God Emperor Chapter 996

Chapter 996 - No Panic Before Danger

Translator: Larbre Studio  Editor: Larbre Studio

Bloody light poured out of Pearl Light Pavilion. It swept through the Black Market like a flood. All the large forces were hit.

The shields of the defense formations around the forces nearest to Pearl Light Pavilion quivered continuously. All the Monks were terrified. They feared that their defenses would shatter and they’d be affected.

In the distance, Kong Hongbi stood at the top of the tower and stared at Pearl Light Pavilion.

When he saw Zhang Ruochen burst out with Beauty Shi, Kong Hongbi laughed. “He thinks he can escape with a saint decree?”

Kong Hongbi took out a jade badge. Gripping it between two fingers, it hit the air.

Zhang Ruochen flew like a shooting star, thanks to the saint decree’s power.

Boom!

The jade badge burst apart, transforming into a red mirror-like shield, hundreds of feet wide. It stood before Zhang Ruochen and Beauty Shi, stopping them.

The shield radiated with blazing heat. Even metal would melt if it approached the shield.

Kong Hongbi sneered coldly. “Yan Xu, Gui Gu, you two go kill Zhang Ruochen, but Beauty Shi must be kept alive.”

As soon as Zhang Ruochen and Beauty Shi landed, two beams of Death Qi surged over.

Whoosh.

Whoosh.

Saint Generals Yan Xu and Gui Gu appeared simultaneously. They appeared less than 100 meters before and behind Zhang Ruochen.

They released their saint soul territories. Spiritual Qi kept flowing towards them, strengthening their auras.

Zhang Ruochen’s eyes were cold. “If you don’t retreat now, I can spare you because of your ancestors.”

Saint General Yan Xu found him laughable. “Spare us? You should revere a ninth level Half-Saint. Perhaps you’ll be qualified to speak like that in ten more years. As for now, you’re too far off.”

“He doesn’t have a chance to wait ten more years,” Saint General Gui Gu rasped. He laughed.

Zhang Ruochen looked in the direction of the Pearl Light Pavilion. Dozens of figures had burst out, hurrying towards him. Thus, he stopped warning the two Saint Generals. Brandishing the Abyss Ancient Sword, he charged forward.

“Good. Let me see just how skilled the so-called Time and Space Descendant is.”

Saint General Yan Xu had two purple shields. They were curved like arm plates that melded perfectly with his arms.

Crackle. Dozens of thick purple bolts of lightning shot out of the shields and his arms. They streaked around him.

The buildings on either side of the road couldn’t bear the force of the lightning. They all collapsed with booms.

A ninth level Half-Saint was at the top of all Saint Generals. He was naturally powerful. A regular high-level Half-Saint couldn’t be compared to him.

Saint General Yan Xu punched, hitting Zhang Ruochen’s chest with dozens of lightning bolts.

Frozen Space, Zhang Ruochen thought.

Saint General Yan Xu and his dozens of lightning bolts froze in an instant. They seemed to be sealed within transparent ice.

With a flash of sword light, Zhang Ruochen rushed past Saint General Yan Xu. The Saint General’s head flew away. It landed on the street with a thud like a blood-red watermelon.

At the same time, the lightning bolts flew forward to Saint General Gui Gu.

The Saint General struck with two palm prints to dissolve the lightning bolts. He was about to berate Yan Xu, but he discovered the man had become a headless corpse in the middle of the street.

He killed a ninth level Half-Saint with one strike?

Saint General Gui Gu widened his eyes in disbelief. Sweat beaded on his forehead.

Zhang Ruochen’s cultivation was so low, but he could already kill a ninth level Half-Saint? Even if Yan Xu underestimated his enemy, it was still extraordinary for Zhang Ruochen to be able to kill him with one strike.

Zhang Ruochen’s abilities were even more terrifying than Bu Qianfan’s.

Kong Hongbi flew over. He stood in the air and stared at Saint General Yan Xu’s corpse. He felt pained but also furious. “No wonder he’s the Time and Space Descendant. I’ve underestimated him.”

“Zhang Ruochen’s abilities might not be strong, but his power of time and space is disconcerting,” Saint General Gui Gu said. “I can kill him with my cultivation. I just need to be careful.”

He put away his fear and shock and recovered his will to fight. He didn’t believe that, as a ninth level Half-Saint, he couldn’t handle Zhang Ruochen.

Kong Hongbi and Saint General Gui Gu didn’t attack immediately. Instead, they watched from the side, trying to figure out a way against the power of time and space.

Because of the two Saint Generals, the Monks of the Demonic Sect had caught up. They surrounded Zhang Ruochen.

Ouyang Huan stood across from him. “Zhang Ruochen, you’re smart. You shouldn’t do stupid things. Hand Beauty Shi to me. If you join the sect genuinely, I can spare you because of Junior Sister Huang.”

“Because of what you just said, I can spare you tonight.” Zhang Ruochen scanned his surroundings. He seemed very calm and showed no sign of stepping back.

Ouyang Huan furrowed his brow and shook his head. “Your power of time and space is mysterious, but there’s a big gap between you and I. I have many ways to kill you. Why lose your life for her?”

“A man does what he does,” Zhang Ruochen said. “If Beauty Shi is Qi Feiyu, would you fight the Moon Worship Demonic Sect for her?”

