Chapter 321: Taixu Palace Secret Technique

Taking a few steps back, the man in the grey-white robe finally steadied himself, his astonished eyes filled with disbelief! The brat before him was a cultivator of the same rank as himself; how could he possibly have slaughtered all these cultivators so easily?

"You... who exactly are you?"

The man's voice trembled slightly; he assumed Zhang Nuo was playing the pig to eat the tiger, and that his true identity might be a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator.

"Who I am is something you have no need to know now, because you are about to become a corpse!"

Things having reached this point, it was impossible for Zhang Nuo to let any living soul escape; was he supposed to wait for them to return for revenge? If you cut the grass without removing the roots, the spring breeze will make it grow again! This principle reminded him at every moment that since he had already struck to kill, he had to eliminate all future trouble!

Ye Linger, who had fallen to the ground, was already dumbfounded by this moment; was Zhang Nuo still the slightly clumsy Junior Brother from before? Was he still the person who needed the Senior Brother to look after him? The answer was certain: no!

Just as she was pondering this, Zhang Nuo extended his five fingers toward her, and a massive force surged around Ye Linger, causing her figure to quickly leave the ground and arrive before Zhang Nuo.

"Senior Sister, stand to the side for now!"

Seeing that Ye Linger was not injured, Zhang Nuo felt much more at ease.

"Be careful, this person is named Wei Juren, the beloved son of the Taixu Palace Master. He practices a secret technique from Taixu Palace, and his strength should not be underestimated!"

Fearing that Zhang Nuo might suffer a loss, Ye Linger said quickly.

"Bitch! Once I kill him, I will come to deal with you properly!"

Upon hearing his background exposed, Wei Juren was furious. Zhang Nuo merely nodded slightly; he had never dared to underestimate the strength of the Taixu Palace Young Master from the start. Now that he heard this person practiced a secret technique of Taixu Palace, he showed nothing on the surface, but in his heart, he was twelve times more cautious!

Waiting for Ye Linger to move to the side, Zhang Nuo walked forward a few steps. With a movement of his Divine Sense, the surrounding Flying Swords all returned to his side. He shook the Silver Ruler in his hand and pointed it at Wei Juren, saying:

"Come! Use your secret technique, otherwise you won't have the chance later!"

At this moment, Wei Juren was already so angry that his eyes were spitting fire. As the dignified beloved son of the Taixu Palace Master, when had he ever been challenged like this? Immediately, with a movement of his Divine Sense, a double-edged sword flew out of his body. At the same time, he cast several hand seals, and the inch-sized double-edged sword instantly transformed to over a zhang in length!

With a movement of his Divine Sense, the double-edged sword flashed with brilliance and slashed toward Zhang Nuo. At a rough glance, the Magic Treasure used by this Taixu Palace Young Master was quite ordinary, with nothing special about it. What exactly was the secret technique Ye Linger spoke of?

The current situation did not allow Zhang Nuo to think too much. Seeing the Magic Treasure attack, he flicked his sleeves several times, and several Flying Swords rushed to meet the double-edged sword.

With a booming explosion, followed by flashes of various colors, Zhang Nuo easily received Wei Juren's strike. But right after this strike, Wei Juren formed a strange hand seal, then a bitter and incomprehensible incantation sounded from his mouth, and the gaze he cast toward Zhang Nuo held a bit more viciousness.

"You ignorant fellow, daring to meddle in my affairs!"

As the cold words left his mouth, he slapped his own crown with one hand. With a 'whoosh', a white light flew out from the top of his head. This white light was very fast; Zhang Nuo had barely seen what was in the white light before his vision blurred, and the white light rushed toward him!

In a situation where he did not know what the opponent's attack was, Zhang Nuo dared not take it head-on. The Black Butterfly Wings behind him wrapped around him, and as the surrounding space fluctuated, he disappeared from where he stood!

Wei Juren's white light attack hit empty air, and he could not help but gasp. He also hadn't seen clearly how Zhang Nuo had dodged just now. In the time of two breaths, Zhang Nuo's figure appeared more than ten zhang away.

As his gaze converged and he saw the object within the white light, his heart jumped wildly! Inside the white light was clearly another Wei Juren, identical to his original body!

"External Incarnation!"

Having seen the Demon Emperor's External Incarnation before, Zhang Nuo couldn't help but blurt it out as his thoughts turned. However, he quickly calmed down; Wei Juren was only a cultivator at the Golden Core Late Stage, how could he possibly have cultivated an External Incarnation? Yet, the figure in the white light also emitted a terrifying late-stage strength; Zhang Nuo's Divine Sense sensed this very clearly!

"That is not an External Incarnation, but a Body Mirror Image separated through a secret technique!"

Chunyangzi also said with great surprise.

Zhang Nuo frowned tightly; it seemed the Taixu Palace Secret Technique Ye Linger mentioned must be this! To verify his conjecture, he raised one hand and unleashed a Flying Sword. Before the spirit-glowing Flying Sword could reach Wei Juren's mirror image, its speed was slowed by the powerful Spiritual Pressure radiating from it!

This time, Zhang Nuo could be completely certain that the strength of the clone was almost identical to the original body! Looking at Zhang Nuo's astonished expression, Wei Juren sneered twice, then slapped his crown again with one hand!

Whoosh! Another white light flew out; it was actually another clone! And the strength of the two clones was almost equal, without even the slightest difference!

