Next to the chessboard, Dugu Ao was gasping for breath. After retreating from the field, everyone found that he couldn't even walk steadily. Fortunately, Xing Yuan hurriedly went forward to support him. After returning, Dugu Ao found an empty space and sat down. He took out a large amount of the Heavenly Devil Sect's Blood Essence Pills and stuffed them into his mouth. After that, he didn't care about anything else and sat down to rest. Xing Yuan sat not far from Dugu Ao to protect him.
Yi Tian was happy to see this. These two people really appreciated each other. If it wasn't for the fact that they were in different sects, they might have become close friends. Thinking back to the scene just now, Yi Tian was worried for Dugu Ao. Under his attack, there wasn't a single part of the Black General's body that was intact. Even the King's Sword in its hand was cut in half.
But what made people's hair stand up was that the Black General was still able to counterattack even after going through so much. Moreover, although Dugu Ao's strength was overwhelming, he couldn't withstand the puppet's rough skin. Everyone estimated that if a normal cultivator was hit like that, they wouldn't be able to withstand it.
The people of the Heavenly Fate Sect were truly amazing. To be able to come up with something so unexpected, they couldn't help but admire them. Although the Black General looked tattered, no one doubted its strength. After taking a heavy blow from Dugu Ao, the Black General angrily counterattacked. If it wasn't for the rules restricting it from leaving the central palace, Dugu Ao wouldn't have just overdrafted his spirit power.
After ten breaths of time, there was some noise coming from the field. Yi Tian turned his head and saw the Black General dragging its tattered body back to the center of the central palace.
At this moment, Du Heiyi and Shui Dongcheng both had drooping faces and a look of disappointment appeared in their eyes. It seemed that this expedition would have to come to an end here. In this market, the Red Team still had the Commander and Knight, like the Three Sons. Due to the rules, the Three Sons were not allowed to cross the river and attack each other. That was why these two people were acting like this.
Yi Tian, who was sitting in front of the chessboard, smiled and said to Yang Ling, "Brother Yang, soldiers are trained for a thousand days to be used in a single moment. I will give you the opportunity to choose the treasures. I hope you won't disappoint me."
Unexpectedly, Yang Ling laughed loudly and said, "Since Brother Yi has expressed himself, I can't be lazy anymore. But how can you let the red team win this round?"
It was easier to talk to smart people. Yi Tian smiled but did not say anything. He turned around and picked up the Red Commander and moved one step toward the Nine Palaces. Suddenly, the whole Drill Ground shook again, and three words appeared on the small chessboard: King versus King.
Yang Ling was involuntarily moved to a position that was very close to the Black General's line. According to the rules, the Black General would be the first to attack. The Black General, who was not supposed to be able to leave the Middle Palace, strode toward the Nine Palaces of the Red Team.
This made Shui Dong Cheng and Du Heiyi laugh. They originally thought that there was no way out, but they didn't expect that Yi Tian would actually come up with such a move of king against king. What came next would depend on Yang Ling's abilities. Even though the Black General was already at the end of its tether after two attacks, no one knew if it would turn around at the last moment and kill all of the red team members by an unexpected surprise.
Moreover, the Black General was the first to attack this time. Everyone was worried for Yang Ling and hoped that he would be able to rise.
Facing the aggressive Black General, Yang Ling also directly greeted Yi Tian. Previously, he had seen how the two Red Team Generals fought the Black General. Now, he had to face off against a King, and he had to take a blow first. Although this gave him a chance to choose first, it could only be fulfilled after he defeated his opponent.
There was no point in thinking too much. Yang Ling saw that the white light around his body had faded away. He knew that he could not avoid it, so he could only pick up the sword in his hand and meet it. When the weapons of the two sides collided, there was a crisp sound. After Yang Ling took the blow, he was forced to kneel on one knee.
As the Black General revealed his true colors, the two of them began to fight in the Red Palace. Little did they know that Shui Dongcheng was watching enthusiastically from the side. He pointed and said, "I didn't expect Yang Ling's strength to be so strong. I must have misjudged him. He's not inferior to Dugu Ao and Xing Yuan." As soon as he finished speaking, the two people resting on the side looked at each other coldly.
Yi Tian smiled at Shui Dongcheng and said, "Brother Dongcheng, there is a problem with your eyesight. That is the problem with the Spiritual Weapon. Yang Ling is probably good with the Spiritual Sword, so his strength is normal. Previously, both of them did not use their own weapons, so their strength was reduced by 30%. Don't you think so?" His words eased the awkward atmosphere. Shui Dongcheng squinted his eyes and nodded in agreement.
Xing Yuan and Dugu Ao's expressions also eased a little. However, Yi Tian scolded loudly, "Shui Dongcheng, you coward. Don't you know the strength of the people you found? There is something wrong with Yang Ling. Now is the time to test him and see how strong he really is."
