Chapter 220: Tyrannical Slaughter

Just as Wu Gang hesitated for a moment in the Blood Mist, Zhang Nuo had already charged above the Blood Mist, pointed his finger into the void, and dozens of Flying Swords poured out, wrapped in layers of Spirit Power, emitting a humming sound as they all slashed toward the interior of the Blood Mist.

"Swish! Swish!"

Several sounds of breaking through the air rang out in succession, and a large patch of the Blood Mist was slashed to pieces, revealing Wu Gang's figure. Zhang Nuo smiled coldly, murderous intent erupting in his eyes. With his current cultivation, dealing with a Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivator was as easy as turning over his hand; the Blood Mist could no longer pose a danger to him.

Just as he was about to deal a lethal blow to Wu Gang, more than twenty rays of light shot out from the ground one after another. Wrapped within these rays of light were several Magic Treasures, and no matter which one it was, its power did not look weak!

If Zhang Nuo were to forcefully attack and kill Wu Gang, several of the Magic Treasures would certainly strike him. After quickly weighing it in his heart, he gave up on Wu Gang and flew to one side, dodging the attacks from the ground.

Taking advantage of this time, Wu Gang gathered the Blood Mist again and hid his figure within it. With a flash, he moved far away from where Zhang Nuo was. After one exchange, he understood in his heart that the gap between him and Zhang Nuo was no longer small. If he were to continue to forcefully attack, falling in battle was certain.

"Fellow Daoist Wu! Why have you come to Wushuang Sacred Demon Mountain?"

In mid-air, Xue Qianyang stood on a Flying Magic Tool, her face deathly pale. If it weren't for Wu Gang appearing in time, she would have already died at Zhang Nuo's hands.

"I originally had something to tell you, but I didn't expect to run into him!"

While inside the Blood Mist, Wu Gang said with some helplessness.

Just as the two had spoken a few words, Zhang Nuo's Divine Sense quickly locked onto them. In Wushuang Sacred Demon Mountain, Fu Ling was not present, and Xue Qianyang was the highest commander. To capture the bandits, one must first capture the leader; as long as he killed the two of them, the entire Demon Mountain would be nothing to fear!

Thinking of this, the escape light on Zhang Nuo's body flickered, and he wanted to charge toward the two, but the Magic Treasures attacking from all sides were like raindrops, leaving him unable to attend to everything. In a fit of anger, Zhang Nuo could only give up on the two for now and charged downward, his surrounding Flying Swords flickering with brilliance as he continuously killed more than a dozen demonic cultivators.

Zhang Nuo did not show the slightest mercy when attacking; as long as they were struck by the Flying Swords, they would surely be decapitated. Many demonic cultivators saw this and retreated one after another.

"We have many people, everyone attack together! Even a Golden Core Cultivator cannot withstand it!"

Above his head, Xue Qianyang shouted sternly. Zhang Nuo felt his teeth itch with hatred; if the hundreds of demonic cultivators before him all charged up together, he would have no way to deal with it! The most powerful wide-range attack Magic Treasure at his side was the Heaven-Turning Seal, but this Magic Treasure could only hold them off for a moment.

What was even more terrifying was that small Dharma Arrays composed of several demonic cultivators were everywhere. If one were accidentally hit by a beam of light from an array, things would become even harder to handle.

"Swish! Swish!"

Dozens of sounds of breaking through the air rang out, and more and more Magic Treasures slashed toward Zhang Nuo. With his brows tightly furrowed, he had no choice but to turn into a streak of escape light and charge into the depths of the Demon Mountain.

In terms of flight speed, no one in Wushuang Sacred Demon Mountain was faster than him, which was precisely Zhang Nuo's advantage. After flying at extreme speed for a distance, he finally shook off the large group of demonic cultivators behind him.

However, constantly fleeing like this was not a solution; he had to get out as soon as possible. The brilliance of the Mountain Protection Array was very sturdy; even if he smashed it with the Heaven-Turning Seal, it would at most ripple with waves!

Back when he faced Zuo Mutang, Zhang Nuo hadn't felt it was this troublesome. As soon as his figure stopped, the large group of demonic cultivators behind him caught up. In the dark night, only dots of light could be seen flickering, and the shouts of battle made the entire Demon Mountain echo incessantly.

Letting out a long breath, Zhang Nuo once again drove his escape light and fled toward the other side of the Demon Mountain. To break the Mountain Protection Restriction, he had to find the Restriction Array hidden within the Demon Mountain. But generally speaking, the Mountain Protection Restriction was the lifeblood of the Demon Mountain and would be very well hidden, making it impossible for anyone to discover it easily.

While fleeing, Zhang Nuo was calculating in his heart how to find the eye of the Mountain Protection Array. Just at this moment, a soft sound came from above his head. Looking up, he saw a black net nearly a hundred zhang in size covering him from above!

"Not good!"

He secretly said in his heart, and Zhang Nuo increased his speed, wanting to rush out of the range of the net's shadow, but even so, he was a few moments too slow. As the massive net shadow fell, it trapped him within it. At the same time, the giant net slowly shrank, and in one wrap, it sealed Zhang Nuo's entire body inside.

"Ah!"

At the same time he was wrapped by the giant net, a crimson flame erupted from Zhang Nuo's body. With a long, angry roar, he exerted force with his limbs and forcibly tore the giant net apart.

The several demonic cultivators who had just swarmed up around him saw this, and their faces turned deathly pale. They had not expected that a Golden Core Cultivator could actually use brute force to forcibly break the giant net.

Emerging from the restraints of the giant net, Zhang Nuo's eyes were blood-red. This time he was truly enraged; if he had been firmly trapped in the net, he could only wait for death.

"Go to hell!"

