“If Brother Zhang is willing to set off with the army, the Shi Family’s clansmen will die at least 10,000 less.”
Shi Ren was naturally very fortunate to learn that Zhang Ruochen was going to go to Golden Sparrow City together to help the Shi Family and deal with the Immortal Blood Clan, and his heart was also quite moved.
A true friend was one who could step forward without any hesitation when you needed him, and fight alongside you, even though he would die.
To know, Zhang Ruochen’s strength might not be comparable to a Seventh Order Half Saint.
However, the Immortal Blood Race that a Seventh Order Half-Saint couldn’t kill, Zhang Ruochen was able to kill.
For example, a First Order Half-Saint amongst the Immortal Blood Race, even though he could not defeat a Seventh Order Half-Saint of the Human Race, was able to use the Holy Decree and escape immediately.
The destructive power that an Immortal Blood Race of the First Order Half-Saint level was able to cause once he escaped was yet incomparably terrifying, and if he could not be subdued in time, it was feared that several ordinary people of the city would die.
However, Zhang Ruochen was different.
Not only did Zhang Ruochen possess the Meteor Stealth Clothes, he could unknowingly sneak in and assassinate the Immortal Blood Race’s Half-Saint.
Moreover, even if the Immortal Blood Race’s Half-Saint realised the danger and wanted to use his holy decree to escape, Zhang Ruochen could use his spatial power to intercept him.
Therefore, once the war with the Undying Blood Race started, Zhang Ruochen’s value was a bit greater than the value of a Seventh Order Half-Saint or even a Ninth Order Half-Saint.
Shi Ren’s brow furrowed as he said in a low voice, “I am naturally very grateful that Brother Zhang is able to help the Shi Family and besiege the Immortal Blood Race of Golden Bird City together. However, Brother Zhang should be careful, this time, in addition to the Shi Family’s cultivators, the Elephant Army from the Ministry of Military Affairs will also assist from the side in the attack on Golden Bird City.”
“If the King’s Lord of the Ministry of Military Affairs knows that Brother Zhang has appeared in Golden Bird City, it is not certain that they will use some shady tactics to deal with you.”
Zhang Ruochen said, “This time, when I travel to Golden Bird City, I will hide my figure and specialise in assassinating the Immortal Blood Race’s Semi-Saint realm figures, and I won’t easily reveal my identity until I have no choice.”
“Haha! With Brother Zhang stepping in, the Immortal Blood Race’s Half-Saints in Golden Bird City will definitely have a huge headache.”Shi Ren let out a loud laugh.
The Immortal Blood Race fed on human blood, treating humans like pigs, dogs, cows, and sheep in general, and were simply created to exterminate humans.
Zhang Ruochen did not have any favourable feelings towards the Undying Blood Race, as long as he could kill one more Undying Blood Race, it meant that more humans would be able to survive.
That very night, the Shi Clan’s army, assembled, was stationed in a tent on the outskirts of the Ancestral House.
Zhang Ruochen stood on top of a loft building on the shore of the Spirit Lake and looked over in the direction of the tents, roughly estimating.
There had to be around 100,000 cultivators living in the Martial General’s Tent, all of them cultivating the Sword Dao, and were private armies cultivated by the Shi Clan, each one of them being a first-rate powerhouse.
In the sky above the military general’s tent, there was a channel of haze rising up into the sky, connecting with the navy blue clouds.
From afar, it looked like a colourful waterfall pouring down from the sky, creating a very magnificent scene.
“Worthy of being an ancient clan inherited from the Middle Ages, just with this army alone, the Shi Family is enough to sweep through the 36 counties of the Yuan Province and become the hegemon of a province. I’m afraid that the Shi Family, there are still quite a few hidden forces.”
Zhang Ruochen’s gaze, looked in another direction, which was a relatively smaller area.
In that tent, all of them were talisman masters, and the true direct lineage power of the Shi Family.
After all, the most powerful inheritance of the Shi family was the Rune Dao.
Even in the entire Kunlun Realm, there were three paths and nine streams, ten thousand clans and sects, and each family had to study the talisman path to a certain extent. However, the Shi Family’s Rune Dao could also be ranked in the top five.
Zhang Ruochen detached a stream of spiritual energy and slowly probed towards the tent where the talisman master lived.
However, his spiritual force, which had only just approached the tent, was immediately detected by several other even more powerful spiritual forces.
