In a moment, Wan Ji suppressed the Evil Qi of Death and sealed it in his right arm, unable to invade his internal organs and Qi Sea.
Wan Ji’s right arm was very stiff and unable to move, however, the Saint Qi released from his body was still quite strong, and he took a step towards Zhang Ruochen, laughing in anger, “Good boy, you are really powerful. Even in the Market Realm Battlefield, this king had never encountered such danger, yet he almost fell into your hands.”
Zhang Ruochen lifted his sword and slowly stood up, smiled and said, “So what, I’m still not a failure?”
Wan Ji saw the smile on Zhang Ruochen’s face and felt quite displeased. It was clear that his cultivation, which far exceeded that of the other party, was unable to shock the other party into submission.
Could it be that Zhang Ruochen thought that he had become an invalid because his right arm was temporarily unusable?
If that was the case, he had to wonder if Zhang Ruochen was not too arrogant and cocky.
With his cultivation, as long as he was more careful and didn’t make the same mistake again, he could easily clean up Zhang Ruochen even if he only used one arm.
Han Chu’s hands were tugged tightly together, feeling sorry for Zhang Ruochen, just now, it was a perfect opportunity, just a little bit short of killing that strong person from the Ministry of Military Affairs.
However, the other party’s strain was just too fast, and he had dodged the bullet.
In this way, Zhang Ruochen fell back into passivity, and even …… no longer had the power to fight back. Because, the other party would never, ever make the same mistake again.
……
Outside the city of Shentai City, a white-haired old crone and a middle-aged man in red robes stood at the top of a maple tree, looking out in the direction of Shentai City.
The middle-aged man, probably in his forties, had a soft gaze, yet exuded a majestic aura as he said, ”This son hasn’t even stepped into the Half-Saint realm yet, and he was able to fight against Wan Ji to such an extent that he is really rare. Only, he should have already used all his strength as well, if, we don’t make a move, I’m afraid he will die in Wan Ji’s hands.”
The white-haired crone’s gaze, appeared extraordinarily deep, her voice hoarse, “There is no hurry, I see that brat’s demeanour is very calm, there should still be a backhand.”
“There is still a backhand?”
The middle-aged man frowned and said, “Wan Ji is one of the commanders of the Leopard Army, even in the Ministry of Military Affairs, he is a prestigious figure. Even if that brat has a backhanded move, can he still bounce back?”
“Look again, look again.”The white-haired crone laughed.
Below the white-haired crone and the middle-aged man lay an unconscious man, precisely Cao Gu, one of the two powerful warriors under Wan Ji.
Beside Cao Gu, there was also an Earth Martial Saint Light Cannon.
These two people, they were truly formidable, actually able to take down a Half-Saint without a sound or a word, and furthermore, even a powerful person like Wan Ji was unaware of it.
It really made people curious, what exactly were they?
In the Divine Platform City.
Zhang Ruochen gently shook his head and sighed, “The difference in cultivation is too great, it’s not even possible to concede defeat.”
“If, you had come to this realisation and tied your hands, this King wouldn’t have made up his mind to kill you. It’s just a pity that it’s too late for you to regret it even now.”
Wan Ji no longer hid the murderous aura on his body, and the voice he spoke with also carried a strong chill.
Zhang Ruochen shook his head and said, “I don’t have any regrets, only that I had to use the hands of an outsider to clean you up, so I have some regrets. If, my cultivation, had broken through to the Half-Saint realm, how good would it be?”
Hearing these words, Wan Ji was slightly stunned.
Just then, he saw that a picture scroll, flew out from Zhang Ruochen’s brow and hovered in midair.
A black ghost cloud surged out from the picture scroll, emitting a morose aura.
At the centre of that cloud of ghosts, stood a woman with an extremely beautiful face, wearing a long coat that outlined a rather proud figure.
However, her eyes were extremely cold.
Even Wan Ji trembled at the sight of those eyes of hers.
“Ghost King.”
Wan Ji’s eyes widened as his face turned quite pale, and even his legs, too, began to tremble.
Zhang Ruochen let out a sigh and said, “If not as a last resort, I really don’t want to invite her out.”
What Zhang Ruochen said was the truth from the bottom of his heart, even though the Blood Moon Ghost King had already pledged allegiance to him, he didn’t like it, however, to have the Blood Moon Ghost King step in and help him out with anything he encountered. If that was the case, he would lose the ability to deal with danger.
Only, his words, when heard in Wan Ji’s ears, were quite harsh.
Wan Ji felt that Zhang Ruochen was completely teasing him, clearly having a Ghost King by his side and being completely invincible, yet he still deliberately acted as if he was fighting him with considerable effort. What was it if it wasn’t teasing?
The Blood Moon Ghost King looked very indifferent as he said, “Zhang Ruochen, the person you want me to deal with is him? Wouldn’t it be a bit too weak.”
Wan Ji glanced towards the Blood Moon Ghost King, his face flushed red as he said, “Zhang Ruochen, count on your life, today, this king will let you go. However, you must not think that you can be lawless just because you have a Ghost King sheltering you.”?Wan Ji took out a roll of holy decree and injected his holy qi into it.
“Swish!”?The power of the holy decree wrapped around Wan Ji and transformed into a white stream of light, and in an instant, it rushed out of Divine Platform City.
Zhang Ruochen frowned and stared towards the Blood Moon Ghost King, saying, “Why didn’t you step in to hold him down?”
