Chapter 1669: Duel of Two Spatial Manipulators
A dozen Ten-thousand-pattern Saint Weapons burst with complete power and the two red angels who were already hurt spat out blood from the attacks. The four wings that they used as defense were battered and b.l.o.o.d.y.
After the recovery period earlier, Feng Jian’s broken arms were reconnected, but he was attacked by his side again. He felt very annoyed and yelled, “Cang Qing, what are you doing?”
The dozen Heaven Field beings outside the spatial maze were covered in sweat. They tried their hardest to control the Ten-thousand-pattern Saint Weapons, but they were still late. The ten beheaded Saint Kings had already gotten killed because of them and they’d committed a horrible crime.
The Saint King named Cang Qing hurriedly explained, “This area is very strange. The s.p.a.ce is distorted. We can’t control how our weapons fly.”
“A spatial formation. It definitely is a spatial formation.”
“Everyone, attack with all your might to shatter the formation.”
…
The dozen Heaven Field Saint Kings tried their hardest to stimulate the Ten-thousand-pattern Saint Weapons. Swords, paG.o.das, tripods… They all crashed toward the formation. A large ma.s.s of complete power burst forth at every moment.
But most of this power landed on Qiong Lin, Feng Jian, and the others.
One four-winged red angel was extremely pale. “Save me,” he begged Qiong Lin. “I…can’t keep going…”
A s.h.i.+mmering white rune hovered above Qiong Lin’s head. The white light was like a lotus that blocked all attacks for him. Hearing the cry for help, Qiong Lin walked toward that four-winged red angel and dragged him into the proximity of the white lotus.
“You two hurry over too,” Qiong Lin said. “If the four of us are together, then we can protect ourselves even in this chaotic s.p.a.ce.”
Feng Jian was about to walk toward the white lotus when a pained cry sounded beside him.
Around ten steps away from him, another four-winged red angel stepped into a spatial trap and was torn apart instantly, dying on the spot.
Feng Jian trembled, growing hesitant.
“It’s best not to walk around. What if I step into a spatial whirlpool too?”
Feng Jian stared at the human scholar with fear deep in his eyes.
Before, he only knew that the Ancient Ways were irresistible, but he rarely encountered cultivators of the same generation that could cultivate an Ancient Way to this level. This clash hurt him psychologically.
After mistakenly killing ten Saint Kings, Feng Jian didn’t dare to step forward.
His arms and legs were all restricted. No matter how strong his cultivation was, what use was it?
In the future, I must prepare one or two trump cards that can counter spatial power.” As the leader of a large world, Feng Jian felt very annoyed.
Growing cautious, he looked forward.
He saw that there was a broad sword in the human scholar’s hands now. A layer of Sword Way Xuangang appeared on the blade. The sword was brought down and a beam of Xuangang flew toward him.
Sword Way Xuangang was known to have indestructible attack power and could even penetrate mid-level spells.
“You’re finally attacking me. Unfortunately, your attainment in the Sword Way isn’t bad, but your own cultivation is still really low.” Feng Jian himself was a top Sword Way genius, so he didn’t fear any sword attacks.
The Sword Way Xuangang was only three feet long. It couldn’t be compared to the length of his own. From this, it was evident that the other’s cultivation wasn’t very high.
They both had complete Sword Eights. The higher your cultivation was, the longer the Sword Way Xuangang.
When that short Sword Way Xuangang was ten steps from Feng Jian, it suddenly disappeared from the spot. When it reappeared, it was already one step away.
Feng Jian didn’t panic. He’d already guessed that something like this would happen. He pointed forward quickly.
Whoos.h.!.+
Light shot out of his fingertip and shattered the Sword Way Xuangang precisely.
Feng Jian also used Sword Way Xuangang.
Suddenly, his expression faltered. He raised his head and looked up.
A millstone-sized metal hat appeared above his head, forming a powerful demonic cloud. The might that radiated from the cloud even made his saint soul tremble. It felt like a Supreme Saint was standing above him.
He finally realized that the human scholar had sent out the Sword Way Xuangang to distract him. This metal hat was their true fatal kill.
“Oh no… Am I going to die here… I can’t take this. With my talent, I can become a powerful Supreme Saint even if I can’t become a G.o.d…”
Crackle.
The s.p.a.ce trembled, forming rings of ripples.
Then two handsome figures walked out of thin air. One of them wore a pure white robe and was tall and attractive. It was Gong Ziyan, the leader of the s.p.a.ce G.o.dly Palace.
The other person had tricolored armor and silver-white hair. He was beautiful, like a G.o.d of the mortal world. It was Shang Ziyan, the leader of the Merits G.o.dly Palace.
The two palace leaders’ arrival caused a storm. It meant that this case would reach a new level.
Shang Ziyan looked at the blood and corpses in the spatial maze. Despite his upbringing, a dark look still flashed past his eyes. Then his gaze fell on the human scholar in the maze.
