Chapter 1518: Crown Prince, His Highness
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
There were two hundred saints from Sacred Central Empire, including Granny Baisu and Qin Yutong, who worked for Mingjiang King, Murong Yue from Murong clan, Elephant-swallowing Rabbit and Monster Ape, with Princess White Li, Le, and Han Qiu.
Because of Princess White Li, Le, and Han Qiu, most of them were still alive.
There was a large number of Luosha marquises encircling them, and the evil sha Qi coming out of them formed layers of crimson devil clouds which rushed toward them.
Even Le, Han Qiu and Princess White Li were wounded.
As for the other saints, they were more seriously injured.
Every time the Luosha marquises attacked, several saints were killed and became the food of those Luosha marquises.
“Why are you still struggling? There’s no use. This land is destined to be where all the saints from Heaven World die.”
The phantom of a huge python that was more than three thousand feet long emerged in the evil clouds, and it stretched all the way from the ground to the sky like a mountain. Its blood looked like streams flowing in the python, making a clacking sound.
“Him again.”
Princess White Li looked intimidated.
The master of that phantom was an incredible great being. Princess White Li got that wound on her back from him, and she still hadn’t healed yet. There was a wicked force flowing in Princess White Li’s meridians, which made the injury even worse.
Howl!
The phantom of that giant python yelled.
And then, it waved its tail, stirring up the stones and sand around it and slashing a layer of the ground. Saintly way forces that looked like blades dashed toward the saints before the snake tail did.
Bang!
Bong!
Some of the saints were hit by the saintly way forces, and they were all killed either by losing their heads or organs.
“A mere saintly way force is that incredible.”
Murong Yue’s left shoulder kept bleeding. She looked up at the snake tail sweeping across like a black mountain, and she felt suffocated as well as horrified.
That force was terrific, destroying everything in front of it.
“It’s a saint king from the Luosha race, and not just any saint king…”
Granny Baisu, who was an absolute saint, was so scared that her face paled. She bit her lips tightly, waiting for doom.
Howl!
Elephant-swallowing Rabbit roared, and it turned into a Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon that was thousands of feet long, waving its dragon tail.
Bang!
The tails of the python and the dragon clashed with each other.
Elephant-swallowing Rabbit failed to ward it off. It bounced away with its scales peeling, and its blood gushed out like a spring while it made a blood-curdling scream.
The gap between their power was far too large.
“You’re nothing but a monster who’s practiced ‘Sky-swallowing Skill.’ Do you really think you can fight me?” The python shadow surged from the evil cloud again.
The demonic dragon kept shrinking and turned back to a rabbit with a big mouth, and its butt and tail were both bleeding like hell. It lay on the ground and yelled, “You’re the monster.”
“What did you just say? I’m Blood Pluto Python with pure blood!”
The phantom of that giant python was furious. It dived, showing its fangs and trying to tear Elephant-swallowing Rabbit apart.
“Don’t you dare kill my brother.”
The monster ape yelled, clenched its fist, and released a great amount of devil Qi. Suddenly, its body bulged, and it rushed out like an unstoppable evil ape.
“Die!” A giant handprint slapped the monster ape and knocked it to the ground. The monster ape was already injured, and after being hit by that handprint, it lay on the ground and couldn’t manage to stand up anymore.
Several human saints also rushed out, trying to save Elephant-swallowing Rabbit and the monster ape, and they were all knocked away by the saint spell. One of them was blown up.
Obviously, there were more great beings from the Luosha race who were standing in the evil cloud.
There were way too many enemies, and everyone felt hopeless.
Perhaps they could never make it back to Kunlun’s Field…
Elephant-swallowing Rabbit looked at the head of that giant python diving at it, terrified, but suddenly, its eyes gleamed, and it screamed, “Lord Chen!”
A human being glowing in red rushed out from behind the phantom of the giant python, and the sword he was carrying broke the evil cloud. He wielded it against the python phantom, trailing a trace of sword light that was a thousand feet long.
Boom!
The phantom of the giant python was cut into halves, and it withered away like mist.
Zhang Ruochen landed on the ground wearing Hundred Saints Blood Armor. He stood in front of Elephant-swallowing Rabbit, overlooking the tumbling evil cloud in front of him.
Elephant-swallowing Rabbit was so excited that it was about to cry. It grabbed Zhang Ruochen’s legs with its claws and said, “Lord Chen, I definitely would’ve died if you hadn’t shown up.”
