The environment in this swamp was extremely odd, capable of interfering with the spiritual power of the cultivators, so much so that, prior to this, Zhang Ruochen and Ah Le had not detected a large number of Rakshasa Clan powerhouses gathering nearby.
It was obviously not an easy task to retreat now.
One must know that just those dozens of First Grade Marquises, each one of them had the strength to fight with a Step Saint King. What’s more, the strength of Young Monarch Ling Quan, Yang Qi, and Qian Yu was a little more powerful than a First Grade Marquis.
When Young Lord Ling Quan, Yang Qi, and Qian Yu saw the Rakshasa Princess beside Zhang Ruochen, they all felt surprised in their hearts.
Earlier, when they heard the report, they thought that it was the Saint of the Eight Realms who had rushed to the rescue of Yuan Mix, so they surrounded them. Now that it was the Rakshasa Princess, it was already too late for them to withdraw!
How should they fight now?
If they really went all out to attack and kill them, wouldn’t they have to kill Her Highness along with her?
However, if they deliberately let off steam, Zhang Ruochen wasn’t a fool, so how could he not see it.
Such a situation caused Ling Quan Shaojun, Yang Qi, Qian Yu and the others, to be caught in a dilemma, and for a moment, they didn’t even attack.
The Rakshasa Princess was also feeling chagrined, so angry that she wanted to roll her eyes, how could she always encounter such pig teammates?
Currently, Princess Rakshasa still had to utilise Zhang Ruochen’s power to crack the deepest boundary area of the Phoenix Nest with her, so for the time being, she could not suppress Zhang Ruochen.
In the Phoenix Nest, there was a high possibility that there was a treasure that she had dreamed of wanting to obtain, and that item, which was vital, could not be lost.
Princess Rakshasa’s mind was turning in a hundred directions, thinking fast about a way to break the situation.
Right at this moment, when Princess Rakshasa saw Zhang Ruochen take out a holy sword, immediately, her pupils shrunk violently.
That holy sword was the Divine Spirit Battle Weapon that Zhang Ruochen was holding.
Princess Rakshasa had once played with this Holy Sword, and although she looked as if she couldn’t look at it at the time, she was very clear that the divine power contained in the Holy Sword was definitely quite terrifying. At the very least, the likes of Ling Quan Shaojun and Yang Qi would definitely not be able to withstand that destructive force.
Once Zhang Ruochen struck that power, the top Saint realm experts of the Rakshasa Clan would have to lose a large number of them.
The Rakshasa Princess hurriedly took out a purple jade talisman and pinched it between her two fingers. Only to see that on top of that talisman, there was a bizarre blood pattern, much like snake scales.
“I have a Locust Python King Talisman, as long as I strike it out, it will be enough to give them a heavy blow.”
Being the princess of the Rakshasa Clan and the commander-in-chief of the entire Ancestral Spirit Realm battlefield, the Rakshasa Princess naturally carried a lot of powerful treasures on her body, even if it was a Divine Spirit Battle Artifact, there was more than one of them.
The power of the Locust Python King’s Talisman bursting out was not even ranked in the top five amongst the underhanded means at her disposal.
Of course, the strongest talisman that a Spiritual Saint could refine would only reach the level of the Locust Python King Talisman. A higher level talisman could only be refined by a Spiritual Power Saint King. Talismans like that could not be brought to the Ancestral Spirit Realm by a Saint of the Shatuo Seven Realms.
“It is said that the Locust Python King Talisman, once invoked, possesses the power to suppress a step Saint King.”Although Zhang Ruochen was slightly surprised, he did not feel strange.
After all, as a child of the Great Demon Ten Realms, it was quite normal for the “Spirit Flame Demon Concubine” to possess a Locust Python King Talisman as a means of preserving her life.
Yuan Mix’s body must also possess a similar card, otherwise, this battlefield wouldn’t have been shattered to such an extent.
