Chapter 1547: Light Way

Boom!
Nine overbearing dragon shadows dragged the carriage, and two layers of saint power ripples permeated. As the carriage moved forward, its saint might became stronger.
Even King Hun, who was standing at the center of the purple formation, found it hard to balance himself.
King Hun’s purple veil was lifted, showing a handsome face with green eyebrows and glinting eyes. He smiled. “Great carriage. Unfortunately, you’re not strong enough to wield its real power. Second Yao Complete Power can’t hurt me at all.”
“Dark.”
“Limit.”
“Hard.”
“Horrow.”
King Hun mumbled four words.
And then, he grabbed the white bone saint scepter, and his mind power gushed out like a storm.
The purple formation under his feet was rolled like a piece of paper, crus.h.i.+ng toward the Golden Dragon Carriage. Suddenly, the carriage was slowed down while shaking fiercely.
“That person’s mind power is probably at level fifty-six now.”
Zhang Ruochen stood at the front of the carriage, holding his Buddha sarira, and he felt intimidated.
Zhang Ruochen couldn’t figure out who would ask someone so powerful to kill him.
However, King Hun was obviously using most of his mind power to operate the purple formation which could cover the fact that he was trying to kill Zhang Ruochen and the others here.
Which was why his attack power was discounted.
Wen Shusheng knew King Hun’s power very well. He said with his face paled, “Even if we team up, he can annihilate us in a second. Let’s just get out of the purple formation first.”
“Do you really think you can survive me? A bunch of kids who haven’t even become saint kings yet?” King Hun smiled gloomily.
Each inscription on the purple formation had destructive power.
Zhang Ruochen looked up, and all he could see was purple light. The sky was covered by lightning. Even Wen Shusheng, Ling Mi, and Su Qingling felt desperate.
“Break.” Zhang Ruochen mobilized the s.p.a.ce power and pointed at the sky. The s.p.a.ce around his finger shook fiercely, which cracked the s.p.a.ce and clashed with the purple formation.
Boom!
The purple formation crumbled at the next moment, and the Golden Dragon Carriage rushed out of the purple mist.
The formation was still intact on the ground.
King Hun was standing at the center of the formation and said, “He managed to get out. No wonder he’s the Time and s.p.a.ce Descendant.”
Before the Golden Dragon Carriage got far, the ground rose, following a rumbling sound. Soon, the mountains that looked like bamboo shoots stopped the Golden Dragon Carriage from running forward.
“Other great beings?”
Everyone in the Golden Dragon Carriage was in despair.
There was a woman in white on each of the two stone mountains. They were both wearing golden masks, and their saintly way ripples were both at saint king level.
Although he hadn’t fought them yet, Zhang Ruochen could feel the dangers coming out of them. Each of them was at least as powerful as Sword Saint Jiuyou.
They were Tian Shu and Tian Miao, who followed Shang Ziyan.
They were definitely extraordinary, as they could follow the young leader from Merits G.o.dly Palace. They at least had the talent and body const.i.tution like Su Qingling and Ling Mi. Being able to fight those one level superior to them was the basic requirement.
w.a.n.g Xu walked out of the two stone mountains and smiled. “King Hun, you’ve been practicing for so many years, yet you still have a hard time taking down a half-step saint king. Even I feel ashamed for you.”
w.a.n.g Xu was also wearing a mask.
“I’ve underestimated him. He’s someone who’s ranked in first place on the ‘Saints Merits Rank,’ not someone I can slaughter like a cat,” King Hun said.
w.a.n.g Xu could tell that King Hun was smearing him as well.
After all, he was only ranked seventh place on the ‘Saints Merits Rank’.
w.a.n.g Xu said, “The ‘Saints Merits Rank’ is based on merits, not power. Those who have more merits don’t necessarily have stronger power. Those who focus on practicing don’t bother with the rank. There’re many great beings who rarely go to the battlefield to collect merits.”
Zhang Ruochen looked at the man in front of him. It seemed he was also on the ‘Saints Merits Rank’.
They’re wearing masks when they want to kill someone. They must have some solid backgrounds. Perhaps they’re worried they might be punished by the heavenly rules if they fail, Zhang Ruochen thought.
