“Damn it. How can I possibly fight Chu Siyuan? That Princess Luosha is just trying to use me to check Chu Siyuan. I can’t believe anything Princess Luosha says.”

Qiu Yu was pissed, but sadly, he didn’t have a choice but to fight Chu Siyuan.

He couldn’t go back to Kunlun’s Field anymore, so he couldn’t lose the support of Princess Luosha.

…

Princess Luosha threw out the Merits Record Wall, which flew in the sky like a stone mountain.

Zhang Ruochen rushed toward the Merits Record Wall and jumped up.

He immediately felt a great danger going after him, so he took out the Monument Shield to ward it off.

Boom!

A saint sword hit the Monument Shield, forming circles of energy ripples, knocking Zhang Ruochen away.

The saint sword flew back to Sword Master Dongliu’s hand.

There was a boat engulfed in flames under Sword Master Dongliu’s feet. He was wearing iron armor, and his eyes were gleaming.

That boat was made of the wood of a saint tree which was a supreme saint. If the inscriptions in the boat were triggered, the boat would become a large ship with great defense power.

There was a teenager sitting at the end of the boat, glowing with saint light. His eyes were blood-red.

He was the priest of Hell Blade Field, Xue Lingfeng.

Zhang Ruochen stood on a branch of the Divine Phoenix Tree and said, “Why are you here?”

“We’re, of course, here to seize the Merits Record Wall. We don’t want Hell Blade Field to be ranked last, and we can probably get first place in the Saints Merits Battle.”

Sword Master Dongliu said, “Fang Yi and Yue Kong are leading a large group of saints from Hell Blade Field and Purple Mansion Field to fight the Luosha armies. We’re only here for the Merits Record Wall and Ice and Fire Phoenix inheritance.”

Xue Lingfeng smiled. “Thanks for the message, by the way, otherwise we wouldn’t have known the Luosha race deployed three million marquises to Zuling Field. However, the Merits Record Wall will decide the fate of Hell Blade Field, so we have to fight for it.”

“You shouldn’t have come here. You might both get killed. “Zhang Ruochen looked up and saw the Merits Record Wall falling into the ocean. He then rushed forward like a trace of light.

Whoosh!

Sword Master Dongliu performed human sword, flew out of the boat and rushed to stop Zhang Ruochen.

Meanwhile, Xue Lingfeng rushed to the Merits Record Wall.

Bang Bang!

This wasn’t the first time Zhang Ruochen fought Sword Master Dongliu, so they both knew each other’s skills and moves.

Two sword shadows kept clashing with each other, raising the waves on Cold Ocean. Thousands of traces of sword Qi filled the ocean.

Zhang Ruochen exchanged more than two hundred moves in three seconds.

“I’ll take your Sword Technique of Time again, Zhang Ruochen.”

Sword Master Dongliu was defeated by Sword Technique of Time last time, so he’d been thinking about a way to crack it.”

He eventually found out there were only two ways to deal with it.

The first method was to get out of the time domain before Zhang Ruochen performed Sword Technique of Time.

The second method was to strike first to prevent Zhang Ruochen from performing it.

Sword Technique of Time was flawless, but Zhang Ruochen wasn’t.

“I’ll have my chance.”

Zhang Ruochen looked to Xue Lingfeng, and he saw that Xue Lingfeng didn’t get the Merits Record Wall, as he’d encountered a powerful enemy.

His enemy looked familiar. It seemed he was from Tianmu Field.

Obviously, all the Shatuo Seven Fields sent at least one top-tier being to seize the Merits Record Wall and Ice and Phoenix Inheritance while they were fighting Luosha armies.

Where did the other great beings go?

Zhang Ruochen reckoned the great beings from Great Devil Ten Square Field and Eight Ministry Field sent their great beings to the Phoenix Nest as they were the strongest ones. As for Hell Blade Field, Kunlun’s Field, and Tianmu Field, they were relatively weak, so they wanted to get to the top in the Saint Merits Battle, so they would go for the Merits Record Wall first.

Sword Master Dongliu’s cultivation had improved again, as he was very close to a half-step saint king now. He managed to hold off Zhang Ruochen for a long time, giving Xue Lingfeng enough time to seize the Merits Record Wall.

“There must be other great beings from the Luosha race coming. I need to finish the fight quickly.” Zhang Ruochen took out the Buddha sarira and put his palm on it. And then, tens of thousands of Buddha characters gushed out of the sarira, forming a golden dragon that was more than a thousand feet long.

