“Boom!”?Dozens of electric rays, falling at the same time, formed a large, piercing shuttle of light, striking down on top of Huo Yin’s Sacred Soul Domain, causing the domain to rapidly contract inwards.
Nowadays, Little Black’s strength, which was already very strong, was not below Huo Yin. Using the Seventh Order Divine Thunder Formation, the power of the attacks launched would naturally be even more impressive.
Huo Yin was also good, and held on for almost an incense stick of time before the Holy Soul Domain completely collapsed.
“Boom!”
The flaming bead that hung above his head became dull, cracking out and turning into a shattered crystal.
Seven thunderbolts landed on his body at the same time, striking the top of his head, his vest, his abdomen, and his legs, causing them to become a bloody mess, and a low, miserable howl escaped his mouth.
Immediately after, Huo Yin’s entire body was covered in black smoke as he fell from mid-air.
That Six-Eared Monkey, also struck by a lightning bolt, its entire body’s monkey hair turned into flying ash, as if it were charcoal, and fell to the ground with Huo Yin, fainting from the fall.
The body of a Half Saint was quite strong, even after falling from a thousand metres in mid-air to the ground, it was still intact and did not die from the fall.
However, Huo Yin’s body was the one that smashed the ground out of a deep concave pit. The large pit was filled with densely-packed electrical patterns that emitted a giggling sound, causing the soil to become scorched black.
Zhang Ruochen used his spiritual power to mobilise the lightning, wrapping his body and flying down to the ground, walking to the edge of the large pit and glancing towards Huo Yin.
When Huo Yin saw Zhang Ruochen, a look of fear appeared in his eyes, his body trembling slightly.
Even Half-Saints would feel fear in the face of death.
Xiao Hei heatedly laughed and stretched out his two sharp claws as he walked towards Huo Yin, saying, “Just with you, you dare to hit us, aren’t you too unselfconscious?”
“Little Black.”
Zhang Ruochen called out to Little Black and gently shook his head, saying, “He is also just following orders, his offence is not to death, let him live.”
Xiao Hei was slightly taken aback, really curious, when would Zhang Ruochen even let go of someone who was trying to kill him?
Whether the Ming Tang was surnamed Kong or Zhang, however, many of them were actually the old parts of the Sacred Ming Central Empire back then.
Zhang Ruochen really didn’t want to kill them until he had to.
Huo Yin was also slightly stunned, how could he not expect that Zhang Ruochen would let him off so easily. One had to know that when Zhang Ruochen had beheaded the Kings of the Military Department, he had not shown any mercy at all.
Originally, Huo Yin was already prepared to use the secret method to explode his Qi Sea and die with Zhang Ruochen, but now he could hold back for the time being.
Who would want to die if they could live?
Zhang Ruochen’s gaze, fixed on Xiao Hei and Lai Min, said, “Since Huo Yin was able to find us, the people from Ming Hall, should be coming over soon, we must leave immediately.”
After Zhang Ruochen, Xiao Hei, and Lai Min left, not long after, two peacocks flew out from the clouds.
Their bodies were very huge, occupying a sky tens of miles long and wide, and their feathers were distributed to emit six-coloured light and five-coloured light, like two dazzling holy clouds, on the ground, forming two huge shadows that covered the mountains.
On the bodies of the two peacocks, there was an incomparably huge aura emanating out, frightening the savage beasts on the ground and causing all of them to prostrate themselves on the ground.
Immediately, the two peacocks quickly fell downwards, their bodies continuously shrinking, transforming into two silhouettes that appeared beside Huo Yin.
The two silhouettes were a young man wearing a blue brocade robe, and an old man with a slim figure.
The young man was none other than the Young Hall Master of Ming Hall, Kong Hongbi.
Kong Hongbi looks very young and handsome, his skin is as fair as a woman’s, with a pair of six-coloured feathered wings on his back, and even if he is just standing there casually, he has a shocking aura.
Huo Yin endures his injuries and climbs out of the pit with great difficulty, arching his hand in obeisance, saying, “Greetings to Young Hall Master.”?Kong Hongbi’s finger, gently touched the spanner on his thumb, and coldly said, “Where is Zhang Ruochen?”?On Huo Yin’s face, an ugly expression appeared, and he immediately knelt down on one knee, propping his ten fingers on the ground, and lowered his head completely, saying, “My subordinate is incompetent, and I failed to capture him, so I ask for the Young Hall Master’s chastisement.”
To be able to shock a Half-Saint into kneeling on one knee, it could be seen that this Young Hall Master of Ming Hall must be an extremely majestic figure.
Kong Hongbi’s eyebrows furrowed as a cold, sharp look appeared in his eyes as he said, “Zhang Ruochen has already been seriously injured, and you can’t take him down?”
Huo Yin’s heart was terrified and he immediately told Kong Hongbi everything that had happened earlier.
Kong Hongbi sneered, obviously feeling quite comical, and said, “In other words, a Saint General of Ming Hall was actually seriously injured by a savage beast raised by Zhang Ruochen?”
Huo Yin’s entire body trembled as he felt Kong Hongbi’s anger, and beads of sweat kept appearing on his forehead.
