God Emperor - Chapter 1568
Chapter 1568: Killing Without Attacking
Saint King Kuanglian extended his silver claw, and there was Rule of Truth on the claw, which boosted its power.
The claw rubbed against the air, making sparkles.
He used all his strength with his strike as he wanted to take down Zhang Ruochen before he realized it.
Zhang Ruochen wasn’t scared at all seeing the saint claw coming at him.
Bang!
Saint King Kuanglian’s claw hit himself instead.
His neck that was hit caved in, and his silver shell cracked. Lots of saint blood was spilled.
Boom!
Following a huge blast, Saint King Kuanglian fell to the ground. He yelled, “How… How is that possible?”
Saint King Kuanglian couldn’t be more upset, as he’d been knocked down by himself.
King Guiwu immediately stopped chasing him.
It was just bizarre!
How did Saint King Kuanglian hit himself instead?
There were many monks staying around Jingxiang Cliff Dojo, and they knew the great beings from Cloud Field wouldn’t just let him go easily.
The show was just getting started.
Nobody could say for sure whether the monks from Guanghan Field could keep Jingxiang Cliff Dojo or not.
Which was why many monks were shocked as they saw what just happened.
“Saint King Kuanglian wouldn’t harm himself. It must be a trap left by Zhang Ruochen.”
“Zhang Ruochen isn’t just great in combat. He must know some other tricks as well.”
…
King Guiwu noticed an invisible danger, and he immediately backed off until that sense of danger was gone.
The other monks from Cloud Field all looked nervous, as they didn’t dare underestimate Zhang Ruochen anymore.
“It’s the space power. Come back, Saint King Kuanglian,” King Guiwu yelled.
Saint King Kuanglian was afraid that he might be attacked by Zhang Ruochen, so he immediately rushed out as fast as possible.
Yet he was suddenly turned around by an invisible force and rushed back to Zhang Ruochen.
“No…”
Saint King Kuanglian wanted to stop, yet it was a step too late. Zhang Ruochen reached out his hand out of nowhere and tried to suppress him.
Boom!
That giant silver lion head hit the ground, and then, all his sense organs started to bleed.
Saint King Kuanglian lost his focus after that strike, and he couldn’t fight back anymore.
King Guiwu immediately performed a saint spell, wielding a ghost fire cloud against Zhang Ruochen, yet all the ghost fires were diverted and didn’t hit Zhang Ruochen at all.
Zhang Ruochen walked toward Saint King Kuanglian and took out his Abyss Ancient Sword.
King Guiwu yelled, “Zhang Ruochen, you’re already outside Jingxiang Cliff Dojo. If you kill Saint King Kuanglian, Truth Godly Palace will never let you get away.”
Zhang Ruochen shot King Guiwu a glance. He cut off the arms and legs of Saint King Kuanglian, and to prevent Saint King Kuanglian from blowing up his saint source, he used Saint-binding Chain to suppress his saint power.
This was the first time Saint King Kuanglian was humiliated like that. He roared, “Zhang Ruochen, if I survive this, I’ll crush every single one of your bones someday.”
Saint King Kuanglian trash-talked recklessly, as he thought Zhang Ruochen wouldn’t dare kill him.
“Do you really think I won’t kill you? I can drag you into Jingxiang Cliff Dojo and kill you right away,” said Zhang Ruochen.
Hearing that, Saint King Kuanglian had to suppress his anger and upset.
He had to survive to make Zhang Ruochen pay.
Saint King Kuanglian wanted to calm Zhang Ruochen down first, so he ingratiated himself to Zhang Ruochen and said, “Please calm down, Zhang Ruochen. It’s not going to do you any good if you kill me. If you spare my life, the senior of my race will definitely pay my ransom with lots of refining resources.”
To Saint King Kuanglian, the refining resources in a third last field couldn’t come close to those in Cloud Field, and that Zhang Ruochen would definitely be tempted.
On the surface, Zhang Ruochen didn’t attack him, as if he’d been tricked.
Saint King Kuanglian thought, That senior from my race is a fifth-step saint king, and he can rival a sixth-step saint king. Zhang Ruochen, you’ll die before getting any ransom.
Even if Zhang Ruochen’s space formation was incredible, Saint King Kuanglian didn’t believe that a formation set up by a half-step saint king could ward off his senior.
Zhang Ruochen was mature enough to see right through Saint King Kuanglian.
He just wanted to use Saint King Kuanglian to test the power of his time formation.
He wanted to see the flow of time in this area.
In the distance, none of the great beings, including King Guiwu, made a move. They all stared at Zhang Ruochen ferociously, waiting for the other great beings from Cloud Field.
Cloud Field had six dojos in Truth Heavenly Domain.
The dojo where King Guiwu was was closest to Jingxiang Cliff Dojo, so he arrived first.
With time going by, the great beings of Cloud Field from the second and the third dojo all arrived and gathered with King Guiwu, and saint light permeated the plain.
