“No, if we don’t get rid of it, we will be surrounded by bloodworms and die in the stone forest.”
Suddenly, Zhang Ruochen stopped his footsteps and sunk his legs downwards, half of his calves plunging all the way into the ground. In the next moment, an incomparably bright golden Buddha light emanated from his body, and at the centre of the light, a bead was suspended.
“Ow!””
A low-pitched dragon roar emanated from the bead.
Immediately after, the dragon bead emitted an incomparably powerful Holy Dragon aura and flew out, striking at the gigantic bloodworm.
Where the dragon pearl flew past, a stone pillar burst into pieces and turned into stone dust, and the ground was left with a long indentation.
“With a bang, the Dragon Ball struck the abdomen of the giant bloodworm, causing it to scream miserably and fly out, flipping over on the ground. On its abdomen, the scales were shattered, and a large amount of blood emerged.
However, the bloodworm immediately rolled over again, and with a whip of its tail, it sent the dragon pearl flying, knocking a long string of stone pillars, all of them, off.
“What a strong defence, no wonder that Immortal Blood Race’s Half-Saint from earlier was also swallowed by it.”Zhang Ruochen was secretly shocked.
The power of the Dragon Pearl was so powerful that if it struck a Third Stage Demi-Saint, even if he didn’t die, he would be crippled. However, the Blood Worm did not suffer multiple injuries, instead, it even launched a counterattack at an extremely fast speed.
The speed and defence were all at the top level, coupled with the deathly evil aura that was a hundred times thicker than that of a normal bloodworm. With the strength of this gigantic bloodworm, even if a fourth-ranked Half-Saint encountered it, I’m afraid it would be quite a headache.
“Master Dust, I’ll come to your aid.”
The body of the Elephant Swallowing Rabbit, which continued to expand and became over ten metres tall, opened a large mouth and bit on top of the bloodworm’s tail, biting out two deep teeth marks.
However, the bloodworm’s counterattack also beat the Swallowing Elephant Rabbit badly, as a sharp barb slashed through the Swallowing Elephant Rabbit’s abdomen, almost tearing the Swallowing Elephant Rabbit’s body into two halves.
At the critical moment, Zhang Ruochen struck the Dragon Pearl again, striking the top of the bloodworm’s head and sending it flying.
The bloodworm’s head shattered and blood flowed out, suffering a considerable amount of trauma.
Of course, Zhang Ruochen was able to hit the bloodworm’s vitals, and the attack of the Elephant Swallowing Rabbit also played a great role.
Just as Zhang Ruochen confronted the Blood Worm, the mummified man quietly dived back, collecting his body’s aura and hiding behind a stone pillar.
“The aura emanating from this dragon pearl is really powerful, it can even pierce through the scales of the Bloodworm King, it must be the dragon pearl of a golden dragon. So it seems that even if he isn’t a Time Successor, he should have obtained all of the Time Successor’s treasures.”The mummified man’s eyes, like a viper, were very sharp.
For the time being, he did not strike and continued to observe, wanting to look for a better time in order to make a kill.
The blood worms under Zhang Ruochen’s feet were increasing in number, and some of them, even pounced towards the Swallowing Elephant Rabbit lying on the ground, wanting to devour the blood and flesh of the Swallowing Elephant Rabbit.
“It seems that there is no way to clean you guys up without using some means.”
Zhang Ruochen took out the Qiankun Divine Wood Diagram, and firstly, he took the Devouring Elephant Rabbit into the world of the Diagram Scroll, and then, he injected the Saint Qi in his body, as fast as he could, into it.
On the diagram scroll, a space-time inscription pattern emerged, emitting a golden light.
In the next moment, a golden treasure tree that was more than ten feet tall appeared from above the picture scroll, emitting an incomparably dazzling light, purifying all the surrounding evil qi of death.
“Wow!”
