Chapter 525: Four Meridians Fully Opened

Zhang Nuo's movement speed was almost neck-and-neck with Deng Tianlin, and the two of them charged toward their respective opponents! A golden, icy glint flashed in Jin E's eyes; he grabbed at the void with his palm, and immediately, a bone sword half a foot long appeared in his hand! With a single-handed, momentum-driven slash, a pile of snow-white bone spikes as fine as ox hair emerged on the surface of the bone sword!

A series of sharp, air-piercing sounds rang out, and those bone spikes shot toward the charging Deng Tianlin and the others like dense, torrential rain! Deng Tianlin dared not let his subordinates withstand the attack of an Integration Stage cultivator, so he suddenly let out a cold snort, spiritual light erupted from his body, and countless flying swords manifested from spiritual light surged out from his body!

It was as if a rain of swords had fallen, colliding instantly with those bone spikes! The crackling sounds in the sky were like popping beans! After blocking this strike, the seven teams of cultivators behind Deng Tianlin transformed into countless streaks of light, charging toward the interior of the demonic beast army below!

One could see the brilliance of Magic Treasures flashing across the sky, and various Magic Treasures of different shapes were smashed toward the demonic beasts! At the same time, the demon cultivators also brought out their most prized divine abilities! In the blink of an eye, the human cultivators and the numerous demonic beasts were locked in a chaotic melee!

Deng Tianlin glanced at Zhang Nuo beside him and saw Zhang Nuo's shoulders move slightly, and two butterfly wings about a zhang long appeared behind him!

"Be careful!"

Having said these two words in a low voice, Deng Tianlin charged toward Jin E without looking back! Their strengths were roughly equal, so once they engaged, there was almost no warm-up, and each brought out their most prized divine abilities! Huge, booming sounds constantly came from between the two! Zhang Nuo only took one look, and a chill rose in his heart!

The battle of Integration Stage cultivators was truly not something he could intervene in; just the surging of the Heaven and Earth Origin Qi in the surroundings made it very difficult for him to get close! At this moment, that demonic beast shaped like a strange fish charged toward Zhang Nuo!

Zhang Nuo raised his eyebrows slightly, deliberately made a provocative gesture, and then moved his body to charge toward the high sky! He was different from Deng Tianlin; his cultivation was still far inferior to the Integration Stage. What if a high-ranked demonic beast ambushed him from below while he was fully occupied with this strange fish demon cultivator?

Therefore, for the sake of safety, Zhang Nuo still chose to go to the high sky, where it was far from the ground, and even if someone ambushed him, he would be able to discover it in time!

Once Yin He saw that Zhang Nuo wanted to run after provoking him, how could he let him go! With an angry roar, he spat out many bubbles from his mouth; these bubbles rose straight up and flew toward Zhang Nuo!

Under the illumination of the sunlight, the surfaces of the bubbles shimmered with five-colored halos! Zhang Nuo flew upward, but his Divine Sense was constantly watching behind him. Suddenly seeing those fist-sized bubbles surging toward him, he immediately knew things were going to be bad!

He quickly flipped one hand and brought out a small silver ruler! The Sacrificial Heaven Four-Piece Set—Zhang Nuo had once activated it when he was in the Human Realm; although it had suffered some damage on the surface, he had repaired it with White Profound Crystal Stone. When all four Magic Treasures appeared intact before Zhang Nuo, a situation that left him very helpless occurred!

Even if the four Magic Treasures were intact, they could not exert that kind of power; he had to wait another hundred years! It seemed that such a heaven-defying ultimate move was not entirely related to the Magic Treasures!

He brought out the Measuring Heaven Ruler, and thousands of ruler shadows smashed toward the incoming bubbles!

Boom!

A series of explosions rang out in the sky. After those bubbles shattered, a large amount of water vapor steamed out from them, and in an instant, a large area of white water vapor appeared above Anling City!

Zhang Nuo let out a soft exclamation, feeling that he had been tricked; the strange fish itself belonged to aquatic demonic beasts, and at this time, filling the sky with water vapor was extremely advantageous for the demonic beast itself!

With a wave of his hand, he summoned the Measuring Heaven Ruler back into his hand. At the same time, Yin He also rushed to the high sky, his huge fish mouth grinning, revealing a look of disdain!

"I thought you were some kind of expert! It turns out you're just a little guy at the Spirit Severing Stage, making me use so much water vapor!"

Yin He's voice was somewhat honest and simple, sounding strange! Zhang Nuo gripped the Measuring Heaven Ruler in his hand a bit tighter and scanned the strange fish in front of him with his Divine Sense! Ninth-Rank! A full-fledged Ninth-Rank Demonic Beast! Don't look at how he could kill a Ninth-Rank strength demonic beast in three moves back when he was in Gongyue City; that was because the opponent hadn't yet opened its intelligence, but this guy in front of him had opened its intelligence quite a bit, so it was impossible to give him the chance to kill it in three moves!

Seeing that Zhang Nuo didn't say a word and just stared straight at him, Yin He immediately felt very displeased! In his eyes, a Spirit Severing Stage cultivator was no different from an ant!

"Go to hell!"

After a strange cry, Yin He flipped one hand, and a trident like crystal appeared in his hand! The next moment, he flipped his wrist and cast the trident out!

With a line of water, the trident reached Zhang Nuo's proximity! Among them, the middle fork head suddenly became larger, manifesting into the form of a fish head, and opened its mouth fiercely at Zhang Nuo!

