“Wow!”
The moment the golden holy sword fell, a layer of divine light surfaced on Di Yi’s body, causing his skin to become glowing and as hard as holy stone.
On his body, he was actually wearing a Sacred Leather Soft Armour.
Sacred Skin Soft Armour, which was made from the skin and bones of a Saint, was refined into a Sacred Artifact grade defensive treasure, and as long as it was worn on the body, it would fit perfectly with the cultivator’s skin.
Only when it suffered an attack would the Sacred Skin Soft Armour present itself and explode with powerful defensive power.
The golden holy sword collided with the Holy Leather Soft Armour on Di Yi’s body, immediately sliding down from Di Yi’s shoulder, and ultimately, chopping at the Snowman Prince’s neck.
“Pfft.”
The sharpness of the holy sword was far from being comparable to a twelfth rank True Martial Treasure. The golden holy sword pierced through the Snowman Prince’s flesh and cut off a blood vessel in his neck.
Immediately, blood gushed out furiously, colouring half of the Snowman Prince’s body red.
The Snowman Prince stifled a grunt and staggered back two steps, quickly revolving his true qi and sealing the blood vein in his neck, before the wildly gushing blood gradually stopped.
Because there was sword qi surging into the Snowman Prince’s body, destroying his flesh, blood, and meridians, even with his strong physical constitution, he was unable to let the wound heal for a while.
Sealing the blood veins, although it stopped the loss of blood, it caused the Snowman Prince’s neck to become stiff, and it was quite hard to move his head.
“Who? Who is sneaking up on this prince?”
The Snowman Prince roared, his eyes filled with blood, and a strong hostile aura emanated from his body.
Only Di Yi knew that the person the other party was trying to kill just now wasn’t the Snowman Prince, but him. It was only because, on his body, he was wearing the Sacred Leather Soft Armour that he had dodged a bullet.
Otherwise, with that sword just now, the other party would have been able to kill him.
Although the Sacred Leather Soft Armour had a strong defensive power and blocked the golden Sacred Sword that Zhang Ruochen had slashed out, there was still an impact that penetrated through the Sacred Leather Soft Armour and hit Di Yi’s body.
At this moment, Di Yi’s left arm, could not be lifted at all, and the left half of his body felt numb with pain.
“Surprisingly, he’s still a Sword Dao expert, Red Desire Star Envoy, what exactly is this Grand Protector of yours?”Emperor Yi began to revolve his true qi to recover from his injuries.
At the same time, Di Yi also became more careful and cautious, secretly on guard, never giving the other party another chance to sneak attack.
The Red Desire Star Envoy was also quite surprised, feeling very unbelievable, not having expected that the Grand Protector that he had ordained was not only a forty-fourth ranked Spiritual Power Master, but also a Sword Dao expert who was able to injure the Snowman Prince.
What in the world was he?
It wasn’t until this moment that the Red Lust Star Envoy realised that even though she had already fairly overestimated Zhang Ruochen’s strength, she had still underestimated him.
Thinking back to that scene just now, the Red Lust Star Envoy realised that the golden holy sword that Zhang Ruochen had used seemed to have been seen somewhere and was quite familiar.
Suddenly, her body shook as she recalled it.
That golden holy sword was not precisely one of the six holy swords that the Yellow God Star Envoy had obtained in the Xuanwu Inheritance Ground, and after the death of the Yellow God Isolate, the six holy swords had been taken away by Zhang Ruochen.
Now, how could one of the holy swords, appear in the hands of the Grand Protector?
In the Red Desire Star Envoy’s heart, a suspicion was born that gave her own chills However, she quickly shook her head, not daring to continue thinking about it, telling herself that that person was already dead, and couldn’t possibly still be alive.
Right now, even if she had doubts in her mind, they were all immediately suppressed, going all out to kill Di Yi was the number one priority.
“Xu Hong, I’ll hold back the Snowman Prince, you go kill Emperor Yi.”
The Red Desire Star Envoy waved his Crystal Sacred Scepter and once again cast an illusionary spell, forming a red mist of light that enveloped the Snowman Prince.
Above the crown on top of the Snowman Prince’s head was a white gemstone the size of a normal human head.
Just as the Red Desire Star Envoy had cast the Illusion Technique, from the gemstone, a wisp of cold airflow surged out and entered the Snowman Prince’s brow, causing the Snowman Prince’s consciousness to remain awake at all times.
The white gem, a holy relic of the Snowman clan, was said to be an Ice Spirit Sacred Jade, which could not only keep corpses from decaying for ten thousand years, but also guard the consciousness and soul of the cultivator.
The Giant Spirit Raging Heart Skill that the Snowman Prince cultivated, although powerful, was extremely prone to losing one’s mind due to rage, and even attacking one’s heart in anger.
That was why he wore the Ice Spirit Sacred Jade with him, but he never expected that, by mistake, it would become the nemesis of the Red Desire Star Envoy.
The illusions cast by the Red Lust Star Envoy were completely unable to affect the Snowman Prince.
However, Xu Hong’s attack greatly held the Snowman Prince at bay.
Emperor Yi knew that there was another powerful figure in the shadows that could deliver a fatal blow to him at any time, thus, he no longer hesitated and crushed a jade talisman.
The shattered jade talisman transformed into a pillar of light that flew straight towards the sky, connecting the earth and the sky, making it particularly eye-catching in the pitch-black night sky.
The Red Desire Star Envoy let out a cold laugh, “Di Yi, I really didn’t expect that there would be a time when you would be so flustered, how come you’ve already made a signal, wanting to ask a Yuan Ying Half-Saint to come and save you?”
Di Yi appeared quite calm and snorted coldly, “Ye Hongtian, you joined forces with the traitor Silvermoon Lincoln and brutalised the Star Envoy and Young Lord of the Black Market One Piece Hall, if the Elder Council were to know about this, do you know how you would die?”
