Chapter 1796: Killing Tianjuezi

“RAWRRR!”

Shi Kai was extremely pissed off, as it howled into the air.

Immediately after, wisps of white gas gushed out of the broken palm and leg.

Under the stimuli of the white gas, the rubbles within a radius of several hours meters all flew up toward Shi Kai and merged into its body and reform its left arm and legs.

However, the Supreme Saint wards on both of its palm were shattered now, and Shi Kai’s strength had decreased significantly.

White Zhuque had obviously consumed a lot of Saint Qi in that attack earlier and was unable to continue to spur the Supreme Power of the Pennnanular White Jade Ring. She then deployed a huge pair of Zhuque wings, as she swooped down with a saint sword in hand and slashed at Shi Kai.

Shi Kai spat out a white light beam out of its mouth, and there was a piece of jade of unknown materials within the light that clashed against White Zhuque’s sword.

BOOM!! BOOM!!

BAM!!

The two masters fought almost to a standstill, and White Zhuque actually had the upper hand.

Zhang Ruochen had already retreated to a distance away, as he nodded slightly he said to himself. “The Stone Clan is one of the top three clans in the Infernal Court. While the number of their clansmen are lesser than any of the other three mid or lesser races, but within the same realm, the Stone Clan is quite powerful. ”

“That Shi Kai, with him being at the peak of an Eight-step Saint King, he probably could fight against a Nine-step Saint King of the Lesser Precept-World realm.”

Of course, what surprised Zhang Ruochen more was White Zhuque’s strength. She should only have just broken through the Eight-step Saint King realm not too long ago, yet her combat prowess was quite a bit stronger than Shi Kai.

On the other end, Black Phoenix, who was in a berserk state was fighting head-to-head with Tianmingzi, knocking down mountains one by one and rending cracks all over the ground.

The other few Scions of Tianyuan wanted to help Tianmingzi but could not get into the combat zone. And it was difficult to intervene even with a ranged attack.

So they pointed their blades at Zhang Ruochen.

“Damned cripple, if not for you, both Black Phoenix and White Zhuque would have succumbed to the Saint Worm, and become our thralls.”

For their downed pray to get away, it was really the case of the greater one wishes, the greater the disappointment was. Tianjinzi was furious as his pupils turned golden and a large amount of Saint Path precepts flowed in his eyes.

“Gaze of Destruction.”

Two golden light beams blasted out from Tianjinzi’s eyes, unleashing a powerful, destructive force. Two deep trenches were formed wherever the beams blasted past.

The Gaze of Destruction is a Jingmiao-level intermediate saint technique.

In combination with Tianjinzi’s thirty thousand Saint Path precepts with the saint technique, the attack power unleashed could destroy anything.

Zhang Ruochen opened the Eight-Dragon Umbrella and spun the surface to fight against the two golden beams of light.

VOOSH!

All of the ground, rocks, and vegetation beneath Zhang Ruochen’s feet were all melted into golden droplets in an instant.

At the same time, Tianjuezi took the battle-ax the size of a door and leaped past the Eight-Dragon Umbrella, unleashing the full strength of the Fifth Radiance, and slashed at Zhang Ruochen. The battle-ax exuded five layers of difference brilliance, as a destructive Saint Path power surged out of it.

Zhang Ruochen held the Eight-Dragon Umbrella in one hand as he fought against Tianjinzi.

On the other hand, Zhang Ruochen held the Ancient Abyssal Blade and activated the wards within the sword, and the souls of thirteen elephants appeared on his arm as he slashed back, and met the Tianjuezi’s blow head-on.

Tianjuezi surely was an Eight-step Saint King and was three realms above Zhang Ruochen. This ax blow was so powerful that it blasted Zhang Ruochen into the ground.

WHOOSH!!

Zhang Ruochen burst out of the ground behind Tianjuezi.

Even with the Armor of Words blocking the attack, he was still wounded by the battle-ax, and saint blood flowed down Zhang Ruochen’s right shoulder and flowed along his arms and blade onto the ground.

Tianjuezi turned around and snorted. “You sure are a tough cookie, I’ll kill you within ten ax strikes.”

Immediately after, Tianjuezi once again activated the power of the battle-ax as halos of saint power burst out.

White Zhuque, who was fighting with Shi Kai, saw Zhang Ruochen in a dangerous situation, and immediately sent a telepathic message. “Cripple, you are not their match. Leave now.”

White Zhuque thought that the cripple was holding off Tianjuezi, Tianjinzi, and the rest for them, and said again, “Both Black Phoenix and I are free now, and if we want to escape, they cannot do anything at all. When I’m done with Shi Kai, it will be the death of the Five Scions of Tianyuan. Retreat now, and save your life.”

Zhang Ruochen seemed to not have heard White Zhuque’s voice as he stared at Tianjuezi before him, and said. “Want to kill me in ten ax strikes? You are overestimating yourself.”

Zhang Ruochen roused his Precepts of Truth and merged it together into his blade, and with a slash, the sword flew into the sky.

This sword not only contain the powerful sword force, but it also was also unleashing six times the attack power.

“Hmph.”

Tianjuezi snorted coldly, with some disdain.

But the next moment when the battle-ax and the Ancient Abyssal Blade clashed, Tianjuezi’s expression changed.

The sword in the cripple’s hand was bursting out power like a divine steel mountain and crashed against the giant ax.

Tianjuezi’s entire body shook as he flew backward uncontrollably.

“Precepts of Truth, it’s the Precepts of Truth…unleashing six times the attack power…”

Tianjuezi’s eyes widened, as he spat a mouthful of saint blood onto the battle-ax, and in a very short time, he activated the full strength of the Sixth Radiance.

