Zhang Ruochen stepped back dozens of feet after warding off that move. Luckily, he didn't get injured, so he kept climbing up.
Ling Bi looked a bit weird in the saint mist. And then, she climbed up while attacking Zhang Ruochen at the same time.
Su Qingling showed up beside Zhang Ruochen, smiled and said, "I'm only doing this to become priest."
Su Qingli released great sword intent, controlling the two saint swords to attack Zhang Ruochen and Ling Bi at the same time while climbing up with full strength.
Su Qingli was highly-achieved in sword way. Although she didn't practice 'Wordless Sword Manual,' her attack power was just as strong as that of sword saints.
Zhang Ruochen didn't dare underestimate Su Qingling, but he didn't used the power of time and space, so he performed the sword intent of Sword Seven nine times.
Whoosh Whoosh!
Nine shadows showed up, and the nine moves almost attacked at the same time, knocking away Su Qingling's saint sword.
What Zhang Ruochen performed was the entire Nine-Life Sword Technique, and his sword techniques had enormous power. After combining it with Sword Seven, it had abstruse power.
"Fantastic sword techniques. It seems your sword intent has reached the saint level. We have to have a trial fight with each other once after this."
Su Qingling smiled and blinked at Zhang Ruochen seductively.
Su Qingling was rushing at the front, and she was already four thousand feet high, and she was only hundreds of feet away from the saint sword.
The fight at the top of Guanghan Godly Palace was fierce.
However, some people noticed a weird scene as Wen Shushen, the descendant of the Tree God, was still standing at the bottom of Guanghan Godly Palace.
He groveled toward the godly palace, and he looked respectful and regal.
After that, Wen Shushen stood up, looked to the sky and said, "Looks like I can still make it in time."
Wen Shushen pointed forward.
Whoosh!
More than ten golden vines showed up around his body, and those vines were gleaming like ten godly ropes growing along the wall of Guanghan Godly Palace.
Bang!
The six pinnacle true saints were wound around by the golden vines, and they were dragged down from the godly palace, falling on the ground.
Only Jikong Po, Bu Ji, Ling Bi, Su Qingling and Zhang Ruochen remained at the top of Guanghan Godly Palace.
However, they were also interfered with by the golden vines.
"What an annoying guy to be attacking us from the distance."
Bu Ji yelled in anger and broke the golden vines. However, the golden vines immediately grew back, and they became sturdier.
"He practices his mind power, and he has comprehended the way of life. Distant attack is his strength," Ling Bi said.
Jingkong Po sneered and said, "If I were only one hundred feet away from him, I could pierce a hole in his body with my spear."
"Then why don't you go?" Su Qingling chuckled.
All the saints from Guanghan Field were shocked.
An absolute saint said, "I thought that Wen Shusheng was as powerful as Su Qingling. I never expected him to fight more than ten great beings at the same time."
Wu Hao smiled and said, "Wen Shusheng is the best at long distance attacks, compared to all his peers, but it's inaccurate to say he's much more powerful than Su Qingling and Ling Bi. They're being checked by Wen Shusheng because they don't want to jump off Guanghan Godly Palace to fight him in short distance."
The older saints all nodded, as they agreed with what Wu Hao said.
Wen Shusheng wielded a vine, which spread toward a saint sword, winding around it.
Just as everyone thought that Wen Shusheng would seize the saint sword, a ball of blue flames burned the golden vine.
Sizzle!
The golden vine was engulfed in flames, and then, it was burnt to ashes.
"How is that possible? The golden vines were made by Wen Shusheng's mind power and life rules. How did a ball of flames burn the golden vines into ashes?"
All the saints and saint kings looked to the Heaven Pass saint who wielded the flames.
Even some of the supreme saints who hadn't been paying attention to the fight also looked to the top of Guanghan Godly Palace.
"Divine Fire Jingmie. Interesting." A supreme saint smiled.
Wen Shusheng was also a bit surprised. And then, he mobilized the other golden vines and attacked Zhang Ruochen with them.
There was a three-foot-long thorn at the top of each vine.
The seven apertures on Zhang Ruochen's hands opened, and Divine Fire Jingmie gushed out, burning all the golden vines to ashes.
Zhang Ruochen turned around and dashed toward the saint sword.
