Pei Ji did not know that Zhang Ruochen had long ago activated his Space Domain.
In the Space Domain, his every movement was within his control.
It looked like the Bluewater Dragon Patterned Sword was about to come crashing down on his head. A sinister smile glimmered at the corner of Pei Ji’s mouth. Everything was going to end!
However, in the next moment, his smile froze.
He did not know what happened. The entire space seemed to have become frozen.
His movements stopped completely.
Zhang Ruochen, however, was not affected and moved to the right. He struck out quickly with a palm and executed the sixth palm of the Dragon and Elephant Prajna Palm, Divine Dragon’s Steal.
Streaks of lightning surged out from his palm forming a dragon shadow that struck Pei Ji in the chest.
PFFT!
Pei Ji’s chest caved in slightly. He spat out a mouthful of fresh blood as he flew backward.
When masters fought, it was like this. Even the slightest mistake would immediately determine victory.
Normally, given Pei Ji’s strength, even if he was not as good as Zhang Ruochen, he should still have been able to resist for hundreds of strikes. It was a pity that Zhang Ruochen had executed a Space Freezing halting his movement.
In that brief moment, Pei Ji’s defeat was decided.
The Orange Star Emissary and the eight Glazed Knights did not know Zhang Ruochen had used the power of space either. They only saw Zhang Ruochen’s strike send Pei Ji flying back, once again injuring Pei Ji heavily.
In front of Zhang Ruochen, the 41st master on the Heaven Board was just like a child. He was absolutely no match for him.
“It’s impossible… impossible… how could he be so powerful…”
Pei Ji wiped away the blood at the corner of his mouth feeling very dissatisfied. He placed one hand on the ground and used the power of recoil to stand once more.
It was not easy even for a top 10 master on the Heaven Board to defeat him. How was Zhang Ruochen able to?
Suddenly, his vision blurred, and a streak of sword radiance chopped towards his neck.
Pei Ji was shocked. All the hairs on his body stood on end. He quickly sent out the power of the Bluewater Dragon Patterned Sword and blocked it.
Zhang Ruochen had struck with all his strength; Pei Ji had blocked hastily. Immediately, the relative superiority was decided.
BOOM!
Pei Ji could only feel that everything in front of his eyes was sword Qi. A gigantic pressure pushed down forcing him to take a step back to dissolve it.
Zhang Ruochen’s struck again and again. His clever sword movements followed one after the other forcing Pei Ji to react with confusion without any power to set up an attack.
Pei Ji’s realm in sword technique was not high to start with, yet he insisted on fighting Zhang Ruochen with the sword. Of course, he was no match.
However, if he did not use the Bluewater Dragon Patterned Sword how could he block the Holy Weapon, the Abyss Ancient Sword?
He would probably have died even quicker.
“Now that he has broken through the realm, Zhang Ruochen is truly too terrifying. If I don’t break into the Fish-dragon Realm I am not a match for him. It looks like I have to break into the realm today.”
Pei Ji’s intention changed, and a glimmer of viciousness flashed in his eyes.
CLANG!
The ear-piercing sound of swords clashed and an eye-catching sword radiance broke into the sky.
Pei Ji pressed against his sword with both hands. He held the Bluewater Dragon Patterned Sword horizontally and clashed it against the tip of the Abyss Ancient Sword. The Bluewater Dragon Patterned Sword curved backwards into a sword-bow.
BOOM!
The sword-bow shot out and Pei Ji flew backwards at a very high speed. He landed more than 33 meters away.
Pei Ji found his footing. His shoulders were numb, so he quickly moved his Genuine Qi to heal the heavy injuries his shoulders had taken.
“Zhang Ruochen, I have to admit, you are indeed worthy of your title as the king of the younger generation. However, if you want to defeat me, that is impossible.”
Pei Ji took out a red Pill the size of a pigeon egg and held it between two fingers, “This is a Half-Saint Blood Pill. I was going to wait until I had reached a bottle-neck to use it but for that Dragon Pearl of yours, it is worth it to take it now.”
The Half-Saint Blood Pill was made using Half-Saint blood. Not only did it contain powerful Spiritual Blood it also had some of the Half-Saint’s Saint Power. For Immortal Vampires, it was a supreme elixir.
Pei Ji was prepared to take the Half-Saint Blood Pill to break into the Fish-dragon Realm.
If he could reach the First Change in the Fish-dragon Realm, his strength was sure to increase considerably. He would soon be able to kill Zhang Ruochen and steal the Dragon Pearl.
“No, I cannot let him break into the Fish-dragon Realm.”
Zhang Ruochen did not hesitate. He immediately executed Space Moving and appeared in front of Pei Ji. He struck out quickly with his sword towards his right hand, wanting to steal the pill.
