Chapter 1100: The One Behind It
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
The oasis was a little lower than the horizon. There were three tall sand hills to it. They piled up, like a plateau.
The wind cracking noises sounded one after another in the air.
Savage beasts with wings, descendants of large sects and some human shaped ghosts and evil spirits came here constantly and landed on the ground.
Although all forces were enemies and would fight without any reason, they didn’t fight now, but formed different camps and kept distance from each other. They all looked to the oasis.
The oasis was totally enveloped by the blood red mist, which kept rolling. Powerful waves gushed out from them with deafening noises, shaking the desert within about a 100 kilometer area like a giant blood monster.
The power was so terrible that no living creatures dared to go closer.
Blood Ants and Shizu Birds were the savage beasts that had arrived.
They had been searching for Zhang Ruochen’s traces in the vicinity when they felt the strong battle wave. Shizu Bird Beast King and Blood Ant Beast King led lots of the Half-Saint beasts in their clans to come here immediately.
One Half-Saint Beast was a blood red ant of the size of an elephant. It said, “It’s weird. I just passed this place not long ago, and I didn’t see this oasis before.”
“I flew over this place two days ago, and didn’t see the oasis either.” a Shizu Bird flew in the sky, speaking human language.
There were also some human monks who had passed here before and found no oasis.
Wan Huayu was in the Fire Phoenix Saint Armor, standing among the crowd. Because of her strong cultivation and pretty face, she was outstanding and quite noticeable.
She saw the difference and sniffed. “What a strong smell of blood. There could be many Immortal Vampires gathering inside the oasis. If I’m right, outside the oasis, there used to be a super Concealing Battle Formation, which had escaped the detection of all monks.”
“What? Lots of Immortal Vampires are hiding here? What do they want?”
“It’s less than 15,000 kilometers from here to Yingsha City. Their purpose might not be simple or kind.”
Some clever monks came to the realization immediately. “Coveting gains ahead, unaware of the danger behind. While humans and savage beasts fight hard, they could collect endless high graded blood.”
“Worse. I suspect that Immortal Vampires might be the ones to have intensified the fights between humans and savage beasts. It should be known that after the fight several days ago, the number of dead pre-saints and beast kings reached dozens. Dead savage beasts and human monks were around dozens of thousands,” Wan Huayu put on a cold face and said coldly.
“I remember it! Before the fight, some people inside Yingsha City shouted that we should fight savage beasts with our lives to avenge our dead, and that we should die on the battlefield rather than hide in the city. I thought they were reasonable then, but now, I feel like they were agitating people on purpose, forcing the two Heirs to lead human monks to fight savage beasts. If Zhang Ruochen didn’t stop all beast kings later, perhaps all human monks in Yingsha City would have died out.”
All human monks onsite gave it a careful thought and sweated out of fear.
There were some clever savage beasts thinking about it that recalled the several weird places. It seemed that someone did manipulate them.
At first, savage beasts had made the plan to surround human monks inside Yingsha City and stop them from robbing the heavenly treasures.
But violent war burst out later. The number of dead savage beasts was two or three times more than that of human monks. Some clans even died out.
If they could choose not to fight, who wanted to struggle to fight?
It was surely irreconcilable between savage beasts and human monks.
But the feeling of being used enraged all savage beasts.
Were it not for this fight, they couldn’t have found out the truth and would be hidden in the dark.
“Who is it fighing the Immortal Vampires inside the oasis?”
Both savage beasts and human monks were curious about it.
The pheonix-like eyes of Wan Huayu glowed with scarlet red flames like two saint fire flowers. She saw through layers of blood mist and finally saw the battle scene inside the oasis.
“It’s him again?”
Wan Huayu was surprised and filled witrh disbelief.
Zhang Ruochen had just fought a dozen beast kings on his own and almost exhausted himself. Several days later, he came to challenge the whole Qingtian Tribe.
Was he Mars?
Wan Huayu respected this Time and Space Descendant very much. Each time he would make big news and great achievements. He was not just bold.
Other monks who could achieve one thing that he had achieved would be known by the world and remembered throughout history.
“Zhang Ruochen is like my father. I’m far from standing together with them!” Wan Huayu sighed silently.
Wan Zhaoyi had done many shocking deeds in the past, or he wouldn’t have earned the name “Wan Zhaoyi of the Nine States of the Central Region”.
The whole Nine States of the Central Region had only produced the legend of Wan Zhaoyi himself in the recent 100 years.
