Chapter 690: One Against Ten Thousand

Changsong Laodao could not help but retreat several steps involuntarily; although he had immediately prepared himself in his heart, even so, he still did not escape this calamity!

Without seeing Zhang Nuo make any move, his figure simply vanished on the spot. The next moment, behind Changsong Laodao, a human figure blurred, and Zhang Nuo revealed his form. He quickly reached out his right hand, fingers formed into a blade, and thrust it toward the back of the old Daoist's heart!

"Instant Movement!"

Jialouluo and Qixian exclaimed almost at the same time. The movement technique Zhang Nuo had just used was precisely the legendary true Instant Movement art! Seeing that there was not the slightest sign beforehand, he had likely already reached the level of perfection! Such a bizarre movement technique was impossible to guard against!

Before the shocked expressions on the two could recover, Zhang Nuo's hand-blade had already pierced to the back of Changsong Laodao's heart! At this very moment, Changsong Laodao let out a strange cry, the hairs on his head suddenly standing straight up, and without even turning his head, he thrust them toward Zhang Nuo behind him!

His messy hair moved without wind! Each strand stood upright like a cluster of black steel needles, but what everyone did not expect was that Zhang Nuo did not even have the intention to dodge, letting the black hair pierce into his own body!

In their ears, they heard several light sounds and a scream! It was seen that when Changsong Laodao's hair was still several inches away from Zhang Nuo's body, it was blocked by an invisible force! Meanwhile, Zhang Nuo's hand had already plunged into his back!

With a twist of his five fingers inside, he pulled out Changsong Daoist's heart. Having one's heart stolen—this kind of immense pain was truly not something a human could endure!

However, the old Daoist, being in the True Immortal realm, still gritted his teeth and dashed forward rapidly!

"Return my heart!"

The Daoist robe on his body had already been dyed red by blood, but the old Daoist ignored it entirely, roaring at Zhang Nuo like a madman!

"Return it to you? This Emperor will send you to hell right now! Along with this heart!"

After speaking, Zhang Nuo exerted force with his five fingers, and the heart still beating slightly in his hand immediately turned into a mist of blood. Afterward, Xuanjin, who had been standing beside Jialouluo, suddenly struck! Following a flash of gray light, Changsong Daoist's body was torn to pieces! Even his Nascent Soul did not have time to escape!

By the time everyone regained their senses, Xuanjin was already standing in the position where Changsong Daoist had previously stood. Bathing in the faint blood rain, there was not a single expression on Xuanjin's face! However, no one knew how he had struck; they only felt a gray light flash, and Changsong Daoist had fallen!

Witnessing this scene, Qixian dared not remain here any longer for anything. Zhang Nuo had killed a two-stage True Immortal realm cultivator with a mere wave of his hand; if he were to turn his killing intent toward him, the consequences would be the same as Changsong Daoist's!

Just as he wanted to control his escape light to flee, a red light suddenly rushed out from Zhang Nuo's body, and with just a single circling motion, it intercepted Qixian!

"My master hasn't said you could leave yet?"

The red light receded, revealing the form of Qiongqi from within. Qixian was slightly startled, his heart beating violently several times; the scene of Changsong Daoist being killed just now surfaced before his eyes again!

Once Zhang Nuo saw that Qiongqi had kept an eye on Qixian, he returned to Jialouluo's side.

"Should this person be kept?"

His words held the power over Qixian's life and death! Jialouluo's expression darkened slightly, and then killing intent rose in her eyes as she said:

"Kill him!"

The two words were spoken lightly, but to Qixian's ears, it felt as if his body had been struck by lightning. Just as he wanted to escape at any cost, he saw Qiongqi open both hands, and two red rays trapped him inside! The red rays were like knives, and as they flew up and down, they minced him into meat paste!

As for the remaining Great Accomplishment Stage cultivators of the Anti-Immortal Faction, they were already dumbfounded with fear, standing on the spot without anyone daring to move easily!

"This Venerable one will go to help Fairy Ai break the restriction of Wuling Mountain; these people are left to you!"

Seeing that the two great enemies had been dealt with, Jialouluo immediately thought of Ai Yuchen at the top of the giant umbrella!

"Rest assured! No one here will survive!"

Before Zhang Nuo's voice had even faded, Xuanjin and Qiongqi flew into mid-air. It was seen that one by one, the Great Accomplishment Stage cultivators, under the attacks of these two Spirit Beasts, were like dough being kneaded, all of them being slaughtered!

Meanwhile, Jialouluo flew directly to the top of the umbrella to help Ai Yuchen urge the Array Disk together! Ai Yuchen, who had been struggling to hold on, suddenly felt a surge of Spirit Power merging into the Array Disk, and looking up, it was Jialouluo!

"How is it? Have the matters below been resolved?"

She looked at Jialouluo with a puzzled expression; as for the fact that Zhang Nuo had appeared, this woman actually knew nothing at all! It seemed that the massive consumption of Spirit Power had caused her to lose her previous vigilance!

"The Human Emperor has returned! And his cultivation has also improved quite a bit! Now we can safely break the seal! Even if the Immortal Lord arrives in person, he can hold him off!"

Jialouluo said noncommittally, but to Ai Yuchen's ears, it was extremely hard for her to believe. Could the 'Eight Thousand Array Dao' really have such an effect? Zhang Nuo had only stayed inside for a few decades, and he already had the strength to contend with the Immortal Lord!

