Chapter 2540: Recapture The Three Supreme Saints

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

It was unknown whether Zhang Ruochen had offended the clans in the Royal City of Hundred Clans too much these days. Even though Zhang Ruochen was on the weaker side, he still attracted criticism even though he had defeated the aggressive Que Shenzi.

No one thought that Zhang Ruochen wanted to resolve the conflict with the Fane of Death.

No one thought that what Zhang Ruochen said to Que Shenzi was from the bottom of his heart.

Instead, they thought that Zhang Ruochen was deliberately humiliating Que Shenzi. Every word contained ridicule, threats, ridicule, and sarcasm. He made the dignified deity, who was at the peak of the Banshi Isshou Realm, lose all dignity.

“Zhang Ruochen is too hateful. He won. He’s mighty, but he doesn’t have the grace of a Yuanhui-level genius to tease Que Shenzi like this.”

“Yeah, I can’t stand that sentence. You don’t even have a Supreme Artifact? Listen to how arrogant you are. Do you think you are great and powerful, owning a few Supreme Artifacts?”

Many cultivators nodded in agreement.

“A first-class Supreme Saint of the Deathkin has become Zhang Ruochen’s prisoner. He might really be forced to learn Buddhism and Paths. That’s terrible!”

“What’s the difference between this and forcing a human to feed on human blood like the Immortal Vampires?”

“I’m afraid Que Shenzi would rather die than be humiliated like this.”

One of the Supreme Saints shouted, “Why does the Supreme Saint Ruochen have to humiliate Que Shenzi like this? It’s better to give him a quick death.”

“That’s right! The winner is the king, and the loser is the bandit. The Supreme Saint can be killed but not humiliated.”

“If Supreme Saint Ruochen doesn’t dare to kill Que Shenzi, please let him go immediately. If you want to kill him, be straightforward. If you continue to put on airs, it will only make us cultivators feel disgusted.”

…

More and more cultivators supported Que Shenzi.

However, everyone knew Zhang Ruochen couldn’t let Que Shenzi go. Therefore, most of them encouraged Zhang Ruochen to kill Que Shenzi directly to prevent him from being humiliated again.

Que Shenzi was so scared that his back felt cold, and his scalp went numb. He cursed all the observing cultivators’ families in his heart.

How could he not be afraid?

The person in front of him was Zhang Ruochen.

There was no cultivator in the world that Zhang Ruochen didn’t dare to kill.

So what if he was humiliated? As long as he could escape, there would always be a time for him to regain his face.

If Zhang Ruochen suddenly became angry out of humiliation and killed him, he wouldn’t have a chance to come back. How unjust was his death?

SWOOSH! SWOOSH!

The Supreme Saints of the Fane of Death flew down from the tower and occupied the entire street.

They were all emitting evil death light. They approached Zhang Ruochen from the front and back of the long street.

The cultivators watching the battle made way.

“Let go of Que Shenzi. Otherwise, this street will be your burial ground.” Yuan Benji, full of imposing manners and pointed at Zhang Ruochen.

The hostage was in Zhang Ruochen’s hands. Although the Fane of Death had many powerful figures, they didn’t dare to act rashly.

Zhang Ruochen frowned deeply, “Que Shenzi and I had an agreement,” he said. “Let’s settle this once and for all. Now, the victor has been decided. No matter how big the grudge between the Fane of Death and me is, it’s time to settle it! Everyone, please leave. I don’t want to fight again today.”

“Let go of Que Shenzi first,” Supreme Saing Yuan Fei said. “Then we can talk about other things.”.

Zhang Ruochen shook his head. “The grudge between Que Shenzi and me hasn’t been resolved yet. I can’t let him go yet.”

Que Shenzi quickly said, “There’s… There’s no grudge anymore. I… I admit defeat. The victor has been decided. Let’s fight to resolve it.”

Suppressed by the Curse of Dark and Light, his mouth couldn’t open. He couldn’t speak clearly.

Zhang Ruochen patted his shoulder. His eyes were sincere. “No,” he said. “You’re not convinced. You still hate me. You want to kill me. Hatred is the root of all evil. Que Shenzi, you are still too stubborn.”

Que Shenzi couldn’t pretend anymore. He gritted his teeth. His face was twisted and cold.

Another humiliation!

Yuan Benji’s eyes widened with rage. “So what if you have a hostage, Zhang Ruochen? Do you think we won’t attack?”

Que Shenzi’s expression changed. He shook his head at the Supreme Saints of the Fane of Death.

Yuan Benji stared at Que Shenzi. “Don’t worry, Que Shenzi. I don’t believe Zhang Ruochen would dare to kill you. Today, the powerhouses of the Fane of Death won’t stop until we kill him.”

Que Shenzi’s expression became even worse. He hated Yuan Benji.

Yuan Benji had already stated that he wanted to kill Zhang Ruochen. Under such circumstances, how could Zhang Ruochen not dare to kill him? Yuan Benji had clearly given up on him.

