Chapter 624 - The Strongest Confrontation Below the Half-Saint Realm - God Emperor

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

Zhang Ruochen saw that he had successfully scared the Cao siblings. He immediately smiled and then looked at the four array masters on the altar. In a cold voice, he said, “Four masters, are you still not going to activate the array?”

The four array masters could not see Zhang Ruochen’s figure. They only knew that this man moved unpredictably and that his cultivation was unfathomable. He only needed a single thought to kill all four of them.

They did not dare to disobey his order, so they began to activate the array.

The four array masters shook violently and then they all struck out with a palm at the same time, activating the Inscription of Array below the earth.

On the altar, lines of inscription lit up and extended outward like human veins. Very quickly, it enveloped the entire space underground.

“Crash!”

Purple lightning and crimson thunderbolts surged out crazily from the array. They formed lightning dragons and fire snakes as they shot toward Cao Xu and Cao Ling.

Although the array below the ground was not enough to kill masters such as them, it was able to trap them.

They were Di Yi’s two capable warlords. If they remained trapped here, there would be no one by Di Yi’s side.

In the underground space, the four array masters and the Cao siblings had no idea that Zhang Ruochen had already left and returned to the surface.

…

In just a quarter of an hour, the power of the array had changed Red Willow Heights beyond recognition. There were crumbled walls everywhere and fire had reduced the trees and houses to ash.

Those evil cultivators who were lucky enough to still be alive began escaping.

The sky had gradually darkened but Red Willow Heights was still on fire. Endless sounds of soldiers clashing and the sounds of killing rang out.

Purple Wind Emissary noticed that the Cao siblings had still not returned, and there was no sign of the array in the heights stopping. He said, “Young master, the situation is not good. Should we leave Red Willow Heights?”

Actually, Di Yi also felt that things were not going well. Even though he was fairly clever, at this moment, he could not read the situation clearly.

Who was it that could sneak unnoticed into Red Willow Heights and control the headquarters of the array in the Heights?

Where did Red Wish Emissary get the power to avoid the attacks of Cyan-robed Emissary, Ice Demon, and other similar forces, and still return to Red Willow Heights to battle with him?

So many doubts and so many uncertainties—Di Yi was a bit overwhelmed.

Since he couldn’t see the situation clearly, staying in Red Willow Heights was very dangerous.

Di Yi’s face darkened and he conceded. “Alright, let’s leave first.”

“You want to go? Where will you go?” A clear voice rang out.

A bright silver moon appeared in the sky. The outline of the moon grew larger and larger until it landed on the roof of a broken palace.

Silvermoon appeared in the heart of the silver full moon. Standing on top of the gold-glazed tiles, every inch of her skin gave off a silver light. Looking down, her sharp, icy gaze was focused on Di Yi and Purple Wind Emissary.

Immediately, Red Wish Emissary fought her way out and rushed over. Appearing in the opposite direction, she and Silvermoon were poised for a double-pronged attack.

Red Wish Emissary stared at Di Yi and laughed. “Young master, I never thought that you would ever be in such pathetic circumstances.”

The Dragonhead Long Spear that Purple Wind Emissary carried on his back shook and flew out by itself, slamming into the ground in front of him with a bang and making waves of dragon roars.

He grasped the shaft of the spear with one hand and huffed coldly. “Red Wish Emissary, you are very daring to collude with the traitors of the Black Market to defeat the young master. If this becomes known to the Elder, do you know what will happen?”

The Red Wish Emissary smiled disdainfully. “Silvermoon is here to exact revenge on DiYi, what does it have to do with me? Purple Wind Emissary, are you trying to frame me with these accusations?”

Di Yi gradually calmed down and coldly said, “Ye Honglei, do you think you have complete control of the situation? Are you not underestimating me?”

Red Wish Emissary’s smiled disappeared and she coldly glanced at Di Yi. “Di Yi, to tell you the truth, my people have already killed everyone you sent. Ice Demon, Cyan-robed Emissary, Zhao Hanhu, the Hunter, and Zhangsun Lan… without them, how are you going to fight me?”

Red Wish Emissary threw out the heads of Cyan-robed Emissary, Zhao Hanhu, and Zhangsun Lan.

“Thud!”

Three bloody heads rolled like rubber balls, coming to a stop at Di Yi’s feet.

The three of them had been first-rate masters—Di Yi’s valiant generals. It was totally unexpected that they would all die tragically in one day.

Seeing their three bloody heads, the anger in Di Yi’s heart rose to a breaking point. He harshly said, “It is impossible that you and Silvermoon killed all of them. Who was it? Who has been planning all of this and advising you?”

In Di Yi’s eyes, Red Wish Emissary had always been a minor player and did not have much regard for her.

When he saw the three heads, he just lost it. The anger in his body almost set him on fire.

Zhang Ruochen walked over unhurriedly, stepping on void space while holding a Thunder Pearl in one hand. He looked at Di Yi as he landed beside Red Wish Emissary.

When he saw Di Yi’s angry expression, the joy of revenge grew in his heart. Icily, he said, “Di Yi, do you now understand what it feels like to have those around you killed?”

