God Emperor - Chapter 792

Chapter 792: 792

Huff!

Zhang Ruochen exhaled deeply, scattering the Sword Intent on him . The leaves that were flying quickly instantly lost their power . They floated down from the sky, scattering on the ground .

Whoosh!

Zhang Ruochen waved his sleeve, raising a gust of wind . The thick leaves were blown away, revealing Half-Saint Tai Xi below .

Half-Saint Tai Xi lay on the ground with countless slashes on his body . He’d become a bloody mess and was completely unrecognizable . The bone was visible under the bloody flesh in some places .

“Now do you believe that leaves can kill?” Zhang Ruochen asked .

Half-Saint Tai Xi’s entire body trembled as he rasped out, “I…won’t…surrender…”

“Even if you don’t want to, you have to . ”

Zhang Ruochen’s eyes were frigid . Dragons and elephants roared from his right arm . He slammed down with a gust of strong wind and crushed Half-Saint Tai Xi’s head into mush .

When he lifted his hand, his palm had a ball of blood-red Half-Saint Light . It was blinding, lighting the entire night sky with eerie redness .

“The third Half-Saint Light . ” Zhang Ruochen put it into the Ruyi Treasure Bottle .

The three Half-Saints all had a lot of powerful weapons and treasures . However, Zhang Ruochen didn’t have the time to look through them, so he put the three bodies directly into his Spatial Ring .

Half-Saint Tai Xi’s Ancient Jade Disc was the only one Zhang Ruochen held and studied . Then he poured his Holy Qi into it .

Poof, poof!

Wisps of blood-red inscriptions surged out of the center of the Ancient Jade Disc and stretched into the air .

The World Locking Formation is indeed a powerful battle formation . Thankfully, I’ve cultivated my Tao of Sword to the Human Sword state and first injured Half-Saint Tai Xi, causing the Ancient Jade Disc to lose control . Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to break open the battle formation . It’s highly possible I would be trapped here until death .

The Ancient Jade Disc was a very powerful battle formation saint weapon . Zhang Ruochen stored it in his arms . Then he looked in the direction that Feng Han had left in .

“You can’t escape so easily . ”

Putting Sword Saint Xuanji’s body into the Universe Spiritual Map, Zhang Ruochen took out the decree that Sword Saint Xuanji had given him . Gripping it, he poured his Holy Qi into the saint decree .

Powerful saintly power surged from it, wrapping around Zhang Ruochen .

Whoosh!

He transformed into a ray of white light . With speed that only a Saint could have, he rushed into the sky and chased after Feng Han .

A while later, Zhang Ruochen had flown thousands of miles . He caught up with Feng Han and Half-Saint Xin Yu .

The Fallen-gods Mountain Rage was very vast . A miasma covered the sky above the forest . It gave off a boundless feeling . Looking about, one couldn’t see any signs of life .

This was a massive primitive forest . Feng Han stopped and opened his blood-red eyes . Turning around, he looked to the sky, surprised . “He caught up this quickly? Even Half-Saint Tai Xi couldn’t stop him?”

Half-Saint Xin Yu looked back too . She pulled a long blood sword from the bone of her left arm . Spreading her wings, she flew 300 feet into the sky . “Sixth Prince, go on . I’ll stop him . ”

Thick bloody fog emanated from the long blood sword . It spread, covering the entire primitive forest . All the savage beasts in the forest sensed the dangerous aura and sprawled on the ground, trembling in fear . Some more powerful beasts turned and ran immediately .

Whoosh!

A beam of white light hit Half-Saint Xin Yu’s body like a shooting star . A spot of white light grew brighter and brighter in her eyes . Finally, it covered her entire vision . Just as she raised the blood sword, she was already thrown back . She dropped to the ground .

Kaboom .

A huge crater opened up on the ground . Dozens of big cracks appeared in the surrounding dirt . It was as if a meteorite had fallen .

At the bottom of the crater, Zhang Ruochen stood with the Abyss Ancient Sword stabbed through Half-Saint Xin Yu’s chest . She was nailed onto the ground . The strong power contained in the sword had shattered Half-Saint Xin Yu’s Saint Soul . It was reduced to specks of light that scattered in the air .

This one strike had scattered a Half-Saint’s soul .

Whoosh .

His expression cold, Zhang Ruochen pulled out the bloody sword without even looking at Half-Saint Xin Yu’s body . He walked out of the crater . Standing elevated, he looked down at Feng Han in the near distance .

“You’re the only one left!” he called .

Feng Han stared at Zhang Ruochen across from him . “Did Half-Saint Tai Xi die by your hands?” he asked, his expression not changing .

“Did you think he could still be alive?” Zhang Ruochen asked .