Zhang Ruochen waved the Golden Treasure Tree and swept it forward, whipping up a powerful storm that swept away all the blood worms and stone pillars on the ground.
The power of the Golden Treasure Tree had a tremendous restraining power against the Death Evil Qi and the blood worms.
After the blood worms flew out, they directly burst apart and all of them turned into dead bodies.
The only one that resisted the power of the Golden Treasure Tree was the huge bloodworm, which turned into a blood shadow and pounced on Zhang Ruochen’s neck, opening its sharp teeth and biting downwards.?Zhang Ruochen swung the Golden Treasure Tree out once again, and a rain of golden light flew out from the top of the blades, clearing out all the ghostly qi within a radius of several miles.
The giant blood insect suffered a blow from the golden treasure tree, and its body emitted a giggling sound as blood and flesh flew out, breaking into two and falling heavily to the ground.
“The power of the Heaven Receiving Divine Wood has such a strong suppression power against the Evil Qi of Death.”
Before striking, Zhang Ruochen had not expected that the power of the Golden Treasure Tree would be so terrifying that it killed one of the most powerful Bloodworms in just one strike.
Right at the critical moment when Zhang Ruochen and the bloodworm exchanged their last blows, the mummified man seized the moment and pressed his hands towards the ground, the two pieces of white cloth wrapped around his arms, burrowed into the ground and rushed towards Zhang Ruochen.
When Zhang Ruochen defeated the Blood Worm, the two white cloths rushed out from the ground and wrapped around Zhang Ruochen’s legs, spreading all the way upwards, wrapping around his knees and waist.
The white cloths, which were not ordinary materials, were stained with the blood of a great saint.
To be exact, the white cloth on the mummified man had once been used to wrap the corpse of a great saint, and had a very strong divine power.
Zhang Ruochen had long discovered that the mummified man was hiding nearby, only that, earlier, he had been held back by the bloodworms, which was why he hadn’t dealt with him. This man had struck quite decisively, pinching at an extremely crucial moment, making Zhang Ruochen unable to defend himself.
“Spatial Shift.”
Zhang Ruochen’s body, all of a sudden, disappeared from the white cloth, and when he reappeared, he was already above the mummified man’s head.
The Golden Treasure Tree swung out once again, striking downwards.
The mummy man had seen the mighty power of the Golden Treasure Tree, so he immediately retracted the two white cloths and wrapped them around his arms, and then, he struck out upwards with both hands.
Right at this moment, the white cloths on the mummy man’s body emerged with a faint glow, presenting a three-metre-tall black silhouette that resembled a Gaijin War God, merging with the mummy man’s aura.
“Could it be the shadow of a certain great saint?”
Seeing that black silhouette, Zhang Ruochen also felt his heart skip a beat, a feeling as if the other party could kill him with a single glance.
The black silhouette collided with the golden treasure tree, erupting an incomparably strong wave of energy that swept the surrounding stone pillars, all of them, out into an open space.
The mummified man slid backwards, still possessing an incomparably strong aura on his body, and all over his body, he was not injured at all.
Zhang Ruochen held the Golden Treasure Tree and landed back on the ground, stomping out a crack in the earth.
Once again, there was an even match.
Right at this moment, in mid-air, a palm-sized black talisman flew in and was printed on the mummified man’s chest.
“Break.”
Immediately after, the talisman emerged with a brilliant light and burst apart, sending the mummified man flying and crashing to the ground a dozen feet away.
The mummified man stood up again, flicked the dust on his body, and glanced towards the stone forest not far away, revealing a scornful look in his eyes, as if he was talking to himself, “Mind your own business.”
After saying this, the mummified man transformed into a ghastly wind and erupted into an astonishing speed, and in the blink of an eye, disappeared in front of Zhang Ruochen’s eyes.
“What a fast speed.”Zhang Ruochen said.
Even if he fully activated his Meteor Invisibility Suit, Zhang Ruochen’s speed could not possibly reach that fast.
