Chapter 492: It Is Over

Ma Huaidong knew very well in his heart that if he were a Spirit Severing Stage cultivator right now, no matter what Zhang Nuo said, he would absolutely never let him go! But this was just imagination; after all, he was not!

The flame of hope suddenly vanished from his desperate gaze! Ma Huaidong lowered his head in secret, and he muttered in his mouth:

"I want... I want..."

The cultivators in the great hall all thought he was about to choose some kind of death! But no one expected that Ma Huaidong would suddenly let out a long howl!

"I want your life!"

Just as he howled, his body, which had been kneeling on the ground, lunged forward violently and charged toward Zhang Nuo. At the same time, nine long swords shot out from his back, each one about a zhang long, as if they had grown out of his spine, and they stabbed toward Zhang Nuo's body!

At such a close distance, and with Ma Huaidong being a Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator, no matter what, this sneak attack would surely cause some damage to Zhang Nuo!

With his bitter pleas having no effect, Ma Huaidong finally chose the method of perishing together with Zhang Nuo! Zhang Nuo still stood there like that, his body not even moving an inch! Just as the seven long swords on Ma Huaidong's back were about to pierce his body!

A layer of gray light radiance emerged from the surface of his body, and these light radiances swirled once before directly blocking in front of Zhang Nuo!

Clang! The seven long swords seemed to have stabbed into an iron plate, emitting the sound of gold and iron clashing. Zhang Nuo just looked at Ma Huaidong like that, a cold sneer constantly on his face!

Han Liang gasped! Looking at the eerie gray light radiance on Zhang Nuo's body, it seemed to be some kind of profound Body Refining technique, as even Ma Huaidong's long swords could not pierce through!

"If you have any other moves, use them all!"

Just like a master reprimanding an apprentice, Zhang Nuo said indifferently! Ma Huaidong was truly dumbfounded this time! These seven swords on his back were his most prized Magic Treasure, and many famous cultivators had fallen to this move, yet Zhang Nuo had defended against it so easily!

Is the gap between the Spirit Severing Stage and the Nascent Soul Stage really this large? Everyone in the great hall thought so! They had never seen what kind of power a true Spirit Severing Stage cultivator possessed, but they guessed that even if they were stronger than Nascent Soul Stage cultivators, it definitely wouldn't be to this extent!

The seven long swords, held back by the gray light radiance, suddenly burst with a blinding light at their tips, followed by a loud boom, and a majestic force erupted! Zhang Nuo was instantly enveloped in a ball of white light, while Ma Huaidong stood up from the ground, laughing wildly!

"Zhang Nuo! Even if you have entered the Spirit Severing Stage, what is the use! Even if you were a Great Luo Golden Immortal, you wouldn't be able to escape my 'Seven Swords Soul Breaking Strike'!"

From a lowly, pathetic worm, he suddenly turned back into the arrogant Sect Master of the Yanyue Sect! This huge contrast made everyone in the great hall gasp repeatedly!

Could Zhang Nuo really be killed by him? Looking at the light orb, which was a zhang in size, in the center of the hall, still enveloping Zhang Nuo, everyone's hearts were in their throats!

From the scene just now, it was not hard to see that Ma Huaidong was an out-and-out villain! Everyone had a scale in their hearts! And at this moment, the side of the scale in everyone's hearts was tilting toward Zhang Nuo! From the bottom of their hearts, they did not want this villainous Ma Huaidong to succeed!

Just when Ma Huaidong thought victory was in sight and that he could kill Zhang Nuo with the exquisite sword move of the 'Seven Swords Soul Breaking Strike', a light sigh came from inside the light orb!

"Is that all the tricks you have?"

Following the voice, a large gray hand reached out from the light orb, followed immediately by a silent, cold snort!

'Boom!'

The light orb shattered after a loud noise. Zhang Nuo was seen completely enveloped by a layer of gray light radiance, his body not even suffering the slightest injury to his skin or flesh!

Ma Huaidong was completely desperate; this time he had no other moves! He sat down on the ground with a thud! The previous arrogance was gone without a trace! As if he had lost his mind, he kept muttering in his mouth:

"I was too naive! I was too naive!"

"You are indeed very naive! Did you really think that your full-strength strike could do anything to me?"

Seeing this, Zhang Nuo knew he had exhausted all his tricks! Without any intention of showing mercy, he moved his Divine Sense, and the gray light radiance on his body transformed into a half-zhang-sized fist! He struck Ma Huaidong's body with it!

'Boom!'

This time Ma Huaidong did not put up any resistance and let the fist hit his body! When the gray fist struck him and smashed his body into the ground, the entire great hall shook! A deep pit with a diameter of a zhang appeared in the center of the hall!

And Ma Huaidong's corpse did not even have a bone fragment left! It was directly reduced to powder! The faces of everyone present changed several times, but no one dared to make a sound!

After finishing all this, Zhang Nuo walked to Zhuge Qing's side, looked at her injuries, and seeing they were not serious, he then walked to the side of Han Liang and Gu Yu.

"The two of you! Long time no see!"

"I really didn't expect that you would have grown to this extent!"

