Seven-Apertures Blood Palm clashed with Blue Bronze Palm, trembling the spiritual Qi of sky and land around it. It could almost crush eardrums, and the clouds one-thousand square miles around it all withered away.
Their powers were at the same level.
"How is it possible? Even Destruction of the Thousand-patterns can't crush his body?"
Empress Moran looked pale. She retreated and drew her distance from Gu Linfeng.
Gu Linfeng was still standing straight, glowing with golden light.
That blue bronze print was called 'Blue Dragon Emperor Print.'
Empress Moran had already triggered three thousand inscriptions, releasing powerful destruction of thousand-patterns, yet Gu Linfeng was able to ward it off with his handprint. How could she not be shocked?
Gu Linfeng had just sanctified his body, yet he was powerful enough to rival an upper-class saint?
Were people whose bodies had been sanctified that terrific?
Zhang Ruochen trampled the space and rushed forward, making cracking sounds in the air and leaving a trace of thunder fire behind, racing toward Empress Moran.
Zhang Ruochen slapped down, and the phantom of the twelve-winged Lord Pluto showed up again, with tumbling bloody Qi.
Empress Moran felt that everything around her had disappeared, and she was trapped in a gigantic bloody Qi whirlpool.
An enormous phantom of a demonic god showed up and hit her head.
"No!"
Empress Moran held her Blue Dragon Emperor Print and tried to ward it off.
Peng!
Empress Moran wasn't able to resist that force. Her body fell and knocked a hole in the ground.
Zhang Ruochen looked calm. He didn't show any mercy because of the exquisite face of Empress Moran. He would fight to the end as long as it was an enemy.
Empress Moran was, after all, an upper-class saint. She had solid cultivation, preventing her from being killed. She flew up and stood across from Zhang Ruochen.
Her hair and clothes looked a bit messy, and some parts of her body were bleeding with saintly blood, tainted by mud.
Empress Moran had never been in such a fix since becoming a saint, especially when fighting male monks. One look from her could mesmerize any male enemies, so she didn't need any fighting skills to subjugate them.
"Damn it! Gu Linfeng! You dare try to kill me!? You dare betray the hierarch wife!? Aren't you afraid that the hierarch wife will kill you?" Empress Mora showed her white teeth, and her eyes were glinting with fierceness.
Zhang Ruochen said, "I've never sought her patronage. How am I betraying her? I'll kill everyone who works for immortal vampires."
"Even if you have sanctified your body, our lady can kill you from a hundred thousand miles away. You can never imagine how powerful my lady is."
Empress Moran knew that the best she could do was to rival Gu Linfeng. Even if she used all her power, she wouldn't be able to kill him.
However, if she let Gu Linfeng go, the identities of her and her lady would be revealed, and they would be hunted by all human monks.
Empress Moran flicked her fingers and sent a signal flare.
A signal flare could be sent back to Valley Mo You in an instant.
If her lady knew about this, she would kill Gu Linfeng using her extraordinary skills.
If it were another person, it wouldn't be able to stop the signal flare. After all, the signal flare could travel as fast as light.
Zhang Ruochen had been cautious about this. Just as Empress Mo Ran sent the signal flare, he vanished, crossed the space and grabbed the signal flare.
Peng.
Zhang Ruochen crushed the signal flare, and white jade powder fell from his hand.
"Great Spatial Move… You're Time and Space Descendant, Zhang Ruochen." Empress Moran's eyes popped with horror, as she found it inconceivable.
Empress Moran didn't expect that someone she had been looking for was staying with her all this time.
Zhang Ruochen smiled, standing in the sky, and said, "Empress, did you expect to see me so soon after Blue Dragon Void World?"
"Fantastic! Give me the world spirit of Blue Dragon Void World now," Empress Moran said.
"Why would I give it to you? Can you get it with your power?" Zhang Ruochen said.
"I need to show you my real power so that you can realize you can't rival an upper-class saint."
Bloody saintly Qi gushed out of Empress Moran's feet turning into a cluster of clouds hundreds of square miles large. A gigantic saintly look ascended from the clouds, standing behind Empress Moran.
After utilizing the saint look, the forces of Empress Moran surged.
Hua!
Blue Dragon Emperor Print flew up again, and traces of blue inscriptions emerged.
Blue Dragon Emperor Print was a mighty thousand-patterns saintly weapon, and there were more than eight-thousand inscriptions inside. Once it was completely utilized, it could easily kill a saint.
