1341 The First Round of Battle

Name:God Emperor Author:飞天鱼
"Who are you guys? Who are you treating us like this? My sister is a disciple of the empress, and she's going to kill you all."

Princess Thirteen had tears in her eyes. She had been enjoying a comfortable life ever since she was born, so she couldn't handle that kind of torture and humiliation at all. Her face was twisted because of the pain.

"The empress is dead already, do you really think we give a damn about her disciples? All human beings are just food to immortal vampires."

Blood Saint Miefeng guffawed, and then, he looked up at Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yanchen. "Princess Yanchen, I went all the way to County Qianshui to get your parents here. How are you going to appreciate me for my efforts?"

"I'll kill you!"

Huang Yanchen couldn't stay calm anymore. She took out her heir stamp and triggered the emperor Qi inside, wielding it against Blood Saint Miefeng. Blood Saint Miefeng sneered and raised his arm. Followed by thunder, traces of blood Qi gushed out from his palm, forming a huge handprint that was more than three hundred feet long, warding off the heir stamp.

"The heir stamp is indeed an incredible true treasure, but unfortunately, you're not strong enough to fight me…"

Before Blood Saint Miefeng could finish, tumbling saint way power pierced through the blood-red handprint, clashing with his palm.

Blood Saint Miefeng's hair waved, and he only managed to balance himself after taking three steps back. And then, he saw the person who had attacked him. It was Zhang Ruochen.

When did he become so powerful that he's able to fight me directly?

Just as Blood Saint Miefeng was pondering that, a more powerful force gushed out of Zhang Ruchen's body, rushing toward Blood Saint Miefeng.

Bang Bang!

The bones of Blood Saint Miefeng cracked, and five wounds emerged on his palm. He bounced away and hit the wall behind him.

Stones fell from the cliff and buried Blood Saint Miefeng.

Zhang Ruochen took a look at Qianshui Commandery Prince, Liuli Half Saint, and Princess Thirteen, wielding a trace of saint Qi which formed a whirlpool and tried take them away.

Ying Huo and Situ Fengcheng were both surprised by the power of Zhang Ruochen.

However, they wouldn't let Zhang Ruochen save them that easily. Ying Huo smiled and said, "Do you really think you can save them like that?"

A blood saint wearing Ten Saints Blood Armor that was standing behind Ying Huo suddenly opened his eyes. He didn't have pupils. Instead, he had two blood-red eyeballs, which looked horrendous.

He shook his body and rushed toward Zhang Ruochen like a blood Qi whirlpool.

Bang!

He raised his feet, and then the airflow around him became chaotic. Rules of sky and land emerged. The fire rules were burning, the cold rules formed ice threads, and the lightning rules intertwined with each other, forming nets…

As he trampled down, Zhang Ruochen felt that the space was collapsing.

"No!"

Zhang Ruochen immediately rushed to the front of Qianshui Commandery Prince, Liuli Half Saint, and Princess Thirteen, releasing saint soul domain to protect them.

Bang!

The power from Blood Saint Miefeng tore the saint soul domain of Zhang Ruochen apart.

Meanwhile, he punched forward while stepping on the ground.

Howl!

A phantom of Eight Qi Snake showed up. It had eight heads and tails.

The eight heads of Eight Qi Snake merged with his fist print.

"Seven-Apertures Blood Palm."

Zhang Ruochen was amazingly reactive. All the seven apertures on his right palm opened at the same time as if he were holding seven stars in his hand.

A giant phantom of blood-red Lord Pluto showed up behind him, and it looked forceful and tyrannical.

Boom!

The fist and the palm clashed fiercely, making a deafening sound as if two stars had just clashed.

They were in a stalemate.

The ground under their feet cracked as if they were as fragile as cobwebs.

Both Qianshui Commandery Prince and Liuli Half Saint had seen remarkable fights before, so they could feel the power coming from Zhang Ruochen.

Several years ago, Zhang Ruochen was only a young teenager. They allowed Huang Yanchen to marry him because they deemed him to have great potential.

However, it'd only been several years and Zhang Ruochen had become so powerful that they could only look up at him.

Even those saints from the Chen family in the east weren't as powerful as Zhang Ruochen.

As for Princess Thirteen, she admired that man in front of her, and there had been a time that she was supposed to marry him.

Unfortunately, she had thought of Zhang Ruochen as nothing as he used to be a prince from a lower-class county, so she begged Qianshui Commandery Prince not to make her marry Zhang Ruochen. But now, she realized she was extremely short-sighted back then.

