Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
Watching the body of Qing Yi fall, Yao Sheng, Wan Xin Saint, and Ya She Saint were all terrified.
Sword warriors were the most powerful among those at the same level.
However, Qing Yi Saint, who had the potential to become a sword saint, was killed with one strike by Zhang Ruochen. How could people not be scared?”
“Zang Ruochen has completed Sword Six. Perhaps he will complete Sword Seven soon and become the new generation of sword saints.”
“I heard the Abyss Sword that Zhang Ruochen has was made of the same materials that were used to make Empress’s Divine Blood Sword. I thought it was only a legend, but now it seems that it’s possible.’
“Abyss Sword is sharper than what I heard. It could cut a thousand-patterns saint weapon in half with one strike. It’s invincible.”
Zhang Ruochen was able to kill Qing Yi Saint with one strike. The power Zhang Ruochen demonstrated was like that of a white-caped sword saint.
Abyss Ancient Sword refined the thousand-patterns saint sword Qing Yi Saint had, and the sword started to glow.
It flew back to Zhang Ruochen and floated above him, showing tens of thousands of sword shadows.
Yao Sheng, Wan Xin Saint, and Ya She Saint all stared at Abyss Ancient Sword, held by Zhang Ruochen.
They also thought that Zhang Ruochen was able to kill Qing Yi Saint only because of his Abyss Sword. Otherwise, Qing Yi would’ve been perfectly capable of resisting his attack.
“Abyss Sword has got to be a divine weapon. It can not only break thousand-patterns saint weapons, but also refine them to improve its level. We must seize it and give it to the Blood Emperor.”
Wan Xin Saint didn’t take any actions as he didn’t want to be killed like Kong Yu Saint and Qing Yi Saint.
Wan Xin Saint looked to the Death Knight and Ya She Saint, wis.h.i.+ng that they had made attacks first.
Both Death Knight and Ya She Saint were way more powerful than upper-cla.s.s saints. Either of them were able to completely suppress Zhang Ruochen.
Ya She Saint stepped forward, holding the bronze compa.s.s, and said, “Time and s.p.a.ce Descendant, I have to admit I’ve underestimated you, in that you could kill Kong Yu Saint and Qing Yi Saint so easily. But from now on, you won’t stand a chance anymore.”
Hua.
Ya She Saint triggered the compa.s.s with his mind power, and a blood-red light pillar was shot out from the center of the compa.s.s.
It was condensed by mind power, which was designed to attack the mind power and saint souls of monks. Ordinary defense skills weren’t able to ward it off.
Zhang Ruochen performed spatial move again and arrived right above Ya She Saint, and he stabbed him.
Black sword light gushed out of the sword.
Ya She Saint wasn’t anxious. He looked disdainful and moved his left foot.
The Death Knight who was wearing Ten Saints Blood Armor showed up behind Ya She Saint, wielding his long spear.
It was his long spear clas.h.i.+ng with Zhang Ruochen’s sword.
Chi Chi.
The energies released from the clash of the two forces trembled the s.p.a.ce around them.
Zhang Ruochen was knocked away, hitting a six-level building before falling on the ground.
“How powerful.”
Zhang Ruochen supported himself with one hand and held his sword with the other, staring at the Death Knight, who was near him.
The Death Knight said with a cold voice, “If I wasn’t severely injured, I would’ve killed you.”
Yao Sheng showed up beside Zhang Ruochen and said, “I was also wounded badly before coming to Taiyin Ancient City, otherwise, you wouldn’t have suppressed me just now.” Wan Xin Saint went to Zhang Ruochen’s back. He put one hand above the other, and gleaming light emerged from his index fingers.
Ya She Saint trampled the ground, showing up on Zhang Ruochen’s right.
Ya She Saint’s bronze compa.s.s flew up and spun, turning large like a dustpan. It kept spinning at the center of the compa.s.s, breeding a cl.u.s.ter of crimson energies.
Zhang Ruochen was completely encircled and there was nowhere for him to escape.
“Zhang Ruochen, it’s impressive of you to kill Kong Yu Saint and Qing Yi Saint, but this ends now. You won’t stand a chance from now on,” Ya She Saint said.
Zhang Ruochen stood straight and smiled. “If I want to leave, you won’t be able to stop me.”
“You want to escape using the power of s.p.a.ce? I can tell you with absolute certainty that you won’t be able to do that today.”
The Death Knight raised his blood-red spear and stuck it to the ground. He yelled, “Light of Death.”
A red-blood halo with a diameter of one hundred miles emerged, surrounding the entire Taigu Ancient City, and it also froze the s.p.a.ce, preventing Zhang Ruochen from fleeing using spatial move.
“Do you really think you can run now?”
The Death Knight’s voice was cold and repressive. He thought that he had won this battle.
Zhang Ruochen tried to mobilize the power of s.p.a.ce to perform spatial move, yet he found that the s.p.a.ce around him was solidified.
