Chapter 1808: Qi Sheng and Ying Huo
The male gold-armored imperial guard looked rugged. He appeared calm and was not argumentative as he cupped his hands. “It was us who shattered the spiritual power-clone of yours, sir. We are willing to pay you 20 sacred herbs as compensation and hope you, sir, will let us go for the sake of the prince of Dizu.”
Zhang Ruochen walked up to him, his eyes looking past them at the cliff behind them. “Twenty sacred herbs? You must be kidding me! There are over twenty of them just on the cliff in front of me.”
“You must not have known, Sir. The sacred herbs are widely scattered throughout this planet. The cliff you see here is a rare land of treasure. Collecting twenty sacred herbs in one place isn’t something easy,” replied the male imperial guard unhurriedly.
While speaking, he took out a wooden box and handed it in front of Zhang Ruochen.
A sacred glow accompanied by a strong herbal aroma hit him as soon as the wooden box was opened.
Apparently, they were canny. When they knew that they could not get away from Zhang Ruochen, they quickly offered the sacred herbs to him while pressuring him with the prince of Dizu’s name.
Zhang Ruochen took the wooden box. Using a Divine Purification Flame, he refined the sacred herbs into liquid droplets and consumed it.
The male and female imperial guards stood in front of Zhang Ruochen and would not dare to do anything stupid.
They knew that this cripple in front of them was powerful. Neither a surprised attack nor fleeing would work.
Half an hour later, Zhang Ruochen reopened his eyes, his body glowing with sacred light.
“Not bad. I gained seven thousand precepts this time.”
He nodded in satisfaction. “You two collect all the sacred herbs from the cliff for me.”
The female imperial guard appeared displeased. “We are the imperial guards of the Dizu Divine Dynasty. What makes you think you can order us to work for you? Just kill us. We won’t be your slaves.”
“The prince of Dizu? He is n.o.body to me. Let alone you two! Since you two ask for death, I would be happy to oblige,” said Zhang Ruochen.
The female imperial guard gritted her teeth. As she was about to kill herself, the male imperial guard stopped her.
He then cupped his hands in respect. “We will do as you say, collecting the sacred herbs for you.”
“Very well.”
Zhang Ruochen looked on as the two went to do what they were told, a smile flas.h.i.+ng across his face. “Don’t hurt the roots of the sacred herbs. Who knows, they might regrow next time.”
After the two gold-armored imperial guards harvested all the sacred herbs from the cliff, Zhang Ruochen continued to refine the herbs on the spot and ignored the two. Another one hour had pa.s.sed when the number of precepts in his Sea of Qi increased by over 19,000.
“Amazing!”
His body could not have felt better. The Saint Qi was full to the brim and every drop of his blood was boiling.
Following immediately, he once again looked at the two imperial guards. “You two must have stayed in Luoshui for a long time, haven’t you? With the help of the sacred herbs, no wonder your cultivation base has improved so quickly.”
The two imperial guards’ faces changed subtly.
“Our cultivation base is not worth mentioning, sir,” said the male imperial guard.
Zhang Ruochen snickered, then struck at lightning speed at the male imperial guard’s chest with this finger
Having a high alertness, the male imperial guard bounced backward at almost the same time as Zhang Ruochen made his move.
At the same time, he summoned a small golden s.h.i.+eld in front of his body.
Earlier, when Zhang Ruochen attacked the other gold-armored imperial guards of the Dizu Divine Dynasty, they did not even have time to react and were blown away.
Compared with the two imperial guards in front of him, they were many times weaker.
But the little golden s.h.i.+eld could not withstand the energy beam shot out of Zhang Ruochen’s finger. It flew backward upon impact, cras.h.i.+ng straight on the imperial guard’s chest, sending him flying backward.
The heart was one of the weak points of the Immortal Vampires.
Once wounded, it would defeat the Shapes.h.i.+fting technique of the Immortal Vampires.
The male imperial guard half-kneeled on the ground, his body and appearance changing. He was now young and handsome, his facial features sharp. He was none other than Qi Sheng, the prince of Qitian.
Ying Huo, the Immortal G.o.ddess, knew that she could no longer hide herself. So she revealed her true appearance and struck several needles that were as small as cow hair at Zhang Ruochen.
Bang! Bang!
Zhang Ruochen parried with an Armor of Words, deflecting all the needles.
He then put his hands behind him and walked over. “Qi Sheng, the prince of Qitian. Ying Huo, the Immortal G.o.ddess.”
“Zhang Ruochen!” Qi Sheng looked at him.
“Not bad! You have even found out who I am!” Zhang Ruochen was somewhat surprised.
Qi Sheng saw that Zhang Ruochen looked like a cripple. “Not that hard to find out. Who doesn’t know that a cripple who practices Path of Dimension has appeared nearby Luoshui?”
“You look like a smart man.”
In the blink of an eye, Zhang Ruochen had s.h.i.+fted beside Qi Sheng.
A streak of blood marks appeared on Qi Sheng’s face. Qi Sheng struck his hand out but missed the target.
Before he knew it, Zhang Ruochen already appeared beside Ying Huo.
