Chapter 231: Obstruction

Such a large amount of Spirit Stones made even Qin Xiaofeng feel a pang of heartache, yet to enter the Trial Ground from the teleportation array, one must use Spirit Stones to activate the Dharma Array. Otherwise, one would have to wait another three hundred years.

The moment the Spirit Stones were embedded into the Dharma Array, the teleportation array immediately emitted a humming sound, and as spiritual light burst forth, a massive pillar of light shot into the sky.

The Demon Emperor, who was in the midst of flying, felt a surge of joy the moment he saw the Chuansong Guangzhu; he had been waiting for this day for a long time. As long as he could return to the Demon Emperor Tomb, he could retrieve his many Magic Treasures and restore his former divine might!

Thinking of this, his flight speed increased significantly as he rushed toward the Chuansong Guangzhu, while at the same time, Nanxuan Laozu and Zhang Nuo also witnessed this scene!

"Don't let him get in!"

Nanxuan Laozu felt anxious; seeing the Demon Emperor increase his speed, he immediately raised a hand without a second thought and grabbed forcefully at the void in front of him.

The next moment, the void directly above the flying Demon Emperor suddenly shattered, and a large white hand instantly struck out from within the void.

"Damn it!"

As soon as there was a disturbance in the void above, the Demon Emperor sensed that something was wrong; his body sank abruptly, and he thrust his hands upward!

"Boom!"

After a loud bang, the attack launched by Nanxuan Laozu through the void landed squarely on the Demon Emperor, but fortunately, the Demon Emperor had already been on guard, so he was merely knocked to the ground without sustaining any injuries.

He stood up and was about to rush toward the Chuansong Guangzhu, but Nanxuan Laozu's second wave of attacks arrived; waving his sleeves repeatedly, several white discs flew out, flashing as they arrived before the Demon Emperor in the blink of an eye.

"Hum!"

The discs shone with bright white light, and after a soft hum, the Fowen on their surfaces flowed. In the blink of an eye, beams of light as thick as an arm shot out from the surfaces of the discs; these beams connected to one another, instantly forming a cage that trapped the Demon Emperor within.

Just as the light-beam cage was formed, the Demon Emperor's figure flickered, and a silhouette shot out nearly a hundred zhang away; the trail blurred slightly before solidifying, and it was none other than the Demon Emperor's External Incarnation.

As soon as this External Incarnation appeared, it dove headfirst into the Chuansong Guangzhu and vanished without a trace. Nanxuan Laozu had never expected that despite all his calculations, he had missed the Demon Emperor's External Incarnation. Although the main body was temporarily trapped by him, that External Incarnation was fully capable of entering the Demon Emperor Tomb alone.

"Zhang Nuo, you enter the Trial Ground and stop the Demon Emperor's External Incarnation!"

Upon hearing these words from Nanxuan Laozu, Zhang Nuo's head buzzed; what a joke, although it was only an External Incarnation, it still possessed the cultivation of the Nascent Soul Stage.

Seeming to see through Zhang Nuo's worry, the old ancestor continued:

"When Zhuge An and the others arrive later, I will have them go in to help you!"

Biting the bullet and agreeing, Zhang Nuo flapped the Butterfly Wings on his back and flew toward the Chuansong Guangzhu.

"Stop him!"

Inside the light cage, the Demon Emperor shouted loudly at Qin Xiaofeng and Shi Liang in front of the teleportation array. Although he did not know who Zhang Nuo was, the fact that he could match the flight speed of a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator while only at the Golden Core Stage was enough to prove his strength.

Shi Liang flipped his palm, and a Flying Sword appeared in his hand, but before he could unleash his Flying Sword, Zhang Nuo activated his Four Spirit Seas simultaneously, and after flapping the Butterfly Wings on his back several times, he merged into the Dharma Array like a gentle breeze.

Qin Xiaofeng and Shi Liang looked at each other in surprise; it was not that they did not want to stop Zhang Nuo, but the opponent's flight speed was too fast, and before they could even unleash their Magic Treasures, he had already entered the Chuansong Guangzhu.

"You..."

The Demon Emperor stomped his feet in anger, a faint look of fury appearing on his face. He had been so afraid that Zhang Nuo would break in that he had warned the two to stop him beforehand, yet he had not expected that Zhang Nuo would still get in. If it weren't for the fact that he had no Magic Treasures on him, how could he have been trapped by Nanxuan Laozu's light cage?

At this time, Nanxuan Laozu also arrived above the Demon Emperor and glanced down, only to see the Demon Emperor glaring with murderous intent, his fists clenched so tightly they 'creaked', wishing he could bite him to death in one go.

"I never thought that the dignified Demon Emperor would actually be trapped by me!"

With a cold laugh, the old ancestor looked at the light cage with disdain.

"Nanxuan Laozu! If I had a Magic Treasure in hand, how could I let you be so rampant!"

"Magic Treasure? You won't have the chance to see one again!"

As he spoke, Nanxuan Laozu raised one hand, and a disc flew out. The disc spun rapidly in front of him, and in an instant, sharp blades grew on the edges of the disc; with a flash of light, it slashed toward the Demon Emperor in the light cage.

Just as the disc was about to reach the light cage, a black radiance a zhang long shot out from Qin Xiaofeng's body. After a 'humming' tremor, the disc was knocked far away by the black radiance before it finally stopped.

Nanxuan Laozu's expression shifted as he looked at Qin Xiaofeng, who was to the side of the teleportation array. He saw that this person had a smile on his face, and even when facing a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, there was no sign of fear!

