God Emperor

Chapter 1296: Clash

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

Countless blood-red lines appeared on the ground. They were like thousands upon thousands of bloody creeks. Covering hundreds of miles on the ground, even the sky turned red from the reflection.

All the Blood Saints from the Motian, Qitian, and Fengtian Tribes came out of the bloody creeks. There were close to 20 Blood Saints combined.

Among them, the leaders of the three tribes were all top figures. Their abilities were comparable to Zhu Qingyi.

Faced with such a strong group, Martial Saint Canglan’s expression changed. Instead of choosing to clash head-on, she chose to retreat immediately, rushing into Xianji Mountain with the other Saints.

“I’ve always wanted one of the Nine Heavenly Maidens as a mistress. Martial Saint Canglan is a good choice, haha.”

The leader of the Motian Tribe was Blood Saint Miefeng. He was 30 feet tall and his body was as thick as a millstone. He laughed heartily and grabbed a silver sword. He rushed forward and cut down before Martial Saint Canglan and the Twelve White Feather Saints, stopping them from leaving.

Sword Qi flowed like a river. It was thousands of meters long and swept downward. Every Sword Qi that landed would cut a huge trench on the ground.

Martial Saint Canglan huffed coldly. She twisted her attractive body and the saint sword on her back flew out of its sheath. Like a beam of white light, it crashed against Blood Saint Miefeng’s battle sword.

Boom.

White fog trembled violently. Countless beams of Sword Qi surged, producing loud whistles.

In the end, Blood Saint Miefeng couldn’t block Martial Saint Canglan’s sword technique. Sword Qi fell upon him like rain, crashing against his armor.

“As expected of the Nine Heavenly Maidens. You’re indeed powerful.”

After Blood Saint Miefeng flew back, there were various dents in his armor. Blood Qi surged within him. If his defenses weren’t strong enough, he might have been injured already.

After all, Blood Saint Miefeng was a Heaven Pass Blood General. Among the Immortal Vampires, only the strongest of the Heaven Pass Realm Saints could qualify for that title. They were known as the strongest of all beings below the True Saint Realm.

There were only a few Heaven Pass Blood Generals in each tribe. Each of them was a mighty figure. If they used their hidden cards, they could even fight with a True Saint.

“She defeated Blood Saint Miefeng with one strike. She can’t be underestimated.”

Zhu Qingyi’s eyes turned even colder. She transformed into black smoke and chased into Xianji Mountain. She carried overwhelming murderous Qi. There was no way she could let Martial Saint Canglan and the Twelve White Feather Saints leave.

At the same time, the other three leaders and Blood Saints of the four tribes transformed into streaks of light. With loud booms, they pursued from different directions.

A moment later, deafening battle explosions sounded within Xianji Mountain. The beasts all fled in fear. Some ran out of the mountain; others escaped deep into the mountain.

Zhang Ruochen, Huang Yanchen, and Qing Mo walked out of the white fog. They looked toward the source of the noise.

Their eyes were all solemn and grave. There were large amounts of Saints from both the imperial court and Immortal Vampires in Xianji Mountain. It definitely wasn’t good news.

“They have the same goal as us. They’re here for Gu Songzi too.” Huang Yanchen’s eyes were filled with worry.

The Pill Saint that the Crazy Alcoholic spoke of was named Gu Songzi.

“How come I heard that Gu Songzi received the formula for the Hua Divine Pill,” Qing Mo said. “The Hua Divine Pill is a legendary Divine Pill. It’s like a Saintly Source. As long as a Half-Saint ingests the Hua Divine Pill, he’ll have a very big chance of becoming a Saint.”

Zhang Ruochen naturally knew the value of the Hua Divine Pill. Apparently, a Pill Sect in the middle ages was able to produce this kind of pill and created a golden era. Merely one sect was able to produce thousands of Saints.

Unfortunately, great goods come with great losses. The Hua Divine Pill was honestly too valuable and countless people were jealous. The sect was met with disaster and destroyed by a mysterious force.

After the sect was destroyed, the formula for the Hua Divine Pill disappeared too.

“I don’t know where they got the information,” Zhang Ruochen said. “However, if the formula reappears, the various forces will definitely act as soon as they get the news. We must find Senior Gu Songzi before them.”

“But large amounts of Immortal Vampire Saints have entered Xianji Mountain,” Qing Mo said, a bit worried. “If we run into them, we’ll be dead.”

“The Immortal Vampires want to kill me, but I want to kill them too. It should be time that the Shi Family has finished producing the Blood Repression Runes.”

Murderous intent emerged in Zhang Ruochen’s eyes.

Before going to the Yin Yang Sea, Zhang Ruochen had sent ten million drops of divine blood to the Shi Family so they could help produce Blood Repression Runes. If this batch was fully completed, Zhang Ruochen could kill whoever he wanted when faced with the Immortal Vampires.

He could even repress a strong cultivator like Zhu Qingyi.

