Chapter 1019: Die

The Monks at the banquet were all shocked. Who would’ve predicted this result?

Both Yuan Zhi and Jun Wuyi were very powerful figures in the Sacred City. They’d never suffered such a defeat.

Even more shocking was that both the Yuan and Jun Saint Clans had Saint figures present at the banquet today. The golden masked man had dared to injure them so heavily. Wasn’t he afraid of dying here in the Cai Family Saint Mansion?

The previous two battles had attracted the attention of those noble figures in the center.

Cai Yunji, second daughter of the Cai Family, looked worried. “That man could defeat Jun Wuyi. With such powerful Spiritual Power, he’s definitely not an independent cultivator. At the very least, he’s the heir of some saint clan. He may even be the secret card trained by some hidden family.

“Sixth brother, go talk to Crown Prince Chi. It’ll be best if they can resolve the conflict so the Cai Family won’t attract unnecessary trouble.”

Cai Jinglun, sixth son of the Cai Family, shook his head. “Second Sister, the situation has already developed to this point. Do you think it’s possible for Crown Prince Chi to step back?”

Cai Yunji looked in Chi Yutang’s direction. She indeed saw that murderous intent was obvious on Chi Yutang’s face. It was evident that he was truly furious. If a member of the Cai Family went to stop him now, wouldn’t they also offend Crown Prince Chi?

One was the Crown Prince of the royal family. One was a mysterious young man. The Cai Family obviously knew who was more important.

Cai Jinglun looked like he had everything under control. “The Cai Family shouldn’t get involved. Crown Prince Chi should resolve this by himself.”

The members of the Cai Family present naturally followed Cai Jinglun’s suggestions. Since he’d made this decision, the others couldn’t say anything else.

Unlike Chi Yutang, Wan Huayu still had a pretty smile on her face. She grew more and more curious about the golden masked man. How could such a powerful Spiritual Power figure appear out of nowhere in the Sacred City?

With a dark expression, Chi Yutang yelled, “General Guo, this man purposely hurt someone at the Cai Family’s banquet. Won’t you punish him?”

Guo Lu, one of the top ten generals of the Canglong Army, was subordinate to the Lingxiao Heavenly King Mansion. He naturally listened to Chi Yutang.

With a roar, Guo Lu raised his hands at once. Two dense bursts of purple Qi surged out of his palms. They shook the entire lake.

In the distance, Xue Sanyi shrunk a little. “Is Guo Lu going to use the Purple Blazing Palm?”

“The Purple Blazing Palm is one of the nine saint spells of the Lingxiao Heavenly Palace. Apparently, if a Saint uses it, the sky within thousands of miles will be covered in purple Qi. If he hits the ground with a palm, it will cause an earthquake.”

“Guo Lu saved the young Chi Wansui before. That’s why he was able to learn the Purple Blazing Palm.”

“Guo Lu has cultivated the Purple Blazing Palm to the fifth level and can unleash 26 times the power. It’s close to a saint spell’s power.”

As a Ninth Level Half-Saint, Guo Lu was at the top of the world below the Saint Realm. However, he used his strongest skill upfront. This showed that he really wanted to kill the man with the golden mask.

Many people mourned for Zhang Ruochen. They thought that he was too arrogant and wild. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be dying in the Cai Family Saint Mansion.

Some of the elders used Zhang Ruochen as a reverse example to educate the juniors present. “Young people need to know when to back down, such as bowing before a figure like Crown Prince Chi.”

“Purple Blazing Palm!” Guo Lu roared. Wind and thunderous sounds came out of his palms as he struck toward Zhang Ruochen’s back.

He’d directed all his palm power to a point. This way, the Purple Blazing Palm would be even stronger.

Sizzle.

The lotus platform beside Zhang Ruochen couldn’t take the heat of the purple flames. It started burning and quickly turned to ashes.

“You’ve cultivated the palm technique well, but unfortunately, your strength isn’t enough.”

Zhang Ruochen quickly turned around and sent out the fist power that he’d already accumulated. “First move of the Luo Water Fist Technique, Dividing the Sky and River.”

As he punched, apparitions of waves actually appeared behind Zhang Ruochen with crashing sounds.

The fist and palm collided with an earth shaking sound.

Zhang Ruochen took a step back. Then he stepped forward and charged at Guo Lu. “Second move of the Luo Water Fist Technique, Nine Twists and Turns.”

Guo Lu was shocked inwardly. He hadn’t expected the other would be a powerful Spiritual Energy cultivator, and would also be so strong in the Fist Way.

Two balls of purple flames appeared in Guo Lu’s hands again. They transformed into two clouds of purple fire as he hit them forward.

Guo Lu was in the beginning of the Ninth Level of the Half-Saint Realm. His own power was indeed stronger than Zhang Ruochen. However, Zhang Ruochen’s fist technique was more advanced. The power he unleashed was stronger too, reaching 32 times the combat ability.

This was why Zhang Ruochen had a slight advantage.

The 36 moves of the Luo Water Fist Technique was a complete set. Each move was stronger than the other and its might kept increasing, forcing Guo Lu to keep retreating.

“Twelfth move of the Luo Water Fist Technique, Thousand Flying Waterfalls.”

