Chapter 1740 - The Powerful Zhang Ruochen (1/2)

It was as if Ye Honglei just saw her saving grace. A joyous expression appeared on her face and she flew toward Zhang Ruochen as a red streak.

If someone else had come, they probably wouldn’t be able to change the situation—even if they were Wan Zhaoyi or Xue Wuye.

But Zhang Ruochen might really be able to compete with the terrible sword-wielding man. At the very least, helping her escape wouldn’t be hard.

She’d heard of Zhang Ruochen’s legends in the Truth Heavenly Domain.

“These cultivators are all very strong, especially the leader,” Ye Honglei said to Zhang Ruochen telepathically. “They’re practically undefeatable in the same realm. We must go to the s.p.a.ce transfer formation to have a chance to escape.”

However, Zhang Ruochen didn’t escape. His eyes were sharp. There was an aggressive aura.

Ye Honglei grew anxious. “The Tianluo Dojo is already destroyed. This can’t be changed. They have more people and they’re so strong. There’s no need to go up against them.”

But next, she discovered with a shock that this horribly strong sword-wielding man and the dozen black-clothed cultivators acted like they’d run into a great enemy. They gathered together.

w.a.n.g Xu’s Xu Moon Blade released a great amount of Sword Qi. It formed a territory that surrounded him tightly. The other cultivators all took out saint weapons. Some held staffs and others held rune scrolls.

What were they afraid of?

Zhang Ruochen?

With the sword territory as defense, w.a.n.g Xu grew calmer. “Zhang Ruochen, weren’t you already driven out by the G.o.d of Kunlun’s Field? How come you’re in their dojo?”

“Then, why are you in their dojo?” Zhang Ruochen asked. “Don’t you know that the Truth G.o.dly Palace’s rules state that you’ll pay with your life if you kill in another world’s dojo?”

“What proof do you have that we killed them?” w.a.n.g Xu asked.

Zhang Ruochen pointed at Ye Honglei. “There’s a witness before you. It’s not hard to collect battle marks as evidence.”

“Destroying another world’s dojo is already a great crime. Plus, you broke in and killed people.” Ye Honglei took out a scroll and opened it.

Next, an image was projected onto the scroll.

It was the broken Tianluo Dojo. With w.a.n.g Xu as the leader, a dozen Ruiya Field cultivators stood across from her. There were many b.l.o.o.d.y corpses on the ground.

“This scroll is enough to sentence you.”

After a pause, Ye Honglei continued, “But we don’t have to. As long as you retreat from the Tianluo Dojo, I can give you this scroll.”

In the end, Ye Honglei was still afraid of them and was worried that they wouldn’t be able to escape. She’d recorded this image to save her life.

w.a.n.g Xu took her words as a joke. He sneered without speaking. How could Zhang Ruochen let them leave?

The Ruiya Field cultivators radiated with stronger and stronger saintly might. They were all gathering power.

In the night sky, an owl saint beast flew over. Its two claws grabbed a strangely-shaped figure.

Thud!

It let go and the owl saint beast tossed the creature onto the ground.

w.a.n.g Xu’s eyes narrowed. “Yu Tu.”

The thing called Yu Tu lay on the ground on its last breath. “Lord…that…that owl is…very…”

Before it could finish, the creature died and its body turned into vapor.

Only a pile of black dirt was left behind.

The owl beast closed its wings and landed on the ground. It appeared beside Zhang Ruochen and said arrogantly, “It’s just an earth elf. How can it fool me?”

“What’s going on?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

“That creature is a rare earth elf,” Blackie said. “Earth elves are when special dirt or rock grow a mind and come to life.

“That earth elf was very powerful too. It was already a Saint King. It could move quickly through mountains and rivers, unaffected by formation runes underground. its aura is also very weak. You can only discover it if your Spiritual Power is close to the Supreme Saint Realm.

“It was unlucky to meet me. My eyes are the eyes of a Supreme Saint. I can see it even if it hides thousands of meters underground.”

Zhang Ruochen grew thoughtful. “The Tianluo Dojo was attacked as soon as the cultivators left through the s.p.a.ce transfer formation. It seems that this earth elf had been hiding and sent the message to w.a.n.g Xu… Oh no, I’m afraid the cultivators of Kunlun’s Field fell into a trap set up by Heaven Field.”

“Haha, the cultivators of Kunlun’s Field will all die tonight.”

w.a.n.g Xu grasped his sword with both hands. Four layers of saintly light appeared on the blade and he struck down at Zhang Ruochen.

Not only was the Sword Qi extremely fierce, it was also very fast.

Ye Honglei was forced to keep retreating. Now, she finally realized that the man hadn’t used his full power earlier. This was his true strength!

Was this really a first step Saint King’s power?

Zhang Ruochen wasn’t afraid. Sparks flew from the defensive Fire G.o.d armor on his right arm and fist.

Boom!

He punched forward.

In the distance, a fiery star seemed to appear before Zhang Ruochen.
