Chapter 478: Capturing Duanmu Xiaofeng Alive

"I know!"

Zhang Nuo's three cold words made Duanmu Xiaofeng gasp; it seemed this fellow had come with a purpose! Even bringing up the name of the Duanmu Family hadn't scared him off!

"Who exactly are you?"

"Zhang Nuo!"

If Duanmu Xiaofeng had been surprised before, he was now terrified! Zhang Nuo! That was a resounding name on the Xianhuan Continent! His thoughts raced; he didn't recall offending the Giant Spirit Pavilion in any way, so how had he provoked Zhang Nuo?

"So it is Pavilion Master Zhang! My apologies for the discourtesy!"

Although he was filled with a thousand questions, Duanmu Xiaofeng dared not be too presumptuous!

"No need for such formalities! I have come this time to borrow something from you, Fellow Daoist Duanmu!"

A warm smile hung on Zhang Nuo's face, revealing not a hint of murderous intent! Duanmu Xiaofeng blinked a few times, wondering to himself, what could this Pavilion Master of the Giant Spirit Pavilion want to borrow from him?

"Please speak, Pavilion Master Zhang! As long as it is something I possess, I will certainly lend it!"

"Good! Then I shall say it! I need to make use of your body!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Duanmu Xiaofeng's expression changed instantly! Borrow his body? What kind of joke was this! But facing Zhang Nuo's reputation, he forced out a dry laugh:

"This... Pavilion Master Zhang must be joking!"

"No! I am speaking the truth!"

Zhang Nuo remained calm and composed. Duanmu Xiaofeng, having suppressed his anger again and again, could finally hold it back no longer!

"Zhang Nuo! What exactly do you mean! Don't think that just because you've made a name for yourself on the Xianhuan Continent, you can do whatever you want! My Duanmu Family is not to be trifled with!"

Seeing the other party flare up in anger, Zhang Nuo still smiled and said:

"Since Fellow Daoist Duanmu refuses to lend it, I shall have to take it myself!"

As he spoke, Zhang Nuo suddenly flipped one hand, and with cyan light flashing in his palm, a small axe was summoned—it was the 'Heaven Opening Axe!' He reached out to grab the handle, poured his Spirit Power into it wildly, and the axe body erupted with brilliant cyan light! With a casual swing, a cyan axe shadow a zhang long slashed toward Duanmu Xiaofeng!

At this moment, Duanmu Xiaofeng could be said to be depressed to the extreme! He had no idea how he had offended Zhang Nuo! He had only taken a stroll through the Yulong Workshop, and upon coming out, he had run into such a thing!

However, the current situation did not allow him to overthink! Once Zhang Nuo made his move, his power was revealed! He was truly worthy of being a Great Cultivator who had advanced over a hundred years ago! With a slight flash of his figure, Duanmu Xiaofeng dodged the blow, and at the same time, his hands flipped, producing a short sword and a refined steel shield!

Because he wanted Duanmu Xiaofeng's Natural Demon Body, Zhang Nuo dared not use too great a divine ability, fearing he might damage the demon body. But the fellow opposite him was no pushover; his Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivation was definitely not to be underestimated! This put Zhang Nuo in a bit of a dilemma!

In the split second he hesitated while holding the 'Heaven Opening Axe', Duanmu Xiaofeng struck the refined steel shield with the short sword in his hand! Immediately, a long, humming sound rang out, and a layer of ink-black Demonic Qi rose on the surface of the shield! After condensing a few times, this Demonic Qi gathered into a light orb the size of a fist!

With a 'whoosh', the light orb shot toward Zhang Nuo! Gritting his teeth slightly, Zhang Nuo had no choice but to face it head-on! His figure swayed, and gray light rays surged from his body, instantly transforming into the 'Immovable Underworld King' phantom! The fifth level of the 'Immovable Underworld King' technique could be said to be powerful to the extreme!

At this time, the Underworld King phantom already showed signs of becoming tangible! With a long roar, the Underworld King phantom stretched out a large hand and reached directly toward that mass of Demonic Qi!

The moment the palm made contact with the Demonic Qi, a thunderous explosion occurred, and the light orb burst within the palm of the Underworld King phantom! However, what Duanmu Xiaofeng did not expect was that the phantom's palm remained completely unscathed! At the same time, Zhang Nuo's shoulders shrugged, and black Butterfly Wings a zhang long sprouted from his back!

With a light flap, he arrived in front of Duanmu Xiaofeng like a breeze, and the Underworld King phantom above his head raised its massive fist and struck him fiercely!

Having witnessed the power of that phantom, Duanmu Xiaofeng dared not take the blow head-on for anything. He cast the refined steel shield in his hand upward, and the shield flashed with black light, growing to over a zhang in size! He then hid beneath the giant shield, activated his escape light, and fled toward the distant sky!

Boom!

A loud noise came from mid-air, and immediately after, Duanmu Xiaofeng's refined steel shield shattered like rubble! Sensing this terrifying blow with his Divine Sense, Duanmu Xiaofeng dared not linger even more! Without looking back, he cast the short sword in his hand, and his escape speed increased by a few notches!

Having shattered the shield with one punch, a cold light suddenly flashed in Zhang Nuo's eyes, as he saw a short sword about a foot long piercing toward his heart at extreme speed!

He let out a cold snort! The Underworld King phantom threw a punch through the air! The biting fist wind caused the surrounding space to ripple! The short sword, which had not yet reached Zhang Nuo, was knocked off course amidst the layers of spatial ripples!

