Before he could buffer, Banner King Wuliang’s legs hit hard on the ground.

Boom.

Rocks on the ground were broken, leaving thick crevices.

Strong as the human body of Banner King Wuliang was, his legs numbed and his body almost fell apart after the strong crash.

Banner King Wuliang raised his head to see that, above him, Gu Linfeng was falling down rapidly with a pair of golden dragon wings.

“Now is my only chance to give him a fatal strike before he lands on the ground.”

Banner King Wuliang suppressed his pain to step hard on the ground with both legs. He jumped up to more than 30 meters high, and poured all his Holy Qi into the Seven Saint Snake Lance.

The Seven Saint Snake Lance expanded ten times to become a golden column. It went to hit the rapidly falling Zhang Ruochen.

Such strong power Qi piled up like ripples.

“Isn’t it too late for you to fight back now?”

Colorful brilliance gushed out from Zhang Ruochen’s body, making a chaotic cloud of Qi.

Zhang Ruochen rushed out from its center. He held the Abyss Ancient Sword with both hands, exerting the power of his every muscle to chop beneath him.

The great strength threw the Seven Saint Snake Lance away.

The swift and fierce sword light came from the left shoulder of the Banner King Wuliang, and flew out from his right ribs. It landed on the ground, leaving a long sword road.

Zhang Ruochen landed on the ground smoothly. He waved his arms. Then one drop of blood on the sword flew out.

Far away, the Seven Saint Snake Lance fell on the ground, making a thud noise. It had broken the ground, leaving a giant pit.

The body of Banner King Wuliang was chopped in two in midair. Then it fell down beside the Seven Saint Snake Lance.

“Who…who are you?”

Banner King Wuliang’s eyes were empty. He moved his lips weakly.

“Zhang Ruochen.”

Zhang Ruochen stared at his half body, said indifferently.

“Ah…it’s…it’s you…”

The face of Banner King Wuliang lost color and became more ruthless. He operated his last strand of Holy Qi, trying to explode his lower abdomen.

The Abyss Ancient Sword gave a vibration. It flew like a ray of black light to stab the Qi ocean between Banner King Wuliang’s brows, nailing him into the earth.

Zhang Ruochen raised his finger to call the Abyss Ancient Sword back.

Then he walked to Banner King Wuliang to search his body. He found nothing special other than some recovering pills and blood pills.

The world of the First Gradient was black, quiet and cold. It was so dark that you couldn’t see your hands in front of you.

According to Banner King Wuliang, there were many blood beasts living in the First Gradient. And several powerful figures of the Immortal Vampires had come to the First Gradient as well. Therefore, this place must be crisis-ridden, not safe at all.

So Zhang Ruochen didn’t take out the Spiritual Crystal to illuminate, but to use his Heavenly Eyes to observe the environment.

“With spiritual power terribly restrained, the Heavenly Eyes could only detect an area of 500 meters in diameter.”

Figures above the state of Half-Saint could skip the 500 meters in a blink to attack Zhang Ruochen, with the power exploding from their human bodies.

He’d better be cautious under such circumstances.

Zhang Ruochen picked up the Seven Saint Snake Lance to hold it in hand. Meanwhile, he wrapped up his body with the Shooting Star Invisible Cloak to restrain the Qi of his whole body.

Zhang Ruochen searched the area for fifteen minutes. He found the Heavenly Devil Print, and a white chess piece.

There was blood stain on the chess piece.

“This is…”

Zhang Ruochen pinched the chess piece to sense it carefully. He perceived a strand of Qi of the Saint Lady.

“The Saint Lady surely has fallen to the First Gradient. Could…could she have been eaten up by the blood beasts?” Zhang Ruochen frowned. His hand held the Seven Saint Snake Lance even more tightly.

But soon, he found that the blood stain on the chess piece was somewhat unusual. Its shape was like an arrow.

“Maybe, the Saint Lady didn’t die, but left the chess piece deliberately to point to her?”

Zhang Ruochen stood up to look in the direction poined to by the chess piece.

A large part of the reason that he came to the First Gradient was for the Saint Lady. Now that he had some clues, however impossible it could be, he should walk on to have a try.

“If the chess piece had truly been left by the Saint Lady, other chess pieces could be found along the way.”

Zhang Ruochen picked up the Seven Saint Snake Lance, rushing in the way pointed to by the chess piece in big steps. Each step took him dozens of meters away.

About five kilometers away, Zhang Ruochen found another chess piece.

It was put under a black icy rock, which was about 50 kilograms in weight, pointing in another direction.

Zhang Ruochen laughed when he found the second chess piece. “I knew it! The Saint Lady can’t be killed so easily. She had so many protective treasures on her, enough to keep her alive.”

But beside the second chess piece, there were some footprints of the blood beasts and much blood, apparently the leftovers of a fierce battle.

Not only blood of the blood beasts, but also that of the Saint Lady.

