Chapter 1662: Leave the Forbidden Area
Nie Zhan was incredibly skillful. As he flew toward the spatial crack, he shrunk his body to a blood-red light spot and flapped the blood-red wings on his back, dodging it.
After flying for hundreds of feet, the blood-red light spot released a halo as it bulged again, turning back into a four-wing crimson angel.
Although he reacted to the spatial crack in time, it still gashed his arm, leaving a long bleeding wound. The Psychic Sage’s print also severely injured him, cracking his saint armor and leaving huge marks on his face.
Before Nie Zhan balanced himself, a demonic storm started to sweep toward him.
Inside the storm was an iron hammer the size of a hill, showing up above him. It was so close and fast that he couldn’t manage to dodge it.
Xiang Chunan shouted behind the iron hammer. “Take this!”
Nie Zhan glared at him, took out a rune, pinched it with his fingers and pushed it upward. “Purgatory Rune, sending you all to hell!”
Bang!
The rune exploded, forming sixteen blood-red chains thick as buckets that flew everywhere like sixteen giant iron dragons flying in the sky.
Xiang Chunan hit the sixteen chains with his hammer, and after a huge blast, demonic Qi and blood light gushed out.
“Where did the chains come from? How did they ward off my full-strength strike?” Xiang Chunan was terrified.
Whoosh!
The sixteen blood-red chains formed a giant blood-red sphere with a diameter of one thousand feet, covering Xiang Chunan, Zhang Ruochen and the Psychic Sage, and the blood-red sphere kept shrinking.
Nie Zhan stood under the blood-red sphere and glared at them. “The Purgatory Rune was made by a Rune Way Saint Master, and there’s a trace of great supreme saint power inside. You’ll all die in it!”
The Purgatory Rune was more powerful than Hundred Step No Lives Rune, and it couldn’t even be valued by saint stones. Nie Zhan only had it because he was a four-wing crimson angel, and he used that to fight against enemies he wasn’t capable of defeating on his own.
Nie Zhan was forced to use the Purgatory Rune on Zhang Ruochen and the others, although he felt like it was a waste.
The blood-red sphere now only had a diameter of a hundred feet. It suddenly shook, and one of the chains was broken, and a trace of demonic Qi flew out of the crack.
“How is that possible?”
Nie Zhan couldn’t believe his eyes. He immediately took out a delicate bottle and drank up the blood-red liquid within.
Nie Zhan gazed at the blood-red sphere and held his saint sword tightly. He kept infusing the sword with saint Qi. Suddenly, four layers of saint power rippled on the sword, giving out Four-Yao Complete Power.
Boom!
The demonic metal crown blew up the blood-red sphere, after which Zhang Ruochen, Xiang Chunan and the Psychic Sage got out of the sphere.
Nie Zhan immediately wielded the saint sword in his hand, releasing Four-Yao Complete Power, and the sword Qi dived like a long river, making rumbling sounds.
“Do you really think I can’t crush you? How dare you make an attack again?”
Xiang Chunan wielded the demonic metal crown again, and then, Zhang Ruochen and the Psychic Sage wielded a trace of saint Qi light pillar respectively, infusing them into the demonic crown.
A trace of supreme power rushed out of the demonic crown, piercing through the sword Qi and clashing with the saint sword in Nie Zhan’s hand.
Bang!
The Four-Yao Ten-Thousand Patterns Saint Weaon exploded, turning into pieces.
“You have a supreme saint weapon…”
Nie Zhan was terrified. He didn’t have time to run away, so he had to activate the protection rune on his body.
Bang Bang!
The power from the demonic metal crown destroyed all of the protection reticle on Nie Zhan’s body.
The four-wing crimson angel had a sturdy body, yet it was fragile in front of the supreme power. It kept crumbing.
Nie Zhan yelled, lying on the ground, “You can’t kill me! You can’t! Heaven Field will doom you! Doom you for good if you kill me!”
“Really? I’ll give it a try.”
Zhang Ruochen said, “Don’t kill him here. Put away the demonic crown.”
Xiang Chunan hesitated for a short while. In the end, he put away the demonic metal crown and asked, “Are you really scared of that nonsense Heaven Field, brother?”
Zhang Ruochen said, “Heaven Field will come for me at all costs even if we don’t kill him, but I’ll drag you into my issues if we kill him. I know you don’t mind it, but as your brother, I do.”
Xiang Chunan kept gazing at Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen squatted and said to Nie Zhan, “There should be another monk getting out of the palaces. Where is he?”
Nie Zhan’s body was rugged. He lay on the ground and chuckled, “He’s left this forbidden area. If you dare kill me, Heaven Field will definitely figure out that it’s you guys. I don’t need to tell you the consequence, do I?”
“You’re really arrogant, aren’t you?” Zhang Ruochen said.
Nie Zhan asked, “Shouldn’t I be like that as a four-wing crimson angel from Heaven Field? Ah!”
