Above one of the Half-Saint class battleships, a sharp air-breaking sound rang out, only to see a black sword fly out.
“Swish.”
The Saint Sword was originally only three feet long, but after it flew out, it transformed into a hundred feet long black dragon, charging straight towards the Golden Bird City below.
The aura between the entire heaven and earth also shook violently and surged outwards.
That Saint Sword was a Thousand Stripe Saint Weapon from the Thousand Stripe Saint Weapon Spectrum, called the Xuan Dragon Sword, the original sword of Shi Yunzhong, the Saint Realm Ancestor of the Shi Clan.
Earlier, it was Shi Yunzhong, who had used the Xuan Dragon Sword to inspire the Thousand Stripes Destruction Power, cutting apart a mountain range with a single stroke of his sword.
There was a rumbling sound.
The Xuan Dragon Sword and the Golden Sparrow City’s City Protector Formation collided together, erupting into a strong shockwave.
The earth in a hundred mile radius shook violently.
Just as the Shi Clan’s cultivators, attacked the Golden Sparrow City’s outer city guard formation, Zhang Ruochen rode the Elephant Swallowing Rabbit to a mountain villa that was less than fifty miles away from Golden Sparrow City.
Zhang Ruochen was actually quite worried about the Immortal Blood Clan, who had received the news in advance and set up traps as he explored the periphery of Golden Sparrow City.
In case they arranged for a team of latent Blood Clan cultivators to sneak in from the rear, outside the city, wouldn’t they catch the Shi Clan’s army off guard?
“Master Dust, why have you suddenly stopped?”Swallowing Elephant Rabbit asked.
Zhang Ruochen’s gaze, stared towards the mountain villa not far away, and read to himself, “There’s something odd.”
“Wow!”
In the centre of his eyebrows, a Heavenly Eye opened and looked over towards the manor.
Only, the manor was rather silent and there was nothing unusual.
The Swallowing Rabbit shook his head and said, “How come I don’t see where it’s odd? Only that the cultivators in the manor seem to have all been killed by the Immortal Blood Clan, not a single survivor.”?Zhang Ruochen carefully surveyed the surrounding terrain and environment, then, jumping off the back of the Swallowing Elephant Rabbit, he said, “Go in and take a look.”
If, for example, he was the commander of the Immortal Blood Clan in Golden Bird City, and had learnt in advance of the news that the Ancient Clan of Prison Suppression would be coming to encircle the city, he would definitely make two choices.
The first choice would be to immediately lead the Undying Blood Clan in the city to flee Golden Bird City and disperse. In this way, even if the army of the Ancient Prison Town Clan was no matter how powerful, it would not be able to completely exterminate them.
The second option, naturally, was to arrange for a powerful force to lurk outside the city, set up traps, and deal with the Ancient Clan’s army from the inside out.
The large-scale siege of the Immortal Blood Clan by the Zhen Gu Clan was already very loud, so even if thorough arrangements had been made, it was expected that the Immortal Blood Clan would have learnt of the news in advance.
Since, the Immortal Blood Race in Golden Bird City, did not flee, it was likely that they had made the second choice.
Zhang Ruochen had already carefully checked the terrain on the outskirts of Golden Bird City, and if the Undying Blood Clan really wanted to place a latent force outside the city, this mountain villa would be the best choice.
On the stone staircase outside the mountain villa, there were corpses lying all over the place. Those corpses, all of them were very shrivelled, the blood in their bodies had been sucked out, leaving only a layer of human skin wrapped around the bones. Among them, there were also the corpses of children.
Zhang Ruochen stepped on the stone ladder and travelled upwards.
Looking at the corpses on the ground, in his heart, a strong anger arose. Only, he tried to control his emotions and continued to remain vigilant.
“Master Dust, why are you being so cautious? It’s just an abandoned mountain villa, could it be that there are still undead blood races staying inside?”
The Swallowing Rabbit did not have any scruples and turned into a ball of red light, directly rushing up the stone stairs and entering the gate of the mountain manor.
“Be careful. ……”
Zhang Ruochen shook his head and also quickened his pace, chasing after him.
Only, he had only just stepped into into the gate of the mountain villa when he immediately sensed that it was not good, sensing a sharp killing aura that rushed over sharply from directly in front of him.
It wasn’t until that killing aura, entered within ten feet of Zhang Ruochen that he could detect the subtle fluctuation of Saint Qi, but he still couldn’t see any traces of his enemy.
