“Rumble!”
The power of the swirling swamp was even more terrifying than Zhang Ruochen had expected, and even though he was clearly stepping on flat ground, his body was constantly shaking, and trying to move his arms was not an easy task.
There were very strong dark currents surging in all directions, acting on his body, and if he was not careful, he would lose his centre of gravity from the impact of the dark currents, and fly out of the Vortex Swamp.
However, Zhang Ruochen’s mastery of power was far superior to other Half-Saints, and even that Holy Maiden of the Blood God Sect was no match for him.
Thus, entering the whirlpool swamp, Zhang Ruochen instead became more like a fish in water, his speed doubling that of the Blood God Sect’s Holy Maiden, and he soon caught up behind her, less than three feet apart.
The Blood God Sect Holy Maiden glanced back at Zhang Ruochen, and then glanced towards Bai Yu, Ning Guihai, and Yan Kongming who were chasing after Zhang Ruochen, and was a bit annoyed in her heart.
The Blood God Sect Holy Maiden certainly understood that Zhang Ruochen was deliberately chasing after her, wanting to use her power to hold Bai Yu, Ning Qihai, and Yan Kongming back.
“Are you looking for death?”
An icy cold aura emanated from the Blood God Sect Holy Maiden’s body.
The nine circles of holy light that surrounded her delicate and delicate body were also swaying as if they were nine layers of white water waves, releasing powerful energy fluctuations.
In a sense, Zhang Ruochen was completely using her.
With the noble status of a Holy Maiden, how could she not be angry?
Zhang Ruochen didn’t pay any attention to the Blood God Sect’s Holy Maiden’s warning, and continued to follow her, and moreover, the distance was even closer than before, only two feet away.
In the rear, Yan Kongming’s eyes were covered in blood, and he roared in a deep voice, ”What a cunning brat, to chase after Her Highness the Holy Maiden, causing us to only be able to tie our hands. Otherwise, I would have been able to cleave him to death with just one slash.”
Ning Guihai’s face bore an intense murderous intent as he said, “We can’t wait any longer, once we let them rush out of the swirling swamp first, we’ll never have the chance to catch up with them again.”
“But, Her Highness the Holy Maiden is very close to him, once we make a move, what should we do in case we injure her by mistake?”Bai Yu was a bit worried.
Ning Guihai said, “Both of you have also taken the Blood God Compass, so if you are unable to become the Flag Master, you wouldn’t be unaware of what would happen? Since that’s the case, why are you still afraid of offending the Holy Maiden?”
“As long as we beat both that second stage Half-Saint realm brat and the Holy Maiden down to Mount Pura, then there will also be two more spots.”
In order to seize the position of Flag Master, Yan Kongming, Bai Yu, and Ning Guihai were prepared to fight to the death, even if it was the Holy Maiden.
Yan Kongming was the first to strike, holding a seven-foot-long blood knife, slashing out a crescent-shaped blade energy that struck Zhang Ruochen’s vest.
Zhang Ruochen felt the power fluctuation in the direction behind him, and with a stomp of his feet, he dodged to the right, avoiding the blade Qi.
“Rumble.”
The powerful blade Qi, which struck the Blood God Sect Holy Maiden’s body, collided with the nine circles of holy light, shattering the two outermost circles of holy light.
The Blood God Cult Holy Maiden’s cultivation level was also that of a Third Stage Half Saint, however, within her body, she did not have a Blood God Compass. Therefore, her strength was comparable to Yan Kongming, who had borrowed the power of the Blood God Compass.
Suffering from the impact of the power of the blade qi, the Holy Maiden of the Blood God Sect’s centre of gravity was slightly unsteady, and she was almost struck by an undercurrent.
Fortunately, the stance she cultivated was quite clever, called the “Enchanted Butterfly Steps”, and in the first instance, she performed it, as if she had transformed into a light and colourful butterfly, her two snow-white jade feet stepping on the void, her long and slender legs constantly changing their orientation, just like a stunningly beautiful fairy dancing, and she quickly resolved the crisis she had just experienced.
