The death of Saint Yasher caused the Death Knight to be incomparably angry, and at the same time, he also felt shocked.
One had to know that Saint Yasher’s strength was enough to compete with a Xuan Huang Realm Saint, and under his full power, he couldn’t even block one of Zhang Ruochen’s swords.
How powerful must Zhang Ruochen’s sword be?
Even if he were to forcefully receive it with his powerful cultivation, I was afraid that he might not be able to retreat in one piece.
After Zhang Ruochen attacked Sword 7, he was slightly disengaged and was in the process of regathering his holy qi when the Death Knight projected the spear in his hand, dragging out a dozens of metres long tail and striking Zhang Ruochen’s chest.
The Death God Knight had seized an excellent moment, leaving Zhang Ruochen without even a chance to perform Spatial Shift, and could only catch the spear that flew in rapidly.
Zhang Ruochen mobilised the few holy qi he had and carried it to his arms, pinching the hilt of his sword with one hand and pressing the hilt with the other as he crossed his sword to resist.
“Rumble.”
The tip of the spear collided with the body of the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword.
The powerful impact caused Zhang Ruochen to fly out, all the way to tens of miles away.
Even though he was wearing the Ten Saints Blood Armour, Zhang Ruochen’s chest, however, still had dense cracks appearing, almost all of his internal organs shattered, and half of his body collapsed.
Fortunately, Zhang Ruochen had already become a Saint in flesh, so he was only seriously injured.
If it were any other Lower Realm Saint, suffering this blow, his flesh would have definitely been turned into a mass of bloody mud, and even his Saint Soul would have gone up in smoke.
Of course, Zhang Ruochen could only rely on his strong spiritual power at the moment to barely stay awake and not faint.
“What a terrifying strike, with my current cultivation level, even if I use all my means, I’m probably not a match for the Death Knight. Only when I break through to the Middle Realm Saint realm will I be able to separate myself from him.”
Zhang Ruochen clenched his teeth and tried to support his heavily injured body.
For a fleshly cultivator, the fleshly body would become stronger and more powerful every time it was shattered by a beating and after the injuries were healed.
“Zhang Ruochen, it’s time for everything to end!”
The Death Knight did not give Zhang Ruochen a chance to recover from his injuries, grabbing the spear and striking another blow, striking Zhang Ruochen’s brow.
Right at the last moment, Zhang Ruochen executed Spatial Shift, crossing space and arriving at the edge of the Dragonfire Island.
Xiao Hei rushed over and transformed into a tens of metres tall black giant cat, holding Zhang Ruochen’s body and rushing towards the direction where Ao Xinyan was.
At this moment, Ao Xinyan was also under immense pressure, holding the door seal with both hands, her arms trembling as she softly shouted, “Open it! Flame Gate.”
The flame barrier that encased the Dragonfire Island slowly, opened a gap.
Xiao Hei, Zhang Ruochen, and Ao Xinyan transformed into three light shuttles, passing through the gap and rushing into into the Dragonfire Island.
“Rumble.”
The moment they rushed into the Dragonfire Island, the attack struck by the Death Knight struck on top of the flame barrier behind them, hitting it and causing a circle of ripples to appear on the flame barrier.
“He escaped again!”
The Death God Knight was so angry that he fled into a frenzy, Zhang Ruochen had actually escaped from his hands three times in a row.
The main thing was that every time he escaped, Zhang Ruochen’s strength grew by a large margin.
The Death Knight was already a little worried that the next time he faced Zhang Ruochen again, would he still be able to suppress him?
The more frustrated he was, the more courageous he became, and the stronger he became in battle.
Such an enemy was the most terrifying!
The Death Knight was very unwilling, wanting to force his way through the Dragon Fire Island, chasing after him and exterminating Zhang Ruochen at all costs.
However, even with his full strength, when he attacked on top of the flame barrier, he was bounced out and suffered some light injuries instead.
The Death Knight didn’t dare to strike again, so he only stayed at the periphery of the Dragon Flame Island, looking at Zhang Ruochen standing on the island, and coldly grunted, “I don’t believe that you’ll be able to hide on the island for the rest of your life, and when you come out, it’ll be the time for you to die.”
Zhang Ruochen had already taken the Fung Chun Pill and relied on the Ten Sacred Blood Armour to support his severely injured body and keep it upright, his face was pale, yet he still revealed a bemused smile, “When I walk out of the Dragon Flame Island, the one who will die, will definitely be you.”