“You killed five Half-Saint Vampires in one night,” Feng Han said . “Merely this is an unforgivable sin . Even a human Saint can only pay for this crime with death . ”

“You poisoning Master is an even more unforgivable sin,” Zhang Ruochen said firmly . “Even if you become a Saint, you won’t be able to escape . ”

Feng Han grasped the Taotian Sword . He raised it and studied the blade . Then shaking his head, he smiled . “Actually, you’re the one that killed Master, not I . If not for you, he probably wouldn’t have gone to fight with the Nine Serenity Sword Saint . If not for your appearance, I would be his best disciple . He would have given me the Taotian Sword long ago .

“My goal is only the Taotian Sword . If I had it, I wouldn’t have had to kill him . To be honest, he’s not a bad guy . At least, I never hated him . ”

Zhang Ruochen’s anger gradually cooled . Instead, he felt depressed . He felt that injustice had befallen his teacher . Everyone said that kindness would be repaid, but sometimes, people take advantage of your kindness and hurt you instead . And instead of feeling any guilt after hurting you, they put all the blame on someone else .

His teacher must have been incomparably sad when he died .

Feng Han glanced back at Zhang Ruochen and wiped his smile away . “But, I truly hate you,” he said coldly . “Since you’ve followed me, I’ll send you on your way . This way, that old guy won’t be lonely on his way to the afterlife . ”

Whoosh!

He instantly activated his Saint Soul Territory . At the same time, he brought the Taotian Sword down toward Zhang Ruochen . Both his own speed and the sword’s speed were impossibly fast . He didn’t give Zhang Ruochen any chance to dodge .

Expressionless, Zhang Ruochen gripped his Abyss Ancient Sword . Using all his might, he swept it horizontally .

Boom!

A tidal wave of power flooded out of the Taotian Sword . In that instant, the web between Zhang Ruochen’s thumb and forefinger split open . The skin on his arms couldn’t withstand this power . It cracked and turned into a bloody mess .

The Abyss Ancient Sword flew out of his hand . It landed hundreds of feet away, burying into the side of a cliff . At the same time, Zhang Ruochen also flew back . He crashed through dozens of ancient trees, leaving a deep trench on the ground .

His headpiece cracked and his hair came loose . Half-kneeling on the ground, he pressed against it . Blood flowed endlessly out of his lips .

The earth was dyed red .

Holding the Taotian Sword, Feng Han walked towards Zhang Ruochen . Laughing, he said, “Sixth Junior Brother, you think that I’d retreated because I fear you? You are talented, but unfortunately, you’re too young . Your cultivation is still too far from mine . ”

Zhang Ruochen chuckled dryly . “You think that…I’ll pursue you…alone…”

“What?” Feng Han’s eyes darkened .

Zhang Ruochen stood up slowly . His bloodshot eyes stared at Feng Han . “You’re smart . You should understand what I mean . ”

“You told First Senior Brother?” Feng Han clenched his jaw . His eyes shone with murderous desire .

“You killed our Master and bit the hand that fed you . Any senior brother would kill you, not only First Senior Brother,” Zhang Ruochen said .

“You’re looking for death . ”

Feng Han grasped his sword and gathered all his power . Raising the Taotian Sword above his hand, he created a 100-foot-long beam of white light and brought the sword down .

The powerful Sword Qi brought great pressure to Zhang Ruochen . He closed his eyes and used his fastest speed to manipulate spatial power . He cast the Spatial Move and disappeared .

Kaboom .

Powerful Sword Qi cut down on where Zhang Ruochen had been standing, gouging a two-foot-wide trench in the ground . The huge slash was like a fissure in the earth . It stretched miles long, cutting the primitive forest in half .

The attack was powerful, but Feng Han could feel that he hadn’t killed Zhang Ruochen . Gradually, the Sword Qi dissipated .

Only a soft breeze remained in the air . Feng Han activated his Blood Sky Eye . He couldn’t find Zhang Ruochen at all, but he was sure that Zhang Ruochen was close . However, he was wearing the Shooting Star Invisible Cloak and was aided by spatial power, so he could be traceless .

Feng Han had worried about this, so he didn’t attack Zhang Ruochen . He was afraid Zhang Ruochen would latch onto him, making it hard to escape . He wasn’t actually afraid of Zhang Ruochen’s combat ability .

Feng Han stood in place, not daring to move . He didn’t want to provoke Zhang Ruochen’s sneak attack . “If you’re so powerful, come out and fight me face to face,” he roared .

His words didn’t result in Zhang Ruochen’s response . The sound waves just shook some yellow leaves loose .

Right now, Feng Han had gotten himself into a situation that he couldn’t extract himself from .

If Zhang Ruochen continued stalling, the other senior brother apprentices could catch up . At that time, Feng Han wouldn’t have the chance to escape anymore . If he retreated now, he would reveal a flaw and suffer Zhang Ruochen’s secret attack . Even with his cultivation, Feng Han wasn’t completely sure that he could block Zhang Ruochen’s spatial attacks .

If he couldn’t block it, he would die .
