Zhang Ruochen stared towards the Sacred Book Talented Lady and realised that she was still quite calm without a hint of panic, so he secretly guessed in his heart, could it be that she still had some other cards?
Qi Qiankun took a closer look at the Sacred Book Talented Maiden and saw that she was only wearing a bloodstained dao robe, so he laughed and said, “Lord Talented Maiden, you’re already seriously injured, yet you still have to put on such a strong appearance, are you tired or not?”
The Sacred Book Talent Lady’s eyes blinked gently as she said with a smile, “You think I’m pretending to be strong?”
Qi Qiankun was very confident and laughed hoarsely, “If you were in your heyday, you wouldn’t have to hide in the Corpse River, I’m afraid that you would have already returned to the Two Element Sect and deployed all the forces to deal with the Qi Clan, so how is it possible for you to still be here to talk to this Saint?”
The Sacred Book Talented Maiden nodded and said, “A good analysis, thus showing that you are a smart person. It’s just a pity that smart people are easily mistaken by smart people, just like me, if I hadn’t thought that I was able to grasp everything, I wouldn’t have been assassinated by Qi Hong.”
Qi Qiankun’s eyes narrowed as he grinned and said, “You have to know that inside this Perishable Tomb Forest, it is able to blind some of the rules of heaven and earth. Even if I kill you, I’m afraid that the Empress wouldn’t know about it.”
“So anxious to make a move? Qi Qiankun, your patience, it’s a bit too poor.”The Sacred Book Talented Lady said.
“You want to procrastinate ……哏哏, this Saint will not give you the chance to escape.”
The aura on Qi Qiankun’s body became even stronger as he lifted the Sacred Wood Staff and struck it towards the ground, and instantly, the Taiji Seal rotated rapidly and flew out densely densely packed sword qi, seven to eight thousand of them.
“Sword Three!”
Each sword qi was condensed into a three-foot long sword, transforming into a torrent of sword qi that made a clattering sound as it flew out towards the top of the Corpse River.
Standing on the canoe, he looked upwards.
One could only see the seven to eight thousand sword qi, like a meteor shower cutting through the sky and charging straight down, emitting a despairing aura.
“Zhang Ruochen!”
Xiao Hei transmitted a voice to Zhang Ruochen, signalling him to quickly open the spatial door of the Qian Kun Divine Wood Diagram and escape inside.
The Saint’s strike was simply not something they could withstand.
Zhang Ruochen’s gaze looked towards the Sacred Book Talented Maiden, but he saw that she did not have the slightest bit of fear on her face, instead, she even had a faint smile on her face, not like she was facing death.
Could it be that ……
Zhang Ruochen thought of a possibility, so he temporarily did not use the Qiankun Divine Wood Diagram and prepared to continue watching.
Suddenly, the arm of the Sacred Book Talented Lady shook as the folding fan in her hand unfolded and swung forward.
“Wow!”
In the folding fan, tens of thousands of words flew out at the same time, colliding with seven or eight thousand sword qi.
With a series of explosions, the sword qi all shattered.
The Sacred Book Talented Lady pressed the folding fan downwards, and from her crystal red lips, she spat out a single word: “Zhen.”
Those words that contained holy qi were arranged and combined together, connecting into a scripture that printed down towards Qi Qiankun.
“Sword four!”
Qi Qiankun stretched out a finger and pointed it upwards.
On the ground, the black and white Taiji Seal, its light soared, reflecting the entire heaven and earth as half night and half day.
At the location where night and day intersected, a holy sword flew out and charged upwards, erupting with incomparably sharp power, tearing an opening in the scripture that the words had condensed into.
Qi Qiankun’s figure flashed and flew out of the rift, hanging in midair.
The holy sword, flying in a circle, re-fell into Qi Qiankun’s hands and coalesced into a holy wooden staff.
That Saint Wood Staff, was rather flat and very sharp underneath. If one did not observe it carefully, it would be difficult to see that it, in fact, was a Saint Sword.
