Chapter 1148 - Empress Moran
Chapter 1148: Empress Moran
Blood Saint Yigu smiled with his sword horizontal before him. His Blood Qi grew thicker.
He was indeed a bit weaker than Zhang Ruochen. If they continued fighting, he might lose. However, it wasn’t hard for him to delay Zhang Ruochen for a bit. By the time Qitian Crown Prince and the other Immortal Vampires hurried over, Zhang Ruochen wouldn’t be able to keep going.
“Use the formation,” Zhang Ruochen said.
He wasn’t confident in releasing the power of the Yin and Yang Sect sword formation with Huang Yanchen, but he had no other choice now.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yanchen’s bodies shook. They flew to the left and right with 300 feet between them. Immediately after, they began practicing the Yang Nine Sword and Yin Nine Sword. Their sword intents transformed into beams of light that flooded out.
Blood Saint Yigu was calm. “In ten more breaths’ time,” he proclaimed, “the strong figures of the Immortal Vampires will all be here. What is the point of your desperate actions?”
But gradually, a serious look appeared in Blood Saint Yigu’s eyes. He felt stronger and stronger pressure coming from Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yanchen.
What were they going to do?
The sword intent coming from these two quickly intertwined. A huge Taichi symbol appeared beneath their feet. Zhang Ruochen was split into nine copies, Huang Yanchen as well.
The next moment, 18 figures appeared at once, dancing with their swords on the Taichi symbol. The symbol’s shockwaves traveled very far. Soon, Blood Saint Yigu was swept into it.
The Yin and Yang Sect used people as the foundation and the sky and earth as two compasses. Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yanchen really had great chemistry now, so they were able to reach the state of “sword intent connection.”
“This is...the Yin and Yang Sect Sword Formation...”
It was many times more powerful than the Heaven and Earth Sword Formation of Martial Saint Xuantian and Ningjing. Blood Saint Yigu had lived for almost 500 years. He’d obviously heard of its name before.
Sensing danger, he didn’t hesitate and flew back with his wings out.
“Want to escape?”
Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yanchen raised their swords at almost the same time. Controlling all the Spiritual Qi in the surroundings, guiding it to their saint swords, they cut down in the direction that Blood Saint Yigu ran toward.
Whoosh—
The brilliant light was like a bright moon. It flew toward Blood Saint Yigu, who was running for his life.
Blood Saint Yigu felt strong danger. He used his secret technique for escape. His blood burned and his speed multiplied many times.
I have to use my secret escape technique for two juniors. This is so embarrassing.
He’d already flown for dozens of miles, but he still felt the terrifying Sword Qi chasing after him. Cold sweat rolled down his back.
Ugh, I can’t escape even with my secret escape technique.
All his meridians bulged, making him extremely menacing. He turned quickly and brought his blood sword down.
Boom. Blood Saint Yigu’s sword cracked into metal shards. A crescent Sword Qi sliced Blood Saint Yigu in half as if cutting tofu.
The Sword Qi carried both Yin and Yang power. It burned half of Blood Saint Yigu’s body while freezing the other half. He didn’t die. Instead, he cried out as he suffered pain like he’d never felt before.
“I have already formed a saintly source and cultivated saintly blood. My life’s level has far surpassed you two. My vitality obviously can’t be...imagined...by you mortals... You can’t kill me...cough...”
Blood Saint Yigu roared. Despite using all his might, he still couldn’t reconsolidate his body. His voice grew weaker and weaker.
“I...cannot accept this...”
A moment later, the upper half of his body was burned to the bone while the lower half of his body was forever frozen. This extremely powerful Saint couldn’t escape death.
Many creatures were shocked at this scene. After all, a Blood Saint at his full power was at the top of the lower Saint Realm. But he couldn’t stop Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yanchen’s one strike. This was terrifying.
“Together, we’ll suppress those two.”
Qitian Crown Prince, Qiu Yu, the Sky-Swallowing Demonic Dragon, and Emperor Tianming were all within 100 miles. They allied with some other Saints and attacked at once.
The Taichi print spun quickly. The power it released grew stronger and stronger. The nearby stars were attracted as well.
Suddenly, Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yanchen dipped forward. They sent forward the Sword Qi, Spiritual Qi, and Taichi print made of stars.
Kaboom!
The Taichi print was miles long. Within it, the Yin and Yang forces spun rapidly. It blocked all the powers and continued flying.
“It’s only a sword formation, but it can utilize the power of the stars. It is terrifyingly strong.”
Seeing the approaching Taichi print, Qitian Crown Prince, Qiu Yu, Emperor Tianming and the others all grew serious. They used all their Consummate Skills, fending off the Taichi print with all their might.
Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yanchen didn’t continue using the Yin and Yang Sword Formation. From Zhang Ruochen’s calculations, that last hit had used up 70 or 80 percent of Huang Yanchen’s Holy Qi. It was difficult to maintain it.
“Go.”
Hitting out a beam of white Sword Qi to form a bridge, he held Huang Yanchen and used the Great Spatial Move. He sped toward the star with Sikong One and Sikong Two.
Boom.
Dozens of strong cultivators shattered the Taichi print. They continued after Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yanchen. Other than them, there were hundreds of strong cultivators from various races. They also flew quickly from all directions.
Zhang Ruochen took out the Clear Day Bow and Shining Sun Arrow. He shot while flying forward.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Shooting three arrows in a row, Zhang Ruochen killed three Beast Kings who were 100 miles away.
Two 30-meter-long fiery wings sprouted from Qiu Yu’s back. He chased after Zhang Ruochen, saying, “Zhang Ruochen, if you give me the World Spirit, I can spare your life. I treasure talents and don’t wish you to die within these stars.”
Zhang Ruochen laughed. “Those are big words. You want to spare someone’s life, but can you save your own?”
“To you, there’s no other choice today,” Qiu Yu said. “You can only choose to believe me.”
Zhang Ruochen paused and looked back. Qiu Yu thought that he’d decided to give him the World Spirit for a chance to live. His lips curled up into a soft smile. “You’ve made a wise...choice...”
The shadows of a blue dragon and elephant emerged on Zhang Ruochen’s arms. He pulled back the Clear Sky Bow. Aiming at Qiu Yu, he shot the arrow. He used all his might in this.
The Shining Sun Arrow broke through the air with a deafening roar. Dozens of thick lightning bolts intertwined on the arrow. In an instant, it was before Qiu Yu.
This Shining Sun Arrow was much stronger than Qitian Crown Prince’s. Qiu Yu didn’t dare to catch it. He had to dodge to the right. The arrow scraped past him and cut off a strand of hair.
Poof, poof.
The Shining Sun Arrow pierced the body of a Vampire Pre-Saint behind Qiu Yu. Then it flew back into Zhang Ruochen’s hands.
Qiu Yu’s expression turned cold. “You will regret taking advantage of my nice side. You’re the one searching for death. Don’t blame me.”
In the vast starry sky, Qing Mo, Princess White Li, Sikong One, Sikong Two, Princess Moran, and Sun Dadi stood on a star. They looked at the distant shocking battles with worry.
Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yanchen were chased after by hundreds of strong cultivators. This included Saints too. Many times, they were almost surrounded but still managed to create an opening and rush out.
Dozens of corpses floated in the universe. The weakest ones were still Pre-Saints who’d gone through one trial already.
After the endless fighting, Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yanchen were also injured. Their bodies were bloody.
“No, I must go help them,” Qing Mo said anxiously. Ignoring Huang Yanchen’s orders, she stopped guarding Princess Moran and undid the seal within her. Using her Saint Realm cultivation, she rushed out toward 500 miles away.
Qing Mo’s true form was a saintly vine that had grown for 40,000 years. Her cultivation was extremely high and had surpassed every lower Saint.
An odd smile appeared in Princess Moran’s eyes. “Unseal,” she uttered.
Thirty-six cracks sounded within her. Thirty-six saintly runes broke deep within her blood. Powerful Holy Qi surged out, forming nine dragon shadows.
Roar!
The black dragons carried a demonic Qi. They flew out in nine beams of black light. In that instant, they flew out as nine streaks of black light and pierced Sikong One, Sikong Two, Sun Dadi, and Princess White Li.
Princess Moran’s attack had been sudden, extremely fast, and unavoidable. The three people and one beast spat out fresh blood. They flew out with a pained cry.
“No!”
Qing Mo had just flown out. Sensing the change behind her, she turned immediately...
The moment she turned, Princess Moran was already before her. A foxy smile appeared on her face.
Poof.
Princess Moran’s fingers pierced Qing Mo’s chest. The snow-white fingers poked through Qing Mo’s back with drops of red blood.
“Ah...” Qing Mo cried out. Her entire body shook in pain. Shreds of Holy Qi floated out of the wound in her chest. Her vitality was slipping away.
“No!”
Seeing this, Sun Dadi and Sikong One both yelled in anger. Their eyes were bloodshot and they were furious. They couldn’t bear to see Qing Mo die, but they were heavily injured and couldn’t even crawl, let alone save Qing Mo.
Sun Dadi had fully woken up. He realized that Princess Moran was a very dangerous figure. Eyes filled with tears, he yelled, “Who are you?”
Princess Moran no longer had any disguises. She showed her cold and foxy aura. Looking down at Sun Dadi and Sikong One, she said, “You idiots. I am Emperor Blue Dragon’s first empress, Empress Moran.”
