The two glazed knights, both of them were at the cultivation level of the Fourth Change of the Fish Dragon, even if their heads were severed, their martial souls wouldn’t dissipate immediately, and before they died, they still had the remaining strength to continue launching attacks.
The hands of the two headless corpses, tightly grasping the white bone spears, simultaneously exerted force, mobilising the remaining strength within their bodies, piercing the spear tips into Concubine Lin’s body inch by inch.
“Boom! Boom!”
Zhang Ruochen struck two palms in a row, sending the corpses of the two glazed knights, flying away.
The entire process happened in a flash of lightning.
In the distance, the Nine Spectres Sword Saint stared at Zhang Ruochen, and the light emanating from inside his pupils manifested into thousands of sword qi, like tides and torrents, emitting swish-swish sounds as they flew towards Zhang Ruochen.
Just a single glance contained a vast sword intent.
The sword qi flew over, on the ground, leaving behind a tens of metres long sword mark, flying sand and stones, like hundreds of thousands of generals armed with war swords, killing in front of Zhang Ruochen’s body.
Zhang Ruochen stood in front of the iron cage, his gaze was very firm, and he had no intention of retreating at all.
When he decided to save Concubine Lin, he was already prepared to die with Concubine Lin, there was not a trace of fear in his heart, only a wave of helplessness and unwillingness.
“Shang Jiuhui, when did you degenerate to the point of striking out at a junior? This king feels that you are no longer worthy of the word Sword Saint.”
Seeing that Zhang Ruochen was about to die under the Nine Septic Sword Saint’s sword qi, a magnificent divine shadow rushed out from the Eastern Domain Sacred King’s Mansion.
No one could see his true face, only that his entire body radiated golden light like a blazing sun that pierced one’s eyes.
The golden silhouette transformed into a shuttle of light, pushing the air away and shifting to appear in the position between Zhang Ruochen and the Nine Spectres Sword Saint.
The Eastern Domain King’s body was like a rock, standing on the ground, unmoving as he quickly extended a large golden hand and struck forward.
“Wow!”
In an instant, the sky was filled with sword qi, all of which disappeared without a trace.
The Nine Spectres Sword Saint stared at the person on the opposite side and let out a laugh, “Old me is only a Sword Saint, not a Sage. Even if I am a sage, I can’t be perfect, Your Highness, would you be asking for too much? Besides, the Timeless Transmitter is not a generalist, so for me to take a shot at him would not be a loss of value, would it?”
The light emanating from the body of the Eastern Domain King was so bright that it was like a golden divine lake.
In the presence, no one was able to make out his figure except for the powerhouses above the Half-Saint level.
The Nine Spectres Sword Saint laughed, “It seems that the king seems to be in seclusion, he actually couldn’t even collect the holy light on his body before forcing himself out of seclusion, in that case, I have disturbed the king.”
“No harm done.”The Eastern Region King merely replied with two words.
The Nine Spectres Sword Saint said, “In the king’s current state, I’m afraid that if he fights with the old man, he’ll suffer a backlash from the holy light in his body.”
“There’s no need to worry, this king has already opened the Eastern Domain Sacred City’s Circumstantial Formation, I’m afraid none of you will be able to leave today, so all of you stay!”
The East Domain King’s hands were behind his back, his stance was upright and he appeared to have an extraordinary aura.
As the words fell, the aura rapidly expanded at the bottom of a deep valley at the centre of the Sacred King’s Mansion.
The stone walls on the four sides of the valley gradually peeled off, dropping their skins and revealing an ancient formation inscription. Hundreds of thousands of inscriptions surfaced, suspended in the air, connecting into a giant wheel of light, forming an ancient formation.
In the next moment, a pillar of light, a hundred feet thick in diameter, rushed up from the bottom of the valley, passing through the circular ancient formation and rushing straight into the clouds.
“Wow!”
“Wow!”
Throughout the Eastern Region Holy City, the aura of heaven and earth shook violently.
A dull roar came from the depths of the earth.
