The Half-Saint’s Light, which contained incomparably huge amounts of energy, each ray of light was like a river of hot magma, surging out from the Blood Spirit King’s brow and entering Zhang Ruochen’s Qi Sea.
The true essence in Zhang Ruochen’s Qi Sea boiled violently, and the power emanating from the Half-Saint’s Light looked like it was capable of melting his body.
Luckily, Zhang Ruochen had reached the Supreme Extreme Realm three times, invoking the resonance of the Gods three times.
As a result, his Qi Sea, which was guarded by the power of the Gods, was able to contain the power of the Half-Saint’s Light.
The Blood Spirit King let out a long whistle, and the surface of his skin quickly wriggled as a blood-red meridian emerged.
On his forehead, two cyan-coloured bumps grew. In her mouth, two long pointed fangs were revealed. That face, which was originally beautiful and beautiful, in an instant, became incomparably hideous, transforming into an ugly evil spirit monster.
A bloody aura was spat out from her mouth, causing the surrounding buildings to continuously corrode.
At the same time, her strength increased greatly as she waved a pair of blood-red claws and struck towards the Qiankun Divine Wood Diagram above her head.
“Boom!”
The Qiankun Divine Wood Diagram shook violently and tilted to the left, seemingly about to fly out.
“Not good, her blood qi, is unexpectedly so vigorous, the Qian Kun divine Wood Diagram will not be able to suppress her soon.”Xiao Hei’s voice, which appeared anxious, came out from the Qian Kun Divine Wood Diagram.
“Rumble!”
Huge sounds, rang out non-stop.
The Blood Spirit King slapped out thirty-seven palm seals in a row, finally sending the Qian Kun Divine Wood Diagram flying out.
Afterwards, she slapped out another palm, and a wave of blood qi surged out from the centre of her palm, like a wave of blood-red water, emitting a “clattering” sound.
In the centre of the water wave, a five-metre-large huge palm print was faintly visible.
Separated from the Qiankun Divine Wood Diagram, the Blood Spirit King’s power had completely erupted, and even if it was just a random slap, it was not something that the current Zhang Ruochen could withstand.
Seeing the flying palm print, Zhang Ruochen immediately executed Spatial Shift and disappeared in place, appearing above the Blood Spirit King’s head with a stroke of his finger, executing Spatial Power.
“Puff!”
As his finger stroked, space was torn apart, like a white sheet of paper being cut by a blade, and a long crack appeared above the Blood Spirit King’s head.
Sensing the danger, the Blood Spirit King immediately executed her Body Technique and rushed out to the left, dodging the attack of the spatial crack.
Zhang Ruochen seemed to have guessed that she would dodge to the left, so he once again cast Spatial Shift and appeared behind her first.
He executed a spatial rift and chopped at the Blood Spirit King’s right arm.
“Pfft!”
The Blood Spirit King’s arm, chopped off by a half-metre long spatial rift, flew up and was thrown into the distance.
Blood, dripped down.
In the hand of that one severed arm, a white light emanated, and it was none other than the Divine Meteor Scripture.
Zhang Ruochen grabbed that one severed arm, retrieved the Divine Meteor Scripture, and threw it to Cold Snow before attacking the Blood Spirit King again.
“Blood Spirit King, the Half-Saint’s Light in your body has been sucked out by me in its entirety. Losing the guardianship of the Half-Saint’s Light, today, is your time to die.”Zhang Ruochen said.
Fresh blood continued to gush out from where the Blood Spirit King’s wrist was, and that face was quite hideous as he coldly said, “If it wasn’t for the suppression of that one scroll, which caused my power to be greatly diminished, how could you possibly injure me?”
Just now, the reason why Zhang Ruochen was able to chop off the Blood Spirit King’s arm was not just the subtlety of spatial shifting. There was also a more important reason, the Blood Spirit King had indeed been suppressed by the Qiankun Divine Wood Diagram to the point that his vitality was greatly injured.
If not, a mere Heavenly Extremity Realm martial artist, no matter how heaven-defying he was, would not have been able to injure a strong person of the Sixth Transformation of the Fish Dragon.
