Chapter 1688: You Really Are Zhang Ruochen

Bang.
An explosion occurred as the sword clashed with the palm.
From the dust, one could see that Blue Fang was knocked back.
Yuwen Jing used a soft palm technique to support Blue Fang and cushioned the blow and said, “The opponent has a Saint King level assassin puppet. He is not a simple enemy to fight. Do you need my help?”
“No.”
The sharp teeth in his mouth were exposed as he excitedly continued, “After breaking through to third-step Saint King, I have yet to get accustomed to my power. With the help of this battle, I can test the extent of my power.”
“To be able to knock me, Blue Fang, back, you must not be some random passerby. I am guessing you are a Heavenly King Killer from the Heavenly Assasination Organization.”
Zhang Ruochen stood upright with his sword held horizontally before him, and said, “If you can withstand ten hits from me, I will tell you my real name.”
“You are really cocky. To tell you the truth, I only used 50% of my strength just now. If I do my best, you may not be able to block me,” said Blue Fang.
Zhang Ruochen replied, “Really? But I only used 30% of my strength.”
“Ignorant fool.” There were thousands of words that glowed with saintly light on Blue Fang’s golden holy armor. The aura of the whole person became extremely fierce. “Void Smelting Palm!”
Threads of Divine Fire Jingmie and three hundred Rules of Palm Play converged to his right palm.
All of a sudden, the whole Tao Garden was filled with the crackling sounds of flames.
What was used by Blue Fang was a mid-level saint spell for the palms. Its power was quite amazing. Even though the palm seal hadn’t been established, the flame under his feet had already spread to Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t intend to use the power of time and space. He wanted to try and defeat a top tier genius with just his Sword Way.
At the same time, he also wanted to get accustomed to the greatly increased strength within his body.
Zhang Ruochen raised the sword over his head, and the powerful sword intent came out of his body. Then, a ten-foot-long ‘eight trigrams’ mark appeared at his feet. Within the area, sword Qi ran rampant.
“Sword Eight, Heaven Sword.”
The Holy Qi in the surroundings converged to the eight trigrams seal, and transformed into a layer of Sword Way Xuangang, which condensed on the heavy sword in Zhang Ruochen’s hand.
Whoosh!
Xuangang was unbreakable.
With a flick of the heavy sword, he broke the palm power of Blue Fang and bombarded his knuckles, culminating in a huge explosion.
Seeing Zhang Ruochen condensing the Sword Way Xuangang, Blue Fang knew that the opponent was more powerful than he’d expected, so he pushed himself to the limit and forced himself to stand against the blow. However, even so, the falling of the heavy sword still made his arm numb and he fell back.
His fist set was a Ten-thousand-pattern Saint Weapon, which blocked the Sword Way Xuangang and was not shattered by the force.
Zhang Ruochen’s sword skills had reached the level of mastery long ago. The eight trigrams under his feet rotated, and the second sword attacked. “Earth Sword.”
This was a piercing technique, and it made a swift beeline to Blue Fang’s forehead.
Since Zhang Ruochen used sword eight, the sword moves he used would be influenced by the Eight Records of the Saint Sword by Sword Saint Xuanji. He divided Sword Eight into eight trigrams.
Blue Fang knew the power of Sword Eight and Sword Way Xuangang. Instead of flying head on, he used a body technique saint spell, the Flying Shadow of the Fire Peng, which included rules of speed, flying, fire, and lightning.
Whoosh!
On the back of Blue Fang, a pair of flaming Peng wings appeared. With a flash, he disappeared and re-appeared behind Zhang Ruochen.
The speed was like teleportation.
Zhang Ruochen’s sword was a little slower, only hitting the silhouette of Blue Fang.
“Mid-level Saint spell of the physical technique.” Zhang Ruochen felt it was a little inconceivable.
It was not easy to master a mid-level saint spell.
It was more difficult if it was a physical technique.
Moreover, the physical technique used by Blue Fang integrated many kinds of rules. It was obvious that the spell used was not an ordinary Mid-level Saint Spell and was pretty advanced even among Mid-level Saint Spells.
That could make a huge difference.
“Hehehe.”
Blue Fang stood three feet from the ground with a grim smile. Once again, he sped up to a shocking speed, and he used the Void-Smelting Palm again. This palm spell was not only integrated with the rules of the Saintly Way, but was also imbued with a large number of Rules of Truth.
This gave him four times his usual palm power.
The attainments of Blue Fang in the Way of Truth were far beyond Zhang Ruochen’s.
At this stage, Zhang Ruochen could only boost the Saint Spells to be twice as powerful.
Zhang Ruochen had never practiced any physical techniques of the Mid-level Saint Spell, thus his speed was not as fast as that of Blue Fang, but his nerve reaction speed was extremely fast. When the Blue Fang appeared, he attacked with a backhanded stroke of his sword. “Thunder Sword.”
For this attack, Zhang Ruochen also used more than 200 Rules of Truth in his body to integrate into the sword technique, while the Sword Way Xuangang condensed into layers of waves and collided with the attack from Blue Fang.
As every layer of Sword Way Xuangang collided with the Palm Seal, the power of Blue Fang’s attack was reduced.
When all Sword Way Xuangang had been smashed, Zhang Ruochen’s heavy sword finally collided with the palm of the Blue Fang. However, the edge of the sword swept on the wrist of Blue Fang, with sparks flying everywhere from the friction.
With that carefully placed technique, Blue Fang’s fist was diverted from its course, but now the tip of the sword pointed at Blue Fang’s forehead again.
Blue Fang’s face changed, and he used his physical technique again. The figure of the Fire Peng dashed into the distance.
