Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
“Such an impressive creature. It’s able to kill a heaven pass saint.”
Zhang Ruochen walked to the body of that heaven pass saint from Four Symbols Sect, staring at that bloody body. He saw the black devil dead Qi covering it, and he couldn’t touch it.
Hua!
He waved his arm, and holy Qi gushed out, dispersing the devil dead Qi.
Zhang Ruochen picked up a crimson holy sword and held it in his hand. He could feel the heat coming from the sword.
There seemed to be a fiery mountain hidden in the sword.
“Great sword.”
He couldn’t use Abyss Ancient Sword at the moment, so he needed another saint sword.
A powerful saint sword could make his strength surge.
That crimson saint sword was called Fire Luan Sword. It was a thousand-patterns saint weapon, which was a great sword.
Ge Ge.
The corpse that only had half a body left suddenly opened its eyes, showing its blood-red eyeballs. They were filled with fierceness, and the corpse dashed toward Zhang Ruochen’s neck.
Ci La.
Zhang Ruochen waved his sword, and fiery light trailed, cutting the body in half.
Saintess Liuli looked shocked. She said, “He’s already dead, yet he can still make attacks. Is his saint soul still alive, driving his body?”
“It’s not a saint soul, but evil death Qi.”
Zhang Ruochen recalled something that he had encountered. Once a monk touched evil death Qi, he would either die or completely lose his mind to the point that he was bloodthirsty and belligerent.
What kind of power did evil death Qi have?
Did it actually come from Kunlun’s Field?
He could only know the answer after he captured that black shadow.
Zhang Ruochen took a deep breath, walked to a part of the body and took his saint source out, putting it in his sleeves.
“Terrifying. What kind of creature is he?”
“Is he a ghost?”
At this moment, the two heaven pass saints from Xingxu Sect and Yao Jia rushed out of the floating island with horror. They were both incredibly injured, trying to escape the space bubble.
“Is that black shadow really that powerful? It was able to kill one heaven pass saint and injure two, including Martial Saint Canglan.”
Zhang Ruochen thought for a bit and rushed to the floating island.
Meanwhile, he asked Qing Mo to stay where she was instead of risking going to the floating island. He told her to hide somewhere safe.
The two heaven pass saints looked at Zhang Ruochen and the six female saints. They shook their heads and whispered, “Those young people are so fearless. They’re no match against that black shadow. The wisest thing to do is to run away.”
Hong Long.
The small world in that space bubble shook, and then, two blood-red clouds flew in, tainting the sky bright red.
Two heaven pass blood generals rushed out of the bloody clouds and landed.
Four Sword Blood Saint had already recovered. Each of his four hands were holding a sword, and a powerful sword intent gushed out of his body. Suddenly, most of the small world was covered by sword Qi, making ear-piercing sounds.
Miefeng Blood Saint guffawed and wielded chains that were as thick as buckets. They looked like two iron dragons, blocking the way of those two human heaven pass saints. “Now that you’re here, why are you trying to leave?”
Four Sword Blood Saint looked at the leaves that fell from the floating island. His eyes gleamed, and he wielded all four of his saint swords, forming four sword rivers, slashing the floating island, trying to break it and take the Thousand Leaves Saint Core Grass.
Peng Peng.
A giant reticle emerged around the floating island, warding off the sword Qi.
“There’s another formation guarding that island.” Four Sword Blood Saint stepped on the swords, trying to get onto the island.
The floating island was in chaos. Zhang Ruochen and the six female saints formed a sword formation, helping Martial Saint Canglan fight that black shadow. The ancient buildings on the island kept collapsing because of the fight.
Four Sword Blood Saint rushed toward the center of Thousand Leaves Saint Core Grass. If he could get its root, he could take it away with him.
“You’re just an immortal vampire. Do you really think you can get the Thousand Leaves Saint Core Grass?” The black shadow turned into black air, rushed out of the sword formation and struck down with its metal palm.
Four Sword Blood Saint tried to fight back, hitting the metal palm.
However, that metal palm seemed to have endless strength, pressing the saint sword held by Four Sword Blood Saint. Meanwhile, a trace of cold evil death Qi gushed toward Four Sword Blood Saint through the sword.
“You… You are of the death race?” Four Sword Blood Saint was startled. He immediately threw his saint sword away and retreated. After he balanced himself again, he summoned his four sword slaves to ward off the evil death Qi.
There came the sound of wind chimes again.
The black shadow landed on the ground with his hands behind his back. He said, “You’re somebody in Kunlun’s Field since you know I’m from the death race. If you follow my orders and help me take the Thousand Leaves Saint Core Grass, then you’ll have done me a favor.”
