Chapter 1814 - Ashuran (1/2)

Zhu Xia smacked the cloth bag with his hand. “Safe your breath. This bag is made of black hou skin, engraved with the remnant of the ancient Nine Stratum Array. When you hit it, things will fall back on you. Stop fighting back and be my blood slave.”

Zhu Xia was confident of the bagua robe, which was his favorite rare item. He had used it to kill countless powerful enemies.

The cloth bag suddenly swelled. It became larger and larger, almost the size of a typical house.

And then it swelled to the size of a mountain.

Zhu Xia was shocked, his narrow eyes wide open. He scrambled to summon his spiritual power into the bag to activate the array of inscriptions on the bagua robe.

“How does the cripple grow to become this big? Could it be that he isn’t a human but a wild giant beast in his true form?”

Zhu Xia was shocked, but still confident of the bagua robe.

His belief was based on the fact that when the black hou was still alive, it was some thirty-thousand-foot tall, when it opened its mouth, it could gulp down the water of an entire river, and it could trample a towering mountain to the ground.

Gradually, the cloth bag swelled ten times in size in the shape of a gourd.

The mountains in the surroundings looked like mounds in comparison.

A few hundred miles away, Fool and Butcher looked struck dumb. At first, when they saw Zhu Xia got the cripple and put him in the cloth bag, they thought of going to rescue him.

Now they stopped in their tracks and looked at each other.

“It’s a giant gourd!” Fool exclaimed.

As the cloth bag was stretched bigger and bigger, the bagua robe finally gave way and burst. A loud bang followed by a violent air current spread in all directions.

A gourd was suspended in the air.

Lightning was dancing on the surface of the gourd.

The area surrounding the gourd was affected by a strange energy. Water vapor gathered and formed into clouds, then came the drizzle.

The thing that tore the bagua robe apart was the Mercury Gourd.

Mercury Gourd grew on the Mercury Vines, which attached and intertwined around Divine Bajiao Tree, the water spirit root in the Kunlun Realm. Each Mercury Gourd could grow as large as a star.

In a sense, Mercury Gourd was something growing out of nothing. If extremely agitated, it could grow to several miles in diameter and crush billions of lives to their death as it rolled on the earth.

However, Zhang Ruochen had still not fully mastered the ability of the Mercury Gourd.

Before Zhu Xia knew it, Zhang Ruochen had appeared behind him. He thrust his sword into Zhu Xia’s heart from behind, and sword Qi shattered the saint soul in his saint heart.

It did not matter if it was the array master or the cultivators of the spiritual power, their biggest weakness had always been their fragile bodies.

“No, no, no… I-I want a rematch…”

Zhu Xia’s head fell back and plunged toward the earth.

Bang!

His body hit the ground and smashed.

Zhang Ruochen landed beside the smashed body and collected the saint soul.

Zhu Xia was a prominent figure among the Immortal Vampire. Killing him could earn him a lot of merit points.

He could exchange merit points for merit treasure at the terminals of merit. Merit treasure could elevate one’s cultivation base and spiritual power, improve a cultivator’s physique, increase one’s wisdom, and many more. All in all, it had many benefits.

“Retrieve!”

Zhang Ruochen grabbed with his hand in the air and retrieved the Mercury Gourd. “Excellent stuff! Wait until my spiritual power achieves the 59th order and my attainment in the Path of Dimension and Path of Time elevates to a higher level, I will refine you into a dimensional treasure.”

The three-headed bat that Zhu Xia was riding on earlier was circling in the air, looking down at Zhang Ruochen with a murderous look in its three pairs of eyes. A strange shrill came out of its mouths. It formed into rings of ripple and broke apart the clouds within thousands of miles in the surroundings.

Not good!

Without time to react, Zhang Ruochen was. .h.i.t by the sound wave. He felt his head was going to explode, his vision turning dark and losing his body balance. Who could have known that a bat used as a transport possessed such a level of strength?

The three-headed bat’s cultivation base was of the Nine-step Saint Kinghood. Its voice could directly attack the saint souls of the cultivators. It was a very scary species of being.

Qi Sheng and Ying Huo had fled to a thousand miles away. But the sound wave still hit them. They dropped to the ground, hugging their heads with their hands, and screamed in pain.

Meanwhile, Fool and Butcher were much farther away. Coupled with their high level of cultivation base, the sound wave had little effect on them.

“No wonder Zhu Xia has a danger index of five in The Maleficent Records of the Infernal Court’s Ten Clans. His pet is such a nasty creature!”

Butcher hissed and pulled out the machete he carried on his back. With the machete in his hand, he then rapidly swung his arm like a windmill.

The machete was flung out several hundred miles and cut off one of the three heads of the bat with precision.
