“Arrow of Deva Path? How could it be an Arrow of Deva Path? Could it be Lady Fu Xiang?”
Zhang Ruochen felt extreme pain all over his body. Everything before him was dark.
His armor was covered by the precepts formed after the arrow exploded. It was like countless chains that wrapped around him. He couldn’t move.
“Huh? It doesn’t seem to be serious.”
Zhang Ruochen realized that the initial impact was terrifying. His internal organs were in chaos, and his bones were cracking. His Saint Soul seemed to be scattered, and he almost passed out.
However, after taking a breath, the saint Qi in his body returned to normal. He only felt pain all over his body, but he wasn’t injured.
The voice of the Intergold Tiger sounded, “Fortunately, you reacted quickly and activated four layers of strong defense at once. The precepts in the Arrow of Deva Path can’t penetrate your armor. Otherwise, even if I activate the Intergold Precept Marks, I’m afraid I can only save your life.”
Zhang Ruochen understood that it was the Intergold Tiger who had neutralized the collision force of the Arrow of Deva Path.
Suddenly, Zhang Ruochen sensed a suffocating aura coming from the sky. It was as if the sky had collapsed. Even space was condensing, and the earth was sinking.
‘What was going on?
‘One Arrow of Deva Path was not enough. Was she going to launch a second attack?
‘The aura of this power was even more terrifying than the Arrow of Deva Path.
‘No, it’s not aimed at me. It seems that the entire Enchanton is covered by this aura. Who wants to destroy a city?’ Zhang Ruochen’s thoughts were a mess. He could not figure out what had happened.
He’d thought Bai Qing’er would attack, and so did the Heavenly Realm.
But he’d never thought it would be the Yanluo clan who attacked.
He’d also never thought the entire Enchanton would fall into a crisis of destruction.
One thing after another happened, entirely outside of Zhang Ruochen’s expectations.
‘I’ll take this opportunity to leave this place first.’
Zhang Ruochen circulated his saint Qi and Divine Purification Flame. Just as he was about to break free from the Precepts, a faint aura fluctuated from 30 meters away.
The other party had concealed his aura well, but it could not hide from Zhang Ruochen’s Heart of Truth.
Zhang Ruochen quickly put away his Saint Qi and lay on the ground motionlessly, pretending that he had been shot.
SWOOSH!
Shang Xia was dressed in black, wearing a veil and holding a Saint Sword. Her body was semi-transparent. With a wave of her scroll, she lifted all the crushed stones, wooden pillars, and tiles on Zhang Ruochen’s body.
She looked at Zhang Ruochen, who no longer had any breath, and a flash of surprise appeared in her eyes. She said to herself, “The Arrow of Deva Path couldn’t break his armor. He does have a lot of treasures. Unfortunately, the vibration of the arrow was enough to turn his body into a bloody mess.”
Shang Xia walked over to Zhang Ruochen and lifted his neck. She was about to hide him in a space treasure, but suddenly, she tried to throw Zhang Ruochen out as if she was avoiding snakes and scorpions.
“You’re very alert, but it’s too late!”
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes widened. He struck Shang Xia’s abdomen with his palm.
BANG!
Shang Xia’s slim body bent and flew backward.
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes suddenly contracted. He realized that his palm had hit her hard. However, Shang Xia’s cultivation was too high. She released hundreds of billions of Precepts at the first moment and dissolved most of the palm force.
Zhang Ruochen caught up with her in a flash. He planned to make another attack.
Shang Xia was still flying in the air. Her abdomen was in pain, and there was blood on the corner of her mouth. Her face was full of shock. She could not understand why Zhang Ruochen did not die under the Arrow of Deva Path.
He did not even seem to be injured.
Seeing Zhang Ruochen catching up, Shang Xia immediately activated the Saint Sword in his hand. He swung the sword and slashed forward, leaving a brilliant sword ray.
This sword was not only full of sword qi but also integrated with the sword’s soul. It could directly cut Zhang Ruochen’s Saint Soul.
SWOOSH
Zhang Ruochen disappeared in front of her eyes.
“Not good.”
Shang Xia realized the danger.
Zhang Ruochen walked out of the space behind her. He swung the Ugyen Cudgel and hit the back of her head heavily.
The Ugyen Cudgel was a Supreme Artifact. It could not only burst out Supreme Power but also hit Shang Xia’s spiritual power and Saint Soul. She immediately suffered severe injuries. She closed her eyes and fainted.
Zhang Ruochen picked up the unconscious Shang Xia and thought for a moment. He pulled a strand of hair from her head and threw it on the ground.
Then, he sealed her into the Secret Tome of Time and Space.
…
A moment later, Kai Luo, wearing a white jade mask, and four cultivators from the Heavenly Realm appeared here through dimensional teleportation.
One of the Dwarven Supreme Saints said in a deep voice, “Damn it, we’re too late. Who stole Zhang Ruochen’s dead body first?”
Kai Luo released his spiritual power to explore the ruins, not letting go of any clues.
Then, he kicked away a three-meter-long boulder. He picked up a strand of hair and put it to the tip of his nose to sniff. “I already know who took Zhang Ruochen’s body,” his eyes behind the mask became ferocious. Let’s go. I’ll settle this with her.”
One of the Heavenly Realm cultivators immediately drew Dimensional Inscriptions and set up a spatial array.
