God Emperor

Zhang Ruochen mobilized space rules and showed up above the Death Knight, wielding a saint-level blood repression rune.

The rune exploded, then white light wrapped around the Death Knight, sealing his blood Qi.

The self-destruct technique was immediately stopped.

“No!”

That Death Knight had already made up his mind to go down and drag Zhang Ruochen with him, yet he had now been disrupted.

He yelled and tried to get out of the suppression from the blood repression rune.

Bang!

Zhang Ruochen slapped the Death Knight, and his saint way power was transferred to the Death Knight’s legs, breaking them. He couldn’t help but kneel on the ground while his body kept sinking. Only his head was still out.

The Carnivorous Holy Flower rushed out of Zhang Ruochen’s body and pierced through that Death Knight, starting to absorb his blood Qi and saint Qi.

That Death Knight screamed in agony because of the severe pain he bore.

Zhang Ruochen wasn’t empathetic at all as he reckoned it was payback for immortal vampires draining humans’ blood.

Ying Huo couldn’t show any signs of happiness anymore after seeing it. It was catastrophic.

Blood repression runes were a calamity to the immortal vampires.

However, they only knew very little about blood repression runes. They had no idea how to fight them.

“That Zhang Ruochen has got to be the key. We have to capture him no matter what.”

Ying Huo spurted blood at the Thousand Beast Treasure Mirror, and then, a huge storm dashed forward.

Howl!

A giant white tiger rushed out from the center of the storm.

It wasn’t a tiger, but Qiongqi who had the bloodline of a divine beast.

Qiongqi had the shape of a white tiger, but it didn’t have any fur. Instead, it was covered with white ice thorns and had a pair of giant wings.

Martial Saint Canglan and White Li Princess became heaps more serious as they were intimidated by that Qiongqi.

“Zhang Ruochen, I need to borrow your sarira,” said White Li Princess.

With that Qiongqi in the picture, they wouldn’t be able to fight Ying Huo. Zhang Ruochen gave White Li Princess the sarira without hesitation.

After seeing the blood repression runes working on the Death Knights, Guoguo stopped being scared. It ran rapidly and yelled, “Come fight me, you damned immortal vampires! I’ll annihilate both your souls and bodies.”

Meanwhile, the Monster Ape raised a mountain that was three thousand feet tall and threw it toward the immortal vampire monks.

It looked like a fight between Gods and demons. Sand, stones, and lightning filled the space, and saint way Qi flowed in the air.

The monks standing outside Xianji Mountain watched the fight, which thrilled them all.

“Heavenly King Qing Xiao, Martial Saint Canglan and Zhang Ruochen are teaming up to fight Situ Fengcheng, Immortal Goddess and Zhu Qingyi. I reckon many saints will soon be killed.”

“Heavenly King Qing Xiao and Situ Fengcheng are both meticulous leaders, and they’ve never been defeated before. Whose record is going to be broken today?”

…

Someone spread the news back to the Central Region, which shocked everyone.

Everyone who was in the battle was a renowned legend with great luck. They were the leaders of this era, so if any of them got killed, it would cause a great stir.

Although the major powers were not in the north, they still paid great attention to the battle.

“What is Zhang Ruochen trying to do? He’s killed more than ten blood saints already, but it’s still not enough?”

“Kill them! Kill them all! Zhang Ruochen and Qing Xiao Heavenly King are my idols.” A human monk who had lost all his family was exhilarated after hearing about it.

“No wonder Martial Saint Canglan is the head of the nine heavenly maidens. She’s brave enough to fight the immortal vampires herself. She’s such a model for us female monks.”

…

Inside Lianzhu Mansion, the Confucius monks and the officials from the imperial government were all kind of dazed as that fight had literally taken place out of nowhere.

“Let’s go to the Heaven and Earth Chessboard.”

Led by the prime minister, Wang Shiqi, elders who were wearing Confucius robes and government official robes arrived at the ninth mansion of Lianzhu Mansion. They stood around a chessboard that was thirty feet long, observing the changes on the chessboard.

“Not just Qing Xiao Heavenly King, but Martial Saint Canglan, Zhang Ruochen, and Pei Yutian are also nearby.”

Saint Lady was relieved after seeing the chess piece that represented Pei Yutian. With his help, Zhang Ruochen and the others stood a much higher chance of winning the battle.

