Chapter 95: Looking at Someone with New Eyes (Third update! Please add to your collection!)

~7 min read 1,311 words

Zhang Nuo's set of attacks was extremely coherent, almost completed in one breath and unleashed instantly. The moment the sturdy-looking cultivator's feet touched the ground, his Divine Sense detected the cyan streak attacking from behind.

In an instant, the sturdy-looking cultivator leaped up again, his body dodging to the side almost horizontally. Seeing this, a look of surprise flashed in Zhang Nuo's eyes; the sturdy-looking cultivator's movement technique was too agile. If it were an ordinary cultivator, it would have already been very difficult to dodge the previous Flying Sword attack.

But this person had followed up by dodging the attack of the Wu Hook; it seemed the opponent must have practiced some kind of Body Refining technique, otherwise his movement technique would never be so agile.

"Boom!"

The cyan streak struck the ground where the sturdy-looking cultivator had originally been standing. A large pit more than half a zhang deep appeared instantly, and as smoke and dust rose, earth and stone flew everywhere!

While the sturdy-looking cultivator's body was still moving sideways, the corner of his eye swept over the large pit on the ground, and he couldn't help but gasp. If his movement technique had been even a little slower, this pit would have become his grave!

But before the sturdy-looking cultivator could recover from the recent terror, his Divine Sense immediately sensed something was wrong! As he turned his head, he saw four white lights leaving behind afterimages in their original positions, shooting toward him with incredible speed.

This time, the sturdy-looking cultivator had no way to dodge Zhang Nuo's four Flying Swords. As the four white lights gradually magnified in his eyes, his heart also slowly turned cold!

"Swish!"

Almost at the same time, the four Flying Swords pierced through the sturdy-looking cultivator's body. The moment his body slowly collapsed, the sturdy-looking cultivator finally turned his head back and saw the cultivator who had ambushed the two of them.

He saw a young cultivator wearing a light blue robe walking slowly toward him, a smile lingering on his face, with no murderous intent visible.

But it was this very young cultivator who had killed them both in the blink of an eye. Zhang Nuo's light footsteps reached the sturdy-looking cultivator's ears, yet they felt as heavy as a giant's footsteps. Slowly, he closed his eyes, filled with unwillingness!

Zhang Nuo walked to the front of the sturdy-looking cultivator and shook his head slightly. If he hadn't launched the Fast Sword a second time, he probably wouldn't have been able to kill this person. The second attack was at close range, and the speed of the Flying Swords was astonishingly fast; even with Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivation, one would be unable to dodge under such circumstances.

Reaching out, he took the Storage Bags from the bodies of the sturdy-looking cultivator and the white-robed cultivator. Zhang Nuo took one last look at their corpses, then put away his Magic Treasure and, controlling his Flying Sword, quickly went to catch up with Zhuge Qing's group.

Zhang Nuo had basically not delayed much time in killing the two, so after flying at full speed, it didn't take long before he saw the members of the Nanxuan Sect flying ahead.

"It's Junior Brother Zhang who has returned!"

A Nanxuan Sect cultivator flying at the very back suddenly said loudly, as if he had seen a monster.

Yu Lei turned his head abruptly and saw a stream of light rapidly flying in their direction from behind. Sweeping his Divine Sense into the stream of light, he indeed saw Zhang Nuo standing atop a giant sword.

"Heh heh! How did you come back so quickly? You weren't discovered by the opponent and chased back, were you!"

With a cold sneer, Yu Lei did not believe that Zhang Nuo could have killed two beings of the same rank in such a short amount of time.

However, when his Divine Sense swept behind Zhang Nuo, he did not find any cultivators chasing them. Zhuge Qing also slowed her flight speed at this time, a look of slight surprise on her pretty face, her thoughts somewhat similar to Yu Lei's.

Before long, Zhang Nuo arrived in front of the Nanxuan Sect group while controlling his Flying Sword. There was no expression on his face, and it was impossible to tell whether he had succeeded or failed.

"Junior Brother Zhang! How was the result of this strike? Did you manage to kill the two from the Beixuan Sect?"

Before Zhuge Qing could speak, Yu Lei was the first to rush to Zhang Nuo's side, saying with a look of slight disdain on his face. At the same time, everyone's gaze was cast upon Zhang Nuo; they did not believe that Zhang Nuo could have killed two beings of the same rank in such a short time.

Some cultivators who were on good terms with Yu Lei already had mocking expressions on their faces; they were waiting for the moment Zhang Nuo would make a fool of himself!

However, Zhang Nuo's performance left them greatly disappointed. He first gave a faint smile, then said to Yu Lei:

"Many thanks for your concern, Senior Brother Yu. This time, I did not fail the important task entrusted to me by you!"

As he spoke, Zhang Nuo raised his hand, and two gray Storage Bags appeared in his palm! On these two Storage Bags, a 'Bei' character the size of a thumb was embroidered!

"It's the Storage Bags of the Beixuan Sect disciples!"

Chu Budong was the first to exclaim. Zhuge Qing also quickly came to Zhang Nuo's side, her beautiful eyes darting as she kept examining the two Storage Bags.

"They are indeed used by Beixuan Sect cultivators!"

A moment later, Zhuge Qing said as if confirming. In an instant, the expressions of the Nanxuan Sect members all changed. Yu Lei, in disbelief, looked at the Storage Bags in Zhang Nuo's hands several times. In the end, the answer he reached was exactly the same as Zhuge Qing's.

"Junior Brother Zhang's magical powers are truly not small. To be able to eliminate two beings of the same rank in such a short time, it is truly a great fortune to have you join our sect!"

Breaking the brief silence, Zhuge Qing raised her eyebrows slightly and said with a smile in her eyes.

"Junior Brother! You have truly made us all look at you with new eyes! Haha!"

Chu Budong also said pleasantly.

"I only succeeded in an ambush while the two were completely off guard; it cannot be considered honorable."

Zhang Nuo glanced at everyone's expressions and spoke modestly, but when his gaze fell on the cultivators who had mocked him earlier, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Although Zhang Nuo spoke lightly, everyone understood the degree of difficulty involved. Everyone present, no matter who, if asked to kill two beings of the same rank in such a short time, would probably not be able to achieve such speed.

When Zhang Nuo's gaze fell on Yu Lei, he saw that the other party's face was gloomy, the arrogance from just a moment ago completely swept away. Suddenly, their gazes met, and invisible sparks erupted; it seemed neither was willing to yield to the other.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Zhuge Qing immediately spoke up to interrupt their staring contest.

"Alright! The matter is finished, let us continue on our way!"

Taking this opportunity, Zhang Nuo nodded in agreement, then joined the group, and the party began to fly toward the location of the two-headed snake once again.

However, ever since Zhang Nuo revealed his true strength, the people of the Nanxuan Sect no longer dared to underestimate him! Zhuge Qing was even happier in her heart; it seemed she had truly found a treasure this time!
