Chapter 462: Slaughter

The cultivators from both sides battling at the mountain gate were stunned by this shocking scene before them! At this moment, a deep pit tens of miles wide had appeared on the ground where Zhang Nuo was standing!

Zhang Nuo stood in the very center of the pit, looking up at the firmament, though no one knew what he was thinking! A host of Magic Treasures circled around him, their radiance even dimmed by a few shades!

A figure rushed out from the battle group and reached Zhang Nuo in an instant! This person was none other than Su Haizhen. Seeing Zhang Nuo's appearance, which was like that of a fierce god or evil spirit, her heart was shaken; having spent so much time with Zhang Nuo, she had never seen him go so berserk!

Two lines of bright red blood-tears hung distinctly on his face! Who says a man does not shed tears? It is only because the time for sorrow has not yet arrived! The grief accumulated in the depths of Zhang Nuo's heart was finally vented at this moment, the very moment he had slain Chi Bilie!

"Husband!"

Su Haizhen's soft call seemed to summon Zhang Nuo back from the Nine Netherworlds! He slowly lowered his head, his blood-red eyes gazing at the beautiful woman before him!

After a deep sigh, Zhang Nuo's Divine Sense stirred slightly, and all the Magic Treasures circling him submerged into his body! He reached out and wiped the blood-tears from his face!

"I am fine! I have already killed one! Now only that old thing Jin Buhuan remains!"

Zhang Nuo's teeth gnashed with a 'clacking' sound. He had originally had the chance to kill Jin Buhuan, but due to a momentary oversight, he had let him slip away!

"You had best calm down now! This battle concerns not only your personal vendetta, but there are also tens of thousands of cultivators behind you. If any slip-up occurs, all previous efforts will be wasted!"

As an outsider, Su Haizhen was much calmer than Zhang Nuo, yet facing such a deep grudge as the murder of one's parents, she found it difficult to say much more and could only gently offer a reminder!

Zhang Nuo turned his head back, looking at the brutal battle still raging at the mountain gate, and his mind could not help but waver! He saw that in just a short time, the land of Hongjun Immortal Mountain had already been dyed red with blood! Countless severed limbs and arms could be seen everywhere! High in the sky, tens of thousands of cultivators were still slaughtering each other!

"I understand! Go and help them! I am going to find Hai Wuqing!"

Zhang Nuo's calm words were extremely low, as if they had come from an abyss! He lightly stomped his left foot on the ground, and a vast expanse of escape light immediately surged from his body, following the direction in which Hai Wuqing had previously fled!

Su Haizhen raised her eyebrows slightly and glanced at the place where Chi Bilie had died. There, only a destroyed Blood-colored Long Blade and a large patch of bloodstains remained; as for the corpse, it had long since turned to dust! The attack power of the 'Immovable Underworld King' phantom was definitely not something a cultivator could withstand with their physical body alone!

Furthermore, Chi Bilie had been struck by Zhang Nuo dozens of times, to say the least! Such an attack would turn even a mountain peak into a basin!

While in the escape light, Zhang Nuo's heart still could not find peace! The thrill of revenge had only lingered in his heart for a moment before vanishing without a trace! Replacing it was that endless sorrow once more!

Just as his figure was flying rapidly, two pitch-black beams of light struck out like lightning from a high platform somewhere on the Immortal Mountain, reaching him in the blink of an eye!

Zhang Nuo's wide-open Divine Sense felt the danger, and he immediately collected his focus while dropping toward the ground. With two 'whoosh' sounds of air being pierced, the beams of light missed him!

Looking up at the high platform, he saw several Great Underworld Mansion cultivators standing on the four-zhang-high structure, holding various Array Disks in their hands! With a sudden cold snort, Zhang Nuo immediately rushed to the base of the platform. At this moment, the few cultivators on the platform were already scared out of their wits.

This high platform was merely used for an ambush; once a strike failed and they were discovered by a high-level cultivator, there was no way they would survive! Zhang Nuo raised his right hand, a bloodstain split open in his palm, and several green branches directly grabbed the four-to-five-zhang-thick platform firmly!

As Zhang Nuo exerted force with his palm, with a loud 'Boom—' rumble, the platform collapsed accordingly! The few cultivators on the platform could no longer care about any Dharma Array and each drove their Flying Magic Tools to flee! These cultivators were at most at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage; they would never be foolish enough to fight a Nascent Soul Stage monster like Zhang Nuo!

But it was impossible for them to escape unscathed! Zhang Nuo's blood-red eyes erupted with biting killing intent once more! He did not want to let a single person from the Great Underworld Mansion go, even if they knelt and begged for mercy!

With a flick of his sleeves, several rays of white light shot out with such speed that they left no flight trails in the sky! After a few screams, the cultivators who had fled from the platform were all struck by the Flying Sword and fell from mid-air!

Having finished all this, Zhang Nuo did not stop at all and drove his escape light to continue flying toward the interior of the Immortal Mountain! Along the way, whenever he encountered cultivators intercepting him, he would kill them instantly! The ruthlessness of his strikes made the cultivators of the Great Underworld Mansion tremble with fear!

