Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
“Stop.”
Cang Lan Martial Saint couldn’t keep nursing her wounds anymore. A powerful holy Qi storm gushed out of her body, and thousands of sword Qi condensed, surrounding her.
Miefeng Blood Saint wasn’t scared. Instead, he smiled.
Cang Lan Martial Saint wasn’t an impulsive person, but she had no other choice. She couldn’t just let the four female saints be insulted while she stood by in the Taoist temple to survive.
If she did so, her state of mind would be permanently damaged even after she recovered.
Cang Lan Martial Saint didn’t have any other choice. She had to rush out to fight the immortal vampires even though she knew it was a trap.
Shua!
Cang Lan Martial Saint moved her body, and she rushed toward where the four female saints were.
She remembered the correct route to walk out of the formation. She walked out with ease.
Even Qing Mo could tell that Cang Lan Martial Saint was no match for those immortal vampires, and that she was walking toward certain death.
Qing Mo didn’t have the heart to see Cang Lan Martial Saint die. She begged, “Please, my lord, help them! I know you’re not stone-cold.”
Liu Li Female Saint and Yuansu Female Saint also stopped dressing their wounds. They also looked to Zhang Ruochen as if he were their only hope.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t know how to react. Even at his prime, he couldn’t rival a heaven pa.s.s blood general, not to mention now.
They put their hopes in someone who had been severely injured?
Zhang Ruochen sighed. In the end, he couldn’t handle their look, and he took a step forward and tried to reach Cang Lan Martial Saint.
The s.p.a.ce twisted, and Cang Lan Martial Saint, who had almost walked out of the s.p.a.ce formation, was pulled back to the Taoist temple as if she’d been grabbed back by Zhang Ruochen.
With Zhang Ruochen’s mind power and comprehension on s.p.a.ce rules, it would be difficult for saints to notice s.p.a.ce ripples even if he performed s.p.a.ce skills. They didn’t know he was performing s.p.a.ce power.
Cang Lan felt as if she had fallen into a whirlpool, and after being spun for a while, she was dragged back to the Taoist temple. She knew that it came from the sick young man, so she was very surprised.
Cang Lan Martial Saint had met some mind power saints before, but this was the first time she’d met someone who had such weird skills.
Liu Li Female Saint and Yuansu Female Saint were both startled too, as what Zhang Ruochen had demonstrated was miraculous. He pulled Cang Lan Martial Saint back through the s.p.a.ce. Cang Lan Martial Saint was the leader of the Nine Heavenly Maidens.
Zhang Ruochen took a look at Cang Lan Martial Saint, seeing that her eyes were filled with surprise. He said, “Even if you want to die, you don’t need to rush it. I’ll talk to them myself. Violence isn’t necessary, as there might be other ways to ease the tension.”
Other human monks that Cang Lan Martial Saint had met before either ingratiated themselves to her or feared her. Some of them didn’t even dare look at her because of their self-abas.e.m.e.nt.
The man standing in front of her looked calm and without emotions, but Cang Lan Martial Saint could feel that he was distaining, and even blaming her.
Cang Lan Martial Saint set herself high above the ma.s.ses. Aside from the Empress, n.o.body talked to her in that tone.
She said with coldness, “Those immortal vampires want to eat your flesh and drink all your blood. How will they be willing to negotiate with you?”
“You can’t say for sure.”
Zhang Ruochen walked out of the Taoist temple with his hands behind his back. He stared at the blood saints and said, “Do you want to make a deal?”
Cang Lan Martial Saint was a proud heavenly maiden, so she didn’t want Zhang Ruochen to steal her thunder. She was conflicted, as she hoped Zhang Ruochen could save all four female saints, but this would mean she was useless.
At this moment, she was curious as to how Zhang Ruochen was going to negotiate with the immortal vampires.
Miefeng Blood Saint sneered and said, “Who are you to negotiate with us?”
“Someone who would be willing to.”
Zhang Ruochen shook his head and looked to Zhu Qingyi. He pointed at the two blood saints trapped in the s.p.a.ce formation and said, “Ms. Zhu, one of the blood saints, is at pinnacle Xuanhuang Realm level, and the other is at Absolute ground level. I’ll trade these two for the four female saints you have. What do you think?”
It was difficult for any power to cultivate a saint.
Especially for saints at Xuanhuang realm and Absolute Ground level, one of their deaths would be a great deal, even for Qingtian Tribe.
Zhu Qingyi didn’t expect Zhang Ruochen to threaten her with the lives of the two blood saints. She said coldly, “I suggest that you don’t meddle in this, otherwise, you’re bringing trouble to yourself.”
