Chapter 1722: Crushing Defeat
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
Chi Kunlun had very quick comprehension, and he immediately understood what Zhang Ruochen meant.
Bang! Bang!
All his bones were making sounds, and the strength went through his feet, his calves, his thighs, his belly, and his chest. He mobilized the strength of his entire body, which gushed out through his palms.
After that, Chi Kunlun drew back and tensed his entire body, warding off Zhang Ruochen’s palm strength.
Just as he was overjoyed, Zhang Ruochen formed a whirlpool with his hand. He waved his hand against Chi Kunlun, who lost balance and was knocked away by Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen had been using only one hand with the other behind his back. He said, “You would’ve been slapped to death if I used the other hand. You have impressive strength, but you have no idea how to use it correctly, which means you’re fragile in front of a real great being.”
Hearing the word ‘fragile’, Chi Kunln yelled, summoned his saint sword, and performed an unrivaled technique of the Chi family.
“To One Sword Technique.”
The sword Qi turned into a trace of white light, piercing toward Zhang Ruochen’s forehead.
To One Sword Technique was a sword technique created by Emperor Qing when he became a supreme saint. He combined all his comprehension and thousands of techniques into that move. Even Sword Emperor Xue Hongchen said that there was no way to fight against that technique.
However, it was only impossible to fight against when Emperor Qing performed it.
Although Chi Kunlun performed To One Sword Technique, Zhang Ruochen saw several flaws.
Zhang Ruochen grabbed the space in front of him, and a white saint Qi long sword was formed in his hand.
The white saint Qi long sword was nowhere as solid as Chi Kunln’s saint sword, so Zhang Ruochen didn’t clash with his sword directly. Instead, he exploited one of the flaws and used a mysterious sword technique to break it.
Poof!
The saint Qi long sword pierced through the sword Qi level, and the tip of the sword touched Chi Kunlun’s neck.
Chi Kunlun felt that a cold Qi was freezing his entire neck, and his entire body.
“Don’t kill my brother.”
Chi Kongyue kept shifting her position, performing mysterious stepping techniques, and showed up on the right of Zhang Ruochen. She wielded her sword toward Zhang Ruochen. Balls of Divine Fire Jingmie gushed out of her hand, covering the saint sword.
Bang!
Zhang Ruochen’s saint Qi sword was cut in half by her, turning into a cluster of saint Qi.
And then, Chi Kunlun and Chi Kongyue attacked Zhang Ruochen at the same time, forming a sword formation.
“Sword Break Universe.”
“Broken Astral River.”
They cooperated with each other, which boosted their power, forcing Zhang Ruochen to draw back and use his other hand.
The shadows intertwined with each other, and sword Qi permeated.
Chi Kunlun and Chi Kongyue fought more and more fiercely, and the sword formation looked like there was a dragon and a phoenix flying in the sky.
“Distorted Time.”
“Crumbling Space.”
Chi Kunlun performed space power, and Chi Kongyue performed time power, both of which merged with the sword technique, dashing toward Zhang Ruochen.
However, their cultivation was still very low, so they could barely cause any damage in Heaven World even though they used space power and time power.
The flow of time was only slightly distorted, and there was only a tiny crack in the space.
Even so, the sword formation became much more powerful after being strengthened by time power and space power, and one of the space cracks left a small tear in Zhang Ruochen’s clothes.
The Amazing Little Taoist was shocked. It said, “Can’t believe those two kids are so powerful that they can suppress Zhang Ruochen at the same level.”
Blackie chuckled and said, “They’re indeed impressive, but their battle experience and comprehension of saintly way are way behind Zhang Ruochen, who has been through countless battles of life or death. He can easily defeat them, but it seems that Zhang Ruochen’s trying to test their ultimate power, so he hasn’t used his full strength.”
Chi Kunlun and Chi Kongyue performed sword techniques while using the power of time and space, which consumed a lot of saint Qi. Their faces blushed while they kept sweating.
Zhang Ruochen saw that they’d reached their limit, and he stopped holding back and said, “Ending now.”
Ding!
Following a sword noise, the Abyss Ancient Sword flew up into Zhang Ruochen’s hand.
Zhang Ruochen twisted his wrist, and a circular sword Qi flew out, knocking Chi Kunlun and Chi Kongyue away like scarecrows while their saint swords fell onto the ground.
Bang! Bang!
Chi Kunlun and Chi Kongyue fell onto the ground, and there were cracks everywhere on their hands, but those wounds were all on the surface so their veins and bones weren’t injured.
Zhang Ruochen said apathetically, “Since you took ten moves of mine, I won’t kill you today, but you’d better think twice before coming after me for revenge. You only have one life, so cherish it.”
Chi Kunlun and Chi Kongyue stood up, put away the saint sword, and walked out of Moon Goddess dojo.
After leaving Heavenly Capital Saint Market, Chi Kunlun looked very gloomy. He said, “Zhang Ruochen was playing us the whole time. How can he be so powerful? I didn’t even stand a chance against him at the same level. Did the people I fought before all hold back? Was I not as strong as I thought?”
