Chapter 959: The Blood Saint
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
Zhang Ruochen shrank his eyes to pour all his Holy Qi into his arms. He made 27 palm prints in a row to hit at the claws of Blood General Yunluan.
Bang bang.
At first, Blood General Yunluan could defend himself from Zhang Ruochen’s palm prints. But after the tenth palm print, his claws were cut down.
The following 17 palm prints all landed on the body of Blood General Yunluan.
After Zhang Ruochen took the palm prints back, Blood General Yunluan’s skin exploded. He was bleeding.
His body was like a boneless meatball, spreading on the ground.
If someone examined the wounds of Blood General Yunluan, he would find that all bones and veins inside Blood General Yunluan had been broken by Zhang Ruochen.
Although Zhang Ruochen had defeated two of the powerful figures of the Immortal Vampires, he didn’t relax a bit. He grabbed the Seven Saint Snake Lance again, and turned around to face the attack of the Second Royal Prince.
The Second Royal Prince had a high achievement in Sword Techniques. The 1.2 meter long sword revolved quickly in his hand, forming a sword curtain covering up the sky and the ground.
Apparently, he had noticed that the boy of the Blood God Sect had a strong body. So he didn’t choose to hit him hard, but try to use sophisticated Sword Techniques to defeat him.
“Sword One,” Zhang Ruochen said to himself.
Although he had the Seven Saint Snake Lance in hand, he still displayed a Sword Technique to stab in front of him with the feeling of the Sword One.
Just one stab had broken all sword Qi and forced the Second Royal Prince to retreat.
The Second Royal Prince looked at a hole in his left sleeve, feeling scared as well as furious. “You used the Sword Technique.”
“Yes, I did use the Sword Technique.”
After saying the words, Zhang Ruochen sensed something. He looked to the right behind the Second Royal Prince. There, he could see a shadow with giant blood wings show up.
The person was only standing quietly afar, but a strand of frightening power waves was generated. Rings of blood ripples spread in the air, enveloping the whole space.
Obviously, the person was the royal uncle of the Immortal Vampires.
“Now the real strong one appears.”
Zhang Ruochen put on a grave face. He put away the Seven Saint Snake Lance in the Spatial Ring, then called the Abyss Ancient Sword out to hold it in hand.
The person must be a saint with the strong body of an Immortal Vampire. Even if Zhang Ruochen had Five Elements Chaotic Body, he couldn’t defeat him.
Only by using the power of time and space could he have a chance to win.
Seeing Zhang Ruochen pick out the Abyss Ancient Sword, the bright eyes of the Saint Lady, who was sitting on the ground, gave out brilliance like two black pearls.
No words could express her feelings now.
It was really Zhang Ruochen. He had risked his life to come down into the Bottomless Abyss to save her.
It had to be said that Zhang Ruochen was not a sect leader of the Way of Confucius, nor a War Saint of the imperial court, but just a young Half-Saint.
But he had done the thing undone by the sect leaders of the Way of Confucius or the War Saints.
“Why should he do this?”
The Saint Lady thought about it, and found it a little hard to breathe and was disarrayed.
A little blush showed on her flawless face. She had forgotten what a dangerous situation they were in. They could die at any time.
The Second Royal Prince now stared at the Spatial Ring on Zhang Ruochen’s finger, and the black ancient sword.
“Why do you have Zhang Ruochen’s sword?”
The Second Royal Prince observed the boy of the Blood God Sect again, finding it hard to understand why both saint weapons of Mei Lanzhu and Zhang Ruochen were in his hands.
King Xianlan walked out with a slow pace. His evil eyes, which gave out blood light, stared at Zhang Ruochen, as if he had seen him through.
He said, “Because he is Zhang Ruochen himself.”
“He’s Zhang Ruochen?” The Second Royal Prince was astonished again.
King Xianlan said, “Who else could defeat two Immortal Vampires at the Eighth Level of Half-Saint in a row with a cultivation at only the Third Level of Half-Saint, other than the Time and Space Descendant, Zhang Ruochen, with the Five Elements Chaotic Body?”
King Xianlan stood straight with his hands behind his back. The armor on him was like blood crystal. He stood there like a steadfast mountain. Any human beings would feel desperate in having met him.
Even if the Rules of the Heaven and the Earth in the First Gradient had suppressed his cultivation, his power was still too strong to be compared to Half-Saints.
Saints were dominators wherever they were.
In the eyes of saints, all lives below the saint realm were like pests which could be killed with a blink.
King Xianlan stared at Zhang Ruochen, “Zhang Ruochen, I’ve always regarded you as a rare talent. As long as you chop off the Saint Lady’s head and hand the Vampire Secrets to me, you will surely be crowned a king back in the Qingtian Tribe.”
