Chapter 71: Drawing a Blade to Help

Seeing Zhang Nuo still bowing his head in deep thought, the woman pleaded repeatedly with a voice near tears, while her hands continuously shook the Storage Bag filled with Spirit Stones.

"Heh heh! Let's see where you can run!"

Just at this moment, a ray of light flashed across the sky; a man stepped on a Flying Magic Tool, rushed to the vicinity of Zhang Nuo and the woman, and landed on the ground after a cold laugh.

"This fellow Daoist, he is the one who wants to kill me!"

The woman seemed extremely afraid of the other party, her figure flashing as she hid behind Zhang Nuo. Looking up at the man who had chased them, one could see he had a robust build, a tiger-like back and a bear-like waist, and a face full of stubble. His appearance was indeed somewhat frightening.

However, when Zhang Nuo's Divine Sense swept over him, he discovered that this man's cultivation was also only at the Foundation Establishment Early Stage; it seemed the woman had not lied.

With a slight shift in his thoughts, Zhang Nuo made a bold decision: he would help the woman kill the man before him. Given his strength, even if this were a trap, as long as he was extra careful, escaping would be no problem.

If it were not a trap, then killing the man would yield over ten thousand Spirit Stones, at least solving the immediate problem of Spirit Stones.

"Aiyo! You little bitch! You even found a helper! Do you think I'm afraid just because of this?"

The robust man's expression sank slightly; he eyed Zhang Nuo askance, reached out to take a 'Wu Hook' from his Storage Bag, and as he injected his Spirit Power, it immediately transformed to three feet in size.

This 'Wu Hook' was cyan throughout, and its faint cyan glow made one's whole body feel cold. Zhang Nuo only had to glance at it to know it was no ordinary Magic Treasure.

"I agree! But after it's done, you must give me ten thousand Spirit Stones!"

Turning his head back, Zhang Nuo said to the woman behind him. Upon hearing Zhang Nuo agree, the woman immediately revealed a happy expression, her mouth constantly speaking words of gratitude.

"As long as you make a move, fellow Daoist! We will surely be able to kill him!"

The woman in the white palace dress also revealed a Flying Sword at this moment, but to Zhang Nuo's discerning eye, this Flying Sword was very ordinary. If this woman were to fight the robust man alone, she would have already suffered a great disadvantage in terms of Magic Treasure.

Since he had already promised her, Zhang Nuo did not hesitate any longer. He slapped his Storage Bag with one hand, and the 'Nine Dragon Sword Case' immediately flashed out, spinning around as it hovered before him.

The moment the Sword Box appeared, the man holding the Wu Hook had a slight change in expression, and the young woman standing beside Zhang Nuo also had a slight change in complexion; her beautiful eyes seemed to blink lightly toward the man opposite. This movement was extremely subtle, and Zhang Nuo did not notice it at all.

"Kid, it seems you really want to meddle in other people's business! Then don't blame me!"

After the robust man finished speaking, he flicked the Wu Hook in his hand, and it instantly turned into a streak of light, attacking Zhang Nuo. Seeing the opponent's fierce offensive, Zhang Nuo did not meet it head-on; his figure flashed to the left, and with a movement of his Divine Sense, two Flying Swords shot out from the Sword Box. Amidst the flashing white light, they slashed toward the man.

At this moment, the young woman in the white palace dress also drifted, and the inch-long Flying Sword in her hand emitted a soft chime as it also attacked the robust man.

The three Flying Swords arrived in front of the man almost simultaneously. The man was not panicked; he tapped his toes lightly on the ground, and his body retreated ten zhang away. With a movement of his Divine Sense, the Wu Hook flew back rapidly.

After three sounds of impact, Zhang Nuo's two Flying Swords, along with the palace-dressed woman's Flying Sword, were all knocked back by the Wu Hook. Just from this brief contact, Zhang Nuo felt confident; if it were a one-on-one fight, the robust man before him was definitely not his match. The only thing he needed to be careful of now was the palace-dressed woman.

Seeing the Flying Swords knocked back, Zhang Nuo moved his Divine Sense slightly, and the two Flying Swords circled in mid-air. At the same time, he cast two Dharma techniques with his hands, each sinking into a Flying Sword. Instantly, the brilliance of the Flying Swords flared, and like two balls of white light, they attacked the man again.

A cold sneer suddenly appeared on the corner of the man's mouth. He reached out and beckoned, and the Wu Hook flew back to his side rapidly. His lips moved slightly, and he was actually transmitting sound to someone.

The palace-dressed woman was standing to the rear right of Zhang Nuo, looking as if she were trying hard to retrieve her Flying Sword. Suddenly, her expression changed; she abandoned the Flying Sword she was retrieving, slapped her Storage Bag with one hand, and a black, several-zhang-long iron chain appeared in her hand.

With a soft "swish" sound, the iron chain lashed out toward Zhang Nuo like a giant snake. At this moment, Zhang Nuo was fully driving the two Flying Swords to attack the robust man, but he had already been extra careful regarding the palace-dressed woman.

Even so, feeling the sudden attack, a cold sweat broke out on his body! There was no time to think; with a movement of his Divine Sense, the 'Nine Dragon Sword Case' emitted a faint dragon roar, and at the same time, three more Flying Swords shot out.

The speed of these three Flying Swords was incredibly fast. The first two Flying Swords slashed onto the black iron chain, and only two crisp "Crack! Crack!" sounds were heard; the Flying Swords had forcefully cut the iron chain into three segments! The third Flying Sword did not stop at all, turning into a ray of white light that directly pierced through the woman's chest!

From the moment the palace-dressed woman launched her sneak attack on Zhang Nuo to the moment Zhang Nuo launched his Flying Swords in retaliation, all of this happened in the blink of an eye!

Still clutching the broken half of the iron chain, the woman had barely understood what was happening when the Flying Sword had already pierced through her body. With wide eyes, a stream of fresh blood sprayed out from the wound, and her corpse fell to the ground.

Zhang Nuo moved his Divine Sense, and the three Flying Swords that had attacked the woman, along with the two Flying Swords that had attacked the robust man, flew back to his side simultaneously.

"No wonder he called you a little bitch! You really are cheap! You actually wanted to make a move on me!"

After saying these words coldly, Zhang Nuo walked to the front of the palace-dressed woman's corpse and bent down to untie the Storage Bag at her waist. At this moment, the robust man's expression became exceptionally ugly; he held the Wu Hook in his hand, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets.

"I'm going to kill you!"

The man howled like a wild beast, the heart-wrenching sound causing many of the surrounding leaves to fall. But Zhang Nuo was not moved in the slightest; he gave a cold smile, and when he looked at the robust man, there was a bit more disdain.

Now the matter was very clear: the young woman in the white palace dress and the man opposite were in cahoots. The two had set a trap, waiting for Zhang Nuo to jump in, but they had not expected that Zhang Nuo had hidden his strength. When the palace-dressed woman finally launched her sneak attack, three Fast Swords had directly taken her life!

"This kind of old-fashioned trap has been used by countless people. Although this is my first time encountering it, I've heard it so often my ears have almost grown calluses! How about I send you on your way too, so you can be a pair of bitter lovebirds!"

The robust man's eyes were bloodshot, his rage almost blowing his skull open, and the Wu Hook in his hand emitted a soft chime. However, what happened in the next moment was something Zhang Nuo had not anticipated!
