Chapter 1743: Blood and Tears

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

The group of Angels was chased by the Trifoot Carnivorous Insects and ran everywhere. However, the Trifoot Carnivorous Insects stuck to them and dug into their bodies, eating furiously.

Blood-chilling cries echoed across the lake.

When the cries disappeared, all of the Angels had been eaten by the Trifoot Carnivorous Insects.

Whoosh!

A dozen Spiritual Power clones flew out of Zhang Ruochen. They collected the saint weapons and storage containers left behind by the Angels.

They were all good things that could be sold for saint stones.

The demon rat laughed loudly. “Lord Blackie and Lord Chen are so powerful. You could kill 16 Heaven Field figures so easily. These tactics, these skills, I’m so impressed… Lord Chen, what are you—”

A Spiritual Power clone picked up the corpse in the lake that had been cut into six pieces and brought it before Zhang Ruochen.

He placed a finger on the unharmed head and started investigating. “The Sea of Qi wasn’t destroyed and his saint soul was preserved. He hasn’t died completely. There might still be hope.”

This broken corpse was the Kunlun’s Field cultivator just killed by the sixth step Saint King.

However, this guy was quite impressive. He’d gotten hit by a sixth step Saint King’s sword technique, but it had missed his Sea of Qi and he’d saved his saint soul.

This was the only way he could have a chance of coming back to life.

Zhang Ruochen released his Spiritual Power to put the broken pieces together. Then he took out a green lotus.

It was even greener than jade and shone with green light.

The greenness contained powerful Vitality Qi and wrapped around the six pieces.

A moment later, the pieces connected as one. The vitality grew stronger and stronger. Blood started flowing, the eyes opened, and the body walked out of the light.

This half-step Saint King was a regional king of the imperial court. Even though his body had been cut apart, his saint soul had stayed awake. He’d thought that he would die soon and didn’t imagine that Zhang Ruochen would save him.

In the Tianluo Dojo, the regional kings had all bullied Zhang Ruochen, saying he was a traitor and didn’t qualify to enter Kunlun’s Field. Now, he felt unspeakable guilt.

How could the Kunlun’s Field’s traitor save him?

Zhang Ruochen’s generosity made him feel very insignificant.

“Thank you.” He bowed to Zhang Ruochen, no longer feeling disdain or animosity. Instead, he was impressed.

From now on, if anyone dared to say that Zhang Ruochen was a traitor, he would be the first to beat them up.

Zhang Ruochen studied the green lotus with suspicion.

Earlier, when he’d activated the lotus, he’d felt subtle strange tremors from the bottom of the lake.

Those tremors disappeared instantly.

“Is it my imagination?”

He released his Spiritual Power to check under the lake and didn’t find anything.

Whoosh!

There was wind.

The Thousand Star Maiden, dressed as a man, appeared above his head and said, “I’ve already used my Origin Eyes to check. One-fourth of all Saint Kings from Heaven Field in the Truth Heavenly Domain are inside the enchantment. Even if you go, you won’t be able to save them. Instead, you’ll kill yourself too.”

“I don’t think this is any of your business,” Zhang Ruochen said.

The Thousand Star Maiden didn’t know why she’d come to stop this annoying man. She just felt that she would be unhappy if he died here. Instead, she would feel like something was missing.

Perhaps, it was because Zhang Ruochen was the first person in the same realm that made her feel a sense of failure.

Even if Zhang Ruochen had to lose or die, he had to lose by her hand, die under her sword.

Lifting her chin, the Thousand Star Maiden said, “I wouldn’t watch anything kill itself, not even a dog, let alone a human like you. Of course, if you insist on it, give me that thing first. Otherwise, if you die and it gets into the hands of Heaven Field, it’ll be troublesome for me.”

Zhang Ruochen didn’t know if she meant the marriage letter or the Mysteries of Truth.

If it was the marriage letter, then Zhang Ruochen had really considered giving it to her. After all, he didn’t have much confidence in this battle either. As for the Mysteries of Truth, he wouldn’t hand them over even if he died.

Blackie, the Amazing Little Taoist, and Ye Honglei all stared at Zhang Ruochen, waiting for his decision.

Chi Wansui’s arms were both disabled. He stood on the lake surface, staring blankly at the Xumi Dojo formed by the illusion. He seemed to be able to see through it to the Kunlun’s Field cultivators inside. They must be suppressed mercilessly by the Heaven Field now and unable to be saved.

His lips kept twitching as his inner heart became embattled.

Under everyone’s shocked eyes, his legs bent and he knelt before Zhang Ruochen. With a low voice, he said, “Zhang Ruochen, save Kunlun’s Field! Only you can save them now. If they all die in the Xumi Dojo, then Kunlun’s Field would really be…over!”

