Chapter 446: Great Battle at the Mountain Gate

After one strike, the Demon Emperor could not help but sneer inwardly! Although Zhang Nuo had advanced to the Nascent Soul Late Stage, his strength was nothing special! After trading blows, it turned out that compared to his own Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivation, there was actually not much difference!

With this confidence, the Demon Emperor became even more aggressive! His figure lunged forward, and he flicked his sleeves; "Swish, swish!" Two piercing sounds rang out, and simultaneously, two crescent-shaped short halberds appeared beside him!

These two small halberds were only about a foot long, one black and one white, two completely opposite colors! From the surface of the halberds, black and white Qi were emitted respectively!

Zhang Nuo's pupils suddenly constricted; his Divine Sense felt an unusual fluctuation coming from the small halberds! It was a power that existed far beyond Demonic Qi! Even the Flying Sword beside him trembled slightly!

"It is the power of Yin and Yang Qi!"

Chunyangzi's voice said from within the Sword Box in a low tone! In fact, without Chunyangzi saying it, Zhang Nuo also felt the difference in these two small halberds. The Demon Emperor had been immersed in the Yin and Yang Qi of the Underworld Book for so many years; he would not have no collection at all! Thinking of this, his figure swayed slightly, his left and right hands separated, and he summoned two Five-Colored Giant Swords!

"Go!"

With a long roar from the Demon Emperor, the black and white small halberds that had just appeared simultaneously transformed into two rays of light and slashed toward Zhang Nuo's body!

When the small halberds reached halfway, the halberd bodies paused slightly, but in the instant of this hesitation, a strange change occurred! In front of the halberd tips, the void rippled like water waves, and immediately after, the two small halberds passed through the ripples in the void, their speed doubling as they slashed toward Zhang Nuo again!

Zhang Nuo formed hand seals, and the Flying Swords beside him shot toward the incoming two small halberds one after another, but what he did not expect was that no matter how many Flying Swords struck these two small halberds, they were immediately bounced away.

He was startled; although he had guessed before that the Demon Emperor's black and white small halberds were forged from Yin and Yang Qi, this powerful momentum still opened Zhang Nuo's eyes!

With a light shake of his hands, the two Five-Colored Giant Swords he had summoned earlier flew out of his grasp! The next moment, the four Magic Treasures flashed with different lights and collided with each other!

With two loud booms, the surrounding void cracked, and at the same time, Zhang Nuo's two Five-Colored Giant Swords were struck high into the air by the black and white halberds! Yet the momentum of these two halberds did not diminish in the slightest, still charging wildly toward Zhang Nuo!

This time, Zhang Nuo was truly a bit anxious; the powerful might of the 'Heaven Splitting Scissors' had actually failed to block the black and white halberds! His figure drifted to one side, and at the same time, he formed a hand seal! He let out a long, low shout!

The black and white halberds struck empty air, and just as the Demon Emperor wanted to launch a second attack, the two Five-Colored Giant Swords that had been knocked high into the air underwent a change! As the sword bodies blurred simultaneously, the two swords merged into one, transforming into a golden giant pair of scissors about a zhang long!

With a 'Swish!' of light, the giant scissor blades opened and snipped down toward the Demon Emperor! The Demon Emperor, who was fully controlling the black and white halberds, felt a fierce wind above his head! Before he could look up, he flipped his body and retreated dozens of zhang away!

A giant pair of scissors swept past the spot where he had just been standing; if he had been half a beat slower, he would have been cut in two! Thinking to himself that it was a close call, the Demon Emperor guided with one hand, and the Golden Brick hovering in mid-air smashed wildly down toward the 'Heaven Splitting Scissors' that had missed their target!

"Boom!"

The Golden Brick, originally only a foot in size, swelled to over a zhang, and with the flashing of Demonic Qi, it smashed directly onto the 'Heaven Splitting Scissors', pinning them to the ground! With this loud boom, the earth shook several times, and a cloud of dust rose into the sky!

Zhang Nuo's moving figure paused, and he hurriedly swept his Divine Sense toward the ground, intending to recall the 'Heaven Splitting Scissors', but no matter how he moved his Divine Sense, the Magic Treasure below showed no movement at all!

The Demon Emperor sneered twice at Zhang Nuo's surprised expression; he had just used the Golden Brick Magic Treasure to trap the 'Heaven Splitting Scissors', one of the Sacrificial Heaven Four-Piece Set, on the ground! In this way, Zhang Nuo was now missing a powerful Magic Treasure!

Next, the Demon Emperor separated his hands, pitch-black Demonic Qi surging in his palms; with a soft 'pop', he pressed his palms together, and a barely audible incantation sounded from his mouth! On the other hand, the black and white halberds that had been chasing Zhang Nuo underwent a sudden change; black and white Qi surged from both of them, and within those two masses of aura, they rapidly transformed into two giant, solid-looking Dharma images!

These two Dharma images were each several zhang high, using the small halberds as their foundation, and they separated to the left and right, pincer-attacking Zhang Nuo from two different directions!

Feeling the change in the halberds, Zhang Nuo's heart skipped a beat; he wanted to activate his Butterfly Wings to increase his speed, but the black and white Dharma images were even faster than him, reaching his sides in the blink of an eye! Simultaneously, they swung two fists like small mountains, smashing toward Zhang Nuo's body!