“Yan Kongming, how dare you, how dare you attack this Saintess? Could it be that you think that by borrowing the power of the Blood God Compass, you can call this Holy Maiden’s bluff?”The Blood God Sect Holy Maiden said.
Yan Kongming’s face was devoid of fear as he said, “Just now, I only wanted to attack the person behind Your Highness the Holy Maiden, and it was entirely by mistake that I injured Your Highness, so I hope that Your Highness will not blame Mister Yan.”
The Holy Maiden of the Blood God Cult clenched a mouthful of snow-white silver teeth as she gave a cold smile, “Why do you need to make excuses when you know that there is a possibility that you might be injured by mistake and yet you still attacked?”
Ning Guihai said coldly, “The examination of the Psi Character Heavenly Palace is supposed to be about fighting each other so as to select the strongest. Even if Her Highness the Sacred Maiden’s status is honourable, she is still only one of the test takers today. Why can’t we take a shot at you?”
The Holy Maiden of the Blood God Cult stopped her steps abruptly, and a pair of eyes as bright as stars stared over towards the three people behind her, saying, “So, you guys really want to challenge this Holy Maiden, fine, I’ll give you a chance.”
That pair of stunningly beautiful eyes carried an astonishingly seductive power, and even with the cultivation levels of Bai Yu, Ning Guihai, and Yan Kongming, they were slightly disorientated for a moment when they met those eyes.
If they were in the outside world, without the suppression of the boundary, just for the short time that they were slightly lost in thought just now, the Holy Maiden of the Blood God Sect would have been able to behead the three of them.
All three of them, who had awakened with a shock, broke out in a cold sweat, not daring to look at the Blood God Sect Holy Maiden again.
Zhang Ruochen glanced towards them and continued to walk forwards, wanting to get out of the whirlpool swamp.
“This Holy Maiden hasn’t even left, and you still want to leave?”
The Holy Maiden of the Blood God Cult turned around and stared at Zhang Ruochen as her five slender, soft and long fingers pinched into a claw mark and grabbed Zhang Ruochen’s shoulder across the void.
Her stance, was very bizarre and unpredictable, with more than a hundred shadows appearing in a row, it was impossible to discern which shadow, was the real claw print.
“Crack!”
Zhang Ruochen’s spine shifted and his body rocked a little, using a rather ingenious power to form over a hundred humanoid phantoms, avoiding so the claw prints all together.
The Holy Maiden of the Blood God Sect was slightly stunned, not expecting that this brat’s control of power was so brilliant that he was actually able to dodge her Xuan Yin Tackling Claw.
Just as the Holy Maiden of the Blood God Cult was about to strike again, Zhang Ruochen took the initiative to stop and smiled at her, “Since Your Highness the Holy Maiden asked me to stay, I’ll stay first.”
The reason why Zhang Ruochen chose to stay was not because he was truly afraid of the Blood God Sect Holy Maiden. Rather, he was worried that, if he was too far away from the Blood Goddess Sacred Maiden, when that time came, Ning Guihai, Bai Yu, and Yan Kongming would be able to strike out at him with impunity, and even the Blood Goddess Sacred Maiden might be able to clean him up.
In his current state, it was impossible for him to block the siege of the four great experts.
Seeing that Zhang Ruochen was still honest, the Holy Maiden of the Blood God Sect went ahead and withdrew her Saint Qi.
However, Ning Guihai, Bai Yu, and Yan Kongming did not intend to let go of this excellent opportunity. The three of them struck out almost simultaneously, attacking the Blood God Sect’s Holy Maiden in front of them.
“Your Highness the Holy Maiden is offended!”
Bai Yu executed a sword technique stance, striking a holy sword out. The holy sword transformed into a stream of light and pierced through the swirling swamp.
“Boom!”
The holy sword collided with the holy light on the Blood God Sect’s Holy Maiden, piercing through three layers of holy light in a row. Those holy lights shattered and turned into a rain of light, spilling out in midair, looking extremely beautiful.
