Chapter 2324 - Saint Lord Zuo Mu
Chapter 2324 Saint Lord Zuo Mu
No matter how strong Celestial Captives were, they didn’t have spiritual power. Hence, they couldn’t sense danger approaching. Zhang Ruochen and Lord Xia Yu moved quickly on the third Dark Star.
After an hour, Zhang Ruochen suddenly stopped. He crouched down and stroked the ground. “He’s nearby. The ground is filled with Supreme Saint Inscriptions. I’ll break them
all.”
“Wait.”
Lord Xia Yu grabbed Zhang Ruochen’s wrist and stopped him. “You can track the Celestial Captive in Thousand-Koan Realm, but he can’t sense that we’re here, right?”
Zhang Ruochen looked down and glanced at Lord Xia Yu’s delicate hand. “That’s right.”
Lord Xia Yu said, “If that’s the case, why do we have to fight him head-on? It’s better to attack him by surprise.”
Zhang Ruochen withdrew his hand from her fingers and smiled “There are not only Supreme Saint Inscriptions on the ground but underground and in the sky too. They are crisscrossed and densely distributed. It’s almost impossible for other cultivators to sneak in without anyone knowing.”
The power of the third Dark Star was special, its power could make Dimensions extremely stable. It was difficult to perform Great Dimensional Shift and Spatial Wormhole Mirror here. Furthermore, it was even more difficult to use Power of Dimensions with the Supreme Saint Inscriptions’ hinder.
With Zhang Ruochen’s dimensional attainments, he could try.
However, it was easy to make mistakes. If he wasn’t careful, he would fall into the void space.
That was why Zhang Ruochen decided to play it safe and attack.
With his and Lord Xia Yu’s battle strength together with two Supreme Artifacts, they would at least be invincible.
The other party was a powerful figure Supreme Saint among Thousand-Koan Realm. Even if a Supreme Saint from Banshi Isshou Realm wanted to kill him, it would not be easy. From the beginning, Zhang Ruochen had been prepared for a long battle. With the enemy’s weakness of no spiritual power, Zhang Ruochen would slowly exhaust him to death. Lord Xia Yu put her hands behind her blood robe. Her round chest was lifted high. Her red lips and her snow-white chin were raised, she smiled and said, “Don’t forget, there’s a High-Saint Talisman Master and a High-Saint Array Master here. How can a mere Supreme Saint Inscription stop her?”
Zhang Ruochen glanced at her with a strange expression. “Since when did you, the ice queen, become so narcissistic and proud?”
When he first met Lord Xia Yu, she was as cold as ice. She was distant and hostile toward Zhang Ruochen. But now, Lord Xia Yu was like a different person in front of him. She became shameless and loved to self-praise. Her previous coldness was gone forever. She had completely let down her guard and resistance against Zhang Ruochen. Perhaps this was the real her.
Lord Xia Yu seemed to realize that she was different from before. She quickly put away her smile and said coldly, “After cultivating Talisman and Array formation to the High-Saint Realm, I could dissolve the Supreme Saint Inscriptions with a snap of my fingers. Watch carefully!”
Lord Xia Yu put her slender finger to her lips and bit it.
A drop of Supreme Saint’s blood flew out and gave off a seductive light.
Her finger drew a complicated and mysterious blood talisman in the void space.
Whoosh
Blood Talisman fell to the ground more than 30 meters away like a piece of paper. Instantly, Supreme Saint Inscriptions that interweaved between heaven and earth melted quickly.
Lord Xia Yu was quite proud. She stared at Zhang Ruochen with an expression that said, “I’m very powerful, right?”.
Then, she continued to draw talismans and led the way.
Zhang Ruochen knew that he was far inferior to Lord Xia Yu in terms of Talisman and Array formation. So, he nodded and praised, “Very powerful. No wonder you dare to call yourself Lord. You do have some tricks up your sleeves.”
“I didn’t grant myself as Lord Xia Yu. It was bestowed to me by the 340 billion Immortal Vampires of the Xias,” Lord Xia Yu said.
Supreme Saint Inscriptions covered an area of more than two hundred kilometers. In the center stood a pitch-black mountain. The mountain was made entirely of rock. The cliffs on all four sides looked as if they had been slashed by a peerless expert.
At the foot of the cliff on the south side of the mountain, two copper cauldrons emitted green and red light.
The two cauldrons were identical. They had six legs and two ears. One was wrapped around a green dragon and the other around a red scaly dragon. They emitted powerful energy fluctuations.
They were known as Hexad Sun and Moon Furnace.
They were two heavy weapons of Fane of Meteorite, one of the 24 Fane of Asura. They have reached as a Class Two Regal Artifacts. When the two cauldrons were combined, they could unleash the power of a Class Three Regal Artifact.
Lord Xia Yu broke the Supreme Saint Inscriptions. Together with Zhang Ruochen, they arrived at the edge where the light of Hexad Sun and Moon Furnace couldn’t reach. Standing in Pleiades Lotus, they could perfectly hide their aura.
Saint Lord Zuo Mu stood below the two cauldrons and used Hexad Sun and Moon Furnace Flame to refine one Regal Artifact after another.
