Chapter 540: The Combined Attack of Heaven and Earth

Random Recommendation:

Zhu Xuanji's eyes contained divine light.The entire battlefield was within his sight; thus far, everything was within his plan."Heaven and Earth Dual Ghosts are renowned experts, but from another perspective, their fame is also their weakness.""The greater the fame, the more likely information is leaked.""A single probing battle, inflicting pain and humiliation upon the Two Zhus Kingdom, will surely lead the vast Two Zhus Kingdom to find a way to counter the Heaven and Earth Dual Ghosts."For instance, True Man Lieyang was urgently dispatched by the royal family of the Two Zhus Kingdom. And the bronze sundial held by the old man was treated as a national treasure, residing in the state treasury. Now retrieved, it immediately shattered the Abyssal Yin Frozen Realm.This is the foundation of a cultivation nation, no small matter, immeasurable!The Heaven and Earth Dual Ghosts were simultaneously targeted by four or five Nascent Soul cultivators, suffering suppression.For a time, Ning Zhuo and the Three Generals' Camp were out of danger, becoming spectators.The Three Generals, Ning Zhuo, and Sun Lingtong within the Mechanical Azure Dragon were all breathing heavily, their hearts still pounding.The battle just now was truly perilous!Not long after the battle began, Liu Guan Zhang and Ning lost the initiative, and could only maintain the situation, passively reacting to moves, unable to gain even a sliver of initiative.If this situation persisted, Ning Zhuo would have had no choice but to let the soldiers of the Three Generals' Camp be slaughtered, and escape with Sun Lingtong using the Mechanical Azure Dragon alone.Of course, he would also take the three of Liu Guan Zhang with him.But such a result was clearly not what Ning Zhuo desired.He had invested heavily and continuously in the Three Generals' Camp.Although he had recouped some of his investment before, abandoning the Three Generals' Camp at this moment would still result in a significant loss overall.Not only was it a calculation of interests, but emotionally, Ning Zhuo was unwilling to give it up.On one hand, he and the Three Generals, Liu Guan Zhang, had developed a tacit understanding and increasingly profound camaraderie in battle. Ning Zhuo admired Liu Er's aspirations and, from the bottom of his heart, was more willing to see Liu Er constantly approach his aspirations.

