Zhang Ruochen’s pupils shrank as he channelled his entire body’s Saint Qi into his arms, striking out twenty-seven palm imprints in a row, colliding with the Cloud Chaos Blood General’s claws.
“Boom boom.”
At the very beginning, Cloud Chaotic Blood General was barely able to withstand Zhang Ruochen’s palm imprints, but after the tenth palm, all of his claws broke.
The seventeen palm imprints that Zhang Ruochen then struck all struck the Cloud Chaotic Blood General’s body.
By the time Zhang Ruochen retracted his palm imprints, the Cloud Chaotic Blood General’s skin burst open and a large amount of blood flowed out.
His body, like a boneless ball of meat, was spread out softly on the ground.
If someone had rushed over to investigate General Yun Chaotic Blood’s injuries, they would have realised that all the bones and meridians in General Yun Chaotic Blood’s body had been broken by Zhang Ruochen.
Even though he had heavily injured two Immortal Blood Race powerhouses in a row, Zhang Ruochen did not slacken off in the slightest, and re-grabbed the Seven Sacred Serpent Spear, turned around with a suddenness, and met the Second Prince head on.
The Second Prince’s sword skill attainment was extremely high, and a four-foot long sword in his hand rotated rapidly, forming a sky-covering sword curtain.
Obviously, he could also tell that this Blood God Cult brat in front of him had an extremely strong physical body, which was why he didn’t fight him hard, but instead wanted to use his subtle sword technique to overcome the enemy.
“Sword One.”
In Zhang Ruochen’s heart, he chanted silently.
Although, it was the Seven Saint Serpent Spear in his hand, he still executed a sword move that carried the intent only found in Sword One and stabbed forward.
With just one spear, it shattered the sky full of sword qi and forced the Second Prince backwards.
The Second Prince looked towards a shattered hole at the position of his left sleeve, his heart was both shocked and angry as he said, “You are using a sword technique.”
“That’s right, it is indeed a sword technique.”
After saying this, Zhang Ruochen sensed something and gazed towards the position behind the second prince’s right side, and was able to clearly see that a figure with huge blood wings had manifested.
That person was merely standing calmly in the distance, yet he was emitting a heart palpitating power fluctuation, a circle of blood-coloured ripples that filled the air and enveloped the entire space within.
Obviously, this person must be that Imperial Uncle of the Immortal Blood Clan.
“The true powerhouse, finally showing up.”
Zhang Ruochen’s face, became quite grave as he put the Seven Sacred Serpent Spear into his spatial ring and summoned the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword, holding it in his hand.
The opponent must be a Saint, and with the Immortal Blood Race’s powerful physical body, even if Zhang Ruochen possessed the Five Elements Chaotic Body, he was definitely no match for him.
The only way to have a chance to win was to use the power of time and space.
Seeing Zhang Ruochen take out the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword, the Sacred Book Talented Maiden who was sitting on the ground, her pair of bright starry eyes exuded an eye-catching light, as if they were two watery black pearls.
At this moment, there were simply no words that could describe her mood.
Sure enough, it was Zhang Ruochen, who had actually risked death to come down to the bottom of the Endless Abyss just to save her.
It must be known that Zhang Ruochen was not the Patriarch of the Confucian Way, nor was he the Soldier Saint of the Imperial Court, merely a young Half-Saint.
What the Patriarch of Confucianism Dao and the Soldier Saint did not do, he did.
“Why is he doing this?”
As the Sacred Book Talented Lady thought about this, she was a little choked up and felt a great confusion in her fangirl heart.
Above that flawless face, a trace of shyness actually surfaced, instead forgetting that they were currently in an extremely dangerous situation and could die here at any time.
At this moment, the Second Prince’s gaze was tightly fixed on the spatial ring on Zhang Ruochen’s finger, as well as that black ancient sword.
“Zhang Ruochen’s sword, how did it end up in your hands?”
The second prince re-surveyed the opposite side then the Blood God Cult’s brat, really a little puzzled as to how Mei Lanzhu’s and Zhang Ruochen’s battle weapons could be on the same person’s body.
The Immortal Orchid King stepped out with slow footsteps, a pair of evil eyes emanating blood light staring at Zhang Ruochen’s body as if he had already seen through Zhang Ruochen.
He said, “Because, he is Zhang Ruochen.”
“He is Zhang Ruochen?”The Second Prince was once again stunned.
Immortal Orchid King said, “Other than the Five Elements Chaotic Body of Time and Space Transmitter Zhang Ruochen, who else is capable of injuring two Immortal Blood Race members of the Eighth Order Half-Saint Realm in a row with a cultivation of a Third Order Half-Saint?”
The Immortal Orchid King stood there with his hands behind his back, standing at all fours, the armour on his body resembling blood-coloured crystals. He was like an unshakeable mountain straddling in front of him, and any human under the Saint realm was afraid to despair when they saw him.
Even though, the rules of heaven and earth of the first echelon, suppressed his cultivation, his power, was still quite powerful, not something that could be compared to a half-saint.
Saints, no matter where they were, were also dominant.
In the eyes of a Saint, all the beings below the Saint realm were just ants that could be destroyed with a snap of a finger.
Immortal Orchid King stared at Zhang Ruochen and said, “Zhang Ruochen, this king has always felt that you are an amazing talent, as long as you take the head of the Sacred Script Talent Girl, present the Secret Scrolls of the Blood Race, and return to the Qingtian Tribe, you will surely be able to be crowned king.”
Zhang Ruochen’s gaze, fixed towards the Sacred Book Talented Maiden, smiled, and said, “Even if I’m willing to submit, I’m afraid that the Second Prince won’t agree.”
