Chapter 628: Reckoning step by step
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
“Gosh, how could Zhang Ruochen catch up so fast?”
In a hurry, Di Yi cast Hell Ghost King Claw once again, with icing air steaming from his hands, to hit the flying Abyss Ancient Sword.
“Puffet!”
The Abyss Ancient Sword pierced through Di Yi’s right palm with an irresistible force, and half of the sword pierced Di Yi’s chest.
Crimson blood poured out of Di Yi’s palm and chest, dripped to the ground along with the dim Holy Soft Leather Armor.
“How… How could this be…”
Di Yi’s face was very pale. Although he knew that the Abyss Ancient Sword was powerful, he still could not accept the present situation.
It is impossible for Hundred Inscription Weapon to pierce through the Holy Soft Leather Armor. Had Zhang Ruochen’s sword reached the level of the Inscribed Sacred Weapon?
The Abyss Ancient Sword had not reached the level of the Inscribed Sacred Weapon. Only its blade was made of Natural Divine Iron, an extremely sharp material. It had also absorbed a large number of Genuine Martial Arms and Holy Weapons. Therefore, it could not be matched by any Hundred Inscription Weapons in terms of sharpness.
Flying from the mid-air, Zhang Ruochen held his index finger and middle finger together and formed a sword skill. He dominated his Abyss Ancient Sword and propelled it forward furiously.
The Abyss Ancient Sword which pierced Di Yi’s body burst forth with a more powerful sword radiance, rashly pushing his body to the distance.
The sharp blade constantly pierced into the body, until the sword tip had emerged from Di Yi’s back.
The Abyss Ancient Sword continued to slam on Di Yi’s body for thousands of miles, causing Di Yi to bleed a lot.
“Puffet!”
Finally, the Abyss Ancient Sword completely pierced through Di Yi’s body and flew from his back.
Zhang Ruochen reached out his hand and caught the bloody hilt. As he waved his arm, blood shed from the sword edge.
Carrying the Abyss Ancient Sword, Zhang Ruochen walked up to Di Yi and said coldly, “Do you think that you can run away today? I stabbed you just now because I had promised one of my old friends that I would avenge her brother on you.”
If other monks suffered such a heavy blow, they will surely die.
But Di Yi did not die and stood firmly in the same place, with a light of hatred in his eyes. The black Holy Qi in his body spurted out again and converged into the wounds of the chest and palm, with a sound of “Ch-ch.”
Two wounds were healing quickly.
His body seemed to be immortal.
Zhang Ruochen watched quietly until Di Yi’s wounds were 70% to 80% recovered before stabbing Di Yi again at his neck.
Feeling extremely angry with wide eyes, Di Yi stretched out his hands to grab the Abyss Ancient Sword.
However, his fingers were instantly cut off as he touched the sword edge, and all his fingers flew out immediately.
With a bang, Di Yi was beheaded by the Abyss Ancient Sword.
Even after Di Yi’s head rolling out, the demonic shadow on the ground turned into a dark shadow and quickly fled to a place 99 meters away.
“Chh!”
Black fire spurted out of Di Yi’s head and headless body, burning the corpse into ashes. Then a stream of black Holy Qi and a stream of red Spiritual Blood burst out.
The Holy Qi and Spiritual Blood flew to the place where the demonic shadow resided, forming Di Yi’s body again, without any wounds.
Although Di Yi regained his body, Zhang Ruochen could see that Di Yi’s aura had become much weaker, and even his cultivation realm also retrogressed.
This showed that the so-called immortal body was not really immortal.
Zhang Ruochen said coldly, “The second attack is for the thousands of souls of the royal family in the Yunwu Commandery. I remember this account at all times, and today I will kill you for them.”
“Zhang Ruochen, you will not be able to kill me.”
Di Yi gritted his teeth and shouted angrily.
Zhang Ruochen said, “Are you sure? If I kill you once more, I am afraid your cultivation will slip to the First Change in the Fish-dragon Realm.”
Di Yi’s eyes turned red. With his hands clasped together, a Sacred Mark emerged between his eyebrows. Surrounding this central mark, he condensed a small vortex.
The strength Qi emitted from the vortex became stronger and stronger, and its coverage became wider and wider as if it were to sweep Zhang Ruochen into it.
From deep in the center of Di Yi’s forehead, a crimson light flew out and condensed an ancient seal.
The Crimson Ancient Seal suspended above Di Yi and rotated rapidly. With each rotation, the ancient seal would grow larger, and the power erupted would fluctuate stronger.
For a moment, the Crimson Ancient Seal grew to more than 30 meters high. It was enveloped by raging flames and had an old and majestic Holy Aura.
The Crimson Ancient Seal, called “Red Copper Brahma Seal,” had reached the peak of the Hundred Inscription Weapon. Once it is launched, a mountain would be razed to the ground.
Its class even surpassed that of the current Abyss Ancient Sword.
Di Yi shouted to manipulate the Red Copper Brahma Seal so he could suppress Zhang Ruochen.
At the same time, the demonic shadow on the ground continued to rush toward Zhang Ruochen and attacked his legs from below.
