Zhang Ruochen grew doubtful. He didn't understand why the Luosha marquis army still didn't attack.
He was confident that he could block the Luosha's first attack with the spatial maze. He could also use the spatial reverse to hurt them badly.
"The Luosha are actually so careful," Zhang Ruochen murmured to himself. "Did they see through my formations?"
The Luosha Princess was annoyed. She really wanted to cut off the Saint Arrow Marquis's head. He was such a failure.
How could someone so impulsive become a first marquis
The Luosha Princess was worried that Zhang Ruochen would grow suspicious again, so she immediately sent out a beam of Spiritual Power. She told the Saint Arrow Marquis and Marquis Yanlin where the Saints of the Hell Blade Field, Purple Mansion Field, and Kunlun's Field were hiding.
Receiving the information, the Saint Arrow Marquis seemed to have been saved. He finally knew what to do. Battle intent filled him. Turning around, he roared, "Who dares to hide before me? I'll destroy you first."
Boom!
The golden dragon bone arrow produced a thunderous boom. Then a destructive golden arrow flew out.
The invisibility formation was pierced instantly. The Saints of the Hell Blade Field and Purple Mansion Field were all exposed. There were more than 100 Saints who were at least at the True Saint Realm.
Kaboom.
Fang Yi pushed up the Heavenly Compass. Forming rings of patterns, he blocked the Saint Arrow Marquis's arrow.
"We really were discovered. The Luosha are too alert."
Thousands of marquises gathered at the east side of the mountain. Their force was large. Even the top figures of the Hell Blade Field and Purple Mansion Field were afraid.
The priest of the Hell Blade Field, Xue Fengling, issued an order. "Activate all Ten-thousand-pattern Saint Weapons into a formation. Fend off the Luosha attacks."
Immediately, eight Ten-thousand-pattern Saint Weapons rose up. Dense runes appeared. Like eight blazing suns, they radiated with terrifying saintly might.
The Luosha marquis army had thousands of attacks. They all attacked, crashing with the eight Ten-thosuand-pattern saint weapons.
Kaboom.
In an instant, the area was turned into a sea of fire from the saintly power.
The Saint Arrow Marquis fired another arrow in another direction. The Saints of the Kunlun's Field were forced to appear too.
There were very few of them, only a dozen Saints.
Wan Zhaoyi was on the battlefield year-round and had led the army against many races. He was experienced with sudden situations. He immediately ordered, "Spiritual Power Saints, immediately form a defensive formation. Martial Saints, activate your Ten-thousand-pattern Saint Weapons. Those without, activate your Thousand-pattern Saint Weapons and attack the Luosha marquis army."
Chu Siyuan, the Saint Lady, Goddess Siming, and six other Spiritual Power Saints stood in the center. They were protected by the martial Saints.
A jade book appeared in the Saint Lady's hands.
"Everyone, put your Spiritual Power in and activate the divine strength of the Confucius Saint Book."
Then nine powerful Spiritual Power Saints put their powers in. The book flew up, hovering 100 feet in the sky. White saintly light spread from the book. It was actually purifying the evil Qi in the sky.
The pages opened slowly. Dazzling words flew out, forming a sea of words. Some were pressed to the ground. Others flew in the heavens. A saintly voice poured out too. It was like millions of scholars were reciting poetry.
The thousands of attacks from the Luosha marquises were actually blocked by the Confucius Saint Book.
The Luosha Princess grew interested in the hovering Confucius Saint Book. "What a powerful book. It actually blocked the thousands of attacks from the Luosha marquises. What level is this treasure?"
Zhang Ruochen was staring in the direction of the Saints of the Kunlun's Field.
With Chu Siyuan as the leader, the nine Spiritual Power Saints all paled. Some even spat out blood. Their bodies swayed. They were clearly unable to fend off a second wave of Luosha marquis attacks.
The Confucius Saint Book was indeed powerful. Chu Siyuan was also at the top of the Spiritual Power Saints. However, having nine Saints go against more than 1,000 Luosha marquises was still too hard.
One thousand Luosha marquises could kill a Saint King.
Wan Zhaoyi saw the situation clearly. If they merely defended, the entire Kunlun's Field would be wiped out.
"Chen Wutian, Sword Saint Jiuyou, charge with me. We must scatter the Luosha marquis camp first."
Brilliant light shot out of Wan Zhaoyi. The Blue Dragon Saint Armor on his body roared. Then a dozen-foot-long blue dragon was curled up on his body.
Chen Wutian and Sword Saint Jiuyou used their strongest power and charged at the Luosha army with Wan Zhaoyi.
There were thousands of Luosha marquises. Their might was horrible. Anyone who dared to attack them had great courage.
Fang Yi, Xue Fengling, Sword Master Dongliu, and two half-step Saint Kings also charged out of the sea of fire. They attacked the Luosha army from another direction.