Zhang Ruochen looked at the Saint Lady and laughed. “Even if I wanted to, I’m afraid the Second Royal Prince wouldn’t agree to it.”
The Second Royal Prince laughed. “Zhang Ruochen, you’ve taken me as a petty person. Although we had some grudges in the past, I can totally forgive you, as long as you join my camp.”
Then the Second Royal Prince added, “The Saint Lady was one of the most favored Maidens of the Empress. If you could kill her, you would surely make your name.”
Zhang Ruochen didn’t change his face, and said, “But I had life-death connections with Miss Nalan. I can’t kill her.”
The Saint Lady was a little recovered. She stood up slowly. Her slender figure was like a beautiful crescent.
“Zhang Ruochen, the man opposite was a younger brother of the Blood Emperor Qingtian, called King Xianlan. He reached the saint realm long ago. If I am fully recovered, I can defeat him.”
The Saint Lady was reminding Zhang Ruochen that he shouldn’t fight with King Xianlan right away, but retreat. After giving her some time to recover, then they could fight back.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t want to fight King Xianlan the hard way. He didn’t stand a chance to win against a saint with his current cultivation.
King Xianlan saw that it was impossible for Zhang Ruochen to surrender to the Immortal Vampires, and his eyes became even more ruthless. He said coldly, “I will deal with Zhang Ruochen. Your Royal Highness, you will capture the Saint Lady.”
But before King Xianlan and the Second Royal Prince could make the move, two black pills flew from Zhang Ruochen’s hands to explode in front of them, changing into two clouds of Evil Death Qi.
The two black pills had been refined by Zhang Ruochen recently. The Evil Death Qi contained in it was dozens of times stronger than before.
Zoom.
King Xianlan took the Second Royal Prince to retreat rapidly backwards. He didn’t stop until they’d retreated more than 300 meters.
But the severely wounded Blood General Yunyi and Yunluan weren’t lucky like them.
The Evil Death Qi entered their body immediately. Their wounds all became black and their bodies badly eroded.
Their cultivations were suppressed in the First Gradient. So they couldn’t resist the Evil Death Qi.
“Blood King…my lord…help!”
The pathetic screams of Blood General Yunyi were heard from inside the Evil Death Qi.
The Second Royal Prince was chilled and looked to King Xianlan. “Royal Uncle, they are two powerful generals with high cultivations…”
Before the Second Royal Prince could finish his words, King Xianlan shook his head and said firmly, “The situation is too different from the ground above. I can’t resolve the Evil Death Qi easily even with my cultivation. We are here for the Vampire Secrets. Let’s go after Zhang Ruochen and the Saint Lady first. We can’t let them run away.”
After Zhang Ruochen threw the Evil Death Qi, he took the Saint Lady immediately and displayed his quickest speed to run away.
While running to the front, Zhang Ruochen looked at the Saint Lady in his arms, and asked, “How long does it take to recover your spiritual power completely?”
The soft arms of the Saint Lady clutched to Zhang Ruochen, looking very quiet and sweet. She said softly, “Three days.”
“Three days?”
Zhang Ruochen looked behind and said, “King Xianlan would catch up with us in less than half an hour at such a speed.”
If Zhang Ruochen was alone, he had confidence he could survive from the fight with King Xianlan.
But with the Saint Lady, he had to spare a mind to look after her. By then, neither of them could run away.
A river condensed by bloody mist gushed to Zhang Ruochen and the Saint Lady from behind, approaching them gradually.
King Xianlan and the Second Royal Prince stood at the front of the blood river.
The Saint Lady frowned. “I have exhausted all my spiritual power and most of my blood Qi to arrive at the edge of total exhaustion. How can I fully recover to my prime so easily?”
Zhang Ruochen knew that the Saint Lady was experiencing difficulties, so he stopped placing all the hope on her. Thousands of ideas came to him.
All of a sudden, Zhang Ruochen’s eyes lit up. “I have a risky way. Maybe we can have a try.”
Then he changed the direction by moving his feet to rush a different way.
He couldn’t fight hard with King Xianlan, so he had to borrow someone’s strength.
Whose?
Only the power of the blood beasts in the First Gradient.
So Zhang Ruochen immediately thought about the sleeping Cloud Gold Beast that he had run into before.
“Royal Uncle, Zhang Ruochen escaped in a different direction,” said the Second Royal Prince.
“There is no road to the heaven nor hell here, no matter where he runs.” King Xianlan gave a sharp look, and changed his direction to follow up with an even quicker speed.
Rustle.
Sand and stones kept rolling on the ground.
Strands of blood Qi had gushed above the heads of Zhang Ruochen and the Saint Lady. King Xianlan was less than 300 meters behind them.
270 meters, 240 meters…
The closer they were, the stronger the blood Qi became.
