God Emperor - Chapter 1121
Chapter 1121: Irrational Zhang Ruochen
What Zhang Ruochen did on Dragon Top Mountain shocked everyone in Blue Dragon Void World. More than half the great beings on ‘Half-Saint Rank’ went to the mountain.
A hundred years later, these creatures would grow to become the leaders of Kunlun’s Field, and they would determine where the world was heading to.
Which was why the fight today was not just a fight among the juniors, but something more meaningful.
Beigong Lan and Chi Wanui stood on the edge of a cliff that was twenty-five hundred feet tall. One of them was wearing a white martial cape, the other was wearing golden holy armor, and they intimidated away all the savage beasts and dead spirits around.
Beigong Lan was aloof and looked like an unrivalled female sword saint. She said, “I’ve figured before that the human beings and savage beasts would get into a huge fight for World Spirit. I originally thought the leaders would be Monk Lidi and Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon, but I didn’t expect it to be Zhang Ruochen instead.”
Chi Wansui’s eyebrows were thick, and his nose was tall. He looked solemn and said, “Zhang Ruochen looks a bit different today. He looks so ferocious. Has he actually gone mad by practicing Dragon and Elephant Prajna Palm?”
Beigong Lan frowned and looked worried.
She didn’t have much to do with Zhang Ruochen, and they hadn’t even exchanged more than three pleasantries. However, Zhang Ruochen gave her a very deep impression.
Zhang Ruochen stood up for the human race both in Kunlun Heir’s banquet and Yingsha City. Not only did he defend humans’ dignity, he also saved many human elites.
However, this person was a person of his own. He would immediately leave no matter what good he had done, and he didn’t care what others thought about him, nor did he want others’ gratefulness.
It was very difficult not to be impressed by that.
Overall, Beigong Lan had a good impression of Zhang Ruochen. She said, “Suzaku Fairy, the Royal Prince of the Kun and Moth King have all shown up. Aside from that, there are still more than ten Taigu Remains standing in the rain. It doesn’t matter whether Zhang Ruochen has gone mad or not. We can’t just leave him be.”
Chi Wansui’s pupils shrank. He said, “Xue Wuye and Monk Lidi have rushed to Dragon Top Mountain. They’re supposed to go there to confirm Zhang Ruochen’s status. If Zhang Ruochen hasn’t gone mad, we can still strike again.”
There were indeed some grudges between Chi Wansui and Zhang Ruochen, however, they were facing the threat of savage beasts, so they could put aside those grudges to team up against the common enemies.
“What if Zhang Ruochen has really gone mad?” Beigong Lan asked him.
Chi Wansui stared at Dragon Top Mountain and stayed silent.
If Zhang Ruochen had gone mad, he would definitely be the second Death Zen Elder. If he grew, it would be a catastrophe for human beings, and he might be more dangerous than Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon.
If they could kill him now, they had to do it.
Even though it was cruel for them to do it, it would save more lives.
Only those who were committed to him and were willing to do anything for him would stand by him no matter what.
However, there were only few of them in the world.
Perhaps even family wouldn’t be able to do that.
Xue Wuye and Monk Lidi had arrived at Dragon Top Mountain, and they started to climb up.
Facing the most powerful human beings, those level-six savage beasts didn’t dare stand in their way.
Suzaku fairy race, Fish royal race and Moth King all knew what Xue Wuye and Monk Lidi wanted, so they didn’t rush to do anything.
“What do Xue Wuye and Monk Lidi want? Were they really so instigated by Feng Yinchan that they want to fight Zhang Ruochen,” Mu Lingxi was very concerned.
Now, Zhang Ruochen was being encircled, and he would be in a worse situation if Xue Wuye and Monk Lidi decided to fight him.
Qi Feiyu stood beside Mu Lingxi. Her eyes were transparent like water. She said, “Sister Mu, you can’t do anything about it. Do you really think Xue Wuye and Monk Lidi are that easy to manipulate? I think they’re just going to check on Zhang Ruochen to decide what they’re supposed to do next.”
“Next? What’s next?” Mu Lingxi was really disturbed, and she had lost her wisdom and calm.
Qi Feiyu was silent, and there were complications in her eyes.
The other saintess, Lan Caisang, smiled and said, “If Zhang Ruochen hasn’t gone mad and is still rational, Xue Wuye and Monk Lidi will help him. No matter how many great beings from savage beasts come, they can’t scare those two away.”
Mu Lingxi was relieved a bit. If Xue Wuye and Monk Lidi struck together, other human great beings would also follow them. No matter what the result of the fight was, Zhang Ruochen’s dangers would be temporarily resolved.
Lan Caisang changed his topic and said, “However, if Zhang Ruochen has really gone mad and become a bloodthirsty monster… Xue Wuye and Monk Lidi might not suppress him, but they might leave Dragon Top Mountain.”
