Of course, there were also some people who were quite worried, after all, Lin Yue was already heavily injured, even if he had just repelled the Third Prince of the Immortal Blood Clan, I was afraid that it would aggravate his injuries even further.
Would he still be able to continue fighting?
The armour on the face of the Third Prince of the Immortal Blood Clan transformed into strands of blood qi, spreading out to the left and right as a pair of crimson pupils stared at Zhang Ruochen’s body, snorting coldly, “It’s really unexpected that one who has already sustained heavy injuries can still manage to deliver such a powerful strike.”
“What? Scared?”Zhang Ruochen said.
“Haha!”
The Third Prince of the Immortal Blood Clan laughed up to the sky, then, with a sharp voice, he said, “That strike just now, I only used 30% of my strength, even if you blocked it, it’s not much of a big deal.”
Zhang Ruochen was able to tell that the blood armour on the Third Prince of the Immortal Blood Clan was very extraordinary, and so, he took one more look at it.
“That’s ……”
Suddenly, his eyes narrowed as he recognised the Hundred Saints Blood Armour.
Back then, when the Sacred Brightness Central Empire had defeated the Immortal Blood Race, it had captured quite a lot of trophies, and among them was a Hundred Saints Blood Armour. Thus, Zhang Ruochen had seen the Hundred Saints Blood Armour with his own eyes, and was quite aware of the Hundred Saints Blood Armour’s formidable power.
The loot captured from the Immortal Blood Race was all sealed into the national treasury. Emperor Ming had ordered that no one was allowed to use the Undying Blood Race’s war armour, lest they would be affected by the blood qi on the war armour and turn into bloodthirsty devils.
“So it’s the Hundred Sacred Blood Armour, no wonder your power is so strong.”
Zhang Ruochen shook his head and laughed, even after recognising the Hundred Sacred Blood Armour, he looked indifferent and said, “However, to resort to external objects is just to abandon the root and chase the end, and for cultivation, it does not do any good. Whether it’s Martial Dao cultivation or Sacred Dao cultivation, the essence, ultimately, is to cultivate oneself.”
The Third Prince of the Immortal Blood Race clearly disagreed with Zhang Ruochen’s viewpoint, revealing a sneering expression as he laughed, “Is that so? I’ll just resort to external objects, what can you do to me? At least tonight, I’m already invincible and am bound to become a Boundary Son.”
“Do you really think that no one can break through the Hundred Saint Blood Armour? Don’t sit back and watch the sky, okay?”Zhang Ruochen said.
The Third Prince of the Immortal Blood Clan snorted coldly, not placing Zhang Ruochen in his eyes as he said, “Just with you?”
“Just with me, it’s already enough.”
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes, gradually became sharp as he slowly lifted the Void Sword, raising it above his head, gripping the hilt with both hands and closing his eyes.
At the same time, the Heart of Sword Intent in Zhang Ruochen’s brow rotated rapidly, emitting a piercing silver light that pierced through the Sea of Qi, surging out from his brow and fusing with the Void Sword.
A white sword qi, transformed into a pillar of light, surged out from the tip of the Void Sword, rushing straight into the sky, and with a loud bang, it collided with the clouds.
With the pillar of sword qi light as the centre, a huge vortex was formed, causing the blood clouds above the dome of the sky to start spinning rapidly.
At this very moment, the entire Book Mountain, and even a hundred miles around, the swords of all the cultivators, all of them trembled violently, uncontrolled by them, and flew in the direction of the Book Mountain.
“My …… sword ……”
“How could this happen …… how could the sword fly away ……”
……
…………
Except for the Half-Saint level characters, who were able to suppress their swords by virtue of their powerful cultivation, the swords of the rest of the cultivators, all of them flew out.
“Swish swish!”
There were tens of thousands of swords that appeared above Zhang Ruochen’s head, flying in rapid rotation around the light pillar of sword energy, and the sound of the breaking wind of the sword energy constantly echoed between heaven and earth.
“His sword, there’s something wrong with it.”
The eyes of the Third Prince of the Immortal Blood Clan, staring intently at the Void Sword in Zhang Ruochen’s hand, sensed an extremely dangerous aura, and finally, his face became very grave.
“Hundred Saints Contest.”
The Immortal Blood Race’s Third Prince’s legs spread apart, his ten fingers pinched tightly and transformed into double fists as he injected a steady stream of holy qi from his body into the Hundred Saints Blood Armour.
