“The Golden Bat Python is a seventh-ranked superior savage beast, quite rare, and an adult Golden Bat Python is capable of fighting a Saint of the Tong Tian realm with just the power that erupts from itself. Furthermore, the Golden Bat Python’s body is pregnant with intense poison, spitting out poisonous mist that even True Saints would be in big trouble if they were to dip into it.”
Zhang Ruochen stepped on the fallen leaves and explained as he walked forward.
Qing Mo’s pretty face turned white with fear and her legs went weak, not daring to enter the forest even more.
Suddenly, Zhang Ruochen stopped his footsteps and let out a soft eek from his mouth as he stared at a certain direction in the forest and muttered to himself, “The scent of the Immortal Blood Race.”
“Wow…”
Zhang Ruochen released his spiritual energy and mobilised the spiritual qi of the heavens and earth, condensing it into a large semi-transparent spherical cocoon that wrapped around him and Qing Mo.
The translucent spherical cocoon, rolling rapidly through the forest, blended with the surrounding natural environment, heading in the direction that emitted the aura of the Immortal Blood Race.
Not long after, Zhang Ruochen and Qing Mo saw the figure of an Immortal Blood Clan member on the banks of a stream.
“It’s him.”
Zhang Ruochen recognised the Immortal Blood Clan member, who was quite old, from the Qingtian Clan, with a cultivation of the Earth-Thoroughness Realm, and had once been trapped in a Spatial Maze, before Zhu Qingyi used two Female Saints to exchange him back.
Qing Mo was a little curious and said, “How come he is the only one, where are the other Blood Saints of the Immortal Blood Clan? Did they all die out?”
“Follow up, we might be able to find traces of other Immortal Blood Race Blood Saints.”
Zhang Ruochen didn’t make an immediate move, after all, that Thoroughfare Realm Blood Saint wasn’t a core figure of the Immortal Blood Clan, so even if he was beheaded, there wouldn’t be much significance.
Moreover, once the siege failed, it was a case of alerting the snakes.
This mountain forest was quite vast, filled with sky-high trees, some of which were full of spirituality and had grown for at least ten thousand years. Even the vines entwined around the trunks of the trees were one or two metres thick, as if they were black scaly dragons.
In the forest, a dense white mist filled the air, capable of affecting the cultivator’s vision and spiritual power.
On the ground, Zhang Ruochen found some traces of ancient formations, and the formation inscriptions engraved on the stones were very complex and arcane.
Unfortunately, Zhang Ruochen’s attainments in formations were not high enough to repair the remnants of the formations here, otherwise, those remnants of formations said that they would not necessarily be able to be lined up for a great deal of use.
That Earth Thoroughfare Realm Blood Saint was very careful and cautious, stopping every now and then to look around to ensure that no cultivators were following him.
Arriving next to an ancient tree with a diameter of six or seven metres, that Earth Thoroughfare Realm Blood Saint came to a complete stop, and then, taking out a jade bottle from inside his sleeve, he said, “Lord Blood General, this Saint has personally returned to the barracks to fetch the Antidote Sacred Elixir, which should be able to help dissolve the Golden Bat Python’s poison in your body.”
“Wow–”
A black aerosol flew down around the tree trunk and landed on the ground, coalescing into a slender figure. She was dressed in a metaphysical black robe and a veil, and she had an evil and mysterious aura about her.
Zhang Ruochen recognised her with just a glance, and it was none other than the disciple of the Middle Winning King – Zhu Qingyi.
Even in her wide robe, one could still see the rounded arc formed by a pair of puffy peaks on Zhu Qingyi’s chest, all the way upwards, and above the veil, a pair of eyes was revealing a tired look.
On a Saint’s body, being able to see a tired look, then, it was certain that something had definitely gone terribly wrong with this Saint’s body or Saint Soul.
Zhu Qingyi’s voice was quite cold as she asked, “Does the Vice Commander know about the situation at Immortal Machine Mountain, and when will he arrive?”
