Chapter 238: The Great Battle Descends from Heaven (Part 3)

If he waited just a moment longer, Fu Ling and her Magic Treasure would be buried within the sword formation of the "Lotus Fall"! At a time like this, Zhang Nuo dared not show the slightest negligence; he changed the hand seals several times in rapid succession, swiftly driving the sword formation!

Meanwhile, Fu Ling, trapped inside the sword formation, was in utter misery. Her body was curled up inside her Magic Treasure, and the Demonic Qi on her body surged out continuously to maintain the power of the treasure, but her output of Demonic Qi was simply not proportional to the power of the attacks within the sword formation!

"Rip!"

A tiny crack suddenly appeared on the surface of the Magic Treasure wrapping Fu Ling, which scared her out of her wits. The Magic Treasure was her last straw; if even this were destroyed, she would be completely exposed within the sword formation, and even a fool could guess the consequences.

Just at this moment, Gui Xiao let out an angry roar, blasted the Blood Corpse far away, and with his escape light surging, he lunged toward Zhang Nuo.

The sword formation had already formed, and trying to destroy it from the outside was almost impossible, so only by killing the person who activated the sword formation could Fu Ling be saved!

Gui Xiao understood this better than anyone. Without any hesitation, he slapped the small shield in front of him with one hand, and the black skull shot out from the surface of the shield toward Zhang Nuo once again.

This time, the Kuluotou had almost turned into a streak of black light, reaching Zhang Nuo in the blink of an eye! Zhang Nuo, who was concentrating on driving the sword formation, was caught off guard and broke into a cold sweat; the hand seal he was holding nearly slipped.

At the critical moment, a flash of yin energy passed through his brow, and then a pair of butterfly wings burning with crimson flames sprouted from his back!

"Whoosh!"

Like a gust of wind, Zhang Nuo left an afterimage in place and strangely flew dozens of feet away! This time, the speed was so fast that it was almost comparable to Instant Movement!

Gui Xiao was greatly shocked, not expecting Zhang Nuo's instantly activated speed to be so fast! By the time he wanted to attack Zhang Nuo again, the distance between the two had already been widened, and it would be impossible to achieve the same effect as before!

Glancing at Fu Ling in the "Lotus Fall" sword formation, Gui Xiao revealed a look of regret! A dignified Golden Core Middle Stage cultivator was actually going to be killed by a young early-stage cultivator! This was simply too hard to accept!

At the same time, several cultivators of the Four Great Sects in the distance also saw everything that had happened here and shouted loudly one by one. Killing an opponent's Golden Core Stage cultivator on the battlefield would not only lower the enemy's morale but also weaken their combat power!

At this moment, many cultivators within the Four Great Sects felt admiration for Zhang Nuo; his fast cultivation speed, strange techniques, and sharp Magic Treasures in his hands all made him an object of their worship!

The Demon Emperor, who was fighting Nanxuan Laozu, suddenly felt that the atmosphere in the battle was wrong. With a sweep of his Divine Sense, he discovered that Fu Ling was trapped by some kind of sword formation and was in imminent danger!

There were fewer and fewer available Golden Core Stage cultivators on the Five Great Demon Mountains now, and he could not just watch Fu Ling fall. However, the Nanxuan Laozu in front of him was also very difficult to deal with, making it impossible for him to break away to save her!

In his desperation, the Demon Emperor's figure flickered, and a blurry figure flashed out from his body. Once materialized, it was none other than the Demon Emperor's External Incarnation!

Because this External Incarnation had been entangled by Zhuge An and the others at the Dark Swamp previously, it had not fully recovered even now. But facing Fu Ling being trapped, the Demon Emperor had to use this External Incarnation again.

Just as he released the External Incarnation, his own cultivation was also affected to some extent! After all, it had been separated from the main body and had taken away a portion of his cultivation!

What kind of person was Nanxuan Laozu? Having lived for such a long age, he was extremely shrewd. He discovered the same scene, and if Zhang Nuo could kill Fu Ling, the Four Great Sects' chances of winning would increase by a few points. He originally did not want to let the Demon Emperor's External Incarnation go to the rescue, but when he discovered that the Demon Emperor's cultivation had weakened slightly after splitting off the External Incarnation, he was suddenly filled with wild joy!

If he could take advantage of this time when the Demon Emperor's cultivation was weakened to kill him, this great battle would undoubtedly be won by the Tianjiang Plain!

Thinking of this, Nanxuan Laozu stopped blocking the External Incarnation. The white-as-jade White Disc in front of him flashed with spiritual light and attacked the Demon Emperor's main body even more fiercely!

When experts trade blows, even the slightest flaw will give the opponent an opportunity. The Demon Emperor was deeply aware of this. The difference in cultivation between him and Nanxuan Laozu was not much, but splitting off the External Incarnation to save Fu Ling was a move of pure helplessness! At the very least, he still needed this woman's assistance for now!

The moment the External Incarnation appeared, it rushed toward Fu Ling's direction. With its Nascent Soul Stage escape speed, it reached above the "Lotus Fall" sword formation in just a few flashes.

At this time, the sword formation was at its peak; with just a little more time, Fu Ling would surely die! However, the appearance of the Demon Emperor's External Incarnation made everyone's hearts sink! No matter how powerful Zhang Nuo's sword formation was, it was unlikely to block his attack.

