BXBX NOVEL Chapter 2466 - Battling Lord Ironclad
Chapter 2466: Battling Lord Ironclad
Perhaps, Wargod Bloodximius was looking forward to seeing the furious look of Huang Tian.
Zhang Ruochen would not do such a reckless thing to fight with Lord Ironclad who was at the peak of Banshi Isshou Realm.
He had a clear understanding of his own strength. He would not be as arrogant and condescending as Bai Qing’er.
If a person lost his self-awareness, he would often become self-involved.
If they self-indulgent too much, no matter how smart they were, they would die miserably.
Zhang Ruochen had fought against a Banshi Isshou Realm Supreme Saint before. Back on Mount Destiny, Commander Cerberus had only used Precept Domain to suppress him. Yet he had to mobilize the power of Qiankun to withstand it.
Therefore, Zhang Ruochen knew very well that with his current cultivation, he wouldn’t be able to win even if he fought against a Banshi Isshou Realm Supreme Saint, let alone a Supreme Saint at the peak of Banshi Isshou Realm.
Hundred-Shackle Realm and Thousand-Koan Realm is a great span of realm.
Thousand-Koan Realm and Banshi Isshou Realm, is another big realm span.
At that time, when Zhang Ruochen and Yan Wushen battled, he did burst out the power close to a Paramount Realm Supreme Saint. However, that was only possible when he himself was almost killed.
Zhang Ruochen would never want to do it again.
......
What If luck wasn’t on his side this time?
Lord Ironclad was different. He was a Supreme Saint at the peak of Banshi Isshou Realm. Every strike could reach the strongest strength below Paramount Realm.
This was a battle he can’t win. Zhang Ruochen knew it, and so did Bai Qing’er.
However, Zhang Ruochen agreed to the bet.
Bai Qing’er was surprised. She said, “Master Ruochen is very confident in yourself. You are indeed the descendant of Wargod Bloodximius.”
“I’m not confident in myself. I just want to marry Miss Bai as a concubine. This is what Wargod wants me to do. Thus, I have to fight for it,” Zhang Ruochen said with a smile.
The real reason why Zhang Ruochen agreed to the bet was that he wanted to stall for time.
As for marrying Bai Qing’er?
Even if she offered to marry him, Zhang Ruochen would stay away from her.
Some women could not be touched.
Bai Qing’er smiled and walked to the stone table. She walked past Lord Ironclad. She waved her jade-like fingers and said, “You have to give Master Ruochen a chance to win. How about this, you use 10% of your power.”
“I will seal 90% of my cultivation,”
Lord Ironclad formed a fingerprint and pressed the nine acupoints in his body. Instantly, most of the Precepts in his body seemed to freeze. They lost their vitality and dimmed.
Even so, the number of Precepts he could use was more than 10 times Zhang Ruochen’s 13 billion Precepts.
Zhang Ruochen glanced at Bai Qing’er. Seeing that she didn’t want to take a blood oath, he was even more sure of his guess.
She didn’t care about the so-called bet at all. There were only two purposes for Lord Ironclad to make a move.
The first was to make Zhang Ruochen lower his guard in the name of battle and look for an opportunity to capture or kill him instantly.
The second was to use Lord Ironclad to find out the secret of Zhang Ruochen’s cultivation.
She knew very well that there were some secrets that even if she captured Zhang Ruochen, she would not be able to get them out. However, when she forced Zhang Ruochen into a life-and-death situation, he would expose himself.
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes changed. Suddenly, he said, “No, this place is too narrow. How can I freely display my talents? Why don’t we change the battlefield to the void space outside Hoth?”
“There’s no need to go through so much trouble. I’ll open up a battlefield for you.”
Bai Qing’er sat at the stone table and spilled the half-drunk tea.
The water dripped onto the ground.
A drop of water turned into a lake.
There were 50 lakes in the garden, which corresponded to the number of Dayan.
The heaven and earth under Zhang Ruochen’s feet unwittingly expanded and turned boundless. The 50 lakes rippled with green waves for thousand miles. The tea was fragrant.
Beans turned into soldiers, and water turned into lakes.
“Miss, you didn’t have to go through so much trouble. I only need to activate my Precept Domain to trap him to death.”
Lord Ironclad stared at Zhang Ruochen provocatively. Hundred billions of Precepts surged out of his body and condensed into a Precept Domain. In an instant, an ancient, dark, and bloody battlefield appeared.
In this Precept Domain battlefield, there were dilapidated cities, mountains burning with beacon fire, Nether flags fluttering in the wind, and corpses and bones all over the ground.
