Chapter 2002: Fighting Shang Ziyan Again

“It’s really troublesome to deal with three Shang Ziyan at the same time.” Zhang Ruochen frowned slightly.

The three Shang Ziyan were extremely powerful, and even he would find dealing with three of them alone difficult. Should he make any mistakes, he will definitely be made to pay for it.

“Zhang Ruochen, you are merely struggling needlessly. This is not Xumi Dojo, and there are no external force that you can borrow. You can also forget about anyone coming to save you. You are destined to die here tonight.”

The three Shang Ziyan opened their mouths at the same them as they declared Zhang Ruochen’s fate.

Hearing this, Zhang Ruochen’s heart could not help but to run. From what Shang Ziyan had said, it seems like all of those who top elites who may be able to help him had all been held back.

When he was ambushed by Shang Ziyan back in the Celestial Domain of Truth, it was Zhen Yuan, Fairy Cihang and the divine disciples of the Fane of Truth who came to his rescue.

And this time around, even if these people wanted to intervene, there would be no way for them to do so.

The Heavenly Realm faction was vast and powerful, merely holding back those top-level elites who were good friends with Zhang Ruochen was not a difficult task.

BOOM!! BOOM!!

Very abruptly, a dazzling saint light appeared, piercing through the body of a Nine-step Saint King.

For a moment, everyone present turned their heads and lookd to the southeast.

An extremely beautiful figure slowly walked out from the skyline as grains of light rain radiated out of her body. There were nine skies floating above her head, and each sky contained a large number of saint path precepts, and was utmost divine.

Seeing this figure, there was no one who would not be involuntarily attracted by it. Her body looked like it was cast out of sacred jade and was extremely fair as she radiated an enchanting fragrance. With that perfect body, and her exquisite appearance, it was enough to drive countless men insane.

“Who is she?”

For a moment, many cultivators could not help but to be curious about the identity of this peerless divine lady.

“The Nine-heavens Maiden.”

A strange look appeared in Shang Ziyan’s eyes as he immediately recognized her.

He had seen the Nine-heavens Maiden in the battle of Xumi Dojo, and she had left quite an impression in him.

In fact, had it not been for the Nine-heavens Maiden holding fort during the battle of Xumi Dojo, the Kunlun Realm cultivatorswould not have survived until Zhang Ruochen came to the rescue.

Zhang Ruochen also looked at the Nine-heavens Maiden, and from the domineering aura from her body, he could tell that the one guiding the Nine-heavens Maiden’s consciousness should be Warrior Saint Canglan.

That was to say, the reason the Nine-heavens Maiden would come to the Peacock Manor was in large part because of Warrior Saint Canglan.

Zhang Ruochen was very clear that his friendship with Warrior Saint Canglan was not enough to get the latter to take the risk to come over here.

If there was a reason, it was that Warrior Saint Canglan wanted to avenge his brother, Wan Zhaoyi.

After all, many of the executioners of the Heavenly Realm faction in the battle of Xumi Dojo were here.

Of course, Zhang Ruochen also believed the Divine Scripture Maiden and Qing Mo was sure to want to help him.

Without the Divine Scripture Maiden taking command on this, the Nine-heavens Maiden would never form into a single entity and come to the Peacock Manor.

“Another one that came to die.” A rather hideous-looking Nine-step Saint King of the Heaven Realm sneered.

The man looked extremely short and fat with many pustules all over his body, much like a toad.

In fact, his true form was indeed a toad.

Of course, he was no ordinary toad, but instead a demon toad, with himself an ancient species, and his bloodline extremely powerful.

The demon toad’s unleashed a piercing gaze as he moved and blocked the Nine-heavens Maiden’s path.

He opened his mouth an strong demonic poison mist spat out and surged towards the Nine-heavens Maiden.

A saint light rushed out of the body of the Nine-heavens Maiden, and transformed into the Sacred Confucian Tome.

Hundreds of words flew out of the Sacred Confucian Tome, forming a sacred shroud that closely protected the Nine-heavens Maiden.

At the same time, a surge of scorching flame rushed out from the Nine-heavens Maiden’s body, her eyes was as sharp as a blade, as if she was a goddess of war.

