The violent palm force was like a flood breaking through a dam, destroying everything in its path and shattering the crossbow towers and the wall they were on!
"Amitabha."
Xiao Zizai withdrew his hand, looking at the damage he had caused. His smile grew even brighter. He looked around as if searching for the next, more interesting piece of "trash."
Zhuge Qing and Wang Ye, who had already been drawn into the battle, were in even worse shape.
They had intended to escape in the chaos, but they didn't expect that the Divine Array would indiscriminately include them as well.
The two stood back to back. Zhuge Qing's talismans flew, setting up defensive formations, while Wang Ye kept manipulating the four plates, trying to find a glimmer of hope in this chaotic killing situation.
But their strength seemed so insignificant in the face of this war machine, composed of an entire village and filled with murderous intent.
In an instant, the situation on the entire battlefield became increasingly chaotic and bloody.
The temporary workers and the company's main force not only had to deal with the fearless Shang Genqi and villagers, but also had to be constantly on guard against the unpredictable and insidious traps and puppets that attacked from all directions.
The battle instantly became intense and deadlocked.
"Chu Lan, Bao Bao, there's a group of villagers trapped at three o'clock. Go and take care of them! Black Pipe, provide cover fire!"
Amidst this chaotic situation, a calm yet undeniable voice rang clearly in the ears of every temporary worker and core member of the company through an encrypted communication channel.
Although he had long since left the main battlefield, his divine sense remained like an invisible giant net, constantly enveloping the entire battlefield and taking in every change in every corner.
He was like a master chess player, calmly maneuvering each piece on this chaotic chessboard.
The seemingly disorganized actions of temporary workers and company team members were linked together into a well-defined and mutually supportive whole.
Upon receiving the order, Zhang Chulan and Feng Baobao did not hesitate and immediately changed direction, rushing towards the area surrounded by mechanical puppets.
Meanwhile, the black-barreled guns, positioned far up the hillside, immediately turned their guns around, their precise firepower like the scythe of death, clearing away the biggest obstacle to their advance.
A counterattack network, comprised of temporary workers and the company, is quietly taking shape amidst this chaotic killing spree.
At this moment, Ma Xianhong, the instigator who caused all this chaos, had already been completely devoured by the out-of-control cultivation furnace.
His body merged with that enormous furnace in an extremely bizarre way.
He became the last, and most insane...core of this "demon furnace".
Chapter 224 Zhang Yunyuan Makes His Move, His Thunder Technique Shocks the World
The bamboo path leading to Chen Duo's residence was so quiet that only the rustling of the wind through the bamboo leaves and the unhurried footsteps of the two could be heard.
Jin Yangzi walked ahead, dressed in white overalls, with frameless glasses perched on her nose, her steps leisurely, as if she were simply taking a stroll in her own backyard.
Behind him was Zhang Yunyuan, disguised as "Li Fei," dressed in coarse cloth, with an ordinary face and a restrained aura, like the most inconspicuous follower.
The two were three zhang apart, neither too close nor too far, yet an invisible bow of murderous intent had already been drawn.
Jin Yangzi suddenly stopped.
He didn't turn around, but just looked at the bamboo forest in front of him, which was bathed in moonlight and looked cold and serene, and spoke in a calm tone as if he were chatting casually.
"You've followed me all this way, what do you want?"
Zhang Yunyuan also stopped, his honest expression unchanged, but his voice returned to its original coldness.
"What are you planning to do to that girl now?"
Jin Yangzi slowly turned around, his gaze behind his glasses falling on Zhang Yunyuan, carrying a faint, mocking look, as if he were a superior scrutinizing an ant.
"I thought you were a smart person, knowing what to ask and what not to ask."
He pushed up his glasses. "The fact that the Poisonous Saint Child has survived until now is already a 'creation' of our Immortal Refining Sect. Her fate should naturally be decided by us."
You're just a lowly ant in this mortal world, meddling far too much.
A cold smile curled at the corner of Zhang Yunyuan's lips. "Using a living person as material, as a 'living core' to stabilize your evil furnace, is this your Immortal Refining Sect's 'work'?"
The smile on Jin Yangzi's face finally disappeared completely.
A flicker of surprise crossed his eyes, which quickly turned into a chilling killing intent.
"It seems you know far more than I thought."
He stopped talking and made a loose clenching motion with his right hand.
A perfectly round, pale golden disc, with what appeared to be nebula flowing inside, appeared out of thin air in his palm.
"Since you're so eager to die, I'll grant your wish."
The disc flashed with light, and an invisible yet mountain-like force field suddenly spread out, enveloping the space within a radius of ten feet.
The air seemed to freeze instantly, and even the sound of the wind stopped.
The force field carried an overwhelming and unparalleled power of rules, as if it wanted to erase everything in this space from its very foundation.
The system prompt appears:
【Magic Weapon: Golden Sun Treasure Wheel (Lower Earth Grade)】
[A core magical artifact secretly passed down by the Immortal Refining Sect. Forged from the essence of star cores, it forms its own domain, capable of neutralizing all spells and crushing all things, combining offense and defense.]
