Chapter 2408: Ambushed

Pan Ruo’s cultivation in the Path of Destiny was profound. With the Door of Trueself, she could infer the secrets of all the immortal vampires. She could even track Zhang Ruochen.

Hence, Zhang Ruochen would want to capture her.

Whoosh!

Zhang Ruochen spread his ten wings and flew through the branches.

The Deathkin Supreme Saints had long been left behind.

Yan Wushen chased after Zhang Ruochen for a while, but he was also left far behind.

Only Que cast a Flowing light Technique. He was faster than Zhang Ruochen. He chased after him and attacked him with Kagemaru from time to time.

Zhang Ruochen didn’t dare to stay. He was afraid that he would be surrounded by enemies.

If it was only a few immortal and Hundred-Shackle Supreme Saints surrounding him, Zhang Ruochen wouldn’t be afraid. But if there were powerful figures like Yan Wushen and Que among the Neverwilt and Hundred-Shackle Supreme Saints, he would be in big trouble.

Boom! Boom!

The Pleiades Lotus floated behind Zhang Ruochen and clashed fiercely with Kagemaru coming from behind.

The Sword Qi and Supreme Power clashed, creating balls of brilliant energy light clouds.

‘I have to fly out of the Albajade Tree as soon as possible. Once I get out, my Dimensional cultivation techniques will be of great use. Que won’t be able to catch up to me!’

A thought flashed in Zhang Ruochen’s mind.

Suddenly, hundreds of powerful energy waves appeared in front of him. They surged from all directions.

The moment the Yanluo Clan’s Supreme Saints received a message from Yan Wushen, they regained their fighting spirit. They gathered all the Supreme Saints of their clan to surround Zhang Ruochen, wanting to fight one last time to win first place in the Celestial-Hunting battle.

“Leave Zhang Ruochen behind and exterminate the Immortal Vampires.

“Yanluo Clan still has a chance. This is a desperate battle. They’ll do whatever it takes to cut the Immortal Vampires’ points by half.

“Fight! Fight until everything turns into chaos. Die with no regret!”

...

Hundreds of Supreme Saints of the Yanluo Clan were filled with fighting spirit. They charged toward Zhang Ruochen like a tide.

Zhang Ruochen flew and shouted, “Retreat or die!”

“Hell no! We’ll fight even if we have to die.”

The Supreme Saint’s voice came from all directions.

The Yanluo Clan’s Supreme Saint army stayed united. Every single of them was determined to win first place among the ten clans, even if it would cost their lives.

The only pity was that time was too short. Zhang Ruochen was too fast, and Yanluo Clan lacked the leadership of a top elite. They couldn’t form a joint attack formation.

Zhang Ruochen’s eyes were cold. He put his hands together.

Marks of Time in the form of light spots appeared one by one. They wrapped around his body, forming into the shape of a bell.

“Chime,”

Zhang Ruochen shouted.

The Bell of Time rang. Marks of Time and sound waves surged out like a tsunami. They hit the Supreme Saints of the Yanluo Clan.

BONG!

BONG!

... ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ Novᴇ(l)Fɪre.net

The bell chimed again and again. More and more Yanluo Supreme Saints were sent flying.

Not only were they hit by the sound waves, but their lifespans were also cut off by the Marks of Time.

Que slowed down his pursuit and held up the Mirror of Oblivion to resist the attack from the Marks of Time. He was shocked as he thought, ‘Zhang Ruochen has suffered the backlash of the Saintwill power. His internal injuries are serious, yet he can execute such a powerful Time Technique continuously? Isn’t he afraid of suffering another backlash from Time?’

In the past, he had thought that with Zhang Ruochen’s attainment in the Path of Time, Zhang Ruochen would be considered amazing if he could chime the bell three times in a row.

But now, the time bell rang five times in a row.

It must be known that every time the time bell rang, it would be strongly impacted by the time saint phase. If he used it too much, the time saint phase would shatter. ????????nr????????d. ????????????

The Bell of Time rang five times, sending countless Yanluo Clan Supreme Saints flying and weakening them.

However, these Yanluo Supreme Saints still charged at him as if they didn’t care about their lives.

“Stay out of my way or die!”

Zhang Ruochen’s body spun rapidly. He activated Divine Purification Flame in his body. It became a flaming tornado in corn shape.

The ten golden wings were like ten sharp blades, slashing away all the Yanluo Supreme Saints that approached him.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Some of the Yanluo Supreme Saints were slashed by the golden wings. Their bodies were torn apart, and blood splattered everywhere. Some exploded, turning into a cloud of blood mist. Some caught fire once they contacted Zhang Ruochen’s Divine Purification Flame.

In a few seconds, Zhang Ruochen broke through the siege line formed by the Yanluo Supreme Saints and flew out.

Behind him, there were dozens of severely injured Yanluo Supreme Saints. Countless Supreme Saints had contacted the Divine Purification Flame. Some of them had even died. Their bodies and souls had been destroyed.

