Becoming a Saint at less than a hundred years old was definitely a heavenly talent, yet he was said to be a frog at the bottom of a well, Xue Sheng was so furious that his hair stood upside down, and flames emerged from the top of his head.
Xue Sheng’s hands clasped together, and the green-coloured Saint Sword flying above his head trembled violently, releasing thousands of sword qi.
However, Qiu Lanshan stopped him and said, “You are not his opponent, retreat first.”
“Academy Master, I’m not convinced.”
Xue Sheng’s eyes were bloodshot, unwilling to withdraw his sword.
A circle of invisible qi surged out from Qiu Lanshan’s body, imprisoning Xue Sheng, and then, his gaze majestically stared at Zhang Ruochen, who stood opposite him, and said, “Your Excellency had a right saying earlier, words, you can’t say them indiscriminately. Do you know how much damage such a comment as a frog at the bottom of a well can do to a Saint’s reputation? Xue Sheng is unconvinced, and this Saint is also very unconvinced. You said that you were able to use Zhu Qingyi’s life in exchange for something more important. What is this, more important thing, that you are referring to?”
Zhang Ruochen said, “No comment.”
Qiu Lanshan was not a person with a profound state of mind, and hearing Zhang Ruochen reply like this, he was naturally quite annoyed that a mere junior had given him so little face.
“Regardless of whether you have defected to the Immortal Blood Clan or not, since you prevented us from killing Zhu Shengyi, you are an enemy of the entire human race.”
Qiu Lanshan was no longer polite as he stretched out two fingers and pinched them into a sword technique.
A powerful sword intent gathered from the four directions of east, south, west, and north, forming a sword domain that locked onto Zhang Ruochen, making it impossible for him to escape.
Zhang Ruochen gently nodded and said, “The sword dao attainment is not bad, surprisingly, he has already cultivated the Sword Four to a great success.”
Sword Four, represented the four directions of Heaven and Earth.
With Zhang Ruochen’s attainments in Sword Dao, he could see through Qiu Lanshan’s achievements in Sword Dao with a single glance.
“Wow!”
On Qiu Lanshan’s finger, a rice grain sized sword qi was spinning rapidly, forming four circles of holy light, which then transformed into a series of sword qi that struck Zhang Ruochen’s brow.
This was a killing move to take Zhang Ruochen’s life.
Zhang Ruochen’s brows furrowed even tighter, this person had directly struck at him without getting the facts straight. To act in such a manner was truly chilling.
“You dare.”
Qing Mo’s palms, simultaneously pressed forward.
The location between his palms emitted an eye-catching silver light, and a chopper was spinning rapidly, forming a huge silver blade qi vortex.
“Rumble.”
The sword qi struck at the centre of the silver vortex, colliding fiercely, and then, the two of them simultaneously shot backwards in an inverted burst, pulling away a long distance.
Those other human saints were also affected by the impact of the blade and sword qi, and all of them retreated into the distance.
Qiu Lan Shan revealed an incredulous expression, not thinking that a soft and weak little girl would be able to block him from hitting a finger sword with all his might.
The other human cultivators were even more surprised.
“A little maid is just a little maid, but she was able to spar with Qiu Lan Shan, being the master, I’m afraid that mysterious man is even more powerful.”
“No wonder he dared to say that Xue Sheng is a frog in the bottom of a well, so he has a strong bottom.”
“What exactly is the origin of that mysterious man, how come I didn’t know that the Kunlun Realm had such a figure before?”
……
As the chatter continued, Qiu Lanshan felt even more ashamed of his face as he reached out to the void and a white light flew out from his brow, coalescing into a serpentine holy sword.
That leader of the Black Market’s One Piece Hall was a mortal enemy of Qiu Lan Shan, and when he saw the serpentine holy sword in Qiu Lan Shan’s hand, an intimidating light appeared in his eyes as he laughed, “The Underworld Serpent Sword that is ranked eighty-fourth in the Thousand Stripes Sacred Artifacts Spectrum, Qiu Lan Shan is finally going to use his true strength.”
