1565 Kill All, Spare None (1/2)
Su Jing saw the huge halo rising up in Mirror Fragrance Cliff Dojo and his expression changed abruptly. Only someone at his level would know how difficult it was to successfully cultivate the Death Halo.
But once it was cast, how could anyone under the Saint King Realm withstand it?
”No, I must save them even if I'm punished by the Truth Godly Palace.”
The few who'd entered the dojo were the future of Guanghan Field. He couldn't let them die in there.
Su Jing was about to rush into the dojo when the huge halo suddenly shattered. There was also a pained cry. ”Sword soul… You actually cultivated a sword soul…”
Inside the dojo.
King Yi grabbed his head with both hands and his body convulsed in pain. He couldn't control his saintly power at all, so the Death Halo shattered before he could cast it fully.
Just then, Ling Feiyu had used the sword soul's power to attack King Yi's saint soul directly, injuring it greatly.
It was a big deal for any being to have their saint soul injured. On the lighter side, they would become listless. On the heavier side, their minds would break apart.
King Yi yelled in pain while sharp golden legs grew out of his body. Part of his skin turned into a hard shell. A moment later, he was a strange half-human, half-bug creature.
Clearly, after his saint soul was injured, he couldn't even control his physical shape anymore.
A Cloud Field cultivator from the Insect Race rushed to his side. ”King Yi, what's wrong?”
”R…retreat…get out…”
King Yi knew his advantage was over, so he controlled his golden wings and hurried out to escape from Mirror Fragrance Cliff Dojo.
As long as he escaped, Zhang Ruochen and Ling Feiyu would have to follow the rules of the Truth Godly Palace and couldn't kill him anymore.
Zhang Ruochen and Ling Feiyu knew that King Yi was a strong enemy. How could they let him leave alive? Thus, both used their fastest speed to pursue him.
The cultivators outside the dojo were all surprised. They didn't know what had happened.
The Death Halo had just appeared. How could it suddenly shatter?
”Look, someone is running out of the dojo. Who is it?” A Spiritual Power Saint with the Heavenly Eyes suddenly cried out, pointing at the steps leading to the dojo.
Countless saintly eyes in the world focused in that direction.
A half-man, half-bug creature rushed out of the divine light that shone from the Osmanthus tree, appearing in their sight.
”It's King Yi from the Golden-winged Insect Race.”
”It indeed is King Yi. He has strong royal blood and has come to the Truth Heavenly Domain many times to cultivate. He's one of the top elites of Cloud Field and may become the next Supreme Saint of his race.”
”King Yi isn't any weaker than Bai Ran in the half-step Saint King Realm.”
”He reached the Saint King Realm 60 years ago. With his strong body and talent, he must be at a much higher level by now.”
The cultivators outside the dojo from other worlds were quite familiar with Cloud Field and explained King Yi's background.
But as the divine light outside the dojo faded, they finally saw clearly that King Yi was bleeding and…escaping with all his might. It was like his mortal enemy was chasing him.
”Am I seeing this incorrectly? King Yi is actually hurt!”
”Those six cultivators from Guanghan Field could force King Yi to run for his life? How is that possible? King Yi is so strong…”
They couldn't believe their eyes. This kind of result was completely unlike their predictions.
Could it be Zhang Ruochen? This kind of thought appeared in many people's minds.
Su Jing stopped, slightly taken aback, but he quickly smiled. Even King Yi had been injured and could only escape. It seemed that Guanghan Field had the absolute upper hand in this battle.
Just as King Yi was about to burst out of Mirror Fragrance Cliff Dojo, a powerful roar sounded before him.
”Where are you going?”
Zhang Ruochen used Spatial Move and jumped out of the void, appearing before King Yi. He hurled the purple godly mountain and smashed it onto him, making him bleed all over. His huge frame flew backward.
Ling Feiyu happened to hurry over from the back. She used Sword Way Xuangang and transformed into a sword rainbow, stabbing through King Yi's body.
Thud.
His body fell heavily onto the ground, so injured that he couldn't stand back up again. ”Zhang Ruochen!” he yelled. ”I am the first grandson of the Golden-winged Supreme Saint. If you dare to kill me, my grandfather will definitely take revenge and tear you into thousands of pieces.”
In order to prevent King Yi from deactivating his saintly source and killing them all, Zhang Ruochen acted decisively. He struck with a spatial crack, hitting King Yi and killing him.
The cultivators who'd gathered outside the dojo all witnessed this and it was as if they'd become fossilized. They were dumbfounded.
Zhang Ruochen had killed a fourth step Saint King. That cultivator was also the grandson of a strong Supreme Saint.
