Chapter 1358: Dust To Dust, Ashes To Ashes
Feng Yinying didn’t think that Zhang Ruochen had the ability to defeat her. But with the Abyss Ancient Sword and Buddha’s sarira, he was able to fight her. Thus, she put away her disdain.
Crackle, crackle.
Yin Qi spread out of the injury. It was actually healing slowly. At the same time, Holy Qi surged quickly within her. The power that burst from her grew stronger and stronger.
“If you don’t run, I’ll kill you within 20 strikes.”
“I’d like to see who runs first today.”
Zhang Ruochen activated his Holy Qi and sent it into the Buddha’s sarira. A golden and dazzling Buddha appeared. The figure reached out a hand, like a five-fingered mountain, and pressed down on Feng Yinying.
Feng Yinying’s long hair and robes fluttered without wind blowing. She took out a small black pagoda. Holding it in her hand, she cried out, “Even if you have a Supreme Saint’s ancient weapon, you still can’t defeat everything. Yin Pagoda opens, the six ghosts come out.”
Six Ghost King flew out of the pagoda and stood at six points around her. The ghostly figures grew bigger and bigger. Each one was 100 feet tall and pushed up the golden Buddha hand.
The black pagoda in Feng Yinying’s hand was very sharp. It looked like a spear and stabbed straight toward Zhang Ruochen.
Many purple patterns emerged on the pagoda’s surface. The 72 doors were all open, releasing heavy ghostly Qi.
“The Yin Pagoda, second on the Thousand-pattern Saint Weapon List.”
Zhang Ruochen’s expression didn’t change. He activated the sword intent of Sword Seven again. Transforming into a streak of light, it crashed against the incoming Yin Pagoda.
Vast power flooded out of the tips of both the Abyss Ancient Sword and pagoda. The Saints of the two ancient races all flew out like leaves.
Zhang Ruochen was forced back too. Each step he took would collapse the ground.
Guoguo and the Demon Ape rushed forward. They each sent out a force against Zhang Ruochen’s back to help him resolve the Yin Pagoda’s force.
Feng Yinying held the Yin Pagoda and laughed. “This is a True Saint’s power!”
“What a powerful bitch. Lord Chen, let Princess White Li take care of her!”
Guoguo’s teeth chattered. It was afraid that Feng Yinying could come over.
Zhang Ruochen hadn’t had the upper hand in the previous clash of power, but with his Natural Five Elements Chaotic Body, he took it full-on without getting hurt. Five-colored lights sparkled on his body. The chaotic Blood Qi within him calmed. The pain in his arm disappeared too.
“Princess White Li’s mission is to stop the cultivators from the two races from escaping. As for this princess of the Ghost Cultivation Race, I can take care of her. You two go kill the cultivators now.”
“Okay.”
An evil black cloud flooded out of the Demon Ape. It jumped up. The next moment, he was above the Saints of the two races.
Feng Yinying was very clear about the Demon Ape’s abilities. Once it got into the various Saints, it would probably cause many deaths. Thus, she sent the Yin Pagoda out, flying toward the Demon Ape’s head.
“Your opponent is me.” Zhang Ruochen waved his sword, blocking the Yin Pagoda.
“You dare to fight against me? I’ll disable you first today.”
Feng Yinying was filled with aggression. She clenched her hands into claws and pressed toward where Zhang Ruochen was. Rules of Saintly Way rushed out of her palms, like two huge nets. Even the space seemed to be freezing over.
In the distant abandoned manor, Qing Mo had a shocked expression. “The Rules of Saintly Way are showing. A True Saint is so scary.”
Princess White Li stood behind Huang Yanchen and Qing Mo. “If you want to go from the Heaven Pass Realm to the True Saint Realm, you must turn the Rules of Saintly Way from illusory to tangible. When you reach that step, your body will be a small world. The might that you can produce isn’t something other cultivators can imagine.”
Qing Mo was worried. “Then, isn’t the lord in danger now?”
Princess White Li chuckled. “Feng Yinying is a small world, but the sect leader is a large world. If he uses the power of the Universe World, he can kill Feng Yinying with one hit. However, he clearly doesn’t want to use that power. He’s building up experience in fighting with a True Saint.”
Zhang Ruochen watched the true Rules of Saintly Way flow out of Feng Yinying’s hands. His lips curled and he pushed his hands forward too. Jingmie Divine Fire flooded out of his hands.
Sizzle, sizzle.
The true Rules of Saintly Way melted from the fire. The two were at a stalemate. Neither was able to defeat the other.
Booms and pained cries sounded behind Feng Yinying.
The Demon Ape and Guoguo had gotten into the group of cultivators from the two races. With their power, it was like entering a no-man’s land. The cultivators were beaten into a pulp. All the ghosts were scattered.
Feng Yinying was caught up with Zhang Ruochen. She clenched her teeth in anger and ordered, “Cultivators of the Ancient Ghost Cultivation Race and Ancient Necromancer Race, listen. Leave Mingjing Manor immediately. Hurry to the residence of Heavenly King Douzhan. Report to him that Zhang Ruochen is in the Central Emperor City. Tell him to come arrest Zhang Ruochen.”
