The five-foot dwarf, the crocodile-headed Evil Supreme Saint, and the fanged Evil Woman were all startled by Blood Cliff’s explosive shout.
They were all first-rate powerhouses, and immediately reacted, taking steps to spread out, and all of them operated the holy qi in their bodies, their entire bodies being wrapped in holy light.
Blood Cliff was even better, and in the blink of an eye, he shot out a blood-red spike, striking towards the location where the spatial fluctuation was located.
The blood red spike was a Ten Thousand Lines Sacred Artifact that had been hidden inside Blood Cliff’s sleeve.
Blood Cliff had long since stirred up the One Flare Perfection power of the spike, and as long as Zhang Ruochen appeared, he would immediately be able to strike the spike out, thus catching Zhang Ruochen off guard.
Even if he couldn’t kill Zhang Ruochen, as long as he was able to injure Zhang Ruochen, he would still be able to make a name for himself amongst the Evil Dao cultivators in the future.
“What a fast reaction degree.”
Zhang Ruochen was originally prepared, at the first opportunity, to take seventeen heads.
But now, he had to change his strategy, after all, a Ten Thousand Lines Sacred Artifact that had stirred up the power of Perfection to hit his body, even if his fleshly body was strong, he would definitely be injured.
“Wow-”
In the space
, a circle of ripples emerged.
At the centre of the ripples, a golden palm stretched out and blasted together with the blood-red spikes. Immediately, berserk Saint Force energy surged out crazily in all directions.
“Zhang Ruochen really came!”
“How on earth did he break through the triple defence formation without a sound?”
“Let’s not worry about that first, let’s activate the Triple Evil Star Formation immediately and trap him.”
The five-foot dwarf, the crocodile-headed Evil Dao Supreme Saint, and the fanged Evil Woman immediately injected their holy qi into the killing formations at their feet. Immediately, the formation patterns of the three killing formations emerged, completely enveloping an area tens of feet in circumference.
Above their heads, then, each of them condensed a rocky orb with a diameter of ten feet.
Looking at the texture on top of the orb, it was simply like a scaled down version of a planet.
And these three rocky orbs were indeed sacrificed using three asteroids that were a thousand miles in diameter, and were integrated with the three killing formations. Activating any of the formations would have the power to blast a one-step Saint King to death.
When the three killing formations were activated at the same time, forming the Triadic Evil Star Formation, it was even capable of imprisoning space to a certain extent, and even suppressing a two-step Saint King and trapping a three-step Saint King, which was frighteningly powerful.
“Strike together, attack out and suppress Zhang Ruochen.”
The three Evil Dao Supreme Saints were extremely excited, as long as they were able to capture Zhang Ruochen, it would be an overwhelming feat. With the power of the Triadic Evil Star Formation, they still had some confidence in accomplishing this feat.
However, they had just wanted to activate the formation to strike out the three ten-foot-diameter rocky orbs when they realised that the formation had unexpectedly slipped out of their control.
Before they could reflect, they felt a coldness in their chests and looked down.
Only to see that their bodies were penetrated by a vine.
On the vine, a root as slender as silk grew out, drilling into their flesh and blood, instantly sucking them into dry corpses.
“Giggle.”
Within the bodies of the three dry corpses, Pure Destruction Divine Flame surged out, and in the next moment, they were turned into ashes.
Devil Voice’s slender figure, manifested, her brows gently frowning, “I’ve already broken through to the Saint King realm, and I’ve only sucked in three Supreme Saints, how come I can’t hold on? It seems that the blood qi and holy power contained by the Supreme Saints is far more than the average Saint.”
As Zhang Ruochen’s parasitic plant, Devil Voice could gain many benefits from Zhang Ruochen’s body.
For example, she had absorbed a strand of Pure Destruction Divine Flame from Zhang Ruochen’s body, which she could use as a means of attack.
“Rumble.”
The golden palm in the spatial ripples stalemated with the blood-red spike for a moment before it exploded with an even stronger force, hitting the spike and sending it flying backward, violently hitting the ground.