Empress Moran was only powerful enough to trigger four-thousand inscriptions. She wasn't able to fully wield its power.
Four-thousand inscriptions were terrific enough. Other upper-class saints who didn't have such powerful thousand-patterns saintly weapons weren't able to ward off attacks like that.
Empress Moran had just become an upper-class saint, so she was relatively weak among those at the same level, yet with the help of Blue Dragon Emperor Print, she could rival the powerful upper-class saints.
Empress Moran had only triggered three-thousand inscriptions before.
Hong Long.
Four thousand inscriptions emerged, and the destruction of thousand patterns painted the sky and land blue.
All ten saintly shadows around Zhang Ruochen crumbled under the influence of the destruction of thousand patters. An invisible force shook Zhang Ruochen so fiercely that he couldn't even stand still.
"Die!"
The hair of Empress Moran waved, and her eyes glinted ferociously, wielding Blue Dragon Emperor Print.
Zhang Ruochen could see a blue dragon dashing toward him with a tremendous amount of power, shaking the ground under him. The continent seemed to be sinking.
Zhang Ruochen wasn't afraid at all. He didn't try to dodge it. Instead, he confronted it.
Empress Moran looked disdainful and said, "I've triggered four-thousand inscriptions on the Blue Dragon Emperor Print. Even upper-class saints would try to dodge it. He dares confront it directly? He's being suicidal."
Just as Zhang Ruochen was about to clash with the Blue Dragon Emperor Print, he suddenly disappeared, using the power of space and showing up right in front of Empress Moran.
"Sword Six."
Zhang Ruochen pinched his fingers into a sword technique, performing Sword Six and dispelling all the attack skills from Empress Moran.
Pu Chi!
Tens of thousands of sword Qi condensed into a sword pillar and pierced through the saint body of Empress Moran.
A huge bloody hole showed up on the chest of Princess Moran. Her bones and organs were crushed.
Zhang Ruochen pinched his fingers again, leading to a palm print and hitting her body.
Peng.
That almost knocked the saint soul out of Princess Moran's body, and there were dozens of bloody wounds on her body. She bounced away tens of miles, falling into a lava lake.
Zhang Ruochen caught up with her, trying to kill her.
Just as he arrived beside the lava lake, a heated wave dozens of times hotter than lava gushed out.
"No."
Zhang Ruochen was startled. He immediately mobilized the power of space and wanted to run away.
Yet he was still late.
Empress Moran couldn't be faster. She hit Zhang Ruochen, engulfed in flames.
Zhang Ruochen bounced back.
Empress Moran was using a God-connecting technique, which wielded ten times her own power, to save her life.
God-connecting techniques required burning one's blood and spirits. Almost everyone saint knew how to perform it to save their lives. However, it was so costly that no saints would use it unless it was their only resort.
Zhang Ruochen clashed with a burning mountain, and lots of stones fell on his body.
Zhang Ruochen spat blood as he was severely injured.
Peng.
Empress Moran looked like an exquisite Goddess of Death, descending from heaven, trampling the earth and walking to Zhang Ruochen.
There was still blood on her chest and lips. She looked aloof and fierce, walking toward Zhang Ruochen, and said, "You don't have the power to fight an upper-class saint."
Empress Moran clenched her hand, rushed forward and hit toward Zhang Ruochen's head, trying to crush it.
Suddenly, a Blood Repression Rune showed up between Zhang Ruochen's fingers.
Hua!
The Blood Repression Rune flew toward Empress Moran, exploded and turned into white chains, covering her body and repressing her bloody Qi.
Zhang Ruochen flew out of the rocks and stabbed the head of Empress Moran with Abyss Ancient Sword.
The life force of Empress Moran drifted away, then Zhang Ruochen was relieved. He pulled Abyss Ancient Sword and said, "No wonder she was an upper-class saint. I had to use the only saint-level Blood Repression Rune I had to kill her completely."
The body of Empress Moran was a bit bizarre. She was a human being, but her body had some characteristics of an immortal vampire.
Were there some techniques that could turn human beings into immortal vampires?
Zhang Ruochen couldn't figure it out at this moment, so he stopped thinking.
Zhang Ruochen walked to the corpse of Empress Moran, and he found that the saint soul of Empress Moran was still intact. He wondered whether he should infuse Carnivorous Holy Flower with her saint soul to replace its virtual body or not.
