Zhang Ruochen and Princess Luosha’s bodies hovered in the sky. Their feet were about a yard above the ground and they moved forward together.
Divine Fire Jingmie and Nanling Dragon Fire poured out of Zhang Ruochen and Princess Luosha respectively. The two types of fire were extremely terrifying, but they controlled it precisely. They used the fire only to melt the ice on either side of the gorge without activating the Supreme Saint runes.
While moving forward, Princess Luosha’s demonic eyes shone with rings of dark red light. She was studying the carvings on the stone wall.
Zhang Ruochen guessed Princess Luosha’s intentions. Using Spiritual Power for a telepathic message, he said, “A Saint won’t be able to understand a Supreme Saint’s mind world. A Saint won’t be able to understand a Supreme Saint’s carvings within a short period either.”
Clearly, Princess Luosha prepared to use the Supreme Saint runes against the Saints of Hell Blade Field. However, to Zhang Ruochen, no matter how advanced a Saint was in runes, they wouldn’t be able to control a Supreme Saint’s runes.
Unless they spent decades studying the runes deeply.
In the Lingxiao Heavenly King Mansion, Zhang Ruochen had been able to control the Supreme Saint rune formation only because he’d received the support of the Zhang Family ancestors. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to succeed at all.
Under the mask, Princess Luosha’s lips curled up. “Others can’t do it, but it might not be impossible for me. Anyway, you don’t have to do anything about Hell Blade Field. Leave it to me.”
Zhang Ruochen saw great confidence in Princess Luosha. It seemed that everything was under her control.
Fine!
He’d like to see what kind of world-changing abilities she had.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t waste time. He took out a treasure bottle and drank around 100 drops of Ning True Saint Dew. He activated a technique and started refining.
Whether it was the mysterious and advanced Luosha Princess or the vast Hell Blade Field, both gave Zhang Ruochen great pressure. This made him realize that he had to get stronger so he could solve problems without worry.
Su Qingling caught up. She appeared between Zhang Ruochen and Princess Luosha and demanded, “Aren’t you the Spiritual Flame Demonic Concubine, the Heir of the Great Devil Ten Square Field? You’re one of the strongest figures from the Shatuo Heaven Territory. How could you be afraid of Fang Yi? I wonder about your true identity.”
Princess Luosha looked very cold and arrogant. Su Qingling seemed to be an ignorant child in her eyes. Thus, she ignored Su Qingling and continued reading the Supreme Saint runes on the wall.
Su Qing hated Princess Luosha’s loftiness the most. Light flooded out of her saint sword. It was like she would stab forward and test if Princess Luosha really was as strong as the Spiritual Flame Demonic Concubine, testing her true identity.
Zhang Ruochen grabbed Su Qingling’s wrist. “Don’t disturb her. Give her some time.”
Su Qingling was very unhappy with Zhang Ruochen and even a bit disappointed. “Priest, Guanghan Field may be weaker than Hell Blade Field, but we don’t have to bow down to them either. Couldn’t you see that those guys from Hell Blade Field are just driving us away so we can die for them?”
She called Zhang Ruochen “Priest.” It was clear that she was already putting distance between them. She no longer saw him as a trustworthy friend and someone she looked up to.
Bu Ji’s expression was also cold. “You’re the Priest. We will listen to your orders, but your actions are quite disappointing.”
If they were strangers, Zhang Ruochen wouldn’t feel like saying anything.
However, they were the first two cultivators that Zhang Ruochen had met in the Heaven World who weren’t too bad. Even if they weren’t real friends, they were quite close.
“Did you only learn to be impulsive from Supreme Saint Manjian and Jiuling?” Zhang Ruochen asked. “You’re at the True Saint Realm, at least. You have to think before acting.”
“But this is too unbearable,” Bu Ji said. “We’ll die anyway, so why don’t we choose a more heroic death?”
“Who said we’ll die anyway?” Zhang Ruochen asked.
“With our cultivation, we can’t fend off fatal Supreme Saint runes,” Su Qingling said. “What will happen after coming in, other than dying?”
“Wait a bit before making a conclusion.”
Su Qingling and Bu Ji exchanged glances. They both had doubtful expressions.
Zhang Ruochen looked very calm and not at all like he was acting passively. Did he have a hidden trick?
After traveling seven or eight miles timidly, the icy current grew stronger. The group could only circulate the Holy Qi within them to fend off the cold.
Princess Luosha walked at the fore. She activated a Supreme Saint rune. Instantly, dense rune prints appeared all over the stone walls.
Rustle, rustle.
The icy Qi surged wildly like a flood, releasing terrible destructive power.
A Saint couldn’t fend off the Supreme Saint runes’ horrible power at all.
Zhang Ruochen hurriedly released a spatial domain. He cast the Spatial Twist with all his might, moving the incoming icy Qi elsewhere.