Zhang Ruochen and Lord Xia Yu did not attack rashly. They were looking for the best opportunity. Lord Xia Yu said in a low voice, “Hexad Sun and Moon Furnace are the weapons of Second Saintess Yan Cuo of Fane of Meteorite. I didn’t expect Saint Lord Zuo Mu to take them.”
“There are 16 of them,” Zhang Ruochen said.
Lord Xia Yu knew what Zhang Ruochen was referring to. Saint Lord Zuo Mu had taken 16 Regal Artifacts. In other words, Saint Lord Zuo Mu had killed 16 Supreme Saints. Suddenly, Zhang Ruochen’s eyes narrowed. He stared at the dark area at the bottom of the cliff and said, “So there are 17 of them.”
In the Dark Area, a black centipede-like chain bound the 17th figures. The spikes of the black centipede chain pierced into the rocks and their bodies, making them unable to move.
They were not dead. They were still alive.
Lord Xia Yu also found out. She said in surprise, “The leader of Fane of Meteorite Fang Mofeng, Second Saintess Yan Cuo, Yan Hanyu, and Mo Cuo. The other 14 are all Ghost Supreme Saints.”
Zhang Ruochen said, “Saint Lord Zuo Mu knows how to take advantage of the situation. The Ghost top elites are either self-destructed or seriously injured. But instead, he had a steal.”
On Ghost’s home planet, Zhang Ruochen had only taken Xu’s Pleiades Lotus and Ghost-headed Whip of Popobawa Ghost Emperor.
It was just two weapons.
But Saint Lord Zuo Mu had taken all 17 Regal Artifacts.
“The hatred between Saint Lord Zuo Mu and Fane of Meteorite is very deep. It’s totally aimed at them,” Zhang Ruochen said.
Lord Xia Yu said, “It’s said that Fane of Meteorite made a great effort to capture Saint Lord Zuo Mu. Now that the leader and Second Saintess Yan Cuo have been captured, Fane of Meteorite has lost not only its reputation but also its position in Asura for the next thousand years.”
Saint Lord Zuo Mu has cold feet about the Celestial Captives, thus he just seized and didn’t dare to kill them.
Once Celestial Captives killed Supreme Saints of Infernal Court, one would be tracked by the Mystic Eye of Myriad Realms. Then the location of the Celestial Captive would be sent to every Supreme Saint of Infernal Court in the diamond-shaped mirror.
Therefore, even if Saint Lord Zuo Mu wanted to kill these captives, he would definitely wait until the end of Celestial-Hunting Festival.
Lord Xia Yu was about to make a move, but Zhang Ruochen patted her shoulder and said, “A Thousand-Koan Realm Supreme Saint’s reaction is extremely fast. If you want to sneak attack him, you have to wait for a better opportunity.”
At this time, Saint Lord Zuo Mu sneered and said, “Ghost’s Supreme Saints are so poor. Most of the weapons used in Celestial-Hunting Festival are Class Two Regal Artifacts. They can’t even compare to the weapons of my three junior brothers and sisters. How disappointing.”
The Ghost Supreme Saints who had their cultivation sealed lowered their heads and did not say a word.
They had no choice as they were already in this situation. There was no point in arguing.
Now, they could only hope that the top-tier elites of Hundred-Shackle Realm would rush here and kill Saint Lord Zuo Mu. Only then would they have a chance to survive.
However, fewer than five Supreme Saints of Infernal Court had the chance to kill Saint Lord Zuo Mu. There was not much hope.
Saint Lord Zuo Mu said, “Do you know why the Mystic Eye of Myriad Realms didn’t send you off even if you wanted to leave Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting?”
After pausing for a moment, he said, “That’s because the Dark Star is a planet that Fane of Destiny arranged for Celestial Captives. Everything is decided by Celestial Captive here.
“The purpose of Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting is to train you. The weak will be eliminated, and the strong will survive
“You are all the weak, so you’ll all die. Haha!”
Mo Cuo, who was nailed to the cliff by the centipede-like chains, gritted his teeth and said, “Do you think Fane of Destiny will really let you go if you killed so many Supreme Saints of Infernal Court?”
Mo Cuo looked like a young man in his twenties. Even though he was covered in injuries, one could still tell that he was handsome and had an outstanding aura. He was a peerless beauty.
He was the most outstanding prodigy of Fane of Meteorite after Saint Lord Zuo Mu.
Saint Lord Zuo Mu walked over and stared at Mo Cuo closely, he smiled and said, “Do you think your life is so important to Fane of Destiny and the gods? No, you don’t have the qualifications at all. Among the eyes of Fane of Destiny and the gods, at most, only that old guy from Fane of Meteorite will slightly treasure you.”
“You…”
Mo Cuo glared fiercely at Saint Lord Zuo Mu.
Saint Lord Zuo Mu held a two-foot-long short sword that he had just refined and placed it on Mo Cuo’s face, “All the heaven’s favored sons in the last thousand years of Infernal Court had gathered at Battle of Celestial-Hunting. However, the gods pay attention to a few or a dozen of them only. You are definitely not one of them.”
