Chapter 474: Zhang Nuo! A Pirate Boss?

"Your boss is Zhang Nuo?"

Feeling a sense of absurdity, Zhang Nuo looked carefully at the pirate leader to verify this point. The others on the merchant ship also stared at the pirate leader with looks of disbelief!

They had all heard of Zhang Nuo's reputation! How could such a big figure be a pirate? It seemed there was some water in this claim! No! It was all water; it wasn't true at all!

"What, scared? If you're scared, hurry up and get far away!"

The pirate leader glanced at Zhang Nuo, his mouth curling almost to his ears! His face was full of disdain! This attitude of his, however, made the cultivators on the merchant ship feel uneasy! Not to mention anything else, for a Golden Core Stage cultivator to dare speak to a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator like this, there must be a problem! Where did he get the courage?

Zhang Nuo smiled indifferently, took a small step forward, and then his entire person appeared eerily behind that pirate leader! With a light swipe of one hand, he snatched the small golden hammer away! Then, his figure flashed again, and he returned to the merchant ship!

These movements were so fast that almost no one could see them clearly! By the time the pirate leader reacted, the Magic Treasure was already in Zhang Nuo's hands!

"You... give me back my Magic Treasure!"

Looking at his empty hands, the pirate leader let out a roar of anger! Zhang Nuo ignored him; with a movement of his Divine Sense, he wiped away the Divine Sense Mark on the 'Heaven Breaking Hammer' and imprinted his own on it instead! With a light flip of his palm, the hammer disappeared!

Feeling that he had lost his mental connection with the Magic Treasure, the pirate leader became even more anxious, but no matter how thick-headed he was, he wouldn't be stupid enough to fight a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator head-on!

"I can return the Magic Treasure to you! How about this! You take me to see your boss! As long as he really is Zhang Nuo, I will return the Magic Treasure to you!"

Zhang Nuo stood with his hands behind his back, as if speaking to a small child, his face neither angry nor happy, smiling faintly!

"I think you're looking for death! Once you see my boss, do you think you'll have a way to survive?"

"You don't need to worry about that! Just take me to see him!"

As he spoke, Zhang Nuo drifted onto the pirates' boat! Without waiting for the pirate leader to say anything else, he moved his Spirit Power, and the small boat shot toward the depths of the Mist Sea like an arrow!

The cultivators on the merchant ship were dumbfounded! What kind of business was this? How did the pirates get hijacked all of a sudden? Having sailed the seas for so many years, this was the first time they had encountered such a thing!

Zhang Nuo stood at the stern of the small boat, looking at the dozen or so pirates huddled at the bow, his face still devoid of killing intent. The only thing he wanted to figure out now was who was using his name to commit evil!

"What is your name?"

Looking toward the pirate leader, Zhang Nuo said.

"My name is Xue Meng! That... Senior, do you know where our boss lives?"

Xue Meng looked at Zhang Nuo with a suspicious expression. Upon hearing this, Zhang Nuo shook his head lightly!

"You don't know where he is, so what direction are you heading in?"

Scratching his head with his hand, Xue Meng stood up! He glanced toward the direction the small boat was traveling! Before, Zhang Nuo had only wanted to leave that merchant ship quickly and hadn't chosen a destination at all; he had just rushed off in one direction! Now that Xue Meng had said this, he slowly stopped the small boat!

"Now you row the boat! Take me to see your boss!"

Zhang Nuo sat steadily cross-legged at the stern, eyes slightly closed, and said nothing more. With no other choice, the few pirates had to brace themselves and steer the small boat toward a certain direction in the Mist Sea!

Xue Meng and his gang had always picked small merchant ships to rob and never dared to touch those major powers, but they hadn't expected to run into a tough nut today! Don't look at how young the guy in front of them was; he was a genuine Nascent Soul Stage cultivator!

The other pirates gathered around Xue Meng, seemingly discussing something through Sound Transmission! Zhang Nuo ignored them, just sitting at the stern with his eyes closed. With his current cultivation, even if these few pirates had ill intentions, they absolutely could do nothing to him!

The small boat was fast, riding the wind and waves on the sea. A few days later, a small island finally appeared ahead! This island was only about thirty miles in size! In the center of the island, there was a small, low mountain!

After the small boat docked, the dozen pirates scrambled onto the shore like a puff of smoke. Xue Meng puffed out his chest and said:

"Come on! My boss is cultivating on the mountain ahead!"

Zhang Nuo slowly stood up, walked onto the shore, raised his eyes to look at the mountain not far away, and then rolled two streams of light from his sleeves, wrapping the pirates inside. With his escape light rising, he rushed toward the small mountain! With his speed, he arrived in the blink of an eye over such a short distance!

After putting down the pirates, Zhang Nuo silently circulated his Mysterious Technique and raised his voice:

"Which one is Fellow Daoist Zhang Nuo! Come out and meet me!"

His voice was deep and powerful, spreading across almost the entire island! However, to Zhang Nuo's surprise, no one answered him for a long time!

"Is your boss really on this island? Why is no one answering me?"

He swept a glance at Xue Meng, only to see that Xue Meng was equally puzzled!

