Chapter 286: One Ruler, One Sword, One Fist

After making up his mind, Zhang Nuo did not hesitate any longer; gray light flickered over his body as the first layer of the "Immovable Underworld King" was activated before him. He then stood his ground, crossing his hands in front of his chest.

"Bang!"

A muffled sound rang out, and Zhang Nuo's body was pushed back more than two zhang by the force transmitted through the void. However, when everyone looked over, they found the young man still standing there unscathed. His slightly flushed face let out a long breath! If that previous attack had been Miao Chi's fist landing directly, he would not have dared to take it head-on for anything!

Even so, Zhang Nuo took a deep breath. A Nascent Soul cultivator is a Nascent Soul cultivator; even though the Nascent Soul had already dissipated, the power was still terrifyingly great! A single strike through the void had such force; if he had truly been hit by his fist, the consequences would have been unimaginable!

"Good!"

Among the crowd, someone suddenly shouted loudly, which made Miao Chi even more furious! His strike had actually been blocked by a young junior! However, this person was not a reckless man; after his emotions calmed, he pondered for a moment and guessed that Zhang Nuo might be a Dharma-Body Dual Cultivation practitioner.

If he were an ordinary Dharma Cultivator, he would never have been able to withstand this strike of his!

"You've got some skills!"

With a grim gaze fixed on Zhang Nuo, Miao Chi moved both shoulders backward a few times. Faint spiritual light flickered under his feet, and with a "swish," his figure rushed toward Zhang Nuo like a ghost, with rows of afterimages behind him showing his great speed!

Seeing that his opponent was getting serious, Zhang Nuo did not dare to be negligent. With a movement of his Divine Sense, dozens of Flying Swords slashed toward Miao Chi simultaneously. However, the opponent had no intention of dodging at all; he swung his fists, and one could only hear the continuous sound of "boom-boom." Almost at the same time, all dozens of Flying Swords were knocked flying.

In almost just the time of a single breath, Miao Chi rushed to Zhang Nuo's front. He threw both fists out, and biting, fierce wind condensed into a materialized dragon-head shape on the surface of his fists!

"This is Miao Chi's 'Twin Dragons Leaving the Sea'!"

Someone in the crowd exclaimed. This move used a tyrannical body to drive the surrounding air, turning it into a tangible attack. Many cultivators had died under this move, and it was precisely by relying on his tyrannical physical body that Miao Chi had secured his seat as Leader!

Narrowing his eyes, Zhang Nuo stepped back half a step, and then a palm hidden in his robe sleeve suddenly thrust out. "Swish!" A silver light cut through the darkness, with a layer of gray light wrapped around the outside of the silver light.

"Boom!"

Zhang Nuo's "Measuring Heaven Ruler" swung out rapidly, and with just this one strike, it landed solidly on Miao Chi's pair of fists. The gray light and the materialized dragon head dissipated upon contact, but the powerful force released by both in an instant erupted into ripples of energy, spreading toward the surroundings!

Flesh is flesh after all; when it collided with a Magic Treasure, Miao Chi winced in pain. His Nascent Soul was gone, and although he had retained some of his cultivation, it was still far worse than before! Caught off guard and struck by the "Measuring Heaven Ruler," a blood blister immediately rose on the back of his hand!

Having suffered a small loss, Miao Chi's eyes were almost popping out. This brat in front of him was too wicked, suddenly bringing out a Magic Treasure and catching him off guard!

"Give me your life!"

In a fit of rage, Miao Chi's feet let out an explosive sound. With a "rumble," even the earth shook a little. Following the explosion, his movement technique reached its extreme! With a "whoosh," he rushed toward Zhang Nuo again! The surging speed made Zhang Nuo secretly cry out: Not good!

His body suddenly soared into the air, and as his hands pointed repeatedly, several Dharma techniques were cast, all sinking into the Flying Swords before him. The next moment, only a high-pitched dragon roar was heard, and the five spirit-transformed Flying Swords turned into Silver Dragons, pouncing toward Miao Chi with bared fangs and brandished claws!

"Boom-boom!"

Miao Chi was quite savage; relying solely on a pair of fists, he forcibly scattered all five Silver Dragons. Amidst the permeating silver light, he looked up into the air at Zhang Nuo, who was wrapped in escape light! A trace of disdain appeared in his eyes!

Because the Spirit Power in his body was limited, Miao Chi dared not squander it wantonly. As for flying into the sky like Zhang Nuo, he was even further out of reach!

"Miao Chi, you come up here!"

Zhang Nuo seemed to have grasped the opponent's weakness; with a single-handed pointing gesture toward him, he shouted provocatively. Miao Chi's gaze was very cold; he seemed to be looking at Zhang Nuo, but suddenly, his figure reversed, and he lunged fiercely toward Su Haizhen! In his view, there could not be much Spirit Power inside Su Haizhen either, and it should be impossible for her to control escape light!

But something that made Miao Chi's jaw drop happened! He saw the young girl smile softly at him, and then the escape light on her body surged, and she shot straight into the sky, landing near Zhang Nuo!

At this, not only was Miao Chi shocked, but all the cultivators within the Zhai shouted out loud! On Su Haizhen, they could not feel any fluctuation of Spirit Power, yet this girl could still control escape light. What on earth was going on?

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, I will set up an Array to restrict the Spirit Power in Miao Chi's body; you take the opportunity to strike!"