That Earth Thoroughfare Realm Blood Saint said, “The Vice Commander has encountered a rather difficult opponent and cannot get away for the time being.”
“Just as well. There aren’t any powerful characters in the Immortal Machine Mountain for the time being, so as long as I dissolve the toxins in my body, I should be able to handle it.”
Zhu Qingyi stretched out a slender jade hand and grabbed it forward, a wisp of holy qi overflowed between her fingers and rolled up the jade bottle in the hands of that Thorough Earth Realm Blood Saint.
Right at this moment, a strange change occurred.
A vortex emerged, and then, the jade bottle containing the Antidote Holy Pill unexpectedly disappeared out of thin air.
“What person?”
Zhu Qingyi gave a cold shout.
Immediately after, a powerful fluctuation of holy qi surged out from her body. A single leaf rustled downwards and before it could reach the ground, it was shattered into pieces by the invisible forceful Qi.
“Roar.”
That Earth-Thorizon Realm Blood Saint roared, spitting out a piece of blood mist from his mouth, and behind him, a tens of feet tall blood-red war general silhouette coalesced.
“Ta da.”
Footsteps sounded without slowing down.
A moment later, Zhang Ruochen, dressed in a white suit, stepped out from the mist, playing with a jade bottle in his hand, opening the cap and bringing out a white Holy Dan from within.
“Ice Toad Pill, it really is an invaluable Healing Holy Pill.”
Zhang Ruochen put the Ice Toad Pill back into the jade bottle, and with a smile on his face, he stared at Zhu Qingyi, who was standing opposite him, and said, “Miss Zhu, I didn’t expect that we would meet again so soon, right?”Zhu Qingyi’s eyes condensed as she said in a cold voice, “How dare you, how dare you snatch this Saint’s Sacred Pill, do you really think that this Saint can’t do anything about you?”
Zhang Ruochen said, “If Miss Zhu was still at her peak, I would definitely be no match for you, so naturally I wouldn’t dare to be so bold. As for now, how many percent of your power can Miss Zhu still exert?”
Zhu Qingyi gave an evil smile and said, “With that little strength of yours, without the aid of an array, there is no need for this Saint to personally take action to suppress you. Burying Heart Blood Saint, take him down for me, remember, don’t kill him directly, just chop off his hands and feet first.”
Zhu Qingyi had crossed paths with Zhang Ruochen and knew that his mental strength was only fifty-two steps, at most equivalent to that of a Xuan Huang Realm Saint.
The Burying Heart Blood Saint had been trapped inside the Spatial Maze and almost died a horrible death, and had long hated Zhang Ruochen to the bone.
Now that Zhang Ruochen had reappeared, he naturally had no qualms about controlling the tens of feet tall blood-red War General silhouette, stretching out a handprint as huge as a house and grabbing at Zhang Ruochen.
“Wow!”
Qing Mo swept out from behind Zhang Ruochen, her slender finger pointing forward, and then, a green-coloured vine flew out from her fingertip, entangling that tens of feet tall blood-red War General’s shadow.
With a bang, the blood-red war general could not withstand the strength of the vine and burst apart, turning into a cloud of blood mist.
The Burying Heart Blood Saint’s eyes sank as he stared at Qing Mo’s body and said, “You’re not human?”
Qing Mo broke the Burying Heart Blood Saint’s means of attack and gained a few more points of confidence, crossing her arms and saying, “Do you care if I’m a human or not? Anyway, if you want to deal with my family’s son, you must first pass through me.”
“Just by you?”
The Burying Heart Blood Saint had already cultivated for over six hundred years and was a ferocious figure in the Northern Domain, so would he put a little girl in his eyes.
“Boom.”
The Burying Heart Blood Saint stomped his foot on the ground, then, with the palm of his foot as the centre, dozens of blood-red lines surged out, spreading towards Qing Mo.
Qing Mo also shot out dozens of vines, which collided with the blood-red lines shot out by the Burying Heart Blood Saint, erupting into a loud rumbling sound, and all of the sky-scraping ancient trees crumbled and turned into wood dust.