Di Yi was attacked from two directions at once, with the Red Copper Brahma Seal above and the demonic shadow below. Di Yi was risking his life in this battle against Zhang Ruochen.
The strong Holy Aura of the Red Copper Brahma Seal seemed to weigh down the entire space. It greatly limited Zhang Ruochen’s ability to move and prevented Zhang Ruochen from using Space Moving to escape.
It was not the first time Zhang Ruochen fought Di Yi, so he was familiar with Di Yi’s trump card.
When Di Yi launched Red Copper Brahma Seal, Zhang Ruochen took out the Yin Yang Wooden Graph and threw it into the sky. The map unfolded and a door of space opened. It formed a devouring power and absorbed the Red Copper Brahma Seal.
“No …”
Di Yi noticed that something was wrong and he desperately mobilized the Genuine Qi to take back the Red Copper Brahma Seal.
Unfortunately, everything was in vain. Di Yi’s cultivation was one realm lower than Zhang Ruochen’s, which put him in a less favorable situation. How could the Red Copper Brahma Seal match the Yin Yang Wooden Graph?
A moment later, the Red Copper Brahma Seal was taken into the Scroll World and lost contact with Di Yi.
When Zhang Ruochen launched the Yin Yang Wooden Graph, he also mobilized his spiritual power to condense a lightning ball. The ball hit the ground and struck the demonic shadow.
With a loud crash, smokes came out of the ground.
The demonic shadow suffered severe injuries and became somewhat dim, so it quickly fled back.
Seeing that the Red Copper Brahma Seal was taken away, Di Yi became very pale. He mumbled, “What kind of Holy Weapon is that…? How could it take away the Red Copper Brahma Seal?”
Zhang Ruochen took the Yin Yang Wooden Graph back and squeezed it in his hand. He gazed at Di Yi on the opposite side and said, “It is just a scroll. If you have other Holy Weapons to launch, I can also take them away.”
Carrying a sword, Zhang Ruochen took a step toward Di Yi. “Di Yi, I will launch my third attack to avenge my mother on you. It was a mistake for you to involve her in our battle. I will not let you suffer for too long. I will give you a straightforward death, which will finally settle the grudge between us.”
After the first two attacks, Zhang Ruochen had already found some clues.
As long as he took away the black Holy Qi and Spiritual Blood from Di Yi, he would be able to kill Di Yi.
“Tap! Tap!”
Every footstep sounded like a death knell bell.
Di Yi finally realized that Zhang Ruochen’s purpose of visiting the Eastern Evil Land was to execute his revenge on him.
Pieces of hatred would be reckoned step by step.
Only Di Yi could understand the pain of being killed multiple times. It was sore and unbearable, even more unbearable than death itself.
At first, Di Yi was relieved when he heard of Zhang Ruochen’s death. He imposed himself on top of everyone else in the Eastern Region and looked down on everyone else.
Even though he knew that Red Wish Emissary lusted for being the young master, he only saw her as a small potato. He thought that as long as he arrived at the Cyan Cloud County, he could effortlessly turn her into ashes.
However, Zhang Ruochen’s reappearance shattered his confidence and pride.
At that moment, Di Yi had a realization. He used to be too self-glorifying and careless. Even though Zhang Ruochen teamed up with Red Wish Emissary, how could they rival him?
“Zhang Ruochen, you are like a mirror to me. Only through battling you, was I able to find so many weaknesses.” Di Yi was not angry but laughed.
Zhang Ruochen said, “It is not too late for you to understand, but it is too late for you to fight back!”
“Not late, not late.” Di Yi shook his head.
He was not panicked nor angered and returned to his true nature.
“Oh! Do you think you still can escape?” Zhang Ruochen said.
“Aren’t you curious as to why I fled to the God Falling Ridge instead of the Evil Emperor City?” Di Yi asked back.
“Why?” Zhang Ruochen asked.
Di Yi smiled and raised his head to look at the God Falling Ridge.
It could be seen that there was a crimson fire cloud on the horizon flying over, and there were many golden shadows in the clouds that were shaking with a quack.
Zhang Ruochen activated his Sky Eye and watched calmly. He saw that the flying fire clouds turned out to be thousands of Flaming Red Crows.
Flaming Red Crow was a superior level, third class savage beast, owning the blood meridian of an ancient immortal bird “golden crow.” Its strength was comparable to the warriors in the Completion of the Earth Realm.
Since the establishment of the First Central Dynasty, the imperial court had begun to siege savage beasts on a large scale. All savage beasts in the Kunlun’s Field had already crouched there. It was rare to have thousands of Flaming Red Crows appeared all at once.
Among the crows, there was a Flaming Red Crow Prince. It had a huge body and emitted fiery flames. It looked almost like a legendary golden crow.
Viewed from afar, the Flaming Red Crow Prince was like a hot sun in the crimson clouds, bursting with striking power and aura.
“Quack-quack!”
The crows flew above Zhang Ruochen and Di Yi. Then they swooped down and flew around them, turning the surrounding area into a fire zone.
