God Emperor - Chapter 1084

Chapter 1084: 1084

After that previous fight, Princess White Li had an idea about the human male’s true abilities . He was indeed strong, but she could still counter him .

He might have some hidden tricks he hadn’t used, but so did Princess White Li . If they truly started fighting, they might not be able to produce a victor even after three days and nights .

It was a fantasy to want to defeat her in 17 strikes .

“You’re too conceited!” Princess White Li said .

Zhang Ruochen didn’t say anything more . He poured Holy Qi into the Abyss Ancient Sword . All the strength runes on it were activated, making the sword extremely heavy .

“First strike, thunder and fire burning the plain . ”

The ancient black sword stabbed into the ground . Lightning covered the sky and shot toward Princess White Li . The purple bolt of lightning was very thick . It melted more than 100 feet of the ground as soon as it landed, forming a small pool of lava .

Boom, boom .

Dozens of lightning bolts fell one after another . It felt like the world was ending soon . The green land was instantly turned into scorched earth—completely destroyed .

This move was from the True-Thunder Fire Sword Technique . Zhang Ruochen had completed the entire set long ago and could unleash saintly might .

Princess White Li was still composed . Walking with light steps, she kept dodging the plummeting bolts of lightning, leaving behind dozens of beautiful afterimages .

“Is that all you can do?” She pointed with a slender finger, sending a finger sword to Zhang Ruochen’s chest .

“Gold Morning Sun . ”

Zhang Ruochen stabbed forward again . His sword flew out like a shooting star, crashing against the other’s finger sword . It was another saint technique .

This one was from the Nine-Life Sword Technique .

Princess White Li retreated again, shocked inwardly . This human was so young, but he was already an expert in two saint sword techniques . He’d also completed Sword Five of the Wordless Sword Manual .

Where did he get the time?

Many strong cultivators on the Half-Saint Rank and Outer Rank were only experts in one saint spell and could already fight the heroes of the world .

She naturally didn’t know that Zhang Ruochen had spent a lot of effort on cultivating sword techniques in the Seven Lives and Seven Deaths Map . He’d only combined his knowledge of the Saintly Way from two worlds, but it was already extraordinary .

Whoosh .

Princess White Li and Zhang Ruochen’s battle grew more and more intense . Their speed picked up more and more too . In the end, all one could see were blurs .

After ten strikes, Princess White Li had seen through Zhang Ruochen’s tactics and became more relaxed .

“You indeed have high attainments in the Sword Way, but you lack variety,” Princess White Li said . “You’re unable to surpass Xue Wuye . You’ll be unable to defeat me in 1,700 strikes too, let alone 17 strikes . ”

“Really?”

A strange smile flashed past Zhang Ruochen’s eyes . He grasped the Abyss Ancient Sword and used Sword Five again .

Whooshes sounded around the blade . Dense shadows appeared, forming a sword river that struck toward Princess White Li .

She shook her head softly . Standing her ground, she formed a sword print with her fingers . Just then, she felt sharply an unfamiliar energy wave within the sword river .

“It’s…time…”

By the time Princess White Li grew cautious, the time around her had already paused . The next moment, Zhang Ruochen’s sword was already between her brows . The cold sword glinted . If it went in a bit more, it could pierce Princess White Li’s skull .

“Fifteen strikes,” Zhang Ruochen said .

Princess White Li was dazed . She dissipated the sword print she’d formed without losing her composure . Biting her lip with her white teeth, she said, “Time and Space Descendant, Zhang Ruochen . Am I right?”

“Indeed . ”

“You are so calculative,” Princess White Li said .

“In my opinion, it’s strategy . ”

Actually, Zhang Ruochen and Princess White Li were at the same level . It wasn’t easy for Zhang Ruochen to win . It was even more impossible for him to win within 17 strikes .

This was why he had to be smart . He’d used the True-Thunder Fire Sword Technique and Nine-Life Sword Technique in the beginning to numb Princess White Li . It led up to using the time sword technique of Life and Death of Scale Eight in the end .

If Zhang Ruochen had used the time sword technique in the beginning, it would be when Princess White Li was the most alert . It would be impossible to defeat her, even if Zhang Ruochen could hurt her .

Once Princess White Li grew cautious, it would be impossible for Zhang Ruochen to trick her again .

Princess White Li stood up straight, not admitting defeat . “Let us fight again . If you can defeat me, I will help you save the humans from the Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon with all my might . ”

Even if the opponent was the Time and Space Descendant, Princess White Li was still confident in countering him . She’d only lost in the previous round because she hadn’t been careful enough .

“Are you still qualified to negotiate?” Zhang Ruochen asked .

