Chapter 1072: All Efforts In Vain?

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

The Blue Eagle Beast King cried out in pain. It was heavily injured. Practically all the bones in its back were broken. Blood containing great power flowed out of it, forming a small swamp of blood.

Everyone was floored, their eyes widening. They stared at the young man standing on the Blue Eagle Beast King’s back. He was too domineering. He’d repressed a Beast King directly.

In the Yingsha City battle earlier, the Beast Kings had killed human Half-Saints like squashing ants. No one could counter them.

Countless strong human cultivators had become food for the Blue Eagle Beast King. Now, it was suffering and couldn’t even pick itself up. It was tragic.

Shangguan Xianyan’s glossy red lips opened slightly. Shock filled her eyes. Faced with the current Gu Linfeng, she actually felt like she couldn’t breathe.

Wei Longxing was the main plotter for assassinating Gu Linfeng, but Shangguan Xianyan had had similar thoughts before too. She’d even used her power to force him away in an attempt to control the Blood God Sect.

If Gu Linfeng really wanted to take revenge, he wouldn’t let her go.

Fortunately, I didn’t attack him first. Instead, I was friendly to him many times. Maybe there’s still a chance to fix this.

Actually, Shangguan Xianyan still had some trump cards. She wasn’t exactly powerless. However, Gu Linfeng wasn’t alone. He had many people behind him, each with overpowering strength.

In the Blue Dragon Void World, Gu Linfeng and his people could entirely combat a middle-age clan. Shangguan Xianyan wasn’t confident in continuing to go against him.

One Lion Camel Beast King roared in anger, spitting out rings of deafening sound waves. “Humans, I’m warning you. Release the Blue Eagle Beast King now, or else you will die.”

With one hand behind his back and the other wearing the Seven Kill Boxing Glove, Zhang Ruochen’s eyes flashed coldly. “I’m afraid you aren’t qualified to kill me.”

“Presumptuous!”

Two Lion Camel Beast Kings started moving their huge bodies, rushing toward Zhang Ruochen. They wanted to save the Blue Eagle Beast King while killing this crazy human to protect the beast kings’ reputations.

A phoenix’s cry sounded in the sky. Layers of white clouds turned red under the heavenly fire.

A slender figure appeared in the fiery clouds. Wearing a Fire Phoenix Robe and holding a sword, she flew out quickly. “Gu Linfeng, don’t have any concerns. Kill this Beast King immediately and show the might of the humans.”

Wan Huayu was very handsome as she flew down. As soon as her war boots touched the ground, hundreds of feet in radius of the desert turned into a blazing fire. She struck with her sword, blocking a Lion Camel Beast King.

She’d used her trump card one more time to help Zhang Ruochen kill the Beast Kings. The Fire Phoenix’s marks appeared on every inch of her body. She released power enough to fight a Beast King.

Shangguan Xianyan pursed her lips. “Disciples of the Blood God Sect,” she said. “Together, stop the beasts and help the Deity kill the Beast Kings.”

The Saint elder of the Blood God Sect looked at her, surprised and confused. In the end, he still charged and used a saint spell to knock down another Lion Camel Beast King.

There were a few powerful beasts above Grade Six. As descendants of divine beasts, their combat abilities were only a bit weaker than the Blue Eagle Beast King. Their targets were obvious. They went directly toward Zhang Ruochen and the Blue Eagle Beast King.

However, the leaders of the Shangguan Clan and Cai Family went over immediately and stopped them.

A battle between the humans and beasts erupted once again. It was a chaotic and intense fight.

“He even…suppressed a Beast King?”

Wei Longxing stared at Zhang Ruochen. His throat was dry as he felt extreme danger. He couldn’t accept this. Once Gu Linfeng took care of the Blue Eagle Beast King, he would be the next target.

He couldn’t sit and wait. He had to attack first.

Poof!

Wei Longxing raised his arms. Five-colored light shot out of his hands, forming two clouds.

He’d received a big opportunity in the Void World Battlefield. He’d found Five-Elements Saint Armor from the middle ages. Using pointers from the weapon spirit, he’d cultivated an ancient saint spell.

It was called the Five Elements Battle Technique.

Wei Longxing pressed onto the ground. His fingers dug into the sand and he released one of the techniques—Earth Battle Technique.

A huge burst of energy flooded out of his hands. It spread hundreds of feet away in the ground.

Kaboom!

Close to Zhang Ruochen and the Blue Eagle Beast King, the ground shook. Sand flew up, consolidating into a yellow mountain that pressed down. This Earth Battle Technique magnified Wei Longxing’s power by 36 times.

Only a saint spell could counter another saint spell.

Zhang Ruochen used the Seven-Apertures Blood Palm. He formed a blood-red palm print and swung it at the mountain.

Kaboom!

The mountain shattered immediately. Sand rained down to the ground.

Wei Longxing spat out blood and retreated without being able to stop. His organs burned in pain. He suffered some internal injuries.

While Zhang Ruochen split his power to defeat Wei Longxing, the Blue Eagle Beast King under his feet screamed and spat out a blue pearl the size of a human’s head.

The blue pearl was a bone sharira of an ancestor of the Snow Mountain Blue Eagles, transformed into a battle treasure. It could release both powerful combat ability and defensive powers.

Earlier, it was this bone sharira that had fended off Zhang Ruochen’s attack, saving its life. Now, the Blue Eagle Beast King saw that Zhang Ruochen was distracted by Wei Longxing, so it spat out the bone sharira to attack. It wanted to turn the tides.

“Go die!” the Blue Eagle Beast King yelled in anger.

Zhang Ruochen was surprised. He immediately activated the Ten Saints Blood Armor, wrapping it around him. He folded his arms, forming a blood-red defensive light shield.

Boom!

The bone sharira passed through the light shield and crashed against Zhang Ruochen’s arms, sending him flying. He fell into the yellow sand, arms in extreme pain. It was fortunate that he’d cultivated his saintly arms. Otherwise, they would’ve been disabled.

The Blue Eagle Beast King wasn’t much weaker than Zhang Ruochen and it had snatched the opportunity, using its strongest attack to kill Zhang Ruochen. However, he had the saintly arms and the Ten Saints Blood Armor. He blocked the bone sharira, ruining its plan.

When the Blue Eagle Beast King realized that it couldn’t kill Zhang Ruochen, it immediately retrieved the bone sharira. It unfurled its large blue wings and flew into the sky to escape.

“Blood God Sect Deity,” it uttered. “I will remember you and devour you one day.”

All the humans present were furious. They’d united and had a chance to kill a Beast King. However, Wei Longxing had secretly attacked Gu Linfeng because of private conflicts, allowing the Blue Eagle Beast King to escape.

This was infuriating!

“We were only a step away from killing the Blue Eagle Beast King. If we succeeded, this would intimidate the beast groups and make them fear acting impulsively. All efforts are in vain now.”

“Wei Longxing is so despicable. Now I’m doubting if he’d really killed the Firegold Raven Beast King.”

…

Wei Longxing’s actions incited everyone’s anger. Because that strike hadn’t killed Gu Linfeng, Wei Longxing also knew that there was no more place for him now.

He used a physical technique and escaped into the distance. He’d already used up his saint decree when chasing Zhang Ruochen and couldn’t use it anymore. He could only use his own power to flee.

The Blue Dragon Void World has countless Genius Treasures, Wei Longxing thought as he escaped. If I can find a few of the legendary items, I might be able to surpass Gu Linfeng.

If he could get any of the legendary items, he could reach the level of the nine Heirs.
