Pei Ji didn’t know that Zhang Ruochen had released his spatial domain long ago.
Within the spatial domain, his every move was within Zhang Ruochen’s grasp.
Seeing that the Dragon Tattooed Aqua Sword was about to chop Zhang Ruochen’s head, Pei Ji’s mouth revealed an evil smile, everything should be over!
However, the next moment, his smile froze.
It was unknown what had happened, the entire space, as if it had frozen.
His movements, completely stopped.
However, Zhang Ruochen was unaffected and moved to the right, striking out with a quick palm, executing the sixth palm of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm, the Divine Dragon’s Tribulation.
In the centre of his palm, dozens of electric lights surged out, and a dragon shadow flew out, striking Pei Ji’s chest.
“Pfft!”
Pei Ji’s chest, slightly sunken, spat out blood and flew backwards.
This was how it was when masters fought, as long as there was a slight difference, the winner would immediately be decided.
Originally, with Pei Ji’s strength, even if he wasn’t as good as Zhang Ruochen, he would at least be able to fight Zhang Ruochen for hundreds of moves. It was only a pity that Zhang Ruochen had executed a Spatial Freeze, causing Pei Ji’s moves to pause slightly.
This split second of time had already decided Pei Ji’s defeat.
Other than Pei Ji, the Orange Moon Star Envoy and the eight glazed knights, however, didn’t know that Zhang Ruochen had executed the power of space, they only saw that Zhang Ruochen sent Pei Ji flying with a palm strike, once again seriously damaging Pei Ji.
The forty-first ranked expert of The Heavenly Ranking was like a child in front of Zhang Ruochen, and was completely no match for him.
“Impossible, impossible, how can it be so strong ……”
Pei Ji wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his heart was quite unwilling. Thus, he struck the ground with his palm, and with the help of the force of recoil, he stood up once again.
Even if an expert ranked in the top ten of The Heavenly Ranking wanted to defeat him, it wouldn’t be an easy task. Not to mention, it was just one Zhang Ruochen.
Suddenly, his eyes flashed as a sword light, chopped towards his neck.
Pei Ji was so shocked that in a split second, the hairs on his entire body stood up, and he immediately stimulated the power of his Dragon Marked Aqua Sword and blocked it horizontally.
Zhang Ruochen was striking with all his might, while Pei Ji was hastily parrying, and instantly, the difference between the high and the low was immediate.
“Boom!”
Pei Ji only felt that the sword was all before his eyes as a powerful force pressed down, forcing him to only take a step back in order to dissolve that force.
Immediately after that, Zhang Ruochen’s second sword, third sword ……, and subtle sword strokes were performed one after another, beating Pei Ji to a standstill, unable to defend himself.
Pei Ji’s realm in the Sword Dao was not high in the first place, forcing a sword fight with Zhang Ruochen, of course he could not be Zhang Ruochen’s opponent.
However, if he didn’t use the Dragon Marked Aqua Sword, how would he be able to block the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword at the Saint Artifact level?
I’m afraid that he would die even faster.
“Zhang Ruochen after breaking through the realm is too terrifying, if I don’t break through to the Fish Dragon Realm, I definitely won’t be his opponent. In that case, today, I must also break through the realm.”
Pei Ji’s mind turned, and a ruthless colour flashed in his eyes.
“Clang!”
Right at this moment, an ear-piercing sword sound rang out as eye-catching sword light, broke through the air and flew in.
Pei Ji pressed his sword with both hands and swung the Dragon Marked Aqua Sword across, clashing with the tip of the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword. The Dragon Mark Bishui Sword bent backwards, forming a sword bow.
“Boom!”
The sword bow bounced, and Pei Ji flew out backwards at an extremely fast speed, landing dozens of feet away.
Pei Ji stood firmly on his feet, still feeling numbness in his arms, and so, he immediately revolved his true qi to dissolve the trauma he received in his arms.
“Zhang Ruochen, I have to admit that you are indeed worthy of the title of King of the younger generation. However, it’s impossible for you to defeat me.”
Pei Ji took out a pigeon egg-sized crimson red elixir and pinched it between his two fingers, “This Semi-Saint Blood Elixir was originally intended to be taken when I encountered a bottleneck in the future. However, for the sake of that one dragon pearl of yours, it would be worthwhile to take it now.”
The Half-Saint Blood Pill was refined from the blood of a Half-Saint, not only did it contain a powerful blood qi, but, it also carried a surge of the Half-Saint’s holy power, making it an absolutely supreme divine medicine for the clansmen of the Immortal Blood Clan.
Pei Ji was the one who was preparing to take the Half-Saint Blood Pill and impact the Fish Dragon Realm.
As long as he could reach the Fish Dragon First Transformation, he would definitely have a huge increase in strength, and with a flip of his hand, he would be able to subdue Zhang Ruochen and seize the Dragon Pearl in Zhang Ruochen’s body.
“No, we can’t let him break through the Fish Dragon Realm.”
Zhang Ruochen no longer had any scruples and immediately executed Spatial Shift, appearing in front of Pei Ji and quickly stabbing out with his sword, striking at his right hand, wanting to snatch away the Half-Saint Blood Pill.