Zhang Ruochen seemed mighty and powerful. He killed hundreds of Yanluo Supreme Saints easily. But his injuries had actually gotten worse. He spat out a mouthful of blood as soon as he got out.

If given other circumstances, he would not have fought against hundreds of Supreme Saints head-on.

Fortunately, he had chased almost all the Yanluo Clan’s top elites, Array Masters, and Talisman Masters out of the battlefield. If a Hundred-Shackle Supreme Saint as powerful as The Eight Sons of Life and Death had appeared and blocked one or two of his attacks, he would have suffered dire consequences.

Swoosh!

Zhang Ruochen flew out of the Albajade Tree and saw Lady Wind and the Immortal Vampire Supreme Saint army.

Seeing that Zhang Ruochen had escaped, all the Immortal Vampire Supreme Saints were overjoyed. They looked at Zhang Ruochen with respect.

It was because of Zhang Ruochen that they felt for the first time how great the Immortal Vampires were. They could be even stronger than Yanluo Clan.

Killing Lord Hornless had made Zhang Ruochen gain the most crucial 30 million points. It had pushed Zhang Ruochen’s reputation among the Immortal Vampires to the peak.

Although Zhang Ruochen was injured, he was like an unsurpassable divine peak in their eyes.

“Supreme Saint Ruochen, we will fight along with you,” shouted hundreds of Immortal Vampires at the same time.

Zhang Ruochen sensed that a large group of Supreme Saints of the Deathkin and Yanluo Clan had caught up with him. He ordered, “I must leave immediately. Find a safe place to hide and protect the remaining members of the Immortal Vampires.”

Since there were a large number of powerful figures of the Immortal Vampires, Zhang Ruochen didn’t want to continue fighting to the death. He didn’t want to hurt the foundation of his Saintwill either. Finding a place to control the injuries in his body was the priority.

Zhang Ruochen was confident that with his cultivation in the Path of Dimension and Thirty-six Formless Transmogrification, no one would be able to find him in a short time as long as he lay low.

Lady Wind’s face was delicate and beautiful. Holding the blood-red Sword of Asura, she said, “Don’t worry. The Immortal Vampire Supreme Saints and I will try our best to stop them.”

After defeating Xi, Lady Wind was full of confidence and fighting spirits.

If nothing unexpected happened, the position of the Scioness of Destiny would be hers.

Zhang Ruochen reached out his right hand and pressed forward.

Crash!

A dimensional wormhole mirror was formed.

He was about to cross a space through the mirror.

Suddenly, a blood-red sword light with fierce Qi of Slaughter cut through the dimensional wormhole mirror. The sword light aimed at Zhang Ruochen’s neck.

The dimensional wormhole mirror was less than three meters away from Zhang Ruochen.

The sword strike was so fast that even a Banshi Isshou Supreme Saint could not dodge it, let alone Zhang Ruochen.

“Die!”

The sword light slashed past, separating Zhang Ruochen’s head from his neck.

The Immortal Vampire Supreme Saints did not expect such a turn of events. The sight of it caused an uproar among them.

Most of their eyes looked in Lady Wind’s direction.

Her hands were covered in blood.

The Sword of Asura in her hands had broken free from her grip and flew out, cutting off Zhang Ruochen’s neck.

Lan Ying, who looked like a child, flew out of the Sword of Asura. He let out a grating laugh. “Zhang Ruochen, you’ve been in the limelight on the Celestial-Hunting battlefield. You’ve fought intense battles, defeated one elite after another, snatched the Emperor Grade Saintwill Pill, banished Yan Huangtu and Wu Jiang from the battlefield, and even cultivated an incredible Saintwill. “But all your fruits of battle will eventually become mine .”

“What you think you are doing, Lan Ying?” Lady Wind asked in a stern voice.

Lan Ying glanced at her and smiled. “Our cooperation is to deal with Yanluo Clan together and help you gain the position of Scioness. Don’t worry, I’ll agree to both. But how to deal with Zhang Ruochen is not within the terms of our deal.”

“Did you use me?” Lady Wind asked. “You used me to approach Zhang Ruochen and kill him with a sword when he was defenseless.”

“I just want to devour Zhang Ruochen and take the Saintwill pill from him. If I refine him, I might be able to have the Grade Two Saintwill without practicing.

“Lady Wind, our deal remains. I can help the Immortal Vampires resist Yanluo Clan’s attack and win the top place among ten clans.

“So Supreme Saints of Immortal Vampires, you’d better restrain your emotions and think about what’s best for you.

“If you attack me now to avenge Zhang Ruochen’s death, you’ll make another great enemy.

“Why don’t you take a step back?

“Taking a step back is good for all of us.”

“If you fight me to death, Yanluo Clan will be the one who wins in the end.

“It’s not worth it to fight for Zhang Ruochen, who is already dead. From now on, I will take over Zhang Ruochen’s position and lead the Immortal Vampires to the top place among the ten clans.”

The Celestial-Hunting battle had made the Supreme Saints of the Immortal Vampires accept Zhang Ruochen, and many of them admired him and regarded him as their goal.