Roaring like a wild beast, Zhang Nuo attacked, and several streaks of white light flickered, instantly killing several demonic cultivators. The escape light surged from his body, and he fled again.

By the time Xue Qianyang and the others arrived here, only shreds of the giant net and the corpses of several demonic cultivators remained! Exchanging a glance with Wu Gang, the two understood in their hearts that the ambush by these demonic cultivators had apparently failed.

"Fellow Daoist Xue, if we keep chasing like this, it's not a solution! We should hurry and ask for help from Qingnian Demon Mountain!"

Wu Gang's expression sank slightly. Facing a Golden Core stage cultivator, they had no way to deal with him and could only rely on attacking with numbers, but this was not a long-term plan. After a few rounds of attacks, Zhang Nuo was unscathed, but they had lost dozens of people on their side.

"I have already sent a Sound Transmission Talisman; I believe reinforcements will arrive immediately!"

Xue Qianyang calculated the time in her heart, estimating that by this time, Qingnian Demon Mountain had already received the news.

After Zhang Nuo flew to a certain place, he opened his Divine Sense wide but did not find any sign of demonic cultivators. Only then did he land in a hidden spot, and after the Nine Dragon Sword Case inside his body absorbed the Spirit Power fluctuations on his body, he hid quietly.

In this way, he believed that if the demonic cultivators on Wushuang Sacred Demon Mountain didn't have any secret techniques, they would be unable to discover him at all! Taking advantage of this time, Zhang Nuo calculated in his heart how to find the eye of the Mountain Protection Array.

"Kid Zhang, this time you've really poked a hornet's nest!"

Chunyangzi's laughter came from his mind, and listening to his voice, he didn't seem particularly worried.

"Senior, where would the eye of a typical Mountain Protection Array be?"

"I can't say for sure; every sect has a different location. You'd better find it yourself slowly!"

After saying this lazily, Chunyangzi disappeared as if nothing had happened!

"Using this trick again!"

Zhang Nuo sighed helplessly. Recently, Chunyangzi rarely gave him any guidance, always letting him fend for himself!

"Swish! Swish!"

Two streaks of light streaked across the sky. Zhang Nuo looked up and saw two demonic cultivators holding Array Disks in their hands, seemingly searching for him. After staying in this place for only a moment, the two demonic cultivators flew away quickly; it seemed they hadn't discovered his hiding place.

Letting out a long breath, Zhang Nuo did not move and remained in the old spot, recalling some information he had obtained when he first entered the Demon Mountain. He estimated that the eye of the Mountain Protection Array might be at the very top of the Demon Mountain.

However, he dared not be certain of this; it was just a guess! After pondering for a long time, Zhang Nuo slowly approached the top of the mountain.

The daylight brightened bit by bit. Without the cover of the dark night, it was useless for Zhang Nuo to hide the aura on his body. Thinking of this, he turned into a rainbow streak and charged urgently toward the top of Wushuang Sacred Demon Mountain.

Not long after he revealed his figure and began flying, a chorus of shouts and kills rang out. Zhang Nuo couldn't care about that much anymore; he increased his escape speed and flew straight toward the mountaintop. When he was still a few hundred zhang away from the top, he saw Xue Qianyang and Wu Gang waiting there with all the demonic cultivators.

Behind them, pure Demonic Qi erupted. It seemed Zhang Nuo had guessed correctly; the eye of the Mountain Protection Array was right here. But the hundreds of demonic cultivators before him had become a roadblock, each bringing out all their Magic Treasures to protect the eye of the array so tightly that not even water could trickle through.

"Zhang! You want to destroy the eye of the array and escape Wushuang Sacred Demon Mountain? Don't even think about it!"

After a night of searching without finding Zhang Nuo, Xue Qianyang's thoughts shifted, and she thought of the location of the eye of the Mountain Protection Array. She immediately ordered all the demonic cultivators on the Demon Mountain to gather here. As long as they protected the eye of the array and didn't let Zhang Nuo escape the Demon Mountain, things would become much easier to handle once the reinforcements from Qingnian Demon Mountain arrived.

Looking at the dense crowd of people in front, Zhang Nuo also felt a headache. With so many Foundation Establishment cultivators protecting the eye of the array, he had no way to deal with it. It was possible to charge in forcefully, but destroying the eye of the array would also require some effort, and how could so many demonic cultivators watch him destroy the eye of the array with their own eyes?

"Haha! Little doll! The old man has arrived!"

Just as Zhang Nuo was hesitating, a burst of wild laughter came from above his head. Hearing this voice, it sounded somewhat familiar. Looking up, he saw a one-armed old man floating outside the Mountain Protection Array, looking at him with eyes spitting fire.

"Du Yuntang!"

Seeing the old man's face and the empty sleeve, Zhang Nuo recognized the person who had arrived; it was none other than Du Yuntang, the Sect Leader of Xianghuang Demon Mountain.

Upon learning that Wushuang Sacred Demon Mountain had been ambushed, Fu Ling had wanted to return personally, but upon hearing it was Zhang Nuo, Du Yuntang could not sit still. His arm had been severed by Zhang Nuo, and without avenging this grudge, he had a knot in his heart that could not be untied.

The other Sect Leaders of Demon Mountain tried to persuade him otherwise, but Du Yuntang was determined to go, and in the end, even Fu Ling had no choice but to agree.

After a night of flying, Du Yuntang finally arrived at Wushuang Sacred Demon Mountain, and the moment he laid eyes on Zhang Nuo, he could no longer control the rage within him.

"Let me in! Leave this little brat to me!"

He sent a voice transmission to Xue Qianyang, and very quickly, a small opening appeared at the top of the Mountain Protection Array; Du Yuntang flew inside, and then the opening closed rapidly, for fear that Zhang Nuo might use it to escape.
