God Emperor - Chapter 996

Chapter 996: 996

Bloody light poured out of Pearl Light Pavilion . It swept through the Black Market like a flood . All the large forces were hit .

The shields of the defense formations around the forces nearest to Pearl Light Pavilion quivered continuously . All the Monks were terrified . They feared that their defenses would shatter and they’d be affected .

In the distance, Kong Hongbi stood at the top of the tower and stared at Pearl Light Pavilion .

When he saw Zhang Ruochen burst out with Beauty Shi, Kong Hongbi laughed . “He thinks he can escape with a saint decree?”

Kong Hongbi took out a jade badge . Gripping it between two fingers, it hit the air .

Zhang Ruochen flew like a shooting star, thanks to the saint decree’s power .

Boom!

The jade badge burst apart, transforming into a red mirror-like shield, hundreds of feet wide . It stood before Zhang Ruochen and Beauty Shi, stopping them .

The shield radiated with blazing heat . Even metal would melt if it approached the shield .

Kong Hongbi sneered coldly . “Yan Xu, Gui Gu, you two go kill Zhang Ruochen, but Beauty Shi must be kept alive . ”

As soon as Zhang Ruochen and Beauty Shi landed, two beams of Death Qi surged over .

Whoosh .

Whoosh .

Saint Generals Yan Xu and Gui Gu appeared simultaneously . They appeared less than 100 meters before and behind Zhang Ruochen .

They released their saint soul territories . Spiritual Qi kept flowing towards them, strengthening their auras .

Zhang Ruochen’s eyes were cold . “If you don’t retreat now, I can spare you because of your ancestors . ”

Saint General Yan Xu found him laughable . “Spare us? You should revere a ninth level Half-Saint . Perhaps you’ll be qualified to speak like that in ten more years . As for now, you’re too far off . ”

“He doesn’t have a chance to wait ten more years,” Saint General Gui Gu rasped . He laughed .

Zhang Ruochen looked in the direction of the Pearl Light Pavilion . Dozens of figures had burst out, hurrying towards him . Thus, he stopped warning the two Saint Generals . Brandishing the Abyss Ancient Sword, he charged forward .

“Good . Let me see just how skilled the so-called Time and Space Descendant is . ”

Saint General Yan Xu had two purple shields . They were curved like arm plates that melded perfectly with his arms .

Crackle . Dozens of thick purple bolts of lightning shot out of the shields and his arms . They streaked around him .

The buildings on either side of the road couldn’t bear the force of the lightning . They all collapsed with booms .

A ninth level Half-Saint was at the top of all Saint Generals . He was naturally powerful . A regular high-level Half-Saint couldn’t be compared to him .

Saint General Yan Xu punched, hitting Zhang Ruochen’s chest with dozens of lightning bolts .

Frozen Space, Zhang Ruochen thought .

Saint General Yan Xu and his dozens of lightning bolts froze in an instant . They seemed to be sealed within transparent ice .

With a flash of sword light, Zhang Ruochen rushed past Saint General Yan Xu . The Saint General’s head flew away . It landed on the street with a thud like a blood-red watermelon .

At the same time, the lightning bolts flew forward to Saint General Gui Gu .

The Saint General struck with two palm prints to dissolve the lightning bolts . He was about to berate Yan Xu, but he discovered the man had become a headless corpse in the middle of the street .

He killed a ninth level Half-Saint with one strike?

Saint General Gui Gu widened his eyes in disbelief . Sweat beaded on his forehead .

Zhang Ruochen’s cultivation was so low, but he could already kill a ninth level Half-Saint? Even if Yan Xu underestimated his enemy, it was still extraordinary for Zhang Ruochen to be able to kill him with one strike .

Zhang Ruochen’s abilities were even more terrifying than Bu Qianfan’s .

Kong Hongbi flew over . He stood in the air and stared at Saint General Yan Xu’s corpse . He felt pained but also furious . “No wonder he’s the Time and Space Descendant . I’ve underestimated him . ”

“Zhang Ruochen’s abilities might not be strong, but his power of time and space is disconcerting,” Saint General Gui Gu said . “I can kill him with my cultivation . I just need to be careful . ”

He put away his fear and shock and recovered his will to fight . He didn’t believe that, as a ninth level Half-Saint, he couldn’t handle Zhang Ruochen .

Kong Hongbi and Saint General Gui Gu didn’t attack immediately . Instead, they watched from the side, trying to figure out a way against the power of time and space .

Because of the two Saint Generals, the Monks of the Demonic Sect had caught up . They surrounded Zhang Ruochen .

Ouyang Huan stood across from him . “Zhang Ruochen, you’re smart . You shouldn’t do stupid things . Hand Beauty Shi to me . If you join the sect genuinely, I can spare you because of Junior Sister Huang . ”

“Because of what you just said, I can spare you tonight . ” Zhang Ruochen scanned his surroundings . He seemed very calm and showed no sign of stepping back .

Ouyang Huan furrowed his brow and shook his head . “Your power of time and space is mysterious, but there’s a big gap between you and I . I have many ways to kill you . Why lose your life for her?”

“A man does what he does,” Zhang Ruochen said . “If Beauty Shi is Qi Feiyu, would you fight the Moon Worship Demonic Sect for her?”

