Chapter 942: The Snipe and The Clam Have a Quarrel

Translator: Larbre Studio  Editor: Larbre Studio

The quickest two were the Son of Deity of the Blood God Sect in the golden armor, and the Saintess surrounded by nine rings of light.

They were like two shot arrows racing to the front, reaching a one kilometer height in a short time. They were both experts in martial arts, who seemed to have been barely affected by the wards of Poluo Mountain.

Bai Yu, Ning Guihai and Yan Kongming followed the Son of Deity and the Saintess tightly. With the saint body of the Flying Fairy, Bai Yu had an extraordinary speed to be about 70 meters behind the Saintess of the Blood God Sect.

Ning Guihai also had a high speed, almost riding together with Bai Yu.

Only Yan Kongming out of the top three was a little left behind, about a stone’s throw slower than Bai Yu and Ning Guihai.

But Yan Kongming appeared to be calm, and put on a gloomy smirk. “There will be the Poisonous Miasma and the Whirlpool Marshland in the middle of the mountain, and an area of wind blades on the mountaintop. There’s no need to rush now. After all, we’ll have to slow down later.”

Yan Kongming looked to his behind, and showed a little surprise.

The man following him was not one of the competitive Third Level Half-Saints deduced by him, but a Second Level Half-Saint.

“No wonder Discipline King Haiming has sent him to compete for the Banner Lord. He does have talent.”

Yan Kongming didn’t value the Second Level Half-Saint behind him too much. He kept on racing to the mountaintop with his quickest speed.

Apparently, it was Zhang Ruochen following him.

Zhang Ruochen didn’t display his full speed, in case he should expose himself.

He had a similar attempt with Yan Kongming, bursting out full speed after they reached the middle of the mountain, and surpassing all that were in front of him. For the moment, he just had to catch up.

Behind Zhang Ruochen, there were four powerful figures who had reached the peak of the Third Level of the Half Saint. Their strengths were just a little inferior to those of Bai Yu, Yan Kongming and Ning Guihai.

They had planned to kill Yan Kongming first, before the Son of Deity of the Blood God Sect and the Saintess appeared. Only in this way could they win a position of Banner Lord.

The competition had become fiercer after the Son of Deity and the Saintess joined them. Therefore, they couldn’t stand a chance now.

“The boy was just a Second Level Half-Saint. How can he come to the front of us?” One of the Four Half-Saints, a short and stout man about the age of 50, shouted with anger.

The other three Half-Saints all sped up to race forward as well.

Meanwhile, a sound message of Yan Kongming passed to the four Half-Saints’ ears silently. He talked to them, “Half-Saint Liexin, Half-Saint Yaohai, Half-Saint Wancheng and Half-Saint Xuanyi, you don’t stand a chance to become the Banner Lord at all. Why don’t you work with me and help me become one? I would give you each one saint rock once we succeeded.”

The short and stout man, called Half-Saint Yaohai, gave a sneer. “You want to pay us off with just one saint rock each? Do you think that we are beggars?”

“Two saint rocks each. If you agree, we would help you,” Half-Saint Xuanyi passed his voice message to him.

The sum of the wealths of a First Level Half-Saint was just enough to purchase one or two saint rocks.

Therefore, two saint rocks meant a lot. And there would be eight saint rocks adding up for four Half-Saints.

Yan Kongming clenched his teeth hard, and finally agreed after hesitating for a while. “Okay. I will agree to this. Once we arrive at the middle of the mountain, you four should act to kill Ning Guihai for me. As for Bai Yu, I will deal with him by myself.”

Half-Saint Haiyao also stared at the back of Zhang Ruochen, and asked, “The boy sent by Discipline King Haiming is also an eyesore. Should we finish him first?”

“He’s no big deal. Only Bai Yu and Ning Guihai are our real threats. Don’t spoil my chance on some small figures,” Yan Kongming said gloomily.

Yan Kongming and the four Half-Saints had used the method to silently pass their words. But Zhang Ruochen had heard everything they said clearly as his ears were embedded with the Deity Print.

“Planning to work together? Then I should slow down.” Zhang Ruochen had some plans, so he smiled and slowed his pace again. Before long, he had fallen behind the Half-Saint Yaocheng, Half-Saint Xuanyi, Half-Saint Wancheng and Half-Saint Liexin.

He would let them fight first as they wished.

Under Poluo Mountain, Blue Night saw that Zhang Ruochen had fallen behind, frowning. “Gu Linfeng’s cultivation is too low. He has exhausted his power, and has no hope to win the position of the Banner Lord.”

“It can’t be helped. Who could tell that the Son of Deity and the Saintess would join the test?”

Blue Night and Ji Shui stopped hoping. After all, the result had been settled in their eyes, and the process wouldn’t matter anymore.

The Son of Deity of the Blood God Sect was the first to have arrived halfway up the mountain. Then he disappeared in the clouds.

The clouds were filled with poisonous miasma which could corrode the body of the Half-Saints. Even the Son of Deity had to slow down to climb up cautiously, releasing his Saint Soul Territory.

After him, the Saintess of the Blood God Sect, Bai Yu, Ning Guihai and Yan Kongming entered the poisonous misama in the clouds gradually.

