God Emperor - Chapter 1893

Chapter 1893: Extreme Peril

Also being locked together with Zhang Ruochen was Prince Wujie, but for the latter, it was a good thing, at least his life was safe.

Xia Wenxin, the Nine-Eye Heavenly Lord, and the rest appeared, and first dispelled the shackles off Prince Wujie.

Crimson blood flowed again, and Prince Wujie’s body that was slashed into two quickly stitched back together. After all, he was an Immortal Vampire, and his vitality was abnormally tenacious.

However, although he managed to preserve his life, he was still badly wounded. His breathing was weak, and he quickly ate a healing pill.

“Prince Wujie, you are too careless. For you to almost die in Zhang Ruochen’s hands, if this goes out, you will be laughed at by countless people!” The Nine-Eye Heavenly Lord sniggered.

Hearing this, Prince Wujie’s expression turned extremely dour, and it looked so gloomy that it might rain. He was the Prince Wujie, a descendant of an Immortal Vampire Supreme Saint, and for him, who had cultivated his Precept Domain, to lose to an Eight-step Saint King, it was undoubtedly a massive dishonor.

“Let me kill him!”

Flames of fury raged in Prince Wujie’s eyes as the chains in his hand moved, wanting to strike at Zhang Ruochen.

Xia Wenxin grabbed his hand and shook his head. “Don’t touch him for the moment. He is still of some value to us. Spare his life first, you can deal with him how you see fit later.”

“All right, I’ll spare him first, and once his value is exhausted, I will suck his blood dry!” Prince Wujie gritted his and hissed.

Since it was Xia Wenxin who said so, he of course had to give face. Of all in this group, Xia Wenxin was the one they could not afford to offend.

Others wanted to drop a few words for Prince Wujie, but upon Xia Wenxin speaking, no one dared to say anything else.

“The Godslayer Cross Shield is really a good treasure. You have gained much in coming to Kunlun Realm, Lord Xia!” The Long-faced Princess said enviously.

Others too cast envious gaze. If not for the fact that this treasure was in the hands of Xia Wenxin, they would have long fought to take it for themselves.

A weapon that once crucified a god was something that everyone was eager to obtain.

“Lord Xia, you must’ve obtained this treasure when you went to the Eastern Region, right. As far as I know, this treasure was originally in Qi Sheng’s hands.” The Nine-eye Heavenly Lord said with a faint smile.

Xia Wenxin nodded. “Indeed. To get this Godslayer Cross Shield, I’ve lost a Demonstone Engraving, but now it’s back as well.”

“Oh? The Demonstone Engraving is on Zhang Ruochen?” The Nine-eye Heavenly Lord showed a look of surprise in his eyes.

Xia Wenxin said. “The treasures on Zhang Ruochen’s body could be said to be vast, even Supreme Saints cannot compare to him. Let’s put him down first, and take the Dreadblade, this will be very helpful in our assault against the Sword Vault.

As he said that, Xia Wenxin prepared to strike, and wanted to take down Zhang Ruochen as soon as possible, to avoid any incidents.

Unlike Prince Wujie, he himself had always been very careful when he did something, and would not be negligent at all.

DUSH! Just as Xia Wenxin was about to strike, Zhang Ruochen suddenly moved. The Ancient Abyssal Blade stabbed out extremely fast, and at such close distance, Xia Wenxin did not have the opportunity to avoid, and the sword bit into his chest.

Fortunately, his reaction was fast enough, and instantly moved his body slightly to the side, otherwise, his heart would have been pierced through by the Ancient Abyssal Blade.

“How is that possible?”

Everyone, including Xia Wenxin was shocked.

Zhang Ruochen was held in place by the Godslayer Cross Shield, how could he strike? This was something no one had expected.

Xia Wenxin quickly pulled back as blood gushed out of the chest wound. Yet he did not say anything as he stared dead-on at Zhang Ruochen.

This time, even he had miscalculated. He had thought that Zhang Ruochen was dead meat, and never thought that the latter still had the power to resist.

Whoosh, Zhang Ruochen pulled his sword back and retreated as he pulled a distance away from the Godslayer Cross Shield.

“That was dangerous!”

Zhang Ruochen’s emotions surged, and could not calm down even after a while.

It was actually really dangerous just now. The power of the Godslayer Cross Shield was much more powerful in the hands of Xia Wenxin than Qi Sheng, especially its ability to lock down space, and that caught him a little off guard.

Fortunately, his attainments in the path of dimensions had improved a lot, and the Spatial Domain he propped up barely held up a small space to resist the suppression from the Godslayer Cross Shield, which gave him back his freedom.

He had wanted to kill Xia Wenxin with a surprise attack, but Xia Wenxin was just too cautious, and ultimately the attempt failed, and only cause a minor wound to him.

“So he was the one that sold the Demonic Blood Ax Engraving, and for him to be an Immortal Vampire. It seems that giving the Godslayer Cross Shield to him was a mistake!” Zhang Ruochen said to himself.

