Chapter 237: The Great Battle Descends from Heaven (Part II)
Facing this kind of attack, Zhang Nuo dared not be the least bit careless; he flicked the Measuring Heaven Ruler in his hand, and the ruler's body instantly elongated, colliding directly with the incoming black Kuluotou.
"Boom!"
The immense force transmitted from the end of the small ruler nearly made him lose his grip! He never expected that a seemingly unremarkable Kuluotou could possess such power!
However, Zhang Nuo's shock did not end there; over there, Fu Ling had also launched an attack, pointing out several incantations out of thin air that merged into the Demon Snake Awl, causing the awl to become enormous, eventually reaching a length of about one zhang! On the surface of the Demon Snake Awl, black Demonic Qi churned incessantly, following the slow rotation of the awl's body.
On the periphery of the Demon Snake Awl, a massive vortex of Demonic Qi formed!
"Go!"
Fu Ling's red lips parted slightly, and as the word "go" left her mouth, despite the Demon Snake Awl's increased size, its speed was not slow in the slightest; with a flash of black light, it streaked toward Zhang Nuo like lightning.
Having long been burning with rage due to the pincer attack from these two, bloodshot veins erupted in Zhang Nuo's eyes; with a low shout and a flick of his robe sleeves, several streaks of white light flashed out, flying at high speed toward the massive Demon Snake Awl.
Several Flying Swords emitted dragon roars in mid-air, and in the blink of an eye, they transformed into several silver Silver Dragons a zhang long! The high-pitched dragon roars resounded through the sky, and with bared fangs and brandished claws, they lunged at the Demon Snake Awl!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Following several loud bangs, the offensive of the Demon Snake Awl was forcibly held back by the Silver Dragons, and its speed was immediately greatly reduced! Zhang Nuo stood in the void and said to Fu Ling with disdain:
"The Sect Leader of Wushuang Sacred Demon Mountain is nothing more than this! No wonder you taught such lousy disciples!"
Zhang Nuo said this to provoke Fu Ling; when people are angry, they make irrational choices, and in such a great battle, making a single wrong decision would affect the final outcome!
Just as Zhang Nuo expected, as soon as Fu Ling heard these words, she was so angry that her fair face turned red; now that Wushuang Sacred Demon Mountain had been destroyed and her beloved disciple killed, all of this was thanks to Zhang Nuo!
Yet now she was being mocked by this little fellow who had only just reached the Foundation Establishment Stage, leaving her with nowhere to hide her old face!
"Zhang Nuo! You arrogant wretch! Today, even if I have to risk my body and soul being destroyed, I will slay you here!"
Fu Ling was truly enraged, and the Demonic Qi on her body soared into the sky; at this moment, there was no trace of a lady left, as if she had just returned from hell.
Her cherry mouth opened, and a mouthful of essence blood sprayed onto the Demon Snake Awl; immediately, this Magic Treasure hummed loudly, and with a forward charge, the offensive that had just been blocked by the Flying Swords was fully restored!
With a "whoosh," it slashed toward Zhang Nuo again! His lips were slightly dry; Zhang Nuo had not expected the opponent's attack in her fury to be even more fierce!
This time he dared not forcibly resist! His figure flashed as he tried to escape! But just at this moment, Gui Xiao, who had witnessed everything, seized the opportunity and quickly cast the Bronze Bell in his hand, simultaneously shooting a black beam of light from the bell, sealing off all the escape routes Zhang Nuo could take.
In this way, Zhang Nuo had Fu Ling's Magic Treasure attack in front and Gui Xiao's Bronze Bell blocking him from behind! He was instantly caught in the middle! Zhuge Qing, who was in the distance, felt something was wrong the moment her Divine Sense perceived it, and when she looked back, she saw that in the space where Zhang Nuo was, the crisscrossing Demonic Qi was almost about to drown him!
"Boom!"
A sound like mountains splitting and earth cracking rang out, and Zhang Nuo's figure staggered, being knocked nearly a hundred zhang away; in front of him, the Heaven-Turning Seal shone with Golden Light, blocking the attacks of the two demons! If not for this, under their pincer attack, he would have surely died!
Despite this, Zhang Nuo's heart was still pounding wildly; his gaze swept over the faces of Fu Ling and Gui Xiao, and he saw that both of them wore ferocious smiles; if attacks like this came just one or two more times, Zhang Nuo would absolutely have no possibility of escaping!
"You two shameless old things!"
Zhang Nuo cursed bitterly! But at the moment, there was no one else who could help him; Zhuge An and several other cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Stage were struggling in the battle! They had no time to come to his aid!
Suddenly, a cold light shot up into the sky from below Fu Ling; the speed of this cold light was like a meteor! Fu Ling was feeling smug about her recent attack when she suddenly felt a surge of Spirit Power from below; without a second thought, she retreated a few steps!
"Whoosh!"
The cold light was very strange; just as it was about to reach Fu Ling, it suddenly stopped! Within the radiance, Zhang Nuo saw a Great Halberd! It was precisely Han Liang's Square Heaven Painted Halberd!
"Fellow Daoist Zhang! I will lend you a hand!"
Just as the Great Halberd stopped in front of Fu Ling, Han Liang's voice transmission entered Zhang Nuo's ears! Upon hearing the familiar voice, a sense of being moved rose from the bottom of Zhang Nuo's heart; he never expected that at such a dangerous moment, Han Liang would actually step in to help him!
"Boom!"
In the time of a single thought, the Square Heaven Painted Halberd suddenly burst open in front of Fu Ling, turning into arcs of electricity that trapped the woman perfectly.
