Zhang Ruochen, the Life-Death Trial is the most terrifying trial. Many geniuses die in this trial. The thunder will soon fall again. Do you want to die?

Saint Wanxin screamed. He flapped his blood wings at the same time, escaping into the distance.

I’ll kill you before the lightning strikes me,
Zhang Ruochen said.
As Zhang Ruochen charged at Saint Wanxin, the trial clouds in the sky also flew over. Thick bolts of lightning twisted together and fell down with a crack.
Boom!


Kaboom!
Zhang Ruochen and Saint Wanxin were both struck by the trial thunder. Their bodies shook and they fell to the ground together.
Zhang Ruochen’s physical body was very strong. All 140 apertures on him opened, releasing bright saintly light, blocking the lightning’s strength.
Of course, Saint Wanxin’s physical body wasn’t that strong. His skin was scorched. He looked like a burnt piece of coal with black smoke rising up.

Sword Six.

Zhang Ruochen activated strong sword intent and held the Abyss Ancient Sword up. He pushed it forward, stabbing it toward Saint Wanxin’s back.

Xuanji Finger.

Saint Wanxin stepped down and shot into the air. He turned in the air and formed a fingerprint. Pointing forward, he crashed against the Abyss Ancient Sword.
Poof.
Saintly blood spattered from the sword tip. All of the power that Saint Wanxin had consolidated now broke apart. He was thrown back. His right arm was shattered by the Sword Qi.



No wonder he killed Saint Qingyi in one strike. The Abyss Ancient Sword and Sword Six combined is indeed impossible to fend off.

Saint Wanxin knew that he wasn’t Zhang Ruochen’s opponent. Without hesitating, he activated a secret escape spell with a speed five times faster than before. With this kind of shocking speed, even a Heaven Pass Realm Saint wouldn’t be able to catch up.

Tear it up!

Zhang Ruochen grabbed forward and tore apart the space. A crack, hundreds of meters wide, cut off Saint Wanxin’s escape route.
They’d already rushed out of the Ancient Taiyin City and weren’t in the range of the Death God’s Light. Naturally, he could use spatial crack techniques.
Saint Wanxin forcefully changed his direction to avoid the torn space.

You can’t escape,
Zhang Ruochen thundered.
A black beam of light flew from Saint Wanxin’s side. It cut his neck, beheading him. He didn’t die, even after losing his head.
His headless body struck with two saintly finger spells, hitting Zhang Ruochen’s chest.
Thud.


Zhang Ruochen flew backward. He hit the city wall of Ancient Taiyin City, embedding into it.
Saint Wanxin’s two spells hit Zhang Ruochen’s heart and lungs. Even with the Ten Saints Blood Armor’s protection, Zhang Ruochen still felt horrible pain. There was sweetness in his throat. Blood trickled out of his mouth.
His heart and lungs were badly hurt.
The last desperate attempt by an upper-level Saint is more than terrifying, he thought.
Kaboom.
A thicker bolt of lightning fell from the trial cloud, hitting Zhang Ruochen and Saint Wanxin.
Zhang Ruochen fended off this bolt of lightning, but two explosions sounded in his ears. He looked toward the source. In the near distance, Saint Wanxin’s body and head were both struck by lightning and turned into a mist of blood.
A skeleton and skull fell to the ground.
Yet another upper-level Saint had died.
Zhang Ruochen checked his injuries. He was badly hurt. Not daring to fight the other Immortal Vampire Saints, he focused on surviving the trial.


He sat cross-legged on the ground and took a pill. He countered the trial thunders while healing himself. The Death Knight, Yao Sheng, and Sir Yashe had all escaped outside of the trial thunder’s area. They were 300 miles away, standing on a mountain and looking at Ancient Taiyin City.

Saint Wanxin was killed! Zhang Ruochen is truly powerful. He’s going through the trial, but he could still kill another Saint.

Yao Sheng felt terror in his heart. Thankfully, Zhang Ruochen hadn’t chased after him. Otherwise, even if he could resist Zhang Ruochen’s attack, he would still die from the lightning.
Sir Yashe’s expression was solemn.
Zhang Ruochen is only a Second Trial Pre-Saint and he’s already so powerful. Once he undergoes the third Pre-Saint Trial, he’ll only improve.


Then let us kill him.

The Death Knight was embarrassed. They were only facing a Pre-Saint, but three upper-level Saints had died.
If he couldn’t kill Zhang Ruochen today, he’d become the disgrace of the Death Knights.
He grabbed the blood-red spear and poured all his Holy Qi into it. Then he applied pressure and hurled it toward Ancient Taiyin City. It was like a shooting star flying across the night sky, shining with red flames. It went straight at Zhang Ruochen, who was sitting cross-legged beneath the city walls.
Just as Zhang Ruochen was about to be stabbed, a black disc appeared before him. It was more than 100 feet wide and looked like a circular shield.
The red spear crashed against the shield. It slowed instantly and finally stopped. All the cultivators in Ancient Taiyin City let out a sigh of relief.



