God Emperor - Chapter 718

Chapter 718


Huang Yanchen threaded her way through the crowd and stopped at a mansion in the center of Shentai City . She walked to the front gate .

The mansion was rather imposing .

Its front gate was flanked by savage beasts . They were heavily built up Thunderbolt Lions with glaringly bright golden fur .

The two Thunderbolt Lions were accompanied by six armored guards who stood in a line to keep watch . Judging from their overwhelming aura, they were top masters .

"Greetings, Lord Yanchen . "

The guards obviously knew who she was as they all bowed to her in deference .

Two of them went to open the gate for her .

"Anyone who can live in the center of Shentai City must be a super big shot . "

Zhang Ruochen carefully observed the six guards from a far distance, only to find that their armors were all tenth level Genuine Martial Arms that belonged to the Law Enforcement Hall of the Martial Market School .

Moreover, they were all Monks in the Fish-Dragon Realm, top masters cherry-picked from the Law Enforcement Hall .

"With Monks in the Fish-Dragon Realm as his guards, the one living in the mansion has to be a Half-Saint or even a Saint . "

Zhang Ruochen's mouth twitched a bit as he considered who might live in the mansion .

He came out from his concealment and walked to the front gate .

"ROAR!"

The Thunderbolt Lions opened their eyes and glared at Zhang Ruochen in open hostility .

Golden Qi seethed from their bodies in waves .

The six guards also saw Zhang Ruochen walking toward them . They recognized that he was a Saint's disciple from the Yin and Yang Sect based on his robes and quickly shouted at the Thunderbolt Lions to calm them down .

After all, they were in the Yin and Yang Sect's sphere of influence and should be polite to their Saint's disciples .

Of the six guards, the strongest Monk looked to be around 40 years old; his ears were as big as a leaf fan . With a long spear in hand, he took two steps forward and cupped his hands . "May I know who you are?"

Zhang Ruochen smiled faintly and showed them the Suzerain token to tell them who he was . "I'm Lin Yue, from the Yin and Yang Sect . I have come here to visit Predecessor Sword Saint Xuanji . "

The six guards were a bit shocked at the name .

After all, Lin Yue was the Yin and Yang Sect's conqueror and one of the most influential figures at the Sword Technique Conference . He was not someone to be trifled with .

"Oh! You are the sword genius from the Yin and Yang Sect . "

Deference was written all over their faces .

The strongest Monk was caught in a dilemma . "Although Sword Saint Xuanji lives in the mansion, he is often away from home . Even we rarely see him . We don't know whether he is at home now or not . "

Obviously, they thought Lin Yue was still too young to be qualified for Sword Saint Xuanji's reception, even though he was celebrated among the younger generation of Monks .


"Master actually lives in the mansion . "

Zhang Ruochen was elated . "You can just report that I'm here . If the Sword Saint refuses to see me, I will take my leave . "

The six guards were at a loss when Feng Han walked out the front gate .

Feng Han was Sword Saint Xuanji's fourth disciple . He was tall and slim with the look of a 25-year-old, but his complexion was sickly and ashen .

"Swoosh!"

At the sight of Feng Han, the six guards went down on their knees to salute him . Together they said, "Greetings, Half-Saint Feng Han . "

Zhang Ruochen had heard the name "Feng Han" before, but this was his first time seeing him in person . He said to himself, "He is the Fourth Elder Brother, Feng Han . The Third Elder Brother once told me that he is highly gifted in the Tao of the sword, even the best among all the Elder Brothers . "

Somehow, Zhang Ruochen felt vaguely that Feng Han came across as dangerous, so familiar and yet so strange at the same time .



Compared to the other three Elder brothers—Saint Qing Xiao, Zhu Hongtao and Wan Ke, the Fourth Elder Brother was imbued with a hidden aura of gloom and evil .

Wearing a sick look, Feng Han raised a hand, beckoning them to stand up .

"Cough . "

He gave a small cough and said in a hoarse voice, "Lin Yue, Master knows you have arrived at the front gate to visit him and has asked me to accompany you in, please!"

Zhang Ruochen gave Feng Han a salute and followed him into the mansion .

The mansion covered a land of about 10 hectares, neither large nor small .

The mansion was quiet and tranquil and there were only a few people around .

In the center of the mansion was a lotus pond veiled in thick mist . Sword Saint Xuanji was sitting by the pool fishing with a cyan bamboo pole in hand .

"I have brought Lin Yue . Master, is there anything else I need to do?" Feng Han asked bending over .

Sword Saint Xuanji smiled and waved his hand . "Feng Han, you may take your leave . I want to talk to Lin Yue in private . "

Feng Han was slightly surprised . He turned to look at Lin Yue in bewilderment .

He was curious about why the Master would receive a Monk in the Fish-Dragon Realm in person .

Feng Han shook his head and left .

