Chapter 1874 - The Fairy’s Mortal Heart

Chapter 1874: The Fairy’s Mortal Heart
Your Highness Princess, I am late. Please forgive me,
said Murong Yefeng.
The palm move that Murong Yefeng performed just now shocked Dizu Prince, Shiqing Shenzi, and Yue Gongming.
Who was that guy?
Why did such a peerless fighter still have to bow to Zhang Ruochen?
Butcher was elated and burst into laughter.
We have reinforcements. All of you—be it Infernal Court’s Ashurans or Celestial Court’s traitors—will have to die today.

He lunged out of the celestial river and struck his saber horizontally, leaving a foot-long, bloody cut on Yue Gongming’s abdomen.
Wayfarer, who was in the other direction, had his heart in his mouth. He sensed an imminent danger when he saw Murong Yefeng.
He looked up at Mr. Godcliff, who was floating in the air. Beads of sweat popped up on Mr. Godcliff’s forehead, his face twitching uncontrollably as he was resisting with his spiritual power. By the looks of him, Mr. Godcliff was on the losing side.

Things are not looking good. Run.

Wayfarer took out a talisman and stuck it on his chest. The next second, he flew at a thousand times the speed of sound, trying to escape Warsoul Star’s atmosphere.

Over to you!

After saying to this Murong Yefeng, Zhang Ruochen lunged out of the blood fog, performed a Dimensional Shift to come behind Wayfarer.

Stop running!

It shocked Wayfarer to hear Zhang Ruochen’s voice behind him.
But he quickly calmed down. Perhaps he could turn the tables today by capturing Zhang Ruochen.
With an evil look on his face, Wayfarer spun around and charged at Zhang Ruochen at one thousand times the speed of sound.
Sanskrit text covered his entire body, which had become golden, and a sacred Buddha glow was on his head.
His body was almost unassailable right now. Not to mention he was moving at one thousand times of the speed of sound, the momentum alone could be unimaginably destructive.
Zhang Ruochen had to perform a Spatial Domain to distort the dimension to dodge the attack.
When Wayfarer approached, his trajectory warped, sending him flying out from the right and crashing to the ground.
Boom!
As solid as the earth on Warsoul Star, Wayfarer had managed to leave behind a thirty-foot-wide crater in the ground from the impact.
Zhang Ruochen descended on the edge of the crater, releasing his spiritual power as he looked down at the crater billowing smoke.
Zhang Ruochen suddenly summoned the Azuresky Pagoda and placed it in front of him.
Wayfarer flying at great speed hit the Azuresky Pagoda, sending Zhang Ruochen flying backward at a thousand times of the speed of sound, during which he sent his saint Qi into the pagoda so the supreme power appeared on the pagoda.
Zhang Ruochen struck his palm on the pagoda, and a layer of translucent energy hit Wayfarer, forcing him to fly backward and crash to the ground like a scarecrow.
Following immediately, the Azuresky Pagoda crushed down on Wayfarer, rupturing his internal organs, fracturing a dozen of saint bones, and nearly shattering his saint soul.
Zhang Ruochen did not immediately kill Wayfarer. Instead, he took out a Begirding Shackle, tied him up, and then threw him into the Qiankun Realm.
Over the other end, Murong Yefeng and the Blood Wasp Ashuran King were having a standoff, none of them making a move.
The cultivators from the Tianchu Civilization were apprehending Dizu Prince, Yue Gongming, and Shiqing Shenzi, who were wounded and lost their combat ability. Meanwhile, The Crimson River Portrait had suppressed the blood wasps.
The situation was definitely in Zhang Ruochen’s favor right now.
He summoned the Ancient Abyssal Blade, readying to help Ji Fanxin kill Mr. Godcliff.
It was pointless to talk about ethics to an enemy like Mr. Godcliff, who should be killed the earlier, the better.
Before Zhang Ruochen could make his move, the spiritual-power battle between Mr. Godcliff and Ji Fanxin ended with Mr. Godcliff plunging from the sky, blood spurting out of his mouth.
Meanwhile, Ji Fanxi was wounded, too, with her beautiful body flying out backward.
Fairy Tianchu shot out a damask, reaching out a dozen miles to catch Ji Fanxin.
But dimensional ripples had already appeared beside Ji Fanxin as Zhang Ruochen emerged from within to catch her by wrapping his hand around her waist.
The two descended slowly with petal rain falling around them.
Fairy Tianchu quickly retrieved her damask and jealously stared at them.
Butcher guffawed beside her.
Fortunately, Fairy of a Thousand Flowers came in time. Or else, we will be in deep shit.


Fairy of a Thousand Flowers has wounded Mr. Godcliff, and this is enough to shift the attitude of the world’s cultivators toward her. She is not just an otherworldly fairy but also a powerful, Supreme Saint-level fighter,
said an elder of the Tianchu Civilization.
Dumbo nudged the elder with his arm, reminding him he had just complimented another fairy in front of Her Highness Fairy. How would Her Highness Fairy feel?
Dumbo guffawed and steered the conversation away.
Did you guys see that Fairy of a Thousand Flowers and Zhang Ruochen are unusually close? It seems they are really like soulmates.

