Chapter 1319: Escape the Death
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
Martial Saint Canglan and the six female saints were all dazed. They all had different facial expressions. They didn’t even believe that the so-called Time and Space Descendant existed before, yet the person standing beside them was indeed Zhang Ruochen.
Which meant they’d been spending days with Zhang Ruochen while Zhang Ruochen was a person wanted by the empress.
“I should’ve guessed it.”
Martial Saint Canglan didn’t know how to react.
She didn’t expect them to be in such opposition. How am I even going to repay the favors?
“Since you’re the Time and Space Descendant, there’s no way we’ll let you go today.”
Although Four Sword Blood Saint and Mifeng Blood Saint had been severely injured, their sense of killing didn’t dwindle. They fully mobilized their holy Qi, performing saint spells against Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen shot a glance at them. He mobilized Divine Fire Jingmie in his lower abdomen, pushed his hands forward, and the blue fires gushed out of his palms, forming a fiery wall.
Divine Fire Jingmie was terrifically powerful. It not only stopped those two heaven pass blood generals from moving forward, but also forced the human saints to retreat.
Boom!
People rushed out of Wuyuan Island to chase them.
Zhang Ruochen kept bleeding as his wound couldn’t be healed, tainting the white cape with red.
After all, Qiu Lanshan was a heaven pass saint. A trace of sword Qi from his sword had penetrated Zhang Ruochen’s body, injuring Zhang Ruochen’s already fragile meridians.
Zhang Ruochen knew that he couldn’t be caught by those saints behind him, otherwise, he would definitely die today.
“Great spatial move.”
Zhang Ruochen clenched his teeth and mobilized the space power, grabbing Qing Mo’s arms and stepping forward. Suddenly, he was more than one hundred miles away, entering a different region.
Xianji Mountain was bizarre. There were lots of remaining formations from the ancient times, so it looked very different from the outside world. Monks weren’t able to sense places that were only a hundred miles away from them.
And then, Zhang Ruochen activated the power of the twelve Buddhist beads to cover his forces while running with Qing Mo.
They only stopped to have a rest after making sure that the enemies didn’t catch up with them.
Zhang Ruochen’s cape was completely red, and his face was pale.
After taking the meridian-connecting pills, his meridians indeed recovered. However, most of his meridians were wounded now. Zhang Ruochen was only using his mind power to persist, otherwise, he would’ve fallen long ago.
“You’re deeply wounded, my lord. You need to take a spring pill now.”
Even Qing Mo could tell that Zhang Ruochen was in critical condition.
Zhang Ruochen was severely ill, and he was about to fall. He took out a spring pill from his space ring and prepared to take it.
“If you want to survive, put down the pill in your hand.”
There came an old sound from the forest.
A blazing fireball rushed to Zhang Ruochen and Qing Mo. The fireball dissipated, and Gu Songzi walked out.
Qing Mo took out her silver kitchen knife, and her eyes popped. She said, “If you dare come near us, I, I’ll slay you.”
Gu Songzi knew the power of the silver kitchen knife held by Qing Mo. Both Kongqian Blood Saint and Miefeng Blood Saint were defeated by her, so he was indeed intimidated by that girl. If she was really that impulsive, she might actually attack him.
“Calm down, calm down. We’re friends, not foes.” Gu Songzi tried to placate Qing Mo.
Qing Mo’s silver kitchen knife was gleaming. She asked, “If you really are a friend, why would you stop my lord from taking the pill?”
Gu Songzi said, “The meridian-connecting pill only healed his meridians for a short while. Actually, his meridians are still very fragile. Qiu Lanshan’s sword crushed most of his meridians. If he took a spring now, he’d die instead of being healed.”
Zhang Ruochen knew his body better than anyone else. After hearing what Gu Songzi said, he put back his spring pill and didn’t try it.
Cough Cough.
Zhang Ruochen dry-coughed and said, “I’ve already got the Thousand Leaves Saint Core Grass. Should you fulfill your promise now?”
“I’ll never break my promise.” Gu Songzi rolled his eyes and said, “However, I’ll only heal you after you give me the Thousand Leaves Saint Core Grass.”
“How dare you? My lord always keeps his promise. He’s already so injured. Why can’t you just heal him first?”
Qing Mo was very irritated. She kept grinding her teeth and wanted to wield the silver kitchen knife.
