Chapter 558: Ning Zhuo vs. Xiang Yue

Ning Zhuo raised his head and saw Xiang Yuelooming over him, his physique robust,like a towering mountain.

A fierce wind suddenly rose!

Facing Ning Zhuo, Xiang Yue naturally showedno politeness, sweeping his arm out casually.

In an instant, Ning Zhuo felt the world darken.Xiang Yue's thick arm, with immense power and force,swept forth with an unstoppable momentum,as if to level everything.

Ning Zhuo quickly arrayed the automaton puppetsdirectly in front of himself.

Crackle, pop.

Xiang Yue's sweeping armsmashed all the automaton puppetsinto countless fragments,like splitting rotten wood!

Ning Zhuo retreated with difficulty.

Xiang Yue took a mighty stride forward,shaking the nearby ground with the impact.

He extended his left hand, fingers spread,and covered Ning Zhuo from above, downwards.

Martial Skill — A Single Hand Covers the Sky!

In an instant, Ning Zhuo's pupilsshrank to the size of pinpricks.

He felt the sky turn black. Xiang Yue's palminfinitely magnified in his eyes, leaving himnowhere to hide, nowhere to evade. All resistancewas futile!

Ning Zhuo was rooted to the spot.

"Dare not harm my Military Advisor!!!"In this critical moment, Zhang Hei roared,disregarding life and death, and rushed to Ning Zhuo's side.His voice was like a thunderclap, echoing in Ning Zhuo's ears,startling the latter awake.

"Is this how it feels to face Xiang Yue directly?!"

"What immense pressure!"

This was certainly not somethingthat could be felt by observing from the side.

Ning Zhuo felt suffocated at one point.He was completely stunned. Zhang Hei's roarwas like waking him from a nightmare.

Had it not been for this, he feared he would havemet with calamity!

Zhang Hei raised his Black Serpent Spear high,employing military strategy, to directly resistXiang Yue's martial skill, A Single Hand Covers the Sky.

Xiang Yue snatched the Black Serpent Spear,and with a sweeping motion of his arm,struck Zhang Hei's waist, directly sending the latter flying.

Not only did Zhang Hei lose his weapon,but while still in mid-air, he profusely vomited blood.The ribs on one side were completely shattered,and even the lumbar vertebrae showed large areas of bone fracture.

Zhang Hei heavily landed on the ground,leaving a trail of blood. Even with his toughness,he couldn't stand up for a while.

Liu Er rushed to his side, immediatelyemploying talismans to heal him.

Xiang Yue held the Black Serpent Spear with both hands.The next moment, he exerted force in both arms,his muscles bulging like blocks of stone.With immense power, he actually bent the Black Serpent Spear,folding it in half.

His own weapon severely damaged, Zhang Heiwas again subjected to backlash. With pain in body and mind,he spat out another mouthful of blood.

Xiang Yue casually discarded the Black Serpent Spear,and once again charged towards Ning Zhuo.

He employed martial skill, taking giant strides,instantly closing the distance between himself and Ning Zhuo.

Innate Talent — Purple Beard Startles the Swan!

Guan Hong's beard, already as red as blood,now radiated a purple hue, restraining Xiang Yue,fixing him in place for a breath's time.

Only then did Ning Zhuo truly widen the distance,temporarily safe.

After pulling away, he felt like a fishthat had been on land and returned to water,experiencing a sense of newfound freedom.

"Military Advisor, be careful! Do not get too close to Xiang Yue.He has been maintaining the Undefeatable Stance!"Guan Hong transmitted his spiritual sense.

The previous exchanges, seemingly long,were in fact close-quarters combat,with extremely high frequency and every second counting.Only now did Guan Hong have a chance to communicate with Ning Zhuo.

Martial Skill — Undefeatable Stance!

Ning Zhuo's heart stirred, and he instantly understood.

Once this martial skill is employed,it makes every movement of the cultivatorcarry a powerful aura,exerting immense pressure on the surroundings.

The three generals, Liu, Guan, and Zhang, were fine;after all, they were at the Golden Core level.

Although Ning Zhuo's combat power was at the Golden Core level,he was essentially still a Foundation Establishment cultivator.There was a cross-realm gap in spirit.

