Chapter 361: The Tiangui Twin Saint Statues

Zhang Nuo tried his best to calm his mind, his brows tightly furrowed, while deep within his pupils, several flashes of light flickered!

Swish, swish! Following two inconspicuous soft sounds coming from the giant black tower, Zhang Nuo's heart felt as if it had been struck by something, and his body trembled involuntarily a few times! He hurriedly cast his gaze toward the black tower and gasped!

He saw the black giant tower, several zhang tall, undergoing a bizarre transformation; starting from the center line of the tower, it was splitting into two. The swish-swish sounds from just now seemed to be something operating inside the tower!

Meanwhile, the Nascent Soul of Ji Gui beneath the black tower had its two small hands pinching out Dharma seals, its eyes slightly closed, and it kept emitting curses from its mouth!

Although he did not know what the opponent wanted to do, the waves of Spiritual Pressure coming from the black tower were clearly not weak. Zhang Nuo did not want to wait for the opponent to finish unleashing their techniques before engaging in a hard fight.

Immediately, with a movement of his Divine Sense, the three Flying Swords in front of him flashed with spiritual light and charged toward the Nascent Soul beneath the black tower! As if it had long anticipated that Zhang Nuo would pull such a move, the Nascent Soul did not show any movement, yet several black Iron Spears immediately flew out from its side and, in a flash, slammed into the Flying Swords!

The Flying Swords were knocked askew and returned to Zhang Nuo's side! It seemed the opponent dared to initiate such a slow technique because they had surely already prepared for defense!

His expression sank slightly; Zhang Nuo had a bad premonition! At this very moment, the black giant tower in the sky, now split in two, shook violently, and thick limbs rapidly grew out from within it! At the same time, roars that pierced the heavens erupted from it!

"Could that tower be transformed from a living creature?"

This time, Zhang Nuo was even more astonished, staring fixedly ahead! He saw Ji Gui's Nascent Soul stop its incantations, raise its two small hands, and strike two Dharma seals toward the black tower that was currently morphing in mid-air!

With a loud boom like the sky collapsing and the earth shattering, a layer of Demonic Qi surged over the surface of the black tower. When the Demonic Qi dissipated, two ferocious gray stone statues, each seven or eight zhang tall, appeared in mid-air!

These two stone statues were like demon gods returned from hell, baring their fangs and brandishing their bloody maws, as if they wanted to swallow the heavens and the earth whole!

"The Tiangui Twin Saint Statues! Someone in the Tiangui Sect has actually mastered this technique!"

High above, Zhou Huizheng, who was in the midst of a great battle with another Nascent Soul Stage cultivator of the Tiangui Sect, saw the two stone statues, his expression changed drastically, and he cried out involuntarily.

Looking at the two giant stone statues, Zhang Nuo felt an indescribable fear in his heart. The pressure emanating from the statues was difficult for even him to bear! It was not that the pressure from the statues was so immense, but rather the feeling of fear rising from the deepest part of his heart was impossible to resist!

"Brat! Are you ready to die?"

The black Nascent Soul pointed a small finger at Zhang Nuo and said coldly. Zhang Nuo remained silent, his mind constantly pondering what kind of divine abilities these two stone statues might possess!

Seeing that Zhang Nuo did not answer, Ji Gui's Nascent Soul ignored him. After a sudden cold snort, a bizarre scene occurred! The two gray stone statues, their surfaces wreathed in Demonic Qi, were actually able to move on their own!

The next moment, before Zhang Nuo could recover, one of the stone statues took a giant step forward and swung a fist at the empty space where Zhang Nuo was located!

This punch looked plain and unremarkable, with no brilliance flashing, but just as Zhang Nuo felt strange, the two Five-Colored Giant Swords that had been blocking in front of him shook, as if struck by some immense force! Immediately after, a suffocating sense of oppression descended upon the space where Zhang Nuo was!

"Not good!"

He muttered to himself. The strike the stone statue had just unleashed clearly contained some kind of divine ability. With his escape light rising, Zhang Nuo flew directly toward the high sky! The moment he left his original spot, the space there collapsed with a thunderous explosion! It took a long time before it slowly mended!

He broke out in a cold sweat! If Zhang Nuo had been even a fraction of a second slower, the consequences would have been the same as that empty space! He narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze falling directly onto the stone statues!

"What terrifying power!"

He muttered to himself. Since Zhang Nuo began his path of cultivation, this was the first time he had encountered such a bizarre attack—formless, imageless, silent, and soundless! If the Five-Colored Giant Swords hadn't sensed that attack earlier, the consequences would have been unimaginable!

Seeing that the strike missed, Ji Gui's black Nascent Soul raised its brows slightly, then looked up and said to the two giant stone statues in mid-air:

"I trouble the two Tiangui Lords to eliminate the cultivator ahead!"

Before the words had even faded, the two stone statues let out a long howl simultaneously. One of the statues lowered its head to glance at the Nascent Soul, then black Qi flashed in its eyes, and with a swish, it vanished from the spot!

The moment the stone statue vanished, Zhang Nuo's expression changed drastically. With a slight movement of his shoulders, a pair of Black Butterfly Wings grew rapidly from his back, and after flapping a few times, he left an afterimage in place and vanished!

