Chapter 519: Escape

Having made up his mind, Zhang Nuo stood up from the ground abruptly. At the same time, his whole body shuddered, and a pale green radiance scattered out from within his body!

At the same time, those low-rank demon cultivators in the Demon Refining Room suddenly discovered that Zhang Nuo seemed like a different person; the listless expression from before vanished in an instant! Just as one demon cultivator wanted to step forward to ask a question, they saw Zhang Nuo's figure flicker and arrive at the gate of the Demon Refining Room!

He reached out and cast two incantations, sealing the iron gate completely! The green light in his eyes vanished, revealing fierce killing intent as he scanned the dozens of demon cultivators in the underground hall!

"What are you doing?"

At this moment, a demon cultivator of about the Sixth-Rank, having opened its linguistic intelligence, roared angrily at Zhang Nuo.

Zhang Nuo ignored it. He took a step forward, arriving directly in front of that demon cultivator. Raising his five fingers, several streaks of Sword Qi shot out, directly hacking the demon cultivator who had spoken into a pulp of flesh!

The other demon cultivators saw this and let out angry roars one after another, but none dared to rush forward again. In the entire Demon Refining Room, the highest cultivation level was only Sixth-Rank. Compared to Zhang Nuo, their cultivation was a huge gap behind; even if they rushed up, their end would be the same as that of the previous demon cultivator!

Seeing that he had intimidated them, Zhang Nuo gave a cold smile. With a flick of his robe sleeve, a five-colored radiance swept out, taking in the nearest Demon Refining Pool beside him!

On the other side, Xuan Jin also emerged from the surrounding ground. Golden Light flashed between its ten fingers, instantly killing several demon cultivators who were hiding in the back and making small movements in secret!

"Let's go!"

After Zhang Nuo said this to Xuan Jin, Sword Qi flashed between his ten fingers, exterminating all the demon cultivators in the Demon Refining Room! At the same time, a red light flashed out from his robe sleeve; it was the Qiongqi beast!

"Hurry up and drink the green liquid in the pool!"

Qiongqi now possessed Eighth Rank strength, one rank higher than Xuan Jin. It had long been coveting those green liquids, but Zhang Nuo had not dared to steal too much. Now that this place was finally Zhang Nuo's territory, Qiongqi was not polite at all! With a flash of red light, it jumped to the side of a Demon Refining Pool. As suction arose in its mouth, the green liquid in the pool was sucked into its belly!

In the blink of an eye, the green liquid in the eight Demon Refining Pools had been drained by Qiongqi! However, Zhang Nuo discovered a problem! Qiongqi's body was like it was drunk; its movements began to slow down, and green fluorescence gradually radiated from its body!

"Qiongqi, stop drinking!"

He spoke to stop it, but this fellow acted as if it hadn't heard a thing, still wandering among the few Demon Refining Pools! No matter how Zhang Nuo called out, the Qiongqi beast ignored him!

Forced into a corner, Zhang Nuo had no choice but to use force. His figure drifted to Qiongqi's side, and he pressed a hand onto its head. Subsequently, Qiongqi turned into a red light and dove into his robe sleeve! At this time, Xuan Jin also turned into a Golden Light and returned to the Spirit Beast Bag.

Zhang Nuo took one last look at the Demon Refining Room, and seeing there was nothing left worth taking, he rushed out of the large iron gate! Just as he emerged, he saw dozens of demon cultivators standing in a row in the passageway. When they saw it was Zhang Nuo, they all revealed extremely astonished expressions! Wasn't this human boy under a Restriction placed by the Palace Master? How had his cultivation and Spirit Power all recovered in an instant?

In the brief moment those demon cultivators were stunned, Zhang Nuo had already struck. Dozens of cold lights surged from his body. Everywhere they passed, the miserable screams of countless demon cultivators rang out. The next moment, Zhang Nuo's figure flickered, and he rushed toward the exit!

Along this path, Zhang Nuo unleashed all his divine abilities without any reservation, killing with every strike!

Because Ai Yuchen had previously taken away some of the high-rank demon cultivators from Huan Shou Gong, Zhang Nuo moved as if through empty space. After several charges, he finally reached the exit of Huan Shou Gong!

His heart was suddenly filled with joy! After several years, he finally saw the sunlight again. The scorching sun outside now seemed so dear!

With a slight shake of his shoulders, black Butterfly Wings grew out. With a forceful flap, Zhang Nuo flew out of Huan Shou Gong like lightning! His figure had just appeared outside the desert when suddenly a roar came over like a thunderclap!

"Human boy, stay behind!"

This voice carried a sense of anger and unwillingness! Zhang Nuo raised his eyebrows slightly and looked toward the high sky not far away. He saw a semi-transformed demon cultivator floating in mid-air, with waves of not-so-weak Spirit Power radiating from its body!

Integration Early Stage! It seemed this was the Integration Stage demon cultivator that Xuan Jin had mentioned was left behind to guard the place! Zhang Nuo did not want to be entangled by it!

With a sudden flip of one hand, after a long phoenix cry, the Red Glow Fire Spirit appeared. With a swing, a pair of fire wings about two zhang long appeared in front of Zhang Nuo. He took a step forward, tucked the fire wings under his ribs, and with all four wings moving, he intended to escape!

