God Emperor

Chapter 524: The Weak Overcame the Strong

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

Xu Konglin and Xu Chen were Elders of Saint Xu Gentry. Both of them held great power and high status. However, their weapons were still only eleventh level Genuine Martial Arms.

An eleventh-level Genuine Martial Arm was a great fighter. Its value exceeded a million Spiritual Crystals. Countless warriors in the Fish-dragon Realm would loot it when it appeared.

However, how could an eleventh-level Genuine Martial Arm compare with a Holy Weapon?

If an ordinary Monk in the Fish-dragon Realm held a Holy Weapon, he could cross a realm to kill his enemy. He could even cross two realms to defeat his opponent.

If Xu Konglin and Xu Chen could get a Holy Weapon, their strength would certainly be elevated to a new height. In the future, they would have even greater power in Saint Xu Gentry.

We must kill Zhang Ruochen even if it’s only for a Holy Weapon!

SHUAH!

SHUAH!

Xu Konglin and Xu Chen jumped off the ship and landed on the water. They attacked Zhang Ruochen from both sides at the same time.

Xu Konglin’s cultivation was in the Third Change of the Fish-dragon Realm. However, his strength had reached the Peak of the Third Change in the Fish-dragon Realm. He had more than double the cultivation of Xu Qianling, who had been killed by Zhang Ruochen.

In the interior Martial Arts Tournament of Saint Xu Gentry, Xu Konglin had only used seven strokes to make Xu Qianling vomit blood.

Both Xu Konglin and Xu Qianling were in the Third Change of the Fish-dragon Realm, but their strengths were not at a same level.

The other Elder, Xu Chen, had more terrifying cultivation. He had already broken through Bone Refining to Jade, the Third Change in the Fish-dragon Realm and reached Yinqiao Holy Meridian, the Fourth Change in the Fish-dragon Realm.

Although the Fourth Change in the Fish-dragon Realm was only a realm above the Third Change, the strength between warriors in the two realms was quite different.

Even if Xu Konglin and Xu Qianling attacked Xu Chen together, he could defeat them within three moves.

Xu Chen was stronger and Xu Konglin was weaker, so they took to a tactic of attacking and provoking Zhang Rouchen.

Xu Chen confronted him directly, while Xu Konglin, who was weaker, stood in the distance and shot flying knives at him.

Xu Chen was indeed strong. Even though Zhang Ruochen had his Martial Soul, he was still suppressed and had no power to fight back. He could only continue to retreat. He dared not meet Xu Chen headed on.

Xu Chen was more than 70 years old and he was a figure of the older generation of Saint Xu Gentry. He had also been a powerful genius when he was young.

He held a Cracking-tiger Broadsword, an eleventh level Genuine Martial Arm. His broadsword technique was very skillful. A casual attack from the 1,500 kilogram broadsword burst out a power strong enough to crack the cliffs.

Xu Chen’s long hair flew in the air. His infinite strength was suppressing Zhang Ruochen.

BOOM!

BOOM!

...

Every sword strike Chen displayed contained bitter cold Icing air.

He struck the ninth movement. The surrounding sea area froze into thick ice for dozens of kilometers.

“Zhang Ruochen, I have already opened my Yinqiao holy meridian. I can turn Genuine Qi into Holy Qi and use martial techniques at their strongest power. Why try to fight with me? Give up! You don’t stand a chance!” Xu Chen said with a sneer. ????n????????ℯ????d.＆nbsp;????o????

His broadsword sliced toward Zhang Ruochen. The cold sharp knife energy sped past his neck, shaving off a lock of hair.

It just barely missed his neck.

Zhang Ruochen stamped his feet. He quickly retreated backwards, landing three kilometers away. He stopped and stabilized his stature. He was ready to fight back.

SHUAH!

In the distance, Xu Konglin saw the opportunity before him. He held a Bronze Flying Knife between his index and middle finger. He flung it out towards Zhang Ruochen.

The Bronze Flying Knife was a sixth-level Genuine Martial Arm. Under the mobilization of Xu Konglin’s Genuine Qi, inscriptions in the flying knife were activated, emitting a ball of flame that was two meters in diameter.

The knife rotated rapidly. Dragging a long flame tail behind it, it flew at a speed that was four times the speed velocity.

It shook the air violently and sent out loud thunderous roars.

The speed of the flying knife was much faster than the speed of sound. It broke through the Celestial Bodyshield and was about to reach Zhang Ruochen’s back. It was going to pierce through his body.

But Zhang Rouchen seemed to have eyes in the back of his head. He waved his sword backwards and it collided with the flying knife.

With a clash, the flying knife split into two pieces. The two parts shot out and dropped into the water with a splash.

The flying knife had a flame, so when it fell into the water, the seawater began to boil.

SHUAH!

Xu Konglin’s fingers quickly catapulted. He shot out the second flying knife, then the third and the fourth... Each fiying knife shot out at a speed four times the speed of sound and was aimed at Zhang Rouchen’s vital parts.