And at the very same moment Zhang Nuo's figure disappeared, the surrounding space fluctuated, and the giant gray stone statue flashed and appeared right there!

Zhang Nuo, who had already fled dozens of zhang away, had cold sweat dripping down his forehead. The gray stone statue looked clumsy, but unexpectedly, its movement technique was incredibly fast! Before he could think further, the second stone statue standing beside the Nascent Soul also flickered and vanished from the spot!

Zhang Nuo gritted his teeth! It seemed he had encountered a difficult opponent this time! With his two Butterfly Wings wrapping around him, he vanished from the spot!

Likewise, the second stone statue appeared at the same place after he vanished! If Zhang Nuo hadn't reacted quickly enough, who knew what the consequences would have been?

Dozens of zhang away, space fluctuated, and as soon as Zhang Nuo's figure appeared, both stone statues looked toward that spot almost simultaneously.

"Awoo!"

After two angry roars, the stone statues seemed to become enraged as if they had emotions, waving their hands incessantly and launching attacks on Zhang Nuo's location in turns!

Without even a chance to fight back, Zhang Nuo relied on the boost from the Butterfly Wings on his back, leaving behind streaks of afterimages in mid-air while constantly dodging the attacks of the two stone statues!

At this moment, Ji Gui's Nascent Soul, protected by hundreds of giant spears, witnessed this scene, and a look of astonishment flashed in its eyes! The attacks of the Tiangui Twin Saint Statues were known for their speed and great power; even an average Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator would absolutely not last a moment before them!

Yet this guy, who looked young, was still handling it with ease, dodging continuously while occasionally glancing toward his side, as if trying hard to think of a way to break the technique!

"Let's see how long you can hold out!"

The black Nascent Soul roared, and at the same time, its hands struck out two Dharma seals, which sank into the bodies of the two stone statues respectively!

"Awoo!"

After two earth-shaking roars, a faint black Demonic Qi surged over the surface of the stone statues, and at the same time, the eyes of the stone statues looked as if they were wrapped in some kind of flame! They released a scorching, burning aura!

Swish! After a soft sound, one of the stone statues vanished as if into thin air, disappearing without a trace, while the other stone statue took large strides in mid-air and lunged directly at Zhang Nuo!

"I'll fight it out!"

The tougher the bone, the more it ignited Zhang Nuo's fighting spirit. For the moment, he seemed to have forgotten his purpose for coming to Yulong Immortal Mountain. With a single finger pointed at the incoming stone statue, dozens of Flying Swords beside him simultaneously underwent spiritualization, and as dragon roars rang out, they charged forward!

But something that made Zhang Nuo gasp appeared: the charging giant stone statue didn't put the spiritualized Flying Swords in its eyes at all. With fists clenched, it smashed wildly, and amidst the constant booming sounds, whenever a giant dragon made contact with its fists, it was immediately blasted into pieces, losing all Spirit Power, and finally reverting to the original form of the Flying Swords!

Just as he was about to sacrifice other Magic Treasures, a bizarre fluctuation suddenly occurred above Zhang Nuo's head, and the stone statue that had vanished earlier appeared!

It struck fiercely at the top of Zhang Nuo's head from a commanding position! Zhang Nuo's Divine Sense was far stronger than those of the same rank, so as soon as there was a disturbance above his head, he sensed it immediately!

With his brows tightly furrowed, he slapped his crown with one hand, and a blue glow rolled out. When the glow dissipated, the Four Spirits Square Cauldron was revealed! The Small Tripod spun rapidly, its size swelling to three zhang! At the same time, a cluster of dark blue electric arcs sprayed out from the tripod, meeting the giant fist swung by the stone statue and wrapping around it!

"Hum!"

After a trembling sound, the stone statue's fist slammed directly into the Four Spirits Square Cauldron. The giant tripod only shook slightly, yet it actually withstood the blow head-on! At the same time, the blue electric arcs in the tripod spread up along the stone statue's arm like a tidal wave!

In the blink of an eye, the surface of the giant stone statue was covered by a layer of dark blue electric arcs! Taking advantage of this slight hesitation, Zhang Nuo flashed and dodged dozens of zhang away, while simultaneously summoning the Four Spirits Square Cauldron back to his side with one hand!

The stone statue, wrapped in blue electric arcs, hesitated slightly and lowered its head to scan its own body, trying to use brute force to shake off these electric arcs! Zhang Nuo revealed a sneer, and a cold snort escaped his nose!

The next moment, the blue electric arcs exploded on the surface of the stone statue's body. With a loud boom, the massive stone statue stumbled and almost fell from mid-air! After a low, angry roar, it opened its maw and sprayed a gray beam of light at Zhang Nuo!

Zhang Nuo did not show any weakness either; he aimed the mouth of the Four Spirits Square Cauldron at the direction of the incoming beam and slapped the bottom of the tripod heavily with his palm! After a hum, a dark blue beam of light sprayed from the tripod! It collided directly with the black beam of light emitted by the stone statue!

After an earth-shaking roar, the air trembled and the void collapsed! The two beams of light turned into shards of spiritual light and vanished in the blink of an eye!
