Chapter 187: Victory

Du Yuntang's face was filled with disappointment and fury. His body hovered in mid-air, his eyes wide enough to bleed. After consuming a Sixth-Rank Demon Core, the summoned demon beast hadn't managed to kill a single cultivator and had just run back like that!

He had lost face completely this time; being toyed with in the palms of three juniors would surely make him the laughingstock of the Five Great Demon Mountains in the future.

Zhang Nuo moved his body and immediately returned to Han Liang's side. With a slight shift of his Divine Sense, all the Flying Swords returned to the Sword Box. However, the destruction of his Wu Hook still caused some damage to his spirit.

Han Liang held his Great Halberd in one hand, his gaze never leaving Du Yuntang. Having been made to lose such face, Du Yuntang would certainly not let it go; the counterattack to come would surely be like a thunderbolt.

At this moment, Gu Yu also flew back to the two of them. She glanced at the Blood Corpse, feeling somewhat worried; after being repaired twice, obvious scars had appeared on the corpse.

The cultivators from the Four Great Sects of the Tianjiang Plain all around raised their arms and cheered, their morale reaching an unprecedented peak. Zhuge An narrowed his eyes, a cold sneer constantly appearing on his face. He hadn't expected that in a battle that seemed destined for defeat, Zhang Nuo and the others would actually emerge victorious.

"Sect Master Du! What are you still stunned for? Kill them!"

Sensing the low morale on the side of the Five Great Demon Mountains, Wang Ji shouted angrily at Du Yuntang.

Standing quietly in mid-air, Du Yuntang's expression shifted several times. He had heard Wang Ji's words long ago, but he acted as if he hadn't heard them. After a long while, he finally cast his gaze upon Zhang Nuo and the others.

"Three juniors! Today, even if I have to risk my own fall, I will exterminate you!"

The angry, cold words were not loud, but hearing them made the three of them feel a chill in their hearts and a cold shiver down their spines! At this moment, the three were nearly at the end of their rope, especially Han Liang, who had exhausted all his strength in his continuous attacks on the Black Giant Gate; his hand holding the Great Halberd was still trembling.

Zhang Nuo had recovered a bit more. He kept one hand pressed against his Storage Bag, his eyes staring sharply at Du Yuntang opposite him. If Han Liang hadn't broken the Black Giant Gate in time, he would have fallen at Du Yuntang's hands just now.

*Whoosh! *

With a sound of air being torn, Du Yuntang acted as if he had gone mad. All the Demonic Qi on his body surged out, and he charged over while riding his escape light. He smashed his only remaining hand against his chest, and suddenly, his mouth opened wide, spitting out a mass of black gas.

The black gas dissipated during the flight, revealing a crystal covered in sharp spikes inside. This crystal shone like a crystal, pure white all over, without a single flaw.

Seeing this, Zhang Nuo did not hesitate. He quickly tapped his Storage Bag with one hand, and a Golden Light flew out from it. Just as he retrieved the Magic Treasure, Du Yuntang made his move, spitting several mouthfuls of essence blood onto the spiked crystal. The crystal split into several pieces, turning into a sky full of crystals.

Under the sunlight, these pure white crystals emitted bursts of white light. *Whoosh! Whoosh! * Several crystals suddenly attacked without any warning, their speed like light and electricity, reaching the front of Zhang Nuo and the others in the blink of an eye.

Before Gu Yu and Han Liang could make any move, Zhang Nuo pointed at the Golden Light flying in front of him. As the Golden Light spun around in front of him, its volume increased by more than several dozen times. When the Golden Light faded, a giant seal over ten zhang in size appeared before the three of them.

The giant seal blocked all the incoming spiked crystals. As soon as these crystals hit the Heaven-Turning Seal, they immediately burst apart, turning into shards like ice crystals!

"Heaven-Turning Seal!"

Seeing this, Du Yuntang let out a low cry, his face changing drastically. Although he had never seen this Ancient Treasure, he had long heard of it from people of the Five Great Demon Mountains. Six hundred years ago, when the Five Great Demon Mountains joined forces to attack the Tianjiang Plain, an Elder of the Beixuan Sect named Nangong had used this seal to slay several demonic cultivators.

In the end, it was only because he was exhausted that he was killed! Today, the giant seal had appeared again, and Du Yuntang felt a measure of fear in his heart! A person's reputation and a tree's shadow—some things are even more terrifying when heard of!

Han Liang and Gu Yu both stared blankly at Zhang Nuo. They had thought Zhang Nuo was at his wit's end just like them, but they hadn't expected that at the critical moment, he would activate another powerful Magic Treasure. They truly didn't know what other secrets this kid had!

Zhang Nuo gritted his teeth. He was currently injured, and the Spiritual Qi in his body was nearing exhaustion. If it weren't for that, he would have used his Flying Swords long ago.

"Old man Du! Give me your life!"

Zhang Nuo's eyes were also bloodshot. The final ray of light erupted from the Three Spirit Seas within his body, and all his Spirit Power poured into the 'Heaven-Turning Seal'. Suddenly, the 'Chaos Beast' atop the giant seal seemed to come alive, its four hooves stomping heavily on the seal, emitting a *Boom! * sound.

Golden Runes flowed at the bottom of the giant seal, and ten thousand rays of Golden Light poured out. *Whoosh! * The massive form of the Heaven-Turning Seal flashed and smashed toward Du Yuntang.

