Zhang Ruochen looked over at Jialuo Lan in the distance . “Is this the power of a third level Half-Saint?”
Jialuo Lan was only in the beginning of the third level Half-Saint Realm, but he still was far stronger than a Monk in the Fish-Dragon Realm . The two evil monks couldn't figure out how Zhang Ruochen could block that hit .
Jialuo Lan sneered . “No wonder you could hurt a Ghost King . I must admit that you're powerful, but don't think that you can be my match . That would be a grave mistake . ”
Whoosh!
The golden pole rushed out of the water, making huge waves . It hovered in the sky again with a golden tail .
Jialuo Lan put his hands together and chanted a Buddhist mantra . Then golden runes appeared on his body . They peeled off his skin and flew into the air, connecting with the runes on the golden pole .
Jialuo Kong didn't attack . He just watched from the side .
Firstly, he had absolute confidence in Jialuo Lan . A third level Half-Saint was obviously able to take care of a Monk in the Fish-Dragon Realm .
Secondly, no matter how low Zhang Ruochen's cultivation was, he was still the only Time and Space Descendant . He was definitely skilled in time and spatial attacks . Both Jialuo Lan and Jialuo Kong were unfamiliar with these types of powers . Thus he had to be careful about Zhang Ruochen's sneak attacks .
After all, if a Half-Saint was prepared, it would be pretty impossible for Zhang Ruochen to succeed in a sneak attack .
Like right now, Jialuo Lan didn't have to get close to Zhang Ruochen . He just stood in the distance and activated his saint weapon's attack .
Even if Zhang Ruochen could manipulate time and space, he still wouldn't pose a threat .
After the previous battle, Zhang Ruochen had an idea about the third level Half-Saint's power . Jialuo Lan was much stronger than he'd predicted .
On the surface, it seemed that they had been equals in the last match . But actually, Zhang Ruochen was hurt . He just didn't show it .
I must get close . It's only possible to win in a short-range fight .
Thinking of this, Zhang Ruochen stopped hesitating . Activating the Shooting Star Invisibility Cloak's power, he transformed into a streak of light . He shot forward, attacking Jialuo Kong first .
So fast . Jialuo Kong was slightly shocked . He would've never imagined that a Fish-Dragon Realm Monk could have such amazing speed . Even when Jialuo Kong used a physical technique to its extreme, he was still slower than Zhang Ruochen .
“Sword One . ”
Zhang Ruochen was almost melded into the Abyss Ancient Sword . Like a beam of light with a long trail behind him, he attacked the point between Jialuo Kong's eyebrows .
Jialuo Kong pressed forward .
The golden pole sank down from the sky . It flashed brilliantly and blocked Jialuo Kong .
The tip of the Abyss Ancient Sword crashed against the tip of the golden pole . The two equal strengths clashed . A great amount of Sword Qi and Buddhist runes flew out in all directions .
They hit the battle formation outside Blood River, setting off ripples and consecutive pops .
This guy's power…is actually my match .
Jialuo Kong pushed his hands out at once, pouring Buddhist Qi into the golden pole . It was beyond his understanding for a Fish-Dragon Realm Monk to have such great power . He had to go all out to block the attacks .
What he didn't know was that Zhang Ruochen wasn't only using his five Saintly Meridians to move the Holy Qi . He was even using the 36 meridians . In that moment, the amount of Holy Qi that Zhang Ruochen could use was double that of Jialuo Kong's . This was enough to make up for the difference in realm .
There was a bigger reason: they were in the netherworld .
A Half-Saint's biggest advantage was that he'd cultivated a saint soul already . He could manipulate all the Spiritual Qi within thousands of miles and convert it into his own power .
But there was no Spiritual Qi in the netherworld . Both Fish-Dragon Realm Monks and Half-Saints had to use their own strength . This was undeniably an advantage to Zhang Ruochen .
If he had to fight Jialuo Kong in Kunlun's Field, it was highly possible that he would lose . But in the netherworld, Zhang Ruochen definitely wouldn't be defeated .
Suddenly, Jialuo Kong discovered something terrifying . The golden pole was actually melting into golden liquid and flowing toward Zhang Ruochen's black sword .
The huge black sword absorbed the golden liquid, turning it into various inscriptions .
His sword is refining my saint weapon .
Jialuo Kong's eyes widened in both shock and fury .
