“Damn it, with my strength, how can I be a match for Chu Si Yuan. This Rakshasa Princess is clearly trying to sacrifice me in order to hold Chu Siyuan back. It seems that the words of the Rakshasa Clan cannot be trusted at all either.”
Qiu Yu was quite annoyed in his heart, but, right now, he did not have any choice but to fight Chu Si Yuan to the death.
The Kunlun Realm could no longer return, and it was absolutely impossible to lose the big tree of the Rakshasa Princess again.
……
With a casual throw of her hand, the Rakshasa Princess actually threw the Wall of Merit Book more than twenty miles away, like a stone mountain flying in mid-air.
Zhang Ruochen rushed to the bottom of the Book of Merits wall, and he leapt.
Just after jumping ten feet high, Zhang Ruochen sensed an intense crisis and hastily took out the Fengbei Shield and warded off the direction from which the crisis came.
“Rumble.”?A Saint Sword, impacting on top of the Feng Bei Shield, formed a circle of energy ripples, shocking Zhang Ruochen to fly sideways to the side, and re-fall to the surface of the Stygian Ice Cold Sea.
That Saint Sword flew back like a meteor, landing in the hands of the East Current Sword Exalt.
Underneath Dongliu Swordfather’s feet, he stepped on a small boat that was burning with flames, wearing an arcane armour, his body stood straight, and his pair of stern eyes seemed to contain divine light.
That small boat, refined from part of the wood of a Great Saint level holy tree, was a supreme treasure, inspiring the inscriptions in the boat, the small boat could turn into a gigantic ship, possessing quite a strong defensive power.
At the rear of the canoe, there sat a thirteen or fourteen year old boy, all of his body exuded holy light, his pupils were blood red, giving off an evil feeling.
This person, was the Divine Envoy of the Blade and Prison Realm, Blood Spirit Wind.
Zhang Ruochen stood on top of a sycamore branch and said, “Why are you guys here?”
“Of course, we came to seize the Wall of Merit Books, we in the Blade Prison Realm don’t want to be at the bottom of the list, if we could, we would be able to rush to the top of the Saints’ Merit Battle.”Blood Spirit Wind laughed evilly.
East Stream Sword Venerable said, “In the battlefield outside, there are people like Fang Yi and Yue Kong, leading the Saints of the Blade Prison Realm and the Violet Mansion Realm against the Rakshasa Clan’s army. Here, we only fight for the Wall of Merit Book and the inheritance of the Ice and Fire Phoenix.”?Blood Spirit Wind laughed, “I also have to thank you for sending back the news, otherwise we wouldn’t have known that the Rakshasa Clan had actually deployed three million Marquises into the Ancestral Spirit Realm. However, the Book of Merits wall concerns the survival of the Blade Prison Realm, we have to fight for it anyways.”
“You shouldn’t have come, I’m afraid you’ll end up dying here.”?Zhang Ruochen’s gaze, glancing upwards, only to see that the Book of Merit Wall was about to fall into the into the sea, so he erupted into a rush to transform into a stream of light and rushed over.
“Swish.”
The East Stream Sword Sovereign entered the realm of “Human Sword Unity” and transformed into a ray of sword light as he flew out of the canoe to intercept Zhang Ruochen.
At the same time, Blood Spirit Wind harnessed the canoe and rushed towards the direction of the Book of Merits wall.
“Boom boom.”
It was not the first time that Zhang Ruochen and the East Stream Sword Sovereign exchanged blows, and both of them knew each other’s tactics and moves, thus, seeing the moves, they actually fought to the death.
The two sword shadows constantly collided together, causing the waves of the Cold Sea’s surface to rise higher and higher, and thousands of sword qi, filling this area of the sea.
In just three breaths of time, Zhang Ruochen and the East Stream Sword Sovereign had actually attacked each other with more than two hundred sword techniques.
“Zhang Ruochen, I’m going to take your Time Sword Technique again.”
The last time, the East Stream Sword Venerable was defeated on top of the Time Sword Technique, and in his heart, he was very upset, and in the recent period of time, he had been thinking about a way to crack it.
