Once trapped, they would definitely be bombarded by the Warp and Weft Heavenly Net Formation.
Right after the Song Clan’s four siblings surrounded Zhang Ruochen’s four sides, fixing the space, in the Yin Yang Hall, the tops of the ten array towers suddenly radiated a dazzling light.
The Warp and Weft Heavenly Net Formation was breeding attacking power again, and a terrifying aura was released, causing those Evil Dao cultivators in the Yin Yang Hall to change their faces slightly and pull away from the four Song brothers and Zhang Ruochen, so as not to be bombarded by the aftermath of the formation’s power.
Naturally, Zhang Ruochen would not sit back and wait for death, grabbing the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword, the sword’s aura skyrocketed on the sword’s body, and the horizontal sword slashed diagonally down towards Song Xing, who was guarding the eastern side of the town.
“Hoo.”
An ear-piercing sword whistling sound rang out.
“Good timing, I was just about to meet the number one person on the Saint’s Merit List.” Song Xing hummed lightly, incomparably conceited, and actually lifted his silver-white Star Halberd and went up to Zhang Ruochen to meet him.
He thought that since he had fixed space, he was no longer afraid of Zhang Ruochen.
However, only just after the two battle weapons came into contact, Song Xing’s face changed violently.
The power coming from the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword was not only thick and heavy, but also unceasing, and it was simply not something he could resist. Only a “rumble” could be heard, and Song Xing was thrown backwards like a scarecrow.
“Third brother.”
“Third brother.”
Song Yang, Song Yue, and Song Chen were all shocked, where did they expect Zhang Ruochen to be so fierce that he would send Song Xing flying out in just a single glance?
Song Xing only felt that his five viscera and six bowels had been misplaced, the pain was excruciating, his throat was fishy and sweet, and a large amount of holy blood poured out of his abdomen into his mouth.
What made Song Xing even more terrified was that when he was knocked back, the Sun, Moon and Stars Combined Attack Formation also had a gap, and by the time Zhang Ruochen was free from the spatial suppression, it would be just like a trapped dragon coming out of the sea and an eagle soaring through the nine heavens, who would still be able to restrain him?
Zhang Ruochen indeed held such an idea.
Thus, he mobilised the power of time and prepared to execute the Time Sword Technique to rush out of the Sun, Moon and Stars Combined Attack Formation at the fastest possible speed, and to kill Song Xing.
“Wow-” Suddenly
, a shadowy figure swept over with an incredibly fast degree.
“Undead Void.”
Sensing the danger, Zhang Ruochen had to stop performing the Time Sword Technique and backhanded his sword, slashing in the direction behind him.
The sword light, like a layer of black water waves, crossed over Zhang Ruochen’s head and surged behind him.
“Boom.”
The swords struck each other.
It could be said that Zhang Ruochen’s degree of changing his stance, if he was even slightly slower, I’m afraid that his head would have already been chopped off by the Dead Void.
“Still so vigilant, trying to sneak up on you is harder than sneaking up on a Saint King.”
Undead Void’s laughter came from behind Zhang Ruochen.
Immediately after, an even thicker power surged out from the Void Moon Blade in Undead Void’s hand.
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes flinched as his body forcefully twisted over, his legs stirring up the shadows of the dragon and phoenix as he guessed fourteen steps and moved horizontally to the right, dissolving the blade force.
Dead Void, however, was like a shadow, continuing to infuse holy qi into the Void Moon Blade, quickly stirring up the Void Moon Blade’s One Flare of Perfection power.
There were more inscriptions that continued to emerge from the blade, seemingly trying to stir up the Second Flare Perfection power.
Dead Void locked eyes with Zhang Ruochen, and underneath his mask, a crazy smile appeared as he said, ”Zhang Ruochen, last time, I didn’t carry any power-increasing treasures, and I suffered a big loss when I fought you. This time, it will be different!”
The power on the Void Moon Blade grew stronger and stronger, as if it had transformed into a devilish moon, pressing down above Zhang Ruochen’s head, the light of the blade reflecting Zhang Ruochen’s face as it flickered.
“Lol. My strength, too, hasn’t stayed put.”
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes were icy cold as he also mobilised his Saint Qi and injected it into the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword, stirring up the inscriptions in the sword’s body.
Song Xing, who had been blasted out of the sky, finally stabilised himself and hurriedly took a Healing Holy Pill, and before he could completely suppress his injuries, he turned into a stream of light and quickly swept back.