Afterwards, Zhang Ruochen, Ao Xinyan, and Little Black turned around and travelled towards the depths of Dragonfire Island.
The centre of Dragonfire Island.
The Heaven Swallowing Devil Dragon stood at the top of the volcano, looking out at the direction where Zhang Ruochen and the Death Knight had fought earlier, revealing a puzzled expression, “Surprisingly, there are two parties that have intruded into the Sea of Yin and Yang… Is it from the Human Race, or is it from a certain Savage Beast Race?”
The Xuan Hedgehog Sacred Beast stood on the right side of the Heaven Swallowing Demon Dragon and said, “One of the parties must be the mysterious sword cultivator that killed Sacred Dragon Envoy Ye Yun and Sacred Dragon Envoy Ye Hong. Everyone heard that sword sound just now. A sword stabbing out and the sound of the sword chirping being able to travel thousands of miles away shows that this person’s attainments in the Dao of the Sword are quite profound, even if he hasn’t reached Sword Saint, he is not far away from Sword Saint.”
The Snow Chaste Demoness, who had a life snake tail, stood on the left side of the Heaven Swallowing Demon Dragon and said, “The sword cultivator who killed the two Sacred Dragon Envoys isn’t considered to be any kind of supreme powerhouse, so how is he able to have such high attainments in the Dao of the Sword?”
“That means that this person is a sword dao wizard.”The Xuan Hedgehog Sacred Beast said.
“A Sword Dao wizard?”
The Heaven Swallowing Demon Dragon’s eyes lit up as he said, “Could it be that Human Realm Son who was ranked fourth on the Half-Saint List back then, Xue Wuyi? Or perhaps …… Zhang Ruochen?”
Thinking of this, the Heaven Devouring Demon Dragon could no longer remain calm.
Whether it was Xue Wuye or Zhang Ruochen, they were both great enemies of the Human Race in his eyes, and as long as he met them, he would definitely get rid of them.
Suddenly, Sage Xuan Hedgehog’s eyes narrowed as he said, “Someone has opened the Flame Gate and broken into into the Dragon Fire Island.”
“Good timing, this seat will go kill him now.”
A powerful battle intent surged within the Heaven Swallowing Demon Dragon’s body, and his blood boiled.
Saint Xuan Hedgehog hastened to advise, “That person seemed to be struggling to kill the two Sacred Dragon Envoys, he is by no means a strong person, so why is it necessary for Your Highness to personally take action? This Saint and the Snow Chaste Demoness rushed over and were enough to capture him.”
The Snow Chastity Demoness smiled with a beaming smile, her face bearing a few winks above as she said, “Your Highness, you should still hurry to collect the Spirit Dragon Flame, and as for that mysterious sword cultivator, just leave it to this Saint and the Xuan Hedgehog Sage.”
The Heaven Swallowing Demon Dragon pondered for a moment and said, “Alright, this seat will go and collect the Spirit Dragon Flame first. As a reminder to you all, if, that mysterious sword cultivator, is the Timeless Transmitter Zhang Ruochen, you must be extremely careful.”
The Xuan Hedgehog Sacred Beast and the Snow Chaste Demoness said at the same time, “Subordinate understands.”
Although, they said this on their lips, in their hearts, they did not take the Heaven Swallowing Demon Dragon’s words seriously. After all, that Time Successor, not long ago, was still a Half Saint. Now, even if it was even stronger, it would at most reach the Lower Realm Saint realm.
With their cultivation levels, should they need to fear a Lower Realm Saint?
The Heaven Swallowing Demon Dragon and the nine Saint Beasts of Ancestral Dragon Mountain jumped down from the crater and went forward to collect the Spirit Dragon Flame.
The Xuan Hedgehog Sacred Beast and the Snow Chaste Demoness, on the other hand, rushed towards the eastern side of the Dragon Flame Island, searching for any traces of the beings that had just intruded into the Dragon Flame Island.
This time, Zhang Ruochen was extremely injured, and while running his gongfu to absorb the dan qi of the Fung Chun Dan, he instructed Little Black, saying, “The battle between me and the Death Knight just now must have already alerted the Ancestral Dragon Mountain Sacred Beasts that ascended into the Dragonfire Island, and they’ll soon find their way over.”
