Chapter 1609 - Third Party Involved (2/2)

Qiong Lin’s earlier hit had been even stronger than Zhan Yu. Zhang Ruochen used a sword technique hurriedly to block it, but he obviously couldn’t.

Of course, this was because Qiong Lin’s cultivation was very advanced. He was even better than Zhan Yu in the Way of Truth and spells, so that was why he was so strong.

If they didn’t use the Rules of Truth or saint spells, only fighting with strength, Qiong Lin might not be able to beat Zhan Yu.

Qiong Lin looked back and roared, “Immediately repress that black skeleton!”

The cultivators of the Yin and Yang Palace had all been stunned by the destructiveness of the Tiangang Purple Fire Rune and Hundred Step No Lives Rune. They’d all released defensive techniques. Some had activated their Ten-thousand-pattern Saint Weapon armor, some pulled out defensive rune scrolls and held them in their hands, while others wrapped defensive images around them.

Hearing Qiong Lin’s order, seven evil shadows rushed out, each attacking. Soon, they used a ghost-fire bronze tripod to repress the black skeleton and save w.a.n.g Xu.

Seeing this, Qiong Lin was finally a bit relieved. He prepared to fight Zhang Ruochen with his full focus.

“How come I suddenly feel weak? I can’t gather my strength.”

Qiong Lin felt strange. Afraid of getting tricked by Zhang Ruochen, he grew cautious and hurriedly used spiritual power to check his body.

If he died without a clear reason like Mr. and Mrs. Mu, his reputation would be ruined completely.

Careful. He had to be extremely careful.

But after checking, Qiong Lin didn’t discover anything strange. As he circulated his demonic Qi, the faint weakness disappeared too.

“Did something happen with my h.e.l.l technique?”

Qiong Lin decided to repress Zhang Ruochen and then isolate himself to improve his technique.

If he ignored this small problem and let it grow, it could turn into a fatal flaw.

After that huge battle, all buildings within 900 feet of the Yin and Yang Palace’s gates were flattened, other than the Moon G.o.ddess’ statue.

Inside, other than the ten major pavilions and formation towers, all other paG.o.das and buildings were all rubble.

Zhang Ruochen slammed into a wall of a pavilion. Before he could stand up, the Ma.s.sive Heavenly Net Formation appeared above his head, forming a ball of light.

Whoos.h.!.+

A beam of white light fell out of the ball. It made the air within 100 feet grow heavier.

After clas.h.i.+ng with Qiong Lin, Zhang Ruochen’s blood Qi was rumbling and his Holy Qi was in a mess. He could only gather 30 to 40% of his power. How could he block the Ma.s.sive Heavenly Net Formation’s attack?

Before the white light even fell down, Zhang Ruochen already felt like his body was being pressed under a divine mountain. He couldn’t move at all.

I heard that the Ma.s.sive Heavenly Net Formation is able to injure a seventh step Saint King. It seems like I’ll have to use the seventh level PaG.o.da Rune.

The seventh level PaG.o.da Rune had to cool for two hours after each use. If it was used before cooling, then the lifespan would be shortened greatly.

But Zhang Ruochen couldn’t care about so much now. He could only save his life by using the rune.

He’d actually thought about using the Reverse G.o.d Stele to destroy all the formation runes in the Yin and Yang Palace and the Evil Way cultivators’ weapons.

After thinking carefully, Zhang Ruochen felt that it was still too risky to use the Reverse G.o.d Stele.

He’d made such a large commotion here tonight. He may attract Supreme Saints from the Truth Heavenly Palace. How could a Supreme Saint not recognize the Reverse G.o.d Stele?

Even with the Gla.s.s Heaven Cover, it might not be able to fool a Supreme Saint.

Thus, Zhang Ruochen had decided not to reveal the Reverse G.o.d Stele unless he was in the most desperate state.

Even if he couldn’t destroy the Yin and Yang Palace tonight, he could retreat and plan for the long-term. He couldn’t take such a big risk.

Neither losing the Reverse G.o.d Stele nor losing his life was something that Zhang Ruochen wanted to see.

Buddhist light spewed out of the rune, forming a seven-floor paG.o.da. Each level wrapped around Zhang Ruochen’s body, clas.h.i.+ng against the falling white light.

Boom, boom!

An explosion sounded.

The seven-level Buddhist paG.o.da that could stop a seventh step Saint King was actually shattered by the formation’s light beam.

With each level that shattered, Zhang Ruochen’s heartbeat sped up a bit more.

Even a seventh level PaG.o.da Rune can’t block the Ma.s.sive Heavenly Net Formation’s attack? Zhang Ruochen clenched his teeth. He hurriedly circulated his Holy Qi, trying to calm the chaotic Blood Qi and Holy Qi inside.

He could only face this crisis more calmly after recovering his cultivation.

Thankfully, after five levels were shattered, the attack from the Ma.s.sive Heavenly Net Formation weakened quickly and disappeared.

Outside the Yin and Yang Palace, Ling Feiyu let out a sigh.

Before attacking the palace, Zhang Ruochen had ordered her to stand outside and wait for his command. Once he prepared to use the Reverse G.o.d Stele, Ling Feiyu would use the Gla.s.s Heaven Cover and cover up the Yin and Yang Palace.

But she still didn’t get any news from Zhang Ruochen.

She was very confused. “The Ma.s.sive Heavenly Net Formation is so powerful. Why hasn’t Zhang Ruochen used the Reverse G.o.d Stele yet to destroy it?”

“Perhaps Master changed his plan suddenly,” Demonic Sound wondered. “After all, using the Reverse G.o.d Stele…isn’t just an average risk.”

Just then, Ling Feiyu’s eyes narrowed. She saw a small door of light open at the side of the Ma.s.sive Heavenly Net Formation.

Two Evil Way cultivators helped the heavily injured w.a.n.g Xu out of the Yin and Yang Palace.

w.a.n.g Xu’s ident.i.ty was extraordinary. If he was killed by Zhang Ruochen, all the Evil Way cultivators in the Yin and Yang Palace would be in trouble. Thus, Qiong Lin ordered two strong figures to help w.a.n.g Xu away.

“Capture him!”

Ling Feiyu was clear that w.a.n.g Xu had a special status. If he was captured, then she would be able to negotiate with Shang Ziyan if Zhang Ruochen was captured in the palace.

But before she could attack, another group of cultivators came out first, surrounding the two Evil Way cultivators and w.a.n.g Xu.