Seeing Shang Ziyan and Gong Ziyan arrive, Feng Jian was overjoyed. He hurriedly activated all his hidden cards. Ten-thousand-pattern Saint Weapons, protective runes, protective patterns… All of this was unleashed to block the metal hat.
If he could block the hat for a moment, Shang Ziyan and Gong Ziyan would definitely be able to crush these two mysterious beasts.
“Twisted this s.p.a.ce and set up a spatial formation. Ha, interesting. Unfortunately, your attainment in s.p.a.ce is still too shallow.”
Gong Ziyan put his hands forward and spatial rules poured out. “Return,” he uttered.
The interchanged s.p.a.ce instantly smoothed and went back to normal.
Zhang Ruochen and Xiang Chunan released Holy Qi with all their might, activating a beam of Absolute Saint power of the hat. There were booms instantly. The weapons and defensive runes above Feng Jian’s head kept exploding. Only the defensive patterns still shone with divine light and were holding up.
“Oh G.o.d, an Absolute Saint Weapon… Lord Ziyan, save me…”
Sensing the Absolute Saint power, even Feng Jian couldn’t remain composed anymore. His face had horror written all over it.
Countless beings present were stunned. They never thought that this scholar and martial artist could be so terrifying. They even had an Absolute Saint weapon. No wonder they were fearless.
“Who gave you this courage? Are you trying to kill a world’s leader?”
Gong Ziyan reached out again and held a loose fist. The s.p.a.ce trembled instantly. He wanted to use Spatial Move to save Feng Jian.
Zhang Ruochen narrowed his eyes. Spatial rules flowed out of his Sea of Qi and gathered at his fingertip.
Poof.
He stabbed his finger forward and a huge spatial crack flew out. It precisely cut the spatial connection between Gong Ziyan and Feng Jian.
“You can do this? I underestimated you.” Gong Ziyan spoke calmly, but he was shocked inside.
What he was shocked about wasn’t that Zhang Ruochen could cut off his Spatial Move. After all, Gong Ziyan wasn’t completely skilled at the technique yet.
What shocked him was that this human scholar could precisely calculate the spatial connection path between him and Feng Jian. This was very powerful.
Poof!
Following a pained cry, the power from the metal hat tore apart Feng Jian’s divine patterns and broke him into pieces.
A world’s leader had died. His saint bones were pulverized and his blood spattered everywhere.
Boom!
The ground under Feng Jian caved in. Absolute Saint power spread out, making all the cultivators retreat in fright.
Only Gong Ziyan and Shang Ziyan unleashed strong abilities and actually broke through the Absolute Saint power. They streaked toward Zhang Ruochen and Xiang Chunan.
Since they dared to kill a leader of the Heaven Field clique before their eyes, then they’d insulted them before everyone.
“Let’s go.”
Zhang Ruochen pulled Xiang Chunan into the spatial transfer formation that he’d set up beforehand.
“It’s not that easy to escape.”
Shang Ziyan’s eyes were cold. Murderous intent spilled out. He took off a red feather from his head with two slender fingers and sent it out.
Squawk!
The feather burned up and transformed into a huge bird monster, bursting with terrifying power ripples. Those ripples were even mightier than Qiong Lin’s battle might and were probably comparable to a ninth step saint King.
“That weird fire bird can probably rip us apart with one claw. Who is that guy? So scary.”
Even Xiang Chunan’s expression changed drastically.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t expect Shang Ziyan to be so frighteningly strong either. He didn’t fight personally. He just sent out a feather and was like a pinnacle eight step or a ninth step Saint King. This wasn’t a level he could counter.
Zhang Ruochen was worried that the spatial transfer formation would get broken by the strange fire bird before it could run completely, so he sent out a dozen Ten-thousand-pattern Saint Weapons at the bird.
At the same time, he lifted his hands and released spatial rules.
Kaboom!
The remaining five spatial traps underground were all activated. They formed five spatial crack whirlpools that grouped together into a huge whirlpool. It swept through the sky and crashed toward Shang Ziyan and Gong Ziyan.
The fire bird’s feathers shook and sent Zhang Ruochen’s weapons all flying out.
On the other end, Gong Ziyan said softly, “Condense.”
Spatial condensation power burst out. Then the terrifying spatial crack whirlpool started shrinking. By the time it reached Gong Ziyan, it had disappeared completely.
Whoos.h.!.+
Taking advantage of this instant, the spatial transfer formation shone with blinding white light. Zhang Ruochen and Xiang Chunan vanished.
Gong Ziyan walked to the formation’s edge and said with some disdain, “Ignorant. You want to escape with a spatial transfer formation? Let me see where you transferred to.”
Crack!
Just as Gong Ziyan was about to investigate, a crack sounded.
The small formation before him actually cracked apart and collapsed. Soon, there was a huge ditch.
“He actually…set up a one-time formation. How dare he? Don’t let me see you again.” Gong Ziyan clenched his fists and his eyes darkened.
It was his first time meeting such a troublesome spatial cultivator of the same generation. As a spatial manipulator, he didn’t have any advantage in this fight.
