Chapter 2052 - Han Xue Strikes Again

Chapter 2052: Han Xue Strikes Again

Mosheng hovered in the air, looking at the damaged Blade of the Voracious Wolf in disbelief.

He had tried his best and performed his most powerful move in the battle. But he still lost. Zhang Ruochen had seized two Demonstone Engravings and severely injured him.

Such an outcome was undoubtedly a blow to Mosheng, as if he was pushed down from heaven into hell.

When the news spreads, he would surely become a laughingstock, while Zhang Ruochen would become famous. He had sacrificed himself for Zhang Ruochen. It felt ironic when thinking about it.

While thinking, Mosheng’s eyes were on Zhang Ruochen. How could he be reconciled to this humiliating defeat?

Of course, he could see that Zhang was over-exhausted and not much better than him, judging by his irregular breathing.

But he still feared the Zangshan Demonic Mirror that hovered above Zhang Ruochen. It was the Zangshan Demonic Mirror that caused him to lose two Demonstone Engravings.

It could be said that the biggest variable in this battle was the Zangshan Demonic Mirror. Otherwise, he would have never lost.

Besides, Mosheng was not sure if Zhang Ruochen still had other tricks up his sleeve. The outcome would be unpredictable if they continued with the battle.

With that thought in mind, Mosheng had no choice but to fight back his anger and put up an indifferent face. “You have got superb skill with lots of tricks up your sleeve, Zhang Ruochen. I lost. But I promise I will take back the Demonstone Engravings someday.”

After that, Mosheng was about to return to the Blackdemon Realm camp.

He needed to heal his injuries first. There was no hurry to attack the Sect of the Blood God for now.

“I’m afraid you won’t have that chance again.” Zhang Ruochen had a killer look in his eyes.

“What do you want, Zhang Ruochen?” Mosheng’s eyes looked frosty

“Where do you think you are? The Sect of the Blood God is not a place where you can come and go as you please,” said Zhang Ruochen with a frosty voice.

He would not let Mosheng leave just like that with such a wonderful opportunity.

Killing Mosheng would set an example for those who were thinking of targeting the Sect of the Blood God and make a point.

Anyone who wanted to target the Sect of the Blood God would have to think twice from now on.

There was a killer look in Mosheng’s eyes when he heard what Zhang Ruochen said. “You want to kill me? At first, I was thinking of letting you live for a few more days. I will kill you since you are asking for it.”

He was not afraid of Zhang Ruochen despite being injured. More so because he now had a chance to redeem himself.

Immediately, he swallowed a healing pill and performed a demonic technique. A ferocious energy emanated from him as the phantom of a hideous wolf appeared behind him.

He, Mosheng, was not a weakling, even though he had lost two Demonstone Engravings.

Zhang Ruochen remained still, but the Zangshan Demonic Mirror floating above him was moving. Hundreds of thousands of Supreme Inscriptions appeared, forming into circles of Supreme Power as he struck at Mosheng with no hesitation.

“Huh?”

Mo Sheng’s expression changed slightly. He was surprised that Zhang Ruochen still had the strength to drive the Zangshan Demonic Mirror to such a level.

He immediately struck with the Blade of the Voracious Wolf, performing three slashing moves in quick succession.

Boom!

The Supreme Power was blocked and annihilated as a wicked and overpowering blade light cut through the air and struck at Zhang Ruochen’s neck.

The neck was still the most vulnerable part of the body, even with the Armor of the Fire God’s protection.

A graceful shadow lunged out of Zhang Ruochen’s spine, grabbing the Zangshan Demonic Mirror and blocking in front of Zhang Ruochen.

Countless intertwining demonic inscriptions emerged on the surface of the Zangshan Demonic Mirror and bounced the blade light back at the moment of contact.

Sha graceful shadow was no one else but Moyin, the Saint Devourer.

“Too bad. Saint Devourer is still too weak for me. She can’t save you, Zhang Ruochen,” said Mosheng.

While speaking, Mosheng made his move by lunging at Zhang Ruochen. He did not take Moyin seriously.

She is only a Heaven’s Reach cultivator and would not pose a threat to him even if she held a Supreme Artifact.

A violent vibration shocked the void, tearing open a black crack of hundreds of yards long. Just then, a fleeting shadow lunged out from within and struck with a sword with a burst of white sword light aiming straight at Mosheng’s head.

Mo Sheng stopped in his tracks and frantically swung his blade to parry the sword light.

Baroom!

After a brief clash, Mosheng lunged backward as casting his eyes on the person wielding the sword.

“It’s you.” Mosheng squinted with a strange look in his eyes.

The person who tore open the dimension was none other than Han Xue.