Pei Ji immediately executed the Remnant Shadow Nine Star Steps, his body transforming into a phantom, transforming into nine silhouettes as he retreated backwards at a rapid pace.
Changing his orientation nine times in a row, Pei Ji thought that he had gotten rid of Zhang Ruochen and was about to take the Half Saint Blood Pill.
“Giggle!”
A bloody sword struck through the back of his neck and pierced through his mouth.
“Err ……”
That one Half-Saint Blood Pill had been put to Pei Ji’s lips, but in the end, he was unable to take it. Pei Ji took one last look at the sword that had pierced through his mouth, and his entire body shuddered.
Just a little bit, just a little bit ……
As he was dying, Pei Ji gathered his entire body’s strength and frantically struck a palm behind him, wanting to die with Zhang Ruochen.
“Boom!”
Pei Ji’s palm force left a large pit with a diameter of more than ten metres on the ground behind him. The ground around the large pit was also in pieces.
However, Zhang Ruochen had just used the Sword Royal Art to pierce the back of Pei Ji’s neck through the air, so he was not standing behind Pei Ji, and Pei Ji’s death-defying strike did not injure him at all.
Zhang Ruochen waved his sleeve, brushing away the dust that surged over.
“Wow!”
His arm reached out, and the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword flew back, falling back into his hands.
“I am …… unwilling ……”
Pei Ji saw Zhang Ruochen walking over step by step, his eyes bulged out and he still wanted to strike a blow, but unfortunately, the power in his body had already been depleted, and even though the Immortal Blood Clan’s life force was strong, he could not hold on any longer at this moment.
“Boom!”
Pei Ji only took a step forward before his body fell to the ground on one side.
Zhang Ruochen used his spiritual power to check and confirm that Pei Ji was truly dead before he crouched down and took that one Half Saint Blood Pill from Pei Ji’s hand.
Zhang Ruochen observed that one Half-Saint Blood Pill for a while and found that on the surface of the pill, there were countless to pill inscriptions engraved on it, and it didn’t just contain the blood of a Half-Saint, but also the scent of a large amount of blood of an ordinary martial artist.
“Sure enough, it’s the Immortal Blood Race’s technique of refining blood pills, it seems that they’ve really returned!”
Zhang Ruochen had some knowledge of the Immortal Blood Clan and knew very well that not only would they suck the blood of the living, they would also treat it as a spiritual medicine and refine it into a Blood Pill.
The blood of a Half Saint was the main medicine.
The blood of other martial artists was all the dispensing medicine.
Thousands of humans would be killed and gathered into a lake of blood.
Eventually, the lake of blood, would be refined and turned into a furnace of blood pills.
In a furnace of blood pills, it was estimated that there would only be so many pills, or a dozen of them, each of which contained an unusually large amount of blood qi.
Zhang Ruochen put away the Half-Saint Blood Pill and searched Pei Ji’s body again, not finding any other blood pills, but finding three other True Martial Treasure Weapons, one Ninth Order True Martial Treasure Weapon and two Tenth Order True Martial Treasure Weapons.
Zhang Ruochen collected all of them and prepared to give them to the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword for refining.
Afterwards, Zhang Ruochen picked up that Saint Sword Dragon Marked Aqua Sword as well, and then retraced his steps back and began to clean up the battlefield.
Since he had already exposed his spatial power, Zhang Ruochen would not leave any survivors, killing all eight of those glazed knights and storing the eight sets of intact glazed armour into his spatial ring.
Each set of glazed armour could be worth a lot of money, even if they weren’t taken out and sold, giving them to people like Si Xingkong and Chang Qiqi could greatly increase their strength, giving them the ability to defend themselves in the Holy Courtyard.
As for the eight Dragon Bone Spears, all of them were refined by the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword, transforming them into eight basic inscriptions.
At the same time, Zhang Ruochen searched out some True Martial Treasure Weapons from the eleven Heavenly Extremity Realm Great Perfection martial artists sent out by the three Saintly Sectors, and all of them were also handed over to the Ancient Sword of the Sinking Abyss for refining.
After absorbing all the True Martial Treasure Weapons, the base inscription in the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword increased by dozens to a total of two hundred and forty-one.
Not only, did the blade of the sword become sharper, the weight of the sword body, also increased by a lot.
Only after doing all this did Zhang Ruochen walk over in the direction of Little Black and the Orange Moon Star Envoy.
When the Orange Moon Star Envoy saw that Zhang Ruochen had killed Pei Ji, immediately, his brows furrowed and he let out a long sigh.
How could Zhang Ruochen be so strong?
I’m afraid that only the Yellow God Star Envoy, the number one on The Heavenly Ranking, had arrived and had a ten percent chance of defeating him.
However, the Yellow God Star Envoy was still in the Xuanwu Ruins Realm impacting the Heavenly Extremity Realm’s Supreme Extremity Realm, and it was simply impossible for him to come to the Wood Essence Ruins Realm.
In that case, it had become an extravagant hope for her to escape.
It was just that I didn’t know what Zhang Ruochen would do to her.
