Chapter 101: Moonlight Wheel
The moment Zhuge Qing's Magic Treasure appeared, Zhang Nuo felt the Spiritual Qi around him disperse, and a mass of five-colored light hovered in the young girl's palm.
After the light faded, a crescent-shaped, bronze-colored wheel Magic Treasure appeared in the young girl's hand. This Magic Treasure was no more than half a foot in size, like a curved crescent moon. On the body of the Magic Treasure, many archaic patterns were engraved; judging by the appearance of the patterns, there should be some hidden mystery to them, and they were not carved merely for aesthetics.
Sensing the power emanating from the crescent-shaped Magic Treasure, Zhang Nuo could conclude that this was definitely no ordinary object!
At the same time Zhuge Qing revealed her Magic Treasure, Yu Lei and Chu Budong also brought out their respective Magic Treasures. The one Yu Lei used was a red Flying Sword, the sword body an inch in size, wrapped within a mass of blood-colored light; it looked quite formidable. As for Chu Budong's Magic Treasure, it actually surprised Zhang Nuo a little!
It was actually a massive golden heavy hammer, the hammer head a full half-zhang in size, in the shape of an eight-faceted golden melon, with a handle over a zhang long. Looking at the way Chu Budong held this hammer, it was very strenuous.
After the three of them revealed their Magic Treasures, their gazes all turned toward Zhang Nuo. In the previous few exchanges, no one had seen him use the Sword Box Magic Treasure. Now that the situation was critical, they guessed Zhang Nuo would surely reveal the Magic Treasure inside the Sword Box. But to the surprise of the three, Zhang Nuo did not even bring out the Wu Hook this time.
He merely pinched a Dharma seal slightly in his hand, assuming a fighting stance. Just as Chu Budong was about to ask, the two-headed demon snake opposite them suddenly let out a sharp cry. The black snake head opened its mouth wide, and a beam of light as black as ink shot out.
"Damn snake demon! Taste the might of your Grandpa Chu's big hammer!"
Seeing the black beam of light attacking, Chu Budong no longer had the heart to ask Zhang Nuo. The breath he had been holding for so long finally found an outlet. With a loud shout, he swung the handle of the heavy hammer with a single arm.
With a "whoosh" of wind, the big hammer smashed toward the black beam of light like a golden meteor! With a thunderous boom, the space within the Xiao Liu Paths Sumeru Great Array trembled, and the heavy hammer actually dispersed the black beam of light in one strike.
"Well hit!"
The heavy hammer dispersing the black beam of light boosted the morale of the four. Yu Lei let out a loud roar, and at the same time, spat a mouthful of essence blood onto the Blood-colored Small Sword before him. Immediately, the small sword let out a light chime, spun around in the blood-colored mist, turned into a red streak of light, and slashed at the black snake head.
Just as Yu Lei launched his attack, the four people quickly scattered, standing in different positions. Zhuge Qing moved her Divine Sense, and the crescent-shaped Magic Treasure that had been resting on her palm also attacked the black snake head.
"Awoo!"
Seeing two Magic Treasures attacking at the same time, the black snake head let out a sharp cry. Its massive snake tail lashed out, and with two "bangs," it knocked Yu Lei's Blood-colored Small Sword and Zhuge Qing's Moonlight Wheel flying.
The two gently guided their Divine Sense to let the uncontrolled Magic Treasures fly back to their sides. Before the two-headed snake could make its next attack, Chu Budong let out a loud shout. Unbeknownst to them, his Golden Heavy Hammer was now hovering above the two-headed snake's body.
After the word "Fall" left his lips, the heavy hammer grew more than double in size, and accompanied by a gust of wind, it smashed toward the snake demon below.
The power of this strike was such that even though the two-headed snake was confident in its cultivation, it dared not take it head-on with its body. Its massive snake torso moved, and it dodged to the side in a strange manner.
With a "rumble," the heavy hammer smashed into the open ground. Because they were within the Xiao Liu Paths Sumeru Array, no damage could be seen on the ground. However, the ripples like water waves emerging from the surface were enough to prove what kind of force that strike had possessed.
A murderous glint flashed through all four snake eyes simultaneously, locking onto Chu Budong as the target for certain death. Since the start of the battle, this was the first time the demon snake had felt danger.
As the giant snake's tail whipped around rapidly, it actually entangled the Magic Treasure that Chu Budong had not yet had time to retract. No matter how Chu Budong activated his Divine Sense, he could not recall the heavy hammer.
For a moment, cold sweat streamed down his forehead. This heavy hammer was his only Magic Treasure; if it were trapped like this by the two-headed snake, he would effectively lose his ability to fight.
Seeing all this, Zhang Nuo frowned deeply. Judging from the previous attack, this big hammer of Chu Budong's possessed absolute power. If it were trapped, it would be no small loss for the four of them.
Immediately, with a movement of his Divine Sense, four Flying Swords shot out from the Nine Dragon Sword Case. Wrapped in white spiritual light, the Flying Swords flashed and vanished, slashing toward the white snake head.
However, a scene that shocked everyone appeared. Facing the attack of Zhang Nuo's four Flying Swords, the white snake head did not even move. Its pair of snake eyes remained tightly shut, letting the Flying Swords strike its head.
After four soft sounds, the Flying Swords slashed onto the white snake head, but in an instant, they were knocked away by the faint white light radiating from the snake head.
Startled, Zhang Nuo hurriedly guided the Flying Swords back to his side, his eyes filled with astonishment as he looked at the white snake head!
He had not expected the white snake head to be so tough that even the Flying Swords could not harm it in the slightest! Others might not know the sharpness of these Flying Swords, but Zhang Nuo was incomparably clear about it in his heart!
At this time, the other three also saw this scene and could not help but gasp. The white snake head had not launched a single attack, and they had not expected it to have such defensive power. If the black snake head also possessed such defensive power, their mission to slay the snake this time would be a complete failure!
Zhuge Qing's delicate brows lifted slightly. To verify her thoughts, she let out a soft call:
"Moonlight Wheel! Go!"
Following this call, the bronze-colored crescent moon, its spiritual light flowing slightly, moved with a "swish" and slashed toward the black snake head! The moment the Moonlight Wheel slashed down, the five-colored spiritual light on the edge of the wheel gathered crazily, as if it were a massive axe blade.
Sensing the power of the Magic Treasure above its head, the black snake head was slightly startled and plunged downward violently. At this moment, the white snake head rushed up to meet the Moonlight Wheel's attack, and at the same time, a layer of faint white light appeared on the surface of the white snake head.
After a thunderous "boom," even with the power of the Moonlight Wheel's strike, it was still unable to harm the white snake head. This time, all four of them were stunned!
If one could say that Zhang Nuo's Flying Sword attack earlier lacked sufficient force, which was why it failed to harm the white snake head, then this strike from the Moonlight Wheel was earth-shattering, yet it still could not harm it in the slightest. It was evident that the defense of the white snake head had reached an unimaginable level.
No wonder the four Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivators of the Nanxuan Sect had no way to deal with it back then. Now it seemed that even for a Golden Core cultivator, it would take some effort to slay the two-headed snake.