In the end, he realised that the Time Sword Technique could not be cracked at all, and there were only two ways to deal with it.
First, before the Time Sword Technique was cast, immediately retreat to the outside of the Time Domain.
Second, to pre-empt Zhang Ruochen’s Time Sword Technique, making it impossible for him to cast it out.
The Time Sword Technique, had no breakage.
However, Zhang Ruochen had a breakage.
“There will be an opportunity.”
Zhang Ruochen’s gaze, glancing in the direction of Blood Spirit Wind, realised that Blood Spirit Wind had not obtained the Wall of Merit Book, and that he had also encountered a strong enemy.
The figure of that person was quite familiar and seemed to be from the Tianmu Realm.
Obviously, the seven realms of Shatuo had all sent one or two of their top experts to snatch the Wall of Merit Book and the inheritance of the Ice Fire Phoenix while fighting against the Rakshasa Clan’s Marquis army.
Did the other experts go to the Phoenix Nest, or were they hiding nearby?
Zhang Ruochen secretly guessed that among the seven realms of Shatuo, the experts sent by the most powerful Great Demon Ten Sect Realm and Eight Sect Realm had most likely gone to the Phoenix Nest. As for the Sword Prison Realm, Kunlun Realm, and Tianmu Realm, the less powerful Great Worlds, there would be a great sense of crisis, all wanting to compete for the first place in the Sage Merit Battle, and they would surely grab the Wall of Merit Books first.
Dongliu Sword Sovereign’s cultivation had improved again, and he was already quite close to the realm of half-step Saint King, and with his powerful Sword Dao cultivation, he was actually holding Zhang Ruochen at bay, creating an opportunity for the Blood Spirit Immortal to seize the Merit Book Wall.
“The Rakshasa Clan will definitely have other experts to intervene in, we must fight quickly.”?Zhang Ruochen took out the Buddha Emperor Relic and pressed his palm on it, then tens of thousands of Buddhist texts poured out from it, condensing into a golden dragon hundreds of metres long.
A great saint’s origin power fused with the golden dragon.
The East Stream Sword Venerable retreated backwards a distance of tens of feet, grabbing the hilt of his sword with both hands and raising it above his head, and instantly, a Great Sage’s silhouette appeared above the tip of the sword, which was also surging with origin power.
That Saint Sword of his was also a Great Saint Ancient Artifact.
“Boom.”
The golden dragon and the Great Sage’s shadow collided together as the two forces were cancelling each other out and a rain of light flew out.
Right at this moment, Zhang Ruochen used his Time Sword Technique, transforming into an eye-catching sword aura that passed through the rain of light and struck at the heart of the East Stream Sword Sovereign.
“Not good ……”
The East Stream Swordsman had just had this thought when he felt a cold force penetrate his body.
That was, the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword in Zhang Ruochen’s hand.
Even if the Dongliu Swordfather’s original body was not human, he was still suffering from some injuries at this moment, and was shocked by the power that erupted from the sword, sending him flying backwards for more than ten miles.
“Surprisingly …… lost again ……”
The East Stream Sword Sovereign had some difficulty accepting this fact, as a Heaven’s Pride who was undefeated in a hundred battles in the Violet Mansion Realm, he came to the Battlefield of Merit but suffered setbacks one after another, first losing to the Rakshasa Princess, and now for the second time, losing at the hands of Zhang Ruochen.
These battles had caused quite a shock to his self-confidence.
Zhang Ruochen stared at the East Stream Sword Sovereign and said, “The Time Sword Technique has no breaks, and Zhang Ruochen likewise has no breaks, if you want to win against me, you should first cultivate the Sword Eight to the Great Perfection.”
“Swish.”
Zhang Ruochen rushed towards the battlefield where Blood Spirit Wind and Li Mu were, the Wall of Merit Book was floating in the sky above the battlefield, and there was a cloud of wind force holding it up, thus, it didn’t fall down.
Kurumu was a half-step Saint King of the Tianmu Realm, and his battle prowess was a step more powerful than even Crazy Demon.