The moment the Precept Domain battlefield enveloped Zhang Ruochen, Zhang Ruochen sensed that the power was even more terrifying than the suppression of the nine Ghost Cities of Commander Cerberus. There seemed to be countless Precepts between heaven and earth that wanted to invade his body and corrode his flesh and blood.
Even though Lord Ironclad sealed 90% of his cultivation, he was still better than Commander Cerberus.
Almost in an instant, Zhang Ruochen borrowed the power of Qiankun to break the Precept Domain Precepts that were suppressing on his body. A ray of Light of Merit appeared on his body.
Meritorious Armor of Flowing Light was put on his body.
Swoosh!
He retreated rapidly and crossed dozens of miles in an instant.
Boom!
The spot where Zhang Ruochen had been standing just now was shattered by the blast of battle Qi from Lord Ironclad’s mouth.
In this area, numerous locks, Supreme Saint inscriptions, and Divine Marks appeared. They resolved the aftermath of the battle and could not affect a wider area.
Shang Yue let out a soft cry. “It’s the strongest Meritorious Armor at 10,000 times the speed of sound. Zhang Ruochen has such a strange treasure.”
“What’s so strange about it? In Kunlun’s field, Zhang Ruochen has killed countless elites of Celestial Court. The treasure he obtained is by far more than Million Mach Meritorious Armor.” Shang Xia stared at Zhang Ruochen on the battlefield, her eyes flashed as if she was looking at a human-shaped treasure trove.
Shang Yue said, “Master, I’m curious. Zhang Ruochen is only in Hundred-Shackle Realm. Why don’t you take him down? With master’s cultivation, if you can turn water into a lake, then Zhang Ruochen and Lord Ironclad are just toys in your cup.”
Bai Qing’er didn’t answer. Her almond-shaped eyes stared at the battlefield where the two fought.
Shang Xia’s eyes were cold, he said, “Shang Yue, you underestimate Zhang Ruochen too much! Although he’s only in Hundred-Shackle Realm, he has Xue Jue Family backing him up. How could Wargod Bloodximius and Blood Empress not give him life-saving means? Zhang Ruochen dared to break into Ji Feng Manor alone, it means that he has the confidence to leave.”
Shang Yue was disdainful and said, “With master’s cultivation, even if Zhang Ruochen has life-saving means, it’s not worth mentioning. Unless the real forms of Wargod Bloodximius and Blood Empress came. Yet, it’s a pity that the two of them have already gone to Jadeite Realm.”
Shang Xia said, “If Zhang Ruochen was so easy to capture, he would have died long ago. It’s impossible for him to live until now. Lord Ironclad should be able to force out his secret.”
Powerful figures walked out of the fog in the garden. Some were old women with white hair, some were spirits with ghostly Qi, and there was a mysterious Supreme Saint whose aura was no weaker than Lord Ironclad.
Without exception, all of them had a high cultivation base. One breath of them could be turned into clouds. Their power was powerful and overbearing.
Who would have thought that there were so many Supreme Saints hidden in such a small manor? Even an ancient race could not compare.
An old woman with a face full of wrinkles, her voice was hoarse. “Miss, what are you trying to test? Why haven’t you made your move yet? Could it be that you believe that Zhang Ruochen had the ability to defeat Lord Ironclad? Even if Lord Ironclad only used 10% of his cultivation, he could not be defeated by a Hundred-Shackle Realm Supreme Saint.”
Although the old woman’s figure was old and somewhat rotten, her eyes were still bright. There were the sun, moon, and stars revolving in her eyes, forming a mysterious trajectory.
The mysterious Supreme Saint in white said, “Zhang Ruochen has 0.003% of Canon of Destiny. If you kill him and absorb his Canon, your strength will definitely improve.”
“I think Zhang Ruochen has not only Canon of Destiny, but also Canon of Truth.” a sinister voice came from the ghost fire.
Bai Qing’er, who had been silent, finally spoke, “You are all too shallow. What you see is only the surface. What I want to understand is the most fundamental mystery of Zhang Ruochen. It is not normal for him to cultivate Grade Two Saintwill so easily. Even when Wargod Bloodsximius and Huang Tian cultivated Grade Two Saintwill, it is not as easy as he did.
“Besides, I have a few questions. Why is Zhang Ruochen’s recovery so fast?
“If he is not a disciple of Fane of Truth, how can he cultivate Shoreless Star Ocean of the Realm-frame of Truth? What did he gain after crossing the tenth level of Sea of Truth?
“These secrets will only be revealed when he’s forced to the brink of death. We can’t force him to answer by capturing him.”
