The Cang Lan Martial Saint lightly grunted as her Saint Qi worked violently within her body, and the pair of fire feathers on her back became even hotter, her petite body was as if it had transformed into a blazing sun that was burning.
She really struck out and attacked the Four Sword Blood Saint.
At the other end, the six female saints stood in six directions, forming a sword formation once again, with six holy awns erupting from their bodies as they attacked the Wind Destroying Blood Saint.
“Just by virtue of you guys, you also want to engage this Saint?”
The Wind Destroying Blood Saint laughed wildly, his hands unfolded, a violent storm was presented in the position between his two hands, and then, with a press of his hands forward, there was a raging storm of chaotic power that collided with the sword formation.
“Boom.”
The difference in cultivation between the two sides was too great, and almost in an instant, the sword formation was torn apart, and the six female Saints flew out in all directions as if they were falling leaves, each of them suffering some injuries on their bodies.
The Wind Destroying Blood Saint revealed two rows of sharp teeth and laughed once more as he walked over towards two of the female saints, extending two palms and lifting them up from the ground.
“Cang Lan Martial Saint, if you don’t want them to die in the hands of this Saint, you’d better put down the holy swords in your hands immediately.”The Wind Destruction Blood Saint raised his voice.
The Cang Lan Martial Saint did not put down the Saint Sword in his hand, and continued to continuously execute attacking sword techniques, forcing the Four Sword Blood Saint and the four Sword Slaves to retreat.
The female Saint who had been pinched in the right hand by the Wind Destruction Blood Saint sneered, ”Trying to use us to threaten Lord Martial Saint, you’re completely dreaming. Since we have already been defeated by you, we can only die together.”
With that, the two female Saints wanted to explode their Saint Source, but they found that their entire body’s meridians had been restrained by the Wind Destroying Blood Saint, and the Saint Qi in their bodies was simply unable to operate.
“Since the Canglan Martial Saint is so cold-blooded and heartless, you all lose the value of your existence, all of you die for me.”
The Wind Destroying Blood Saint was ready to go on a killing spree, however, right at this moment, behind him, a powerful Saint Might erupted, and a dangerous aura was rapidly approaching.
“There are still experts?”
The Wind Destroying Blood Saint felt a coldness in his back, giving birth to a strong sense of crisis, and had to use the two Female Saints as meat shields, throwing them out behind him to fend off the sneak attack from the rear.
Just after throwing the two female saints out, the Wind Destruction Blood Saint found that the powerful power fluctuation appeared right in front of him.
Only to see that a sword light came head on, and in an instant, it had reached his chest.
It was simply impossible to dodge, the Wind Destroying Blood Saint could only mobilise his entire body’s holy qi, converging it to his chest position, and then, a pillar of blood-red light, surged out madly from his chest.
“Rumble.”The two forces collided violently, and the sword light and the blood pillar collapsed at the same time.
The Wind Destroying Blood Saint took three steps backwards, and on the ground, he stepped out three deep footprints in a large pit, and a vague pain came from his chest position.
He looked towards the opposite side, an expression of incomparable surprise appearing on his face, “It’s actually you.”
Zhang Ruochen stood opposite the Wind Destroying Blood Saint, dressed in snow-white clothes and long flowing hair, with a different kind of sharp temperament, completely different from his previous soft and weak appearance.
It was him who had struck out just now.
“Gu Songzi really didn’t lie to me, the three veins have actually recondensed.”Zhang Ruochen said in his heart.
After swallowing the Vein Conjugation Pill, Zhang Ruochen could feel that the Chaotic Qi in his body, along with the Sacred Qi, raced through the Sacred Veins and Meridians, and both his Martial Cultivation and Physical Body Strength grew by a large margin.
The feeling of having one’s cultivation restored was truly incomparably comfortable, like a dying person who had been lying in a hospital bed for years, suddenly becoming as fit as a fiddle, bathing in the sunlight and enjoying life to the fullest.
“Worthy of being a Tong Tian Blood General, even though I used a sneak attack, I surprisingly still didn’t gain the slightest upper hand.”
