Chapter 1589: Chapter 1589 - Killing A Fifth Step Saint King
The human who stopped Shang Feng was Zhang Ruochen, naturally .
Shang Feng was very confused . He couldn’t help but look down at the hallucination flower in his hand and back up . “The hallucination flower’s mirage can fool a seventh step Saint King . How can you see me? How could you discover me?”
Zhang Ruochen held the Abyss Ancient Sword in one hand and the Emperor Yi Bone Staff in the other . “No matter how strong your hallucination is, you’re still in the space,” he said nonchalantly .
“Space…”
Shang Feng released his Spiritual Power to check around him . After confirming there were no other cultivators, he let out a laugh . “You really are Zhang Ruochen, ha . If you hide in Hundred Flower Palace, you might be able to live a few more days . Why did you come out to die?”
Kaboom!
Boundless and terrifying saintly might poured out of Shang Feng . His body was like a saintly mountain and his eyes were like the sun and moon . Beams of Holy Qi flowed through the space like rivers .
This was a fifth step Saint King’s might .
Zhang Ruochen’s hair and clothes all fluttered and his body was like a boat in the vast sea . He could get torn apart by Shang Feng’s saintly power at any time .
Demonic flames burned in Shang Feng’s eyes . “A mere half-step Saint King dares to come kill a fifth step Saint King . Don’t you know that no matter how injured a fifth step Saint King is, killing a half-step Saint King is still as easy as crushing an ant?”
“Unfortunately, I’m not an ant . ”
Zhang Ruochen put up his spatial domain, enveloping hundreds of meters in radius . This area was now isolated from the outside world .
Seeing his abnormal action, Shang Feng grew cautious . He was worried that an accident would happen, so he took the initiative and attacked, striking with a demonic flame claw print .
Even though he was injured, Shang Feng was still very powerful . This claw print was able to kill a second step Saint King .
On the other hand, Zhang Ruochen circulated his Holy Qi . Over 10,000 runes appeared on his Abyss Ancient Sword and he dragged out a long black streak of light .
“Sword with No Regrets . ”
Not only did he use his completed Sword Seven, he also added 93 Rules of Truth to double this strike’s power .
Boom, boom .
There was a string of explosions .
The mighty force crashed through the spatial domain, shattering the street under their feet . Dozens of shocking sword gashes were left behind .
The Abyss Ancient Sword shattered Shang Feng’s claw print, turning it into balls of demonic smoke that landed on the ground . They burned the ground into pits of lava .
However, Zhang Ruochen was also forced back a dozen meters by the claw print . He half knelt onto the ground to lower his core and steady himself .
A shocked expression appeared on Shang Feng’s face . Even though he’d casually struck out that claw, a half-step Saint King shouldn’t be able to take it .
“No wonder you can be number one on the Saints Merits Rank . You aren’t average . ” Shang Feng grew serious .
Zhang Ruochen stood up slowly and looked at the injury on his right hand . Immense pain came from there .
“The difference in cultivation is still too large,” he muttered to himself . “With my physical strength, I still got hurt after facing your attack squarely . ”
“At least you know that we have a large difference in cultivation . ”
The saintly power that burst from Shang Feng multiplied countless times . Black demonic flames burned all over him, causing the temperature within the spatial domain to skyrocket . It was a dozen times hotter than boiling water .
Zhang Ruochen naturally wasn’t arrogant enough to think that he could fight with a fifth step Saint King .
Earlier, Shang Feng had underestimated Zhang Ruochen, wanting to suppress him with a casual strike . Zhang Ruochen had wanted to test his current strength, so he went squarely against Shang Feng .
Thud!
Zhang Ruochen raised the Emperor Yi Bone Staff and stabbed it into the ground . He held the skull at the top and added in a beam of Spiritual Power .
“Lava Nether Fire Palm . ”
Shang Feng’s demonic flames rose in temperature again, melting the ground underfoot into golden liquid . He formed fist prints and struck powerfully .
Zhang Ruochen’s skin stung from the demonic flames . “Emperor Yi,” he uttered . “Awaken!”
Whoosh!
Icy Qi poured out of the Emperor Yi Bone Staff and it stood up, transforming into a huge black skeleton . There was a golden sarira embedded in the forehead, emanating with a divine aura .
Evil and divine forces were interwoven .
The black skeleton slapped forward, sending Shang Feng’s palm force flooding back .
Boom!
Shang Feng couldn’t block the black skeleton’s palm force and stumbled back a dozen steps . He was already hurt . After taking this hit, he couldn’t push down the injuries and coughed out blood .
“This… This is King Hun’s Emperor Yi Bone Staff…”
Shang Feng’s expression grew uncomfortable as he shook his head . “No, his staff isn’t so powerful . ”
“Emperor Yi Bone Staff indeed isn’t this powerful, but I embedded a Buddha’s sarira, so now, it’s this powerful . ”
Zhang Ruochen held the Abyss Ancient Sword and followed the black skeleton, activating the runes in his sword again .
The Emperor Yi Bone Staff was created from the skeleton and spine of a Supreme Saint . The skull also preserved a shred of the Supreme Saint’s soul, so it could unleash the power of a third step Saint King .
But after embedding the Buddha’s sarira, the staff was probably comparable to a peak fourth step Saint King now . It was far stronger than Zhang Ruochen .
The black skeleton attacked Shang Feng, striking with a black palm print . The print contained strings of golden Buddhist patterns that contained both just and evil strength .