The Eastern Domain Sacred City was made from a star that had crashed to the ground and was remodelled. The diameter of the star was ten thousand miles.
At this moment, on the star, five continents and twelve seas, three hundred and sixty Sacred King’s Mansions, and a total of three hundred and sixty ancient formation platforms were all activated and functioning.
On the outskirts of the Eastern Region Holy City, there were a total of eight ferry cities.
In an instant, the skies of the eight ferry cities and pools became incomparably bright, with a strong white light shooting from the sky.
The martial artists in the ferry cities all cast their heads up and looked towards the Eastern Region Holy City in the sky.
Only to see, three hundred and sixty pillars of light, simultaneously rushed out from the Eastern Domain Sacred City, emitting a bright and dazzling light, forming a net that gradually wrapped the entire planet.
At this moment, countless people were stunned.
“What in the world has happened?”
“Why is the Perimeter Heavenly Formation opening?”
“The last time the Perimeter Heavenly Grand Formation was opened, I’m afraid it was back five or six hundred years ago, I’m afraid that something big has happened.”
It wasn’t just the martial artists of the eight ferry cities that were alarmed, even the saints in the Eastern Domain Sacred City were startled, and they all came out of their gates and began to find out what was going on.
A few moments later, they realised that not only was the Eastern Domain Sacred King’s Mansion in the midst of a melee, but the Eastern Domain Sacred City was already in chaos.
Just as the Circumstantial Formation opened, Chen Wutian and Zhang Ruochen also struck out at the same time.
Chen Wentian sat on the back of the Jail Beast, condensing the holy qi in his body and converging it into his arm, the Square Heavenly Painted Halberd in his hand turned crimson and stabbed into the Ghost Saint’s chest.
Blazing holy power surged out from the painted halberd, rushing towards the Ghost Sage’s chest, abdomen, skull, limbs, and five viscera.
“Chen Wutian you old me.”
The Ghost Sage let out a long and miserable scream, the Saint’s body was like a red-hot ceramic, and on his skin, a crack appeared.
Between each crack a red light emanated, and with a snap, the Saint Body shattered, turning into a fragment of holy light, forming a bright ray that rushed in all directions.
The energy that erupted from the fall of a Saint was naturally extraordinary.
“Boom!”
One of the holy light fragments, which landed on the ground, caused a destructive force that was comparable to a small meteorite impacting the earth, and on the ground, it left a large crater that was ten feet deep.
Hundreds of holy light fragments, flew out at the same time, some flew towards the Saint King’s Mansion, some flew towards the Black Market Saints, and some flew towards the camps of the four great Saint Sectors.
The Saint King’s Mansion’s eighteen layers of protective formations had been opened, enough to withstand the devastating impact formed after the Ghost Saint’s body exploded.
However, the cultivators and dead soldiers of the black market were unable to withstand the power that erupted from the shards of holy light, and apart from the few who had the saint’s refuge, the rest of the cultivators all transformed into a cloud of blood mist and died on the spot.
A large chorus of miserable screams rang out.
“Collect.”
Chen Wentian stretched out a palm across a distance of tens of zhang, grabbing the Ghost Saint Holy Origin that wanted to fly away, and like picking a star with just one hand, he collected it back.
Afterwards, Chen Wentian once again swung his Square Heavenly Painted Halberd and attacked the Illusory Saint hidden in the darkness, preparing to rescue the two Vein Masters of the Chen Clan.
“Boom!”
Just as Chen Wutian killed the Illusory Saint, Zhang Ruochen swung his Ancient Sword of Sinking Abyss and swung down, splitting the Xuan Iron cast railing in two.
Zhang Ruochen mobilised his True Qi and pulled out the Dragon Bone Spears that had pierced into Concubine Lin’s left and right shoulders.
Confirming that Concubine Lin’s life was not in danger, Zhang Ruochen immediately put a healing pill and gave it to her.
Zhang Ruochen grabbed Concubine Lin’s hands and continuously injected his True Qi into her body.
