Chapter 448 - Killing Blood Spirit Queen
Chapter 448: Killing Blood Spirit Queen
Her claws were imbued with a strong killing force before they hit Zhang Ruochen’s body. They penetrated his Celestial Bodyshield and left five holes on his robe.
He immediately grabbed her wrist and mobilized his Genuine Qi, injecting it into his Hand Meridians. He twisted his arm and threw Blood Spirit Queen, sending her flying.
Simultaneously, he struck his palm upward.
“Dragon and Elephant Return to Earth.”
With a banging sound, his palm hit Blood Spirit Queen and threw her in the air.
After falling to the ground, she staggered and took 17 steps backward as she resolved the palm power.
However, she was still hurt badly. Drops of blood dripped from her chest and soaked her clothes.
There were many bloody cracks around the palm print, making her body seem fragmented.
She immediately grabbed a mercenary warrior and drained his blood. The blood that entered her throat was like nutrient to her and flew toward her wounds.
Her wound began healing at a speed visible to the naked eye. Very soon, she had recovered.
“Zhang Ruochen becomes terribly powerful with the help of the Sarira. He nearly killed me with one palm just now,” she thought.
She looked into the distance and spotted Zhang Ruochen fighting with Blue Emissary.
He took a small step forward and swung his sword without using any sword movements. Instead, he made earth-shaking giant waves of Sword Breath.
Sword Breath rushed over and left four bloody sword wounds on Blue Emissary, who had ranked second among the Seven Kills Emissary.
He was injured by the Sword Breath.
Crash!
Zhang Ruochen turned into an illusion and rushed out once again. He used his finger as a sword and held out a golden index finger to attack Blue Emissary’s mid-brows.
Blue Emissary’s expression changed greatly. He immediately placed a giant sword across his body and stretched out his left hand, turning it into a handprint attacking toward the body of the sword.
He wanted to use his palm power and sword force to resist Zhang Ruochen’s Finger Sword.
Bam!
Zhang Ruochen’s fingers struck the sword body, resulting in an instant piercing sound.
Circles of water wave-like Sword Breath fluctuated and spread out in all directions revolving around Zhang Ruochen’s fingertips.
“Pft!”
Blue Emissary spat out a mouthful of blood. The armor on his body burst open. His skin was punctured by the Sword Breath, turning his whole body bloody.
His right hand that had been holding the sword—from the wrist, to the skin of the fingers, the flesh, and the meridians—turned into blood, leaving only bones behind.
The giant sword fell from his hand and pierced the ground. The tip of the sword sank into the ground half a meter deep.
The mercenary warriors were all very excited. Zhang Ruochen’s opponent was Blue Emissary of the Black Market Hall of Fame, yet he actually defeated him with only one move and hurt him badly with two moves.
Could Blue Emissary withstand his third move?
He didn’t give Blue Emissary the chance to escape. He immediately gathered his Genuine Qi and directed it to his left thumb. He then executed his third move.
“Sun Meridian Ripple.”
He seemed to empty the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth inside the Langhuan Golden Bell in a flash. The Spiritual Qi turned into a powerful sword path and flew out like burning sun.
The sword waves would soon kill Blue Emissary.
“Zhang Ruochen, how dare you to kill an Emissary!”
Suddenly, Purple Wind Emissary threw himself in front of Blue Emissary and hit the Purple Torch Spear to the ground. A layer of flame rushed out from the ground and formed a purple, circular wall of fire. It fended off the sword waves.
Boom!
The two powers collided and broke out with red and purple lights. The lights sent the nearby warriors flying.
Zhang Ruochen narrowed his eyes. “The martial technique of mid-class of ghost level, Fire of Cold Underground.”
Purple Wind Emissary pulled the spear out of the ground and lay it horizontally. She stood up and said coldly, “Yes. It’s the Fire of Cold Underground Essence Qi.”
The Fire of Cold Underground Essence Qi was a kind of martial technique. It required the monk to stay in the underground all the year round to absorb the cold underground vital essence and assemble them into flames, so the monk could succeed in practicing the martial technique cultivation.
According to legend, the underground vital essence was the Essence Qi of Hell. When the essence Qi was practiced to a certain extent, it could even become the Sacred Hell Fire.
While Zhang Ruochen and Purple Wind Emissary stood facing each other, a piece of Spiritual Blood silently came out from the underground behind the former and turned into Blood Spirit Queen’s body.