Qi Qiankun was quite shocked and said, “You’re not injured?”
Not only Qi Qiankun, even Zhang Ruochen and Xiao Hei were also a bit surprised, simply not knowing, when did the Sacred Book Talented Maiden’s cultivation, recover?
“I wasn’t injured in the first place, it’s just that my spiritual power was suppressed by an evil aura, which is why I avoided you guys. Of course, I have used some means to force the evil Qi out of my body.”
The Sacred Book Talented Lady stared towards Zhang Ruochen, seeing the doubt in his eyes, and smiled lightly, “I still have to thank you, if you hadn’t given me that bell to study, I’m afraid that I wouldn’t have recovered my cultivation by now, and I would have to let them slaughter me.”
The Sacred Book Talented Lady took out the purple-black bell, cupped it in her hand, and shook it.
Inside the bell, there was actually a mass of deathly evil Qi surging.
That bell, not only was it able to absorb the souls of cultivators, it was actually able to absorb Death Evil Qi as well. I really don’t know, where did the three-headed dog get it from?
To be able to absorb Death Evil Qi, it was definitely not a mortal object, and it might even have some relationship with Death Evil Qi.
The Sacred Book Talented Lady took all of her words back into her folding fan and once again confronted Qi Qiankun, completely taking the initiative as she said, ”Qi Qiankun, if you want to kill me today, it’s something that is absolutely impossible. Once I walk out of the Perishable Tomb Forest, that will also be the end of your Qi family. Do you want to bet with me?”
“How does Lord Talented Lady want to bet?”Qi Qiankun asked.
The Sacred Book Talented Lady said, “The two of us, if we were to actually start a fight, it would definitely cause a great deal of turmoil, and would most likely invoke the Ghost King in the Perishing Tomb Forest, and I believe that this is something that neither of us would like to see.”
There were many forbidden things in the Perishing God Tomb Forest, and even if a Saint encountered it, he might fall.
Qi Qiankun naturally didn’t want to make too much noise, but today, he and the Sacred Book Talented Maiden were bound to have a battle, and it couldn’t be avoided no matter what.
So, how exactly did she want to bet?
The Sacred Book Talented Maiden pointed to the duo of Qi Yun and Lin Yue and said, “We can’t personally fight, yet we can let them fight a battle in our place.”
Qi Qiankun certainly paid some attention to Lin Yue, and when his gaze, was fixed on Lin Yue’s body, he instantly revealed a meaningful smile and said, “Lord Talented Lady, you actually sent a cultivator of the Fish Dragon Realm to fight against one of our Qi Family’s Half-Saints. What exactly are you betting on?”
Qi Qiankun was able to tell that Lin Yue was only at the cultivation level of the Fish Dragon Seventh Transformation.
For a half-saint to kill a cultivator of the Fish Dragon Seventh Transformation, he didn’t even need to make a move, just a single Holy Might suppressing him would be enough to make his organs shatter and his seven holes bleed.
Of course, Sacred Book Talented Maiden sent out a cultivator of the Fish Dragon realm to send him to his death, Qi Qiankun naturally didn’t have any opinions.
The Sacred Book Talented Maiden seemed to be quite confident in Lin Yue as she said, “If Lin Yue wins, you must bind your hands and come back to the Two Yi Sect with me to be judged.”
Qi Qiankun smiled coldly, a disdainful look appearing in his eyes as he said, “Getting a Saint to bind his hands is impossible.”
“Listen to me finish my words, then it won’t be too late for you to make a decision.”
The Saint opened his side and wouldn’t give the order to cut off his roots. How about it? This is the only time for such an opportunity, and it won’t come again in the future.”
Qi Qiankun fell into silence.
He knew very well that as long as the Sacred Book Talent Girl walked out of the Perishing Tomb Forest, no matter what, the Qi family was bound to be sanctioned.
The key was, the extent of the sanction.
Was it to involve all nine clans?
Or was it only to kill the senior members of the family who knew the inside story?
