Chapter 459: The Power of Hatred

As soon as Zhang Nuo charged into the "Hongjun Immortal Mountain," wherever his gaze fell, there was nothing but battle between his side's cultivators and those of the Great Underworld Mansion; the radiance of various Magic Treasures swirled incessantly in the sky! Shouts! Screams! They rose and fell one after another!

In order to stop the people of the Mo Tie Alliance and the Giant Spirit Pavilion from charging into the Immortal Mountain, the group of cultivators from the Great Underworld Mansion were each fearless of death, and there even occurred instances of them self-destructing to injure the enemy!

On the side of the Great Underworld Mansion, although the number of cultivators was far less than that of the Mo Tie Alliance, their overall strength was extremely powerful! For a time, the two sides engaged in a brutal slaughter at the mountain gate! Cultivators were constantly falling from mid-air!

"Alliance Leader Hai! You and I shall charge into the Hongjun Immortal Mountain; as long as we can be the first to behead Qin Xiaofeng, we might even be able to reduce some casualties!"

"Very well!"

Watching the cultivators of the Mo Tie Alliance fall one after another, Hai Wuqing also felt terrible inside; if it were not for this Hongjun Immortal Mountain, he would never have agreed to launch a war of such scale!

Responding with a word, Hai Wuqing charged toward the interior of the Immortal Mountain first, with Zhang Nuo following closely behind. Several disciples of the Great Underworld Mansion came out to intercept them, but it was of no use at all. Only to see Hai Wuqing open his mouth slightly and spit out several streaks of green light; in the blink of an eye, the dozen or so cultivators blocking his path were decapitated, turning into a Blood Mist in mid-air!

Although Zhang Nuo was behind, he did not show any weakness either; as he flicked his ten fingers in succession, hundreds of streaks of Sword Qi shot out, also slaughtering the cultivators who were pouncing toward him!

The two had not flown far forward when suddenly a roar erupted from the ground. At the same time, a Magic Treasure radiating black light soared into the sky, its target being none other than Zhang Nuo!

With a shift of his Divine Sense, Zhang Nuo instantly locked onto the object attacking him. Sensing the powerful might emanating from it, he guessed in his heart that the person who had unleashed this item might be a cultivator at the Nascent Soul Stage!

Flashing his figure in mid-air to dodge the attack, Zhang Nuo looked downward and saw a red-haired man looking up at him. When the strike missed, a red glint flashed in the man's eyes! With a hateful wave of his hand, the previously unleashed Magic Treasure returned to his palm; it was strikingly a long blade that had not been drawn from its scabbard!

"Chi Bilie!"

Upon seeing this person, an inexplicable rage surged in Zhang Nuo's heart, and bloodshot veins spread across his eyes! He had not expected to encounter Chi Bilie the moment he entered the Immortal Mountain!

Looking at his red hair and fierce expression, Zhang Nuo felt as if he had returned to that dilapidated temple by Heiniu Village all those years ago; he thought of Zhu Tong, and thought even more of his parents and everyone in the village!

"Alliance Leader Hai, you go ahead! This person and I have an irreconcilable blood feud! I must kill him with my own hands!"

Hai Wuqing looked at the incredibly furious Zhang Nuo; since he had known Zhang Nuo, he had never seen him like this before. Impulsiveness was a great taboo for cultivators, yet the current Zhang Nuo was completely reckless! The murderous aura on his body was unstoppable, like a volcanic eruption!

"Pavilion Master Zhang, please compose yourself!"

Hai Wuqing shook his head slightly; under such circumstances, for Zhang Nuo to make such a decision was truly beyond his expectations! However, even if he wanted to make Zhang Nuo calm down now, he was afraid it would be impossible!

It seemed that no matter how high one's cultivation was, once tainted by hatred, even the most composed person would have moments of being blinded by it! With a slight nod, Hai Wuqing continued to charge toward the top of the Hongjun Immortal Mountain!

Below, Chi Bilie saw that Hai Wuqing was about to leave and immediately wanted to intercept him, but a figure flashed by and blocked him directly!

"Long time no see! Chi Bilie!"

Zhang Nuo forcibly suppressed the hatred in his heart, making his agitated mind calm down, but the surging murderous aura on his face could still not be suppressed!

"Zhang Nuo! I didn't expect that the fish that slipped through the net back then would actually have the ability to contend with me now!"

Recalling the scene in the dilapidated temple back then, Chi Bilie found it hard to believe; was this still that child? The current Zhang Nuo had powerful cultivation and stood out from the crowd! He was simply overbearing!

"I have waited for over a hundred years, and finally, I have this opportunity! Father! Mother! May your spirits in heaven not dissipate! Nuo Er has avenged you!"

The hatred in his heart could not be overcome by reason after all. With a long howl, Zhang Nuo flicked all ten fingers, and hundreds of streaks of Sword Qi emitted a "chi-chi" sound of tearing through the air, shooting toward Chi Bilie!

"Kill me! Keep dreaming! I will send you to reunite with your parents right now!"

Retreating his figure, Chi Bilie grabbed the hilt of the blade with one hand and pulled left and right; a red flash of lightning struck before him, and immediately, a five-foot-long Blood-colored Long Blade appeared in his hand!

With a flick of his wrist, a dozen streaks of blade light shot into the sky, blocking all of the Sword Qi Zhang Nuo had attacked with. At the same time, the Blood-colored Long Blade let out a soft hum, and as a few blade flowers danced, a bloody stench permeated the mid-air!