Pei Ji immediately executed the Shadow of the Nine Star Step. He dissolved into a phantom and nine Shadows and quickly retreated.
He changed places nine times in a row. Thinking he had thrown Zhang Ruochen off, he prepared to take the Half-Saint Blood Pill.
PFFT!
A bloody sword pierced through the back of his neck and came out from his mouth.
“Uh…”
The Half-Saint Blood Pill was near Pei Ji’s mouth but in the end, he did not manage to take it. Pei Ji took one last look at the sword coming through his mouth and his entire body shivered.
Just a little bit more, a little bit more…
In his final struggle, Pei Ji condensed all the power in his body and frantically struck out behind him. He planned to take Zhang Ruochen to the grave with him.
BOOM!
Pei Ji’s palm power left a crater more than 10 meters wide in the ground behind him. The ground around the crater cracked and split.
However, Zhang Ruochen’s strike had been with a Sword Defending Technique and he had pierced Pei Ji’s neck through space. He was not actually standing behind Pei Ji. Pei Ji’s final strike before his death did not harm him at all.
Zhang Ruochen swung his sleeve and shook off the dust that surged his way.
SWOOSH!
He extended his hand and the Abyss Ancient Sword once again landed in his hand.
“I… am… not satisfied…”
Pei Ji watched as Zhang Ruochen walked closer and closer. His eyes bulged out and he wanted to strike again. Unfortunately, the power in his body had all been used up, even such a powerful life force as the Immortal Vampire could not continue at this point.
BOOM!
Pei Ji had only taken one step forward when his body swayed, and he fell to the ground.
Zhang Ruochen used his Spiritual Power to investigate. Once he confirmed that Pei Ji had truly died, only then did he bend down and remove the Half-Saint Blood Pill from his hand.
Zhang Ruochen examined the Half-Saint Blood Pill and found that on the surface of the Pill there were countless Pill inscriptions. Not only did it contain the blood of a Half-Saint, it also had a large amount of blood aura from normal warriors.
“This Pill is indeed the work of Immortal Vampires. It looks like they truly have returned!”
Zhang Ruochen had some knowledge of the Immortal Vampires. He knew that not only did they suck fresh blood from living people, they also turned fresh blood from living people into Spiritual Doses and made them into Blood Pills.
The blood of a Half-Saint was the main drug.
The other warriors’ blood was supplementary.
They killed thousands upon thousands of people and gathered them into a blood lake.
The blood lake would be refined and become a cauldron of Blood Pills.
Each cauldron likely only contained a few Blood Pills, perhaps a dozen or so. Each one contained an unusually large amount of Spiritual Blood.
Zhang Ruochen put away the Half-Saint Blood Pill and searched Pei Ji’s body again, but he did not find any other Blood Pills. He did find another three Genuine Martial Arms, one at the ninth level and two at the tenth level.
Zhang Ruochen put it all away to give to the Abyss Ancient Sword.
He also picked up the Holy Sword, the Bluewater Dragon Patterned Sword and headed back. He began to clean up the battlefield.
Since he had exposed the power of space, Zhang Ruochen could not leave anyone alive. He killed all eight Glazed Knights and stored the eight complete sets of undamaged colored glaze armor in his Spatial Ring.
Each set of colored glazed armor was worth an astronomical amount. If he did not sell them, and gave them to Si Xingkong, Chang Qiqi, and the others, it would help to greatly increase their power. They would have the power to protect themselves in the Saint Academy.
As for the eight Dragon Bone Spears, they were refined by the Abyss Ancient Sword, becoming eight lines of basic inscription.
Zhang Ruochen found Genuine Martial Arms on the bodies of the 11 warriors at the Completion of the Heaven Realm which the three Great Saint families had sent out. These were also all given to the Abyss Ancient Sword to refine.
After absorbing all of the Genuine Martial Arms, dozens more basic inscriptions appeared on the Abyss Ancient Sword. The total had reached 241.
Not only that, the sword edge had become sharper and the weight of the blade had also increased greatly.
Having done all this, only then did Zhang Ruochen begin to walk in the direction of Blackie and the Orange Star Emissary.
The Orange Star Emissary had seen Zhang Ruochen kill Pei Ji. Her brows furrowed tightly and she let out a long sigh.
How could Zhang Ruochen have become so strong?
It was likely that only the first ranked warrior on the Heaven Board, the Yellow God Emissary, had full confidence in being able to defeat him.
However, the Yellow God Emissary was in the Primitive World of Xuan Wu breaking into the Ultimate Realm of the Heaven Realm and it was impossible for him to come to the Primitive World of Wood Spirit.
So it seemed that her wish to escape had become an extravagant hope.
She just wondered, how would Zhang Ruochen punish her?
