Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

Under the intense clash, the weapon spirits of the Lintian Spear and Great Ax were torn apart by the electric currents. They let out mournful cries and curled back within the weapons.

Marquis Tiange and Biayun were surprised. They quickly grabbed their weapons and fended off the flood of electric currents.

Suddenly, Zhang Ruochen rushed out of the electric flood. Wielding the Abyss Ancient Sword, he struck a dozen times, forcing the two first marquises back continuously. They could only defend passively and were very pathetic.

“Lay down.”

Zhang Ruochen raised the Abyss Ancient Sword with one hand. Dense runes appeared within the sword. It shone with inky black light.

At the same time, electric chains fell down from the heavens, connecting with the sword tip.

Zhang Ruochen cut down, splitting the weapons in the hands of Marquis Baiyun and Tiange. Electricity and Swod Qi fell upon them, striking them. They flew horizontally and fell heavily on the ground.

However, Marquis Baiyun and Tiange had very powerful protective treasures. They actually stopped the Abyss Ancient Sword’s destructive power and saved them.

“What kind of weapon can be this powerful?”

Marquis Tiange’s organs seemed to have all been ripped apart, burning with pain. He lay on the ground and looked at his broken spear with shock.

Marquis Baiyun was covered in sword injuries. Blood flowed out. Fortunately, he was physically strong and able to hold on.

The other first marquises all had expressions of disbelief. They had to be more serious before this human enemy.

Right now, Zhang Ruochen was like a war god radiating with a bloody aura. He was very strong and looked down on the group of Luosha marquises. “Can’t even take a hit.”

This was too arrogant. All of the first marquises were infuriated.

“Looking for death!”

“I will break your hands and feet and imprison you for eternity. I’ll cut off a piece of your flesh every day, making you wish for life or death but getting neither.”

Marqis Chengxuan took out a scroll and opened it before Zhang Ruochen. A blazing sun and a beast in chains was drawn on the scroll.

As evil Qi surged into the scroll, the furnace-like sun rushed out of the paper. It hovered above the temple.

Zhang Ruochen raised his head to look at the sun. He could feel the aggressive power contained in the sun. If it fell down, even he wouldn’t be able to fend it off.

Roar!

A deafening beast’s roar sounded. Even the air trembled.

The beast inside the scroll walked out slowly. It was dozens of feet tall and chains were wrapped around it. Each step it took, it would produce clanks.

Judging from the beast’s aura, Zhang Ruochen could tell that it was like an eighth level beast. In other words, it was able to fight with a human Saint King.

Clearly, Marquis Chengxuan was even stronger than Baiyun and Tiange. He was definitely one of the stronger first marquises.

The Saint Lady looked at the beast walking out of the scroll. Her expression changed. “Nine first marquises. Each of them is able to fight with a Saint King. Even if you have the Supreme Complete Body Constitution, you still can’t defeat them all. This has nothing to do with you. Hurry and leave.”

“Leave with me,” Zhang Ruochen said.

The Saint Lady shook her head. A wry smile appeared in her eyes. “You should know that I would never leave with you.”

Zhang Ruochen looked at the other captured maidens. He knew that if the Saint Lady abandoned them and escaped alone, she would never recover from the trauma. i????????r????????????． ????????m

Death was terrifying.

But living as if you were death was even more terrifying.

Martial Saint Canglan’s voice came from the distance. “Zhang Ruochen, I’ve never begged anyone in my life. Today, I’m begging you to kill me.”

“Okay, I’ll help you.”

Grasping the sword with both hands, immense sword intent burst from Zhang Ruochen. The next moment, he became one with the sword. Transforming into a long streak of light, he crashed toward Martial Saint Canglan.

“That is the lord’s beautiful pet. You can’t kill her just because you want to.”

Marquis Chengxuan controlled the hovering sun and slammed it down at Zhang Ruochen. It clashed with the long streak of sword light.

Zhang Ruochen activated 30 protective scrolls. At the same time, he controlled the Abyss Ancient Sword and stabbed the sun. He cut down at Marquis Chengxuan who was standing behind the sun.

The three first marquises—Baiyun, Tiange, and Xiebai—attacked Zhang Ruochen from different directions.

“Reverse the World.”

Marquis Baiyun settled into horse stance and pushed his hands up. A huge white ball of light appeared above his head.

As the ball of light spun rapidly, the world in the temple seemed to spin too.

“Thousand-calamity Finger.”

