The ghost shadow was quite tall, with a unicorn horn and fangs, and the Blood Moon Ghost King stood in the palm of its hand, exuding a holy white light all over its body, with only a blood-red crescent moon mark in the centre of its brow appearing particularly demonic.
The Blood Moon Ghost King’s hands closed together, using ghost fire, he refined the Withered Swallow Martial Saint’s holy soul into a snow-white elixir, pinched it between his two fingers, and placed it into his lips.
“Puffing.”
Light and darkness alternated within the Blood Moon Ghost King’s body, the holy qi and ghost qi entangled with each other, and gradually, the blood moon mark on his brow became even more bright red.
Including the Demon Ran Princess, all of the Martial Saints of the Green Dragon Dynasty felt their scalps tingle, their vests chilled, and no matter how strong their cultivation and state of mind were, their legs couldn’t help but tremble.
The Kukyan Martial Saint was a Nine Dragons Martial Saint of the older generation, with a cultivation as powerful as this, but he was actually killed by the other party unknowingly, and even his Saint Soul was extracted from his body and refined into Soul Pills.
How terrifying must the cultivation of that Ghost King be?
“Escape …… escape …… hurry up and escape ……”
Devil Ran Wangfei’s full puffy peaks, violently undulated for a moment, and gave a delicate cry, then, harnessing the nine black dragon shadows, she fled towards the starry sky at the fastest speed possible.
“Damn it, why didn’t Zhang Ruochen invite this Ghost King out when he was outside the Green Dragon Market Realm?”
At this moment, Demon Ran Princess was quite regretful, had she known that the Ming Sect had such a terrifying Ghost King, then she wouldn’t have dared to provoke Zhang Ruochen no matter what.
“It’s definitely a Ghost King that is even more powerful than an Upper Realm Saint.”
The other four Nine Dragons Martial Saints turned pale with fear, sensing the terrifying Fury Qi gushing out from the Blood Moon Ghost King’s body, each of them exerted their fastest speed to flee for their lives.
“Come back.”
The Blood Moon Ghost King softly shouted, spitting out a demonic sound from his mouth.
The four Nine Dragons Martial Saints had all rushed into mid-air and were about to flee the planet, but after hearing the demonic sound, their Saint Souls suffered a heavy blow, and a heart-rending fainting pain emanated from their brains, and they were unable to control the Saint Qi in their bodies, falling down from mid-air.
The Devil Ran Princess was also attacked by the demonic sound, however, she had already flown far away and her cultivation was much more profound, her body only fell down a short distance, and she soon stopped.
“So powerful.”
Cold sweat broke out on Devil Ran Princess’s forehead, and her face was as pale as a piece of paper.
The cultivation of the Devil Ran King Consort was already quite powerful, yet she was still frightened enough to use the holy decree and escape at a much faster speed with the help of the decree’s power.
The four Nine Dragons Martial Saints who fell to the ground were all bleeding from seven holes and were quite miserable, but, after all, they weren’t Lower Realm Saints, and their fleshly bodies and martial souls were quite powerful, and they weren’t shaken to death by the demonic sound.
“Everyone, we can’t escape anymore, so why don’t we fight her to the death, and maybe we can fight our way out of this.”Wang Shizu climbed out of the large pit, covered in bloodstains, yet boiling with battle intent.
The other three Nine Dragons Martial Saints were also strong-willed characters, and knowing that they could not escape, they decided to fight to the death.
“Heavenly Dragon Tongshen Method.”
Wang Shizu’s finger struck his body nine times, performing a secret technique that stimulated his battle power.
The Heavenly Dragon Tongshen Technique, along with the various Tongshen Techniques circulating in the Kunlun Realm, originated from the Ancient Sorcerer’s Way and belonged to the forbidden secret arts, which could burn the blood, essence, and holy qi in the body, and within a short period of time, explode with a power that exceeded one’s own by a factor of ten.
The other three Nine Dragons Martial Saints also used the Heavenly Dragon Tongshen Technique, the aura on their bodies growing more and more intense, the blood in their bodies was like a great river rushing through them, emitting a rumbling sound.
