Zhang Ruochen raised his head and glanced towards the rapidly pressing Elephant Foot, without the slightest bit of panic, appearing calm and collected, he stretched out a finger and pointed it forwards.
Above his fingertip, twenty feet away, a spatial force quickly gathered together and condensed into a point.
That one point, the spatial power at its location, after condensing to the extreme, with a loud bang, collapsed outwards, forming a broken spatial area of more than a hundred metres directly.
Just in time, the Pantheon Saint Elephant’s foot, stepping down, collided with the shattered space.
“Pfft.”
Suffering from the attack of spatial power, the huge elephant leg, in an instant, crumbled and turned into a cloud of blood mist.
Losing one of its legs, the body of the Discordant Heaven Saint Elephant was unsteady in its centre of gravity, and with a rumble, it directly collapsed onto the ground.
Zhao Shiji mobilised his spiritual power first, condensing a wind force that acted on his body and flew into mid-air more than a thousand metres above the ground.
“Spatial power …… How is it possible …… Could he be …… Could he be a space-time transmitter……”
Zhao Shiqi stared at the still still quite chaotic space below, completely unable to remain calm.
Suddenly, he felt, on his neck, a cold aura coming from him and looked down.
Only to see, a black ancient sword, straddling his right shoulder position, emitting a faint layer of sword aura.
Zhang Ruochen stood behind Zhao Shiqi, holding the sword in one hand as he said, “Would it be a little too late to guess my identity now?”
“You are Zhang Ruochen.”
Zhao Shiqi tried to control his shock and fear, making himself look as calm and collected as possible.
Zhang Ruochen put away the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword and stepped on the void with his feet, walking across to Zhao Shiqi without slowing down, saying, “Speak! Who instructed you to kill me?”
Seeing Zhang Ruochen put away his sword, in fact, Zhao Shiqi was still a little foolish, wanting to mobilise his spiritual power and fight back.
However, after some rigorous projections, Zhao Shiqi gave up on this decision.
Because Zhang Ruochen was too close to him at the moment, trying to kill him was not much more difficult than killing an ordinary person.
After all, a Mental Force Half-Saint was still only suitable for long-range attacks, and once a Martial Dao Half-Saint of the same realm got close to his body, then there was only a way to die.
Zhao Shiqi gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, “After I say it, you’re still not going to kill me.”
“Not necessarily.”
Zhang Ruochen shook his head and said, “A forty-seventh ranked Mental Power Half-Saint, and even a powerful Beast Master, a character like you is still very useful. As long as you don’t play tricks with me, not only will I not kill you, say no more, I will even reuse you.”
Hearing the meaning in Zhang Ruochen’s words, Zhao Shiqi’s eyelids slightly jumped as he said, “You want me to work for you? Do you know that this is the Blood God Sect, as long as I spread the news of your appearance, even if you have three heads and six arms, you will never be able to escape alive.”
Zhang Ruochen said, “Don’t worry, even if I’m going to die, you will definitely die before me.”?Gradually, Zhao Shiqi relaxed and was no longer so nervous.
This was because, if Zhang Ruochen wanted to kill him, he would not have said so many words to him. Since Zhang Ruochen didn’t intend to kill him, then, he was also qualified to negotiate with Zhang Ruochen.
Zhao Shiqi said, ”Zhang Ruochen, you are a Time and Space Successor, you have great luck added to your body, and you have cultivated into the Fish and Dragon 10th Transformation God’s Fate, so you will definitely become the overlord of the Kunlun Realm in the future. I, Zhao Shiqi, can follow you, but what can you give me?”
The Ming Sect had just been established, and it was the right time to recruit talents, and with scarce talents such as Zhao Shiqi, Zhang Ruochen naturally focused on recruiting them.
It wasn’t too late to get rid of them only if the recruitment was unsuccessful.
Zhang Ruochen stared at him and said, “Your age, you should be approaching two hundred years old, right?”
A gloomy look flashed across Zhao Shiqi’s eyes.
His age was, indeed, nearing two hundred years old.