“Senior brother Zuo Mu, it was your fault all those years ago. You can not make the same mistake again.” A gentle female voice sounded.
The one who spoke was Yan Hanyu, who was known as Fane of Meteorite’s number one beauty.
This woman’s skin was as smooth as butter. Her lips were red and her teeth were white. Even though she was wearing a white plain robe, she gave off an extremely stunning feeling. This was especially so for her delicate and moving temperament. She was like a delicate and sentimental woman.
If one only looked at her appearance, who would have thought that she was a Supreme Saint Realm powerhouse?
Saint Lord Zuo Mu’s gaze shifted towards her and landed on her breathtakingly beautiful face, “You said that I was wrong, but didn’t you also walk further down the wrong path? Have you ever thought of turning back after betraying Tianchu Civilization?”
Yan Hanyu looked bitter, but when her eyes fell on Mo Cuo, they immediately regained their firmness.
In Pleiades Lotus.
Zhang Ruochen asked, “Is Yan Hanyu the Supreme Saint of Tianchu Civilization?”
He asked this question because he saw a trace of Luoji in Yan Hanyu.
“Her identity in Tianchu Civilization is not ordinary. She is a direct descendant of Tianzhu, and her mother is a demigod,” Lord Xia Yu said.
Zhang Ruochen said, “If her identity is so noble, why did she betray Tianzhu Civilization and become a member of Asura?”
“No one knows the details. However, Tianchu Civilization and Ashuran Planet were very close to each other. The two fought all year round. Yan Hanyu and Mo Cuo might have changed from enemies to lovers. For example, you and Fairy Lian Xi, or you and Rakshasa Princess, or even you and me. Everything is possible!” Lord Xia Yu said.
“Don’t compare. The opportunity is coming!”
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes narrowed. His gaze was like an eagle’s.
Rip
Saint Lord Zuo Mu grabbed Yan Hanyu’s chest and tore off her white plainclothes, revealing her flawless and delicate body.
His eyes were smiling as he sized her up greedily. “What a pity. If the Mystic Eye of Myriad Realms could reflect the scene here and spread it throughout Infernal Court, that old fellow from Fane of Meteorite would probably die from anger, right?”
Yan Hanyu was a Supreme Saint after all. Her state of mind was much more resolute than an ordinary woman’s. She bit her lower teeth and trembled slightly when she was attacked. She did not appear to be weak.
However, Mo Cuo’s heart was bleeding. He screamed, “Zuo Mu, fight me if you want. How could you humiliate a woman? You dare call yourselves a Supreme Saint?”
Fane of Meteorite’s leader, Fang Mofeng said, “If you humiliate Fane of Meteorite like this, even if you leave Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting alive, master will chase you to the ends of the Earth. Can you escape then?”
“Why can’t I escape? At most, I will take your heads and join Tianzhu Civilization. Can that old fellow still barge into Tianzhu Civilization and kill me?”
Saint Lord Zuo Mu laughed maniacally. He then grabbed the back of Yan Hanyu’s neck and lifted her delicate body slightly. Her snow-white jade-like face was about to touch his lips, “Junior brother Mo Cuo, when you helped Fane of Destiny and chased after me, did you ever think that this day would come? As a member of Asura, you didn’t work hard to cultivate the path of killing but fell in love with a woman. You’re destined to be mediocre in your life.”
Boom
Mo Cuo let out a long roar as rays of blood light burst out from his body. He was burning his saint blood in an attempt to break the seal in his body.
The centipede-like chain was shaking until it made “Ding Ding” sounds.
The centipede’s spikes slowly moved out of his body. Just as he was about to break free, two beams of light shot out from Saint Lord Zuo Mu’s eyes and hit Mo Cuo’s chest.
BOOM!
Mo Cuo’s body caved in from the hit and a large amount of blood mist flew out.
“Junior brother Mo Cuo, senior has taught you a lesson today. The weak can only be slaughtered by others and suffer helpless pain.”
Saint Lord Zuo Mu’s gaze was fixed on Yan Hanyu. He was about to humiliate her in front of Mo Cuo to vent the resentment and endless hatred in his heart.
Suddenly, Saint Lord Zuo Mu felt danger and looked up.
A fire cloud containing divine force descended from the sky and reached his head in an instant.
“Yanshen’s Leg.”
Zhang Ruochen stood above the fire cloud like a peerless evil god. Divine force surged from his left foot. Dense Divine Marks interweaved. The dazzling flame lit up the Dark Star for a short time.
Boom
Half of Saint Lord Zuo Mu’s body was stepped into the ground. Even though his arms blocked Zhang Ruochen’s left leg, he still spat out a mouthful of purple blood. He was suppressed and couldn’t move.
“Great Kun Tun Fingerstrike,”
Lord Xia Yu’s steps were like a flash of lightning. She rushed behind Saint Lord Zuo Mu and stuck him.
This finger strike hit right on his head.
Crack Crack!
Cracks appeared and collapsed inward on Saint Lord Zuo Mu’s skull around Lord Xia Yu’s finger strike.
No matter how hard a Supreme Saint’s bone was, it would still crack under such a sharp blow.
