Chapter 790: Kill Three Saints in a Row

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

As the Dragon Eagle Bone Broadsword cut down, sharp wind was created in the sky. It followed the broadsword, sweeping horizontally to Zhang Ruochen’s waist.

Staring at the incoming bone broadsword, Zhang Ruochen remained expressionless. He stomped on the ground and the space shook. The ground seemed to cave in.

Space Domain, Zhang Ruochen thought.

He activated the Space Domain. It spread out quickly and destroyed the Saint Soul Territory of the four Half-Saints. The weight pressing down on him, thousand times what was normal, vanished.

The Space Domain’s power pressed down on the four Half-Saints instead.

Xin Feng, at the very front, definitely didn’t expect such a change. He swore in his mind and retracted the white bone broadsword to retreat. He was stepping on the ground, but somehow, he stepped on air. He plummeted and naturally lost balance as well.

The ground was still the ground from before. However, the spatial structure had changed.

Zhang Ruochen obviously wouldn’t miss this great chance. Manipulating the Holy Qi within him, he quickly stabbed forward, piercing Xin Feng’s physical defense.

Spleuch.

A huge bloody hole opened up on Half-Saint Xin Feng’s chest. One could clearly see that his bones and organs were gravely injured. But Vampires had strong vitalities. Even this kind of injury was not fatal.

“Brother!” Xin Lei and Xin Yun yelled.

Zhang Ruochen was preparing a second attack to completely kill Half-Saint Xin Feng, but he realized that Half-Saint Xin Lei and Xin Yun were charging from two directions.

He was forced to give up on Half-Saint Xin Feng for now. He put away the Abyss Ancient Sword and went to meet Xin Lei and Xin Yun.

“Thundersword Skill!” Half-Saint Xin Lei activated a superior-class Ghost Level martial technique. His hands were covered in lightning. Raising them over his head, he gathered the lightning and punched down powerfully.

The lightning in his hands flooded out, transforming into a huge seven-meter-long sword. It came down upon Zhang Ruochen’s head. The might from a Half-Saint’s full-force attack couldn’t be overlooked.

“Sword Two.”

But instead of dodging, Zhang Ruochen brandished the Abyss Ancient Sword and drew a ring of Sword Qi. One could vaguely see that the ring was black and white. It spun rapidly.

Kaboom.

The huge lightning sword hit the center of the Sword Qi ring. An earth-shaking boom resulted. The entire ground trembled violently.

A burst of wild power spread out quickly, flattening the forest. The trees turned into splinters, boulders turned into dust, and even the 200-meter-tall mountains shattered.

Poof.

Half-Saint Xin Lei spat out blood and flew backwards.

Half-Saint Xin Yun was shocked. His two brothers were all at the peak of the first level, but they’d all been defeated instantly. Just how horribly powerful was this young man before his eyes?

He couldn’t fight this man. Thinking of this, Xin Yun immediately used a technique to retreat rapidly.

“Spatial Move.”

Manipulating the power of space, Zhang Ruochen stepped forward. As if crashing into a waterfall, he disappeared from the spot. Only thin ripples of energy waves remained in the air.

The next moment, Zhang Ruochen appeared 30 feet in the sky behind Half-Saint Xin Yun.

“Die!”

Grasping the sword with both hands, Zhang Ruochen activated all the inscriptions on the Abyss Ancient Sword. Leaving behind a long trail of light, he hacked at Half-Saint Xin Yun’s head.

Half-Saint Xin Yun felt strong power immobilizing him. It was difficult to even take a step. His face paled.

“I don’t believe my cultivation as a Half-Saint can’t even take a hit from a Monk in the Fish-Dragon Realm.”

Half-Saint Xin Yun spread his legs and crossed his arms. Using his powerful Saint Soul, he gathered all the Spiritual Qi in the world into his black arm shields. He pushed his arms up. A flood-dragon rushed out of the shield on his left arm. The apparition of a lion rushed out of the right.

The two beastly shadows displayed powers of ice and fire. These two vastly different powers spun together, creating a pagoda-shaped shield.

Boom!

The Abyss Ancient Sword cut down, splitting the pagoda-shaped shield and landing on Half-Saint Xin Yun’s arms. He couldn’t take the sword’s extreme power. The bones in his legs cracked and he knelt onto the ground.

Zhang Ruochen’s eyes were sharp. He’d firmly restricted Half-Saint Xin Yun. He’d really made a Half-Saint kneel on the ground, unable to fight back at all.

Sizzle, sizzle.

The Abyss Ancient Sword started refining the two black arm shields. The shields quickly melted into liquid and fused into the sword. This way, Half-Saint Xin Yun completely lost the ability to protect himself.

Boom.

The sword fell mercilessly on Half-Saint Xin Yun’s head. He was split into two. Shreds of Blood Qi rushed out of the broken body. They flooded wildly into Sword Saint Xuanji’s body. They wanted to dig into his pores and drink his blood.

A Half-Saint Vampire had very strong vitality. As long as his Saint Soul wasn’t destroyed, he could still reform his body after being split into two and heal if he drank enough fresh blood.

He would only die directly if his physical body was horribly damaged.

“How dare you?”

