Chapter 399: Outer Realm Heavenly Demons

Ba Wang Gui reached his hand into the black jar once again. Even if Zhang Nuo thought with his big toe, he would know what he was about to do! One black creature was already like this; if there were one more, it was truly unimaginable!

However, although Zhang Nuo was unwilling in his heart, the current situation was not something that shifted according to his will. He saw Ba Wang Gui scoop into the jar and, sure enough, pull out another black creature exuding a foul stench! After a cold laugh, he threw it in Zhang Nuo's direction!

With his figure turning, Zhang Nuo dodged into the high air far away as if avoiding a plague. These black creatures not only ignored ordinary attacks, but their speed was also extremely fast; if one were not careful for even a moment, one would be grabbed by them!

"Senior! Are you still not going to speak?"

Zhang Nuo frowned slightly. Although Chunyangzi did not like to talk when he fought others in the past, today was extraordinary. If he were defeated, the entire Yulong Immortal Mountain would be in danger. If he lost the place he had finally found to settle down, Chunyangzi's Pure Yang Body would have nowhere to go!

"Little Zhang, what do you want me to say? These things are all transformed from demonic objects; I don't know their true origins either! It would be best if you asked Baji Laomo!"

Speaking helplessly, Chunyangzi seemed to really not know the reason behind this! Zhang Nuo let out a long breath. Everything before him did not seem to have reached the point where Baji needed to come out. If he forcibly activated the 'Rest Meridian' within the 'Eight Extremes Demon Veins', perhaps it would be possible to kill Gui Yibu and Ba Wang Gui in a short time.

But this time the three major sects joined forces to attack Yulong Immortal Mountain, and the matter was far less simple than he had imagined. If he easily activated the 'Rest Meridian', although it would solve the urgent need for a moment, he would be unable to participate in future battles!

If the Giant Spirit Pavilion were defeated, after activating the 'Eight Extremes Demon Veins', he would not even have the strength to run away! Not anticipating victory, first anticipate defeat; Zhang Nuo could not move his strongest trump card, the 'Rest Meridian', for the time being!

Just as Zhang Nuo was pondering, the two demonic creatures released by Ba Wang Gui moved simultaneously, like two streaks of black light, and lunged directly at him. At the same time, waves of unbearable stench also assaulted him, covering the sky and earth!

Gritting his teeth, Zhang Nuo suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a streak of Silver Flame. He took a deep breath and then blew hard at the silver flames. With a soft 'whoosh', the flames, which were originally only the size of a fist, instantly filled the air! However, when the two demonic creatures entered the attack range of the silver flames, they were completely unharmed. No matter how the 'Red Glow Fire' burned on their bodies, it simply could not destroy them!

Zhang Nuo frowned tightly. His figure darted to the high sky, dodging the attacks of the two demonic creatures. He shook the 'Autumn Water Home' in his hand, and instantly ten thousand Wind Blades broke through the air and struck out. The two demonic creatures acted as if they hadn't seen them and still lunged fiercely!

When the Wind Blades slashed onto their bodies, they only emitted a muffled sound, yet they could not hurt them in the slightest! This time, Zhang Nuo was a bit dumbfounded. The Wind Blades transformed by the folding fan could even break the void, so why did they have no effect at all when hitting the two demonic creatures?

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and call Baji out!"

Seeing that Zhang Nuo was hesitant to summon Baji Laomo, Chunyangzi finally said in great anger! In fact, it was not that Zhang Nuo did not want to summon Baji, but Baji had been refined into a Magic Treasure by the Great Underworld Mansion cultivators, and his life origin power was already very weak. Although he had been nourished in the 'Pure Underworld Divine Tree' for several years, once released, he would immediately lose a lot of energy.

This point was not the most terrifying; if Baji were to fall, wouldn't the Heart Demon Oath he had sworn before him be impossible to fulfill? Zhang Nuo did not know if this would have any impact on his future advancement, but he absolutely dared not take such a risk!

Looking at the two demonic creatures, Zhang Nuo was at his wit's end. Finally, he summoned Baji from the Divine Tree! A streak of black light flew out from Zhang Nuo's palm, and at the same time, with a strange 'awoo' cry, Baji Laomo appeared before Zhang Nuo's eyes, looking extremely unwilling as if he had been woken from a good dream!

"I say, kid, you..."

Baji Laomo had just wanted to grumble at Zhang Nuo, but when he was halfway through his sentence, he suddenly turned his head and saw the two demonic creatures not far away!

"Hehe! I didn't expect that such things still existed in the Human Realm! Not bad! Not bad indeed!"

The old demon appeared extremely excited. His jaw, which was nothing but bone, kept emitting cold laughs, while his silver eyes released a look of surprise!

Seeing that Baji Laomo recognized the demonic creatures before him, Zhang Nuo felt a joy in his heart and immediately asked:

"Senior, what are these things, and why are all kinds of attacks ineffective against them?"

"It would be a miracle if they were effective! These are Outer Realm Heavenly Demons! They are things that some high-level cultivators attract from other realms during the process of advancement. However, these two are just little cubs, not worth fearing!"

Rolling his eyes at Zhang Nuo, Baji Laomo suddenly seemed to remember something and shouted at Zhang Nuo's body:

"Chunyangzi! You old thing, don't tell me you don't recognize Outer Realm Heavenly Demons! You could have just told him; why did you have to call me out?"