When this fist landed, it directly tore through Guo Lu’s saint soul territory. He spat out blood and retreated hundreds of feet.

Zhang Ruochen didn’t show any intention of letting Guo Lu go. He charged forward and hit out three more fists.

“Thirteenth move of the Luo Water Fist Technique, Reversed Rainbow.”

“Fourteenth move of the Luo Water Fist Technique, Hundred Rivers Competing.”

“Fifteenth move of the Luo Water Fist Technique, Sky and Water Aligned.”

The three fists were performed in one breath. Guo Lu spat out three mouthfuls of blood. His organs were all severely injured and he flew back.

Smoothing his sleeves, Zhang Ruochen walked over and stepped onto Guo Lu’s chest. “Do you know to respect people now?” he asked coldly.

At that moment, everyone held their breaths and widened their eyes. It was as if they’d just seen the most impossible thing in the world.

Guo Lu, one of the top generals of the Canglong Army and a top figure below the Saint Realm, had been thrown to the ground.

If news of this spread, it would definitely shake the entire Sacred City.

Elite figures streamed out of the small island in the lake’s center to hurry toward Zhang Ruochen. The other banquet-goers retreated to the distance, afraid of getting affected.

Zhang Ruochen continued to step on Guo Lu’s chest. His spine was straight and he radiated with a sharp aura.

Chi Yutang walked to the front. Staring at Zhang Ruochen, he huffed coldly. “No wonder you’re so arrogant. You have Headmaster Luo Xu of the Eastern Region Saint Academy supporting you.”

Many people recognized that Zhang Ruochen had used the Luo Water Fist Technique and that he’d already cultivated it to the sixth level. It was obvious that the golden masked man had received the true inheritance of Luo Xu.

“Let go of Guo Lu and I’ll forgive you once because of Headmaster Luo Xu,” Chi Yutang said.

Chi Yutang was the Crown Prince of the royal family, but he didn’t dare offend someone like Luo Xu either. It would be very disadvantageous to him if this conflict continued.

“Apologize,” Zhang Ruochen said.

“What did you say?” Coldness gleamed in Chi Yutang’s eyes.

“I told you to apologize immediately,” Zhang Ruochen said. “If you do it quickly, I might even let him go.”

Chi Yutang was surprised but quickly recovered and laughed in extreme anger. “People have only ever bowed down to me. You are the first person who dares to tell me to apologize. Kill him. If you can do it, then kill General Guo and see if Headmaster Luo Xu can save you.”

The Monks behind Chi Yutang all had mocking expressions. No one believed that Zhang Ruochen dared to kill Guo Lu.

After all, Guo Lu belonged to the Ministry of War and was a lower regional king titled personally by the Empress. Who would dare to kill him so publicly?

In everyone’s opinion, even Luo Xu would have to think carefully before killing Guo Lu.

Zhang Ruochen’s lips curled up. With a ghost of a smile, he stomped down.

Crack.

The bones of Guo Lu’s chest cracked and caved in. His internal organs were all turned into ground meat. Even his saint soul was crushed under Zhang Ruochen’s foot—completely destroyed.

Seeing this, the jaws of all the Monks present dropped. Their minds went blank and they all turned to stone.

Thirty-six beautiful girls in colorful feathery robes stood in the center island. They stood there, paying close attention to Zhang Ruochen and Guo Lu.

They were top dancers from the Phoenix Dance Palace. Each one had one-in-a-million looks and they were all in the Fish-Dragon Realm. The Cai Family had spent many Spiritual Crystals to invite them to dance at the banquet.

Half of them were pale from shock now. However, some of the young girls were very calm. Instead, their pretty faces were filled with appreciation.

One 18 or 19-year-old girl sent a telepathic message to a veiled dancer. “Great. Guo Lu is finally getting what he deserves. We’ve planned seven times and lost a dozen Half-Saint seniors but couldn’t kill him. I didn’t think he would die at the Cai Family.”

The veiled dancer stood in the center of the group. She emanated a calm aura. Because of her amazing body and snowy skin, she stood out even from the dozens of beauties.

Her eyes were very bright and lively. “Guo Lu is indeed powerful,” she replied telepathically. “Even if I attack personally, I still might only have a 20 or 30% chance of killing him. The man who killed Guo Lu must not be a simple or nameless man.”

“Who cares who he is, as long as he can kill Guo Lu?”

The veiled dancer was still calm. Shaking her head, she replied, “I suspect that he purposely did this to kill Guo Lu.”

“How is that possible? Doesn’t he know that he’ll die too if he kills Guo Lu?”

“Before we came to the Cai Family Saint Mansion,” the veiled dancer said. “Zhang Fengxing went to the Phoenix Dance Palace to find me. He said a Half-Saint figure with a golden mask will want to see me. According to his descriptions, the man he met is very possibly this man who killed Guo Lu.”

“Does that mean he’s possibly on our side? What should we do? He killed Guo Lu so he’ll be a wanted criminal. It’ll be useless even if we try to save him.”

The veiled dancer grew thoughtful. Her pretty eyes stared at the man with the golden mask in the distance. “This man is so powerful. He must not be an impulsive man. I’m sure he has another hidden trick.”