Relying on the Void Sword’s ability to cross the void, she traveled thousands of miles in the blink of an eye to stop Mosheng.

“You are defeated by my master and are not qualified to be his opponent, Mosheng,” said Han Xue in an icy voice.

But Mosheng was not angry. “That’s the real successor of Empress of Thousand Bones. You are cocky. I might as well capture you first, and then only kill Zhang Ruochen.”

“I’m afraid you can’t.” Han Xue stood with the sword in her hand like a snow lotus, exuding a nerve-wracking cold energy.

Han Xue wielded the Void Sword and struck without saying anything further.

Mosheng seemed calm, but he was facing Han Xue squarely. She was Empress of Thousand Bones’ successor. No one knew how powerful she was.

The Blade of the Voracious Wolf swung with powerful bursts of sword Qi, forming a massive sword field that covered a radius of a hundred miles.

Let’s see what you have got. Mosheng thought to himself.

Boom!

Han Xue wielded her sword and lunged into the sword field. She was unstoppable, as if a goddess of war.

The Void Sword had been revived. And right now, a huge number of Supreme Inscriptions appeared on it. The Supreme Inscription released a powerful Supreme Power, cutting open the sword field in an instant.

Han Xue was formidable and had come in front of Mosheng in the blink of an eye.

Mosheng was shocked. He parried with the Blade of the Voracious Wolf while quickly retreating.

Han Xue’s attack was ferocious and caught Mosheng off guard. She was much stronger than when she fought Crone Yinfan.

There was no doubt that Han Xue had deliberately held back in her previous battle. What she was displaying now was her actual strength.

Zhang Ruochen was surprised and also glad to see Han Xue had gotten the upper hand while Mosheng was losing ground.

Zhang Ruochen stopped thinking about it and started to perform an Empyrean Emperor Ming’s Scripture with all his strength to restore the exhausted saint Qi.

The battle was far from over. He must recover as soon as possible.

The Blackdemon Realm camp was in an uproar when they saw Mosheng and Han Xue fighting each other.

Zhuo Gu took a step forward and clenched the Purple Gold Demonic Spear in his hand. “Wipe out the Sect of the Blood God! Take no prisoners!”

The cultivators from the Darkdemon Realm released a powerful aura as they swept toward the Sect of the Blood God like a tsunami.

The Blackdemon Realm had an absolute advantage in numbers. As long as Mosheng could keep Zhang Ruochen busy, they would slaughter everyone in the Sect of the Blood God in no time.

There were vociferous battle cries with thousands of Saint Kings going at it at once. Demonic clouds formed in the sky, as if the demon world’s gate opened and great demons brought disaster to the world.

And this was only a small part of the Saint Kings of Darkdemon Realm, which was one of the 1,000 most powerful realms in Celestial Court. They were truly terrifying.

This was something Kunlun Realm could still not pull off—gathering so many Saint Kings with its current level of strength.

In the case of the Sect of the Blood God, it had produced a pathetic number of Saint Kings despite having its cultivators undergone closed-door cultivation for ten years with the help of the Sundial. Its number was not even a fraction of what Darkdemon Realm had.

But despite knowing the huge strength imbalance, no one wimped out. They all vowed to stick with the Sect of the Blood God.

“Kill those demons, never let them take anything from the Sect of the Blood God.”

Sun Dadi raised his arms and shouted, his body spurting with flames and a violent aura.

The fighting spirit of all the saints of the Sect of the Blood God soared. They were not afraid to fight Darkdemon Realm to the death.

Du Mosheng and Pei Linhu exchanged a glance, both of them having a complicated look in their eyes. If not absolutely necessary, they did not want to fight Darkdemon Realm.

Just that it was not up to them. They had been planted with the Blood God’s Curse. Their fate was in Zhang Ruochen’s hands.

Of course, they knew better that there was no turning back and the only way was going forward since they had chosen to betray Darkdemon Realm.

Now they and the Sect of the Blood God were in the same boat. It would not end up well for them if the Sect of the Blood God was destroyed.

Fighting to the end was the only way to live.

“Let’s do it!”

Luo Chen held the Hidden Moon Saber and lunged out first.

His injury, which had almost healed thanks to the Spring of Life, would not affect him much in the battle.

Luo Chen was fast and blocked Zhuo Gu from coming any nearer.

In the previous battle, he only wanted to seize the Demonstone Engravings by using clever strategy. But now he could fight Zhuo Gu to his heart’s content.

“Anyone who stands in my way will die.”

Zhuo Gu roared in anger, swinging the Purple Gold Demonic Spear before striking at Luo Chen.

He could not be reconciled to the fact that Luo Chen had snatched the Demonstone Engravings from him with tricks. It was time to settle the score with Luo Chen now.

