Next to him, Ji Ghost stared at Zhang Ruochen with pitying eyes, as if he had been able to predict that Zhang Ruochen would surely have no good fruit to eat today.
In the eyes of Ji Ghost and a pole of Evil Dao Overlords, Zhang Ruochen was too young and had only been with the Red Desire Star Envoy for a very short period of time. In terms of age and seniority, how could he be qualified to step on the heads of the crowd and become the Grand Protector?
Besides, they had all learnt the news that this one Grand Protector’s strength was not outstanding at all, and could only compete with the likes of Ji Ghost and Luo Shi.
Who would be convinced by such a person being the Grand Protector?
Originally, Zhang Ruochen had decided to sit at the end of the chair because he didn’t want to be in the limelight, lest he be hated. However, he didn’t expect that these evil overlords would still refuse to let him go.
Since this was the case, he could only be stronger than them.
Zhang Ruochen was still sitting on top of the sixteenth chair on the left, looking calm and collected, glancing at the crowd contemptuously and saying, “I’m the Grand Protector, I’m afraid that it’s out of your hands as to where I’m going to sit!”
“Is that so? Since that’s the case, I’ll come to meet the Great Protector for a while and learn about the Great Protector’s superior skills.”
The Red Sea Evil Monk took big steps towards Zhang Ruochen, and with every step, the blood aura emanating from his body was going to be one point denser. When he walked to the front of Zhang Ruochen, no one could see the Red Sea Evil Monk’s figure, only a dense blood cloud could be seen.
The blood cloud emitted the sound of thunder and lightning travelling through it, and the blood qi kept wriggling and changing into different forms.
To be able to sit in the seventh chair on the left already shows the powerful strength of the Red Sea Evil Monk.
In the midst of the blood clouds, a pair of gigantic claws stretched out and grabbed Zhang Ruochen’s shoulders, wanting to lift Zhang Ruochen up and throw him out of the Sacred Willow Hall.
“Boom!”
In the middle of the hall, two bright lightning bolts coalesced and struck over, releasing a sharp, violent, destructive force that pierced through the blood cloud.
In the blood cloud, a miserable scream resounded.
Afterwards, the blood qi receded like a tidal wave, returning to the centre of the great hall and coalescing into the body of the Red Sea Evil Monk.
In the left and right hands of the Red Sea Evil Monk, a blood hole appeared in each hand, piercing from the palm of the hand to the back of the hand, and continuously dropping blood low.
A thin thread of lightning flowed above his arms, splitting the two tubes of sleeves into powder, revealing two crimson arms.
It took three breaths of time for the Red Sea Evil Monk to dissolve the lightning power on his arms.
The surrounding evil overlords, seeing the Red Sea Evil Monk being injured by Zhang Ruochen, all comprehensively sucked in a breath of cold air and had to re-examine this Grand Protector. Was he really just a figure of Ji Ghost and Luo Shi?
Zhang Ruochen cupped the Thunder Bead in his hand and stood up, walking towards the position of the Grand Protector above him.
Since he was going to be provoked even if he sat at the end of the chair, why didn’t he be stronger and sit firmly in the position of the Grand Protector?
The Red Sea Evil Monk stared indignantly at Zhang Ruochen and said in a cold voice, “Just now, I was only careless and was injured by you. Let’s fight again.”
“Is that so?”
Zhang Ruochen coldly stared at the Red Sea Evil Monk, and with a flash of his body, he transformed into a ray of electric light with a “wow” sound, and appeared in front of the Red Sea Evil Monk in an instant.
Before the Red Sea Evil Monk could react, Zhang Ruochen had already condensed his Wind and Thunder Finger and placed it against the Red Sea Evil Monk’s heart, and with just a little bit of vigour, it would be able to pierce through his heart.
The Red Sea Evil Monk only felt a sharp pain that travelled out from his heart and filled his entire body,
In a flash, his nerves were completely tensed, he didn’t dare to move, and the look in his eyes towards Zhang Ruochen had a little more fear in it.
