Chapter 1870 - Blowing the Cover (1/2)

Following the escape of the blood wasps and ghost kings and corpse kings joining the battle, the Fairy of Tianchu, Dizu Prince and other cultivators of the Path were in a dangerous situation.

“Go now, Your highness Fairy. We will hold back Blood Wasp Ashuran King.”

Butcher roared and covered his eyes with a saber in his hand. His body muscles swelled, emanating a violent aura that only the primordial beasts possessed as golden hair growing on his body.

He struck the saber at an angle, colliding with Blood Wasp Ashuran King’s sword.

Sparks flew as the saber and the sword clashed.

The powerful Saint Path Power turned into ripples and spread in all directions.

Butcher’s strength increased tremendously, almost as powerful as a Precept Domain-realm cultivator when he transformed into a semi-beast. But he still could not hold a candle to Blood Wasp Ashuran King. The powerful Sword Path energy hit him, forcing him to fall back as blood continued to spurt out of his mouth.

“You are not bad in terms of strength. Surrender and you will live.”

Blood Wasp Ashuran King struck his sword and hit Butcher on the shoulder, dragging with it several hundred feet of Sword Force. Butcher’s saber had intercepted the sword, yet the pressure was immobilizing him.

There were only two choices for him: surrender or die.

“Surrender my foot!”

Butcher cursed. He gathered all his strength in his arms as he gritted his teeth and roared.

But he could still not move Blood Wasp Ashuran King’s sword a bit.

“Since you choose death, I will have no choice but to oblige.”

Blood Wasp Ashuran King struck the sword sideways at Butcher’s head with the twist of his hand; he was cold and merciless.

“Butcher…”

The Fairy of Tianchu cast out a Rain Sword. It clung to Blood Wasp Ashuran King’s neck but did no harm to him. A layer of b.l.o.o.d.y l.u.s.ter appeared and formed into what might look like scales on his neck.

Blood Wasp Ashuran King’s sword abruptly stopped an inch from Butcher’s throat.

Time came to a standstill at this moment.

Zhang Ruochen moved like a bolt of lightning. He came in front of Blood Wasp Ashuran King, striking the sword blade with one hand and Blood Wasp Ashuran King’s chest with the other.

Blood Wasp Ashuran King took the hit. He was not hurt but just fell three steps back and ground to a halt 200 feet away.

“You all go first. I will bring up the rear.”

Zhang Ruochen took out a bundle of talismans and held them in his left hand as he fixated his eyes on Blood Wasp Ashuran King, just in case.

Butcher thought he would die. Little did he expect Zhang Ruochen to come to his rescue in the nick of time. He was deeply grateful of him.

He picked up his saber and held it in front of him as he stood beside Zhang Ruochen. “If we leave, we all leave together. If we die, we all die together.”

The Fairy of Tianchu retrieved her Rain Sword and stood on the other side of Zhang Ruochen. “I couldn’t agree more.”

Dumbo and the other Great Elder of Tianchu Civilization came up and stayed with Zhang Ruochen.

Blood Wasp Ashuran King s.h.i.+fted his attention on Zhang Ruochen. “No wonder I have a strange feeling about you. It turns out that you are a cultivator of Time. But it’s a shame that your cultivation base is till not up to snuff. Otherwise, you could be a worthy opponent.”

Before his voice trailed off, his sword had come right up in front of Zhang Ruochen.

Zhang Ruochen was no slouch. He had a vast experience in combat and his speed was no slower than Blood Wasp Ashuran King.

He cast out a dozen talismans at almost the same time as Blood Wasp Ashuran King thrust his sword at him.

The talismans exploded to release a violent energy, which had not only intercepted the sword but also engulfed Blood Wasp Ashuran King in it.

By the time the energy of the talismans subsided, Blood Wasp Ashuran King found that Zhang Ruochen and his gangs had gone.

“Who that guy is, and where did he get so many powerful talismans? But as powerful as they are, talismans are just extraneous. They couldn’t change the fact that you are going to die under my sword.”

Blood Wasp Ashuran King received a message from a wasp king; a swarm of blood wasps were pursuing Zhang Ruochen, the Fairy of Tianchu and others, not letting them get away.

Blood Wasp Ashuran King flew into the blood fog immediately.

Blood wasps were flying faster than Zhang Ruochen expected. They were right on their tails, no matter how fast they ran.

The Fairy of Tianchu used The Crimson River Portrait to summon the power of the red sun and divine river to ward off the blood wasps’ attacks and keep them from coming close.

“We can leave using the Dimensional Teleportation Scroll as soon as we are out of this blood fog,” said Zhang Ruochen.

The dimensional structure inside the blood fog was rigid. Not even the Dimensional Teleportation Scroll worked in this environment, let alone Dimensional s.h.i.+ft.

So they had to get out of the area first.

The blood fog was getting thinner as they went, and their visions started to clear up.

Butcher, Dumbo, Zhang Ruochen, and the Fairy of Tianchu felt relieved.

But their relief did not last long; their faces collapsed the next moment.

Two shadows with a powerful aura were standing in their way at the edge of the blood fog.

“It is them. I knew it! Mr. G.o.dcliff has come to Warsoul Start, too.” Zhang Ruochen’s heart sank.

When Drifter and Wayfarer saw the beautiful Fairy of Tianchu, they exchanged a look with each other and chuckled.

“I said it long ago that the maiden of Tianchu Civilization surely had something up her sleeve. No way she would die easily in Blood Wasp Ashuran King’s hand,” said Wayfarer.

Drifter nodded in agreement. “Follow us, Fairy of Tianchu. We can save you. Otherwise, you and your men will die when Blood Wasp Ashuran King catches up.”
