Chapter 224: Killing Until the Eyes Turn Red

With a thunderous "Boom—", the massive Heaven-Turning Seal struck exactly upon the eye of the Mountain Protection Array. One could see spirit light flickering and hear continuous explosions as the seal was thrown several hundred feet away by the array's backlash force.

Zhang Nuo's Divine Sense stirred slightly, and he withdrew all his Magic Treasures into his body. Looking up at the light around Wushuang Sacred Demon Mountain that was gradually dissipating, the hope of escape rose greatly in his heart.

"Don't let him run! He is at the end of his rope now! Everyone attack together and avenge Sect Leader Du!"

Xue Qianyang exerted her full power and shouted loudly to the surrounding demon cultivators.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Nuo's expression changed abruptly. This woman was too troublesome; she was like a lingering ghost. Even at this point, she still wanted his life.

Many of the demon cultivators felt fear toward Zhang Nuo, but under Xue Qianyang's instigation, they each revealed their Magic Treasures, preparing to unleash them upon Zhang Nuo.

"Xue Qianyang! Even if I, Zhang, have to throw away my life today, I will slay you here!"

Anger rose from his heart, and malice grew from his daring! Zhang Nuo hated this woman to the core. Although he knew the Spirit Power remaining in his body was limited, he relied on a surge of rage, flapping the Butterfly Wings on his back, leaving an afterimage in mid-air as he charged toward Xue Qianyang.

Knowing she had caused a great disaster, Xue Qianyang moved her body and hid behind Wu Gang, which made Wu Gang curse inwardly! Seeing Zhang Nuo was already close, he was forced by necessity to summon the Blood Mist, hoping to block the opponent.

Just as the Blood Mist appeared, Zhang Nuo flew over in a flash. His mouth opened slightly, and the Heaven-Turning Seal was spat out. With a flash of Golden Light, it scattered the Blood Mist. Wu Gang, who was hidden within, was greatly alarmed. With no time to think, he unleashed a black Magic Blade from his hand.

"Clang!"

After a muffled sound, the Magic Blade struck the bottom of the seal, but what he did not expect was that the Magic Blade was enveloped by the Golden Light at the base of the seal and could not be retrieved at all.

At the same time, the surrounding disciples of the Demon Mountain, seeing the situation was unfavorable, one after another unleashed their Magic Treasures, and amidst the flickering of various lights, they all slashed toward Zhang Nuo.

"Hah!"

With a sharp shout, Zhang Nuo's eyes were blood-red. Regardless of everything, he flicked his sleeves left and right, and two human-shaped Puppets flashed out.

These two Puppets were obtained from a mysterious cultivator's Cave Abode. Since getting them, this was his first time using them. Both Puppets possessed the strength of the Golden Core Middle Stage, and each held two long swords in their hands.

As soon as the Puppets appeared, a faint humming sound emitted from their bodies. At the same time, the long swords in their hands shone with spirit light, and as they charged to both sides, they arrived amidst the crowd of demon cultivators.

"Ah!"

Screams rang out one after another. The Puppets swung their long swords as if entering an empty land, and in the blink of an eye, dozens of demon cultivators fell from their Flying Magic Tools.

Hiding behind Wu Gang, Xue Qianyang's red lips moved, and she swallowed a mouthful of saliva. She had not expected that after Zhang Nuo had fought bitterly with Du Yuntang for so long, he would still have new methods.

With the threats on both sides blocked by the Puppets, Zhang Nuo suddenly let out a roar at Wu Gang!

"Get lost!"

Wu Gang was so frightened that he shivered violently, a chill rising up his spine. His body involuntarily dodged to the side, exposing Xue Qianyang behind him.

Not expecting that a single shout from the opponent would scare Wu Gang away, Xue Qianyang was so terrified that her fair face lost all color, and she felt cold from the tips of her hair to the tips of her toes.

Now, she did not have a single usable Magic Treasure on her; her Storage Bag had been taken by Zhang Nuo earlier. She could only watch helplessly as the youth closed in on her.

