Chapter 1821 - Slaughter

Chapter 1821: Slaughter
Feng Chengdao was shocked, and immediately held up layers of protective Saint Light.
At the same time, three shield wards flew out of the center of his brow, and all of them suspended around his body, each three feet wide.

Bai Yuejun climbed up from the ground and felt pain all across his body with a trace of blood on his lips. His fingers were mush as he pointed angrily at the masked man.

How dare you sneak up and attack me, are you looking for your doom?

The masked man laughed.
Sneak attack? I had struck your head on without any tricks, it was you who could not block the attack.

Bai Yuejun trembled with anger, as he swallowed a healing sacred pill and the Saint Qi in his body circulated rapidly. Suddenly, the iron chains wrapped around his body blast out and flew in the sky as they let out a rumbling roar.
There were tens of thousands of inscriptions on the chains, some forming a dragon’s shadow while some forming shadows of ghosts, while others took the form of blades…
In an instant, a domineering Saint Force flooded the land.
Feng Chengdao seeing that the man using Dimensional Shift and determined his identity as he reminded his comrade,
Watch out. He is the Scion of Time and Space Zhang Ruochen. He can control dimensions.

Just as the reminder left his mouth, a series of precepts of dimensions appeared across the entire space around Zhang Ruochen and Bai Yuejun, freezing it in place.

The violently flailing iron chains stayed still in the air.
Boom!
Zhang Ruochen’s punch landed on Bai Yuejun’s chest, and his Saint Robe tore apart like paper as his body sunk inwards. Fine blood lines appeared on his tempered Saint Body and were about to shatter like a broken ceramic.
Bai Yuejun flew out once again and crashed into a snowy mountain dozens of miles away.
Bai Yuejun had a wealth of accumulation, and many tricks up his sleeve. In fact, even when using the power of time and space, it was not an easy matter for Zhang Ruochen to defeat him.
Nevertheless, Bai Yuejun underestimated him too much, and that was the reason he appeared so vulnerable before Zhang Ruochen’s power of dimensions.
Now, he had been severely injured, and he no longer had the ability to fight against Zhang Ruochen.
The power of time and space were only able to be used to their fullest potential when they were used unexpectedly.
If the enemy knew that he was a master of time and space, then they would be extremely careful, and even prepare treasures to ward against time and space. And this, for Zhang Ruochen at least, would greatly diminish his advantage.
Zhang Ruochen held his two fingers together into a sword form and summoned the Ancient Abyssal Blade.

Whoosh!!
The Ancient Abyssal Blade blasted a black light as it flew out with full intent to kill Bai Yuejun.
A shield ward rotated and flew out, smashing against the blade, and deflecting it sideways.
The Ancient Abyssal Blade slammed into the other side of the snow mountain.
Boom!!
The snow-capped mountain collapsed with great momentum.
Zhang Ruochen’s gaze looked sideways as he glanced at Feng Chengdao.
Feng Chengdao retracted the shield ward and said with a serious look,
Zhang Ruochen, what sort of secret is hidden on Royal Mountain that you had progressed so quickly?

Feng Chengdao had fought against Zhang Ruochen three times in total, and each time, Zhang Ruochen’s strength had improved drastically. But most importantly, only a month had passed in between.
A month ago, he could severely injure Zhang Ruochen with a finger blast.

Yet now, even before Zhang Ruochen could make a move, he already felt tremendous pressure.
This was the reason Feng Chengdao would guess that Zhang Ruochen’s rapid progress might have something to do with the awakened land within Royal Mountain.

There is an incredible secret on Royal Mountain. Hand over the God Stone and I’ll tell you.
Zhang Ruochen held both hands behind him, as he smiled and said.
Feng Chengdao laughed and said,
Seems like your rapid progress is likely to be related to the God Stone.

With a bang, Bai Yuejun rushed out of the snow mountain, with his hair disheveled and his face menacing as he let out a harsh roar.
A dull grunt rang out of Murong Yue’s mouth as she fell to the ground on one knee. Her pretty face turned pale and black in intervals as her delicate body trembled slightly.
The black mist that had afflicted her was sweeping across her blood, meridians, and Saint Meridians.

Brilliant, a godsend opportunity.

Feng Chengdao was overjoyed, and he quickly said,
If you don’t save her, I’m afraid the Yinjue Demonic Qi will afflict her Saint Soul. By then, if she’s not a demoness who’s going berserk, she’d be nothing but a pool of black blood.

If Zhang Ruochen chose to rescue her, then with his and Bai Yuejun’s strength, they could easily kill Zhang Ruochen.
Without any hesitation, Zhang Ruochen pressed his palm on the wound on Murong Yue’s right shoulder as he continuously drew the black mist from her body into his own.

Your Highness… no… this Demonic Qi is quite powerful… The Demonic techniques of the Demonstone Engravings I’ve cultivated could not refine it…
Murong Yue was worried that Zhang Ruochen would fall for the trap and dissuaded him from saving her.

Be quiet. A mere Yinjue Demonic Qi can’t do anything to me.

Zhang Ruochen’s calm sentence, in Murong Yue’s ears, sounded like a decree, with an absolute will in it.

Zhang Ruochen, you sought your own doom, and you have no one else to blame.

How could Feng Chengdao let this rare opportunity go? He mobilized a large amount of Saint Path Precepts and focused them into his fingertips as he pointed out and chanted,
Finger of Dawn.

