Chapter 684: Still Not Dead?

The severed head of Lei Fengyu fell toward the ground, yet there was not a single trace of blood on his neck; cyan lightning flickered within the wound!

Witnessing this scene, Zhang Nuo felt a surge of joy in his heart! The "Sanqing Leixiao Net" was indeed very tough, but for Xuan Jin, no matter how sturdy something was, it could not withstand the impact of a full-bodied Five-Colored Profound Crystal Stone!

The five-colored glow that Xuan had just spat out was precisely what the Five-Colored Profound Crystal Stone had transformed into! Just as Xuan Jin thought that by severing Lei Fengyu's head with one sword strike, the battle was over, something he had not expected occurred!

The "Sanqing Leixiao Net" suddenly tightened, binding Xuan Jin and the headless corpse of Lei Fengyu together within the giant net! Arcs of cyan electricity, like countless threads, attacked Xuan Jin's body!

The crackling sound was incessant! Even though Xuan Jin's physical body was exceptionally strong, the numbing effect brought by the lightning was still more than he could bear! He did not even have the strength to lift the Red Blood Demon Sword in his hand!

The joy that had just appeared on Zhang Nuo's face turned ugly in an instant; he urged the Five Thunder Clone to tear at the "Sanqing Leixiao Net" continuously, but it had no effect at all!

Just at this moment, a cold laugh emanated from the void below! Zhang Nuo subconsciously lowered his head, only to see the severed head of Lei Fengyu hovering in the air, having used cyan lightning to manifest a body!

"I truly didn't expect it! Your Spirit Beast could break through my 'Sanqing Leixiao Net'! But even if it is broken, what use is it? Now I shall use his life to avenge the humiliation of being beheaded!"

From the sound of the voice, it was not difficult for Zhang Nuo to discern that Lei Fengyu had not suffered any serious injuries! Could it be that the opponent had used some secret technique before being beheaded?

Zhang Nuo's thoughts shifted, and just as he was about to speak, he saw killing intent rise in Lei Fengyu's eyes; countless short cyan rays appeared on the surface of the "Sanqing Leixiao Net" that wrapped around Xuan Jin! They were exactly the same as those that had attacked Qiong Qi before!

The power of a single cyan ray was already like this, let alone so many! As the cyan light flashed, countless cyan rays pierced into Xuan Jin's body!

Xuan Jin, already numbed by the cyan electric arcs, had no intention of resisting and let the cyan rays strike him! Zhang Nuo was terrified that something might happen to Xuan Jin and cried out in alarm, but those cyan rays, upon hitting Xuan Jin's body, were like striking refined steel and mysterious iron!

Not only did they fail to injure Xuan Jin, but they were bounced away a great distance! Lei Fengyu widened his eyes, unable to recover for a long time! He knew better than anyone how powerful the cyan rays emitted by the "Sanqing Leixiao Net" were! Yet they hadn't even damaged a bit of Xuan Jin's skin! Only tiny holes appeared on the surface of his clothes!

"What kind of Spirit Beast is it?"

Even forgetting that the two were in battle, Lei Fengyu asked Zhang Nuo in astonishment!

"How should I put it? It's complicated!"

Seeing that Xuan Jin was fine, Zhang Nuo felt his heart return to its place. Hearing Lei Fengyu's words, he gave a strange smile but did not reveal Xuan Jin's true identity at all!

Upon hearing this from Zhang Nuo, Lei Fengyu had the urge to slap himself! Now that he and Zhang Nuo were enemies, how could the other party easily leak the details of his own Spirit Beast?

Just at the moment Lei Fengyu was slightly stunned, a red glow rushed toward him; it was Qiong Qi! He shook the Zhutian Blade in his hand, and a hundred-zhang-long Sword Qi emerged! With a horizontal sweep, it once again struck Lei Fengyu's head!

Swish!

After the Sword Qi passed, the head was tossed high into the air, and the body formed by the cyan lightning below vanished after a few blurs the moment the head was severed!

However, something that gave Zhang Nuo a massive headache occurred: the head of Lei Fengyu, tossed high into the air, once again manifested a lightning body, staring at him unblinkingly!

"Why is he still not dead? What kind of secret technique did he use!"

Zhang Nuo's thoughts raced as he went through all the secret techniques he knew, but he still could not guess what it was!

"I want to see just how long you can live!"

With a roar toward Lei Fengyu in mid-air, Zhang Nuo's body surface shimmered with Golden Light, and the Phantom Immortal Dharma Image manifested! As the Dharma Image appeared, the spine on its back emitted a 'crack-crack' sound and grew rapidly, soon forming a complete skeleton!

The golden light, like boiling water, rolled in layers of waves across the surface of the Dharma Image's body!

As soon as the Phantom Immortal Dharma Image appeared, its eyes emitted two red rays, and at the same time, two zhang-long fire wings appeared on its back. With a full-force flap, it appeared before Lei Fengyu's head like a breeze!

Only now did Lei Fengyu look at Zhang Nuo with new eyes; a cultivator at the True Immortal World First Layer actually possessed so many divine abilities. If allowed to grow to a high-level realm, there would likely be no one in the True Immortal World who could be his opponent!

"Hoo!"

One fist of the Phantom Immortal Dharma Image, its surface wrapped in black-gold light, carried a gust of wind and slammed directly toward Lei Fengyu's head!