However, Zhang Ruochen didn’t panic. He smiled. “The skills of the Immortal Temple are indeed extraordinary, but do you really think s.p.a.ce power is the only thing I’ve got?”
“It doesn’t matter what you have. You will die for sure today,” Ya She Saint said.
Zhang Ruochen knew that even with Dragon Spirit Mad Bull Wine, he was still way weaker than the Death Knight and Ya She Saint, which meant there was no need to confront them.
He had already killed two upper-cla.s.s saints, which was a huge success for him.
“Really?”
Zhang Ruochen reached into his cape and took out a rune scroll. He said, “You’re the silver-caped elder from the Immortal Temple, then you must have extensive knowledge. You do recognize this rune scroll, don’t you?”
Ya She Saint gazed at the rune scroll and observed it. Quickly, he recognized it and said, “One, two, three, four… Fifth Town Destructive Sacred Rune. Quick! Retreat!”
Ya She Saint couldn’t be more terrified. He immediately ran away until he’d left Taiyin Ancient City.
Yao Sheng and Wan Xin Saint also knew how powerful fifth town destructive sacred runes could be, so they also rushed out of Taiyin Ancient City.
Only the Death Knight still stood on the ground and said, “I don’t believe you’re going to use the fifth town destructive sacred rune, unless you want to kill all the human monks in Taiyin Ancient City.”
Fifth Town Destructive Sacred Runes did have a tremendous amount of power, which could kill saints. However, if Zhang Ruochen used it now, he might annihilate all the human monks in the city.
Which was why the Death Knight wasn’t intimidated by the fifth town destructive sacred rune.
Qing Feng Saint was alarmed. He was afraid that Zhang Ruochen might actually use the fifth town destructive sacred rune, which might take all the hundreds of thousands of human monks down with the Death Knight.
“Zhang Ruochen, please don’t use the fifth town destructive sacred run! The prominent beings from Yin and Yang Sect will be here very soon, after which those immortal vampire saints will also be dead,” Qing Feng Saint said.
Zhang Ruochen shook his head and sighed. He had planned to use the fifth town saint repression rune to scare the immortal vampire saints, but it seemed that he couldn’t use it now.
He still had to fight.
Zhang Ruochen put back his fifth town saint repression rune and said, “Okay! I won’t use the rune.”
After learning that Zhang Ruochen didn’t dare use the rune in Taiyin Ancient City, Ya She Saint, Yao Sheng and Wan Xin Saint all came back to the city.
“Even if you have the fifth town saint repression rune, you’re a dead man,” the female body of Yao Sheng sneered.
“Why’re you pus.h.i.+ng me?” Zhang Ruochen asked.
“So what? Do you dare use your fifth town saint repression rune?” Wan Xin Saint thought that he had known the weakness of Zhang Ruochen and guffawed.
Zhang Ruochen stopped talking to them. He raised his head and looked to the sky.
“What’s he looking at?”
The immortal vampire saints and the monks in Taiyin Ancient City all looked up. They saw dark clouds showing up in the sky above Taiyin Ancient City, blocking the stars and the moon.
The lightning clouds got thicker and thicker, and the forces only became stronger.
Hua La.
The bolts of lightning that were as thick as buckets came out, trembling Taiyin Ancient City.
“I’m going to pa.s.s the third pre-saint trial, and all the pre-saints and saints will be targeted. Are you going to run away now?”
Even if he was going to pa.s.s the trial, Zhang Ruochen still looked calm.
n.o.body could expect that Zhang Ruochen was going to pa.s.s the life and death trial now.
Was he being suicidal?
“What a maniac…”
Yao Sheng clenched his teeth hard and stared at the Death Knight. He wanted to know what decision he would make.
“Zhang Ruochen wants the advantage back. If we leave Taiyin Ancient City, he’ll definitely use his fifth town saint repression rune. The only thing we can do is kill Zhang Ruochen before the lightning trial arrives.”
The Death Knight looked determined. He trampled the ground with his right foot and rushed out like an arrow. He tried to pierce Zhang Ruochen’s chest with his spear.
Zhang Ruochen mobilized the holy Qi inside his body, infusing it into Abyss Ancient Sword. Three thousand inscriptions emerged.
Hong Long.
Destructive sword Qi gushed out toward the Death Knight.
The Death Knight had been severely injured, yet Zhang Ruochen had the extra strength from Dragon Star Mad Bull Wine, so he could actually rival the Death Knight.
The Death Knight didn’t manage to kill Zhang Ruochen. Lightning fell from the trial clouds, hitting not just Zhang Ruochen, but also other pre-saints and saints in Taiyin Ancient City.
“Get out of Taiyin Ancient City now, otherwise we’ll all be dead.”
Wan Xin Saint couldn’t laugh anymore. After warding off the first lightning, he tried to fly out of the city.
“Too late!”
Zhang Ruochened looked dynamic among the trial clouds, and he caught up with Wan Xin Saint quickly.