“Thousand Leaves Saint Core Grass is invaluable. Who would be willing to give that to someone else? If he refused to give it to me after I heal him, then what could I do? I’ve treated many people in my life, and I’ve seen all kinds of people before. Some of them made huge promises before I treated them, but after, they just left. Some of them called me God when they were asking me for help, and then they asked me to kneel before them after,” Gu Songzi said with a cold voice.
Zhang Ruochen had a world inside his body, so he didn’t need saint pills at all. The Thousand Leaves Saint Core Grass was indeed precious, but he didn’t value it that much.
Zhang Ruochen said, “Okay. Take me somewhere safe first, then I’ll give you the Thousand Leaves Saint Core Grass. Let’s not owe each other anything.”
“That’s right, don’t owe each other anything. I’ll stop you from bleeding first.”
Gu Songzi walked to Zhang Ruochen’s front, reached out his wrinkled palm and pressed on his wound.
And then, the sword Qi Qiu Lanshan had left in Zhang Ruochen’s body was extracted by Gu Songzi.
Immediately, the wounds in his chest and back recovered. Even the pain was gone.
Impressive. That old man is indeed cunning and sly, but he’s great at treating people, Zhang Ruochen thought.
Gu Songzi withdrew his palm and looked shocked.
Just as he had treated Zhang Ruochen, he had also checked Zhang Ruochen’s body. There was chaos Qi inside his body. He was just a human being, yet he felt like a creature that had been born when the world was just created.
Bizarre, this is just bizarre.
Just as Gu Songzi was about to ask what had happened to Zhang Ruochen, there came a melodious sound of wind chimes.
Ring Ring.
“Damn it, it’s him!” Gu Songzi was dazed.
Qing Mo was horrified. She looked to Zhang Ruochen, as she had no idea what to do.
Zhang Ruochen was too weak to fight, and his heart sank after hearing the wind chime sound.
However, Zhang Ruochen was still calm. He said, “Let’s get out of here as fast as possible.”
“Get out? Where are you even going?”
A black shadow engulfed in evil death Qi showed up in front of Gu Songzi, Zhang Ruochen and Qing Mo, stepping on the leaves.
The sound of the wind chimes became louder.
There were ten wind chimes in this forest, and they were all giving out jet-black light. There were black threads connecting each of the wind chimes, and there were ninety threads in total, blocking them completely.
A leaf that was falling from the tree was cut in half before it even touched the thread.
The leaf fell on the ground and turned into ashes.
Gu Songzi said, “You outer-realm creatures are finally coming out of the depths of Xianji Mountain?”
“You’ve stayed at the periphery of Xianji Mountain for hundreds of years now. You seem to know a lot. I can’t let you leave alive today.”
The black shadow disappeared suddenly, and then, he showed up right in front of Gu Songzi, reaching his hand toward Gu Songzi’s heart.
Although Gu Songi had been studying pill way, he still had some fighting power.
“Godly Fire.”
A giant engulfed in flames was formed in front of Gu Songzi. It was wearing armor while holding a round shield, clashing with the palm of that black shadow.
Boom!
Both the shield and the giant were crushed by the black shadow, and a palm carrying evil death Qi hit the chest of Gu Songzi.
A cracking sound came from Gu Songzi’s body, and then, a layer of white light dissolved the force of the black shadow.
Although he was knocked away, he wasn’t injured.
Gu Songzi climbed up from the ground and took off his shirt. There were protective runes all over his body, and he had at least hundreds of them.
“Do you really think you can kill me?” Gu Songzi said.
Seeing the protection runes on Gu Songzi, even the black shadow was dazed. He didn’t expect someone could protect himself like this.
He might be exhausted even if he managed to kill him.
Gu Songzi took out a pill bottle and threw it toward the black shadow.
When the pill bottle reached the head of the black shadow, it exploded into golden poison mist, covering him.
The black shadow didn’t try to dodge it, and instead, he smiled. “How laughable it is that you think you can fight Death race with poison mist. Now that I can’t kill you today, I’ll kill Time and Space Descendant so that he won’t be a huge threat to my race in the future.”
“You’re not killing anyone today.”
An elder reeking of alcohol showed up in front of Zhang Ruochen, going through the forbidden area formed by the ten wind chimes. He drank from his wine gourd, completely ignoring the black shadow.
