“Boom Boom!”
The powerful blade aura sent the two Golden Snake Holy Swords flying out at the same time, and then, the Holy Swords fell straight down, splitting Zhang Ruochen’s head.
Even when the Sacred Book Talented Maiden saw this scene, she was quite moved, her five fingers squeezing the folding fan tightly as she prepared to make a move to save Zhang Ruochen. There was no harm in losing, it was already quite remarkable that he was able to battle a Half Saint for so long.
However, Zhang Ruochen seemed to have no intention of admitting defeat, stimulating the speed and defence of the Meteor Invisibility Clothes, his feet stomped backward and rushed out.
The Sacred Blade slashed down, striking where Zhang Ruochen had just stood.
“Boom!”
The ground cracked more than ten metres wide, and the powerful blade aura, which extended all the way to the Corpse River, split the Corpse River for a split second.
Only, the Perishable Tomb Forest had a mysterious power, and the ground that had been chopped apart quickly came back together.
In that strike just now, Zhang Ruochen had dodged the Sacred Blade, but he had not been able to completely dodge the Blade Qi.
The blade Qi, which slashed at his chest, although the Meteor Invisibility Cloak dissolved most of the power, it still caused him to suffer a considerable amount of injuries.
Underneath the meteor invisibility cloak, at his chest, a blood scar appeared, from the position of his neck, all the way to his navel. Inside his body, there was a dragon pearl protecting his body, and it was only then that he blocked the sword qi.
“Not being able to use the power of time and space, with my current cultivation level against a Half Saint, it really is quite a struggle.”Zhang Ruochen secretly said.
In this battle, Qi Yun fought in a very suffocating manner, so how could Zhang Ruochen not be suffocating?
The Sacred Book Talent and Qi Qiankun were standing right next to him, and he could not use many of his undercards. If he had exerted those undercards, Zhang Ruochen had a 70% certainty that he would defeat Qi Yun.
Qi Yun retrieved his Sacred Blade, and when he saw Zhang Ruochen crawling out of the crack in the blade Qi, his heart sank.
He …… actually hasn t died yet?
The Sacred Book Talented Maiden exhaled slightly and said, ”Lin Yue, there is no need for you to fight so hard against a Half Saint. It’s time for you to use your hidden cards, so it’s better to have a quick battle.”
She was reminding Zhang Ruochen to use the spiritual power in the pieces.
Zhang Ruochen, of course, would not put his life on the line just because of a betting match between the Sacred Book Talented Maiden, retrieved the two Golden Snake Sacred Swords, and said, “Just now, my fight with Elder Qi Yun was purely just an attempt to test my current strength. As it turns out, with my current cultivation level, I am indeed still a bit short of the mark when it comes to fighting a half-saint.”
The power that erupted from Qi Yun’s use of a Saint Weapon was indeed far superior to Zhang Ruochen’s. Zhang Ruochen could only separate himself from him by exercising his spatial power.
The battle power of a Half-Saint should not be underestimated.
Hearing a cultivator of the Fish Dragon Realm, say such words, Qi Yun had a feeling of being humiliated and coldly said, “Junior, whatever cards you have, feel free to use them.”
“Good.”
Zhang Ruochen nodded.
Since, there was already a general understanding of his current strength, there was no need to continue fighting with Qi Yun.
Zhang Ruochen took out the black chess piece and held it in his palm.
In the chess piece, there was a grain of light emanating out, spreading out in all directions and soon covering a ten-mile radius.
“What a strong fluctuation of spiritual power, could it be that he can still cast spells?”
After the previous encounter, Qi Yun was also clear that Lin Yue’s strength was quite strong and should not be underestimated, so at this moment, he dared not take it even more lightly.
“Open the heavens and open the earth.”
Qi Yun prepared to take the initiative to attack, his body, flying off the ground, his hands gripping the hilt of the blade.
Five strands of very fiery Saint Qi surged out from his hands, feet, and back, rotating around his body and forming a huge vortex of flames.
The five strands of holy qi swirled around, completely converging towards the holy blade.
“Wow!”
The Saint Blade became incomparably bright, like a crimson crescent moon hanging in the sky as it chopped down towards Zhang Ruochen.
“Wrath of the Thunder General.”
Zhang Ruochen mobilised the spiritual energy in the chess pieces and injected it into the Thunder Bead in a steady stream, holding his hand up to above his head.