The Red Desire Star Envoy laughed and said, “As long as you die, even if the Elder Council knows that I used some unseemly means, the Ye Family and Master will naturally be able to keep me alive, and in the end, I will still be the new Young Lord. That’s why the dead have no say in the matter when it comes to becoming a king or a bandit.”
A strong anger came out from Emperor Sheng, if not for Zhang Ruochen hiding in the shadows and threatening him at all times, he would definitely have to rush out immediately and thwart the Red Desire Star Envoy.
The Red Desire Star Envoy’s two diaphanous eyebrows were slightly raised as she laughed, “Emperor Yi, you don’t need to keep waiting, before I was ready to make my move, I had already sent a message to our Ye Clan’s Demi-Saint, asking him to hold back the YuanYing Demi-Saint.”
While Emperor Yi’s protector was a YuanYing Half-Saint, the Red Desire Star Envoy’s protector, however, was a Half-Saint from the Ye Family.
Theoretically, a Half-Saint level figure could not intervene in the fight between the Red Lust Star Envoy and Emperor Yi, but Half-Saints and Half-Saints were able to check and balance each other.
The Ye Family was also a behemoth family in the Black Market, possessing a great deal of influence, and it was precisely because of this that the Red Desire Star Envoy’s ambitions had swelled, wanting to seize the position of Young Lord.
If the Red Lust Star Envoy was able to borrow the Ye Family’s family power, in fact, he would also be able to mobilise a large number of Fish Dragon Realm experts and use them for himself.
It was only a pity that the fight for the position of Young Lord was one that the family forces could not directly intervene into. One could only rely on the respective charms and means of the younger generation of geniuses, recruiting and arranging troops, and engaging in a contest of wisdom and strength.
Only the person who ultimately won would be qualified, to become the Young Lord.
“Swish!”
In the darkness, the golden sword light reappeared, even more powerful, dragging out a sword light over ten metres long, stabbing towards the spine of Di Yi’s back.
Although he was wearing the Holy Leather Soft Armour, it was able to block the sword tip from piercing into his body.
However, as long as the powerful impact hit the Heavenly Heart Vein in the spine, it could also seriously injure Di Yi.
Emperor Yi had long been on guard at all times, and just at the moment the sword light stabbed out, his feet stomped and he charged down from the Snowman Prince’s shoulders.
The golden holy sword slashed through his neck, colliding with the holy leather soft armour, and instantly, a particle of sparks erupted.
“Boom!”
Emperor Yi’s feet landed on the ground, and he immediately performed a body technique, fleeing rapidly into the night.
Zhang Ruochen’s body manifested and erupted with extreme speed, quickly chasing after Emperor Yi, whereupon, he once again swung out his Golden Holy Sword, dragging out a long golden sword light.
Sensing the aura of danger, Emperor Yi quickly turned around and cupped his hands into a claw shape, executing the Hell Ghost King Claw.
The claw prints were cast out, and instantly, the sound of yin wind whistling resounded from a thousand feet in a radius, like the howling of a severe ghost.
The Hell Ghost King Claw, with a total of thirty-six moves, was a rather profound claw technique martial art.
At this moment, Di Yi’s long hair was spread out, and the fingers of his hands had become twice as long, with each nail exceptionally sharp, as if he had transformed into a true Ghost King.
“Boom boom!”
The claw prints and the golden Saint Sword rapidly collided, forming a circle of energy ripples, hitting with flying sand, ghostly winds, and sword qi.
Suddenly, Zhang Ruochen performed a sword technique that increased in power, stabbing out from between Emperor Yi’s claws and striking at his throat position.
Even with the defence of the Sacred Leather Soft Armour, Emperor Yi’s throat was still unable to withstand the power of the Sacred Sword and shattered open with a snap, a strong taste of blood surging towards Emperor Yi’s mouth.
Di Yi’s claws, tightly grasping the body of the sword, prevented the holy sword from continuing to stab downwards.
At the same time, his body exploded backwards rapidly, trying to defuse the impact of the Saint Sword.
Zhang Ruochen’s speed, however, was even faster, his arm and the Saint Sword always maintaining a balance against Di Yi’s neck, the tip of the sword continuously sinking down, and even the Saint Leather Soft Armour was unable to withstand the Saint Sword’s onslaught.
“Di Yi, even the Sacred Leather Soft Armour can’t save your life.”Zhang Ruochen’s eyes were sharp, emitting a strong killing aura.
Seeing the eyes underneath the mask, Emperor Yi’s expression was stunned, as if he had seen something unbelievable. Then, a hoarse voice came out of his mouth, “I I know who you are.”
Emperor Yi’s legs sank, surprisingly no longer retreating, stabilising his stance and allowing the holy sword to stab downwards.
“Swish!”
Both of Emperor Yi’s arms, simultaneously swung out, striking two sharp claw marks that struck Zhang Ruochen’s head and abdomen respectively.
At this moment, he was performing the very same move.
Zhang Ruochen knew that Emperor Yi possessed the Heartless Saint Body, which could be called an immortal body, thus he did not fight him to the death and immediately withdrew his sword and quickly retreated backwards.
Although Emperor Yi forced Zhang Ruochen back, the golden Saint Sword still left a deep concave mark at the location of his throat.
Beneath the Holy Leather Soft Armour, in fact, a deep bloody hole had appeared on Di Yi’s neck.
If it were any other cultivator, even if he didn’t die, he would definitely not be able to fight again.
However, Emperor Yi appeared very calm, standing in place, his eyes staring straight at Zhang Ruochen on the opposite side, revealing a bizarre smile, his voice tinged with a sense of brokenness as he said, “Zhang Ruochen.”