Princess White Li huffed coldly . She looked at the Carnivorous Holy Flower from the corner of her vision . She discovered that the fat cat had somehow sealed it within a formation .

No, it seems like I’ve underestimated that fat cat .

Princess White Li knew that her advantage was over, and was ready to retreat . She moved back and used the Close Heavenly Pace . The vast land behind her was shrinking quickly . One hundred miles became only a few feet .

Zhang Ruochen knew that the White Li Cat Clan had this natural saint spell, so he didn’t let down his guard . As soon as Princess White Li started moving, Zhang Ruochen immediately used the Great Spatial Move and caught up . He pointed, hitting the Tianxin Aperture in her back .

Whoosh—

Rings of white flooded out of her back, sealing 90% of the Holy Qi within her . She fell down involuntarily .

Zhang Ruochen reached out . He held onto her thin waist and picked her up . Princess White Li’s waist was very thin and flexible . She immediately flipped up and jabbed Zhang Ruochen with a sharp finger .

“If you don’t want to die, you better be more obedient . ” Zhang Ruochen was flying in the air with a cold expression . He held her waist with one hand, pointing the Abyss Ancient Sword at her neck with the other .

The sharp blade already left a trail of blood down her pale neck .

Princess White Li glared at him angrily . She retracted her finger and then turned her delicate face to the side . “You make me hate humans even more than Xue Wuye . ”

“Really?” Zhang Ruochen asked .

“At least Xue Wuye won’t hurt a girl with his sword . ”

“That’s why he’s Xue Wuye and I’m Zhang Ruochen . ”

The oasis was destroyed and broken . Other than the Carnivorous Holy Flower, there was no other living plant . The holy tree had withered too, all the leaves having fallen off . It added a bit of misery to the land .

Whoosh!

Zhang Ruochen flew down and placed Princess White Li on the ground . He immediately hit 18 spots on Princess White Li’s body to seal all her Holy Qi .

Blackie stood under the withered holy tree . It was maintaining the formation to seal the Carnivorous Holy Flower .

The flower had already grown into a towering vine . The root was as thick as a bowl . It had grown scales too . They shone metallically like dragon scales . The flower at the top of the plant was the size of a basin, but it hadn’t bloomed yet . It shone brilliantly with ripples of saintly light .

The spirit and wisdom had already been born . Knowing that Princess White Li was captured, it started attacking Blackie’s formation .

Kaboom .

Even though it hadn’t bloomed yet, the flower’s strength was still considerable . It even broke some of the formation runes . It wouldn’t be long before it destroyed the formation .

Zhang Ruochen took out the Life and Death Mirror . He was ready to destroy the flower with the Destruction of the Thousand Patterns before it could break through the formation .

While controlling the formation, Blackie said, “The Carnivorous Holy Flower is a powerful battle plant, rarely seen throughout history . I think you should try to tame it and plant it in your Sea of Qi . That way, your combat ability will improve greatly . ”

“Are you tricking me?” Zhang Ruochen frowned .

The Carnivorous Holy Flower could suck a Saint’s Holy Qi entirely, but Blackie wanted him to plant it in his Sea of Qi? Wasn’t this suicide?

Princess White Li stood on the side with a strange smile . She felt like Blackie was tricking Zhang Ruochen too .

She was more familiar with the Carnivorous Holy Flower than anyone else . If Zhang Ruochen really planted the flower in his Sea of Qi, he would definitely become its nutrient . He would quickly be sucked dry .

Blackie shook its head quickly . “As long as you can tame and feed it, it won’t suck your Holy Qi . Instead, it’ll become an attack you can use . Even the Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon will fear it when it blooms . Aren’t you tempted?”

Princess White Li chuckled . “You think you can tame the Carnivorous Holy Flower?”

She and the flower were working together . It wasn’t a master-servant relationship .

Blackie stared at her . “Others might not be able to, but the Divine Sky-Connecting Tree can . ”

The Divine Sky-Connecting Tree was the master of all plants . Any plant would feel respect for it . The Carnivorous Holy Flower was only a sapling now . The Divine Sky-Connecting Tree could tame it .

Zhang Ruochen thought carefully, weighing the pros and cons . In the end, he took out the Universe Spiritual Map . He wanted to communicate with the Divine Sky-Connecting Tree first and then make a decision .

The Divine Sky-Connecting Tree had a weak spirit now . Only Zhang Ruochen could communicate with it for a short period .

“The Divine Sky-Connecting Tree?”

Princess White Li’s pretty eyes filled with shock . She stared at Zhang Ruochen’s Universe Spiritual Map . Could it be…