Before the fist even arrived, the overwhelming pressure caused the body formed by the cyan lightning to tremble, on the verge of dissipating! On Lei Fengyu's head, his hair flew backward, and the skin on his face sank inward!

After a thunderous boom, Lei Fengyu activated his Thunder Escape Technique at the critical moment, moving his head several hundred zhang away! Despite this, he was still terrified; if that punch had landed squarely on his head, he feared that even with his secret technique protecting his body, it would have been a narrow escape from death!

Looking at the current situation, Lei Fengyu felt it was very unfavorable for him! He wanted to escape first and wait until he recovered his physical body to seek revenge on Zhang Nuo!

Thinking of this, electric arcs flashed on the surface of his head, and he shot away into the distance! Zhang Nuo, seeing this, would not let him go! Urging his Divine Sense, the Phantom Immortal Dharma Image grabbed at the void in front of it, and instantly a hundred-zhang-long black spear was grasped in its hand—it was the Black Dragon Spear!

Aiming at the direction the head was fleeing, the Dharma Image hurled the long spear in its hand! The Black Dragon Spear transformed into a black ray, chasing down the fleeing head of Lei Fengyu like lightning!

Before he could even understand what was happening, the black ray pierced into his head! With a scream, the crown of the head opened, and a cyan light flew out from within. After condensing a few times, the Nascent Soul of Lei Fengyu appeared!

"So you hid your Nascent Soul in the Divine Sense sea behind your brow! No wonder you could discard your physical body!"

Seeing the forced-out Nascent Soul, the doubt in Zhang Nuo's heart was finally resolved! No matter how powerful a True Immortal's Nascent Soul was, without a physical body, it could not exert its true power!

"Still not dead! Let me strike another sword!"

Just as Lei Fengyu's Nascent Soul glared angrily at Zhang Nuo, Qiong Qi had somehow rushed behind the Nascent Soul and raised the Zhutian Sword in his hand once again; the Spirit Power lingering on the sword blade suddenly became incomparably violent! With a swish, he slashed out!

The Nascent Soul only felt a surge of Spirit Power fluctuation above its head; with no time to think, cyan electric arcs surged within its small hands, and it held them up toward the top!

Pop!

With a light sound, the Nascent Soul's pair of small hands used their palms to catch the descending Zhutian Blade right in the middle, and at the same time, cyan electric arcs climbed up the sword body! In an instant, they reached Qiong Qi's body!

Immediately, Qiong Qi felt as if his whole body had been struck by lightning, and with a scream, he let go of the Zhutian Blade! The Nascent Soul was greatly pleased and just as it reached out to grab this Mysterious Heaven Grade spirit treasure, a tall figure appeared behind it!

With a strange cry, the Phantom Immortal Dharma Image's hand grew larger, almost covering the vast space around it! At the same time, with a single scoop, it grabbed the Nascent Soul in its hand!

Don't think that Lei Fengyu's cyan electric arcs worked on Qiong Qi; they had absolutely no effect on the Phantom Immortal Dharma Image! The Dharma Image itself was condensed from the primordial spirit and was not a physical existence! Therefore, the numbing effect of the electric arcs was almost negligible! "Who exactly are you?"

Grabbed by the large hand filled with black-gold light, Lei Fengyu's heart turned cold! He knew that this time he would surely die! However, before dying, he needed to know the opponent's name; having fought for so long, he didn't even know who the other party was!

"My name is Zhang Nuo! When I was in the Immortal Domain, I was called the Human Emperor!"

Arriving beside the Phantom Immortal Dharma Image, Zhang Nuo said indifferently, his face wearing the posture of a victor!

"You are the first True Immortal I have slain since entering the True Immortal World! But you will not be the last! I will not let a single True Immortal of the Anti-Immortal Faction go! Let it start with you!"

As he spoke, Zhang Nuo nodded at the Phantom Immortal Dharma Image, and the Dharma Image raised the palm holding the Nascent Soul high above its head, followed by a flash of Golden Light!

With a thunderous explosion, Lei Fengyu's Nascent Soul was blasted into a rain of blood by the Violent King Explosive Kill! A dignified cultivator at the True Immortal World Three-Tier had fallen just like that!

Only then did Zhang Nuo let out a long breath; as long as the Nascent Soul was destroyed, no matter how powerful Lei Fengyu's cultivation was, he could not stir up any trouble!

Just as the Nascent Soul was destroyed, the "Sanqing Leixiao Net" that had trapped Xuan Jin also saw its power greatly diminished, eventually turning into countless cyan electric arcs and vanishing into mid-air!

Xuan Jin's body did not recover immediately and fell toward the ground; fortunately, Qiong Qi reacted quickly enough to catch him first, and then both transformed into streams of light, returning to Zhang Nuo's body!

With a movement of his Divine Sense, he retracted all his divine abilities and glanced at the mountain peak where Lei Fengyu had previously emerged! After a moment of thought, he turned into a streak of light and rushed over!

Through his investigation of the mountain peak, Zhang Nuo discovered that there were only two low-level cultivators there, posing no threat to him, which was why he wanted to go over and take a look! If you cut the grass without removing the roots, the spring breeze will make it grow again! He did not want to leave any clues for others to hunt him down!