“You you dare.”
The Red Sea Evil Monk tried his best to suppress the fear in his heart, his eyes widened and his voice trembled a little.
Zhang Ruochen said, “Why wouldn’t I dare, believe it or not, with just a flick of my finger, I can turn your heart into a rub of black ash?”
“Great Protector, calm down, calm down, Red Sea didn’t mean to offend you, just spare him once.”A Fish Dragon Eighth Transformation Evil Dao Overlord immediately stepped forward to Zhang Ruochen and smiled, trying to calm him down.
“Chi Hai was just being impulsive, Great Protector don’t be so mean to him.”
“We are all working for Lord Star Envoy, all of us are our own people, don’t hurt the peace.”
“Great Protector, just forgive Red Sea once, I believe he won’t offend you again in the future.”
Those Evil Overlords who were all still defiant towards Zhang Ruochen earlier, all of them got worried, fearing that Zhang Ruochen would really kill Red Sea in a fit of rage.
Ji Ghost and Luo Shi, however, were both shocked, not having thought at all that Zhang Ruochen had become so powerful after just a few days of not seeing him.
One must know that a few days ago, Zhang Ruochen was a few points weaker than even them.
However, they did not know that the most important thing for a Spiritual Power Master was advanced spells and Spiritual Power Spells. Back then, Zhang Ruochen had only fought them with his bare hands and used only the weakest level 1 spells.
Now, Zhang Ruochen possessed the Thunder Pearl, which could increase the speed of spell casting by three times and the power of spells by ten times, so naturally, he was not what he used to be.
Zhang Ruochen smiled in his heart when he saw the performance of the crowd, in the Evil Dao, it was true that the only way to subdue them was to use great power.
Zhang Ruochen’s finger still didn’t move away from the Red Sea Evil Monk’s heart as he smiled and said in a cold voice, “You are all pleading for him, yet I see that he is still very unconvinced.”
Right at this moment, the Evil Dao Great Man of the Ninth Transformation of the Fish and Dragon, who was sitting on the first chair on the left, said coldly, “Red Sea, why don’t you still make amends and apologise to the Great Protector immediately?”
When the Red Sea Evil Monk heard the man’s words, he immediately knelt down on one knee and said, “Great Protector, I am known to be wrong, I beg you to spare me this time.”
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes glanced towards the Evil Dao Lord on the first chair on the left, only to see that person’s body, completely shrouded by a glazed treasure light, leaving only a blurred shadow.
He had deliberately released the glazed treasure light to conceal his figure and face, and even if Zhang Ruochen used his Heavenly Eyes, he could not see through his true appearance.
This person, who was able to make a top expert like the Red Sea Evil Monk kneel down and admit his mistake with just a single sentence, was really not a simple character.
Zhang Ruochen suspected that the Red Sea Evil Monk had taken the initiative to stir up trouble and had launched an attack on him, and it was likely that this person was also behind it.
“One must be careful and watch out for this person.”Zhang Ruochen’s mind thought.
The Red Desire Star Envoy saw that Zhang Ruochen had already suppressed all the evil hegemons present before he nodded in satisfaction and said, “Chikai, the Great Protector is a 44th ranked Spiritual Power Master who is capable of manipulating thunderbolts, so your defeat at his hands must not have been unjust.”
A large portion of the evil overlords in the Sacred Willow Hall, among them, had only heard the information about Zhang Ruochen’s battle with Ji Ghost and Luo Shi, but they did not know that Zhang Ruochen was also a forty-fourth ranked Spiritual Power Master.
When the Red Desire Star Envoy spoke of Zhang Ruochen’s strength, it instantly made all the Evil Dao Hegemons from all sides stand in awe, and even the four Fish Dragon Ninth Transformation Evil Dao Great Masters inclined their heads towards Zhang Ruochen.
