Chapter 371: One Destroys Two

As soon as the Measuring Heaven Ruler in Zhang Nuo's hand appeared, it was immediately tossed into mid-air. The next moment, dense, countless silver ruler shadows smashed down toward Hong Yu Niang like raindrops!

The young woman's delicate brows were tightly locked. The speed at which Zhang Nuo changed his techniques was truly too bizarre, especially with the amplification of the Black Butterfly Wings; his speed had reached an inconceivable level!

The sky-filling silver ruler shadows reached Hong Yu Niang in the blink of an eye. This woman was quite formidable; she abruptly raised her robe sleeves toward the sky, and a white silk handkerchief the size of a palm flew out from within. She opened her red lips and sprayed a mouthful of vital blood onto it.

With a sudden flash of spiritual light, the white silk handkerchief, which was only the size of a palm at first, transformed into over a zhang in size in the blink of an eye, blocking all the silver ruler shadows striking at Hong Yu Niang!

Boom! Boom! The moment the thousands of ruler shadows fell together, a series of booming sounds and countless shattered spiritual lights began to erupt on the surface of the silk handkerchief! Seeing that his strike had been received, Zhang Nuo was not the least bit surprised; he lightly raised his eyebrows, and a strange smile appeared at the corners of his mouth!

With a movement of his Divine Sense, the Flying Sword he had released earlier had quietly surrounded Hong Yu Niang from several dozen zhang away. At the same time, Zhang Nuo pointed solemnly at the Four Spirits Square Cauldron in front of him, and instantly, countless dark blue electric arcs erupted from within the Small Tripod!

These electric arcs rolled toward Hong Yu Niang like a tide. Additionally, Zhang Nuo flipped one hand again, and a cluster of Silver Flame appeared in his palm!

He squeezed his five fingers with force, and the Silver Flame wrapped around his entire arm with a whoosh! Then, the Butterfly Wings behind him flapped lightly, leaving an afterimage in place as he also charged toward Hong Yu Niang!

Having just resisted the attack of the numerous ruler shadows, Hong Yu Niang had not yet had time to retract the Magic Treasure above her head when she suddenly saw the dark blue electric arcs surging toward her. Greatly alarmed, her figure retreated rapidly, and at the same time, she moved her Divine Sense to control the white silk handkerchief hovering above her head.

With a swishing sound, it moved to wrap around the many blue electric arcs! After a buzzing sound, the electric arcs released by the Four Spirits Square Cauldron all struck the white silk handkerchief! For a time, they were actually blocked and could not advance a single bit! One could see the blue electric arcs flickering on the surface of the silk handkerchief; it looked like it should be able to hold out for a long time!

Just at this moment, Zhang Nuo leaped over the white silk handkerchief from high above, the Black Butterfly Wings behind him wrapped around him, and he disappeared in the blink of an eye! The next moment, at a void one zhang behind Hong Yu Niang, spatial fluctuations suddenly arose, and Zhang Nuo appeared out of thin air! At the same time, he swung his fist, which was wrapped in Silver Flame, and delivered a fierce blow to the woman's back!

Hong Yu Niang had never dreamed that while Zhang Nuo was a Dharma Cultivator, he was actually also a Body Refining Cultivator. The power of the fist he swung was so great that it truly made her almost bite her tongue!

She only felt a gust of wind from a fist coming at her back, causing her clothes to rustle loudly. Even more terrifying was that before Zhang Nuo's fist had even arrived, a scorching heat had already reached her!

With no time to think, Hong Yu Niang instinctively wanted to move her body forward, but as far as her eyes could see, her silk handkerchief Magic Treasure was currently blocking a large amount of blue electric arcs attacking her. If she rushed over there, wouldn't that be equivalent to sending herself to her death?

She lightly raised her delicate brows, and the escape light on her body surged violently as she suddenly charged toward the high sky! Yet all of this seemed to have been within Zhang Nuo's expectations. His half-swung fist suddenly opened its five fingers, and streaks of white Sword Qi shot out from his fingertips!

The sound of tearing through the air, "chi chi," was incessant. The speed of the Sword Qi was even a few notches faster than Hong Yu Niang's escape speed!

With a soft "ripping" sound, although Hong Yu Niang dodged several streaks of Sword Qi, one streak still sliced open her jade arm, and fresh blood flowed down her arm!

Biting her silver teeth in pain, Hong Yu Niang turned her body and glared at Zhang Nuo. She saw that Zhang Nuo's figure had stopped below, with no intention of chasing her further, his face wearing a cold sneer as if he were waiting for something to happen!

In such a great battle, for the opponent to still be able to smile, it was clear this was no ordinary matter. Just as she pondered this slightly, she felt a scorching sensation coming from the place where the Sword Qi had slashed her, and subsequently, this feeling spread throughout her entire body!

"Oh no!"

The young woman's face suddenly turned ugly. She looked down at the wound and saw that on the surface of the wound, there was a layer of Silver Flame faintly burning!

"Ah~!"

A shrill scream erupted from Hong Yu Niang's mouth. Following this sound, the young woman's body was reduced to ashes by a burst of Silver Flame from the inside out at a speed visible to the naked eye!

In just a few breaths, a perfectly fine person had turned into a pile of black fly ash! Just as Zhang Nuo thought that by adding the Red Glow Fire into the Sword Qi, he could completely kill Hong Yu Niang in one blow, a streak of green light flashed out from within the fly ash! And it fled toward the distant sky at an extremely fast speed!

By the time Zhang Nuo's Divine Sense captured the target, he discovered that the object flying out was none other than Hong Yu Niang's Nascent Soul! Because the Nascent Soul's escape speed was too fast, Zhang Nuo had not had time to deploy the Divine Tree!