Marquis Tiange extended a finger and activated the Rules of Sharpness. It converged at his fingertip and a three-meter-long finger force flew out.

Marquis Xiebai held a bone shield. It was made out of Supreme Saint bones. Once evil Qi entered it, it could activate a shred of a Supreme Saint’s power.

Marquis Chengxuan controlled the beast and attacked Zhang Ruochen as well.

Four first marquises worked together and finally stopped Zhang Ruochen. He was forced to pull back. Otherwise, he would die even if he could kill Martial Saint Canglan.

Zhang Ruochen grabbed in the air. He wanted to activate spatial power but realized that the space here was locked.

In the distance, Lord Lingquan held a strangely shaped purple stone. It shone with slivers of divine light. It sealed the space like a sacred purple mountain.

“Even if you cultivate the Ancient Ways, you still aren’t undefeatable. There is always something in the world that can restrict you.” Lord Lingquan chuckled.

“Really?”

Zhang Ruochen drew lines in the air and formed a time print. Flicking his finger, the time print flew out, landing on Lord Lingquan.

“What is that?”

Lord Lingquan activated the purple stone but still couldn’t stop the time print. He searched inside and discovered that he’d lost a lot of vitality and at least a dozen years of his life.

His expression was very cold. “Be careful!” he roared. “This man can also control time.”

Zhang Ruochen activated the second level of the Hundred Saints Blood Armor. One hundred middle Saints appeared.

Boom!

He cut down with a sword.

Marquis Xiebai with the Supreme Saint bone shield was sent to his knees. He let out a muffled grunt.

Just as Zhang Ruochen prepared a second strike to severely injure Marquis Xiebai, Marquis Tiange cast a saint spell. He flew out from the back. Zhang Ruochen was forced to meet him, waving his sword and slicing the spell.

The fight was incredibly intense.

Zhang Ruochen combated four first marquises by himself. He seemed to have limitless power. Even though he was sometimes close to getting hit, he generally had the upper hand.

The first marquises who weren’t fighting all felt stunned.

This human’s combat abilities were too messed up. After all, even people like Lord Lingquan might not be able to fight four first marquises simultaneously.

Lord Lingquan finally understood why the princess valued Zhang Ruochen so much. This guy was quite impressive.

As long as he was alive, he would pose a great threat.

At that moment, Lord Lingquan changed his mind. “All marquises, attack and kill him,” he ordered.

Other than Marquise Xianling who was holding down Chu Siyuan, the four other first marquises all tossed down the chains in their hands. They attacked Zhang Ruochen.

To them, the maidens weren’t threats. Zhang Ruochen was the truly terrifying figure.

The Saint Lady snatched this chance. She put her pale hands together and released seven saint soul bodies. They rushed in seven directions and grabbed the seven chained maidens, bringing them back.

At the same time, Qing Mo rushed down the steps and appeared behind the Saint Lady. The Nine Heavenly Maidens were reunited, forming a beautiful scene.

Lord Lingquan glanced at them and his lips curled. Disdain filled his eyes. “So what if you rescue them? You think you can escape from me?”

The Saint Lady’s eyelashes curled up. Opening her red lips, she said, “The Nine Heavenly Maidens are connected by blood and Holy Qi. We become one.”

Suddenly, the Saint Lady, Martial Saint Canglan, Qing Mo, Goddess Siming... All of them shone with brilliant sacred light. Their mysterious apertures opened everywhere and thousands of shreds of light poured out, weaving their powers together.

A white cloud appeared above the Saint Lady. Words were printed onto it.

A red cloud appeared above Martial Saint Canglan. A blazing sun shone from the sky.

A green cloud appeared above Qing Mo. Sunlight shone down, transforming into peculiar clouds.

...

The Nine Heavenly Maidens all cultivated different techniques, but each one was strangely connected.

One person had a piece of the haven.

Nine people, nine heavens.

At this moment, the nine heavens were combined into one. Then the Nine Heavenly Maidens actually combined too. They transformed into one beautiful maiden.

Lord Lingquan was stunned when he saw this too. Nine women combining into one was too strange.

What exactly did they cultivate?

No longer hesitating, Lord Lingquan clenched his fist and punched forward. The fist print enlarged dramatically. It was like a meteorite in the universe and crushed toward the glowing Nine Heavenly Maiden.

Whoosh!

The Nine Heavenly Maiden extended a milky hand. Clutching the Confucius Saint Book, she pressed down. Instantly, billions of words flew out and rained down on Lord Lingquan, sending him flying back.
