Chapter 1463: Chapter 597: A Battle That Shakes the Golden Core (Part 2)

Jin Mantang felt deeply regretful.

However, the next moment, Jin Mantang’s eyes widened, displaying a look of astonishment.

The other cultivators watching the battle felt almost the same.

The corpse of the Flowing Gold Guest suddenly shot out a burst of golden needles, instantly destroying several mechanical dolls.

Immediately, the head of the Flowing Gold Guest turned into a pool of golden liquid, quickly flowing to his body and merging at the neck’s junction, rapidly becoming whole again.

The golden liquid changed form, finally solidifying into his head.

“Huff, huff, huff…”

Flowing Gold Guest suddenly opened his eyes, panting rapidly, as if awakening from a nightmare, his face full of weakness and horror.

“I’m alive again!” Flowing Gold Guest hurriedly struggled to stand up.

He reached out his hand, touching his cheeks and neck, still in shock.

Obviously, this kind of revival was something he experienced very rarely too.

The audience was all very amazed.

In fact, Ning Zhuo felt the same way.

He had just swept his divine sense over several times, confirming that the life aura of Flowing Gold Guest had completely dissipated, not expecting that he could actually come back to life!

Among the cultivators present, there were five Nascent Soul holders, none of whom noticed any discrepancy.

The revival method of the Flowing Gold Guest was quite skillful and extremely covert.

“This should be related to his innate talent, the Golden Liquid Returning Pill Body!”

“This kind of innate talent has long been documented, but each cultivator’s development is very different.”

“The Flowing Gold Guest should have developed his method of resurrection based on this innate talent.”

The cultivators quickly guessed the truth.

The face of the Flowing Gold Guest looked very unpleasant, as this was one of his most significant trump cards. After this battle, it was completely exposed, making him suffer greatly, which was very distressing.

Ning Zhuo expressionlessly drove the Green Forest Python Chariot, slowly flying back.

“Was the Mechanical Ring warning just now because the Flowing Gold Guest had a resurrection method?”

“If I were careless and got close to him, would he break out in a sudden attack?”

“But he just revived, and his counterattack wasn’t impressive. Is he still hiding something?”

Ning Zhuo took out the Ancient Zither again and placed it on his knees.

Looking at Ning Zhuo’s stance as if he was about to start fighting again, Flowing Gold Guest quickly gestured with his hands while retreating: “Wait, wait. Ning Zhuo, I concede, I concede! I’m not fighting anymore!”

Ning Zhuo coldly chuckled: “Senior brother, we’ve both signed a life and death battle contract, and now you say you don’t want to fight?”

Flowing Gold Guest: “Even though we’ve signed a life and death battle contract, the contract didn’t stipulate that neither of us could concede on the spot.”

Ning Zhuo was silent for a moment, continuing to press forward slowly: “Wasn’t senior brother supposed to ‘measure’ me?”

Flowing Gold Guest widened his eyes, retreating further: “You even chopped off my head, what more is there to measure?! You’re strong, you’re formidable, I can’t beat you, alright!”

Seeing Ning Zhuo continue to advance, he hastily emphasized again: “Anyway, I concede!”

For Flowing Gold Guest, he and Ning Zhuo had no real enmity; it was just to repay a favor secretly funded by the Evil Slaying Hall that he sought to use this opportunity.

In essence, he and Ning Zhuo were both settling debts.

Hence, throughout his battle with Ning Zhuo, there was only fighting intent, but no killing intent.

Of course, he never imagined that approaching Ning Zhuo, he would be struck by a fire-attribute spell!

Ning Zhuo’s display of Golden Core Level battle strength already made Flowing Gold Guest take him seriously, without a hint of underestimation. Therefore, him conceding proactively had no psychological barrier.

The life and death battle contract signed before was merely due to face, leaving him no way out.

Now that Flowing Gold Guest had already been defeated, it was tantamount to being kicked off the stage by Ning Zhuo, so he decisively conceded!

The previous surging battle intent also dissipated completely after his brush with death.

“Can I continue fighting him?” Ning Zhuo pondered, shaking his head inwardly.

He was a righteous cultivator, and since the other party had conceded, pressing the attack would damage his righteous reputation severely.

“All things considered, I haven’t officially joined the sect. Killing Flowing Gold Guest now would essentially be an outsider killing a member of the Wanxiang Sect.”

“This juncture would definitely be seized upon by others to attack me. At that point, I’d be in a difficult position politically!”

In previous Feiyun Conferences, newcomers actively participated in the Xingyun Trial set up by sect members, making acquaintances everywhere, then attempting cooperation to complete various tasks of the Feiyun Conference.

How could it escalate to Ning Zhuo’s degree of fighting and killing sect members?

If, like before, when Flowing Gold Guest approached and Ning Zhuo faced a life threat, retaliating fiercely and killing Flowing Gold Guest, it would be acceptable to all.

But now, Ning Zhuo pressing aggressively in an overwhelming advantage against a weaker opponent… how would that be perceived?

How would everyone at the Wanxiang Sect’s Main Mountain Gate view Ning Zhuo? Here you are an outsider; while you could have refrained from fighting, our sect member already conceded, yet you still killed him?!

Ning Zhuo thought for a moment and fully understood that this martial demonstration couldn’t continue any further now that Flowing Gold Guest conceded.

“However, perhaps I can take advantage of this, leveraging Flowing Gold Guest…”

A spirit light flashed in Ning Zhuo’s Divine Sea, followed by a cold laugh: “Senior brother, what you said makes sense.”

“Indeed, the life and death battle contract doesn’t restrict either of us from conceding.”

“In this battle today, I allow you to escape once.”

“But you and I have no old grudges or new enmities, it is our first time meeting, yet you seek trouble with me.”

“When I established Alliance Charge Peak, those likely to bother me should have been forces like the Green Tea Society, Floating Life Association, Thorn Society. You, a loose cultivator, suddenly appeared to ‘measure’ me, you must have been instructed by someone.”