Just now, the Wind Destroying Blood Saint took three steps back, yet, Zhang Ruochen retreated even more than him.
No wonder Qiu Lanshan, who possessed the cultivation of the Heavenly Realm, immediately fled when he saw a character of the Heavenly Blood General level showing up, the difference in strength between the two really wasn’t ordinary.
The six female saints were all dumbstruck, their eyes staring at Zhang Ruochen in unison.
“He’s actually a Martial Dao Saint as well.”
“To actually be able to beat even the Wind Destroying Blood Saint back three steps, even if he hasn’t crossed over into the Heavenly Realm, he’s definitely at the peak of the Earth-Transcending Realm.”
“It’s incredible, I always thought he was just a Spirit Power Saint.”
……
The Wind Destroying Blood Saint let out a laugh, “Your strength isn’t bad, but there is still a huge gap between you and this Saint. Within five moves, this Saint will be able to behead you.”
“Words can’t be too full.”
Zhang Ruochen’s finger pinched towards the void, and a channel of heaven and earth aura gathered over, condensing into a four-foot long white sword as he said, “Form a formation.”
The six female saints were all stunned.
However, they were all Saint realm figures, their reaction speed was not comparable to ordinary people, and they immediately executed their body techniques to join Zhang Ruochen and form a sword formation.
The Liu Li Female Saint said, “My lord, we’ll use the sword formation to launch an attack on his front, you only need to co-operate with us to stall him for a few moments, and when the Martial Saint Lord cleans up the Four Sword Blood Saints, the situation will be reversed.”
“No need to be so troublesome, I will preside over the sword formation next.”
Zhang Ruochen’s footsteps stamped twice, and the longsword in his hand was raised flat, and instantly, he merged with the sword formation formed by the six female saints.
The six-member sword formation turned into a seven-member sword formation, becoming even more powerful, and the range covered by the sword formation was doubled.
The six female saints were once again stunned and looked at each other.
How could he be proficient in their sword formation, had he studied it before?
That wasn’t right, even if he had studied sword formations before, without practising and bonding with them for a long period of time, it would be impossible for him to integrate into the sword formation so quickly.
Although the six female saints were extremely surprised in their hearts, however, they were also all quite elated because Zhang Ruochen was far more powerful than them, and after joining into the sword formation, it would inevitably increase the power of the sword formation, and it might not necessarily be impossible to fight against an Empyrean Blood General.
“Any formation is unbeatable in the face of absolute strength. Exterminating Storm.”
The Exterminating Storm Blood Saint’s hands lifted up once again, executing a holy technique, and between his hands, a huge blood-red storm vortex coalesced, emitting a deafening whistling sound.
As he struck the storm out, the sky swirled and even the formation inscription of the Great Sage’s Remnant Formation was shattered one after another.
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes were as calm as water as he moved his long sword, instantly causing the sword formation to operate. The holy swords in the hands of the six female saints, all of which were not under their own control, fused with the longsword in Zhang Ruochen’s hand and swung out with a single stroke at the same time.
The blood-red storm was torn apart, and a sword qi flew out as if it was raining down on the body of the Wind Destroying Blood Saint, making banging sounds.
The Wind Destroying Blood Saint continuously retreated and kept retreating for more than ten feet before he let out a loud roar, and there was a majestic blood qi surging out from his body, forming a huge grinding disc that rotated rapidly, sending all the sword qi flying out.
“Wow–”
Another sword light stabbed out, emitting a piercing light, colliding with the blood-red grinding disc.
After a loud bang, the Wind Destroying Blood Saint fell backwards once again, breaking a row of phantom trees in a row, and fortunately, he was able to stabilise his footsteps in time, otherwise, he would have already fallen into into the Great Sage Remnant Formation.
The ferociously renowned Tong Tian Blood General was actually knocked back twice in a row, the eyes of the Wind Destroying Blood Saint became incomparably dull and cold as he said, “You guys are looking for death.”With Zhang Ruochen as the leader, the seven-man sword formation advanced rapidly, getting closer and closer to the Wind Destroying Blood Saint.