Caught off guard, a mass of the Luosha marquises fell. A dozen were turned to ashes. Even more were heavily injured.
Seeing this, the Luosha Princess was furious. A group of idiots! They didn't even establish a formation to fight against the top Saints of three worlds.
She was standing beside Zhang Ruochen and seemed to be observing the battle. In reality, she'd released her Spiritual Power. She was issuing orders to control the battlefield.
However, her Spiritual Power was very strong. She'd reached the Saint King Realm. Thus, no cultivators present sensed this.
The Luosha army immediately formed 36 Nine Nine to One Formations. They were organized neatly on the outside, forming a huge circle. They rotated slowly, crushing toward Wan Zhaoyi, Sword Saint Jiuyou, and the others.
The Nine Nine to One Formation combined the powers of 81 Luosha marquises. Both their defensive and offensive powers were incredible.
One Nine Nine to One Formation was nothing for strong figures like Wan Zhaoyi and Sword Saint Jiuyou. However, the power from 36 of them together was quite terrifying.
More than 1,000 female Luosha stood in the center of the 36 Nine Nine to One Formations. They were all Spiritual Power Saints and kept casting spells. The long-distance attacks repressed the Saints of the Kunlun's Field, Hell Blade Field, and Purple Mansion Field.
Zhang Ruochen touched his chin. "There must be a powerful figure among the Luosha marquises who is an expert commander. The top figures of three major worlds are actually repressed. If they continue, the three worlds will probably suffer great losses."
The Luosha Princess smiled. "Isn't a good thing to the Guanghan Field if they suffer great losses?"
"When the Luosha army takes care of them, it'll be our turn," Zhang Ruochen said.
The Luosha Princess nodded. "The Luosha army is very strong. We can't counter them. Let's take this chance to retreat and avoid clashing with them directly."
Zhang Ruochen wasn't arrogant and conceited. Naturally, he wouldn't think that he was able to fight thousands of Luosha marquises. Expression solemn, he said, "Let's wait a bit longer. The Heirs of the three worlds won't just wait for death. They must have another step. Isn't it better for both sides to be weakened?"
Zhang Ruochen's words reminded the Luosha Princess. She realized that the three major worlds must have other hidden cards. She had to prepare beforehand too.
Zhang Ruochen sensed a pair of blazing eyes. Thus, he turned around and happened to meet eyes with Martial Saint Canglan.
Her pretty eyes widened and fire rose up within them. She looked furious. When she saw Zhang Ruochen look over, she didn't avert her gaze. Instead, her lips moved and she uttered two syllables.
From her lips, Zhang Ruochen could tell that she said "traitor."
Zhang Ruochen felt scornful. He didn't accept the status of "traitor." It wasn't him who wanted to leave the Kunlun's Field. He only left because he had no choice.
Was he a traitor for fighting for the Guanghan Field?
Before this, the Moon Goddess had helped the Kunlun's Field against the Hell World's invasion. So what did that count as?
If Kunlun doesn't want me, I can go elsewhere, Zhang Ruochen replied by moving his lips.
Martial Saint Canglan ground her teeth in anger. If not for the Luosha Race's fierce attacks, she really wanted to burst out of the camp and teach Zhang Ruochen a lesson.
When Chu Siyuan saw Zhang Ruochen, he was also furious.
In his opinion, Zhang Ruochen had chosen a demonic path in the end. Instead of becoming the people's hero, he became the public enemy of the Kunlun's Field.
If Zhang Ruochen truly thought for the Kunlun's Field, then he should've given into the Empress.
With the Empress' status and magnanimity, she wouldn't continue to make things hard for him.
It wasn't embarrassing to bow down, submit, and apologize to a god.
But Zhang Ruochen just refused to do it. In the end, he became the traitor of the Kunlun's Field.
Faced with Chu Siyuan's eyes, Zhang Ruochen still didn't feel any emotions. In his opinion, Chu Siyuan indeed had commendable traits. He was just, fair, and hated evil.
However, he was a stubborn old man with old-fashioned thoughts. What he thought was the right way and truth was different from Zhang Ruochen.
Boom!
Five of the Nine Nine to One Formations activated a Ten-thousand-pattern Saint Weapon with the complete force. It shattered the defensive runes on Chen Wutian. He was sent flying horizontally and was injured badly.
At the same time, the two half-step Saint Kings of the Hell Blade Field and Purple Mansion Field were also injured horribly. They almost died.
The remaining people were indeed strong. However, they couldn't break through the 36 Nine Nine to One Formations. They were pressed back on all sides and had to retreat, almost dying.
It was clear that their plan to destroy the Luosha marquis camp had failed.
Sensing this, the Saint Lady hurriedly carved a light rune and sent it out. It was a message to the Saints of the Kunlun's Field hiding outside the 99 mountains. She wanted them to hurry over and help.
The Hell Blade Field and Purple Mansion Field also sent out light runes to muster their Saint armies.