Whereas Wan Zhaoyi was with the imperial government and had to obey many rules and regulations, Zhang Ruochen had no restrictions and could do whatever he wanted to do.
Comparatively speaking, Wan Huayu admired Zhang Ruochen more.
Other human monks exclaimed after seeing Zhang Ruochen, “Zhang Ruochen is bold and has won my respect.”
Wan Huayu grasped the sword with her right hand, feeling the hot sword intention and strong will to fight.
She had almost died in the fight several days ago, but also gained much and improved her cultivation.
Now, without borrowing the power of the Fire Pheonix, she could fight beast kings.
“Your Highness, please don’t.”
The Old Man in Purple stopped Wan Huayu, not wanting her to take the risk.
“Zhang Ruochen saved me once in Yingsha City. I can’t stand by and watch him fighting Immortal Vampires on his own.”
Most of the human monks had escaped from Yingsha City and were grateful to Zhang Ruochen. They planned to stand out and give him a hand.
The Old Man in Purple tried to advise, “The Immortal Vampires gathering in the oasis come from Qingtian Tribe. I believe Your Highness is clear how powerful a tribe can be. Us rushing to it will be like moths flying to the fire and won’t make any difference. We should wait and see. When Zhang Ruochen retreats, we will help him and stop the Immortal Vampires chasing after him.”
Wan Huayu was a very clever woman. She thought carefully for a while and took the saint sword back.
With Zhang Ruochen’s own power, he couldn’t touch Qingtian Tribe. Wan Huayu guessed that Zhang Ruochen must have just used the fight to force the Immortal Vampires to come to the surface.
Now his plan had worked and he would soon retreat.
In the oasis.
Zhang Ruochen’s Qi was extremely powerful. He raised his arms and the blurring shadows of green dragons and green elephants showed up, giving out roars of dragons and elephants.
Bang bang.
He displayed the Dragon and Elephant Prajna Palm and threw his palms quickly, bursting out the attack of almost 40 times.
It was known that Zhang Ruochen had reached the peak of Seventh Level Half-Saint and almost doubled his power, bursting out 40 times of attack. It was imaginable how terrible his power should be.
With three palms in a row, the blood red formation pattern was smashed.
Ten Half-Saints in the Formation retreated simultaneously.
Except for the Ninth Level Half-Saint, other Ninth Level Half-Saints all spit blood out of severe wounds.
It was horrible!
The Combined Battle Formation had combined the power of ten people, including a Ninth level Half-Saint.
Such a strong Blood Formation could compare with Pre-Saints and couldn’t resist the three palms of Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen chopped askew with one hand. He hit the neck of a Fourth Level Half-Saint Immortal Vampire, chopping his body in two.
The life of Immortal Vampire Half-Saints was strong. As long as they could drink blood, they could be resurrected from being chopped in two.
But the strike of Zhang Ruochen had shattered his saintly source, leaving him no chance to come back to life.
Bang!
Puff!
…
Zhang Ruochen kept attacking and killed seven Immortal Vampires Half-Saints in a row. When he was about to kill the eighth, he was stopped by a giant Blood Battle Formation.
“Zhang Ruochen, you are too proud. I will crush you.”
A bawl was heard in the giant Blood Formation.
The light given out by the giant Blood Formation condensed into a 3-kilometer-tall mountain, making people feel pressed. Inside the formation, 100 powerful Immortal Vampires stood there. More than half of them were Half-Saints.
A leak of its power had crashed the space with thick cracks.
The power of such a Blood Formation was terrible. If it was in the Kunlun’s Field, lower saints would have to dodge it.
But in the Blue Dragon Void World, Immortal Vampires dared not to display all their power, but kept it under control. Once the space broke, they would pay dearly.
An Immortal Vampire at the peak of Ninth Level Half-Saint standing at the center of the Giant Blood Formation transferred the power of the Battle Formation to lift the 3-kilometer-tall Blood Red Mountain shadow to crash into Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t move, nor did he use the Void Ancient Sword. He just released the Space Domain to envelope the whole Blood Formation.
Crack!
Violent spatial wave passed from above the Giant Blood Formation. A hold of dozens of meters in diameter showed up immediately, cracking the space to form the chaotic belt.
Some Immortal Vampires were quick enough to run out of the Giant Blood Formation.
But dozens of Immortal Vampires didn’t run fast enough and were taken in the broken space. Their bodies were ripped into pieces.
It was apparently unwise to use Combine Battle Formation to deal with Zhang Ruochen.