The Wind Destroying Blood Saint was furious in his heart, ever since he had met this son, everything had gone wrong, it was almost like a nemesis in his destiny. Today, even if he had to pay some price, he would still have to kill him.
The Wind Destroying Blood Saint was about to use one of his card tricks, however, the other head of the Four Sword Blood Saint could no longer hold on and was the first to lose the battle, and immediately sent a voice to the Wind Destroying Blood Saint, “Hurry up and retreat, and then come back to clean up after meeting up with the Empty Front Blood Saint.”
The Four Swords Blood Saint’s four arms, two of which had been severed, would be difficult to regrow in a short period of time, so he turned around and fled, disappearing into a blood mist in the forest.
The Wind Destroying Blood Saint knew how powerful the Canglan Martial Saint was, and with the Four Sword Blood Saint fleeing, how would he dare to continue the battle?
When the Cang Lan Martial Saint rushed back, the Wind Destroying Blood Saint had already disappeared.
The six female Saints all revealed a look of delight, the crisis was finally lifted, this time it was again thanks to this mysterious man, if it wasn’t for him, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
The eyes of the Canglan Martial Saint were cold as he suddenly stabbed out a sword, the sword light was even more than lightning, striking at Zhang Ruochen’s brow.
Zhang Ruochen stood still, not moving at all.
The Canglan Martial Saint eventually withdrew his sword momentum, and the tip of the Holy Sword, which stopped between Zhang Ruochen’s eyebrows, did not stab down in the end.
“Why didn’t you make a move to resist?”Canglan Martial Saint said.
Zhang Ruochen laughed and said, “Knowing that you won’t kill me, why should I make a move?”
Canglan Martial Saint’s pair of eyebrows twisted slightly, somewhat helpless against the man in front of her as she withdrew her Saint Sword and said, “The Return to One Sword Formation created by the Empress herself was only passed down to the seventy-two Palace Female Saints, how did you learn it?”
Zhang Ruochen muttered, “So this sword formation is called the Returning One Sword Formation, did it evolve from within the Returning One Sword Technique?”
It seemed that he really didn’t know about the Returning One Sword Formation before.
“Did you just see them perform the Return to One Sword Formation and within a very short period of time, penetrated the mysteries of the sword formation?”Canglan Martial Saint asked.
The corner of Zhang Ruochen’s mouth rose slightly as he said, “That’s right.”The six Female Saints all revealed an incredulous expression, only those who cultivated the Return to One Sword Formation would understand how complex and esoteric the Sword Formation was, how could one possibly penetrate it without decades of time?
Just reading it once and actually learning it, it was too perverse!
“True enough.”
The Canglan Martial Saint was not surprised at all, saying, “With your powerful mental strength and sword dao attainments close to that of a Sword Saint, it’s not a strange thing to be able to make it this far.”
Zhang Ruochen humbled himself and said, “The Return to One Sword Formation is unpredictable and is able to borrow the power of the heavens and the earth, so how could it be so easy to be able to fully penetrate it? I’ve only learnt some of the skins.”
“With your attainments in the Dao of the Sword, you can be called a quasi Sword Saint. There are only a handful of characters like you in the entire Kunlun Realm, it’s impossible for one to appear out of thin air, who exactly are you?”
Cang Lan Martial Saint was also a Quasi Sword Saint and a close guard of the Empress, so she had a certain understanding of the powerful sword cultivators in the world, but Zhang Ruochen’s appearance made her feel quite surprised.
Zhang Ruochen smiled and shook his head, naturally not telling her his identity.
A look of disappointment appeared in the eyes of the Canglan Martial Saint, however, it soon seemed as if she had thought of something, so she smiled sweetly, her beautiful and moving eyes blinking a little, full of stunning flavour, and said, ”It’s not easy to come across a Quasi Sword Saint, so how about we compare swordsmanship? Only using stances, no need for Saint Qi.”