Since the Spirit Flame Demon Concubine was prepared to use the Locust Python King Talisman, Zhang Ruochen temporarily put away his Divine Spirit Battle Weapon and did not use it easily.
Divine Spirit War Weapons were more of a deterrent to the enemy, and were only worth the most when they were not in use.
Yang Qi guessed Princess Rakshasa’s intentions and quickly shouted, “Everyone retreat, the other party is preparing to use the Locust Python King Talisman.”
Yang Qi, Ling Quan Shaojun, Qian Yu, and those first class marquises all retreated to the interior of the Evil Kraken Qi, followed by the layers of Evil Kraken Qi, which retreated like a tidal wave.
At the same time, seven or eight Ten Thousand Lines Sacred Artifacts flew out from the Evil Kraken Qi, all of them bursting out with consummate power.
“These Rakshasa Marquises are quite vigilant, but it’s not that easy to block the power of the Locust Python King’s Talisman.”
With a wave of the Rakshasa Princess’s arm, the Locust Python King Talisman flew to a hundred feet high in mid-air, and then, a purple beam of light surged outwards, and a powerful and unrivalled holy power burst out.
That terrifying power, even Zhang Ruochen felt quite palpitating.
“Rumble.”
The talisman burst into pieces, transforming into thousands of locust python silhouettes that flew in all directions, colliding with the dark red evil cloud.
Even the seven or eight Ten Thousand Lines Sacred Artifacts that exploded with consummate power were unable to block the power of the Locust Python King Talisman, and were bombarded to the point that they trembled incessantly, and then, flew out and crashed to the ground with a loud bang.
In the Evil Shakra’s Qi, on the other hand, there was quite a scream, some Rakshasa Marquises could not withstand the power of the talisman and died on the spot, and the injured Rakshasa Marquises were even more numerous.
The Rakshasa Princess said, ”The first class Marquis level characters of the Rakshasa Clan all have powerful means of preserving their lives, and with such a long distance between them, the Locust Python King Talisman simply can’t kill them. Now, while they are in a state of confusion by the power of the talisman, let’s split up and charge out.”
“Swish.”
Princess Rakshasa was quite decisive and immediately charged in one of the directions.
“Rendezvous at Mount Qifeng.”
Zhang Ruochen glanced at Ah Le, and then, grabbing the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword, he reached the realm of human sword unity in an instant, turning into a black sword light and rushing into the dark red Evil Cloud.
Just after entering the Evil Cloud, Zhang Ruochen was attacked by dozens of Rakshasa Marquises.
They all had at least the strength of Xuan Huang Realm Saints, and the power of a dozen attacks in a row pressed down on Zhang Ruochen’s head from the sky.
Zhang Ruochen dragged out a dozens of feet long sword light and chopped horizontally.
The attacking forces struck by the dozens of Rakshasa Marquises were all shattered, while at the same time, the powerful sword light landed on their bodies, tearing their bodies into bloody pieces just as they made contact.
Zhang Ruochen carried his battle sword and passed through the blood mist, continuing to charge outwards.
With his current cultivation, unless he encountered a First Class Marquis, no enemy was a match for him in a single move.
After killing six batches of Rakshasa Marquises in a row, Zhang Ruochen finally sensed the aura of danger, and in his armour, the sweaty hairs on his entire body stood up, only feeling that the danger was getting closer and closer.
“Rumble.”
A huge force crashed into Zhang Ruochen’s chest.
Even though he was wearing the Hundred Saints Blood Armour, Zhang Ruochen was still shaken by that force, causing his entire body’s blood and Qi to tumble, and the injuries in his body that hadn’t healed yet deepened a little more.
Zhang Ruochen was knocked backward by that force to more than two hundred feet in a row, and it was only after his legs sank violently and stepped into the ground that he was able to stabilise his backward momentum.
It was only then that Zhang Ruochen saw that the one attacking him was a golden lighted Breaking Arrow.
“Holy Arrow Marquis.”