For this sentence, Baji used the Sound Transmission technique, which only Zhang Nuo and Chunyangzi could hear! Hearing this, Zhang Nuo was stunned at first. Looking at Baji Laomo's angry appearance, it was clear that Chunyangzi also knew the origin of the two demonic creatures!

"Baji, why are you so agitated! Isn't it because I cannot manifest? Now that Little Zhang is in trouble, you should help him out no matter what! Besides, you are more proficient in Demonic Arts than I am!"

An extremely lazy voice came from within Zhang Nuo's body. Upon hearing this, Baji Laomo was so angry he jumped up and down. Chunyangzi had pushed him onto the battlefield, while he himself hid inside Zhang Nuo's body!

"Old thing! I'll remember this! Just wait until I have a physical body!"

After cursing bitterly, Baji said to Zhang Nuo again:

"Kid, do you have anything specifically for restraining demonic creatures? For example, Demon-Extinguishing Fire or Residual Demon Wind or something?"

Things having reached this point, no matter how much Baji cursed, it was of no use; he had to help Zhang Nuo destroy the demonic creatures before them! But something that made Baji Laomo even more furious happened: Zhang Nuo shook his head like a rattle-drum; he didn't have a single thing that specifically restrained demonic creatures!

Baji Laomo was about to flare up when suddenly, Gui Yibu and Ba Wang Gui in the distance saw the clue. They had originally thought the black skeleton Zhang Nuo had sacrificed would be an extremely powerful Magic Treasure, but they hadn't expected it to be a living creature with a soul! The concerns in their hearts vanished, and they immediately launched attacks like a rainstorm!

Seeing that the situation was bad, Zhang Nuo took Baji Laomo and dodged the attacks at high speed.

"Senior! Think of a way, quickly!"

"What way do you want me to think of? You don't even have anything to restrain demonic creatures!"

Baji Laomo said unpleasantly. At this moment, he really wanted to drag Chunyangzi out and bite him to death!

"Apart from needing something to restrain demonic creatures, is there really no other way?"

Zhang Nuo asked Baji while flying away. Having fought so many battles, this was the first time he had encountered such a thing; his full range of divine abilities could not hurt the opponent at all!

"That's not necessarily true! Destroying that black jar that imprisons the Outer Realm Heavenly Demons would also work!"

After glancing in the direction of Ba Wang Gui, Baji said in a deep voice.

Destroy that black jar? What a joke! Whether it was the two demonic creatures or Gui Yibu, they were all guarding Ba Wang Gui closely. As long as Zhang Nuo got close, he would immediately be met with attacks like a rainstorm!

"Is there no other way besides that?"

"No!"

Baji Laomo's answer was very blunt! Zhang Nuo frowned tightly and, after pondering, finally made a decision that put him in a very difficult position!

"Since that's the case, I'll take a gamble! Senior, please return to the Divine Tree first!"

Hearing Zhang Nuo's words, Baji Laomo seemed to have been granted amnesty and turned into a streak of black light, drilling directly into Zhang Nuo's palm! The next moment, Zhang Nuo shook his hand hidden in his robe sleeve, and nine Flying Swords immediately flashed out! These Flying Swords flashed with spiritual light and disappeared into thin air in the blink of an eye!

After doing all this, Zhang Nuo vibrated the Butterfly Wings on his back even harder, the 'swish-swish' sound incessant! Afterimages were left in mid-air; it was impossible to tell which one was his true body!

At the same time, Gui Yibu and Ba Wang Gui felt that something was amiss. Zhang Nuo's high-intensity flight seemed to be covering up something! The two of them exchanged a quick glance, and a look of cruelty flashed in their eyes simultaneously! They had to finish off Zhang Nuo in a short time!

Gui Yibu's palm opened rapidly, and that small black knife flew into mid-air with a 'swish'. At the same time, a red light flashed in the eyes of the silver skeleton on the knife handle, and it actually shot out two red beams, striking straight toward a patch of void!

With a loud 'boom', Zhang Nuo stumbled out from the previously calm void. When he was flying at high speed using the Butterfly Wings, he suddenly saw the red light striking toward this spot, and his heart sank instantly. He had not expected that Gui Yibu could actually discern his landing point in advance!

Forced by necessity, Zhang Nuo had no choice but to enlarge one of the Flying Swords and use it as a shield! Although he defended against the attack of the two red beams, he was also startled into a cold sweat!

Just as Zhang Nuo revealed his figure, the two Outer Realm Heavenly Demons flickered, turned into two streaks of black light, and darted to his front like lightning!

With two strange 'awoo' cries, four claws grabbed at him simultaneously! The speed of the two demonic creatures was too fast, and coupled with the fact that Zhang Nuo had just dodged an attack and his body had not yet stabilized, it looked like there was no way to avoid it!

In his desperation, Zhang Nuo let out a low shout, activated the 'Immovable Underworld King' technique, and wanted to use his physical body to forcibly take this blow! Gray glow surged on his body, and suddenly, a faint phantom appeared on the surface of his body! This phantom was extremely faint, ethereal as if the air had been affected by some kind of fluctuation!

However, the hands of the two Outer Realm Heavenly Demons were slightly delayed because of this phantom. In just this short moment, Zhang Nuo pulled away and flew to the high sky! A look of surprise flashed across his face, because when he activated the 'Immovable Underworld King' just now, he had also felt the existence of that phantom!
