Chapter 2059: Crus.h.i.+ng the Emissary Vigilant


Above heaven stood a stalwart figure dressed in silvery armor, its body giving off a dazzling sacred light.


“Huh?”


Zhang Ruochen could not help but frown when he saw the Emissary Vigilant.


There were three pairs of white wings on his back. He was none other than the Emissary Vigilant, who had appeared in the Eastern Region previously.


“What a small world.”


There was a cold glint in Zhang Ruochen’s eyes.


People were afraid of the Emissaries Vigilant, but not him. After all, Emissaries Vigilant had to abide by the rules of heaven. They could not act however they wanted.


“Do you know what you are doing, Zhang Ruochen?”


The silver armored Emissary Vigilant spoke, his voice sounding like rolling thunder from the sky.


Zhang Ruochen was not intimidated. He appeared nonchalant. “I haven’t done anything wrong. Can you enlighten me what crime I have committed?”


“Humph! Engaging in fighting during the war of merit is already against the rules of heavens. Do you really think I will not unleash punishment upon you and kill you?” The silver armored Emissary Vigilant snapped.


“This thing you’re trying to pull here, it gets old. You should know in your heart that this will not work on me. Even if there was an infighting, it was Zhou Yu and Mosheng who started it. They wantonly attacked the Sect of the Blood G.o.d. Even if I kill them, it will be good and proper because it is out of self-defense.” Zhang Ruochen smirked.


When he was in Eastern Region last time, he knew what kind of person this Emissary Vigilant was. So Zhang Ruochen did not have to be courteous with him.


He even suspected that it was this Emissary Vigilant who was behind this attack by Zhou Yu and Mosheng. Just that no one had expected that Xue Lingxian would come out all of a sudden and subdued Zhou Yu and all other Darkdemon cultivators.


Under this circ.u.mstance, the Emissary Vigilant had no choice but to reveal himself lest Zhou Yu and Mosheng would be killed.


A bitter feeling rose within the silver-armored Emissary Vigilant when he heard what Zhang Ruochen said. How he wished he could unleash heavenly punishment and kill Zhang Ruochen.


But he did not dare to do this. Zhang Ruochen had Yueshen as his backer. If he did, and even though he was from Celestial Palace, he would surely earn the wrath of Yueshen.


Besides, his purpose of coming this time was to rescue Zhou Yu and Mosheng, to whom he must make sure nothing untoward would happen.


It was not too late to think of a way to deal with Zhang Ruochen after he rescued the two.


Many thoughts flashed through his mind. The silver- armored Emissary Vigilant fought back his anger. A ball of saint blood flew out of his body, descending from heaven and appearing as his avatar outside the Sect of the Blood G.o.d.


As much as it was just a saint-blood avatar, the aura emanating from it was extremely powerful. The sight of tens of thousands of sacred lights shooting up into the sky was absolutely amazing.


Anyone who could become an Emissary Vigilant was incredibly powerful. It was in a different league compared to Supreme Saints.


The avatar formed by saint blood could easily crush a Nine-Step Saint King.


The silver-armored Emissary Vigilant looked at Ling Jiu with his intimidating eyes, his voice condescending with a commanding tone. “Supreme Saint cultivators are not allowed on the Battlefield of Merit in Kunlun Realm. Xue Lingxian was a top-tier Supreme Saint during ancient times. Since he has appeared, I am duty bound to investigate the matter. You had better withdraw the enchantment, Zhang Ruochen.”


Zhang Ruochen’s heart skipped a beat. The Emissary Vigilant had come to Kunlun Realm and deliberately sent down his avatar of saint blood with heavenly rules in his hands. Now Zhang Ruochen was in a pickle, as he was unsure if he should refuse the Emissary Vigilant’s request.


Zhang Ruochen spontaneously injected saint Qi into the Blood G.o.d Altar with this thought in mind. The blood Qi shrouding the Sect of the Blood G.o.d surged, and an opening appeared.


When the silver-armored Emissary Vigilant saw this, he immediately slipped into the Sect of the Blood G.o.d through that opening.


The silver-armored Emissary Vigilant came to the Blood G.o.d Altar in the blink of an eye. He then cast his eyes on Zhou Yu and Mosheng subdued by the Blood G.o.d Altar.


He wanted to rescue the two immediately, but he did not do that at last.


Zhang Ruochen was now standing on the Blood G.o.d Altar. If Zhang Ruochen decided to kill Zhou Yu and Mosheng, he might not save them in time.


The silver-armored Emissary Vigilant s.h.i.+fted his attention back to Zhang Ruochen with a solemn expression on his face. “Where is Xue Lingxian? I will see how far he has gone in his cultivation base.”