A voice suddenly sounded. “You cultivators of the Heavenly Realm have entered the Infernal Court. Do you think you can just come and go as you please? ”
“Who is it?”
The Supreme Saints of the Heavenly Realm summoned their artifacts and looked in the direction of the voice.
A black umbrella floated in the air and slowly floated over.
Yan Yu’s figure appeared under the black umbrella within a hundred meters.
Lady Fu Xiang came from another direction. She said, “The worst thing you Heavenly Realm should do is use my name to shoot Zhang Ruochen. Claflin of the Elves, I had long heard that you were one of the four archery powerhouses of the Celestial Court. Today, I shall see what you can really do.”
Yan Yu said, “Hand over Zhang Ruochen’s body, and I’ll leave you all in one piece.”
…
Rumble
The light emitted by the Heavenly Retribution Talisman in the sky was extremely bright.
Purple lightning cut through heaven and earth and fell into the Enchanton, colliding with the city defense formation. The light curtain formed by the formation kept shaking like a layer of fragile paper, ready to break at any time.
The cultivators in the city were frightened by the power of the Divine Talisman.
Once the city defense array was broken, how many people could survive?
On the stargazing platform, all the Supreme Saints activated their weapons.
Some attacked directly to destroy the Divine Talisman, while others collided with the thunder and lightning from the Divine Talisman to help the city defense array resist the attack.
In Enchanton, there was an undercurrent.
Apart from Yan Yu and Lady Fu Xiang, the cultivators of the Heavenly Realm and the Supreme Saints of other forces also rushed to the direction where Zhang Ruochen’s body fell.
Even though they didn’t know that Zhang Ruochen might have a superior-grade Divine Crystal of Origin, they knew that Zhang Ruochen had several Supreme Artifacts and many treasures.
A prosperous ancient city became chaotic.
No one knew how it had suddenly become like this. Who was the mastermind behind all this?
What was the ultimate purpose of all this chaos?
After Zhang Ruochen left the ruins, he came to the Governor’s Manor. Using the Path of Dimension and the Canon of Dimension, he quietly returned to Master Xunmu’s small courtyard.
He looked up at the massive talisman in the sky. His heart couldn’t help but beat faster.
‘How could there be a Divine Talisman? Bai Qing’er has so much power that she can hire an Archsaint Talisman Master? Besides, isn’t she afraid of destroying Enchanton?’
Zhang Ruochen had to admire Bai Qing’er’s boldness. She was really desperate to achieve her goal.
But he still couldn’t figure out why Lady Fu Xiang would attack him.
No matter how powerful Bai Qing’er was, she couldn’t control a powerhouse like Lady Fu Xiang.
There were only two possibilities:
First, the Enchanteur Chamber knew they couldn’t take over the Fane of Origin by themselves, so they cooperated with the Yanluo clan.
Second, it wasn’t Lady Fu Xiang who shot the Arrow of Deva Path.
Comparatively, Zhang Ruochen believed that it was the latter.
After all, based on his understanding of Bai Qing’er, she looked gentle and weak. Still, she was braver and more fearless than any cultivator. She often did things that ordinary people wouldn’t dare to do.
If she wanted to take the Fane of Origin, she would never share it with the Yanluo clan.
Zhang Ruochen couldn’t see through her plan, so he hid in the Governor’s Manor and continued to play the role of Master Xunmu. He wanted to see what other plans she had and to find an opportunity to save Shangguan Que.
All the spiritual-power masters came to the arena in the Governor’s Manor. Each of them held a Genbu Pebble in their hands.
Duan Lingfeng, Shang Yue, and dozens of Supreme Saint-level powerhouses stood in the center of the arena and looked at the Heavenly Tribulation Talisman in the sky. The governor, deputy governor, and commander of Ji Feng City were among them.
Even Supreme Saint-level powerhouses would rarely see the legendary Divine Talisman in their lifetime.
At this moment, some were fearful, some were crazy, and some were terrified.
As for the spiritual-power master who hadn’t reached the Supreme Saint-level, their legs couldn’t help but tremble. It wasn’t that their state of mind wasn’t strong enough, but the power of the Divine Talisman was beyond what their state of mind could bear.
Zhang Ruochen held his breath and tried to calm himself down. Among the Supreme Saints, he saw Lord Ironclad. He found that all the Supreme Saints who had appeared in Ji Feng Manor were here.
‘Bai Qing’er really has other plans besides trying to take me down. What is more important than the superior-grade Divine Crystal of Origin? Is she really after the Tensho Compass?’ Zhang Ruochen was shocked.
A sad smile appeared on Duan Lingfeng’s bearded and chubby face. He said, “The city defense formation of Enchanton won’t last long. It will be destroyed soon.”
Gu Yanzhi was a little worried. He said, “If the Divine Talisman appears, will the Hoth Emperor intervene?”
Duan Lingfeng shook his head. He said, “The Hoth Emperor is an extremely great god. How can he intervene in the battles below divinity? Even if the entire Enchanton is destroyed, no matter how many Saint-level cultivators die, in his eyes, it’s just a small matter.”
Shang Yue said, “What a pity! The Enchanteur Chamber has been operating on Hoth for many years, before they had the scale of Enchanton today. The losses would be too great if they were destroyed in one day!”