However, they soon realized that there were some other chess pieces near the southern cliff of Xianji Mountain.

Those chess pieces didn’t have labels on them.

Whenever someone became a saint, there would be a new chess piece on the Heaven and Earth Chessboard.

And then, the imperial government would send an envoy to confirm the identity of that saint, putting his or her information on the chess piece.

As the chess pieces without labels showed up, the result of that battle became much more unpredictable.

Wang Shiqi was way more observant than others as he noticed something weird. He said, “There’s something wrong with Xianji Mountain as if there’s some incredible being changing the rules of heaven and earth there, blocking our observation.”

“How is it possible? Who’s strong enough to influence the Heaven and Earth Chessboard?” Someone raised the question.

Saint Lady stared at the chessboard and said, “Mind power supreme saints.”

Chu Siyuan found it hard to believe. “Are you saying the leader of the Immortal Temple, Nalan? He’s already one of the most powerful beings in the entire Kunlun’s Field. How would he interfere with the fight among some saints? And besides, the one from Earth God Temple was holding him back the whole time.”

The leader of Zither Sect, Mr. Mei remained silent for a while and said, “A battle at that level is unimaginable for us. Sometimes, we can only know what really happened after the fight is over. Unfortunately, it’ll be too late!”

Saint Lady bit her lip and said, “Perhaps one of them, Zhang Ruochen, Qing Xiao Heavenly King, Martial Saint Canglan or Pei Yutian, has an incredible treasure which intimidates or attracts the leader of the Immortal Temple. Is that possible?”

Everyone was dazed at first, and then they reckoned what Saint Lady said indeed made some sense.

A great mind power gushed out of Wang Shiqi. He said, “We need to make sure they survive first, no matter what. And then we’ll go find out what happened.”

“Let’s do it together and turn on ‘Nine Stars.’ I’ll operate Saint Book Ruzu to attack the Immortal Temple. I’ve been wanting to fight that leader of the Immortal Temple for a long time.”

All the saints from the Way of Confucius started to take action, guarding nine mansions of Lianzhu Mansion.

Boom!

The entire Central Emperor City shook. All the monks saw nine light pillars rising from Lianzhu Mansion.

Nine stars emerged in a line in the sky, and each star was half the size of the sun.

Outside the Central Emperor City, monks in many other areas in Kunlun’s Field also saw that.

The high priest of the demonic sect looked at the nine stars, standing at the top of the Star Observing Tower. He said, “‘Nine Stars’! The saints from Confucius Way finally started to take action. Are they fighting the leader from the Immortal Temple or Qitian Blood Emperor?”

Nine Li Palace, Savage Barren Secret Region.

A woman with nine white cattails stood at the top of the red palace. She stepped on the clouds and smiled. “Can’t believe a fight among the youngsters led to such an uproar. How many human beings and immortal vampires are involved?”

…

At this moment, those who were fighting at the southern cliff didn’t know what was happening because of them. Many people were dragged into the battle and tried to hold each other up.

Some of the supreme beings were forced to fight even if they had no idea what was happening.

Zhang Ruochen focused on Ying Huo and rushed forward. He tried to stab her head with his sword.

“Don’t you show any care for a girl? Are you really killing me?”

Ying Huo didn’t try to dodge it. Instead, she stared at Zhang Ruochen with her exquisite eyes and long eyelashes. She blinked seductively.

Even the most cold-blooded killer in the world would hesitate in facing this unbelievably beautiful face.

However, Zhang Ruochen didn’t hesitate at all. He stabbed the head of Ying Huo with his knife, and her face was torn apart.

At the next moment, the fragments also withered away.

“Damn… It’s an illusion.”

Zhang Ruochen immediately closed his eyes and sensed his surroundings with his mind power. He then felt a vicious trace of sword Qi showing up behind him, and the tip of the sword was only three feet away from him.

It was Zhu Qingyi.

Zhang Ruochen couldn’t dodge it at all as it was already too close. He pinched his fingers into a sword technique, turned around and hit the tip of the sword.

Bang!

Zhang Ruochen took three steps back, making three holes in the ground. He felt a great pain in his fingers.

Zhu Qingyi had great cultivation. She had survived an attack from Pei Yutian before, and she was a great being even among the heaven pass blood generals. She was at the same level as Zhang Ruochen, so with the help of the defender formation, she posed a great threat to Zhang Ruochen.
