Chapter 1731: Elder Qi

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
As the Saint Qi within his body followed methods of the eighth layer of the Emperor Ming Nine-sky Scriptures, Zhang Ruochen could unexpectedly suppress the spread of the poison.
Every time he attained a new layer of the scriptures, his Saint Qi’s quality increased.
Evidently, the eighth layer of the Emperor Ming Nine-sky Scripture had already reached a level where he was immune to poison.
However, the mirage venom was too powerful, that was why it could poison even Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen moved quickly. Secretly he mobilized Divine Fire Jingmie, and started to break down the venom.
Elder Qi was extremely confident in the venom, and believed that no creature under the cultivation of a Supreme Saint could suppress the poison.
Not only that, but Elder Qi had also received detailed information about how Zhang Ruochen’s strength was not weak at all, and that he could manipulate space and time.
That was why he did not dare to get near to Zhang Ruochen, and instead stood about ten feet out, waiting for the full effect of the poison to take place.
At that time, he didn’t even need to move a finger, and Zhang Ruochen would have already been rendered defenseless by the poison.
“Why? Why… do you want to kill me?”
Zhang Ruochen pretended that the poison was spreading into his body, with the trembling on his hands getting more and more obvious. In reality, he was merely trying to delay for more time.
Elder Qi’s smile turned even more prideful, and he said, “Your targets were too obvious. It was clear that you were targeting the younger generation of Heaven Field. How could I let you off?”
“Are you a member of the God of Death Palace, or are you a part of Heaven Field?” Zhang Ruochen asked.
“I am both.”
Elder Qi laughed after replying, and continued, “Are the two identities mutually exclusive? Haha! Youngster, you are too inexperienced after all. You need to learn to hide yourself. The more you stand out, the faster you will die. The more you hide, the more unexpected your strikes can be.”
Zhang Ruochen groaned, “From what I knew, the God of Death Palace did not belong to any Field, and was independent. I am a VIP of the God of Death Palace. If you kill me, do you think the higher-ups will let you off?”
Elder Qi looked at Zhang Ruochen as though he was looking at an idiot, and replied, “This old man has already been here for so long. With my status, I could give any reason and pass over this incident. For example, you did not want to pay up and wanted to run away. I accidentally killed you. Isn’t that perfectly normal? Don’t you think?”
Gradually, Elder Qi realized that something was off, and he frowned. “It has been so long, the poison should have already spread across your entire body. How can you still speak?”
Whoosh!
Elder Qi was worried about accidents, and immediately wielded his sword to attack Zhang Ruochen.
As the sword assaulted Zhang Ruochen, it swirled in the air and turned into a ball of Sword Qi.
This old fart is too decisive. I am still breaking down the poison in my body…what to do?
Just as Zhang Ruochen got distracted, the poison in his body started acting up again, and half his body turned numb.
“Darn it! This poison is so difficult to break down. Demonic Sound, block him now!” Zhang Ruochen called out.
From his back, an attractive figure emerged into a gorgeous beauty.
With a blood moon-like Endless Blade, she blocked the assault.
Clang!
The Sword Qi was smashed apart.
As the sword and Endless Blade clashed together, the silver light and the blood light made a sharp contrast as the two mountain-like presences clashed. Even the space within the building shook a little.
Demonic Sound stepped back a few steps, and her pretty face smiled. “Old man, seems like your cultivation is pretty high to think of attacking my master.”
Elder Qi had never expected that there would be such an unexpected intruder.
When his eyes looked towards Zhang Ruochen, his face changed again.
He could see that Zhang Ruochen’s limb was slowly recovering.
Could it….
Could it be that he can cleanse the poison?
With his vast experience, Elder Qi quickly calmed down and prepared to battle. From within his body, a thick demonic fog emerged, and his strength seemed to have increased drastically. He looked like a towering demonic overlord, and coldly asked, “Girl, that blade must be Wang Tian’s Endless Blade, right?”
“Not bad…seems like you are not blind! Haha.”
Demonic Sound was not at all afraid, and strands of her hair turned into vines with lightning wrapped around them. Like snakes, they slithered out and occupied the entire building.
“Even such a powerful youngster like Wang Tian also got killed by you. Everyone has underestimated you, Zhang Ruochen. Today, this old man will kill you! ”
Holding his sword, Elder Qi drew a circle.
The light from the sword seemed to fill the circle, making it into a glorious full moon.
Whoosh!
The full moon condensed into a single point, and in a split second, it arrived before Demonic Sound.
Demonic Sound had already activated the perfect Fourth-Yao level power of the Endless Blade, and as she slashed out, the edge of the sword smashed right at the point of light. At that instance, an immense force transmitted to her limbs, and almost caused her to use her blade.
“Such a powerful old man. His cultivation level must be that of a seventh-step Saint King.”
Demonic Sound was preparing to use Rules of Truth to fight against Elder Qi.
