God Emperor

Yinghuo did not recognize Zhang Ruochen as she held the Compendium of Beasts, as she controlled thousands of Bloodbats, they surrounded Zhang Ruochen whole.

Whoosh.

A moment later, the Bloodbats dispersed.

The cripple had disappeared without a trace.

“Was he eaten to oblivion?”

Yinghuo’s curving eyebrows formed a gentle frown, and she felt a little weird.

The cripple, for him to be able to pursue Shi Kai, his strength must have been extraordinary, how could he be so feeble?

Zhang Ruochen had long disappeared into hundreds of miles away. In order to save someone, he did not fight with Yinghuo and used Dimensional Shift to teleport away.

At this moment, he held the Ancient Abyssal Blade in one hand, and the Eight-Dragon Umbrella in another as he blocked Shi Kai.

Shi Kai stopped and looked at Zhang Ruochen, who was like an ant, and said, “For you to be able to escape Luocheng, that meant you are somewhat capable. But why did you chose to chase me and meet your doom?”

Zhang Ruochen stared at the iron chains in Shi Kai’s hands as he thought about countermeasures, and said to himself. “Only by breaking the chains, and freeing both Black Phoenix and White Zhuque can I deal with Shi Kai.”

Shi Kai seemed to have seen through what Zhang Ruochen was thinking and laughed. “Tianmingzi, still not showing up yet?”

Zhang Ruochen sensed five powerful saint aura appearing from the night veil, and his heart immediately sank, realizing that he had walked into Shi Kai’s trap.

Of course, the trap was not necessarily set for him, but he had jumped into in nonetheless.

A series of laughter rang out in the void.

Immediately after, the Five Scions of Tianyuan appeared in five positions around Zhang Ruochen, surrounding him.

Seeing the Five Scions of Tianyuan, both Black Phoenix and White Zhuque went pale, as they looked at each other and smiled bitterly. It seems like this is the end for them.

Tianmingzi stroked his beard and smiled triumphantly. “Cripple oh cripple! You are just too meddlesome, and your doom today is fated.”

Zhang Ruochen very quickly regained his composure and said, “The Six Scions of Tianyuan are known figures in the Tiankui Realm, and for you to work with the cultivators of the Infernal Court, aren’t you afraid that if I were to report this to the Celestial Palace, not only your demise is assured, your sect too will face imminent destruction.”

Tianmingzi was confident and replied. “Cripple, you are also a cultivator who had reached the realm of a Saint King, how can you be so naive? There is only eternal interests, and no eternal enemies, so what if we work with Shi Kai? If we just kill you, who else would know?”

“Then you better pray that you can really kill me.” Zhang Ruochen spat back.

Shi Kai did not want to stay here for much longer and said. “I have captured Black Phoenix and White Zhuque and brought them here. Now can you lot first plant the Saint Worms into them? These two b*tches are quite strong. If not for you lot bringing me into Luocheng and placed me in Saint Xu Place. I had no way to approach them discreetly. Ambushing them is as difficult as climbing the heavens.”

Black Phoenix and White Zhuque now finally understood how they had suffered the sneak attack, and were furious, wishing that they could rip the Five Scions of Tianyuan apart, and reducing them to ashes.

Tianmingzi smiled. “Don’t worry, once we plant the Saint Worms in them, no matter how strong their willpower is, they will be reduced to obedient good girls. Master Jie will definitely love this gift, and our cooperation opportunities will be more in the future.”

These people seemed to think that Zhang Ruochen was done for, and dared to spill whatever secret they had before him.

“Tianmingzi, dare to fight me?”

Black Phoenix crawled up from the group, and a sharp, cold light appeared in her phoenix eyes

But, at this moment she looked miserable, and her black silken dress was torn in many places, revealing her snow-white skin, and her slender beautiful legs were exposed before everyone, and even her lace underpants was also exposed.

The Five Scions of Tianyuan stared at her alluring body and smiled. Among them, Tianjinzi and Tianjuezi’s eyes glowed with lust and were full of desires.

“Black Phoenix and White Zhuque are the most famous beauties from Taibai Realm, how about we have some fun with them before gifting them to Master Jie?” Tianjinzi said.

Tianmingzi still had a serious look on his face, but he gently nodded.

Black Phoenix looked at the eyes of the Five Scions and how could she not know what they were thinking. She gritted her teeth and immediately rushed toward them.

Bam!

Shi Kai’s stone arms tugged, and pulled Black Phoenix back, and her body fell back onto the ground.

Tianmingzi walked straight away and pulled out a porcelain bottle as he smiled. “Want to fight with me? Sure, once I plant the Saint Worm in you, we can fight all day long.”

Black Phoenix’s face was deadly pale and did not want to be humiliated, so she wanted to blow up her saint source.

But the chains in Shi Kai’s hand locked down the Saint Qi in her body.

White Suzaku looked pitiful as having her neck chained was quite the humiliation for this proud daughter of heaven, and felt like she was a collared dog. If she were to be planted with the Saint Worm, she dared not imagine how would she end up in the future.

“Are you really treating me like I don’t exist?”

A burst of flame appeared under Zhang Ruochen ‘s feet as he activated the inscriptions in the Ancient Abyssal Blade, and blasted off, as he charged at Shi Kai.

“Haha, instead of thinking of escaping with your life, you actually dared to strike, this is the first time I’ve seen a Saint King as foolish as you.”

Tianjuezi’s voice was wild as he pulled out a battle ax and swiped at Zhang Ruochen as he confidently said, “Don’t interfere, I will avenge Tianyuzi myself and cripple his other leg.”

