Chapter 1687 - Tao Garden (1/2)
A Bloodearth Giant walked out of each whirlpool.
They had powerful auras and held battle hammers. Their eyes shone with b.l.o.o.d.y light. They attacked Zhang Ruochen and the Amazing Little Taoist immediately.
Zhang Ruochen manipulated his Holy Qi and instantly activated the Second Yao Complete Power of the heavy sword. He struck out, hitting a battle axe that was swung toward him.
Boom!
The b.l.o.o.d.y battle axe broke the Sword Qi and hit the heavy sword.
Zhang Ruochen grasped the hilt with both hands but was still forced back.
On the other hand, the Amazing Little Taoist was surrounded by a dozen Bloodearth Giants. He was forced to run away and almost died. “Zhang Ruochen!” he yelled. “Don’t you have a lot of ideas? Hurry and think of something. There are too many of these clay people. We can’t fend them off.”
Zhang Ruochen looked toward that abandoned manor. He flashed forward using the Spatial Move and arrived at the edge of the manor. He stepped in.
“You ran away just like that?”
The Amazing Little Taoist gritted his teeth. Holding his hands above his head, purple Holy Qi poured out of his palm. They turned into two purple clouds. “Sea-Suppression Print.”
The two purple clouds rolled, releasing a tsunami-like boom. They crashed toward a dozen Bloodearth Giants.
This mid-level saint spell contained close to 15,000 Rules of Palm Way. It was very strong.
Boom, boom.
The three Bloodearth Giants at the front exploded instantly. The giants in the back were sent flying too.
Half of the dozen strong Bloodearth Giants were upended.
The Amazing Little Taoist’s attack stunned Zhang Ruochen who was standing at the entrance of the abandoned manor. Even a sixth step Saint King won’t be able to cultivate more than 10,000 rules of one Way. Could his cultivation be at the seventh step?
Typically, a seventh step Saint King had more than one million Rules of Saintly Way. There would be more than 10,000 rules of one Way.
Zhang Ruochen only had around 40,000 rules inside him. For Rules of Palm Way, he only had around 300. He was very far from the Amazing Little Taoist who could use more than 10,000 Rules of Palm Way at once.
“Do you all think I’m just a weakling if I don’t use my power?”
The Amazing Little Taoist shook his sleeves. While yelling at the group of Bloodearth Giants, he walked toward Zhang Ruochen.
But when he saw that the Bloodearth Giants were climbing up again, he was very frightened. He ran for his life while muttering, “I can’t kill them?”
Whoos.h.!.+
As soon as the Bloodearth Giants touched the five-colored dirt, they retreated instantly. They didn’t enter the abandoned manor.
Zhang Ruochen grew thoughtful when he saw this.
“Amazing. How come they stopped?” The Amazing Little Taoist was curious.
“They must not be able to enter,” Zhang Ruochen said. “Perhaps I guessed incorrectly at first! They aren’t protecting this place at all. Instead, they’re like those ancient monsters. They only know to kill and destroy. The manor must counter their power, so they don’t dare to come in.”
Thinking of this, Zhang Ruochen grew even more curious about this manor.
“Whatever. Let’s get the Five Elements Soil.”
The Amazing Little Taoist transformed into a beam of purple light and rushed toward the right side of the door to dig up some of the five-colored dirt.
Five Elements Soil was all over the manor. Spiritual gra.s.s and medicine also grew from the soil. Some were green like jade. Others had vibrant purple and red flowers or grain-sized fruit.
Even Zhang Ruochen was tempted, let alone the Amazing Little Taoist.
However, he wasn’t so impatient. He knew that this wasn’t a safe place, so he moved his feet cautiously.
Crackle!
Blinding light emerged and a dozen thick bolts of lightning surged over. They struck the Amazing Little Taoist, turning him scorched black.
He fell to Zhang Ruochen’s feet with a thud. His entire body smoked and electricity flowed up and down.
Zhang Ruochen immediately used Spatial Twist to move the lightning back outside the door of the manor.
“How can such strong electricity be in the Five Elements Soil?” Zhang Ruochen gasped.
The Amazing Little Taoist moaned while climbing up from the ground. “Some previous wis.e.m.e.n added Taoism into the Five Elements Soil. Anyone who touches it will be attacked. Those old guys are already dead, but they still left this behind. Aren’t they just harming people?”
“According to legends,” Zhang Ruochen said, “if you bury dead people into the Five Elements Soil, they can continuously absorb Five Elements Qi and be reborn one day. Those old guys might have had that idea too.”
The Amazing Little Taoist’s eyes were like two peas. “This manor has those old guy’s corpses buried underground?”
“It’s not impossible.”
Zhang Ruochen surveyed the surroundings with a serious expression.
The Amazing Little Taoist hurriedly put his hands together and bowed in all directions. “Ancestors, please excuse me,” he mumbled. “I didn’t mean to disturb your sleep. Please do not punish me. Amitabha… uh…Immeasurable G.o.d, amazing, amazing.”
Zhang Ruochen discovered something and walked toward a patch of spiritual gra.s.s.