The Blood God Sect Holy Maiden immediately stretched out a slender jade hand and blocked forward, blocking White Feather’s holy sword through the air, causing the holy sword to stop in mid-air, unable to move forward any further.
The blade qi that Yan Kongming slashed out and the dragon tooth dagger that Ning Guihai struck out also attacked over, landing on the Blood God Cult Holy Maiden’s body at the same time.
“Boom boom!”
A circle of holy light, constantly shattered, emitting a series of explosive sounds.
Soon, all nine layers of holy light shattered, revealing the Blood God Cult Holy Maiden’s true body.
It had to be said that the Holy Maiden of the Blood God Sect was indeed an extremely beautiful woman, looking only seventeen or eight years old, wearing a layer of blood-red muslin, with a head of dark, glossy hair tied by a turquoise-blue hairband, and a delicate body that was like an immortal jade carving without a single blemish.
Even the three great experts who were launching their attacks were slightly dumbfounded at the sight of the Blood God Sect Holy Maiden’s immortal face, and their attacks slowed down by a beat.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Holy Maiden of the Blood God Sect raised her two slender jade hands, her palms releasing two huge strands of blood qi that transformed into two rivers of blood, sending White Feather’s Holy Sword, Yan Kongming’s Blood Blade, and Ning Guihai’s Dragon Tooth Dagger all flying backward.
“Not good ……”
Because, the power of the strike just now was too powerful, the Holy Maiden of the Blood God Sect suffered the impact of an undercurrent in the swirling swamp, her body lost its centre of gravity and flew towards the outskirts of Mount Pura.
Zhang Ruochen was originally standing beside the Holy Maiden of the Blood God Cult, and her petite body, when she flew up, one of her slender and rounded beautiful .leg, almost passed against Zhang Ruochen’s scalp.
Zhang Ruochen slightly raised his head, just in time to see two snow white thighs, following the legs, continued upwards, and was even able to see the moon white fur trousers underneath the blood coloured long skirt, that picture, was really fragrant to the extreme.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t intentionally want the spring light in front of him, it was completely unintentional. It was mainly because, he hadn’t expected that the Holy Maiden of the Blood God Sect would be wearing such a thin dress.
Slightly embarrassed, he immediately averted his gaze, and at the same time, stretched out a hand and grabbed one of the Blood God Sect Holy Maiden’s snow-white jade feet.
Subsequently, with his arm, he used a powerful forceful qi and flung it forwards, throwing the Blood God Cult Holy Maiden out of the swirling swamp and landing on the ground.
Although she was somewhat in a sorry state, the Blood God Cult Holy Maiden was able to stand firmly and stabilise herself after all.
However, her pair of eyes were filled with a murderous aura as she stared at Zhang Ruochen, who had stepped out of the swirling swamp, and attacked with a claw, striking at his eyes, as if she wanted to gouge out his two eyeballs.
Zhang Ruochen immediately moved out horizontally, dodging the Blood God Cult Holy Maiden’s attack, and said in disbelief, ”Your Highness, if I hadn’t stepped in to help you just now, I’m afraid that you would have already flown out of the Prancing Luo Mountain. Why are you being so gracious?”
“Wow…”
Nine more circles of holy light emerged from the Blood God Cult Holy Maiden’s body, completely enveloping the shapely jade body.
An ice-cold voice came out from within the holy light, “Why? In your heart, you should know very well. Gouge out your own eyes and chop off your hands, and this Holy Maiden can spare your life.”
“How unbelievable.”Zhang Ruochen said.
Bai Yu, Ning Guihai, and Yan Kongming also crossed the swirling swamp and chased after them, surrounding Zhang Ruochen from three directions.
The Blood God Sect Holy Maiden stood at the uppermost position and smiled faintly, “Forget it! Let the three of them clean you up, this Holy Maiden will go first.”
Transforming into a slender figure, the Blood God Sect Holy Maiden quickly rushed to the top of Mount Prana, pulling up a black battle flag and holding it in her hand.