At the same time, Princess Luosha also used the Spatial Twist against the power from the runes.
They’d only activated one Supreme Saint rune, so the burst of power only lasted for three breaths before calming down.
Now, Su Qingling and Bu Ji both had shocked expressions. “You’re both spatial cultivators?”
“Any problems?” Princess Luosha rolled her eyes at them.
“Since you’re both spatial cultivators,” Su Qingling said. “There’s even less need to fear the Hell Blade Field Saints. Why did you give in to them?”
“Who told you that I gave in?” Princess Luosha asked.
“Did you not? Earlier, we’d only activated one rune and we almost died. It’ll only get more dangerous as we go forward. Even if you’re spatial cultivators, you might not be able to block it.”
Princess Luosha smiled. “I purposely activated that Supreme Saint rune just then. I wanted to test a hypothesis I had. I also wanted to test their strength.”
Su Qingling finally realized that this mysterious woman was definitely a dangerous figure. “What exactly do you want to do?” she asked.
“Nothing. Next, we’ll wait here.” Princess Luosha gazed toward the gorge’s entrance. Squinting, she murmured to herself, “The Saints of Hell Blade Field should have entered too, right?”
…
Outside the gorge, the Hell Blade Field Saints all sensed the destructive force from the activated Supreme Saint rune.
Nie Shan chuckled. “The Guanghan Field Saints must have died in there. Next, it’s time for us to explore that gorge personally.”
An Absolute Saint elder was a bit moved. “The Supreme Saint runes are frightening. This gorge is basically a land of death.”
“What are you afraid of? The Heir has the Heavenly Compass and will know dangers beforehand. We can avoid the Supreme Saint rune attacks as long as we follow in his steps.”
Fang Yi was indeed a top genius. He was strong physically and extraordinarily wise. He was probably one in a billion.
With his knowledge and the help of the Heavenly Compass, he actually figured out a pattern in the runes.
If he was given time, he was confident that he could move through the gorge.
“Let’s go.”
Holding the Heavenly Compass, Fang Yi stepped into the gorge first. The 100-some Hell Blade Field Saints followed him timidly.
Under Fang Yi’s guidance, they didn’t activate any Supreme Saint runes after going seven or eight miles. The Hell Blade Field Saints gained more confidence. Their hearts were filled with respect for Fang Yi.
Even the Supreme Saint runes weren’t too difficult for the Heir.
Suddenly, Fang Yi stopped. His eyes trained tightly on the Heavenly Compass. He discovered that the needle on the disc was trembling violently.
The harder it trembled, the bigger the danger.
Fang Yi had never seen the needle tremble so greatly before. “Oh, no!” he cried. “Retreat.”
The Hell Blade Field Saints didn’t know what had happened. But if the Heir became this nervous, they must’ve run into unprecedented danger.
Whoosh!
Rings of small ripples appeared in the air. Princess Luosha’s alluring figure walked out of the ripples. Smiling, she said, “Retreat? To where?”
Next, the Monument Shield embedded in the ice wall flew out.
The spatial crystal stone on the shield flashed. Then Zhang Ruochen, Qing Mo, Mu Lingxi, Bu Ji, Su Qingling, and the nine-headed bird walked out, blocking their exit.
Fang Yi’s eyes narrowed. Staring at Princess Luosha and Zhang Ruochen, he said, “Spatial cultivators.”
That moment, the Hell Blade Field Saints realized they’d miscalculated. Two spatial cultivators had actually appeared suddenly.
“You cultivators still have some value,” Princess Luosha said. “It’s a waste to kill you directly. How about… You test the path before us. I’ll spare whoever can survive.”
“What are you saying? You want us to walk to our deaths? Do you even know your place?”
Nie Shan couldn’t stand this. Huffing coldly, he picked up his golden sword and cut down with a long trail of light.
He was only in the middle of the Absolute Saint Realm, but his power was comparable to a half-step Saint King.
“The one who doesn’t know their place is you.”
Princess Luosha extended two fingers and pointed at the stone wall, activating a Supreme Saint rune.
The icy Qi inside the gorge instantly started shaking violently. The rune’s destructive force exploded, forming many whirlpools. They swept toward the Hell Blade Field Saints.
Boom.
Nie Shan was the first to get swept into the vortex. He only lasted for the span of a breath. Then all his defensive runes were shattered. His body exploded, turning into a cloud of blood.
Someone comparable to a half-step Saint King was like an ant before Princess Luosha. She killed him easily.
Boom, boom.
The Hell Blade Field Saints kept crying out in pain.
In the span of three short breaths, more than 30 Saints with advanced cultivations were killed. They were defenseless against the Supreme Saint runes.
Seeing this, Su Qingling and Bu Ji both felt chills. They finally realized just how terrifying Princess Luosha was.
She was practically a demon.