The full power of Sixth Radiance may seem like just an additional layer of saint power halo than the Fifth Radiance, but its power was many times stronger.

Suddenly, Tianjuezi found that he could not move, as the time around him seemed to have come to a standstill, and the activated full strength of Sixth Radiance could not be unleashed.

On the other hand, the cripple charged it with his sword like a meteor.

SHINNKK.

The Ancient Abyssal Blade sunk into the center of Tianjuezi’s brow, as his head shattered and turned into a cloud of blood mist.

Zhang Ruochen held the Ancient Abyssal Blade and fell to the ground.

BAM!!

Tianjuezi’s headless body too fell heavily onto the ground.

The next moment, the headless body shot up from the ground and swung the battle-ax with the power of the Sixth Radiance toward Zhang Ruochen’s waist.

“His vitality is so strong that he has not died off yet?”

Zhang Ruochen used the Dimensional Shift and avoided the ax blow.

BOOM!! BOOM!!

The ax swept past, and a thousand-meter-high mountain in the distance was sliced in half and collapsed.

Tianjuezi’s Sea of Qi was after all smashed by Zhang Ruochen’s sword thrust. And that ax strike exhausted all of the Saint Qi stored in within the meridians in the body, and immediately, the headless body became colder and colder, and finally went silent.

Tianjinzi, Tianshangzi, and Tianxuzi all had jaw-dropped expressions. Clearly, none of them were expecting Tianjuezi, who had the absolute upper hand, to be killed so suddenly and decisively.

Zhang Ruochen first took Tianjuezi’s saint source, before taking out a Yin Bottle, and stored the latter’s saint soul fragments within it.

White Zhuque had been paying attention to the battle between the cripple and Tianjuezi. Seeing the cripple killed Tianjuezi, there was a thoughtful look in her eyes as she faintly guessed the true identity of the cripple.

Earlier on, she had clearly sensed spatial fluctuations.

Tianjinzi roared, “Cripple, hand over Senior Brother Tianjuezi’s saint source and saint soul fragments, or we will make your life a living hell.”

Zhang Ruochen smiled faintly. “Even an Eight-step Saint King like Tianjuezi died under my blade. Your cultivation has yet to reach the realm of an Eight-step Saint King right? Who gave you the courage to challenge me?”

Tianjinzi, Tianshangzi, Tianxuzai’s cultivation level were all peak Seven-step Saint Kings, and even if the three of them were to strike together, Zhang Ruochen was not afraid of them.

Tianxuzi said. “Activate the Six-Mail Cloud Swallowing Formation to kill the cripple, and avenge Senior Brother Tianjuezi.”

Tianjinzi, Tianshangzi, and Tianxuzi each took out a shining piece of mail and infused all of their Saint Qi into it. Suddenly, three massive Saint Qi vortexes appeared between the heavens and earth.

Three Saint Qi vortexes collided and turned into a Xuanzu, tens of feet high.

The Xuanwu was just a phantom, but the aura it exuded was far stronger than Tianjuezi, someone of the Eight-step Saint King realm.

In fact, the Six-Mail Cloud Swallowing Formation needed all six of the Scions of Tianyuan to unleash its full power. They had used this formation to kill a Nine-step Saint King once.

WHOOSH!!

The sound of breaking wind came.

Tianmingzi rushed out of the night veil and dashed toward the Xuanwu phantom, wanting to rendezvous with Tianjinzi and the others, and personally take control of the formation.

Black Phoenix chased after Tianmingzi and shouted. “Cripple, stop him. We can’t let him enter the formation.”

Zhang Ruochen used the Imperial Swordsmanship technique, and blasted the Ancient Abyssal Blade out, transforming it into a sword light and flew toward Tianmingzi. Zhang Ruochen then instantly roused the power of the Fire God’s Gauntlet and mobilized the Precepts of Truth to unleash a six-fold attack power as he blasted out with a palm strike.

Tianmingzi just flicked his finger to deflect the Ancient Abyssal Blade away.

“Futile attempt, DIE!”

Tianmingzi’s eyes were bloodshot, as he struck his palm out against Zhang Ruochen’s palm strike, and wanted to use this strike to kill Zhang Ruochen.

BOOM!! BOOM!!

The palm strike indeed sent Zhang Ruochen flying away like a scarecrow. His Armor of Words was shattered, and he vomiting blood wildly in his mouth. But Zhang Ruochen quickly fell onto the ground and stabilized himself. Not only he was not dead, he instead slowly stood up.

Tianmingzi looked at his palm and wondered if his strength had weakened. Why couldn’t he even kill a Five-step Saint King?

Zhang Ruochen wiped the blood on the corner of his mouth as he said to himself. “If only I had broken through to a Six-step Saint King, then I could fight Tianmingzi without losing so badly.”

Tianmingzi joined Tianjinzi and the rest and took out a piece of mail.

Suddenly, the Xuanwu phantom got even more condensed, and the area covered by the Six-Mail Cloud Swallowing Formation became wider and wider and looked like it had the power to swallow the clouds.

Black Phoenix landed beside Zhang Ruochen, and first looked on with a concerned look as she inquired about his injury. And after learning that he was fine, she said. “The Six-Mail Cloud Swallowing Formation has been activated. Only a combination attack formation from White Suzaku and I can break it. The battle from now on will be even more dangerous, you leave first.”

Not too far away, there was a yawning sound.

The Butcher, seemingly looked like he had just woke up, sat up from the ground and stretched, as he shook his rather dazed head.

He stood up and walked toward the colossal Xuanwu Phantom, and the big cleaver on his back automatically flew out as he majestically said, “Isn’t that just a Six-Mail Cloud Swallowing Formation? Just a slash and it’ll be done for.”