Tian Shuang flew rapidly in the high heavens, his figure like a long rainbow, twisting wildly, dodging the encirclement of the Nascent Soul cultivators.His Adam's apple bobbed, and he spat out a pale bone sphere.The bone sphere distorted in the high heavens, transforming into a Ghost Gate Pass.The next moment, the Ghost Gate Pass opened wide, and from within surged forth a multitude of ice crystal phantoms and snow bone rakshasas.The ghosts were vast, sweeping across the battlefield.Several Nascent Soul cultivators snorted in unison, each employing their methods, immediately slaughtering countless ghosts."Tian Shuang, today is the anniversary of your death next year!" A cultivator in a blue robe with wide sleeves let out a soft whistle, shooting out a flying sword.The Big Dipper Evil-Slaying Sword! The flying sword drew upon the light of the North Star, turning into a thread, piercing Tian Shuang's brow, delivering a fatal blow."Good! A good Big Dipper Sword Master, a good Big Dipper Evil-Slaying Sword!" Seeing this scene, the other Nascent Soul cultivators praised in unison.But the next moment, Tian Shuang began to move again."Not dead yet?" Everyone was astonished.The Big Dipper Sword Master's brow furrowed tightly, looking at Tian Shuang in disbelief: "This is impossible!"He was certain that he had just pierced the vital point of the Big Dipper Sword Master's brow.Crack, crack.Starting from the ghost cultivator Tian Shuang's brow, numerous cracks rapidly spread across his face. The cracks covered him densely, and in a short time, they covered his entire body.Small pieces of thin ice peeled away from Tian Shuang's body, revealing the life force of others."Wait, you're not Tian Gui (Heaven Ghost)?!"Everyone was startled. This was because they all sensed that the aura emanating from "Tian Shuang" was different from "Tian Shuang," but rather... the aura of Di Gui (Earth Ghost).Crack, crack...A continuous crisp sound echoed, and more and more thin ice peeled off, revealing the appearance within.Indeed, behind the mask of "Tian Shuang" was the face of Di Gui, shrunk by half!"This is... Ghost Mask Technique?!" True Man Lieyang's pupils constricted, recognizing the truth.Thus, many people looked at the battlefield below.There, "Di Hui," who was being surrounded, sneered: "Di Gui, you useless fellow, you actually broke my ghost mask first.""Look at how I use your ghost mask; it's even stronger than your own methods!""Tian Shuang" snorted: "Unravel your encirclement before you mock me.""Di Hui" laughed loudly: "What's so difficult about that? Open your eyes wide and watch closely!"He immediately struck, but this time he no longer used earth element magic, nor ghost path techniques, but ice element!Those who surrounded him were originally a combination of cultivators targeting "Di Gui." At this moment, "Di Gui" suddenly became Tian Gui, and the favorable situation they had created was immediately overturned.On the other side, the situation of "Tian Gui" was the same, catching True Man Lieyang, Shan Yuezi, and others off guard.Liu Guan Zhang and Ning watched intently, focusing all their attention."So Di Gui is Tian Gui, and Tian Gui is Di Gui!""Ghost Mask Technique... It is said that this ghost cultivation method can borrow the power of a Great Ghost to form a ghost mask. Wearing it allows one to impersonate the Great Ghost whose power is borrowed for a period of time.""The Heaven and Earth Dual Ghosts cultivate the Ghost Mask Technique, borrowing power from each other. They are deeply immersed in this technique, such that the ghost mask covers almost their entire body, infinitely close to a divine ability! Truly formidable!!" Ah, Liu Guan Zhang and Ning were all broad-minded individuals; even against mortal enemies, it did not prevent them from viewing objectively and openly praising.The situation in the Two Zhus Kingdom took a sharp turn for the worse!They were indeed caught off guard by this change.Many of their methods were too targeted, but the Heaven and Earth Dual Ghosts suddenly swapped identities, causing many of their schemes to fail.Not only that, they were also counter-targeted.Ning Zhuo had already experienced in the previous battle that the Heaven and Earth Dual Ghosts had completely different personalities, resulting in completely different fighting styles.At this moment, the Heaven and Earth Dual Ghosts, having revealed their true identities, displayed their true temperaments, causing a sudden change in their fighting styles.The cultivators of the Two Zhus Kingdom needed to adapt.The Tian Gui on the ground froze the mountains and forests, pressing down on four Nascent Soul level opponents with his own power, firmly holding the upper hand.The Di Gui in the sky was in a stalemate with his enemies.Di Gui immediately received mockery from Tian Gui."All of you, scram!" Di Gui, enraged and humiliated, stuffed the biggest "culprit" interfering with him—Buddha thoughts—into the Tian Gui mask in one go.Then, he stretched out his palm, grabbed his cheek, and pulled outwards forcefully.He successfully peeled off the Tian Gui mask.The Tian Gui mask was severely damaged, but after leaving the body, it immediately formed itself, like a clone of Tian Gui.But this clone was not fierce at all; instead, it was full of remorse and compassion."My Buddha is above, I am a sinner.""My sins are deep!"Di Gui was fully revealed before everyone. He shook his head, moved his fists and feet, took a deep breath, and sighed: "This is truly refreshing.""You all were having quite a joyous fight.""I hope you can be just as joyous from now on!"Di Gui let out a sinister laugh.With no more interference, he struck with full force, immediately unleashing a terrifying offensive.The several Nascent Soul cultivators in the sky were immediately put at a disadvantage, becoming increasingly disheveled, and their situation became difficult.The aftershocks of the battle affected the Three Generals' Camp on the ground.Ning Zhuo had already retreated into the military camp at this time, but had not yet withdrawn the mechanical army.The aftershocks caused by a death match between Nascent Soul level cultivators should not be underestimated. They were about to resist the aftershocks, but were intercepted by the Tian Gui mask in advance."You need not doubt," the Tian Gui mask said with a solemn expression, a smile on its face, looking at the Three Generals' Camp with boundless tolerance."This is what I owe you.""And protecting the weak and saving all sentient beings is the very meaning of the Buddha."These words immediately left everyone in the Three Generals' Camp speechless."So that's how it is!" Ning Zhuo's eyes flashed with brilliant light, and he immediately explained to the Three Generals."I used a method to infuse a large amount of Buddha thoughts into Tian Gui, no, Di Gui's spiritual sea and upper dantian.""When Di Gui peeled off the Tian Gui mask, he also infused all the Buddha thoughts into the mask.""We were persecuted by Di Gui, so the Tian Gui mask feels remorse and has compassionate Buddha thoughts, which is why it came to help us!"After Ning Zhuo's explanation, the Three Generals immediately understood the reason.They were amazed by Ning Zhuo's methods, which could reach Di Gui's spiritual sea, and also pleasantly surprised to have gained a powerful helper. Of course, there was also caution and vigilance on the third hand."The battle situation has changed again. Let's try to retreat further first," Liu Er issued the military order.The Three Generals' Camp did not dare to change formation rashly, maintaining the Iron Barrel Formation, and slowly moved towards the edge of the battlefield.However, the scope of a Nascent Soul level battle is quite vast.The Three Generals' Camp needed to move a long distance to be truly safe.During this retreat, the Tian Gui mask indeed went all out, not caring about its own damage or injury, to assist the Three Generals' Camp, blocking many attacks for them.The Heaven and Earth Dual Ghosts and the various Nascent Soul cultivators of the Two Zhus Kingdom naturally saw this scene and had no energy to pay attention."No, Ning Zhuo cannot leave!""We, the Heaven and Earth Dual Ghosts, have come out this time. If we cannot even capture a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator, how can we face returning to the sect?!"Seeing Ning Zhuo about to leave, the Heaven and Earth Dual Ghosts became anxious.They shouted in succession: "Seeking death!""Since you wish to be strong, then all of you shall die for us."The Heaven and Earth Dual Ghosts vibrated their arms and shouted in unison: "Heaven Ascends, Earth Descends, Heaven and Earth Strike!"Before the words fell, Di Gui swooped down from the high heavens, and Tian Gui rose from the ground. They faced each other, rapidly flying towards one another.Di Gui's figure was heavy, like a meteor plummeting from the high heavens, bringing forth surging ash. More and more ash gathered, forming a massive rolling black cloud behind him. Crimson firelight flickered in and out within the ash, making Di Gui resemble a descending deity, his aura terrifying.Tian Gui, on the other hand, wore a white robe, like a long spear, rising into the sky, piercing the firmament. Along the way, he trailed a long trail of cold air, ice-blue cold air, like a massive cloak draped behind Tian Gui. Wherever he passed, countless frost flowers flew, and the cold air was rampant, freezing the heavens and the earth.The sky seemed to be splashed with ink, churning and falling, while the ground emitted an ominous indigo floating light.Boom—!The two passed each other in mid-air, erupting in a thunderous roar.Their dual divine abilities combined, forming the Heaven and Earth Strike!