Of course, the mummy man wasn’t able to exert such speed at all times, otherwise, if he erupted during a fight, not many people would be able to defend against his attacks.
Zhang Ruochen’s gaze, looking towards the direction where the talisman had just flown over, only to see a tall and thin figure wearing a yellow robe, walking out from the stone forest.
The other party’s eyes, too, were staring at Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen smiled faintly, “Shi Ren.”
This person was none other than the Rune Master, Shi Ren, who had fought side by side with Zhang Ruochen when he had just entered the Netherworld.
Shi Ren still had a serious face as he said, “Zhang Ruochen, you came a little too slowly, but I have been here for five days.”
“Something happened on the way and delayed the journey. Do you know who that person was just now?”
Zhang Ruochen withdrew his Saint Qi, and instantly, the golden Treasure Tree also transformed into a single inscription, drilling into the Qiankun Divine Wood Diagram and disappearing.
Shi Ren said, “That person is a hero of the Corpse Catching Ancient Race, named Yin Xuan Ji, because, he had broken into a great saint’s tomb and managed to escape, becoming a hotly sought after inheritor of the Corpse Catching Ancient Race. It was said that he had obtained terrific chances in that great saint’s tomb. Anyway, this person is a very powerful character and is by no means a generalist.”
The Corpse Catching Ancient Race was also one of the very mysterious ancient races in the Kunlun Realm, and at its peak, great emperors had been born, capable of competing with the Immortal Blood Race.
Just now, Yin Xuan Ji fought with Zhang Ruochen without releasing the Battle Corpse,, merely using his own power, thus showing that he did not use his full strength at all.
Zhang Ruochen felt slightly surprised and asked curiously, “Why does Brother Shi know so much about the Corpse Catching Ancient Race?”
“Because, I also come from an Ancient Race, perhaps with you should be ……”
Shi Ren was about to say something, but in the end, he retracted what he was about to say and immediately said, “Just now, the two of us appeared together, and that’s why we caused a considerable amount of pressure on Yin Xuan Ji to immediately retreat. However, the several battle corpses that Yin Xuan Ji has refined are all quite terrifying, and are even much more powerful than his own. If and when he calls the war corpses over, they will definitely be a huge threat, so it’s better for us to leave this place first.”
Zhang Ruochen also had some knowledge of the Corpse Catching Ancient Clan and said, “It is said that the Corpse Catching Ancient Clan and the Ghost Raising Ancient Clan share the same breath, and since the successor of the Corpse Catching Ancient Clan appeared in the Ghost God Valley. Most likely, the Ghost Raising Ancient Race’s inheritor is also nearby.”
“That’s right, the princess of the Ghost Raising Ancient Clan, who is Yin Xuanji’s fiancée, has indeed entered the Ghost God Valley, and I’ve met her once and almost died in her hands.”Shi Ren said.
Not long after Zhang Ruochen and Shi Ren left, in the stone forest, the sound of bells rang out.
Yin Xuan Ji reappeared in the area where the battle had just taken place, holding a golden bell that he gently shook. Behind him stood three Half Saint Battle Corpses.
The three Half-Saint War Corpses all exuded an incomparably strong aura, and they were a golden corpse, a dragon corpse, and a three-headed, six-armed War God corpse.
“Fleeing quite quickly.”
Yin Xuan Ji snorted coldly, and two flames emerged from a pair of green eyes.
In the stone forest, a misty female voice resounded as if it was coming from nothingness, “Are you sure that the other party is a Time Successor?”
“There shouldn’t be any mistake, I personally saw him perform a Spatial Transference.”Yin Xuan Ji said in a deep voice, “Having snatched my Divine Obstinacy Fruit, I will make him, sooner or later, pay a painful price.”
Afterwards, Yin Xuan Ji flew down onto the back of the dragon corpse, bringing the other two battle corpses with him, and left the area.
