Chapter 291: A Rage That Lifts the Cap (Bonus chapter for red packets and gold medals!)

The crowd stared in terror at the large hole in the roof of the Stone House. They had heard before that Zhang Nuo could easily utilize Spirit Power, but they had never imagined a scene like this; deep at the bottom of the Mi Hai Vortex, he seemed completely unrestricted, able to ride his escape light and fly with reckless abandon.

Su Haizhen's pretty face tilted slightly upward; she had never seen this youth so indignant. Yet, thinking it over carefully, Zhang Nuo could not be blamed for his anger. Seeing an opportunity to leave this place, only for someone to ignore it and even kill the people he had sent! Who here could be Zhang Nuo's opponent now? It seemed Tang Xing was about to be in big trouble.

The escape light streaked across the boundless darkness. After flying for a period of time, a small Stone Village appeared within Zhang Nuo's Divine Sense. His expression was grim, and the surging rage in his chest was like oil poured onto a fire, impossible to calm!

The "Hundred-Man Formation-Breaking Style" that Su Haizhen had researched was the only way to leave this place. If the overall plan were ruined because of one person's personal spite, that was something he absolutely would not allow!

"Whoosh!" Just by glancing at the situation in the Zhai, Zhang Nuo landed inside without a second thought. At that moment, several guards on the city wall felt a powerful fluctuation of Spirit Power sweep past them, yet they hadn't even seen what the person looked like.

"Someone has broken in!"

Shouting loudly, the entire Zhai immediately became boisterous. Who was so bold as to dare break into the territory under Tang Xing's jurisdiction!

The moment Zhang Nuo's feet touched the ground, dozens of cultivators immediately surrounded him. These people held weapons in their hands and rushed up, wanting to capture him, but suddenly feeling the powerful Spiritual Pressure radiating from Zhang Nuo, they couldn't help but retreat several steps! Each of their faces was filled with extreme fear.

At the bottom of the Mi Hai Vortex, to still be able to release such terrifying Spiritual Pressure, what kind of existence was the youth before them?

"Let me see who it is!"

A rough voice rang out. At this, the surrounding cultivators parted to the left and right, and a man who looked to be about fifty years old walked over. This person was not tall, but his spirit was very vigorous. His eyes were radiant, his gait was steady, and the faint fluctuations of Spirit Power radiating from his body indicated a not-insignificant level of cultivation.

Zhang Nuo's gaze slanted, his Divine Sense sweeping over the man, and he knew what to expect in his heart. This person's cultivation was at most at the Golden Core Late Stage, but at the bottom of the Mi Hai Vortex, his cultivation would likely be greatly discounted!

"You are Tang Xing?"

Without even looking the other party in the eye, Zhang Nuo squeezed these words through his teeth, the rage in his heart suppressed again and again!

"That's right! It is me! And who are you?"

"Zhang Nuo!"

Seeing that the youth before him was extremely arrogant, Tang Xing was also highly displeased. When he heard Zhang Nuo's name, he laughed coldly.

"I wondered who it was? So it's that greenhorn who killed Miao Chi!"

Following Tang Xing's laughter, the surrounding cultivators also began to laugh. No matter how one looked at the youth before them, he only appeared to be in his twenties; even if his cultivation wasn't weak, how strong could he really be? Compared to Tang Xing, who had entrenched himself here for decades, he was simply a minor wizard in the presence of a great one!

Ignoring the reactions of those around him, Zhang Nuo narrowed his eyes, silver flames surging within his pupils.

"Why did you not agree to my plan, and why did you kill the people I sent?"

"Plan? What kind of bullshit plan? Do you take me for a three-year-old child? So many big shots are trapped here and can't get out, and you think you can? I think you're just looking for an excuse to weaken the strength of my Zhai, aren't you?"

Curling his lips, Tang Xing didn't take Zhang Nuo seriously at all. Although the Spiritual Pressure on the other party was not weak, in his view, it was all fake, meant to scare people!

"Exactly! Why should our Leader believe your words? Who do you think you are!"

A cultivator to Tang Xing's left, who was very good at bootlicking, chimed in. But before his words had even faded, a figure flashed before his eyes, and his face was struck by a heavy slap!

"Ouch!"

The man let out a miserable shriek. Just a moment ago he had been as arrogant as a mangy dog, but in the blink of an eye, all the teeth in his mouth had fallen out, and half his face was swollen like a pig's head. Blood flowed from his mouth and nose, and he clutched his struck face with one hand, unable to say a word for a long time.

"You..."

The others hadn't seen the scene just now clearly, but Tang Xing had seen it perfectly. Zhang Nuo had used an extremely fast movement technique to rush to the man's side, then swung his palm and slapped him, and after doing all this, he had quickly returned to his original spot.

Only now did this Leader Tang realize the severity of the matter. It seemed this kid named Zhang Nuo was no pushover; he could beat his subordinate right in front of him with a mere wave of his hand!

"Tang Xing, I will ask you one last time: will you join forces with us?"

Although Zhang Nuo was angry, the "Hundred-Man Formation-Breaking Style" specifically required cultivators with deep cultivation; one more person meant one more glimmer of hope!

Having lost face in front of so many subordinates, Tang Xing naturally would not easily yield. His eyebrows stood upright, murderous intent flared in his eyes, and his blood-red pupils stared fixedly at Zhang Nuo.

"Kid! You're too arrogant! Everyone, attack! Take him down!"