Zhang Nuo's expression changed instantly; two clones plus the original body was equivalent to the strength of three Golden Core Late Stage cultivators. Fighting three against one, he had no confidence at all! If it were an ordinary cultivator, it would be one thing, but the person before him was the Young Master of Taixu Palace!

After a moment of hesitation, Wei Juren launched his attack. First, the two clones rushed to Zhang Nuo's front in a flash of white light. Each opened their mouths wide, and two clusters of five-colored light mist surged out. These light mists looked weak and powerless, but the moment they exited, they transformed into two five-colored long swords half a zhang long.

Sword Qi crisscrossed the surface of the long swords, constantly emitting a 'chi-chi' sound. The two long swords danced and slashed at Zhang Nuo together! As the Butterfly Wings behind him fluttered, Zhang Nuo retreated while unleashing the Silver Ruler in his hand. The small ruler instantly elongated, blocking the attack of the two great swords in a horizontal line!

Boom!

The two great swords from the clones struck the ruler heavily, driving the 'Measuring Heaven Ruler' more than half a zhang into the ground. Zhang Nuo took a deep breath; with the power of the Measuring Heaven Ruler, it couldn't even withstand the attack of the Flying Swords, which showed the immense power of these two swords!

At the same time, Wei Juren also let out a soft 'eh'. The Flying Sword Magic Treasures used by these two clones were two supreme treasures; if they had been ordinary Magic Treasures, they would have been cut in two long ago, but Zhang Nuo's small ruler was only driven into the ground without the slightest damage!

Grabbing the small ruler in the ground with five fingers, with a 'whoosh' of silver light, the Measuring Heaven Ruler returned to Zhang Nuo's hand. Just then, Wei Juren's original body also made a move; with a sudden flip of his hand, a Four-Legged Small Tripod appeared on his palm.

This tripod stood on four legs, its surface radiating a pale blue light. On the four sides of the tripod, the head of an ancient exotic beast was cast on each, and Blue Electric Arcs constantly flickered inside the Small Tripod!

"It's an Ancient Treasure!"

Sensing the Magic Treasure Wei Juren had revealed, Chunyangzi immediately shouted loudly. Zhang Nuo's heart couldn't help but stir; an Ancient Treasure! That was an existence on the same level as the Heaven-Turning Seal! He hadn't expected this Taixu Palace Young Master to have such a good item in his hands!

Upon seeing the Small Tripod appear, Ye Linger's expression changed drastically. Her delicate face had no trace of color, and her small mouth opened for a long time, but not a sound could come out!

Wei Juren cast a hand seal with one hand, which immediately sank into the Small Tripod. The tripod immediately hummed and flew into mid-air. With the mouth facing downward, a dense mass of Blue Electric Arcs like a giant net covered Zhang Nuo from above! At the same time, Wei Juren's original body and the two clones quickly formed a triangular formation, surrounding Zhang Nuo so he had no path of retreat!

Sensing the descending giant net of electric arcs with his Divine Sense, Zhang Nuo moved his ten fingers, and streaks of Sword Qi shot toward mid-air.

Swish, swish! The moment the Sword Qi met the electric arcs, a harsh squeaking sound rang out, and the Sword Qi turned into faint spirit light and disappeared in the blink of an eye!

Zhang Nuo tightened his brow; the Blue Electric Arcs actually possessed supreme power, such that even the Sword Qi he had cultivated for many years could not contend with them!

With a movement of the Butterfly Wings behind him, Zhang Nuo wanted to escape through the gap between the three, but it seemed the opponent had been prepared. Wei Juren revealed a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and with a movement of his Divine Sense, one of the clones drove the giant sword to block Zhang Nuo!

Seeing the electric arc net about to cover him, Zhang Nuo dared not be careless. With a cold snort, he flipped his hand, and a cluster of silver flames appeared. With a 'whoosh', the silver flames rushed toward the clone blocking his path. The next moment, Zhang Nuo moved his Divine Sense again, and the dozen or so Flying Swords around him all turned into spirit form. With sounds of dragon roars, they struck head-on toward the electric arc net in the sky!

Boom! A loud noise came from mid-air. Zhang Nuo's pupils shrank suddenly, and his expression became extremely ugly. He saw that the moment the Flying Swords and the electric net made contact, all their Linger Power was released, only to be instantly dispersed by the Blue Electric Arcs. At the same time, the dozen or so Flying Swords were all trapped within the electric net.

This scene made Zhang Nuo even more certain that the Small Tripod was a rare Ancient Treasure, and judging by its power, it still had at least seventy percent of its potential!

Too late to think more, the silver flames had already forced back the clone in front of him. Using this time, Zhang Nuo rushed out of the three-person encirclement, but before he could steady his figure, the Flying Swords used by Wei Juren's two clones had their five-colored light mist converge, actually merging into one to become a giant pair of Five-Colored Giant Scissors!

These scissors were over a zhang long, and with a 'swish', they came to cut Zhang Nuo at the waist! Their power was on par with the Ancient Treasure Small Tripod!

Until this moment, even Zhang Nuo was somewhat amazed by the Magic Treasures on this Taixu Palace Young Master! Every single one was extremely sharp; compared to an ordinary Golden Core Stage cultivator, he was simply a little rich man!

With a surge of escape light on his body, Zhang Nuo rushed toward the high sky. With a 'crack', the giant scissors missed, and as the two blades closed, the surrounding void seemed to be cut, appearing with traces of distortion!

"Kid Zhang! You cannot continue to fight! Even if it means both sides suffer heavy injuries, you must kill this person!"

Sensing the severity of the situation, Chunyangzi said sternly!
