Chapter 572: Insect Body

Zhang Nuo had not yet made a move, but once he did, he instantly slaughtered two Ninth-Rank demonic cultivators! This caused the two flying-type demonic cultivators, one black and one white, standing not far away, to gasp in shock!

The crowd atop Bushishan was even more excited, each of them as if injected with chicken blood, their shouts rising one after another! Tianyi Laodao, Xiangxin, and the others all wore expressions of astonishment on their faces!

It took only two moves, one for each, and two Ninth-Rank demonic cultivators had fallen just like that. If one could say that Zhang Nuo's previous slaughter of those low-rank minor demons was due to the gap in cultivation, these two Ninth-Rank demonic cultivators were simply incomparable to those minor demons!

"It seems Fellow Daoist Tianyi was right! Zhang Nuo is indeed a guy who is strong to the extreme. Even if we were to act, it would be impossible to slaughter two demonic cultivators so cleanly!"

The monk Xiangxin chanted a Buddhist name and clicked his tongue in wonder.

The others nodded in agreement, and it was from this moment on that not a single cultivator on Bushishan dared to look down on Zhang Nuo again.

At the same time, at the very back of the demonic beast army, Zhuyue also saw everything in front of her and let out a long sigh. She was, after all, a step too late. The thought had just arisen in her mind, yet Zhang Nuo had already slaughtered the two demonic beasts!

Just as Zhuyue felt a sense of pity for the two demonic cultivators, she saw the black and white flying-type demonic beasts flap their wings and rapidly charge into the high sky. With eyes like hawks, they locked onto Zhang Nuo on the ground. Opening their beaks, they spat out two cyan light beams as thick as arms, which shot directly toward him!

Lifting his head to glance at the high sky, Zhang Nuo's escape light rose, and he charged toward them as well. With a loud boom, the two cyan light beams struck the ground, sending smoke and dust everywhere, and a deep pit with a diameter of over four zhang appeared before everyone's eyes! It seemed this high-powered light beam attack was the trump card of these two black and white flying demonic beasts!

Zhang Nuo did not even use his Butterfly Wings. Relying on his body's flight speed, he flashed a few times and arrived above the head of the black demonic beast. He pressed his palm downward into the void, and immediately, a massive force like a mountain bore down upon the black demonic beast. The beast felt its entire body sink, and it actually lost the strength to even flap its wings, falling straight toward the ground!

On the other hand, the white demonic beast circled in mid-air. Seeing the black demonic beast struck to the ground, it let out a shrill, mournful cry. Its massive wings flapped several times, and countless feathers detached from its body. These feathers looked light and airy, but as soon as they left the beast's body, they immediately glowed with white spiritual light and, in a flash, shot toward Zhang Nuo!

Just as he intended to press his advantage and pursue the black demonic beast below, he suddenly felt an attack coming. A golden flow of light swirled over his body, and a golden dharma image two zhang tall emerged. At the same time, the Phantom Immortal Dharma Image wrapped its arms around Zhang Nuo. The clanging sounds were incessant. Those feathers struck the dharma image as if hitting a pile of steel, failing to harm it in the slightest!

Suddenly, Zhang Nuo let out a cold snort. A red light flashed in the eyes of the Phantom Immortal Dharma Image, and its figure moved eerily. With a few flashes, it appeared beneath the body of the white flying-type demonic beast!

After a roar, both fists struck out. At such close range, even a demonic beast known for its speed could not dodge this blow!

Boom!

A rain of blood suddenly appeared in mid-air; the white demonic beast was shattered by the dharma image. As for the falling black demonic beast, witnessing this scene, it let out a roar, but before its voice could fade, Zhang Nuo had already appeared silently by its side!

Spiritual light flashed between his ten fingers, and several streaks of Sword Qi slashed out rapidly! Following a scream, this black demonic beast had over a dozen bloody holes in its body. Its corpse fell to the ground, with only air coming out and none going in!

All of this happened very quickly. In the blink of an eye, two Ninth-Rank flying-type demonic beasts had died at Zhang Nuo's hands! Turning his figure, Zhang Nuo looked toward the back of the demonic beast army. While he was slaughtering these four demonic beasts, he had always felt a pair of unkind eyes staring at him!

When Zhang Nuo's gaze met Zhuyue's, both of them exclaimed in surprise! In each other's eyes, they both felt a thick, intense killing intent!

In a brief moment, four Ninth-Rank demonic beasts had fallen. Zhuyue's willow brows furrowed slightly, and her body turned into a streak of light, skimming over the large group of demonic beasts below and stopping directly in front of Zhang Nuo!

"Little guy! We meet again! This concubine has missed you very much!"

The bewitching aura on Zhuyue made Zhang Nuo feel very uncomfortable. Although this woman had completely evolved into a human, she could not erase the half-human, half-demon image in Zhang Nuo's mind!

"I didn't expect a beautiful snake to actually turn into a real beauty!"

Steadying his emotions, Zhang Nuo said indifferently.

"What? Are you also interested in this concubine's physical body?"

A white light flashed in Zhuyue's eyes, and then her pupils disappeared. Her eyes became chaotic, making one unable to stop themselves!