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes flinched as he took out his Fontan Shield and lifted it in his hand, then used Spatial Shift to disappear from his original location, moving towards the direction where the Breaking Arrow had flown from.
The Sacred Arrow Marquis, wearing a golden armour and with a body as tall as three meters and five-sixty, stood a hundred miles away and saw Zhang Ruochen’s figure constantly disappearing and reappearing, and fast approaching his location.
“Worthy of being a Space-Time Transmitter, in such a harsh environment as the Two Poles Swamp, he was even able to perform spatial shifting.”
The Sacred Arrow Marquis pulled the three-metre long Golden Back Dragon Bone Bow open again, and immediately, there was a golden astral wind that flowed around his body.
“Boom.”
Another Breaking Arrow flew out, shedding a hundred-metre-long golden tail.
Zhang Ruochen either mobilised his spatial distortion to change the flight trajectory of the Breaking Arrow, or used his Fengbei Shield to resist the Breaking Arrow’s attack.
Even though the Sacred Arrow Marquis shot out arrow after arrow with incomparable power, it could not stop Zhang Ruochen at all.
By the time Zhang Ruochen was only a hundred feet away from the Sacred Arrow Marquis, the Sacred Arrow Marquis’s face finally became a little ugly, and while opening his bow and shooting arrows, he also flapped the pair of black wings on his back and flew away into the distance.
“Still trying to escape.”
Zhang Ruochen once again performed a Spatial Shift, arriving above the Sacred Arrow Marquis’s head, and directly threw out the Monumental Shield in his hand, ruthlessly smashing it onto the Sacred Arrow Marquis’s body, causing the Sacred Arrow Marquis to fall straight downwards.
Subsequently, Zhang Ruochen held his sword in both hands and swung it in a chop that went from mid-air all the way to the ground.
“Rumble.”
This sword strike shattered one of the protective talismans on the Saint Arrow Marquis’ body, while his body smashed into the ground at a much faster degree. Only a loud bang could be heard, and the swampy ground below was smashed out into a huge concave pit.
Before the Sacred Arrow Marquis could climb out of the concave pit, the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword in Zhang Ruochen’s hand, with a snort, had already pierced into his chest, pinning him to the ground.
“Speak! Who exactly is that person lurking by my side?”Zhang Ruochen said in a cold voice.
Blood flowed from the Holy Arrow Marquis’ mouth as he let out a cackle, a bizarre smile appearing in his eyes.
Zhang Ruochen realised that it was not good and knew that the Sacred Arrow Marquis was going to blow up his own Sacred Source and die with him. Thus, he hastily dragged the hilt of his sword and directly cut the body of the Sacred Arrow Marquis into two halves, killing him completely.
“Trying to ask something of value from the mouth of a First Class Marquis is just too difficult. To be able to become a First Class Marquis, one is already a First Class Heavenly Pride, and most of them are strong-willed and simply won’t give in or compromise. If you are a little careless, you might be hit hard by their counterattack when they are dying.”
Zhang Ruochen gently shook his head, and suddenly, his eyes lit up as he muttered to himself, “Since I can’t ask the answer out of their mouths, why can’t I make them take the initiative to tell the answer?”
Immediately, Zhang Ruochen performed the Formless Phaseless Thirty-Six Changes, and a “crackling” sound came out from within his body, as his original human body began to expand, and in the end, it turned into a three-metre-five-six horse-faced man, and even his aura also changed drastically.
At this moment, Zhang Ruochen looked exactly like Sacred Arrow Marquis.
Zhang Ruochen carefully checked to make sure there was no breakage before he picked up the Golden Back Dragon Bone Bow and the five Breaking Arrows beside the Sacred Arrow Marquis and carried them on his back.
Then, with a flick of his fingers, two balls of Pure Destruction Divine Flame flew out, burning the two halves of the Sacred Arrow Marquis’ corpse into ashes.
From now on, he was the Holy Arrow Marquis.
