Chapter 257: The Sea Flood Dragon Clan

Zhang Nuo's Fast Sword struck like lightning, and because the Sea Flood Dragon had previously charged toward him at extreme speed, dodging was impossible. Just as the three white threads were about to strike his body, the Sea Flood Dragon's rapidly charging form came to an abrupt halt.

At the same time, it opened its large mouth, its throat rolled rapidly, and it let out a roar that shook the heavens and the earth.

"Awooo!"

The moment the sound escaped, accompanied by waves of sonic energy, the three Flying Swords that had been charging toward it at high speed were forcibly stopped in mid-air by these sound waves. After the spiritual light dissipated, the true appearance of the Flying Swords was revealed. However, the sound waves did not stop there.

Spreading all the way, they rushed toward Zhang Nuo's body! With a slight frown, Zhang Nuo could have easily dodged this attack, but he did not do so. Instead, he straightened his figure, and a sheet of crimson flames emerged from his body, wrapping his entire person within them.

"Hum!" A dull sound of impact between air currents rang out. Zhang Nuo's figure was knocked back over twenty zhang by the invisible sound waves, but with the Red Glow Fire protecting his body, he was not harmed in the slightest.

This time, it was not just Zhang Nuo who was shocked; even the cultivators of the Four Great Sects could not help but gasp. If a mere roar could possess such great offensive power, it seemed this demonic beast called the Sea Flood Dragon was no simple matter.

"Humble human! If you dare to obstruct my affairs again, I will let you die!"

After the roar, seeing Zhang Nuo knocked so far away, a look of smugness appeared on the Sea Flood Dragon's face, and in its words, it did not regard the crowd in the slightest.

"Hmph! With only these petty tricks, you dare call yourself a powerhouse of the Sea Flood Dragon Clan? It's truly laughable!"

Zhang Nuo's anger was ignited. His expression sank slightly, and after summoning the three Flying Swords back with one hand, he looked at the Sea Flood Dragon with disdain and spoke.

"You..."

What the Sea Flood Dragon disliked most was others questioning its strength. Immediately, it let out a ferocious laugh, and its pair of fists clenched, making a "clacking" sound.

"You stinking demonic beast! Have you seen the power of us human cultivators? With just this bit of ability, stop embarrassing yourself!"

Li Xue seized this powerful opportunity and kept adding fuel to the fire, which made the Sea Flood Dragon even more furious!

"Stinking girl, don't let me catch you!"

The exasperated Sea Flood Dragon swung its fists and charged toward Li Xue again. However, Li Xue's movement technique was like a ghost's and truly remarkable; in a few flashes, she hid behind Zhang Nuo again.

"Whoosh!"

The Sea Flood Dragon's punch had been aimed at Li Xue, but the opponent's figure was too fast, and she had suddenly hidden behind Zhang Nuo. The demonic beast could not retract its move in time, and it looked like it was about to strike Zhang Nuo.

This time, Zhang Nuo was truly enraged. The crimson flames surging on his body swept out, forming a crimson fire shield in front of him!

"Boom!" The Sea Flood Dragon's fist, wrapped in green light, slammed right into the fire shield. After a violent tremor, the fire shield formed by the Red Glow Fire shattered, turning into fragments of firelight that were absorbed into Zhang Nuo's body.

"You go too far!"

Zhang Nuo let out a long howl. As he flicked his sleeves, dozens of white lights flashed out. Then, his other hand performed several hand seals in succession. With a few "Awoo" dragon roars, the spirit-infused Flying Swords turned into several Silver Dragons in the blink of an eye. The moment they surged forward, they caused ripples to spread through the surrounding space.

Being so close to Zhang Nuo and having just exhausted the force of its move, the Sea Flood Dragon had no defenses. Its figure retreated rapidly. It pressed the lead dragon directly to the ground with one hand, then used its hand as a foot to support itself on the ground, and its entire body kicked upward.

"Boom! Boom!"

With its toes trailing faint green light, the Sea Flood Dragon kicked out twice in succession, kicking the two Flying Swords that had turned into dragons far away. Finally, it pushed off the ground with one hand to leap back several zhang, joined its hands together, and heavily blasted the last Silver Dragon away.

This time, the Sea Flood Dragon's actions were almost done in one breath, clean and neat, without any hesitation. Even Zhang Nuo could not help but be shocked!

To what extent was the opponent's body tempered that it could contend with spirit-infused Flying Swords using only its physical body? This was something that perhaps even Xiao Zhengxing, who focused on Body Refining, could not achieve.

Nanxuan Laozu's snow-white eyebrows twitched slightly, and his expression instantly turned ugly. It seemed the prestige of the Sea Flood Dragon Clan was not for nothing; this demonic beast calling itself the Sea Flood Dragon was enough to stand alone against a Golden Core Late Stage cultivator, and it was even superior to human cultivators.

However, the matter did not end there. Zhang Nuo moved his Divine Sense, gathered the knocked-away Flying Swords back to his side, and with a sudden flip of his hand, he brought out the Heaven-Turning Seal.

"Zhang Nuo! Stop!"

Seeing Zhang Nuo move to kill, Nanxuan Laozu feared the situation would escalate and hurriedly tried to stop him, but Zhang Nuo acted as if he hadn't heard. He pointed a finger at the Sea Flood Dragon in the void, and the next moment, the Heaven-Turning Seal erupted with Golden Light and charged toward it.

"Go!"

Within his pupils, two intense red flames ignited. Unknown to anyone, the several Flying Swords beside Zhang Nuo were now burning with a layer of Red Glow Fire on their blades. After the sound of air being torn rang out, several fire threads cut through the night sky.