At a position three miles away from the two of them, Zhang Ruochen stopped, the Saint Qi in his body working frantically, and then, with both hands, he grabbed at the void, using a spatial distortion to collect the Wall of Merit Book through the air.
Blood Spirit Wind and Chestnut Wood stopped exchanging blows and attacked Zhang Ruochen at the same time.
Zhang Ruochen’s brows furrowed and he had to stop collecting the Book of Merits Wall as he slapped his hands into the void, using spatial power to beat the space around Blood Spirit Wind and Li Mu to collapse and open up.
The two of them were unable to fight against the spatial power, so they had to immediately retreat, avoiding the collapsing space.
“Collect it for me.”
Zhang Ruochen grabbed the Wall of Merit Book through space and dragged it to his side, then, quickly took out the treasure bottle containing a large number of Rakshasa Remnant Souls and began to exchange the Merit Value.
“Zhang Ruochen, you don’t want to succeed.”
Blood Spirit Wind took out a two-metre-long iron fan, invoking out tens of thousands of inscriptions inside the iron fan, and slammed it violently, followed by a large swathe of wind blades that flew out, transforming into a violent storm.
Kurumu struck out a holy art, condensing into a huge black impaler snake shadow, and all of a sudden, the sky above the Stygian Winter Cold Sea became cloudy, and the sky and the earth were dim.
On the other end, the East Stream Sword Sovereign struck out his Saint Sword, inspiring the Saint Sword’s origin power and attacking Zhang Ruochen as well.
The three great experts struck at the same time with the aim of stopping Zhang Ruochen from redeeming the merit value because, once the redemption was successful, the Guanghan Realm would be able to rush to number one. At that time, Zhang Ruochen would definitely destroy the Merit Book Wall, and the outcome of the entire Saint Merit War would be a foregone conclusion.
Almost all of the one hundred and forty-four orifices on Zhang Ruochen’s entire body opened, and a steady stream of holy qi gushed out to support the Buddha Emperor’s Sherri Son. On the surface of the Sherri Son, thirty-six circles of golden Buddhist light emanated, wrapping around the Book of Merits wall.
On the wall of the Book of Merits, the merit value of the Guanghan Realm was growing.
However, the defence formed by the Sherri Sons was also constantly being shattered by the three great experts. At this time, time appeared to be exceptionally precious, even just a single breath of time was crucial in determining the situation.
At this moment, no one was more nervous than those great saints and half saints of the Broad Cold Realm, as well as hundreds of millions of living beings.
Through the mirror image of the battlefield, they could see the crisis that Zhang Ruochen was encountering, and at the same time, they could also see the changes in the merit values on the walls of the Book of Merits.
“Faster, faster.”?”Why do I feel that the Merit Value is growing so slowly.”
“Zhang Ruochen, you must hold on!”
……
Even the existences at the level of Great Saints were holding their breaths at this moment, nervous to the extreme, fearing that Zhang Ruochen would not be able to withstand the pressure and end up losing his merit.
A few moments later, on the wall of the Book of Merits, the Guanghan Realm’s merit value surpassed that of the Great Demon Ten Directions Realm, jumping to the first place.
Seeing this scene, the entire living beings of the Guanghan Realm roared out in excitement, some were chanting Zhang Ruochen’s name, some were running wildly through the streets, and some were sitting inside the tavern slapping the tables to pieces with one palm ……
Because their emotions were too excited, they did all sorts of crazy things.
In the Moon God Mountain, the great saints of the Guanghan Realm also let out a large chorus of laughter.
As long as the Broad Cold Realm became the number one in the Saints’ Merit Battle, it wouldn’t be the next battleground, and Zhang Ruochen had sort of spelled out a way for them to live.
Zhang Ruochen was also slightly relieved as a smile appeared on his face, and it was only at this moment that he raised his head and looked upwards, noticing that only the last layer of the Sherwood’s defensive golden light was left.
Thus, he hurriedly performed the spatial transfer means, and with the Sherry Son, disappeared in place.
The attacking means struck by the East Stream Sword Sovereign, the Blood Spirit Wind, and the Chestnut Wood, on the other hand, all landed on top of the Book of Merits wall, emitting a series of deafening booms.
