Chapter 460: Woxi Blade

Watching ten thousand bolts of lightning converge straight toward the blood-colored long blade in Chi Bilie's hand, Zhang Nuo's expression turned extremely ugly!

If others didn't know the power of the "Purple Lightning Wild Thunder," how could he not? This kind of lightning, rare in the world, let alone a blade, even the sturdiest defensive Dharma Treasure would likely not be able to take it so easily!

Yet everything happening before his eyes was real! He saw Chi Bilie's eyes turn blood-red, holding the long blade high above his head, the red hair on his scalp standing almost entirely on end! Under the eerie glow of the purple electric arcs, he appeared even more ferocious and terrifying!

Previously, due to absorbing external power, the blood-colored long blade itself had already been dazzlingly bright; now, having received the power of the "Purple Lightning Wild Thunder" once more, the long blade was even more blinding, resembling a small sun!

"Haha! Is Zhang Nuo only capable of this? I thought you were some remarkable character!"

Suddenly shaking the blood-colored long blade in his hand, Chi Bilie gathered all the "Purple Lightning Wild Thunder" from the sky into the blade's body! What he held in his hand at this moment was not a blade at all, but a mass of blood-colored light!

Zhang Nuo's brows were tightly furrowed, and the muscles on his face could not help but twitch! Such a bizarre event was something he had never heard of before!

"Senior! Have you ever seen this kind of Magic Treasure?"

Forced by necessity, he had no choice but to ask Chunyangzi for help!

"When you were fooling that Ye girl earlier, didn't you tell me to keep quiet? Now you remember me!"

Chunyangzi said leisurely, not taking Zhang Nuo's anxiety seriously at all! Zhang Nuo was speechless for a moment; what kind of situation was this, for the old fellow to still be teasing him!

Before he could transmit his voice again, he saw Chi Bilie opposite him let out a long howl, simultaneously grabbing the long blade—which had already turned into a mass of blood-light—with both hands, and swung it down with the force of splitting Mount Hua!

The power of this strike seemed as if it would tear the sky apart! The blood-colored blade radiance was over a hundred zhang long, as urgent as a gale and as fast as lightning! With a *swish*, it arrived above Zhang Nuo's head!

Feeling the sound of the void shattering where the blade radiance passed, Zhang Nuo dared not use his own Magic Treasure to resist it head-on. Immediately, he flapped the wings on his back and, like a gentle breeze, dodged a hundred zhang away!

Even so, the gale stirred up by the blood-colored blade radiance as it swept across the sky still made his exposed skin ache faintly! If he had been struck directly by the blade radiance, even with a profound cultivation method like the "Immovable Underworld King" protecting his body, he would have perished instantly!

After the shock in his heart subsided, Zhang Nuo cast his gaze back to Chi Bilie's hand, only to see that the blood-colored long blade in his hand had dimmed significantly after this strike! However, the power of heaven and earth was still continuously pouring into the blood-colored body!

Having missed with one strike, Chi Bilie showed no signs of disappointment; he merely curled his lip slightly, changed the blade pattern in his hand, and immediately, a dozen more blade radiances shot out simultaneously! They slashed toward Zhang Nuo from different directions!

This time, the blade radiances were clearly not as overbearing as before, but Zhang Nuo still had lingering fears! He used his speed advantage to dodge them all! Just as he dodged, he pointed a finger at the Qiushui Wind Family fan in front of him! In an instant, the folding fan expanded to over a zhang in size, and the landscape painted on the fan seemed to come alive; gusts of vast, wild wind rose into the sky! With a howl, they lunged toward Chi Bilie!

"Hmph! Is this all the ability you have?"

A cold snort came from his nose. Watching the overwhelming wild wind rushing toward him, Chi Bilie opened his mouth slightly, and a mass of Yin Qi rolled out. As it spun around, a small bell flew out from within!

This bell was entirely black, with countless Fowen inscribed on its surface. Its form expanded instantly, covering Chi Bilie inside it! At the same time, the countless wild winds sent by the Qiushui Wind Family also reached him!

*Hum! *

The wild wind lashed against the black small bell, emitting a series of faint rings, but the defensive power of this bell was also extremely formidable! Where the wild wind passed, it only left a few marks on the surface, and nothing more!

Seeing that one strike had such an effect, Zhang Nuo did not give up. He flipped one hand abruptly, and the Measuring Heaven Ruler was summoned. With a light flick of his wrist, the small ruler's form rapidly elongated!

In the ringing of his ears, he heard a *clang* as the other end of the small ruler struck the surface of the black small bell directly! In this way, the Measuring Heaven Ruler acted as a bell hammer; the deep bell tolling lasted for a long time before slowly dissipating. When Chi Bilie emerged from the bell, his eyeballs were still spinning non-stop in their sockets! His body swayed a few times before stabilizing! It seemed the impact of the bell ringing was not small for him either!

Through several exchanges of moves, Zhang Nuo finally discovered a problem: the blood-colored long blade in Chi Bilie's hand seemed to only be able to absorb attacks formed by Spiritual Qi; in other words, it had no absorption effect on physical objects at all!

"Senior! Even if you don't say it, I have already guessed the mystery of that blade!"