Unwilling to show weakness, Qing Mo mobilised the Saint Qi in his body and injected it into the silver chopper in a steady stream, preparing to stimulate the origin power in the blade.
Right at this moment, Zhang Ruochen smelled a faint scent of blood and his eyes looked to the north.
To the north of Rim Lake, a blood mist rose up.
In the blood mist, a huge silhouette was running rapidly, and with every step that fell, a loud noise would be emitted and the earth would tremble.
Finally, the huge silhouette rushed out of the blood mist, stretching out an iron fist the size of a water tank and striking at Qiu Lan Shan.
As soon as the fist print came out, a violent wind blew between heaven and earth, emitting a whistling sound.
Qiu Lan Shan’s face changed, knowing that it was the Immortal Blood Race’s absolute powerhouse that had arrived, so he urged the Underworld Serpent Sword with all his might, stimulating the Thousand Stripes Destruction Power in the sword and swinging it over.
“Rumble.”
On his fist, thousands of Saint Dao rules intertwined together, shattering all the sword qi with an overwhelmingly powerful force, colliding directly with the Underworld Serpent Sword.
Qiu Lan Shan only felt an iron mountain crashing into his mountain, his body flew backwards uncontrollably, crashing down to the surface of the rim lake, all the internal organs were misplaced, and intense pain was transmitted.
“What a terrifying power.”Qiu Lan Shan secretly said.
Only to see, a three feet tall Blood Saint stood by the lakeshore, wearing battle armour, with four blood wings that covered the sky on his back, giving people a mountainous feeling.
It was none other than the Heavenly Blood General of the Devil Heaven Clan, the Wind Destroying Blood Saint.
All the saints of the human race present also recognised the Wind Destroying Blood Saint, revealing looks of fear.
One must know that the ferocious reputation of the Wind Destroying Blood Saint was no different from Zhu Qingyi’s.
“Good timing, it’s just right to take this opportunity to get rid of the two Tong Tian Blood Generals in one go.”
Although Qiu Lan Shan was afraid of the mighty strength of the Wind Destroying Blood Saint, there were dozens of Human Saints present, so there was no need to be afraid of him.
The Wind Destroying Blood Saint stood straight by the lake, his strong body, like an unshakable tower of blood, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, with a sneer on his face, “Just with you people?”
There was another blood cloud that flew in from afar, hovering at the fringe of the rim lake.
The Tongtian Blood General of the Qi Tian Clan, the Empyrean Blood Saint, wearing a golden armour and holding a golden lance, flew out from the blood cloud.
There was a loud boom.
The Empty Front Blood Saint landed on the ground, and the Saint Dao power emanating from his body shook the two closest Martial City Chancery Elders to the point that they flew out horizontally.
In the next moment, the Heaven-Sealing Clan’s Heaven-Spanning Blood General, the Four Sword Blood Saint, stepped out from the forest, growing four arms, each hand was cupping a coldly glowing Saint Sword.
The arrival of three Heavenly Blood Generals in a row, each one of them fierce and renowned characters, instantly, caused the atmosphere to become tense.
As for Xue Sheng, when he saw the Tong Tian Blood Generals in their peak state, he was actually so frightened that his face turned pale and he hid amongst the other human saints.
Even Qiu Lanshan was no longer as strong as he had been just a moment ago, and his face became somewhat sullen.
The Wind Destroying Blood Saint didn’t put them in his eyes, and with a pair of eyes as huge as bowl mouths, he stared in the direction of Zhang Ruochen and Qing Mo, and sneered, “It really is a narrow road between enemies, how have you two been?”
Zhang Ruochen smiled and said, “Fine.”
“Hand over Zhu Qingyi and this Saint will leave you with a whole body.”The Wind Destroying Blood Saint said.