He mobilised his Saint Qi into the Star Halberd, and with Song Yang, Song Yue, and Song Chen, he re-formed the Sun, Moon, and Stars Combined Attack Formation, locking down the space to prevent Zhang Ruochen from escaping.
“This is the time to first cut him in two.”
Zhan Yu, who was ranked at the top of The Saints’ Merit List, single-handedly carried his dragon tattooed golden saber and transformed into a dragon’s shadow as he rushed into the Combined Attack Formation and slashed his saber horizontally from Zhang Ruochen’s back.
Both Zhan Yu and Dead Void used swords, however, their Dao of the sword was very different.
Dead Void was bizarre and unpredictable, winning with speed.
Zhan Yu was overbearing and ferocious, winning with strength.
Both of them were first-rate powerhouses in the Saint realm, and it was almost impossible for any being under the Saint King to block their joint attack.
At the sight of Zhan Yu’s sword, outside the Yin Yang Hall, many cultivators couldn’t help but hold their breath. In their opinion, it was very likely that this blade of Zhan Yu would really cut Zhang Ruochen in two.
With Zhang Ruochen’s belly and back, the suppression of Divine Son Deadly Void in front of him, and Zhan Yu’s overbearing slash behind him, he would surely be heavily injured.
“Sinking Abyss.”
Zhang Ruochen shouted at the sword body.
The Sword Spirit of the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword emerged and stood on top of the sword blade, mobilising the nine Truth Rules and converging them on top of the sword body.
Immediately, the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword radiated an extremely bright sword aura, its power wildly doubled, and it actually repelled the Undead Void.
A deafening elephant roar resounded from Zhang Ruochen’s arm as his body spun quickly, swinging the sword body and dragging out a half circle of sword arcs as he blasted against Zhan Yu behind him.
The power of the Hundred Saints Force and the Elephant Soul, along with Zhang Ruochen’s own power, all exploded out.
“Rumble!”
As this strike clashed, the aftershocks of the swords surged outwards ferociously, filling the sky with sword and blade shadows.
Even though Zhang Ruochen used all his strength, his power was surprisingly still a step weaker than that of Zhan Yu, and he took a small half-step backwards before completely dissolving the power of the dragon tattooed golden sword.
Zhang Ruochen had read the information about Zhan Yu and knew that he possessed a Supreme Perfection Physique and was proficient in an ancient art of cultivating the physical body. He was originally a pure-blooded descendant of a divine dragon, and had refined a large amount of dragon souls, divine dragon blood, and divine dragon bones into his body, making his fleshly body so powerful that it was perverse.
In terms of strength alone, Zhan Yu could be invincible in all realms in the same realm.
While Zhang Ruochen was surprised, Zhan Yu’s heart was even more surprised. He simply did not expect that in the same realm, there were still cultivators who could compete with him in terms of strength.
Moreover, just now, Zhang Ruochen had still repelled Undead Void before striking out against him.
In other words, in a real head-to-head fight, Zhang Ruochen’s power would definitely be a bit more powerful than it was now.
Undead Void looked at the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword in Zhang Ruochen’s hand, his eyes slightly astonished as he said, “The Sword Spirit has actually comprehended the Rule of Truth, this sword of yours is truly a precious item.”
The Truth Rule was indeed able to increase the power of a Saint Art, but, mobilising the Truth Rule took time. When true masters dueled, even a single split second could determine victory, defeat, and life and death.
For example:
if Zhang Ruochen spent a split second to mobilise the Truth Rule. I’m afraid that before Zhang Ruochen could even perform the Sacred Art, Dead Void would have already used his terrifying Degree to split Zhang Ruochen’s body in half with a single slash in a split second.
The fact that the Sword Spirit was able to automatically mobilise the Truth Rule would give Zhang Ruochen a great advantage in a real battle.
Zhan Yu stared towards Dead Void and said, ”Zhang Ruochen’s Degree is not below yours. Strength, not below me. There’s simply no weakness, we must join forces in order to severely damage him.”
“Although I hate teaming up with people, but today, for Zhang Ruochen’s sake, I can make an exception.”
Against Zhang Ruochen alone, Dead Void really didn’t have much confidence. This was because he realised that compared to last time, Zhang Ruochen’s strength had risen by a large margin.
What was even more annoying was that a sword could even mobilise the Rules of Truth.
“Ow.”