"Whoosh!"

A water arrow as thick as an arm shot toward Zhang Nuo! Zhang Nuo dodged the attack with a flash, and at the same time, he opened his mouth wide. After a light cry, a dark red firebird flew out. After flapping its wings a few times, the body of the Red Glow Fire Spirit swelled to over two zhang!

The firebird opened its mouth, and a pillar of fire sprayed out from it. The scorching pillar of fire hit the trident all at once. One could see a puff of white gas rising from the trident's body; with a *swish*, the trident's body turned and returned to Yin He's hand!

"Good lad! You actually know fire-attribute divine abilities!"

Water and fire were natural enemies, so Zhang Nuo didn't even think and directly brought out the Red Glow Fire Spirit! After this test, it was indeed effective; he only used one move to force back the opponent's Magic Treasure!

But the scene that followed caught Zhang Nuo off guard. He saw Yin He spray two streams of white gas from his nose, pat his head with one hand, and roar angrily:

"Your Grandpa Yin He is angry! What I hate most is fire!"

As soon as the words fell, Yin He's duck-webbed feet stomped heavily in mid-air, and immediately after, a pool of clear water appeared in the air. With a *whoosh*, as if extracting some power from the clear water, Yin He's entire body rushed out like lightning, swinging the trident in his hand to strike at the Red Glow Fire Spirit!

The instantly erupted speed made Zhang Nuo's vision blur for a moment, and then the trident, which had become larger at some unknown time, hit the Red Glow Fire Spirit all at once!

A mournful cry came. The moment the spirit touched the trident, a puff of white gas was produced between the two, but this time Yin He did not retract his Magic Treasure, but exerted force again! With a loud boom, the Red Glow Fire Spirit was smashed to pieces, turning into dark red flames filling the sky!

Zhang Nuo gasped; the opponent was worthy of being a Ninth-Rank demonic beast, its speed was too fast, and with the strength of his Divine Sense, he had only barely kept up!

After the strike succeeded, Yin He did not stop at all, his figure flickered again, and he rushed toward Zhang Nuo. After the trident in his hand emitted a sound of cutting through water, the three fork heads simultaneously transformed into the appearance of a fish head, and as their mouths opened wide, three water arrows were sprayed out!

Zhang Nuo was truly shocked by Yin He's momentum and subconsciously moved his body toward the high sky again! Who would have thought that this strike was Yin He's feint? Once he saw Zhang Nuo's body move, Yin He immediately changed direction, and the trident in his hand quickly grew longer! It struck toward the high sky where Zhang Nuo was fleeing!

In this way, it was equivalent to sealing off Zhang Nuo's retreat! While his body was flying upward, he suddenly felt chaotic spiritual power fluctuations above his head, and after a scan with his Divine Sense, he discovered that things were looking bad!

It was impossible to dodge this strike now! Thinking of this, Zhang Nuo hardened his heart, gray glow surged from his body, and the Underworld King phantom appeared instantly! He raised his fists and smashed them fiercely toward the falling trident!

Although the power of the Underworld King phantom was not weak, it was still far inferior compared to a Ninth-Rank demonic beast! The previous two punches only slightly hindered the falling momentum of the trident! When the power of the fist wind was exhausted, the trident slammed heavily onto the phantom!

"Bang!"

The force of this strike was more than a thousand catties! Zhang Nuo only felt as if his body had been pressed by a great mountain, and he fell rapidly toward the ground! Blood surged in his heart, and his ears were buzzing!

After the Inner Scene Art circulated rapidly several times, he finally stabilized his figure. Looking up at Yin He in mid-air, Zhang Nuo felt a bitter smile in his heart; it seemed that the gap between cultivation levels could not be made up by techniques and Magic Treasures alone! Thinking of this, he returned to mid-air again and looked coldly at Yin He!

With a movement of his Divine Sense, he retracted all kinds of divine abilities! At the same time, the scattered Red Glow Fire Spirit also re-aggregated its body, turning into a pair of fire wings two zhang long that attached to Zhang Nuo's body!

Yin He was somewhat surprised; he was only a Spirit Severing Stage cultivator, yet after taking one of his strikes, he was actually unscathed! This made him even more furious! He just wanted to get up and go again, but at this moment, Zhang Nuo's actions took him by surprise!

Zhang Nuo changed the seal in his hand and let out a low shout:

"Rest Meridian! Open!"

His body was penetrated by a meridian, and the Demonic Qi between heaven and earth surged wildly into Zhang Nuo's body!

"Life Meridian! Open!"

Before the sound of the previous sentence had faded, Zhang Nuo immediately let out the second low roar!

"Injury Meridian! Open!"

"Obstruction Meridian! Open!"

In one breath, Zhang Nuo directly opened all the first four meridians of the Eight Extremes Demon Veins! In an instant, the heavens and earth changed color, and endless Demonic Qi surged into Zhang Nuo's body like a vast river! His whole body was wrapped in a mass of Demonic Qi, and the four wings behind him flapped slowly.

This appearance was somewhat terrifying! Demonic Qi constantly tangled around Zhang Nuo! Even some Heaven and Earth Origin Qi mixed into it!

After the four meridians were fully opened, Zhang Nuo's cultivation level suddenly increased by two small realms, climbing directly to the Spirit Severing Late-stage! This feeling made his whole body tremble!