“So what if they find them over, this Emperor can exterminate them with just one claw.”Little Black said disdainfully.
Ao Xin Yan said, “The strength of each of those Saint Beasts of Ancestral Dragon Mountain is not below you and Zhang Ruochen. If one comes, perhaps you can still handle it. If two come, I’m afraid Zhang Ruochen and I will both die here.”
Zhang Ruochen said, “Buy me half an hour’s time, and when my injuries heal, if one Saint Beast comes, kill one. If two Saint Beasts come, kill a pair.”
Just now, Little Black was just blowing smoke, in fact, it wasn’t even gullible. Thus, it took out the Saint Stones and Spirit Crystals, buried them in the dirt, and began to set up the formation.
Dragonfire Island wasn’t small, instead, it was still quite vast, towering over large and small rocky peaks. In some of these places, the rocks melted and turned into lava lakes.
In addition to that, on the Dragonfire Island, there were also some dangerous places that gave birth to some terrifying beings.
The Xuan Hedgehog Sacred Beast and the Snow Chaste Demoness moved forward cautiously, not daring to venture in, in case they startled the powerful living beings on the Dragonfire Island, they would also die without a burial place.
The Xuan Hedgehog Sacred Beast’s sense of smell was keen, and in the air, it smelled a faint human scent and said, “They’re nearby.”
The pair of charming eyes of the Snow Chaste Demoness observed the surroundings and let out a melodious laughter like a silver bell, “Since they’re hiding in the shadows and won’t come out, this Saint will use the Ancestral Artifacts to destroy all of this place.”
The Snow Chaste Demoness opened her mouth and spat out an exquisite jade mirror.
The jade mirror, which was only the size of a fingernail cap at first, became more and more enormous after it rose into the air and flew up. In the end, the jade mirror was like a bright round moon, hanging a hundred feet in the air.
The Snow Chaste Demoness was the Barbarian Beast Queen of the Original Kong Mountain Range, and had already become a Saint five hundred years ago, her cultivation was incomparably deep, and the Saintly Might that emanated from her made even Xiao Hei, who was hidden inside the formation, secretly startled.
“Girl, do you know who she is?”
Little Black was a little worried because, with its current strength, it was even weaker than the Snow Chaste Demoness, and at most, it could only keep her in check.
However, who would deal with the Xuan Hedgehog Sacred Beast?
With the strength of the Xuan Hedgehog Sacred Beast, it was enough to kill Ao Xin Yan and the severely injured Zhang Ruochen.
Ao Xin Yan hurriedly told Little Black the identity of the Snow Chaste Demoness.
After hearing this, Little Black heatedly laughed and rushed out from inside the formation, calling out from afar, “Queen Xuezhen, please put away your Ancestral Weapons first, this Saint is from the Jiu Li Cat Clan, and does not have any malicious intent towards you.”
Seeing a cat walk out from inside a pile of messy rocks, the Snow Chaste Demoness was a little surprised and did not strike her Ancestral Weapon, saying suspiciously, “Are you really a Saint Beast from the Jiu Li Cat Clan? How did you break into into the Yin Yang Sea?”
In the Barbarian Mysterious Realm, the Nine Dawn Palace was one of the few powerful forces that could arm wrestle with the Ancestral Dragon Mountain, thus, the Snow Chaste Demon Ji didn’t dare to take Xiao Hei lightly.
Xiao Hei wanted to stall for time, so he let out a long sigh, “Please let this Saint slowly tell you what’s really going on, this matter, it’s a long story ……”
The Xuan Hedgehog Sacred Beast suspected Xiao Hei’s identity and interrupted, saying in a cold voice, “This Sacred Beast clearly smells the scent of a human, indicating that there are human experts hiding nearby.”
Being exposed so quickly, Little Black felt quite defeated, yet he still maintained his composure and said, “You guessed right! This Saint indeed captured two humans and originally wanted to take it all for himself. Since I let you guys find out, then, we’ll all eat it together. How?”
The Xuan Hedgehog Sacred Beast and the Snow Chaste Demoness were both old monsters who had lived for nearly a thousand years, so would they believe Xiao Hei’s nonsense.
“Destroy it.”
They glanced at each other, and then, almost at the same time, they struck out attacking means to suppress Little Black.
