Zhu Qingyi had fought Zhang Ruochen and Qing Mo before. She was clear about their true abilities. Without the formation, she could repress them with one hand. Thus, she didn’t act petty and let go of the two Saintesses.
Whoosh!
The two Saintesses walked past Zhang Ruochen, dragging their chains. They had grateful expressions.
The chains on them surged with the power of thunder and fire. They couldn’t even deactivate their Saintly Sources. If it wasn’t for the man before them, their results would have been very pitiful.
When the two Saintesses entered the Spatial Maze, Zhang Ruochen muttered something to Qing Mo.
Following his instructions, Qing Mo entered the Spatial Maze and took the Absolute Land Blood Saint out.
The moment they left the Spatial Maze, Blood Saint Miefeng and Zhu Qingyi attacked Qing Mo and Zhang Ruochen at the same time with lightning speed.
“I haven’t tasted a Spiritual Power Saint’s blood yet. Today, I’ll try with your taste.”
“You must pay when going against Immortal Vampires.”
These two were at the top of the Heaven Pass Realm. They only had to move to push abominable power out.
Zhang Ruochen and Qing Mo were like two ants before them. It was like their lives and fates were being controlled.
“Oh, no. The Immortal Vampire Saints are too lowly. They really went against their words.”
Standing in the Taoist temple, Martial Saint Canglan sensed something amiss. Her eyes darkened, thinking that Zhang Ruochen hadn’t thought carefully and would definitely run into misfortune. She jumped into the Spatial Maze and prepared to rush out to help.
Outside, Zhang Ruochen looked at the quickly incoming Zhu Qingyi without any fear. He just took a step back, crossing a few feet. He retreated into the Spatial Maze again.
Zhu Qingyi’s attack didn’t even get the corner of Zhang Ruochen’s clothes.
“How is this possible?” Zhu Qingyi was taken aback.
How could a Spiritual Power Saint be faster than her? A few feet was very close but still needed some time to cross. However, that human Spiritual Power Saint seemed to have used some technique to retreat into the Spatial Maze instantly.
On the other hand, Qing Mo was decisive too. She hit the Absolute Land Blood Saint’s back. She turned him into a shield, blocking Blood Saint Miefeng’s attack.
Then her little snow-white hands pushed forward, sending out a large mass of Wuliang Divine Fire. The world outside the temple turned into a sea of fire.
Wuliang Divine Fire could burn Saints. Who dared to touch it?
“A little girl can actually control Wuliang Divine Fire? Who exactly is she?”
“We can’t touch Wuliang Divine Fire. Step back immediately.”
The Blood Saints were all shocked. They hurriedly used physical techniques to retreat. Some stronger Blood Saints didn’t escape. They just used Thousand-pattern Saint Weapons to form protective lights and block the fire.
A mass of black Qi poured out of Zhu Qingyi. It transformed into a black cloud that could block the Wuliang Divine Fire.
Just then, she noticed that Zhang Ruochen, standing inside the formation, put his hands together and formed a hand print. He hit it toward the other two Saintesses.
“Great Capture Spell!” Zhang Ruochen yelled. Then he reached forward. A gust of Spiritual Power poured out.
An Absolute Land Blood Saint of the Motian Tribe gripped a skull sword. He activated the power within, forming white bone shadows. He was blocking the Wuliang Divine Fire.
While protecting himself, he was also guarding the two Saintesses.
These two remaining Saintesses stood fearfully in the center of a dozen white bone shadows. They hadn’t been chosen to be the exchanges, so they awaited their future hopelessly.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, the Absolute Land Blood Saint with the skull sword and the two Saintesses felt the world spin. The next moment, they were within the Spatial Maze.
Overjoyed, the two Saintesses hurried toward Zhang Ruochen.
The Absolute Land Blood Saint’s expression changed dramatically. He hurriedly grabbed the skull sword and cut down on the two Saintesses, dragging out long sword Qi. “No escaping,” he roared.
Zhang Ruochen pointed forward. The spatial structure within the maze changed instantly. The Absolute Land Blood Saint’s sword hit himself instead, creating a long bloody gash.
“You better obey after entering the formation,” Zhang Ruochen warned him. “Don’t attack randomly.”
The Absolute Land Blood Saint half-knelt on the ground. He gritted his teeth in hatred, but he didn’t dare to do anything. He sat cross-legged and pondered how to break the formation while healing.
The tides had turned instantly.
The four Saintesses were all rescued. On the other hand, the Immortal Vampires were in a bit of a panic. There was another Absolute Land Blood Saint trapped in the Spatial Maze.
Outside the temple, the Blood Saints were all furious. They screamed.