“Why don’t you let me test Zhang Ruochen’s power before you kill them.” w.a.n.g Xu smiled.
Zhang Ruochen said, “There’s going to be a huge price to pay if you want to test my power.”
“Really? I’ll have a try.”
w.a.n.g Xu’s body started to dim.
w.a.n.g Xu had wielded the blade against Zhang Ruochen’s neck, horrifically fast.
“Light Way.” Zhang Ruochen felt intimidated.
Light Way was one of the seventy-two Supreme Saintly Ways. It was said that if a monk managed to practice it to the perfect level, he could be as fast as light, after which even s.p.a.ce and time would find it difficult to suppress him. It was the strongest speed type saintly way.
Few monks were able to comprehend Light Way, but once one did, he could defeat almost everyone at the same level with one strike.
Speed was the most difficult to conquer among all the techniques.
Light Way was the fastest.
Zhang Ruochen remained alert. He immediately performed spatial move and dodged w.a.n.g Xu’s blade and pointed forward with his finger.
He didn’t use the Abyss Ancient Sword because it would only slow Zhang Ruochen down as he fought someone like w.a.n.g Xu.
Even if he was just slightly slower, he might be killed by w.a.n.g Xu.
Whoosh, Whoos.h.!.+
After seven moves…
Zhang Ruochen seized a chance to point at the blade, knocking w.a.n.g Xu away.
The whole fight lasted for half a breath’s time. Even Su Qingling and the others were only able to see some shadows. As for Mu Lingxi, she had great sight after getting the inheritance of the Ice and Fire Phoenix, yet she only managed to see how they tried to attack each other, and there was no way she could defend herself against any of those moves.
They all felt pretty let down after witnessing that.
They were all the best talents from Guanghan Field who took great pride in themselves. However, they might be killed by one strike from that masked man.
“Zhang Ruochen is able to take several moves from such an incredible person, and he managed to overpower him. He’s indeed the pride of Guanghan Field. It probably takes ten thousand years to have such a great being in Guanghan Field.”
“That masked man is definitely someone who’s ranked high on the ‘Saints Merits Rank’. Who can that be?”
“Less than ten on the ‘Saints Merits Rank’ can be that fast, and he is quite proficient in using blades. It’s easy to guess.” Wen Shusheng’s eyes glinted.
Zhang Ruochen and w.a.n.g Xu were still standing in the same spots as if they’d never moved.
w.a.n.g Xu twisted his arm and smiled. “You didn’t let me down. You can indeed rival me. However, that was only a trial.”
“I look forward to your real power,” Zhang Ruochen said.
After attaining Five Elements Chaotic Body and G.o.d’s Destiny, Zhang Ruochen was able to defeat everyone at the same level. Even Qiu Yu, who was deemed to be the top among his peers, couldn’t survive three of his moves.
However, w.a.n.g Xu was the first one at the same level who intimidated him.
Although Princess Luosha was also formidable, she had better cultivation than Zhang Ruochen, and she didn’t want him dead. When Zhang Ruochen was fighting her, he didn’t feel that it was dangerous at all.
The universe was boundless, and Heaven World had more than eight thousand fields. Those who were ranked among the top were all forces to be reckoned with.
w.a.n.g Xu smiled and said, “I’ve watched every clip of your fight in Zuling Field, and I’ve studied every single one of your moves. I know how to fight and what your trump cards are, but you know nothing about me.”
w.a.n.g Xu wasn’t an arrogant person. Instead, he thought highly of Zhang Ruochen, “You were only an absolute saint when you were in Zuling Field, which means you just became a half-step saint king. As for me, I’ve been a half-step saint king for three years. I have more saintly way rules in my body, so you can’t perform mid-level saint spells. This is my second advantage.”
Zhang Ruochen’s fighting spirit couldn’t be higher. He smiled and said, “So what?”
“You don’t understand. The fact that I talk about advantages means you can rival me. This is incredible!” w.a.n.g Xu said.
King Hun got a bit impatient. “Why are you talking so much with a dead man?”
w.a.n.g Xu shot King Hun a glare and said, “You don’t understand either. This is called showing my enemy respect. After all, it’s exhilarating to run into someone who can rival me. How do you want to die, Zhang Ruochen?”
