Chapter 1753 - Each Had Their Own Agenda (1/2)

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

Heaven Field had already paid a huge price today, as dozens of saint kings who had the potential to become supreme saints had been killed. It was impossible for them to let go of the monks from Kunlun’s Field because of w.a.n.g Xu and Yan Ni.

Which was why Zhang Ruochen agreed to only take two monks back.

“Give me the two children.”

Gong Ziyan took Chi Kunlun and Chi Kongyue from the two dwarf saint kings.

However, he immediately drew a s.p.a.ce formation print on each of their backs.

Obviously, these two kids were Zhang Ruochen’s weakness, so there was no way he would return them to Zhang Ruochen.

Gong Ziyan sn.i.g.g.e.red and walked toward Zhang Ruochen, holding one kid in each hand.

Zhang Ruochen also walked toward Gong Ziyan, holding w.a.n.g Xu and Yan Ni.

The saint kings from Heaven Field all released rumbling murderous Qi when they were hundreds of feet away from each other. Once the exchange was over, they would definitely make earth-shattering attacks to annihilate Zhang Ruochen.

Zhang Ruochen was enraged, but he was still grounded and shared eye contact with Nine Heavenly Maiden.

They didn’t transmit their voices or use their mind power to communicate with each other, but they already knew what they were going to do from that eye contact. They knew each other well enough to do that.

Nine Heavenly Maiden nodded vaguely.

Xun Ya transmitted his voice to the four four-winged crimson angels: “Be careful. On the surface, they’re exchanging the hostages, but they’re actually fighting each other in the Way of s.p.a.ce.”

“What do you mean?”

A st.u.r.dy crimson angel was confused.

Xun Ya said, “Neither Zhang Ruochen nor Gong Ziyan wants to hand the hostages to the other, so they’ll definitely try to keep the hostages and take away each other’s hostages.”

“I see.”

Another four-winged crimson angel said, “Gong Ziyan is a seventh-step saint king, but Zhang Ruochen is only a fourth-step saint king. Gong Ziyan is at an absolute advantage this time, and he’ll crush Zhang Ruochen.”

“Even so, we need to be careful. If Zhang Ruochen gets the upper hand, we’ll have to help Gong Ziyan and make sure that Zhang Ruochen doesn’t s.n.a.t.c.h our bargaining chips,” said Xun Ya.

“Okay.”

The four crimson angels started to change their locations secretly.

Gong Ziyan walked forward while keeping track of the distance between him and Zhang Ruochen, because the s.p.a.ce prints he carved on Chi Kunlun’s and Chi Kongyue’s backs were very simple, and they would only work within one hundred feet.

Zhang Ruochen stopped walking when he was one hundred and sixty feet away from Gong Ziyan and said, “This is it, and don’t get any closer. I’m worried that you might use some despicable techniques if we get too close.”

Gong Ziyan scowled, stopped walking, and said, “I’m the leader of s.p.a.ce G.o.dly Palace, and I’m a man of honor. There’s no way I’d do anything sneaky. As for you, well… You killed many innocent monks in the Mountain-Sealing Palace under a false ident.i.ty.”

“You call them innocent?”

Zhang Ruochen didn’t try to avoid that. He paused for a second and said, “Whatever. Stop talking about those irrelevant things and being so sanctimonious. Let’s exchange our hostages first.”

“Okay,” said Gong Ziyan.

Although Zhang Ruochen was more than one hundred feet away from Gong Ziyan, he could s.n.a.t.c.h them back before Chi Kunlun and Chi Kongyue were closer than one hundred feet away from him. As for w.a.n.g Xu and Yan Ni, Xun Ya could grasp them at any time.

Zhang Ruochen and Gong Ziyan both threw their hostages. w.a.n.g Xu, Yan Ni, Chi Kunlun and Chi Kongyue almost flew out at the same time.

They got closer and closer to each other.

Zhang Ruochen and Gong Ziyan both stood still, gazing at each other.

The entire G.o.dly palace was breathing with tension, and the monks couldn’t be more solemn. Some of them were trying to operate saint Qi in their bodies and gathered it in the saint weapons in their hands. They could make an attack at any time.

As those four were about to intertwine with each other, getting seventy to eighty feet away from Zhang Ruochen and Gong Ziyan, Gong Ziyan suddenly pointed his finger at Chi Kunlun and Chi Kongyue.

The s.p.a.ce formation prints on Chi Kunlun and Chi Kongyue gleamed with blazing light, shaking the s.p.a.ce around them and forming two s.p.a.ce whirlpools.

Gong Ziyan couldn’t help smiling smugly, as he thought he was about to get those two kids back.

Suddenly…

Chi Kunlun and Chi Kongyue, who were floating in the air, disappeared.

Gong Ziyan then looked to Zhang Ruochen in the distance, and he found out with shock that Zhang Ruochen was able to perform spatial capture without s.p.a.ce formation prints, which looked familiar to him.

“Not that easy to get them back.”

Gong Ziyan wielded a s.p.a.ce Freeze Rune, which froze the s.p.a.ce dozens of square feet around Zhang Ruochen, which hindered Zhang Ruochen’s spatial capture.

Whoos.h.!.+

Chi Kunlun and Chi Kongyue showed up thirty feet away from Zhang Ruochen.
