Chapter 1128 - Kill With Arrow
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
“It must be…Zhang Ruochen.”
All the beings present looked over at Zhang Ruochen, finally confirming his identity. He’d clearly been pierced with the Shining Sun Arrow and fell into Dragontop Mountain while covered in blood. How could he still be alive?
“You didn’t die.” Kong Hongbi huffed coldly, feeling disappointed. Zhang Ruochen had actually survived that previous situation. He wasn’t a normal lucky guy.
Murong Yue and the Half-Saints of the Murong Clan followed beside Zhang Ruochen. This was why Kong Hongbi suspected that Zhang Ruochen really had something to do with the Crown Prince of the Sacred Central Empire from 800 years ago. Thus, Kong Hongbi wanted to kill him and make him unable to leave the Blue Dragon Void World.
Ouyang Huan sat in his wheelchair. Staring at the collapsing mountain, his eyes narrowed into slits. “Zhang Ruochen’s cultivation improved greatly again,” he muttered to himself. “Not many beings under the Saint Realm can counter him now.”
The Moon Worship Demonic Sect cultivators behind him all had uncomfortable expressions. They wondered if their Deity would continue fighting against Zhang Ruochen.
If they began fighting with Zhang Ruochen’s current crazy abilities, the Moon Worship Demonic Sect would suffer great losses.
Crown Prince Qingtian’s body was close to a Saint’s now, but he was still a step away and was killed by Zhang Ruochen. If he could have cultivated his Immortal Vampire body into a Saint, then his vitality would have reached a terrifying level. Even if Zhang Ruochen crushed him into ground meat, he would still be able to come back to life.
At that moment, even the Sky-Swallowing Demonic Dragon, Kun Prince, Rosefinch Fairy and Heavenly King Bi’an stopped fighting. They gathered around and looked at Zhang Ruochen cautiously.
Even Crown Prince Qingtian had been killed. Who dared to look down on Zhang Ruochen?
Without another word, Zhang Ruochen picked up the Clear Day Bow as if no one was around him. He grasped it tightly and then lifted Crown Prince Qingtian’s corpse. He flew to the peak of Dragontop Mountain in a streak of light.
The seven-colored light at Dragontop Mountain scattered slowly, revealing an ancient altar.
The Carnivorous Holy Flower was still rooted on the altar, absorbing the Blood Qi and Spiritual Qi of the mountain. The fruit at the top ballooned to the size of a basketball and shone with silver light.
Zhang Ruochen turned Crown Prince Qingtian’s body into fertilizer, tossing it onto the flower’s roots.
Ch, ch.
The Carnivorous Holy Flower made some excited sounds. Dozens of roots crept over to the corpse.
Crown Prince Qingtian’s physical body was very strong. It made perfect nutrients too. Sucking his Qi would help the Carnivorous Holy Flower grow a lot more.
Seeing the sight at Dragontop Mountain, the gleeful human cultivators all fell into silence. They couldn’t laugh anymore. However, those who’d thought Zhang Ruochen had gone crazy and felt regret for him suddenly came to a realization.
Wan Huayu smiled beautifully. “Zhang Ruochen didn’t go crazy. He was lying to everyone. His true goal was to lure out the greedy people and those that wanted to kill him and use them as sacrifices for the ritual. But what is he sacrificing for?”
Wan Huayu couldn’t guess the reason, but she hypothesized that it had something to do with cultivation. Zhang Ruochen had improved too quickly. He’d directly crossed into another level and had become a Ninth Level Half-Saint.
Dragontop Mountain was covered in corpses. Blood dyed the mountain red. It was practically a field of carnage. Most were the bodies of savage beasts while there were also a few Immortal Vampire and human bodies.
Countless humans had died under the attack of the beasts since arriving at the Blue Dragon Void World. Practically everyone had intense hatred for them.
The savage beasts had paid quite a cost in today’s battle. Dozens of Beast Kings had died while countless more Grade Six beasts had died too.
Seeing this, most of the humans were able to take their anger out. Zhang Ruochen had taken revenge for them and boosted the morale of the humans.
Of course, some were also frustrated. Feng Yinchan, princess of the Ghost Cultivation Race, was one of them. She was furious because she’d wanted to take advantage of the beasts and humans to kill Zhang Ruochen. Instead, Zhang Ruochen used her to complete the ritual.
With her abilities, Feng Yinchan wouldn’t be able to kill Zhang Ruochen in the Blue Dragon Void World. This was why she’d retreated with the Ghost Cultivation Race and wanted to return to Kunlun’s Field. There, she’d be able to ask the Saints of the race to kill Zhang Ruochen with the fastest speed. That would prevent Zhang Ruochen from maturing more and becoming their mortal enemy.
Zhang Ruochen’s Spiritual Power was very strong. He could see and hear miles away and naturally saw Feng Yinchan.
“You want to escape?”
He yanked out the Shining Sun Arrow from the dirt. Nocking it on the bow, he pulled the Clear Sky Bow.
“Oh, no.”
Feng Yinchan had an intense feeling of danger, a chill running down her spine. Silver wings sprouted on her back. She flew at a low altitude to escape even faster.