With a wave of his hand, the surrounding cultivators immediately surged forward. The last shred of patience in Zhang Nuo's heart was shattered. Sensing the dozens of people rushing out with his Divine Sense, he let out a cold snort from his nose, and then, with a light flick of his robe sleeves, thousands of silver ruler shadows flew out from within.

For a time, cries and wails merged into one. The cultivators who had just been shouting as they charged were now lying all over the ground. However, Zhang Nuo did not kill them; among these people, there were still a few who could be used! Although his Spirit Power was currently insufficient, as long as he provided enough resources, they could still be used for the "Hundred-Man Formation-Breaking Style."

With just one move, he had knocked down dozens of cultivators. Tang Xing's heart jolted; it seemed the other party's cultivation was not a bluff. Cold sweat broke out on his palms; this time, he might have provoked someone he shouldn't have!

With a flip of his hand, the numerous ruler shadows of the Measuring Heaven Ruler finally returned to Zhang Nuo's palm, transforming into a small silver ruler!

"Are you going to make me do it, or will you end it yourself?"

In Zhang Nuo's cold gaze, there was no emotion. With a turn of his body, the small ruler in his hand pointed abruptly at Tang Xing!

"What an arrogant tone!"

Even if you lose the fight, you don't lose your nerve. Tang Xing was, after all, a hegemon of one side. Although he knew Zhang Nuo's strength was not weak, since it was death either way, he might as well fight for it!

Opening his mouth, an object wrapped in spiritual light was spat out by Tang Xing. This object looked like a small red pagoda, but before the other party could attack, Zhang Nuo made his move to kill.

With a "whoosh," the Measuring Heaven Ruler rapidly extended in his hand, striking directly at Tang Xing's body!

"Boom!"

The small red pagoda directly blocked Zhang Nuo's attack. In Tang Xing's view, no matter how strong the opponent was, he wouldn't be able to do anything to the pagoda. But a scene that shocked him occurred: the moment the small red pagoda made contact with the Measuring Heaven Ruler, a fierce light erupted between the two, and then the small ruler continued to extend, pushing the small pagoda back several dozen zhang!

Just as Tang Xing was slightly startled and wanted to react, Zhang Nuo's figure was even faster, arriving right in front of him in a flash!

"Dare to ruin my plans? You're courting death!"

His movement technique was strange; in almost the blink of an eye, Zhang Nuo was already face-to-face with Tang Xing. A chill rose in his heart, and Tang Xing almost screamed out loud. Having dominated the bottom of the Mi Hai Vortex for decades, never had a cultivator been able to force him into such a state!

He retreated rapidly, and at the same time, his Divine Sense moved, urging the small red pagoda to fly back quickly to save him. But Zhang Nuo would not give him this chance; only by quickly beheading this person could he make the cultivators in the Zhai fear him, which would be of great use in subduing the crowd.

Abruptly raising his right hand, a bloodstain split open in his palm, and following a series of "crack, crack" explosive sounds, a giant tree several dozen zhang in size emerged from within.

The canopy of the "Pure Underworld Divine Tree" was incomparably massive. It twisted slightly, and immediately formed a giant palm. With a "whoosh," it swept toward Tang Xing like a covering sky and earth.

Seeing the giant palm composed of countless branches and leaves grabbing toward him, Tang Xing gasped. What kind of technique was this? To actually be refining a giant tree within one's own body!

"Whoosh!"

A sound of breaking air rang out. The small red pagoda broke free from the Measuring Heaven Ruler's attack, transformed into a red light, and returned directly to Tang Xing's front. Then, the pagoda flashed with brilliant light, becoming several zhang high and blocking the master's figure beneath it.

The green giant hand formed by the "Pure Underworld Divine Tree" slapped onto the pagoda in one go. A faint smile appeared on the corner of Zhang Nuo's mouth. With a slight flip of his right hand, the giant hand grabbed the small red pagoda. With a movement of his Divine Sense, only a crisp "crack" was heard; Zhang Nuo had crushed Tang Xing's Magic Treasure pagoda alive!

His heart jolted violently! Seeing his Magic Treasure destroyed, Tang Xing had no intention of fighting anymore. The terrifying combat power Zhang Nuo had displayed was something he might not be able to match even in his prime!

Exciting the last of the Spirit Power in his Divine Sea, he wanted to ride his escape light and flee!

"Stay here!"

His pupils suddenly contracted. Zhang Nuo raised his palm, and the giant green hand roared upward again. With a loud "boom," the giant hand pressed the flying Tang Xing directly to the ground, and then, as the branches and leaves rolled, it wrapped up this Golden Core stage cultivator.

The "Pure Nether Divine Tree" shrank bit by bit, finally submerging completely into Zhang Nuo's palm; all of this happened very rapidly, from Zhang Nuo making his move to destroying Tang Xing, it took almost only a few breaths of time!

The eyes of the dozens of cultivators in the Zhai were staring blankly! The Leader, whom they held in high esteem in their hearts, had actually been destroyed so easily at the hands of a young cultivator!

Silence! Everything around was terrifyingly silent! Only the sound of dozens of people's rapid breathing could be heard! Zhang Nuo did not hesitate to directly use the "Pure Nether Divine Tree" precisely to achieve this effect; now, I fear no one will underestimate his strength again!

"Those who don't want to die, bring all the resources in the Zhai and then follow me!"

As soon as Zhang Nuo's words left his mouth, everyone began to act one after another; not a single cultivator asked a second question!