A Chenyan-level Divine Purification Flame surged forth and collided against the demonic poison mist.

CRRRIIIKKK

A shrill sound rang out as the demonic poison mist and the Divine Purification Flame consumed one another, no side managing to gain any advantage.

“Those who stands in my way shall die.”

Warrior Saint Canglan’s voice thundered with murderous intent.

Whooosh!

A silver kitchen knife belonging to Qing Mo flew out, ripping through the air with razor sharpness.

“Hmm?”

The demon toad’s expression changed slightly as he immediately deployed a bottle-shaped ancestral artifact.

The bottle’s body was dark in color and its surface lined with some arcane golden patterns. At this moment, a black light blasted out as the bottle mouth unleashed a powerful suction force, trying to take away the silver kitchen knife.

CLANG!

A devastating blade light shot out from the silver kitchen knife, and slammed square on the black demonic bottle.

The demonic bottle was instantly sent flying, as the golden arcane patterns on its surface became a bit dimmer.

The silver kitchen knife was an ancient divine relic left behind by Shishen, the God of Culinary. It was extremely sharp and could cut open almost anything.

“Quite capable I see, but you’re still far, far away from being able to fight me.”

The demon toad sneered.

He then continuously infused his demonic Qi into the black demon bottle.

Instantly, the demonic bottle became extremely massive, standing over ten feet tall as the golden arcana patterns on it clearly emerged, and spat out thick poison mist in a frenzy.

The demon toad was best at using poison, and its toxicity was extremely terrifying, and even if a Neverwither Supreme Saint were to get caught by it, it will be very troublesome.

The Nine-heavens Maiden used the Sacred Confucian Tome to defend and she continued her attack without any hesitation.

For a time, the two brutally fought against each other, and it was difficult to see who would emerge victorious.

Shortly after the arrival of the Nine-heavens Maiden, another person arrived, this person was one Zhang Ruochen was most familiar with, he was the eldest disciple of Sword Saint Xuanji, Qing Xiao.

Qing Xiao had rushed over with the Nine-heavens Maiden from the imperial city, but he was slightly slower than her.

As the Heavenly King of the Military, Qing Xiao was vigorously raised by the imperial court, and while his cultivation talent was not as good as Zhang Ruochen, but he still managed to cultivate his way to the realm of a Nine-step Saint King.

“Junior brother. Your senior brother is here to help you!” Qing Xiao let out a long howl.

Before he had even arrived, Qing Xiao had already blasted out a terrifying fist mark.

The fist mark transformed into an army of thousands as it swept across the heavens, seemingly about to sweep through the battlefield.

What Qing Xiao had unleashed was the imperial court military most powerful Martial Heavenly King Fist, designed specifically for killing.

There were ten styles of the Martial Heavenly King Fist, and the power of the later technique was stronger than the earlier one, and no one knew how many techniques Qing Xiao had mastered.

Immediately after Qing Xiao, another person also used the Martial Heavenly King Fist, and the aura was not much weaker than Qing Xiao’s.

Zhang Ruochen was also very familiar with this person. The latter was also a key figure in being nurtured by the imperial army, and he was the person who had owed Zhang Ruochen many favors, Bu Qianfan.

Bu Qianfan had inherited Diyi’s Heartless Demon Body, and had an immortal body. His cultivation talents were very high, and was now also a Nine-step Saint King.

Clearly, Bu Qianfan was here to return the favors he had owed in the past.

Just that the Nine-heavens Maiden, Qing Xiao, and Bu Qianfan were all blocked by the Heavenly Realm elites on the outside, and could not enter the main battlefield.

“Zhang Ruochen, I did not expect so many people would come to your aid, but I want to say, they are all fools. Standing up at this moment is simply just courting death.” Shang Ziyan said very coldly.

Zhang Ruochen retracted his gaze, and looked at Shang Ziyan, saying calmly. “Shang Ziyan, with your selfishness, if you were this situation yourself, I believe no one will come to your aid, and everyone will just want to kill you quick. So, you are really pitiful.”