Di Yi’s gaze shifted to Zhang Ruochen. “Who are you?”

“I am the Great Guardian of Red Willow Heights, I trust that you have heard of me.” Zhang Ruochen replied lightly.

“Why do I feel… like we’ve already met before?”

Di Yi’s give senses were very sensitive. One look at Zhang Ruochen gave him a feeling of familiarity.

“It is not important whether we have met before or not. What’s important is that the grievance between us be resolved today,” Zhang Ruochen said.

Red Wish Emissary glanced at Zhang Ruochen. Now that Di Yi mentioned it, she began to feel like this Great Guardian in front of her was very familiar as if she had known him from a very long time ago.

Today, the Great Guardian seemed different—the aura around his body had clearly changed.

Perhaps he had deliberately restrained his aura before?

Purple Wind Emissary activated all of the Holy Qi in his five holy meridians. Grabbing his Dragonhead Long Spear, he was the first to charge out, aiming straight for Red Wish Emissary.

Red Wish Emissary’s cultivation was the weakest among those who were present. If he killed her, he could turn the tables and gain momentum.

Silvermoon flew down in front of Zhang Ruochen and Red Wish Emissary. Her slender fingers moved quickly to her waist and pulled out an old crescent-shaped silver knife.

With a swing of her arm, the old silver knife sliced outward. A gust of Saint Power flew from its blade and formed a giant crescent-shaped knife energy.

Purple Wind Emissary’s eyes narrowed and he immediately shook the Dragonhead Long Spear.

“Wind Dragon Absorbing Soul.”

An ear-splitting dragon’s roar came from inside the spear. Accompanying the Dragonhead Long Spear’s rapid vibrations, a purple dragon shadow longer than 30 meters appeared on its shaft.

The Dragonhead Long Spear was also called a “Dragon Soul Fright Spear”. It was a very high-class Hundred Inscription Weapon. A flood dragon and the dragon soul were sealed inside of it.

The dragon soul was the Vessel Spirit of the spear.

“Howl!”

The purple dragon shadow and the Dragon Soul Fright Spear flew out at the same time. It immediately shook the sand and the stones on Red Willow Heights, forming a sharp knife strength.

The clash of the two powerful forces created a deafening sound.

The power surged out toward the two sides, pushing Zhang Ruochen, Red Wish Emissary and Di Yi backward.

Zhang Ruochen was the first to find his footing and look toward the center. He saw a bottomless pit form between Silvermoon and Purple Wind Emissary.

Around the massive pit were dense cracks resembling a spiderweb. Even the rockery and stone walls nearby had turned into dust.

Silvermoon stood proudly and appeared full of heroic spirit. She coldly said, “Last time we fought there was no victor and no loser. Care to try again?”

Without waiting for Purple Wind Emissary to reply, Silvermoon slashed out an overbearing broadsword technique and attacked.

Silvermoon and Purple Wind Emissary were both warriors at the peak of the Fish-dragon Realm. They were both just one step away from the realm of the Half-Saint. They were evenly matched.

The battle between them became fiercer and fiercer. In the end, even they found it difficult to stop.

“Swoosh!”

One silver and one purple shadow shot into the sky. Above the layer of clouds, they each demonstrated their Martial Soul, activating their Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi to the fullest extent. They attacked without ceasing.

The warriors in the Cyan Cloud county all looked toward Red Willow Heights. From a distance, they could see that half of the sky was covered by a purple cloud. The mighty cloud was like a purple holy sea.

However, a silver full moon hung in the sky and clashed fiercely with the purple holy sea, exploding with earth-shattering sounds.

…

“What terrifying power ripples. Are two Half-Saints fighting?”

“If their battle reaches Cyan Cloud county, the shockwaves from the battle can destroy half of the city. We must activate the Defender Array immediately.”

…

The warriors of the Cyan Cloud county were all terrified and uneasy. The common people who did not practice Martial Arts were kneeling on the ground because of the powerful Holy Qi.

Silvermoon’s natural talent was much better than Purple Wind Emissary’s. However, after defecting from the Black Market, she had no choice but to make her own way—earning Spiritual Crystals through mercenary tasks in order to buy practice resources.

It was different for Purple Wind Emissary. He had the full support of the Black Market Excellence Hall. Not only could he obtain endless practice resources, but he was also able to perceive high-level martial techniques and had been personally instructed by a Saint.

That was why the two of them were so evenly matched. It was difficult to judge who was better.

“The battle between Silvermoon and Purple Wind Emissary will probably go on for a while. We should act quickly,” Zhang Ruochen said.

Red Wish Emissary acted first. Raising the holy crystal staff in her hand, the Holy Stone embedded in the holy staff immediately emitted a brilliant light.

She triggered the power of the holy staff to the extreme and shouted. “Colorless Illusory World.”

Immediately, a pale pink light shot out from the holy staff and enveloped Red Willow Heights entirely.

Only Zhang Ruochen, whose Spiritual Power had reached the 44th level, could see the pink light. As for the Evil Warriors whose Spiritual Power were lower than Red Wish Emissary’s, they could not see any light. A colorless and shapeless power of sorcery worked upon their bodies.