A cruel smile appeared on Blood Spirit Queen’s face. She put her hands together and condensed her body’s strength before hitting Zhang Ruochen squarely on the back.
“Zhang Ruochen, watch out for your back.”
When Silvermoon saw the Blood Spirit Queen, she quickly reminded Zhang Ruochen.
Now, only he could help the Silver Sky Mercenary Group.
If he was hurt badly from a sneak attack, there would be no saving their group.
She was desperate to stop Blood Spirit Queen but she was unfortunately heavily wounded. She had her hands full just resisting the sound wave attack of the Langhuan Golden Bell.
Everyone thought Blood Spirit Queen would kill Zhang Ruochen but they didn’t know that his Spiritual Power was that powerful. He had long noticed that Blood Spirit Queen was behind him.
He separated his legs and applied his bodily movement, instantly dividing his body into three parts.
One figure flew upward, another went downward, while the last turned backward.
They each struck out one move of palm technique.
“Elephant Galloping.”
“Dragon in the Sky.”
“Nine-folds of the Elephant Power.”
The three movements of handprints nearly hit Blood Spirit Queen’s body at the same time. They fell on the top of her head, lower abdomen, and chest and sent her flying.
“I’ve said that we’ve to end our grudges today. Now, everything should be over.”
Zhang Ruochen rushed forward as his feet continued to change positions.
Every time he moved, there would be an extra figure on the ground. In the end, he landed yet another strike on Blood Spirit Queen.
Bang, bang!
In a flash, he struck out 72 palms in succession and left 72 figures on the ground. In the end, all the figures were integrated into one. He retrieved his hands.
A short moment later, Blood Spirit Queen fell from the air. Her feet fell to the ground as she found footing three steps away from him.
Streaks of blood-colored lines like pottery and porcelain appeared on her body. They then burst open and turned into a cloud of blood fog.
“Is everything over?”
Zhang Ruochen stared at the cloud of blood fog. He was still on ground, thinking that the life aura of the Blood Spirit Queen hadn’t completely dissipated.
Being a Blood Spirit, she couldn’t be killed so easily.
“Zhang Ruochen, let me help you. Hehe!”
Red Wish Emissary flew over and smiled at him from under her thin layer of veil. She took out a cloth bag filled with runes and placed the cloud of Spiritual Blood inside the bag.
“Refine.”
Red Wish Emissary was very beautiful with her every movement brimming with charm. From the bag, she poured the cloud of Spiritual Blood into a drug tripod more than 13 centimeters tall.
Sad howling sounds came from inside the drug tripod.
The sound disappeared a moment later.
The Spiritual Blood turned into a glittering thumb-sized red pill.
“Spiritual Blood Pill, refined with the Blood Spirit in the Sixth Change of Fish-dragon Realm. This is definitely a medicine suitable for improving one’s cultivation. Zhang Ruochen, no matter how powerful you are, you’re just fulfilling my dream.”
Red Wish Emissary grinned and picked up the pill with two snow-white fingers. She then swallowed it.
“It’s true that Blood Spirit Pill is rare, but what a pity that it has such massive adverse side effects.”
Zhang Ruochen remained still in his place without trying to snatch the pill. He stood in front of the mercenary warriors, such as Nie Honglou and Silvermoon, protecting them.
Having killed Blood Spirit Queen, he could just leave. But he didn’t do so.
Since he chose to help the group, he would help them to the end.
The main purpose of the Blood Spirit Pill was helping the user to quickly enhance his Spiritual Blood and Martial Soul.
Enhancing one’s Spiritual Blood was actually to enhance his physical quality and quickly improve his martial cultivation.
Of course, the pill could also increase the user’s Martial Soul. However, it could also affect the user’s Martial Soul and produce strong side effects.
Red Wish Emissary was in the Dawn State of the Heaven Realm. However, she dared to swallow the pill that was made of the Blood Spirit in the Sixth Change of Fish-dragon Realm. The pill would inevitably have a great effect on her Martial Soul.
Martial Soul was a spirit.
If the Martial Soul was affected, the Heart State in the future would naturally be distorted. It wasn’t necessarily a good thing for the practice of the Holy Road.
This was why Zhang Ruochen didn’t snatch the pill.
He knew that the masters of the Black Market he was about to face were far more horrifying than the dead Blood Spirit Queen. None of them were opponents to be trifled with.