Blood Cliff’s face changed drastically and immediately retreated into the distance.
Zhang Ruochen stepped out of the spatial ripples and didn’t go after Blood Cliff, but, instead, flew above the gate of the Yin Yang Hall and reached out to untie the chains on his second senior brother’s head.
In the shrivelled head, an extremely anxious and weak voice came out, “Junior Senior Brother, hurry back, they have done something in my head ……” “Escape
, escape!”
A heartbreaking roar came out of Third Senior Brother’s head.
“Little senior brother, don’t care about us …… leave immediately, we will be senior siblings again in the next life …… perhaps there is no more afterlife …… “Fifth senior sister said.
Granny Baisu’s voice rang out, “Your Highness, Your Highness, this is a trap, you have to hurry to escape ah …… ” “Your Highness
, don’t avenge us, for the sake of the hundreds of millions of people of the Sacred Brightness Central Empire, you must live. ”
The voices of those dozens of minions of the Sacred Brightness Central Empire came out from the head with an incomparably sad tone, like the last shouts on a battlefield.
“Puffing.”
The seventeen dried up heads, hanging on top of the chains, at this moment, a crimson texture actually emerged, and a terrifying and overwhelmingly destructive aura came out from within.
In the heads, only a mournful scream remained.
“Surprisingly so vicious.”
Zhang Ruochen naturally understood what was going on, knowing that he would not be able to bring them back today; it was so obvious that he was within reach, but he just couldn’t save them, it was simply devastating.
In this instant, Zhang Ruochen’s mind conjured up images of what had happened.
“Your Third Senior Brother is out and out stingy, but Second Senior Brother isn’t in the same boat as him. What’s there to give away to your own senior brother?” As he said this, Zhu Hongtao was spitting out the Beast Origin Gold Pill from his mouth and handed it over to Zhang Ruochen.
“As much as I want to break through to the Half-Saint realm as soon as possible, I won’t take such a shortcut. What’s the difference between swallowing Second Senior Brother’s Beast Origin Gold Pill and sucking Second Senior Brother’s blood?”
“Junior Brother’s character is something that Second Senior Brother greatly admires. However, how about we are brothers in our own family, there’s no need to be so outgoing, right?”
…… “I
would like to be Junior Senior Brother’s cultivation protector, sheltering Junior Senior Brother for thirty years, whoever dares to be unfavourable to Junior Senior Brother, I, Old Zhu, will definitely teach him to be a good person.”
…… “Junior
Senior Brother, this Meteor Invisibility Clothes, just take it, Third Senior Brother can no longer use it.”
…… “Crown
Prince, Crown Prince, are you really the Crown Prince? Have you returned?” Granny Bai Su trembled and said with tears in her eyes.
…… “As long as
Your Highness returns, the Sacred Brightness Central Empire will not be considered extinct.”
…… “Your Highness
, we’ll blow up our own Saint Source to clear the way for you.”
……
A scene from the past
quickly flashed before Zhang Ruochen’s eyes, and without realising it, his eyes, in fact, became completely moist.
Inside the seventeen heads, seventeen Saint Sources, under the triggering of a secret method, burst apart, releasing seventeen strands of heaven-destroying power.
“Rumble.”
The power that was formed by using a secret method to induce the Saint Origin to burst apart was far inferior to the power of a cultivator’s self-detonation. However, it was still quite terrifying, and with the Yin Yang Hall as the centre radiating outwards, half of the Tendu Sacred City gently trembled.
An unknown number of cultivators were startled, realising that something big had happened to the Yin Yang Hall.
Countless beings were speculating that it was likely that Zhang Ruochen had struck out at the Yin Yang Hall. Thus, they were like densely-packed locusts, bursting out with a cracking sound as they hurried towards the area where the Yin Yang Hall was located.
Outside the Yin Yang Hall, the Phosphorus Demon Dog had already been blown to pieces by the seventeen heads, bursting out with power.
Devil Voice had long since followed Zhang Ruochen’s orders and retreated to the distance, joining up with Ling Feiyu.