Ying Huo's eyes glinted and whispered to herself, "He's only an upper-class saint, yet he already has the power to fight a Death Knight. How did he get this powerful?"

Although the Death Knights hadn't reached true-saint level, they were stronger than heaven pass blood generals, stronger than anyone under the true saints.

Boom!

Blood Saint Miefeng rushed out of the stones and yelled, "I'll kill you!"

Hundreds of wind blades emerged in front of Blood Saint Miefeng, and they integrated with each other, forming a huge handprint, slapping toward Zhang Ruochen.

Zhang Ruochen had to use his left hand to perform Dragon and Elephant Prajna Palm. His arm looked like blazing iron, making a dragon sound and clashing with the handprint of Blood Saint Miefeng.

Even using the power of his body and martial way together, Zhang Ruochen wasn't able to fight Blood Saint Miefeng and the Death Knight at the same time. He kept retreating.

Every step he took, he would leave a huge pit on the ground.

As for Guoguo, Monster Ape, Qing Mo and Huang Yanchen were rushing toward the southern cliff, however, they were blocked by Ying Huo and the four silver-caped elders. They couldn't take one step farther.

Zhang Ruochen retracted his power and arms.

Blod Saint Miefeng thought Zhang Ruochen was exhausted, so he was ecstatic. He rushed forward and slapped toward Zhang Ruochen's head.

The Death Knight also made an attack. His fist looked like a sun, and the phantom of Eight Qi Snake was winding his fist, releasing destructive power.

Zhang Ruochen wielded two palm prints again, but this time, there was a saint-level blood repression rune on each palm.

"Careful."

Situ Fengcheng warned them.

Just as they fought each other again, Blood Saint Miefeng and the Death Knight couldn't retract their arms in time, clashing with the two saint-level blood repression runes.

Bang!

Bang!

After the two blood repression runes exploded, they turned into two gleaming balls of white light, and white chains were formed, tying up Blood Saint Miefeng and the Death Knight.

Zhang Ruochen exerted forces through his palms and bombed the two of them away. Just as he wanted to hit them, he saw Situ Fengcheng rush toward him like a trace of light.

Although there was still distance between Situ Fengcheng and Zhang Ruochen, he could feel an incredibly dangerous force rolling toward him like a star, which made him suffocate.

Zhang Ruochen had to give up fighting Blood Saint Miefeng and the Death Knight and rushed to Qianshui Commandery Prince, Liuli Half Saint, and Princess Thirteen to protect them.

Situ Fengcheng wielded his Fentian Sword, leaving a curve of sword Qi, hitting toward Zhang Ruochen.

Bang!

Martial Saint Canglan wielded her saint sword and stuck it on the ground, which turned into a sword mountain that was more than five thousand feet tall, warding off that attack.

In the end, Zhang Ruochen escaped it safely and met up with Huang Yanchen and the others.

Situ Fengcheng glanced at Martial Saint Blood Saint and didn't chase him. He retreated back to the southern cliff and wielded his sword, cutting off Shi Ren's left arm.

Shi Ren tried hard not to make a sound.

"You seized the hostages by force and broke the rules. Zhang Ruochen, you're going to have a huge price to pay," Situ Fengcheng said.

Situ Fengcheng lost three hostages in the first round, which was a huge loss, so he was very irritated.

"Just leave with them, Zhang Ruochen! They've set you up big time here… They don't want to negotiate with you at all. They just want to…"

A built blood saint slapped Shi Ren's face, making him bleed again. He couldn't say a word.

"You've gone too far!"

Zhang Ruochen grabbed Zhu Qingyi's arm and threw her on the ground, making the ground sink. Then, he stabbed her heart with his sword.

Zhang Ruochen pressed his sword, and Zhu Qingyi's heart started to bleed, tainting the mud under her red.

Zhu Qingyi had a great life force, so she could still survive even if her heart was damaged.

"Stop!"

Situ Fengcheng yelled and put his sword on Shi Ren's neck.

"Are you going to exchange or not?"

Situ Fengcheng said, "Yes! But you've broken the rules first, so I can only give you Shi Ren. As for Fentian Sword, you'll just have to take it back by force."

Zhang Ruochen knew for sure that Situ Fengcheng was confident enough that he could kill them all, otherwise, he wouldn't have given him all the hostages back.

However, Zhang Ruochen didn't care about it anymore. All he wanted to do was save Shi Ren and end his suffering, so even if he was encircled, he would have to risk it.