“Puffing!”
Hundreds of thunderbolts surged out from the Thunder Bead, condensing into a hideous and furious Thunderbolt Giant. The lightning giant held an electric hammer and smashed it towards the holy blade.
The lightning rays and flame rays immediately exploded, forming a powerful energy storm that rushed towards Zhang Ruochen and Qi Yun respectively.
Zhang Ruochen condensed a layer of lightning light curtain to block that energy storm.
“Poof!”
Qi Yun was pierced through by three lightning bolts, his entire body became scorched black, his internal organs were severely damaged, and with a sweetness in his throat, he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
With a “wow” sound, the Holy Sword also fell down from mid-air and stuck beside him.
“You actually …… are actually still a spiritual power master ……” Qi Yun stared with wide eyes, his whole body trembling, it was hard to accept that he would actually lose to a Fish Dragon Realm cultivator.
Because of that, with a large amount of Holy Qi consumed and a heavy wound, the Holy Light on Qi Yun’s body, became quite dim.
Zhang Ruochen stepped out from the black smoke, still dragging the chess pieces and thunder beads in his hands, looking rather calm as he said, “Senior Qi Yun, you’ve lost!”
The Sacred Book Talent Maiden lifted her chin, revealing her long snow-white neck, as if she was a proud white swan, and looked over towards Qi Qiankun, saying, “Qi Qiankun, you lost!”
Qi Qiankun’s eyes revealed a chilling light of resentment as he said in a cold voice, “The spiritual power in that chess piece doesn’t belong to Lin Yue at all. This bet is not fair at all.”
The Sacred Book Talent Maiden said, “When a cultivator of the Fish Dragon Seventh Transformation fights a Half Saint, where is fairness? In any case, Lin Yue ultimately defeated Qi Yun by his own means and with his own hands. Could it be that the famous Qiankun Saint is actually trying to cheat?”
“Haha!”
Qi Qiankun laughed up to the sky, his eyes became incomparably sharp as he roared, “You’re dreaming if you want me to tie my hands.”
Qi Qiankun’s large hand made a move and rolled Qi Yun up from the ground, then turned into a holy light and flew towards the outside of the Perishing God Graveyard.
“You’ve already been given the chance, but you don’t cherish it.”
The Sacred Book Talented Maiden seemed to have expected that Qi Qiankun would not recognise it, and gently shook her head as she stretched out a palm, and in the centre of that palm, a jade booklet emerged.
She shot the booklet out and suspended it above the dome of the sky.
A white, holy light emanated from the booklet, and in just an instant, it purified all of the sinister aura in the entire Perdition Cemetery.
The booklet opened, and countless words gushed out, turning into a sea of words, some close at hand, while others flew above the nine heavens. The number of words was like a sky full of stars, it was impossible to count them.
“The Confucian Ancestor’s Sacred Book.”
Qi Qiankun glanced upwards, the words were all before his eyes, and it was as if there were billions of scholars reciting poetry in his ears. Instantly, a look of fear appeared on his face, and he immediately fuelled his entire body’s Saint Qi, fleeing towards the sky with all his might.
Zhang Ruochen was also quite shocked when he saw the holy book suspended in the sky.
Cultivators of the Confucian Way, once they reached the Saint Realm, would all compose a Saint Book based on their lifelong learning.
Each holy book had a very powerful divine power.
Among all the holy books, the Confucian Ancestor’s holy book was the most powerful.
In the entire Kunlun Realm, since ancient times, only four Confucian Ancestor Sacred Books had been born, written by the four ancestors of the Confucian Way, recording profound knowledge and endless divine power.
Who would have thought that the Sacred Book Talent Girl would have mastered one of the four Confucian Ancestor Sacred Books?
“No……”
Without any resistance, Qi Qiankun and Qi Yun’s bodies, which became only the size of a hide, fell into the ocean of words and were finally collected into the Confucian Ancestor Holy Book.
The Ru Ancestor Sacred Book flew back and fell into the hands of the Sacred Book Talented Lady.
“Amazing, if you were able to eat that Holy Book, you would definitely be able to become the most knowledgeable person in the entire Kunlun Realm.”Little Black transmitted his voice to Zhang Ruochen.
