Chapter 471: Settling the Universe in Three Moves

"First move!"

Following these words from Zhang Nuo, everyone felt a blur before their eyes as several points of white light surged from Zhang Nuo's body and shot straight toward Tian Zhili! The speed of this white light had reached a certain peak! It was almost invisible to the naked eye; only a few cultivators with profound cultivation could sense some of it with their Divine Sense.

Zhang Nuo's Fast Sword could not be clearly seen from a distance, but now that Tian Zhili was no more than five zhang away, the power of the Fast Sword was fully revealed!

Tian Zhili had not expected Zhang Nuo to be so overbearing the moment he made a move! Startled, he sacrificed the two Flying Swords in his hands and directed them toward Zhang Nuo's body, while simultaneously retreating to dodge the numerous sword attacks. But would Zhang Nuo ever give him that chance?

With a powerful push from his feet against the ground, his body shot out like an arrow. At the same time, two black Butterfly Wings grew from his back, and with a fierce flap, his speed increased several times over!

The two of them, one retreating and one advancing! The difference was obvious; compared to Zhang Nuo's speed, Tian Zhili was practically a snail! Leaving behind trails of afterimages in the air, Zhang Nuo swayed twice and dodged Tian Zhili's Flying Swords!

On the other hand, a white spiritual light flickered between Zhang Nuo's brows, and with a 'swish', it shot out!

"Hah! Second move!"

With an angry shout, a grey glow immediately appeared on Zhang Nuo's body. With a transformation, a phantom image about a zhang tall condensed above his head! It was none other than the 'Underworld King Phantom!'

As soon as the Underworld King Phantom appeared, it split its hands to the left and right, spread its five fingers, and reached out to embrace Tian Zhili!

"Third move!"

The phantom's two giant palms almost completely enveloped the surrounding space, leaving Tian Zhili with no path of retreat even if he wanted to! His back was instantly pressed against the palm of the Underworld King Phantom. At the same time, the Divine Sense spike Zhang Nuo had launched earlier struck him right in the center of his brow!

Only a miserable scream of "Ah!" was heard! Tian Zhili fell to the ground, clutching his head and rolling back and forth, looking to be in extreme pain!

Zhang Nuo's three moves, though they sounded slow, actually happened in the blink of an eye. The three moves were executed in one breath! Like flowing clouds and water, for the few cultivators present, the battle was over in the time it took to blink!

Inside Yulong Hall, after a moment of silence, thunderous applause suddenly erupted!

"Pavilion Master Zhang! What a divine ability!"

"Pavilion Master Zhang! What a method!"

"Too amazing! Pavilion Master Zhang is truly the number one Great Cultivator of our Xianhuan Continent!"

Among these people, some were cheering for Zhang Nuo from the heart, while others were purely bootlicking and joining in the commotion! Just making noise for the sake of it!

Yang Huzi and Liu Qingshan saw all of this. In fact, when Zhang Nuo activated the 'Underworld King Phantom', it would have been effortless to kill Tian Zhili! The only reason Zhang Nuo did not do so was entirely to give the two of them face!

Liu Qingshan flashed over to Tian Zhili's side and helped him up.

"Second Leader, are you alright!"

Tian Zhili, clutching his head with both hands, felt as if ten thousand steel needles were stabbing into his mind! He furrowed his brows tightly and could not say a word for a long time!

"Elder Liu, no need to worry! This Pavilion Master held back! Please have Fellow Daoist Tian go down to rest!"

Now that the 'Divine Sense Spike' of the fourth level of the 'Inner Scene Art' was no longer what it used to be, coupled with Zhang Nuo's greatly increased cultivation, the power of this strike was enough to keep Tian Zhili quiet for a while!

Calling two disciples to support Tian Zhili, Liu Qingshan took him and walked out of the hall! The divine ability Zhang Nuo displayed this time truly opened the eyes of everyone present! Three moves! Just these three moves were enough to beat a Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivator into this state! And discerning people could see that Zhang Nuo had held back; otherwise, this fellow named Tian Zhili would have perished long ago!

In this way, Zhang Nuo also achieved the effect of beating the grass to scare the snake. Those cultivators who were previously dissatisfied with the Giant Spirit Pavilion lost their spirit in an instant! They asked themselves if they could dodge these three moves, and they had no confidence at all!

"Third Brother! The ceremony can begin!" Zhang Nuo said after withdrawing his divine ability.

Yang Huzi looked at Zhang Nuo with gratitude! He nodded slightly! If Zhang Nuo had dealt a lethal blow today and killed Tian Zhili, he would have had absolutely nothing to say, as the Giant Spirit Pavilion's current standing was entirely built by Zhang Nuo's own hands!

"Everyone! Some unpleasant things just happened! Now the ceremony begins again!"

After saying some polite phrases, Yang Huzi began to hold the ceremony of bowing to heaven and earth!

"First bow to heaven and earth!"

"Second bow to the high hall!"

"Husband and wife bow to each other!"

"Good, the ceremony is complete! From today on, Zhang Nuo, Su Haizhen, and Ye Yuemiao are officially husband and wife! Let us all bless them together!"

A flurry of blessings erupted in the hall, while Su Mucheng squinted his eyes, looking at Zhang Nuo with a face full of smiles! Only one word was in his heart! Wonderful! So wonderful he was almost drooling!

