This is a cultivation game, but the operation is bad

Chapter 276 Players from Zone 3, Step onto the Stage!
The South Heavenly Gate (replica, incomplete, scrapped) is an incredibly powerful high-grade spiritual artifact. If it were missing even one suffix, it would definitely be a Dao artifact.

It's awesome, but it's also a money-devouring monster.

Most items are powered by spiritual energy, but this one is different; it's powered by spirit stones.

For 100,000 spirit stones, you can summon one projection of a celestial soldier or general. You can summon up to 200 projections, which will last for 2 hours.

Two hours, 100,000 spirit stones—that's the hiring price for an NPC at the Nascent Soul Great Perfection stage.

Nangong Wentian went to great lengths to protect the employment contract, summoning 100 heavenly soldiers and generals in one fell swoop, and 1000 million spirit stones disappeared instantly.

If these 1000 million spirit stones can keep his employment contract, then it's a huge win.

The problem is that these heavenly soldiers and generals only existed for two hours.

Two hours later, the situation will become critical again.

Unless he keeps summoning heavenly soldiers and generals until the battle ends, but that would be very expensive.

However, the 1000 million spirit stones weren't wasted; at least they forced Ye Longying and General Yang to back down.

"They're going to take action!"

When Jiang Liu saw two figures slowly emerge from the warship, his heart tightened, and he subconsciously shrank back, trying to hide himself further.

At the same time, he shifted his gaze to the fluorescent jade door that was hundreds of meters long, a glint of greed flashing in his eyes.

If only the South Heavenly Gate belonged to him!
He realized that the South Heavenly Gate was equipped with spirit stone-powered equipment, which was perfect for him!
He has nothing else but money!

If it were possible to summon NPCs at the Nascent Soul stage by spending money, he would summon as many as he could!

"Summoning only 100? Even Sect Master Nangong can't do that!"

Jiang Liu muttered sourly, "If it were me, I'd give you 1000 without saying a word!"
General Ye Longying Yang Yang, aren't you supposed to have high combat power? First, withstand the attack of 1000 Nascent Soul Grand Perfection Heavenly Soldiers!
1000 isn't enough, then bring another 1000, until they're surrounded and killed!

Well, that is, the hiring fee can also be reduced by 0.1%.

"Finally decided to spend money?"

Seeing Ye Longying and General Yang disembark from the warship, Nangong Wentian's expression changed slightly, and a cold smile appeared on his face, showing his extreme dissatisfaction with the arrogance of the two.

How dare you think I, the third-ranked player on the overall leaderboard, am unworthy to be your enemy?

That's too arrogant and overbearing!

Today I'm going to see if your first and second place rankings are truly deserved!
While Nangong Wentian was furious, he also became extremely cautious and immediately took out a recovery medicine from his backpack and swallowed it.

He ate rotten peach pits and diluted peach juice!

Instantly restores 50% HP/MP!

After eating two sets, I was back to peak condition!
"The Great Star Formation of Subduing Heaven!"

The grand formation has been activated once again!
"Heavenly soldiers and generals! Suppress them!"

He raised his hand and pointed at Ye Longying and General Yang, shouting angrily.

I have the Heavenly Star Array, I have heavenly soldiers and generals, and I have money!
I refuse to believe I can't beat you!

One hundred Nascent Soul Grand Perfection Heavenly Soldiers and Generals dispersed, riding the clouds and mist, half rushing towards Ye Longying and half towards General Yang!
"Big sister, let's hold off these NPCs!"

Seeing the 50 heavenly soldiers and generals charging towards him menacingly, the Northern Darkness Demon God instinctively flashed and stood in front of Ye Longying.

The other top players in Taiye City faced the same fate, encountering celestial soldiers and generals coming head-on.

However, before they could crash into it, a very calm voice came from behind them.

"Back off."

Ye Longying stepped through the air, her figure as swift as the wind. In a flash, she turned her unwavering gaze to the group of heavenly soldiers and generals, a hint of disdain in her crystal-clear eyes.

Heavenly soldiers and generals?

They're just puppets!

It's not worth her personal intervention!
With just one glance, she shifted her gaze to the white jade South Heavenly Gate, standing ten thousand meters in the sky, exuding endless majesty.

"Sooner or later, I will try to break into the real Southern Heavenly Gate."

Ye Longying narrowed her eyes and murmured to herself. The thought of storming the Southern Heavenly Gate made her heart race, but she quickly calmed down.

"But now, it's not the right time."

She squinted, her black gem-like eyes fixed on the South Heaven Gate, her Black Dragon Crescent Blade spinning three times in mid-air before suddenly slashing out!

"Black Dragon Sky-Shattering Slash!"

He unleashed a powerful move right from the start!

A proud yet icy dragon roar resounded throughout the heavens and earth. The black dragon phantom, brimming with bloodthirsty killing intent, pierced the sky. Its vast divine might shook the surrounding area for hundreds of miles, as if even the Futian Star Array hanging high in the sky paled in comparison!
The Black Dragon Sky-Shattering Slash, once unleashed, shook heaven and earth!

