God Emperor - Chapter 1511

Chapter 1511: Chapter 1511 - Victory And Defeat In An Instant

Chu Siyuan and the eight Heavenly Maidens retreated into the distance and stared at the two on the Merits Record Wall .

“Is Zhang Ruochen really able to counter Sword Saint Jiuyou?” One of the maidens was doubtful .

“Zhang Ruochen’s cultivation hasn’t reached the Saint King Realm,” Goddess Siming said . “But his combat abilities aren’t any weaker than a Saint King . However, Sword Saint Jiuyou has cultivated in the Sword Way for more than 500 years . His knowledge is very deep . Zhang Ruochen hasn’t cultivated for a long time and he lacks accumulation . ”

No matter how talented a swordsman was, they still needed to spend a great amount of time cultivating to get a result . It was impossible to become a strong swordsman in a day .

“Sword Way Xuangang is undefeatable . With just this one move, Sword Saint Jiuyou can look down one a first step Saint King . How can Zhang Ruochen be a match for him?”

Zhang Ruochen was strong, but no one believed that he could defeat Sword Saint Jiuyou .

…

Zhang Ruochen clearly knew how strong Sword Way Xuangang was too, so when their auras reached the peak, he moved sooner and attacked .

Whoosh!

The sword was like a ray of light .

All the Sword Qi in the sky converged to a point, becoming one with the tip of the Abyss Ancient Sword, shining with brilliant light .

“In my eyes, your sword technique is filled with flaws . It’s no different than a kid playing with a sword . If you want to fix Xuanji’s reputation with your abilities, you’re still far from it . ”

Sword Saint Jiuyou didn’t use the nine swords in his Sea of Qi . Instead, he released the sword intent inside of him . The strong intent formed a white saint sword and cut down at the Abyss Ancient Sword like a white beam .

Any Sword Saint could release a sword of intent .

Other Sword Saints could only form a projection of the sword, like a beam of Sword Qi . However, Sword Saint Jiuyou’s sword of intent was no different from a true sword . It could be tangible and intangible .

Boom .

Before the Abyss Ancient Sword could reach within three feet of Sword Saint Jiuyou, the power that burst from the intent sword sent it flying . The intent sword didn’t dissipate . Instead, it shone with even more dazzling light and flew toward Zhang Ruochen like a streak of light .

Zhang Ruochen naturally knew how terrifying the intent sword was . He quickly put out the Monument Shield .

Whoosh!

The intent sword didn’t clash with the Monument Shield . Instead, it passed through directly .

At Sword Saint Jiuyou’s level, the sword intent could be a sword but was also a beam of intent . No physical objects could stop it .

The intent sword was about to penetrate Zhang Ruochen’s body . Suddenly, he dragged his finger and a spatial crack appeared .

Clashing with the spatial crack, the intent sword’s power suddenly vanished .

Sword Saint Jiuyou’s eyes hardened . He suddenly realized that Zhang Ruochen wasn’t only a swordsman . He’d also cultivated the way of time and space, two of the nine Ancient Ways .

This thought flashed past and he sensed spatial waves around him . The ripples grew stronger and stronger as if the sky was about to fall down .

“Oh, no . ”

Sword Saint Jiuyou’s body turned into a streak of sword light and rushed into the air .

The space where he’d been standing suddenly had densely-packed cracks and collapsed into a black hole . The void appeared and had strong devouring power .

Even with Sword Saint Jiuyou’s strong cultivation, he still couldn’t counter spatial power . He had to keep throwing back defensive runes . As the runes exploded and blocked the devouring force of the broken space, Sword Saint Jiuyou finally escaped .

“I was too careless!”

He was covered in sweat . If he’d reacted half a beat slower, he probably would’ve died in that broken space .

Zhang Ruochen must have purposely seemed weaker to make him lower his guard and then unleash this fatal strike .

Seeing Sword Saint Jiuyou escape, Zhang Ruochen naturally felt disappointed, but he couldn’t help it . The Supreme Saint power left in the Phoenix Nest placed heavy restrictions on cultivators . Even a Saint King couldn’t unleash horribly destructive power .