That old man pleaded for Huo Yin, saying, “Earlier, when Zhang Ruochen fought with the Kings of the Ministry of War, old me had seen the cat that Zhang Ruochen raised, it indeed didn’t look like a mortal product, and the speed that erupted out of it wasn’t weaker than Sword Empty Son. It’s understandable that Huo Yin would miss.”
The look in Kong Hongbi’s eyes keeps changing, and he eventually puts away his anger and says, “That’s fine, now that Ming Tang is at a time when it is in need of people, my lord won’t bother with you.”
Huo Yin lets out a long sigh of relief and casts a grateful look over to the old man beside Kong Hong Bi.
The old man merely nodded at him and didn’t say much.
Kong Hongbi put his hands behind his back and looked out into the sky, saying, “Once we let Zhang Ruochen escape, it will be as hard as heaven to find him again.”?The old man with a thin figure said, “News just came in that strong men from the Immortal Blood Race have appeared in large scale within the Yuanfu territory, and I don’t know what has happened?”
“Immortal Blood Clan? Haven’t they always been active in the Northern Domain, how would they have the guts to come to the Central Domain? Could it be ……”
Kong Hongbi’s eyes narrowed as he said, “Could it be that they are hitting on the Underworld Sword Mound? It is said that an old ancestor of the Immortal Blood Race is imprisoned in the Underworld King’s Sword Mound.”
As the Young Hall Master of Ming Hall, Kong Hongbi naturally knew a lot of hidden secrets and had heard of the legend about the “Underworld King”.
After contemplating for a moment, Kong Hongbi revealed a smile and said, “Since the Undying Blood Clan has appeared in Yuanfu, it will definitely lead to a stormy meeting, we will also go and join in the fun to see how big a storm the Undying Blood Clan can create.”

Zhang Ruochen sat on Xiao Hei’s back and hurriedly rushed along, while also going all out to heal his injuries.
Li-Min, however, had been frowning tightly, looking fearful at all times, and every now and then, she would look in the direction behind her, fearing that another strong enemy would catch up with her.
The Spitting Elephant Rabbit became only the size of a palm, holding its round stomach, sitting on Limin’s shoulder, holding a bowl-thick Silver Bearded Ginseng in its hand, biting out a row of teeth marks.
It looked at Ri Min and appeared to be very relaxed, saying, “What are you so scared of?”
Li-Min gave a petulant humph and said, “You guys are too ignorant, don’t you know that the strongest members of the Ministry of War and the Hall of Brightness are most likely both chasing after us from the rear. As long as they catch up, we will definitely be in trouble.”
The Elephant Swallowing Rabbit looked rather disdainful as he spat out a piece of ginseng skin from his mouth and said, “You have to have faith in Master Dust, in the battle the night before, the seven experts from the Ministry of War couldn’t stop him. Now that Master Dust has broken through to the Half-Saint realm, even if the powerful men from the imperial court and the Hall of Brightness catch up, what can they do to him?”
Lai Min glared at the Elephant Swallowing Rabbit and said, “At that time, Zhang Ruochen was only able to fight the seven great experts of the court with the support of the Pure Destruction Divine Flame. With the loss of the Pure Extinguishing Divine Flame, even after breaking through to the Half-Saint realm, it is estimated that there is a certain gap between Zhang Ruochen’s strength and that of the seven great experts.”
Li-Min had read all the books, and she was even a hobbyist of hunting and ancient books, so naturally, she had a certain understanding of the Pure Destruction Divine Flame.
She added, “Besides, is Sword Emptiness not an easy person? Even if Zhang Ruochen uses the Thousand Stripes Destruction Strength it can’t help him, if, however, he strikes with his full strength, Zhang Ruochen is afraid that he won’t be able to block three swords.”
“Other than Sword Hollow Son, that Young Hall Master of Ming Hall is a truly terrifying figure.”
The Elephant Swallowing Rabbit was still just eating the Silver Bearded Ginseng and asked vaguely, “How terrifying is it?”
Ri Min didn’t want to talk to a rabbit, but Zhang Ruochen was like a rock, ignoring her at all, so she had no choice but to continue talking with the Swallowing Elephant Rabbit.
“Have you heard of the Half-Saint List?”Ri Min said with interest.
In the past, the students in the Ru Dao Academy must have been excited once the Half-Saint List was mentioned, and the crowd could chatter about it for a whole day.
The characters on the Half-Saint List were the real big shots, each with a high probability of becoming a saint, each with countless legendary stories that one could only look up to.
The Elephant Swallowing Rabbit didn’t even turn his head for a moment, saying, “Never heard of it.”?Ri Min’s interest was immediately swept away as she exhaled a long breath and said, “I knew it, you rabbit, you don’t know anything other than eating.”
“The Half-Saint List was compiled by the Holy Book Talent Lady, one of the Nine Heavenly Mysteries beside the Empress, after collecting information from the entire world and exhausting her efforts.”?At the mention of the Sacred Book Talented Lady, Li-Min’s eyes were filled with admiration and worship. Because, she had always regarded the Sacred Book Talented Lady as her idol and the goal she had been striving for, she was naturally quite excited.
