Suspended in mid-air, the gladiatorial stage was made of ebony iron, one foot thick, and could withstand the full force of a saint’s blow without being destroyed, and it had been left over from the Middle Ages, and was still undecayed to this day.
The rings around the edge of the gladiatorial stage were tied with seventy-two black iron chains, while the other end was connected to the central altar.
“Swish.”
Zhang Ruochen appeared to be very frank, signing the life and death contract, leaping forward and ascending the gladiatorial stage first.
Standing at the centre of the gladiatorial stage, the Meteor Invisibility Clothes on his body emitted a white light, and a pair of sharp sword eyes swept over to the Half-Saints of the Ministry of Soldiers as he said, “Signing the life and death pact, life and death are not up to me. On this gladiatorial stage, I will definitely show no mercy, so all of you had better think clearly before ascending.”
Zhang Ruochen was telling the truth, in this battle, it was absolutely impossible for him to show mercy, and once he made his move, he would definitely strike.
There was no way around it, the number of Half-Saints in the Military Department was too high, if he didn’t lay down his killers, Zhang Ruochen would surely be met with a wheel battle.
At the end of the day, if he lost the battle due to the depletion of his Saint Qi, he would definitely be dead.
This battle was truly, either you die or I die.
“This king is here to clean you up.”
Wind Bird was originally planning to make a move, however, beside him, another Bing Ministry Half-Saint rushed out first, stepping on top of the chain with a clattering sound and flying towards the corner fighting platform.
Wind Bird stared at the short and thin man who flew to the gladiatorial stage with some indignation, saying, “Wang Park is too eager to grab military honours.”
The battle of life and death was naturally a one-on-one duel, and since someone had made the first move, Wind Bird had no choice but to retreat first.
Wang Park, also an inferior domain king of the court, with the title of “Sable Demon King”, was only about one metre and a half tall, but had four legs and four arms, and apart from his face, his arms and legs were completely covered with dark green scales.
At a glance, it was clear that this person was from the Twin Sable Half Human Race, a person with two faces, one male and one female, with four arms and four legs.
“Zhang Ruochen, this king, Wang Park, will take your life on behalf of the Ministry of Military Affairs.”Wang Park burst out.
Zhang Ruochen had some impression of this person.
Earlier, he was the one who claimed to be the sworn brother of the Wanxiang King and wanted to fight Zhang Ruochen to the death in order to avenge the Wanxiang King.
Now, he claimed that he was representing the Ministry of Military Affairs to take Zhang Ruochen’s life, but just thinking about it, Zhang Ruochen also felt that it was very funny and ridiculous.
Wang Park’s four arms each held a crescent-like blood blade.
As the holy qi was injected into them, the four blood blades immediately emitted an icy cold aura, as if they were transformed into four blood moons.
In an instant, the entire sky became dark, blowing an icy cold wind, with only the four rounds of blood moons hanging in the sky above the fighting stage, emitting a scarlet red light.
Below the gladiatorial stage, the crowd all felt a chill that froze to the bone marrow.
“Wang Park should have already cultivated the Earth Demon Scripture to the twelfth layer, breaking through to the realm of a Sixth Order Semi-Saint, so it’s no wonder that he dared to go and fight Zhang Ruochen in a life and death duel.”Wind Bird’s eyes narrowed and his fists squeezed tighter.
“Back then, when Zhang Ruochen borrowed the Monstrous Sword and executed the Thousand Stripes Destruction Power, he was able to kill four Kings of the Ministry of Soldiers.”
“Do you think that Zhang Ruochen would still dare to use the Thousand Stripes Destruction Strength today?”
“Even if, he can kill a challenger with one move, he will definitely exhaust the Saint Qi in his body. By the time the second challenger ascends the gladiatorial stage, he can easily press him to death by using just one finger.”
“Zhang Ruochen, who can’t use the Thousand Stripes Destruction Strength, is only a more powerful First Order Half-Saint, and with Wang Park’s cultivation, he should be able to kill him within three moves.”?……
All the Half-Saints of the Ministry of War were all talking to each other, the only ones who remained silent were Wan Zhaoyi and the Sacred Book Talented Empress, who were sitting on top of the altar.
For Wan Zhaoyi, the Empress had only ordered him to take down Zhang Ruochen within three months. It didn’t say whether it was to die or live.
Obviously, killing Zhang Ruochen would be more favourable to him.
At that time, he only needed to chop off Zhang Ruochen’s head and send it to the Central Imperial City, and he would not be afraid of regenerating waves.
The eyes of the Sacred Book Talented Maiden, however, tinged with a few shades of worry.
In the end, Zhang Ruochen’s realm had only just broken through to a First Order Half-Saint, and if he were in a wilderness, with the Sacred Decree she had given him, fighting a Sixth Order Half-Saint, he would have a chance to save his life.
However, right now, he was fighting on a fighting stage, which was only that big, and moreover, there was also a formation shroud, so even if he wanted to escape, he wouldn’t be able to do so.
In a head-to-head situation, a First Order Half Saint could never be a match for a Sixth Order Half Saint.
One must know that when the Sacred Book Talented Lady brought the Nine Realm Sons back to the Central Imperial City, she had once done a test.
The result of the test was that even the Nine Great Realm Sons with their many cards and means could only fight against a Fourth Order Half-Saint at most at the First Order Half-Saint realm. Moreover, a few of these Realm Sons still ended in defeat.
Zhang Ruochen’s natural talent would only be at most one step higher than the Nine Great Realm Sons.