“Yanchen,” he said. “Visit the Pluto Sword Tomb and take out that batch of Blood Repression Runes for me.”

Huang Yanchen was clear about the current situation too. Pondering, she said, “I’ll go to the Pluto Sword Tomb alone. Qing Mo will remain to protect you. With your current health, you can’t force anything when you run into danger.”

“Don’t worry. I’m not unreasonable like that.” Zhang Ruochen smiled.

Huang Yanchen turned to leave.

“Yanchen,” Zhang Ruochen called.

Then he walked over and caressed her snow-white cheek with a hand. He pressed a light kiss onto her lips.

Huang Yanchen blushed and actually grew nervous. She stopped breathing and her long lashes trembled. The two stared at each other, eyes filled with emotion.

A moment later, their lips separated.

“You should be careful too,” Zhang Ruochen reminded. “Battle has erupted everywhere in Kunlun’s Field. Nowhere is safe.”

After Huang Yanchen left, Zhang Ruochen and Qing Mo also entered Xianji Mountain.

This wasn’t only one mountain. Instead, Xianji Mountain was a cluster of rolling mountains and forests. It took up a very large expanse. Even Saints would have difficulty going deep into it.

The sounds of battle were scattered in different directions. Clearly, the four Immortal Vampire tribes and Martial Saint Canglan and the Twelve White Feather Saints had separated into different battlefields.

Or, one party was executing a siege.

Zhang Ruochen didn’t want to get involved in their battle. With his white robes, he looked like a weak scholar and hurried along the road.

Qing Mo followed behind him without any of a Saint’s presence. She was no different from a little servant.

Hearing the battles, she seemed anxious. Her eyes kept darting around and her lips quivered. Finally, she couldn’t help it anymore. “Lord, Martial Saint Canglan and the Twelve White Feather Saints aren’t the Immortal Vampires’ match. Shouldn’t we help them?”

“I don’t have anything to do with them. Why should I take such a large risk to help them?” Zhang Ruochen asked in return without looking back.

Martial Saint Canglan and the Twelve White Feather Saints were Chi Yao’s guards, but Zhang Ruochen didn’t transfer his hatred of Chi Yao onto them. It was just like how he didn’t hate the Saint Lady, one of the Nine Heavenly Maidens, and instead saw her as a close friend.

He didn’t want to fight because he was heavily injured. He couldn’t even protect himself, so he obviously couldn’t help others and get into more trouble.

“Now, the most important task is to find Gu Songzi and repair my meridians.”

Qing Mo wanted to persuade Zhang Ruochen. “But a human Saintess will definitely be humiliated at the hands of the Immortal Vampires,” she continued. “Especially Martial Saint Canglan, one of the Nine Heavenly Maidens. If she’s captured, this will affect the entire human army’s morale. If Zhilin Pass is breached, the Immortal Vampires will conquer Red River Mansion. How many more humans will die? How many more will become the food of the Immortal Vampires?

“Lord, you’ve always cared for humanity. You’re not as cold as you seem. Can you really stand seeing the Immortal Vampires humiliate the humans?”

Zhang Ruochen stopped walking and turned. He stared into Qing Mo’s eyes. Qing Mo hurriedly lowered her head, not daring to meet Zhang Ruochen’s gaze.

“Who taught you to say that? Yanchen?”

Zhang Ruochen didn’t think that Qing Mo was wise enough to say those words. Not only was she able to analyze everything, she’d also given him the lofty title of caring for humanity.

Qing Mo didn’t reply.

Kaboom.

Up ahead, strong Holy Qi swept through the entire mountain. A black sickle flew over Zhang Ruochen and Qing Mo’s heads. Then came a woman’s pained cry.

Drops of saintly blood rained down.

With a thud, a female Saint in white armor fell into the forest not far from Zhang Ruochen and Qing Mo. All the trees there toppled, turning into decaying dirt.

That female Saint was badly injured. She clutched her stomach where there was a long bloody gash. What weapon had hurt her?

Evil black Qi flowed out of her injury, shrouding her slender frame. Her pallor was sickly pale and her expression was pained.

Whoosh!

Another Saintess in white flew down, flapping her wings. She held a saintly sword. Hurriedly helping the Saintess up, she said, “Yuansu, I’ll help you leave.”

“You want to leave?” A cold laugh rang out.

Then a Blood Saint with a menacing face charged out of the white fog. He held a sickle stained with blood and had a pair of blood wings. He blocked the two Saintess’ exit path.

Another bald Blood Saint also ran out. Eyes filled with lust, he sneered and said, “I heard that you 72 Saintesses all live in Ziwei Palace. You’re the closest officials to the Empress. Usually, you’re all high and mighty. Even the county and region lords have to be polite with you. I wonder what those humans who view you as goddesses will think if I capture one of you and turn you into a sex slave. Ha.”

Three more Blood Saints hurried over.

Five Blood Saints in total surrounded the two Saintesses. They all laughed as if already declaring their fate.