Zhang Ruochen obviously wouldn’t give Half-Saint Xin Yun the chance to come back to life. He took out the Ruyi Treasure Bottle. Holding it in his hand, he collected all the Blood Qi in the air, as well as Half-Saint Xin Yun’s Saint Soul.

Only the broken corpse was left on the ground.

Everything had happened so quickly. Half-Saint Xin Yun had been killed by Zhang Ruochen before the other Half-Saint Vampires could even help.

It was silent. The remaining Half-Saint Vampires all had heavy expressions. They didn’t dare underestimate this man anymore.

Four Half-Saints had attacked at once, but he’d gravely injured two and killed one. If news of this brilliant record spread, it would definitely cause a big commotion.

“Spatial power. He can manipulate the power of space,” Half-Saint Xin Feng said.

Half-Saints were extremely perceptive. He could naturally detect the ripples of spatial power. If not for that, the four Half-Saints wouldn’t lose so quickly.

Feng Han had guessed beforehand. Seeing Zhang Ruochen use the Space Domain, he laughed instead of being shocked. “Sixth Junior Brother, you didn’t die. It seems that the Nine Serenity Sword Saint had told the truth. He didn’t kill you.”

Zhang Ruochen didn’t deny it. “Do you still qualify to call me Sixth Junior Brother?”

“Why not?” Feng Han asked in return. Then he smiled and said, “It doesn’t matter if I tell you, but Sword Saint Xuanji already knew I’m a Vampire when he accepted me as a disciple.”

“Why would Master accept a Vampire as a disciple?” Zhang Ruochen asked coldly.

“This is the truth. Even if you don’t believe it, it’s still the truth.”

“You’re speaking nonsense.”

Feng Han laughed. “If Sword Saint Xuanji could accept a savage beast as a disciple, why can’t he accept a Vampire? Zhang Ruochen, you’re still too far from that old man’s cultivation realm. In his eyes, not all Vampires represent evil. Not all humans are kind.”

Everyone knew that wolves would eat humans, but only those who were confident would dare to raise wolves. If not for those people, dogs wouldn’t exist.

Feng Han scoffed. “The old man thought that Vampires weren’t naturally evil. As long as we don’t drink blood or commit sins, we can be changed for the better. We can be accepted as disciples. You can say he’s benevolent, but in reality, he’s overconfident in himself.

“The Vampires saw this weakness of his, so they arranged for me to become his disciple. At that time, he didn’t know that Manji Island’s seal was already open or that I’m the sixth prince. He just thought that I’m a pitiful Vampire child. At that time, I was being chased by a group of humans. My mother and father had been killed.

“The old man thought himself the incarnation of justice, a Buddha that helped the poor. He actually saved me and accepted me as his disciple. Humans all have weaknesses. Once this weakness is found, even a Saint can be defeated with one hit. Zhang Ruochen, do you agree?”

“You took advantage of humanity’s pity to accomplish your despicable and evil goal,” Zhang Ruochen said. “Thank you for this lesson. From now on, I won’t have any pity for the Vampires I meet.”

“You think you’ll live after today?” Feng Han asked, laughing.

“I want to say the same to you,” Zhang Ruochen shot back.

Whoosh.

Zhang Ruochen used the Spatial Move again and disappeared.

Feng Han’s expression changed. “Be careful,” he said immediately.

Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Ruochen was already behind Half-Saint Xin Feng. His eyes were murderous. He brought his sword down with the fastest speed.

Half-Saint Xin Feng had already been injured, so he reacted much more slowly. By the time he processed everything, he’d already been slashed 36 times. He flew out in hunks of meat.

Right now, Zhang Ruochen was in total rage. He just wanted to wipe out all the Vampires before him. By the time Feng Han rushed to Half-Saint Xin Feng, Zhang Ruochen had already used the Spatial Move and charged at Xin Lei.

“Dammit.” Feng Han stomped on the ground and rushed towards Half-Saint Xin Lei. “Zhang Ruochen, do you dare fight me face to face?” he roared.

“Don’t worry, you won’t live for long.”

Zhang Ruochen appeared above Half-Saint Xin Lei. He activated all the spatial power and created a spatial tear, dozens of meters long. Inside the tear was a pitch black and icy void. The powerful force of phagocytosis emanated from it.

“No...”

Earlier, Half-Saint Xin Lei had already been badly hurt and his cultivation was damaged. He wanted to escape, but he couldn’t fight against the spatial tear. He only resisted for a moment before the spatial tear devoured him.

Standing outside the spatial tear, one could see clearly that Half-Saint Xin Lei had exploded into a cloud of bloody mist.

Two more Half-Saints had died in the blink of an eye.

Even a fourth level Half-Saint couldn’t kill so cruelly and horribly. Perhaps only the mysterious spatial power could let Zhang Ruochen come and go without a trace and become a Half-Saint killer.

Of the other three Half-Saint Vampires, only Feng Han was still composed. Half-Saint Tai Xi and Xin Lei were all terrified. They activated all their defense mechanisms, afraid that they would get killed if they weren’t careful.

It was quite humiliating for a Half-Saint to be so scared of a Monk in the Fish-Dragon Realm.
