God Emperor - Chapter 949

Chapter 949: 949

Zhang Ruochen immediately looked up at the incoming elephant foot . He wasn’t panicked at all and instead, seemed composed . He extended a finger and pointed .

Two hundred feet away from his finger, various patches of spatial power grouped together and consolidated . After all the spatial power at that point was consolidated to the max, there was a boom . The outside caved in, forming a hundred-meter-wide zone of broken space .

The saint elephant’s foot happened to collide with the broken space .

Poof .

Because of the spatial attack, the huge elephant’s leg shattered instantly, dissolving into a cloud of bloody mist . After losing one foot, the Celestial Divine Elephant lost its balance . It collapsed to the ground with a boom .

Zhao Shiqi used his Spiritual Power beforehand to create a gust of wind . He used it on him to fly more than 1,000 meters in the air .

“Spatial power…how can this be…can he be…the Time and Space Descendant…”

Zhao Shiqi looked down at the still-chaotic space, unable to keep calm . He abruptly felt something cold on his neck . He looked down . He was met with an ancient black sword propped across his shoulder . It shone faintly .

Zhang Ruochen was standing behind Zhao Shiqi, holding a sword with one hand . “Isn’t it too late for you to guess my identity now?”

“You’re Zhang Ruochen . ” Zhao Shiqi tried to suppress his fear and shock and appear calm .

Zhang Ruochen put the Ancient Abyss Sword away . He stepped into the air and casually strolled to Zhao Shiqi . “Speak! Who told you to come kill me?”

Seeing that Zhang Ruochen had put his sword away, Zhao Shiqi actually felt the impulse to use his Spiritual Power and attack .

However, after calculating seriously, he gave up on that . Zhang Ruochen was too close to him right now . If Zhang Ruochen wanted to kill him, it would be as easy as killing a regular person .

A Spiritual Power Half-Saint was only suitable for long-distance attacks . Once a Martial Half-Saint of the same level approached him, only death awaited .

Clenching his jaw, Zhao Shiqi muttered, “You’ll still kill me after I tell you . ”

“Perhaps not . ” Zhang Ruochen shook his head . “As 47th level Spiritual Power Half-Saint and also a powerful beast trainer, you’re still useful . As long as you don’t try any tricks, not only will I not kill you, I might even put you in an important position . ”

Zhao Shiqi understood what Zhang Ruochen was saying and his eye twitched . “You want me to work for you? You know that this is the Blood God Sect . If I reveal your information, you won’t be able to escape alive no matter how powerful you are . ”

“Don’t worry,” Zhang Ruochen said . “Even if I die, you’ll die before me . ”

Zhao Shiqi gradually relaxed . He wasn’t as nervous as before, because if Zhang Ruochen wanted to kill him, he wouldn’t say all this . Since Zhang Ruochen didn’t plan on killing him, then he was qualified to negotiate .

“Zhang Ruochen,” Zhao Shiqi said . “You’re the Time and Space Descendant and have powerful Qi . You’ve also cultivated the Tenth Change of the Fish-Dragon Realm and will definitely become a dominating figure of Kunlun’s Field . I can follow you, but what can you give me?”

The Ming Sect had just been established and was in the process of enlisting members . Zhang Ruochen was very willing to take in a rare talent like Zhao Shiqi . If he couldn’t, then he could still kill the man .

Zhang Ruochen studied him . “You should be close to 200 years old, correct?”

Zhao Shiqi’s eyes darkened . He was indeed close to 200 years old .

For both Martial and Spiritual Power Half-Saints, 200 years old was a big trial .

Once a Martial Half-Saint became 200 years old, their Blood Qi would start to fall and their bodies would start to age . If they didn’t have divine pills or medicine, it would be very hard to improve after that .

Spiritual Power Half-Saints were a bit better off . Their Spiritual Powers could continue growing after 200 years old, but it would slow down .

With Zhao Shiqi’s age, the 48th level of Spiritual Power would be his limit . It might be possible that he would never reach the 48th level .

“What if I tell you that only I can help you reach the Saint Realm of Spiritual Power?” Zhang Ruochen asked . “Would you join me?”

“Really?” Zhao Shiqi’s eyes shone with hot light . He couldn’t repress his excitement .

Zhang Ruochen was still calm . “You should’ve heard that I found a divine medicine in the netherworld . ”

“Of course,” Zhao Shiqi said . “I heard that you used it to revive Sword Saint Xuanji . ”

Zhang Ruochen’s fame in Kunlun’s Field could compete with a Saint of the older generation now . His every action was scrutinized by all the Monks . The Time and Space Descendant wasn’t just a title .