"Wu Gang! You..."

In her desperation, Xue Qianyang cast her gaze toward Wu Gang. Her eyes, filled with both shock and anger, were full of pleas for help. However, what she expected even less was that Wu Gang did not even pay her any mind; the light on his Flying Magic Tool flashed, and he fled toward the distant sky.

This time, Xue Qianyang's heart turned completely cold.

"You coward!"

Pointing at the fleeing Wu Gang, she cursed loudly, but it was all to no avail. Wu Gang flew away rapidly without looking back, not wanting to care about anything behind him.

At this moment, among the many demon cultivators, a man rushed out, wanting to save Xue Qianyang. But the moment his figure moved, a long sword from one of the Puppets was unleashed, directly splitting that male cultivator in two!

The fresh blood gushing from his body dyed the sky red, and a pungent, bloody scent slowly spread. Witnessing this scene, Zhang Nuo only let out a cold snort, then moved closer toward Xue Qianyang.

Having seen the previous example, none of the other demon cultivators dared to approach again. Everyone feared for their own safety, and facing two Golden Core Middle Stage Puppets, they were at their wits' end.

Zhang Nuo originally did not want to let Wu Gang go, but Wu Gang was even more troublesome than Xue Qianyang. If pushed too hard, there was no telling what extreme things he might do. So, after thinking it over, Zhang Nuo let him escape and focused on dealing with Xue Qianyang.

At this time, the distance between the two was less than half a foot. Xue Qianyang could even hear Zhang Nuo's heavy breathing. Looking at Zhang Nuo, whose eyes were filled with blood-red, her heart was filled with extreme fear.

"Stinking girl, I hear your fierce reputation is quite large. Today, I will let you witness the methods of this Zhang!"

Squinting his eyes slightly, Zhang Nuo flapped the Butterfly Wings on his back, and with a flash, he arrived right in front of Xue Qianyang. He lifted one hand and slapped the girl's cheek hard.

"Slap!"

After a crisp sound, Xue Qianyang was knocked from the air to the ground. Zhang Nuo followed closely and also landed on the ground. One could see the side of the girl's face that had been struck was swollen high, and blood flowed continuously from the corner of her mouth. However, this woman was quite tough; her beautiful eyes were wide open, glaring at Zhang Nuo.

Suddenly, her palm reached toward her person, as if to take out something. How could Zhang Nuo give her this chance? He flicked his sleeve, and a Flying Sword flashed out, directly piercing through Xue Qianyang's palm!

"Ah!"

A shrill scream rang through the sky. Many Demon Mountain disciples looked down, and fear rose in their hearts. At this moment, no one knew who it was, but the first person steered their Flying Magic Tool and fled.

Once they saw someone slipping away, the demon cultivators in mid-air immediately fled one after another. In the blink of an eye, the vast Wushuang Sacred Demon Mountain was left with only Zhang Nuo and Xue Qianyang.

With a movement of his Divine Sense, Zhang Nuo withdrew the two Puppets and looked at Xue Qianyang with a mocking expression, saying:

"Hmph! Betrayed by your followers and abandoned by your kin! It seems your popularity on the Demon Mountain is not very good!"

Xue Qianyang was still screaming in pain, her sharp voice no longer resembling that of a young girl. Hearing Zhang Nuo's words, she finally noticed the sky above. Apart from the clear blue sky, where was there even a shadow of a fellow sect member?

"Back then, you chased me until I had no road to the sky and no door to the earth. Did you ever think you would have today's end?"

"If you have the ability, kill me with one sword!"

Biting her red lips with her white teeth, Xue Qianyang roared.

"Kill you! I can, but I must make you pay a price!"

With a cold laugh, Zhang Nuo lifted his palm slightly, and suddenly four Flying Swords emerged at once, piercing through Xue Qianyang's four limbs! Fresh blood gushed from the wounds, and the ground was dyed red over a large area.

