Chapter 94: First Glimpse of Sharpness (Second update, please add to your library!)
Although Zhuge Qingjing sat where she was, showing no changes on the surface, her heart was surging like a raging sea. That a Loose Cultivator she had inadvertently brought into the Nanxuan Sect could actually be a Dual Spirit Sea Cultivator—this explosive thought left her unable to calm down for a long time.
Three days later, the twelve of them had rested enough and one after another began piloting their Flying Magic Tools again, flying toward the location of the two-headed snake.
Along the way, Zhuge Qing secretly observed Zhang Nuo, but under normal circumstances, it was simply impossible to tell the difference between a Dual Spirit Sea Cultivator and an ordinary cultivator.
If she were to ask him directly and he did not want to say, she would have no way to force him. Furthermore, the fewer people who knew about such things, the better; if it were too publicized, it might invite jealousy from other sects, and Zhang Nuo's life would be threatened!
A Dual Spirit Sea Cultivator is something one can only hope to encounter but not seek out, and as for his future achievements, they would be limitless. If utilized well, Zhang Nuo could completely become a trump card for the Nanxuan Sect!
The group was flying at an extremely fast speed when, at this moment, Yu Lei scanned downward with his Divine Sense, and two flashes of killing intent could not help but flicker in his eyes.
"Young Sect Master, there seem to be two cultivators ahead. I wonder if they are people from our sect?"
Among the twelve, only Yu Lei was at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, so his Divine Sense was far stronger than the others. Zhuge Qing tried hard to push her Divine Sense to the maximum, but she still could not discover the cultivators Yu Lei spoke of.
"See how it goes! If they are from our sect, bring them along; if they are from other sects, kill them!"
Although this woman possessed a pretty face, she was very decisive in her actions and was by no means a hesitant person! After hearing this, Yu Lei nodded slightly, but an idea instantly popped into his mind, and his gaze swept over to land on Zhang Nuo.
"Junior Brother Zhang! If those ahead are cultivators from other sects, would you mind letting us witness your divine abilities?"
As soon as Yu Lei finished speaking, everyone's gaze turned toward Zhang Nuo. They saw him standing on his Flying Sword, a faint smile on his face, as he said indifferently:
"What is difficult about that? Leave it to me!"
Do not be fooled by the lack of reaction on Zhang Nuo's face; in his heart, he had already cursed Yu Lei. This guy relied on his higher cultivation to constantly ignore his existence. Although he had not said it directly, his usual behavior was enough to prove that the other party did not think highly of him.
Upon hearing Yu Lei's words, Zhang Nuo immediately understood that he wanted to make him look bad in front of everyone in the Nanxuan Sect. Since the other party had already issued this challenge, if Zhang Nuo did not agree, it would instead make him appear cowardly.
It would be better to use this opportunity to let the people of the Nanxuan Sect recognize his true strength. In this way, Yu Lei would no longer look down on him, and he would also have established a good foundation of impression in front of everyone.
Yu Lei's approach happened to align with Zhuge Qing's wishes, so she did not speak to stop him, but instead watched Zhang Nuo quietly, feeling a bit more anticipation in her heart!
The group flew forward for another distance. By this time, Zhang Nuo's Divine Sense could already sense the two cultivators ahead. Through the faintly flickering Spirit Power fluctuations, he made a preliminary judgment: they were two Foundation Establishment Early Stage cultivators!
He felt a surge of wild joy in his heart. With Zhang Nuo's strength, if he were to suddenly launch a sneak attack on two Foundation Establishment Early Stage cultivators, as long as he unleashed his Fast Sword, it should not be a problem!
"Junior Brother Zhang! I have confirmed that the two ahead are definitely not disciples of our Nanxuan Sect. If I am not mistaken, they should be from the Beixuan Sect lineage, and their cultivation is around the Foundation Establishment Early Stage. Does Junior Brother have the confidence to kill both of them in one go?"
Yu Lei deliberately stated their cultivation strength, wanting to use it to scare Zhang Nuo. After all, Zhang Nuo himself only had Foundation Establishment Early Stage cultivation, and having him deal with two people of the same rank alone was somewhat difficult.
Upon hearing this, Chu Budong's face showed worry, and he was just about to open his mouth to request to go with Zhang Nuo, but Zhang Nuo was a step faster than him. As the spiritual light on the giant sword beneath his feet flared, he charged to the front of the team in an instant. As his figure drifted, a calm and unruffled voice reached everyone's ears.
"I already know their positions. You seniors go ahead; I will arrive shortly!"
After Zhang Nuo finished speaking, he did not look back and piloted the giant sword, charging toward the direction of the two Beixuan Sect disciples.
"Hmph! What an arrogant tone!"
A look of displeasure appeared on Yu Lei's face. To deal with two people of the same rank with the strength of one person—even he would likely have to expend some effort!
Zhuge Qing acted as if she had heard nothing and guided the group to continue flying forward. She had also heard Zhang Nuo's words just now, but having previously seen Zhang Nuo fight against the Blood Corpse, she believed in him a little.
Zhang Nuo's Divine Sense continuously sensed the presence of the two from the Beixuan Sect. When he was more than three miles away from them, he landed on the ground, took a deep breath, and quickly concealed the aura on his body.
Running with both feet, he charged toward his target. The ability of the 'Nine Dragon Sword Case' to conceal Spirit Power fluctuations was truly terrifying; when Zhang Nuo was still several dozen zhang away from the two Beixuan Sect members, they still could not discover his presence.
At this time, Zhang Nuo could already see their figures. He saw that both were male cultivators of medium build; one wore a white robe, and the other was in tight-fitting combat gear.
Steadying his mind, Zhang Nuo pushed off the ground with both feet, his body leaping high into the air and gliding across the sky like a large bird. With just this move, the distance between Zhang Nuo and the two closed significantly; now, he was less than twenty zhang away from them!
At this distance, if he launched his Fast Sword, he could at least kill one of them! Seeing that the time was right, Zhang Nuo did not hesitate. With a movement of his Divine Sense, the sword box on his back emitted a faint dragon's roar, and immediately, four beams of white light flashed out, striking directly at the vital points of the two men ahead!
Just as Zhang Nuo took action, the two Beixuan Sect members walking in front immediately sensed the powerful Spirit Power fluctuations behind them. The two were greatly shocked, and the man in combat gear shouted, "Not good!"
His body then flashed rapidly to one side, but the white-robed cultivator was half a beat slower. Two Flying Swords struck like lightning, leaving two fist-sized bloody holes in his back.
Poor white-robed cultivator; he did not even have time to let out a scream before he fell! Seeing that the strike was successful, Zhang Nuo was overjoyed and did not give the combat-gear-clad cultivator any time to catch his breath.
With one hand, he slapped his Storage Bag, and a green light flashed out. Grasping it in his hand, it was none other than the Wu Hook! Zhang Nuo's Dual Spirit Sea activated in unison, and Spirit Power surged into the Wu Hook like a tidal wave. With a slight turn of his wrist, the Wu Hook transformed into a green streak of light, striking directly at the combat-gear-clad cultivator.
