Chapter 914: The Critical Situation

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

To be seen and respected as the next Clan Leader of the Ancient Race of Prison Guardians, Wang Jie must have possessed extraordinary ability. His body was the White Bone Saint Body which could adapt to all battles at any realm.

The nature of his body allowed him to refine any metal which would be beneficial to strengthening his body.

Both the White Bone Divine Swords on his palms were forged using the Enchanted Gold, Mithril, Darksteel and many other rare metals.

An explosive Sword Intent surged through Zhang Ruochen’s body and swallowed up Wang Jie.

The two swords Wang Jie were holding jerked, as if trying to be released from his grips and flew over to Zhang Ruochen.

“What’s happening? Is Zhang Ruochen close to becoming a Sword Saint? No, that’s not possible.”

Only a Sword Saint’s Sword Intent had the ability to control the opponent’s Divine Sword, and win it over for his own usage.

While Zhang Ruochen’s Sword Intent was not as strong as a Sword Saint, there was significant progression indeed.

It’s only a matter of time for him to achieve the Saint level.

“You can’t defeat me, why waste your time and energy?” said Zhang Ruochen.

“Zhang Ruochen, I know you are very powerful. But you are only a Level One Half-Saint, and I am a Level Five Half-Saint. Our difference ain’t that much.”

Wang Jie channeled his Holy Qi to regain control on his pair of Divine Swords, then performed the Sword Two.

The attack created two opposing forces, the fire and the ice, splitting the whole hut into two extremes.

Wang Jie’s strength was equivalent to Feng Qin’s.

He could have been the rival of Zhang Ruochen a month ago. But not anymore.

Zhang Ruochen shook his head lightly, then charged toward Wang Jie using the Luan Phoenix Deity Print Speed.

The hut was filled with scintillating light from the sword. When it flickered, the Abyss Ancient Sword had already been pushed through Wang Jie’s chest.

The attack might seem simple and straightforward, yet it was one of the moves in the Nine-Life Sword Technique, called the Green Sea Blue Sky move. Not only did it contain enormous energy, but it was also unpredictable to the rival.

The strength of the Sword Two technique Wang Jie performed was nowhere near Zhang Ruochen’s attack.

“This is … the Nine-Life Sword Technique …”

Wang Jie widened his eyes in disbelief. Never once did he expect Zhang Ruochen to have mastered the Nine-Life Sword Technique.

He went from being defensive to attacking Zhang Ruochen with the Sword Defending Technique by hurling his Divine Swords Duo forward.

The pair of Divine Swords flew in separate ways to avoid parrying the Abyss Ancient Sword, and went straight to attacking Zhang Ruochen from both sides.

Meanwhile, Wang Jie took out two rune scrolls and held them tightly in his palms.

The two rune scrolls exploded into ripples of energy which kept branching off into new layers. Eventually, nine layers of energy walls were formed.

Bam!

The Abyss Ancient Sword ruptured the first layer of the energy wall, then the second, followed by the third …

It finally halted at the eighth layer, but kept its tip up against the last two layers of defense.

At the same time, the pair of Divine Swords were thrusting toward Zhang Ruochen at full speed.

He must stand away to avoid the fatal stab.

Wang Jie smiled smugly. He knew if Zhang Ruochen swayed away, he could launch another attack repeatedly.

He would be gaining the upper hand in the battle.

The Second Prince of the Immortal Vampires watched from aside, nodding in satisfaction, and muttering to himself, “Wang Jie is rather talented. His achievement in sword techniques is indeed outstanding.”

However, what the Second Prince of the Immortal Vampires and Wang Jie never anticipated was, Zhang Ruochen took a step forward and pushed the Abyss Ancient Sword forward, rather than dodging Wang Jie’s attack.

The Abyss Ancient Sword penetrated through the remaining two layers of the energy wall, and went right into Wang Jie’s chest and ripped through his back, leaving a neat diamond-shaped hole.

At the same time, the pair of Divine Swords went through Zhang Ruochen from each side of his body.

To everyone’s surprise, Zhang Ruochen faded away and disappeared, as though he was only a vision.

Indeed, it was true. The real Zhang Ruochen was already on his way to escape the hillside, for he had performed the Spatial Move before anyone noticed.

“Zhang … Zhang Ruochen … I cannot … accept this …”

Wang Jie stared at the puncture wound in his chest, trembling. Hardly able to walk, he took a few steps back and then fell to his back, and at last no more signs of life appeared.

The Elephant-swallowing Rabbit sprinted to the body, then ripped off his lower abdomen, devouring the Half-Saint Light down in a loud, slurping gulp.

“How dare you rob away the Half-Saint Light in front of me!”

The Second Prince of the Immortal Vampires’ face turned gloomy, and within a split second, he was already standing by Wang Jie’s body. His claws were stretched out to grab the rabbit’s neck.

