Chapter 1363: Anyone Who Dares Stop Me, Die
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
There was a mysterious force permeating the outside of the palace. Other monks couldn’t hear what Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yanchen were talking about.
“Why would Zhang Ruochen spit out blood? Did her majesty injure him through the space?”
“Are you an idiot? Her majesty is the great God. She can annihilate Zhang Ruochen with one thought. If it was really her, he would’ve been long dead.”
…
Everyone was discussing as they wondered what Huang Yanchen had said to Zhang Ruochen to make him spit out blood.
At the top of Ziwei Palace were godly clouds. Among the seven-colored godly clouds was the Heavenly Pool.
The Heavenly Pool was thirty miles long and a hundred feet deep, and it was blue.
At the center of the Heavenly Pool was Saint Palace Yuanchu, where Empress Chi Yao lived.
The nine heavenly maidens were standing outside Saint Palace Yuanchu as if they were nine angels. They looked down on the ground at Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yanchen.
They didn’t know what had happened, but they could tell that Zhang Ruochen was being so reckless that he dared offend a God.
Martial Saint Canglan was standing there, wearing fiery armor, engulfed in flames. Her facial expressions kept changing, and then, she made up her mind. She kneeled on the ground in front of Saint Palace Yuanchu and yelled, “Your majesty, Zhang Ruochen isn’t an all-evil guy! He saved me and the six saintesses in Xianji Mountain, and he killed more than ten blood saints, which is enough to make up for everything he did. Please, your majesty, spare his life.”
It was dead silent outside Saint Palace Yuanchu, and everyone was staring at Martial Saint Canglan with empathy. Doesn’t she know that it’s very dangerous to beg for Zhang Ruochen’s life now?
Saint Lady was much calmer than Martial Saint Canglan, so she knew for sure that the thing between Zhang Ruochen and the Empress was personal.
Which meant the Empress might still want to kill him no matter how many contributions Zhang Ruochen had made.
Although she understood that, she still felt pain seeing Zhang Ruochen bleed.
Dong!
Saint Lady kneeled on the ground.
All the heavenly maidens were shocked as they didn’t expect that the intelligent Saint Lady would also lose her chill.
Saint Lady stayed silent for a while. After deciding how to articulate her thoughts, she said, “Your majesty, Zhang Ruochen’s a hero of the human race. We can’t kill him.
“One, Zhang Ruochen went to the netherworld and brought back the stone rune of the Thousand-bone Empress and guarded the Corpse River, stopping billions of ghosts from getting into Kunlun’s Field. He’s the great hero who saved countless lives. If you kill him, everyone will talk.
“Two, Zhang Ruochen not only saved hundreds of thousands of human lives in the Blue Dragon Void World, but crushed savage beasts also. He’s the hero of the human beings, and no God in history would kill the hero of his or her race.
“Three, immortal vampires slaughtered countless when you were gone. Zhang Ruochen gave us ‘Vampire Secrets,’ but also killed many immortal vampires. If we kill him, there’ll be an uproar.”
Other heavenly maidens were all moved by what Saint Lady did, but they also found her too brave. On the surface, she was listing Zhang Ruochen’s contributions, but anyone with a brain could tell that she was threatening the Empress.
The empress was a God, the only God in Kunlun’s Field. Threatening her was just suicidal.
Dong!
Qing Mo’s face and body changed a lot, but she still looked very delicate and timid. She also kneeled on the ground, but she had no idea what to say.
She was Goddess Natty, one of the nine heavenly maidens.
The empress finally opened her mouth. “I couldn’t care less about killing a nobody, but if that nobody is offending me, how could I let him live? If you want to keep kneeling, then do it.”
…
Zhang Ruochen stopped crying and spitting out blood. He became more and more ferocious and said, “Go away. I need to see Chi Yao. I’ll ask her myself.”
Huang Yanchen stood in front of the palace door, shook her head and said, “You can’t see her. Go back.”
Zhang Ruochen squeezed out each word with hostility: “Anyone who dares stop me, die.”
“How dare you trespass in Ziwei Palace?”
A giant being showed up in front of the palace door. He was holding a Qilin Long Spear, stepping on the ground, wearing iron boots.
And then, Chi Wansui showed his face, walking toward Huang Yanchen.
Bei Gonglan, Xue Wuye, Monk Lidi, Ouyang Huan, Sui Han, Gai Tianjiao and another being in black all walked out.