Ignoring the situation outside the arena, Yang Ling was caught in a tough battle inside the arena. Fortunately, the Black General seemed to have used up too much of his energy, and his attacks were much weaker than before. Moreover, just as Yi Tian had said, Yang Ling was able to unleash the full power of the Spiritual Weapon in his hand. At first, the battle between the two kings was one-sided. Unexpectedly, Yang Ling had put in a lot of effort in his movement techniques. He dodged left and right, and did not fight the Black General head-on.
Relying on his faster mobility, he avoided danger everywhere. Yi Tian felt that Yang Ling seemed to be in a difficult situation, but he was unconsciously defending and neutralizing his opponent's attacks. Even so, Yi Tian was even more suspicious. Why did it seem like Yang Ling was deliberately going easy on him? He still did not want to win quickly.
Everyone had spent a lot of time in this battle. Thinking of this, Yi Tian secretly observed Tong Yan. He realized that she did not care about Yang Ling's situation at all. Her confident expression was as if she knew that Yang Ling would definitely win.
After fifteen minutes, there was a sudden change in the battle. The Black General's movements became more and more uncoordinated. He would be hit by Yang Ling once every five or six moves, leaving a sword mark on his body.
Du Heiyi laughed loudly and said to Yi Tian, "Looks like Yang Ling took advantage of us. This clearly shows that the energy of the Essence Crystal in the Black General's body is about to be exhausted. If this continues, we will win if we drag it out until it can't move anymore."
After hearing this, Yi Tian only nodded without any change in expression. Then, he fell into deep thought. Seeing Yi Tian like this, Du Heiyi also asked for a rebuff. He turned to chat with Shui Dongcheng.
After fighting for nearly two hours, Yang Ling gained the absolute upper hand. He controlled the spiritual sword in his hand to attack the Black General back and forth. Most of the time, his attacks landed on the original wounds. The puppet's body had layers of armor peeled off, revealing the skeleton and the energy hub in the center.
With a loud shout, Yang Ling controlled the flying sword to attack the puppet's energy core. As the Black General's movements became slower and slower, the core's cover was also blown away. With a 'break', the entire spiritual sword pierced through the energy box. Then, the Black General puppet stood there motionless.
After three breaths, when Yang Ling pulled out the parts, the entire puppet fell to the ground as if it had fallen apart. A palm-sized Iron Eight Trigrams fell out of the puppet's body. Everyone was overjoyed when they saw this. This should be the key to passing the trial.
After the formation was broken, the entire drill ground was littered with puppet shelves. Shui Dongcheng knew how to take advantage of the situation. After suffering enough from the puppet, he also knew that these scattered parts could be sold as materials. Yi Tian only told him to keep the remnant soul of the Black General for himself.
Then, Yi Tian ran forward to pick up the keepsake on the ground and looked at it. This Iron Eight Trigrams looked like a Luo Geng Disk. Unfortunately, it lacked a central needle. Suddenly, Yi Tian felt that the Luo Geng Disk Holder and the newly smelted needle in the Inscription of Flame Ring had a little reaction. He thought to himself, "I've searched for it thousands of times in my dreams, and now I've found it without any effort. It seems that I'm fated to have this Luo Geng Disk. And this thing is definitely not as simple as it looks."
After laughing a few times, Yi Tian said to Yang Ling, "Brother Yang has contributed greatly this time. I'll give Brother Yang the right to choose the treasure first. In this way, as long as we find treasures, Brother Yang, Brother Dongcheng and Brother Du will each choose one in order. Then, we'll divide it equally."
Once he said this, Yang Ling's expression became slightly better. In fact, he was lucky to pass the trial just now. Fortunately, it was worth it.
After Shui Dongcheng finished cleaning up the drill ground, Yi Tian took the Luo Geng Disk and walked to the stone door behind the Black Throne. There was a circular groove in front of it, the shape of which matched the Luo Geng Disk. After Yi Tian directly inserted the Luo Geng Disk, only a creaking sound was heard. The whole door automatically opened from the inside to the outside.
Behind the door was a bedroom with a stone bed in the middle. Next to it was a storage shelf with several treasures and a few storage bags on it. Everyone's emotions were stirred up. Wasn't everyone working hard to find treasures? Now that the treasures were in front of them, everyone seemed a little nervous.
At this time, Yi Tian suggested, "Everyone was able to get the treasures this time because of everyone's unity. So, I'll invite the two fairies to go up and count the spoils. The few of us will wait outside. When the time comes, we'll list the items one by one, and then choose according to the order of selection."
Hearing this, no one objected. Anyway, when two people went in to count, they would supervise each other. Everyone outside had already scanned the area with their Divine Sense first. When the time came, they would be able to tell them if anything was missing.
The biggest winner of this expedition was Yi Tian. While everyone's Divine Sense was concentrated in the inner cave, Yi Tian quietly put the Luo Geng Disk into his storage ring, so that he could reassemble the three parts when he returned. As for the treasures on the shelf, at this time, they were of little value to Yi Tian.