On Zhan Yu’s back, twelve dragon souls rushed out in a row, each of which was surprisingly at the Saint King level. On the other hand, above his skin, a burning divine light was emitted, and a faint divine power surged out, combining with the dragon tattooed golden sword.
Against Undead Void and Zhan Yu, Zhang Ruochen didn’t dare to be careless, and lifting up the Dragon Spirit Crazy Bull Wine he drank a mouthful of it furiously, and the holy qi and blood in his body immediately operated wildly.
This time, Death Void also carried a treasure to increase his power, which was a ruby trigger finger that was worn on top of the thumb of his right hand. Instantly, the strength of Dead Void’s arm that was carrying the sword increased by more than double.
After stopping only slightly for an instant, the three of them, Deadly Void, Zhang Ruochen, and Zhan Yu, once again struck out and killed each other in a clash.
Because, the three were fighting too fiercely, other cultivators simply couldn’t intervene.
A half-step Saint King who thought he was powerful, seeing that Death Void and Zhan Yu were unable to attack for a long time, wanted to rush up to help them.
However, he had only just entered the Sun, Moon, and Stars Combined Attack Formation, and before he could strike, he was struck by three sword qi and five blade qi, and was instantly seriously injured, so he was scared out of his wits and immediately fled out of the formation.
The Green Fang, who possessed the same strength, was actually qualified to make a move, but he was startled when he realised that the owl that had followed Zhang Ruochen here was actually studying the Warp Heavenly Net Formation.
If that owl was allowed to, take control of the Warp Heavenly Net Formation, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Thus, the Green Fangs brought a dozen or so Evil Dao experts and surrounded them, wanting to capture that owl.
That owl was extremely cunning, the degree was sometimes fast, sometimes slow, the body sometimes became very huge, sometimes became only the size of a mosquito, it was actually very difficult to catch, but instead made them dusty and in a mess.
That owl’s mouth was very unclean, while escaping, it was also cursing and swearing profanely, greeting the ancestors of those Evil Dao cultivators chasing after it, infuriating the Green Fangs and the others so much that they gritted their teeth, wishing to roast it and eat it.
The battle between Zhang Ruochen, Dead Void, and Zhan Yu, however, continued unceasingly, hard to distinguish, fighting for thousands of moves, all kinds of cards and means were used, but there was still no winner or loser.
Above Zhang Ruochen’s head, the Warp and Weft Heavenly Net Formation condensed a destructive ball of light, which was enough to blast him into flying dust once it fell.
However, the cultivator presiding over the formation didn’t dare to act rashly, fearing that he might slip up and kill Death Void and Zhan Yu.
Outside the Yin Yang Hall, all of the Saint realm heroes from the major worlds had their jaws dropped in shock.
“Zhang Ruochen’s strength, it’s really terrifying, Death Void and Zhan Yu even couldn’t take him down when they joined forces.” A rather young-looking half-step Saint King gulped furiously, terrified.
Although Death Void was wearing a mask, many cultivators recognised the Void Moon Blade and his blade technique and guessed his identity.
A holy maiden of an ancient sect, in her beautiful eyes, flashed with a strange light as she said, ”There was a magnificent divine grandson in my realm who once fought with Undying Void. However, with just one slash, Dead Void chopped off that divine grandson’s right arm. If it wasn’t for the fact that Dead Void didn’t want to offend a god, I’m afraid that more than just a right arm would have been chopped off.”
“Half a year ago, at the Merit Battlefield, I saw with my own eyes that Zhan Yu slashed to death a second-step Saint King of the Hell Realm with a single slash. It only took one slash.”
…… In fact
, everyone thought that Dead Void and Zhan Yu had teamed up and that taking down Zhang Ruochen was a matter of rubbing their hands together.
Including Qiong Lin, he also thought the same.
Therefore, Qiong Lin had not been making any moves, but rather guarding the edge of the Sun, Moon and Stars Combined Attack Formation to prevent Zhang Ruochen from escaping. As long as Zhang Ruochen tried to break the formation, he would blast him back.
However, as time passed, Dome Lin was getting more and more disappointed with Death Void and Zhan Yu.
Thus, Dome Lin stared over towards the couple amongst the Evil Dao cultivators and said, “Mr Mu, Mrs Mu, I’m afraid that the two of you will have to make a move in order to battle it out.”
The cultivation of Mr Mu and Mrs Mu had both reached the realm of a five-step Saint King. Of course, their cultivation, which had been suppressed to half-step Saint King, was limited in the strength they could wield.