The battle-ax was as big as a door and instantly burst out the full strength of the Fifth Radiance.

Zhang Ruochen’s pupils narrowed as his body rotated like a spin top as the Ancient Abyssal Blade collided in succession.

Bam! Bam!!

In the end, seemingly unable to match Tianjuezi’s strength, Zhang Ruochen’s body was sent flying.

“I am an Eight-step Saint King, you are still a long way from me, cripple.”

Tianjuezi leaped up to pursue as he had the battle-ax in both hands and slashed at Zhang Ruochen.

Long before the battle-ax landed, its force had already torn the ground apart, creating a fissure that was dozens of feet apart. And if it really landed, even a thousand-foot-high mountain peak would have been split in half.

A menacing smile appeared on Tianjuezi’s face as if he wanted to torture and kill Zhang Ruochen, therefore, the ax was aimed at Zhang Ruochen’s right leg.

A playful smile flashed past Zhang Ruochen’s eyes.

If it was fight strength against strength, Zhang Ruochen’s Five-step Saint King realm may not be a match for Tianjuezi.

But Zhang Ruochen was not just a martial artist, he was also a master of time and space.

WHOOSH!!

Tianjuezi’s vision blurred for a moment, and the cripple had disappeared.

Not good.

Tianjuezi’s reaction was fast, as he patted his waist, and immediately activated a talisman hidden in his belt, and forming a defensive shield.

Zhang Ruochen did not attack Tianjuezi but shifted not too far away from where Tianmingzi and Black Phoenix was, immediately charging at them.

Tianmingzi was about to implant the worm and suddenly, his eyes glanced sideways. “Damn it, why Tianjuezi can’t even deal with a cripple?”

Tianmingzi’s cultivation had reached the realm of a Nine-step Saint King, and he grasped at the void as more than seventy thousand precepts of the palm appeared in his hand. With the push of his pal, a force wave surged out.

Zhang Ruochen’s entire vision was completely covered by a handprint.

That handprint was colossal with five fingers piercing into the sky, while the palm was like a flying chunk of earth.

Black Phoenix knew that the cripple would not be able to block the attack, and closed her eyes as she dared not look. However, the act of the cripple desperately trying to rescue her, she had branded it in her heart.

In the past, even the famous heroes who had wanted to pursue her had been refused by her with the excuse of ‘I won’t look for a partner in the path before I reach the realm of a Supreme Saint.’

But at this moment, she thought that, if she could survive this tribulation today, even if the cripple were to be disabled, or no matter how ugly he was, she must give him a chance.

As she thought of this, she heard a crisp sound by her ear.

Crack!

The chain that was clamped onto her neck was cut off by a sword slash, and immediately, a potent surge of Saint Qi filled her body.

Black Phoenix opened her beautiful star-like eyes and only saw the cripple was by her side, and she had no idea how did he dodge that palm strike from Tianmingzi.

At this moment, a strange emotion welled within Black Phoenix. How did this cripple be so majestic and cool?

“Strike now,” Zhang Ruochen said.

Black Phoenix nodded as a cold, sharp light appeared in her eyes. Black flames gushed out of her jade-like body and instantly turned the area within a hundred miles into a blazing domain.

“For her cultivation to so powerful.”

Zhang Ruochen was sent flying back by the force of the flames.

“You have insulted me earlier, and now you shall suffer the fury you deserve.”

A pair of huge phoenix wings appeared behind Black Phoenix, and both wings looked like heavenly black blades and slashed at Tianmingzi.

Black Phoenix, who was in a state of rage was a bit stronger than usual and sent Tianmingzi, who was still astonished, flying several miles away.

Tianmingzi was not injured, and after regaining his balance, stared at Black Phoenix, and then at Zhang Ruochen as he muttered in a low voice. “The power of space, that cripple is a cultivator of dimensions.”

Seeing that Black Phoenix broke free, Shi Kai and the other four Scions of Tianyuan were shocked and immediately charged at her, as they tried to suppress her again.

At this moment, Zhang Ruochen used his Dimensional Shift again, and reappeared beside Shi Kai, and struck out like lightning as he cut off the chains of White Zhuque’s neck.

Immediately, a sharp, harsh voice came out of White Zhuque’s mouth.

The sound wave was so strong that one could faintly hear it even thousands of miles away.

White Zhuque was no longer quiet like before, as her fury raged and her long hair fluttered. As she flew into the air, she turned the entire sky white.

“You shall face the fury of the Zhuque.”

White Zhuque directly used her strongest trump card, as she held the Pennannular White Jade Ring, as she fell from the city, and launched her attacks at Shi Kai with a vengeful abandon.

The Pennnanular White Jade Ring was a fragment of a Supreme Saint Artifact and was the size of the palm, it was white as jade and crystal clear.

Voosh!

A densely packed Supreme Inscriptions crisscrossed over the surface of the Pennnanular White Jade Ring and exuded a trace of Supreme Power.

Shi Kai clearly knew the power of the Pennnanular White Jade Ring, and it let out a roar as Supreme Saint wards appeared on both of its palms, and blasted out an intermediate-level saint technique palm strike, to fight against White Zhuque’s attack.

Boom!! Boom!!

Like a beam of light, Pennnanular White Jade Ring shattered Shi Kai’s right palm and shot through his palm before hitting it in the right leg and shattering it into pieces. The shockwave that came from the power of the Pennnanular White Jade Ring shook the ground till it sank and formed a large crater.