Zhang Nuo did not waste time on Chi Bilie after his first strike missed; his shoulders shrugged, and his Black Butterfly Wings emerged. On the other hand, he flipped both hands simultaneously to unleash the Four Spirits Square Cauldron and the Autumn Water Home.

With a soft "pa" sound, the folding fan opened, and with a sweep of it, several gusts of wild wind rolled out. The bloody stench just released by the Blood-colored Long Blade was blown away! The remaining power did not stop, and the remaining Wind Blades slashed toward Chi Bilie!

On the other side, the Four Spirits Square Cauldron spun round and round, and a large amount of purple electric arcs surged from within! Zhang Nuo pinched a spell with one hand and unleashed the "Thunder Art!"

From the very start, Zhang Nuo had almost no reservations; he used kill moves from the moment he struck! Chi Bilie defended against the Wind Blades while looking at Zhang Nuo in the distant sky, his heart filled with astonishment!

It seemed the rumors from the outside world were not wrong at all! This little fiend was like a god or demon descended to the world, possessing numerous sharp Magic Treasures in his hands! Every move was intended to be fatal!

If it weren't for the fact that he had obtained this Blood-colored Long Blade in the First Immortal Mountain earlier, he truly wouldn't have known what Magic Treasure to use to contend with him!

As soon as the Wind Blades were slashed away, Chi Bilie placed his middle finger on the edge of the Blood-colored Long Blade! With a soft "shua" sound, the long blade cut his fingertip, leaving a fresh bloodstain on the blade!

At the same time, the long blade, having tasted fresh blood, let out a mournful cry, and numerous blood-colored Fowen appeared on the surface of the blade. A rumbling sound came from the blade! At this moment, the heavens and earth changed color, and countless Spiritual Qi gathered toward the long blade from all directions!

The red blade light became brighter and brighter, until finally, it was so piercing that one could barely open their eyes! Zhang Nuo, pinching the "Thunder Art" spell, narrowed his eyes as he watched the bizarre transformation of the Blood-colored Long Blade!

This blade could actually absorb the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth, and it was not picky—whether it was Spiritual Qi, Demonic Qi, or Yin Qi, it devoured all power! As the power within the blade grew, Zhang Nuo also sensed a signal of danger!

He who strikes first gains the advantage; he who strikes later suffers! Thinking of this, Zhang Nuo flipped his palm, and a small purple ball of light appeared in it! With a soft shout, he struck it toward Chi Bilie with a reversed palm!

The "Purple Lightning Wild Thunder," highly concentrated by the "Thunder Art," carried a tremendous might as it lunged straight toward Chi Bilie! He had known before that Zhang Nuo could control "Purple Lightning Wild Thunder," so when Chi Bilie saw that small purple ball of light, he had already prepared himself in his heart!

He swung the radiant Blood-colored Long Blade in his hand and slashed fiercely at the purple ball of light! As this blade was slashed out, the surrounding space emitted a series of explosions, and the rumbling sound was incessant! A blade light, fully several dozen feet long, slashed over like Mount Tai pressing down, with the force of a hot knife through butter!

Although the ball of light formed by the "Thunder Art" had extraordinary power, its defensive capability was very low; as long as it was subjected to external power fluctuations, it had the possibility of bursting at any time!

Just as the huge blade light was about to slash onto the ball of light, Zhang Nuo shifted his Divine Sense and stacked the hand seals between his fingers! Suddenly, the purple light flashed in mid-air and disappeared!

The blade light slashed through empty air with a "shua" sound! Chi Bilie widened his eyes, unable to believe everything before him! Where had the ball of light gone? A murderous, cold sneer appeared on the corner of Zhang Nuo's mouth; just now, he had used the "Instant Sword" technique to quickly move the purple ball of light to a position directly above Chi Bilie's head! In this way, he could ensure that the full might of the "Purple Lightning Wild Thunder" would be applied to him!

Zhang Nuo flipped his hand that was pinching the seal abruptly, and a purple Fowen flashed across his palm. At the same time, Chi Bilie felt the pressure above his head rise sharply! Looking up, he saw the ball of light he had just attacked appear silently no more than three feet above his head!

This shock was truly no small matter! At such a close distance, if the ball of light were to explode, all its might would be unleashed upon him without a single bit wasted! Just as he wanted to fly away, Zhang Nuo launched his attack without the slightest hesitation!

As the purple Fowen on his palm dissipated, the ball of light above Chi Bilie's head also erupted with dazzling purple light, mixed with the rumbling sound of thunder!

In an instant, within a radius of several miles, purple electric arcs densely covered the entire sky, and the "zhi-zhi" sound of the electric arcs made one's eardrums ache!

Just as the ball of light dissipated, ten thousand bolts of thunder plunged down, rushing toward Chi Bilie's body! A few feet of height meant nothing at all to these Purple Lightning Wild Thunders! In the blink of an eye, they arrived right in front of him!

It was simply too late for Chi Bilie to dodge! Helplessly, he held the Blood-colored Long Blade high and pinched a strange hand seal! He began to chant incantations!

Watching the ten thousand bolts of wild thunder fall, Zhang Nuo felt somewhat excited; the great vengeance he had thought about day and night finally had a day to be avenged. Under the attack of the Purple Lightning Wild Thunder, even if one were made of diamond, one would turn into dust!

However, things did not develop as Zhang Nuo had imagined. He saw that the ten thousand bolts of wild thunder did not strike Chi Bilie, but instead all rushed toward the Blood-colored Long Blade in his hand! It was as if there were some magic on the blade! Even if these lightning bolts wanted to escape, they could not escape at all! Such a bizarre scene made even Zhang Nuo gasp in cold air!
