God Emperor - Chapter 900

Chapter 900

Holding the Killing Token, Feng Qin stood in the center of the windstorm . Rings of black currents spun around him, radiating an icy and evil Qi .

He was now almost 20 feet tall and could look down on Zhang Ruochen . “Zhang Ruochen, it’s undeniably a pain for you to continue living on in this world,” he said . “Let me send you on the way to end your tragic life . ”

Feng Qin raised the Killing Token once again . The token, dozens of feet long, was covered in dense runes . One could vaguely make out a man-shaped apparition become one with the Killing Token .

Zhang Ruochen stared at the figure with frigid eyes . “I’m afraid you’re not enough to kill me,” he uttered .

Clang!

The Abyss Ancient Sword produced a shrill sound . It flew toward Zhang Ruochen and hovered before him . It had already refined the four blood blades and had absorbed enough power to recover its status as a Thousand-pattern Saint Weapon .

Zhang Ruochen’s Holy Qi and Sword Intent streamed into the sword . A distant voice said, “Hundreds of years have passed . Zhang…Zhang Ruochen, how can you…only awaken me now?”

This was the sword spirit communicating with its master . Outsiders couldn’t hear it .

Hearing the familiar voice, Zhang Ruochen tried to control his excitement . “Abyss, fight this battle with me first and get past this obstacle . I have many things to ask you . ”

“Fine . I’ve slept for too long and my thoughts have slowed down . I do need a good battle to return to my peak state . ”

The next moment, the Abyss Ancient Sword shone with black light that flooded in all directions . At first, the black light only shrouded Zhang Ruochen . Gradually, the entire battle platform fell into darkness .

Looking up from the bottom, one could only see a huge black sphere like a black hole hovering in the sky . Even with the Half-Saint Eye, one could only vaguely see that the black sphere consisted of thousands upon thousands of Sword Qi .

“Zhang Ruochen is gravely injured and at the brink of death . How can he still fight?”

“Why does it feel like…Zhang Ruochen has gotten stronger?”

Jian Kongzi stood behind Wan Zhaoyi . The Sword Saint on his back shook violently .

Shock filled his eyes . “It’s not that Zhang Ruochen has gotten stronger . It’s that black sword . It has reached the Thousand-pattern Saint Weapon level and become one with Zhang Ruochen . He’s reached the Human Sword state . ”

Of all the people present, only Jian Kongzi was a true swordsman . He’d already completed Sword Three and was naturally the most qualified to speak .

A Half-Saint from the Ministry of War asked, “How does one reach the Human Sword state?”

“In swordsmanship, that’s the most advanced method,” Jian Kongzi said . “Not only does the swordsman’s cultivation need to reach the Human Sword state, he also needs a saint sword that has both the highest level of material and sword spirit . The sword spirit and master must have a certain type of chemistry to become one with each other . ”

Jian Kongzi stared at the Abyss Ancient Sword with envy . A swordsman’s lifetime goal was to find and develop a sword like that .

A sword was a swordsman’s best friend .

On the battle platform, Zhang Ruochen and the Abyss Ancient Sword became one . If was as if only the sword remained, but also as if only Zhang Ruochen remained .

The man was the sword . The sword was the man .

Whoosh .

The black sword flew out with a streak of dark light . Feng Qin had fought against swordsmen before, but he’d never faced a situation like this .

Controlling the Killing Token, he blocked before him .

Boom .

A strong shockwave surged from the sword . At the same time, Sword Qi gathered from all over . It crashed against the Killing Token, producing a mass of fiery-red sparks .

Feng Qin’s arms popped . He took three steps back before he dissolved the powerful force .

It was fortunate that he’d used special material to create the Killing Token . If it had been a Hundred-pattern Saint Weapon, this strike would have disabled it .

The Abyss Ancient Sword spun in the air and then struck again, attacking Feng Qin’s neck . He was forced to block the attack with the Killing Token again .

The tides had finally turned . Zhang Ruochen was suppressing Feng Qin .

Feng Qin was still a powerful figure . No matter how aggressive or mysterious Zhang Ruochen’s moves were, they couldn’t get past his defense . His cultivation and combat abilities were clearly at the peak of the sixth level Half-Saint Realm . No one in the same level could defeat him, even if they had the Saint Body .

However, Feng Qin was still feeling difficulty .

The Abyss Ancient Sword was too sharp . Every strike would leave a gash on the Killing Token . It wouldn’t be long before the Killing Token was destroyed too . How could he block Zhang Ruochen without it?

Pow!

Zhang Ruochen struck dozens of times at once . The Killing Token finally couldn’t take it anymore and a crack appeared .