It licked its lips, its round cat eyes bubbling with light, eager to rush up and grab the Ru Ancestor Holy Book.
“The Sacred Book of the Confucian Ancestor is the greatest treasure of the Confucian Way, and whoever dares to eat it will definitely be hunted down by all the Confucian Way cultivators in the world. Besides, the knowledge and holy might contained in the Ru Ancestor Sacred Book is so huge that even if a Saint eats it, he would probably be propped up to death.”Zhang Ruochen said.
The Sacred Book Talented Maiden’s spiritual power was very strong, and she vaguely heard Zhang Ruochen and Little Black’s voice transmission, and probably heard the meaning of their words. Thus, she turned around and stared at them.
Zhang Ruochen’s heart was startled, could it be that the Sacred Book Talented Maiden had heard his and Little Black’s conversation?
The Sacred Book Talented Maiden’s gaze, fixed on Xiao Hei’s body, said, “All those who dared to hit the Ru Ancestor’s Sacred Book have been exiled to the Market Realm Battlefield, and are not allowed to return to the Kunlun Realm for life.”
The Sacred Book Talented Lady’s cultivation had been restored, of course Xiao Hei didn’t dare to mess with her, and immediately put on a very honest appearance, shaking his head vigorously.
The Sacred Book Talented Lady laughed, not wanting to pay attention to it.
Suddenly, her eyes, glanced towards the netherworld on the other side of the Corpse River, and her pretty face turned a little pale as she said, “It’s not good, the aura of the Ru Ancestor Sacred Book seems to have startled a certain powerful being in the netherworld.”
What kind of terrifying existence would a being that made the Sacred Book Talented Maiden very fearful be?
Zhang Ruochen glanced towards the other side of the Corpse River, and sure enough, he saw a black cloud of darkness covering the entire sky and rolling towards the direction they were in.
The Sacred Book Talented Maiden took Zhang Ruochen and Little Black with her and fled outside the Perishing God Cemetery in a hurry.
Finally, they fled out of the Perishing God Graveyard before being caught up by the black gloomy clouds.
The black gloomy clouds in the sky seemed to be suppressed by an invisible force, unable to rush out of the Perishing God Graveyard. After a moment, it retreated back.
“What secrets are hidden in the Perishing God Graveyard?”The robes on Zhang Ruochen’s body were completely drenched in sweat.
He panted heavily, and it was difficult to calm his heart.
Since it was a relic of the Middle Ages, what exactly had happened here in the long ago Middle Ages?
Zhang Ruochen’s heart was full of questions, and he was tempted to barge in and explore, yet he was clear that barging in with his current cultivation level was tantamount to asking for death.
The Sacred Book Talented Maiden stood at the top of the mountain, her eyes, too, staring towards the black dark clouds receding in the sky.
Although, before this, she had already grasped a lot of secrets about the Perishable God Graveyard, but actually going in and breaking into it once still made her feel incomparably shocked.
Such a forbidden land, even with her cultivation, she did not dare to break into it indiscriminately.
When he returned to the Two Element Sect, Zhang Ruochen parted ways with the Sacred Book Talented Maiden.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t go to the Sword Pavilion but, instead, went straight back to the Violet Cloud Spirit Mountain.
It was getting closer and closer to the time of the Sword Discussion Conference, and only by utilising the Scroll World, could he raise his Sword Dao Realm at the fastest speed.
He had only arrived at the bottom of Violet Cloud Spirit Mountain when he encountered an outer sect female disciple wearing a white dao robe.
That outer sect female disciple, standing at the top of the stone steps, had a very delicate figure, with a waist as slim as a discus. Her pair of charming eyes stared straight at Zhang Ruochen’s body as she delicately said, “Senior Brother Lin Yue, I’ve been waiting for you for three days at the Purple Cloud Spirit Mountain, where have you been?”
When Zhang Ruochen looked at her appearance, he was, at once, somewhat in tears, saying, “Senior Sister Duanmu, when did you become an outer disciple of the Two Element Sect?”
This outer disciple wearing a white dao robe was none other than Mu Lingshi.
“For me, it’s not difficult to become an outer disciple of the Two Element Sect.”
Mu Lingshi gently touched her snow-white chin and smiled charmingly, “After receiving your letter, I immediately rushed over to the Two Yi Sect. How was it? That vixen Qi Fayu didn’t seduce you, did she?”