Seeing the blood on Concubine Lin’s shoulders and wrists, Zhang Ruochen bit his lips tightly, and the anger in his heart became even more intense.
He softly called out, “Mother! Mother!”
Concubine Lin slowly opened her eyes and glanced at Zhang Ruochen.
She then closed them again and fainted once more.
While Zhang Ruochen was healing Concubine Lin’s injuries, the saints of the Chen Clan had already fought with the saints of the Black Market, filling the sky with saintly shadows.
Second Senior Brother Zhu Hongtao and Third Senior Brother Wan Ke were also meeting the Black Market’s powerhouses, however, they were mainly on the defensive, always keeping a certain distance from Zhang Ruochen.
Once Zhang Ruochen was in danger, they would be able to immediately return to rescue him.
The Nine Spectres Sword Saint immediately ordered, saying, “Go, we must rush to leave the Eastern Domain Sacred City before the Circumstantial Formation completely closes in.”
After saying this, with a move of his arm, the Nine Spectres Sword Saint used his holy qi and rolled Di Yi up, performing the Sword Royal Art and flying towards the dome of the sky.
The Eastern Domain King stood on the ground and slowly raised his hands, communicating the aura of heaven and earth.
“Four Nine Xuan Gong, Hands of Rain Covering.”
Immediately, all the spiritual qi between heaven and earth converged above the head of the Nine Pale Sword Saint, coalescing into a gigantic palm that pressed downwards…
Standing on the ground, he looked upwards. That one gigantic palm occupied almost a third of the sky, and each palm line seemed to be as huge as a mountain range.
It was a hand that overturned the sky and contained unimaginably terrifying power.
“Sword Seven.”
The Nine Sephiroth Sword Saint stepped on a green-coloured holy sword with both of his feet, grabbing Di Yi with one hand as he pinched out a sword technique with the other.
Endless sword shadows converged towards him, arranging themselves into the shape of a cone, spinning without stopping, striking at the gigantic handprint in the sky.
“Swish!”
Under the holy sword’s sword light and the countless sword shadows wrapped around him, the Nine Spectres Sword Saint pierced through the rain-covering hand struck by the Eastern Domain King and flew to the top of the clouds.
Although, the Nine Spectres Sword Saint was not traumatised, Emperor Yi was dying as his entire body was squeezed by the power of the Rain-covering Hand, causing his entire body to become a bloody mess and suffer heavy injuries.
The Nine Spectres Sword Saint grabbed Di Yi’s pulse and immediately frowned.
With him sheltering him, it was surprising that Di Yi would still be injured, and it had to be said that the East Domain King’s cultivation was very strong.
Standing in the clouds, the Nine Spectres Sword Saint glanced downwards, his eyes sharp as he said, ”Worthy of the Four Nine Mysteries, it truly lives up to its name. This is the end for today, some other day, I will definitely pay a visit again to properly appreciate the subtleties of the Four Nine Xuan Gong.”
The Eastern Domain King said, “I’m afraid there is no more another day.”
The Circumstantial Great Formation violently spun around, and above the Nine Spectres Sword Saint’s head, a purple lightning bolt instantly condensed and struck down.
With the Nine Spectres Sword Saint as their leader, all the saints of the Black Market simultaneously struck out their holy weapons to fend it off.
“Boom.”
The light of the lightning bolt slashed between the saints of the Black Market.
A large chorus of miserable screams rang out, and in the sky, nine Half-Saint corpses fell.
The Perimeter Heavenly Grand Formation was an ancient strange formation, with a total of 360 formation bases, condensing the aura of the entire Eastern Region Sacred City, it was not something that could be resisted by human power.
“Puffing!”
The Perimeter Heavenly Grand Formation rotated once again and began to condense a second attack.
Above the dome of the sky, the imprint of a yin and yang fish appeared, a white fish and a black fish that kept rotating. Dozens of purple electric snakes, travelling between the yin and yang fish, seemed to be ready to slash down at any moment.