Originally, he felt that there was no point in keeping the shield as he was unable to wield it, coupled with the fact that he did not want the Demonic Blood Ax Engraving to fall into the hands of outsiders, so he took it out for exchange. Never did he expect that it would fall into the hands of the Immortal Vampires.

Now he was aware of the true power of the Godslayer Cross Shield and was sure that this was definitely a Supreme Sacred Artifact or a divine relic that needed secret methods to activate.

“As expected of the Scion of Time and Space, you are a tough one. Even I almost perished under your hands. But unfortunately, you cannot break free from the suppression of the Godslayer Cross Shield, and you are destined to stay here today.” Xia Wenxin’s crimson air fluttered, as a glint of ferocity flashed in his eyes.

He was no doubt enraged after taking a stab by accident.

Zhang Ruochen sneered, “Is that so? That depends if you have the capability!”

As he said that, he held the Azuresky Pagoda in one hand, and infused Saint Qi into it. Even in the face of a strong enemy, he was not afraid, and worse come to worst, he needed to just fight.

The Nine-eye Heavenly Lord snorted. “Zhang Ruochen, with things coming to this, you still dare to bluff? I would advise that you suffer, and suffer less. Or else, if I were to act, I’ll make you wish that you never lived.”

“Hahaha! Do you think I’d fall for that? Show me what you got, I will take them all on!” Zhang Ruochen burst out laughing.

On the surface, he was indeed maniacal, but deep down he was thinking about countermeasures.

He was now in a bad place, alone against over ten Immortal Vampire Saint Kings. Moreover, each of them gave him an unfathomable feeling, and he could not defeat them alone, especially after the other side used the Godslayer Cross Shield to lock down space and blocked many of his techniques, escaping alive itself was a big question.

The other side clearly came prepared, and thoroughly knew about his status, and could counter most of his abilities.

For example, Prince Wujie had cultivated the Gate of Fate, then he could restrain his Path of Truth, and greatly restricting the strength he could unleash.

“So brazen even when you are unable to use your dimensional techniques, you are really looking for death!” Killing intent appeared in the Nine-eye Heavenly Lord’s eyes, and with a finger, he pointed at Zhang Ruochen.

A blood-red beam blasted out, carrying with it the power of destruction and decay, seemingly able to annihilate everything.

Zhang Ruochen’s frowned, and swung the Ancient Abyssal Blade, releasing a powerful Sword Force that collided with the finger blast from the Nine-eye Heavenly Lord.

Bam bam bam.

He fell a few steps back and the blood Qi rushed through his body, causing him to nearly puke out a mouthful of blood.

“So strong!”

Zhang Ruochen was shocked.

By contrast, the power of the Nine-eye Heavenly Lord was much, much stronger than Prince Wujie.

He guessed that this person was already close to Heaven’s Reach realm, and a little further was the Path’s Anterior realm. He was not too far away from breaking into the Supreme Sainthood.

In his perception, there were two people who were similar in cultivation to the Nine-eye Heavenly Lord, and Xia Wenxin, the man who had used the Godslayer Cross Shield to lock down the space seemed to be stronger. As for others, all of them had already reached the realm of Precept Domain, and none of them were weak.

“With my current strength, I can fight with someone of the Precept Dominion at best. To fight against a Heaven’s Reach powerhouse, I need to at least break into the realm of a Nine-step Saint King. I need to retreat back to the Sword Vault, and immediately activate the Sundial to increase my cultivation.” Zhang Ruochen said in his heart as he felt the enormous pressure.

He was not exactly weak, but neither he was at the top in terms of strength. Forget about those of the Heaven’s Reach realm, even those of the Precept Dominion realm was enough to be a great threat to him.

The only way to get out of this situation was to break through and narrow the gap between their cultivation level.

“To be able to take on my finger blast, you sure have a bit of strength, but it’s far from enough to take me down!” The Nine-eye Heavenly Lord roared and released a bloody palm strike.

“Shit.”

Zhang Ruochen’s expression changed dramatically as he sensed a grave threat.

The all-out attack of a Heaven’s Reach elite was extremely powerful, and even ordinary Precept Dominion realm elite may not be able to withstand the attack.

Without any hesitation, he activated the Azuresky Pagoda’s supreme power.

Booom! The Azuresky Pagoda was sent flying back, and slammed against his body, sending him flying away as well.

“Now’s the time.”

The moment he flew out, Zhang Ruochen took out a scroll and activated it with the fastest speed possible.

Boom! A terrifying dimensional force was unleashed from the scroll, causing the space around to collapse in a large area, and the Godslayer Cross Shield could no longer suppress the space in the area.

“I got tricked!”

The Nine-eye Heavenly Lord reacted instantly and realized that he had been used. It was not that Zhang Ruochen was unable to block his attack, at least he was not that weak. Instead, Zhang Ruochen purposely used the force of the palm strike to pull a distance away, to use his trump card.
