Chapter 1836 - Pursuing Xie Canghai (1/2)
In the Eastern Region Holy City, even its sea regions had a large number of inscriptions, and could contain the destructive power of a cultivator within a certain range, and will not cause a city to be destroyed due to the battle between Nine-step Saint Kings.
Even so, when Xie Canghai’s ax struck out, the sea region within hundreds of miles kicked up huge waves.
The blood-haired man looked calm and stood up, as his slender fingers pointed upwards.
Whoos.h.!.+
Thousands upon thousands of saint path precepts blasted out from his finger and turned into an arc-shaped s.h.i.+eld ward with a diameter spanning hundreds of meters, like a huge mushroom sprouting out in the sea.
The Xuantian Battle Axe bit into the surface of the s.h.i.+eld ward, and a terrifying energy storm erupted.
The surrounding seawater was squeezed upwards, forming kilometers-high ring-shaped mountains of water.
Immediately after, the ring-shaped mountain of water rushed out in all directions, submerging islands in the area.
Three hundred miles away, the island Zhang Ruochen was hiding in was also not spared.
The island shattered within an instant, and sank to the bottom of the sea.
Zhang Ruochen fell into the sea, and his entire body hurt, as if he had been struck by a palm strike by a powerful elite of the Precept Domain realm. Fortunately, his body was strong, otherwise he would definitely be wounded.
“A cultivator of the Precept Domain realm is too terrifying. Even hundreds of miles away, the shock wave of the battle almost wounded me.”
This battle made Zhang Ruochen realize that within a hundred miles of the battlefield between cultivators of the Precept Domain realm is a death zone, and breaking into it would have disastrous consequences.
As for a cultivator below the saint realm, the forbidden area of a battle between cultivators of the Precept Domain realm would be thousands of miles wide.
At this moment, Xie Canghai was extremely shocked.
He had went all out with the axe attack, and it was easily neutralized by his foe. Other than a Supreme Saint, this was the first time Xie Canghai had met such a terrifying character, and there was a hint of flight that was born in his heart.
“It would be discourteous for me to receive and not return the favor. Have a taste of my sword.”
The blood-haired man did not draw his sword, and instead stood still on his boat.
A dazzling Sword Light flew out of his body.
If there was a Supreme Saint on the sides, he would clearly see that the Sword Light was actually a fast-flying figure that looked exactly the same as the blood-haired man.
It was however difficult for any beings beneath a Supreme Saint to see this clearly.
Xie Canghai was after all an old monster of the Precept Domain realm, and could guess the true essence of the Sword Light as he exclaimed. “A Sword Soul, for you to cultivate such a terrifying Sword Soul.”
That Sword Light, was the blood-haired man’s Sword Soul.
Only by comprehending the Jianjiu to a certain level that one would be able to cultivate a Sword Soul.
The deeper the enlightenment, the stronger the Sword Soul was.
Xie Canghai deployed a defensive intermediate-level saint technique as a layer of stone skin grew on the surface of his skin, and covering his entire body. The stone skin grew thicker and thicker, and finally transformed into a stone mountain a hundred feet tall.
BAM!
The Sword Light collided with the stone mountain.
The stone mountain burst into pieces.
The Sword Light entered from Xie Canghai’s chest and through his body.
There was not a single trace of wounds on Xie Canghai’s body, yet his saint soul was severely wounded by the blood-haired man’s Sword Soul. Not only his head felt like it was about to burst, he even could not control the saint Qi and saint path precepts in his body.
Both his saint Qi and saint path precepts had became disordered.
On the other hand, the small boat beneath the blood-haired man’s feet shot out like an arrow towards him. As his blood-red hair fluttered in the wind, he looked like a peerless immortal.
“Gotta run.”
There was only that thought in Xie Canghai’s mind now.
“Thousand Mile Demonic Step.”
Xie Canghai held the Thousand Mile Demonic Step talisman between two fingers, and pressed it against his chest.
The Talisman melted away, and condensed into a layer of demonic light that enveloped Xie Canghai’s body.
The blood-haired man frowned tightly as he clutched the bamboo slips tight with his left hand while raising his right. Suddenly, the sea water within hundreds of miles solidified and turned into sword-shaped white ice crystals; cold light gleamed at the tip of the swords.
It was just sea water earlier, and now it was a forest of swords.
The number of ice swords were beyond counting.
VOOSHH!
Countless ice swords flew up, and flew towards Xie Canghai with deadly abundance.
“Move.”
Xie Canghai roared, and turned into a beam of light, blasting away at the speed thousand time the speed of sound as he shot through the layers of rain of swords. A moment later, he had fled thousands of miles away.
The Thousand Mile Demonic Step Talisman was Xie Canghai’s most important life-saving means, and even if he were to encounter a foe of a Supreme Saint realm, he still had a glimmer of hope to escape.
After all, even the speed of a Supreme Saint could not reach a thousand times the speed of sound.
“He’s quite capable. And it really won’t be easy to take the Demonic Blood Axe Engraving back. Then, let’s catch that mysterious little guy first.”
The blood-haired man said something to himself, and then drove his small boat to the vicinity of the small island Zhang Ruochen had been hiding in. Of course, the island had sank.
He did not really have a deep friends.h.i.+p with Jiang Yunchong, and just happened to cooperate just this once.
The blood-haired man not only wanted to take the Demonic Blood Axe Engraving back, he also wanted to seize the hundred thousand year-old sacred medicine and the Taiyi Primordial Stone, and capture Zhang Ruochen to interrogate him about the secrets of the G.o.dslayer Cross s.h.i.+eld.