The four Nine Dragons Martial Saints were already transcendent powers, and when they used their forbidden secret techniques, they naturally became even more terrifying, much like four flood beasts that could devour the heavens and the earth.
The Blood Moon Ghost King appeared to be rather bland, with a pair of bare jade feet, her feet stepping on a long bridge of ghostly mist, resembling a moonlight fairy as she walked towards the four Nine Dragons Martial Saints.
“Burning Sky Seal.”
A small and thin Martial Saint threw his hands and struck a huge fireball.
Within the fireball, an iron seal of the Thousand Stripe Sacred Artifact grade was wrapped around it, all the inscriptions surfacing and emitting a scorching power.
The Blood Moon Ghost King slapped his backhand, his palm as crystalline as divine jade, sending the so-called Burning Sky Seal flying backwards.
That skinny Martial Saint was shocked in his heart and hastily retreated backwards to avoid the Burning Sky Seal that flew backward.
Before he could stand firmly on his feet, the Blood Moon Ghost King had already appeared in front of him, striking his head with a palm strike.
“No……”
That skinny Martial Saint failed to block the Blood Moon Ghost King’s strike.
With a bang, the Blood Moon Ghost King’s palm, knocked his head into into his abdomen, and a pillar of blood gushed out from the neck.
The Bloodmoon Ghost King’s finger, pointed at his body, drew out the Saint Soul, used the ghost fire, and once again refined the Soul Pill.
The other three Nine Dragons Martial Saints took this opportunity to attack, all of them using their strongest moves.
The Blood Moon Ghost King refined the Soul Pill with one hand, while with the other, she simultaneously fought the three Nine Dragons Martial Saints.
By the time she succeeded in refining the Soul Pill, the other three Nine Dragons Martial Saints, all of them were suppressed to the ground.
It was not until this time that the three Martial Saints clearly realised how huge the gap between themselves and the Blood Moon Ghost King was, and it was truly ridiculous to even presume to kill the other party.
Zhang Ruochen said, “Her cultivation has enhanced by a large margin, could it be that she has already crossed the third Ghost Tribulation?”
The Blood Moon Ghost King swallowed the Soul Dan into her mouth, appearing elegant as if she was savouring a pastry, and no one could imagine that it was the Holy Soul of a Saint.
Then, she stared at the three Nine Dragons Martial Saints on the ground, a fiery glint in her eyes, and she couldn’t help but lick her lips as if she was looking at the most delicious food.
Seeing the Blood Moon Ghost King’s eyes, the hearts of all three Nine Dragons Martial Saints thumped, and a coldness travelled from their heads to their feet.
“It’s not easy for us to become saints, Lord Ghost King, please let us live.”One of the Nine Dragons Martial Saints said in a trembling voice.
In front of death, even Saints had difficulty facing it openly, and had to lower their stance to beg the other party in the hope of exchanging for a chance to live.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
The Blood Moon Ghost King was quite merciless and crushed through, the holy bodies of the three Nine Dragons Martial Saints burst apart and turned into three clouds of blood mist, with only the holy source and some hard holy bones crashing to the ground.
The Blood Moon Ghost King’s five fingers opened and closed, taking the holy souls of the three Nine Dragons Martial Saints into his palm, and quickly refined them into three more soul pills.
It would take some time to refine the two Soul Pills that he had taken earlier, so instead of continuing to take the Soul Pills, the Blood Moon Ghost King put them away.
The Blood Moon Ghost King looked over towards Zhang Ruochen and said, ”That Wangfei has used the holy decree of a Heavenly Realm Saint, her speed is not below mine, and she can no longer catch up with her. The rest of those Eight Dragon Martial Saints, do they need to be cleaned up?”
The Eight Dragons Martial Saints of the Green Dragon Dynasty were also fleeing for their lives, only that they weren’t fleeing fast enough for the Blood Moon Ghost King to chase after them with all his might and still be able to kill some of them.
