Zhang Ruochen was prepared, so he grabbed Mu Lingxi’s hand and cast the Spatial Move. They escaped from the spatial crack and appeared behind Half-Saint Shuntian.

Half-Saint Shuntian didn’t know that his own power had shattered the space. He just thought that it was a spatial attack by Zhang Ruochen.

“Junior, you think that a spatial attack can tie me down?”

Half-Saint Shuntian roared and bolts of lightning shot forward out of his chest. Using the recoil, he stopped his physical technique. He pushed off in the air, wanting to retreat.

Zhang Ruochen had already calculated this. He naturally wouldn’t miss this chance to get rid of a powerful enemy. As long as he killed Half-Saint Shuntian, he wouldn’t have to fear the other Vampire Half-Saints.

The stronger the power that burst from Half-Saint Shuntian, the more the surrounding space shattered. In the end, only one gap remained.

Half-Saint Shuntian was also very anxious. He activated his physical technique to the max and rushed towards the opening.

“You still want to escape?”

Zhang Ruochen waved his arm. He opened a spatial crack, creating a huge crack, and appeared before Half-Saint Shuntian. No matter how high Half-Saint Shuntian’s cultivation was, he couldn’t react fast enough. With a poof, his body was split in half by the spatial crack.

A Vampire’s vitality was very strong. Even when split in half, he could still come back to life.

The two halves of Half-Saint Shuntian flew in one direction as he roared, “Junior, you dare fool me?”

Kaboom!

Extreme power burst from Half-Saint Shuntian’s body. Zhang Ruochen, Mu Lingxi, Shi Ren, Han Xue, and even the other five Vampire Half-Saints were thrown into the air.

Mu Lingxi’s reaction was the fastest. She waved her arm quickly and tossed a crystal ball to the space above Half-Saint Shuntian’s head. Thin white threads immediately shot out of the crystal ball. They formed a large net around the two halves of Half-Saint Shuntian’s body.

“Collect.”

Mu Lingxi flew back. At the same time, she closed her five slender fingers. The large net wrapped around Half-Saint Shuntian and shrunk back quickly.

If Half-Saint Shuntian was at his prime state, he might have been able to stop the net with his strong cultivation. But now, his body was split in half and all his meridians had broken. He couldn’t use Holy Qi at all.

“I…will not…surrender…” Half-Saint Shuntian roared, gritting his teeth.

The net’s threads were sharp. As the net shrunk, it sliced Half-Saint Shuntian’s body into shards of flesh. The large net soon shrunk into the crystal ball.

Mu Lingxi retracted her arm. The crystal ball flew back and hovered above her palm. There was a puff of white smoke within the crystal ball. It was Half-Saint Shuntian’s Half-Saint Light.

“Sky Silkworm Crystal Ball.” Zhang Ruochen recognized Mu Lingxi’s saint weapon and smiled. “You actually received this treasure. You’re quite lucky.”

Mu Lingxi raised an eyebrow and rolled her eyes. She smiled proudly. “You aren’t the only one that can get treasures. You’ve only seen the tip of the iceberg of my methods.”

No matter what, this great enemy had died in the end. Everyone was relieved. What had just happened had been too quick. The other Vampire Half-Saints hadn’t even processed everything by the time Half-Saint Shuntian died.

Even though Half-Saint Shuntian was about to die from old age and his Qi had weakened greatly, he was still a fifth level Half-Saint. How could he die by the hands of two Fish-Dragon Realm Monks?

Feng Han remained calm. He looked to the cliff and saw that the shattered space was gradually recovering. He finally found something wrong.

Looking at the other Vampire Half-Saints, he said, “There’s something wrong with the spatial structure here. Hurry and leave. Don’t fight here.”

“Want to escape? It’s not that easy.”

Zhang Ruochen attacked first. He pointed at Feng Han with his right hand. With a whoosh, the Abyss Ancient Sword flew out. Radiating with powerful Sword Qi, it turned into a streak of light and attacked Feng Han’s back.

At the same time, Mu Lingxi cast the Sky Silkworm Crystal Ball again. It formed a large net that wrapped around a first level Half-Saint.

Shi Ren waved his sleeve and cast ten runes. They lined up in the air, forming ten fiery walls, blocking the Vampires’ escape route.

The demon rat pounced at a second level Half-Saint. Because it was so fast, it bit off the Half-Saint’s left arm before he could react.

Blackie released the 26 Half-Saint battle corpses from the spatial ring. They lined up in a huge formation and surrounded two Vampire Half-Saints.

This was a Saint-level group battle. The surrounding space kept shattering and dozens of cracks opened up. The force was enough to shake the world.

Zhang Ruochen and Feng Han’s fight was the most intense. They both used all their might without holding back.

Two silver wings sprouted from Feng Han’s back. He entered his strongest state. Holding a Hundred-pattern Saint Weapon sword, he cast dozens of powerful sword techniques in a row.

As Sword Saint Xuanji’s disciple, Feng Han was obviously talented in the Tao of Sword as well. He was about to complete Sword Three.

Poof!

A beam of red Sword Qi cut across Zhang Ruochen’s chest. It clashed against the Shooting Star Invisibility Cloak and created red-hot sparks.

“Zhang Ruochen, you still need years of practice to fight against my sword.” Feng Han’s hair was standing up. Wielding his sword with both hands, he hacked down on Zhang Ruochen’s head.

The power contained in the sword saint formed dozens of powerful Sword Qi. They made dozens more cracks in the space while sweeping down at Zhang Ruochen.

Zhang Ruochen didn’t show any fear. He stood firmly in his spot and released his Space Domain.