Qi Feiyu added, “We can’t do anything about it, but you shouldn’t be too obsessed. Many excellent talents in history went off the wagon because they relentlessly refined themselves, and their rising power couldn’t be controlled by their rationale anymore.”
The so-called ‘Gone mad’ didn’t mean that they went on a devil path. Instead, it meant that they had lost their mind and that they weren’t normal human beings anymore. They weren’t able to think in a normal way. The only things they knew were all destructive, slaughtering, destroying everything around them or something else extreme.
“Impossible. Zhang Ruochen is always a rational guy with great mind power. How could he have gone mad?” Mu Lingxi shook her head, as she didn’t buy what they said.
Lan Caisang smiled, “What Zhang Ruochen did today doesn’t imply that he’s a rational person.”
Qi Feiyu shook her head and said, “Actually, Zhang Ruochen did behave differently from before. He’s too aggressive and ferocious. It doesn’t feel like him.”
Ouyang Huan sat in the wheelchair and said, “He’s being pressured by the Empress, the military base, immortal vampires, Black Market Excellence Hall, the Ancient Ghost Cultivation Race and Ancient Necromancer race… He’s under so much stress that he has to put all his efforts into improving his cultivation.”
“His cultivation is being improved, and his peer monks can’t even compare to him. However, improving so fast will certainly leave some side effects.”
“His cultivation was way weaker before, yet he dared fight nineteen beast kings and Qingtian Tribe by himself. He was becoming reckless.”
“Even if Zhang Ruochen has gone mad, it wouldn’t surprise me.”
What Ouyang Huan said made some sense. Even if Mu Lingxi had complete trust in Zhang Ruochen’s personality, she was still worried now.
Xue Wuye was holding an oil paper umbrella, walking on the road made of bodies. He looked calm and chill, and he stopped walking after getting to the mountainside.
Monk Lidi was gigantic, and he was carrying a giant blade holder on his back. He walked up to the mountainside also.
“Amitabha, donator Zhang. After Xuanwu Void World, we meet again!”
Monk Lidi put his hands together and smiled. He didn’t look like a monk. Instead, he looked like a butcher.
Xue Wuye curled his lips and said, “Brother Zhang, we didn’t drink enough last time. Do you want to drink together again?”
Zhang Ruochen knew why Monk Lidi and Xue Wuye were here. However, he still needed much more offerings for the sacrifice.
If he teamed up with Monk Lidi and Xue Wuye now, those savage beasts would all run away, then all his efforts would be in vain.
Besides, even if the savage beasts still decided to fight, it would only lead to a giant war between human beings and savage beasts, which would lead to countless deaths.
Also, if those human monks knew that Zhang Ruochen was to make a saint pill, they would hate Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen couldn’t reveal his true intention now.
He needed the saintly pills, and he needed to attract as many enemies as possible so that he could kill them all.
Blackie had already sent a message to Zhang Ruochen that the altar had been repaired, and all it needed was more offerings for the sacrifice.
Zhang Ruochen looked down, and his eyes turned red. He looked at those two aggressively and said, “Are you two here to challenge me?”
Monk Lidi and Xue Wuye took a look at each other, and they both looked worried and shook their heads.
Monk Lidi didn’t want to give up like this. After all, he’d been friends with Zhang Ruochen before. He kept saying, “Donator Zhang, if you trust me, then follow me to Brahma Way…”
“You talk too much, idiot!”
Zhang Ruochen grabbed his Abyss Ancient Sword, performed Sword Five and dashed toward Monk Lidi.
Monk Lidi pulled out the Buddhist Butcher Sword he had, which flew up to his front.
Peng!
Abyss Ancient Sword crushed the sword case, clashing with the blade of Buddhist Butcher Sword.
Monk Lidi stepped back hundreds of feet. His body was detached from the ground, and he needed to fly to the sky to dissolve the force of the sword.
Huang Yanchen knew what Zhang Ruochen wanted. She stood forward and said, “Please leave as soon as possible, both of you, otherwise, he’ll kill you both too.”
Monk Lidi and Xue Wuye felt pity, yet they couldn’t do anything about it.
Those monks who tried to turn Death Zen Elder were all killed by him before. Now, no one dared try to change Huang Yanchen’s mind.
Xue Wuye looked to Huang Yanchen and said, “Are you not going?”
“I’m his wife. Wherever he is, I’ll be there,” Huang Yanchen answered.
Monk Lidi and Xue Wuye eventually left Dragon Top Mountain.
Feng Yinchan smiled joyfully. “Zhang Ruochen, I can’t believe that you’ve actually gone mad. Do you really think you can still survive in any place in the world?”
Mu Lingxi was in despair, and she hated Empress Chi Yao’s guts. If it weren’t for her constant pressure, someone with strong mind power like Zhang Ruochen wouldn’t have been crushed.
Le squeezed the blade handle and looked at the front. She was bewildered for a while, and she only came back to her senses after a long time.