Que Shenzi decided that if he was lucky enough to survive today, he would find a way to kill Yuan Benji after returning to the Fane of Death.

SLAP!

Zhang Ruochen patted Que Shenzi’s shoulder again and said, “How can I kill you, Que Shenzi? There should be someone with a big heart in the world. How can the world tolerate an enemy that can’t even tolerate one?”

Many cultivators, including Yan Zhexian and Lian Xi, scoffed.

…

The Supreme Saint of the Fane of Death agreed to let Que Shenzi fight alone for two reasons. First, he was so powerful that he was certain of victory.

Secondly, behind Zhang Ruochen stood the powerful figures who had shocked the world, such as the Wargod Bloodximius, Fukurokuju, and Luo Yan. If the Fane of Death attacked and killed Zhang Ruochen together, the Wargod Bloodximius would definitely be angry.

However, if Que Shenzi attacked alone, what if he killed Zhang Ruochen?

If the Wargod Bloodximius took revenge on the Fane of Death, he would only be laughed at by the gods of the Fane of Death.

Third, Que Shenzi had an extraordinary position in the Fane of Death. Everyone was giving in humbly. They wanted him to defeat Zhang Ruochen and become famous by stepping on the geniuses of the Yuanhui level.

But who knew that Que Shenzi was such a good-for-nothing, which made the Fane of Death lose a lot of faces.

To save face, the Fane of Death had to take down Zhang Ruochen even if they had to fight one more time.

Yuan Benji ignored Que Shenzi’s murderous gaze and ordered, “Attack.”

The four White Reapers surrounding Zhang Ruochen attacked first.

The precepts and evil death qi surged out from their bodies at the same time. Then the overwhelming sword qi slashed toward Zhang Ruochen.

Que Shenzi’s face was ashen. He knew that he wouldn’t be able to escape today. He closed his eyes.

Whoosh

Ignoring the sword qi, Zhang Ruochen pressed his palm on Que Shenzi’s chest. Spatial ripples burst out from his palm. Que Shenzi’s body disappeared. The next moment, he entered the Sevenstar Imperial Palace’s defensive array and fell under Lian Xi’s feet.

Que Shenzi was stunned. He looked at Zhang Ruochen in disbelief.

The four White Reapers were all cultivators in the mid and late stages of the Banshi Isshou Realm. They had cultivated at least 30 million precepts.

Crack Crack

Zhang Ruochen had already activated the Armor of the Fire God and released the Zangshan Demonic Mirror.

Even if the sword qi pierced through the Supreme Power’s defensive layer formed by Zangshan Demonic Mirror, its power had been greatly reduced. It only created sparks when it landed on the Armor of the Fire God.

Yuan Benji gritted his teeth and said, “Zhang Ruochen has the Supreme Artifact protecting him. He has to be attacked at a very close distance to break through his defense.”

The four White Reapers instantly formed a killing array of swords. Four death phantoms appeared behind them.

The power of the four seemed to be one. The strength of their Qi was even stronger than Que Shenzi.

WHOOSH!

A white shadow flew above Zhang Ruochen’s head. Raising the sword with both hands, it slashed out a river of swords.

A second white shadow rushed out from behind Zhang Ruochen and slashed horizontally.

The space around the edge of the sword shook.

A third white shadow came from the front. The sword light was brighter than the light from a star. All the cultivators below the Supreme Saint level were bleeding from their eyes.

The fourth white shadow stood still. However, the Class Three Regal Artifact in his hand flew out. It turned into a bone dragon and circled to Zhang Ruochen’s right.

The four White Reapers attacked almost at the same time. Each attack seemed to be a joint effort of four people.

“What a terrifying sword formation. The four White Reapers seem to be one but can attack separately.”

“The Fane of Death really wants to kill Zhang Ruochen!”

Yan Huangtu, Yan Zhexian, Pan Ruo, Xuan Zehai, and Xuan Qingying all held their breaths and stared at the brilliant battle circle.

Que, who had been calm all this time, looked solemn. He said, “It’s a class four sword formation.”

Rumble

Zhang Ruochen’s figure disappeared.

The four fatal moves performed by the four White Reapers all struck the air.

Among them, the two who attacked from the front and the back were the most dangerous. They almost killed each other. Fortunately, they both had strong cultivation and amazing reaction ability. They returned their swords in time to defend.

The two swords collided, and the two White Reapers were thrown in the opposite direction.

The Supreme Saints of the Fane of Death were all dumbfounded. They could not believe that Zhang Ruochen could still use the Great Dimensional Shift to escape under such circumstances.

Being suppressed by the Precept Domain of the four Banshi Isshou Realm Supreme Saints and trapped in the killing array of swords, Zhang Ruochen naturally could not use the Great Dimensional Shift.

So, he hid in the Violet Gourd.

SWOOSH!

Zhang Ruochen rushed out of the Violet Gourd and whispered, “Curse of Dark and Light!”