Yet, before she could do that, that point of light that was clashing with her blade suddenly changed direction and flew towards Zhang Ruochen.
That point of light was in fact the tip of the sword.
“The speed is so fast?”
Demonic Sound knew that the opponent was an assassin, thus speed would naturally be their strength. By now it was too late to block the attack, so she started to use the dense forest of vines to attack Elder Qi to prevent him from following up on the attack.
“Carnivorous Holy Flower, you are indeed quite an opponent. However, with only the cultivation of a Fifth Step Saint King, you can’t stop me.”
Elder Qi slashed aside the vines, and dashed out, striking at Zhang Ruochen.
As the tip of the sword drew closer to Zhang Ruochen’s head, Elder Qi’s smile spread, and he declared, “Now, all your bounty money belongs to me!”
Bong!
A black skeleton hand stretched out and slapped Elder Qi away.
“This is….?”
As Elder Qi was being bounced away, his eyes stared at the skeleton.
He could only see that a humongous black skeleton stood beside Zhang Ruochen. The aura coming from it was not any weaker than himself.
That was an undead spirit with the cultivation of a Seventh Step Saint King?
That must be the Emperor Yi Bone Staff. But how did it become so powerful?
Elder Qi was full of questions, but he did not have any time to think about it as Demonic Sound gathered her Rules of Truth. With an attack that was amplified three times by the Rules of Truth, she attacked him.
Quickly, Elder Qi gathered all of his Saint Qi. Using the Sword Qi, he created a mirror.
Boom!
Elder Qi smashed onto the ground, and even the Xuan Ice Saint Jade bed was shattered into a million pieces.
Kneeling, Elder Qi’s white hair was all over the place. His eyes were bloodshot as he laughed, “You are amazing! Even after being poisoned, you are so difficult to deal with. No wonder even after Young Mister Ziyan tried so many times, you are still alive. Luckily, you are trapped within this tower, else you would have escaped again.”
Demonic Sound played with the Endless Blade as she twisted her sexy waist. She walked up to the black skeleton, and charmingly smiled. “With me and Emperor Yi, it won’t be easy for you to deal with Master.”
Elder Qi sneered, and his two hands raised up, injecting demonic Qi into the building.
Whoosh!
From every inch of the structure, deadly formations lit up, and large amounts of the attacks were launched towards Zhang Ruochen and his allies.
Those attacking Zhang Ruochen were all blocked by Demonic Sound.
The assault grew stronger, and the vines being controlled by Demonic Sound were being crushed. She could only passively defend.
The Emperor Yi Bone Staff took the initiative to go on the offensive. However, the sixteen lamps formed into a Formation, and suppressed the Emperor Yi Bone Staff.
Rumble!
Thunder and lightning started forming within the tower, and the fighting seemed to reach the most deciding moment.
Yet on the outside, all was calm and peaceful. No one knew that Zhang Ruochen was in danger, and they were merely calmly waiting.
Elder Qi walked over, and said, “Making this tower cost me almost all my savings. The formations within would be enough to fight against Eighth Step Saint Kings, and could trap even Ninth Step Saint Kings for a good half an hour. Here, you could only wait to be killed by me.”
On the sword, the Sword Qi lit up again, and an aura no weaker than Fourth-Yao was emitted.
The blinding sword turned the space into a silvery world.
Demonic Sound was worried, and wanted to fight Elder Qi with all her might. However, the attacks from the tower suppressed her. Just as she stepped out, a thread of light cut through her body.
“Urgh….”
Demonic Sound quickly retreated. From under her feet, a patch of Divine Fire Jingmie appeared and gushed towards Elder Qi.
However, before even getting near to Elder Qi, the flames were put out by the energy oozing out from the formation. In return, a freezing wave headed straight at Zhang Ruochen and Demonic Sound.
“That’s the end of playtime. Let us end this!”
On Elder Qi’s sword, 5 streaks of Saintly Light appeared. With the strength of fifth-yao, he swung his sword.
The sharp sword Qi was like a waterfall, as it streaked across the building. The entire space seemed to be stirred by the attack.
Demonic Sound and Zhang Ruochen were about to be killed by Elder Qi.
Yet, Zhang Ruochen, who was sitting on the ground, opened a silver-colored book. Suddenly, the space in the building was being split into multiple dimensions.
At the same time, space was being twisted, and its direction reversed.
The cascade of Sword Qi suddenly changed directions and flew towards Elder Qi.
Goosh!
How could Elder Qi have expected such a change? His reaction was slowed, and the sword Qi attacked his waist, cutting him in two.
Crimson blood spurted out, along with Elder Qi’s screams.
With his face pale, like that of a frail scholar, Zhang Ruochen stood up with Demonic Sound’s assistance, and weakly said, “Give me the antidote…for the poison. I can… let you die a painless death…”