However, a cold snort suddenly issued from his mouth, as if he had activated some technique! At the same time, the several Flying Swords that had surrounded Hong Yu Niang earlier released a burst of spiritual light, and nine of them transformed into nine silver giant dragons!

As a high-pitched dragon chant arose, the nine giant dragons soared into the sky, and in the blink of an eye, they wrapped around Hong Yu Niang's Nascent Soul! The Nascent Soul's pair of terrified little eyes blinked a few times, just as it was about to make a move! The nine silver dragons circled around it, forming a huge sphere, trapping the Nascent Soul alive inside!

The next moment, streaks of dragon chants rang out one after another; Zhang Nuo had officially activated the Nine Dragon Chant Sword Formation! With his current Nascent Soul Stage cultivation, the Sword Formation was no longer what it used to be! It was simply not something a Nascent Soul without a physical body could withstand!

As soon as the first wave of the Sword Formation was activated, Hong Yu Niang's Nascent Soul let out a mournful cry, its two little hands constantly covering its ears, but these actions were of no avail!

One could see fine bloodstains appearing on the surface of the Nascent Soul's body, its pair of little eyes bulging outward, and suddenly, with a booming explosion, the Nascent Soul was actually crushed alive by the Sword Formation!

A small patch of Blood Mist churned incessantly within the Nine Dragon Chant Sword Formation. Zhang Nuo only glanced at it coldly before moving his Divine Sense to retract all his Magic Treasures into his body!

He tilted his gaze slightly and looked at the battle between Yang Huzi and Zhou Zhangbai in the distance. These two had known each other for many years, so when they fought, it was difficult to tell who would win!

"Brother Yang! Hold him off for a moment longer! I am going to take the Rare Metal!"

Zhang Nuo's lips moved slightly as he sent a voice transmission to Yang Huzi! Yang Huzi was currently locked in a fierce battle with Zhou Zhangbai when he suddenly heard Zhang Nuo's transmission. He turned his head to look and couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart!

Zhang Nuo was actually able to kill Hong Yu Niang in such a short time; this was too unbelievable! Seeing the look of surprise flash in Yang Huzi's eyes, Zhou Zhangbai also looked toward Zhang Nuo's direction!

Upon this look, Zhou Zhangbai's heart skipped a beat! In the distant sky, he could only see Zhang Nuo standing in mid-air; where could he still see the shadow of Hong Yu Niang!

In just the blink of an eye, a dignified Nascent Soul Stage cultivator had been so easily slaughtered by Zhang Nuo! This was too unexpected! But something even more worrying for Zhou Zhangbai happened!

Zhang Nuo's figure flickered as he charged toward the huge Flying Magic Tool, the Rare Metal. After almost a few flashes, Zhang Nuo arrived beneath it! Several streaks of Sword Qi flashed across his ten fingers, and after a burst of air-tearing sounds, the several Foundation Establishment disciples maintaining the Flying Magic Tool were struck one after another and fell directly from mid-air!

Seeing that Zhang Nuo was about to enter the interior of the Rare Metal, Zhou Zhangbai's face turned livid. He activated several major techniques in succession, forcing Yang Huzi back, and with his escape light surging wildly, he charged directly toward Zhang Nuo!

Zhang Nuo's forward-moving figure stopped abruptly, and he quickly turned his head to scan Zhou Zhangbai! A faint, imperceptible smile appeared at the corners of his mouth! Under his robe sleeves, nine Flying Swords appeared silently and disappeared in a flash!

Turning his body, Zhang Nuo just watched quietly as Zhou Zhangbai charged toward him. At this moment, Zhou Zhangbai's entire mind was focused on the Rare Metal, the Flying Magic Tool filled with precious materials, and he did not notice Zhang Nuo's unusual expression at all!

Just when Zhou Zhangbai's body was a hundred zhang away from Zhang Nuo, Zhang Nuo's expression suddenly sank. Then, from both his hands, ten thousand streaks of Sword Qi were fired simultaneously; the several-chi-long Sword Qi, like streaks of meteors, tore through the void!

Zhou Zhangbai's charging figure came to an abrupt halt. He wanted to activate a Magic Treasure for defense, but in the moment he paused, nine bright Flying Swords appeared simultaneously in the void a dozen zhang away from his body, with spiritual light flashing!

Zhang Nuo let out a cold snort from his nose, then his hands formed seals within his robe sleeves. The next moment, Sword Qi crisscrossed above the nine flying swords, and the sound of tearing through the air was constant. In almost the time of a single breath, a white Sword Qi lotus flower several dozen zhang in size trapped Zhou Zhangbai within it!

As soon as the Lotus Fall Sword Formation began to operate, Zhang Nuo did not pause in the slightest. With his hand seals urged wildly, the formation instantly raised its power to the peak.

At this moment, Zhou Zhangbai was filled with endless regret! Due to a moment of negligence, he had actually fallen into the opponent's ambush! Now, it would be a bit difficult to charge out of the Sword Formation!

With a swishing sound of tearing through the air, the Sword Qi Zhang Nuo had previously unleashed arrived in front of Zhou Zhangbai. While he used the Flying Sword in front of him to block the majority of the Sword Qi, the Lotus Fall Sword Formation launched its attack!

The imposing Sword Qi wove the lotus flower into something dreamlike and illusory; looking from afar, it was like a real lotus flower blooming in mid-air!

"Ah! ~"

Due to a moment of carelessness, one of Zhou Zhangbai's arms was directly severed by the Sword Qi! Seeing this, Yang Huzi, who was chasing from behind, immediately revealed an expression of excitement on his face! Having fallen into Zhang Nuo's Sword Formation, it seemed Zhou Zhangbai was doomed!