“You’re not strong enough to bend me to your will. The Thousand Leaves Saint Core Grass is also very helpful for us immortal vampires. How could I give it to you?”
Four Sword Blood Saint stuck the saint sword in the rock, looked at Martial Saint Canglan and said, “It’s not a creature from Kunlun’s Field. Let’s kill it first before we try to get the Thousand Leaves Saint Core Grass, shall we?”
“Okay.”
Martial Saint Canglan wasn’t a pedantic person. She made up her mind to get rid of that black shadow first before fighting the immortal vampires, as it was an unstable factor.
She bit her finger, and then, a drop of phoenix blood flew out, falling on the saint sword, slashing toward that black shadow.
“Four Direction Slaying God.”
Four Sword Blood Saint performed a sword formation, and the four saint swords formed a circle, overlapping with each other before hitting toward that black shadow.
Zhang Ruochen, with the help of the six female saints, pointed forward, then Fire Luan Sword flew out, forming a fiery cloud, diving toward the ground.
That black shadow was indeed powerful, yet it wasn’t able to ward them off.
Chi Chi.
The saint sword that contained the phoenix blood cut the waist of the black shadow, tearing it apart, and then, bloody mist was spilled.
The power of the phoenix blood burned the evil death Qi in his body.
The black shadow mourned and said coldly, “Each of you will be executed for this. The day is coming very soon.”
Peng.
The body of that black shadow exploded, turning into a cluster of black mist before it disappeared.
The dimming wind chime was melodious, yet it was filled with death.
After the black shadow disappeared, Four Sword Blood Saint turned around and rushed toward the center to grab the Thousand Leaves Saint Core Grass.
The Thousand Leaves Saint Core Grass was enormous, and each of its leaves was at least five thousand feet long. It was gleaming with light, and the center was so bright that it looked like a saint lamp that could illuminate the entire world.
The saint Qi became so thick that it was almost liquid.
“No wonder it’s a saint pill that’s a hundred thousand years old. It’s indeed priceless. If I can get it all for myself, I can become a saint king in ten years.”
Four Sword Blood Saint suppressed his excitement, reached out his hand and tried to get the root of Thousand Leaves Saint Core Grass.”
Suddenly, a cluster of golden mist permeated from behind the grass.
After inhaling a little bit, Four Sword Blood Saint was shocked. “Jinfu Poison! Who just ambushed me?”
Ci La. Four Sword Blood Saint slashed forward and cut the leaves.
Gu Songzi showed up from behind the grass. He smiled sneakily and said, “So what? This belongs to me anyways. This whole herb garden belongs to me. You have to pay the price for trespassing here.”
Zhang Ruochen saw the golden poison mist and stopped chasing.
That elder was hiding somewhere near Thousand Leaves Saint Core Grass. He played “The wolf has a winning game when the shepherds quarrel” again.
Gu Songzi knew that he wasn’t able to get out and seize Thousand Leaves Saint Core Grass, which was why he had been hiding here and waiting until the fight was almost over.
Gu Songzi took out a black pill, pinched it with his fingers and threw it to Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen took the pill and asked, “What is this?”
“Nine Dragons Ten Tigers Pill. After you take it, your cultivation will surge tenfold. If you can help me get Thousand Leaves Saint Core Grass, I’ll heal you,” Gu Songzi said.
Zhang Ruochen found Gu Songzi hard to trust. However, with their current situations, that elder might not trick him.
After taking the pill, Zhang Ruochen wished that his power would surge so that he could kill those two heaven pass blood generals.
However, nothing had changed after he took it.
Four Sword Blood mobilized half of his saint Qi to suppress the Jinfu Poison while he wielded his saint sword against Gu Songzi.
That elder was horrendous. He had to kill him first.
However, before he could even wield the saint sword, he felt powerless and almost kneeled in front of Gu Songzi.
Gu Songzi smiled. “Actually, I set another colorless poison that has no smell. Even saints will be weakened for at least an hour after being poisoned by that.”
Actually, saints wouldn’t be affected by any toxin given their cultivation and life force.
However, Gu Songzi wasn’t an ordinary poison master. He was saint master when it came to pill way.
Aside from Four Sword Blood Saint, Zhang Ruochen, Martial Saint Canglan and the six female saints all wanted to knock down Gu Gongzi as he was too wicked and shameless.
Gu Songzi stared at Zhang Ruochen and said, “Don’t you worry. You’ve already taken the cure, so you won’t be affected. Help me kill them first, then we’ll talk about healing you.”
Zhang Ruochen was speechless again.
The so-called Nine Dragons Ten Tigers Pill was nothing but a cure.
Zhang Ruochen knew Gu Songzi better now. He was less reliable even than Blackie and the Crazy Alcoholic combined. He couldn’t believe a word Gu Songzi said in the future.
