Chapter 1794 - Shi Kai (1/2)

“Who is s.h.i.+ Kai?”

Suspicion was growing in Zhang Ruochen’s heart when he saw a swarm of flaming boulders flying over like a meteor shower, cutting through the night, and letting out rumbling sounds as they bombarded Luocheng.

Not good.

If those flaming boulders were to fall into the city, the cultivators may be able to save themselves, but the common people would definitely perish.

Both the civilians and martial artists in Luocheng were all trembling and many fell onto the ground.

“The end… the end is nigh…”

“Please, master cultivators, save us, the city will be forever grateful.”

…

The saint cultivators in the city all looked grim, and wanted to only preserve their strength to fight against the foes from the Infernal Court, and did not have any intention to protect the humans in Luocheng.

Protecting those mortals will only put them in danger.

Whoos.h.!.+

Zhang Ruochen waved his sleeve and eighteen flags flew out and were planted on eighteen positions around Luocheng.

That was the Flag Array Blackie had refined, called the ‘Conflagration of Heaven and Earth Formation’. It was said that this formation array was a Ninth-Rank formation, and it took hundred-and-eight of the flags to fully unleash its power.

But, due to limited resources, it had only managed to refine eighteen flags.

Of course, whether this formation was called the ‘Conflagration of Heaven and Earth’ or not is unknown. After all, Blackie’s naming schemes had always been flamboyant.

“Deploy.”

Zhang Ruochen roared as his long hair fluttered and halos of saint light burst out of his body and enveloped Luocheng within.

The saint Qi in the light were infused into the eighteen flags.

Immediately, the flagpoles turned into an iron column as thick as a millstone, as the flags unfolded and covered the sky.

A dense swarm of flame pythons rushed out of the flags and weaved together to form a giant net that wrapped around the city beneath it.

Boom!! Boom!!

Boom!

Over tens of thousands of flaming boulders came raining down, and collided with the Conflagration of Heaven and Earth Array.

This wave of attack lasted over a dozen breaths before it ended, and all of the boulders were blocked by the formation array. The civilians in the city heaved a long sigh of relief, and many old folks were simply frightened and fell onto the ground.

All of those saint cultivators looked surprised.

Not only they were surprised that the cripple actually would save the mortals of Luocheng. They were even more surprised that he had such a powerful flag formation with him.

The cripple was really a powerful person.

Just when all of the saint cultivators relaxed a little.

There was a deafening explosion from inside Saint Xu Place. A stone golem bigger than Saint Xu Place burst out from the ground and tore a nanmu drum tower, which was more than twenty feet high, to pieces.

The stone golems hands grabbed both Black Phoenix and White Zhuque and pulled them down from the air.

“Oh no, s.h.i.+ Kai was hiding… in the city…”

Both Black Phoenix and White Zhuque were caught off guard, and just as they were about to swing their saint swords to break both of s.h.i.+ Kai’s hands, they found out that his hands were covered with wards and suppressed the whole of their strength.

“A Stone-clan Supreme Saint’s Forbidden Wards.” White Zhuque’s face turned pale.

“You b*tches, pursuing me for hundreds of miles, and today, I will make you suffer the worst of agony.” The giant golem let out an angry roar from its mouth, and its eyes glowed with fire.

“Both Black Phoenix and White Zhuque are both top-cla.s.s scions of heaven. Their strength is no weaker than that golem’s, but for them to be so easily ambushed by it, their combat experience is just insufficient.” Zhang Ruochen sighed and shook his head.

At this moment, Zhang Ruochen had to go all out in controlling the ‘Conflagration of Heaven and Earth Array’ to resist the golems outside the city, and simply could not help them.

He too did not know what purpose the golem had as it tossed both the ladies down onto the ground, and bombarded them with over a dozen punches, wounding them seriously, before using two chains to lock onto their necks and dragging both of them out of the city.

Both of the coc.o.o.n-like protection on Black Phoenix and White Zhuque were long shattered, and revealing an almost suffocating beautiful facade. Any male cultivators who saw their beautiful faces would have love and pity welling in their hearts.

But at this moment, both of them were miserable as they grabbed onto the chains on their neck, and futilely trying to break free.

“Let the two maidens go.”

A few saint cultivators rushed out and tried to save the Black and White Beauties.

“Get lost.”

The stone golem waved its ten-feet-long arm out and formed a saint Qi wave, instantly vaporizing them into clouds of blood.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The stone golem walked past and left a series of broken as on the slate ground in its wake.

Seeing that it was going out of Luocheng, Zhang Ruochen went all out, and the saint Qi in his body poured out like a tide.

The Conflagration of Heaven and Earth Array unleashed a large burst of flames, which turned into a like wave of inferno several meters high that rushed out and turned all of the ten thousands of stone golems outside the city into molten slag.

That stone golem called ‘s.h.i.+ Kai’ suddenly turned around and stared at Zhang Ruochen standing in the middle of the street and laughed. “There’s a powerful one here, Qi Xiaotian, I’ll leave him to you!”

In the face of the flames from the array flags, s.h.i.+ Kai walked over to one of them and grabbed the flagpole with its stone arm.

“What?”

Zhang Ruochen was slightly taken aback and realized that the flames from the array flags could not do anything to s.h.i.+ Kai.

A network of red wards appeared on its stone body, and the flames could not get close.