Just at this moment, a streak of escape light flew out from the top of the small mountain, and after a few flashes, it arrived right in front of Zhang Nuo! At the same time the escape light appeared, Zhang Nuo's Divine Sense swept over it, and he saw that the person was only at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage! It seemed this was the guy using his name to swindle people!

After the escape light landed and faded, it revealed a masked cultivator! This person was tall and slender, wearing a long white robe, with his hands tucked into his sleeves! From the two eyes of the mask, two cold, ghostly rays of light shot out!

"Xue Meng! How did you bring a stranger to my place!"

The white-robed person's voice was somewhat hoarse, but Zhang Nuo could tell that the other party was deliberately disguising it!

"Boss! We didn't mean to! This Senior insisted on seeing you!"

Xue Meng and the others were trembling all over, standing in front of the white-robed person without daring to even breathe loudly! It seemed this mysterious white-robed person held a high status in their hearts!

"Don't blame them! It is I who insisted on seeing you!"

Zhang Nuo smiled faintly, his gaze lingering on the white-robed person!

"What business do you have with me?"

The white-robed person said unpleasantly.

"I heard that you are the famous Zhang Nuo! So I wanted to exchange a few moves with you!"

"I have never liked to fight with others! This Fellow Daoist, please feel free to leave!"

The white-robed person seemed to have lost patience! With a flick of his sleeve, he wanted to shoo Zhang Nuo down the mountain!

"Since you are Zhang Nuo, why don't you dare show your true face! I would like to see what you look like!"

As Zhang Nuo spoke, his figure lunged forward, his five fingers suddenly reaching out to grab the mask on the white-robed person's face! The white-robed person did not show weakness, leaping high into the air and turning into a streak of escape light to rush toward the mountaintop!

"Want to leave! Not that easy!"

Zhang Nuo let out a soft whistle, his figure flashing; his speed was actually faster than the white-robed person's, and he blocked the path directly! Raising both hands, two points of cold light shot out, aiming straight for the white-robed person's face!

Being overtaken, the white-robed person was secretly shocked! It seemed the guy who came this time was no ordinary character! Turning in mid-air, he changed direction to escape!

After two exchanges, the white-robed person still refused to fight back, which made Zhang Nuo feel puzzled! This person's supernatural powers were not weak, so why only dodge? The more the other party acted like this, the more he wanted to see the person's true face!

Raising his hands slightly, dozens of Flying Swords circled out, instantly sealing off the surrounding space! The white-robed person's figure stalled, and seeing there was no escape, he turned his face and said to Zhang Nuo in a rage:

"Who exactly are you? Must you force me to fight?"

"Yes! I am forcing you to fight! Come on!"

Ignoring the white-robed person's rage, Zhang Nuo toyed with a Flying Sword in his hand, his gaze suddenly turning cold! It was impossible to tell what expression was on the face under the mask, but the white-robed person flipped one hand and summoned a one-inch-long Flying Sword. After casting several hand seals, the Flying Sword instantly grew to two zhang in length and slashed fiercely down at Zhang Nuo!

From this Flying Sword, it was not hard for Zhang Nuo to see that although this person's cultivation had reached the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, his strength was not very impressive! With a quick thought, he summoned the Flying Sword in his hand to block the giant sword, and then his escape light rose, rushing toward the white-robed person at an incredible speed!

Swish! Swish! After a few flashes, several images of Zhang Nuo appeared all around the white-robed person! Just as the white-robed person wanted to use Divine Sense to distinguish which of these images was the real body, Zhang Nuo suddenly raised his hand, and a streak of Sword Qi shot out from his fingertip, striking exactly onto the white-robed person's mask!

Swish! The Sword Qi slashed across the mask, splitting it in two without a sound! The moment the mask was destroyed, Zhang Nuo's gaze focused on that face!

It was a face as white as jade, appearing to be seventeen or eighteen years old, as beautiful as fine jade! With delicate features and smooth skin! Her brows and eyes were like a painting, truly as fresh and lovely as a lotus rising from the water, yet she also gave one the feeling of a modest, gentle girl!

"So the boss is a woman!"

Xue Meng and the others below were stunned by what they saw! Zhang Nuo also slowly drew in a breath!

"This is the first time I've known! So Zhang Nuo is a woman!"

The white-clothed woman merely glanced coldly at Zhang Nuo, her figure descending toward the ground, and with a single-handed beckoning, she drew the Flying Sword she had previously unleashed back into her body!

"I presume this fellow Daoist is Zhang Nuo, right!"

With the mask destroyed, there was no use for the young woman to disguise her voice anymore! She immediately spoke in her original voice! The lingering sound was not loud, but it was extremely pleasant to hear! She also saw that Zhang Nuo had no intention of taking her life! That was why she did not fight to the death!

Likewise, Zhang Nuo also landed back on the ground, and after withdrawing his divine ability, he smiled indifferently!

"Correct! It is indeed Zhang! I wonder why you, from Xian Mountain, impersonated my reputation?"

Hearing this, the young woman merely smiled helplessly! Immediately, a few traces of bitterness appeared!
