As the red light completely enveloped the array disk, the puppets controlled by the two men were instantly freed from their restraints!

Li Guanqi’s next move baffled everyone.

His figure twisted and vanished from atop the array platform, reappearing on the Thousand Mechanism Disk below.

The black-armored puppet, meanwhile, materialized where Li Guanqi had just been standing.

Their positions had been swapped in an instant!

Zhou Zhi and the others couldn’t help but be startled; they could tell that the black soldier pill was no ordinary object.

Whether in offense or defense, its strength was likely on par with a Cultivator at the late Foundation Establishment stage.

Yet, at this moment, Li Guanqi chose to enter the fray himself!

“Junior Brother Li, what are you doing?!”

Even Zhou Zhi thought Li Guanqi had lost his mind, first destroying three stone statues and now entering the battlefield in person.

Li Guanqi moved his numb feet, which had been pierced through.

But he had controlled his bones to forcibly separate the moment he felt the pain, suffering only some superficial skin wounds.

Looking around, he realized just how massive these crossbow mechanisms were, and the silver armor in the distance towered over him by more than three heads.

Li Guanqi took a deep breath, looked up at Wei Kun, and licked his dry, cracked lips.

Boom!!!

Suddenly, the sound of thunder roared through the arena, followed by a blurry figure shooting forward at explosive speed!

Wei Kun had realized what was happening, but looking into Li Guanqi’s eyes, he felt an involuntary chill rise within him.

The life-fearing Wei Kun, without hesitation, slammed the jade token in his hand onto the array platform!

Boom!!

“Die!!!”

In an instant, four identical silver-armored puppets appeared in the arena.

Li Guanqi, instead of retreating, advanced, controlling the puppet on the array platform to slowly press down a jade token.

Rumble!!!

Six giant dragon sculptures suddenly appeared on the Thousand Mechanism Disk.

As a flash of red light passed through the dragon’s eyes, they abruptly spewed out crimson flames from their mouths!!

The six streams of fire covered thirty squares where the silver armor stood.

Wei Kun, now in a frenzy, arrogantly declared, “You think mere fire can burn through my secret silver soldier pill?!”

“Attack!!!”

Tap! Tap tap!

The sound of armor hitting the ground rang out as Li Guanqi, still swift, charged towards the stone statues!

Simultaneously, the black-armored puppet pressed down the last jade token.

Li Guanqi murmured softly, “Let’s see how you handle the dual extremes of ice and fire!”

The red glow in the eyes of the six stone dragons turned to an icy blue.

Then, water spouts suddenly erupted from the dragons’ mouths!

Within the flames, five figures slowly emerged, their bodies red-hot from the fire.

But then came the overwhelming spray of water.

Sizzle! Hiss!!

To the shock of all onlookers, the five silver-armored puppets were enveloped in a mist of water vapor.

Crack!

The sound of metal shattering suddenly filled the air.

Li Guanqi, swift as the wind, charged into the midst of the puppets.

In an instant, his Cang Lang Sword glinted coldly, slicing effortlessly into the puppets!

Sword light flashed, and the sound of booming echoed.

Puppet fragments flew everywhere, and Li Guanqi, seizing a puppet’s longsword, hurled it with force!!

“No!!!”

Thud!!

The longsword pierced through the chest of the black-clothed person.

His right hand wielding the Cang Lang Sword slashed horizontally in an instant!!!

However, as he spun around to leverage his momentum, a burly figure suddenly blocked his path!!

Clang!!!

Wei Kun could no longer hold back and made his way onto the Thousand Mechanism Disk.

The black-clothed people within the light screen were already in chaos, frantically attacking the array screen.

They knew that at this point, they would be the next to die!!

Their actions also stirred the emotions of the disciples of the Great Xia Sword Sect.

Everyone looked at Zhou Zhi, whose face was grim, and remained silent without any action.

The battle between Li Guanqi and Wei Kun had reached a fever pitch.

Both sides were down to their last stone statue, and their clashing swords sparked intensely.

Yet Wei Kun shouted without hesitation, “Add two more stone statues!!”

Swipe!

Two more black-clothed people were restrained next to the stone statues.

Li Guanqi sneered coldly, and while entangled in midair, he said softly, “You really are ruthless!”

Then, with a surge of Primordial Energy, his swordplay became even more fierce!!

His left-hand sword suddenly accelerated during a feint!!

Thrust!!

The longsword pierced the throat!!

But Wei Kun, as if unharmed, retreated and pulled out the sword.

Though the wound at his throat remained, not a drop of blood flowed.

Instead, one of the black-clothed people restrained behind him gushed blood from the throat!

Li Guanqi, retreating several meters, felt a sudden heaviness in his heart.

He hadn’t expected that on this Thousand Mechanism Disk, there would be such rules!!

Wei Kun tore off his black robe and wrapped the sword hilt tightly around his hand.

With a crazed look, he whispered, “You want to protect them all, don’t you?”

“Well, let’s see if you can save them in the end!!!”

After speaking, Wei Kun suddenly produced three blood-red pills and swallowed them down!!

Instantly, Wei Kun’s aura began to skyrocket, breaking through the late Foundation Establishment stage and reaching the Great Perfection in the blink of an eye!

And his aura continued to rise, just a hair’s breadth away from half-step Golden Elixir.

Wei Kun’s eyes, now bloodshot, surged with blood as his skin turned red.

“Ah!!!”

A piercing scream echoed through the skies, as if enduring endless agony.

He charged at Li Guanqi like a wild beast!!

Swipe swipe!!

Clang clang clang!!

Their swords moved so fast they blurred, and onlookers could only see sparks flying and a continuous clashing sound.

The two figures constantly shifted positions in the arena, and Li Guanqi felt an unprecedented pressure.

Wei Kun’s fighting style was clearly aimed at a life-for-life battle with Li Guanqi!

Li Guanqi could only dodge the sharp attacks, as his opponent’s sword speed was nearly identical to his own.

Moreover, after swallowing three Chi Xiao Pills, Wei Kun’s strength had terrifyingly increased.

The blood beads on Wei Kun’s body made it clear to Li Guanqi that he was also at his limit.

If he could just hold on, he would win!!

As Li Guanqi dodged and struck, he asked, “What exactly is beneath this Thousand Mechanism Disk that makes you so desperate?”

Wei Kun, now like a crazed demon beast, replied, “What is it? It’s a chance to change my fate!”

“If I can get the Heavenly Soul Thunder Root, I can replace my current mixed Spirit Root!!”

“So!! You all must die here!!!”

A chill ran through Li Guanqi’s heart; he hadn’t expected the other party to do so much just for a heavenly treasure to replace his Spirit Root.

As Li Guanqi fought and retreated, he quickly reached his own stone statue.

Seeing Li Guanqi’s hesitant swordplay, Zhou Zhi suddenly looked up!
