God Emperor - Chapter 664

Chapter 664


Having heard Xu Changsheng's words, the eyes of all the Saint's disciples, including Can Dong, fell on Zhang Ruochen .

The crowd had long heard that during the coronation ceremony, someone had drawn out the vision of "800-Mile Purple Qi" and combined the three sects of patriarchal Sword Comprehension .

This man was definitely not a commoner . He had to be someone with exceptional talent in the Tao of the sword .

However, Xu Changsheng's words obviously sounded hostile .

No matter how naturally talented Lin Yue was in the Tao of sword, he was just a novice Saint's disciple . He would be considered outstanding if he could pass the first stage on Second Level Mountain .

However, how could Xu Changsheng directly ask him how many characters he intended to challenge today?

Lin Yue was in an unfavorable position regardless of how he answered this question .

He did it to flatter Zhang Ruochen to cause him to stumble .

The higher he lifted Zhang Ruochen, the harder he would fall .

Xu Changsheng, still smiling kindly, said, "Since junior fellow apprentice Lin Yue has combined three Patriarchal Sword Comprehensions, open our eyes by challenging three characters . "

Laughter began to reverberate through the crowd of Saint's disciples .

"Even Xu Changsheng barely succeeded in challenging two characters, and he's forcing Lin Yue to challenge three characters . Isn't it clear that he's trying to embarrass Lin Yue?"

"If Lin Yue agrees to this, he will surely be defeated by the three gatekeepers . Everyone in Yin and Yang Sect will mock him for being overconfident . On the other hand, if he doesn't take up the challenge, he will earn the name of a coward . "

"What is the problem between Xu Changsheng and Lin Yue? Why is Xu Changsheng making things so difficult for Lin Yue?"

"Can't you see it's because he's jealous? I would never have expected Xu Changsheng, with his status, to fight a novice Saint's disciple over a woman . "

"That depends on who they are fighting over . It would be worth it if they were fighting over Darkness Body . If Xu Changsheng managed to marry Darkness Body, he would surely become the heir of the powerful Xu family . "

The crowd sighed and shook their heads, believing that Lin Yue was going to become Xu Changsheng's stepping stone .

What use was it to be highly talented in the Tao of the sword if the skills were not fully developed?

However, the most calm-looking person was Zhang Ruochen . He smiled and said, "There's not much difference between challenging one character or three . Why should I do something to disadvantage myself?"

Xu Changsheng thought that this was because Zhang Ruochen was afraid .

He laughed and said, "You may not be aware, junior fellow apprentice Lin Yue, but there is a huge difference between challenging three characters and challenging one .

"He who ascends to the summit of Second Level Mountain, after successfully challenging one character, can only collect a container of Holy Water from the second Holy Spring .


"Another who ascends the summit of Second Level Mountain, after successfully challenging two characters, can collect a hundred containers of Holy Water from the second Holy Spring .

"Yet another who ascends to the summit of Second Level Mountain, after successfully challenging three characters, can collect a thousand containers of Holy Water from the second Holy Spring .

"With every additional character conquered, the reward increases ten times . "

Zhang Ruochen's sudden realization was written all over his face . He nodded and said, "If I challenged ten characters, would there be enough Holy Water on the mountain top for me fill my containers?"

All the surrounding Saint's disciples exploded with laughter .

Can Dong had long been aware of Zhang Ruochen's arrogance, but the words he had just spoken made him jerk his head back and snort .

Xu Changsheng looked mockingly at Zhang Ruochen and said, "No one in the entire history of Yin and Yang Sect has conquered ten characters at one go . If junior fellow apprentice Lin were to succeed in doing so, such a victory would definitely be recorded in the Yin and Yang Sect's history . "

Zhang Ruochen pondered for a moment before he shook his head and said, "My cultivation in the Tao of sword is not yet powerful enough for me to challenge ten characters . "

"That's more like it . At least you know your abilities . "

As Xu Changsheng was about to express this thought, he was cut off by Zhang Ruochen, who continued to speak . Xu Changsheng could only hold his thoughts back .

Zhang Ruochen said, "I will just challenge three characters this time . After all, I have to save some of my strength for later . "

Was he crazy?



Challenging three characters?

Everyone in the crowd thought Lin Yue was speaking out of rage . How would he, being a novice Saint's disciple, be able to challenge three characters at once?

Xu Changsheng's lips curled up slightly in delight . Worried that Lin Yue may go back on his word, he quickly said, "You have proven yourself to be a promising young man of Yin and Yang Sect, worthy of my admiration . However, challenging three characters is definitely difficult . You may not be able to succeed using your sword, which is a tenth level Genuine Martial Arm . Why don't I, as an elder brother, lend you my Valley-Water Sword . You can keep it if you succeed in the challenge . "

As he was still speaking, Xu Changsheng undid the white sword tied to his back and tossed it to Zhang Ruochen .

Xu Changsheng looked intently at Lin Yue . There was no going back once he accepted the sword .

Zhang Ruochen reached out with one hand and caught the white sword . Upon contact, Zhang Ruochen felt a chilling power . It made his hand numb .

Xu Changsheng let out a sigh of relief when Zhang Ruochen caught the sword . A smile broke out on his face, and his mood lifted .

All the surrounding Saint's disciples looked at each other and shook their heads in amusement .