“Xue Lingxian died in ancient times. Everyone knows that Master Blood G.o.d killed him. The one who appeared just now was just his sacred will. He returned to the Blood G.o.d Altar after suppressing the invading enemy. So I don’t think there is anything I can help you with,” said Zhang Ruochen calmly.


The silver-armored Emissary Vigilant became furious and acted even more intimidatingly. “Step aside! I will enter the altar to investigate.”


The silver-armored Emissary Vigilant knew that something was amiss with the Blood G.o.d Altar the first time he saw it. Zhang Ruochen would have to comply as long as he could find something.


Zhang Ruochen stood his ground, his face turning icy. “The Blood G.o.d Altar is a forbidden place of the sect and the resting place of Grand Master Blood G.o.d. No one shall trespa.s.s. Do you want to blaspheme the immortal?”


The Blood G.o.d Altar contained some great secrets. He did not believe that the Emissary Vigilant could find anything. But he erred on the side of caution and would absolutely not allow the Emissary Vigilant to enter.


“What if I insist?” said the silver-armored Emissary Vigilant, trying to push his way through.


“You can try.” A cold light flashed in Zhang Ruochen’s eyes.


While speaking, Zhang Ruochen cast out the Zangshan Demonic Mirror. It hovered above him, and the supreme inscriptions on the mirror surface formed beams of Supreme Power.


He would not hesitate to strike if the Emissary Vigilant tried to break in. The Sect of the Blood G.o.d was his home turf. No way he would allow anyone to thumb its nose here.


Han Xue was clenching the Void Sword in her hand and stared at the silver-armored Emissary Vigilant with icy eyes.


“Are you all having a death wish?”


The silver-armored Emissary Vigilant was furious. There was a murderous look in his eyes.


He was a Supreme Saint, and the Celestial Palace-anointed Emissary Vigilant. No one had ever dared to threaten him this way.


“Don’t outsmart yourself, Zhang Ruochen. No one—not even Yueshen—could save you if you defy the heavenly rules,” said the silver-armored Emissary Vigilant solemnly.


But Zhang Ruochen was unperturbed. “If this is all you have to say, then you may leave now. I don’t have time for such nonsense.”


He hated Emissaries Vigilant from the Heavenly Realm faction all along. So he did not want to entertain this Emissary Vigilant.


The silver-armored Emissary Vigilant became even more enraged at seeing Zhang Ruochen’s att.i.tude, which was utterly arrogant; Zhang Ruochen was a loose cannon.


But when the thought of the purpose of his coming here came to mind, the silver-armored Emissary Vigilant had to fight back his anger.


He let out a sigh before he spoke in a low voice. “Zhang Ruochen, let Zhou Yu and Mosheng go, and I will pretend nothing has happened.”


“After all that talking, it turns out that you are coming for Zhou Yu and Mosheng. What if I refuse?” sneered Zhang Ruochen.


The face of the silver-armored Emissary Vigilant was grave. “Stop your arrogance, Zhang Ruochen. Both Zhou Yu and Mosheng are immortal materials. Heavenly Realm and Blackdemon Realm will allow no one to harm them. You will bring trouble to yourself and Guanghan Realm if you harm them.”


“Are you threatening me?” A cold light flashed in Zhang Ruochen’s eyes.


“This is not a threat, but the truth. You killed Shang Ziyan, and many other talents from the Celestial Realm faction. If it weren’t for Yueshen, you would have died a long time ago. If you dare to kill Zhou Yu and Mosheng, I guarantee even Yueshen could no longer save you, and you will die a miserable death,” said the silver-armored Emissary Vigilant.


Zhang Ruochen finally put two and two together. After he killed those many Celestial Ream cultivators, he wondered why there was nothing but silence from Celestial Realm. Zhou Yu was the only person who jumped out, threatening to kill him.


It turned out that it was not that Celestial Realm did not care. It was because of Yueshen’s intervention that had prevented the entire thing from exploding.


All those people whom he had killed were of great importance. Their talents were top notch. Many of them were expected to become top-tier Supreme Saints. In particular, Shang Ziyan was the material of immortality.


It was a no-brainer that those people were highly valued by the forces behind them. If something were to happen to them, it would surely alarm the immortals.


With this thought in mind, Zhang Ruochen knew that what the Emissary Vigilant said was true, and that it was Yueshen who intervened and saved his a.s.s.


Mu Lingxi and others had a grave expression on their faces at this moment. As much as they wanted to get rid of Zhou Yu and Mosheng, they did not want to cause trouble for Zhang Ruochen.