The cultivators of the Ancient Ghost Cultivation Race and Ancient Necromancer Race immediately started fighting back and rushing out of the manor.
One of the Saint elders was the fastest. Not even the Demon Ape could catch up with his speed. He charged directly into the darkness.
Seeing an elder escape, Feng Yinying smiled menacingly. “Zhang Ruochen, you’re still not fleeing? When Heavenly King Douzhan arrives, even Ling Feiyu won’t be able to save you...”
“Ah!”
Abruptly, that Saint elder’s cry sounded in the darkness. Princess White Li walked out of the darkness, holding the elder’s corpse. She threw it onto the ground with a thud. Then her finger pointed in a few other directions.
The cultivators who were trying to escape all exploded into clouds of bloody mist.
Seeing this, capillaries showed within Feng Yinying’s eyes. She was furious. “There are more strong figures?”
Princess White Li’s body shone with sparkling white light. “Sect Leader,” she said gently. “Do you need my help?”
Before Zhang Ruochen spoke, Feng Yinying had already taken a step back. She hurried into the distance. Clearly, Princess White Li’s appearance gave her a sense of danger. She didn’t have the powerful aura from before. She had to run.
“Come back.”
Zhang Ruochen grabbed in the air. He used Spatial Twist and pulled Feng Yinying back from hundreds of feet away.
“Spatial power.” Feng Yinying discovered that she was getting closer and closer to Zhang Ruochen.
Expression changing, she hurriedly pulled back the Yin Pagoda. She put all her power into sending Holy Qi into it. Runes interwove on the pagoda. Icy Destruction of the Thousand-patterns spewed out.
Zhang Ruochen’s battle intent was vibrant too. He grabbed the hilt of the Abyss Ancient Sword. Closing his eyes, the territories of time and space appeared at the same time.
“Zi Sword! Chou Sword! Yin Sword!”
Splitting into three bodies, it was like three Zhang Ruochens rushed out, performing a move from the time sword technique at the same moment.
Whoosh!
The three swords cut down from different angles. They all hit Feng Yinying, sending her flying. There was an injury on her neck, back, and leg.
The injury on her neck cut her neck in half.
The injury on her back practically stabbed through her body.
The injury on her leg broke her left leg.
Of course, Zhang Ruochen was also injured by a beam of power from the Yin Pagoda. However, he was far from as hurt as Feng Yinying.
Feng Yinying’s entire body shook, knowing that she had estimated Zhang Ruochen’s abilities incorrectly. The powers of time and space were too strange. One couldn’t guard against them.
“Six Ghosts, come back.”
She summoned back the six Ghostly Kings and manipulated them to charge at Zhang Ruochen. At the same time, she flew in the opposite direction, wanting to escape right this moment.
The six Ghost Kings all screamed. Their bodies overlapped, radiating with dazzling golden light. Power comparable to a third-trial Ghost King burst from them. However, there were differences between third-trial Ghost Kings too.
Some were as strong as True Saints. Others could kill True Saints. Their abilities were more than ten times stronger.
The golden Ghost King formed by the six Ghost Kings were about the same as Feng Yinying. It was like the beginner True Saint and couldn’t be compared to Ghost King Bloodmoon.
Zhang Ruochen held the Buddha’s sarira with both hands. He activated the origin power. A shred of a Supreme Saint’s power burst forth. It consolidated into a Buddha and golden dragon, crashing against the golden Ghost King.
The sarira could counter ghostly soldiers by itself. Now, it even had the Buddha and golden dragon’s origin power. A true third-trial Ghost King might be able to block it, but the combination of the six Ghost Kings couldn’t.
Kaboom.
The golden Ghost King was torn apart, turning back into six souls. Zhang Ruochen waved his hand. Jingmie Divine Fire flew out, burning the six souls. They were all destroyed.
Feng Yinying didn’t escape. She was stopped by Princess White Li and sent flying back from a slap. She happened to run into the incoming Zhang Ruochen.
“Abyss.”
The Abyss Ancient Sword appeared between Zhang Ruochen’s hands. It spun quickly, producing piercing screams. It flew out and penetrated Feng Yinying’s body with a poof.
Her body flew back toward Princess White Li.
“Dust to dust, ashes to ashes.”
Princess White Li used a handprint and slammed Feng Yinying to the ground. Her body shattered. Even her saint soul was destroyed.
Feng Yinying had reached the True Saint Realm. She could’ve become the next leader of the Ancient Ghost Cultivation Race. Unfortunately, she couldn’t escape and died here.
Princess White Li walked to Feng Yinying’s corpse. She picked up the Yin Pagoda and smiled beautifully. “This is a powerful saint weapon.”
Kaboom.
Suddenly, the ground shook violently. Deep roars came from underground. Chilling Corpse Qi rushed out of the bottomless ten-meter-wide hole. It formed a vortex and swept through the entire Mingjing Manor.
Zhang Ruochen gazed over at the bottomless hole. He had a cautious expression. “Corpse Emperor Tianming and Ghost King Bloodmoon should have a result now. But how come the Corpse Qi flooding out of the ground doesn’t seem like Corpse Emperor Tianming?”
