Immediately afterward, Jialuo Lan's figure emerged from the Blood River .
Jialuo Lan was a Half-Saint elder of the Death Zen Sect . He was in the same generation as Jialuo Gu and Jialuo Yuan, whom Zhang Ruochen had killed .
He looked to be around 50 years old . He was a bit fat and his golden cassock was open, revealing a round stomach . He kind of looked like a benevolent Buddha .
Another Buddhist also appeared beside him . This was Jialuo Kong . He seemed a bit younger . He was thin, short, and had darker skin . He gave off a cold and sinister feeling .
These two evil monks of the Death Zen Sect both had mysteriously high cultivations . Even Zhang Ruochen couldn't tell their limits .
Since Zhang Ruochen could sense that they'd run into the Space Domain, they must have been able to feel the ripples of spatial power with their cultivations . Thus, it wouldn't be hard for them to guess Zhang Ruochen's identity .
Jialuo Kong's long and narrow eyes glanced at Ghost King Bloodmoon . His eyes shone with sinister light as he chuckled . “I didn't expect that someone as young and talented as the Time and Space Descendant would have this kind of fetish . Enjoying a beautiful Ghost King on an uninhabited island…it definitely is a stimulating experience!”
Zhang Ruochen's eyes turned cold . “Bald donkey, stop your nonsense . Don't think that everyone is like the monks of the Death Zen Sect . ”
“Ah, so I'm speaking nonsense . In that case, Sir Zhang, can you do me a favor at little cost and let me enjoy Ghost King Bloodmoon? If I can suck all her Ghost Qi, I'll definitely break into a higher realm . ”
Jialuo Kong licked his lips, a leer hanging on his face . He didn't try to disguise his evil thoughts at all .
The technique he cultivated was very creepy . It was the Yin-Yang Euphoric Buddha Technique . He could only raise his cultivation by having sex with dead souls to absorb their Yin Qi and Corpse Qi, refining them into his body .
This was disgusting to regular people, but Jialuo Kong indulged in it .
Many times, he would kill a girl when he couldn't find a suitable female corpse and use her to satisfy his cultivation needs .
Ghost King Bloodmoon had extremely high cultivation . The evil Qi contained in her body was naturally very thick as well . If Jialuo Kong could suck her dry, his cultivation would definitely skyrocket .
Plus, Ghost King Bloodmoon was also beautiful . The other female corpses were all cold dead objects, but she was a living thing . This naturally turned Jialuo Kong on .
Ghost King Bloodmoon didn't understand what Jialuo Kong meant, but she could understand that he wanted to suck her power . For her entire life, she'd only devoured other dead and living souls . How could someone dare to devour her?
She shot Zhang Ruochen a look . She wanted to know what decision this human guy would make . Would he really give her away for an evil monk to feed on?
In her opinion, Zhang Ruochen was too weak . He was far from these two monks, so he would choose to give in . If that was the case, she'd have to use her last bit of strength for a suicide attack on these three humans .
If she had to die, they'd die together .
Zhang Ruochen flicked at the corner of his clothes and chuckled . “Do you a favor? I don't even know your names . Why should I do you a favor? Plus, I'm in the middle of interrogating Ghost King Bloodmoon but you've snuck over . If I didn't have the Space Domain and didn't discover you two, wouldn't I be dead already? And yet you ask me to do you a favor . Do you really think I'm easy to fool like a child?”
Ghost King Bloodmoon was surprised . She hadn't expected that he would be able to stand his ground before these two powerful enemies . It seemed that this human Monk wasn't a coward .
But what did interrogation mean?
A mere human dared to say that he was interrogating her . This really was a huge blow to Ghost King Bloodmoon's pride . Her hatred of Zhang Ruochen deepened as well .
Jialuo Kong's expression grew furious . He wanted to burst out, kill Zhang Ruochen, and take Ghost King Bloodmoon . But Jialuo Lan stopped him from the side .
Jialuo Lan was still smiling . He didn't seem angry at all . “Sir Zhang, I don't know why you didn't die under the Nine Serenity Sword Saint's sword, but I do know that you're a wanted criminal of the imperial court . The Empress personally sent orders for you to be captured .
“The powerful cultivators of the imperial court can't do anything to you when you're in the netherworld, but you are destined to forever hide in the shadows . Once you return to the Kunlun's Field, an endless stream of people will try to capture you, kill you, and bring your head to the empress in exchange for a reward .
“The Death Zen Sect doesn't fear the imperial court, but we despise it . If I were you, I would work with the Death Zen Sect instead of becoming our enemy .
“You are a top genius . If you join us, you will definitely become someone of importance . Even if the imperial court wants to kill you, the Death Zen Sect will stop them for you . If possible, we can even overthrow them . At that time, you won't have to hide anymore . You can do whatever you wish without worry . ”
Jialuo Lan's intentions were clear in his words . He wanted Zhang Ruochen to join the Death Zen Sect .
