Chapter 1627 - Frightening Assassin (1/2)
Even though Zhang Ruochen had already retreated into the corner of the room, acting as if he was harmless, the thin man didn’t intend to let him go.
Crack!
The thin man hit his belt with his hand.
Three silver metal b.a.l.l.s flew out of his belt. Two of them flew toward prince Luonan and Yi Roc.
The third flew toward Zhang Ruochen.
Won’t even go easy on me, a half-step Saint King.
Zhang Ruochen sighed. He lifted his Abyss Ancient Sword, activating the First Yao power, and went to meet the ball.
Whoos.h.!.+
Two sharp three-foot-long blades grew out of the silver ball. It spun in the air, creating gales of wind. Sword Qi struck out in all directions.
The silver ball moved extremely quickly and unpredictably.
Boom, boom.
Without warning, Prince Luonan was cut seven times in a row. Sparks flew from his Ten-thousand-pattern saint armor.
The great power in the blades sent Prince Luonan’s body spinning like a top. He flew out and crashed into the wall. His entire body was messed up.
Yi Roc wasn’t any better. He was thrown into a tizzy from the silver ball. He was cut four or five times, but he used his strong defensive wings to survive.
Right now, Yi Roc and Prince Luonan were terrified. With their cultivations, they couldn’t even handle two silver b.a.l.l.s that the other released.
If the thin man personally attacked, he’d be able to kill them easily.
The two felt great regret. If they’d known better, they wouldn’t have tried to be heroes. When the thin man had attacked, they should’ve tried their hardest to break through the Lifeless Blood Prison and escape.
The thin man grabbed a long spear. It was black and ancient with interweaving lightning bolts. He cleanly stabbed toward the Pill Spirit King.
The spear was like a demonic pillar while the tip was a divine thorn.
The Pill Spirit King had a high cultivation and reacted calmly. Red fire poured out of her palms and solidified into a peony, blooming like a red lotus from h.e.l.l.
In that instant, the temperature of the room skyrocketed. Other than the fighting people, everything was burned to ashes.
The Pill Spirit King cultivated the top technique of the Peony Race—the h.e.l.l Force. It wasn’t as strong as the 81 techniques on the Taiyi Techniques Divine Rank, but if she cultivated it to the extreme, she could still become a G.o.d.
How could a technique that led to the G.o.d Realm be weak?
The h.e.l.lfire stored within her was unlimited. It spewed out continuously, turning the peony flower translucent and almost liquid.
Boom! The thin man stabbed with his spear, hitting the peony.
A deafening boom burst forth in the room. Wild holy power surged in all directions.
Prince Luonan, Yi Roc, and the two silver b.a.l.l.s were sent flying by the strong wind. They hit the walls, seeming pathetic.
“This place is too small. I can’t take advantage of my speed.” Yi Roc was annoyed.
Prince Luonan’s eyes were cold and sharp. “Seems like I’ll have to use the Saint Look Rune to end this battle quickly.”
Before coming to the Truth Heavenly Domain, a Supreme Saint from his mother’s clan had given him a Saint Look Rune. Apparently, if it was activated, he could temporarily have a seventh step Saint King’s power.
However, the rune paper couldn’t withstand a seventh step Saint King’s power, so this precious rune would shatter with one use.
“Brother Yi Roc, help cover me for a moment. When I activate this rune’s power, I’ll be able to destroy him with one punch.” Prince Luonan put his hands together and his Holy Qi circulated rapidly.
In the distance, there was a soft crack.
The translucent peony was shattered by the spear. It broke into fragments of flames that filled the room.
The Pill Spirit King was deathly pale. She stared at the thin man in the sea of fire as if looking at a death G.o.d. Her eyes became clouded with fear.
The man didn’t continue attacking her. Instead, he charged out with his spear and stabbed at Prince Luonan, who was activating the Saint Look Rune.
“Get past me first!”
Yi Roc’s hands transformed into golden claws. He activated the Rules of Saintly Way and performed a mid-level saint spell.
“Flying Roc Breaks the Sea.”
Not only did he have Rules of Saintly Way, he also had Rules of Truth in his claws. Yi Roc’s power magnified. That claw could probably injure a third step Saint King.
“Ignorant,” the thin man uttered coldly.
Boom!
The spear broke through everything. It penetrated Yi Roc’s claws and chest as if tearing through two pieces of paper, and stabbed Prince Luonan’s forehead.
He severely injured two strong Saint King with one spear.
The Saint Look Rune on Prince Luonan’s forehead was also shattered, becoming ineffective.