Xiao Hei controlled three rock orbs with a diameter of ten feet, blocking the shocking air waves emanating from the bursting of the heads. The three rock orbs, however, were pitted by the bombardment, and some cracks even appeared.
Zhang Ruochen, on the other hand, stood in front of the three rock orbs, his eyes somewhat wooden, his body tattered and riddled with holes, as if it would fall apart at any moment.
When the dust had dissipated a bit, outside the main door of the Yin Yang Hall, there were already densely packed evil shadows standing, both humanoid and half-human, half-beast, as well as some other forms of evil beings.
They surrounded Zhang Ruochen.
Among them, the masked Undead Ruin, stood in the forefront position, playing with the Void Moon Blade in his hand as he let out a laugh, ”Recently, my cultivation has, once again, improved greatly, and I would have loved to have a fair and separate battle with you again. You are such a rare opponent, but it’s a pity that you are so heavily injured now. Tsk, in the future, I guess I won’t have the chance!”
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes were calm as he scanned the evils present, looking at the hideous, complacent, and arrogant smiles on their faces, and said in the coldest and deepest of voices, “You guys have really angered me this time.”
The Green Fang, who was ranked seventy-third on The Saints’ Merit List, opened his lips, revealing a mouthful of sharp, green-coloured teeth, and said, “Putting out vicious words, who wouldn’t? However, so what if I provoke you, in this world, it ultimately depends on whose fist is harder and whose strength is stronger.”
The same powerhouse on the Sage Merit List, Zhan Yu, walked out carrying a dragon tattooed golden sword and said, “Zhang Ruochen has been injured so badly, Duke Ruin can’t look at him, however, I, Zhan Yu, would like to have a meeting with this No. 1 figure on the Sage Merit List.”
Apart from Zhan Yu, a few more half-step Saint Kings of notable strength walked out, all wanting to fight Zhang Ruochen alone, and actually argued.
There was no way around it, the reputation of being the number one in the Saint Merit Ranking was just too big, and regardless of whether Zhang Ruochen had been injured or not, as long as one was able to defeat him with their own hands. Then, whoever would be able to do so would have a huge increase in prestige, and this battle could become the money for bragging rights in the future.
Therefore, they all wanted to step on Zhang Ruochen’s corpse, make a name for themselves, and gain the most benefits.
At this time, Zhang Ruochen was laughing in anger, and his laughter became louder and louder, shaking the clouds.
“Hehe, look guys.”
An Evil Dao cultivator, exclaimed.
The few Evil Dao great figures who were still arguing immediately stopped and stared towards Zhang Ruochen. Only to see that Zhang Ruochen’s body, surprisingly, burned up and quickly turned into ashes.
“That’s just …… one of Zhang Ruochen’s doppelgangers ……” These
Evil Dao cultivators finally came to their senses.
They all thought that Zhang Ruochen had been counted and severely injured, but now it seemed as if Zhang Ruochen had anticipated it and had only used a bilocation.
Only, this doppelganger was too real.
Blood Cliff, on the other hand, twitched the corners of his mouth and sucked in a mouthful of cool air as he said in his heart, ”Also at the half-step Saint King realm, Zhang Ruochen is even stronger than me with just a doppelganger. How strong must his true body be?”
One must know that Blood Cliff was not a weakling, and was considered to be the topmost batch of powerhouses amongst the half-step Saint Kings, having the strength to fight against one-step Saint Kings.
On the opposite side of the Yin Yang Hall, in the darkness, a slow footstep sounded.
Zhang Ruochen’s real body, stepped out step by step and asked out, “Who is the one who placed the forbidden spells inside those heads, come forward, I will drink his blood.”
In fact, Zhang Ruochen had long been psychologically prepared, knowing that those Evil Dao cultivators would definitely arrange extermination techniques inside the heads, and it was impossible for him to remove the seventeen heads, which was why he used his doppelgänger to test the waters.
Even if he was mentally prepared, so what?
After the tragedy was truly born, his heart, was still incomparably heavy with pain.