A White Reaper, who was three steps away, was cursed before he could react. Like Que Shenzi, he could not move.

Zhang Ruochen waved his hand and sent him into the Sevenstar Imperial Palace.

“Curse of Dark and Light!”

The second White Reaper was cursed. He froze there as if he had been petrified.

Zhang Ruochen kicked him and sent him into the Sevenstar Imperial Palace.

“Curse of Dark and Light!”

The third White Reaper was imprisoned. Zhang Ruochen struck him with his palm and sent him into the Sevenstar Imperial Palace.

Because Zhang Ruochen had released the Null Time realm and was fast enough, he shouted three Curse of Dark and Lights almost simultaneously. The Supreme Saints of the Fane of Death couldn’t stop him in time.

Just as Zhang Ruochen was about to shout the fourth Curse of Light and Dark, Yuan Benji shouted, “Silence!”

The sound of rushing wind came. A palm-sized jade sword flew toward his heart like a spiritual snake.

The Zangshan Demonic Mirror flew back by itself and turned into a heart protection mirror.

BANG!

The jade sword hit the mirror’s surface, ringing loudly. Zhang Ruochen was thrown out directly.

Yuan Benji’s attack had succeeded. He was delighted and pushed out his right hand. He mobilized even more power and added it to the jade sword, a Class Six Regal Artifact.

The Zangshan Demonic Mirror flashed and swallowed the jade sword.

Zhang Ruochen landed on the ground and steadied himself. He turned his head and found that he had returned to the Sevenstar Imperial Palace’s defensive array and was stepping on the stairs.

Yuan Benji was stunned. He realized that the connection with the jade sword had disappeared!

It wasn’t an ordinary item. It was a Class Six Regal Artifact with the potential to advance to a Supreme Artifact. It was worth tens of thousands of Godstones.

Yuan Benji recovered quickly and surrounded the Sevenstar Imperial Palace with the Supreme Saints of the Fane of Death.

This time, they didn’t dare to act rashly. After all, Zhang Ruochen had already captured four Banshi Isshou Realm Supreme Saints. If they forced Zhang Ruochen and killed them all, the consequences would be serious!

All the cultivators watching the battle were stunned. They had never expected that the previously cowardly and weak Zhang Ruochen would be able to make the Fane of Death suffer so much.

Was It all an act?

Deliberately showing weakness to the enemy?

Despicable!

Many cultivators cursed Zhang Ruochen in low voices, thinking he was sinister and shameless.

Zhang Ruochen stood on the steps of the Sevenstar Imperial Palace. He was sick of it. What’s wrong with them? Why do they have such a prejudice against me?

I’m the weak one. I’m being targeted by a large group of elites from the Fane of Death .

I’m treating people with the most extraordinary kindness. I’m willing to make peace with the Fane of Death. Why can’t you see that?

Ah, forget it. Why care about other people’s misunderstandings? As long as I have a clear conscience, it’s okay.

The emperor of the Terra Demons, Xuan Disha, came nearby accompanied by a group of elders. Xuan Zehai and Xuan Qingying immediately went to pay their respects.

Xuan Disha’s face was old, and his hair was white. He wore a purple jade brocade robe and a holy crown, but he was still full of energy. He looked at Zhang Ruochen, standing on the steps of the Sevenstar Imperial Palace. He said, “A young hero. I’m afraid Zhang Ruochen’s spiritual power has reached the 68th level.”

Xuan Qingying couldn’t believe it. She said in surprise, “How is this possible? Very few Supreme Saints can cultivate their spiritual power to the 68th level.”

Xuan Disha narrowed his eyes and smiled. “If he didn’t have such spiritual power, how could Zhang Ruochen easily curse four Banshi Isshou Realm Supreme Saints? Besides, he must have relied on his powerful spiritual power to be able to use the Supreme Artifact and the mysterious saintwill at his will. At the same time, he should be able to use the power of the Demigod-level physique more rationally.”

The emperor of the Terra Demons had lived for almost 30,000 years. His spiritual power was mighty.

Naturally, everyone believed his judgment.

Looking at Zhang Ruochen again, Xuan Qingying’s eyes became much more complicated. However, they quickly became disdainful and disdainful. If he was so powerful, why did he pretend to be timid?

He didn’t have the demeanor of a superior at all.

Xuan Zehai asked, “My lord, why did you leave the sacred ground and come here?”

“Someone asked me to resolve the conflict here and help Zhang Ruochen get out,” Xuan Disha said.

Xuan Zehai’s heart moved, and he heard something profound.

He heard the word “asked” and not “invite”.

Didn’t that mean that the cultivator who helped Zhang Ruochen was at least on the same level as the emperor? It was even possible that his cultivation or status was higher than the emperor’s.

Moreover, the Terra Demons would have to pay a heavy price to take Zhang Ruochen away from the Fane of Death.

Xuan Disha smiled and said, “Since the cultivators of all clans can’t get Zhang Ruochen to help, I will help him personally. I hope he will give me some face!”
