Chapter 338: Seeking Revenge

Suddenly noticing that the expression in the eyes of that Nascent Soul stage cultivator from Taixu Palace was wrong, Yang Huzi flickered and arrived before him, saying with an unkind look:

"I say, Fellow Daoist Zhou, you wouldn't just be here to welcome us, would you?"

Reaching out to stroke his beard, which was like steel needles, Yang Potian put on a thoughtful expression.

"Brother Yang! I won't speak in riddles before a clear-sighted person; I have come here this time only to demand one person from you!"

The old man surnamed Zhou had a face as dark as water; it seemed he had made up his mind that no matter what, he would obtain the person he wanted.

"Oh? Who do you want?"

Yang Huzi seemed to have guessed something, but he still feigned a look of confusion.

"It's him!"

With a roar from his mouth, the old man surnamed Zhou pointed his hand at where Zhang Nuo was! Although this finger-point had no attack technique, Zhang Nuo's body still trembled slightly, and his complexion changed in a flash!

Turning back to look at the person the old man surnamed Zhou was pointing at, Yang Huzi understood in his heart that it seemed he had guessed correctly; the group from Taixu Palace had come here, and it was indeed because of Zhang Nuo killing Wei Juren earlier.

This matter had been fully disclosed after Ye Ling'er returned to the Giant Spirit Pavilion; not many people knew about it, so where did Taixu Palace get the news?

"What do you want with a mere Foundation Establishment stage cultivator?"

Since he had been playing dumb and acting stupid before, Yang Huzi decided to play it to the end.

"Brother Yang! Why bother? You know the reason behind this, so why protect him! It has already been discovered by others that among the few Magic Treasures Zhang Nuo uses, there is one belonging to my Young Master. Does this still need explaining?"

The voices of these two were not loud, but Zhang Nuo heard them clearly. Recalling it, he had indeed used the 'Heaven Splitting Scissors' a few times; it seemed the people from Taixu Palace had discovered him based on this point!

"I say, Fellow Daoist Zhou, there are plenty of Magic Treasures in this world! Various imitations can also be refined to look exactly like the real thing. I'm afraid you can't convince anyone with just this point, can you?"

Yang Huzi's expression turned cold, and he said with a bad attitude.

"Yang Huzi! Don't think that just because you are the Third Leader of the Giant Spirit Pavilion, you can protect that brat! Even if I have to burn together with you today, I will capture him and take him back!"

Seeing Yang Potian being so persistent, the old man surnamed Zhou could finally no longer suppress the anger in his heart. He glared, and murderous intent immediately erupted in his eyes.

"Zhou Zhangbai, you and I are existences of the same rank; stop playing your Nascent Soul stage cultivator's prestige here! Zhang Nuo is already a member of my Giant Spirit Pavilion. If you want to touch him, get past me first!"

Seeing that the other party was truly enraged, Yang Huzi was not at all polite; the beard on his chin stood up almost hair by hair.

"Fine! Since that's the case, don't blame me!"

A thick scent of gunpowder filled the entire space. Zhou Zhangbai's expression suddenly sank. He raised an arm high and waved it at the cultivators of Taixu Palace behind him. Immediately, these people all brandished their Magic Treasures and charged toward the Giant Spirit Pavilion side.

At the same time, Zhou Zhangbai's figure flashed toward the high sky, and pointing one hand at Yang Huzi, he said:

"Yang! I have long heard that your supernatural powers are overbearing; today I will properly learn them!"

With things having reached this point, Yang Huzi had no way to retreat. His expression tightened, and his body flew toward the high sky! When the people of the Giant Spirit Pavilion saw that even the Third Leader had made a move, they naturally did not hesitate anymore; facing the charging Taixu Palace disciples, they unleashed the Magic Treasures in their hands!

For a time, the two groups were locked in a chaotic battle. Zhang Nuo also joined in. This time, the matter started because of him; if he did not use his full strength, it would surely cause Yang Huzi's dissatisfaction. Without further ado, he moved his Divine Sense, and dozens of Flying Swords shot out. In the blink of an eye, he had beheaded three Foundation Establishment stage cultivators on the Taixu Palace side.

Just at this moment, a black-faced cultivator blocked Zhang Nuo's path. This person was over forty years old, with cultivation around the Golden Core Middle Stage. His black robe set off his black face, appearing extremely sinister!

"Brat who killed the Young Master! Give me your life!"

The black-faced cultivator, seeing that Zhang Nuo was very young, felt a surge of joy in his heart. What kind of supernatural powers could such a young brat have! If he could take him down and return to the palace, wouldn't that be a great achievement! Especially since Taixu Palace had offered a huge reward to find out who the murderer was! Whoever could catch the murderer, regardless of which sect they belonged to, would receive a reward of tens of thousands of High-grade Spirit Stones!

Tens of thousands of High-grade Spirit Stones—what kind of concept was that! Some cultivators might not even see so many Spirit Stones in their entire lives. Under heavy rewards, there must be brave men. The black-faced cultivator was momentarily blinded by the Spirit Stones; his blood surged, and he arrived right in front of Zhang Nuo.

In fact, he thought too simply. Since he could kill Wei Juren, it meant Zhang Nuo's strength was not weak! This also destined that the black-faced cultivator's moment of misfortune had arrived!

Zhang Nuo just glanced at him lightly, not even speaking. With a flick of one hand, dozens of Flying Swords turned into White Threads, drawing beautiful arcs in mid-air, and slashed directly toward the black-faced man!