Ouyang Huan fell silent . A moment later, he said, “Junior Sister Huang would be unhappy if she heard that . ”

“Junior Sister Huang” was obviously Huang Yanchen . The nine heirs were all disciples of the Empress, so she was Ouyang Huan’s junior sister .

“Zhang Ruochen, I’ve said everything that I had to say . Since you insist on your choice, I’ll be able to explain to Junior Sister Huang even if I kill you tonight . ”

Ouyang Huan’s voice was relaxed this entire time . Now, it finally became cold as he ordered, “Kill Zhang Ruochen and Beauty Shi . Remember, leave their corpses intact . ”

The next moment, seven elders of the Pearl Light Pavilion charged out . They stood in seven directions, forming a composite attack formation .

These seven elders were all high-level Half-Saints, weaker only than the pavilion lord in Pearl Light Pavilion . Each one was renowned .

Through the composite attack formation, their cultivations were grouped together . Their powers spread thousands of feet wide . An apparition of a giant divine beast formed behind each of them .

Roar .

The seven elders each had a saint weapon . They attacked Zhang Ruochen at once . The seven beastly images also charged, pouncing at Zhang Ruochen from seven directions .

An earth-shaking dragon roar sounded . Then blinding golden light flared from Zhang Ruochen’s body . Scales grew, transforming him into a flying golden dragon .

The dragon spiraled into the air, shattering all seven beastly apparitions . Seeing the flying dragon, the Monks of the forces in the Black Market were all amazed and shocked .

“Is this the Divine Dragon Change?”

“I heard that Zhang Ruochen had eaten the eyes of blood of the golden dragon and can transform into a dragon . With his powers, he’s comparable to even a divine dragon youth . ”

“Unfortunately, Zhang Ruochen’s cultivation is still too weak . He might not be able to break through the seven elders’ Seven Palace Attack Formation . ”

…

Everyone thought that Zhang Ruochen was like a captured beast struggling before death . He would die in the composite formation in the end .

The seven elders moved neatly . They charged and pulled out their saint weapons simultaneously . They activated the runes and attacked the golden dragon .

Abruptly, the dragon shrunk and turned back into Zhang Ruochen . He waved his hand, ripping open a spatial tear . He attacked an elder with a black saint broadsword .

A moment ago, Ouyang Huan had noticed Zhang Ruochen’s intentions and warned, “Elder Ji, Zhang Ruochen will use spatial power . Move right . ”

The elder with the black saint broadsword rushed right and readily dodged Zhang Ruochen’s spatial tear .

Zhang Ruochen glanced at Ouyang Huan, alarms sounding within him . Ouyang Huan could predict his moves . This wasn’t easy and made him feel danger .

After that, the elders all dodged Zhang Ruochen’s spatial attacks thanks to Ouyang Huan’s pointers .

Zhang Ruochen was trapped in the formation and couldn’t break free . It kept shrinking too . The seven elders soon forced Zhang Ruochen into a corner .

“No need to keep dragging it out,” Ouyang Huan ordered . “It should end now! Kill Zhang Ruochen with one last strike!”

The most powerful of the seven elders was in the eighth level . Under his lead, the other six elders also charged forward to give Zhang Ruochen the fatal strike .

Light flashed past Zhang Ruochen’s eyes . He’d pretended to be weak just for this moment .

“Four Changes of Scale One . ”

Five time prints melted into the sword technique . Zhang Ruochen stabbed forward, but it created 25 human and sword shadows that attacked the seven elders at once .

Time within hundreds of meters slowed down . Because of this, the seven elders tried to block Zhang Ruochen’s sword but were a bit slow .

By the time the 25 shadows became one, the seven elders all had gaping holes in their foreheads . Their Seas of Qi had been shattered, their saint souls extinguished .

Thud .

The seven high-level Half-Saints died, falling down at the same time .

Zhang Ruochen’s move had been too brilliant . It floored many people . In the darkness, one could hear many sharp gasps .

Ouyang Huan knew that Zhang Ruochen was skilled in the Way of Sword, but this high level surpassed his expectations .

“I already think highly of you, but I can’t believe I’ve still underestimated you . ”

Looking at the seven corpses, Ouyang Huan sighed . If he hadn’t underestimated Zhang Ruochen, the seven elders wouldn’t have had to die . To the Divine Sect, the deaths of seven advanced Half-Saints was a huge loss . It would alarm the Hierarch .

Zhang Ruochen stood beside Beauty Shi with a bloody sword . “Then, will you fight personally now?”

“I’ve witnessed your power of space and time . It’s indeed powerful, but there are two flaws . ”

Ouyang Huan continued . “First, you need a certain amount of time to prepare to cast the power of space and time . Second, both of them have a limited attack range . I can kill you with only one move . Say your last words now . I can help you send the message . ”

“You discovered my flaws,” Zhang Ruochen said . “Could I not have discovered your flaws too?”

“My flaws?” Ouyang Huan asked .

“You’re too confident,” Zhang Ruochen . “You think you control everything, but you don’t know that some types of power in this world will always be beyond your expectations . Today, I’ll give you a lesson . Instead of killing you, I’ll just disable your legs to teach you . This way, you won’t give up your life because of your confidence . ”