At this time, Zhang Nuo had already recalled the two Spirit Beasts back into his body! In the sky, apart from Jialouluo and the others, not a single shadow of an Anti-Immortal Faction cultivator could be found!

Jialouluo flipped one hand and retracted the giant umbrella, then exerted all her strength to drive the Spirit Power in her Divine Sea to break the seal of Wuling Mountain!

Red tentacles firmly grasped the cyan light pillar. It was seen that the cyan light and red light intertwined and tangled together, competing with each other! And on the surface of the cyan light pillar, countless tiny cracks appeared! With the strength of Zhang Nuo's Divine Sense, he could only barely detect them!

It seemed that breaking the seal was only a matter of time! Zhang Nuo stood not far from the cyan light pillar, his Divine Sense wide open, shrouding the surrounding hundreds of thousands of miles of territory!

Time passed bit by bit. After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Zhang Nuo's brows moved suddenly, and then a golden flow of light turned on his body, and a golden Dharma Image several zhang tall appeared above his head!

As soon as the Phantom Immortal Dharma Image appeared, it flashed and rushed to the side of Jialouluo and Ai Yuchen!

"It seems that more Anti-Immortal Faction cultivators have arrived! Let the Dharma Image protect you here first! This Emperor will be back shortly!"

After speaking, without waiting for Jialouluo's agreement, Zhang Nuo's figure vanished on the spot!

In the void of hundreds of thousands of miles, an escape light was speeding toward the direction of Wuling Mountain! Inside the escape light was an old man, with the appearance of being over seventy years old, his facial expression stiff; one could not see joy, anger, sorrow, or happiness on his face!

The old man, who was fully driving his escape light, suddenly felt the void above his head fluctuate, and immediately afterward, a powerful Spiritual Pressure covered him from above. At the same time, a hundred-zhang giant hand formed by spiritual light pressed down toward him rapidly!

The old man was startled and hurriedly changed direction. The giant hand missed and landed on the ground! With a loud boom, the mountains and rivers for tens of thousands of miles were leveled into plains! Dust and smoke rose straight into the clouds!

"Who is it? Sneaking around! Come out and meet this old man!"

With his soul still shaken, the old man almost cursed. If he had been even a fraction slower in the previous strike, he would have only met his end!

In mid-air, Zhang Nuo stood tall, a faint cold smile appearing on his face! The old man below was only at the fourth stage of the True Immortal realm!

"Ninth stage!"

After the old man saw clearly where Zhang Nuo was, he could not help but gasp! Not to mention anything else, the vast Spiritual Pressure alone was enough to show that the opponent was a ninth-stage cultivator! One must ask, in the True Immortal World, there had never been a ninth-stage figure! Who exactly was this person?

"Are you also a cultivator of the Anti-Immortal Faction?"

Zhang Nuo reached out and pointed, his tone not polite in the slightest!

"This old man is He Zhe! I am the Left Protector of the Immortal Lord! I do not know who you are, Fellow Daoist? According to what this old man knows, there are no cultivators with such powerful cultivation in the True Immortal World!"

"Since you are a person of the Anti-Immortal Faction, then there is nothing more to say! Go to your death!"

Zhang Nuo's gaze shifted slightly, the Evil Qi on his body erupted, and with a movement of his figure, he rushed toward He Zhe! Hearing this sentence from the other party, He Zhe's expression changed immediately! It seemed that this powerful cultivator was an enemy, not a friend! He must be in the same group as Jialouluo and the others!

But he had never heard that among the cultivators Jialouluo brought up from the lower realm, there was such a figure! He had actually cultivated to the ninth stage!

Just as his thoughts shifted slightly, Zhang Nuo arrived before him, and with one hand, he grabbed toward the old man in the void! He Zhe's heart sank, his figure retreated rapidly, and at the same time, he raised his hand and sacrificed a Talisman!

As soon as this Talisman was released, it immediately flashed with golden light, and with a transformation, it turned into a giant Bronze Puppet about five zhang tall!

The force of Zhang Nuo's grab landed exactly on the puppet! In their ears, they heard a loud explosion, and the entire puppet burst apart, its body falling to the ground in pieces!

"Puppet Talisman! I didn't expect this Emperor to be able to see this kind of thing again!"

A sharp light flashed in Zhang Nuo's eyes. Back when he was in the Human Realm, he had also obtained some Puppet Talismans, but their grade was not as high as He Zhe's!

Seeing Zhang Nuo destroy a Refining Void Stage Puppet with just a single strike, the old man was not surprised! Steadying his mind, He Zhe moved his hands and robe sleeves several times, and instantly, tens of thousands of Talismans were unleashed by him!

One could see these Talismans flashing with light of various colors, and after a few transformations, the surrounding sky was densely packed with Puppets of different shapes!

The cultivation of these Puppets was at least at the Great Accomplishment Stage, and there were even a few Immortal Puppets among them that were at the True Immortal Second Realm!

"What? You want to win by numbers?"

Sweeping his Divine Sense over these Puppets, Zhang Nuo's expression shifted slightly; after all, the quantity was too great, and their cultivation was not weak either. If tens of thousands of Puppets were to launch an attack on him all at once, their power could not be underestimated!

"I admit my cultivation is inferior to yours! But with so many high-level Puppets, even if you are a cultivator of the Ninth Realm, it is impossible for you to take them all on!"

He Zhe gave a cold laugh and hid his figure behind the multitude of Puppets!