Of course, it was possible he only wanted to fool Zhang Ruochen . When the suitable moment came, they would kill him without mercy .
Hearing this, Zhang Ruochen just smiled thinly . He thought for a while before speaking . “This is your first time sensing the power of space and you've already determined my identity . The Death Zen Sect must have collected much information about me before, correct?”
Jialuo Lan's eyes narrowed . “The Death Zen Sect's enemy is Empress Chi Yao . Thus, Empress Chi Yao's enemy is our friend . You are the only criminal in the past century that the empress personally ordered to be caught . How can my sect not pay attention to that? Even the Elder has personally mentioned your name before . ”
This actually shocked Zhang Ruochen . “The Death Zen Elder has mentioned me before?”
Jialuo Lan nodded . “He once said that in present day, only the Time and Space Descendant can fight against Empress Chi Yao when he matures . ”
This was why Jialuo Lan wanted to get close to Zhang Ruochen . If he could bring the actual Time and Space Descendant to the Elder, it would be a great accomplishment .
Zhang Ruochen laughed . “The Death Zen Elder thinks highly of me . ”
“Sir Zhang, you are an intelligent man . You should know how to choose . ”
Jialuo Lan was still smiling, but there was a threatening undertone to his voice . Zhang Ruochen glanced at the two evil monks of the Death Zen Sect . It was naturally clear that if he refused them, they would kill him .
However, he would never go against his morals . “Our Ways are different . ”
Jialuo Kong clenched his fists and his ten fingers cracked . He laughed sharply . “Well said . In that case, there's no need to keep wasting time . Senior Brother, capture him and take him back to the Elder . With the Elder's skills, he might be able to rob him of his ability to control time and space . ”
The two evil monks wiped away their smiles . Powerful bursts of murderous intent surged from their bodies .
Whoosh!
The river started spinning under their feet, forming two whirlpools 100 feet wide .
Zhang Ruochen was still composed . He scanned the surroundings . Other than the two monks, there were also more than 100 Half-Saint puppets . They stood in the distance in a battle formation that surrounded the entire island .
Clearly, the two monks were also worried that Zhang Ruochen would use the saint decree or the power of space to escape . That was why they'd used this battle formation to block all exits .
Jialuo Lan pulled out a golden pole as thick as one's arm and wrapped it in Holy Qi . Slowly, it flew into the air, radiating with extremely powerful saintly might . There were 765 inscriptions inside . It was a powerful Hundred-Pattern Saint Weapon .
Kaboom!
Jialuo Lan activated the golden pole to its greatest state . Various ancient Buddhist runes flew out and hovered in the air . They shone brilliantly, turning the entire place gold .
Before the pole fell down, Zhang Ruochen already felt great pressure . It was like his scalp was about to crack apart . Other than the Shooting Star Invisible Cloak, his other clothes all turned to dust .
He was a third level Half-Saint .
Zhang Ruochen immediately determined Jialuo Lan's cultivation . It was exactly what he'd thought .
“Eight Directions Attack!” Jialuo Lan roared .
The golden pole transformed into a streak of light . It flew out quickly, shooting surely toward Zhang Ruochen on the island .
Zhang Ruochen didn't dodge it at all . He activated his powerful Sword Intent and called in his mind, Sword One .
The inscriptions on the Abyss Ancient Sword quickly emerged . The strongest power burst out, transforming into a beam of Sword Qi . It went to face the golden pole .
With a loud boom, the two powerful saint weapons clashed . A strong gust of shockwaves spread out in all directions .
Soon after, there was a huge explosion from the small island in the river . Smoke and dust rose up .
Jialuo Lan stood on the river and looked in the distance . The island was split in half . There were even tidal waves around it . A smirk instantly appeared on his menacing face . That attack was more than enough to kill 100 Monks in the Ninth Change of the Fish-Dragon Realm .
The so-called Time and Space Descendant should have been reduced to ashes now .
Jialuo Lan sighed with regret . “If he used the power of space to escape, he might have a chance to live . But he's a mere Monk in the Fish-Dragon Realm and he dared to go against me directly . How is this different from a raw egg trying to hit a rock? But it is a pity that I couldn't bring him to the Elder . ”
Jialuo Kong also felt disappointed . If he could have brought the Time and Space Descendant to the Elder, he would have accomplished something great .
But the next moment, Jialuo Lan and Jialuo Kong's eyes almost fell out of their sockets .
“How is this possible?”
After the smoke dissipated on the island, they saw Zhang Ruochen still standing in his original spot . He looked tall and his back was straight, as if he'd never even budged .