However, the instant that invisible force field touched his body, a cold glint flashed in Zhang Yunyuan's eyes, and he suddenly pulled out his right hand, which had been in his pocket!
In his hand was a pistol with cold, hard lines and intricate, mysterious patterns engraved on its body!
"Hmm? Ordinary firearms?"
Jin Yangzi paused for a moment, then scoffed, "Ridiculous! You think this kind of..."
His words stopped abruptly.
Because Zhang Yunyuan didn't aim at him at all, but instead raised his hand with lightning speed and pulled the trigger on the golden sun wheel that was spinning wildly in the sky!
A sharp, clear gunshot rang out.
A highly condensed, spiraling, grayish-white energy projectile struck the Golden Sun Wheel instantly.
It sounded like a balloon being pricked by a needle.
The grayish-white Qi bullet contained a peculiar "annihilation" property, which forcibly neutralized and disrupted the stable force field of that area!
The absolute domain formed by the Golden Sun Wheel shattered like broken glass.
"what?!"
Jin Yangzi's pupils shrank sharply, and the sneer on his face instantly turned into disbelief and horror!
"You actually saw through and shattered my Treasure Wheel Domain?! That's impossible! What kind of magical artifact is that?!"
He could see clearly that it was no ordinary pistol, but a precision Qi energy weapon that could highly compress, transform, and imbue the user's Qi with special attributes before firing!
The ingenuity of its principles and the precision with which it broke through the impasse far exceeded his understanding of the level of weapon crafting in this world!
"The magic weapon that will kill you."
Zhang Yunyuan's voice was calm, yet it carried a chilling undertone.
It is a Heaven-rank magic weapon that is also an Earth-rank weapon, and it is a bullet condensed from Primordial Dao Qi.
Its power is naturally extraordinary!
The Primordial Qi erupted with a roar, and the terrifying Qi that was so vast and boundless, seemingly capable of encompassing and crushing all things, soared into the sky!
He gave Jin Yangzi no chance to regroup, raising his right hand again with the "Hundred Refinements" gun, locking the muzzle on Jin Yangzi, his cold killing intent undisguised!
A protective barrier of Qi quickly condensed around Jin Yangzi, but it shattered under the bombardment of Hunyuan Dao Qi.
"A half-step Innate Realm cultivator dares to be so insolent before me?"
Zhang Yunyuan's voice was icy cold. He took a step forward, and the bluestone slab beneath his feet cracked inch by inch.
For the first time, Jin Yangzi's face showed surprise, not because of fear, but because of the shock of having her understanding shattered.
"A Heaven-Rank Magic Weapon? Innate Cultivation? This is impossible! How could an ordinary mortal be so powerful?!"
He shouted sharply, a hint of heartache and determination flashing in his eyes.
As a weapon refiner, although his own cultivation was extraordinary, his true combat power lay mostly in the magical artifacts he painstakingly crafted.
Seeing Baolun suffer a setback, he did not hesitate to unleash his trump card.
His mind raced, and the Golden Sun Wheel let out a mournful cry, but its light increased instead of decreasing, becoming extremely dazzling, clearly pushed to its limit.
The power of this golden light is enough to kill a top-tier extraordinary person!
However, Zhang Yunyuan neither dodged nor avoided the attack.
He put away his pistol, raised his right hand, spread his five fingers, and in his palm, a more dazzling and violent golden lightning suddenly gathered!
"I'll make sure you die knowing why. Even without magical artifacts, you're nothing but an ant before me. Thunder Spell!"
A low shout, like a divine decree from the heavens.
"Thunder in the Palm!"
A bolt of golden lightning, as thick as a child's arm, carrying the might of heaven, burst forth from his palm and collided violently with the golden beam of light!
Lightning and golden light intertwined, bursting forth with blinding brilliance. Terrifying energy shockwaves swept wildly in all directions, crushing and shredding the resilient bamboo forest into dust!
Jin Yangzi was forced to retreat repeatedly by the violent backlash, his face filled with disbelief.
The opponent's lightning technique was even more powerful and domineering than his own Golden Sun Divine Light!
Zhang Yunyuan, having gained the upper hand, pressed his advantage relentlessly. He stepped on the Seven Stars formation, his figure approaching like a ghost.
With hands forming a mudra, one can draw upon the Qi of heaven and earth.
"Five Thunder Orthodox Method - Thunder Net!"
In an instant, the situation changed!
Thousands of tiny golden lightning bolts burst forth from his fingertips, weaving in mid-air into a massive lightning net covering an area of tens of feet in radius. With a terrifying aura that could seal off heaven and earth and purify all things, it descended upon Jin Yangzi!
Jin Yangzi's expression changed drastically; he had never seen such exquisite control of lightning magic before!
This is no longer a simple technique, but a realm that is almost "Tao"!
He dared not be negligent in the slightest and hurriedly summoned another protective magic weapon.
"Eight-Treasure Glazed Cover!"
A glass umbrella, crafted from eight rare crystals of different attributes, suddenly opened above his head, radiating a seven-colored radiance and forming a seemingly thin yet indestructible defensive barrier.