Even if the legend was true and Zhang Ruochen had reached the Fish Dragon Tenth Transformation, I was afraid that he would only be able to fight against characters at the early stage of the Fifth Order Half-Saint.
Facing Wang Park, who had already broken through to a Sixth Order Half-Saint, could Zhang Ruochen block it?
For some reason, the Sacred Book Talented Maiden’s tranquil Sacred Heart became exceptionally disturbed, very unwilling to see the image of Zhang Ruochen dying on the gladiatorial stage.
Not only the Sacred Book Talented Maiden, Li Min and Shi Ren were also very worried about Zhang Ruochen’s safety, they frowned tightly and held their breath, feeling very depressed.
On the contrary, Zhang Ruochen, who was standing at the centre of the fighting stage, was calm and composed, with his hands behind his back, staring at the four blood moons in the sky above.
Even though, how fierce the cold wind was, it couldn’t blow a single hair or corner of his coat.
“Burning Void Hegemony Blade.”
Wang Park’s entire body emitted a devilish aura that was as black as ink, and his original one-metre-five body swelled tenfold, transforming into a fifteen-metre-tall devil god.
Four crescent-like blood blades, burning with roaring flames, simultaneously chopped down towards Zhang Ruochen from four different directions.
Only the flames on the blood blades were extremely cold, freezing the entire gladiatorial stage and growing a sharp ice spike.
“Born Scale Transforming Dragon.”
Zhang Ruochen’s body let out a crackling sound as piercing golden light and surging dragon qi surged out from his body at the same time.
“Ow!”
A deafening sound rang out, and in the next moment, Zhang Ruochen’s body actually transformed into a golden dragon tens of feet long.
Two huge dragon claws, simultaneously slapped out forwards, colliding with the two blood blades, deflecting Wang Park’s attack.
In Wang Park’s eyes, a look of horror appeared, and in his haste, he immediately swung out the other two blood blades, chopping at the golden dragon’s neck and claws.
However, the power that erupted from the golden dragon was beyond his imagination.
The huge dragon’s claws, with a blazing flame aura, passed through the two blood blades and struck the top of Wang Park’s head.
“How can it be this strong?”
Wang Park was scared out of his wits, and with a pinch of his fingers, he crushed a jade talisman wrapped around his wrist.
“Boom.”
The jade talisman that burst into pieces formed a light shield that guarded his body.
This jade talisman was an amulet refined by a Spiritual Saint, and even though it was only a defective piece, it had amazing defensive power that could block the full force of a Ninth Order Half-Saint’s strike.
Of course, it could only be used once.
At first, Wang Park had spent 100 million spirit crystals and almost all of his wealth to buy it. However, he did not expect that he would be forced to use his life-preserving card by a First Order Half-Saint.
With a loud boom, the golden dragon claw struck on top of the light shield, slapping both Wang Park and the light shield, down and back to the gladiatorial stage.
After blocking the blow, the light shield also quickly dissipated.
“Damnable brat.”
Wang Park looked at the broken jade talisman on his wrist, his heart was very indignant, gritted his teeth and roared, “Earth Demon Transformation.”
Wang Park’s body, constantly expanding, became more and more huge, and in the end, transformed into a huge demonic sable, with sharp claws, sharp teeth, and blood red eyes.
One moment, on the gladiatorial stage, it was still two human cultivators fighting.
The next moment, however, it had turned into a dragon and a sable, causing the entire heaven and earth to be filled with a savage beast aura that was particularly bizarre.
Just now, Zhang Ruochen’s ferocious strike had startled quite a few people. The cultivators who were originally still gloating also put away the smiles on their faces.
A First Order Half-Saint’s attack could be so powerful that it struck a Sixth Order Half-Saint, who had to crush his protective amulet to save his life.
“The ninth palm of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm.”
Ri Min’s eyes lit up, her heart was very excited, a layer of redness surfaced above her condensed white face, finally seeing Zhang Ruochen transformed into a giant dragon was indeed very powerful.
Zhang Ruochen performed the Raw Scale Transformation Dragon, naturally, he also wanted to have a quick battle, the longer the battle went on, the more unfavourable it would be for him as well.
The golden dragon roared, circled in mid-air and swooped down again, striking out with all its might, fiercely exchanging blows with the Demon Sable that Wang Park had changed into.
In terms of strength alone, with Zhang Ruochen’s current cultivation level, he was actually only in the middle of the pack with Wang Park, and did not have much of an advantage.?Earlier, it was only because Wang Park was rather gullible that he was caught off guard by Zhang Ruochen.
“Boom boom.”
A dragon and a sable, constantly striking out claw marks, forming circle after circle of energy waves, sending the clouds in the sky dome, scattering in all directions.
The Devil Sable, who was lying in the centre of the gladiatorial stage, opened its bloody mouth and spat out a mouthful of cold air that wrapped around the four blood blades, simultaneously striking at Zhang Ruochen, who had transformed into a giant dragon.
“Crack me.”
A deafening voice of rage roared out from the giant dragon’s mouth.
The golden-coloured dragon clawed and grabbed downwards, tearing the void apart and forming a ten-odd feet long spatial crack.
The Demon Mink had long anticipated that Zhang Ruochen was proficient in spatial attacks, thus, the moment the spatial crack appeared, it immediately dashed out to the left.
Only, Zhang Ruochen’s reaction speed was much faster, and the Devil Ferret’s figure had only just moved.
The golden dragon flying above, however, had already transformed into a silhouette with flames burning all over its body, and quickly landed on the ground, striking out with a palm, and with a bang, it happened to strike the abdomen of the demon marten.