“The medicine that I found is called Seven Star Sacred Tuber . ”

Zhao Shiqi clearly knew the effect of the Seven Star Sacred Tuber . After hearing the name, his excitement grew immediately . “According to legends, the first leaf is like a dragon . After eating it, one can cultivate to the…Supreme Saint Realm of Spiritual Power . ”

“Why are you so excited?” Zhang Ruochen asked . “I never said that I’ll give you the Blue Dragon Leaf . At most, I’ll only give you a drop of dew from the leaf . ”

Zhao Shiqi immediately chuckled and put on an ingratiating expression . “Even if you give me the Blue Dragon Leaf, I won’t be able to absorb it with my Spiritual Power . I only need some drops of dew from the leaf . The power contained in the dew is enough to push my cultivation to the 50th level and become a Spiritual Power Saint . Once I become a Saint, my vitality will increase greatly . ”

“So have you already decided to follow me?” Zhang Ruochen asked . “You really believe that I have the Seven Star Sacred Tuber?”

Zhao Shiqi froze before smiling immediately . “Lord Zhang has cultivated to your current state at such a young age . You definitely have an unlimited future . Even if you don’t have the Seven Star Sacred Tuber, I’m still willing to follow you for life . ”

With that, Zhao Shiqi lowered himself onto one knee . He put a hand on his chest and made a gesture to show his loyalty .

To Zhao Shiqi, he wouldn’t accomplish anything greater if he continued to stay in the Blood God Sect . It would be hard to reach a higher level . However, if he followed a young legend like Zhang Ruochen, he might be able to create a new future .

Throughout Kunlun’s Field’s history, there’d been many kings who’d been able to dominate an era . The followers of those kings all had countless benefits, becoming top cultivators that the others could only look up to .

Zhang Ruochen’s current accomplishments were more impressive than those kings in their younger days .

If he became some emperor in the future, then Zhao Shiqi’s decision to follow him now would reap great benefits . By then, the Discipline Kings and palace leaders of the Blood God Sect would try to kiss up to him .

Basically, Zhao Shiqi was gambling the last few decades of his life for a future .

“Get up!” Zhang Ruochen said . “Tell me, who wants to kill me?”

Zhao Shiqi rose and answered seriously, “Lord, it is the Deity . ”

“Mei Lanzhu?”

Zhang Ruochen smiled . His performance on Poluo Mountain was indeed very talented . However, he couldn’t threaten Mei Lanzhu’s status as the Deity . Thus, it had to be the other reason: Shangguan Xianyan, Saintess of the Blood God Sect .

Zhang Ruochen shook his head . “Mei Lanzhu was tenth of the Kings at the Heir Banquet . He’s known as one of the top 20 talents of Kunlun’s Field . How can he be so petty?”

Zhang Ruochen had flirted with Shangguan Xianyan to support his disguise . He didn’t actually want to pursue her . He didn’t expect that this would almost kill him .

Zhao Shiqi chuckled coldly . “Lord, how about we go to the Nether Heavenly Palace and secretly kill Mei Lanzhu? You can be the Deity . ”

Admittedly, Zhao Shiqi’s suggestion was quite tempting .

After all, the status of “Gu Linfeng” was too low . He couldn’t reach the core secrets of the Blood God Sect at all . His movements were restricted too .

If he could become the Deity, things would change greatly . There were two ways to become the Deity .

The first was to kill Mei Lanzhu . Then Zhang Ruochen could use the Traceless 36 Changes to change into him and become the new Mei Lanzhu .

However, Mei Lanzhu and Gu Linfeng were different . Mei Lanzhu had always been cultivating in the Blood God Sect . He grew up under the watch of the founder and various elders . They were all familiar with him .

It was hard for Zhang Ruochen to transform into him flawlessly . After all, the old guys of the Blood God Sect weren’t stupid . Each one was wiser than the last . It wasn’t easy to fool them .

In that case, there was only one more plan: kill Mei Lanzhu, then use Gu Linfeng’s identity to compete for the Deity’s position .

If he could hide in the Blood God Sect as the Deity, he could be under the radar while also receiving great amounts of cultivation resources .

After a moment of thinking, Zhang Ruochen said, “Let’s put this to the side now . We’ll consider it in the future . I have another important matter right now . I must hurry to the Nether Heavenly Palace immediately . ”

Zhang Ruochen flew back to the top of the mountain . He reached Su Bai’s body and checked her Sea of Qi . The strike earlier had destroyed her Sea of Qi and also shattered her saint soul . She was deader than dead .

He found some saint stones, pills, and secret scrolls from Su Bai . He also found three drops of the Blood God’s divine blood . The divine blood could be used against the corrosion of the Blood God Venomous Work, but it could also be fed to the worms to strengthen them .

Zhang Ruochen put it all in his spatial ring . Then he looked to Zhao Shiqi in the distance .

Zhao Shiqi was standing before the Celestial Divine Elephant’s head . He took out healing medicine from his arms and fed it to the elephant .

It seems that he’s really my man now, Zhang Ruochen thought . He might be useful when we get to the Nether Heavenly Palace .

Zhang Ruochen had put space between him and Zhao Shiqi earlier as a test . If Zhao Shiqi had been pretending, he would’ve definitely attacked Zhang Ruochen just then, or escaped to spread news about Zhang Ruochen .

Since he didn’t do so, Zhang Ruochen decided to continue trusting him .