“Is that so? A pity, because that day will never come. By getting rid of you, both Kunlun Realm and Guanghan Realm will be cut off from hope.” Shang Ziyan replied.

The Bloodbairn vibrated as various mysterious runes appeared and a crimson skyfire spat out of it alongside a faint divine power.

The skyfire and divine power’s combination instantly transformed into the phantoms of tens of thousands of bairns.

These infant phantoms let out a chilling cry as they charged at Zhang Ruochen with a menacing look on their faces.

Zhang Ruochen frowned slightly as his saint soul was faintly affected by the crying, and he could not help but to feel a little dizzy.

“What a wicked blade.”

Zhang Ruochen said to himself.

Immediately Zhang Ruochen formed a fist mudra as a majestic divine river appeared around him, like a real dragon coiling about.

“Blades of Luoshui.”

The divine river flowed quickly, and transformed into a massive blade and slashed at the infant phantoms that was charging over.

BAAMM!!BAAMM!!

The massive blade formed by the divine river exploded, and returning into a roiling river.

And the tens of thousands of infant phantoms had all dissipated as well, and the chilling cries came to an abrupt end.

However, without giving Zhang Ruochen any room to breath, the Shang Ziyan holding the Tower of a Thousand Temperings striked, as a terrifying cold Qi continuously radiated out of his body.

The cold Qi transformed into ferocious ice dragons as they pounced at Zhang Ruochen with claw and fang.

Zhang Ruochen reacted extremely quickly, and immediately mobilized the precepts of the gods in his left leg, activating the Nine-Heaven God’s Step.

A hundred thousand crimson precepts appeared as a scorching power was unleashed, causing Zhang Ruochen’s left leg to become like a red hot iron pillar.

BAAMM!!BAAMM!!

After several consecutive stomps, all of the ice dragons shattered, being reduced into ice crystals as the temperature dropped sharply.

Zhang Ruochen had only used part of the power of Yanshen’s leg, and did not used its full strength.

While the power unleashed when using its full might was certainly strong, but after using it, the saint Qi in his body will be exhausted, and he will become very weak.

He could use this trick against most common enemies, but it was obvious it will not work against Shang Ziyan.

“It turns out that you have blended master’s divine leg into your left leg. Fine, after killing you, I can retrieve the divine leg for master.” Shang Ziyan said indifferently.

He had heard from King Daxi a long time ago that Zhang Ruochen’s left leg was weird, and could use the power of Yanshen.

Now that he had seen Zhang Ruochen using the left leg with his own eyes, how could Shang Ziyan not understand what was going on.

Zhang Ruochen wiggled his left leg and said. “Yanshen’s divine leg is not bad. I’ve gotten quite used to it now. A shame Yueshen did not cut off another of his leg, otherwise, having two divine legs would be even better to use.”

“Zhang Ruochen, you dare to profane the gods. This is a capital crime.” A terrifying murderous intent appeared in Shang Ziyan’s eyes.

The Shang Ziyan wiedling the Five-colored Merit Stele transformed into a stream of light as he shot out at shocking speed, turning the Five-colored Merit Stele into a divine seal as he smashed it at Zhang Ruochen.

Zhang Ruochen quickly formed a mudra, and the Saint Aspect of the Immovable Wisdom King appeared, it was both solid and full of majesty.

The Immovable Wisdom King used the Eight-Dragon Umbrella, and turned it into a sword, slashing at the oncoming Five-colored Merit Stele like lightning.

At the same time, Zhang Ruochen activated the Zangshan Demonic Mirror and bombarded the Shang Ziyan wielding the Tower of a Thousand Temperings who was charging in from the side.

And Zhang Ruochen himself swung the Ancient Abyssal Blade to meet the Shang Ziyan with the Bloodbairn.

“Sword Ten.”

The Ancient Abyssal Blade trembled as it shot out a crescent moon-shaped sword light, ignoring the bindings of space as it charged out first.

“Soul Annihilation.”

Shang Ziyan growled, as he rouse an even stronger power contained inside Bloodbairn.

This divine power was extremely evil and destructive, as if it was about to annihilate all beings with souls in the world.