Right at this moment, the great battle between the two of them finally startled Lei Jing in the Martial Market Stage House.
“What kind of evil spirit dares to come to the Martial City Stage Hall to cause chaos?”
Lei Jing’s eyes opened and he let out a long whistle as he flew out from one of the courtyards in the stagecoach pavilion, striking out a claw mark that struck the void.
“Splat!”
The empty void, subjected to Lei Jing’s attack, immediately surfaced a blood-red formation light shield.
At the top of the light shield, a fist-sized blood pearl was suspended.
From below, looking towards the blood bead, one could clearly see that a strand of inscriptions floated on the surface of the blood bead, which was actually a formation bead.
It was because the Blood Spirit King had fixed that one Formation Strain in the sky above the compound where Zhang Ruochen lived that the powerful people in the Martial Market Stage Hall did not notice the battle fluctuations inside.
Lei Jing was also the first to notice it because of his powerful cultivation.
“Wow!”
Lei Jing just waved his hand and struck, tearing apart the layer of blood-red light shield and rushed in, landing beside Zhang Ruochen.
Just before Lei Jing rushed out, the Blood Spirit King had already flown out of the Martial City Stage Hall and disappeared without a trace in a flash.
Lei Jing chased out, however, did not catch up with the Blood Spirit King and quickly returned, somewhat puzzled, “Surprisingly, it’s the scent of that Bloodsucking Evil Spirit from the Heavenly Demon Ridge, how did she chase after us to the Eastern Domain Sacred City?”
“It’s probably following us and tracking us all the way to this place.”Zhang Ruochen said.
Seeing Zhang Ruochen’s pale face and a thread of blood hanging from the corner of his mouth, Lei Jing immediately walked over and grabbed Zhang Ruochen’s wrist to check his injuries.
“The blood vessels in your body, broken for the most part, are relying on the Holy Dragon Power of the Dragon Pearl to hold on. If you don’t heal your injuries, I’m afraid it will affect your future martial arts cultivation.”
Lei Jing’s eyes glared as he chided, “Don’t hurry and heal your wounds immediately, if you are left with incurable dark wounds, it will be a lifelong regret for you.”
Earlier, Zhang Ruochen was only preoccupied with the fact that he had to leave the Blood Spirit King behind and help Coldsnow retrieve the Divine Meteor Scripture, so even though he had suffered serious internal injuries, he was still trying to persevere.
It wasn’t until the Blood Spirit King escaped that Zhang Ruochen realised that he was really badly injured.
Immediately taking a healing pill, Zhang Ruochen sat down on his knees and operated the fourth layer of the Nine Heavenly Bright Emperor Scripture.
The Green Void True Qi, which was rapidly rotating in the meridians, flowed out from the Sea of Qi and passed through the four limbs and five viscera, forming a large circumference that flowed through the entire body.
Wherever the true qi flowed through, the broken blood vessels were automatically renewed.
At the same time, the Semi-Sacred Light in the sea of qi transformed into a thin thread of light, following the Green Void True Qi and entering the thirty-six meridians of the entire body.
As the veins renewed, a small portion of the Half-Saint’s Light merged into the blood, while the majority of the Half-Saint’s Light was absorbed by Zhang Ruochen’s Martial Soul.
The Blood Spirit King had only fused one third of the Half-Saint’s Light, and the remaining two thirds were all absorbed into Zhang Ruochen’s Qi Sea, transforming into a ball of piercing light that hovered in the middle of the Qi Sea.
In the beginning, Zhang Ruochen had only refined one percent of the Half-Saint’s Light to bring the strength of his martial soul to a level comparable to that of a cultivator of the Fourth Transformation of the Fish Dragon.
From this, it could be seen how huge the energy contained in two-thirds of the Half-Saint’s Light was.
If it was completely refined, Zhang Ruochen’s martial soul strength would definitely be able to reach a level comparable to that of a Fish Dragon Ninth Transformation cultivator.
It took a whole day and night for Zhang Ruochen’s injuries to stabilise.
The major blood vessels in his body were almost completely renewed, and he had recovered 40% of his injuries.