A son-in-law like this couldn't be found even with a lantern! Just that move from earlier could be called settling the universe in three moves! It stunned everyone!

Inside the hall, everyone was drinking and exchanging cups! Each one was having a great time. Zhang Nuo was toasted the most, but for these cultivators, wine and water were not much different; as long as they used their Spiritual Pressure to suppress the alcohol, they would not get drunk at all!

The banquet lasted until late at night before slowly dispersing. Some cultivators from far away stayed directly on Yulong Immortal Mountain, while most chose to leave.

When only Yang Huzi, Zhang Nuo, and the others were left in the hall, the atmosphere became somewhat uneasy!

Zhang Nuo held his wine cup and downed the wine inside in one gulp! He raised his eyes to look at his two wives! He saw the two women smiling, holding each other's hands, and looking at him with deep affection!

"Today was supposed to be a happy occasion, but I didn't expect a mess like this from Tian Zhili!"

Zhang Nuo grabbed the wine pot beside him, filled his cup, drank it dry, and said.

"Fourth Brother! Second Brother is just a narrow-minded person! Don't take it to heart!"

Fearing that Zhang Nuo would develop a murderous intent, Yang Huzi kept speaking well of Tian Zhili on the side!

"Third Brother, don't worry! I won't do anything to him! It's just that this person's actions today were too excessive!"

With a slightly darkened expression, Zhang Nuo said noncommittally.

"Zhang Nuo! This is a matter within your pavilion, and I shouldn't have said much, but this time it might not be a bad thing! You defeated Tian Zhili within three moves! Everyone present saw it with their own eyes, so they certainly won't look for trouble with the Giant Spirit Pavilion in the future!"

Su Mucheng had not used his cultivation to suppress the alcohol, so he was a bit drunk today! He spoke without restraint, and Yang Huzi, listening from the side, was very unhappy. He had spent many years with Tian Zhili and still had some feelings for him, so he did not want an outsider to say such things!

Su Haizhen was incredibly smart! A glance from the corner of her eye revealed his displeasure! She immediately came to Su Mucheng's side and said:

"Father, you're drunk! Daughter will help you back to rest!"

After saying this, without waiting for Su Mucheng to say anything more, she forcibly took him out of the hall!

Zhang Nuo slowly stood up, his brows slightly furrowed, then he clenched his fists and shook them forcefully, spraying out quite a bit of alcohol vapor from his body with a 'swish'!

"Third Brother! Go and persuade him in a while! If Tian Zhili is willing to stay, I, Zhang Nuo, welcome him with open arms! I will never treat him poorly in the future! If he wants to leave, let him go on his own; the Giant Spirit Pavilion in the Central Province will belong to him, and I, Zhang, will never interfere! But if he doesn't choose either of these paths and insists on being my enemy... Hmph!"

Zhang Nuo only said half of his words and did not continue, flashing out of the hall! Seeing this, Ye Yuemiao followed closely behind Zhang Nuo and left!

Yang Huzi plopped down onto his chair. Zhang Nuo's words were very clear: if Tian Zhili continued to be unappreciative, he would deal a lethal blow!

Letting out a long sigh, Yang Huzi was caught in a dilemma! If it were him in today's situation, he would probably have done even more ruthlessly than Zhang Nuo!

"Second Brother! How could you...!"

Picking up the wine pot beside him, Yang Huzi drank it in one gulp, then walked out of the hall toward where Tian Zhili was! He had to resolve the matter before dawn! He could not let Tian Zhili stay until the next day!

After Zhang Nuo and Ye Yuemiao walked out of the hall, they hadn't gone far when they saw Su Haizhen walking back. The three of them walked side by side, talking a lot along the way, and by the time they returned to the Cave Abode, it was already late at night!

"Don't be unhappy because of what happened today! How about this! Let Sister Ye accompany Husband first!"

Su Haizhen pushed Ye Yuemiao into Zhang Nuo's arms in one go, then gave a wicked smile and hid to the side!

Zhang Nuo did not stand on ceremony! He lowered his head to look at the beauty in his arms! A flush of red inevitably rose on her face! Ye Yuemiao did not even dare to look at Zhang Nuo, burying her head deeply into his chest! Listening to the 'thump-thump' of his heartbeat, it felt as if twenty-five little rabbits were inside her heart, scratching and clawing! She could not calm down for a long time!

This night was destined to be an unusual night; holding two beauties in his arms! Who could possibly fall asleep? A thick, amorous atmosphere permeated the entire Cave Abode!

The next morning, Zhang Nuo walked out of the Cave Abode, looked up at the bright sunshine, and felt much better! The night before left him with endless aftertastes, and even now, thinking about it, he still felt unsatisfied!

However, now was not the time to hide in a land of gentleness; he had to go handle a matter! With a flash of escape light, Zhang Nuo rushed toward the direction of the main hall!

Not long after, upon arriving at the main hall, he saw Yang Huzi and Liu Qingshan sitting inside with miserable expressions on their faces!

"He left?"

Zhang Nuo arrived in front of the two, and seeing that neither of them was speaking, he was the first to ask.

"The Second Leader has left! Before leaving, he said that from now on, our ties are severed! We shall have no contact until death!"

When Liu Qingshan said these words, his heart felt incomparably heavy! Regardless of what kind of person Tian Zhili was, they had spent many years together; now that they were suddenly like strangers, it was inevitably somewhat painful!