Zhang Ruochen’s sword technique was skillful. The flying knives could not hurt him at all. However, they did interfere. He could not concentrate on dealing with Xu Chen’s powerful attack.

When masters fought, they could not be distracted. If one was careless, he could be doomed.

Zhang Ruochen’s opponent was Xu Chen, a warrior in the Fourth Change of the Fish-dragon Realm and a top master. Zhang Ruochen felt great pressure.

Xu Konglin pestered from a distance. He wanted to distract Zhang Ruochen so Xu Chen would have as many opportunities as possible to kill him.

Xu Konglin and Xu Chen were both very smart. They worked together seamlessly.

Zhang Ruochen adopted a relatively conservative tactic. He was prepared to kill the weaker Xu Konglin first and slowly deal with the stronger Xu Chen afterward.

Zhang Ruochen ignored Xu Chen. He displayed the Shadow of the Royal Wind Dragon to stimulate his speed to the extreme and charged toward Xu Konglin.

“Want to kill me?”

The corner of Xu Konglin’s mouth twitched up. A smirk appeared on his face.

He did not face up to Zhang Ruochen. He quickly turned around and raced away. There was already a distance of 33 meters between him and Zhang Ruochen.

He was only there to be a distraction, it was not necessary for him to engage in actual combat. If Zhang Ruochen displayed his unique sword technique, Swift and Neat, he would not be able to offend against it.

The movement Xu Konglin was displaying was Roc Flying with Double Wings, one of Saint Xu Gentry’s unique techniques.

Roc Flying with Double Wings was an Inferior Class Ghost Level martial technique.

A Monk could only practice Ghost Level bodily movements when he reached the Fish-dragon Realm. Only the Genuine Qi of a Monk in the Fish-dragon Realm could support the consumption of a Ghost Level bodily movement.

So even though Zhang Ruochen had reached the Peak of the Heaven Realm, he could still only display Superior class Spiritual Stage bodily movements.

Xu Konglin injected Genuine Qi into his back Meridians. With a loud thud, the illusory image of huge roc wings appeared on his back. His speed immediately increased several times, leaving Zhang Ruochen far behind.

He flew out over the sea, leaving behind a deep path that divided the sea in two.

Xu Konglin was very happy to see Zhang Rouchen further and further behind him. He felt like they were playing a game of cat and mouse.

Xu Konglin paused slightly and said with a smile, “Zhang Ruochen, even if your sword technique is great, you can only threaten me within 10 meters. Unfortunately for you, you can’t get that close. The bodily movement I practice is from the Inferior Class of Ghost Level; what you practice is only from the Superior Class of Spiritual Stage. There’s no comparison at all. You are far slower.”

“Really?” Zhang Ruochen said.

Xu Konglin grinned and said thoughtfully, “Don’t struggle too much. In my opinion, you are like a turtle in a jar. If you give up now, perhaps you can still have a whole corpse.”

Zhang Ruochen was calm, he did not lose his temper.

He quickly pursued and soon reached a position 60 meters away from Xu Konglin. He secretly operated his Genuine Qi and injected it into the Dragon Lock Chain on his wrist.

The surface of Dragon Lock Chain sent out filaments of lightning that flew out from Zhang Ruochen’s wrist and turned into a thick iron rope. The rope spun on the sea and sped toward Xu Konglin in the distance.

“That’s... the Orange Star Emissary’s Holy Weapon... Dragon Lock Chain...”

Xu Konglin’s face changed. He displayed the Roc Flying with Double Wings again and took off with an intention of escaping.

However, it was too late.

SWOOSH!

The Dragon Lock Chain wrapped around Xu Konglin’s waist round and round. Strikes of lightning rushed out of the chain, like knives, hitting him and made crackling sounds.

Zhang Ruochen controlled the Dragon Lock Chain. With a shake of his arm, Xu Konglin spun and twisted in agony.

He screamed in terror.

His whole body was struck by the Dragon Lock Chain’s lightning fire. His clothes and hair all turned black. His skin cracked and blood flowed out. It was like his whole body had been thrown into a stove and roasted. Black smoke wafted out from his crispy corpse.

POOF!

Under Zhang Ruochen’s control, the Abyss Ancient Sword flew out and smashed Xu Konglin’s charred body, leaving a huge blood hole in his chest.

Blood gushed out.

An Elder in the Fish-dragon Realm had just been killed under Zhang Ruochen’s sword.

Xu Chen had followed them. He saw the scene before him and his old face distorted. He roared angrily, “Bloke, you are courting death!”

He jumped up and held the hilt of his sword with both hands. He waved it toward Zhang Ruochen.

“Perfect timing!”

A twinkle of amusement appeared in Zhang Ruochen’s eyes. He took out the Auspicious Vase from his Storage Ring and held it in his hand. All the Genuine Qi in his body flowed into the vase.
