Chapter 1276: Stone Bridge
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
One Death Knight had been beaten to death by Zhang Ruochen. Even his Ten Saints Blood Armor was useless. It couldn’t survive Zhang Ruochen’s palm print at all.
All the Saints present were terrified, thinking that Zhang Ruochen was an undefeatable G.o.d of death.
They thought that the three forces together could kill Zhang Ruochen as easily as killing an ant. In reality, they were very wrong. The three forces all suffered great losses. After all, not many Saints could survive all the challenges to arrive at the ice land. Now, Zhang Ruochen killed a huge group. There were less than 15 Saints in total from the three forces.
Each death was a big matter. The remaining Saints all fled in panic, rus.h.i.+ng down.
Zhang Ruochen used the Spatial Move and charged at a Death Knight. He was currently neck-in-neck fighting with the Abyss Ancient Sword.
The sword spirit of the Abyss Ancient Sword emerged, hovering at the sword hilt. It was a three-inch-tall man with a pair of black wings. The sword spirit was controlling this battle sword to fight with the Death Knight.
When the Abyss Ancient Sword became a Ten-thousand-pattern Saint Weapon, the sword spirit would be able to form a true body. By then, it could even cultivate on its own, absorbing Spiritual Qi. It wouldn’t need Zhang Ruochen’s Holy Qi for support.
As long as Zhang Ruochen’s sword intent wasn’t extinguished, the sword spirit would be able to take over the sword to continue fighting. He could fly to ten thousand miles away to kill enemies.
That Death Knight had personally seen Zhang Ruochen slap another Death Knight to death. He knew that he wasn’t Zhang Ruochen’s match. Thus, when he saw Zhang Ruochen appear beside him, he said coldly, “Today, I will kill you and rid us of a great enemy of the Immortal Vampires.”
“Where do you get the confidence to kill me?” Zhang Ruochen grabbed the hilt of the Abyss Ancient Sword. He brought it down, Sword Qi falling down like a waterfall.
“It won’t be hard to kill you.”
A cold decisive look filled the Death Knight’s eyes. A blood-red bead inside his heart spun quickly and exploded with a boom. Then a blood-red ma.s.s of Death G.o.d Light came out of the Death Knight’s body like a roaring tidal wave. It formed ring after ring of blood light, turning the ice gorge blood-red.
Zhang Ruochen cut down with a sword. Attacked by the Death G.o.d Light, the sword grew slower and slower. Even the Destruction of the Thousand Patterns was being reduced.
“Oh no, the Death G.o.d Knight used taboo force.”
Zhang Ruochen had heard the Moon-burial Sword Saint mention this before. Each Death Knight had a treasure inside him that could unleash incredible force. Even he was a bit scared.
However, the treasure was fused with the Death Knight’s body. Once activated, he would die too. Thus, the Death Knight wouldn’t use the force unless there were no other choices.
What kind of power would make even a Sword Saint terrified?
Without any hesitation, Zhang Ruochen activated the Ten Saints Blood Armor to protect himself. He used the Spatial Move at the same time and rushed into the Mercury Gourd.
Kaboom.
The Death Knight struck the gourd with a battle spear. The gourd seemed to be wooden, but the spear didn’t leave any marks. The gourd spun and smashed into the five-colored ice wall with a boom. A part of the ice wall collapsed.
Zhang Ruochen fell onto the jade island in the Mercury Gourd. His back was bleeding. Even though he’d escaped fast enough and had the Ten Saints Blood Armor to fend it off, the spear’s Qi had still hit his back. It had almost penetrated his body.
“Such terrifying taboo strength. It’s only a wisp of Qi, but I couldn’t fend it off now. No wonder not many people can escape from a Death Knight’s pursuit.”
If it wasn’t Zhang Ruochen, and were an Absolute Land or Heaven Pa.s.s Saint instead, they would definitely get killed by the Death Knight.
That burst of power could threaten a true Saint. Of course, the stronger the power, the bigger the expenses.
Zhang Ruochen believed that the Death Knight wouldn’t be able to continue fighting in that state. He could only attack a few times at most. Then his strength would plummet, even becoming weaker than before, until he was completely sapped dry.
Boom.
The Death Knight used his strongest attacks to keep attacking the Mercury Gourd, trying to smash it open. In his eyes, it was only a gourd. It couldn’t protect Zhang Ruochen’s life.
Zhang Ruochen closed his eyes, using a technique. Without using any pills or medicine, his back injury healed with a speed visible to the naked eye.
The Death Knight’s attacks were weakening. Zhang Ruochen didn’t wait any longer. He rushed out of the Mercury Gourd, appearing above the Death Knight. “Now,” he uttered, “it’s my turn!”
Whoos.h.!.+
A beam of black sword light fell down on the Death Knight.
He’d already used up 90% of his energy and couldn’t fend off the Abyss Ancient Sword at all. The sword penetrated the Ten Saints Blood Armor, stabbing down at the Death Knight’s head.