There really is a formation expert who stopped the Death Knight’s full-power attack.


It’s fortunate that it was blocked. If the spear’s attack had landed, half of Ancient Taiyin City would have been destroyed.

…
Everyone thought that a big figure from the Yin and Yang Sect had hurried over. They quickly discovered that it was a fat cat standing beneath the circular disk.
The fat cat was only a foot tall. It stood on two hind legs and pushed up the disc with two paws. Who would’ve guessed that it had stopped the Death Knight’s attack?
The black cat opened its mouth, revealing sharp teeth.
You really think I’m just a weak cat if I don’t do anything?

The disc that it lifted actually attracted a portion of lightning from the trial cloud. Hundreds of beams of purple lightning appeared on the disc. Then the disc flew up and charged toward the Death Knight, Yao Sheng, and Saint Yashe 300 miles away.

Is this the legendary cat that Zhang Ruochen raises?

Saint Yashe had heard before that Zhang Ruochen had a powerful cat, so he didn’t dare underestimate Blackie. He put his forefinger and middle finger together. Strong Spiritual Power surged out of his fingertips and into a bronze plate.
The bronze plate flew in the air and crashed into the thunder disc in mid-air. Blackie and Saint Yashe were hundreds of miles apart, but they dueled with spells, trying to repress one another.
Kaboom.
The bronze plate and thunder disc crashed dozens of times in a row. The land within hundreds of meters was in chaos. Many parts of the land were scorched.

It’s just a cat. How can it be so aggressive? It’s actually comparable to the silver-robed elder of the Immortal Pavilion.


Has the Yin and Yang Sect not arrived yet?


The thunder cloud is getting stronger. Can Zhang Ruochen survive?

The human cultivators in the city were all worried. They desperately wished that the big figure of the Yin and Yang Sect could hurry over and kill the Death Knight.
However, he still didn’t appear. The more they waited, the more disappointed they felt.
Seventy-two bolts of lightning had fallen from the sky. If Zhang Ruochen could survive nine more, he would have survived the third Pre-Saint Trial—the Life-Death Trial.
A female disciple of the Yin and Yang Sect clasped her hands and stopped breathing due to nerves.
I hope Zhang Ruochen can quickly pass through the Life-Death Trial. Then he can use the Fifth Town Destructive Saint Rune and kill all those remaining Immortal Saints. That would be exhilarating.

While Blackie was busy with Saint Yashe, the Death Knight and Yao Sheng stood 300 miles away and kept attacking Zhang Ruochen.
The Holy Carnivorous Flower rushed out of Zhang Ruochen’s body. It transformed into a 10,000-foot-long vine and blocked the Death Knight and Yao Sheng’s attack, buying time for Zhang Ruochen to survive the trial.
However, the Death Knight and Yao Sheng’s cultivations were above the flower, so it was quickly injured. The vines and leaves were all scorched.
Huang Yanchen and Qing Mo stood in the air outside the trial area. Clouds were under their feet while an ivory moon was above their heads. Under the moonlight, Huang Yanchen’s skin was more translucent than saintly jade. Her long blue hair glittered. She gave off a cold and ethereal aura.
Qing Mo pursed her lips.
Princess, let’s attack! That fat cat can’t stop three Saints at all.


Let’s keep waiting. I want to see where his limit is.

Huang Yanchen’s gaze was as calm as water. She stared at Zhang Ruochen, sitting below the city wall. She wanted to know if he could resolve the crisis with his own power.
Below Ancient Taiyin City’s walls, the Holy Carnivorous Flower’s vine was practically disabled. It could only shrink back into Zhang Ruochen’s body.

Zhang Ruochen… I tried my best… Now…you must rely on yourself…

The flower’s voice was very weak. After speaking, it fell into a deep sleep.
The Life-Death Trial had 81 trial thunders. Now, Zhang Ruochen had already suffered 72 thunders. He would soon survive it all. However, if he continued sitting there cross-legged, he would definitely get killed by the Death Knight and Yao Sheng.
At this point, he could only fight.
Zhang Ruochen stood up abruptly. Locking down on the Death Knight and Yao Sheng’s location, he stepped forward. He used the Great Spatial Move to reach 100 miles away instantly.
Then he used the Great Spatial Move again.

Zhang Ruochen is heavily injured from the trial. He must be very weak now. Go kill him,
the Death Knight ordered Yao Sheng.
Yao Sheng wanted to curse at the Death Knight. They all knew that no matter how weak Zhang Ruochen was, he still had the Fifth Town Destructive Saint Rune. Whoever charged at him first would be the first to die.
It was clear that the Death Knight dispatched him against Zhang Ruochen to use him and disable the Fifth Town Destructive Saint Rune.
Since Yao Sheng knew it was suicide, why would he do it? Ignoring the Death Knight’s order, he used a secret escape spell and actually ran away.

Cowardly fool.

The Death Knight clenched his fists and let out a furious roar. He didn’t go after Yao Sheng. Instead, he charged at the incoming Zhang Ruochen.
