Zhang Ruochen didn’t give Mei Lanzhu another chance to strike, performing the fastest stance he could, rushing into into the mountain and using his finger as a sword, striking at Mei Lanzhu’s brow.
“No!”
Mei Lanzhu roared, flinging the Seven Sacred Serpent Spear with her right hand and striking Zhang Ruochen’s heart with a backhanded thrust, wanting to counterattack in the face of death.
Only unfortunately, the gap between the two was too great.
When Zhang Ruochen’s sword wave pierced through Mei Lanzhu’s Qi Sea, the Seven Sacred Snake Spear was still three feet away from Zhang Ruochen’s heart.
When top experts fought, even an inch was enough to separate life and death, not to mention a distance of three feet.
Mei Lanzhu’s body, set in the dirt, was still staring wide-eyed, and in the centre of his eyebrows, his third eye was completely covered by a bloody hole the size of a wine glass, with blood constantly flowing out.
His blood, which was quite hot, contained a powerful energy that melted the dirt.?A young king who had the chance to grow into a great saint should have had a brilliant future, ruling the Blood God Sect and ordering the saints of the Evil Dao.
However, today, Mei Lanzhu had ultimately fallen, failing to make any waves in this great world of geniuses.
Zhang Ruochen picked up the Seven Sacred Serpent Spear and held it in his hand, observing the complex patterns on the top of the spear.
“Buzz.”
Seven powerful Artifact Spirits emerged, causing the Serpent Spear to tremble ceaselessly as it erupted with an exceptionally strong force, trying to fly out of Zhang Ruochen’s hand.
“It’s actually a Thousand Stripes Saint Artifact, inside it, it seems that there are seven Saint Gnarl Python’s Saint Souls sealed, and someone has taken the seven Saint Souls and refined them into the Artifact Spirit of the Snake Spear.”
In Zhang Ruochen’s hands, blazing flames emerged, completely refining the aura that Mei Lanzhu had left in the Seven Saint Snake Spear.
“It’s best to be at peace, it won’t be a difficult task for me to exterminate you all.”
Zhang Ruochen used his spiritual power to transmit a strong will to the seven artefact spirits.
Zhang Ruochen’s deterrence obviously still had some effect, and soon, the Seven Sacred Serpent Spears did not struggle anymore.
With that, Zhang Ruochen collected some treasures of great value from Mei Lanzhu’s body, including pills, secret books, and holy stones.
“Huh! This is …….”
Zhang Ruochen found a rather special box, which was only half the size of a fist and exuded a piercingly cold power.
On the surface of the box, a layer of seal was set.
Zhang Ruochen slightly exerted his power, and the seal on the surface of the box unexpectedly erupted with a rebound power, releasing a thunderbolt.
Those thunderbolts, spreading from his fingers all the way to his arms.
“What a powerful seal, the person who set up the seal is definitely not Mei Lanzhu, with my current spiritual power, I can’t even break it open. I also don’t know what kind of valuable things are contained inside the box?”
Zhang Ruochen thought about using the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword to forcefully break the seal on the surface of the box.
However, it was quite worried that doing so would damage what was inside the box, and ultimately gave up on this decision.
Putting the box away, Zhang Ruochen carried the Seven Sacred Serpent Spear and Mei Lanzhu’s corpse, and leapt forward, breaking through the soil and returning to the ground.
“Boom!”
Zhang Ruochen threw Mei Lanzhu’s corpse out and threw it to Zhao Shiqi, saying, “Dispose of the corpse, don’t let those old generation figures of the Blood God Sect find out, or else, we will be in big trouble.”?Zhao Shiqi had already refined the fainted Qi Feng Flag Master into ashes, then, glancing towards Mei Lanzhu’s corpse, he smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Your Excellency, I’ll let those older figures of the Blood God Sect know that Mei Lanzhu was killed by the Blood Beast, and that it has nothing to do with us at all.”
“Hmm.”
Zhang Ruochen nodded ……
Suddenly, Zhang Ruochen detected an extremely subtle fluctuation of Sacred Qi, coming from the top of the snowy mountain behind him.?”Who?”