In the next moment, the Hundred Saint Blood Armour gushed out a hundred blood-red Saint Shadows, presenting themselves behind him, both from the Human Race’s Saints and the Beast Race’s Saints, taking on a variety of different forms.
Each Saint Shadow was emitting all sorts of different sacred sounds, and the aura that erupted out was amazing, as if it was a hundred true Saints standing behind the Third Prince of the Immortal Blood Race.
The aura of him and the holy shadows were completely fused into one.
Just this aura alone was able to scare the cultivators of the Fish Dragon Realm to the point of trembling and kneeling.
The Third Prince of the Immortal Blood Clan jumped ahead and attacked, striking out with a fist, followed by a hundred Saint Shadows, which weaved together with his fist, resounding with a hurricane-like whistling sound.
“Wow!”
The Void Sword let out a sword roar and flew out from Zhang Ruochen’s hand.
Zhang Ruochen’s fingers pinched into a sword technique, controlling the Void Sword and pointing it forwards.
Immediately, the Void Sword dragged out a long sword qi as if it was a white leather trainer. At the same time, tens of thousands of swords, also flew out in unison, completely wrapping the Void Sword.
“Boom boom.”
The swords, and the one hundred blood-coloured Saint Shadows, fiercely collided together.
In the end, the Void Sword and the tens of thousands of swords penetrated through and struck the body of the Third Prince of the Immortal Blood Clan.
The Third Prince of the Immortal Blood Clan roared, spitting out a mouthful of blood from his mouth, which showered on top of the Hundred Saint Blood Armour, causing the Hundred Saint Blood Armour to emit an even more piercing light.
His arms, folded together, blocked forward.
Zhang Ruochen also clenched his teeth as blood continued to flow out of his mouth, and the Saint Qi in his body, gushing out in a steady stream, continued to thrust his finger forward.
One after another, the battle sword slammed into the body of the Third Prince of the Immortal Blood Race.
After thousands of collisions, it finally broke through the defence of the Hundred Sacred Blood Armour, tearing open a crack.
With a “pfft” sound, the Void Sword passed through the Third Prince of the Undying Blood Clan’s arms, piercing through the armour and into his chest. Fresh blood gushed out wildly, colouring the steps of the Book Mountain, completely red.
The Third Prince of the Immortal Blood Race flew out backwards, crashing on top of the steps halfway up the mountain, rolling downwards, and falling all the way to the foot of the mountain.
“Retract.”
Zhang Ruochen retracted the Void Sword, covering his chest with one hand and squeezing the hilt of the sword with the other, propping up his faltering body. In the end, he didn’t collapse, his spine still straight as he looked down.
Below the Book Mountain, all the cultivators, seeing Lin Yue’s majestic stance, all felt their hearts shaken.
It was too powerful!
With that sword just now, Zhang Ruochen had left everyone present, with an indestructible image, as if he was a teenage Sword Saint, representing undefeatability.
“Haha! Not bad, not bad, worthy of being our Two Yi Sect’s Sword Dao wizard, finally striking the Two Yi Sect’s prestige, even the Immortal Blood Clan is unbeatable.”
A Saint from the Two Yi Sect let out a loud laugh.
His voice, which was very loud, spread throughout the entire Divine Terrace City, reaching the ears of the elder figures of all the major powers with a sense of showing off.
An elder of the Moon Worshipping Demon Sect, laughed coldly, ”Lin Yue’s strength is indeed powerful, but, in my opinion, it doesn’t have much to do with the Two Element Sect. The truly powerful person is the Thousand Bones Empress.”
This voice, too, was not suppressed in any way and directly spread throughout Divine Platform City.
“That’s right, Lin Yue is the successor of the Thousand Bone Empress, holding the Void Sword, defeating the jumping clown of the Immortal Blood Clan would have been a matter of course.”The Four Elephant Sect’s Sage Xuan Yi’s voice was resounding, turning into sound waves and travelling out.
The reason why Saint Xuan Yi announced the identity of Lin Yue as the successor of the Thousand Bone Empress to the public was also for his own purpose.
According to the current situation, as long as the Two Element Sect had Lin Yue, why would the Four Elephant Sect, Eight Trigrams Sect, and Taiji Dao still participate in the Sword Contest?
Did they go to disgrace themselves?
