God Emperor - Chapter 1445

Chapter 1445: 1445

The nine-headed bird flew 14,000 miles continuously and entered the middle of Whale River Territory . The river here was broad and the water current was slow . Steep mountains rose up on either side of the river .

 Not long ago, there had been a saint battle here . A portion of the mountains had melted from the saintly flames and became broken . The lava still hadn’t hardened completely .

 The entire land was tattered and broken, like a wasteland . Luosha Princess sat cross-legged on the nine-headed bird . She took out a mask made from blue feathers and put it on her face . She covered her foxy and overly-beautiful face . Only her enticing eyes remained .

 Zhang Ruochen glanced at her . He had suspicious eyes, but he didn’t ask .

 With her attainments in Spiritual Power, not many cultivators could see her true appearance even without a mask .

 “If we go further,” the Luosha Princess said, “we will be where the Phoenix Nest is . It will be filled with unknown dangers . Everyone should be more careful . ”

 The god of Zuling Field had personally buried the Ice and Fire Phoenix in the Phoenix Nest . A god could leave any random thing behind and destroy a Saint .

 Otherwise, with the Luosha Princess’s abilities, she wouldn’t want to cooperate with Zhang Ruochen .

 Zhang Ruochen used his Spiritual Power to search in all directions . He sensed a strong fiery force being nurtured underground . It was slightly different from the rules elsewhere .

 The Phoenix Nest may very well be nearby .

 Suddenly, Zhang Ruochen looked down . There were two very strong beams of evil Qi in a red-yellow mountainous forest .

 Whoosh!

 A fierce windstorm rose up in one of the thousand-foot-tall mountains . Densely packed wind blades formed and swirled around it . They flew toward the nine-headed bird in the sky .

 “How dare they attack us!”

 Luosha Princess’s eyes darkened and she huffed lightly .

 Flames appeared in the nine-headed bird’s eyes at the same time . It flapped its wings, producing an even stronger windstorm . It flooded out . Even the mountain shook as if it would collapse soon .

 The nine-headed bird wasn’t weak . It was even stronger than the typical second marquis .

 In the red mountain below, two female third marquises stood behind a dozen-foot-tall boulder . The windstorm was a wind saint spell that they’d cast with their Spiritual Power .

 Seeing the nine-headed bird destroy the wind saint spell, they immediately spread their wings and flew into the distance to escape .

 “You want to leave?”

 Zhang Ruochen pulled out the Clear Sky Bow and Shining Sun Arrow . He pulled back on the bow . Instantly, a gust of wind and thunder condensed around him .

 Boom .

 The Shining Sun Arrow transformed into a streak of white light . It flew toward one of the female third marquises .

 Just as the female Luosha was about to get killed, a golden saint arrow flew from the other direction . It crashed against the Shining Sun Arrow, producing an ear-splitting boom .

 The golden arrow and the Shining Sun Arrow both went off course . They hit the ground, leaving two bottomless ditches . Soil and rock flew everywhere .

 “An expert in the Arrow Way . ”

 Zhang Ruochen’s eyes narrowed . He extended a hand and grabbed the air, calling the Shining Sun Arrow back .

 Whoosh!

 The golden saint arrow also flew out of the ground and back into the hand of a Luosha marquis .

 That marquis wore golden armor . He was around 3 . 5 meters tall, had broad shoulders, and a long horse-like face . He grasped a golden dragon-bone bow that was close to three meters long . Other than the arrow in his hand, he had nine other arrows on his back .

 “Greetings, Saint Arrow Marquis . ”

 The two third marquises bowed down to the man with the golden dragon-bone bow .

 Saint Arrow Marquis nodded softly . Then he looked at Zhang Ruochen, Luosha Princess, and Qing Mo on the nine-headed bird . “The Phoenix Nest belongs to the Luosha,” he said arrogantly . “Anyone who dares to approach will be killed . ”

 Then he shot an arrow again . An explosive boom sounded on the ground .

 Boom .

 A golden arrow flew 600 miles out like a golden streak . It pierced a Saint who’d wanted to sneak in .

 The Saint’s body exploded into a bloody cloud .

 It was clear that other than Zhang Ruochen’s group, there were other Saints hiding in the shadows too . They all wanted to take over the Phoenix Nest and Merits Records Wall .

 Saint Arrow Marquis kept firing his bow . In an instant, he killed seven Saints who’d gotten within 1,000 miles . Then the cultivators that tried to approach the Phoenix Nest all retreated to more than 1,000 miles away .

 The Luosha Princess stood up and said to Zhang Ruochen, “The Saint Arrow Marquis is one of the top first marquises . He studies the Arrow Way, so he can be called the Saint Arrow . His golden dragon bone bow and ten destructive arrows are all unusual saint weapons . They have the mysterious power to kill Saints . ”

 Zhang Ruochen hadn’t specifically studied the Arrow Way before, but he could also see that the Saint Arrow Marquis was much more advanced than him .

 “I heard that first marquises can go against Saint Kings,” Zhang Ruochen said . “Is that true?”