While Xu Changsheng was complimenting Lin Yue excessively, they realized he would not give Lin Yue any chance to turn over if he failed his attempt in the challenge later .

Moreover, it was perilous even to enter Ancient Gods Mountain . The gatekeepers' swords would vanquish any warrior who was unaware of the risks, before he could even surrender .

Everyone thought that Xu Changsheng was sinister and malicious indeed .

Lin Yue was silly to agree to challenge three characters at once . He had fallen into Xu Changsheng's snare without a clue .

However, similar scenarios had happened so many times in history that the elder Saint's disciples did not think much of it .

"This sword is a twelfth level Genuine Martial Arm, refined using 'Sacred Valley-Water Jade' . It can mature into a Holy Sword if it produces sword spirit from within . This is indeed an exceptional sword . "

Zhang Ruochen muttered praise after praise as he stroked the Valley-Water Sword .

All present thought that his excitement upon seeing the Valley-Water Sword was because he had never seen great things .

In actuality, Zhang Ruochen was stroking the Valley-Water Sword to use Genuine Qi to refine the remnants of Xu Changsheng's Sword Comprehension .

Once he had completely refined the Sword Comprehension in it, he walked towards the stone wall and stood about 30 meters away .



The inscriptions on the stone wall were indecipherable .

As he had never come across many of the characters, he could only make out their meanings through his strength in Sword Comprehension .

"Swoosh!"

In that instant, three characters came off the stone wall and transformed into three translucent gatekeepers . They descended from the air and charged towards Zhang Ruochen with their swords .

All the Saint's disciples had thought it would take a long time for Lin Yue to recognize and pick out three characters . However, to their surprise, Lin Yue recognized three characters almost instantly, and he began the challenge immediately .

It was commendable that Lin Yue, a mere novice Saint's disciple, could do this .

Despite this, the crowd still did not believe that Lin Yue would succeed . After all, the challenge posed by three characters was far more difficult than two characters .

The three gatekeepers attacked Zhang Ruochen from three different directions in a combined attack .

Two of the gatekeepers dashed on the ground towards Zhang Ruochen from the left and right . They made continuous sword movements . Their aggressive sword Qi turned into two ten-meter long whooshing dragon shadows .

The third gatekeeper, flying overhead, held a sword in each of his hands . His sword wove a Taiji sign, which formed a ball of sword Qi ten meters in diameter .

"Twin Dragons Playing with a Pearl . "

All the Saint's disciples retreated as they saw the surge of violent and aggresive sword Qi .

Even Xu Changsheng and Can Dong, who were very accomplished in their cultivation, were taken aback . This was, after all, the first time they had witnessed the power manifested by three characters combined .

Could a monk of only the Fish-Dragon Realm really overcome such terrifying power?

When Xu Changsheng challenged two characters, both gatekeepers had been at the third realm of Sword One .

Presently, Zhang Ruochen was attempting to challenge three characters . This implied that each of the three gatekeepers was at the fifth realm of Sword One . Although there was only one more character, the level of difficulty had increased exponentially . The two challenges were vastly different .

"I see that the more characters challenged, the higher the ability of the gatekeepers . It's no wonder that Xu Changsheng is fully convinced that I am unable to break through . It will not be easy to defeat the three gatekeepers . "



Zhang Ruochen was the only one at the scene who appeared calm . He remained standing at the same spot, and he did not reveal any sign of panic .

In a split second, the two gatekeepers on the ground aimed their swords at Zhang Ruochen . It looked like the sword Qi would cut him to pieces .

Then, something happened that stunned the Saint's disciple .

"Whizz!"

"Whizz!"

The Blue Crystal Sword and the Valley-Water Sword left their sheaths simultaneously, and Zhang Ruochen hit the hilts successively with his palms . The two swords transformed into blue and white light shuttles that travelled forward and divided into 360 streams of sword Qi . They attacked the gatekeepers on the ground forcefully enough to cause a retreat .

In response, the two gatekeepers struck back with their swords at lightning speed .

However, the blue and the white swords were moving even faster, overwhelming the two gatekeepers . All they could do was retreat .

Staight ahead, the third gatekeeper rotated his arm at an alarming speed, forming a sword Qi vortex .

A seven-meter long sword emerged from the vortex and transformed into a brilliant light column . It shot out and struck Zhang Ruochen between the eyes .

"Break!"

Zhang Ruochen pinched his fingers and formed a sword . He struck back .

The tip of his fingers came into contact with the sword tip with a loud noise . The seven-meter sword instantly broke into pieces and became a ball of chaotic sword Qi . It surged backwards onto the third gatekeeper, forcing him to retreat more than 30 meters .

"How is that possible?"

Xu Changsheng's eyes widened in disbelief and blue veins began bulging out of his entire face .

The other Saint's disciples were struck dumb . Their minds went blank, and they were so shocked that they almost forgot to breathe .

Both Can Dong and Qin Yufan took in a deep breath and blurted out simultaneously, "The seventh realm of Sword One . "

Qi Feiyu, who was standing at the edge of the cliff, emerged from the white fog, revealing her other-worldly beauty . Her beautiful eyes were fixed on Zhang Ruochen . Obviously, she was incredulous, too .Please download our sponsor's game to support us!