Feng Qin couldn’t accept this . His cultivation was clearly higher than Zhang Ruochen . How could he lose?

Furthermore, losing meant death .

No matter what, he had to try again before the Killing Token was completely broken .

“Zhang Ruochen, you are indeed shockingly skilled . You’re actually forcing me to take out my last trump card . However, this will still come to an end,” he said . “Burning Wood God-connecting Technique . ”

Feng Qin’s body was like a piece of burning wood . It crackled and popped . The muscular 20-foot-tall body quickly shrunk . A moment later, he was like a human-shaped pole .

The Burning Wood God-connecting Technique was a “God-connecting Technique” from the Ancient Wizard Way .

The Wizard Way was more ancient than the three current ways . It was the way that humans cultivated in the historic times . After the three Major Ways became established, the Wizard Way faded out of the spotlight .

Even if there were heirs or secret spells later on of the Wizard Way, there wasn’t any truly successful figure .

The God-connecting Technique burned a Monk’s Blood Qi, Spiritual Qi, and Holy Qi so he could produce ten times more power in a short time . Most of the secret spells that stimulated one’s fighting abilities came from the God-connecting Technique .

The Burning Wood God-connecting Technique was one of them .

Casting a spell like this had huge side effects . Not only did it harm one’s vitality, there was also the risk of falling into a lower cultivation realm . Thus, no one used it unless there was no other choice .

The power waves on Feng Qin kept rising . The force radiating from him swept across the entire platform .

Kaboom!

The Killing Token fell down . This was it .

At this moment, the Abyss Ancient Sword also radiated with destructive power . The thousands of runes emerged, forming the Destruction of the Thousand-patterns .

Zhang Ruochen couldn’t do anything else . Only the Destruction of the Thousand-patterns could resist this attack .

Feng Qin was gambling his life . So was Zhang Ruochen .

Swish! As the Abyss Ancient Sword came down, it sliced through the Killing Token and Feng Qin as if they were made out of tofu . Bright red blood flooded out of Feng Qin’s waist .

Even at his death, Feng Qin was still shocked . He reached out and pointed at Zhang Ruochen with difficulty . “You…you…dare to use the…Destruction of…Thousand…patterns…”

With a thud, the lower half of Feng Qin’s body dropped onto the ground .

Zhang Ruochen leaned heavily on the bloody Abyss Ancient Sword . He stared at the corpse and breathed heavily . “Why did you think that I wouldn’t use it?”

He’d been forced to choose between life and death . He couldn’t care about all that .

When Feng Qin fell, everyone present felt suffocated . Some people were shocked, some didn’t understand, and others were dazed .

Then the crowd started bubbling with discussions .

“Feng Qin could’ve defeated Zhang Ruochen, but he risked everything before dying to make Feng Qin die with him . ”

“Two regional kings of the Ministry of War died in a row . They’re both sixth level Half-Saints too . This loss is too much . Who will fight next?”

“No matter who it is, they can defeat Zhang Ruochen easily . He’s used up all his Holy Qi with the Destruction of the Thousand-patterns . He doesn’t have the strength to keep fighting . ”

Everyone knew that once Zhang Ruochen used the Destruction of the Thousand-patterns, it meant he would die on the platform . But even if he died, he would still have glory .

After all, he’d been in the Central Region for less a month, but he’d already killed countless Kings of the Ministry of War . Even the high-level Half-Saints of the Demonic Sect, Black Market, and Death Zen Sect didn’t have such outstanding track records .

The various Half-Saints could also see that Zhang Ruochen was like a fish on the butcher’s board now . Anyone could cut him up .

“I’ll go take Zhang Ruochen’s life now . ”

“Zhao Luo, your cultivation is too low . Let me go . ”

“You’re only a third level Half-Saint . How can you say my cultivation is low?”

…

After a round of fights, Tong Dong, King of Jinyue, rushed out first and got onto the platform .

Right now, Zhang Ruochen was very weak . He’d used up about 80% of his Holy Qi . The only reason why he hadn’t fallen was because the Abyss Ancient Sword was supporting him .

However, Zhang Ruochen wasn’t completely powerless .

Tong Dong’s cultivation wasn’t very high . He was only a third level Half-Saint . He was naturally overjoyed that he could rush out of the various Half-Saints and nab the chance to kill Zhang Ruochen .

This was why he’d underestimated his enemy .

Before he could even settle on the battle platform, Zhang Ruochen had already activated his Spiritual Power . He struck Tong Dong with a ten-foot-long lightning blade .

Crack!

Tong Dong grunted and flew back . Tiny bolts of lightning covered his entire body . A long bloody gash opened up on his abdomen .