Without waiting for Zhang Nuo's agreement, the girl's jade hand flipped lightly, and a small Array Disk appeared in her palm. Amidst swirling Yin energy, rays of light rolled out, and at the same time, hundreds of Array flags emerged from within. As the brilliance flickered, they all sank into the area around Miao Chi!

After finishing all this, Su Haizhen took one last look at Miao Chi on the ground and sacrificed the Array Disk in her hand as well. After casting a few Dharma techniques, the five-colored glow of the Array Disk flourished, echoing the Array flags that had sunk into the ground. In the blink of an eye, a circular light screen had enclosed Miao Chi inside.

Zhang Nuo sighed helplessly; the girl was too cunning, pushing him down to the ground while she hid in mid-air to watch the battle!

"Guard the Array well!"

After turning his head and saying this to the girl, Zhang Nuo flashed and landed inside the Array. At this moment, Miao Chi's thoughts were spinning non-stop; he could not imagine how the girl had activated the Array without Spiritual Qi? Even more terrifying was that the residual Spirit Power in his body, under the effect of this Array, was moving slowly, like a tortoise!

Looking at Zhang Nuo, every move he made was without the slightest hindrance, as if he were unaffected by the Array! He secretly said to himself: Not good!

Miao Chi tried to pull away to escape the Array, but how could Zhang Nuo give him such an opportunity? With a movement of his Divine Sense, the ten Flying Swords around him quickly merged into one. At the same time, he raised one hand and sacrificed the "Measuring Heaven Ruler." The small ruler's form grew larger in mid-air and struck straight down toward Miao Chi!

No matter how fast his movement technique was, it could not be faster than the attack speed of the "Measuring Heaven Ruler." Feeling a giant object falling above his head, Miao Chi turned around, and a large ruler five zhang in size was smashing down directly at him! The sky-covering large ruler was like a small silver mountain, wrapped in a layer of gray light, falling at an extremely fast speed.

"Hah!"

Letting out a loud shout, Miao Chi forcibly activated the Spirit Power in his Divine Sea, swung his right fist, and slammed it heavily toward the falling giant ruler.

With a loud "rumbling" sound, the five-zhang-large "Measuring Heaven Ruler" was knocked flying by him directly. It flipped in mid-air and hit the light screen, making the entire Array tremble!

However, this was just the beginning. In front of Zhang Nuo, the giant sword, three zhang long and formed by the fusion of ten Flying Swords, hugged the ground and slashed toward Miao Chi with a "whoosh!"

The breath he had just used to swing his fist and knock away the giant ruler had not yet been recovered when a silver giant sword attacked again, which greatly shocked Miao Chi. However, he gritted his teeth, let out another roar, leaped high into the air, and kicked out with both feet from top to bottom against the slashing giant sword!

With another loud "rumbling" sound, Miao Chi used the strength of both feet to forcibly stomp the giant sword into the ground, kicking up dust that filled the sky. Just at this moment, Zhang Nuo narrowed his eyes, a strange smile appeared on his face, Yin energy flashed between his brows, and a pair of Butterfly Wings grew from his back!

The black Butterfly Wings, wrapped in Silver Flame, appeared extremely mysterious. Then, the Butterfly Wings wrapped Zhang Nuo inside, and the next moment, spatial fluctuations arose in the surroundings, and he disappeared from where he was.

In almost just the blink of an eye, behind Miao Chi, spatial fluctuations arose again. Zhang Nuo rushed out from the Butterfly Wings, swung his right fist, and struck heavily toward Miao Chi's back!

The surface of Zhang Nuo's fist was wrapped in a layer of gray light. Countless rays of gray light gathered together, emitting a "chi-chi" sound of breaking through the air. The surrounding air also became miserable, and even the void collapsed to varying degrees wherever the fist passed!

This was the strength exerted by the first layer of the "Immovable Underworld King," and even Zhang Nuo himself felt lingering fear after seeing it! He had not expected that the "Immovable Underworld King" under full exertion would have such power! One could imagine that if he reached the later stages, just lightly swinging a fist could make the void shatter!

Feeling the evil wind behind him, Miao Chi was greatly shocked. He had just blocked Zhang Nuo's Magic Treasure attacks twice in a row, and now the Spirit Power in his body had not yet recovered; how could he defend against this?

The fist Zhang Nuo swung was very fast; in the blink of an eye, it was less than three chi away from Miao Chi's back. The biting fist wind tore the clothes on Miao Chi's back into shreds! Bursts of force swept his skin, leaving it red and swollen.

"Hey!"

Miao Chi could be considered a real man; seeing that there was no hope of dodging, he used his tyrannical physical body to take this strike from Zhang Nuo.

"Bang!"

With a heavy, muffled sound, Zhang Nuo's earth-shattering strike felt like it had hit steel. Miao Chi's back only collapsed slightly, and then his whole person was knocked flying.

Zhang Nuo was horrified! This punch had clearly landed on the opponent's body, but the heavy fist force had not even injured the person's skin. It seemed that for a cultivator who had always focused on Body Refining, after reaching the Nascent Soul Stage, the physical body had already reached a terrifying level!

After rolling on the ground a few times, Miao Chi stood up immediately. On his back, a huge fist print remained there! He shrugged his shoulders a few times, his face revealing an expression of anger and surprise!