Because it had successfully knocked down all of Zhang Nuo's spirit-infused sword energy earlier, the Sea Flood Dragon had gained confidence. However, it did not know the power of the Red Glow Fire, merely assuming that being wrapped in flames could increase the attack power of the Flying Swords.

"Whoosh!"

Just as the Sea Flood Dragon was paying attention to the Flying Swords, a sound of wind suddenly came from above its head. After scanning with its Divine Sense, it saw a large seal slamming down toward it.

With a strange retreat, a loud "Boom" echoed as the dozens-of-zhang-large Heaven-Turning Seal slammed heavily into the ground, shaking the entire small island slightly.

"Swish! Swish!"

Two sounds of air being torn rang out, and two Flying Swords wrapped in Red Glow Fire charged toward the Sea Flood Dragon, which had just stabilized its figure!

"Get away from me!"

Following the Sea Flood Dragon's angry shout, it swung its fist out. The powerful fist wind forced the two Flying Swords to a halt in mid-air. At the same time, the crimson flames wrapped around the surface of the Flying Swords were scattered into pieces as if they were dry wood being crushed.

Seeing this, a cold sneer appeared on Zhang Nuo's face. He moved his Divine Sense sharply, and the Heaven-Turning Seal that had previously slammed into the ground shot up. Its speed was extremely fast, and after a flip in the air, it arrived above the Sea Flood Dragon's head. This time was different from the last; the bottom of the Heaven-Turning Seal shone with intense Golden Light, and as the Fowen flowed, ten thousand rays of Golden Light poured down, directly covering the Sea Flood Dragon within.

The people of the Four Great Sects all knew the power of Zhang Nuo's Heaven-Turning Seal. The true advantage of this Magic Treasure was not its weight, but the infinite-pressure Golden Light it released.

Clearly, the Sea Flood Dragon had been deceived by the Heaven-Turning Seal's first strike, thinking it was just a Magic Treasure with great impact force. When the seal attacked it for the second time, the demonic beast had no defenses and was directly covered by the ten thousand rays of Golden Light.

"Hmm?"

As soon as the Golden Light touched its body, the Sea Flood Dragon felt a tremendous pressure, as if a small mountain were pressing down on it. Its thoughts turned rapidly, and it immediately guessed that it had fallen into a trap. However, with its tough physical body, breaking out was only a matter of time.

Zhang Nuo would not give it that chance. With a move of his Divine Sense, dozens of Flying Swords wrapped in Red Glow Fire attacked into the Golden Light together.

Despite this, the Sea Flood Dragon still knocked away several, but one of the Flying Swords slashed heavily onto its left arm.

"Hiss!" After a very faint sound, the Flying Sword left a wound only about an inch long on the Sea Flood Dragon's arm. Originally, this small injury would have been nothing to a Sixth-Rank Demonic Beast, but Zhang Nuo's Flying Sword was wrapped in Red Glow Fire—a strange flame that would burn the moment it touched blood!

A small flame followed the Sea Flood Dragon's wound and drilled directly into its body. At this moment, relying on its powerful physical body, the Sea Flood Dragon had already broken free from the coverage of the Heaven-Turning Seal's Golden Light.

It was just about to fly into a rage when a burning pain suddenly came from its left arm, and then this feeling spread throughout the entire arm!

"Not good!"

Feeling the blood in its arm as if it were boiling, and its flesh and skin as if being scorched by intense flames, the Sea Flood Dragon immediately thought of the crimson flames wrapped around the Flying Sword. To save its life, it gripped its left arm with its right hand, gritted its teeth, and let out a fierce shout.

It actually tore its own left arm off by force. With a "slap," it threw it onto the ground. The arm, just detached from its body, "whooshed" and ignited into a raging fire, turning into a pile of ashes in the blink of an eye.

If the Sea Flood Dragon hadn't been decisive and sacrificed one of its arms, its life would likely not have remained. Looking at the arm that had turned to ash, the Sea Flood Dragon felt a lingering fear! What a poisonous and strange flame!

The cultivators of the Four Great Sects were also breaking out in cold sweat; this demonic beast was too ruthless to itself! It hadn't hesitated at all. At the same time, their gazes toward Zhang Nuo were even more astonished. Where did he get the Red Glow Fire that could burn blood?

Legend had it that the flames of the Red Glow Clan were innate and could not be cultivated later! Zhang Nuo was truly a guy who was impossible to fathom!

Having lost an arm, the Sea Flood Dragon was clearly much quieter than before, its arrogant dominance slightly restrained. It had not expected that a mere human Golden Core cultivator could simultaneously master both Body Refining and Magic Treasure techniques. Now that the opponent's cultivation was still low, if he were allowed to grow, he would truly be a terrifying existence.

"What is your name?"

Pointing at Zhang Nuo with his only remaining finger, the Water Flood Dragon asked through gritted teeth.

"Zhang Nuo! You are the very lowly human cultivator you speak of!"

With a slight movement of his Divine Sense, Zhang Nuo withdrew all his Magic Treasures into his body, then stood with his hands behind his back and spoke neither servilely nor overbearingly.

"Good! I will remember you, and my Sea Flood Dragon Clan will also remember you! Kid, there will be a long time ahead; one day, I, Water Flood Dragon, will certainly avenge this severed arm!"

After speaking, the Water Flood Dragon transformed into a streak of cyan light and fled toward the distance. Given Zhang Nuo's personality, he had always preferred to cut weeds and eliminate the roots, but seeing the Water Flood Dragon fleeing so rapidly, he immediately dismissed the thought. After all, in the ocean, it was the other's domain! He would not be able to gain the slightest advantage!