Hence, his performance was quite awkward.

"Elephant King previously used the martial skill Army Breaker Stance,and now it's the Undefeatable Stance.It seems he is of the 'Stance school'within the martial skill schools."Sun Lingtong reminded Ning Zhuo.

Ning Zhuo nodded, and with a thought,he ordered Yuan Dasheng and Meng Yehu to charge forward.

On the other side, Guan Hong also took the opportunityto charge towards Xiang Yue with the repaired Blood Dragon Saber.

Two great Golden Core automaton warriors,coordinating with Guan Hong,圍攻 Xiang Yue.

Xiang Yue stood firm, only attacking, not defending,allowing all kinds of attacks to fall upon him.

Martial Skill — Immovable Stance!

Xiang Yue's defense was incredibly astonishing!The Blood Dragon Saber, employing saber techniquesand bolstered by military strategy,could only inflict some saber marks on him.

After Meng Yehu's幽戮 Claw poked a few times,it broke, only piercing Xiang Yue's outer skin.

Xiang Yue countered and struck forcefully.A shoulder charge directly knocked downthe heavily armored Blood Ape, Dasheng.Half of the heavily armored body of Yuan Dasheng,who was as tall as a three-story building,suffered severe deformation.

Xiang Yue stepped down with one foot.

One Foot Splits the Earth!

He stepped down heavily, directly crushingYuan Dasheng's chest, rendering thisautomaton warrior useless on the spot.

Almost simultaneously, Ning Zhuo'shair stood on end, and his aura surged.

"Little Zhuo!" Sun Lingtong cried out in a low voice,his eyes filled with worry.

Ning Zhuo exhaled a turbid breath.In that instant, he had sweated profusely.Now, the sweat was evaporating,steam surrounding him, dissipatingthrough the gaps in the Hundred-Armed Arhat Armor.

"I'm fine! Boss, don't worry."Ning Zhuo quickly scanned his body with his spiritual sense.After finding no problems, he became very excited.

It turned out that this time,he had included Yuan Dasheng and Meng Yehuwithin the Military Strategy: Strong Man Return Technique.

Yuan Dasheng was different from ordinary automaton puppetsand automaton golden swallows;it possessed considerable combat power.It was just that in front of Xiang Yue,it was suppressed and did not manifest its full strength.

With Yuan Dasheng destroyed, Ning Zhuo'scombat power immediately soared by a large margin!

Xiang Yue threw two more punches, repelling Meng Yehu and Guan Hong.

Ning Zhuo did not dare to approach easily,only attacking from a distance with Five Elements spells and the like.

Liu Er assisted Zhang Hei. Seeing that he hadthe ability to defend himself and could heal on his own,he immediately withdrew and joined the battle.

Zhang Hei took several potent medicines,forcibly healing about seventy to eighty percent.He could not delay any longer and re-entered the battlefield.

After many days, Liu, Guan, Zhang, and Ningonce again joined forces for a fierce battle.

Their tacit understanding had long been cultivated.Their cooperation, if not perfectly seamless,was certainly fluid and natural.

However, their enemy this time was simply too powerful!

The contemporary Elephant King — Xiang Yue.

His original form was the Pale Savage Elephant.His racial talent was incredibly fierce,and he possessed divine abilities.His martial skill attainments were immensely profound.

Although the four, Liu, Guan, Zhang, and Ning, were greater in number,they were the completely disadvantaged party.

From time to time, someone would be blasted away,vomiting blood incessantly. After urgent treatment,they would quickly rush back to rejoin the battle.

The main body of the Three Generals' Campretreated to the rear, maintaining a tight defensive formation.They focused on providing military strengthto the three generals and dared not approach the battle group at all.

Snap!

Guan Hong's Blood Dragon Saber,having constantly blocked Xiang Yue's punches and kicks,finally couldn't endure it and disintegrated again.Only the saber hilt remained in Guan Hong's hand.

Liu Er's Xuanhuang Sword was also severely deformed.It was clear at a glance that this swordwould also not be able to last for long.

"This is bad. If this continues, the three generalswill all fall into the embarrassing situation of being unarmed."Ning Zhuo was extremely worried.