The black-faced man had been ambitious before, but upon seeing Zhang Nuo's incredibly fast Flying Swords, he immediately lost his nerve! He threw out several Talismans in succession, finally managing to block Zhang Nuo's Fast Sword.

But the next moment! Zhang Nuo slightly raised his palm, and the Measuring Heaven Ruler was unleashed. Holding the small ruler in one hand, his figure rushed forward sharply, suddenly arriving in the void a dozen zhang away from the black-faced cultivator. With a flip of his wrist, the Silver Ruler instantly elongated and pierced directly through the black-faced cultivator's heart!

A pillar of blood erupted. Before the black-faced cultivator could even see what Magic Treasure it was, a hole the size of an arm, transparent from both sides, had been blasted through his chest!

The corpse fell toward the ground. Zhang Nuo's figure flashed, and he grabbed the falling corpse of the black-faced cultivator, then threw it into the 'Seven Kill Ring'! With a roll of light, the corpse disappeared!

"Well killed!"

High in the sky, Yang Huzi, who was battling Zhou Zhangbai, saw Zhang Nuo kill a Golden Core stage cultivator of Taixu Palace in one move and shouted in praise.

Zhou Zhangbai swept his Divine Sense and saw that scene as well. He was slightly startled in his heart; even if the black-faced man was a small realm lower than Zhang Nuo, he shouldn't have fallen in a single exchange!

"Let me come and meet you!"

Before even catching the person, he had already lost a Golden Core stage cultivator. Zhou Zhangbai felt it was too humiliating. With a loud shout, he unleashed several moves, forcing Yang Huzi back, and his figure flickered in the high sky, turning into a streak of light, shooting directly toward Zhang Nuo!

Sensing that something was wrong, Zhang Nuo looked up and saw an incredibly fast escape light rushing toward him; his heart sank abruptly! Even though he was confident in dealing with Golden Core stage cultivators, he was far from being able to contend with a Nascent Soul stage cultivator!

By the time Yang Huzi discovered Zhou Zhangbai's intention, it was a bit too late to intervene! At this moment, Zhang Nuo steeled his heart, bit his silver teeth, and first unleashed the Measuring Heaven Ruler in his hand. The Silver Ruler turned into shadows of rulers filling the sky, smashing toward Zhou Zhangbai!

At the same time, he flipped his hand again, and two five-colored Flying Swords appeared in his palm. Without thinking, he unleashed them simultaneously. When the two Flying Swords flew halfway, a five-colored glow flashed, and they merged together, transforming into a giant pair of scissors! And they slashed fiercely down at Zhou Zhangbai!

Facing the sky full of silver ruler shadows, Zhou Zhangbai didn't even dodge, directly waving his sleeves to dissolve them one by one. But facing the attack of the Heaven Splitting Scissors, he dared not be careless. His figure paused, and he opened his mouth slightly; a Flying Sword an inch long was spat out by him.

The Flying Sword was entirely cyan; as it met the wind, it expanded to over several zhang. With a clanging sound, the Heaven Splitting Scissors happened to clip onto the giant cyan Flying Sword. However, with the power of these scissors, they still failed to destroy it. It seemed that the Magic Treasure of a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, even if it was an ordinary object, could never be underestimated!

Taking advantage of the moment the two Magic Treasures collided, Yang Huzi flashed and blocked in front of Zhou Zhangbai!

"Hmph! And you still say it wasn't him who killed my Young Master? Then how do you explain these Heaven Splitting Scissors?"

As soon as Zhou Zhangbai saw the Heaven Splitting Scissors appear on Zhang Nuo, he immediately concluded that Wei Juren was killed by him! His expression sank as he said angrily.

"So what if he killed your Young Master? Even if Wei Laogui came himself today, don't even think about taking Zhang Nuo away!"

Yang Huzi deliberately said this loudly in front of many cultivators. To win people's hearts, one must be willing to pay a heavy price. Zhang Nuo could be called a rare talent; without giving some benefits, why would people join the Giant Spirit Pavilion?

"Good!"

Zhou Zhangbai was so angry his face turned green. His slightly trembling lips moved, and he only spat out the word "good"! Afterward, he was seen waving his sleeves repeatedly, and several Magic Treasures were unleashed, all striking toward Yang Huzi.

The situation at hand could not be more obvious; only by defeating Yang Potian first could he capture Zhang Nuo! For a time, the two Nascent Soul stage cultivators fought into a ball, and bursts of loud booms came from the high sky.

Zhang Nuo just took a glance. Although he did not want to owe the Giant Spirit Pavilion a favor, there was no other way at the moment! He had to grit his teeth and rush into the crowd of Taixu Palace again.

With Zhang Nuo's strength, it was like entering an empty land. After a few charges, Taixu Palace lost several more disciples! Just at this moment, in a hidden corner on the ground, two eyes revealing fierce light were staring fixedly at Zhang Nuo!

Seeing Zhang Nuo's figure approaching this side, a strange brilliance bloomed in those two eyes! With a swoosh, a red figure rushed out from the ground, its speed completely like that of a Nascent Soul stage existence.

And the target of the figure was Zhang Nuo! Never had he expected that a high-level cultivator was still hiding on the ground. Caught off guard, by the time his Divine Sense sensed it, everything was already too late!

With a muffled boom, as the red figure pounced toward Zhang Nuo, it suddenly opened its mouth, and a silver beam of light sprayed out, hitting Zhang Nuo right in the chest!

The moment he was struck, Zhang Nuo only felt his body as if it had been hammered by a heavy mallet; a mouthful of fresh blood sprayed out, and his body, like a kite with a broken string, plummeted straight to the ground!
