Chapter 943: Taking Advantage of the Saintess

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

Boom!

The power of the whirlpool marshland was more scary than Zhang Ruochen had thought. Although both feet stepped on the ground, his body couldn’t stop shaking. And it wasn’t easy to even move his arms.

Powerful undercurrents were flowing everywhere, acting on him. With a mistake, he would lose his balance because of the flush of the undercurrents, and be thrown out of Poluo Mountain.

But Zhang Ruochen could master the power far better than the other Half-Saints. Even the Saintess of the Blood God Sect couldn’t compare with him.

Therefore, after entering the whirlpool marshland, Zhang Ruochen was more at ease. His speed became two times as fast as that of the Saintess of the Blood God Sect. Soon he reached her back, keeping a distance less than ten meters away.

The Saintess of the Blood God Sect looked back at Zhang Ruochen, then Bai Yu, Ning Guihai and Yan Kongming behind him, feeling annoyed.

It was clear to the Saintess of the Blood God Sect, Zhang Ruochen followed her deliberately to borrow her strength, in order to restrain Bai Yu, Ning Guihai and Yan Kongming.

“Do you want to die?”

Freezing cold Qi spread out from the body of the Saintess of the Blood God Sect.

The nine rings of saint light surrounding her also kept shaking like nine layers of white water waves, giving out strong energy waves.

To some extent, Zhang Ruochen was totally using her.

As a Saintess, how could she not feel angry?

Zhang Ruochen didn’t pay attention to the warning of the Saintess of the Blood God Sect, and kept following her. He even shortened the distance to only six meters behind her.

Behind him, Yan Kongming’s eyes were bloodshot. He growled, “What a cunning boy! He must have followed right behind the Saintess of the Blood God Sect to keep us from assaulting him. Otherwise, I could kill him with just one chop.”

A strong murderous will appeared on the face of Ning Guihai. “We can’t wait. Once we let them get out of the Whirlpool Marshland in advance, we will never catch up with them.”

“But the Saintess is very close to him. If we hurt her by mistake, what should we do?” Bai Yu was worried.

Ning Guihai said, “You two have also taken in the Blood God Venomous Worms. Don’t you know your results if you couldn’t become the Banner Lord? In that case, are you still afraid of offending the Saintess?”

“Once we threw the boy at the Second Level and the Saintess out of Poluo Mountain, we would have two more vacancies.”

To take the position of the Banner Lord, Yan Kongming, Bai Yu and Ning Guihai planned to risk their lives. They would have to fight the Saintess.

Yan Kongming was the first to attack. He held a two-meter-long blood broadsword to chop at the back of Zhang Ruochen with a Qi of blade shaped like a crescent.

Zhang Ruochen felt the energy waves behind him, and dodged to his right to avoid the Qi of the blade by pressing down to the ground with both feet.

Boom.

The powerful Qi of blade hit the Saintess of the Blood God Sect, and collided with the nine rings of saint light to have crushed the two outer rings of them.

The Saintess of the Blood God Sect was a Third Level Half-Saint. But she didn’t have the Blood God Venomous Worm inside. So her strength was about the same as that of Yan Kongming plus the Blood God Venomous Worm.

Assaulted by the powerful Qi of blade, the Saintess of the Blood God Sect lost her balance and almost got hit by an undercurrent.

Luckily, she had practiced a top physical technique called the Lost Butterfly Pace to display it immediately. With her two snow white feet stepping in the void and long legs changing their positions, she was like a light colorful butterfly or an extremely beautiful fairy dancing gently to resolve her crisis.

“How dare you, Yan Kongming? To assault me? Do you think that with the power of the Blood God Venomous Worm, you can fight the Saintess?”

Yan Kongming showed no fear. “I just wanted to attack the person behind the Saintess. I’ve hurt Your Highness by mistake. Please do not blame me, Your Highness.”

The Saintess of the Blood God Set bit hard on her white silver teeth, and smirked. “You knew that you could hurt me by mistake, and yet you did. Why should you make excuses?”

Ning Guihai said coldly, “The test of the Nether Heavenly Palace is to select the best from the fights. You are the distinguished Saintess, but now also a member of the test takers. Why can’t we attack you?”

The Saintess of the Blood God Sect stopped all of a sudden. Her bright eyes like stars stared at the three behind him. “So you do want to challenge the Saintess. Alright, I will give you the chance.”

The extremely pretty eyes had a terribly enchanting power to have even distracted Bai Yu, Ning Guihai and Yan Kongming for a minute, when they looked at her.

If they were outside with no restraint of the wards, the Saintess of the Blood God Sect could have chopped their heads in the short time of their distraction.

The three dared not to look at the eyes of the Saintess of the Blood God Sect, after they came back to themselves, soaking in sweat.

Zhang Ruochen gave a look to them and kept moving forward, intending to walk out of the Whirlpool Marshland.

“You want to leave before the Saintess leaves?”

The Saintess of the Blood God Sect turned around and looked at Zhang Ruochen. Her five slender and soft fingers pinched into a claw to grasp the shoulder of Zhang Ruochen through the void.