“Spatial Freezing.”

Faced with someone as strong as Feng Han, Zhang Ruochen must go all out. He didn’t keep any trump cards hidden.

The power of Spatial Freezing spread out quickly. Similar to Time Stop, it slowed Feng Han’s Sword Qi by half a beat.

Now was the time…

Zhang Ruochen cast his physical technique and passed through the slit between the beams of Sword Qi. Fully activating his Holy Qi, he stabbed at Feng Han’s forehead.

The tip of the Abyss Ancient Sword zoomed in Feng Han’s eyes.

“Hundred Beast Tripod.” Feng Han used his powerful cultivation to break the frozen space.

A blood-red light lit up between his eyebrows. A small black tripod flew out and hovered before him. The Hundred Beast Tripod was the size of a fist, but it was very detailed. It had an ancient feeling to it.

Close to 100 souls of savage beasts flew out of the tripod. They blanketed Feng Han’s body and blocked Zhang Ruochen’s fatal attack.

“Ha! Zhang Ruochen, I admit that your spatial attacks are very strange and mysterious, but your cultivation is still a bit off.”

Feng Han laughed loudly. He filled the Hundred Beast Tripod with Holy Qi. Raising a hand, he pressed down. The 100 beasts solidified. As if they’d come to life, they roared and growled.

Zhang Ruochen’s eyes hardened. Huffing coldly, he said, “Divine Dragon Change.”

Zhang Ruochen activated the power of the dragon bead. Scales grew on his skin and blinding light surged from his body. It formed a ball of light hundreds of feet wide.

Roar!

He transformed into a golden dragon. He flew out of the ball of light and stretched his two huge and sharp claws. He attacked Feng Han continuously.

Thud, thud.

Each strike that landed shook the Hundred Beast Tripod. It forced Feng Han to retreat endlessly until he reached the edge of the cliff.

Just then, another Vampire Half-Saint died a horrible death and fell in a puddle of blood.

Hearing the pained cry in the near distance, Feng Han’s pressure grew. Looking back at the cliff, his eyes grew cold. Zhang Ruochen’s helpers are all powerful, he thought. Half-Saint Yicheng, Half-Saint Hongyi and the others can’t stop them at all. Once they have time to attack me together, I might not be able to escape. In that case, why don’t I take a risk?”

Thinking of this, Feng Han no longer hesitated. He collected the Hundred Beast Tripod and jumped down the cliff.

“Zhang Ruochen, if I don’t die this time, I’ll disable you in our next confrontation. I’ll steal your woman too so you can taste pain!” Feng Han’s voice came from the bottom of the cliff.

Whoosh!

The golden dragon turned into a gold streak. Landing at the edge of the cliff, it solidified into Zhang Ruochen.

He looked down the cliff. “I won’t let you escape this time,” he said.

Without hesitating, he also jumped down the cliff to pursue Feng Han. He believed that he must kill this senior brother apprentice who had lied to and killed their master. If he couldn’t kill Feng Han, he couldn’t move past his anger.

“Zhang Ruochen.”

Mu Lingxi glanced at the abyss and happened to see Zhang Ruochen jumping. Worry appeared in her starry eyes. She immediately collected the Sky Silkworm Crystal Ball and transformed into a beautiful figure. She also followed him down the cliff without hesitating.

No one knew how dangerous the bottom of the cliff could be. It was possible that jumping down meant death.

But because of hatred and love, Zhang Ruochen and Mu Lingxi chose to jump without hesitation. From this, one could see the difference between them. One lived for revenge while the other lived for love.

Those were the most important things in their hearts.

The moment Zhang Ruochen jumped, a huge pressure weighed down on him. He lost control of his body and plummeted down faster. If he continued to fall like that, even the strongest body would be crushed into ground meat.

Zhang Ruochen took a deep breath. He took out the Golden Snake Divine Rapier, Abyss Ancient Sword, and Taotian Sword all at once. Casting a sword technique, the three swords went into a stair formation and stuck into the side of the cliff, one below the other. This way, Zhang Ruochen could charge down by stepping on the sword hilts.

Just then, he saw a pale and slender figure flying down. It was Mu Lingxi.

How is she stupid enough to pursue me…

Zhang Ruochen sighed quietly. His inner feelings were troubled.

Mu Lingxi naturally saw Zhang Ruochen on the side of the cliff too. Joy colored her eyes. Her hand reached for the Abyss Ancient Sword’s hilt. With a whoosh, a silver-white chain flew out, wrapping around the hilt.

“Die!”

Just then, Feng Han flew out of a hollow spot. Wielding his saint sword, he hacked down at the center of the chain.

“Careful!”

Zhang Ruochen’s expression changed. Ignoring everything else, he pushed off from the side of the wall. He jumped down and kicked Feng Han’s chest. Two handprints hit Feng Han’s head at the same time.

With a crack, a bloody vein opened up on Feng Han’s skull. The next moment, Zhang Ruochen and Feng Han both sped up, plummeting downward. They were quickly swallowed by the black ghost fog.

“Zhang…Ruochen…” Mu Lingxi screamed. She clutched the chain with one hand and hung off the side. Despair quickly took over.

Tears surged out of her eyes and rolled down. Then a bright yet piercing sound left her mouth.

Deep inside her blood, an ancient and divine power awoke. The remaining divine power in Ghost God Valley flowed into the Sea of Qi between her eyebrows.

She transformed into a 100-meter-long Ice Phoenix. As if the ancient phoenix had awoken, she spread her huge icy wings and flew down the cliff.