Qi Qiankun gave a dry laugh and said, “It seems that I no longer have a choice, so be it, since this is the case, this Saint will gamble with Lord Talented Maiden this time.”
Immediately, Qi Qiankun secretly transmitted a voice to Qi Yun, saying, “Restrain Lin Yue as fast as you can, only by capturing him will we be able to retreat in one piece today. Moreover, with his life, we can also talk to the Two Yi Sect about the terms and minimise the Qi family’s losses as much as possible.”
Qi Yun also understood the importance of this battle, so he gently nodded to Qi Qiankun.
At the same time, the Sacred Book Talented Maiden also transmitted her voice to Zhang Ruochen, saying, “Lin Yue, use the remaining spiritual power in that chess piece, it’s enough to defeat Qi Yun, and if it’s possible, you can directly suppress him.”
To kill Qi Hong, Lin Yue had only consumed one-fifth of the spiritual power in the chess piece.
Using the rest of his spiritual energy, killing Qi Yun at the First Order Half Saint realm could be considered a piece of cake.
The Heaven Ascending Boat docked to the shore, and the Sacred Book Talented Lady, Zhang Ruochen, and Little Black walked down and boarded the shore.
“You’ve actually reached the Fish Dragon Seventh Transformation, your cultivation speed is truly astonishingly fast, worthy of being a hot sword dao prodigy these days. It’s just a pity that with your current cultivation level, it’s really a bit far from being able to fight against a half-saint.”Qi Yun said.
Qi Yun was naturally quite disdainful of Lin Yue, it was also quite a shame that a Half-Saint had reached the point where he was actually fighting against a Fish Dragon Realm cultivator.
Instead of using the Void Sword, Zhang Ruochen took out the two Golden Serpent Sacred Swords and cupped them in both hands as he said, ”It is said that Senior Qi Yun only cultivated for eighty-two years before reaching the Half-Saint realm, and he is also a remarkable human being. It is a great honour for my junior to be able to fight with you.”
The Sacred Book Talented Lady and Qi Qiankun were both Saints, their eyesight was extraordinary, if, for example, they used the Void Sword to fight with Qi Yun, they would most likely be recognised by them.
Moreover, the sword spirit of the Void Sword was not fully awakened, instead, it was not as smooth as using the Golden Serpent Saint Sword.
The Sacred Book Talented Maiden saw that Zhang Ruochen actually did not use the chess pieces but took out the two holy swords, could it be …… that he was not planning to use his spiritual power.
“Could this fellow be overconfident?”
The Sacred Book Talent Maiden became a little worried, she had information on almost all the geniuses in the entire Kunlun Realm, and one of the heaven-defying human masters could indeed resist a First Order Half-Saint in the Fish Dragon Realm.
However, there was no precedent of a person who could defeat a First Order Half-Saint at the Fish Dragon Seventh Transformation.
The Sacred Book Talent Maiden couldn’t help but call out, “Lin Yue.”
Zhang Ruochen looked over towards her and said, “Lord Saint, what else do you command?”
“Are you sure?”The Sacred Book Talented Lady said.
Zhang Ruochen shook his head and honestly said, “Not sure.”
This was the first time he had used his own strength and fought against a Half-Saint, and it was indeed an unknown whether he could win or not.
The Sacred Book Talented Lady’s pair of almond eyes, immediately glared, really can’t understand this guy, obviously can borrow her power, easily crush the opponent. Why did he want to go and fight with a Half Saint with his little cultivation, wouldn’t he be hitting a stone with an egg?
Qi Qiankun laughed hoarsely and said, “Lord Talented Lady, if you regret it now, I’m afraid it’s already too late.”
The Sacred Book Talented Lady merely laughed and immediately retreated backwards.
However, she radiated her spiritual power out, ready to rescue Lin Yue at any time.
Even she herself wasn’t sure why she valued a cultivator of the Fish Dragon Realm so much, and could only secretly think, “After all, Lin Yue is a sword dao wizard handpicked by the Two Element Sect, so I can’t let him die at the hands of Qi Yun just because of a betting match I made.”