Chi Hai even sucked in a breath of cold air, if he had known that Zhang Ruochen was a forty-fourth Spiritual Power Master, how would he have dared to make a move towards Zhang Ruochen?
“Get up!”
Zhang Ruochen glanced at the Red Sea Evil Monk, and then, under the gazes of the crowd, he walked to the top of the Grand Protector’s position at the bottom left of the Red Desire Star Envoy and sat down steadily.
The Red Sea Evil Monk also returned to his original position, took an elixir, and began to heal his wounds, not daring to say anything more.
The Red Desire Star Envoy said, “Since the Great Protector has already come out of the gate, let’s discuss, specifically, the matters discussed earlier.”
The first chair on the left, that one Fish Dragon Ninth Transformation Evil Dao Lord stood up and said, “Star Envoy, I think that it’s not the right time to fight with Emperor Yi, and it’s best to find another opportunity.”
The Red Desire Star Envoy was slightly displeased and said, “Why?”
This person’s voice, rather old, said, “Emperor Yi’s side is surrounded by experts, just the Purple Wind Star Envoy and the Green Star Envoy are not something that we can withstand, dueling with him now is like hitting a stone with an egg. This is one.”
“For another, our arrangement in Qing Yun County is not perfect, and I’m afraid that rushing to meet the enemy will be quite unfavourable.”
“Old me thinks that we should try to evade as much as possible now, and wait until our power grows a bit more before it’s not too late to battle Emperor Yi.”
The Red Desire Star Envoy certainly understood the gap between her and Emperor Yi, even though she had secretly pulled together quite a few Evil Dao experts, at this stage, it was still nowhere near half of what Emperor Yi had.
But she was unwilling, once she missed this opportunity, when would there be another opportunity?
The Red Desire Star Envoy’s eyes stared over towards Zhang Ruochen and asked, “Great Protector, what do you think?”
Zhang Ruochen said, “I think that now is the best time to battle Emperor Yi.”
Hearing Zhang Ruochen’s words, there was an uproar in the Sacred Willow Hall.
Everyone was puzzled, Emperor Yi’s power was so huge, and he was able to mobilise countless experts, so why did he say that now was the best time to go to war with Emperor Yi?
The evil great man on the first chair on the left sat back and snorted coldly, “Young and ignorant.”
The Red Desire Star Envoy, however, his eyes lit up as he looked at Zhang Ruochen and asked, “Why does the Great Protector think that now is the best time?”
Zhang Ruochen said without slowing down, “In fact, the reason why I think that now is the best time is because, I feel that if I miss this opportunity, the Star Envoy will never have another chance in the future.”
The Red Desire Star Envoy’s eyes, became serious as he earnestly asked for guidance, “Why?”
Zhang Ruochen said, “The most powerful thing about Emperor Yi is not the experts gathered around him, but, rather, his own talent is too heaven-defying.”
“Emperor Yi has already refined the fellow king of the six new generations of the Eastern Domain, Bu Qianfan, into his Heavenly Demon Shadow, inheriting Bu Qianfan’s abilities.”
“Bu Qianfan had reached the Supreme Extremity Realm in the Yellow Extremity Realm, and Di Yi had reached the Supreme Extremity Realm in the Sky Extremity Realm, and Di Yi who has refined Bu Qianfan is equivalent to reaching the Supreme Extremity Realm twice. Furthermore, Di Yi’s Heartless Saint Body was already more powerful than normal Saint Bodies.”
“A Saint Body can only cross three realms to engage the enemy at the Fish Dragon Realm, but Emperor Yi can cross six realms at the Fish Dragon Realm.”
“Right now, Emperor Yi has only just broken through to the Fish Dragon Realm not long ago, his cultivation can’t be that high, we can still deal with him. If we wait until the future, when his cultivation breaks through to a higher realm, who under the Half-Saints will be able to match him? At that time, I’m afraid that all of us present combined won’t be enough to kill him alone.”
Zhang Ruochen’s words stunned everyone present.