Yan Kongming took two scarlet red iron tokens out from his pocket, pouring the Holy Qi inside.

With a wave of his arms, the two iron tokens flew to Bai Yu and Ning Guihai separately.

Boom. Boom.

36 inscriptions shaped of iron chains, which were as thick as bowls, rushed out from the tokens to fall down from midair to reach the ground, enveloping Bai Yu and Ning Guihai.

“Locking-Saint and Sealing-Devil Formation.”

Bai Yu was a little shocked, standing in the Formation. He stared at Yan Kongming, and said coldly, “Yan Kongming, how dare you! Do you want to pick a fight with both me and Ning Guihai?”

Yan Kongming was a Half-Saint of both Martial Arts and Spirit. He had reached the peak of the broadsword technique and battle formation.

Yan Kongming laughed, “Only one of us can reach the mountaintop today. That person is me.”

Ning Guihai put on a cold, murderous look. He gave Bai Yu a look. “Since he is so proud of himself, let’s fight together to kill him first.”

“Okay!”

Bai Yu pinched his hand into a sword sign to display Sword One. Wth a cracking noise, the Locking-Saint and Sealing-Devil Formation was opened. And Bai Yu assaulted Yan Kongming from his left.

Ning Guihai took out a one-meter-long dagger made of a dragon tooth to crack the formation, racing to Yan Kongming as well.

“Ning Guihai, you should fight with us.”

Four strong figures rushed forward ahead of him to surround Ning Guihai. They each played one move of their martial arts, pressing on him.

They were Half-Saint Yaohai, Half-Saint Wancheng, Half-Saint Xuanyi and Half-Saint Liexin.

The collaboration of the four brought Ning Guihai into great trouble. He couldn’t do anything but try to take defense. It was true that Ning Guihai had a good command of assassination. But once he exposed himself on the ground and was ambushed, he couldn’t display much of its methods. Even his speed dropped down.

Seven Half-Saints fought intensely halfway up Poluo Mountain to churn the poisonous miasma and fog, making rumbling noises. Giant rocks were pushed down from time to time.

Zhang Ruochen arrived halfway up the mountain with a steady pace. He restrained his Qi to the minimum, bypassing the battle of the seven Half-Saints.

Then Zhang Ruochen sped up to chase the Saintess of the Blood God Sect ahead of him.

Hearing the zoom, the Saintess of the Blood God Sect turned to looked at her back. When she found it was Zhang Ruochen, she put on an enchanting smile. “When the snipe and the clam have a quarrel, the fisherman has a winning game. The boy doesn’t have a high cultivation, but he is witty.”

Zhang Ruochen’s current speed was only a little slower than that of the Saintess of the Blood God Sect and the Son of Deity.

“Darn! Someone has surpassed us!” Yan Kongming was the first to have noticed Zhang Ruochen’s shadow. Anger flashed in his eyes.

Bai Yu stared at Zhang Ruochen above, and sneered, “The man is ambitious. He acted so weak that we let our guards down in the beginning. But in fact he’s very powerful. His speed is even a little faster than mine.”

Yan Kongming and Bai Yu stopped fighting with each other. They took the shape of two shooting shadows to follow Zhang Ruochen above them.

Boom.

Ning Guihai perceived the crisis as well. So he borrowed the power of the Blood God Venomous Worm to burst out a strength of a Fifth Level Half-Saint.

A wave of his Dragon Tooth Dagger had thrown all four of the Half-Saints at the peak of Third Level backwards.

Zoom.

With the help of the Blood God Venomous Worm, Ning Guihai displayed his speed to the utmost. He soon surpassed Yan Kongming and Baiyu, like a grey lightning bolt.

Both Yan Kongming and Bai Yu used the power of the Blood God Venomous Worm as well to burst out the speed of a Fifth Level Half-Saint to reach the mountaintop.

“Let’s get rid of the boy at the Second Level of the Half Saint, in case he should take the advantage over us once we fall in fights again.” Yan Kongming spoke, annoyed.

Ning Guihai, Bai Yu and Yan Kongming reached an agreement to kill Zhang Ruochen first.

“It’s true that they all have taken the Blood God Venomous Worms.”

Zhang Ruochen saw the three human shadows coming closer to him, feeling agitated. He thought about using the power of the Blood God Venomous Worm as well.

The power of the Blood God Venomous Worm was truly strong, but it could only last for about fifteen minutes at best. After the fifteen minutes, the monks would be back to their original states.

Zhang Ruochen didn’t want to borrow the power of the Blood God Venomous Worm unless it was absolutely necessary.

Zhang Ruochen raised his head and saw the Saintess in front of him. An idea came to his mind. He poured all his Holy Qi into the saintly meridians in his legs, accelerating his speed.

The Saintess of the Blood God Sect had been caught up with a Whirlpool Marshland, which was about 300 meters long, advancing with great difficulty at a speed only 10% of her original speed.

They must pass the Whirlpool Marshland before reaching the mountaintop.

Zhang Ruochen soon arrived at the rim of the Whirlpool Marshland, rushing to enter it with no hesitation.
