Chapter 191: Impossible to Guard Against

Secretly guessing what trick Wu Gang was trying to pull, Zhang Nuo did not relax his attack; after a dragon's roar, a silver dragon about a zhang long charged into the blood mist, emerging from the other side in the blink of an eye, and with a swirl in mid-air, the dragon had something clamped in its jaws!

When the dragon returned to Zhang Nuo's side, Wu Gang finally realized that the Golden Great Hammer he had been trapping in the blood mist had been snatched back.

Zhang Nuo's Spirit-Transforming Flying Sword was different from Chu Budong's hammer; it possessed not only attack power but also speed, making it extremely difficult for Wu Gang to trap it with the blood mist!

"Senior Brother Chu!"

Zhang Nuo flicked his hand and returned the great hammer to Chu Budong. Reaching out to catch the golden hammer, Chu Budong let out a long roar and charged back into the fray.

With the great hammer in hand, Chu Budong was like a tiger with wings, and with the flickering shadows of the hammer, he forced back several magic cultivators! Seeing this, just as a look of joy appeared on Zhang Nuo's face, the surface of the blood mist rolled like waves several times, and a blood-colored magic blade about a zhang long stood up from within it.

Red light flickered on the blade's body, and with a flying slash, it charged toward the nearest Nanxuan Sect cultivator! Zhang Nuo knew the power of this magic blade well, so he dared not delay and flashed his figure to block the blade's offensive!

"Fellow Daoist Xue! The opportunity has come!"

Seeing that Zhang Nuo had indeed taken the bait, Wu Gang hurriedly sent a voice transmission to Xue Qianyang, while at the same time, he changed his hand seals several times within the blood mist, causing a skull about a zhang in size to condense on the surface of the blood mist!

Hiding on the ramparts of the fortress, Xue Qianyang heard this and looked up, only to see Zhang Nuo fully exerting his Flying Sword to block the magic blade, not noticing her at all.

A ruthless look appeared on her face; she fiercely cast the White Round Ball she had already prepared in her jade hand toward Zhang Nuo, and at the same time, her figure flashed, flying out of the fortress at extreme speed!

Xue Qianyang's White Round Ball was some unknown Magic Treasure, its speed incomparably fast, reaching Zhang Nuo's vicinity in almost the blink of an eye!

"Not good!"

Suddenly sensing a massive Spiritual Pressure with his Divine Sense, Zhang Nuo turned his head to look and saw a white mass shooting toward him, his heart instantly filled with shock!

This white round ball was too fast, giving him almost no time to react, and with a flash, it was right in front of him!

With a loud 'Boom', the White Round Ball launched by Xue Qianyang exploded several zhang away from Zhang Nuo, and then things like snowflakes drifted down across the sky.

The surface of these white fragments was covered in a faint, flickering arc of electricity, and with a sweep, they wrapped toward Zhang Nuo!

"Junior Brother, watch out!"

Seeing this scene, Chu Budong's heart rose to his throat. Zhang Nuo had been slightly affected by the previous explosion, and his body nearly fell from his Flying Magic Tool. Just as he hesitated for a moment, countless white snowflakes surged toward him frantically!

With no time to think, he activated his Three Spirit Seas simultaneously, and his entire body retreated with a 'whoosh', his speed no slower than the escape light of a Golden Core Cultivator!

"Hmm?"

Xue Qianyang had thought Zhang Nuo would definitely be hit by this attack, but she had not expected the opponent to escape so quickly; it seemed the rumors were not entirely false, and this seemingly young cultivator indeed had some tricks up his sleeve.

However, she did not give up; with a movement of her Divine Sense, those snowflake-like white fragments condensed in mid-air and transformed into a White Giant Net.

After a slight pause, it covered Zhang Nuo from above! The speed of the white giant net was terrifying; this was the first time since Zhang Nuo had started his cultivation journey that he had seen a Magic Treasure with a speed comparable to his own Flying Sword.

With his expression changing drastically, Zhang Nuo activated his Three Spirit Seas for the second time to retreat; although he dodged the strike of the White Giant Net, his body became incredibly painful due to the two high-speed movements, as if it were about to be torn apart.

Before Zhang Nuo could even catch his breath, a skull about a zhang in size shot toward him from the side, launched from Wu Gang's blood mist!

All of this happened extremely quickly; from the moment Zhang Nuo was ambushed by Xue Qianyang to the appearance of the red skull, less than a few breaths of time had passed.

Even with all of Zhang Nuo's great divine abilities, facing an ambush from two Foundation Establishment Late Stage experts of the Demon Mountain, he was struggling to cope. Seeing the red skull attacking, he had no way to dodge anymore, so in desperation, crimson flames erupted from his body, condensing into a half-zhang-sized Crimson Fire Shield in front of him!

He heard a loud 'Boom' in his ears, and Zhang Nuo, along with the fire shield, was knocked flying nearly a hundred zhang away; as soon as he stood steady, he spat out a mouthful of blood!

If he hadn't tempered his body with Red Glow Fire, he would have been at least severely injured by that blow. Even so, Zhang Nuo still felt pain in his chest, and the bones throughout his limbs and skeleton were permeated with unstable Spirit Power shocks!

"Seal his path back!"

