God Emperor

Chapter 1318: Kill To Escape

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

“It’s not that easy to kill me.”

Blood Saint Sijian’s eyes were extremely firm. He raised the four saint swords at the same time and stabbed them into four important places.

Poof.

Saintly blood flowed out along the sword blades. This secret spell could stimulate the physical body, activating the hidden power in his blood. Using this secret spell couldn’t help Blood Saint Sijian return to his full potential, but he could recover his Holy Qi. He wouldn’t be powerless against the enemies.

Blood Saint Sijian’s eyes were filled with fury. He stood up again and rushed down, pushing both palms out. Bloody light burst out from two palm prints, accompanied by deafening wind and thunder.

Gu Songzi’s expression faltered. He hurriedly activated his Spiritual Power and drew nine flaming circles.

Boom, boom.

The flaming rings shattered completely. Gu Songzi was thrown from the hovering island.

On the other end, Martial Saint Canglan and the six Saintesses had inhaled the poison and become very weak.

However, Martial Saint Canglan had a hidden card too. She took out a rune scroll and pressed it on her left wrist. Light shone from the scroll, enveloping her body, helping her recover some strength.

With her current state, she couldn’t continue to fight for the Thousand-leaf Saint Heart Grass. She didn’t dare to stay on the island anymore either.

Using the scroll’s power, she picked up the six Saintesses and escaped from the spatial bubble.

Only Blood Saint Sijian and Zhang Ruochen remained on the island.

Blood Saint Sijian had fought Zhang Ruochen more than once, so he was quite familiar with his abilities. He scoffed. “Even if I inhaled poison, you still couldn’t defeat me. If you escape right now, you might be able to stay alive.”

Zhang Ruochen held the Fire Luan Sword with one hand. The other hand was behind his back. He smiled. “Am I that weak to you? You think you can scare me away with one sentence?”

“You won’t feel regret until you die. Four sword slaves, kill him.”

Holy Qi circulated crazily within Blood Saint Sijian. Four figures dressed in blood-red robes flew out of his body. They attacked Zhang Ruochen from different directions.

They were all very powerful. Each one was like a Heaven Pass Saint.

Zhang Ruochen’s eyes darkened. His Holy Qi kept flowing into the Fire Luan Sword.

With a cry, a huge fiery Luan figure flew out of the sword. It turned the entire small world fiery red.

Whoosh, whoosh.

Dense fiery Sword Qi appeared. Some streaked through the sky. Others spun around the hovering island.

Zhang Ruochen’s sword didn’t attack Blood Saint Sijian and the four sword slaves. Instead, he cut down on the spatial bubble’s sky. He uttered, “Break.”

The fire Luan rushed up, carrying thousands of beams of Sword Qi. They connected into a red river of Sword Qi and tore apart the sky.

Boom.

The small world started breaking apart. Various cracks appeared in the spatial level.

The Supreme Saint formation’s power transformed into beams of light and penetrated in. The world collapsed even faster. The defensive barrier outside the island disappeared. The entire island shook violently. Unable to continue hovering, it plummeted.

Below, Blood Saint Miefeng stopped fighting. Gazing at the disintegrating world, he said, “He actually destroyed the world. Is he trying to kill them all?”

The two human Heaven Pass Saints exchanged glances. Each could see the shock in the other’s eyes.

“Crazy! Just crazy!”

After the world collapsed entirely, the space would obviously cave in. Everything in there would die.

The two Heaven Pass Saints used physical techniques and fled quickly. They only had one thought in mind—they must escape from the small world to stay alive.

Martial Saint Canglan escaped from the world. Returning to the medicine garden, she looked back.

The world behind her was covered in cracks. It had become porous and filled with spatial shards. The entire world was shrinking.

The world had only been around 100 miles in diameter. Now, it was only around 70 miles. It would only be a dot in the end.

Blood Saint Sijian’s expression was one of discomfort. Glaring at Zhang Ruochen, he said, “Once the world is shattered, the Thousand-leaf Saint Heart Grass will be destroyed too.”

“So what?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

Blood Saint Sijian really wanted the Thousand-leaf Saint Heart Grass, but he still had reason. He wasn’t at the point of risking his life.

If he still didn’t leave, he would die here.

Seeing how crazy Zhang Ruochen was, Blood Saint Sijian stopped competing with him. He collected the four sword slaves and hurried out of the world.

“Kid, are you crazy? Run!” Gu Songzi yelled at Zhang Ruochen.

Then he stopped focusing on Zhang Ruochen. He released all his Spiritual Power into fire that enveloped his body. He ran crazily, trying as hard as he could to escape.

Zhang Ruochen’s lip curled up. He took out the Mercury Gourd and let it hover above his head. As he poured Holy Qi into it, the gourd grew larger and larger.

“Collect!” he cried out.

The hovering island shook and flew into the gourd. The Thousand-leaf Saint Heart Grass on the island was naturally collected too.

Many cultivators in the medicine garden saw this and were extremely shocked.