 “First marquises have different levels too,” Luosha Princess said . “But even the weakest first marquises can exchange a few blows with a Saint King and can even survive . The strong marquises can even kill some weaker Saint Kings . ”

 Just then, Zhang Ruochen felt something dangerous . He saw that the Saint Arrow Marquis on the ground was aiming at his forehead with a golden arrow .

 Kaboom!

 The Saint Arrow Marquis cracked his mouth open and loosened his fingers . The golden arrow flew out . The sky and earth within hundreds of miles shook violently .

 Zhang Ruochen immediately took the Monument Shield out and pressed forward . Immediately, a large mass of thunder and fire flooded out, crashing against the golden arrow .

 The power contained in the golden arrow was huge . It even sent Zhang Ruochen back, falling off of the nine-headed bird .

 Boom .

 The Saint Arrow Marquis immediately shot his second arrow . It flew at Qing Mo like a golden streak .

 Qing Mo immediately activated her defensive rune scroll . Layers of light and shield prints emerged, wrapping around her tightly .

 Boom, boom .

 A string of explosions sounded .

 Twenty-three defensive runes exploded in a row and finally dissolved the arrow’s power .

 However, the arrow’s force still sent her flying to the ground .

 The Saint Arrow Marquis was obviously a bit disappointed and annoyed at failing to kill his enemy two times in a row . He quickly pulled his bow back and fired five arrows continuously . They were all aimed at the Luosha Princess and nine-headed bird .

 The Luosha Princess and nine-headed bird didn’t go straight up against him . They voluntarily flew to the ground and met up with Zhang Ruochen .

 “Condense . ”

 The Luosha Princess pressed forward with one hand . She released spatial power .

 Instantly, the space before her finger froze and solidified . It wanted to seal the five arrows .

 Crack, crack .

 It only blocked the arrows for a second . The strong power inside the arrows broke apart the frozen space and continued flying toward them .

 Zhang Ruochen’s eyes hardened . He appeared beside the Luosha Princess and pressed forward with both hands . He also struck with spatial power . Combined with the Luosha Princess’s spatial power, they finally sealed the five arrows .

 “Drat . ”

 The Saint Arrow Marquis’s expression changed slightly . He quickly formed a print technique with his hands to collect the five arrows .

 Zhang Ruochen stepped forward . Divine Fire Jingmie poured out of his hands . He started refining the five arrows while stopping them from flying back .

 One thousand miles away, many cultivators were hidden, observing the battle .

 Sword Saint Jiuyou’s long hair fell down on either side of his face . He stood under a bare tree and looked in the direction of the Phoenix Nest . “He can actually fight the Saint Arrow Marquis now . That Zhang Ruochen has matured terrifyingly fast . Xuanji really had a good disciple . It’s enviable . ”

 Sword Saint Jiuyou’s three main disciples, Wang Su, Yan Yulong, and Chen Fang were behind him . They had unnatural expressions . They didn’t feel good inside, but they had to be impressed .

 Zhang Ruochen was indeed strong . They couldn’t fight him .

 Wang Su, first disciple of Jiuyou, looked to be in his thirties . He had a cold Yin aura . “It doesn’t matter how strong Zhang Ruochen is,” he said in a low voice . “He’s already joined Guanghan Field . He’s only a traitor of Kunlun’s Field . Even if Sword Saint Xuanji hasn’t died, he would die from anger . ”

 “A large group of Luosha has sealed the way into Phoenix Nest,” Yan Yulong said . “We can’t go in at all . Now that Zhang Ruochen is opening up the path before us, it’s good news for us . ”

 Chen Fang carried a broadsword . He looked quite young . “The four top first marquises have all gathered at the Phoenix Nest . In addition, there’s a large group of second and third marquises . There are countless more lower marquises too . Even Zhang Ruochen can’t open the seal by himself!”

 Sword Saint Jiuyou had a sharp expression . “Let’s keep waiting! A group of strong cultivators from Kunlun’s Field is also hurrying over . It won’t be easy for the Luosha to keep control of the Phoenix Nest . ”

 Just as Zhang Ruochen was collecting the five arrows, a mass of evil clouds poured out behind the Saint Arrow Marquis . One could make out thousands of Luosha marquises flying in the clouds, screaming .

 Luosha Princess’s expression changed . “Retreat . ”

 Zhang Ruochen glanced at the dark red cloud . He didn’t feel fear, but it was clear to him that there were many strong figures from the Shatuo Seven Fields nearby . None of them were attacking . Why should he do all the work?

 They could first learn how many strong figures the Luosha had and then think of a way to enter the Phoenix Nest .

 Thus, Zhang Ruochen grabbed the five arrows and used the Great Spatial Move . He brought Qing Mo out of the Phoenix Nest’s area .

 It was strange that the Saint Arrow Marquis had lost five arrows but didn’t pursue him .

 When he was 2,000 miles away, Zhang Ruochen sensed Mu Lingxi’s aura . Bu Ji and Su Qingling were with her too . The three quickly appeared in Zhang Ruochen’s sights .