"I've underestimated you. You're a force to be reckoned with after all."
Jikong Po yelled, and he tried to stab Zhang Ruochen's heart with his golden snake spear. "Annihilation."
Meanwhile, Su Qingling, Ling Bi and Bu Ji all performed their attack skills against Zhang Ruochen who was the closest to the saint sword.
Su Qingling mobilized all her saint Qi and wielded two saint swords that were ten thousand patterns saint weapon, utilizing half the power of the saint weapons.
Ling Bi took out a dragon pearl and held it in his hand. Suddenly, a giant ice dragon flew out of the spirit pearl.
"Step aside, Zhang Ruochen, I need to perform the greatest power of the supreme saint battle soul."
Bu Ji yelled, and golden whirlpools gushed out. The battle soul of a golden lion that was a hundred feet long was formed behind him, releasing great forces of a supreme saint.
If Zhang Ruochen didn't step aside, he would be completely encircled.
Zhang Ruochen didn't do that. Instead, he summoned Buddha sarira and held it in his palm, triggering its original power.
Whoosh!
A Buddha shadow and a dragon shadow showed up at the same time, clashing with the attacks of the four great beings.
Boom!
The original power of the sarira warded off the attacks from the four great beings for a second.
Carnivorous Holy Flower that emerged from Zhang Ruochen's back grabbed the handle of the saint sword and dragged it out of the crack of the saint stone.
In the next second, the attacks from the four great beings broke the defense of the sarira, dashing toward Zhang Ruochen.
However, Zhang Ruochen had already jumped off Guanghan Godly Palace, which was four thousand feet tall.
Bang!
Zhang Ruochen landed back in the center of Thousand Saints Meeting, kneeling on the ground with one knee, a saint Qi wave spreading from his body.
Zhang Ruochen then put the Carnivorous Holy Flower back in his body and raised the saint sword.
An elementary level Heaven Pass saint had seized the saint sword!
Everyone was astounded.
Everyone saw that Heaven Pass saint fight the most powerful true saints from Guanghan Field, and he managed to ward off the attacks from four true saints for one second.
How did a Heaven Pass saint get so powerful?
Jikong Po, Su Qingling, Bu Ji and Ling Bi all stood at the top of Guanghan Palace. One of them was aggressive, one was pretty, one was masculine and one was ethereal. All of them were amazed.
Wu Hao stroked his chin and finally looked excited.
This was the look he'd only have when he spotted someone at the same level.
Emperor Jimie smiled. "Not bad. With him and Wu Hao, we'll stand a better chance in the Saint Merits Battle.
Supreme Saint Nine Spirits nodded and said, "The priest of the Saint Merits Battle is Zhang Ruochen. The Thousand Saints Meeting is over. All the saints can leave except the heir and the priest."
After the saints left, Wu Hao, Zhang Ruochen and the other two saint kings stayed in the meeting room.
Those two saint kings were the heir and the priest of the Saint King Merits Battle.
Supreme Saint Nine Spirits gave the two saints the award and briefed them on some issues before they were asked to leave.
Zhang Ruochen and Wu Hao walked forward and bowed at the three supreme saints. "Supreme saints."
Supreme Saint Nine Spirits nodded and took out two saint jade bottles from his sleeves.
Zhang Ruochen and Wu Hao took the saint jade bottles and put them away. Without a doubt, there were ten thousand drops of Ning True Saint Dew inside.
Supreme Saint Nine Spirit said, "The battlefield you're going to for the Saint Merits Battle is Zuling Field, and your enemies will be the Luosha race from Hell World. The battle will last for three months, and you'll know the rules for the battle when the Saint Merits Battle begins. I'm just telling you this for you to be better prepared."
Zhang Ruochen frowned and asked, "Wasn't Zuling Field destroyed already?"
Supreme Saint Nne Spirits was very patient. He said, "Zuling Field is indeed broken into fragments, and some of the fragments have been turned into ashes and have entered an Apocalyptic period, which is why the saint kings from Luosha race have already moved away."
Zhang Ruochen asked, "What's an Apocalyptic period? What's Luosha race? Why did all the saint kings move away?"
Supreme Saint Nine Spirits smiled. "You can ask Qingling about it, and she'll tell you the answer. I need to brief you on something more important first."