Zhang Ruochen frowned and waved his arm, wielding an electric blade, slas.h.i.+ng the saint at pinnacle Xuanhuang Realm, chopping off his legs.
The power of lightning went into his body, hurting the blood saint at pinnacle Xuanhuang realm so much that he rolled on the ground, screaming in agony.
All the blood saints were infuriated.
“Do you think you’re the only one with hostages?”
Miefeng Blood Saint picked up a female saint sitting on the ground. He grabbed her waist with one hand and her right arm with the other, pulling them at the same time.
Ci La.
One of the arms of the female saint was ripped off with her armor. Saint blood was spilled everywhere.
The scene was extremely b.l.o.o.d.y, and the face of that female saint twisted because of the pain. She twitched on the ground, crying and yelling.
However, the blood saints all noticed that Zhang Ruochen wasn’t bothered by that at all, as if he didn’t care about the life of that female saint.
Pu Chi!
Zhang Ruochen still looked nonchalant. He waved his arm, and a lightning thorn flew out, piercing through the head of that blood saint at pinnacle Xuanhuang realm, killing him.
All four Tongtian blood generals were dazed.
They didn’t expect Zhang Ruochen to be so reckless.
“How… How dare you…”
Zhu Qingyi couldn’t be angrier. She didn’t expect that mind power saint to be this decisive.
Zhang Ruochen said, “I still have one more blood saint at Absolute Ground Realm with me. Do you still want to negotiate with me or not?”
“I will.” Zhu Qingyi tried to suppress her urge to kill and said, “But I won’t trade four female saints with one blood saint. I’ll only give you one.”
Cang Lan Martial Saint didn’t expect Zhang Ruochen to force the immortal vampires to compromise. She walked to Zhang Ruochen, stood beside him and said, “No. You must give us four. The life of an Absolute Ground blood saint is much more precious than those of Xuanhuang saints and upper-cla.s.s saints.”
“You’re pus.h.i.+ng too far. Do you really think you have such a say at the moment?” Zhu Qingyi sneered.
Zhang Ruochen said, “Then one for two.”
Cang Lan Martial Saint’s beautiful eyes popped. She transmitted her voice to Zhang Ruochen, “Even if we save two female saints, we’re still largely outnumbered by them. There’s nothing we can do to change that.”
Zhang Ruochen didn’t respond to her. Instead, he stared at Zhu Qingyi and waited for her response.
Zhu Qingyi eased the tension on her face, smiled seductively. “Okay.”
Zhu Qingyi walked to Miefeng Blood Saint and talked to him.
They came from different tribes and stood for different interests. Zhu Qingyi might’ve promised Miefeng Blood Saint some benefits to convince Miefeng Blood Saint to give her two female saints.
Zhu Qingyi said, “Now, you can let the blood saint go.”
Zhang Ruochen said, “Let those two saints enter the formation. I’ll bring the blood saint out after they’re safe.”
Zhu Qingyi sneered. “Do you think I’m an idiot? What if you refuse to let the blood saint go after those two female saints are safe?”
“This is indeed a problem. How about this? I’ll walk out of the formation and take them back, then I’ll let that blood saint out. After the whole transfer, I’ll go back to the formation. Will that be more okay for you?” Zhang Ruochen said.
Not only did the blood saints look confused, but Cang Lan Martial Saint, Liu Li Female Saint, and Yuanshu Female Saint were all shocked as well. They didn’t expect him to take such a huge risk to save people.
Once he walked out of the formation, the saints from the immortal vampire race wouldn’t let him back into the formation that easily.
Cang Lan Martial Saint started to admire Zhang Ruochen now. Her eyes glinted, and she said, “I’ll come out with you.’
“No need. Follow me out, Qing Mo,” Zhang Ruochen said.
Qing Mo didn’t dare do that as she thought Zhang Ruochen was playing with fire. However, when she saw how tranquil Zhang Ruochen was, she got more confidence as she had never seen Zhang Ruochen do anything he wasn’t sure of.
Did Zhang Ruochen have some other plans?
Zhang Ruochen walked out of the formation with Qing Mo, and they walked toward the Taoist temple. He told Qing Mo something as they walked forward.
Qing Mo’s eyes immediately gleamed after hearing what Zhang Ruochen said. All of the fear on her face disappeared.
Cang Lang Martial Saint ground her teeth due to anger after seeing Zhang Ruochen and Qing Mo leave. She reckoned that this guy was totally looking down at her, as he was more willing to take a small girl instead of her.
She was the leader of the nine heavenly maidens, and she had never been underestimated before.
Meanwhile, the immortal vampire saints also transmitted voices to each other, talking about ways to catch Zhang Ruochen.
