Preparations for the Final Battle

Seeing Lu Yuling enter the main tent, the three Hall Master didn't waste time beating around the bush. Hall Master Xiao Xiao spoke first, saying to Lu Yuling, "Today's battle marks the first defeat for our Asura Sect. Although victory and defeat are common occurrences on the Battlefield, we must still learn from our mistakes. Lu Yuling, tell me, what are the reasons for our Asura Sect's defeat on the Battlefield today?"

Lu Yuling, her expression still cold and indifferent, spoke calmly, her Distant Resonance voice pleasant to the ear. "Ultimately, it's because our high-end combat force suffered too many losses due to the influence of that Qi Breaking Blade, and Zhuge Xiang was also trapped by the enemy's three Limit Experts with their Formation, making it difficult to inflict effective damage or deterrence on the enemy."

"That's right." Lu Yuling knew this was an obvious question, and everyone else knew it too. As Lu Yuling answered, Xiao Xiao nodded and continued, "But what are your thoughts on the current situation and how to break the deadlock?"

Upon hearing this question, Lu Yuling hesitated for a moment, while Zhuge Xiang sat beside her, curiously watching Lu Yuling. With Lu Yuling's knowledge, she should have a solution, so why would Xiao Xiao summon her and even ask for her opinion? This puzzled Zhuge Xiang. Could it be that Lu Yuling's secret of the Senior Sister Ice Maiden's Three-Soul Reincarnation was known to someone else?

Indeed, it wasn't just Zhuge Xiang who harbored such suspicions; even Lu Yuling herself was secretly puzzled, wondering why Hall Master Xiao Xiao would specifically seek her out to ask for her opinion. Lu Yuling possessed a vast knowledge of Formation; she even had a way to break the Three Talents Formation. But would revealing it have any uncontrollable consequences?

The three Hall Master also looked at Lu Yuling, but after waiting for a moment without receiving a reply, Luo Wuxue Lu Yuling the silence and said bluntly, "Alright, let's get straight to the point. According to Hall Master Xiao Xiao, you created a powerful Mechanical Puppet today, which even has the ability to fly?"

"Not bad," Lu Yuling nodded casually, her expression unchanged.

"Regarding the enemy's Formation, we've studied it and confirmed it's the Tiandao Sect's Three Talents Formation. This Formation primarily focuses on trapping, emphasizing the use of three individuals of similar cultivation levels to confine a powerful opponent. However, while this Formation is difficult to break from the inside, it's relatively easy to break from the outside."

At this point, Luo Wuxue paused slightly, then continued, "The way to break the Three Talents Formation is for three powerful individuals to join forces and attack from the outside. Although your own cultivation has only just reached the Return to Simplicity Realm, your Mechanical Puppet are quite powerful."

"The Zhang Kuang of the Blood Hall, and the Battle Hall's Jing Wuming is here to meet the three Hall Masters!" At that moment, two voices rang out in unison outside the main tent.

Luo Wuxue had already said all that, so Zhuge Xiang and Lu Yuling naturally understood the three Hall Master's intentions. They originally wanted to select three powerful disciples to help Zhuge Xiang break the Three Talents Formation.

"Disciple understands. For the sake of my Asura Sect, I will do my utmost," Lu Yuling replied, nodding without changing her expression, secretly relieved.

Seeing that Lu Yuling had agreed, the three Hall Master nodded in satisfaction and then told Zhang Kuang and Jing Wuming to enter.

Zhang Kuang to say, he is an arrogant genius, a combat-type talent. His cultivation has reached the Tenth Layer of the Innate Realm, just one step away from entering the Return to Simplicity Realm.

He had not only grasped the Spear Intent but also a portion of the Asura True Body. In addition, Luo Wuxue had personally taught him the Asura Destruction Spear Art. With one of the three masters on the list, if Zhuge Xiang hadn't been so dazzling, all the glory on the Battlefield would have fallen on Zhang Kuang's head. With his Innate Realm cultivation, he possessed strength no less than that of someone on the Dragon Phoenix Ranking.

The last one, Jing Wuming, caught Zhuge Xiang's attention. A disciple of the Battle Hall? This was the first time Zhuge Xiang had seen Jing Wuming. However, looking at Jing Wuming, Zhuge Xiang could sense the threat emanating from him. His intuition told him that this was a master, and even stronger than Zhang Kuang Zhuge Xiang.

Jing Wuming was tall and upright, and looked to be around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. His physique was not particularly robust, but it was not thin either. He wore a tight-fitting outfit, and his well-proportioned muscles gave him a sense of explosive power. On his back, he carried a huge Heavy Sword diagonally. His hands were broad and thick, and when he stood, he was as imposing as a high mountain.

Sensing Zhuge Xiang's scrutiny, Jing Wuming turned around, his gaze also falling on Zhuge Xiang. His eyes made no attempt to conceal his fighting spirit, and his deep voice rang out. "Zhuge Xiang? I've heard of your name before. I'm glad that our Sect has produced such a genius. After this war is over, I will definitely fight you three hundred rounds."

"Three hundred rounds?" Hearing Jing Wuming's words and sensing the opponent's intense fighting spirit, Zhuge Xiang was also very happy. He revealed a confident smile and said, "In the five years since I started cultivating, no one has ever been able to last three hundred rounds against me. Even Deity Transformation Stage Cultivator can't do it, and naturally, neither can you."

"Haha, good, I like your confidence," Jing Wuming laughed, not angry but pleased, in response to Zhuge Xiang's arrogant words.