This was a strike with all of Zhang Nuo's might, and its momentum was truly terrifying. When Du Yuntang saw it, his heart turned over. He hadn't expected that a desperate strike from a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator could have such power. With a slight shift of his Divine Sense, the thousands of spiked crystals around his body shot toward the giant seal in unison.

However, as soon as these crystals flew near the giant seal, they were immediately shrouded by the Golden Light emitted from the bottom of the seal. The crystals, which had been extremely fast, instantly slowed down. Within a few breaths, unable to withstand the immense pressure within the Golden Light, they slowly cracked open.

*Snap! Snap! * The sound of the cracking was just like the sound of Du Yuntang's heart breaking. This spiked crystal had been cultivated within his body for decades and was meant to be his final trump card; he hadn't expected it to be destroyed just like that!

*Whoosh! *

Just as he was heartbroken over his Magic Treasure, Zhang Nuo's Heaven-Turning Seal had already reached him. Before the Golden Light of the runes at the bottom of the seal could even cover him, an immense Spiritual Pressure washed over him.

Du Yuntang's face changed drastically. Wrapped in his escape light, he turned into a black rainbow and fled with a *whoosh*. At this moment, several disciples of the Xianghuang Demon Mountain came to rescue him, but their bodies were caught by the Golden Light of the Heaven-Turning Seal, and with a scream, their bodies were torn into several pieces by the immense pressure!

Splashes of blood bloomed in mid-air like bright red flowers! Looking back, Du Yuntang was scared out of his wits. Ignoring his dead disciples, he increased the speed of his escape light and fled rapidly toward the rear!

Seeing this, the cultivators of the Tianjiang Plain immediately cheered loudly. The Sect Master of the Xianghuang Demon Mountain was being chased by a Foundation Establishment Stage Magic Treasure and didn't dare to look back. From the start of the great battle until now, there was nothing more heartening than this.

At this moment, Wang Ji really wanted to rush up and slaughter Du Yuntang himself. A dignified Sect Master of a Demon Mountain had ended up in such a state—he had lost face completely!

Zhuge An seized this opening, and a few consecutive attacks actually left Wang Ji in a precarious situation, nearly getting hit! This turn of events caused the morale of the Tianjiang Plain cultivators to soar, and shouts of battle rose one after another.

The situation was already giving Wang Ji a headache, but the next thing that happened gave him an even bigger one: hundreds of lights appeared out of thin air from the direction of the Tianjiang Plain, rushing toward this location.

"Not good! It's reinforcements from the Tianjiang Plain!"

He thought to himself, and this time Wang Ji was completely disappointed. Now that the other side had new forces joining them and their own demonic cultivator morale was low, there was no way they could win if they continued to fight!

"Retreat!"

Although Wang Ji was unwilling, the current situation was right before his eyes; if they didn't retreat, the losses would be even more severe! After a few fierce attacks to force Zhuge An back, Wang Ji led the Sect Masters of the Five Great Demon Mountains and began to flee rapidly.

At this time, Zhuge An also saw the arriving cultivators. After a moment of thought, he guessed that Zhuge Qing had likely succeeded in persuading the sects around the Tianjiang Plain.

Overjoyed, he led the cultivators to pursue them! The defeat was like a collapsing mountain; once the cultivators of the Five Great Demon Mountains saw their Sect Masters fleeing, they had no heart to fight anymore. Each of them flew away with all their might, and in the blink of an eye, they had fled back to the Demon Mountain.

After pursuing for a while, Zhuge An waved his hand to signal everyone to stop. The crowd stopped in mid-air, watching the demonic cultivators fly toward the direction of the Five Great Demon Mountains.

"Father!"

Zhuge Qing rode her Flying Magic Tool and quickly arrived at Zhuge An's side, looking at him with concern.

"I'm fine! Haha! The cultivators of the Demon Mountain have finally been defeated!"

The old man could no longer hide the excitement in his heart and looked up and laughed. At this moment, all the cultivators of the Tianjiang Plain also burst into cheers!

"I have persuaded several sects around the Tianjiang Plain. They agreed to take action and even brought quite a few cultivators with them this time!"

"Good! Qing'er, you have performed a great service this time! Where is Zhang Nuo?"

As Zhuge An spoke, he suddenly realized that Zhang Nuo was nowhere to be found, and a worried expression appeared on his face. In this great battle, Zhang Nuo had brought great honor to the Nanxuan Sect, severing one of Du Yuntang's arms and forcing Du Yuntang to flee. One might ask, who else in the Foundation Establishment Stage could accomplish such a feat?

Reminded by her father, Zhuge Qing also began to search for Zhang Nuo. At that time, numerous cultivators were cheering for the victory, and with the noisy crowd, neither of them could find Zhang Nuo with their Divine Sense for a moment.

"Fellow Daoist Zhuge! I have arrived late! My deepest apologies!"

At this moment, a cultivator brought by Zhuge Qing quickly arrived in front of Zhuge An. Seeing the great victory of the Tianjiang Plain, he was terrified that he would be blamed by the Four Great Sects for not taking action earlier, so he came over to offer his apologies!

Zhuge An exchanged a few polite words. Although he knew the man's intentions, he did not expose them. More and more cultivators from the surrounding area arrived in front of Zhuge An, surrounding him and the Sect Masters of the other three great sects.

Zhuge Qing flew out of the crowd alone. With her Divine Sense fully expanded, she scanned the surroundings. Suddenly, her Divine Sense sensed Zhang Nuo's Spirit Power fluctuations, though they were very weak.

Greatly alarmed, the young woman rushed toward that direction!