Her move was weird and changeable, forming more than one hundred shadows, and making it hard to tell the real claw print from the shadows.

Creak.

Zhang Ruochen shook his body with a tremble of his spinal column, using a crafty power to form more than one hundred human shadows to avoid all the claw prints.

The Saintess of the Blood God Sect was a little shocked as she didn’t expect the boy to have mastered the power to dodge from her Xuanyin Capture Claw.

At the minute when the Saintess of the Blood God Sect prepared to attack again, Zhang Ruochen stopped first, and smiled at her. “Since Your Highness wants me to stay, I will stay for now.”

Zhang Ruochen wasn’t really fearful of the Saintess of the Blood God Sect and he chose to stay. Rather, he worried that if he went too far away from the Saintess, Ning Guihai, Bai Yu and Yan Kongming would assault him wantonly. Even the Saintess of the Blood God Sect would probably deal with him as well.

He couldn’t resist the ambush of the four powerful figures with his current state.

The Saintess of the Blood God Sect saw that Zhang Ruochen listened to her words, and she put away her Holy Qi for the minute.

But Ning Guihai, Bai Yu and Yan Kongming didn’t want to let the perfect timing go. They went forward to attack the Saintess of the Blood God Sect almost simultaneously.

“Pardon me, Your Highness!”

Bai Yu displayed a Consummate Skill of the sword techniques to throw a saint sword out. The saint sword turned into a shooting light to go through the Whirlpool Marshland.

Bang!

The saint sword collided with the saint light surrounding the Saintess of the Blood God Sect to break through three layers of the saint light to crush them. They changed into raindrops of the light dripping in the sky, looking extremely beautiful.

The Saintess of the Blood God Sect reached out one slender hand to defend the saint sword of Bai Yu in her front, stopping it in midair and preventing it from moving to her.

The Qi of blade chopped by Yan Kongming, and the Dragon Tooth Dagger played by Ning Guihai, both fell on the Saintess of the Blood God Sect as well.

Bang! Bang!

The rings of the saint light kept crushing, making a series of exploding noises.

Soon, the true self of the Saintess of the Blood God Sect was revealed, as all nine layers of saint light crushed downward.

It had to be said that the Saintess of the Blood God Sect was truly an unparalleled beauty, looking to be 17 or 18. She had a layer of blood red gauze on. Her black and bright hair was bound by a blue ribbon. Her body was like a sculpture of fairy jade, flawless.

Even the three powerful figures who were attacking her fell into dullness and slowed down, seeing the beautiful look of the Saintess of the Blood God Sect.

Taking the chance, the Saintess of the Blood God Sect raised her two slender hands. Two strong strands of blood Qi released from her palms turned into two blood rivers to throw the saint sword of Bai Yu, the blood broadsword of Yan Kongming and the Dragon Tooth Dagger of Ning Guihai backwards.

“Oops…”

The Saintess of the Blood God Sect burst out so much strength that she was hit by an undercurrent in the whirlpool marshland. She lost her balance completely to be thrown out of Poluo Mountain.

Zhang Ruochen was standing beside the Saintess of the Blood God Sect. When she went up, one of her slender and round pretty legs almost touched Zhang Ruochen’s head.

Zhang Ruochen raised his head slightly to have seen the two white legs, and moving up, even to see the bluish white underwear underneath her blood gown. The scene was extremely seductive.

Zhang Ruochen didn’t want to see the scene in front him, but had seen it unconsciously. He didn’t realize that the Saintess of the Blood God Sect was in so little clothing.

He felt a little awkward, and averted his eyes. At the same time, he reached out one hand to grasp one white foot of the Saintess of the Blood God Sect.

Then he threw the Saintess of the Blood God Sect out of the Whirlpool Marshland to land on the ground, with the great strength of his arm.

Although a little awkward, the Saintess of the Blood God Sect finally stood up and stabilized herself.

But her eyes were full of slaughter. She stared at Zhang Ruochen walking out of the Whirlpool Marshland, and attacked his eyes with a claw, as if she was gonna pick the eyeballs out of their sockets.

Zhang Ruochen shifted away instantly to avoid the attack of the Saintess of the Blood God Sect. Puzzled, he asked, “Your Highness, didn’t I help you just now…you should have been thrown out of Poluo Mountain. Why should you hit me?”

Whoosh.

Nine rings of saint light appeared around the Saintess of the Blood God Sect again, covering up her lithe and graceful body completely.

A cold voice sounded from the saint light. “Why? You should be clear about that. If you dig out your eyes and chop your hands by yourself, the Saintess will spare your life.”

“Nonsense.”

Bai Yu, Ning Guihai and Yan Kongming all had crossed the Whirlpool Marshland to surround Zhang Ruochen in three directions.

The Saintess of the Blood God Sect smiled, standing on the highest position. “Alright! They will deal with you. The Saintess is going to leave now.”

Turning into a slender shadow, the Saintess of the Blood God Sect soon reached the mountaintop of Poluo Mountain. She picked up one black battle flag and held it in her hand.
