Chapter 461: Slaying the Enemy with One's Own Hands
In mid-air, above Zhang Nuo's body, floated a "King of the Underworld Phantom" a zhang tall, yet the phantom's hands were brandishing two five-colored giant swords. Below, Zhang Nuo had four wings growing from his back, and swirling before him were the "Four Spirits Square Cauldron," "Autumn Water Household," and several Flying Swords! The "Measuring Heaven Ruler" he gripped tightly in his hand was also flickering with light due to his intense emotional fluctuations!
"Chi Bilie! That blood feud from over a hundred years ago will finally be settled today! Prepare to die!"
As soon as his voice fell, Zhang Nuo's four wings moved in unison, and his body instantly vanished from where he stood! At the same time, Chi Bilie in the distant sky sank his face and gripped the "Woxi Blade" in his hand even tighter!
Now, he dared not underestimate Zhang Nuo any longer! In fact, he should never have underestimated Zhang Nuo from the very beginning! Relying on this precious blade in his hand that could devour all Spirit Power attacks, he had originally thought that defeating Zhang Nuo would be something easily obtained, but everything happening before his eyes told him! He was wrong! And it was precisely because of this mistake he had made that he might very well lose his life!
As his Divine Sense moved slightly, Chi Bilie frowned heavily, raised the Blood-colored Long Blade in one hand, and a blade-light struck out from bottom to top!
On the other hand, just diagonally above him, Zhang Nuo's figure flashed into view. The "King of the Underworld Phantom" above his head wheeled the five-colored giant swords in its hands and slashed down toward the incoming blade-light like a meteor chasing the moon!
"Boom!"
When the blade-light and the five-colored giant swords collided, a loud sound that shook the heavens and earth erupted. At the moment the two immensely powerful attacks clashed, the surrounding void shattered, and five-colored rays of light intertwined with blood-colored radiance!
Following this strike, Zhang Nuo's body swayed a few times, yet he had no intention of retreating in the slightest. He flicked the "Measuring Heaven Ruler" in his hand, and with a "swish," the small ruler extended infinitely, stabbing straight toward Chi Bilie's heart!
Feeling only a flash of silver light before his eyes, a silver glow mixed with arrogant killing intent arrived right before him! Chi Bilie retreated a few steps, his Divine Sense continuously triggering the small black bell floating above his head; its size suddenly grew, and in an instant, it covered him inside!
"Hum!"
A bell toll rang out, and the Measuring Heaven Ruler struck the black bell once more! However, this time, Zhang Nuo did not leave Chi Bilie the slightest chance to catch his breath, pointing his fingers at the several Magic Treasures before him simultaneously!
"Swish! Swish!" Several sounds of breaking through the air rang out together! Regardless of whether the Magic Treasures would be damaged, he smashed them all toward the black bell! Bell toll after bell toll rang out! The deep, piercing chimes caused ripples to spread across the surrounding space!
At the same time, Zhang Nuo's figure flickered again and arrived right before the black bell! Facing this massive object that was fully four zhang in size, Zhang Nuo gritted his teeth, and a roar of decisive killing intent erupted from his mouth! The two giant swords in the hands of the "King of the Underworld Phantom" slashed simultaneously at the black giant bell!
"Hum!"
Both swords landed on the giant bell together, and five-colored Sword Qi burst forth. Zhang Nuo had poured almost all the strength within his body into this move. The moment the giant swords slashed onto the bell's surface, the rebounding force generated from the black bell's surface forcibly knocked the two giant swords out of the "King of the Underworld Phantom's" hands!
From this, it was not hard to see just how great the power of this strike was! And at this moment, Chi Bilie, hiding inside the black bell, was having an even worse time! The bell tolls echoed incessantly in his mind like maggots on rotting bones; even with his powerful Divine Sense, he could absolutely not withstand it! He covered his ears with both hands, yet he still could not stop the bell sounds from entering his ears!
In this extremely painful environment, red light flashed in Chi Bilie's eyes. Suddenly, his expression changed drastically, and bean-sized beads of sweat streamed down his forehead!
Because right before his eyes, inside the black bell, countless cracks had appeared! It was clear that these cracks were caused by Zhang Nuo's forceful attacks from the outside! If this black bell were destroyed, then the consequences that followed could be imagined! Even if he had the precious "Woxi" blade, it would be very difficult to withstand the attacks of Zhang Nuo's "King of the Underworld Phantom"!
Speed! Power! A perfect combination gathered in one person! Even without using Spirit Power to launch an attack, the might was enough to reach a shocking degree!
"Boom!"
Just at the moment Chi Bilie hesitated slightly, Zhang Nuo outside, driving the King of the Underworld Phantom, struck the black giant bell with his fists incessantly!
After four punches, the giant bell finally exhausted its power; the bell body shattered and fell to the ground as a large pile of fragments!
The moment the defensive Magic Treasure shattered, Chi Bilie appeared. He looked at the tall phantom before him in terror, his eyes filled with fear! He raised the Blood-colored Long Blade in his hand!
Blade-light burst forth. At such a close distance, Zhang Nuo had no possibility of dodging! However, Zhang Nuo had never intended to dodge; if he missed this chance to get close, it would not be so easy to kill Chi Bilie again!