The Integration Stage demon cultivator in mid-air saw that Zhang Nuo ignored it entirely and only wanted to escape, and a fierce look flashed in its eyes! Raising both hands at once, three Magic Treasures radiating green light all slashed toward Zhang Nuo!

Zhang Nuo almost didn't even look back. His Divine Sense sensed the incoming Magic Treasures, and he accelerated, rushing forward several hundred zhang in an instant. The Integration Stage demon cultivator's three Magic Treasures all struck into the desert!

With a loud, rumbling boom, countless grains of sand were blasted into the sky. Zhang Nuo took advantage of the opponent's missed strike to rush forward another hundred zhang!

Facing an Integration Stage demon cultivator, Zhang Nuo dared not take the opponent's attack head-on, especially since he was still within the sphere of influence of Huan Shou Gong. As long as the delay was long enough, thousands of demon cultivators would immediately swarm over!

The demon cultivator in the sky saw Zhang Nuo rush so far away in two flickers, and its heart could not help but feel a bit shocked! However, after Ai Yuchen left, it had been repeatedly warned never to let anything major happen to Huan Shou Gong! Especially the Demon Refining Room; the small demons refined there were the main force of this Demon Beast Tide!

But now, this crucial human cultivator from the Demon Refining Room was about to escape. If Ai Yuchen found out, it would certainly receive a severe punishment! Thinking of Ai Yuchen's usual methods, the demon cultivator shuddered all over!

At this moment, Zhang Nuo was already in the high sky hundreds of zhang away, on the verge of flying out of the sphere of influence of Huan Shou Gong. The Integration Stage demon cultivator let out a long howl! It stacked its hand seals! At the same time, a massive amount of spiritual light erupted from its body, followed by a low shout!

Above Zhang Nuo's head as he fled, the void shattered, and a white light hand, fully several dozen zhang in size, reached out from the void and pressed down toward Zhang Nuo without a moment's pause! Suddenly feeling the chaotic Spirit Power fluctuations above his head, Zhang Nuo looked up and saw a giant palm striking toward him! This was a desperate strike from an Integration Stage demon cultivator; its power was so great that every hair on his body stood on end!

A chill ran down his spine. He accelerated his four wings to the limit, wanting to rush out of the coverage of the giant hand above his head in an instant, but as the giant hand appeared, a huge pressure almost locked the surrounding space, and even at full-speed flight, he had not escaped very far!

Seeing the white giant hand about to grab onto Zhang Nuo, he gritted his teeth slightly. A cluster of purple electric arcs immediately erupted from his body, and he formed a strange hand seal! After a rumbling thunderclap, Zhang Nuo's entire body turned into a slender thread of lightning in mid-air, and with a 'swish', he disappeared!

"Boom!"

The giant light hand released by the Integration Stage demon cultivator pressed down onto the desert! The earth trembled a few times, and the yellow sand in the sky formed a sandstorm around the light hand!

At the same time the light hand missed, a purple thread of lightning jumped in the void in the distance, and then Zhang Nuo's figure appeared. Just as he appeared, Zhang Nuo looked back at the demon cultivator above Huan Shou Gong, and with all four wings flapping, he disappeared at the edge of the horizon in the blink of an eye!

In that most dangerous moment just now, Zhang Nuo had used the Thunder Escape Technique he had learned from the 'Forbidden Five Thunders Canon'! With one flash, he had fled a distance of nearly a thousand zhang!

The Integration Stage demon cultivator saw that Zhang Nuo had escaped and was so angry that its face turned livid. Its pair of not-yet-fully-evolved palms kept pounding its own chest!

A human Spirit Transformation Initial Stage cultivator had actually managed to escape from its hands; this was simply a supreme humiliation! It seemed that after Ai Yuchen learned of this matter, it would not be able to escape disaster!

However, the demon cultivator suddenly frowned, because it discovered that the escape method Zhang Nuo had just used was very familiar; it seemed to be a type of Thunder Escape Technique of the demon cultivators! How could a human boy know the techniques of demon cultivators? It was confused! It could never figure it out, but since the person had already escaped, it dared not pursue further. Its main purpose now was to guard these Dharma Arrays connected to the Demon Realm here!

As for other matters, compared to the Dharma Arrays, they were not worth mentioning!

Zhang Nuo flew tens of thousands of miles in one breath. Seeing that no demon cultivators were chasing from behind, he finally set his heart at ease! He let out a long sigh; it was truly living two lifetimes! To be able to survive and get out of Huan Shou Gong was simply a miracle!

He opened his Divine Sense wide, covering the ground around him. He did not discover anything unusual, so he slowly flew away in a certain direction.

When he was in the Demon Refining Room, Xuan Jin had once stolen a Jade Slip for him that contained a topographical map of the 'Nine Lives Desert'. If it weren't for the sandstorms, he would almost never get lost!

With this Jade Slip in hand, Zhang Nuo felt more confident! Although walking out of this desert was no longer a problem, the most fatal problem had appeared again!

Now the Palace Master of Huan Shou Gong had taken many demon cultivators to attack the Immortal Domain. If he returned to Gongyue City at this time, he might encounter them immediately!

Zhang Nuo did not want to be cannon fodder, so he made a decision in his heart. This time, he could not return to Gongyue no matter what. After thinking carefully, he flew away in another direction.