Blood Saint Miefeng was the most furious. He spat out strong wind, scattering the Wuliang Divine Fire. Then he yelled, “Who are you? How can you use such unbelievable tactics?”
“Great Capture Spell,” Zhu Qingyi murmured to herself.
The Great Capture Spell that the human Spiritual Power Saint had used had shocked the four Heaven Pass Blood Generals.
After calculating, they discovered that, even with their strong cultivations, they’d still be in trouble against the Great Capture Spell. They weren’t confident they could dodge it.
The so-called Great Capture Spell was only a random name that Zhang Ruochen had yelled to confuse them. It was actually just spatial power. By twisting space, he could pull people or objects in the distance to another point.
The Immortal Vampire Saints didn’t notice the changes in space. It wasn’t only because Zhang Ruochen’s attainments in space had reached a more advanced level. He’d also disguised it with Spiritual Power.
Only Spiritual Power Saints could detect Zhang Ruochen’s small actions.
Zhang Ruochen smiled at the Blood Saints outside the temple. Then he made a print as if he was going to use the Great Capture Spell.
All the Blood Saints, including Zhu Qingyi and Blood Saint Miefeng, retreated. They created a huge distance between them and the temple.
“Why are you so scared? Actually, we can continue our exchange.” Zhang Ruochen put his hands inside his sleeves. Glancing at the Blood Saint within the Spatial Maze, he said, “I’ll let him go as long as you hand over something I like.”
“You’re looking for death.” Blood Saint Miefeng was furious. He bared his sharp teeth, wishing he could eat Zhang Ruochen.
“No hurry. I’ll give you time to think.”
Zhang Ruochen brought the four Saintesses into the temple.
“Thank you for saving us, sir.”
The four Saintesses were crying tears of joy. It felt like they’d gone from Hell back to the world. They all bowed to Zhang Ruochen, viewing him as their savior.
“Sir, you’re so powerful. You could toy with four Heaven Pass Blood Generals. If news of this battle spreads, you’ll definitely be known throughout the north.”
Saintess Liuli bit her red lip. Her eyes glittered and her expression was filled with reverence. She seemed to have become a girl in love, without any of a Saint’s pride.
Saintess Yuansu’s expression was similar.
As officials beside the Empress, they’d seen many incredible figures. However, they only made them feel respect and fear. Standing before them gave off strong pressure.
Zhang Ruochen was different though. Not only did they feel respect, they even wanted to get closer to him.
Only Martial Saint Canglan remained clear-headed. Her starry eyes kept studying Zhang Ruochen. “Aren’t you so badly hurt that you can’t fight?” she asked coldly.
Zhang Ruochen coughed and looked tired. “There was no other choice. Hurry and heal. You can only break out when you’re completely healed. Hiding in here isn’t a solution. The Immortal Vampires may figure out how to break the formation at any time.”
With that, Zhang Ruochen had Qing Mo help him into a broken pavilion to rest.
Martial Saint Canglan didn’t plan on letting him go so easily. She flashed and blocked their path. “A strong figure like you can’t be unknown in Kunlun’s Field. Who are you? Why did you disguise yourself with Spiritual Power? What are you hiding?”
The six Saintesses felt awkward, thinking that the Martial Saint was being improper. The man had risked everything to save them just then. Wasn’t it impolite to demand to know his identity now?
Zhang Ruochen stared at Martial Saint Canglan’s features from a close distance. Her features were defined and her skin was like icy jade. He couldn’t see any pores. He could tell it was soft and smooth without even touching.
“I’m not hiding anything. I just think that we’re passing strangers. There’s no need to tell you my identity.”
Zhang Ruochen was already a bit disrespectful with these words. Martial Saint Canglan could see that he wasn’t happy, so she furrowed her brows. In the end, she suppressed her curiosity. She didn’t keep asking, so her strong personality wouldn’t completely offend the other.
However, she was quite interested in Zhang Ruochen. She felt that he must be important and decided to try and dig out his identity in the future.
Outside the temple, the Blood Saints took turns attacking the Spatial Maze. The surrounding mountains caved in dozens of meters, but they couldn’t damage the formation.
Blood Saint Miefeng pressured the Absolute Land Blood Saint within the Spatial Maze. In the end, he was forced to give in. Kneeling on the ground, he bowed to the north.
“Blood General, you must treat my tribesmen well.”
Despair, pain, and unwillingness appeared in the Blood Saint’s eyes. Then he deactivated his Saintly Source. His body broke into pieces. A terrifying destructive force swept outside.
With a boom, the entire mountain shook violently. The Spatial Maze shattered and even the temple was affected, breaking down further.
But shockingly, the temple wasn’t completely destroyed. It was like an invisible force was protecting it. Even the destructive power of an Absolute Land Saint’s suicide couldn’t move its foundation.