Ten feet away, a deep cut appeared on the cheek of Blue Fang, showing the white cheekbones, with his Saint blood dripping down, like bright petals on the ground.
“How could this be…” Bleu Fang found it unbelievable.
His opponent, no matter whether it was in speed or in the cultivation of the Way of Truth, was weaker than him. However, he was hurt before his opponent.
How could this man’s use of force be so efficient?
Zhang Ruochen looked at the Saint blood on the heavy sword, and quietly sighed. “Unfortunately, if the sword in my hand was the Abyss Ancient Sword, that would not have left just a sword mark on his face”
Only with the Abyss Ancient Sword could Zhang Ruochen perfectly perform his sword moves and exert the most powerful sword techniques.
This heavy sword in his hand was still not very familiar to him.
Yu Wenjing stopped and didn’t immediately collect the two Absolute Complete Fruits left on the sacred tree, and stared at Zhang Ruochen and Blue Fang.
He could see that the cultivation of the Killer Heavenly King was not much higher than that of Blue Fang, but this person could still suppress the Blue Fang easily, which was really strange.
Yu Wenjing said, “Within the Truth Heavenly Domain, living beings that could suppress you are already rare. Moreover, this person’s cultivation of the Way of Truth is only mediocre. There could at most be three people that fit such characteristics.”
Blue Fang thought a bit, and looked at the Killer Heavenly King in the opposite direction again, his pupils suddenly shrank. “This guy…could he be Zhang Ruochen?”
“Not impossible.”
Yu Wenjing went up to Blue Fang. With a single palm gesture, twelve divine bones flew out and were sent towards the twelve directions around the Tao Garden. Each divine bone then released light, and the space around the region was fortified.
This was just in case.
If that Killer Heavenly King was really Zhang Ruochen, it was important that they guard against his spatial attacks.
A Godly disciple and a genius of Yin Yang Field. They are really extraordinary people to have so quickly guessed my identity, Zhang Ruochen thought.
Seeing that the person did not deny his guess, Blue Fang was more confident that he guessed right. He said, “No matter whether you are Zhang Ruochen or not, people like you shouldn’t live in the world.”
Boom!
Glyphs flew out again from his Saint Armor, and surrounded him, giving him an impenetrable defense.
At the same time, these released a lot of power, which converged upon Blue Fang, buffing his aura.
“Die!”
The body of Blue Fang was wrapped up like a Giant made of glyphs and characters. He raised a big palm, and pressed down toward Zhang Ruochen’s head. That holy armor was extraordinary. It increased the cultivation of Blue Fang to a rather terrifying level.
The Amazing Little Taoist felt that Zhang Ruochen could not resist this attack, and asked, “Do you need help?”
“I can still handle this much.”
Zhang Ruochen stood proudly, looked up at the big hand, and said, “The additional power granted by this armor is more than that of the Hundred Saint Blood Armor. Your Word Armor is a pretty good treasure.”
The holy Qi and Mysteries of Truth in Zhang Ruochen’s body converged to his Fire God Fist armor.
Immediately, the fist armor sent out a raging fire. The fire wrapped around the heavy sword, which was then integrated with Sword Way Xuangang. Then with a powerful stroke, he slashed forth.
Boom.
Thousands of Words burst open, and the body of the word giant collapsed. A huge and boundless force rushed out in all directions.
In Tao Garden, the havoc was as if a tornado had just started.
Two assassin puppets were shook and flew out straight into the walls of the Tao Garden.
Even with Yuwen Jing’s cultivation, he was sent stepping backwards, and could only resist after using the twelve divine bones.
When Blue Fang fell to the ground, the bones in his body were broken. Unable to stand up, he shivered and howled angrily, “It’s you! It’s you, Zhang Ruochen… ”
In the Ocean of Truth, Blue Fang had seen Zhang Ruochen use the power of the Fire God Armor, and now recognized him.
“Still not dead?”
Zhang Ruochen frowned.
Even his sword, which was a three-yao ten-thousand-pattern saint weapon, had been broken in the attack, and was only left with a hilt. It was easy to see, then, how powerful that attack was.
That was the power formed when the Mysteries of Truth and Fire God Armor were combined.
When Zhang Ruochen saw the flow of the Divine Patterns on Blue Fang, he suddenly understood. “I see, it turns out that you have the Divine Patterns on your body. Seems like you are an offspring that a God attached great importance to.”
Gods had a long life and would have many offspring, possibly tens of thousands of them.
And for Gods, each time they secluded themselves for refining, it would take hundreds, if not thousands of years. Thus, even their children would rarely see the gods.
Only the offspring that the God attached great importance to could have the body protection of the Divine Patterns.
It was obviously not easy to kill an offspring of a God who had the protection of the Divine Patterns. Moreover, if a normal descendant died, a God would rarely get angry. He would at most instruct his subordinates to deal with the culprit.
But if you killed an offspring with the Divine Pattern, the consequences would be serious.
Zhang Ruochen lightly commented, “It seems that only by using spatial powers could I kill you.”
If you changed Zhang Ruochen to anyone else, Blue Fang would only scoff at their bravado. But this was the real Zhang Ruochen. What did he not dare to do?
“Zhang Ruochen, this is the God-Naming Platform, and in front of a godly disciple, you still dare to kill openly?” Yu Wenjing shouted coldy.
Zhang Ruochen said, “You, as a disciple of the divine family, didn’t say such solemn words just now when Blue Fang was going to kill me.”
Yu Wenjing went speechless for a moment, then his eyes squinted. He didn’t want to try to talk with Zhang Ruochen again and threatened, “I have used twelve divine bones to fortify the space. Can you even use the power of space?”
