Chapter 1715 - Inescapable Trap (1/2)

Feng Yan had crossed the fifth level of sea and Xiang Chunan had crossed the sixth level. They all earned a lot of time to cultivate in the Truth G.o.dly Palace, so they prepared to go in and continue in isolation.

On the other hand, Zhang Ruochen received information from Feng Yan that h.e.l.l World was mustering troops to conquer Kunlun’s Field. If the Heaven and Earth Altar was broken through, it would immediately start a battle that could destroy the world.

Thus, he was in no mood to cultivate in isolation. He prepared to return to the Moon G.o.ddess Dojo and see how things were. Then he would hurry to the Moon G.o.ddess Mountain and meet with her.

He even planned on meeting Chi Yao personally. He had to get answers to his questions and guesses from her.

After these years of challenges, Zhang Ruochen was confident that even if he stood before Chi Yao, he wouldn’t be crushed by her divine might.

Zhang Ruochen left Kongling Island alone. He used the spatial transfer formation and hurried toward the Moon G.o.ddess Dojo in the Heavenly Capital Saint Market.

One year had pa.s.sed. Was Mu Lingxi still cultivating in the Truth Heavenly Domain?

How were the Amazing Little Taoist and emperor saint jade after Blackie trained them? Had they conquered all of Guanghan Field’s dojos?

Thinking of all this, Zhang Ruochen grew more impatient.

He had to go through many transfers from Kongling Island to reach the Heavenly Capital Saint Market.

Whoos.h.!.+

After the second transfer, he was already far from Kongling Island and the Truth G.o.dly Palace. He’d arrived at a vast wilderness.

As soon as he poured in Holy Qi to activate the formation and start the next transfer, he realized, “Oh no, someone messed with the formation.”

He sensed something amiss and his expression changed. He hurriedly used the Spatial Move and moved miles away.

Kaboom!

The spatial transfer formation under the ground exploded, releasing destructive power.

In an instant, the land within miles of the formation sank underground. A lot of thunder, fire, and spatial cracks interwove in that area, making it look like the end of the world.

Someone had set up a trap under the formation. If Zhang Ruochen put in Holy Qi, it would activate fatal force.

It wasn’t easy to produce such destruction in the Heaven World.

If he stood in the center, he would’ve died even if he was a prepared ninth step Saint King.

Zhang Ruochen had already used the Spatial Move to escape to miles away, but he was still hit by a shockwave. He flew out and crashed into a mountain.

Someone set that up to kill me.

As soon as that thought flashed past his mind, horrible murderous intent traveled from the ground.

Everywhere it pa.s.sed turned icy. The ground was sealed and turned into an ice gorge.

Whoos.h.!.+

Without giving him time to escape, a thick bolt of silver lightning fell from the sky, hitting his head.

He activated the Word Armor and Hundred Saint Blood Armor, but they were useless against the blow.

The Word Armor was shattered, turning into scattered words.

The Hundred Saint Blood Armor was penetrated. A hole appeared and part of the armor was melted into metallic liquid by the lightning.

The small mountain—hundreds of meters tall—disappeared instantly. It sank into the ground, turning into a canyon with plumes of smoke.

A moment later, four figures descended from the sky, landing beside the canyon. Each one wore a mask and radiated with strong murderous Qi.

They were four Killer Heavenly Kings from the Heavenly a.s.sa.s.sination Organization. Each one was a top figure.

One black-clothed cultivator walked out slowly with a bamboo flute in his hands.

“Greetings, Second Death Emissary.”

The four Killer Heavenly Kings bowed to this black-clothed cultivator.

“Did Zhang Ruochen die?” the Second Death Emissary asked.

“Zhang Ruochen is highly alert,” one Killer Heavenly King said. “He dodged the fatal trap set up under the transfer formation, but Lord Liancheng’s Breaking Divine Thunder hit him squarely.”

The Second Death Emissary nodded. “Master’s Breaking Divine Thunder had acc.u.mulated for half a year for this one hit. Even Su Jing of Guanghan Field would die from this. .h.i.t, let alone Zhang Ruochen.”

“We prepared fully to set up this fatal trap. How can Zhang Ruochen survive?”

But the Second Death Emissary wasn’t confident. “Zhang Ruochen isn’t a regular person. The higher figures take this a.s.sa.s.sination very seriously. We can only succeed. We cannot fail. Go and check. It’s best if you can find his corpse.”

A short and thin Killer Heavenly King said, “Lord Liancheng’s Breaking Divine Thunder is so powerful. How can Zhang Ruochen have left a corpse behind? His bones must have turned to ashes.”

“Zhang Ruochen has some treasures that even the Breaking Divine Thunder can’t destroy,” the Second Death Emissary said. “Go and find them.”