Zhang Nuo transmitted his voice to Chunyangzi, his tone extremely smug!

"Hey! So what if you guessed it, kid? Can you even get close to him?"

Chunyangzi said unpleasantly.

"That is still much better than having no way at all! What is the origin of that blade, and why is it so heaven-defying?"

Just the fact that it can absorb external power alone makes this blade a supreme treasure!

"If I am not mistaken, this blade is named 'Woxi!' It is a strange object that circulated in the Immortal World a long time ago! I never expected it to have fallen onto the Xianhuan Continent! It seems the cultivators on the Xian Dalu in the past truly possessed great divine abilities!"

This time, Chunyangzi did not make things difficult for Zhang Nuo, but spoke quite seriously.

"'Woxi!' Truly a nice name! But I must properly experience it!"

As he spoke, Zhang Nuo flipped his palm, and a mass of silver flames rose up with a *whoosh*! With a wave, it transformed into a pair of flame wings in front of him! It was the "Wing Transformation Technique" from the "Flame Control Technique!"

Taking a slight step forward, he positioned the flame wings behind him, and immediately, the wings embedded themselves under Zhang Nuo's ribs with a *swish*! With a light flap of the four wings, they coordinated perfectly!

In the distance, Chi Bilie watched the two pairs of wings flapping non-stop behind Zhang Nuo, and a sense of shock arose in his heart! For birds, wings are the primary tool for flight, and for cultivators, they are also the most direct and effective way to increase speed. At this moment, with two pairs of wings behind Zhang Nuo, the terrifying nature of his speed could be imagined!

Sure enough, before Chi Bilie could finish his thought, he saw Zhang Nuo's four wings move in unison, and like a gentle breeze, he vanished from where he stood!

"Not good!"

What kind of person was Chi Bilie! The moment Zhang Nuo's figure vanished, he felt an uneasy agitation behind him! With a movement of his Divine Sense, the black small bell returned to a size of one foot and hovered directly above his head, with streams of Yin Qi pouring down from inside the bell body! It protected him completely within!

At the same time, Chi Bilie turned his body, and with a backhand, he slashed a blade toward the void behind him! The blade radiance emitted a *chi-chi* sound as it tore through the air. Just as he swung this blade, Zhang Nuo's figure appeared a hundred zhang behind him. Just as he was about to unleash a killing blow, he saw a blinding blade radiance rushing toward him!

He was greatly startled; he had not expected Chi Bilie's Divine Sense to be so sharp! To have detected where he was about to appear so quickly! Moving his four wings again, Zhang Nuo had no choice but to flee to avoid the blade radiance!

After repeating this several times, cold sweat appeared on Zhang Nuo's forehead! The opponent's precise Divine Sense detection ability was truly too troublesome; no matter from which angle he appeared, Chi Bilie's blade radiance would always attack first!

"You want to defeat me with speed! It's not that easy! My Divine Sense is something even that fellow Qin Xiaofeng cannot hope to reach! You might as well just wait for death!"

Chi Bilie had been thrown into a flurry by Zhang Nuo's several rapid sneak attacks, and now, having just caught his breath, he said with great disdain!

Two flashes of light flickered in Zhang Nuo's eyes; what Chi Bilie said was not a lie! With the Divine Sense he had cultivated through the "Inner Scene Art," it would likely be difficult to achieve this! As his thoughts raced, since the sneak attack strategy relying on speed wouldn't work, he would have to fight head-on!

Thinking of this, Zhang Nuo shook his entire body, and at the same time, let out a long howl. A gray light mist surged out from his body, and in the blink of an eye, it formed a phantom image above him! It was the "Underworld King Phantom Image!"

Since the "Woxi" blade in Chi Bilie's hand could absorb all attacks driven by Spirit Power, then he would have to break it with brute force! The only thing Zhang Nuo felt fortunate about was that he was a Dharma-Body Dual Cultivation practitioner; if he only practiced Dharma cultivation, he would likely be truly helpless against Chi Bilie!

The moment the "Underworld King Phantom Image" appeared, the red light in Chi Bilie's eyes flared intensely! It was a feeling of extreme fear! When he had heard his disciples say that Zhang Nuo practiced Underworld divine abilities, he hadn't cared much at the time, but now seeing it with his own eyes, his heart was filled with shock!

The "Underworld King Phantom Image"—that is a Dharma image that only appears after one has cultivated Underworld cultivation methods to a certain degree! Although the phantom image was still relatively faint at this moment, the power radiating from it could not be underestimated!

No wonder Zhang Nuo was able to withstand the Demon Emperor's Yin and Yang Qi Dharma image with the power of the phantom image alone! Just as Chi Bilie was startled, another thing almost made his jaw drop to the ground!

He saw Zhang Nuo flip both hands simultaneously, and two five-colored giant swords, each a zhang long, appeared before him. The next moment, the Underworld King Phantom Image let out a low roar! Its ethereal hands actually grabbed that pair of five-colored giant swords! Swinging them a few times, the whistling wind caused a series of vortices to appear in the surrounding air!

A ruthless look flashed in Zhang Nuo's eyes; this was the maximum power he could exert with the "Underworld King Phantom Image!" He was determined to use this strike to kill Chi Bilie, the root of the immense pain in his heart!