However, with Han Liang's Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation, his attack could not possibly subdue Fu Ling; Zhang Nuo understood this deeply, so he knew he must seize the opportunity while it lasted; he moved his body and first cast out the Heaven-Turning Seal; the seal whistled out, but it did not smash directly at Fu Ling; instead, it flew above her head!
The next moment, Zhang Nuo cast the Measuring Heaven Ruler from his hand; the small ruler split into two in mid-air, then into three, and in the blink of an eye, the sky was filled with silver ruler shadows shining with spiritual light!
All of this happened in the flash of a spark; in almost just a single breath, Zhang Nuo had unleashed all his Magic Treasures; Gui Xiao, who was on the side, was shocked upon seeing this; although Fu Ling's cultivation was not weak, if she were truly hit by these attacks, she would fall just the same; her fate would be no better than Du Yuntang's!
Just as Gui Xiao wanted to rush over to rescue her, suddenly a red figure flashed up from below him, and at the same time, ten Bone Spikes blooming with ghostly blue light attacked him in unison!
Gui Xiao was given a great fright! The one who had rushed up was not a person at all, but a Blood Corpse!
"Fellow Daoist Zhang! I, Gu Yu, have also come!"
Hearing the voice transmission, Zhang Nuo was even more surprised; he had always been at odds with Gu Yu! But he never expected that at the most critical moment, they would also come to help him!
The Blood Corpse temporarily held off Gui Xiao, and Zhang Nuo felt even more confident! His hands formed a strange seal, and the nine Flying Swords beside him flashed and disappeared from where they were!
However, Fu Ling was not an ordinary person! This brief delay was enough for her to find a chance to turn the tables; her delicate body twisted amidst the countless electric arcs, and she escaped like a ghost.
On the ground, Han Liang, with his white hair disheveled, did not expect that his most skilled move with the Square Heaven Painted Halberd would be broken free from by someone!
But just as Fu Ling rushed out of the restraint of the electric arcs, a humming sound came from above her head; this time she was so frightened that her beautiful face lost its color; she saw that above her head, a large seal had appeared from nowhere! Golden Light flowed at the base of the seal, and amidst the flashing of countless Golden Runes, ten thousand rays of Golden Light poured down!
She had long known the fame of Zhang Nuo's Heaven-Turning Seal; if she were truly covered by the Golden Light from the base of the seal, escaping would not be so simple; although Fu Ling could easily break free from Han Liang's restraint, facing the Heaven-Turning Seal, she wouldn't dare to do so even if she were given several times the courage!
With almost no pause, Fu Ling rushed forward again, missing being covered by the Golden Light by only a hair's breadth! Zhang Nuo seemed to have anticipated all of this, a cold sneer appearing at the corner of his mouth! With a movement of his Divine Sense, the sky full of silver ruler shadows smashed down toward Fu Ling like countless meteors!
She gasped! Fu Ling's heart nearly jumped out; with so many ruler shadows, even if just one hit her, it would be impossible for her to survive!
She gritted her teeth! Fu Ling's mind turned rapidly, and the Demon Snake Awl in the distance flashed over! Although the Demon Snake Awl was huge, its speed was so fast that it was almost like an Instant Movement!
"Boom boom!"
Thousands of ruler shadows all struck the Demon Snake Awl, knocking such a behemoth hundreds of zhang away!
From breaking free of Han Liang's electric arc restraint to dodging Zhang Nuo's attacks one after another, Fu Ling did all of this in one breath without any interval; although the distance moved was not far, only she knew the danger involved!
Just when Fu Ling thought that the thousands of ruler shadows were Zhang Nuo's final attack method, nine Flying Swords suddenly appeared in the void beside her!
It was precisely Zhang Nuo using "Instant Sword" to deploy the Flying Swords to her side! As soon as the nine Flying Swords appeared, they shone brightly, and countless sword auras crisscrossed around Fu Ling!
"Not good!"
She thought to herself, and this time Fu Ling was truly desperate! Trying to use movement techniques to escape the encirclement of these nine swords was almost an impossible task!
The Demon Snake Awl had just been knocked far away by Zhang Nuo's Measuring Heaven Ruler, and it was impossible for it to return to rescue its master at this moment! However, Fu Ling was not an ordinary person; despite the urgent situation, she still reacted.
A red light flashed in front of her chest, and something like a red bellyband was cast out by her; as the bellyband wrapped around her, it protected the woman within it. At the same time, Zhang Nuo's "Lotus Fall" Sword Formation was also activated!
The sound of "chi chi" was incessant, and countless sword auras formed a white lotus that was slowly blooming! However, Fu Ling's bellyband Magic Treasure seemed extremely tough; being swept by the sword auras only left a shallow mark on its surface, and it could not harm Fu Ling inside!
Seeing this, Zhang Nuo changed the incantation in his hand, and a humming sound erupted from within the Sword Formation; the attacks of the nine Flying Swords became even more fierce; although they could not harm Fu Ling for now, as time went on, once the white "Lotus" fully bloomed, he believed that no Magic Treasure could protect this Sect Leader of Wushuang Sacred Demon Mountain!
Seeing Fu Ling trapped in the Sword Formation, the pent-up anger in Zhang Nuo's heart was finally released quite a bit; from the very beginning, he had been caught in a pincer attack by her and Gui Xiao, nearly falling! Now that he finally had a chance to counterattack, Zhang Nuo naturally would not give it up.
With a fierce cold snort from his mouth! Inside the Lotus Fall Sword Formation, the sword Qi raged even more violently, while the Magic Treasure enveloping Fu Ling was now shining with a brilliant red light, clearly already unable to hold on much longer!
