“Activate Heavenly Eyes.”
A glowing vertical eye opened up on Zhang Ruochen’s forehead. It looked around, peering through the hallucination.
In his vision, everything was misty. He still couldn’t see Zhu Qingyi or Ying Huo and could only sense their existence vaguely.
“Your Spiritual Power is still far from mine. Even using the Heavenly Eyes isn’t very effective.” Ying Huo’s laugh sounded in the void. It seemed to have come from the nine heavens and it was impossible to pinpoint her location.
Ying Huo had defeated countless prides to become the Saintess of the Immortal Pavilion. She had abilities and tactics that matched her status. She was mysterious and difficult to defend against.
“Zhang Ruochen, today is the day you die.”
Zhu Qingyi’s voice sounded. It carried strong hatred.
The next moment, swords whistled from 16 directions in the heavens and underground. They attacked Zhang Ruochen all at once. Being in the hallucination, Zhang Ruochen couldn’t tell which direction the real attack was coming from.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t panic. While studying the hallucination, he activated the time sword technique, forming a ten-foot-wide special zone. This special zone was a combination of a time and sword technique territory. In this territory, time flowed extremely slowly.
Whoosh, whoosh.
He instantly performed 16 sword moves. As if 16 people, he resolved the attacks from the 16 directions and discovered Zhu Qingyi’s true body.
This time, he chased forward and attacked proactively in case Zhu Qingyi used the hallucination to disappear again.
“What kind of sword technique is this? How come time slowed down?”
Zhu Qingyi was very shocked. She blocked while retreating, leaving many beautiful apparitions in the air.
“Noon Sword.”
Zhang Ruochen became one with the Abyss Ancient Sword. Like the blazing sun at noon, he shone brilliantly.
Zhu Qingyi couldn’t open her eyes. Her eyes only blinked slightly and the next moment, the Abyss Ancient Sword had stabbed into her collarbone. She was forced to keep retreating.
“Such a fast sword. It actually contains the power of time…”
Zhu Qingyi reached out and grabbed the Abyss Ancient Sword’s blade. At the same time, she retreated quickly. Saintly blood kept flowing out of her collarbone.
The two had a deep hatred for each other and wouldn’t stop until one was dead. If Zhang Ruochen couldn’t kill her today, there would be endless trouble.
Seeing that Zhu Qingyi was about to die under Zhang Ruochen’s sword, Ying Huo acted again. A giant formed by the Xuan Yin Wind appeared beside Zhang Ruochen and it slapped downward.
Zhang Ruochen knew it was just a hallucination, but he still had to block it with his sword. What if it wasn’t a hallucination? He couldn’t gamble with his life.
Zhang Ruochen hacked down and the giant scattered into shreds of wind.
“It really is a hallucination.”
When Zhang Ruochen looked back, Zhu Qingyi was nowhere to be seen. Only red blood remained on the ground.
“You really think I can’t break your hallucination?”
Huffing coldly, Zhang Ruochen raised his right leg and stomped down. Dozens of b.a.l.l.s of Jingmie Divine Fire flew out of his body. They rushed in all directions, hovering in the air like divine lanterns.
Jingmie Divine Fire could burn everything in the world. Naturally, it could illuminate the hallucination too.
Sizzle, sizzle.
The hallucination gradually dispersed. The true battlefield appeared before Zhang Ruochen’s eyes.
Ying Huo and Zhu Qingyi stood side by side, not very far from Zhang Ruochen. Ying Huo seemed a bit pale. The hallucination had been broken, which caused certain damage to her Spiritual Power.
The wound on Zhu Qingyi’s collarbone was slowly healing. Looking at the hovering flames, her expression turned to one of fear. “Jingmie Divine Fire, the legendary Jingmie Divine Fire. You can actually control this type of fire…”
Not too long ago, Zhu Qingyi had thought Zhang Ruochen was a minor character. She could beat him until he was helpless. Only a short while had pa.s.sed and Zhang Ruochen had become a huge enemy that was difficult to defeat.
Zhang Ruochen controlled the Jingmie Divine Fire hovering in the air, turning it into a wave of fire. It flooded toward Zhu Qingyi and Ying Huo.
No one dared to touch the fire directly. They obviously didn’t either. Zhu Qingyi sent out the saint sword, activating the runes and Destruction of the Thousand Patterns. She wanted to scatter the Jingmie Divine Fire.
Unfortunately, the saint sword was melted by the Jingmie Divine Fire, turning into drops of metallic water.
“How is this possible? Not even a Thousand-pattern Saint Sword can stop it?”
Zhu Qingyi’s expression grew very uncomfortable, thinking that Zhang Ruochen could even save himself from a True Saint with this fire and the time sword technique.
Ying Huo waved her sleeve. The Thousand Beast Treasure Mirror flew out.
The mirror was the shape of a badge. In the air, it kept growing in size. Finally, it transformed into a dozen-meter-tall s.h.i.+eld. It stood before them and crashed toward Zhang Ruochen.
Not only did they have to defend, they also had to attack.
The Thousand Beast Treasure Mirror burned red-hot in the Jingmie Divine Fire. Densely-packed shadows of thousands of beasts appeared on its surface.
“Brother Chen, careful! Behind you!” Huang Yanchen called from the distance.
Blood Saint Miefeng had collected his aura and snuck behind Zhang Ruochen. While Zhang Ruochen was using all his might to attack Ying Huo and Zhu Qingyi, he’d released a saint spell-level fist print.