Zhang Ruochen stared at Chi Wansui’s pale and ashen face.

A noble royal like him would actually kneel down before his enemy. This really was beyond Zhang Ruochen’s expectations. Perhaps, the fate and honor of Kunlun’s Field had long surpassed his own dignity and hatred.

The Thousand Star Maiden rolled her eyes, thinking that Chi Wansui was immature. “That isn’t even the Xumi Dojo. It’s a trap formed by an illusion. How can Zhang Ruochen fight against the entire Heaven Field by himself?”

“Zhang Ruochen, just give up!” the Amazing Little Taoist said. “Heaven Field clearly wants to destroy Kunlun’s Field. There’s no reason why we should jump into the trap.”

The capillaries inside Chi Wansui’s eyes were about to explode. He cried tears of blood and yelled, “I’m sorry, Zhang Ruochen… Sorry, our rivalry, I shouldn’t…shouldn’t have used those two kids. If you hate me, you can kill me, but you can’t watch those two kids…die in there…”

How could Zhang Ruochen not hate Chi Wansui?

It was he who urged Chi Kunlun and Chi Kongyue to kill Zhang Ruochen. He was so vicious. No one would know how Zhang Ruochen hurt at that time.

But on the other hand, Zhang Ruochen had killed all of Chi Wansui’s family. How could he not be in pain as well?

If the rivalries from 800 years ago hadn’t happened, then Chi Wansui and Zhang Ruochen wouldn’t be enemies either.

His thoughts battled for a long time before he uttered, “Get up.”

Zhang Ruochen reached out and grabbed Chi Wansui’s shoulder, pulling him up.

At that moment, the power of the green lotus burst out again, entering Chi Wansui’s body.

Poof.

Chi Wansui’s broken arms grew back out. Even his bodily injuries were healing quickly. In the span of a few breaths, he was back to his peak state.

All of the cultivators there were shocked, including Chi Wansui.

What kind of treasure could be so magical?

“I’ll return my arm to you. I’ll wait for you to come take revenge. As long as you have the skills, my life is yours.”

With that, Zhang Ruochen stopped caring about the dazed Chi Wansui. He held the Eight-dragon Umbrella in one hand, the Abyss Ancient Sword in the other, and rushed into the illusion.

“The young are so impulsive. Fine, I’ll go crazy with you one more time.”

Blackie spread its wings and flew into the illusion too. Clearly, it was ready to go to the end with Zhang Ruochen.

The Amazing Little Taoist sighed helplessly. “I’ll just treat it as a challenge. I’ll stir up a storm today too.”

Xie Chengzi, Chi Wansui, and the demon rat rushed into the illusion too.

Ye Honglei wanted to go in too, but the Thousand Star Maiden stopped her.

“You’re an enchantment Saint Master, so why should you go do the killing? Follow me. We’ll go meet the Heaven Field figure who set this up. You can learn some things too.”

The Thousand Star Maiden decided to get involved too, either because she wanted the challenge or because she found it interesting.

…

Inside the enchantment

Most of the Kunlun’s Field’s cultivators had fallen into puddles of blood. Some were stepped on by dwarves holding battle axes. Some were on their last breath. Others had died completely and turned into broken corpses.

This island had turned into scorched earth. It was covered with the blood and tears from Kunlun’s Field.

They’d come with high morale, determined to take back the dojo that belonged to Kunlun’s Field. But after breaking in, they discovered that a large group of Heaven Field figures was waiting. They were all Saint Kings and had more than ten times the numbers.

A trap!

This was a trap set up by Heaven Field!

The cultivators of Kunlun’s Field hadn’t expected this at all, so Chi Kunlun quickly contacted Saint Monk Xumi’s saint soul to activate All Lives Equal.

As long as it was activated, they could at least work to let most of them escape.

But Saint Monk Xumi’s divine power didn’t appear. All Lives Equal didn’t happen either.

Without that support, they were like fireflies compared to the moon when put up against Heaven Field. They were crushed. Defeat was a fact.

Bu Qianfan was pressed under a thunder net by three elven Saint Kings. Scorched black, he half-knelt and yelled, “If All Lives Equal was activated, I’d definitely be able to kill you all with my weapon.”

A beautiful female elf in blue clothing chuckled. “There aren’t so many ifs. Cultivation is everything. Only the weak would put all their hope on All Lives Equal to defeat their enemies. If you write down your techniques and saint spells, I can kill you quickly.”

In the distance, Gai Tianjiao was stabbed in the chest by a Ten-thousand-pattern Saint Weapon and nailed to the ground. Blood flowed out of her injury and dripped onto the ground. An Angel Saint King was searching for her cultivation techniques and spells and interrogating her for secrets about Kunlun’s Field.