Risking the danger of taking a blade-light strike head-on, Zhang Nuo's figure advanced instead of retreating! At the same time, the King of the Underworld Phantom extended one hand and grabbed toward the incoming blood-colored blade-light!
With a loud rumbling sound, the moment the blade-light made contact with the phantom's palm, a massive amount of power exploded, almost blasting one of the King of the Underworld Phantom's arms to pieces!
Zhang Nuo was also affected by this explosion; his figure swayed, and a trail of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, yet he still did not retreat. Before the residual power of the explosion had dissipated, his four wings moved in unison, and with a "swish," he closed the distance to Chi Bilie once again!
And the phantom's palm, which had just been destroyed by the blade-light attack, was recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Whoosh!
While closing in on Chi Bilie, the phantom's other palm clenched its five fingers tightly, and it struck a punch toward Chi Bilie's head! If this strike landed, let alone a human head, even a mountain would be leveled to the ground!
Feeling the fierce wind of the punch rushing toward his face, Chi Bilie shrank his neck in fear. Too late to activate other Magic Treasures, he simply held the Blood-colored Long Blade in his hand upright to block this strike!
Boom!
Another loud sound rang out, and the King of the Underworld Phantom's fist slammed heavily onto the "Woxi" blade! Feeling a massive force transmitted through it, Chi Bilie's body flew backward rapidly like a kite with a broken string!
This strike caused severe internal injuries to his internal organs, and a sword of blood sprayed from his mouth, leaving a long line of blood in mid-air!
Although he had taken a strike head-on, Chi Bilie did not regret it in the slightest, a cold sneer appearing at the corner of his mouth, because in this way, the distance between him and Zhang Nuo had increased! But his joy did not last long; the cold sneer that had just appeared vanished, replaced by a fear that had reached the point of despair!
Once Zhang Nuo landed a hit, he absolutely would not give his opponent any time to catch his breath, flapping his four wings a few times! His figure vanished from where he stood! What Chi Bilie had overlooked just now was precisely Zhang Nuo's speed! He had actually forgotten that Zhang Nuo had two pairs of wings on his back!
His body was still in the state of being blasted away, and though he wanted to forcibly stop, he had no way to do so! At this moment, Zhang Nuo appeared behind him! The King of the Underworld Phantom waved its hands! It struck out two more punches!
Feeling the terrifying power behind him! Chi Bilie forcibly turned around, similarly using the Blood-colored Long Blade to defend against these two punches!
Boom! Boom!
Two loud bangs sounded almost at the same time. Chi Bilie, who had been flying backward at high speed, was sent folding back along his original path after receiving these two heavy blows!
The power of this strike was also far greater than the previous one. Chi Bilie felt as if his internal organs were about to be shaken into pieces! Blood flowed from all seven orifices! He didn't even dare to open his mouth, fearing that if he did, his internal organs would spray out!
Having landed two hits, Zhang Nuo was even less willing to let go of such a great opportunity! A roar of vengeance, joyful to the extreme, erupted from his mouth! His four wings moved in unison and he vanished from where he stood again!
The next moment, he appeared behind Chi Bilie again. It was the same technique; after the phantom struck two punches, Chi Bilie was sent flying back along the original path again!
This repeated no less than six times, and Chi Bilie had almost completely lost consciousness! He was only instinctively turning around in mid-air to use the Blood-colored Long Blade to block the attacks!
For the final strike, Zhang Nuo exhausted all his strength, blasting him directly onto the ground! At the same time, Zhang Nuo's body landed right before him!
One could see that at this moment, Chi Bilie's eyes were almost blasted out of their sockets, his mouth and nose were full of blood foam, yet that pair of palms still maintained the posture of holding the blade!
"Father! Mother! Your son has avenged you!"
Zhang Nuo roared loudly, almost crazed. There were no other thoughts left in his mind; scene after scene, all of them were of that huge blood pool in the center of the village back then! It was as if he could still smell the faint, fishy scent of blood drifting from the blood pool at this moment!
Pale Kuluotou were placed all around the blood pool! They seemed to be weeping silently all the time! These were the mists that would never be wiped from Zhang Nuo's heart! The shadows that would never be shaken off in this lifetime!
And all of this was because of the person before him! To resolve the hatred in his heart, he drew his sword to slay his enemy! Zhang Nuo, as if gone mad, drove the King of the Underworld Phantom, smashing punch after punch onto the Blood-colored Long Blade!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Every heavy blow caused the earth to tremble! Within a radius of several tens of li around Zhang Nuo, the ground was even sinking bit by bit!
And Chi Bilie, hiding beneath the long blade, had long since stopped breathing! His physical body had turned into a pile of bloody, mangled mush! Even his Nascent Soul had been reduced to nothingness under the bombardment of the massive force! However, Zhang Nuo still refused to stop! With every punch he threw, he would roar loudly! It was as if all the grievances of these years were being vented at this moment!
After the last few punches were thrown! One could hear "Crack! Crack!" sounds of shattering! The Blood-colored Long Blade that had been blocking for Chi Bilie all this time finally could not withstand this massive force and snapped into several pieces! As the Spiritual Qi dissipated, it lost all its luster, becoming no different from scrap iron!
Only then did Zhang Nuo stop his hands, looking up at the sky, two lines of blood-tears streaming from his eyes!
