Chapter 1692: Meeting Tianchu
As the formation lost the energy source, the white rabbit was no longer imprisoned. Its pair of eyes looked around briefly for any further threats, before dashing off as a white light.
Zhang Ruochen’s response was extremely quick. At the very moment that the Amazing Little Taoist was flung away, he made the accurate judgement and jumped onto the rabbit’s back.
No matter what, he could not let the Saint Jade Emperor escape.
King Flame seemed to be ecstatic and he dashed to Amazing Little Taoist with both of his arms outstretched, his eyes expressing unimaginable joy.
A single Hundred-thousand year saint plant, if he was to eat it, he could immediately be one of the strongest among Truth Heavenly Domain. It could also be possible that he could cross the Sixth Layer of the Sea Domain.
As long as he crossed that, he would be granted 32 months of time to refine his cultivation in the Truth Godly Palace. After that, how many people below the cultivation of Supreme Saint could actually match him?
The more he thought about it, King Flame got happier, and even his blood seemed to be boiling.
It seemed like the Hundred-thousand Years Medicine Plant was just about to fall into his hands.
Suddenly, the space shook, and the object of his dreams disappeared.
For King Flame, it was as though he fell from heaven to hell.
Being briefly stunned, he was enraged, and stared at the man standing on top of the white rabbit, and roared, “Spatial Cultivator! Use the Divine Bones and block him and the Saint Jade Emperor!”
When King Flame was fighting with Amazing Little Taoist, Queen Ling had already taken action. Controlling the eight pieces of Divine Bones, she wanted to suppress the Jade white rabbit again.
Unfortunately, the rabbit’s speed was extremely fast. In just a blink of the eye, it had already dashed out of the ruins, and escaped the Tao Garden. It was running on the Bloodearth Field outside.
Sitting on it, Zhang Ruochen felt as though he was going to be flung out, and quickly took out a Ten-thousand Pattern Saint Weapon and used it to leash the Jade-white rabbit. Only then he was about to secure his body.
“Is this the Supreme Saint level of speed? It is faster than my fastest speed by seven to eight times. With such speeds, even if I use teleportation it would be useless to escape from this.”
One thing to note was that this rabbit was merely running based on instincts. It had not practiced any form of spells. Else, the speed it would display would be even faster.
Facing the likes of King Flame and Queen Ling, Zhang Ruochen did not dare to use the likes of Time and Space Secret Guide.
They were very experienced in fighting, and are always on high alert. With their supreme reflexes, they would be quickly able to escape from the area covered by the Time and Space Secret Guide. If he was to be unable to lock them down, not only Zhang Ruochen would expose one of his Trump cards, he would land himself in a situation where he would find it difficult to fight back.
After all, King Flame and Queen Ling had cultivation levels much higher than himself.
“Amazing, Amazing.”
Zhang Ruochen tried to call for the Amazing Little Taoist, but received no reply.
Unfortunately, he did not understand the Saint Medicine’s body, so he could not check for its situation.
Talking about which, he still had some kind of friendship with Amazing Little Taoist, so he would naturally be quite worried that the spirit had already been destroyed by King Flame.
Zhang Ruochen took out a small bottle of the Spring of Life, and after some hesitation, he poured it over the Amazing Little Taoist.
That Spring of Life was taken from the bottom of the Divine Sky-connecting Tree, and Zhang Ruochen was only able to collect such a small bottle.
After being given the Spring of Life, Amazing Little Taoist’s presence seemed to be a bit stronger. The cracks on his body glowed white and seemed to be healing.
“Hopefully, he could still wake up.”
Suddenly a gust of wind that seemed to be hot and cold at the same time blew towards him. That made his face change, and quickly he stuffed Amazing Little Taoist into a pocket, and turned around.
King Flame and Queen Ling were actually running towards him.
“How could this be? Their speed could actually match that of a Supreme Saint?” Zhang Ruochen found it hard to believe.
King Flame and Queen Ling had Fleeting Light Rune Scrolls that were made by a Supreme Saint level Rune Scrolls Saint Master. That was originally for them to run for their lives if something goes wrong, but they had no choice but to use it to obtain the Hundred-thousand Saint Plant and Saint Jade Emperor.
Within the Fleeting Light Rune Scrolls, there were not only Rune Scrolls Inscriptions, there were also the power of a Supreme Saint and the Rules of the Way of the Fleeting Light.
“You can’t run away. If you surrender, perhaps we would leave you alive.” Queen Ling’s voice entered Zhang Ruochen’s ears.
With their speeds, they had already broken the sound barrier, so naturally Queen Ling had transmitted that voice spiritually.
As a reply, Zhang Ruochen took out his Clear Sky Bow, and Shining Sun Arrow, and shot towards them.
Queen Ling and King Flame’s face changed, and quickly took evasive maneuvers.
With just that, the distance between them got pulled apart again.
King Flame’s face was black, and shouted, “Yin Yang Life and Death Formation!”
With all of King Flame and Queen Ling’s power, the eight pieces of divine bones flew out and formed a spinning circle in the sky. With a speed that was even faster than the Fleeting Light Rune Scroll, the bones flew towards Zhang Ruochen.
As the Yin Yang Life and Death Formation spinning, even the sky seemed to be spinning with it. Sometimes it was day, sometimes it was night, with howling wind and constant Thunder and Lightning. It almost caught up to Zhang Ruochen.
However, at this moment, the rabbit finally reached the edge of the Bloodearth Plains, and a towering mountain appeared in front of them.