“It’s the crown prince. His Highness…”
Qin Yutong, Granny Baisu, and the others finally had hope again, because to them, Zhang Ruochen was the central pillar of the entire empire. He stood for hope and invincibility.
Other than Empress Chi Yao, nobody in the world could make him fall.
Other previous officials from the Sacred Central Empire also shouted in exhilaration.
Their crown prince had come here, and he had come here for them. They wouldn’t even care about dying side by side with their leader.
Zhang Ruochen looked back at everyone who was either excited or tearing up due to exhilaration, and he was certain that he’d made the right choice.
His original plan was to use the power of the twelve Buddhist beams to cover his force and to hide underground with the Merits Record Wall until midnight tonight.
Although there was still a chance that he would be discovered by the Luosha armies, it was definitely the least risky and safest way for him.
But he couldn’t just stand aside while the previous officials from Sacred Central Empire were being encircled and slaughtered by the Luosha armies.
Those saints had gone to Peakless Mountain with him even though they might have been retaliated against by the imperial government, and now, Zhang Ruochen was willing to risk his life to protect them.
“Take the saint pills, and you guys will recover in an hour.”
Zhang Ruochen waved his sleeves, and healing saint pills flew out, landing in their hands.
Kunlun’s Field had very limited resources, so the saints only carried low-tier healing pills when they entered Zuling Field. It would be fantastic if they could get one healing saint pill, and after three months, they’d run out of the low-tier healing pills already.
Zhang Ruochen was such a timely help.
Howl!
A shout came out of the evil cloud, shaking the ground.
The real body of Blood Pluto Python rushed out of the evil cloud. It was more than five thousand feet long, and each of its scales was as large as a cattail leaf fan. Its head looked slightly bizarre, as it had thorns all over, making it look incredibly savage.
Seven first marquises walked out of the evil cloud. Some of them were exquisite-looking Luosha females while some were hideous Luosha males.
Those seven first marquises seemed to answer to Blood Pluto Python.
Blood Pluto Python opened its mouth. “Human, impressive that you managed to break a trace of my soul shadow, but you shouldn’t have stood against me.”
Zhang Ruochen stood in front of Blood Pluto Python and said apathetically, “So what?”
“You’ll die.”
“Not necessarily.”
Zhang Ruochen didn’t want to waste time talking to it, instead, he rushed forward carrying his Abyss Ancient Sword.
“Be careful, my lord. That Blood Pluto Python is already a saint king, and it has tremendous strength, making it far more powerful than ordinary first-step saint kings. Also, its evil Qi will stick to your body once it gets inside,” Princess White Li said.
“What an idiot. You actually dared try to charge us.”
Both the Luosha first marquises flew up, flapping their wings and carrying their saint weapons. They mobilized their evil sha Qi, trying to stop Zhang Ruochen.
Suddenly, Zhang Ruochen performed spatial move and vanished from the ground.
Both the first marquises were a bit dazed, and before they knew how to react, Zhang Ruochen had slain one of them with the sword in his hand.
All the protection runes on one of the first marquis exploded, yet they still failed to ward off the Abyss Ancient Sword. He fell onto the ground after his body being cut in half by Zhang Ruochen.
Boom!
Zhang Ruochen trampled the broken corpse, turning it into a cluster of flesh.
All the Luosha marquises were shocked seeing a first marquis killed that easily, and this was the first time they felt scared.
The other first marquis who originally went to stop Zhang Ruochen was horrified. He immediately tried to fly back while sweating all over his body.
“Where’re you going?”
Dragon scales emerged on Zhang Ruochen’s arm, making a deafening dragon sound. And then, he formed a handprint, slapping that first marquis like it was a mosquito.
Sizzle!
The Abyss Ancient Sword pierced through that first marquis’s body, nailing it to the ground.
Zhang Ruochen walked forward, forcing the evil cloud to retreat.
He didn’t stop walking until he strolled right beside his Abyss Ancient Sword. He reached out his hand and grabbed the handle.
Divine Fire Jingmie gushed out of Zhang Ruochen’s palm, and it traveled along the Abyss Ancient Sword, burning the body of that first marquis into ashes.
All the Luosha marquises were horrified, and even Blood Pluto Python became solemn as it couldn’t underestimate the man in front of it anymore. It said, “Space power… You’re the priest from Guanghan Field, Zhang Ruochen. Why were you trying to stop me from killing those saints from Kunlun’s Field?”
Zhang Ruochen picked up the Abyss Ancient Sword and said, “Don’t you know that they’re mine?”
