Both Zhang Ruochen’s wounds and strength had recovered a little, so he got up and went out of the cabin, supporting his tired body.
He looked around, standing at the bow.
The wide old river had been completely frozen by the cold Qi. The river surface was perhaps thicker than an iron slab.
Red snowflakes fell from the sky, turning the world into one of ice and snow.
The army of 100,000 Immortal Vampires gathered with powerful influence. With the battle flags flying, shadows moving, they had completely blocked the sky and the ground.
A fly wouldn’t be able to get out, not to mention a person.
Zhang Ruochen held his arms in front of his chest, and looked up. He laughed, “Such a great scene to just capture me! Don’t your Immortal Vampires value me too much?”
It was surely costly to send an army of 100,000 soldiers and several Blood Kings to capture a Half-Saint. Common people would never do that.
“Zhang Ruochen, you are truly powerful to have killed two saints of the Demonic Sect in a row, which has caught my sight. But, if that’s all you’ve got, you will have no opportunity to run away today and are surely going to die.”
A man in blood armor stood about 300 meters above the ground. Two pairs of dozens of meters long blood wings were on his back, like four pieces of blood clouds.
He was big and more than four meters tall. He held a bronze battle axe and looked at everything with disdain. He was like Mars, giving out terrible Saint Might.
“Were you sent by Blood Emperor Qingtian?” Zhang Ruochen found a seat at the bow.
“No. I’m with Blood Emperor Qitian. I’m sure you’ve heard my name, King Zhiyu,” King Zhiyu said proudly.
Zhang Ruochen pondered for a while and shook his head. “Never heard of it.”
Zhang Ruochen had only dealt with the Immortal Vampires from Blood Emperor Qingtian’s tribe, and had little connection with figures from other tribes.
The Immortal Vampires’ army had disturbed many elders of the Evil Ways. They all raced here to investigate the movements of the Immortal Vampires.
Different from Zhang Ruochen, those saints of Evil Ways who hid afar were astonished by the name King Zhiyu.
Yao Ji stared at Zhang Ruochen who was sitting on the green boat, standing afar. She laughed, “Zhang Ruochen, the young boy, doesn’t he know about King Zhiyu, or did he really want to piss him off?”
She knew clearly that King Zhiyu was a bloodthirsty and ruthless figure. During the Immortal Vampires’ fight with the Imperial Government’s fight in the Northern Region, King Zhiyu once killed a very powerful Saint of War.
King Zhiyu had a terribly strong power to have killed a Saint of War.
After the Immortal Vampires had left Manji Island, they had landed on the Northern Region to start take cities and seize territories. They had raised the Northern people in pens and slaughtered them. Countless human sects and families had been exterminated by them.
Half of the Northern Region were in chaos.
At the same time, some names of the Blood Saints among the Immortal Vampires had been circulated in the Kunlun’s Field. King Zhiyu was one of them.
King Zhiyu had wiped out an influential family of saints and dozens of sects of all sizes, taken nine counties and kept billions of people in the Northern Region for the Qitian Tribe.
Yao Ji never expected that such an evil spirit would have come to the Tiantai State in the Central Region.
“You don’t know that you will soon be killed.”
Yao Ji shook her head, thinking that Zhang Ruochen had no chance to survive.
250 kilometers away, Kong Hongbi, Saint General Gui Gu and the other saints of the Sacred Central Crypt were all looking to where King Zhiyu was at.
Saint General Gui Gu put on a solemn look and he felt a little scared. “The cultivation of King Zhiyu is much higher than Yao Ji or Mr. Nie. It’s unbelievable that he has come to capture Zhang Ruochen in person.”
The saint of the Sacred Central Crypt said, “Not only has King Zhiyu come. I’ve found that there are other strong strands of Qi in the army of the 100,000 Immortal Vampires. They can be Blood Kings as well. Zhang Ruochen can’t run away today. Young Master, we’d better leave now, in case accidents happen.”
Kong Hongbi shook his head. “Wait a second. I’d like to find out whether Zhang Ruochen has the Taotian Sword or not. If the Immortal Vampires took the Taotian Sword away, they would have completed collecting the six saint swords to open the Underground Spirit Prison and release Pluto.”
“It would surely be a catastrophe for humans once Pluto was released,” said Saint General Gui Gu.
Kong Hongbi laughed, and said, “If we, the Sacred Central Crypt, can take the Taotian Sword from the Immortal Vampires, our reputation will go up greatly. With this sword, won’t we be able to command the rest of the world?”
The saint of the Sacred Central Crypt was encouraged. Light flashed in his eyes. He nodded, and said, “OK. Let’s wait.”
Red snowflakes fell from the sky above the frozen river, like feathers.
King Zhiyu stared at Zhang Ruochen. He didn’t feel angry, but gave a laugh. “It doesn’t matter. You are a dead person already. I don’t have to waste time with you.”
King Zhiyu lifted his battle axe. Mighty power gushed out from it, even revolving around the blood Qi of the sky and the ground.