The corpse of the blood beast had changed into a more than ten-meter-long skeleton. Each of its bones was as thick as Zhang Ruochen’s lap.

Apparently, other blood beasts had passed here and devoured the dead one.

It wasn’t for certain.

“The blood stain should have been left one month ago. The Saint Lady must have been wounded severely.”

Zhang Ruochen went on searching. He displayed his fastest speed, wanting to find the Saint Lady at the earliest time possible, instead of finding her corpse or bones.

Later on, Zhang Ruochen found one chess piece every 50 kilometers.

The way that the Saint Lady walked was not straight. It seemed that she was in exile.

Zhang Ruochen encountered a blood beast on his way to the Saint Lady.

The blood beast was a Cloud Gold Beast, which was more than 100 meters tall. It lay on its stomach like a hill.

Its original golden scales had turned blood red. Each of its breaths had turned into a hurricane to blow away the sand and rocks on the ground.

Zhang Ruochen didn’t disturb it in the Shooting Star Invisible Cloak.

Once it was awake, Zhang Ruochen might not leave alive, even though his human body was very strong.

Zhang Ruochen had found 21 chess pieces, and finally gotten close to the Saint Lady.

The blood stain on the 21st chess piece was fresh, which should have been left just yesterday.

Clear footprints could be seen on the ground. Each was startlingly stained by blood.

How strong should the mind of the Saint Lady be that she had carried on for such a long time without falling down?

Searching forward, Zhang Ruochen soon saw the corpse of a Red Tiger. Weak breaths was heard behind the corpse. The Saint Lady was alive.

The Saint Lady heard the footsteps behind her. She was delighted and worried at the same time.

Was someone coming to save her, or to kill her?

In the next second, a young man with a Seven Saint Snake Lance in hand appeared in front of her.

Wasn’t the Seven Saint Snake Lance the saint weapon of the Son of Deity of the Blood God Sect? How could this man have it?

Was he a member of the Blood God Sect?

The Saint Lady was wounded so severely that she could do nothing other than crawl on the ground and tremble in the coldness, like an injured little sprawl abandoned in the world of ice and snow.

She didn’t stand a chance to defend herself if the man were to try to kill her.

But the young man didn’t kill her. He took off his coat to cover her soft wounded body.

Then he took out a recovering pill to put in her mouth.

The young man looked at her with gentleness. “You are badly wounded. Say nothing, I will cure you.”

A very familiar look.

But the Saint Lady now was befuddled, and couldn’t figure out where she had seen this pair of eyes before.

Then, a warm and soft big hand grabbed her cold little hand to pour a strand of Holy Qi into her palm.

The Saint Lady recovered gradually.

Light came back to her black eyes. She looked at the young man carefully, and finally remembered where she had seen his eyes before.

Her heartbeat sped up.

It’s hard to believe that the vision in her mind had come to life.

Was that him?

The Saint Lady opened her lips slightly, smiling with irony. “Am I…am I in a dream? Or, rather, have I been dead?”

Zhang Ruochen looked at her eyes, and said, “If I found you later, you would probably have died for real.”

The Saint Lady closed her eyes. The corners of her lips raised up a little, as if she was enjoying the moment and didn’t want to wake up. Once she opened her eyes, maybe everything would disappear.

“Are you Zhang Ruochen?”

Finally, she asked this, wanting to know if she was right.

She was surely glad that someone had come to save her. But, if the person was Zhang Ruochen, its meaning would be totally different.

So the Saint Lady was quite nervous now. Her pretty teeth bit her lower lip. She stared at the stranger with eagerness.

Zhang Ruochen didn’t reply to her. He stopped pouring the Holy Qi into her palm to stand up and look away.

Immediately he clutched to the Seven Saint Snake Lance, and shouted, “Come out! What’s the meaning of hiding in the dark?”

The laugh of the Second Royal Prince of the Immortal Vampires was heard in the dark. “We are not hiding. We’ve just come a little later than you.”

Zoom.

A fire elemental spiritual crystal the size of a fist flew out to light up the area, changing the surroundings into a dim area.

Four shadows of the Immortal Vampires closed in on Zhang Ruochen and the Saint Lady from four different directions.

“It’s the Immortal Vampires…”

The Saint Lady was alarmed. She wanted to stand up, but she was too weak to move her legs.

“You rest now. I’ll handle it.” Zhang Ruochen gave her a firm look.

The look was full of confidence.

The Saint Lady nodded slightly like a little girl. She couldn’t understand why she enjoyed the feeling of being in such a crisis. She felt like she was eating a candy, sweet and warm.

The Second Royal Prince of the Immortal Vampires stared at Zhang Ruochen. “Are you with the Blood God Sect?”

“Yes,” said Zhang Ruochen indifferently.

The Second Royal Prince of Immortal Vampires said, “Does the Blood God Sect want the Vampire Secrets as well? But you are too weak. Even if you have found the Saint Lady before us, you will be just another corpse.”
