Chapter 1462: Chapter 597: A Battle That Shook the Golden Core

“Ning Zhuo won?!”

“With mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation, he defeated a Golden Core Cultivator in reverse!”

“Indeed, he is a genius cultivator known throughout the main mountain gate.”

“Though somewhat anticipated, the combat power Ning Zhuo demonstrated was extraordinary. Besides being suppressed initially, he quickly turned the tide.”

The faces of the observing cultivators showed varying expressions of surprise.

Jiang Xiaobian, Ahuo, and others had eyes shining with admiration, which was evident as they gazed at Ning Zhuo.

Gu Huaijiu nodded silently.

Pi Fujie stared at the corpse of Flowing Gold Guest with separate head and body, feeling relieved: “Being friends with Ning Zhuo was the right choice!”

Furnace Immortal Tao Liang remained silent, with waves stirring in his heart: “Ning Zhuo truly has some skills, successfully slaying a Golden Core Cultivator.”

“His attitude towards me is understandable.”

“But, my power is far more comprehensive than Flowing Gold Guest’s. Ning Zhuo still underestimated me.”

Tao Liang’s sense of dissatisfaction was greatly diminished due to Ning Zhuo’s performance.

Zhu Fenxiang transmitted thoughts to Zhu Guizhi: “Mother, you saw it, right? Do not worry about Ning Zhuo.”

Zhu Guizhi savored the joy beyond the words quietly, saying nothing.

Jiang Ping slightly furrowed his brow, rapidly reviewing the entire battle: “Flowing Gold Guest possessed the Heavenly Golden Liquid Returning Pill Body, with impressive combat power. Against ordinary cultivators, he should have steadily gained the advantage.”

“But Ning Zhuo in succession cast two fire-attribute spells that decidedly established the outcome of the battle.”

“The first spell purified the ‘Gold Touching Technique’, depriving Flowing Gold Guest of his advantage in resource consumption warfare. The second spell was even sharper, directly beheading him!”

“Ning Zhuo… is he truly a Mechanism Cultivator?”

Jiang Ping unavoidably harbored this doubt from deep within.

Similar confusion came from Dong Nishang, Hundred Herbs Elder, Mu Yuehua.

“Although Ning Zhuo operated the mechanical flying birds adeptly, he never once employed a mechanical technique.”

“Rather, his Five Elements Magic proved formidable. The wood element, the fire attribute, both were remarkable.”

“Especially the fire attribute, Ning Zhuo was truly exceptional.”

Nine Fire Dragon Lord, sensitive to fire spells, looked far into where Ning Zhuo was, thinking: “The Flame Saber he unleashed at last, what kind of spell is that? Flowing Gold Guest’s self-protection should at least parallel a defensive treasure, but he was swiftly slain. This spell seems to subtly counteract Flowing Gold Guest’s innate talents.”

“Ning Zhuo’s consecutive fire spells both restrained Flowing Gold Guest. His luck is indeed outstanding.”

Nine Fire Dragon Lord couldn’t help but admire Ning Zhuo even more.

The combat ability Ning Zhuo exhibited gained his partial approval.

After all, Ning Zhuo’s safety is closely tied to Nanming Village. Ning Zhuo as a focal point being anything but a weakness is something Nine Fire Dragon Lord is glad to see.

Zhong Limei metamorphosed into Poison Annihilation Wanderer Tan Zhu, then focused intently on the elixir Ning Zhuo deliberately consumed.

He analyzed in his heart: “Ning Zhuo’s two fire spells determined the victory of this battle. The fire attribute’s power surged greatly, far exceeding previous wood element spells, achieving Golden Core level due to the elixir he took.”

“The elixir appears as a common Nourishing Spirit Pill but in reality, amplifies the fire attribute. What exactly is its name?”

Zhong Limei, considering himself knowledgeable and sharp-eyed due to his lifetime of alchemy practice, yet failed to discern the true nature of the elixir, arousing a curiosity within him.

His evaluation of Ning Zhuo thus increased.

Ye Qingming, Li Ku, Jin Mantang bore expressions of gravity.

The newly established Nanming Village will profoundly impact the old order of Flowing Cloud Peak. Ning Zhuo washed away doubts regarding his combat power through this battle.

This young cultivator with mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation indeed possesses Golden Core level combat power!

He is not a pushover.

Among the three, Jin Mantang’s thoughts were more complex.

Though he appeared grave, his gaze was fixed on the corpse of Flowing Gold Guest: “I’ve already given the ‘Jade Shattering Thunder’ to Flowing Gold Guest, but he didn’t use it.”

“Nevertheless, it doesn’t matter. This ‘Jade Shattering Thunder’ can sense, especially after the owner perishes, it remains in a triggered state.”

“So, Ning Zhuo, why aren’t you cleaning up the battlefield yet?”

In the martial arts arena, Ning Zhuo exhaled a breath of turbid air.

“It’s over.”

He could distinctly sense that Flowing Gold Guest’s life aura had dissipated.

With a thought, he was about to collect the enemy’s body when the mechanical ring on his hand suddenly contracted slightly.

“Hmm?!” Ning Zhuo became alert instantly.

“Is there danger lurking that I haven’t detected?”

He already used divine sense several times to scan the body of Flowing Gold Guest.

Ning Zhuo sat firmly upon the Green Forest Python Chariot, immediately controlling this mechanical carriage, fleeing rapidly to the outskirts of the battlefield.

Simultaneously, he sent forward some mechanical dolls, commanding them to pounce onto Flowing Gold Guest’s corpse.

This unusual scene quickly made the onlookers feel a trace of peculiarity.

Jin Mantang’s pupils abruptly shrank in shock: “What’s going on? My ‘Jade Shattering Thunder’ is a single-use magic treasure, great at concealment. How did Ning Zhuo identify it merely using divine sense without employing detection spell?”

Ning Zhuo’s mechanical dolls were only palm-sized.

They were originally crafted for routine mechanism training.

Ning Zhuo operated them with great skill, having once interrogated Han Ming with them. Now using them to search the body was quite apt.

“Damn.”

“With such distance and vigilance, triggering the thunder won’t deliver a fatal blow to Ning Zhuo!”
