Chapter 1265: Encircle, Sudden Change
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
The three icebergs formed a triangular area. Zhang Ruochen and the others were standing at the center of the triangular area, being encircled by three death knights.
“Light of death knights.”
The three death knights infused their holy Qi into the long spear, and three traces of blood-red light gushed out of the long spears, overlapping each other. The death Qi inside the light kept piling up, which condensed the space inside the halo.
“Death light again. They’re trying to freeze the space to stop me from running away.”
Zhang Ruochen was smiling. He wasn’t intimidated by the powerful forces from the death knight. Instead, he looked around and said, “There should be another death knight. Where is he?”
All the death knights were wearing Ten Saints Blood Armor, and they had very similar forces. However, there were still some subtle differences.
Zhang Ruochen had fought the death knight sent by the Immortal Temple several times before, so he was very familiar with his force. He was certain that he wasn’t among those three death knights.
Hong Long.
The iceberg under Zhang Ruochen’s feet shook, and it started to ascend.
“Someone’s down there.”
Qing Mo yelled and looked terrified.
A death knight rushed out of the ocean, and he had a pair of gigantic blood-red wings. He had cold forces and was holding the iceberg that was more than a thousand feet tall. It surged to the sky.
Zhang Ruochen immediately understood what was happening. The fourth death knight was hiding in the water, and he was trying to ambush him after the three traces of death knight light were triggered.
The ocean water here could freeze saints to death, yet the death knight could resist that coldness. Instead of being frozen, he could still hold the iceberg over his head.
“Let’s see where you’re hiding this time, Zhang Ruochen,” the death knight yelled, and then, he clenched his fist and hit the bottom of the iceberg.
Hong Long. The iceberg was hit by the death knight, and it cracked, turning into fragments.
The fist destruction Qi formed a palm print that gushed upward. It pierced the broken iceberg and rushed toward Zhang Ruochen, Huang Yanchen, Qing Mo, Ao Xinyan and Blackie.
Zhang Ruochen and the others had ascended to at least a thousand feet high, and there was Xuan Yin Wind around them. If they were hit by the palm print again, they might get higher.
The higher they got, the more dangerous it would be.
Apparently, the death knights weren’t meant to kill Zhang Ruochen and the others with this punch. Instead, they wanted to kill them using the power of Xuan Yin Wind.
Qi Sheng held his arms, and his eyes gleamed with blood-red light. He smiled and looked at Zhang Ruochen, who was thrown to the sky after being ambushed.
We must annihilate that enemy, Qi Sheng thought.
Zhang Ruochen wouldn’t give the death knights the chance to do it. He used all his power to wield his sword, tearing apart the palm print.
The sword Qi pierced through the palm print, but it didn’t dissipate. It fell on the body of the death knight.
Ci Peng.
There were sparks on the Ten Saints Blood Armor, and then, he fell into Yin and Yang Ocean.
“He was so quick when he wielded his sword and sword Qi!”
Motian Crown Prince was also a powerful sword warrior, but he was still thrilled when he saw how Zhang Ruochen wielded his sword just now.
If Zhang Ruochen wielded his sword less than three hundred feet away from him, he wouldn’t be able to dodge it.
Which meant anywhere less than three hundred feet from Zhang Ruochen was a forbidden area. If someone was that close, he would be killed without question. Only saints who were at or higher than the Absolute Ground Realm could handle that.
Qing Sheng said, “It isn’t because of how fast he wielded his sword, but because the time becomes slower around him! Zhang Ruochen is able to wield the power of time and sword techniques at the same time. He’s strong enough to fight sword saints. We have to kill him now, otherwise, it’ll be impossible to do so in the future.”
Immortal Goddess shot a glance at Qi Sheng and looked bizarre.
Before, Qi Sheng was comfortable no matter how powerful his opponents were. He was filled with pride.
However, he had said twice today that Zhang Ruochen must be annihilated, which meant even Qitian Crown Prince lost his confidence in front of Zhang Ruochen.
Before Zhang Ruochen and the others landed on the ocean, the death knights standing in three different directions started to use their saint-spell-level attacks again, trying to kill them.
The power of the death knights could rival that of saints at the Absolute Ground Level. Nobody dared confront them directly, except Qing Mo.
Of course, Qing Mo might not be able to ward off the attacks from the three death knights if it weren’t for the power of the silver kitchen knife.
The three death knights performed three saint spells, and they were all mighty.
Three saint spells formed three blood-red mountains in the sky, and they tried to encircle Zhang Ruochen and the others.
It was Xueming Mountain Print, one of the three print techniques of the Xueming Death Knights.
Qing Mo was horrified. She had already forgotten the power she possessed. She fell while yelling in horror.
Zhang Ruochen was very calm at this moment. He grabbed Qing Mo who was falling and said, “Use the heir stamp to break the shackles on the space now.”
