Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
Counting the Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon, 12 Saint Beasts from Ancient Dragon Mountain had entered Yin Yang Sea.
Other than Demoness Xuezhen and Saint Beast Xuanwei that had died in Zhang Ruochen’s hands, and the two that had died underground when trying to take the Nanling Dragon Fire, there were eight left.
Of the eight, the weakest was an upper-level Saint. The strongest was at the pinnacle of the Xuanhuang Realm.
Their bodies were all very strong. Some were descendants of divine beasts, some were Taigu Remains, and some were pure dragons. Even the upper-level Saint Beast had the horrifying ability to suppress Xuanhuang Realm Saints.
Since they could enter the Yin Yang Sea with the Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon, it meant that they were extraordinary.
However, the eight Saint Beasts all had different injuries. They were the weakest right now.
This moment was the best time to kill them.
“Young Manlong and Winged lords, come out to die!”
Zhang Ruochen strode forward with the Abyss Ancient Sword. Beams of sharp Sword Qi followed his footsteps. The aura about him grew stronger.
Earlier, the two young dragon lords had attacked the most fiercely, focusing on killing Zhang Ruochen. His energy had been focused on collecting the Nanling Dragon Fire and he couldn’t be distracted, so he could only get hit.
Now that he’d successfully collected the Nanling Dragon Fire, he could let loose. He naturally wanted to take revenge on these two dragon lords.
“Zhang Ruochen,” the young Manlong Lord said, smiling. “The Holy Carnivorous Flower that you rely on the most is gravely injured. You’ve already used your biggest trump card, the Five Town Destructive Sacred Rune. Yet you still dare to enter the Ancient Dragon Mountain’s camp. Are you here to search for death?”
The young Winged Dragon lord glanced at Zhang Ruochen and said indifferently, “You only collected a Nanling Dragon Fire and you think you’re undefeatable? You can’t even control the fire at will now, right?”
Earlier, the young Manlong Dragon lord had fought with Zhang Ruochen underground. He was clear about Zhang Ruochen’s abilities, so he didn’t fear Zhang Ruochen.
“You were hurt too earlier, right?” he asked. “If I were you, I’d hide somewhere and lick my wounds or run out of Dragon Fire Island with my tail down. I wouldn’t come here to look for humiliation. You think you can take revenge? Your cultivation isn’t anywhere close to that level.”
The Saints from the imperial court and Nine Li Palace all paid attention to Zhang Ruochen’s moves. They thought he’d overdone it too.
No matter how strong someone was, how could he fight seven Saint Beasts? Plus, none of the seven were easy to deal with. They were all extremely strong.
Of all the people, only Wan Huayu was confident in Zhang Ruochen. She didn’t think he was looking for humiliation. He might be able to do things that regular people couldn’t.
The scene of Zhang Ruochen fighting 19 Beast Kings in the Blue Dragon Void World was still fresh in her mind. It had really affected her at that time.
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes met with the young Manlong Dragon lord’s. “Oh?” he said simply. “Then I’ll kill you first.”
Kaboom.
Sword intent within Zhang Ruochen seemed to explode and charge into the Abyss Ancient Sword.
The sword trembled and whistled. It flew toward the young Manlong Dragon lord’s forehead as a streak of black light.
“You really dare to attack? Then I’ll kill you first!”
Even in human form, the young Manlong Dragon lord was more than 20 meters tall. He was a one-armed giant. When he roared, the entire ground trembled.
Hefting up the dozen-meter-long axe, he poured Holy Qi into it continuously. Thousands of ancient veins appeared on the huge axe. These veins rushed out of the blade, forming a dark s.h.i.+eld of light. It stretched hundreds of meters from the ground to the sky.
Boom!
Sword Qi shot in all directions when the Abyss Ancient Sword hit the light s.h.i.+eld. It could only produce a huge sound without penetrating it.
The young Manlong Dragon lord’s eyes grew scornful. “Zhang Ruochen, do you know my true abilities now? With your cultivation, you won’t even be able to break through my de…fense… What…”
Before he could finish, he saw Zhang Ruochen fly over from the back. He slammed a palm on the Abyss Ancient Sword’s hilt. Then Nanling Dragon Fire poured out of his palm. It pa.s.sed through the sword, spreading toward the light s.h.i.+eld.
Boom.
The light s.h.i.+eld shattered. The young Manlong Dragon lord’s expression changed drastically. He hurriedly waved his axe, attacking the incoming Abyss Ancient Sword.
The young Manlong Dragon lord’s huge axe wasn’t an ordinary weapon. It was an ancient weapon, tempered by the Saints of the Manlong Dragon Tribe. It contained bounding Dragon Qi.
It struck down and more than 100 dragon shadows flew out of the sharp side. The two weapons clashed violently and the Abyss Ancient Sword was forced back.
But before the young Manlong Dragon lord could become proud, Zhang Ruochen used the Spatial Move to appear above his head. He slammed a palm down.
“How is this possible…”
The young Manlong Dragon lord used a physical technique. His body shook violently. His head was safe, but Zhang Ruochen’s palm print hit his shoulder.
Crack.
His shoulder was pulverized. A finger’s-width hole stretched from his chest to his back. His arm dropped down, losing all strength. The huge axe fell to the ground too.
The young Manlong Dragon lord let out a m.u.f.fled grunt and retreated hurriedly.
“Do you still think you’re so powerful?”
Zhang Ruochen obviously wouldn’t give the young Manlong Dragon lord a chance to breathe. He reached out, collecting the Abyss Ancient Sword. Then, with a long trail of Sword Qi, he carried the Nanling Dragon Fire and cut down.
“Zhang Ruochen, don’t get too proud. If I hadn’t been injured earlier, you wouldn’t be my match.”