The Blood Moon Ghost King said indifferently, “I’ve already stepped in to scare him back, what more do you want from me?”?Seeing the Blood Moon Ghost King’s “If you’re capable, bite me” look, Zhang Ruochen was very speechless.
Obviously, Zhang Ruochen’s initial use of coercion and baiting to subdue her had indeed made her quite dissatisfied. Fortunately, they now, still had mutual use for each other, and thus, were able to maintain a very delicate relationship.
Unless Zhang Ruochen’s cultivation level, was able to surpass hers, otherwise, I’m afraid that it would be impossible to make her submit completely and utterly.
The Blood Moon Ghost King didn’t dare to offend Zhang Ruochen too much, so he added, “Besides, the holy decree that person grasps contains extremely powerful holy power, and in a split second, it erupts even faster than me. Even if I were to make a move, I’m afraid there’s only a fifty-fifty chance that I would be able to leave him behind.”
The strength of the holy power contained in the holy decrees enacted by people of different realms was naturally different.
The holy decree that Wan Ji was in possession of was written by a Saint who was even more powerful than the Blood Moon Ghost King, so if he wanted to escape, even if the Blood Moon Ghost King wanted to leave him behind, it wouldn’t be an easy task.
Right at this moment, outside of Divine Terrace City, however, Wan Ji’s miserable screams rang out.
“What’s going on?”
Zhang Ruochen was quite surprised, if Wan Ji hadn’t already vanished, why was he still nearby?
The Blood Moon Ghost King’s eyes, staring towards the outside of Divine Terrace City, revealed a grave expression as he said, “Someone has intercepted him.”?”Swish swish.”
The Blood Moon Ghost King and Zhang Ruochen rushed out one after the other, and soon rushed out of the city to a forest full of fallen leaves.
At this moment, Wan Ji was unexpectedly kneeling on the ground, trembling all over, looking at the white-haired old crone standing in front of him with extremely frightened eyes.
Beside him was a tattered volume of holy orders.
Wan Ji kept kowtowing and read, “I’m sorry, I’m wrong, I shouldn’t have offended your old man, I beg your old man to be gracious and spare me once …… in the future ……”
The white-haired crone didn’t even look at him, but just stretched out a finger, pointing it forward and striking it on Wan Ji’s brow.
“Snap!”
A shattering sound.
Wan Ji’s body, as if it was ceramic, cracked and turned into a crystal clear fragment that spilled onto the ground.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Ruochen felt a little choked.
What kind of person was the white-haired crone, how was she able, to scare Wan Ji to the point of kneeling and kowtowing on the ground? Wan Ji wasn’t this terrified even when he saw the Blood Moon Ghost King.
Furthermore, the white-haired crone’s killing methods were extremely bizarre.
The moment she killed the other party, she even refined the other party’s corpse, into energy crystals. The crystal fragments on the ground contained holy qi that was enough to be compared to holy stones.
“Eight Desolate Six Feats, are you guys from the Devil Sect?”Zhang Ruochen’s eyes were quite sunken.
The Eight Desolate Six Harmony Technique was the top technique of the Devil Sect, and by cultivating it to an extremely high level, it could transform all substances in the world, into crystals.
Once a living being was transformed into a crystal, it naturally meant death.
The Blood Moon Ghost King stood beside Zhang Ruochen, his gaze extremely cold and sharp as he stared at the white-haired crone and the middle-aged man across from him. The white-haired crone, in particular, made her feel impenetrable as well, definitely a relatively dangerous figure.
The white-haired crone put away the whispering crystal fragments, carefully sizing up Zhang Ruochen, nodded, and said hoarsely, “You actually know about the Eight Desolate Hexagonal Technique as well, it should be the Star Spirit who told you, right?”
The white-haired crone was very old, each hair was like white crystals, a pair of eyes, however, were like two black holes, sucking the surrounding light and heat, completely.
Mu Lingshi and Han Chu also rushed out of the city and quickly rushed over.
After Mu Lingshi saw the white-haired crone and the middle-aged man, her petite body shook slightly, and she immediately lowered her head and carefully walked over.
She bowed and saluted the two, saying, “Greetings to Master, greetings to …… Father.”
The middle-aged man was none other than Mu Lingshi’s father, Yun Zheng. Yun Zheng’s gaze, which landed on Mu Lingshi’s body, revealed an extremely stern expression as he said, “Why don’t you kneel down immediately?”
Mu Lingshi bit her lips tightly, revealing an extremely stubborn look in her eyes, not even lifting her head to look squarely at the middle-aged man across the street, saying, “I haven’t made any mistakes, so why should I kneel?”
At this moment, Mu Lingshi’s demeanour was a huge contrast from her usual look of joyful smile. Zhang Ruochen’s heart secretly guessed that the relationship between Mu Lingshi and her father might not be that cordial.
Yun Zheng snorted coldly and said, ”How dare you say that you haven’t made any mistakes? What did you do at the Boundary Son Banquet? The divine Son personally wrote a letter and handed it over to me, asking me to discipline you properly.”
Mu Lingshi’s eyes sharpened and said, “If he had the ability, he would have just reported to the Dark Night Palace and let the Dark Night Messenger judge me?”
“The Divine Son not reporting to the Dark Night Palace is already showing mercy to the Mu Family, and you still don’t know what’s good for you?”
Yun Zheng’s eyes were wide open, so angry that he was trembling, raising one arm, he was about to slap at Mu Lingshi.