“Okay.”
Huang Yanchen and Ao Xinyan answered almost at the same time. They took out the heir stamp and help it up.
Huang Yanchen was a bit surprised. She took a look at the heir stamp held by Ao Xinyan, and she bit her lip. She looked upset.
Zhang Ruochen had given such a valuable treasure to Ao Xinyan.
However, Huang Yanchen immediately suppressed her emotions and mobilized her holy Qi to trigger the power of the heir stamp. And then, large golden emperor Qi exploded.
“Let me help you, princess.”
Qing Mo pressed forward with her white hands, and a holy Qi pillar gushed out, hitting the heir stamp. Suddenly, the power of the heir stamp surged.
A blue river flew out of the stamp, slashing toward the two blood-red mountains.
That blue river was a hair from Empress Chi Yao, which contained her saintly way rules.
Zhang Ruochen and Ao Xinyan operated the other heir stamp, letting out Emperor Qi and hitting the blood-red mountain.
Hong Long Long.
The power of the two heir stamps gushed out and crushed three snow mountains. They immediately dived and suppressed toward the three death knights.
“God-killing Cross Shield.”
The holy Qi inside Qi Sheng’s body flowed into the God-killing Cross Shield through his fingers, and then, he waved his arm. The giant cross carried a blood-red cloud, clashing with one of the heir stamps.
Hong Long.
After a blasting sound, the heir stamp and God-killing Cross Shield both bounced back, piercing through the wall of the death knight.
The Immortal Goddess raised her arm, opened her hand and yelled, “Listen to me, Xuan Yin Wind.”
Hu Hu.
Xuan Yin Wind above the Abandoned Deep Sea flew toward the palm of the Immortal Goddess, forming a whirlpool.
At the center of the wind whirlpool, a half-transparent giant formed. It was more than thirty feet tall, and there was roaring sound inside, louder than thunder.
Human-shaped wind.
The Immortal Goddess wielded the human-shaped wind, hitting another heir stamp.
Zhang Ruochen took a look at the human-shaped wind, and he was dazed.
He flew to more than three hundred feet above the Abandoned Deep Sea before. He was attacked by a human-shaped wind that was around ten feet tall, yet he was not injured.
As for the human-shaped wind wielded by the Immortal Goddess, it was more than fifty feet tall. The destructive power was definitely larger.
Hong.
The human-shaped wind was terrifying. It pierced through the emperor Qi around the heir stamp and clashed with the stamp, suppressing Huang Yanchen and Qing Mo.
Zhang Ruochen had activated four thousand inscriptions on the Ancient Abyss Sword when he saw the Immortal Goddess wielding the human-shaped wind.
“Break.”
Zhang Ruochen slashed forward with the thousand-patterns destruction, and he cut the human-shaped wind into halves from the top to the bottom.
The shattered human-shaped wind turned into thousands of small winds and flew away.
Qing Sheng and Immortal Goddess were only targeting the heir stamp. Apparently, they wanted to stop Zhang Ruochen from breaking the space freeze from the light of the death knights.
If the space shield wasn’t broken, Zhang Ruochen couldn’t leave.
“Keep attacking. Let’s see how long he can last.”
Qi Sheng looked cold and hostile.
The three death knights condensed their holy Qi and performed a second saint spell.
The death knight who had fallen into the ocean rushed out of the water like a trace of blood-red light. He landed in a fourth direction and condensed his saint spell also.
Meanwhile, Motian Crown Prince pulled out his sword and opened all the apertures on his palm. Holy Qi gushed out and flooded the sword.
Inscriptions kept emerging from the Emperor-kill Demonic Sword, and the force became stronger and stronger. It then hit toward Zhang Ruochen like a trace of light.
The nine blood saints from the immortal vampire race also paid attention to the far-off battlefield while they were taking the valuables from the icebergs.
“Zhang Ruochen is being encircled now, and there’s no way he can get out!” a thin blood saint sneered.
“Even Chi Wansui, who’s leading a large group of great beings from the imperial government, doesn’t dare fight us. Zhang Ruochen is only someone being hunted by the human race. How dare he challenge the entire immortal vampire race.”
“He’s not going to survive it any longer.”
That blood saint looked away and kept taking valuables from the corpses.
The ancient corpse lying on the ice was an elder wearing a golden cape. He looked like a sixty-year-old, but nobody knew how long he’d been dead.
Just as the blood saint tried to reach a jade pendant at the waist of the ancient corpse, the ancient corpse suddenly opened its eyes, and two traces of black light pillars shot the body of the blood saint.
“Ah! The corpse is revived.”
The blood saint yelled in horror, and then, it fell down into the ice-cold ocean. Another ice mountain ascended from the ocean, which sealed the body of that blood saint.
