Chapter 1529: Chapter 630: Five Techniques Gained from Watching the Battle

After the Nine Fires Combined Furnace, then reverting to his original dragon form and activating Dragon Fire Pressing Down, the energy consumption had reached an extremely high level. The Red Gold Dragon Scales were still brilliant, but Ning Zhuo noticed that the nine-colored flames at the edges of the scales were no longer as continuous as they were at first.

Yun Wuji silently lifted the damaged Hidden Cloud Sleeve.

Inside the sleeve, only the last wisp of cloud remained.

That wisp of cloud was extremely thin, almost scattered by the Jiaoyang.

He didn’t attack the Nine Fire Dragon Lord.

He simply released this wisp of cloud gently.

Cloud wrapping the sleeve.

The remnants of cloud, like a white ribbon, coiled towards the tail of the Nine Fire Dragon Lord’s massive dragon body.

The tail of the Nine Fire Dragon Lord swayed, easily shattering the white ribbon.

But this sway pulled on his already heavy dragon body. He had just missed an attack, and his Mana hadn’t fully rotated; at this moment, forcibly shattering the cloud belt made his dragon body sink slightly in the clear sky.

Yun Wuji stepped again on the Traceless Cloud Shoes beneath his feet.

He didn’t take the opportunity to launch a strong attack but continued to retreat, kept widening the distance, further forcing the Nine Fire Dragon Lord to pursue.

The Nine Fire Dragon Lord pursued for three breaths.

On the fourth breath, the nine fires on his body suddenly became chaotic.

The Nine Orifice Furnace Heart Pendant hanging beneath the dragon’s belly trembled violently. The Nine Fire Reincarnation finally showed evident stuttering due to consecutive failed strong attacks, exhaustion from transformation, and the empty fall of Dragon Fire Pressing Down.

The Red Gold Dragon Body paused in mid-air.

It wasn’t due to injury but because of excessive consumption.

Yun Wuji threw out the last piece of the tattered White Cloud Banner. The flag face turned into a thin white cloud in the air, blocking the front of the Nine Fire Dragon Lord. If the Nine Fire Dragon Lord were at his peak, a single breath could burn it away. But at this moment, just as he was about to breathe fire, his Dragon Breath was a half-beat late.

A half-beat later, the flame spurted out, and the white cloud had already dispersed.

Yun Wuji had regrouped on the other side.

The Nine Fire Dragon Lord pursued again, and just as his Dragon Claw stretched out, the claw shadow transformed by the Mystic Flame Dragon Claw Ring also dimmed for a moment.

His exhaustion could no longer be hidden.

"The tactics have succeeded!" Seeing this scene, You Yunshou finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In contrast, on the seats of Nanming Village, Chun Yangzi and others had very unpleasant expressions.

Shortly after, the sound of Jade Chime resonated.

The voice of the Steward of this Martial Arts Arena spread across the three seats.

The Nine Fire Dragon Lord had already retracted the nine fires, his massive dragon body forced back into human form, his breath plummeting to the bottom, eyes ablaze with fury but no longer able to sustain his offensive strength.

In contrast, Yun Wuji stood shakily in the distance.

The Hidden Cloud Sleeve destroyed, the White Cloud Banner folded, the Fog Heart Jade Pendant cracked, and even the Traceless Cloud Shoes had scorch marks. His gray Daoist robe was almost burned to rags, and the blood at the corner of his lips was not yet dry. Yet, he still stood there, with more energy remaining.

The outcome of this Martial Arts duel was already very clear.

A silence befell the seats of Nanming Village.

The Red Robe Guest looked displeased, snorting coldly.

Tu Yuanzi looked at the Nine Fire Dragon Lord, then at Yun Wuji, shocked by the result: The Nine Fire Dragon Lord was so strong, why did he lose!

The young Ning Zhuo lowered his lashes, contemplating the lingering residual flames and cloud marks on the battlefield, revisiting the entire battle in his mind.

The Nine Fire Dragon Lord, with the Fire Dragon Bloodline, a Nascent Soul Demon Cultivator, had an exceptionally robust physical foundation. Especially when he finally transformed into his original dragon form, that immense dragon body spanning the clear sky, that powerful presence with scales bearing the fire and dragon claws tearing through the void, even Ning Zhuo, watching protected behind the light barrier, felt his Heart Spirit tremble.

Ning Zhuo also acutely noticed: In this battle, the Nine Fire Dragon Lord didn’t fully play to the strengths of his demon cultivator physique.

"He specializes in Alchemy." Ning Zhuo mused inwardly, "His combat technique is not the slaughter of a demon dragon, but rather the fire control and furnace management of an Alchemist."

The essence of the Nine Fire Dragon Lord was completely exposed in Ning Zhuo’s mind!

"Yun Wuji’s victory lies in tactical choice, and even more in thorough execution."

From the moment the first wisp of Cloud Qi was released, Yun Wuji never greedily sought a brilliant stroke. He sought neither counter-kill nor severe wounding, nor a beautiful spectacle. He just paved the cloud, nurtured the cloud, hid the cloud, scattered the cloud, and returned the cloud, constantly rendering the Nine Fire Dragon Lord’s strength futile. Even when the Nine Fire Dragon Lord transformed into his original form, with Dragon Fire Pressing Down nearly burning through the entire Cloud Domain, Yun Wuji still used the last bit of cloud remnant to force the Nine Fire Dragon Lord to pursue a few breaths longer.

Ultimately, he exhausted the Nine Fire Dragon Lord.

"Yun Wuji couldn’t have held on with just his skills alone. He must have received significant backing."

"In this battle, many of his Magic Treasures were completely shattered, and the Treasure material consumed in the process was extremely precious. This victory was at a very high cost for Yun Wuji, no, for White Cloud Village."

"In truth, what Yun Wuji burned in this match was probably not just the essence of himself and White Cloud Village, but also many bargaining chips from covert trades."

Behind White Cloud Village and the Territorial Expansion Alliance, there are other forces from Flowing Cloud Peak. They will definitely step in, trying to block Nanming Village’s advance.

But their support is certainly not given freely.

After this battle ends, all three parties have serious expressions; though Nanming Village lost the first round, there are still four chances remaining.

Carrying a heart full of insights, Ning Zhuo returned to his Cave Mansion.

Inside the Three Lights Heavenly Dao Cave Mansion, Starlight, Moonlight, and Sun Halo, the three types of Spirit Light, interwovenly flow.

In the Cultivation Room, Ning Zhuo sat cross-legged on the Cushion, his expression calm, though a fiery Spirit Light constantly flashed in the depths of his eyes.

The Nine Fire Dragon Lord used battle as cultivation, using the enemy as material. Such a ’demonstration in person,’ which Ning Zhuo observed closely the whole time, gave him the most specific model to imitate.

Don’t forget, his Five Elements Realm is immensely profound!

Besides, Demon Soul Jia Luozhen’s lifelong alchemy experience, like a black library sinking in the depths of the Sea of Consciousness, was being unrolled volume by volume.

The calculations of Luoshu quietly unfolded, with trails of Spirit Light intersecting in his heart.

Moments later, Ning Zhuo wore a look of exhaustion, having consumed eighty percent of the Divine Sense and thoughts in his Divine Sea, acquiring three spells.