His face, which changed violently, immediately turned around and stabbed the Seven Saint Serpent Spear out.
At the tip of the spear, a holy qi condensed into an aura that transformed into a slender shuttle of light that flew towards the top of the snowy mountain with an extreme penetrating power.
At the top of the snowy mountain, a wisp of black evil qi coalesced together to form the figure of a black-robed old man.
“Boom!”
The power that erupted from the Seven Sacred Serpent Spear was still seven feet away from the black-robed old man when it was swallowed by an invisible force and dissipated cleanly.
“Haha! The Sea Underworld Venerable King actually has such a powerful disciple grandson, actually killing all of the Blood God Cult’s God Sons, that’s quite impressive to the old man.”
From the black robes, a hoarse laugh was emitted.
“Impressive!”Zhang Ruochen was secretly shocked.
Immediately after, he mobilised his entire body’s Saint Qi completely, shifted his legs slightly, and with a rather grave face, said, “Why do I feel that there is something familiar about the aura that you have on you?”
“Is that so? Your senses, on the contrary, are very accurate.”?At the top of the snowy mountain, that black-clothed old man lifted the hood that covered his face, and the black evil mist, which then dispersed, revealed his true appearance.
“Infinite Flag King.”
Zhao Shiqi’s face, became quite pale and he couldn’t help but take a step back.
The black-clothed old man standing at the top of the snowy mountain was none other than the battalion master of the sixth battalion of the Pixie Character Heavenly Palace, the Immeasurable Flag King.
Although the strength of the Immeasurable Flag King was the weakest amongst the six battalion masters, he still possessed a cultivation of the peak of the eighth rank Half-Saint.
Furthermore, because the technique that the Immeasurable Flag King cultivated was the “Heavenly Demon Hell Diagram” from the “Heavenly Demon Stone Carving”, one of the Kunlun Realm’s Six Wondrous Books. Thus, his battle power was quite strong and powerful enough to fight across realms.
Once, the Infinite Flag King fought with an elder of the Blood God Sect of the Ninth Order Half-Saint realm, and surprisingly, he won by a narrow margin.
A figure of this level was simply not something that he and Zhang Ruochen could fight against, and Zhao Shiqi naturally felt quite fearful.
There wasn’t a trace of panic on Zhang Ruochen’s body as he said, ”Lord Flag King, you should have already been nearby, right? Why did you just watch me kill the Divine Son?”
The Infinite Flag King let out a laugh and said, “Mei Lanzhu’s death at your hands only shows that he was still too weak to be worthy of being the Blood God Cult’s divine Son. Why would this Flag King save him?”
“Merely that?”
Zhang Ruochen said without slowing down, “Mei Lanzhu wanted to kill me because of that Holy Maiden. If you want to kill me, it should be because of the Rain Mio Blood Blade. Right?”
“That’s right.”
The Infinite Flag King said quite frankly.
Zhang Ruochen added, “If I kill Mei Lanzhu, you will not only get the Rain Mio Blood Knife, but also the Thousand Stripes Saint Artifact grade Seven Sacred Serpent Spear. It was because of this reason that you didn’t make a move to save Mei Lanzhu. Right?”
The Infinite Flag King laughed, “Gu Linfeng ah! Gu Linfeng! Surprisingly, even this King has looked away, I thought that you were just a small character who coveted beauty, but I didn’t expect that you were still such a clever character. It’s just a pity that you have met this king, then, today will also be destined to be your death.”
The two claws of the Infinite Flag King extended out from his sleeves at the same time, transforming into two black ** hands that were hundreds of metres long, striking at Zhang Ruochen and Zhao Shiqi respectively.
“Spatial Distortion.”
Zhang Ruochen immediately unleashed the Spatial Domain, mobilising the spatial power to distort the space within a radius of 100 metres, dissolving the Infinite Flag King’s attack.
“I’ll stop him, Zhao Shiqi, you go first.”Zhang Ruochen said.