In extreme pain, Xue Qianyang cursed loudly! She had always used various methods to torture others; when had she ever received such treatment herself?

Hearing the curses, Zhang Nuo was not angry. The pent-up malice in his heart had finally been vented quite a bit. However, for some reason, there was a persistent, violent urge in his mind that made him restless and uneasy!

"Kid Zhang! Calm down!"

Chunyangzi's voice rang out, making Zhang Nuo feel as if he had been struck by lightning. His figure swayed as he recovered from the brutal atmosphere. He looked down at the 'Seven Kill Ring' on his hand; could it be that it was causing this?

Just at this moment, Xue Qianyang's body on the ground stiffened, and then her entire skin erupted in blood-red.

"Severed your own meridians?"

After just a few struggles, Xue Qianyang stopped breathing, and in the blink of an eye, she had perished! Unable to bear Zhang Nuo's torture, she had ended her own life.

With the person he hated most dead, Zhang Nuo did not feel any pleasure; instead, another wave of killing intent rose in his heart.

"Kid Zhang! The 'Evil Qi' on your body is too heavy. If this continues, you won't be able to control it!"

The voice of Chunyangzi sounded once again, but this time, it spoke with great solemnity.

"I understand, Senior; I will control it well in the future!"

After speaking, Zhang Nuo moved his body and flew toward the building complex of Wushuang Sacred Demon Mountain; it was now an empty mountain, and he could take whatever he pleased from within.

Half an hour later, Zhang Nuo flew away from the Demon Mountain, satisfied; his harvest this time was quite bountiful, as the entire Wushuang Sacred Demon Mountain had been almost completely looted by him.

With a flash of light, Zhang Nuo flew away toward the fortress where Nanxuan Laozu was located.

Inside the main hall of Qingnian Demon Mountain, Fu Ling was furious; having heard from the Wushuang Sacred Demon Mountain disciples who had fled there, she learned that Zhang Nuo had not only killed Du Yuntang but had also looted the entire Demon Mountain, and even her most beloved disciple, Xue Qianyang, had ultimately been forced to sever her own meridians and die!

"Zhang Nuo! If I, Fu Ling, do not kill you, I shall not be a human!"

Wang Ji and the others watched this woman throwing a tantrum and all remained silent, secretly thinking about the matter of Du Yuntang; regardless of anything else, the old man Du was a Sect Leader, and to be killed by a mere greenhorn who had just reached the Golden Core stage seemed somewhat unjustifiable.

Especially since he had even utilized the 'Black Crystal Sword' that he had refined for many years. Could Zhang Nuo really be that powerful? That someone at the Golden Core Initial Stage could wipe out a cultivator at the Golden Core Middle Stage?

Throughout the entire main hall, besides the hysterical cursing of Fu Ling, there was only the astonishment of the crowd!

"I want to return to Wushuang Sacred Demon Mountain!"

After a long while, Fu Ling finally calmed down, but as soon as the words left her mouth, they were met with opposition from Wang Ji and the others.

"Fellow Daoist Fu, I understand your feelings at this moment, but Sect Leader Du has already fallen; now, within Qingnian Demon Mountain, we are the only four people left who can support the Mountain Protection Restriction, and if you leave as well, I fear..."

Wang Ji did not finish his sentence, looking at Fu Ling with a slightly darkened expression.

"I don't care! I am going back to the Demon Mountain right now!"

In her rage, Fu Ling could not listen to anyone's words at all, but at this moment, a figure flashed into the main hall, robes fluttering in white; as soon as the few saw this, they immediately stood up to respectfully welcome the arrival!

The originally irritable Fu Ling also became unusually quiet after seeing the person who arrived.

"What does a mere Demon Mountain amount to? Is it more important than the great matter of this Demon Emperor rebuilding his physical body?"

The one who arrived was precisely the External Incarnation of the Demon Emperor; his gaze revealed killing intent, and if it were not for the urgent need for manpower, he might have struck out immediately to destroy Fu Ling.