A huge gourd, dozens of miles long, could actually collect an entire island. This was unbelievable.

“Mercury Gourd!” the Heaven Pass Saint from the Xinsu Sect exclaimed. “Oh my! There’s actually a second Mercury Gourd in Kunlun’s Field. That’s a treasure even more valuable than the Thousand-leaf Saint Heart Grass.”

The Earth Discipline Gourd of the Xinsu Sect was made out of a Mercury Gourd. Thus, this Heaven Pass Saint was very clear about its value.

The appearance of the Mercury Gourd made all the eyes of the Saints in the medicine garden burn brighter.

The Mercury Gourd shrunk back to the size of one’s palm. It landed in Zhang Ruochen’s hand. He collected it in his spatial ring.

When Zhang Ruochen had prepared to shatter the spatial bubble, he’d told Qing Mo beforehand to leave. Now, he’d collected the Thousand-leaf Saint Heart Grass. He used his fastest technique and rushed out of the breaking world at the last moment.

He looked back. The spatial bubble was only 100 meters wide, 80 meters, 50 meters... Finally, it was a speck of light and disappeared in the garden.

“Leave the Mercury Gourd and I’ll spare your life!”

Blood Saint Miefeng’s eyes were filled with greed. He transformed into a bloody cloud and pounced on Zhang Ruochen.

Both the Mercury Gourd and Thousand-leaf Saint Heart Grass were extreme treasures. Who didn’t want them?

Of all the Saints there, only Blood Saint Miefeng was still at his peak state. It was highly possible that he would be the final winner, so he was very excited.

Zhang Ruochen stood in place. He drew a circle with the Fire Luan Sword. A Luan’s shadow appeared, blocking Blood Saint Miefeng.

“You can’t take a hit.”

Blood Saint Miefeng’s eyes were scornful. He jumped up and punched, shattering the fire Luan.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a silver kitchen knife flew out from behind Zhang Ruochen. It struck Blood Saint Miefeng’s chest, sending the cocky man flying back.

“My aim was accurate, right?”

Holding Zhu Qingyi, Qing Mo walked timidly from Zhang Ruochen. When she saw she’d hit Blood Saint Miefeng, she let out a long sigh.

“Leave this place immediately. I’ll lead, you take care of the back.”

Zhang Ruochen and Qing Mo rushed out, wanting to leave as soon as possible. It wasn’t just the two Heaven Pass Blood Generals. The human Saints would want to attack them too and get the Mercury Gourd and Thousand-leaf Saint Heart Grass.

A dozen saint weapons flew up in all directions, forming a ring of light. They all attacked Zhang Ruochen and Qing Mo simultaneously.

Zhang Ruochen used the Spatial Twist and changed the surrounding spatial structure. The paths of the dozens of saintly weapons went astray. Some hit the ground while some hit other Saints.

After the bitter battle, Zhang Ruochen and Qing Mo finally rushed out of the medicine garden. But before they could take a breath, they suffered a sneak attack.

A human Heaven Pass Saint charged out of the forest like a ghost. He stabbed Zhang Ruochen’s chest with a finger sword.

Poof.

Zhang Ruochen’s chest was stabbed through. The bloody hole passed from his chest to his back. His organs were all injured and he spat out fresh blood.

The human Heaven Pass Saint was none other than the ninth headmaster of the Northern Saint Academy, Qiu Lanshan.

Qiu Lanshan stepped toward Zhang Ruochen, his saintly might getting stronger. “Hand over the Mercury Gourd,” he intoned, “and your conflicts with the Martial City Bank will be forgiven.”

“Are you dreaming?”

Zhang Ruochen braced against the pain in his chest and stood up again. Thick murderous intent surged in his eyes.

“Don’t say I didn’t give you the chance. Since you don’t know what’s good for you, then I’ll send you on your way.”

Qiu Lanshan summoned the Nether Snake Sword and grasped it in his hand.

Strong sword intent combined with the Nether Snake Sword. He instantly entered the Man Sword state. With a whoosh, he transformed into a beam of sword light and stabbed at Zhang Ruochen.

“Spatial Crack.”

Zhang Ruochen couldn’t care about his disguise anymore. He stepped forward and manipulated the power of space. He hacked down and tore apart the space. A crack a dozen meters long opened up like a pitch-black gate of death.

By the time Qiu Lanshan discovered the spatial crack, it was too late to dodge. ????????n????ℯ????????. ????om

“No...”

Qiu Lanshan was swallowed by the spatial crack. He fell into the empty void.

As the spatial crack closed, a Heaven Pass Saint died completely. He disappeared from this world without leaving behind a single thing.

“The space was actually torn apart. What’s going on?”

“Could it be that he’s that Time and Space Descendant? But wasn’t he disabled by King Zhongying? How can he still be able to kill a Heaven Pass Saint?”

“Could there be two Time and Space Descendants in Kunlun’s Field?”

...

The various Saints that had run out of the medicine garden were all stunned by this scene.
