With Zhang Ruochen’s current control over space, even if he performed a spatial shift, characters below the Saint level would not be able to feel the fluctuation of spatial power.
Seeing Zhang Ruochen disappear from under the blade, Su Bai was slightly stunned and somewhat unsure.
A sure-fire blade would unexpectedly fall short.
How could Gu Linfeng suddenly disappear?
Almost at the same time, Zhang Ruochen noiselessly appeared above Su Bai’s back, his two palms turning blood red, the six orifices in his palms opening up as he simultaneously slapped down.
It was precisely the Seven Orifices Blood Underworld Palm.
Su Bai was also worthy of being a Seventh Order Half Saint, his nerve reflection speed was super fast, sensing the power fluctuation behind him, he immediately twisted his body and swung his sword diagonally upwards.
Because of the extremely fast speed and strong power of the sword swing, the bones of her arm made a clicking sound, and the air was exploding.
“Boom!”
The palm and the sword collided together.
How strong was the palm force of the Seven Orifices Blood Underworld Palm, and how could it be resisted by the power that Su Bai had gathered in haste?
Receiving the impact of the palm force, Su Bai’s five viscera and six bowels violently trembled for a moment, and his entire body’s blood qi rolled over as he rapidly fell towards the ground.
“Boom” sound.
Su Bai’s body, smashed into the halfway point of a snowy mountain, causing the snowy mountain to collapse inwards, forming a large pit of 100 metres directly.
Rumbling sounds rang out, and the snow mountain of more than eight thousand metres erupted into a massive avalanche, which quickly filled up that large pit.
Below, white mist rolled out, a cold current, rushing straight towards the sky.
Su Bai wasn’t a weakling, being a high-level Half-Saint with many formidable means. In order to avoid an ambush, Zhang Ruochen did not venture into the snow layer below, but used his spiritual power to lock onto Su Bai’s location.
His spiritual power detected that there was a very strong fluctuation of life force underneath the snow layer, which showed that although Su Bai was seriously injured, he was not dead.
In that case, it was also more important to be careful, lest the other party reversed the battle.
“Why did Your Excellency ambush me?”
Zhang Ruochen stood in mid-air, his gaze sharp as he stared downwards. At the same time, there was a blood-red dragon spirit rushing out and wrapping around his body, emitting a brilliant and domineering aura.
Below the snow layer, Su Bai’s voice resounded, ”Such a powerful palm force, your cultivation, how can you only be a Second Order Half Saint? You should also be a Seventh Order Half-Saint, right?”
Zhang Ruochen did not answer her and asked a rhetorical question, “The armour you are wearing is imprinted with a special mark that only members of the Pixie Character Heavenly Palace have. Then, your identity should be that of one of the flag lords of the Psi Character Heavenly Palace. And it seems that I have never offended you within my impression. Speak up! Just who instructed you to kill me?”
Below the snow layer, just a gloomy laughter came out, “Come down, come to my side, and I’ll tell you.”
Zhang Ruochen glanced downwards and said, “Believe it or not, I can send a message to Dharma Lord Hai Moi right now, telling him that one of the Flagbearers of the Spectral Character Heavenly Palace is going to kill me. With Lord Dharma King’s identity, it shouldn’t be difficult to deal with you, right?”
Zhang Ruochen uttered these words, in fact, he only wanted to force Su Bai out, and had no intention of transmitting the message to the Sea Underworld Dharma King at all.
After all, if the Sea Underworld Dharma King knew about this, Zhang Ruochen’s identity would also be exposed.
“Boom!”
Su Bai charged straight up, breaking through the snow layer and landing on the top of the snowy mountain.
She held a sword in both hands, forming a sword qi field with a diameter of a hundred feet, completely enveloping her body in it.
That rough face looked very pale, and there were dark red blood stains at the corners of her mouth.
“Still wanting to send a message to the Sea Underworld Dharma King, you think, you can escape today?”
Su Bai’s gaze was quite cold and heavy as he stared towards a direction in the north-east corner and shouted coldly, “Zhao Shiqi, don’t make a move yet.”
“There are other strong people?”
Zhang Ruochen once again unleashed his spiritual energy, covering a thousand miles in a radius, and soon found faint spiritual energy fluctuations in a mountain pass not far away.
Zhao Shiqi’s spiritual strength exceeded Zhang Ruochen’s and could hide his aura. Thus, it was impossible for Zhang Ruochen to spot him without careful probing.
The power that Gu Linfeng had erupted naturally still surprised Zhao Shiqi greatly.
However, since the two of them had already made a move, it was also imperative that Gu Linfeng be suppressed at this place, and they absolutely could not let him escape.
The fury of the Dharma King of the Sea Underworld was not something the two of them Flag Masters could withstand.
Zhao Shiqi and Su Bai, however, did not know that Zhang Ruochen held the same thought and had already made up his mind to kill Su Bai and Zhao Shiqi so as not to reveal his true strength.
Zhao Shiqi mobilised his spiritual energy and converged towards the bushel-sized white leaf in his hand, and on the leaf, a complex pattern emerged, emitting a piercing white light.
“Wow!”
The white tree leaf flew in mid-air and gently flapped.
A large swathe of intertwined white inscriptions flew out and imprinted on top of the thousands of metres of snowy mountains on the opposite side.
At the same time, a powerful wind force lifted the snowflakes on the surface of the snowy mountain, revealing the black soil below ……
No.
That wasn’t dirt, but the skin of a savage beast.
The white inscriptions that came out of the leaves were printed on the surface of the savage beast’s skin.
Immediately after, the huge “snow mountain”, shaking up, gradually rise, transformed into a thousands of metres high huge savage elephant, emitting a magnificent huge savage atmosphere.