"Alright, you may all step back for now. Remember to practice together more and shatter their Three Talents Formation." After Zhuge Xiang and the others finished their casual conversation, Luo Wuxue repeated what he had just said to Lu Yuling, then waved for everyone to leave, but kept Zhuge Xiang behind.

"Three Hall Master, is there anything else you need?" Zhuge Xiang asked the three Hall Master after Lu Yuling and the other two had left.

"The time for the final battle has come," Luo Wuxue said, looking at Zhuge Xiang, uttering a statement that surprised Zhuge Xiang.

On the Ancient Qin Battlefield, after more than half a month of Battlefield, Zhuge Xiang had gained countless experiences and wished he could continue fighting forever. However, Luo Wuxue said that the time for the final battle had come?

For the past two weeks, both sides have fought several rounds, all of which were probing attacks to gauge each other's strengths and weaknesses. So why does Luo Wuxue feel that the time for the final decisive battle has arrived?

Clearly understanding Zhuge Xiang's doubts, Luo Wuxue spoke up, explaining to Zhuge Xiang, "Indeed, the various forces in Yanling Commandery have united to oppose my Asura Sect. Their strength is indeed quite impressive, and recently, with the help of the Mechanism Gate and the Five Poisons Sect, they are even more formidable. However, what is our Asura Sect? We are one of the Nine Great Sects of the Great Qin Empire."

At this point, Luo Wuxue's face was filled with arrogance as he continued, "This time, since these Small and Medium-Sized Sects dared to openly unite against us, we naturally have to suppress them severely. Our goal in this battle is not simply to defeat them, but to leave no one alive and annihilate their entire army."

"Hiss..." Even Zhuge Xiang was secretly startled upon hearing Luo Wuxue's words, and gasped.

Judging from the current situation, even if the Alliance's strength is inferior to that of the Asura Sect, the difference is only slight. However, Luo Wuxue boldly declared that he would annihilate the enemy. Zhuge Xiang had never thought of such a grand goal.

Admittedly, Luo Wuxue's words made sense. Large Sect should have the dignity of the Large Sect. Since the other party dared to challenge the authority of the Asura Sect, they should be suppressed severely with bloody means. The Cultivation World is not a place where reason prevails.

The thought of wiping out everyone in the area filled Zhuge Xiang with excitement. He stared at Luo Wuxue and asked, "With our current strength, annihilating them is nothing short of a pipe dream. Do you, Hall Master, have any good strategies?"

In response to Zhuge Xiang's question, Luo Wuxue simply smiled meaningfully and remained silent. Man Kui, standing beside him, reached out and pulled a brocade box from Void, opening it in front of Zhuge Xiang. Upon seeing the contents, Zhuge Xiang's breath hitched slightly.

Inside the brocade box were not rare and precious Pill, nor powerful magical Treasure Artifact, nor profound Secret Manual, but nine Puppet Doll. Zhuge Xiang might not have recognized these Puppet Doll before, but after his battle with Liu Wuming at the Inner Sect Headquarters Zhuge Xiang, how could he not recognize them? These were nine Mirror Puppet.

"Zhuge Xiang, your strength is enough to kill any of the opponent's Limit Expert. With the help of nine Puppet, who can stop you on the Battlefield?" Man Kui asked, taking out nine Mirror Puppet and pushing them in front of Zhuge Xiang.

"Although the main forces of both sides will be on Warships during the final battle, not all Cultivator will fight on Warships. Your mission is simple: to annihilate all the Limit Expert on the ground. Any objections?"

"No!" With nine of his own Mirror Puppet helping him, Zhuge Xiang was naturally full of confidence and nodded in agreement.

"Also, don't forget that Shellback Centipede. Use the Soul-Destroying Powder to strike it, and it will lose its mind and become unable to distinguish friend Shellback Centipede foe," Xiao Xiao said to Zhuge Xiang, while taking out a Xiao Xiao Porcelain Bottle.

After more than half a month of probing attacks, the Asura Sect had gained a certain understanding of the Alliance and wanted to launch a surprise attack without warning to directly initiate the final battle, taking a risky move.

Seemingly sensing something unusual, the Alliance also tried to restrain the friction between the two sides. They waited for five whole days, and there was truly no fighting at all. The entire Ancient Qin Battlefield was eerily quiet, and this quiet made everyone sense the calm before the storm.

"The final battle?" When Zhuge Xiang spread the news and notified the Squad Leader of the Squad Twenty-Nine, Squad Leader were all surprised. They obviously did not expect the Asura Sect to suddenly want to launch the final battle.

"Hehe, even we ourselves didn't expect this, it was so sudden, the Alliance was naturally even more caught off guard," Mo Wuyan from Squad Twenty-Nine laughed upon hearing Zhuge Xiang's words.

Since the Sect dared to launch a decisive battle, they must have a certain degree of confidence. Our side is confident and prepared, while the enemy finds it unexpected—this is a huge advantage. (To be continued...)

P. S.: The factory officially started production yesterday, I was incredibly busy. Even worse, the oven malfunctioned in the evening. Everything else seemed normal, but the oven temperature just wouldn't go up. I was busy until after 8 pm and still couldn't fix it. Then I hurriedly ate dinner and drove my partner to a big hospital for a fever. We waited in line, had tests, and got an IV drip. By the time we got back, it was already past 1 am. I'm adding another chapter to make up for yesterday's missed update, plus the current wireless and main site recommendations. That makes a total of four chapters today. This is the first one. There are three more chapters to go today. Please subscribe and vote with your monthly tickets...
