It was because of the Saint Soul Territory that even a Saint Body at the pinnacle of the Fish-Dragon Realm’s Ninth Change couldn’t compete with a first level Half-Saint .

It wasn’t just the gap between the Fish-Dragon Realm and the Half-Saint Realm . The Saint Soul Territory also had an absolute restrictive effect . It was the same when two Half-Saints fought . If they were in different levels, the Saint Soul Territory would completely restrict the one in the lower level .

At this moment, Zhang Ruochen had to bear 1,000 times normal gravity . That was not all . The Saint Soul Territory also affected his hearing, vision, Spiritual Power…

It was as if he’d sunk into quicksand . His limbs couldn’t move freely; even breathing had become difficult .

Half-Saint Xuanlong’s body popped and cracked . He inflated rapidly and returned to his original height . “Junior,” he said coldly . “You actually forced me to use my Saint Soul Territory . You are quite skilled . ”

Zhang Ruochen still seemed composed . “Really? Then do you believe that I defeated Shao Lin with my own abilities?”

“Hmph! You can ask that after you win against me,” Half-Saint Xuanlong said .

Zhang Ruochen straightened the hair at his fingertips again . “It seems that I can only prove myself by defeating you today . ”

Half-Saint Xuanlong laughed loudly . “You’ve already entered my Saint Soul Territory and you still dream about defeating me . Being under gravity that’s 1,000 times heavier must not feel good, right?”

Zhang Ruochen stared at Half-Saint Xuanlong as if he was an idiot . “Don’t you know that the laksanas of some unique physiques can absolutely counter a Half-Saint’s Saint Soul Territory?”

Regular Saint Bodies could only save themselves with the laksana when fighting with a first level Half-Saint . However, some more powerful physiques could actually fight back against a Saint Soul Territory with their laksanas .

“Five Elements Laksana . ”

Zhang Ruochen activated the laksana . At once, five types of power rushed out in all directions, transforming into a patch of colorless clouds . The incomplete Five Elements Laksana was much stronger than a first level Half-Saint’s Saint Soul Territory . It was still a bit weaker than a second level Half-Saint’s, but the pressure on Zhang Ruochen lightened quite a bit .

“Demolish!”

Zhang Ruochen activated his attack . He pushed all his Sword Intent into the hair at his fingertip . A strong gust of Sword Qi flooded out of the hair .

The powerful Sword Qi clashed with Half-Saint Xuanlong’s Saint Soul Territory . It tore through and reached towards Half-Saint Xuanlong’s heart .

“Good . ” Half-Saint Xuanlong raised his blue-green saint sword again . Grasping its hilt, he lifted it over his head, Sword Qi trailing behind it . Then he brought it down .

This moment would determine the victor and loser .

Just as the blue-green sword was about to hack Zhang Ruochen’s neck, Zhang Ruochen sank down quickly . Then he pushed off from his right leg and rushed to the left .

He poured all his Holy Qi into the hair and cut down on Half-Saint Xuanlong’s back .

Poof!

Squelch!

Two sounds arose at the same time . One of the Sword Qi rays from the blue-green sword landed on Zhang Ruochen’s right leg . It left behind a two-inch-deep wound . Blood gushed out of it like a fountain .

Zhang Ruochen’s right leg had been so close to being cut off entirely .

On the other hand, the hair had left a bloody line on Half-Saint Xuanlong’s back and flew out from his chest .

With a thud, Half-Saint Xuanlong fell to the ground . His body had been halved at his chest . The sound of him falling shocked many of the people present .

It hadn’t been this shocking even when Lin Yue had used the Void Sword to kill Shao Lin . How could a Half-Saint be this weak? Or was Lin Yue really this horrifying?

“A strand of hair slayed a Half-Saint… I must be dreaming…”

All the young Monks there were dazed . They couldn’t accept this .

Looking at Half-Saint Xuanlong in the puddle of blood, Saint Xuanyi of the Four Symbols Sect shook with anger . Pointing at Zhang Ruochen, he gritted out, “Lin Yue, Half-Saint Xuanlong only wanted to have a friendly fight with you . How could you do something so extreme? I think you’re just a bloodthirsty demon . ”

Zhang Ruochen didn’t feel like replying . Enduring the huge pain from his right leg, he trained his eyes on the two halves of Half-Saint Xuanlong’s corpse . His expression was heavy .

Seeing that Zhang Ruochen didn’t even glance at him, Saint Xuanyi’s eyes turned cold . “You first killed Shao Lin and then slayed Half-Saint Xuanlong . You are purposefully killing people . The Sword Technique Conference’s decree is to exchange sword techniques, not to train murderous devils . The Yin and Yang Sect must hand over the criminal!”

The Monks of the Yin and Yang Sect were all snickering .

“Senior Brother Apprentice Lin Yue used a strand of hair to kill a second level Half-Saint of the Four Symbols Sect . How can you blame him? It’s Half-Saint Xuanlong’s fault for being so weak . ”

“In my opinion, Half-Saint Xuanlong died because of himself . What kind of person is Senior Brother Apprentice Lin Yue? He’s not someone you can slander casually . ”

…

Zhang Ruochen ignored the arguing between the young Monks of both sects . He continued to stare at Half-Saint Xuanlong’s corpse and put his guard up .