Plus, the space in the Phoenix Nest was extremely sturdy . It was already a feat to make space collapse like this .

If they were fighting outside of the Phoenix Nest, his advantage would be even greater .

When his attack failed, Zhang Ruochen unleashed a dozen more spatial cracks, battering Sword Saint Jiuyou so he had no chance to fight back .

The spatial cracks wove into a web, forcing Sword Saint Jiuyou to keep dodging .

“Sword Saint Jiuyou is in the Saint King Realm . How can he be at a disadvantage?” The Holy Maidens felt speechless . This was completely different from what they’d expected .

“Zhang Ruochen is getting craftier,” Chu Siyuan said . “He purposely used the Sword Way to attack Sword Saint Jiuyou in the beginning to make him lower his guard . Then he used the spatial power without warning and immediately got the upper hand . After that, he wouldn’t let Sword Saint Jiuyou have another chance to attack . ”

“Is Sword Saint Jiuyou going to lose?” Goddess Siming asked .

Chu Siyuan shook his head . “Sword Saint Jiuyou has gone through so many battles . He’ll definitely snatch the chance to fight back . Once that happens, Zhang Ruochen will most likely lose . ”

The Saint Lady hid her hands in her sleeves . She clenched her fists, feeling very nervous .

The intensity of Zhang Ruochen and Sword Saint Jiuyou’s fight was comparable to that final battle between Sword Saint Xuanji and Jiyou . In this kind of battle, both sides would fight with all their might . It would be hard to pull back at the critical moment .

If defeated, they would most likely die .

Zhang Ruochen unleashed more than 200 spatial cracks in a row . Even with Sword Saint Jiuyou’s rich combat experience, he still had three bloody wounds .

“Boy, you actually hurt me . Not bad, huh . ”

Fire burned in Sword Saint Jiuyou’s eyes . A bright light appeared on his forehead and nine saint swords rushed out, flying toward the spatial cracks .

“Nine Swords Devour the God . ”

Sword Saint Jiuyou extended a hand over his head, controlling the nine swords remotely . Then he pressed down .

The nine swords emitted extreme power and the projection of nine flaming birds burst from his body . They produced deafening caws .

Then the nine birds pressed down at the same time .

Zhang Ruochen didn’t panic . He poured Holy Qi into the Hundred Saint Blood Armor and it started glowing .

One hundred mid-level Saints rushed out of the armor .

The saintly projections became one with Zhang Ruochen, transforming into the power of 100 Saints . Then Zhang Ruochen stepped on the ground and formed a palm print with both hands, hitting the air .

Roar!

Argh!

A dragon and elephant’s roar sounded .

The projection of a blue dragon and elephant appeared, combined with Zhang Ruochen’s palm prints . They sent the flaming birds flying out and turning back into nine swords . After this collision, the ground under Zhang Ruochen’s feet caved in .

The nine swords whooshed and flew back into the sky, melting into the center of a sun .

“That is…”

Zhang Ruochen looked up into the sky .

However, the rays of the sun were like blades, blinding him and forcing his eyes closed . At the same time, he felt a great burst of danger . It was like the sunlight could pierce his scalp .

“Sword Saint Jiuyou’s trademark Consummate Technique!” Chu Siyuan exclaimed . “Red Sun Sword Technique . ”

The Sword Way ripples from the sun grew stronger and stronger . The heat it emitted seemed able to melt the entire Phoenix Nest .

Zhang Ruochen reached out and pushed up a spatial domain . At the same time, he activated the strongest spatial power and formed more than 100 spatial cracks with the domain as the center .

Whoosh!

Red Sword Qi rained down from the sun above, continuously attacking Zhang Ruochen .

In the distance, Chu Siyuan and the eight Heavenly Maidens sensed danger, so they retreated again .

Most of the Sword Qi was swallowed by the spatial cracks, but some also landed inside the spatial domain . This created quite a bit of trouble for Zhang Ruochen .

The sword rain from the red sun lasted for nine breaths . Suffering under the Sword Qi, the ground melted . The land around Zhang Ruochen completely turned into a sea of fire .

