God Emperor - Chapter 2477
Chapter 2477: Dead with a stomp
Zhang Ruochen felt guilty toward Luo Sha. He knew that she genuinely had feelings for him. She was a woman he could trust.
However, Luo Sha’s use of Mu Lingxi to threaten him made Zhang Ruochen unhappy.
Luo Sha saw that Zhang Ruochen was unhappy, and her tone softened. She said, “I heard about what happened in Enchanton and realized that you were in danger. I immediately came out of seclusion and rushed over to help you. Don’t you trust me at all?
“I’m your fiancée and will be a member of the Xue Jue family in the future. Do you think I will harm you and the Xue Jue family because of Devala?
“I know that you are looking for the Fane of Origin to use the Power of Origin to make the saintwill rise to a higher level. This is what I want to see. I hope that my husband is a peerless figure in the world.”
Zhang Ruochen ignored her flowery words. His eyes darkened. He said, “How did you know that I was in danger?”
“Devala has influence throughout the Infernal Court. The information I want is naturally within my grasp. Besides, my Royal Brother is on Hoth. How many things can be hidden from him?” Luo Sha said calmly.
Zhang Ruochen shook his head, “That’s not right! In the battle 20 days ago, the only cultivators who knew I was involved were Wuma Jiuxing, Bai Qing’er’s subordinates, and Guye Jing. When the Ji Feng Manor array was broken, Blackie had already left with Guye Jing and me. No one else could know.”
After saying this, Zhang Ruochen activated the Precepts of Truth and directed it to his eyes. He stared at Luo Sha.
Whoosh
The radiance of Truth shone.
Instantly, he saw through her disguise.
Luo Sha smiled beautifully. She turned around and changed into the appearance of Guye Jing. She said, “Zhang Ruochen, although you didn’t admit it, I already know that the superior-grade Divine Crystal of Origin is with you.”
Zhang Ruochen closed his eyes and let out a long sigh. He was really on guard day and night. In the end, he was careless and fell for Guye Jing’s trap.
Fortunately, he didn’t take out the superior-grade Divine Crystal of Origin. Otherwise, the divine crystal wouldn’t be in his hands right now.
‘Even if I didn’t use the Eye of Truth, I should have guessed it. How could it be so coincidental? I went to the House of Enchanteurs, and Luo Sha just happened to go to the House of Enchanteurs? Guye Jing went to see Luo Shengtian to confuse me and make me lose my vigilance,’ Zhang Ruochen thought.
Guye Jing smiled sweetly and sat on Zhang Ruochen’s left leg. Her jade-like arm hung on his neck again, “When I asked you where the superior-grade Divine Crystal of Origin was, you hesitated. That means you are the thief who stole it. Zhang Ruochen, you deliberately used me to deal with Bai Qing’er, right?”
Zhang Ruochen said, “I am Luo Sha’s fiancé. Don’t you feel sorry for her for being so close to me?”
“What’s the big deal? Sha Sha and I are like sisters. There’s nothing that we can’t share. Sisters serving one husband may be a good story in the future. If you don’t want to marry me, I can also be your spare. Wouldn’t it be more exciting to be sneaky?” said Guye Jing in a soft voice as she blinked her eyelashes.
Zhang Ruochen’s expression didn’t change. He said, “You’re willing to sacrifice anything for the superior-grade Divine Crystal of Origin.”
“Who said it’s only for the superior-grade Divine Crystal of Origin? After a Yuanhui-level genius becomes a god, he has the potential to become a king. I’m just a weak girl. It’s normal for me to come to you,” Guye Jing said seriously.
“Fine! I’m Not a gentleman. Having beauty come to me is a joy in life. Tonight, I’ll take you!” said Zhang Ruochen.
Suddenly, Zhang Ruochen’s hands moved up and down on Guye Jing’s voluptuous body.
BANG!