The next moment, Xiang Yue seized the opportunityand grabbed Meng Yehu's right calf.

His other hand immediately reached out,directly seizing Meng Yehu's left arm.

Xiang Yue roared, unleashing terrifying immense power,and actually tore the Shadow Edge Blade, Night Tiger,into two segments.

Although Meng Yehu possessed the Assassin's Hundred Blades Hidden Edge,this move would stir up a storm of blades,indiscriminate of friend or foe, thus it could not be activated.

Ning Zhuo could only watch helplesslyas Meng Yehu was destroyed.

His heartbeat quickened, and he sweated profusely again.Had he not been wearing the heavy automaton armor,his hair would have stood on end at this moment.

His aura soared once more!

Even Liu, Guan, and Zhang, in the midst of fierce combat,cast astonished and uncertain glances.

Fist Crushes Mountain.

Xiang Yue extended his arm,his right fist thrusting straight out.

The air exploded. The fist,gleaming with a metallic sheen,fiercely struck Ning Zhuo's chest.

With a muffled thud, Ning Zhuoretreated three steps consecutively.

For the first time since the engagement began,Xiang Yue's expression slightly changed: "Hmm?"

Liu, Guan, and Zhang's eyes widened: ???!

"!!" Ning Zhuo himself was also exceptionally surprised.

He hadn't expected that he wouldn't be sent flying,but only retreat three large steps,before stabilizing himself.

"Wait."

"Elephant King has been maintaining the Undefeatable Stance,but I just came into close contact with him,and was not repelled."

Ning Zhuo suddenly realized:After successively losing Meng Yehu, Yuan Dasheng,and a large number of automaton puppets,his combat power had increased to the pointwhere he could directly confront Xiang Yue.

Within the Myriad Miles Roaming Dragon, Sun Lingtong shouted:"Little Zhuo, you can fight!

"You can still fight!!"Similar thoughts surged in the hearts of Liu, Guan, and Zhang.

The first to notice this scene was Lin Bufan,hidden at the edge of the battlefield.

"Ning Zhuo can actually withstand a blow from Xiang Yue."

Lin Bufan's face was filled with disbelief.He suddenly turned his headto look at Zhu Xuanji beside him.

At this moment, he suddenly understood why,since observing the battle, Zhu Xuanjihad not been concerned about Ning Zhuo's safety,showing not a hint of tension.

"Divine Constable Zhu understands Ning Zhuo very well,knowing that this brat cannot be judged by ordinary means!"Lin Bufan thought to himself.

Zhu Xuanji was genuinely not surprised:"Ning Zhuo was chosen by the three Sect Lordsas the son of destiny to overcome calamity.Such a performance is to be expected."

Ning Zhuo let out a light cry,and charged forward,engaging Xiang Yue once more.

With his proactive engagement,the situation of this battle groupunderwent a subversive transformation.

It was no longer the previous situation whereLiu, Guan, Zhang, and Ning were completely suppressed,but rather a near-stalemate!

With Ning Zhuo as the main force,resisting the pressure from Xiang Yue,the three, Liu, Guan, and Zhang, decisively圍繞 Ning Zhuo as the core,constantly flanking or helping Ning Zhuoshare the attacks, as well as casting healing spells.

After recovering the main remnants of Yuan Dasheng and Meng Yehu,Ning Zhuo immediately entered a state of single-minded focus,concentrating entirely on confronting Xiang Yue!

This was the first time he haddirectly confronted such a strong opponent.

In fact, he had never imaginedhe would have such a combat experience.

The pressure Xiang Yue exerted on Ning Zhuowas still extremely immense.Even though Ning Zhuo's combat powerhad increased to this extent.

The favorable aspect was that Xiang Yue's moveswere straightforward, simple, and clear.

For Xiang Yue, relying on his terrifying physical quality,Nascent Soul level cultivation,and martial skills and divine abilities,was already enough to deal with almost all challenges in life.

This was undoubtedly quite friendly to Ning Zhuo,who had a weakness in close-quarters combat skills.

In a certain sense, the massive, often immobile,staying put, or otherwise charging headfirst Xiang Yue,was Ning Zhuo's best punching bag.