After the spatial cracks disappeared, the nine swords became one in Sword Saint Jiuyou’s hands . He charged out of the blazing sun and became one with the Sword Qi in the air . He stabbed at Zhang Ruochen’s head .

This attack already contained Sword Way Xuangang .

“Sword Eight . ”

Sword Saint Jiuyou and the nine swords flew out of the sky like a meteorite about to destroy the world .

Zhang Ruochen bore great pressure . Clenching his jaw, he hit out the Buddha’s sarira, activating its origin power . He pushed back with all his might .

This moment, the people standing in the distance were all extremely nervous . They sensed that this strike might determine victory and defeat, life and death .

Boom!

The nine swords hit the sarira, forming a shockwave instantly that shot in all directions .

Unfortunately, the sarira couldn’t block Sword Saint Jiuyou . The sharp sword light continued to stab down .

“Spatial Twist . ”

Zhang Ruochen pushed up with both hands . His meridians bulged on his face and body . He was fiercely manipulating the spatial rules and saintly power, using all his might to twist the space above him .

Finally, the nine swords were swayed and stabbed down on the side of Zhang Ruochen’s cheek .

The instant it stabbed down, even with the Hundred Saint Blood Armor’s protection, a long gash still opened up on Zhang Ruochen’s cheek . The gash went from his temple to his lower jaw . Red blood dripped down his chin .

One could imagine that Zhang Ruochen would probably be penetrated completely if the Spatial Twist was slightly weaker .

Boom!

Sword Saint Jiuyou’s sword hit the ground beside Zhang Ruochen and sent him flying from the reverberations . Thousands of beams of Sword Qi hit the Hundred Saint Blood Armor on his back, producing a string of explosions .

Seeing that this strike didn’t kill Zhang Ruochen, shock flashed past Sword Saint Jiuyou’s eyes . He lifted the sword and cut down on Zhang Ruochen again .

Zhang Ruochen was tossed into the air . He spun quickly and formed a sword print with his fingers . The moment that Sword Saint Jiuyou thought he’d won, he pointed .

“Chen Sword . ”

At that moment, time stopped .

Sword Qi and Divine Fire Jingmie became one on his fingertip . He seized this extremely short moment and pointed at Sword Saint Jiuyou’s forehead .

Zhang Ruochen had already been sent flying by Sword Eight and the Xuangang and was undoubtedly going to be defeated . How could Sword Saint Jiuyou have expected that Zhang Ruochen could still fight back from his disadvantaged state?

Zhang Ruochen’s finger didn’t stab down . The fire at his fingertip was only one inch away from Sword Saint Jiuyou’s forehead .

Sword Saint Jiuyou stopped and didn’t attack anymore . He stabbed his nine swords into the ground . His expression was dazed and he felt great emotions . A moment later, he finally said with difficulty, “Is that the time sword technique?”

“Indeed,” Zhang Ruochen said .

“Why didn’t you use that at the beginning?”

“The time sword technique is my biggest trump card,” Zhang Ruochen said . “I can’t use it so casually . If I do, I must be sure that I can defeat my enemy, killing him . ”

“But then, why did you hold back and not kill me?”

“Someone like you shouldn’t die in your own people’s hands . Even if you die, you should die when fighting with the Luosha Race . ”

Sword Saint Jiuyou laughed out loud . A moment later, his smile turned wry . “I lost!”

Zhang Ruochen pulled back the finger pointing at his forehead . Then he formed a palm print and quickly slapped Sword Saint Jiuyou’s chest .

Thud .

Sword Saint Jiuyou spat out blood and flew backward . He half-knelt on the ground, face paling greatly .

“Back then, you stabbed my teacher,” Zhang Ruochen said . “Today, I hit you . Now, we don’t owe each other anymore . ”

With this hit, Sword Saint Jiuyou wouldn’t be able to fight with anyone for two hours .

Losing his strength, Chu Siyuan and the nine Heavenly Maidens wouldn’t be able to steal the Merits Record Wall from Zhang Ruochen’s hands .