Guye Jing turned into a red shadow and ran out of the room the next moment. She tidied up her messy clothes and looked back. She stomped her feet and said coldly, “I really don’t know what Luo Sha sees in you. A man like you who can’t resist temptation, I still won’t like you, no matter how good you are.”
Guye Jing turned into an afterimage and rushed out of the manor, disappearing into the snowy night.
Zhang Ruochen walked out of the room and laughed, “I thought you were being submissive? Why are you leaving? I don’t want you, but your injuries have healed. Shouldn’t you return the 30% of your Saint Soul that you owe me?”
Guye Jing had long disappeared.
In the snowy night, only the cold wind was left.
Zhang Ruochen smiled. This demoness seemed highly charming, but she was still too immature about matters between men and women. With a few tricks, she revealed her true form and ran away.
Zhang Ruochen would have to collect the 30% Saint Souls that Guye Jing owed sooner or later. He wasn’t in a hurry now.
Zhang Ruochen thought, ‘Guye Jing clearly knows that the superior-grade Divine Crystal of Origin is with me, but she didn’t take it. It seems that she knows my personality. She knows that even if a knife was on my neck, I wouldn’t compromise.
‘And a drop of my blood is in her hands. She can find me at any time. As long as she follows me, she’ll find the Fane of Origin.’
Zhang Ruochen felt a headache. His plan to use Guye Jing to deal with Bai Qing’er had failed!
Women were better at playing tricks.
After Guye Jing left the manor, the two Dvarapalas turned into two statues.
They were puppets refined by Guye Jing using the secret technique of The Rāhu Mountains.
“Eh?”
Zhang Ruochen still hadn’t deactivated the Eye of Truth. He glanced at the tallest tower in the manor, and his expression changed.
“Reveal your true form,” Zhang Ruochen chanted.
Nine-foot-long Dimensional Rifts condensed in his palm. They combined with the Mark of Time and flew toward the top of the tower with unparalleled speed.
A strange bird stopped at the top of the tower.
It was shocked when it saw Guye Jing rushing out of the room.
Then it saw Zhang Ruochen coming out of the room. It was both confused and happy. It thought, ‘That lady was right. I followed Luo Sha and found Zhang Ruochen.’
It wanted to send a message to Bai Qing’er immediately, but it thought that since Guye Jing had left it could take Zhang Ruochen down as he was only in the Hundred-Shackle Realm.
Such opportunity was right in front of its eyes. How could it not fight for it?
Just as it was racking its brain, Zhang Ruochen noticed it. Nine Dimensional Rifts flew over like black lightning.
“That was fast,” said the strange bird.
The strange bird spread its black wings and rushed out like an arrow leaving a bow.
Even so, there was still a Dimensional Rift. It cut through its left-wing and cut off three feathers.
“Zhang Ruochen, I’ll come and meet you today to see how strong you are,” said the strange bird.
The strange bird’s body exploded in mid-air and turned into a cloud of black fog.
A white-haired old woman rushed out of the black fog. Her body was as thin as firewood. She bent her back, but her speed was fast. She arrived in front of Zhang Ruochen in an instant. Her five fingers formed the shape of a claw. It turned golden, and countless ley lines of precepts flowed.
The ordinary claw was a Thousand-Koan level Saint technique.
Golden Star Slicer.
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes were filled with starlight and countless phantoms when the claw struck out.
The claw was sharp like a saint blade.
Whoosh
Zhang Ruochen used the Great Dimensional Shift to dodge.
However, the claw hit and left a mark on his chest.
His sternum hurt, and his internal organs shook. Four blood-red lines appeared on his skin.
“Your body is so strong. Even a claw attack from a Thousand-Koan level saint technique couldn’t break through your skin,” said Dang Hu as she was slightly dazed. She was in disbelief.
Even with the Paramount physique of the Paramount Realm Supreme Saint wouldn’t be able to withstand her claws so easily.