The blood quickly flowed back into the two halves . Then blinding blood-red light enveloped Half-Saint Xuanlong’s body and Shao Lin’s body as well . There were smacking sounds, like some creature was drinking fresh blood .

The next moment, a strange winged creature flew out of the bloody light . There were fangs in its mouth and its eyes were blood-red . Its body and appearance had changed greatly, but one could make out similarities between its aura and Half-Saint Xuanlong .

Everyone was stunned by this scene . Even the Monks of the Four Symbols Sect widened their eyes . This was incredible .

“Didn’t Half-Saint Xuanlong die? How come he came back to life? And he’s become this strange creature…”

“Guys, look . Shao Lin’s corpse has turned into a mummy . Can it be that…Half-Saint Xuanlong is an Immortal Vampire and he sucked Shao Lin’s blood?”

Indeed, Shao Lin’s corpse had dried up . All that remained was his skeleton and a layer of brown skin . He was like a dried corpse of someone that had died centuries ago .

“Half-Saint Xuanlong must be an Immortal Vampire . Otherwise, he wouldn’t still be alive after being cut in half . He sucked Shao Lin’s fresh blood and healed himself . ”

Half-Saint Xuanlong picked up the Rosefinch Sword and charged at Zhang Ruochen . “Die!” he yelled in a hoarse, raspy voice .

Then he brought the Rosefinch Sword down at Zhang Ruochen .

Zhang Ruochen was already grasping the Void Sword . He was about to meet the enemy halfway .

“Monster, you won’t dare!” a deafening roar sounded at that time .

The Moon-Burier Sword Saint was instantly in front of Zhang Ruochen . Without moving, a gust of potent Sword Qi burst from his body and sent Half-Saint Xuanlong flying backwards .

Poof .

The countless beams of Sword Qi hit Half-Saint Xuanlong, leaving behind dozens of bloody holes . His body practically turned into a dice . If the Moon-Burier Sword Saint didn’t want to leave him alive, Half-Saint Xuanlong would have no chance of surviving .

The Moon-Burier Sword Saint walked over . Appearing beside Half-Saint Xuanlong, he unleashed his powerful saintly might on the Vampire . “Speak!” he said coldly . “Why did you want to kill Lin Yue? Who sent you to disturb the Sword Technique Conference?”

Half-Saint Xuanlong’s entire body was covered in blood, but he still laughed loudly . “Haha! All of you will die . Die…”

Countless thin bloody fissures opened up on his body abruptly . He inflated quickly . Powerful Holy Qi escaped from every fissure . He was like a leather ball that was about to burst .

The Moon-Burier Sword Saint’s eyes narrowed . He could obviously see that Half-Saint Xuanlong wanted to explode his body in a suicide attack .

“Overconfident . ”

The Moon-Burier Sword Saint released his Saint Soul Territory and pressed Half-Saint Xuanlong back instead . He turned Half-Saint Xuanlong into a cloud of bloody mist before he could attack .

All that remained was the bloody cloud and the acrid smell . Other than that, not even a bone from Half-Saint Xuanlong was left .

Everything that had happened had been full of twists and turns . Who would’ve thought that Half-Saint Xuanlong of the Four Symbols Sect was a Vampire?

The Immortal Vampire Race was the public enemy of humanity . Everyone would try to kill them . At that moment, everyone turned towards Saint Xuanyi of the Four Symbols Sect .

Some more radical swordsmen had already summoned their saint swords . They were ready to take care of this Monk .

The Moon-Burier Sword Saint’s eyes were sharp . “Xuanyi,” he said coldly . “You actually brought a Vampire to the Yin and Yang Sect . What is your goal? Does the Four Symbols Sect want to destroy the Sword Technique Conference or something else?”

Saint Kuxin of the Eight Trigram Sect scoffed . “Perhaps the Four Symbols Sect has a special relationship with the Immortal Vampire race . Otherwise, how could a Vampire Half-Saint just pop up out of nowhere?”

Saint Xuanyi huffed . “Saint Kuxin, that’s slander . The Four Symbols Sect is clean and innocent . How can we be connected to the Immortal Vampire race? You should know that they can control the blood within them and change their bodies to seem completely human . Even a Saint has difficulty seeing through their disguise .

“The Vampires used this method in the battle 800 years ago to infiltrate the top forces of Kunlun’s Field . They killed countless Saints and Half-Saints . Many of the Saints of the Eight Trigram Sect and Yin and Yang Sect must have been killed too, correct?

“I am curious how Lin Yue, a mere Fish-Dragon Eighth Change Monk, could tell that Half-Saint Xuanlong is a Vampire . ”

It was undeniable that Saint Xuanyi was speaking the truth . The Vampires’ disguises were indeed very sophisticated . After all, none of the Saints present had seen through Half-Saint Xuanlong’s cover . Thus, it wasn’t hard for Half-Saint Xuanlong to fool the Saints of the Four Symbols Sect .

Everyone looked back at Zhang Ruochen, suspicion in their eyes .