As long as he didn’t fight anyone for three days, his injuries would be fully recovered.
Lei Jing had been guarding the side, watching out for the Blood Spirit King to go and return.
Only when he saw Zhang Ruochen standing up did he let out a sigh of relief and asked with concern, “Zhang Ruochen, there are no major injuries, right?”
Zhang Ruochen smiled and shook his head, saying, “Thank you for your concern, Master, I have the Dragon Pearl protecting my body, so even if the injuries are even more serious, I will be able to get through it.”
Lei Jing’s eyes were icy cold as he said in a deep voice, “That Bloodsucking Evil Spirit must have wanted to seize your Dragon Pearl, that’s why it chased her all the way from the Heavenly Demon Ridge to the Eastern Domain Sacred City. If you meet her next time, you must be careful.”
Lei Jing didn’t know the real reason why the Blood Spirit King wanted to kill Zhang Ruochen, and only thought that the Blood Spirit King had come to snatch the Dragon Pearl.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t want to explain too much over this matter, and following Lei Jing’s meaning, he said, “The person who wants to seize the Dragon Pearl is not just the Blood Spirit King?”
Lei Jing nodded and said, “That’s right, when you performed the Divine Dragon Transformation at the Pilgrimage Heavenly Staircase, you have already exposed the secret of the Dragon Pearl, and there is simply no way to continue to hide it, and in the future, I’m afraid that there will be even more powerful people rushing to deal with you.”
“In the Seventh Urban District, with all the many Half-Saints and Saints sitting around, it’s still relatively safe. Once you step out of the Seventh Urban Area, or out of the Eastern Region Sacred City, that’s where the real danger lies.”
The Blood Spirit King dared to strike at Zhang Ruochen in the Martial Market Stage Hall in the Seventh Urban Area, so she must have made a tight arrangement in advance.
This time, she failed to get her hands on him, and in the future, she would never have another chance.
In the Seventh Urban District, there was both the Sacred Academy and the Royal Academy, as well as martial arts halls opened by all the major Saint Sectors, so there was no telling how many strong people were gathered there.
For Evil Dao martial artists, the Seventh Urban District, was forbidden land, once they stepped in, they would definitely be killed.
Even the Xu Sage Clan, no matter how much they hated Zhang Ruochen to the point of gnashing their teeth, would not dare to lay their hands on the Seventh Urban District.
“Senior, I am well aware of the current situation, for the time being, I will stay in the Eastern Region Sacred City, impacting the Heavenly Extremity Realm’s Middle Extremity Position, and endeavouring to raise my strength. Only after the realm breakthrough will I consider travelling to the Market Realm Battlefield.”Zhang Ruochen said.
“That’s good.”
Lei Jing said, “I’m also in a critical period of breakthrough recently, so I’m afraid I’ll be in seclusion for a while and won’t have much energy to help you.”
Zhang Ruochen didn’t care if he could get Lei Jing’s help or not, instead, he revealed a joyful expression and said, “Could it be that Master Teacher is about to open up the Charge Spirit Sacred Vein and break through to the Fish Dragon Eighth Transformation?”
For Fish Dragon Realm cultivators, a total of five Sacred Veins had to be opened up in their bodies, and the Charge Spirit Sacred Vein was the last one.
By opening up the Charge Spirit Sacred Vein, the cultivator would be able to open up the five Sacred Veins, forming a great circulation throughout the body, and his cultivation would reach a whole new level.
Lei Jing gently nodded and sighed, ”Every change in the Fish Dragon Realm is a step, and crossing a step is one step closer to being a Half Saint. In fact, I don’t have full certainty, only that, I came to the Eastern Region Holy City to purchase some precious elixirs and pills, preparing to try to make an impact.”
“Hehehe! It’s also thanks to you, who passed on the Blood Nerve to me, otherwise, it would definitely be impossible for me to reach the peak of the Fish Dragon Seventh Transformation so quickly.”
Zhang Ruochen thought for a moment and said, “I can help Master.”
After saying that, Zhang Ruochen took out a huge piece of Black Water Glazed Crystal, which probably weighed twelve jin, and handed it to Lei Jing.