Poof!
The Shining Sun Arrow flew out, hitting Feng Yinchan’s back. She’d borrowed an ancient Saint’s body, so she was very strong. However, her body couldn’t block the Shining Sun Arrow. A huge hole opened up.
With a thud, she fell into the quagmire and struggled in pain. Blood kept flowing out of her wound. Her vitality was slipping away.
“You’re massacring the innocent,” Qiu Yu said coldly, looking at Zhang Ruochen from the air.
The Shining Sun Arrow cut an arc in the sky and flew back into Zhang Ruochen’s hands.
He met Qiu Yu’s eyes. “My conflict with her doesn’t need to be judged by others; neither do my actions.”
“You went so hard against a weaker woman. What kind of man are you?” As Qiu Yu spoke, he flew down slowly to Feng Yinchan’s side. He reached out and started treating her with two beams of yellow Holy Qi.
“So I can only wait for her to come kill me?” Zhang Ruochen asked.
Mu Lingxi knew that Qiu Yu was powerful and didn’t want Zhang Ruochen to have another strong enemy. She hurriedly stepped out and said, “Lord Qiu Yu, Zhang Ruochen didn’t do anything wrong. Feng Yinchan was the one who first instigated people to defeat Zhang Ruochen and almost killed him. Shouldn’t someone like her die?”
Qiu Yu shook his head softly. “I only saw that Zhang Ruochen set up a trap and killed countless creatures just for a ritual. Plus, didn’t Miss Feng try to kill Zhang Ruochen because he first stole their treasures?”
Feng Yinchan’s wound healed quickly and her vitality strengthened. She looked at Qiu Yu gratefully and smiled. “Thank you… Lord Qiu Yu, you are very fair and just…”
Mu Lingxi fell silent. She didn’t know the true reason behind these two events, so she didn’t know how to help Zhang Ruochen. However, she believed in Zhang Ruochen’s character. She turned and looked at him, hoping he would explain himself and clear the misunderstandings.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t intend on doing so though. He was too lazy. Lips curling, he hefted the Clear Sky Bow again. Using all his might, he pulled it to its limit and aimed at Feng Yinchan.
Whoosh.
The Shining Sun Arrow streaked through the air with a long trail of light behind it. Qiu Yu’s eyes hardened. His hand shot out like lightning and grabbed the flying arrow.
His five fingers grasped the arrow…
“Huh?” The next moment, Qiu Yu’s expression changed. Shock flashed past his eyes.
Zhang Ruochen’s arrow contained much more power than Crown Prince Qingtian’s arrow. He couldn’t grab it with his bare hands at all.
The Shining Sun Arrow flew out of Qiu Yu’s hands and hit Feng Yinchan’s head. With a boom, her head exploded and sank into the dirt. All that remained was a headless corpse.
The Shining Sun Arrow streaked back into Zhang Ruochen’s hands. Holding his arrow in one hand, the bow in another, he said indifferently, “You tried catching my arrow with your bare hands. Did you think that I was like Crown Prince Qingtian?”
Earlier, Blackie had telepathically told him Qiu Yu’s background. Thus, he knew that Qiu Yu was first on the Half-Saint Rank and had caught Crown Prince Qingtian’s Shining Sun Arrow. His cultivation was too high to be measured.
This was why he wanted to see just how powerful he was.
That man wants to join Miss Mu, so he’ll definitely use all sorts of tactics against you. Be careful, Blackie reminded Zhang Ruochen telepathically again.
Qiu Yu raised his hand. There were some small injuries on his hands. Eyes turning hard, he said, “Miss Mu, your friend has no manners. Does he want to force me into fighting him?”
Was Qiu Yu, first on the Half-Saint Rank, finally going to attack?
All the humans present gasped. The savage beasts and Immortal Vampires smiled gleefully.
Zhang Ruochen could kill Crown Prince Qingtian, so his power went without saying. It would be great if Qiu Yu could help take care of him.
Mu Lingxi didn’t know what to do. She really wanted to stop Qiu Yu and Zhang Ruochen from fighting.
“Who’s the unmannered one? I think it’s you.”
Eyes opening, Huang Yanchen stopped refining the Divine Pill. Repressing the power within her, she walked down the altar, not stopping until she reached Zhang Ruochen’s side. She stared at Qiu Yu with cold and sharp eyes.
“You don’t know the truth at all and you jump out to judge Zhang Ruochen,” she proclaimed. “Who do you think you are? Is it necessary for you to judge whether Zhang Ruochen or Feng Yinchan is right?”
Qiu Yu was the strongest one in the Blue Dragon Void World and yet someone dared to berate him? Many humans were impressed with Huang Yanchen’s bravery.
Qiu Yu looked away from Zhang Ruochen to Huang Yanchen. He remained calm, but no one knew how he was feeling inside.
“Zhang Ruochen doesn’t want to explain because he doesn’t wish to waste energy with a busybody,” Huang Yanchen continued. “But as his wife, I don’t wish people to misunderstand him. I must explain for him. Today, I will tell you what the truth is and what manners are.”