“Illusion.”
Zhang Ruochen was secretly startled and immediately sprinted backwards, wanting to exit the mountain villa.
Since there was an illusion art covering the mountain villa, it meant that there was indeed an ambush inside the mountain villa. He had to immediately escape and inform the Shi Clan’s cultivators.
Only, behind him, another murderous aura rushed in and condensed into a blood mist, preventing him from exiting the mountain manor.
In the midst of the blood mist, a sharp claw extended out, piercing through Zhang Ruochen’s Sacred Soul Domain and striking the back of his head.
“Ninety-nine to one.”?The Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword flew out, and on the body of the sword, dozens of thunderbolts surged out, swinging out, forming nine sword shadows in a row, each of which were nine different moves.
“Plop.”
The sound of sword qi entering flesh rang out, having a large amount of blood spilling onto the ground.
The corpses of two Immortal Blood Clansmen fell from nothingness and collapsed in a pool of blood.
Zhang Ruochen put away the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword and stuck it on the ground, and in an instant, hundreds of sword qi flew out, forming a sword qi field that wrapped him in the centre.
With Zhang Ruochen’s current mental strength, he couldn’t even see through the other party’s illusions, so if he wanted to escape, I’m afraid it wouldn’t be an easy task.
The more this time, the less one could panic.
Once one panicked and fled outwards, instead, one would die faster.
“What a powerful illusion art, it can envelop the entire mountain village and still conceal the perception of the Shi Clan’s Saint Realm Ancestor… There are hidden dragons and crouching tigers amongst the Immortal Blood Clan.”Zhang Ruochen calmly said.
“Snap.”
The sound of applause rang out.
Immediately after, an evil voice came out from the middle of the main hall of the mountain villa, saying, “Worthy of being the bearer of the Monstrous Heavenly Sword, having been plunged into a deathly situation, you are still so calm, this Imperial Prince is also impressed.”
With a flash of a silhouette, the Immortal Blood Race’s Second Prince, appeared out of thin air outside the main door of the main hall, his figure standing straight, with a cold and arrogant aristocratic aura emanating out.
Zhang Ruochen stared at the Immortal Blood Race’s Second Prince, his eyes narrowed, and then, his pupils rapidly dilated as he said, “You are Xiang Zhengfeng?”
Xiang Zhengfeng’s appearance, had changed drastically, however, the sword intent that he had cultivated and the aura on his body had not changed.
The corner of the Immortal Blood Race’s Second Prince’s mouth turned up slightly as he said, “No wonder you were able to see through the illusions on the outskirts of the mountain villa, your eyesight is indeed not comparable to ordinary people.”
Wang Jie walked out from the main hall with a servile look on his face and bowed to the Second Prince of the Immortal Blood Race in a pandering manner.
Subsequently, when he stared at Zhang Ruochen, he changed his face and shouted coldly, “Zhang Ruochen, when you see His Highness the Second Prince, why don’t you immediately kneel down and bow? If you are more sensible, perhaps His Highness the Second Prince will spare your life once he is pleased.”
Zhang Ruochen’s palm was pressed on the hilt of his sword, but he didn’t even look at Wang Jie with his eyes as he said, “So it’s the Second Prince of the Immortal Blood Race, his status isn’t low at all.”
Seeing that Zhang Ruochen dared to ignore him, Wang Jie became even more irritated in his heart and clenched his teeth, saying, “Zhang Ruochen, you think you are very smart and have discovered the layout of His Highness the Second Prince. In reality, you are the biggest fool of all, when you stepped into this mountain villa, it also meant that you threw yourself into the net. You are now a turtle in a jar, why don’t you immediately tie your hands?”
“Where people speak, how can a dog interrupt?”
Zhang Ruochen didn’t hide, in the slightest, his contempt for Wang Jie.
Wang Jie was at least the son of the patriarch, and a proud son of the Ancient Prison Suppression Clan, yet he was willing to be the slave of the second prince of the Immortal Blood Clan, which was really even more hateful than the Immortal Blood Clan.
Hearing Zhang Ruochen’s words, Wang Jie was so furious that his head smouldered as he roared, “Zhang Ruochen,咋们今天，新仇旧恨一起算。”
Powerful Saint Qi, Wang Jie surged out from his body and condensed in his hands.
Two white bone swords, emerged from the palms of his hands, emitting a piercing white light, clearly two powerful Saint Swords.