Knowing that the other party was from the 'Great Underworld Mansion', Nanxuan Laozu suppressed the anger in his heart.

"I advise you not to interfere!"

"Why shouldn't I? The Demon Emperor is useful to me, so naturally, I won't watch you kill him!"

Facing Nanxuan Laozu's threat, Qin Xiaofeng remained elegant, speaking lightly with a half-smile, as if the two were just friends chatting.

"Don't think that just because you are from the 'Great Underworld Mansion', this old man wouldn't dare to touch you!"

Being looked down upon like this by a Golden Core Stage cultivator, Nanxuan Laozu became furious. Regardless of anything else, he was a figure who sat in command of a sect; being teased by a junior was something he could not let slide.

"Oh? You also know of the 'Great Underworld Mansion'?"

Qin Xiaofeng beckoned with one hand, retracting the zhang-long black radiance he had unleashed earlier. The black radiance curled up like a small pet, standing quietly by his side.

Since Nanxuan Laozu knew he was from the 'Great Underworld Mansion' and still uttered such harsh words, Qin Xiaofeng had to be on guard! Even though he spoke lightly, facing a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator still made him feel somewhat frantic.

Staring at Qin Xiaofeng, Nanxuan Laozu unleashed the disc again, attacking the Demon Emperor in the light cage. The Demon Emperor looked coldly at the Magic Treasure attacking him, sneering on his face without even putting up a defensive stance.

With another 'humming' tremor, this attack was once again blocked by Qin Xiaofeng!

"You..."

Nanxuan Laozu was furious; this was clearly not taking him seriously at all.

"You are courting death!"

With an angry, long howl and a wave of his sleeves, five white, jade-like discs appeared in front of Nanxuan Laozu, and with a flash of light, all of them slashed toward Qin Xiaofeng.

In the current situation, he could no longer care about so much; even at the risk of offending the 'Great Underworld Mansion', he had to kill the Demon Emperor.

At this time, the Demon Emperor in the light cage watched all of this with cold eyes, but in his heart, he was pleased that Qin Xiaofeng and Nanxuan Laozu were fighting. If one of them died at the other's hands, that would be even better; he could then take the items in the Fenzhong and escape.

The Black Book held a great temptation for him; back in the day, he had exhausted his entire life trying to unravel its mysteries. Compared to the current Five Great Demon Mountains, the Demon Emperor would rather give up the Demon Mountains and choose the Black Book.

"Boom, boom!"

Several loud bangs rang out as Qin Xiaofeng and Shi Liang joined forces to block the discs sent by Nanxuan Laozu. Just from the brief contact, the two felt that the opponent's cultivation was unfathomable and definitely not something the two of them, as Golden Core Stage cultivators, could rival.

Qin Xiaofeng was doing better, but Shi Liang's complexion had already changed drastically, and he was frantically unleashing many Magic Treasures all at once.

"I want to see just how formidable a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator really is!"

As he spoke, Qin Xiaofeng moved and flew into mid-air, pointing remotely at Nanxuan Laozu. The black radiance beside him rushed over with a 'whoosh', and halfway there, it writhed, instantly transforming into a giant ferocious tiger.

The tiger was pitch-black and shiny all over; with a long, 'roaring' howl, it pounced toward the top of Nanxuan Laozu's head.

"Get lost!"

I saw Nanxuan Laozu lightly flick his robe sleeves, and a patch of cyan light shimmered out; with a boom, this wisp of light struck the black fierce beast, sending it flying dozens of zhang away.

However, the next moment, what surprised Nanxuan Laozu was that after landing, the fierce beast's body trembled slightly and actually split into two, becoming two! The sound of "Awoo, awoo" rang incessantly in his ears as they pounced toward him once more.

His pupils constricted sharply; having lived for so long, this was the first time he had ever seen such a Magic Treasure, one that could transform into the shape of a demonic beast and automatically split its original body when attacked.

To verify his guess, Nanxuan Laozu moved his Divine Sense, and five White Discs flashed before the two black fierce tigers, slashing down in unison to strike them both to the ground again.

Sure enough, when the two black fierce tigers stood up, they immediately split into five identical bodies!

"Keep hitting! The more you hit, the more of them there will be!"

Qin Xiaofeng wore a cold sneer, floating in mid-air with his arms crossed, assuming the posture of someone watching a good show. Below, the Demon Emperor trapped in the light cage looked at the several black fierce tigers with a face full of astonishment.

This kind of Magic Treasure was also something he was seeing for the first time; it was too bizarre. He believed that perhaps the Human Realm would not possess such a perverted thing; perhaps this was a Magic Treasure from another realm.

As they were continuously struck down by Nanxuan Laozu, the number of black fierce tigers had increased to over a hundred; looking at everything below, his heart churned.

Suddenly, Nanxuan Laozu thought of a method; since there was no way to deal with the opponent's Magic Treasure, he could completely start with the cultivator himself! Having made up his mind, Nanxuan Laozu's figure flickered as he charged toward Qin Xiaofeng.

At the same time, he reached out with five fingers and grabbed from afar; the void around Qin Xiaofeng shattered, and a large white hand stretched out, grabbing directly toward his body.

If he were truly caught by that large hand, let alone a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, even if it were a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, their bones would be broken and tendons snapped instantly!

However, what surprised Nanxuan Laozu was that Qin Xiaofeng actually stood motionless, allowing the large white hand to grab at him! Just at this moment, from beneath Qin Xiaofeng, a large black hand surged upward, grabbing and scattering the white light hand that Nanxuan Laozu had projected through the void! The light hand shattered and dissipated into fragments of spiritual light.