Its target is not heavenly soldiers and generals, nor is it Nangong Wentian.

It's the South Heavenly Gate!
Seeing the black dragon's afterimage, powerful enough to suppress the heavens and earth, rushing towards the South Heavenly Gate with lightning speed, Nangong Wentian's expression changed drastically, and he roared, "Ye Longying, how dare you! You actually dare to attack the South Heavenly Gate!"

This is the South Heavenly Gate, one of the most important places in Heaven! It's practically the face of Heaven!

Although it's just a broken and dilapidated replica, it's still the South Heavenly Gate!

Ye Longying's strike wasn't aimed at the Southern Heavenly Gate, but rather at slapping the Heavenly Court in the face!

Isn't she afraid of being punished by the Heavenly Court after her ascension, or being given a hard time?

The target of this strike took everyone by surprise, but for some reason, they only paused for a second before coming to their senses, as if they had thought of something and were no longer surprised.

"I, a player of the Demonic Path, neither enter the Immortal Realm nor the Heavenly Court, so why would I be afraid of you!"

Hearing Nangong Wentian's roar, Ye Longying couldn't help but smile contemptuously. Ordinary players might not know, but surely she, a super VIP, knew?
Players of the Demonic Path cannot ascend to the Immortal Realm or join the Heavenly Court!

However, they had other options!
To find another way out, she needed contracts with heavenly soldiers and generals, and the more the better, since she had many underlings.

With a single slash, Nangong Wentian tried to block the blow for Nantianmen, but it was too late. He could only watch helplessly as the black dragon crashed into Nantianmen, his face full of worry.

boom!
A deafening roar, like thunder, shook the entire world, as if the whole map trembled. Space fluctuated violently, creating huge ripples like a boulder falling into a mirror-like lake.

The world changes color!

The South Heavenly Gate, standing high in the sky, was struck head-on by Ye Longying's attack and suddenly trembled violently, emitting a buzzing sound. It continued to tremble, giving people the illusion that it might collapse at any moment.

But it held up!
Under Nangong Wentian's tense gaze, the South Heavenly Gate slowly stopped trembling and stood there as if nothing had happened.

However, some sharp-eyed players noticed several tiny cracks on the crossbeam of the South Heavenly Gate!
Ye Longying's attack was so powerful that it actually destroyed a high-grade spiritual weapon!
The player's face was filled with shock, and I couldn't help but feel a chill run down my spine, wondering how much attack power it would take to accomplish such an outrageous feat!
It can already damage a high-grade spiritual weapon. If it gets any stronger, wouldn't it be able to shatter a high-grade spiritual weapon with a single strike?
Imagine the frustration of having your hard-earned top-grade spiritual weapon shattered in a single strike.

While the other players looked shocked, Ye Longying remained calm, even a little disappointed.

Although she never thought she could shatter the Southern Heavenly Gate with a single strike, she also didn't expect the damage to be so minimal.

Is this South Heavenly Gate too hard?

Ye Longying sighed inwardly. Since she couldn't break through the South Heavenly Gate in a short time, she had no choice but to give up.

She turned her head and glanced at General Yang's side, only to see that more than a dozen of his heavenly soldiers and generals were gone. In just a few seconds, he had taken away more than a million spirit stones from Nangong Wentian; this old man was truly something else.

General Yang can be said to be the strongest body cultivator in the cultivation era. Every punch and kick contains immense power, and he can easily shatter mountains and split seas.

As the 50 heavenly soldiers and generals arrived on clouds, he had already moved, tearing off his clothes to reveal a lean and powerful upper body resembling that of a bodybuilding coach.

Looking at his body, you would never guess that he is over eighty years old.

next second.

His body shimmered with dazzling light, its speed comparable to lightning.

"Crimson Tiger Fiery Body!"

"Supreme Yang Flame Body!"

A body tempered and refined through countless trials!

"The blood body of the divine ape!"

"Dragon Overlord Body Technique!"

"The Three Spirits Appear in the Body of the Venerable One!"

"Returning to the Origin Physical Body Technique!"

"Five Elements Spiritual Body!"

Swish, swish, swish!
More than a dozen beams of light emanated from his body, each beam representing a high-grade spiritual-level body cultivation skill!
This is the foundation of a nation's power!

While other players were still struggling to find high-grade spiritual techniques, General Yang already possessed more than a dozen high-grade spiritual techniques, including body cultivation skills!

Covered in more than a dozen high-grade spiritual techniques, General Yang's body shone like a neon light, and the space beneath his feet trembled slightly when he took a step.

Facing the heavenly soldiers and generals charging in formation, he remained unmoved, throwing a straight punch!
It wasn't a skill; it was just an ordinary punch.

But this punch was as heavy as a million pounds!

One punch, and the sky and earth shattered!

The power of his fist instantly shattered the formation of the heavenly soldiers and generals. The dozen or so heavenly soldiers and generals in front of the formation were sent flying as if they had been hit by a giant mountain, scattered in all directions.