Whether it was a Martial Dao Half-Saint or a Spiritual Force Half-Saint, two hundred years old was a major watershed.
When a Martial Dao Half-Saint’s age passed two hundred, his blood qi would begin to decline, his physical body would begin to age, and without the aid of holy pills and medicines, in the future, it would be very difficult for his cultivation to progress any further.
Spirituality Half-Saints were slightly better than Martial Dao Half-Saints, even after two hundred years of age, their spirituality could continue to grow, only that the rate of growth would become very slow.
At Zhao Shiqi’s age, being able to cultivate his spiritual strength to the forty-eighth rank in this life was already the limit. It was even possible that it would be difficult for him to even cross that hurdle of the forty-eighth rank.
Zhang Ruochen said, ”If I were to tell you that in today’s world, I am the only one who can help you cultivate your spiritual strength to the Saint realm. Would you be willing to submit to me?”
“Is this true?”
A blazing light appeared in Zhao Shiqi’s eyes, making it difficult to suppress the excitement in his heart.
Zhang Ruochen remained rather bland as he said, “You should have also heard that I found a Divine Pill in the Netherworld.”?”Of course I’ve heard about it, it is said that you used that one divine medicine to make the Xuan Gui Sword Saint reborn in nirvana.”Zhao Shiqi said.
Zhang Ruochen’s fame in the Kunlun Realm was actually no less than that of the older generation of Saints, and his every move was also followed by the cultivators of the world.
The identity of a Time and Space Successor was by no means a mere name.
Zhang Ruochen asked, “The Divine Pill that I found, in the netherworld, is called the Seven Star Divine Ling.”
Zhao Shiqi obviously also knew about the medicinal power of the Seven Star Divine Ling, and after hearing the name, the excitement on his face became even more pronounced as he said, “Legend has it that the first leaf of the Seven Star Divine Ling is in the form of a green dragon, and taking it down is enough to cultivate into a Spiritual …… Great Sage. ”
Zhang Ruochen said, “Why are you so excited? I never said that I would reward you with the Green Dragon Leaf, at most, I can only offer you some dew drops from the top of the Green Dragon Leaf.”
Zhao Shiqi immediately let out a dry smile, revealing a pleasing expression as he said, “Even if Sir Zhang were to reward me with the Green Dragon Leaf, with the strength of my spiritual power, I would not be able to digest and absorb it. As long as I can obtain some of the dewdrops on top of the Green Dragon Leaf, the power contained in the dewdrops would be enough to allow me to cultivate my spiritual strength to above the fiftieth rank and become a Spiritual Force Saint. Once one becomes a Saint of Spiritual Force, one’s lifespan will definitely increase greatly.”
“So, you have decided to submit to me? Do you really believe that I have the Seven Star Divine Ling?”Zhang Ruochen asked a rhetorical question.
Zhao Shiqi was slightly stunned, and immediately revealed a hint of a smile again as he said, “If you, Zhang Ruochen, are able to cultivate to the current realm at such a young age, you will definitely have a great future in the future, and even if I don’t have the Seven Star Divine Deling, I’m willing to follow to the death.”?After saying this, Zhao Shiqi knelt down on one knee, placing his palm on his chest in a gesture of allegiance.
For Zhao Shiqi, if he continued to stay in the Blood God Sect, the height he could reach in this lifetime would be the current one, and it would be difficult to achieve anything higher.
However, following a young generation legend like Zhang Ruochen, it was said that not necessarily, yet he would be able to spell out a brand new future.
The history of the Kunlun Realm had given birth to many great emperors who had dominated an era. The followers beside those great emperors were also able to receive countless benefits and eventually became first-class powerhouses that other cultivators could only look up to.
Zhang Ruochen’s achievements today could be compared to those great emperors when they were young.
In case Zhang Ruochen became a Great Emperor of the generation in the future, then wouldn’t Zhao Shiqi’s choice to follow him now be an all-important benefit. At that time, I’m afraid that all those Dharma Kings and Palace Masters of the Blood God Sect would have to come and flatter him.
In a word, Zhao Shiqi was taking the last few decades of his lifespan to gamble on a future.