Zhang Ruochen stepped on Nie Zhan’s head, making a cracking sound.
After a while, Zhang Ruochen stepped away from Nie Zhan and tied him up. “The underground cave leads straight to the forbidden area, so the monks from Heaven Field must’ve occupied this tunnel already. We must leave as soon as possible so that we won’t be stopped by the great beings from Heaven Field.”
Zhang Ruochen and Xiang Chunan left the forbidden area through the underground cave and got back to the saint spring river at the intersection of the Outer South Yard and Outer East Yard.
They hid in the forest and looked at the entry to the cave.
Lots of monks gathered at the river, and many of them were great beings from the angel race. The two four-wing crimson angels stood out among all the angels as the other monks treated them as their leaders.
Zhang Ruochen and Xiang Chunan left instead of staying for long.
The Psychic Sage coughed, following them, and said, “Shouldn’t you give me back the other half of my saint soul?”
Zhang Ruochen shot it a glance and threw it a light ball.
Zhang Ruochen and Xiang Chunan kept walking forward, not caring about the Psychic Sage.
Xiang Chunan asked, “What are you going to do with the saint kings who are suppressed? We can neither kill them nor let them go. Are you really thinking about handing them back to Heaven Field? Then what’s the point in capturing them?”
Zhang Ruochen stroked his chin and said, “How about selling them?”
“Selling them? How? And to who?” Xiang Chunan asked.
Zhang Ruochen said, “The Free Trade Yard should’ve opened already, and most of the monks in the God-Naming Platform Conference have gathered there already. As long as we put them in our booth and give them a price tag, the seniors from Heaven Field will definitely come buy them. This will definitely infuriate Heaven Field thought, so I suggest that you don’t show up!”
“No way. No way. I have to be a part of something so interesting,” Xiang Chunan smiled and said.
The Psychic Sage smiled. “Amazing. Amazing. I also find it very interesting.”
Xiang Chunan yelled, “You old bastard, we’ve already given you back your saint soul. Why are you still here? Do you want to be crushed again?”
The Psychic Sage chuckled. “Because I think you guys can keep your promise, so I decided to team up with you again.”
Zhang Ruochen said, “How?”
“I’ll pick all the Amazing Saint Fruits for you if you get me out of the God-Naming Platform. How about that?” the Psychic Sage said, looking forward to the answer.
Zhang Ruochen said, “Why do you want to leave the God-Naming Platform? It has such an amazing refining environment. Besides, can’t you leave the God-Naming Platform yourself?”
The Psychic Sage sighed and said, “I’ve hit a bottleneck during my practice, so my cultivation hasn’t been improved for hundreds of years. According to the books I read, I have to get into the real world so that I can make a breakthrough and become a supreme saint.”
Xiang Chunan said disdainfully, “What a creep, a sage that wants to get into the real world.”
The Psychic Sage didn’t care about Xiang Chunan. It then said, “Truth Godly Palace has sealed the God-Naming Platform, so none of the creatures can get out. The only way I can do that is by teaming up with you.”
Zhang Ruochen thought for a while and said, “Sure. I can consider helping you leave the God-Naming Platform if you go pick all the Amazing Saint Fruits, but the tunnel has been occupied by the great beings from Heaven Field. How are you going to get back there?”
“Rest assured. I can go anywhere I want in the forbidden area.”
The Psychic Sage didn’t leave after saying that. Instead, it smiled and said, “That fragment of the turtle shell is of no use to you already. Can you return it to me?”
“I was the one who picked up the turtle shell fragment. Why should I return it to you?” Zhang Ruochen said.
The Psychic Sage said, “It was in my Taoist temple the whole time.”
“I didn’t trespass in your temple. I found it in a pile of rocks.”
Zhang Ruochen then smiled and said, “Don’t worry, and go pick the Amazing Saint Fruits now. As for the turtle-shell fragment, I’m not saying I won’t return it to you.”
“Okay. I’ll trust you one more time.”
The Psychic Sage looked gentler and rushed underground like a trace of purple light.
Zhang Ruochen and Xiang Chunan kept walking toward the Free Trade Yard. Xiang Chunan was still kind of worried and said, “There should be some top-tier great beings from Heaven Field on our way. What if they try to attack us or rob us forcefully? My senior mother gave me a token before I left, and she said the token can intimidate our enemies if we can’t defeat them. Do you think I should use it?”
Zhang Ruochen didn’t expect Xiang Chunan to have a trump card like that. It seemed that his senior father and senior mother were both extraordinary beings, so he could rest assured a bit. He said, “No need. Truth Godly Palace has the rule that no monks are allowed to fight in the Free Trade Yard, and there’re ten godly disciples there to enforce the rule. Nobody will do something that reckless.
“Besides, many monks saw that it was the great beings from Heaven Field who attacked us first, which is why we suppressed them. We didn’t kill them, but only prepared them for sale. We’re already showing enough mercy.”
As they talked, they arrived at the door of the Free Trade Yard.