After saying these words, Bai Qing’er’s voice entered the battlefield, it sounded in the sky above the battlefield. “Zhang Ruochen, if you defeat the 10% Lord Ironclad, our bet will still be valid. If you want to leave, I won’t force you to stay.”
On the battlefield.
Lord Ironclad had struck out 137 times in a row. However, Zhang Ruochen dodged each time with his speed.
Lord Ironclad was extremely angry. He had clearly suppressed Zhang Ruochen in the Precept Domain. If it had been any other Banshi Isshou Realm Supreme Saint, they would have been at his mercy and had nowhere to run. However, Zhang Ruochen had Million Mach Meritorious Armor. The Precept Domain couldn’t suppress him.
“You only know how to run. Do you still want to win?” Lord Ironclad asked in a low voice.
Zhang Ruochen landed in the center of a lake. Standing on the water, his body shone with light. “You’re a Supreme Saint at the peak of Banshi Isshou Realm. I’m just a minor character in Hundred-Shackle Realm. Why can’t I run?”
Zhang Ruochen hadn’t thought about fighting. He put on the armor to stall for time.
“Good! In that case, I’ll let you have no way to escape.”
Lord Ironclad’s eyes turned cold. In the Precept Domain battlefield, the Precepts emerged and twisted with each other, turning into hundreds of millions of chains.
Crash.
The Precept chains approached from afar, shrinking the range of their coverage.
Zhang Ruochen waved his hand, creating a Dimensional Rift, and struck the Precept chain net.
The Precept chain net broke a huge hole, but the hole was closed in an instant.
Zhang Ruochen frowned. Lord Ironclad didn’t use his Precept Domain to suppress him. Instead, he turned Precepts into a cage to imprison him. This would force him to fight head-on.
“Why isn’t that demoness here yet?”
Zhang Ruochen was speechless. He didn’t want to reveal his strength. He only hoped that his enemy would always look down on him.
There was nothing he could do. He could only fight.
Lord Ironclad summoned a bone spear. Divine Marks interweaved on the bone spear. It was obviously made of divine bone. With a wave of his hand, the bone spear surged with Death Qi. It turned into a cloud of death that covered the entire cage.
Zhang Ruochen stood on the surface of the lake. He remained calm. Borrowing the power of Qiankun, he fused it into Divine Dragonbone Whip.
Crack
The Divine Dragonbone Whip lashed out, and an earth-shattering dragon roar sounded.
On the whip, dense Supreme Inscriptions and Regal Inscription appeared at the same time. They exploded with incomparable power, shattering the cloud of death. It was as if the sky had been torn into two.
Lord Ironclad’s expression changed slightly. He waved his bone spear and clashed with Divine Dragonbone Whip. He retreated.
The aftershock of the battle caused waves to rise in the 50 lakes.
The powerful figures in the garden, including Bai Qing’er’s two disciples — Shang Yue and Shang Xia — were all shocked.
Zhang Ruochen had defeated Lord Ironclad!
It was unbelievable.
They had never seen the battle between Zhang Ruochen and Yan Wushen. Of course, they did not believe the exaggerated rumors. However, they could not deny the fact that it had happened right in front of their eyes.
“Is a Yuanhui-level genius really so terrifying? A Hundred-Shackle Realm elite can fight against a Banshi Isshou Realm elite?”
A smile appeared on Bai Qing’er’s pretty face. She said, “At least it proves that the rumors about Zhang Ruochen carrying a macroworld in his body are true.”
“That’s right. As long as he borrows the power of Qiankun, Zhang Ruochen can be so strong.”
“Even if Zhang Ruochen has the Demigod-level physique, he can’t carry a macroworld,” Shang Yue said.
Shang Xia shook his head, “You’ve all forgotten that Zhang Ruochen has another important identity. He’s the Scion of Time and Space, the descendant of Saint Monk Xumi. If he has the Canon of Truth, it’s possible for him to carry a macroworld.”
Gasps sounded in the garden.
A Supreme Saint could contain the three Path of the Ancients’ Canon.
Countless pairs of eyes were burning like fire. They couldn’t wait to break into the battlefield and tear Zhang Ruochen into pieces to take the Canons of his body.
Shang Yue’s charming face was extremely moved. She said excitedly, “Zhang Ruochen is full of treasure. If he falls, all of us will get the benefits.”
“Kill Zhang Ruochen and take the Canons.”
“Kill Zhang Ruochen and take the Supreme Artifacts.”
“Kill Zhang Ruochen and take the Godstones.”
...
Except for Bai Qing’er who was still calm, all the cultivators in the garden went crazy.