A part of that mountain seemed to be encased by darkness, and from within that darkness, one could catch an occasional glimpse of lightning. It was like hell.
As for the other part that was in the light, there were many palaces and buildings, with light shining into the heavens and Saintly Qi overflowing. It gave a feeling of divine holiness.
Zhang Ruochen’s face lit up, as his hand grabbed even tighter on the chains trying to control the rabbit to run towards the mountain.
If he entered there, perhaps he could rid himself King Flame and Queen Ling’s pursuit.
At this moment, a familiar voice that was exceedingly melodic and pleasing sounded, and cautioned him, “Careful, that is a very dangerous ancient ruin. There were inscriptions of the ancient gods there. If you were to rush into it recklessly you would surely die.”
At the bottom of the mountain, in a rainbow colored sea, there was a Saint Carriage.
In front of the carriage, there were eight white feathered Peacocks standing in formation. Every of them were pristine white, glowing with an aura of holiness.
That was Fairy Tianchu’s carriage.
Zhang Ruochen quickly thought about it, and used the Time and Space Secret Guide to keep the Rabbit. After which, he dashed to the white peacock carriage, and said, “Fairy, King Flame and Queen Ling want to kill me. Help me, and I will help you to collect the Holy Spring.”
In a flash, the Yin Yang Life and Death Formation had already flown atop Zhang Ruochen and was about to suppress him. The soil below was being blown away by the howling gusts created by the pressure.
In the Saint Carriage, Fairy Tianchu’s voice sounded again, “Peacock Spread.”
The eight Peacocks on the ground flew up together, and spread their tails and each sending out a massive wave of energy that clashed with the Yin Yang Life and Death Formation.
One must understand that White Peacock Saint Carriage was actually an Eight-Yao Ten-thousand Pattern Saint Weapon. Moreover, when the user was someone as powerful as Fairy Tianchu, it was unimaginable how powerful the attack would be.
Standing on the ground, Zhang Ruochen looked up at the eight Peacocks that were each the size of a small mountain, with countless inscriptions appearing on their bodies.
“Boom!”
The clash between the eight divine bones and the eight peacocks lasted only about one breath.
The result was that the Yin Yang Life and Death Formation was shattered, and the eight divine bones were sent flying away.
At this moment, King Flame and Queen Ling caught up, and stopped about 7-8 miles away to collect the Divine Bones.
Seeing the White Peacock Saint Carriage, they frowned.
King Flame stated, “That human guy is my prey. Fairy won’t offend me and Queen Ling just because of someone like him, right?”
From the carriage, Fairy’s voice replied, “He is a member of the Ancient Civilization Sect. Since I am here, of course I would protect him. Please don’t make matters difficult for me. Maybe you could let him off?”
If it was any other issue, King Flame perhaps would have really let this matter go. Even disregarding her own cultivation level, there were a few who matched his abilities among her admirers.
However, that human had both the Saint Jade Emperor and the Hundred-thousand Year Saint Medicine Plant. Furthermore, they already already used a piece of the Fleeting Light Runic Scrolls. All things considered, how could they let this matter go just because of a single sentence by Fairy Tianchu?
King Flame growled, “That human is something that the two of us will definitely kill no matter what. Please consider this seriously, such that you would not end up making two powerful enemies.”
Queen Ling was a bit more relaxed, as she smiled, and said, “We do not want to make enemies out of Fairy, but as long as you do not interfere, how about we owe you a favor?”
Zhang Ruochen stood not far away from the white Peacock Carriage, and felt a bit worried. After all, he had never been too close to the Fairy, yet King Flame and Queen Ling were powerful foes. For all he knew, Fairy Tianchu might succumb to pressure and let him fend for himself.
Releasing his spiritual power, he started to look for a path out in the direction of the mountain.
As long as the situation turned for the worse, he would immediately make a run for the ancient mountains. Even if there were inscriptions left by the Ancient Gods, it would probably be better than facing King Flame and Queen Ling.
After being quiet for a short while, Fairy Tianchu’s voice sounded from within the carriage, “Since we could not compromise, then let’s battle.”
King Flame frowned deeply, and looked at Queen Ling.
Following which, they dashed out together, but in different directions.
From within King Flame’s bodies came nine different types of flames, turning the area around into a sea of flames. A gigantic flame demon with two horns on the head appeared, and using its twenty meter long fist, he smashed towards the white Peacock Carriage.
Queen Ling, on the other hand, dashed out at high speed, and wanted to suppress Zhang Ruochen with the eight pieces of divine bones.
“Boom!”
Before even reaching Zhang Ruochen, she heard an explosion behind her.
The gigantic flame demon was defeated and shattered by a single gust of energy coming from within the Peacock Carriage, and turned into a rain of flames. Even King Flame was sent flying ten miles away.
Queen Ling was utterly shocked, as she had not expected that King Flame would be defeated so quickly.
“Whoosh!”
An extremely thin thread of white light flew out from within the Saint Carriage, and extended for about thirty feet forming circles of light, and quickly approached Queen Ling.
“Rain Thread Divine Sword!”
Recognizing the source of that thread of light, Queen Ling’s face turned solemn.
She had no choice but to abandon catching Zhang Ruochen, and using a Physical Technique that was on the level of a Mid-level Saint Spell, she turned into dozens of beautiful figures that all dodged away from the white threads of light.
Even then, after dodging about ten times, the thread caught her by the waist and threw her out.
Falling on the ground, she quickly checked that she was not cut into half by the thread, heaved a sigh of relief.