Its body was covered with black scales the size of grinding discs, and if it was lying on the ground and covered by ice and snow, there was no difference between it and a snow mountain.
Even for Zhang Ruochen, this was the first time he had seen such a huge being.
“Upper Sixth Order Savage Beast, Discordant Heaven Sacred Elephant.”
Zhang Ruochen stared at the giant beast below with a grave expression as he reached out with his arm and summoned the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword.
The power of the Discordant Heaven Sacred Elephant was enough to be comparable to a Ninth Order Half-Saint, and it was definitely one of the most powerful barbarian beasts in terms of attacking power under the Saint realm.
If the Discordant Heaven Saint Elephant was controlled and used to attack a city, there were very few city’s protective formations that would be able to block its charge.
Of course, the weakness of the Discordant Heaven Sacred Elephant could also be obvious, that is, its body was too large and not flexible enough. It was suitable for joining a battlefield with a large number of people, and was not suitable for fighting alone with top experts.
“Wow…”
Zhao Shiqi’s feet stepped on a long bridge formed by the convergence of wind power, and he flew down to the position above the head of the Discordant Heavenly Sacred Elephant. Afterwards, he played the Beast Mastery Dharma and controlled the Disc Heavenly Sacred Elephant to attack Zhang Ruochen.
The Disc Heavenly Sacred Elephant lowered its head and spat out a mouthful of cyan-coloured air waves.
In the air wave, there was a clattering sound, containing hundreds of thousands of wind energy blade. Those Wind Energy Blades coalesced into a torrent that was tens of miles long, surging towards Zhang Ruochen from the sky.
This was the natural martial skill of the Pantheon Sacred Elephant Clan, known as the “Eight-Faced Divine Wind”, which was enough to kill living beings for hundreds of miles in a radius just by spitting out a breath.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t clash with the Pantheon Sacred Elephant and once again performed Spatial Shift, disappearing from his original position and appearing on Su Bai’s left side.
“Let’s first kill this Seventh Order Half-Saint, then deal with the Disc Heavenly Sacred Elephant and that Beast Master,” Zhang Ruochen’s mind made this tactical decision.
When Su Bai saw Zhang Ruochen charging over, he didn’t vanish, instead, he gathered his Saint Qi and prepared to fight him.
In Su Bai’s opinion, Zhang Ruochen was only a seventh-order Half-Saint. Earlier, she had failed to block Zhang Ruochen’s palm force entirely because she had underestimated his cultivation and was caught off guard.
In a real fight, with her even richer combat experience, she might not lose to a junior.
However, she did not know that the Seven Orifices Blood Underworld Palm that Zhang Ruochen had struck had only exerted 30% of its power because he had not been able to build up his strength in time.
If, however, Zhang Ruochen had struck with ten percent of the palm’s power, Su Bai would not have been able to get up from the ground at all.
“Divine Buddha One Blade Kill.”
Su Bai gripped the hilt of his blade with both hands and drew a circle, and the strong blade Qi also formed a huge ripple.
“Wow!”?All of the saber dao rules between heaven and earth converged over and merged with the holy saber. Densely densely packed knife-shaped blade Qi coalesced out and hovered behind Su Bai.
Her arms powered up and slashed down.
Thousands and thousands of blade qi followed suit and flew out, emitting a whimpering sound.
Zhang Ruochen appeared pleasantly unafraid, continuing to maintain his original speed, and when he was about to touch the blade Qi, he stomped his legs, pranced up, and slashed down with a sword, spitting two words out of his mouth, “Sword Three.”
Stab!
This was a plain and simple sword, without any fancy, but from the sky, all the way connecting to the earth.
All the sword qi, all of it annihilated.
A line of blood appeared from Su Bai’s brow to his chin, his entire body stood rigidly in place, the holy qi in his body lost control and became very chaotic.
“With a bang, her body, including the black armour, split in half and flew to the left and right directions.
The blood that rolled out dyed the snowflakes on the ground scarlet.
With just one sword, a Seventh Order Half-Saint fell to the top of the snowy mountain, turning into two halves of a mutilated corpse.
The Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword emitted a joyful sword chirp and flew out from Zhang Ruochen’s hand, refining Su Bai’s armour and Saint Blade into metallic droplets that were absorbed into the sword body.
In fact, if Su Bai had the intention to escape, with Zhang Ruochen’s current strength, he wouldn’t be able to kill her at all. However, she had overestimated her own strength and underestimated Zhang Ruochen too much.
From the beginning to the end, it had been underestimating Zhang Ruochen.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Shiqi, who was atop the head of the Pan Tian Sacred Elephant, was shocked, ”Su Bai’s cultivation is quite thick, how could she not be able to block Gu Linfeng’s sword? No, Gu Linfeng is proficient in Palm Technique, how could his attainments above Sword Technique be so high?”
Zhao Shiqi sensed that something was not good, however, he didn’t retreat, instead, he stretched out a finger and struck at the centre of the Pantheon Sacred Elephant’s head.
Powerful spiritual energy emanated from his fingertip, forming three hundred and seventy-eight light shuttles that completely wrapped the body of the Discordant Heavenly Sacred Elephant.
Immediately after that, the Discordant Heaven Saint Elephant roared angrily and raised a huge elephant leg, stomping down towards Zhang Ruochen, who was standing on the top of the snowy mountain.
Even if it was just a single leg, it was more than two hundred metres long, resembling a black demonic cloud that pressed down from the sky.
Four wind walls rose from Zhang Ruochen’s four sides, pinning his body in the centre.
The power of the Discordant Heaven Saint Elephant was too powerful, and even though it was only a foot that pressed down, the powerful Saint Dao power completely locked Zhang Ruochen in place, making it impossible for him to escape.