Chi Konglun grabbed Chi Kunlun’s arm and said, “Brother, it’s not because you’re not strong enough, but that Zhang Ruochen’s too powerful. We’re still very young, so we can definitely surpass him in the future.”
Chi Kunlun found it hard to stay calm. He’d never been defeated in his whole life, yet he was crushed by his mortal enemy, and he was crushed mercilessly, which was a huge blow to his state of mind.
A towering being was standing at the top of a hill with his hands behind his back, waiting for them, wearing blue dragon armor.
He was the greatest talent from the Chi family, Chi Wansui, one of the nine heirs.
Chi Wansui had been practicing for almost one hundred years, so he wasn’t young anymore. He looked like he’d been through all the vicissitudes of life, giving out tremendous forces.
That was the power of a real saint king.
“Uncle.”
Both Chi Kunlun and Chi Kongyue cupped their hands and saluted him.
Chi Wansui shot them a glance and asked, “Have you guys fought Zhang Ruochen?”
“Yes,” Chi Kunlun answered while grinding his teeth.
“How did that end?” asked Chi Wansui.
Chi Kunlun ground his teeth harder, not saying a word.
Chi Wansui knew that they’d failed, so he exclaimed, “Even you two aren’t Zhang Ruochen’s match. How powerful is he now?”
Chi Kongyue looked very confused. She said, “I don’t understand, uncle. Why did you ask us to kill him given how powerful he is? And how did you know that he’d agree to suppress his cultivation to fight us? What if he didn’t consent to doing that? Also, what does Zhang Ruochen really look like?”
Chi Wansui stared at Chi Kongle and said, “You guys have Lord Emperor Wen’s Saint Figure Rune, which means Zhang Ruochen can’t stop you from getting away, and besides, it’s your moral responsibility to avenge the fallen seniors from the Chi family. No need to ask so many questions.”
“But...” said Chi Kongyue.
“No buts. Empress and I won’t lie to you. Zhang Ruochen is a dreg from the former dynasty and your mortal enemy. You should do everything in your power to kill him,” said Chi Wansui solemnly.
Chi Kongyue stopped asking, but her questions hadn’t been answered.
She suspected that Zhang Ruochen didn’t use any transformation technique and that was his real face, but if that was so, how come she looked so similar to Zhang Ruochen?
“Head back to the dojo. Keep practicing comprehending the Rules of Truth so that you can cross the first level of the Ocean of Truth as soon as possible,” said Chi Wansui.
After Chi Kongyue and Chi Kunlun left, Chi Wansui looked around and said, “Come out! I know you’re near.”
Zhang Ruochen’s voice stretched from the space close to Chi Wansui. “Why aren’t you running since you know I’m here?”
“Why should I? I’ve been practicing in seclusion for almost a hundred years to avenge what happened in Lingxiao Heavenly King Mansion.” Chi Wansui summoned a Kylin Long Spear, holding it in his hand and glowing with golden light.
Zhang Ruochen asked, “Did you ask them to kill me in Moon Goddess Dojo?”
“That’s right,” said Chi Wansui.
“Even though we were enemies, I respected you for being an honest and impartial person, but you’re dead wrong this time.”
A long and vast river was formed above, making deafening water sounds. The saint Qi in this place gathered toward the river, merging with it.
Boom!
A fist print as long as a hill and a river that was dozens of miles long dived at the same time.
Chi Wansui activated the inscriptions on the Kylin Long Spear, activating its Four Yao Complete Power and wielding it upward.
After one hundred years of practice, Chi Wansui had become a fifth-step saint king.
Suddenly, the power of the fist print surged, which exceeded Chi Wansui’s limits and knocked him underground.
Zhang Ruochen showed up and picked Chi Wansui up, throwing him away.
And then, Zhang Ruochen beat Chi Wansui with his fists, making him bleed like hell, after which Chi Wansui lay on the ground, weak.
Bang!
Zhang Ruochen trampled him underfoot and said, “You’d better come after me yourself if you want revenge. You deserve to die after using two innocent children to do your bidding.’
Chi Wansui was very upset, but he was laughing, “After one hundred years of refining, I’m still so vulnerable in front of you. Zhang Ruochen, I don’t know whether I should admire or pity you. They’re your own children, yet they’re treating you like a foe. Pathetic, how pathetic.”
Poof!
Zhang Ruochen summoned the Abyss Ancient Sword and pierced through Chi Wansui’s heart, nailing him to the ground to question him. “Tell me, how do you want to die?”
Chi Wansui kept shaking because of the pain. His face paled and the saint blood kept gushing out along the Abyss Ancient Sword, making the mud red.
“Spare him.”
Two human beings flew from afar, forming two fragmented and trailing shadows.
Suddenly, the two shadows flew in front of Zhang Ruochen, forming the shapes of Nine Heavenly Maiden and Qing Xiao.