Ouyang Huan fell silent. A moment later, he said, “Junior Sister Huang would be unhappy if she heard that.”

“Junior Sister Huang” was obviously Huang Yanchen. The nine heirs were all disciples of the Empress, so she was Ouyang Huan’s junior sister.

“Zhang Ruochen, I’ve said everything that I had to say. Since you insist on your choice, I’ll be able to explain to Junior Sister Huang even if I kill you tonight.”

Ouyang Huan’s voice was relaxed this entire time. Now, it finally became cold as he ordered, “Kill Zhang Ruochen and Beauty Shi. Remember, leave their corpses intact.”

The next moment, seven elders of the Pearl Light Pavilion charged out. They stood in seven directions, forming a composite attack formation.

These seven elders were all high-level Half-Saints, weaker only than the pavilion lord in Pearl Light Pavilion. Each one was renowned.

Through the composite attack formation, their cultivations were grouped together. Their powers spread thousands of feet wide. An apparition of a giant divine beast formed behind each of them.

Roar.

The seven elders each had a saint weapon. They attacked Zhang Ruochen at once. The seven beastly images also charged, pouncing at Zhang Ruochen from seven directions.

An earth-shaking dragon roar sounded. Then blinding golden light flared from Zhang Ruochen’s body. Scales grew, transforming him into a flying golden dragon.

The dragon spiraled into the air, shattering all seven beastly apparitions. Seeing the flying dragon, the Monks of the forces in the Black Market were all amazed and shocked.

“Is this the Divine Dragon Change?”

“I heard that Zhang Ruochen had eaten the eyes of blood of the golden dragon and can transform into a dragon. With his powers, he’s comparable to even a divine dragon youth.”

“Unfortunately, Zhang Ruochen’s cultivation is still too weak. He might not be able to break through the seven elders’ Seven Palace Attack Formation.”

Everyone thought that Zhang Ruochen was like a captured beast struggling before death. He would die in the composite formation in the end.

The seven elders moved neatly. They charged and pulled out their saint weapons simultaneously. They activated the runes and attacked the golden dragon.

Abruptly, the dragon shrunk and turned back into Zhang Ruochen. He waved his hand, ripping open a spatial tear. He attacked an elder with a black saint broadsword.

A moment ago, Ouyang Huan had noticed Zhang Ruochen’s intentions and warned, “Elder Ji, Zhang Ruochen will use spatial power. Move right.”

The elder with the black saint broadsword rushed right and readily dodged Zhang Ruochen’s spatial tear.

Zhang Ruochen glanced at Ouyang Huan, alarms sounding within him. Ouyang Huan could predict his moves. This wasn’t easy and made him feel danger.

After that, the elders all dodged Zhang Ruochen’s spatial attacks thanks to Ouyang Huan’s pointers.

Zhang Ruochen was trapped in the formation and couldn’t break free. It kept shrinking too. The seven elders soon forced Zhang Ruochen into a corner.

“No need to keep dragging it out,” Ouyang Huan ordered. “It should end now! Kill Zhang Ruochen with one last strike!”

The most powerful of the seven elders was in the eighth level. Under his lead, the other six elders also charged forward to give Zhang Ruochen the fatal strike.

Light flashed past Zhang Ruochen’s eyes. He’d pretended to be weak just for this moment.

“Four Changes of Scale One.”

Five time prints melted into the sword technique. Zhang Ruochen stabbed forward, but it created 25 human and sword shadows that attacked the seven elders at once.

Time within hundreds of meters slowed down. Because of this, the seven elders tried to block Zhang Ruochen’s sword but were a bit slow.

By the time the 25 shadows became one, the seven elders all had gaping holes in their foreheads. Their Seas of Qi had been shattered, their saint souls extinguished.

Thud.

The seven high-level Half-Saints died, falling down at the same time.

Zhang Ruochen’s move had been too brilliant. It floored many people. In the darkness, one could hear many sharp gasps.

Ouyang Huan knew that Zhang Ruochen was skilled in the Way of Sword, but this high level surpassed his expectations.

“I already think highly of you, but I can’t believe I’ve still underestimated you.”

Looking at the seven corpses, Ouyang Huan sighed. If he hadn’t underestimated Zhang Ruochen, the seven elders wouldn’t have had to die. To the Divine Sect, the deaths of seven advanced Half-Saints was a huge loss. It would alarm the Hierarch.

Zhang Ruochen stood beside Beauty Shi with a bloody sword. “Then, will you fight personally now?”

“I’ve witnessed your power of space and time. It’s indeed powerful, but there are two flaws.”

Ouyang Huan continued. “First, you need a certain amount of time to prepare to cast the power of space and time. Second, both of them have a limited attack range. I can kill you with only one move. Say your last words now. I can help you send the message.”

“You discovered my flaws,” Zhang Ruochen said. “Could I not have discovered your flaws too?”

“My flaws?” Ouyang Huan asked.

“You’re too confident,” Zhang Ruochen. “You think you control everything, but you don’t know that some types of power in this world will always be beyond your expectations. Today, I’ll give you a lesson. Instead of killing you, I’ll just disable your legs to teach you. This way, you won’t give up your life because of your confidence.”