So it was up to Zhang Ruochen to decide what he wanted to do.


“My destiny is my business. You don’t need to worry about it. The Sect of the Blood G.o.d does not welcome you. Please leave,” said Zhang Ruochen in a bitter voice.


The silver-armored Emissary Vigilant could no longer hold back his anger when Zhang Ruochen asked him to leave.


“You have no idea who you’re messing with. It looks like I have no choice but to teach you a lesson.” A tsunami of energy erupted from the Emissary Vigilant’s body.


Zhang Ruochen had tricked him the last time he was in Eastern Region. He wanted to get even this time by teaching Zhang Ruochen a lesson.


A strong saint light appeared out of the silver-armored Emissary Vigilant and formed into a giant sacred hand to grab at Zhang Ruochen, wanting to subdue him.


The faces of Bao Lie, Jin Yu, and others changed dramatically as the silver-armored Emissary Vigilant struck. The powerful energy was so suppressive that they were almost suffocating.


The intimidating energy of Supreme Saints was particularly unbearable, causing their saint souls to tremble.


“Humph!” Zhang Ruochen was undeterred and struck with an extremely powerful punch.


He was not even afraid of the coercive force of immortals, let alone that of a Supreme Saint.


A Celestial River flowed out from Zhang Ruochen’s fist, wriggling in a circle as it carried an incomparable power to greet the hand of the sacred light.


Bang!


The hand of sacred light exploded at once while the Celestial Rover continued to sweep towards the silver-armored Emissary Vigilant.


The silver-armored Emissary Vigilant frowned. At first, he thought he could subdue Zhang Ruochen effortlessly. But he did not expect Zhang Ruochen to be so nasty.


The silver-armored Emissary Vigilant broke up the Celestial River at once with the wave of his hand.


Zhang Ruochen had made his move to attack. He couldn’t care less if it was an Emissary Vigilant. He would let no one mess with him.


He summoned his Canon of Truth into the Armor of the Fire G.o.d. A vast amount of flame inscriptions emerged from the Armor of the Fire G.o.d with raging fire.


“Eat this!” Zhang Ruochen yelled as he struck out a powerful palm strike.


Roar!


An elephant and a dragon shot out from Zhang Ruochen’s palm along with a series of roars. The elephant and dragon were stepping on red clouds of fire, seeming about to crush the world.


“How dare you!”


The silver-armored Emissary Vigilant shouted. Saint light gathered. It formed into a brand, trying to suppress the dragon and the elephant.


A grim look flashed in Zhang Ruochen’s eyes. He summoned 180,000 Precepts in his body and injected them into the bodies of the dragon and elephant.


The power of the dragon and elephant spiked. They were bursting with eightfold attack ability.


Boom!


The brand of saint light shattered into pieces in an instant. It was no match for Dragon-Elephant Prajna Palm Strike at all.


“Not good!”


The silver-armored Emissary Vigilant’s heart skipped a beat as he sensed a grievous threat coming his way.


Without the slightest hesitation, he formed seals with both hands. Seven protective saint lights were quickly cast out to block the dragon and the elephant.


Those seven protective saint lights shattered in tandem. They did not even stand a chance.


b.u.mp!


A powerful force hit the Emissary Vigil and sent him flying out backward.


The impact force even blew him out of the Sect of the Blood G.o.d.


“How is it possible? Zhang Ruochen is only a Precept Domain cultivator, and he is obviously seriously injured. Why is he still so strong?” The Emissary Vigilant was shocked and angry.


What he sent this time was the avatar of saint blood that possessed one-tenth of his strength.


But Zhang Ruochen had almost broken his avatar with just a palm strike. That strike had grievously hurt it.


“How dare you attack an Emissary Vigilant, Zhang Ruochen! Are you not afraid of me unleas.h.i.+ng heavenly punishment on you?”


The Emissary Vigilant was so angry that he was exploding with a murderous intent.


Yet Zhang Ruochen could not care less. “Before you drop the heavenly punishment, Zhou Yu and Mosheng will die. And you know it was you who attacked me first. Can an Emissary Vigilant act so arbitrarily?”


“You…” The silver-armored Emissary Vigilant could not find a word to respond.


With Zhou Yu and Mosheng as hostages, he was now at the mercy of Zhang Ruochen.


He came under the order to negotiate with Zhang Ruochen to rescue Zhou Yu and Mosheng. If the mission failed, and even if he killed Zhang Ruochen, he would probably be severely punished, and Yueshen would definitely come after him.