However, the rabbit’s speed was faster than his. It avoided his fatal claws in a flash, then ran towards the exit, catching up with Zhang Ruochen.

“That was fast.”

The prince stared at his palm, astonished at the rabbit’s speed. Then, he waved at the entrance of the hut, and commanded in his deep voice, “Stop them! Do not let them leave the hillside.” The Hallucination Spell that was cloaking the hillside twisted a little.

More than ten Immortal Vampires revealed themselves, extending their massive wings and flying toward the exit in a swarm, cornering their targets from all sides.

“Spatial Break!”

Zhang Ruochen pointed in front of him.

Without any warning, the space above the Immortal Vampires formed shattered cracked lines.

Following that, the space caved in and collapsed, swallowing all of the Immortal Vampires, shredding them into a bloody mess.

Those Immortal Vampires who died were some of the stronger, if not strongest among the clan. One of them was even a Level Six Half-Saint.

Zhang Ruochen landed on the back of the Elephant-swallowing Rabbit. He was performing the Sword Defending Technique using both the Abyss Ancient Sword and the Taotian Sword, launching repeated attacks on the remaining Immortal Vampires who were after them.

“Eye of the Deity Print.”

Zhang Ruochen activated the Eye with his Holy Qi.

With the help of the deity print, Zhang Ruochen found the cloaked exit of the hillside, and said immediately, “Guoguo, the exit is on your left. Head over there at your fastest speed!”

The Rabbit knew how unfavorable the situation would be if they continued to be trapped in the hillside. It had to sprint to the exit.

Its current speed was on par with a Level Nine Half-Saint.

“Don’t worry, Master Zhang, we will get there at the count of three.” The Rabbit’s four limbs were on fire, and its eyes were like two glowing orbs.

Within a short while, more than twenty Immortal Vampires had been killed, all because of Zhang Ruochen. Blood flowed like a river in the area where the bodies lay.

Those Immortal Vampires hidden at the hillside were the elites specially chosen to be part of the ambushing troop. Their cultivations were at least of the Seventh Change of the Fish Dragon Realm.

Each of their deaths was a huge loss to the Immortal Vampires.

A piercing loud whistle was heard. It was the Prince blowing away his Blood Qi in a mighty torrent pouring toward Zhang Ruochen,

The rush of the torrent was close to catching up with Zhang Ruochen and the Elephant-swallowing Rabbit.

“Zhang Ruochen, where else do you want to escape to?”

The Prince’s voice echoed through the stream of Blood Qi, and the resonance of his roar coalesced into a beast.

The beast was covered with scales with tusks protruding past its jaw, looking similar to an ancient beast called Suanni.

Zhang Ruochen lifted his head to have a better look at the humungous beast, and was very surprised. He thought: It’s amazing that he has cultivated the Suanni’s Saint Soul into a Battle Soul!

A huge paw with extended claws hovered over Zhang Ruochen, and it was about to grasp him along with the Rabbit.

The Second Prince had achieved Level Six in his half-saint’s cultivation. His strong body, coupled with the Suanni’s Battle Soul, was unbeatable, even for a Level Seven, or Eight Half-Saint.

Under this situation, it would do more harm than good if Zhang Ruochen was to challenge him.

“Spatial Twist!”

Zhang Ruochen clapped his hands. The surrounding space was twisted and severely bent.

The paw that was initially above him had missed its target, and landed on his right instead.

Of course, the paw landed with a deafening crash, and the ground beneath it cracked.

Zhang Ruochen remained on the back of the Elephant-swallowing Rabbit. He took out a black pill and hurled it straight at the Second Prince who was on the chase.

The black pill exploded in midair, releasing tons of the highly toxic Evil Death Qi into the air.

The Second Prince of the Immortal Vampires knew about the consequence of inhaling the Evil Death Qi. His facial expression changed while thrusting a palm strike forward, and he bounced off the strong contact between the palm and the Evil Death Qi.

But things were less fortunate for the other Immortal Vampires. They were consumed by the Evil Death Qi, and then a series of blood curdling screams were heard.

By this time, Zhang Ruochen and the Rabbit had already exited the boundary where the Hallucination Spell was casted.

“Damn you.”

The Second Prince stomped his foot, then yelled, “Zhang Ruochen has escaped! We cannot wait any longer. This is the moment. March toward the army of the Ancient Race of Prison Guardians and take down at least thirty thousand soldiers before they realize there is an ambush!”

The Hallucination Spell soon faded away, and thousands of the Immortal Vampires appeared at the front of the hut. Some were standing, some were crouching on the roof, and some were hanging on the trees.

Following the command of the Second Prince, the Immortal Vampires extended their wings and flew toward the Golden Sparrow City.
