Mountains and rivers are waiting for you to return

Chapter 35: Pillar of Gods and Demons

Zhou Yuliang was forced to retreat and avoided Zhang Sheng's attack.

The long axe fell to the ground, and Zhang Sheng retracted his right fist and fired a series of crossbows from his left wrist, forcing Zhou Yuliang to move.

Zhou Yuliang was agile and took several steps, but accidentally stepped on an inconspicuous black piece, and the familiar mechanism appeared again in an instant.

Countless black flakes emerged from under his feet, forming circles and encircling his right foot.

The last crossbow narrowly missed his ear.

Zhang Sheng took his hand back and said, "You lose."

Zhou Yuliang looked at the mechanism under his feet in disbelief, "When was this set up?"

"When I jumped into the air," Zhang Sheng kindly answered, pointing to the two cylindrical blocks, "they were thrown down together."

Zhou Yuliang smiled resignedly, "It's really ingenious. Everyone only noticed the two bigger mechanisms. Their eyes were completely attracted by you flying high in the air. How could they see this inconspicuous black piece? A small cylindrical mechanism can serve three purposes. It's worthy of being called Lingyue Mechanical Technique. I admire it!"

Zhang Sheng bowed to him without further explanation.

He walked over and swung the short stick, and the head instantly extended to become a gradually narrowing conical long stick, and the top touched the black stone under Zhou Yuliang's feet.

The mechanism suddenly released, giving Zhou Yuliang freedom, and the outcome was decided.

Watch upstairs.

Qingzhu excitedly tugged at Pei Nai's sleeve, "Miss, Lingyue's mechanical skills are so powerful. This small disc has so many uses. It can make people jump higher, lock weapons, and finally confuse other people's sight. It's too powerful."

Pei Nai snorted softly and blurted out, "It's just fancy talk."

Yixi burst out laughing, and even Ju Liancheng had a smile on his face.

"What are you laughing at? It's true. His father Zhang Licheng is much more reserved than him. He can basically defeat the enemy with just one move. Unlike him, he uses all kinds of moves as if he is afraid that others don't know how many treasures he has in his arms." Pei Nai curled his lips.

Yixi smiled and pushed Pei Nai's water cup in front of her. "It's as if you've met his father. Drink some water quickly. The game will start soon and you have to go down again."

“I” have actually seen it before, Pei Nai wanted to say, but stopped in time and waved his hand, “No more drinking, I’ll go downstairs and check the lottery situation first.”

Pei Nai stood up and walked downstairs, attracting countless people's attention along the way.

People looked at her with admiration, giving her the aura of a hero.

The so-called people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong.

Pei Nai had a blank expression on her face, but her heart was trembling. She thought panickedly: Is it true that she can no longer move in and out freely with Tang Mingzhi's body?
So, will the search for clues and the truth be restricted from today onwards?
With a hint of worry, she went down three floors and walked to the contestants' waiting area.

Many of the eliminated contestants had not yet left, with gloomy faces. When they saw her coming, they all showed miserable and depressed expressions.

"What's wrong?" Pei Nai asked puzzledly when he saw them looking at him like that.

One knight shook his head with regret, "The one Lady Tang faced in the fifth round was the Lingyue Mechanical Warlock, Zhang Sheng!"

Pei Nai was delighted, "Is it going so smoothly?"

Everyone was confused, "With the heroine's strength, she should have at least made it to the finals of the Dengyun Heroes Conference. Now she met Zhang Sheng and stopped in the fifth round. Isn't it a pity?"

"It's not a pity. Zhang Sheng and I will have a battle. I hope to experience the power of mechanical engineering sooner." Pei Nai said calmly.

Wei Kang suddenly stood up, brows furrowed with worry for Pei Nai.

"Ms. Tang, you must not be careless and underestimate the enemy. Zhang Sheng is the descendant of Lingyue's mechanical sorcerer. His strength is unfathomable, even far exceeding Xing Xiaoren. In the first four games, all of our opponents had their weapons taken away and were badly defeated."

Someone nearby responded, "Yes, the weapons have been taken away, how can we win?"

Pei Nai looked at Zhang Sheng who was not far away.

But she saw Zhang Sheng had just put the mechanism left on the fighting stage into his robe, and after listening to the report from his subordinates, he looked up at her.

Their eyes met, sparks flew. Then Zhang Sheng looked away and left with his men.

There were only three groups left in the fifth round, with a total of six people. She and Zhang Sheng were in the second group, sandwiched in the middle.

During the first game, Pei Nai sat aside to rest, looking down and thinking about what weapon he should take and what moves he should use.

Pei family gun? Pei Nai shook his head.

No, there are tens of thousands of spectators here. If she uses it, it will inevitably cause a sensation and her identity will be suspected.

The Palm of Ten Thousand Hate taught by Senior Nakagawa? She shook her head again.

No, she doesn't have the essence, it just has the form but no power.

Wanyue Blood Whip? Pei Nai shook his head again.

Even worse, she only knows a few moves of the Wanyue Blood Whip. If her flaws are exposed again, it will bring shame to the Han family.
"This Shao Liran is really capable. He is worthy of being the brave cavalry commander of the Pei family army." Someone nearby commented.

Three words fell into Pei Nai's ears, causing her heart to tremble: Pei's Army!
She was about to ask when Shao Liran's opponent was knocked to the ground, and the outcome was decided.

"Ms. Tang, come and pick a weapon. It's time to go on stage!" The deacon of the Heroes Conference shouted to her beside the weapon rack.

Pei Nai could only put aside what he was doing and walk over.

"Ms. Tang, I have prepared the stick, sword, and whip for you. Which one do you want to use?"

Seeing that she was hesitant, the deacon asked tentatively, "You're not going to change your weapon again, are you?"

These words made Pei Nai laugh. If the next person she was going to fight was not Zhang Sheng, she would really want to change her weapon to tease them.

She drew her sword, "This is it."

After all, this is the most stable weapon for her at the moment, and I hope there won't be any major mistakes.

She and Zhang Sheng went on stage one after another.

Pei Nai noticed that Zhang Sheng had just left and came back wearing a looser robe.

At this moment, he was dressed in black, like the return of the bright light to its source, mysterious and unpredictable.

Everyone knows that the weapons of Lingyue mechanical wizards are hidden in their wide sleeves. Now Zhang Sheng has directly changed into new robes. What does he want to do?
Pei Nai suddenly became suspicious.

Under the gazes of tens of thousands of people in the fighting arena, the two bowed to each other.

The next moment they raised their bodies, both sides attacked at the same time.

Pei Nai rushed forward quickly, raised his sword and slashed straight, almost hitting the iron rod that Zhang Sheng swung out from short to long.

The collision of metal and stone makes a clear and resounding sound!
Pei Nai put away his sword and turned around, using the momentum to make a horizontal slash.

Zhang Sheng took a side step and turned half his body, his clothes fluttering in the wind, and his robe swirled as he turned vigorously.

Three darts were thrown out and shot towards Pei Nai.

Pei Nai used his sword to block, and the darts hit the sword and fell to the ground one by one.

In the moment she was defending, Zhang Sheng had reached the edge of the fighting arena.

He aimed at a point close to the edge and inserted a short, dark pillar that was carved with relief patterns. The bottom of the pillar immediately grew tiny scales that had just appeared, which served as a base, firmly grasping the ground and standing on the fighting stage.

The column is engraved with patterns that are delicate and complex, with exquisite craftsmanship that makes it seem like something otherworldly.

Among the runes and exotic characters, there are vague carvings of gods and demons, which is chilling.