Previously, Zhang Nuo had always thought that only the Heavenly Demon Cauldron was the Demon Emperor's trump card; he did not expect the power of these two small halberds to be no weaker! The two giant fists carried fierce gales, and a pressure like a mountain or a peak acted upon Zhang Nuo's body simultaneously!

At this moment, it was too late to dodge; even if he could forcibly activate the Butterfly Wings to escape, he would likely still be injured by the gales from the Dharma images' fists!

His expression sank slightly, and Zhang Nuo let out a cold snort through his nose! Immediately, the Second Demon Infant within his body let out a soft cry, and at the same time, two Divine Seas surged with pitch-black Demonic Qi at Zhang Nuo's dantian, and two figures flashed out from within the Divine Seas!

As soon as these two figures rushed out of Zhang Nuo's body, they directly transformed into the appearance of a Magic Buddha, rushed to the left and right, raised their hands, and forcibly caught the fists of the two Dharma images!

Boom, boom! The moment the Magic Buddha's hands made contact with the Dharma images' fists, two equally powerful auras erupted! Taking advantage of this brief moment, Zhang Nuo shrugged his shoulders, the Black Butterfly Wings flashed out from his back, and with a light flap, he flew a hundred zhang away like a light breeze!

The next moment, the two Magic Buddhas simultaneously abandoned the Dharma images and dived into Zhang Nuo's body with a flash of black light! Although he had entered the Nascent Soul Late Stage and the Inner Scene Art had been cultivated to the Fourth Layer, and Zhang Nuo's Divine Sense strength was no longer what it used to be, fully driving the Magic Buddhas still left him somewhat overwhelmed!

Therefore, as soon as he dodged this strike, Zhang Nuo immediately withdrew them! He did not know how long the battle with the Great Underworld Mansion would last, and he dared not squander his Divine Sense recklessly!

The Demon Emperor looked at the scene before him, his heart shocked to the extreme! The two Dharma images Zhang Nuo had just released were definitely not External Incarnations! That powerful momentum could completely contend with the Dharma images created by the black and white halberds! But for some reason, Zhang Nuo had quickly withdrawn them again!

The clash between the two just now had opened the eyes of the group from the Great Underworld Mansion; although there had been no physical collision between the Demon Emperor and Zhang Nuo, the clash of their Magic Treasures was also dangerous to the extreme! Even the slightest oversight would lead to immediate death!

Su Haizhen, standing at the gate of Yulong Immortal Mountain, had been watching the sky; she had also broken into a cold sweat for Zhang Nuo during the previous strike! If it were her, she likely would have had no possibility of dodging it at all! Her dark eyebrows furrowed tightly, and Su Haizhen began to take the Demon Emperor seriously! This fellow with only Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivation possessed cultivation and divine abilities far exceeding those of the same rank; with his strength, even for a cultivator with Late Stage strength like Zhang Nuo, it would not be so easy to kill him!

High in the sky, Zhang Nuo took a deep breath; it seemed that without using some major divine abilities, he would never be able to force the Demon Emperor to use the Heavenly Demon Cauldron!

He glanced downward and saw that the giant Golden Brick was still suppressing the 'Heaven Splitting Scissors' tightly! It could not move a single bit!

Just in the time Zhang Nuo paused, the two black and white Dharma images rushed toward him again, but this time Zhang Nuo would not fall for the same trick! He turned his figure and flapped his Butterfly Wings several times, leaving an afterimage in mid-air as he charged directly toward the Demon Emperor!

Constantly dodging was not a solution, so Zhang Nuo also adopted an offensive stance; while flying, he flipped one hand, and 'Autumn Water Home' appeared in his hand. After unfolding it with a 'pop', Zhang Nuo poured Spirit Power into it continuously and took the opportunity to fan it fiercely at the Demon Emperor!

At this moment, the distance between Zhang Nuo and the Demon Emperor was several hundred zhang; under this fan of 'Autumn Water Home', several fierce winds suddenly blew in the void between the two!

Wind was originally an intangible thing, but under the full drive of the folding fan, it actually became substantial! Wind Blades, visible to the naked eye, were like ten thousand spirit snakes rampaging through the sky, flashing rapidly as they all pounced toward the Demon Emperor!

Because the Demon Emperor's Magic Treasure with the strongest defensive power, the Golden Brick, was being used to suppress the 'Heaven Splitting Scissors', the Demon Emperor had only the path of escape!

Seeing the Wind Blades attacking, the Demon Emperor's escape light rose, and he rushed toward the high sky! Although he had dodged this strike, the Great Underworld Mansion cultivators behind him were not so lucky!

The dozens of people closest to him were terrified and at a loss the moment they saw the Demon Emperor suddenly dodge; before they could even summon their Magic Treasures to defend, the rampaging Wind Blades had already reached them!

Screams could be heard incessantly! More than a dozen people were struck by the Wind Blades, severed limbs and arms fell from mid-air one after another, and a thick Blood Mist slowly dissipated in the air where several people had fallen!

The Demon Emperor looked down and could not help but frown; he had only thought about escaping just now and had actually forgotten that his own people were behind him! Among the dozen or so who had fallen, there was actually a Golden Core Middle Stage cultivator!

Although Zhang Nuo's strike had not injured the Demon Emperor, killing more than a dozen people from the Great Underworld Mansion could be considered a gain! The next moment, he did not dare to linger in place, because there were still two Dharma images chasing him from behind! With a sway of his figure, Zhang Nuo escaped another several hundred zhang, flipped his hand again, and summoned the 'Measuring Heaven Ruler'!