Instead, some of the remnant formations in the forest were actually activated, forming a defensive force that blocked the power force of the two of them. Otherwise, the destructive force formed by the battle would have spread even wider.
Zhang Ruochen’s attention, which had been focussed on Zhu Qingyi’s body, moved his lips and said, “Qing Mo, fight quickly, this Zhu girl is my main target.”Qing Mo no longer held back, taking out a silver-coloured chopper, he erupted into a blistering speed and swung it over.
The Burying Heart Blood Saint took out a Saint Artifact and moved forward to fend it off.
“Prick-la.”
As if cutting through tofu, the silver kitchen knife chopped through the holy weapon, splitting on the Burying Heart Blood Saint’s body, chopping off one of his left arms, blood flowing out, while his body was sent flying backwards by the impact of the knife aura.
“How is it possible ……”
The Burying Heart Blood Saint was very upset, with his profound cultivation, how could he not even be able to block a blade from a little girl?
Zhu Qingyi sensed something bad and knew that he had underestimated Qing Mo’s strength, so, without waiting any longer, he stretched out his hands and formed a seal.
“Wow–”
A huge black sword coalesced out in front of her, trailing out a waterfall of sword awnings as it swung down towards Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen stood still as a ball of lightning light, three feet in diameter, automatically coalesced and wrapped around his body.
The black giant sword chopped on top of the ball of lightning light, emitting a loud rumbling sound, with a lightning light pattern escaping in all directions, causing the soil to melt, leaving a golden magma stream on the ground.
“Is this the strength of a Tong Tian Blood General?”
Zhang Ruochen laughed and stretched out a finger, pointing it forwards and striking the tip of the huge black sword.
“Splat!”
The black giant sword hanging in mid-air split into pieces, turning into strands of black evil mist that flowed back into Zhu Qingyi’s body.
At this moment, Zhang Ruochen was even more certain that something had gone terribly wrong with Zhu Qingyi’s body, and he was unable to utilise even 10% of his power in his heyday.
A golden mist surfaced on Zhu Qingyi’s forehead, and in her eyes, a pained look flickered as she clenched her teeth and said, “The strength of your spiritual power, it has reached the fifty-third rank?”
“That’s right.”Zhang Ruochen said.
“If I wasn’t suffering from a severe poison, even if you possessed a fifty-three-step spiritual strength, it would have been a breeze for me to suppress you.”Zhu Qingyi said.
“Perhaps!”
Zhang Ruochen took a step towards her and said, “Actually, I’m also heavily injured, and I didn’t take much advantage of you, so it can only be considered a fair fight.”
“Blood Rain Passage Technique.”
The Burying Heart Blood Saint was severely injured by Qing Mo, and had no choice but to sacrifice his own blood to the gods in exchange for several times the power.
The white mist in the sky above, turned into a blood mist, with scarlet blood rain descending down, colouring the land into blood red.
The aura emanating from the Burying Heart Blood Saint became stronger and stronger, soon surpassing the Earth-Thorizon Realm and reaching the level of a Heaven-Transcending Realm Saint, and it continued to get stronger.
Zhu Qingyi revealed a joyful colour and said, “Burying Heart Blood Saint with the fastest speed, behead the two of them, there is no need to leave them alive.”
The Tongshen Method was a desperate move, and once it was performed, it was enough to explode several times, or even ten times, their battle power.
Zhang Ruochen frowned slightly, and was about to send a message to Qing Mo, telling her to retreat immediately.
However, as he stared over towards Qing Mo, he was surprised to see that an incomparably powerful aura had also erupted from her body, accompanied by an eye-catching silver light.
That was the aura emanating from the silver chopper.
Qing Mo had stimulated the origin power of the silver kitchen knife, and the power fluctuations released from the knife were surprisingly even more powerful than the power fluctuations gushing out from the Burial Heart Blood Saint’s body.
……
There will be another chapter later, slightly late, around one o’clock.