Zhang Ruochen looked down at his chest. He activated the Armor of the Fire God and put it on. He said, “I know you. I’ve seen you in Ji Feng Manor before. You are in the Early-stage of the Banshi Isshou Realm?”
“I’ve joined the Enchanteur Chamber for more than 18,000 years. My name is Dang Hu. Junior, if you still have a streak of sword Qi from the god, I’ll immediately retreat as long as you show it. I won’t fight with you,” Dang Hu said in a probing tone.
Zhang Ruochen released the Profound Spatial Dimension, Null Time realm, and the Realm-frame of Truth. He pretended to be suspicious and said, “Why do I need to use the sword Qi of God to deal with you?”
“Humph! You must have been seriously injured when you stabbed Lord Wuma in Ji Feng Manor. You haven’t fully recovered yet, right? Who gave you the confidence to say such arrogant words?” said Dang Hu.
Dang Hu was confident that Zhang Ruochen would be seriously injured, so she could take him down.
‘How could he recover in just 20 days?’ Dang Hu thought.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t know if Dang Hu had spread the news, so he didn’t dare to delay here. He took out the Divine Dragonbone Whip and pushed the Class Seven Regal Artifact to the extreme. He lashed out.
Instantly, the sky was filled with dragon shadows. Supreme Power and divine dragon power surged toward Dang Hu.
“What a terrifying attack. Zhang Ruochen is still seriously injured?”
Dang Hu’s expression changed slightly. She immediately released her Precept Domain.
The Precept Domain was home to thousands of birds. Among the thousands of birds, a flaming phoenix soared through the sky. The Divine Dragonbone Whip was deflected by its cloud-sized claws.
Rumble
Zhang Ruochen lashed out hundreds of whips, shattering the birds in the sky. Even the light from the flaming phoenix dimmed.
“Divine Slaying Claw.”
Dang Hu rushed into the air and merged with the flaming phoenix, performing a heaven-splitting claw.
This claw contained 60 billion precepts. It was a Banshi Isshou level saint technique.
Because he couldn’t borrow the power of Qiankun Realm, the pressure on Zhang Ruochen significantly increased. The other party was a Supreme Saint in the Banshi Isshou Realm, two realms higher than him.
“Zhang Ruochen, use whatever tricks you have. Otherwise, this claw will destroy you both in body and soul.” The flaming phoenix spoke in human language.
Boom
The claw print landed and shattered the Supreme Saint inscription and array inscription in the manor below.
The powerful destructive force shook all the buildings in the manor to collapse. The high temperature from the flaming phoenix burned them into lava.
The ripples of the battle were no longer concealed and spread throughout the Enchanton.
In the House of Enchanteurs, Bai Qing’er suddenly rushed out of her room and landed on a stargazing platform. She looked into the distance and said, “It’s Dang Hu’s aura.”
Her body became blurry, and she disappeared from the stargazing platform the next moment.
“Oh no, I didn’t hit him. How is this possible? I used a Banshi Isshou level saint technique. 60 billion precepts are locking him down. How can a Supreme Saint in the Hundred-Shackle Realm escape?” said Dang Hu as she was bewildered. She found it hard to understand.
How could she understand the Master of Space who controlled the Canon of Dimension?
Zhang Ruochen walked out of the space above the flaming phoenix. 100 million Divine Marks of Flame appeared on his left leg. He suddenly stomped down, and a terrifying divine power fell.
Boom
The flaming phoenix exploded. Dang Hu screamed and was crushed into a bloody mess by Zhang Ruochen’s stomp.
After 20 years of cultivation, Zhang Ruochen could fully utilize the power of Yanshen’s leg.
Now, he has a divine left leg. It contained infinite divine power. He only needed one stomp to kill a Supreme Saint in the initial stage of the 10,000 death realm.
When Bai Qing’er arrived, Zhang Ruochen had already left. He changed his appearance several times and blended into the crowd.