Sure enough, the External Incarnation opened its mouth wide, and a mass of Demonic Qi as black as ink was spat out. At the same time, this Demonic Qi quickly dissolved into the sword formation. The originally snow-white "lotus flower" instantly turned pitch black! The humming sound in the sword formation also quieted down a lot.

The previously raging sword Qi seemed to be suppressed by something and began to circulate in the formation very slowly. Seeing that the opportunity was ripe, the Demon Emperor's External Incarnation reached into the sword formation, rescued Fu Ling, and then quickly fled, stopping in the distant sky.

Zhang Nuo felt a surge of anxiety. The cooked duck had flown away; he was on the verge of killing Fu Ling, but he never expected the Demon Emperor to intervene halfway. It was truly a wasted effort! It would be difficult to have such an opportunity again!

However, what happened next made everyone laugh and cry! Fu Ling crawled out from inside the Magic Treasure and reached out to grab a red bellyband.

A bellyband was a woman's intimate garment. This bellyband of Fu Ling's was a Magic Treasure with strong defensive power. It should have been worn on her body to prevent the Magic Treasure from breaking her physical body, but the moment she was trapped by the "Lotus Fall" sword formation, she had no other Magic Treasures to deploy, so she had no choice but to release her intimate red bellyband.

"Haha! A dignified Sect Leader of the Wushuang Sacred Demon Mountain actually had her bellyband beaten out! It's hilarious!"

"Indeed! Looking at the color of that bellyband, it really is alluring!"

Among the Four Great Sects, no one knew who it was, but someone used a Mysterious Technique to shout loudly! Immediately, almost everyone on the entire battlefield heard it, and others echoed the sentiment. In fact, the bellyband was deployed by Fu Ling herself, not beaten out by Zhang Nuo; the cultivator said this just to humiliate her!

For a time, many people's gazes turned toward Fu Ling. Some male cultivators' gazes were incomparably fiery! This made Fu Ling's face flush, and she wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into!

Being mocked by so many people was even more terrifying than killing her directly! A Sect Leader of a Demon Mountain having her bellyband exposed in full view of everyone—how many women could endure such humiliation?

The mocking laughter from the Four Great Sects rose one after another, wave after wave! Many male cultivators even swept their bodies over Fu Ling with playful gazes, and some even swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva!

Fu Ling was not bad-looking to begin with, and combined with her fair face and the red bellyband held in her hand, it made people's imaginations run wild!

"Zhang Nuo! If I, this Sect Leader, don't kill you today, I'll take your surname!"

Fu Ling had never suffered such humiliation. In a fit of rage, she put the red bellyband into her Storage Bag. With a movement of her Divine Sense, the "Demon Snake Awl" from afar flew to her side. Gritting her silver teeth, she rushed toward Zhang Nuo. This time, she was prepared to die; even if she had to perish together with him, she would kill Zhang Nuo!

"If you take my surname, wouldn't you become my person? I'm afraid I can't accept that!"

Knowing full well that Fu Ling was speaking in anger, Zhang Nuo deliberately added this sentence to add fuel to the fire, which made the surrounding cultivators laugh even more wildly!

Fu Ling was already extremely furious, and upon hearing this, she became even more incensed. Her entire pretty face became distorted with shame and anger; she no longer looked like a Sect Leader at all, simply like a madwoman!

This was exactly the effect Zhang Nuo wanted. The angrier the opponent, the more they would lose their reason! Flaws would appear frequently! This also gave him another chance to kill Fu Ling.

However, although his idea was good, it did not succeed. As a bystander, Gui Xiao naturally understood Fu Ling's mood at this moment. Seeing her rush toward Zhang Nuo regardless of everything, he was shocked. In this state, Fu Ling could not possibly be Zhang Nuo's match!

First of all, she had lost a step in terms of a clear head! Gui Xiao's figure flashed; before Fu Ling could arrive, he had already attacked Zhang Nuo's vicinity, shaking the Bronze Bell in his hand, and a black beam of light shot over.

Zhang Nuo had intended to deal with Fu Ling with all his might, but seeing Gui Xiao make a move, he cursed him bitterly in his heart, then dodged the attack with the butterfly wings on his back.

"Fellow Daoist Fu, calm down!"

Blocking Fu Ling with his body, Gui Xiao shouted in a deep voice. This sentence was like a thunderclap in Fu Ling's mind, causing her raging thoughts to stop instantly.

Given her cultivation and composure, she rarely fell into such a situation as today. Once she calmed down slightly, she realized that her recklessness just now was wrong and that she had inadvertently fallen into Zhang Nuo's trick again.

"If the two of us join forces, can we not kill him? Why be like this!"

Seeing Fu Ling soften, Gui Xiao continued.

Zhang Nuo licked his somewhat dry lips. Looking at Fu Ling's appearance, she should have calmed down. This matter had become even more troublesome!

He had used almost all his Magic Treasures just now, yet he still hadn't killed Fu Ling. Now, it had backfired, causing two Demon heads to be determined to kill him! It was truly counterproductive!

A prompt suddenly came from the mind of the Demon Emperor's External Incarnation in the sky. Without thinking, he rushed toward the main body. In just a short moment, the Demon Emperor could no longer hold on! So he immediately recalled the External Incarnation!