Seeing Luo Chen had made his move, others did not want to be left behind and joined the fray.

Before he arrived, Jin Yu had already fired a golden arrow.

The arrow was glowing in a golden light, piercing through the air like a roc. It flew at extreme speed, aiming straight at Zuo Li. Earlier, Zuo Li had also suffered a humiliating defeat at the hands of Blackie.

“You have a death wish!”

Zuo Li’s eyes looked sharp, and an enormous amount of mysterious water appeared and turned into a vast ocean around his body.

A black dragon lunged out of the ocean at the incoming arrow with a roar.

On the other side, Bao Lie’s body flickered with light and transformed into a three-eyed nebula leopard. He leaped into the air and pounced at Luo Yu, who had escaped from Zhang Ruochen.

Luo Yu frowned. He quickly performed a demonic technique to form demonic zither. Using his fingers, he played the zither and released waves of sound to stop Bao Lie.

A few powerful cultivators of Path’s Anterior from Darkdemon Realm were all restrained in an instant.

Mu Lingxi did not sit idly by, either. She activated her Power of the Bloodline and performed a Spirit Call, stopping several powerful cultivators of Path’s Anterior from Darkdemon Realm, including Crone Yinfan, whose injury had mostly healed.

Just as Du Mosheng, Pei Linhu, and He Yuan were about to attack the Nine-Step Saint Kings of Blackdemon Realm, Blackie suddenly flew up in front of them.

Blackie raised his leg and struck out a beam of formation seal several hundred yards in diameter. The formation seal was suspended in the air and engulfed the incoming group of Nine-Step Saint Kings up ahead.

Following that, Blackie cast out seven black formation flags to form a Seven-star Heaven’s Blockade Formation. The formation sealed off a radius of thousands of miles, trapping all the Nine-step Saint Kings from Blackdemon Realm in it.

Not even Zuo Li could defeat this Seven-star Heaven’s Blockade Formation, let alone these Nine-Step Saint Kings.

Just as Blackie was about to continue to bash those weaker Saint Kings of Darkdemon Realm, wind and clouds in a radius of thousands of miles were surging violently. Thick thunderclouds started to form in the sky, releasing a destructive energy and depressing air.

“It seems that I don’t have to do anything now,” Blackie whispered.

Tenggu, who was kneeling on the ground, looked grave when he saw the thick thunderclouds in the sky.

How could he not recognize it? This was Zhang Ruochen’s thunder technique.

He and Luo Yu had joined hands before this, thinking that they could defeat Zhang Ruochen. Little did they expect that Zhang Ruochen was using this overpowering thunder spell to strike them, almost burning them into coke.

There was fear in the eyes of the hundreds of Saint Kings kneeling together with Tenggu. They all had suffered great mental trauma from Zhang Ruochen’s thunder spell earlier.

Zzzzzzzzzz-pang!

A cluster of silver thunderbolts struck down from the sky, aiming straight at the Saint King of Blackdemon Realm below. It looked as if the end had come.

“Aah!”

Screams rose in tandem.

Many of the weaker Darkdemon Realm Saint Kings suffered severe injuries and fell from mid-air, their fate unknown.

There was a panic inside Blackdemon Realm camp. People were running with their hands covering their heads.

The cultivators on the Sect of the Blood God’s side gasped at seeing this. They all stopped in their tracks, not daring to come closer.

“Capture all the injured!” Zhang Ruochen’s voice rang in their ears just as Du Mosheng and other demonic cultivators were gasping in shock.

“Yes, Grand Master!”

Du Mosheng and others came out of their shock and quickly did as told.

It was apparent that those Saint Kings of Darkdemon Realm falling out of the sky were still alive. The thunderbolts did not kill, but just injure them. Otherwise, Zhang Ruochen would not have needed to tell them to do this.

Annihilation Thunder was a wide-range attacking spell. With Zhang Ruochen’s current spiritual strength, not even Path’s Anterior cultivators could withstand this spell, let alone a group of Saint Kings, who had not even attained Nine-Step Saint Kinghood.

“Damn it! How come Zhang Ruochen’s thunder spell is so powerful?”

Zhuo Gu looked grave. He was nervous when he saw his men had been struck and injured by lightning.

They would quickly lose their advantage in numbers if this continued.

And the situation will undoubtedly be extremely unfavorable for them by then.

Besides, Zhang Ruochen and his disciples were not the only powerhouses in the Sect of the Blood God. The unfathomable array master was also posing a grave threat.

Unless Mosheng could quickly end the battle and kill Zhang Ruochen and Han Xue, the battle situation might become unfavorable for them if this dragged on.

But the question was, were Zhang Ruochen and Han Xue so easy to kill?