Shang Feng was forced back again and he felt frustrated .
If the Fairy Extreme King and others hadn’t hurt him, his cultivation would be able to suppress the black skeleton and Zhang Ruochen .
Plus, to stop the Medicine King and Heaven Fire King’s last attack, Shang Feng had used all his defensive treasures . Now, his injuries would worsen with each hit he took from the black skeleton .
If I kill Zhang Ruochen, the Emperor Yi Bone Staff will just be a dead object .
Shang Feng stopped going up against the black skeleton . He used demonic steps and rushed out from between the skeleton’s legs, slapping toward Zhang Ruochen . This palm was at least three times stronger than his previous strike .
No matter how strong Zhang Ruochen was, he would either be injured greatly or killed by this strike .
But, much to Shang Feng’s annoyance, Zhang Ruochen didn’t face him squarely . Instead, he used the Spatial Move and appeared behind him, hacking down with his sword .
“You want to die?”
Shang Feng slapped backward and hit the Abyss Ancient Sword squarely .
Boom!
It was the sound of metal clashing . Zhang Ruochen flew backward, landing on the black skeleton’s head . His entire arm was numb with pain .
It couldn’t be helped . Shang Feng’s cultivation was too advanced . He could block the Abyss Ancient Sword with his bare hands . This power was indeed far above Zhang Ruochen .
But Shang Feng was even more frustrated . He was a fifth step Saint King, but he couldn’t even manage a half-step Saint King . This made him go crazy and he wanted to crush Zhang Ruochen .
Whatever . I must kill Zhang Ruochen even if it affects my injuries .
Earlier, Shang Feng had been worried that he would worsen his condition if he used too much force, leaving incurable injuries, so he restricted his cultivation to below a fifth step Saint King .
Now, he couldn’t care about that, because he couldn’t kill Zhang Ruochen without using a fifth step Saint King’s power .
If he killed Zhang Ruochen and made this great achievement, he would receive a high position in the Black Demon Field . Otherwise, his future would be extremely difficult because he’d infiltrated Thousand Pistil Field for so long and had no connections in the Black Demon Field .
Zhang Ruochen sensed Shang Feng’s aura strengthening and immediately moved the black skeleton to attack .
He also opened all 144 apertures . Holy Qi poured out, activating the fifth layer of power of the Hundred Saint Blood Armor .
Whoosh!
One hundred saintly projections flew out, standing all around the spatial domain . They guarded Zhang Ruochen like stars around the moon . Each projection had the power of an Absolute Land Saint .
The Hundred Saint Blood Armor had eight levels of power according to the respective realms: lower, middle, upper, Xuanhuang, Absolute Land, Heaven Pass, True, and Absolute Realm .
With Zhang Ruochen’s current cultivation, he could only unleash the sixth level . But if he did, it would be like 100 Heaven Pass Saints on him . It would push him down until he was immobile .
But if he unleashed the fifth level and had 100 Absolute Land Saints on him, he could still be very fast .
Boom!
Shang Feng used the power of a fifth step Saint King and stepped forward . An energy wave spread from the ground, making the black skeleton and Zhang Ruochen lose balance .
Boom!
Shang Feng punched the black skeleton in the chest, sending it flying .
Zhang Ruochen took this opportunity to condense the power of the 100 Saints . Like a war god in blood armor, he lifted the Abyss Ancient Sword and cut down on Shang Feng’s waist .
“This sword’s power isn’t bad, but you’re still not a third step Saint King . You’re nothing more than an ant to me . ”
Shang Feng pressed down on the blade and actually grabbed the Abyss Ancient Sword, resolving all the power in that strike . Then he waved his arm, slamming the Abyss Ancient Sword and Zhang Ruochen onto the ground .
But before Zhang Ruochen could land, he vanished .
“The Spatial Move again . ”
Shang Feng sensed small spatial ripples behind him .
His eyes hardened immediately . He took a step forward, stepping on the Abyss Ancient Sword’s blade . His overwhelming power crushed down like a mountain .
“Die!”
Shang Feng formed a palm print as fast as lightning and slapped Zhang Ruochen’s head .
Whoosh!
Zhang Ruochen vanished again, dodging Shang Feng’s fatal attack .
The next moment, he reappeared around 30 feet from Shang Feng . He knelt on the ground, panting for breath . The previous attacks had been extremely dangerous . If he’d been half an instant slower, he would’ve gotten killed .
Even with his precise calculations and escaping with the Spatial Move after each attack, he still got injured internally from Shang Feng’s palm force .
The black skeleton climbed up and returned to Zhang Ruochen’s side . His ghostly eyes stared at Shang Feng across from him .
Right now, Shang Feng felt his body turning extremely weak, as if he’d aged 200 years . This weakness felt even worse than his injuries .
“How can this be?”
Terror filled Shang Feng’s eyes . His body trembled and he couldn’t steady himself .
Different from him, Zhang Ruochen was filled with vibrant battle intent . He raised his Abyss Ancient Sword . Staring at the time print on it, he said smoothly, “It’s the power of time . ”
His earlier strikes hadn’t meant to kill Shang Feng . Instead, he put many time prints onto Shang Feng to cut down his lifespan and weaken him .
The end was imminent, so Zhang Ruochen revealed this secret .
“Emperor Yi, go . Kill him,” Zhang Ruochen said indifferently .
