Chapter 609: The Great Battle of the Holy City (Part I)

"Fellow Daoist Niu, going to fetch reinforcements like this, I'm afraid it won't be very convincing, right?"

Zhang Nuo's cold voice rang out from behind Niu Xiukong, and instantly, the entire teahouse felt as if it had entered the depths of winter! The surrounding cultivators all felt a sudden chill!

"You... what do you want to do! This is the Holy City!"

Niu Xiukong's body was restrained by Zhang Nuo; his face turned ashen, and his voice trembled!

"Nothing much, I just want to make Fellow Daoist Niu's words more persuasive!"

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Nuo reached out and pressed down into the void toward Niu Xiukong!

Boom! An explosive sound rang out, and Niu Xiukong's physical body shattered with a bang! It turned into a rain of blood that drifted throughout the teahouse, and instantly, a pungent, bloody stench spread out!

The cultivators in the teahouse had never seen such a thing; for so many years, no one had ever dared to kill someone in public within the Holy City! Whoosh! The cultivators fled the teahouse one after another, and the large teahouse was suddenly empty!

At this moment, amidst a cluster of blood rain, a small cyan figure stood in mid-air; this was precisely Niu Xiukong's Nascent Soul!

"Now you can go back and find people!"

Releasing the restraint on the Nascent Soul, Zhang Nuo said slowly.

At this time, the Nascent Soul's small face was already deathly pale, so frightened that it didn't even have the strength to speak! To have one's physical body destroyed twice by a cultivator—this was not something anyone would find easy to bear!

The Nascent Soul's figure turned, transformed into a cyan beam of light, and disappeared at the entrance of the teahouse!

Zhang Nuo returned to his seat, as if nothing had happened, quietly drinking his tea! By now, the teahouse was already surrounded by cultivators; everyone wanted to see what kind of person this was, to actually dare to stir up trouble in the Holy City openly!

Before long, a figure rushed quickly into the teahouse. On Zhang Nuo's calm, unruffled face, a look of awe suddenly appeared. Although he had not yet seen who had entered, the terrifying Spirit Power fluctuations on the person indicated that the opponent had already reached the Golden Core Middle Stage!

"Who dares to run wild in the Holy City!"

The newcomer let out a loud shout, shaking the entire teahouse several times!

Zhang Nuo unhurriedly put down the teacup in his hand and looked up at the newcomer; it was just an acquaintance! It was precisely Yun Biehe, one of the Three Elders of the Human Emperor Realm!

"So it is Fellow Daoist Yun! How rude of me! I am Zhang Nuo!"

"It really is you! How come you couldn't make it in the Wuliang Dao Sect and want to come to the Human Emperor Realm to mix in now?"

Curling his lip slightly, Yun Biehe said with disdain!

Previously, Zhang Nuo had offended the Human Emperor and fled to the Wuliang Dao Sect, and now that he had fallen out with the Wuliang Dao Sect, this was the perfect opportunity to kill him. Even if Zhang Nuo died in the Holy City, he believed Beigong Zhenren would have nothing to say!

Back then, the Human Emperor promised not to take action against Zhang Nuo because Zhang Nuo was a member of the Wuliang Dao Sect, but now, he had become a Loose Cultivator, and no faction was willing to protect him!

"I am currently intending to defect to the Human Emperor Realm; I wonder if you are willing to take me in?"

Standing up, Zhang Nuo walked toward Yun Biehe and said calmly.

"Take you in! Of course I can, but you must hand over your life first!"

Previously, Zhang Nuo had destroyed Niu Xiukong's physical body, which clearly showed he was at odds with the cultivators of the Human Emperor Palace, so Yun Biehe did not believe a word he said!

With a movement of his Divine Sense, two streams of light shot out from his body and slashed toward Zhang Nuo!

Zhang Nuo's forward steps came to an abrupt halt. At the same time, blue electric arcs flashed on his body, a rumbling thunder sound rang out, and then he disappeared from where he stood!

The next moment, a slender thunder arc jumped out behind Yun Biehe, and Zhang Nuo appeared along with it! Golden Light flowed within his body, and the Phantom Immortal Dharma Image manifested! As the Dharma Image opened its mouth slightly, a golden beam of light shot toward Yun Biehe below!

Zhang Nuo did not hold back at all from the start. After all, the place he was in now was the Holy City, and there were at least four or five Refining Void Stage experts inside. If they all attacked him together, even with his great abilities, he would have no way to resist, so he had to take this opportunity to eliminate one while he could!

Yun Biehe never expected that Zhang Nuo would use a great divine ability right from the start. His heart turned over instantly, and his figure rushed forward. He only heard a loud, rumbling sound behind him!

The entire teahouse collapsed instantly, turning into a pile of rubble!

Zhang Nuo's figure soared into the sky! He looked coldly at Yun Biehe below! Although there was a Forbidden Air Restriction above the Holy City, for a Refining Void Stage cultivator, it was entirely possible to withstand the force of the restriction!

At this time, Yun Biehe had just crawled out from a pile of rubble. He looked up at Zhang Nuo and reached out, wanting to sacrifice his mirror Magic Treasure!

Zhang Nuo had seen with his own eyes how Zhan Luo was trapped in that mirror Magic Treasure! He let out a cold snort; with a flick of his sleeves, a cloud of red insects appeared and quickly surrounded Yun Biehe!

Just as his hand began to form a spell, he saw the sky-covering red beetles rushing toward him! Yun Biehe shrank his neck in fear; he certainly recognized the 'Hidden Wing Blood-Eating Insect', especially since Zhang Nuo had revealed this ability during the great war between the Immortal Domain and the Demon Realm back then, making him even less daring to be careless!