The original power of the supreme saint merged with the golden dragon.

Sword Master Dongliu stepped back hundreds of feet. He held the sword above his head, and then, the phantom of a supreme saint emerged at the tip of the sword. Its original power gushed out.

That saint sword was also a supreme saint ancient weapon.

Boom!

The golden dragon and the phantom of the supreme saint clashed with each other, and they neutralized each other’s power.

Meanwhile, Zhang Ruochen performed Time Technique of Sword, hitting toward the heart of Sword Master Dongliu like a trace of light.

“No…”

Right after Sword Master Dongliu realized what happened, he felt a cold power piercing through his body.

It was Zhang Ruochen’s Abyss Ancient Sword.

Even though Sword Master Dongliu’s original body was a human being, he was still injured. He was knocked more than ten miles away by the sword’s power.

“I was defeated… Again…”

Sword Master Dongliu found it difficult to accept his defeat. He was the great talent who had never been defeated in Purple Mansion, yet he was crushed after coming to the merits battle, first by Princess Luosha, then by Zhang Ruochen twice.

It was a huge blow to his confidence.

Zhang Ruochen said while glaring at Sword Master Dongliu, “Both Time Technique of Sword and Zhang Ruochen are flawless. If you want to defeat me, finish Sword Eight first.”

Whoosh!

Zhang Ruochen then rushed to where Xue Lingfeng and Li Mu were fighting. The Merits Record Wall was floating above the battlefield, and a wind was preventing it from falling.

Li Mu was a half-step saint from Tianmu Field. He was stronger than Mad Man.

Zhang Ruochen stopped when he was only three miles away. He mobilized his saint Qi and grabbed forward, trying to seize the Merits Record Wall using spatial twist.

Xue Lingfeng and Li Mu stopped fighting, attacking Zhang Ruochen at the same time.

Zhang Ruochen frowned. He had to stop trying to get the Merits Record Wall and performed space power to crush the space around Xue Lingfeng and Li Mu.

They weren’t able to fight against the space power, so they had to try to dodge the crumbling space.

“Come.”

Zhang Ruochen grabbed the Merits Record Wall, and then, he took out the bottle which contained lots of Luosha fragmented souls to turn them into merits.

“Don’t you dare, Zhang Ruochen.”

Xue Lingfeng took out a five-foot fan, triggering the ten thousand inscriptions on the iron. He flapped the fan, and then, wind blades flew out.

Li Mu performed a saint spell, forming a phantom of a black snake. Suddenly, the sky above Pluto Winter Cold Ocean turned dark.

Sword Master Dongliu wielded his saint sword, triggering its original power.

The three great beings attacked Zhang Ruochen at the same time to stop Zhang Ruochen from exchanging merits. Once he succeeded, Guanghan Field would top the list, then Zhang Ruochen would destroy the Merits Record Wall, which meant there would be no chance for them to change anything in the Saint Merits Battle.

Zhang Ruochen opened almost all of his one-hundred and forty-four apertures, and saint Qi gushed out, holding Buddha sarira. The golden Buddha light emanated from the sarira, covering the Merits Record Wall.

Guanghan’s Field’s merits kept surging.

However, the defense formed by the sarira was being crushed by the three great beings, so time was precious now. Even a breath of time could decide how things ended.

The supreme saints, half saints and billions of other creatures in Guanghan Field were the most anxious.

They could see the danger Zhang Ruochen was facing, and they could see their merits changing.

COMMENT

“Quick! Quicker!”

“Why do I feel like the merits are increasing so slowly?”

“Please hold them off, Zhang Ruochen!”

…

Even the supreme saints were holding their breath, as they couldn’t be more worried.

After a short while, the merits of Guanghan Field surpassed those of Great Devil Ten Square Field, getting to the first place.

All the creatures in Guanghan Field yelled in excitement. Some of them were shouting Zhang Ruochen’s name, some were tearing about on the streets, and some crushed the tables in restaurants.

They were acting manically because of how exhilarated they were.

The supreme saints from Guanghan Field also guffawed.

As long as Guanghan Field could top the Saints Merits Battle, it wouldn’t be rendered the next battlefield, which meant they would survive longer.

Zhang Ruochen was relieved and smiled. He then raised his head and saw that the defense golden light only had one last layer.

He then performed spatial move and vanished with Buddha sarira.

The attacks of Sword Master Dongliu, Xue Lingfeng, and Li Mu all hit the Merits Record Wall, making deafening sounds.