Rays of lightning flew out from the giant whirlpool of blood Qi to connect with the Bronze Battle Axe.
“Wait a second. Are you sure that I have the Taotian Sword on me?” Zhang Ruochen raised his voice.
Hearing this, King Zhiyu pulled back his strength and might a little. He didn’t use the axe to chop, and instead, he shrank his eyes and said, “What do you mean?”
Zhang Ruochen appeared to be relaxed, and showed no fear. He said, “Why should I keep the Taotian Sword on me. I must have hidden it in a secret place. If you kill me, nobody will ever find it. Without the Taotian Sword, how could you rescue Pluto?”
King Zhiyu fell silent. He stared at Zhang Ruochen for a long time, and laughed. “Zhang Ruochen, you are still too young! You think you can keep your life in this way? To tell you the truth, as long as I drank up all your blood and refined your saint soul, your memory would all come to me. Would it be difficult for me to find the Taotian Sword?”
King Zhiyu put the battle axe away, and landed on the green boat from the air. He reached out a bloody claw to capture Zhang Ruochen.
When Zhang Ruochen was about to be caught by King Zhiyu, a monk in green robes walked out of the cabin, and threw a fist.
Bang.
Nine circles of energy ripples gushed out from his fist, making the sound of gushing currents, and surf pounding on the rocks.
Two explosions were heard.
The blood armor and the saint body of King Zhiyu crushed at the same time, becoming the bloody mist.
Pit-a-pat!
The Bronze Battle Axe and the pieces of the blood armor fell from midair to land on the surface of the frozen river.
The Bronze Battle Axe was so heavy that it had smashed the river surface with a boom, leaving thick patterns on it.
And King Zhiyu didn’t leave a bone behind.
Both his spirit and body had disappeared.
Luo Xu held a fist-sized spinel in his hand. It gave out dazzling brilliance in the color of blood.
It was the Saintly Source of King Zhiyu.
One fist and the notorious King Zhiyu was turned into blood powder.
Such terrible strength astonished all Immortal Vampires on site. They found it hard to believe.
Afar, the old creatures of the Evil Ways were astonished as well. The sound of gasping was widely heard among them.
There could be such a scary figure in this world?
Saint General Gui Gu opened his eyes wide, and found it hard to calm himself down. “Who’s this? The power of his fist has smashed a saint of the Immortal Vampires into dust?”
Kong Hongbi’s face lost color. His heart beat violently.
The monk beside Zhang Ruochen, who was in green robes, was terribly scary. One of his fists could break everything in this world.
The saint of the Sacred Central Crypt put on a solemn face, and exhaled a long breath. “He’s Luo Xu.”
“Luo Xu? It’s him?”
Both Kong Hongbi and Saint General Gui Gu held their breath, and stared at the monk in green robes.
They had heard about the name of Luo Xu more than once before. This man was definitely a legend in the Kunlun’s Field. He was revered and worshipped by many people.
“Since Luo Xu showed up, it wouldn’t be enough even if the Immortal Vampires sent 100,000 more troops. How lucky is Zhang Ruochen!”
Even the proud Kong Hongbi had to admit the power of Luo Xu.
“Maybe not.”
The saint of the Sacred Central Crypt shook his head slightly. “I can feel a strong strand of terrible Qi from the army of the Immortal Vampires. He might be as powerful as Luo Xu.”
Zoom.
A silver brilliance came from the horizon, cracking the blood mist. It condensed into a silver mirror which was more than 300 meters in diameter, hovering above the green boat.
An ancient palace hovered underneath the silver mirror.
A giant black turtle carried the palace on its back, giving out a terrible Qi of wildness.
An Immortal Vampire who had three pairs of silver wings stood at the top of the palace. He stared at the green boat underneath with his silver eyes. He said in a loud voice, “King Taige under Blood Emperor Qitian greets Principal Luo.”
The appearance of King Taige caused a sensation which was several times that of King Zhiyu.
Those old creatures of Evil Ways who stood afar at first, displayed their moves to escape this place without hesitation.
Only a few who had absolute confidence in themselves stayed. But they all retreated thousands of kilometers away, preparing to leave at any time.
King Taige was ten times more powerful than King Zhiyu. He was a core figure underneath Blood Emperor Qitian.
Zhang Ruochen stared at the three pairs of silver wings on King Taige’s back, feeling shocked.
Ordinary Immortal Vampires would only have a pair of blood wings made of flesh.
Immortal Vampires with silver wings must have extraordinary body structures, maybe even stronger than saint bodies of humans.
And the higher their cultivations were, the more flesh wings they would have.
King Zhiyu had only two pairs of blood wings.
It was shocking to find that King Taige had three pairs of silver wings on his back, which meant that he had a scary body structure and cultivation.
Maybe only Luo Xu onsite could stay calm. He laughed, “King Taige, since you know that I’m here, you should run away at once. Why come to suicide?”