As long as the identity of Lin Yue being the heir of the Thousand Bones Empress was made known to everyone, then Saint Xuan Yi would have the certainty that Lin Yue would not be able to participate in the Sword Discussion Conference.
Even if he participated, Lin Yue would not be able to represent the Two Element Sect to compete for the right to own the Sword Pavilion.
Saint Xuan Yi’s words were like a stone stirring up a thousand waves, causing the entire Two Yi Sect to completely explode.
“Senior Brother Lin Yue is the heir of the Thousand Bone Empress? I didn’t hear it wrong, did I?”
“So, Senior Brother Lin Yue has mastered the Void Sword, no wonder he can command ten thousand swords and break apart the Immortal Blood Clan’s Hundred Sacred Blood Armour.”
“Only the Void Sword can break open the Hundred Saint Blood Armour.”
“No wonder Senior Brother Lin Yue’s cultivation has skyrocketed in the recent year, so it’s because of the inheritance from the Thousand Bone Empress.”
……
At this moment, some of the young cultivators actually knelt on the ground and bowed in the direction of Book Mountain.
There was no way around it, the Thousand Bone Empress’s fame was simply too great, it was simply a myth-like existence, and the crowd was thrilled to be able to meet her heir.
Above the clouds, the white-haired old man from the Immortal Blood Race, however, snorted coldly and was quite angry, “Rubbish.”
Even he hadn’t expected that the Third Prince would still lose when he wore the Hundred Sacred Blood Armour?
The white-haired old man stretched out a large hand and grabbed the Third Prince, who had collapsed in a pool of blood, and brought him above the clouds. He did not immediately check the Third Prince’s injuries, instead, he first checked the extent of the damage to the Hundred Saint Blood Armour.
The defensive power of the Hundred Saints Blood Armour depended on the user’s cultivation level.
If, for example, a Half Saint, wore the Hundred Saint Blood Armour, the defensive power would be raised to another level. Even if, he just stood in place and Zhang Ruochen used the Void Sword, it would be impossible to pierce through the Blood Armour.
The higher the user’s cultivation level, the stronger the defensive power of the Hundred Saints Blood Armour would be.
Right now, the Hundred Saints Blood Armour had been pierced through by the Void Sword and suffered extremely serious damage, so it would take at least a decade of repair using the holy blood of a Saint and another ten years before the blood armour could be fully restored.
The white-haired old man’s face became very fierce as he said in a deep voice, “Galo Gu, waste him for me.”
Wearing the Ten Thousand Treasures robe, Galo Gu stood at the top of the mountain of books, folded his hands, and bowed to the white-haired old man.
Afterwards, his pair of golden Buddha eyes looked over towards Zhang Ruochen and said, “Examiner Lin Yue, please teach me.”
Anyone would be able to tell that after that battle just now, Zhang Ruochen was already injured on top of his injuries, and was a little unsteady on his feet, so how could he still have any fighting left in him?
Zhang Ruochen, however, appeared quite calm and smiled faintly, “Today, I’m already tired and don’t want to fight again. How about, I introduce you to an opponent?”
With that, Zhang Ruochen’s finger, pointed down the mountain.
Gala Gu followed Zhang Ruochen’s finger and looked downwards, and he couldn’t help but jump with an eyebrow.
Only to see, on the steps below, a cloth-clothed monk who stood at a height of two metres and seven feet, like a giant, carrying a two-metre-long broad sword, with a ferocious look on his back, was marching towards the top of the mountain.
The cloth-clothed monk was less like a monk and more like a butcher compared to Galuogu, growing a face full of horizontal flesh, with a ferocious light in his eyes as he said, “The traitor of the Deadly Zen Sect actually dares to appear in the Kunlun Realm, how outrageous.”
Hearing this familiar voice, Huang Yichen frowned slightly and also looked down the mountain.
When she saw the cloth-clothed monk, at once, she revealed a dazed look, “Sure enough, it’s the Standing Ground Monk.”
Huang Yichen, however, knew that Monk Standing Ground had been chasing after Zhang Ruochen during the Market Realm Battlefield, like cowhide candy, unable to shake him off.
What made people even more speechless was that Monk Standing Ground was also a crow’s mouth, literally saying that whoever died would die, and many people could not wait to seal up his mouth.
“Galuagu, the poor monk sees that your seal hall is black and the corners of your mouth are green, today, I’m afraid that there will be a plague of blood.”At the bottom of the mountain, the high-pitched voice of Monk Lidi travelled out in all directions.