Zhang Ruochen said, “Right now, the one who holds the leverage is me, and this is the tone you use to negotiate terms?”
“Who is negotiating conditions with you? I am asking you to die.”
The Wind Destroying Blood Saint didn’t care that much about Zhu Qingyi’s life and death, he was just worried that he wouldn’t be able to explain himself to Stupendous Phoenix City and the Central Winning King well, which was why he mentioned that sentence.
Since Zhang Ruochen refused to release him, he did not say any more, and he directly just punched out a fist seal and blasted over.
It had to be said that a Tong Tian Blood General level figure was indeed extraordinary.
Just as the Wind Destroying Blood Saint struck out a fist seal, everything in front of Zhang Ruochen’s eyes turned blood red. From this, it could be seen that this fist seal caused the rules of heaven and earth to undergo some subtle changes.
In the distance, Qiu Lanshan’s face became incomparably ugly, this fist print struck by the Wind Destruction Blood Saint was actually even more powerful than the previous strike. With this single punch, I’m afraid that it would be able to injure him.
“Wow…”
Zhang Ruochen appeared unperturbed as he clenched his hands into the void and executed a spatial distortion move, dislodging the force of the Wind-Mitigating Blood Saint’s fist imprint to the side and flying out from his right side.
A strange colour appeared in the eyes of the Wind Destroying Blood Saint, somewhat puzzled as to how such a dominating punch could be deflected?
By the time he collected his punch and steadied himself, Zhang Ruochen and Qing Mo had already reached the surface of the Marginal Lake, rushing towards the Marginless Island in the centre of the lake.
“There is a crippled killing formation left behind by a great saint in the Marginal Lake, and they actually dared to go straight through it.”
“The two of them should also have no choice but to do so, after all, their opponent is the Wind Destroying Blood Saint, and only by choosing this path can they be put to death.”
All those human cultivators no longer doubted Zhang Ruochen’s identity, yet, they all felt that he was too risky, going to break into the Marginal Lake was undoubtedly a death sentence.
The Wind Destroying Blood Saint was obviously aware that the Marginal Lake was quite dangerous, and after a slight hesitation, in the end, he still chased after him, “If you offend this Saint, there is only a path to death, no matter where you escape to, it is useless.”
Zhang Ruochen glanced behind him, a smile appearing in his eyes as he pointed his finger towards one of the locations on the lake.
“Wow-” Instantly, the killing formation was activated and a vortex appeared on the surface of the lake, with the Wind Destroying Blood Saint at the edge of the vortex.
The Wind Destroying Blood Saint’s face changed violently, and the Saint Qi in his body raced, breaking free from the vortex.
However, in the sky, there was a thunderbolt that fell and struck his neck, leaving a shocking injury.
Fortunately, his fleshly body was strong and resisted it hard, otherwise, his head would have been separated from his body.
The Wind Destroying Blood Saint looked at Zhang Ruochen, who was getting closer and closer to the Edgeless Island, and felt quite surprised as he secretly said, “This person didn’t even touch the Killing Formation, how could his attainments in Formation be so superior?”
After suffering a loss, the Wind Destroying Blood Saint didn’t dare to continue chasing after him, fearing that Zhang Ruochen would once again use the power of the Great Saint’s Remnant Formation against him.
The Saints of the Human Race were also surprised, and their eyes were about to fall out from inside their sockets.
“Who exactly is this person, how come even the Great Saint Remnant Formation can’t help him?”
“Even the Wind Destroying Blood Saint suffered a great loss, this person’s methods are truly not ordinary, no wonder he was able to capture Zhu Qingyi.”
Xue Sheng gritted his teeth and clenched his hands as his face became even more ugly, finally realising that the gap between himself and Zhang Ruochen was indeed quite huge.
On the other end, Zhang Ruochen and Qing Mo, had already ascended to the Edgeless Island.