However, Zhang Ruochen had once been a member of the Celestial Court and had killed countless Immortal Vampires.

There was a wall between them, and it wasn’t something that could be broken in a short time. It was even harder for them to become comrades willing to fight side-by-side till the end.

When Zhang Ruochen was alive, they respected him and were willing to follow his orders from the bottom of their hearts.

But now that Zhang Ruochen was dead, it was unrealistic to risk their lives to avenge him. Their relationship had not reached that stage yet.

Among the Supreme Saints of the Immortal Vampires, only Lord Xia Yu might do that.

All the Supreme Saints of the Immortal Vampires glared at Lan Ying with blood-red eyes, but they did not step out in the end. Some were afraid of Lan Ying’s strength, and some were concerned about the interests of the Immortal Vampires.

Seeing this, Lan Ying laughed loudly and flew toward Zhang Ruochen’s head with the Sword of Asura in his hand. He opened his mouth, which had turned into mist, and was about to swallow it into his stomach and refine it directly.

Something strange happened. Zhang Ruochen’s floating head suddenly regained its spirit.

“Oh no, Zhang Ruochen is not dead.”

Sensing that something was wrong, Lan Ying retreated quickly.

However, it was too late. Zhang Ruochen had spat out a mouthful of fire. It hit Lan Ying, burning him until wisps of smoke were emitted.

On the other side, Zhang Ruochen’s headless body with a Pleiades Lotus in his hand hit Lan Ying hard.

Bang!

Lan Ying was smashed into pieces and turned into a mass of Qi of Slaughter.

The Pleiades Lotus was about to absorb all the Qi of Slaughter, but the Sword of Asura flew over quickly and took all the Qi of Slaughter before absorbing it into the sword body.

Swoosh!

The Sword of Asura flew far away. The light it emitted reflected the surrounding starry sky into a blood-red color. It was brilliant and strange.

From the body of the sword, Lan Ying’s cold voice came. “The Sword of Asura decapitated you. The powerful Qi of Slaughter should have instantly devoured all of your life force and destroyed your sea of Qi. How can you possibly still survive?”

Lan Ying had been accumulating energy to execute that sword strike for a long time, and the attack had caught Zhang Ruochen off guard. The Qi of Slaughter it contained was even stronger than the one Lan Ying had used to attack Que.

Back then, Que had been prepared. He had mobilized the power of Oblivion and dissolved a large amount of Qi of Slaughter. That was why he survived despite being split into two halves. ‘Could it be Zhang Ruochen was also prepared and dissolved the Qi of Slaughter of the Sword of Asura?’ thought Lan Ying. But he remained skeptical.

‘The Sword of Asura is a powerful divine weapon. No one can dissolve the Qi of Slaughter.’

Zhang Ruochen’s head and body flew together and merged. Divine Flames burned on his body. “How can that little Qi of Slaughter you mobilized destroy me, someone with Five-element Chaotic Neverwither Physique?”

If it had been before meeting Madre Bloody Shadow, Zhang Ruochen could not have withstood such a powerful strike from Lan Ying.

But now, after refining his physique with the Pale Blood Soil, the Sword of Asura could not kill him. At least, with Lan Ying’s cultivation, Lan Ying could not kill him.

Zhang Ruochen sensed Yan Wushen and Que’s presence. His expression changed slightly. He glanced at Lady Wind and immediately executed dimensional techniques to escape across space.

He appeared 500 miles away the next moment.

Then he opened the dimensional wormhole mirror and stepped into it.

Zhang Ruochen’s sneak attack and words had struck Lan Ying. In fact, the Qi of Slaughter within Zhang Ruochen had not been completely dissolved. And thus, his combat power had greatly decreased.

Therefore, he had to escape and avoid a direct confrontation with Que, Yan Wushen, and Lan Ying.

Moreover, Zhang Ruochen could not figure out whether the deal between Lady Wind and Lan Ying had included him.

He wondered whether Lady Wind and Lan Ying were just acting.

Logically speaking, the sword that Lan Ying decapitated Zhang Ruochen, the Sword of Asura, must have shown signs of conserving energy. At that time, it had been in Lady Wind’s hand. Hence, she should have noticed the signs.

If Lady Wind hadn’t used the power of Destiny to wipe the killing intent on the sword away, Zhang Ruochen wouldn’t have been caught off guard.

Moreover, Zhang Ruochen had gotten too much limelight in the Celestial-Hunting battle. In contrast, the other Immortal Vampires did not stand out. As long as hang Ruochen was alive, even if Lady Wind became the Scioness of Destiny, she would draw controversy. Other cultivators would say that she got the position all thanks to Zhang Ruochen.

The Immortal Vampires Supreme Saints in the Celestial-Hunting battle would respect Zhang Ruochen more highly than her since they would think she did not earn the Scioness position with her own efforts.

Zhang Ruochen dying and losing his value on the last day was what Lady Wind wanted to see the most.

So when the time came, she could sit back and reap all the fruits of Zhang Ruochen’s victory.