Even those who were watching the fight were thrilled.
“There’re so many monks from Cloud Field. Truth Godly Palace probably gives them twenty quotas every month.”
“Cloud Field is ranked high on the ‘Ten Thousand Fields Merit Rank,’ which is why they get so many quotas, and besides, there’re many great beings from Cloud Field who finished the tasks in Truth Godly Palace, so certainly, they can get more quotas.”
The rules of Truth Godly Palace dictated that monks could only refine in Truth Godly Palace for a month, yet they could stay in Truth Heavenly Domain for a year before they had to leave.
The more powerful a large field was, the more talents from that field could refine in Truth Heavenly Domain.
This was the place that nurtured the future leaders of Heaven World!
Many monks thought that Zhang Ruochen was in deep trouble, and that a formation wouldn’t be able to hold off so many great beings.
Another voice came. “Saint King Nufeng is here.”
A dashing man in silver saint armor arrived, shaking the saint Qi hundreds of miles around him.
All the great beings from Cloud Field saluted Saint King Nufeng.
Saint King Nufeng was far from being a supreme saint, yet there was a trace of emperor Qi coming out of him.
He was like the emperor of saints, like supreme saints.
He was the senior Saint King Kuanglian had mentioned.
“What happened, King Guiwu?” Saint King Nufeng asked.
King Guiwu then told Saint King Nufeng what had happened.
Saint King Nufeng got angrier and angrier as he was listening to the story, and his growing belligerence scared even the monks standing a hundred miles away.
“Saint King Nufeng is also in Truth Heavenly Domain. Zhang Ruochen’s doomed this time!”
“Let’s see whether his and Saint King Sujing’s formation can hold off Saint King Nufeng or not. If not, Jingxiang Cliff Dojo will be occupied by Cloud Field again.”
Zhang Ruochen was refining on the ground, and Saint King Kuanglian, who’d had his legs and arms chopped off, was lying behind him.
Ling Feiyu, Mu Lingxi, and Wen Shusheng couldn’t focus on comprehending Way of Truth anymore. They all rushed out in the dojo and stared at the monks from Cloud Field.
All the great beings from Cloud Field were powerful.
Saint King Nufeng said, “Name your price, Zhang Ruochen. What do you need to let Saint King Kuanglian go?”
Zhang Ruochen had recovered completely after the nap. He opened his eyes again and said, “I can give him back to you now if you want him so much.”
Zhang Ruochen grabbed the Saint-binding Chain and threw Saint King Kuanglian out of the formation.
All the monks from Cloud Field were perplexed, and none of them dared touch Saint King Kuanglian as they reckoned it might be his trap.
Bang!
Saint King Kuanglian fell to the ground.
“Saint King Kuanglian, is dead…” a monk from Cloud Field yelled.
“How is that possible?”
King Guiwu rushed toward Saint King Kuanglian, trying to check his injuries. Saint King Kuanglian was a saint king, so the injuries on his legs, arms, and neck couldn’t have been fatal.
“His blood stopped flowing, and his organs were prostrated. How was he killed?” King Guiwu was horrified.
All the monks had been staring at Zhang Ruochen the entire time, and they were sure that Zhang Ruochen had only cut his arms and legs off.
It was weird.
A monk from Cloud Field said, “Did Zhang Ruochen poison him?”
“There isn’t any poison in his system.” King Guiwu shook his head, stood up, and looked to Zhang Ruochen in the distance, feeling intimidated, as he didn’t know what had happened.
Saint King Nufent stopped controlling his emotions. He yelled, “You’ll pay for what you did, Zhang Ruochen!”
Zhang Ruochen said calmly, “You have no proof that I killed him.”
“It doesn’t matter. I’ll make you admit what you did after I capture you.”
Saint light gushed out of Saint King Nufeng’s body, and then, he took out a ten-thousand-patterns saint weapon and triggered its Third Yao Complete Power, hitting Jingxiang Cliff Dojo.
Boom!
Nine Spirits Blood Ocean Formation was operated, warding off the attacks of Saint King Nufeng.
The power tore the ground and clouds apart.
Zhang Ruochen walked back to the dojo, looked at Mu Lingxi and Su Qingling, and said, “No need to mind them. Let’s comprehend the pictures of Way of Truth first.”
Zhang Ruochen wasn’t worried at all that the monks from Cloud Field could get into Jingxiang Cliff Dojo.
First of all, their attacks weren’t able to break the space formation and Nine Spirits Blood Ocean Formation.
Even if they asked a formation saint master to crack the formation, they would be killed in the time formation.
Saint King Nufeng got more furious seeing Zhang Ruochen walking back to the dojo so calmly. “How dare a half-step saint king look down upon me like this?”
He attacked the formation using the Third Yao ten-thousand-patterns saint weapon more than ten times, yet he still failed to break the formation, and then, King Guiwu and other monks from Cloud Field all attacked the formation, making constant noises.