The golden pole wasn't on the Hundred-pattern Saint Weapon List, but it was still a powerful weapon . It could be a top weapon amongst the Hundred-pattern Saint Weapons too .
Without it, Jialuo Kong's combat ability would be halved . If he met Half-Saints of the same level, he could only run away .
Jialuo Kong was now in a difficult position . Zhang Ruochen's black sword was horribly powerful . It was close as well . If he took the golden pole back, he would have no time to retreat . The black sword would stab through him .
But if the stalemate continued and the black sword refined the golden pole entirely, it would be even more impossible to escape .
At that moment, Jialuo Kong realized that he'd really underestimated the Time and Space Descendant .
Jialuo Lan clearly saw that something was wrong with Jialuo Kong too . It felt like the Time and Space Descendant was in control instead of the other way around .
“Amitabha!”
Without waiting anymore, Jialuo Lan uttered a Buddhist chant . Then his skin turned gold as he attacked Zhang Ruochen from the back with a palm print .
Seeing Jialuo Lan attack, Jialuo Kong was instantly overjoyed .
Zhang Ruochen furrowed his brow . If the two evil monks attacked him at once, he would be defeated even if he used all his techniques .
In that case…he had to use all his might to kill one .
Zhang Ruochen slammed down on the Abyss Ancient Sword's hilt . He activated all the Sword Intent, fusing it with the sword .
“Break!”
With a boom, cracks appeared on the golden pole . Then it exploded; dozens of golden shards flew out .
The Abyss Ancient Sword's power didn't abate . It passed through the shards, continuing toward Jialuo Kong's forehead .
“The Buddhist Way is boundless!” Jialuo Kong roared .
He gathered eerie Corpse Qi with his left hand and bright Buddhist light in his right . He put them together before him and stopped the Abyss Ancient Sword with his bare hands .
One must admit that a third level Half-Saint was very powerful . Zhang Ruochen had the absolute advantage, but he still couldn't kill Jialuo Kong .
At that moment, Jialuo Lan's palm print was already behind Zhang Ruochen . He could feel the burning heat without turning around .
Zhang Ruochen multitasked with his strong mental power . He used the Sword Intent to control the Abyss Ancient Sword against Jialuo Kong . At the same time, he turned around . Manipulating spatial power, he waved backwards .
“Spatial Crack . ”
Without a sound, the space opened, revealing a black crack more than 10 meters long .
Jialuo Lan's expression changed . He immediately pulled his palm print back and moved right with his fastest speed . He just barely dodged the spatial crack . By the time he regained his footing, he still hadn't recovered from the terror . Sweat beaded on his forehead .
Was this the power of space?
It was too dangerous . He'd been so close to falling into the endless void .
A cry of pain entered Jialuo Lan's ears .
A moment ago, Zhang Ruochen had used the spatial crack to force Jialuo Lan back . Then he used the Spatial Move and appeared behind Jialuo Kong, slamming a palm into his back .
Jialuo Kong's bones shattered and he flew out, spitting blood . Unfortunately, a beam of Sword Qi hacked down before he could land in the water . He was split into two halves . Blood splattered into the river .
All these actions had happened in the blink of an eye . Each seemed to have been practiced thousands of times . Jialuo Kong didn't have any chance of survival .
Another Half-Saint elder of the Death Zen Sect had died under Zhang Ruochen's sword .
After killing Jialuo Kong, Zhang Ruochen immediately stored the corpse in his spatial ring, sealing it .
The moment Jialuo Kong died, all the Half-Saint puppets around Blood River were no longer controlled by Buddhist power . They fell backwards and became dead bodies again, floating in the river .
The battle formation that Jialuo Kong and Jialuo Lan had established together shattered as well .
This way, Zhang Ruochen had completely resolved the danger . He could escape easily, even without defeating Jialuo Lan .
On the island, Ghost King Bloodmoon stood up slowly . Her bright eyes fell upon Zhang Ruochen . “The Space and Time Descendant? He can teleport in addition to tearing the space apart . I've really underestimated him . He's quite something . ”
Even Ghost King Bloodmoon had never met anyone who could manipulate space . This was why she was so impressed .
If she could control time and space, the other Ghost Kings would all be intimidated by her .
She stared deeply into Zhang Ruochen . She pondered how she could capture Zhang Ruochen and force him to tell her the secret methods to controlling time and space .
She didn't plan on disturbing the two humans fighting on the river . While they fought, she would absorb the power of moonlight and recover, building up her Ghost Qi .
