Chapter 532: Heart-Abandoning Pupils

Watching Lu Song, who was coiled beneath the body of the beautiful snake-woman, Zhang Nuo's brows locked tightly together! It was not that he did not want to save him, but the opponent was far too powerful; if he were to force an intervention, he would only become Lu Song's death warrant!

The snake-woman ignored Zhang Nuo, merely moving her body to bring Lu Song's face directly opposite her own!

"You human cultivators, don't you all love beautiful women? Do you think I am beautiful?"

This voice was extremely soft and beautiful, truly like celestial music descending to the mortal world; even the sounds of heaven could be no better! At the same time, as the snake-woman spoke these words, a brilliance flickered within her slightly reddened eyes, and a strange pattern slowly emerged!

Zhang Nuo stood in the distance, but his Divine Sense still sensed the change in the demon cultivator's eyes, and his heart turned over instantly! He saw that there was something strange in the snake-woman's eyes, as if she had activated some kind of eye technique!

Upon seeing those alluring eyes, the fearful expression originally on Lu Song's face vanished in an instant! Within his pupils, a sheet of white mist surged, his limbs hung down naturally, and he looked as if he had abandoned all power of resistance!

Seeing this, Zhang Nuo could be even more certain that the opponent had used some kind of eye technique capable of bewitching the mind! Slowly, the snake-woman's body released the coiled Lu Song!

"Is he your companion?"

Extending a slender, jade-like finger, the snake-woman pointed at Zhang Nuo, her soft, feminine voice continuing to emerge. Lu Song turned his body at this moment; his eyes had lost the luster of a human, white mist welled up within his pupils, and he answered in a dazed manner:

"No!"

"Will you kill him for me?"

It was another extremely charming sentence. Zhang Nuo felt a layer of goosebumps rise over his entire body upon hearing it, but to Lu Song's ears, it seemed to possess infinite magic! He moved his body, pushing the speed of a Spirit Transformation Stage cultivator to the limit, and charged fiercely toward Zhang Nuo!

With a shake of his sleeves, two hooks flashing with green light were unleashed! These two hooks were a pair of Magic Treasures; splitting left and right, they slashed toward Zhang Nuo from both sides!

Taking a deep breath, murderous intent erupted in Zhang Nuo's eyes. Since Lu Song had already been bewitched by the demon beast, he was no longer his friend. Furthermore, he had not known Lu Song for very long, and in the face of a life-or-death moment, Zhang Nuo did not hesitate again!

With a flicker of his figure, a gray glow rolled out from his body, directly manifesting the phantom image of the Underworld King. The phantom struck out with its fists to the left and right, and two invisible fist winds deflected the two incoming hooks. On the other hand, the phantom opened its mouth slightly, gathering a wave of Heaven and Earth Origin Qi at its lips to form a ball of light no larger than a fist!

Boom! The moment the light ball formed, it was launched directly, striking Lu Song in a flash! Blood mist rose in mid-air, and Lu Song's body shattered, not even his Nascent Soul escaping!

"Tsk tsk! You really are ruthless; you killed your own companion so cleanly!"

The snake-woman flicked her snake tail, speaking as if she were extremely impressed!

"Having been struck by your Heart-Abandoning Pupils, should I have kept him to deal with me?"

Having killed Lu Song, Zhang Nuo felt not a shred of guilt. Today's events were all caused by him; if the Lu siblings had not found him, he would not have fallen into such a desperate situation!

Hearing Zhang Nuo reveal the secret of her eyes, the snake-woman was stunned for a moment, then covered her mouth and laughed lightly.

"I couldn't tell you had such extensive knowledge! To think you actually know the name of my eyes!"

Zhang Nuo had not discovered the secret of the snake-woman's eyes before, but later, noticing Lu Song's strange expression and his unhesitating attack against him, he recalled that when he was trapped in the Huan Shou Gong years ago, Xuan Jin had stolen many demon cultivation techniques from the palace for him to read, and one of the Jade Slips had mentioned this type of eye technique!

However, the Heart-Abandoning Pupils were innate and could not be obtained through cultivation. These eyes had to be paired with the corresponding technique to unleash their power; neither could be missing!

Seeing that the snake-woman did not deny it, Zhang Nuo became even more hesitant! Before him was a Nine-Tier, semi-transformed demon beast that had opened its intelligence, while he was only a Spirit Transformation Initial Stage cultivator. The huge disparity between the two made him not want to stay here, but as his thoughts turned, Zhang Nuo felt something was strange.

Why would this snake-woman come to this Cave Abode? Could it be that this Cave Abode was of great help to demon beasts? Thinking this in his heart, his gaze fell upon the entrance of the cave.

The snake-woman's gaze turned cold! After flicking her half-foot-long tongue back and forth a few times, she said coldly:

"Forget it, I won't play with you anymore! Anyway, all human cultivators who come here must die!"

As soon as her voice fell, her figure flickered in mid-air, and she reached out to pat her lower snake body! Dozens of scales wrapping the snake body detached themselves!

These scales were pure white and crystalline, each one the size of a palm!

Swish! Swish!