By now, Duanmu Xiaofeng had already fled quite far! However, Zhang Nuo was not worried in the slightest! In terms of speed, he feared that on this Xianhuan Continent, apart from Baijiaowang, no one could compare to him!

His palm flipped quickly, and a mass of silver flame appeared; with a wave, it formed a pair of silver fire wings two zhang long! He took a step forward, and the fire wings embedded themselves under Zhang Nuo's ribs!

With all four wings moving, Zhang Nuo vanished from the spot with a 'swish'! Duanmu Xiaofeng, who was flying for his life ahead, was already scared out of his wits! The opponent had only used three moves and had already destroyed two of his Magic Treasures! Was this even human? At this moment, Zhang Nuo seemed even more monstrous than the legends suggested!

Suddenly, Duanmu Xiaofeng unexpectedly discovered that behind him, Zhang Nuo had vanished into thin air! Just as he was feeling suspicious, a soft 'swish' sounded only ten zhang in front of him, and Zhang Nuo's figure appeared! Startled, Duanmu Xiaofeng almost bit his own tongue! He cursed to himself that things were bad! He opened his mouth wide, and several rays of light flashed simultaneously!

They shot toward Zhang Nuo like raindrops! To protect himself, forced by necessity, Duanmu Xiaofeng cast several Magic Treasures at once! The various colored lights merged into a seven-colored rainbow, rushing toward Zhang Nuo!

Don't look at how Zhang Nuo had just dared to use the Underworld King phantom to shatter two of Duanmu Xiaofeng's Magic Treasures in succession; with several Magic Treasures launching an offensive together, this kind of attack was definitely not to be underestimated! His thoughts turned slightly, and Zhang Nuo thought of a new divine ability within the fifth level of the Underworld King phantom! 'Falling Profound Light!'

No sooner said than done! He had no time to think; as his Divine Sense moved, the Underworld King phantom raised its hands high above its head. Simultaneously, above the two giant palms, the void cracked open, and a mass of dark, gloomy Qi rapidly condensed into a vortex!

This vortex was only three feet in size; from afar, it looked like a miniature sun, only the sun was golden, while this vortex was black. From the center of the pitch-black vortex, ten thousand black rays shot out violently! These black rays were like sunlight, enveloping most of the space around Zhang Nuo's body!

When Duanmu Xiaofeng's several Magic Treasures approached these black rays, a bizarre scene occurred! These originally dazzling Magic Treasures instantly lost all their Spirit Power and dropped to the ground like pieces of scrap iron!

Duanmu Xiaofeng felt a chill run down his back! What kind of technique was this! He hadn't even heard of it, let alone seen it! He turned around and wanted to flee in another direction!

That 'Falling Profound Light' could have such an effect was also a great surprise to Zhang Nuo! After all, this was the first time he had used this divine ability since cultivating it! Those black rays shot out from the black vortex were a mysterious power within the body of the Underworld King phantom! This power could instantly strip the Spirit Power from a Magic Treasure, turning it into an ordinary object!

However, this also had to do with the quality of the Magic Treasure! If it were a Heavenly Sky Grade Magic Treasure, even if Zhang Nuo's 'Falling Profound Light' were a few times stronger, it would be impossible to instantly eliminate the Spirit Power within it!

With this realization, Zhang Nuo's gaze fell back onto Duanmu Xiaofeng! By now, he likely had no more Magic Treasures on him! Thinking of this, he moved his four wings, and his body vanished from the spot!

The next moment, Zhang Nuo appeared directly above Duanmu Xiaofeng's head. With a slight opening of his mouth, a pale blue Small Tripod flew out. After spinning around, the Small Tripod transformed to several zhang in size, and a sheet of purple electric arcs surged from it, forming a giant electric net nearly a hundred zhang wide!

It covered Duanmu Xiaofeng from above! Feeling the abnormal Spirit Power fluctuations above his head, Duanmu Xiaofeng looked up, and his heart instantly turned cold! With such a large electric net, even if he used every ounce of his strength, he would surely never be able to escape!

After a scream of "Ah!", the giant purple electric arc net wrapped Duanmu Xiaofeng tightly within it, and then the four corners retracted, returning to the Small Tripod!

Having finished this, Zhang Nuo's body gave a slight jolt, and the Magic Treasures he had previously cast all returned to his body! Without stopping, he turned his figure and flew toward the direction of Yulong Immortal Mountain!

In this battle, Zhang Nuo had used almost no effort and had captured Duanmu Xiaofeng quite easily! After returning to the Immortal Mountain, he saw Liu Qingshan waiting anxiously in the main hall! As soon as he saw Zhang Nuo walk in, he immediately asked urgently:

"Pavilion Master! How did it go? Did you capture him?"

At this moment, what Liu Qingshan feared most was that Zhang Nuo had failed! If that were really the case, they would have failed to catch the fox and instead ended up covered in filth! After all, the Duanmu Family was not a simple sect!

"En!"

Without saying much more, Zhang Nuo just nodded slightly! The heart that Liu Qingshan had been holding in suspense finally settled!

"Are all the other things prepared?"

Zhang Nuo sat on a chair and asked with a serious expression.

"The things in the second Jade Slip have long been ready! We were only missing this cultivator with a Natural Demon Body!"

"Good! Immediately prepare a hidden Cave Abode for me! I am going to do something big!"

His voice trembled slightly! Zhang Nuo truly had not expected that he would also commit such an act of harming an innocent life!