The one who took a direct hit from General Yang's punch had his body shattered and was sent back to Heaven.

It's like beating up kids, one punch and they're all dead!
These mass-produced heavenly soldiers and generals are as fragile as paper in front of General Yang!
The others from the Taiyao tribe were dumbfounded by what they saw. They had been wondering whether they should offer to help, but now it seemed they were completely unnecessary.

The players watching from the outer edge of the battlefield were dumbfounded, thinking, "These are summoned creatures of Nascent Soul cultivators at the Great Perfection stage. Are they really going to be one-punch kills?"

Jiang Liu felt a chill run down his spine upon seeing this. He subconsciously glanced at the buff bar in the upper right corner, and only after seeing the long bar of resource attributes did he feel a little more at ease.

I spent 4 million spirit stones to buy resources, and I monopolized several large resource points. I am very strong now!
4 million spirit stones is not a high requirement; it's enough to tie with the first and second place teams in the competition.

As for what happens after the battle, we'll see how generous his Nascent Soul breakthrough benefits are.

In just a few seconds, Jiang Liu was able to assess the combat strength of Ye Longying and General Yang. Although he was a little unsure, he did not believe that he was much weaker than the two of them.

At the very least, he could kill someone at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage with a single sword strike.

However, he also knew that although the attribute values ​​were greatly compensated by 4 million spirit stones, the underlying foundation was still vastly different.

If you want to fight these two head-on, you must force them to reveal their true strength.

And this person was none other than Nangong Wentian!

Keep it up, big brother holding the South Heavenly Gate!
The longer Nangong Wentian fights, the more advantageous it will be for him!
Jiang Liu couldn't help but cheer for Nangong Wentian in his heart.

Use your own resources to help me overcome the combined resources of Ye Longying and General Yang. Thank you, my good brother!
General Yang killed one heavenly soldier with a single punch, and Ye Longying killed one heavenly soldier with a single slash, making Nangong Wentian's face turn green.

This is a summon worth 10 spirit stones! It died way too quickly. At that speed, it didn't even buy any time!
How to do?
Continue summoning?

It would take hundreds of millions of spirit stones to kill those two killing gods!

No, we have to come up with a new idea, otherwise all our previous efforts will be in vain!
Nangong Wentian's face was grim, and he was sweating profusely, but no matter how hard he racked his brains, he couldn't come up with a solution.

Enemy side: The first and second ranked in the overall combat power rankings, and the top 20 in sixteen other overall rankings.

Our side: Ranked third in overall combat power, with one team in the top twenty.

Only then did he realize how he could possibly fight against the two strongest forces in the Heavenly Dynasty alone!
I'm not the main character; I just want a letter of employment!

Nangong Wentian roared inwardly, his gaze sweeping over the players watching in the distance, sweat beading on his forehead in anxiety.

Do you have any help?
Do you have any teammates?
Help me, bro!

Jiang Liu: Schrödinger's good brother, just hold on for another twenty-odd hours, and I'll definitely come out to help you in the last 15 minutes!

When Nangong Wentian's pleading eyes swept over the onlookers, they instinctively looked away.

What a joke.

Those are the number one forces of the righteous path and the number one forces of the demonic path. Who would dare to help you? Would they be risking their lives?

Someone dares to help!

"Sect Leader Nangong, I'm here to help you!"

Just then, a loud roar resounded throughout the heavens and earth!
Although the voice was rough and a little hoarse, it sounded as melodious as a clear spring to Nangong Wentian.

who is it?

Which Liangshan hero is so brave and valiant?
While overjoyed, Nangong Wentian was also quite surprised, thinking that someone was actually willing to be his teammate.

Not only was he surprised, but even the onlookers and the top players of Taiyao Division's Taiye City were extremely surprised and turned their heads to look.

"Step aside!"

next second.

Before everyone's eyes, a silver-class dragon boat made a stunning appearance, accompanied by seven ordinary-class dragon boats!

Shocking, absolutely shocking!

Everyone was stunned, staring blankly as the silver dragon boat, only a thousand meters long, and the ordinary dragon boat, five hundred meters long, sailed into the battlefield, their faces filled with disbelief.

What the heck is this?!
One Nascent Soul stage cultivator and seven Golden Core stage late-stage Great Perfection cultivators, and they all said they wanted to help Nangong Wentian attack Taiyao Tribe's Taiye City?

Are you trying to attract attention?

The Poison King stood tall and imposing on the top of the dragon boat, like a rooster, head held high and chest out, as if he were reviewing a military parade, as he slowly drove into the middle of the battlefield.

Behind him, the seven sect leaders lowered their heads, their faces flushed with embarrassment, and remained silent like little chicks.

"The Poison King, the number one power in the Third District, greets Sect Master Nangong!"

The Poison King drove his silver-level vehicle into the center of the battlefield, cupped his hands in a gesture of respect to the bewildered Nangong Wentian, and said arrogantly, "No one can take your employment letter away from me, I said it!"

On the fifth day of the battle, players from Zone 3 took to the stage!