After flying for a while, Zhang Nuo had already moved far away from the battle at the mountain gate. Looking ahead, he saw waves of not-insignificant power fluctuations surging like undercurrents! It seemed there were countless ambushes here! With his Divine Sense wide open, Zhang Nuo wanted to find Hai Wuqing's figure, but even with his powerful Divine Sense, he still could not find a trace of him!

His heart sank slightly; Zhang Nuo felt something was wrong! In terms of escape speed, Hai Wuqing, who was in the late stage, was not much slower than him, but being inside 'Hongjun Immortal Mountain', he could not possibly exert his full speed!

Furthermore, the time Zhang Nuo had spent fighting Chi Bilie was not very long, and an ominous premonition rose in his heart! If something happened to Hai Wuqing, the group from the Mo Tie Alliance would definitely not follow Zhang Nuo's commands!

Thinking of this, a yellow-earth-colored light surged from Zhang Nuo's body, released by the Yellow Earth Armor under full activation! Zhang Nuo had been unwilling to easily use this precious armor obtained from Wei Juren, but now it was a necessity! At the same time, a gray light mist also wrapped around the surface of the yellow light!

Aided by the protective spiritual light of the 'Immovable Underworld King' and the protection of the Yellow Earth Armor, Zhang Nuo unleashed his full escape speed and rushed toward the depths of Hongjun Immortal Mountain!

Just as he expected, countless hidden Dharma Arrays in front of him triggered rays of light, and wave after wave of attacks were launched crazily from the ground!

Zhang Nuo dodged continuously through the gaps in the numerous attacks! His goal was only one: to catch up with Hai Wuqing ahead as quickly as possible! While flying, he occasionally released a few streaks of Sword Qi to destroy some hidden Dharma Arrays! In this way, charging and killing all the way, Zhang Nuo had killed nearly hundreds of Great Underworld Mansion disciples!

But the closer he got to the top of the Immortal Mountain, the more violent these attacks became! After waving his hand to disperse a beam of light attacking him, Zhang Nuo looked into the distance and saw a large black palace standing on the Immortal Mountain, and above the palace, two figures were fighting for their lives! The sounds of Magic Treasures colliding echoed endlessly over the Immortal Mountain!

As soon as his Divine Sense felt this, Zhang Nuo immediately recognized the two: they were Hai Wuqing and Qin Xiaofeng. The two were locked in a fierce battle, but it was clear that with Hai Wuqing's strength alone, he was no match for Qin Xiaofeng! Although he would not be in danger for a moment, he would undoubtedly be defeated if it dragged on!

"Brother Hai, do not worry! Zhang is here!"

Silently circulating his Mysterious Technique, Zhang Nuo let out a long roar. Hai Wuqing, who was fighting Qin Xiaofeng, heard this and used a gap in his attacks to glance into the distance, seeing Zhang Nuo flying toward him at full speed under the protection of multiple lights!

He let out a long sigh of relief! Hai Wuqing had finally waited for Zhang Nuo to arrive! After the two had separated earlier, Hai Wuqing had flown toward the interior of the Immortal Mountain alone! Strangely, he had not encountered any obstruction along the way. When he arrived at the black palace, he saw a handsome man floating in mid-air, quietly watching him!

This person was Qin Xiaofeng! However, what disappointed Qin Xiaofeng was that the person he was waiting for was Zhang Nuo, not him! But since he had come, he did not say much, and the two soon began to fight!

Once the battle started, Hai Wuqing's heart sank. The Qin Xiaofeng before him was worthy of being the person in charge of the Great Underworld Mansion; despite his cultivation being a small realm lower than his own, his supernatural powers were not weak at all. After several exchanges, he had not gained any advantage and had instead nearly been injured! Just as he was feeling anxious, Zhang Nuo appeared!

One man's joy is another man's sorrow! When Qin Xiaofeng saw Zhang Nuo's figure, he felt a sense of unease! The news he had received earlier said that Zhang Nuo was fighting Chi Bilie; how could Zhang Nuo have arrived here in such a short time? Could it be that Chi Bilie had fallen?

Just as he was suspicious, Hai Wuqing launched several consecutive attacks, forcing him to retreat step by step!

"Stop Zhang Nuo for me! Do not let him get close!"

Qin Xiaofeng's thoughts turned extremely fast. He had not yet finished off Hai Wuqing, and if Zhang Nuo were added to the mix, he would have even less chance of winning!

After shouting toward a spot on the ground, two loud booms suddenly came from deep underground, and at the same time, two beams of light, each a zhang thick, shot into the sky! They blocked Zhang Nuo's path perfectly!

The moment the light dissipated, Zhang Nuo's figure retreated rapidly! His pupils shrank suddenly! His expression also became extremely ugly! He saw two huge Bronze Puppets appearing before him in the mid-air ahead!

Each of these two puppets was over two zhang tall and looked like a human, with all four limbs and a head, and the cultivation aura radiating from their bodies was at the level of the Nascent Soul Late Stage!

This was not what shocked Zhang Nuo the most! Behind the two puppets stood an old man! His eyes, like those of a hawk, stared fixedly at him, wishing he could tear Zhang Nuo into pieces right then and there!
