Chapter 1681 - Who Surrenders? (1/2)

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

The nine chains were a very strong saint weapon, containing nine types of power. One was bone-piercing cold, one burned with flames, one radiated Death Qi… All the types of power intertwined to tie down Zhang Ruochen.

He held the Abyss Ancient Sword and activated all his Holy Qi to control a dozen other Ten-thousand-pattern Saint Weapons. His surroundings were impenetrable.

Thud!

A cla.s.s eight formation started turning on the wall. It formed a blood-red pillar of light that hit a Ten-thousand-pattern Saint s.h.i.+eld. The weapon shattered and the shards scattered in the carriage.

Zhang Ruochen had to attack with four Ten-thousand-pattern Saint Weapons to block the formation’s power.

But all four weapons had cracks.

He was shocked. The Thousand Star Maiden’s formation was too terrifying. If he was. .h.i.t, he’d be severely injured even if he didn’t die.

One must admit that fighting with a Formation Saint Master was a scary thing.

Poof, poof.

Whoos.h.!.+

…

In the carriage, four more cla.s.s eight formations started turning. It locked onto Zhang Ruochen and would attack destructively at any moment.

Actually, the Thousand Star Maiden had already calmed down. That attack had just been to intimidate Zhang Ruochen. She didn’t really want to activate all cla.s.s eight formations to kill him.

There were two main reasons why she’d lost her temper earlier.

First, she was worried that Zhang Ruochen was bought over by the Wizard G.o.d Emperor and Fairy Tianchu.

Second, Zhang Ruochen was above her on the Saints Merits Rank and took some of the glory that should’ve belonged to her. In addition, when Zhang Ruochen had commented on her, he’d actually said that she had a flaw in her mindset and couldn’t become someone powerful. Naturally, she couldn’t accept this and thought that Zhang Ruochen was too arrogant and full of himself, so she always wanted to compete with him deep down.

The knot within her could only be undone after defeating Zhang Ruochen personally.

Starry light was like fireflies in the night.

The Thousand Star Maiden’s voice rang out in the starry light, floating whimsically. “Zhang Ruochen, give up. You’re no match for me. If I activate four cla.s.s eight formations, you’ll definitely be dead.”

“Really? I don’t believe that.”

Zhang Ruochen took out the Time and s.p.a.ce Secret Guide and held it in his hands.

“Don’t try to challenge me,” the Thousand Star Maiden said. “I have many hidden cards to use in the Starry Saint Carriage. I can defeat you with just the power of the formation.”

“If you want to force me to surrender with just these formations,” Zhang Ruochen said, “aren’t you thinking too lowly of me?”

The specks of light converged, forming the Thousand Star Maiden’s snow-white figure. Her true figure was revealed.

“Here, your spatial power is cut in half. I have G.o.dly patterns for protection and many defensive runes. Your Sword Way, Palm Way, and Fist Way are all useless against me. Are you going to use the power of time against me? Time is even more abstruse than s.p.a.ce. With your realm, how much can you know?”

Zhang Ruochen smirked without replying.

A smile appeared on the Thousand Star Maiden’s beautiful face. She changed the subject, saying, “Okay, I know the Time and s.p.a.ce Descendant has an ego. How about this? I don’t need you to submit to me. You just need to surrender.”

“Why should I surrender?” Zhang Ruochen asked. “You didn’t defeat me.”

The Thousand Star Maiden’s brows furrowed. She felt like she’d already made a great compromise and gave the other a way to back down, but he didn’t take it.

“Do we have to get to the point of life or death? To be honest, I really don’t want to kill you right now.”

“We could’ve cooperated nicely,” Zhang Ruochen said. “I didn’t agree with what the Wizard G.o.d Emperor offered. It’s your desire to control and win being too strong that led to this result. I am Zhang Ruochen, Time and s.p.a.ce Controller. I’m not like other cultivators. I will not submit to any being, not even a G.o.d.”

“Seems like I can only get rid of your arrogance by defeating you completely.”

The Thousand Star Maiden stood in place and released her Spiritual Power. Instantly, the four cla.s.s eight formations started spinning, releasing stronger and stronger energy waves.

The area inside the carriage was even more frightening than the fatal environment.

Whoos.h.!.+

Zhang Ruochen opened the Time and s.p.a.ce Secret Guide. Silver light shot out immediately.

The s.p.a.ce inside the carriage was divided into a multi-dimensional s.p.a.ce. Layers of silver s.p.a.ce walls appeared. They were like book pages but also curtains of light.

Kaboom!

The destructive attack from the four cla.s.s eight formations. .h.i.t the silver light, shaking the entire Starry Saint Carriage violently.

Thankfully, the carriage was an Eight Yao Ten-thousand-pattern Saint Weapon and had the Thousand Star Maiden’s defensive runes. Otherwise, it would definitely be turned to dust.

The silver light curtain kept breaking and reforming.

There was a stalemate for ten breaths. Finally, the formation attack disappeared.

That was because the Thousand Star Maiden was swept into the multi-dimensional s.p.a.ce.

Her spiritual connection with the four formations was cut off by the spatial walls. The formation naturally stopped turning as well.

Earlier, Zhang Ruochen had been controlling the Time and s.p.a.ce Secret Guide with all his might. He’d kept pouring in Holy Qi and couldn’t take a breather until now.

This woman is so powerful. She forced me to use my last trump card and even then, I almost failed.