While the Emissary Vigilant was distracted, Zhang Ruochen came up to him at once and continued to attack with his Luoshui Fist Technique.


He did not like this Emissary Vigilant a bit. This Emissary Vigilant did not come during the siege of the Sword Vault Palace in Eastern Region. When he wanted to kill Bloodhunt Hongdong, this Emissary Vigilant came out to stop him. The same thing was happening this time.


He could do nothing about the Emissary Vigilant. But being able to beat his avatar of saint blood to a pulp could at least let him vent his anger.


Seeing Zhang Ruochen coming at him again, the silver-armored Emissary Vigilant was as frightened as he was angry. But there was nothing he could do about it. As much as he did not want to admit it, after the brief encounter, he had discovered that his avatar of saint blood was no match for Zhang Ruochen at all.


He knew he was at a disadvantage if he kept on fighting. Especially with many cultivators watching Zhang Ruochen beating him. He was an Emissary Vigilant, and he needed to save his face.


So he had no choice but to retreat, not wanting to engage Zhang Ruochen anymore.


“Stay where you are!”


Zhang Ruochen shouted in a low voice. He then performed a dimensional technique to freeze the s.p.a.ce of a hundred miles in radius.


No way the silver-armored Emissary Vigilant could escape as he was immobilized.


b.u.mp!


Zhang Ruochen arrived in a flash and launched a fiery attack against the Emissary Vigilant.


“d.a.m.n it!”


Up in heaven, thunderclouds were surging as the actual silver-armored Emissary Vigilant was about to go mad.


The one who got the beating was only his avatar of saint blood, but he could feel what his avatar felt. It was a great humiliation for him.


At this moment, those cultivators lingering in the vicinity of the Sect of the Blood G.o.d were stunned with their eyes wide open.


“What’s the situation? Is Zhang Ruochen crazy? How dare he attack the Emissary Vigilant’s avatar of saint blood!”


“My G.o.d! Zhang Ruochen is really daring. What he does is absolutely crazy!”


“What powerful thunder and lightning! The Emissary Vigilant is enraged. He will unleash heavenly punishment soon. Zhang Ruochen is digging his own grave. Let us get out of here now!”


“He is absolutely ruthless! Zhang Ruochen is probably the first person who a.s.saults an Emissary Vigilant. This time things are going to be a lot more interesting.”



To avoid being implicated, many cultivators quickly stepped back.


Even Fairy Huofeng was dumbfounded, not knowing what Zhang Ruochen wanted to do.


“That’s enough!” The silver-armored Emissary Vigilant snapped.


The fact was, he could not stand it anymore. His avatar of the saint blood was beaten black and blue. There goes his esteem.


“The Sect of the Blood G.o.d is not where you can throw your weight around.”


Unfortunately, Zhang Ruochen did not intend to stop. He continued to pursue and beat him up.


Badaboom!


The actual body of the silver-armored Emissary Vigilant released a more saint power. Dark clouds were rolling while bolts of lightning flashed between heaven and earth, as if the end of the world had come.


Whaam!


Zhang Ruochen stomped on the Emissary Vigilant’s avatar of the saint blood, which instantly burst into wisps of the blood of the Supreme Saint. He then lifted his Dimensional Freeze.


Without Dimensional Freeze, the saint blood of Supreme Saint flew up into the sky and disappeared into the Emissary Vigilant’s body.


The Emissary Vigilant s.h.i.+vered with anger. But he controlled himself, stopping short of unleas.h.i.+ng a heavenly punishment.


Zhang Ruochen looked up and stared at the silver-armored Emissary Vigilant. “Go back and tell that bigwig who sent you: I am not someone who could be bossed around. He had better show some sincerity if he wanted me to free Zhou Yu and Mosheng. Meanwhile, they both will have to stay here in the Sect of the Blood G.o.d.”


Not wanting to talk further, Zhang Ruochen went straight back into the Sect of the Blood G.o.d.


It was meaningless to negotiate with an Emissary Vigilant who could not make decisions. Doing so would only be a waste of time and effort.


“You will pay the price, Zhang Ruochen!” The silver-armored Emissary Vigilant roared with fury.


Immediately, he vanished. And the thunderclouds gathered in the sky also dissipated.


Those cultivators in the vicinity of the Sect of the Blood G.o.d were looking stunned. At first, they all thought that Zhang Ruochen would surely die this time. Little did they expect to see that things would turn out this way.


Crus.h.i.+ng the avatar of an Emissary Vigilant and making the Emissary Vigilant swallow his pride—was this something a Saint King could do?


A hot-blooded young man is fearless.


It would surely cause an uproar once news spread.