Turning his body around, he flew toward the high sky, wanting to use this to dodge the attack of the insect cloud!

"Fellow Daoist Yun! Leave your life behind!"

Watching the fleeing Yun Biehe, Zhang Nuo said with an icy voice. With a shake of his body, eighty-one Flying Swords appeared outside his body simultaneously! The brilliance of the swords turned, and they vanished instantly!

The next moment, spatial fluctuations occurred around Yun Biehe, and all the Flying Swords appeared! Using the Instant Sword, Zhang Nuo transmitted all the Flying Swords to the old man's side in one breath!

Following several sword hums, sword Qi crisscrossed to the left and right of Yun Biehe, and the Ten Thousand Swords Formation appeared out of thin air! Yun Biehe was directly trapped within the formation!

The sword shadows were grim, converging into a torrent that slashed directly onto Yun Biehe's body!

Only a scream was heard, blood Qi filled the sky, and a cyan beam of light rushed out of the Sword Formation quickly, speeding toward the direction of the Human Emperor Palace!

Zhang Nuo was quick-handed; one of his arms directly transformed into countless green branches and leaves, forming a giant palm in the sky that caught Yun Biehe's Nascent Soul in its grasp!

"Stay! Your Nascent Soul is very useful to me!"

The branches and leaves retracted rapidly, turning back into the shape of an arm! All of this happened very quickly; from the moment Zhang Nuo and Yun Biehe fought, it took less than a few breaths of time for one of the dignified Three Elders of the Human Emperor Realm to be wiped out by him!

At this time, the surrounding cultivators erupted in an uproar. Yun Biehe was not someone comparable to the likes of Niu Xiukong; to die at Zhang Nuo's hands in the blink of an eye was something many people could not accept!

At this moment, the cultivators on the ground gathered more and more, looking up at Zhang Nuo standing in mid-air. Many were seeing Zhang Nuo for the first time, and they felt somewhat suspicious in their hearts!

Seeing that his cultivation was only at the Lianxu Chuji, how could he have wiped out Yun Biehe, who was at the middle stage, in one go? It seemed that today in the Holy City, there would be a bloodbath!

"Fang Leihuo! Yun Biehe has already been killed by me! Are you still not coming out?"

Silently activating his Mysterious Technique, Zhang Nuo let out a long roar toward the direction of the Human Emperor Palace! Instantly, half of Wushuang Saint Emperor City could hear it! Such an act of openly provoking the Human Emperor was likely the first time it had happened in the history of the Human Emperor Realm!

"Audacious brat! Is the name of the Human Emperor something you can call out?"

Two beams of light rose simultaneously from above the Human Emperor Palace, and after a few flashes, they arrived in front of Zhang Nuo! The brilliance faded, revealing two old men!

"Oh! The other two of the Three Elders of the Human Emperor Realm! Fellow Daoist Bai, Fellow Daoist Tang, long time no see!"

The newcomers were Bai Jing and Tang Yun, the Three Elders of the Human Emperor Realm, whom Zhang Nuo had met once before on Shuang Feng Shan! The cultivation of these two was both at the Refining Void Middle Stage, and Zhang Nuo had seen a little of their strength during the Cage Battle!

"Zhang Nuo, what exactly do you mean! To actually dare to cause trouble in the Holy City?"

Tang Yun said with a face full of anger.

"It means nothing! It's just that the Wuliang Dao Sect doesn't want me anymore, but I still need to find a place to stay. I think the position of the Human Emperor is not bad, so I would like to ask the Human Emperor Fang to step down!"

Zhang Nuo said proudly, not putting the two Refining Void Middle Stage cultivators in his eyes at all! Bai Jing scanned the surroundings and truly did not find Yun Biehe; his heart couldn't help but stir. It seemed that Zhang Nuo's words just now were all true, and Yun Biehe had already died at his hands!

"Brother Tang, stop wasting words with him. It seems Yun Biehe has already died at his hands!"

"Indeed! Yun Biehe died not long ago; if you are in a hurry, I can send you on your way!"

Zhang Nuo said with a smile, yet the Phantom Immortal Dharma Image above his head struck silently! The Dharma Image's figure flickered and instantly vanished into mid-air! Bai Jing and Tang Yun both sensed something was wrong! They split to the left and right, simultaneously manifesting their own Magic Treasures!

At the same time, directly above Tang Yun's body, the Phantom Immortal Dharma Image eerily revealed its form, its five fingers slightly curled, blue electric arcs flashing in its palm; instantly, ten thousand bolts of thunder descended, shrouding him within them!

"Brother Tang, watch out!"

Witnessing this scene, Bai Jing let out a long cry of alarm; these blue electric arcs had a faint flame burning on their surface, looking very much like the legendary 'Blue Flame True Thunder!'

Facing two beings at the Refining Void Stage, Zhang Nuo dared not be the least bit careless, holding nothing back in his first strike! At the same time, with a flick of his robe sleeves, ten thousand Wind Blades rolled out, blocking Bai Jing to the side!

Tang Yun looked up and saw the ten thousand bolts of thunder falling; he urged his Flying Sword Magic Treasure with his Divine Sense, and the sword immediately spun horizontally above his head, and with the surging of the sword light, it intercepted the majority of the falling Blue Flame True Thunder!

Zhang Nuo raised his eyebrows slightly; it seemed that these three elders entrusted with the succession could exist in the Human Emperor Realm for so long not without reason. Being able to withstand the attack of the Blue Flame True Thunder with just a single Flying Sword showed that their supernatural powers were not weak!

Just as Tang Yun withstood the strike from the Phantom Immortal Dharma Image and was about to make a move against Zhang Nuo, a sudden change occurred! This turn of events made his heart run cold!