In order to avoid causing a misunderstanding, Zhang Ruochen immediately withdrew his spiritual energy.
“It seems that the Prison Zhen Ancient Race is indeed determined and ready to eliminate the Immortal Blood Race in its entirety, and it has indeed used its true depths.”
Zhang Ruochen stopped probing into the strength of the Shi Clan and sat on the top of the attic, running the sixth layer of the Nine Heavens Bright Emperor Scripture as he continued to cultivate.
Only the deeper one’s cultivation level was, the higher the success rate of breaking through to the Second Stage Half-Saint after taking the Sacred Elemental Pill would be.
The next day, the armies of the Shi, Wang, and Shen Clans, the three great clans of the Ancient Clan of Prison Suppression, started off at the same time, some riding savage beasts, some travelling on the Ministry of War’s Semi-Saint grade warships, arranging themselves into square formations, marching out of the Stygian King’s Sword Mound in a grand manner, and heading forward to encircle the Undying Blood Clan’s encampment.
Zhang Ruochen carried the Heavenly Sword on his back and rode on the back of the Spitting Elephant Rabbit as he followed the rear of the Shi Clan’s army and rushed in the direction of Golden Bird City.
After Xiang Zhengfeng had escaped the Underworld Dungeon, it was proof that he must be a lurker of the Immortal Blood Clan.
At the same time, Zhang Ruochen’s identity would no longer need to be questioned, and Ling Feiyu naturally returned the Monstrous Sword to him.
“Master Dust, the ball of Half-Saint Light you gave me, I have already completely refined it and my cultivation is about to break through to the Fifth Order Half-Saint. Can you give me another ball of it?”
The Swallowing Elephant Rabbit licked its lips as it ran rapidly.
For the recent period of time, the Devouring Elephant Rabbit and the Demon Ape, had been cultivating in the World of Picture Scrolls. Moreover, Zhang Ruochen had given them all the Half-Saints he had killed and the Half-Saints’ Light he had obtained to refine.
The cultivation of the Elephant-Swallowing Rabbit and the Devil Ape naturally skyrocketed.
“I’ve given all the Half-Saint’s Light I’ve collected to you and the Demonic Ape, and there’s not a single ball left. If you want to get more Half-Saint’s Light, you can only rely on this battle. The more Immortal Blood Race Half-Saints you kill, the more Half-Saint Lights you get, the more you get.”Zhang Ruochen said.
Refining the Half-Saint’s Light could be said to be the fastest method for Half-Saints to raise their cultivation. It was simply, plundering others and transforming them into their own cultivation.
Only, the side effects of human cultivators refining the Half-Saint’s Light were too great.
That was why Zhang Ruochen chose to refine Divine Blood, not only could he raise his realm, but he could also temper his fleshly body, although, the speed of cultivation enhancement would be slightly slower, it was more solid, and for the future, it would have endless benefits.
Of course, refining the Half-Saint’s Light, to the savage beasts, but not much harm.
It was for this reason that some Evil Saints, most of them, would hunt Half-Saints and use the Light of Half-Saints to feed their mounts and battle pets.
Zhang Ruochen’s handing over the Half-Saint’s Light, to the Elephant Swallowing Rabbit and the Demon Ape, was actually for the same purpose as those Evil Dao Saints.
After all, it was hard to beat four hands with two fists.
As long as the strength of the two beasts, could quickly become strong, they could actually become Zhang Ruochen’s right and left arms, enhancing his overall strength.
Distancing from Golden Bird City, it was getting closer and closer, Zhang Ruochen stood on top of a black foothill, and could already see the towering city walls in the distance.
In front of Golden Sparrow City, there was originally a mountain range across, but it was opened up by a Saint realm ancestor of the Shi Clan, who used a Thousand Stripes Saint Artifact to cleave through it with a single strike of his sword, opening up a passageway hard and fast.
“Rumble.”
The Shi Family’s army of 100,000 sword cultivators, riding huge-bodied savage beasts and holding battle flags, completely surrounded Golden Bird City.
Above the army, hovering above them were two black steel mountains, a hundred feet tall, in the form of battleships, on the ground, casting two huge black shadows.
Those were two Half-Saint level battleships, the forbidden weapons of the Ministry of War.
In order to besiege the Immortal Blood Race, the Ministry of Military Affairs had temporarily lent seven half-saint level warships to the Prison Zhen Ancient Race, and the Shi Family had been allocated two of them.