Seeing the ambush succeed, Xue Qianyang's fair little face was full of smugness. The reason Zhang Nuo had been able to sever one of Du Yuntang's arms back then was because Han Liang and Gu Yu were there; now that he was alone, with only a few Nanxuan Sect disciples of mediocre cultivation, it was the perfect opportunity to kill him!

Seeing this, more than a dozen magic cultivators immediately took action, abandoning their opponents one after another, and with a 'swish', they flashed to block Zhang Nuo's retreat!

Seeing Zhang Nuo injured, Chu Budong and the others wanted to save him with all their might, but they were too far away to help! At this moment, Xue Qianyang charged toward Zhang Nuo first.

In the middle of flying, she grabbed the White Giant Net with her jade hand, taking it into her palm, and with a slight flip, it transformed back into the White Round Ball!

Zhang Nuo gasped in shock; this woman's Magic Treasure was too bizarre, especially the immense power generated the moment it exploded. If he were hit by her again, he would absolutely have no chance of survival!

Thinking of this, he wanted to flee, but when he turned his head to look, his heart sank; he saw more than a dozen magic cultivators sealing his retreat path tightly. Even if Zhang Nuo could charge through, it would inevitably take some time, and during that delay, Xue Qianyang would be able to catch up to him!

Gritting his teeth, Zhang Nuo had no choice but to choose another direction to flee, and as his Flying Magic Tool moved, he simultaneously sent a voice transmission to Chu Budong and the others:

"After I lure these two away, you must immediately return to report the news; do not get entangled in the fight!"

Seeing Zhang Nuo flee in another direction, Xue Qianyang and Wu Gang were both overjoyed; as long as he didn't run back to the territory of the Nanxuan Sect, the two of them were confident they could keep chasing him!

Wu Gang's massive blood mist figure moved, and together with Xue Qianyang, they chased wildly after Zhang Nuo!

"Junior Brother Zhang! Oh no!"

Chu Budong stomped his foot in mid-air in anger, but his flight speed was not as fast as the three of them, and even if he chased after them, it would be of no use! He immediately led the disciples of his sect to break through the encirclement quickly and flew toward the fortress where Zhuge An was located.

Wu Gang and Xue Qianyang's target was Zhang Nuo from the start; they didn't care whether Chu Budong and the others escaped. As long as they could kill Zhang Nuo, letting these people go would not affect the overall situation!

Zhang Nuo fled in front; although his body had been protected by the small shield formed by the Red Glow Fire from the strike of Wu Gang's blood-colored skull, the remaining power was enough to injure his body!

Relying on being a cultivator of the Three Spirit Seas, he continuously nourished his internal organs with Spirit Power while fleeing! Sweeping his Divine Sense backward, he saw Wu Gang and Xue Qianyang chasing him desperately, with no intention of letting him go!

Zhang Nuo took a deep breath, cursing the two of them as shameless in his heart!

"Fellow Daoist Xue! Your Palm Thunder is truly powerful! If we can kill Zhang Nuo today, our names will surely be renowned throughout the Five Great Demon Mountains!"

Inside the blood mist, Wu Gang laughed and said!

"Fellow Daoist Wu's blood mist is not weak either! You and I must join forces to kill him and boost the prestige of the Five Great Demon Mountains!"

Don't look at Xue Qianyang as just a woman; her ambition was no less than a man's. Now that the Five Great Demon Mountains had long been spreading rumors that Zhang Nuo was god-like, every time she heard these things, she wanted to fight Zhang Nuo even more! She would not let this opportunity in front of her slip away no matter what!

Zhang Nuo naturally did not know about the conversation between these two; he was focused only on fleeing. Even in his prime without injuries, he would not have been certain of victory against the pincer attack of two great experts!

Without a seventy percent chance of winning, Zhang Nuo would not fight head-on; he never did such risky things! The three of them streaked across the sky like meteors, one after the other.

After chasing for about two hours, Xue Qianyang and Wu Gang still had no way to catch Zhang Nuo. Only then did the two of them feel some admiration for him; he was truly a difficult fellow, still flying so fast even after being injured!

"It seems this kid's cultivation has improved quite a bit after advancing! When I encountered him back then, his flight speed was far inferior to what it is now!"

Having fought Zhang Nuo once, Wu Gang shook his head from within the blood mist.

"Hmph! Let's see how long he can hold out!"

Xue Qianyang let out a delicate shout, a look of disdain appearing on her little face. This woman had always been arrogant and refused to submit to anyone! Hearing Wu Gang say this, she was even less willing to let Zhang Nuo go!

"We must kill him today, otherwise, once his cultivation reaches completion, everything you and I have done today will surely be held against us in his heart!"

"Fellow Daoist Xue is right!"

Wu Gang had also made up his mind; last time he had nearly perished at the hands of Zhang Nuo, and it had taken nearly a year of recuperation on Demon Mountain to recover! Today was a perfect opportunity for revenge!

At this moment, Zhang Nuo was inwardly lamenting again and again; he regretted that he really should not have agreed to Zhuge An and accepted this mission, never expecting that such a small fortress would actually hide two great experts!

But it was too late to say anything now; the two people behind him were biting onto him like maggots on rotting bone and would not let go! Even though he was already fleeing with all his might, he still could not shake them off.

Because Zhang Nuo had fled in a hurry, he had no idea in which direction he was flying; after flying for four days, ahead of him lay boundless mountains, a continuous, undulating mountain range, one peak after another, and he had no idea where this place was!