Finger of Dawn, the number one intermediate-level finger strike technique of the Fane of Youshen. With Feng Chengdao’s cultivation, he could kill a Saint King across the void of thousands of miles.
At that moment, Zhang Ruochen and Feng Chengdao was merely a few miles apart.
The power of the Finger of Dawn came rushing at him like a falling sun.
Zhang Ruochen pressed one hand against Murong Yue’s right arm, while his other hand took a palm strike form, as thirteen dragon soul phantoms appeared, he blasted them out.
The thirteen dragon soul phantoms then coiled together and turned into a giant dragon.
Fusing with the Precepts of Truth, the dragon exploded in six times its offensive power and collided against the oncoming finger strike.
The two forces annihilated each other at the same time.

How is that possible?
Feng Chengdao’s eyes widened.
One needed to know that Feng Chengdao was not any ordinary Nine-step Saint King, and his cultivation base was already close to the Greater Precept-World. That finger strike earlier, he had gone all out, how could it be blocked by a mere youngster.
On the other hand, Xie Chengzi controlled two Battle Corpses with the strength of a Nine-Step Saint King and intercepted Bai Yuejun, pinning him in place.
Zhang Ruochen pulled back his palm that was pressing against Murong Yue’s right shoulder and took a deep breath.
The black mist flowed in his body, and after a while, it merged with his body. Zhang Ruochen, who possessed a Five-Element Chaotic Body could accept all sorts of powers, and the so-called Yinjue Demonic Qi could not affect him at the slightest.
Feng Chengdao had a grim expression, and he immediately sent a telepathic message to Bai Yuejun. 
The situation is a little bad, let’s retreat for now.



It’s just a mere Zhang Ruochen, and he scared you to this point? If you want to flee, flee by yourself. I was only injured because I underestimated my foe. If we really fight, I can deal with him with just a single hand,

 Bai Yuejin spat.
Feng Chengdao felt that Bai Yuejun had been dazed by fury, and the consequences would be disastrous if he were to let him continue to fight Zhang Ruochen.
Without any recourse, Feng Chengdao shot out a Communication Light Talisman and sent a message to a great person of the Fane of Youshen in the Eastern Region Holy City. That person’s cultivation level had reached Greater Precept-World.
If he could rush here in time, Zhang Ruochen would not be able to escape.
However, just as the light talisman was blasted out, it was intercepted and taken away by Zhang Ruochen using a Spatial Move.

It seems like the Fane of Youshen still have a powerhouse in the Holy City.

Zhang Ruochen read the content of the light talisman and instantly understood who Feng Chengdao was sending the message to. It turned out it was for the Fatal Six of the Fane of Youshen, the Drifter.
For an elite like the Drifter to appear in the East Region Holy City, it was extremely unusual, and Zhang Ruochen frowned deeply.
The sense of crisis in Feng Chengdao’s heart grew even stronger, and he no longer bothered about Bai Yuejun as he deployed an escape technique, and fled alone to the heavens beyond.
If a Nine-step Saint King wanted to leave, normally it would be very difficult to keep them from leaving. Even someone of the Precept Domain realm would not be able to land an absolute killing blow.
Therefore, Feng Chengdao had absolute confidence to escape.

For Zhang Ruochen to rush over to the Holy City, and with great advancement of his cultivation, he has the ability to fight on equal footing with a Nine-step Saint King. I must notify both the Drifter and the Wayfarer. Only with one of them intervening will we be able to take on Zhang Ruochen with full confidence.

Suddenly, Feng Chengdao’s heart tightened.
An almighty, supreme power fell upon him, and it suppressed him so hard that he could not circulate his Saint Qi and fell straight into the ground.
After Feng Chengdao crashed into the ground, he looked up.
He only saw an azure pagoda falling from the sky, and carrying with it a boundless blue air current that smashed into him. That was the last thing Feng Chengdao saw.
Boooomm.
The earth quaked violently and shook almost half of the Hailrun Continent.
Zhang Ruochen recalled the Azuresky Pagoda, and on the ground was just a bloody pile of mashed flesh.
Not only Feng Chengdao’s Saint Body, but even the various Saint Artifacts on his body were also shattered into pieces, and they were all powerless against the blow of the Supreme Sacred Artifact.
Bai Yuejun was startled by the power erupting from the Azuresky Pagoda, as he turned into a white light and fled.
It was terrifying!
Zhang Ruochen actually had a Supreme Sacred Artifact on him? How could he fight?
Zhang Ruochen used the Dimensional Shift and caught up with Bai Yuejun, and blocked his path. Holding the Azuresky Pagoda in his palm, he icily said,
Surrender, or die.


Boy if you want me to surrender, you must be dreaming.

Bai Yuejun spat out a mouthful of Saint Blood into the silver bowl in his hand. At that very moment, rings of Saint Force halos radiated from the bowl, erupting in a more and more powerful Saint Force.
The bowl flew toward Zhang Ruochen, and wherever it passed, the precepts of heaven and earth buckled violently.
At this moment Bai Yuejun deployed his Saint technique, the Frost Phoenix, and turned into a phoenix of ice and snow, and with a flap of its wings, it flew hundreds of miles away.
Zhang Ruochen gently shook his head, and once again roused the power of the Azuresky Pagoda.
Bam!!!
The Azuresky Pagoda smashed the silver bowl, and caught up with the fleeing Frost Phoenix, and smashed into a bloody mist.
With that blow, a Nine-step Saint King with such a profound background perished and was turned into dust.
Zhang Ruochen took away the Saint Source of both Feng Chengdao and Bai Yuejun, and carefully searched the area where they perished. When he could not find any God Stone he could not help but to feel a bit disappointed.
The battle earlier had shaken the entire East Region Holy City.
Especially the power that erupted from the Supreme Sacred Artifact, it could be sensed from tens of thousands of miles away and could not be hidden. It was not inconceivable that so many powerhouses would rush over because of that.
Knowing that, Zhang Ruochen took Murong Yue and Xie Chengzi and immediately fled.
For the time being, Zhang Ruochen did not want anyone to know that he had came to the Eastern Region Holy City.