Zhao Shiqi stared at Zhang Ruochen as a touching colour scattered in his eyes.
In such a dangerous situation, Zhang Ruochen actually let him leave first, if it was Mei Lanzhu, he would definitely not be able to do this.
On this point alone, Zhang Ruochen was a hundred times better than Mei Lanzhu.
“My lord, let’s split up and escape, the Infinite Flag King can only kill one person even if he is strong.”
“I have a way to get away, a mere Zhao WuLiang can’t kill me. Don’t talk nonsense, you leave first.”
“Alright, take care, Your Excellency.”
Zhao Shiqi was decisive and without further ado, he took out a scroll of holy edicts, inspired holy power, turned into a stream of light, and fled into the distance.
Just now, Zhang Ruochen had used his spatial power to defuse the Infinite Flag King’s attacking means, which naturally still caused the Infinite Flag King to be slightly stunned for a split second.
By the time he reacted, Zhao Shiqi had already activated the holy decree and flew out.
“Damn it, who the hell are you?”
The Infinite Flag King didn’t go after Zhao Shiqi, his eyes emitted a dark demonic light as he used his Heavenly Demon Pupil, wanting to see through Zhang Ruochen’s true form.
“If you want to know who I am, you must at least defeat me first.”
Zhang Ruochen didn’t immediately flee, and moreover, looked like he was ready to engage the Infinite Flag King in battle.
After all, what the Immeasurable Flag King truly cared about was the Rain Mio Blood Blade and the Seven Sacred Serpent Spear, and as long as there was still the slightest chance, he definitely wouldn’t choose to send a message back to the Pixie Character Heavenly Palace. Rather, he wanted to secretly kill Zhang Ruochen and privately swallow all the treasures.
If, however, Zhang Ruochen used the holy decree and escaped immediately.
Then, the Infinite Flag King would not be able to privately swallow the two Sacred Artifacts, and would definitely send a summons back to the Peyote Heavenly Palace to report everything to the Palace Master.
At that time, let alone going to the Endless Abyss, it would be a difficult task for Zhang Ruochen to escape the Blood God Sect.
“Haha! How dare you challenge this king, well, this king will fulfil you.”
The Infinite Flag King secretly rejoiced in his heart, and between his hands, a black demonic aura coalesced, emitting an icy cold aura of power.
“Heavenly Demon Seal.”
Within the demonic Qi, an ancient iron seal flew out.
The iron seal, which became more and more enormous, was like a small steel mountain as it attacked Zhang Ruochen.
“Rumble!”?In a one strike exchange, Zhang Ruochen was sent flying by the Heavenly Demon Seal, spitting blood from his mouth, looking quite wretched, seemingly suffering from extremely heavy injuries.
Zhang Ruochen jumped up from the ground and executed the Luanfeng Divine Seal Sprint, transforming into a ball of fiery light as he flew in the direction of the Endless Abyss.
“Still want to escape?”
The Infinite Flag King sneered, thinking that he had already heavily injured Zhang Ruochen and couldn’t escape from him, so he immediately chased after him.
Along the way, Zhang Ruochen fled while engaging the Infinite Flag King, turning eight hundred miles to battle to the edge of the Endless Abyss.
The Infinite Flag King flew three feet above the ground like a black ghost, looking at Zhang Ruochen, whose entire body was covered in blood, and let out a laugh, ”Behind you, is the Endless Abyss. Now, where else are you going to escape to?”
Immediately after, the Infinite Flag King added, “In fact, if you had used the holy decree given to you by the Dharma King of the Sea Underworld earlier, it is not certain that, this King wouldn’t be able to keep you at all. It’s just a pity that you are too arrogant to want to challenge this king. You are trying to kill and silence me, right? Tsk, it’s just that your cultivation was too weak and you weren’t able to reverse the battle, so in the end, you could only make this king whole. Pity, pity!”
Zhang Ruochen flicked the dust on his body, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and let out a laugh, “How did you decide that I was running away? Couldn’t it be that I could have, on purpose, lured you here?”