They stood in a straight line in front of Zhang Ruochen. All of them were great human talents.
The one wearing a black robe was tall, holding a black scepter. It was a woman, but nobody had ever seen her real face, which made her the most mysterious heir. Everyone called her ‘Mi Yingzi.’
The heirs would have been invincible in any other era, and each of them had made their own legends. They were able to kill those who were several levels more advanced than them. Although they were kind of outshone by Zhang Ruochen, they were still human legends.
It wasn’t an easy task to see one heir, not to mention all nine of them, which caused a stir in Central Empire City.
“Amitabha! Mr. Zhang, I don’t want to kill anyone today. As long as you don’t trespass in Ziwei Palace today, I’ll spare your life,” Monk Lidi said.
Gai Tianjiao was muscular and masculine. However, while she stared at Zhang Ruochen, she was torn and said, “What kind of personal issues do you have with her majesty? Leave now! I don’t want to fight you.”
Beigong Lan was also a bit torn. She said, “Leave. Don’t force us to fight.”
“Anyone who dares stop me, die.”
Zhang Ruochen only wanted to kill at this moment. He wielded the Abyss Ancient Sword in his hand, and the sword made an ear-piercing sound.
And then, his body started to gleam. Five-colored clouds were formed above his head. He trampled the ground and dashed toward the door of Ziwei Palace.
All the nine heirs, except Ouyang Huan and Huang Yanchen, all wielded their heir stamps.
The seven heir stamps looked like seven jade-made mountains, releasing Emperor Qi, forming a huge empress shadow, crushing toward Zhang Ruochen.
After seeing Chi Yao, Zhang Ruochen couldn’t be angrier. He wielded his sword.
Boom!
The seven empress reflections were all destroyed, and the seven heirs all bounced away, hitting the wall.
They were not Zhang Ruochen’s match.
Chi Wansui kneeled on the ground, covering his chest, staring at Zhang Ruochen in horror and saying, “How strong…”
Whoosh!
Nine traces of seven-colored godly light flew out of Saint Palace Yuanchu, and they went into the bodies of the nine heirs.
Their cultivation surged, reaching Zhang Ruochen’s level.
Chi Wansui stood up again and vanished from the ground. When he showed up again, he was already right in front of Zhang Ruochen, wielding his Qilin Long Spear.
Howl!
A phantom of Qilin that was more than one hundred feet long emerged, dashing toward Zhang Ruochen, followed by a deafening sound.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t stop marching forward. He clashed with the phantom with his own body. He held his sword in his right hand and clenched his left hand, confronting the Qilin Long Spear directly.
Boom!
Zhang Ruochen held the Qilin Long Spear with his arm.
Chi Wansui was shocked. Just as he tried to step back, he saw Zhang Ruochen wielding his sword toward his head. It was too late for him to dodge it, so he could only try and protect his head.
Clack!
Zhang Ruochen slashed Chi Wansui’s right shoulder with the Abyss Ancient Sword, cutting his collarbone and four of his ribs. It was stopped only when it reached his chest.
It wasn’t that Zhang Ruochen didn’t want to cut Chi Wansui in half, but that he was stopped by Beigong Lan.
Zhang Ruochen shot a glare at Bei Gonglan. He let his Abyss Ancient Sword go and opened his hand and the seven apertures on his palm, forming a blood-red cloud, hitting toward her.
Beigong Lan was dazed. She retracted her saint sword and stabbed Zhang Ruochen’s palm.
Even so, she didn’t force Zhang Ruochen away.
Zhang Ruochen’s palm was pierced through by her saint weapon, yet he acted like he didn’t even feel the pain. He slapped down along the sword.
“You…”
Beigong Lan didn’t expect Zhan Ruochen to be that ruthless against her.
Boom!
Zhang Ruochen slapped Beigong Lan to the ground and made her bleed everywhere. She could stand up no more.
Zhang Ruochen then raised his palm and hit Chi Wansui’s head, crushing half his head and making him bounce away, hitting the city wall.
Zhang Ruochen kept marching forward.
Ring!
Xue Wuye showed up in front of Zhang Ruochen out of nowhere, and before his body emerged, a gleaming saint weapon reached the spot first, and thousands of traces of sword Qi became concentrated at one point.
The sword moved faster than the person.
