Chapter 96

The group of cultivators from the Nanxuan Sect traveled, stopping and going, and in the blink of an eye, two months had passed. During these two months, whenever they were tired, they would descend to the ground to rest for a few days before continuing their journey. Sometimes, if they encountered high-tier demonic beasts along the way, they would join forces to slay them.

After harvesting the useful materials from the demonic beasts, they would leave immediately. However, during these several skirmishes, Yu Lei had been constantly keeping an eye on Zhang Nuo's Magic Treasure, yet each time he was left somewhat disappointed.

When Zhang Nuo took action, he basically only used the Wu Hook; as for the Sword Box on his back, he had not used it even once. Yu Lei knew clearly that there must be something strange about the Sword Box, but since Zhang Nuo would not use it, he could not discover it!

It was not just him; even Zhuge Qing was constantly observing Zhang Nuo. However, in the last few skirmishes, Zhang Nuo had been very understated, and no matter how one looked at it, he did not seem like someone capable of killing two beings of the same cultivation level.

Regarding their reactions, Zhang Nuo did not take them to heart at all, waving the Wu Hook as if no one else were around and launching attacks at the appropriate moments.

During this period, Zhuge Qing had been particularly close to Zhang Nuo, and the two had spoken the most. Because of this, many Nanxuan Sect cultivators were somewhat envious of Zhang Nuo, or even jealous.

Zhuge Qing was not only beautiful, but she was also the biological daughter of Sect Master Zhuge An. Who wouldn't want to get closer to a woman with such beauty and influence?

Especially Yu Lei; every time he saw Zhang Nuo chatting happily with Zhuge Qing, his teeth would itch with hatred. If Zhang Nuo had not appeared, he would have been the main force in this mission to slay the two-headed snake, and naturally, he could have gotten closer to the Young Sect Master. If he performed outstandingly, perhaps he would even have received Zhuge Qing's favor.

Even if he couldn't win the beauty over, at least his status within the sect would have improved in the future. But Zhang Nuo's appearance had completely disrupted his previous plans.

On this day, the group from the Nanxuan Sect was flying at full speed when suddenly, patches of light rose from the ground ahead. It looked as if someone was using a Magic Treasure to attack.

Yu Lei, who was flying at the very front, suddenly stopped his movement and waved his hand, signaling those behind to stop as well. Zhuge Qing flashed with light and arrived at his side.

"What is happening ahead?"

"It seems like a group of cultivators is exterminating a demonic beast!"

Squinting his eyes, Yu Lei tried his best to probe everything ahead with his Divine Sense.

"Looking at the Spirit Power fluctuations ahead, the level of the demonic beast they are slaying shouldn't be low. Should we go over and join in the fun?"

As she spoke, a strange smile appeared on Zhuge Qing's pretty face. Upon seeing this, Yu Lei understood and gave a similarly eerie smile.

"Good! Let's go take a look!"

After saying this, he was the first to fly toward the target. Afterward, Zhuge Qing and the others followed one after another. Before long, the entire group from the Nanxuan Sect was hovering above the site of the battle.

At this moment, Zhang Nuo also looked down and saw that on a patch of open ground, nine cultivators were each driving their Magic Treasures, fighting a huge demonic beast.

When their gazes fell upon the demonic beast, everyone gasped in shock. This demonic beast was over two zhang long, covered from head to toe in golden fur, and from afar, it looked like a giant golden ape!

However, what surprised everyone the most was the powerful Spiritual Pressure radiating from this golden ape. Zhang Nuo's preliminary judgment was that this demonic beast was at least a Four-tier existence!

A Four-tier demonic beast! That was equivalent to the cultivation of a human at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage. However, judging by the current situation, the power displayed by this giant golden ape far exceeded the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, and it was likely that one foot had already stepped into the Golden Core stage!

"No wonder the nine of them are fighting so hard! This demonic beast is just too powerful!"

Yu Lei watched the scene below coldly and said to Zhuge Qing beside him.

"This is a Golden-Haired Sacred Ape, a type of ape-like demonic beast. Its intelligence is the highest among demonic beasts of the same tier. With the strength of those nine, it won't be easy for them to kill it!"

After Zhuge Qing swept her Divine Sense over the nine cultivators below, she sighed and shook her head.

Of the nine people below, four were at the Foundation Establishment Mid-stage, while the rest were at the Foundation Establishment Early Stage. If it weren't for their agile movement techniques, they would have long since been no match for the 'Golden-Haired Sacred Ape'!

"Cultivators from the Wuji Sect!"

As soon as Yu Lei saw the movement techniques the other side was using, he immediately knew which sect they belonged to. He turned his head and said to Zhuge Qing:

"When should we make our move?"

"No rush, let's watch a bit longer!"

This Young Sect Master was quite composed, hovering quietly in mid-air and saying thoughtfully.

At this moment, the Wuji Sect cultivators fighting the 'Golden-Haired Sacred Ape' below also discovered the Nanxuan Sect group that had suddenly appeared in mid-air.

One of the cultivators, who looked to be twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, moved his body, flashed out of the battle, and looked up at the sky. Although this person was not old, his long hair was incredibly pale, and his eyes were full of anger.

They had been entangled with this demonic ape for a full half-hour but had been unable to slay it. Just as they were feeling anxious, the Nanxuan Sect group appeared.

The situation was now very clear: this group from the Nanxuan Sect wanted to reap the benefits of the struggle. If the Wuji Sect people killed the 'Golden-Haired Sacred Ape', they would immediately launch a lethal attack on the Wuji Sect people.

How could the exhausted Wuji Sect cultivators be a match for these Nanxuan Sect cultivators? The white-haired man took a deep breath, the anger on his face intensifying, and he cursed inwardly:

"Zhuge Qing! You snake-hearted woman! Too insidious!"

At the same time, Zhuge Qing in mid-air also saw the white-haired man who had jumped out of the battle circle, and a faint, cold smile appeared on her pretty face.

Just then, a loud boom suddenly rang out, and a Wuji Sect cultivator was swatted away by a single blow from the Golden-Haired Sacred Ape's long-haired hand. The sound of bones breaking in the body could be heard clearly even by the other cultivators nearby!

When the white-haired man turned his head to look, his expression changed abruptly. He moved his body and arrived beside the struck cultivator. One look was enough to make his heart turn cold; he saw a huge claw mark on the victim's chest, and amidst the bloody mess, white bones were protruding from the body. It was clear the person could not survive.

"Awoo!"

After killing one person, the Golden-Haired Sacred Ape let out a long howl toward the sky. All the fur on its body stood up in a shocking manner, and a massive Spiritual Pressure quickly enveloped the surrounding space. Its body leaped high in a strange way, and at the same time, it swiped its claws forcefully toward the white-haired man!

"Senior Brother Han, watch out!"

At this moment, a Wuji Sect disciple saw that the situation was bad and immediately shouted a warning. The white-haired man surnamed Han did not move; murderous intent suddenly rose on his face. After a low roar, ten thousand rays of golden light suddenly erupted from his body.

These golden light rays condensed above his head and actually transformed into a golden fist that was a zhang in size. With a loud boom, the golden fist collided with the giant ape's claws.

"It's the Wuji Sect's Heavenly Dipper Body-Strengthening Art!"

Seeing this scene, Zhuge Qing could not help but exclaim out loud!
