Chapter 183: The Kill-Break-Wolf Gathers
This was the first time since Zhang Nuo, Han Liang, and Gu Yu had known each other that they stood on the same front line; the three of them unleashed almost all their Magic Treasures, causing every one of those Demon Sect cultivators to reveal looks of shock.
Beneath a blood-red sky, the three stood side by side, breathing in the air thick with the scent of blood, their faces all revealing sharp killing intent!
"I've got twelve!"
Han Liang was the first to report the number of Demon Sect cultivators he had killed, his gaze sweeping over to land on Gu Yu.
"Thirteen!"
A cold sneer appeared in his small eyes; Gu Yu had killed exactly one more than him. With his Blood Corpse, it was equivalent to the two of them attacking simultaneously.
"Ten!"
Zhang Nuo did not hide it and frankly stated the true number. At this moment, a look of disdain appeared on the face beneath Gu Yu's black robe! However, this expression did not linger on his face for long.
Zhang Nuo's Divine Sense stirred, and a full twenty Flying Swords flew out from the Nine Dragon Sword Case. Simultaneously, he suddenly flipped one hand, and a mass of crimson flame floated in his palm. With a gentle flick, he coated all twenty Flying Swords before him with the Red Glow Fire.
With a low shout, Zhang Nuo's twenty Flying Swords charged outward. Several screams rang out; some Demon Sect cultivators had their skin grazed by the Flying Swords, and immediately the Red Glow Fire entered their bodies, burning them into ashes in the blink of an eye!
"Seventeen!"
Zhang Nuo's attack just now had instantly killed seven Demon Sect cultivators. Han Liang and Gu Yu exchanged a glance, both revealing looks of astonishment.
"Red Glow Fire!"
Looking at the crimson flame coating the Flying Swords, Gu Yu recognized this fire at a glance, and the horror in his heart was indescribable. Back then, Tie Lin's pair of corpses were famous because of this fire; he never expected that Zhang Nuo would have refined this fire into his body while still in the Foundation Establishment Stage.
"Haha! Good technique, Brother Zhang!"
Han Liang let out a long roar toward the sky, looking at Zhang Nuo as if he were a monster.
At this time, in the distant sky, Zhuge An and Wang Ji both retreated several yards. Their Magic Treasures separated upon contact, and amidst the splashing sparks, Spiritual Qi and Demonic Qi intertwined and tangled, disappearing in a flash.
Sensing what was happening on Zhang Nuo's side with his Divine Sense, Zhuge An stole a glance and saw that the three's slaughter had dyed that part of the sky red, with one Demon Sect cultivator after another being killed by them!
"Kill-Break-Wolf!"
This term was like a sun, making Zhuge An's heart suddenly brighten. It was truly a terrifying thing for these three cultivators with special destinies to gather together. In just a short moment, surging killing intent was revealed from all three of them.
It seemed that what Nanxuan Laozu said back then was not wrong! Once the Kill-Break-Wolf gathered, something big would surely happen! Right now, the Tianjiang Plain was at war with the Six Great Demon Mountains again, and the situation was almost exactly the same as it was six hundred years ago.
At the same time, Wang Ji's gaze also fell upon Zhang Nuo and the others. With his brows tightly furrowed, he drew a sharp breath; these three seemingly ordinary Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators could actually kill dozens of Demon Sect cultivators—this was simply too incredible.
"Brother Du! Go and wipe out those three brats! Don't let them be too rampant, otherwise the momentum of our Demon Mountains will be suppressed!"
With a slight movement of his lips, Wang Ji sent a voice transmission to Du Yuntang, the Sect Leader of the Xianghuang Demon Mountain in the distance. At this moment, Du Yuntang was joining forces with Gui Xiao to deal with Leng Xinghun, the sect leader of the Corpse Driving Sect.
Although the two used their full strength, they were still unable to kill Leng Xinghun and his Corpse Refining.
"Brother Gui Xiao, I'll leave this place to you for now! I'll be back shortly!"
Hearing Wang Ji's voice transmission, Du Yuntang also looked toward Zhang Nuo's location. His heart stirred suddenly, and killing intent erupted! He did not take these mere Foundation Establishment existences seriously. After saying this in a deep voice, he turned into a black rainbow and charged over.
Leng Xinghun's Corpse Refining let out a long, howling roar and just wanted to go intercept Du Yuntang, but he didn't expect Gui Xiao to shoot a black beam of light from the copper bell in his hand, blocking it.
"Your opponent is me!"
The emotionless words made Leng Xinghun's expression sink slightly. Although he knew that the joint attack of Gu Yu and the others was not weak, it would likely be very difficult to deal with a Golden Core Middle Stage cultivator!
However, with Gui Xiao restraining him, Leng Xinghun was helpless! He could only pray in his heart that nothing would happen to Gu Yu. He had already lost Tie Lin; if he were to lose Gu Yu as well, the Corpse Driving Sect would be completely devastated from then on!
Zhang Nuo was driving his Flying Swords to kill Demon Sect cultivators when suddenly, a massive Spiritual Pressure descended from above his head, causing his heart to beat wildly several times.
"Not good!"
Sensing that something was wrong, Zhang Nuo let out a low exclamation. The Spirit Power in his Three Spirit Seas surged wildly, and his body retreated like lightning.
Whoosh! Just as Zhang Nuo's body left its original position, a large black net fell down. If he hadn't moved fast enough, he likely would have been trapped inside this black net.
With his expression changing drastically, Zhang Nuo looked up toward the high sky and saw an old man in his seventies, his body wrapped in escape light, looking at him in surprise. As soon as he saw the escape light, he knew the opponent was a Golden Core Stage cultivator.