Following several sounds of breaking through the air, those white scales slashed toward Zhang Nuo! The thin-as-cicada-wing scales flew at an incredible speed! In the blink of an eye, they were right in front of Zhang Nuo! Just as he wanted to unleash a Magic Treasure to block them, the scales underwent a strange change; they fluttered up and down in mid-air and suddenly split into several parts.

The dozens of scales suddenly became thousands! Like a whirlwind formed of scales, they instantly wrapped Zhang Nuo inside!

This sudden turn of events gave Zhang Nuo a great shock; he had not expected the snake-woman's attack to be so bizarre. Hiding beneath the Underworld King phantom and feeling the sound of the scales striking the phantom, a chill rose in his heart! If this were an ordinary Spirit Transformation Stage cultivator, they would have been ground to dust under this strike, not even leaving bone fragments behind!

The snake-woman merely glanced at Zhang Nuo, who was wrapped by the numerous scales! A smile appeared on her beautiful face. Just as she was fully convinced that she could kill Zhang Nuo in one strike, a black light suddenly erupted from within the many scales. This black light raged wantonly; as soon as the scales were touched by the black light, they immediately lost their power and fell directly to the ground!

"Falling Profound Light!"

The snake-woman widened her eyes in terror, looking at Zhang Nuo in disbelief! How could such a profound technique from the Underworld appear on a human cultivator?

"Are you from the Underworld?"

Not until all the scales were struck down by the 'Falling Profound Light' did the snake-woman snap out of her daze. Her previous charm and allure had all vanished! Her cold, grim face actually possessed a certain cold, icy beauty!

"What if I am? What if I am not?"

Zhang Nuo neither denied nor admitted it, speaking vaguely. At the same time, a flash of Yin energy appeared between his brows, and a black butterfly flew out, circled in front of him, and landed on his shoulder!

"Hell Butterfly!"

This time, the snake-woman almost confirmed her conjecture. Possessing the 'Falling Profound Light' and the rare Hell Butterfly of the Underworld, this cultivator must be from the Underworld, and very likely an External Incarnation of one of the Ten Kings of the Underworld!

Seeing the snake-woman's surprise, Zhang Nuo decided to go all the way and simply acted as an Underworld cultivator. He gently flipped his right hand, and a tender green tree grew out from it, becoming several feet tall in the blink of an eye! The lush canopy of the tree covered Zhang Nuo entirely beneath it!

"Purifying Underworld Divine Tree!"

The snake-woman was completely convinced! Zhang Nuo was definitely an External Incarnation of one of the Ten Kings of the Underworld; otherwise, how could he have so many Underworld treasures on his person? These treasures were all things that were highly sought after but impossible to obtain!

At the thought of the Ten Kings of the Underworld, the snake-woman turned her body and, without even saying goodbye, fled directly into the distance! Seeing this, Zhang Nuo was overjoyed; it seemed demon beasts were just demon beasts, actually scared away by these three Underworld items!

Only after watching the snake-woman disappear into the horizon did he set his heart at ease. With a move of his Divine Sense, he retracted all his supernatural powers and slowly landed on the ground! After waiting for a while, he saw that the snake-woman did not return.

He walked toward the cave entrance, and with a flick of his sleeves, a gust of wind emerged, blowing away all the poisonous gas lingering around that 'Ghost King Grass'.

Stooping down, he pulled out the Ghost King Grass, threw it into his Storage Bag, and raised his eyes to look inside the Cave Abode!

This snake-woman had been guarding the cave; it seemed this Cave Abode was not simple! With a mental connection, Zhang Nuo sent a voice transmission to Xuan Jin!

Before long, a Golden Light emerged from the ground at Zhang Nuo's feet. As the Golden Light dissipated, it revealed the appearance of Xuan Jin!

"Master! You are truly amazing! You actually scared away that Nine-Tier demon snake!"

Zhang Nuo felt speechless; even he had not expected this. It seemed demon beasts were still very afraid of the Underworld! In fact, he did not know that the real reason the snake-woman fled was because she thought Zhang Nuo was an External Incarnation of one of the Ten Kings of the Underworld, which was why she had the thought of fear!

If she had known that Zhang Nuo was not at all what she thought, the snake-woman would likely have pestered him endlessly until she killed him!

"Is there anything strange in the cave?"

Xuan Jin had been inside the Cave Abode for some time; with his Earth Escape, he should have seen most of the entire Cave Abode!

"There is, Master had best go in and see for yourself!"

Xuan Jin frowned, as if he had no way to express everything he had seen with words!

"Alright! Let's go in quickly. If there is nothing of value inside, we will leave immediately! I am afraid that snake might return!"

Zhang Nuo nodded slightly, then stepped into the Cave Abode; his purpose for this trip was only to obtain that stalk of "Ghost King Grass," and if the item was obtained, there was no need to waste time in such a dangerous place!

Just as he walked into the Cave Abode, Zhang Nuo felt that the Spiritual Qi inside the cave was dense, a world of difference from outside the cave! If half of one's body were outside and half inside, the body would feel two completely different concentrations of Spiritual Qi!
