1699 Killing Queen Lian (2/2)
Drops of blood rolled down from the cracks. She sprawled on the ground and said with a trembling voice, ”Zhang Ruo…Ruochen, you won't gain anything from killing me. Spare me…I can be your…slave…listen to you…”
”No need.”
Zhang Ruochen was very cold. He walked before Queen Lian. Divine Fire Jingmie appeared on his hand and he slammed it down on her.
Sizzle, sizzle.
After the span of a breath, Queen Lian's body was burned to ashes.
Clap, clap, clap…
The Amazing Little Taoist clapped his hands. ”You're so vicious. You destroyed that flower without even holding back. To be honest, when Queen Lian agreed to submit to you, even I was a bit tempted. Actually, now I'm wondering if you really were poisoned by the Harmony Pill.”
The sharpness disappeared from Zhang Ruochen's eyes. His gaze grew muddled and he hurriedly massaged his temples before recovering.
The Amazing Little Taoist scurried away. ”Can you keep going? I hope you won't do anything to me when the poison starts.”
”I'll survive. Come, let's go save the fairy.”
Zhang Ruochen shook his heavy head and stared hard. Then he grabbed the Amazing Little Taoist and went up the ancient mountain again.
When Zhang Ruochen hurried to where he'd split up with Fairy Tianchu, the place had turned into a pile of ruins. There were broken walls everywhere and even the palace cluster was mostly destroyed.
”Are we late? Has the battle ended?”
Zhang Ruochen's heart dropped.
The Amazing Little Taoist sniffed on the ground and dug out a bloody arm among the rubble.
”King Yan's arm.”
Zhang Ruochen picked up the arm and looked at the cut. ”It was cut off by Fairy Tianchu's Rain Thread Divine Sword.”
”There are wheel tracks from the White Feather Peacock Saint Carriage. That Fairy Tianchu must've escaped!” The Amazing Little Taoist made another discovery.
”Let's go forward to see.”
The Luan and phoenix projections appeared on Zhang Ruochen's legs. He streaked forward.
After chasing for more than 70 miles, Zhang Ruochen detected King Yan and Wang Tian's auras. He slowed down and activated the Buddhist Pearls to cover up his aura.
This was a valley in the ancient mountain. The valley was filled with dark purple stones that shimmered metallically.
The steepest stone wall in the valley was a seven or eight-meter-tall cave.
Gales blew out of the cave. The wind transformed into Kang Qi and was as sharp as a Sword Saint's Sword Way Xuangang. If it was only one or two beams, then King Yan and Wang Tian could definitely block them.
But hundreds flew out of the cave at every moment. Even if they had many treasures, they still couldn't block too many waves. Naturally, they didn't dare to venture into the cave.
In the valley, King Yan moved his newly-grown right arm around and asked, ”Did you think of a way to enter the cave yet?”
Wang Tian's face was as stiff as steel. He shook his head. ”Earlier, I used my Four Yao Ten-thousand-pattern Saint Weapon to lead the way, but I only took a dozen steps and the weapon was destroyed. Those below the Supreme Saint Realm won't be able to survive unless you have an Absolute Saint weapon.”
”So you're saying that the bitch Luo Ji is probably dead in there?” King Yan asked.
Wang Tian shook his head. ”Luo Ji's White Feather Peacock Saint Carriage is an Eight Yao weapon. Even the Kang Qi can't penetrate it easily. However, the wind in the cave is very strange. Some fly as a whirlpool. Others fly in reverse. She can't escape with just an Eight Yao weapon. Hiding inside this cave is suicide.”
King Yan gritted his teeth and had a resentful expression. ”I really don't know how that bitch escaped from the Six Desires Poison. I almost died under her Rain Thread Divine Sword.”
Earlier, King Yan had released the Six Desires Poison. When he heard Fairy Tianchu fall inside the carriage, he'd boarded it immediately.
But the moment that he pulled aside the curtains, he discovered with a shock that Fairy Tianchu was still sitting there. She didn't seem to have been poisoned.
King Yan had sensed the danger. He cursed her in his mind and then attacked. Even so, the Rain Thread Divine Sword that flew out of the carriage still cut off his arm.
Next, rune scrolls kept flying out of the carriage, forming a strong attack. Wang Tian and King Yan didn't dare to get close.
Fairy Tianchu took this opportunity to steer the White Feather Peacock Saint Carriage and escape from here, charging into the cave.
Zhang Ruochen stood behind a boulder in the valley. Seeing Wang Tian and King Yan, he was confused. ”How come only they're here? Where is Mo Xiaogu?”
In comparison, Zhang Ruochen thought that Mo Xiaogu, who could control the Supreme Saint monster, was more threatening.
The Amazing Little Taoist rubbed his hands together and laughed. ”Who cares? We have the Absolute Saint weapon now, so what are you afraid of? I can't wait to take out these two.”
The Harmony Pill's poison was getting more intense inside Zhang Ruochen. His mind was weakening and he indeed had no more time to wait. Eyes darkening, he said, ”Let's activate the Purple-Gold Bagua Mirror together. We'll kill Wang Tian first and then take care of King Yan.”