Du Yuntang's attack just now was extremely swift, and ordinary Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators would have been unable to escape, but the speed Zhang Nuo had just displayed was comparable to that of a Golden Core Stage cultivator.
"Interesting!"
A strange look flashed across Du Yuntang's face and vanished. Just as he was about to strike at Zhang Nuo again, a sound of piercing through the air rang out behind him. Without even turning his head, this Sect Leader of Xianghuang Demon Mountain dodged the sneak attack very nimbly by shifting his body to the side.
A Great Halberd brushed past him, and then a figure appeared in front of Zhang Nuo, waving a large hand to recall the Square Heaven Painted Halberd that had missed its target.
"Brother Han!"
Seeing Han Liang come to help, Zhang Nuo felt a bit more confident. If he were to face a Golden Core Stage cultivator alone, his demise would only be a matter of time.
"Haha! How could a good show be missing me?"
After an excited laugh, two figures, one red and one black, flashed to the side of Zhang Nuo and Han Liang; it was Gu Yu!
"I was already bored of killing Demon Sect cultivators of the same rank! Finally, a big guy has come!"
Beneath the black robe, a faint cold sneer appeared on the corner of Gu Yu's mouth. He didn't take Du Yuntang high in the sky seriously at all and spoke loudly on purpose.
"You..."
Being humiliated like this, Du Yuntang was so angry he felt like his lungs were about to explode.
"I'll let you three be arrogant!"
With an angry roar, Du Yuntang rubbed his hands together violently, and pure Demonic Qi radiated from his palms. At the same time, this Demonic Qi twisted and deformed in front of him, finally manifesting into a Black Token!
This token was half a foot in size, pitch-black and shiny all over. In the very center of the token, a large character for "Order" was written! The swirling Demonic Qi made the entire token look extremely eerie!
This token was originally Du Yuntang's trump card; he would absolutely not take it out unless absolutely necessary. At this time, he had been fighting for a whole night, and the Demonic Qi in his body was running low. The three Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators before him all had strong abilities, so he naturally dared not be negligent!
He had intended to use a sneak attack to kill Zhang Nuo first and then deal with Han Liang and Gu Yu. He hadn't expected that the sneak attack he considered foolproof would be dodged by Zhang Nuo, and that it would also summon the other two. He felt somewhat angry!
Du Yuntang did not believe he could lose to the three people opposite him, but it would not be easy to kill the three of them quickly with his current physical state. Gritting his teeth, he finally used the Black Token!
"Consider it your luck to be able to die by my hand!"
Holding the Black Token and shaking it gently, Du Yuntang's old face was full of sinister smiles.
Zhang Nuo and the other two could not help but retreat several yards. The eerie aura radiating from the Black Token made fear rise from the bottom of their hearts. A Magic Treasure revealed by a Golden Core Stage cultivator would not be an ordinary object.
Sure enough, after a cold sneer, Du Yuntang threw the Black Token in his hand toward the high sky, while his hands changed through several Dharma seals and he cast an extremely thick spell.
As soon as the spell disappeared into the Black Token, Demonic Qi surged across the surface of the token, and bursts of beast roars were emitted!
With a 'pop', the Black Token shattered, forming a mass of black gas in mid-air. Slowly, this mass of black gas expanded outward, and in the blink of an eye, it formed a giant gate several yards high.
This gate was pitch-black throughout, and the Demonic Qi surrounding it emitted a "hissing" sound; after finishing all this, Du Yuntang's figure flashed and he arrived right in front of the Black Giant Gate.
Seeing this, Wang Ji and the others in the distance revealed expressions of astonishment on their faces; they had not expected that with Du Yuntang's cultivation, he would actually use this move to kill three Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators.
Zhuge An and Leng Xinghun were even more shocked and pale, a sense of despair rushing over them like a tide; they had wanted to pull away to save Zhang Nuo and the other two, but the opponents before them gave them no chance at all, and after several rounds of attacks, they were instead forced further and further away!
Gazing at the Black Giant Gate, Zhang Nuo and the other two retreated quite a bit more, and after exchanging a glance, cold sweat broke out on their palms; Han Liang's hand gripping the Square Heaven Painted Halberd emitted a series of cracking sounds from his knuckles as he gathered his strength, preparing to deliver a fatal blow to whatever was behind the black gate.
Zhang Nuo likewise controlled the Flying Sword beside him with his Divine Sense, his hands already forming a spell seal, while his other hand pressed against his Storage Bag, also ready to launch an attack at any moment.
Only Gu Yu had a gloomy expression, his body hiding behind the Blood Corpse, his pair of small eyes releasing a chilling, sinister gleam!
"Three juniors! You killed so many cultivators of the Five Great Demon Mountains, today you shall pay with your lives!"
Looking at the three with fury, Du Yuntang said hatefully, while simultaneously pressing one hand onto the Black Giant Gate; with a forceful push, the gate opened inward.
The gazes of Zhang Nuo and the other two were fixed tightly on the slowly opening Black Giant Gate, only to see that behind the Black Giant Gate was an entirely different scene.
This giant gate seemed to connect to another space, a deep, secluded path that led to who knows where!
"Thump! Thump!"
The moment the Black Giant Gate opened, a series of heavy footsteps rang out; at the same time, a massive and mysterious Spiritual Pressure rushed out through the giant gate toward the outside.
Although Zhang Nuo and the others were relatively far from the Black Giant Gate, they could still feel the power within it! In an instant, the faces of all three turned unsightly, their hearts beating violently as if they were about to jump out of their bodies.