Han Liang shook his head with a bitter smile. Everything that happened today was enough to prove that Zhang Nuo's strength was not something they could compare to now! I am afraid that even if everyone present attacked at the same time, they would not be his match!

"Just a stroke of luck!"

After saying this simply, Zhang Nuo swept a glance at the others in the great hall! Everyone touched by his gaze felt a chill in their hearts!

"Rest assured! I, Zhang Nuo, am not a person who kills the innocent! You may disperse on your own!"

His words were like a golden pardon! The people in the great hall vanished without a trace in a flash!

Looking at the empty great hall, Gu Yu sneered! These people, just a moment ago, were desperately supporting Ma Huaidong, yet the next moment, they ran faster than anyone!

"Brother Gu! Your cultivation has also grown quite fast over these years, hasn't it?"

Zhang Nuo was not mocking Gu Yu with this sentence. The cultivation method based on Corpse Refining was very slow for personal cultivation improvement. That Gu Yu could keep pace with Han Liang was enough to show that he had also put in hard work!

"Stop teasing me!"

Under the black robe, Gu Yu's expression could not be seen, but from his words, it was not hard to hear a hint of bitterness!

Just at this moment, at the entrance of the great hall, a streak of light flashed in. Zhuge An ran in with a tearful face, and upon seeing his injured daughter, he ran to her side in a few steps!

After Xuan Jin handed Zhuge Qing over to Zhuge An, his figure flickered and turned into a Golden Light, diving into Zhang Nuo's sleeve! A low sobbing sound from Zhuge An suddenly came from the great hall!

Han Liang and the others did not look down on Zhuge An; there was a reason for things, as everyone was trying to save their lives at the time! They had no choice but to submit to Ma Huaidong's sect!

Originally a wedding, it had become Ma Huaidong's doomsday because of Zhang Nuo's appearance!

A few days later, everyone appeared within the Nanxuan Sect! At this time, the Wuji Sect and the Corpse Refining Sect no longer existed, so Han Liang and Gu Yu were also in the Nanxuan Sect!

Zhuge Qing's injuries were more than half healed! She could walk on the ground freely! However, she still did not dare to see Zhang Nuo! Zhuge An had been extremely busy these past few days; once Ma Huaidong died, all the cultivators on the Tianjiang Plain knew that Zhang Nuo had returned, and his cultivation had even advanced to the Spirit Severing Stage!

Such earth-shattering news made the Nanxuan Sect the focal point for all cultivators once again! Some forces were even constantly fawning over them!

Zhang Nuo did not want to manage matters here anymore, so he did not step forward, leaving everything to Zhuge An to handle! During this period, he had been chatting with Han Liang and Gu Yu!

These two had finally caught a Spirit Severing Stage cultivator and kept asking about cultivation matters! Finally, seeing that their sects were destroyed, Zhang Nuo recommended they go to the Immortal Illusion Continent and gave them a Jade Slip to deliver to Yang Huzi on the Yulong Immortal Mountain.

As soon as he saw the contents of this Jade Slip, Yang Huzi would definitely take them in! Han Liang gratefully thanked Zhang Nuo! Anyway, the Wuji Sect no longer existed, and there was no point in him staying on the Tianjiang Plain, so it would be better to go to the Immortal Illusion Continent to explore! Even the always cold Gu Yu had his gaze soften!

Back then, what Leng Xinghun could not achieve, he had accomplished so easily! As long as they had this Jade Slip from Zhang Nuo, he believed that once they reached the Yulong Immortal Mountain, they would definitely obtain a good cultivation environment!

In the dead of night, Han Liang and Gu Yu both went to meditate and practice, slowly digesting everything Zhang Nuo had told them. Bored, Zhang Nuo walked out of his room; he was still living in his small courtyard!

He looked up at the night sky! Among the stars filling the sky, there was actually an extra crescent moon, and sitting above the crescent moon was a slender woman! It was none other than Zhuge Qing!

This scene seemed to have appeared once hundreds of years ago; at that time, Zhang Nuo had just arrived at the Nanxuan Sect and was still a little guy at the Foundation Establishment Stage!

Slowly enveloped by a layer of faint light, Zhang Nuo flew toward the high sky! It was only when he arrived near Zhuge Qing that she noticed him! Her figure turned, and she was just about to flee, but she was called out by him!

"Escaping is not the solution! Why don't we sit down and have a good talk!"

The voice was as tender as water, without a hint of reproach. Zhuge Qing was stunned for a moment, then she sat back down on the Moonlight Wheel, quietly looking at this familiar face of Zhang Nuo!

How many years had it been? Sometimes she would still call out Zhang Nuo's name in her dreams! If the Immortal Illusion Continent had not appeared, if Nanxuan Laozu had not taken Zhang Nuo away! Perhaps none of this would have happened! Perhaps she would have already become Zhang Nuo's wife! But while there is medicine for sale for everything in this world, there is no medicine for regret!

Everything had become the past! As the gentle night breeze blew slowly by, it seemed as if nothing was that important anymore! It was time for her and Zhang Nuo to end things as well!