“Forget it, after the destruction of the Green Dragon Dynasty, they are already homeless, there’s no need to drive them to extinction.”Zhang Ruochen said.
Zhang Ruochen had taken away the World Spirit of the Green Dragon Market Realm, which wasn’t something honourable, and now, it would be too much to drive them to extinction!
Besides, even if those Eight Dragon Martial Saints escaped, they wouldn’t be much of a threat to Zhang Ruochen, and with Zhang Ruochen’s cultivation speed, he would soon leave them far behind.
Why would a strong dragon bother with a scaly snake?
The Blood Moon Ghost King didn’t ask for anything else and returned to the Scroll World to continue his cultivation.
“The Blood Moon Ghost King’s cultivation is truly terrifying, enough to rival several people on the Heroic Fugue, what exactly was your means to trick her into coming around in the first place?”Huang Yichen’s eyes blinked as he asked curiously.
“It wasn’t a beauty trick anyway.”Zhang Ruochen said half-jokingly.
Zhang Ruochen collected the five Saint Sources of the five Nine Dragons Martial Saints, and at the same time, struck the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword out, allowing it to refine the battle armaments that were left behind by the five Nine Dragons Martial Saints.
All five Saint Sources emitted divine holy light, as bright and eye-catching as the stars, and within the Saint Sources, each had a dragon shaped soul shadow that appeared to be alive and lifelike.
“Five Sacred Sources can be given to those indigenous human Half-Saints in the Scrolls World to refine and absorb, and it’s not certain that they will be able to create five Saints out of them.”
Zhang Ruochen knew that Princess Baili and Xiao Hei had included a good number of Indigenous Human Half-Saints into the Touhou Scroll, so it was entirely possible to include them in the Ming Clan.
“Zhang Ruochen, you must leave me the five Saint Sources, I’m going to become a Saint soon and need a lot of nutrients.”
The Sacred Eating Flower rushed over and directly stretched out its five roots, asking Zhang Ruochen for the Sacred Source.
After the Saint Eating Flower had absorbed the essence and blood of that Eight Dragon Martial Saint, the fruit had finally ripened, emitting a radiant silver aura and a tantalising fragrance.
As long as it settled down for a while longer, it would refine the “virtual body” in the fruit and reach the level of unity between the real and the virtual, then it would be able to truly cross into the Saint realm.
Of course, even now, the Sacred Eating Flower was quite powerful and could abuse lower realm Saints.
Zhang Ruochen frowned and said, “The nutrients you have to absorb to become a Saint are also too much, ten times more than others.”
“As long as I become a Saint, the battle power that I possess will also far exceed that of other Saints, and it won’t be difficult to kill enemies across realms.”The Saint Eating Flower said.
“Since that’s the case, it’s all the more reason why I can’t hand over the Saint Source to you.”Zhang Ruochen said.
With the current strength of the Sacred Eating Flower, it had already surpassed Zhang Ruochen.
If it was allowed to become a Saint, Zhang Ruochen would most likely not be able to suppress it and would be subject to its backlash.
The voice of the Sacred Eating Flower was childish, yet it carried a hostile aura as it said, “Aren’t you afraid that I will turn my back on you right now? Eat you as my master?”
“You can try and see if I can suppress you.”After a pause, Zhang Ruochen added, “It just so happens that I’m interested in that fruit you produced, and I wonder what it tastes like?”
If it were another master, the Sacred Eating Flower would have already snapped and devoured him.
However, Zhang Ruochen was different, making it feel scornful and not daring to strike easily.
The Sacred Flower Eater fell into silence and eventually chose to compromise, not striking out and returning to Zhang Ruochen’s body.
It had to be said that the Sacred Eating Flower was indeed a double-edged sword, used well, it could multiply Zhang Ruochen’s battle power. Used poorly, it could injure himself.
“I must refine the Sacred Dan Qi in my body as soon as possible and raise my cultivation realm, otherwise, the Sacred Eating Flower will become my greatest threat.”Zhang Ruochen secretly said.