Zhang Ruochen could barely hold back his inner excitement . As soon as Feng Han was out of sight, he immediately saluted to his Master .

In an attempt to probe into his cultivation, Sword Saint Xuanji lifted the bamboo pole . The fishing line was drawn swiftly from the water's surface . It turned into a silver light and landed at Zhang Ruochen's neck .

Zhang Ruochen was jolted into releasing his Divine Body Shield and running the holy Qi all throughout his body to strike a palm back .

"Swish, swish!"

The fishing line was soft, but wrapped in a layer of holy Qi, it became sharp and turned into sword Qi in nine waves, one after another .



It went through the palm power and began to wind around Zhang Ruochen's legs, hands, waist and other parts of his body seamlessly .

For a sword saint, anything, even grass or wood could become his weapon and play out immeasurable power .

With his cultivation, Sword Saint Xuanji could split a city in half with a leaf . If he employed all his force .

He was using the fishing line as a sword . His sword technique was so superb that Zhang Ruochen was caught off guard .

Zhang Ruochen tried to step back, only to find his body entangled and his way of escape blocked .

Sword Saint Xuanji saw that Zhang Ruochen was bound and smiled faintly . "The sword can be hard or soft . Only a sword that is both hard and soft is an invincible sword . "

Sword Saint Xuanji interpreted the essence of Sword Two as a combination of "hardness" and "softness" and therefore paid more attention to sword movement .

Zhang Ruochen smiled . He reached his hand out and a meter long sword appeared in each hand . He shouted, "Sword Two . "

The two swords moved in the air to form a domain of sword Qi that extended outwards . Hundreds of spinning streaks of sword Qi turned into a black-and-white vortex that circled around the fishing line .

"Break!"

Zhang Ruochen flew up high and struck the line . It gave off a ding sound .

The fishing line missed its target and became a jumble .

Zhang Ruochen lunged forward to break away from the fishing line and appeared behind Sword Saint Xuanji .

The swords in Zhang Ruochen's hands instantly turned into holy Qi and dispersed .

He went down on his one knee and said, "Greetings, Master . "

Sword Saint Xuanji squinted his eyes and nodded his approval . "Good . Pretty good . You have already reached the second level of Sword Two . Ruochen, you have really lived up to my expectations . "

A Monk in the Fish-Dragon Realm had the potential to become a sword saint only if he could cultivate to the tenth realm—the Completion of Sword One .



It was apparent that Zhang Ruochen was more brilliant than anyone else . How could Sword Saint Xuanji not be delighted when his disciple was improving by leaps and bounds?

Sword Saint Xuanji gave a loud chuckle of delight and reached his hands out in the air . Zhang Ruochen's body was suddenly straightened by an invisible force .

Zhang Ruochen asked, "I have a question . Master, how do you recognize me?"

Sword Saint Xuanji stared at him . "You need to practice the Change of 36 Forms further . You can deceive everyone else, except me . "

Zhang Ruochen smiled . He was displaying his little trick before an expert .

After all, the martial technique had been taught by his Master . No one else could see the flaws, but his Master could .

The Sword Saint rose and began to pace back and forth with his hands behind back . "With your current prowess, you might be recognized by the seasoned Monks at the Sword Technique Conference . For the next few days, stay here, and I will help you refine your Change of 36 Forms to perfection . "

"You know I'm going to participate in the Sword Technique Conference?" Zhang Ruochen asked .

Sword Saint Xuanji replied with his eyes wide-open, "With your current cultivation in Tao of the sword, it will be easy for you to enter the top ten even if you can't make it into the top three . If you missed this amazing opportunity to compete with the world's best sword masters and geniuses, I would die of anger . "

"I am a Sword Saint and of course, I don't want to lose face . If you can rise to prominence at the conference, it will be a great comfort for me . It will improve my mental outlook, which will increase my chances of defeating the Nine Serenity Sword Saint by at least ten percent . "

Sword Saint Xuanji and the Nine Serenity Sword Saint were neck and neck in terms of cultivation . It was hard to tell who was stronger .

Their mental state on the day of the battle would have a great impact on their performance .

The better mental the state, the greater the chances of winning .

At the thought of the upcoming life or death battle, Zhang Ruochen grew worried . "Master, you have already done enough for me . You don't have to risk fighting the Nine Serenity Sword Saint . What if something happens . . . ?"

Sword Saint Xuanji stopped him with a wave of the hand . He appeared very calm . "Actually, when I issued the letter challenging the Nine Serenity Sword Saint it was not exactly for you . "

"My cultivation has reached a tipping point and cultivation alone can not help me to break past this point . "

"Only a battle of life or death with an equal rival can spur my full potential so that I can break through to the realm I want . "

"Nine Serenity might be in the same situation as me . He is also using this battle to get over the bottleneck . It explains why he accepted the letter of challenge even though he didn't kill you . "

"For him, it's a rare opportunity . "Please download our sponsor's game to support us!