That elder came to his senses and echoed.
Absolutely. Fairy of a Thousand Flowers would not have made Mr. Godcliff her enemy had it not been for her relationship with Zhang Ruochen.


I told you; Fairy of a Thousand Flowers and Zhang Ruochen are a match in heaven. Who knows, after the War of Merits in the Kunlun Realm, Yueshen would go to the Qianhui Realm to propose an engagement on his behalf?
said Butcher aloud.
Everyone was in a jovial mode right now.
Little did they realize that Fairy Tianchu felt as if she had been stabbed in the chest instead of feeling happy. She clenched her slender fingers, feeling upset.
Not that she was a petty woman; she had never thought of fighting with other women for anything. For some reason, though, she resented Ji Fanxin at the moment.
Descending on the ground, Ji Fanxin shook her head at Zhang Ruochen.
I’m fine, just a little exhausted.


I have a sacred herb that helps spiritual power recovery.

Zhang Ruochen took out a bottle and handed it to her.
Ji Fanxin had her own sacred herb for her spiritual power, too. But she was happy to accept Zhang Ruochen’s kindness. She took the bottle from him, dripped a drop of the potion on her fingertip, and consumed it.
On the other side, Fairy Tianchu performed a Rain Sword, killing Mr. Godcliff by piercing through his saint heart.
Zhang Ruochen and Ji Fanxin looked over and were stunned.
Why did Fairy Tianchu kill Mr. Godcliff while she had only subdued Dizu Prince, Shiqing Shenzi, and Yue Gongming?

Noticing the questioning looks of Zhang Ruochen and Ji Fanxin, Fairy Tianchu performed another Rain Sword, killing Dizu Prince, Shiqing Shenzi, and Yue Gongming by decapitating them.
This even surprised Butcher, Dumbo, and Li Miaohan, who were her long-time followers. Fairy Tianchu had told them earlier that she would send Dizu Prince, Shiqing Shenzi, and Yue Gongming to Celestial Palace for trial.
Why did she change her mind suddenly?
Her about-face was quicker than they could turn the page.
Noticing everyone’s puzzled expression, Fairy Tianchu had to explain herself.
Mr. Godcliff is an array master. Celestial Place will not sentence him to death, even if I sent him there. There would be no end of trouble for us if he were still alive.

Since Mr. Godcliff is dead, the three witnesses would have to die, too.

She was right on this one. Zhang Ruochen would not spare their lives even if she did.
But was it appropriate for the fairy to kill them personally? She could have just instructed Butcher and Dumbo, who would be more than happy to carry out the task.
Ji Fanxin looked at Zhang Ruochen. She leaned close to him and spoke into his ear as if she had figured out something.
What is your relationship with Fairy Tianchu?

Zhang Ruochen’s heart missed a beat, wondering if Ji Fanxin had found out anything. 

She owed me a favor in when I was at Divinity Bestowment Altar. But she already returned the favor in Eastern Region Holy City,

he said through telepathy.
Zhang Ruochen was careful not to say anything wrong because things between Fairy Tianchu and him could have affected her good name.


Just like that?

 asked Ji Fanxin.


You don’t trust me, Fairy?



No. Just that Fairy Tianchu isn’t too happy because we are too close.

 Ji Fanxin smiled. 

Didn’t you notice that she would glance at us whenever we communicate through telepathy?


Zhang Ruochen was only observant toward his enemies. Not when he was looking at women.


It seems that the innocent, otherworldly Fairy Tianchu has a crush on you, but she is afraid to express it. Do you want to be a prince consort of the Tianchu Civilization, Zhang Ruochen? I can help,

 said Ji Fanxin.


Please, don’t interfere with things between her and me. It is complicated.



What is so complicated about it? You are hiding something from me.


Zhang Ruochen mimed a spare-me gesture. Ji Fanxin was too smart to lie to; it was a futile attempt to even try.
He did not want Ji Fanxin to harp on the issue. 

Why you were so wary of Yanshen and Empress Ling in the Celestial Domain of Truth when your spiritual power was so impressive?



My spiritual power was suppressed back then in the Celestial Domain of Truth. It is semi-sealed; I could only remove part of the seal,

 said Ji Fanxin.
It was still semi-sealed?
How powerful her spiritual power would be if without the seal? Supreme Saint-level spiritual power?
An experienced fighter, the Blood Wasp Ashuran King remained calm even though he knew he was in danger. He summoned his Supreme Saint soul, his body glowing bright blood-red as he charged at Fairy Tianchu.
The odds were against him.
Fleeing was impossible.
Only by apprehending an important figure could he escape.
The Blood Wasp Ashuran King’s targets were Zhang Ruochen and Fairy Tianchu. He was cautious about Zhang Ruochen because Ji Fanxin was with him. So he would go after Fairy Tianchu instead.

How dare you!

The three Great Elders of the Tianchu Civilization cast out their sacred artifacts as they lunged out to stop the Blood Wasp Ashuran King.