"Heart-Abandoning Pupils!"

Zhang Nuo let out a low cry, and at the same time, his eyes quickly moved away from Zhuyue! Lowering his head slightly, he looked at the woman relying on the pair of red eyes on the Immortal Illusion Dharma Image!

"It seems this concubine's charm is still not great enough! To actually make Fellow Daoist not want to look!"

The lingering voice was like heavenly music, causing one's heartstrings to fluctuate, but Zhang Nuo would not fall for her tricks. The Phantom Immortal Dharma Image let out a long howl at Zhuyue, instantly drowning out this voice full of enchantment!

"Hmm? The appearance of the dharma image has changed too?"

Frowning, only then did she discover that the dharma image Zhang Nuo had summoned was different from before; not only its appearance, but even its power was far greater than before!

Awoo! Awoo!

After a temporary calm, the demonic beast army below roared again and charged toward Bushishan! Because of Zhang Nuo, the demonic beasts had paused for a moment, but now that Zhuyue was holding Zhang Nuo back, the demonic beasts below had no obstacles and resumed their original offensive!

Zhang Nuo glanced downward, his mouth twitching a few times, but these things no longer mattered to him, because the young girl in front of him was his target!

"Zhang Nuo, I really didn't expect that a little guy who used to feed the Demon Refining Pool would grow to this extent!"

As soon as the three words "Demon Refining Pool" were spoken, Zhang Nuo's expression changed instantly. Only a few demonic cultivators in Huan Shou Gong knew about this matter; how did the girl in front of him know about it? Could it be that she was also a main force in Huan Shou Gong?

"Oh? You also know about the Demon Refining Pool. It seems you have a good relationship with the Huan Shou Gong Palace Master, Ai Yuchen?"

"Audacious! Is the name of the Palace Master something that you lowly humans can speak aloud?"

Upon mentioning Ai Yuchen, Zhuyue was suddenly furious. Looking at the girl who had just had a smiling face and now turned as cold as frost, Zhang Nuo was secretly shocked. So the Palace Master of Huan Shou Gong had such high prestige in the eyes of these demonic cultivators! Even for a human to mention her name was an insult!

"What is your name?"

"Zhuyue!"

Zhang Nuo blinked a few times. Zhuyue was a nice name, and she was beautiful, but it was a pity that the other party was a demonic beast!

"Alright! Fellow Daoist Zhuyue, since we are on the battlefield, let us speak with strength and put other things aside! Back then, I used some small tricks to scare you away, but now I will fight you fair and square!"

As he spoke, Zhang Nuo's figure drifted and he charged directly toward Zhuyue!

"Good! This concubine would like to see what kind of divine abilities you, a human boy, actually have!"

Seeing Zhang Nuo charge over, Zhuyue let out a delicate shout, and at the same time, she reached out and pointed at Zhang Nuo. Instantly, three white long snakes as thick as arms drilled out from her sleeves and bit toward Zhang Nuo's body!

Golden light flashed over his entire body, and with a movement of Zhang Nuo's Divine Sense, a Flying Sword shot out from his body and slashed toward the white snakes! Swish! A streak of spiritual light flashed; the Flying Sword was very fast, but the white snakes dodged even faster. The snake bodies bent, avoiding the Flying Sword, and with their mouths wide open, they bit heavily onto Zhang Nuo's body!

However, what surprised Zhuyue was that the golden light on Zhang Nuo's body was extremely sturdy; no matter how the snake mouths moved, they could not bite his skin!

"Hissing" sounds came continuously from the mouths of the three white snakes, and their venomous fangs, flashing with cold light, suddenly snapped with a crack! At the same time, Zhang Nuo scooped with both hands and grabbed the three white snakes that had emerged from Zhuyue's sleeves. He pulled his arms toward his chest with force.

Under the pull of this massive force, Zhuyue's delicate body swooshed toward Zhang Nuo's embrace! This sudden turn of events made the girl cry out in surprise. Seeing the distance between her and Zhang Nuo getting closer and closer, Zhuyue's other jade hand flipped rapidly, and a long sword, white as jade, appeared in her hand!

Borrowing the force of the forward charge, her fair wrist flipped quickly, and the sword shot toward Zhang Nuo's heart!

"Swish!"

A white streak of light tore through the sky and pierced directly through Zhang Nuo's body! This strike was originally launched by Zhuyue to save her own life, but she didn't expect to succeed in one move!

Her heart was filled with wild joy! Just as she was about to make her next move, an eerie scene appeared. She saw Zhang Nuo lift his head to look at her, a faint smile flashing in his eyes. That smile was very comfortable, just like a knowing smile between lovers! But in Zhuyue's eyes, it immediately shocked her!

Subsequently, Zhang Nuo's figure actually turned into a patch of red, and a "buzzing" insect sound rang out, instantly transforming into countless thumb-sized red beetles that scattered in all directions!

Not only was Zhuyue shocked, but even Tianyi and the others on the mountaintop were greatly puzzled! Before, seeing Zhang Nuo struck by the sword, these people were all very anxious, but the scene before them told them that Zhang Nuo had intentionally let Zhuyue's long sword pierce his body!
