Chapter 1328: Force Back

Zho Qilin was also a huge demonic figure who’d cultivated for more than 400 years. He’d even killed a few Saints. Why would he fear a young Saint who’d only appeared in the past few years?

“I heard that you used spatial power to kill Qiu Lanshan from the Northern Region Saint Academy. Did that battle boost your ego? Now you think you can go up against a Heaven Pa.s.s Saint?”

Zhao Qilin wore a mask, so one couldn’t see his expression, but one could hear the scorn in his voice.

“It seems like you don’t plan on retreating,” Zhang Ruochen said.

Clang!

A sword clanged.

The Abyss Ancient Sword appeared in Zhang Ruochen’s hand. As soon as the heavy sword and black light flew out, beams of Sword Qi appeared automatically in the sky.

Other than Zhao Qilin, the other Night Emissaries all felt the strong pressure from the sword intent. Their legs turned weak and they retreated involuntarily.

Merely the sword’s clang made some of the Night Emissaries bleed from the ears.

Such strong sword intent. Zhao Qilin was shocked inwardly. He stopped looking down on Zhang Ruochen and hurriedly set up his saint soul territory. One hundred thousand threads of Demonic Qi rushed out of his body instantly. They spread out, turning this destroyed area into a dark demonic region.

“The vast universe, all under me.”

The saintly might on Zhao Qilin grew stronger and stronger. Under his golden mask, his eyes had turned blood-red. He looked both aggressive and eerie.

“He cultivated the Vast Universe Gong,” Zhang Ruochen murmured to himself.

The Vast Universe Gong was one of the strongest King Realm techniques. It wasn’t much weaker than the Six Extraordinary Books.

Since Zhao Qilin had cultivated the Vast Universe Gong and reached the Heaven Pa.s.s Realm, his abilities definitely weren’t like an average Heaven Pa.s.s Saint.

The other Night Emissaries were also strong, but they couldn’t be compared to a Heaven Pa.s.s Saint. Seeing Zhao Qilin use the Vast Universe Gong, they knew that Zhang Ruochen wasn’t easy to deal with. They all used techniques and retreated into the distance.

Zhao Qilin took the initiative and attacked, pointing forward with two fingers. Icy Holy Qi poured out instantly.

Crack, crack.

The ground between him and Zhang Ruochen actually cracked from the reverberations.

Zhang Ruochen stayed in place and stood up tall. He lifted the Abyss Ancient Sword and made a circle. A circle of Sword Qi flew out, resolving the attack.

At the same time, he also stabbed forward quickly at Zhao Qilin’s forehead.

The two entangled together, sometimes flying in the sky, sometimes chasing on the ground. They were actually an equal match.

“Zhang Ruochen is so powerful,” an observing Night Emissary said. “His cultivation is enough to counter the leader. Compared to him, even the Deity is a bit weaker.”

“Nonsense. Zhang Ruochen is powerful, but the Deity isn’t weak either. Who knows who’ll win in the end?”

…

Without a doubt, the Nine Heirs all shone brilliantly in this era. The Empress used all the resources of Kunlun’s Field to train each of them. Their cultivation speed and potential couldn’t be reached by the average pride.

Probably only Time and s.p.a.ce Descendant Zhang Ruochen could steal their spotlight.

“It should end now. Vast Universe Print.”

Zhao Qilin’s voice pa.s.sed through the voluminous demonic clouds. Then he formed a print with his hands and sucked away all the Spiritual Qi within hundreds of miles.

A thousand-foot-long handprint fell from the sky. The lines in the palm contained abstruse Rules of Saintly Way. The ground caved in before the hand even landed.

Zhang Ruochen raised his head and looked up. His eyes were calm and fearless.

“Splitting Light in Great Void.”

Three thousand runes appeared on the Abyss Ancient Sword. The Destruction of the Thousand-patterns burst forth, forming a black sword.

The sword cut down, directly ripping apart the descending Vast Universe Print. Even Zhao Qilin fell from the sky.

The Demonic Qi in the sky thinned a bit.

There was a long b.l.o.o.d.y gash from Zhao Qilin’s left shoulder to his abdomen. It almost cut him in half. His eyes filled with disbelief. “How is this possible? You used the Nine-Life Sword Technique. That’s what I taught the First Saintess. How did you learn it?”

In the distance, Xiao Mie was healing himself. He was also shocked.

Xiao Mie wasn’t shocked that Zhang Ruochen could use the Nine-Life Sword Technique. He’d heard some secret information before and knew that Zhang Ruochen had a close relations.h.i.+p with the First Saintess.

What shocked him was that Zhang Ruochen’s power actually surpa.s.sed Zhao Qilin.

“An upper level Saint can actually be so strong. No wonder people told me that Zhang Ruochen is the top figure of the younger generation. Now I see that it’s not an exaggeration.”

Xiao Mie put his green eyeb.a.l.l.s back into their sockets. He walked to Zhao Qilin’s side, standing across from Zhang Ruochen.

Zhao Qilin bowed slightly to Xiao Mie. “Palace Lord, please rest without worry. Hand this over to me.”

“I’m afraid I can’t hand it over to you,” Xiao Mie said. “Can’t you see that Zhang Ruochen hasn’t used his full power yet and is only using you to practice his swordsmans.h.i.+p?”

Zhao Qilin didn’t believe that Zhang Ruochen could be so strong. He had only been injured because he was too c.o.c.ky.