The Second Prince laughed and said, “Zhang Ruochen, you have not underestimated the magnanimity of this Prince, although, we did have some past grievances in the past, but as long as you are willing to defect to this Prince, the previous grudges can be completely cancelled.”
Following that, the second prince added, “The Sacred Book Talented Lady is one of the most favoured Xuan Maidens beside the Empress, if you can kill her, you will surely be able to make a name for yourself.”
The expression on Zhang Ruochen’s face didn’t change a bit as he said, “Unfortunately, I have a lifelong friendship with Miss Nalan, so it’s simply impossible for me to kill her.”
The Sacred Book Talented Maiden had already regained some of her strength and slowly stood up, her slender figure was like a stunningly beautiful string moon.
“Zhang Ruochen, that person across from me is a clan brother of the Qingtian Blood Emperor, called the Immortal Orchid King, whose cultivation has long since entered the Sacred. My injuries, if healed, will be enough to decapitate him.”
The Sacred Book Talented Maiden was reminding Zhang Ruochen not to fight hard with Xian Lan King for the time being, she could retreat first, as long as she was given some time to recover from her injuries, when that time came, they would be able to turn passive into active.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t want to fight hard with Immortal Orchid King either, with his current realm, he didn’t have any chance of winning against a Saint.
The Immortal Orchid King could see that Zhang Ruochen was unlikely to defect to the Immortal Blood Clan, so that blood-red eye, became a bit more hideous as he coldly said, “Zhang Ruochen will be handed over to this King, Your Highness, the Second Prince, you go and capture the Sacred Scripture Talented Maiden.”
However, before Immortal Orchid King and Second Prince could make their move, two black pills flew out from Zhang Ruochen’s hands, bursting apart in front of them and transforming into two deathly evil Qi clouds.
These two black pills, the latest to be refined by Zhang Ruochen, contained dozens of times more Death Evil Qi than before.
“Whew.”
Immortal Orchid King immediately grabbed the Second Prince and retreated backwards rapidly, retreating to a hundred feet away before stopping.
However, the Cloudwing Blood General and Cloud Chaos Blood General, who were severely injured, were not so lucky.
In the first instance, the Evil Qi of Death invaded their bodies, and the wounds all over their bodies immediately turned black, and their bodies suffered severe corrosion.
In the first echelon, their cultivation suffered suppression, and they were simply unable to resist the Death Evil Qi.
“Blood King …… Lord …… save me ……”
Within the black Death Evil Qi, the miserable cries for help of the Cloudwing Blood General were heard.
The second prince sucked in a mouthful of cold air and stared over towards the Xian Lan King, saying, “Imperial uncle, the two of them have powerful cultivation, they are two tough generals ……”
Without being able to finish the second prince’s sentence, Xian Lan King shook his head and said decisively, “The environment of this place is completely different from the ground, even with this king’s cultivation, once it is tainted with the Evil Qi of Death, it will be very difficult to dissolve it. Our mission is the Secret Scroll of the Blood Clan, so let’s go after Zhang Ruochen and the Sacred Book Talented Lady first, we can’t let them escape.”
Just a moment ago, after Zhang Ruochen struck the Death Evil Qi, he immediately grabbed the Sacred Book Talented Maiden and performed the fastest speed of his stance to rapidly escape into the distance.
While running forwards, Zhang Ruochen glanced towards the Sacred Book Talented Maiden, who was leaning in his arms, and asked, “How long will it take for your spiritual power to fully recover?”
Sacred Book Talented Lady’s pair of soft lotus arms, hugging Zhang Ruochen, appeared very quiet as she softly said, “Three days!”
“Three days?”
Zhang Ruochen glanced in the direction behind him and said, “With Immortal Orchid King’s speed, it will only take half an hour at most to catch up with us.”
If Zhang Ruochen was alone, even if he fought with the Immortal Orchid King, he would still be sure to retreat in one piece.
However, after bringing along the Sacred Book Talented Lady, Zhang Ruochen would naturally be distracted from taking care of her, and by then, it was expected that neither of them would be able to escape.
In the direction behind them, a river of blood mist condensed into a river, surging rapidly, getting closer and closer to Zhang Ruochen and the Sacred Book Talented Girl.
The Immortal Orchid King and the Second Prince, stood at the very front of the blood river.
The Sacred Scripture Talented Lady’s two eyebrows, gently knitted as she said, “My spiritual energy is completely depleted, and the blood qi in my body has also been lost in large quantities, I am on the verge of running out of oil, so if I want to return to my full strength, how can it be that easy?”
Knowing that the Sacred Book Talented Maiden was having a hard time, Zhang Ruochen stopped pinning his hopes on her, and in his mind, hundreds of thoughts flashed through his mind as he painstakingly thought of a solution.
Suddenly, Zhang Ruochen’s eyes lit up and he said, “I have an adventurous method that I can try.”
With that, Zhang Ruochen’s feet twisted and rushed in another direction.
If he wanted to deal with the Immortal Orchid King, he definitely couldn’t fight hard, so he could only borrow strength.
Borrow whose strength?
In the first echelon, one could only borrow the power of the blood beasts.
Therefore, Zhang Ruochen thought of the sleeping Cloud Gold Beast that he had met earlier in the first place.
“Imperial Uncle, Zhang Ruochen fled to another direction.”The second prince said.
“Here, no matter where he flees to, he is also going to the heavens.”Immortal Orchid King’s gaze was cold and sharp as he also changed direction and chased after him at a faster speed.
“Rustle.”
On the ground, sand and stones tumbled.
Wisps of blood qi had surged above the heads of Zhang Ruochen and the Sacred Book Talented Lady, and the Immortal Orchid King chasing after them was less than a hundred feet away from the two of them.
Ninety zhang, eighty zhang ……
The distance was getting closer and closer, and the bloody aura in the air was getting stronger and stronger.