“Get up!”
Zhang Ruochen added, “Tell me, who exactly is trying to kill me?”
Zhao Shiqi stood up and said solemnly, “Reporting back to Your Excellency, the person who wants to kill you is His Highness, the Divine Son.”
“Mei Lanzhu?”
A smirk appeared on Zhang Ruochen’s face.
Zhang Ruochen’s performance in Mount Purah was indeed considered very outstanding, yet it was not enough to threaten Mei Lanzhu’s Divine Son status.
Then, there could only be another reason, the Blood God Sect’s Holy Maiden, Shangguan Xianyan.
Zhang Ruochen shook his head and said, “Mei Lanzhu was at least sitting in the 10th position of the King’s Seat at the Boundary Son Banquet, and can be considered as a top 20 peerless human being in the Kunlun Boundary, why is her temperament so small?”
Zhang Ruochen had only messed with Shangguan Xianyan to conceal his identity, and hadn’t thought of actually pursuing her.
However, he had never thought that because of this matter, he had actually caused himself to be killed.
Zhao Shiqi smiled coldly and measurably, ”My lord, how would you like to get rid of Meilanzhu in the Pixie Character Heavenly Palace, without the gods knowing it. Then, you go and become a divine son?”
It had to be said that Zhang Ruochen was still slightly moved by Zhao Shiqi’s proposal.
After all, the status of “Gu Linfeng” was still a bit too low, and he could not access the core secrets of the Blood God Sect, and his hands were tied when doing things.
If one could become a Divine Son of the Blood God Sect, then the situation would be very different.
There were two ways to become a Divine Son of the Blood God Cult.
The first way: kill Mei Lanzhu, and Zhang Ruochen would use the Formless and Phaseless Thirty-Six Transformations to change into his likeness and become the new Mei Lanzhu.
However, Mei Lanzhu was different from Gu Linfeng. Mei Lanzhu had been cultivating in the Blood God Sect, having been watched and raised by the Blood God Sect’s Sectmaster and the Elders, who also knew him very well.
It was difficult for Zhang Ruochen to change into his appearance without revealing a single crack at all.
After all, the Blood God Sect’s Sectmaster and those Elders were not stupid people, instead, they were all smarter than one another, so how easy would it be to fool them?
Then, there was only the second way: kill Mei Lanzhu and then compete for the position of Divine Son as Gu Linfeng.
If he was able to hide in the Blood God Sect as a Divine Son, not only would he be able to hide his identity, but he would also be able to obtain a large amount of cultivation resources.
Zhang Ruochen pondered for a moment and said, “Let’s put this matter aside for now and consider it slowly later. I still have one more important matter and must rush to the Pixie Character Heavenly Palace immediately.”
Zhang Ruochen flew back to the top of the snowy mountain and came next to Su Bai’s corpse, first checking her Qi Sea.
That sword earlier not only broke Su Bai’s Qi Sea, it shattered her Sacred Soul as well, and she couldn’t die anymore.
On Su Bai’s body, Zhang Ruochen searched out some holy stones, pills, and secret books. On top of that, there were three drops of Blood God Divine Blood.
The Blood God Divine Blood could be used to both resist the gnawing of the Blood God Compasses and feed the Blood God Compasses to make their cultivation stronger.
Zhang Ruochen put all the treasures, all of them, into his spatial ring. Then, with his gaze, he glanced towards Zhao Shiqi in the distance.
Zhao Shiqi stood in front of the head of the Discordant Heaven Sacred Elephant, taking out a healing pill from his bosom and feeding it inside the huge elephant’s mouth.
“It seems that he is sincerely reverting to me, when we reach the Pixie Character Heavenly Palace, we might be able to use him.”Zhang Ruochen’s heart secretly said.
Just now, Zhang Ruochen intentionally pulled away from Zhao Shiqi for a distance, just to test him.
If, Zhao Shiqi was faking his submission, then he would have definitely attacked Zhang Ruochen just now, or immediately fled and spread the news of Zhang Ruochen’s appearance.
Since he didn’t do so, Zhang Ruochen could continue to trust him.
