God Emperor

Chapter 1794: Shi Kai

“Who is Shi Kai?”

Suspicion was growing in Zhang Ruochen’s heart when he saw a swarm of flaming boulders flying over like a meteor shower, cutting through the night, and letting out rumbling sounds as they bombarded Luocheng.

Not good.

If those flaming boulders were to fall into the city, the cultivators may be able to save themselves, but the common people would definitely perish.

Both the civilians and martial artists in Luocheng were all trembling and many fell onto the ground.

“The end... the end is nigh...”

“Please, master cultivators, save us, the city will be forever grateful.”

...

The saint cultivators in the city all looked grim, and wanted to only preserve their strength to fight against the foes from the Infernal Court, and did not have any intention to protect the humans in Luocheng.

Protecting those mortals will only put them in danger.

Whoosh!!

Zhang Ruochen waved his sleeve and eighteen flags flew out and were planted on eighteen positions around Luocheng.

That was the Flag Array Blackie had refined, called the ‘Conflagration of Heaven and Earth Formation’. It was said that this formation array was a Ninth-Rank formation, and it took hundred-and-eight of the flags to fully unleash its power.

But, due to limited resources, it had only managed to refine eighteen flags.

Of course, whether this formation was called the ‘Conflagration of Heaven and Earth’ or not is unknown. After all, Blackie’s naming schemes had always been flamboyant.

“Deploy.”

Zhang Ruochen roared as his long hair fluttered and halos of saint light burst out of his body and enveloped Luocheng within.

The saint Qi in the light were infused into the eighteen flags.

Immediately, the flagpoles turned into an iron column as thick as a millstone, as the flags unfolded and covered the sky.

A dense swarm of flame pythons rushed out of the flags and weaved together to form a giant net that wrapped around the city beneath it.

Boom!! Boom!!

Boom!

Over tens of thousands of flaming boulders came raining down, and collided with the Conflagration of Heaven and Earth Array.

This wave of attack lasted over a dozen breaths before it ended, and all of the boulders were blocked by the formation array. The civilians in the city heaved a long sigh of relief, and many old folks were simply frightened and fell onto the ground.

All of those saint cultivators looked surprised.

Not only they were surprised that the cripple actually would save the mortals of Luocheng. They were even more surprised that he had such a powerful flag formation with him.

The cripple was really a powerful person.

Just when all of the saint cultivators relaxed a little.

There was a deafening explosion from inside Saint Xu Place. A stone golem bigger than Saint Xu Place burst out from the ground and tore a nanmu drum tower, which was more than twenty feet high, to pieces.

The stone golems hands grabbed both Black Phoenix and White Zhuque and pulled them down from the air.

“Oh no, Shi Kai was hiding... in the city...”

Both Black Phoenix and White Zhuque were caught off guard, and just as they were about to swing their saint swords to break both of Shi Kai’s hands, they found out that his hands were covered with wards and suppressed the whole of their strength.

“A Stone-clan Supreme Saint’s Forbidden Wards.” White Zhuque’s face turned pale.

“You b*tches, pursuing me for hundreds of miles, and today, I will make you suffer the worst of agony.” The giant golem let out an angry roar from its mouth, and its eyes glowed with fire.

“Both Black Phoenix and White Zhuque are both top-class scions of heaven. Their strength is no weaker than that golem’s, but for them to be so easily ambushed by it, their combat experience is just insufficient.” Zhang Ruochen sighed and shook his head.

At this moment, Zhang Ruochen had to go all out in controlling the ‘Conflagration of Heaven and Earth Array’ to resist the golems outside the city, and simply could not help them.

He too did not know what purpose the golem had as it tossed both the ladies down onto the ground, and bombarded them with over a dozen punches, wounding them seriously, before using two chains to lock onto their necks and dragging both of them out of the city.

Both of the cocoon-like protection on Black Phoenix and White Zhuque were long shattered, and revealing an almost suffocating beautiful facade. Any male cultivators who saw their beautiful faces would have love and pity welling in their hearts.

But at this moment, both of them were miserable as they grabbed onto the chains on their neck, and futilely trying to break free.

“Let the two maidens go.”

A few saint cultivators rushed out and tried to save the Black and White Beauties.

“Get lost.”

The stone golem waved its ten-feet-long arm out and formed a saint Qi wave, instantly vaporizing them into clouds of blood.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The stone golem walked past and left a series of broken as on the slate ground in its wake.

Seeing that it was going out of Luocheng, Zhang Ruochen went all out, and the saint Qi in his body poured out like a tide.

The Conflagration of Heaven and Earth Array unleashed a large burst of flames, which turned into a like wave of inferno several meters high that rushed out and turned all of the ten thousands of stone golems outside the city into molten slag.

That stone golem called ‘Shi Kai’ suddenly turned around and stared at Zhang Ruochen standing in the middle of the street and laughed. “There’s a powerful one here, Qi Xiaotian, I’ll leave him to you!”

In the face of the flames from the array flags, Shi Kai walked over to one of them and grabbed the flagpole with its stone arm.

“What?”

Zhang Ruochen was slightly taken aback and realized that the flames from the array flags could not do anything to Shi Kai.

A network of red wards appeared on its stone body, and the flames could not get close.

Shi Kai pulled up the array flag and tossed it towards Zhang Ruochen.

Shi Kai’s cultivation level was very powerful and was probably the peak of an Eight-step Saint King, plus with that terrifying power on his body, Zhang Ruochen did not dare to face him head-on.

Zhang Ruochen backed away like a bolt of lightning.

BOOM!! BOOM!!

The flagpole was planted on the position where Zhang Ruochen had stood earlier, and the millstone-sized pole fully sank into the ground and kicked up a large number of rocks, collapsing many homes in the process.

Shi Kai no longer bothered with Zhang Ruochen as it dragged both Black Phoenix and White Zhuque into the darkness.

“Why would it let the humans of Luocheng go?”

Zhang Ruochen was a little confused, and just as he wanted to chase after Black Phoenix and White Zhuque to rescue them, suddenly, the black clouds above his head were pierced by a blood light as a cauldron with countless dazzling patterns on it appeared in the blood light.

The blood-red cauldron was the size of a palace, and there were some ancient magical marks on it.

Zhang Ruochen stopped and took a closer look, only to see that within the cauldron were countless of fresh human blood.

Voosh!

The light from the cauldron blasted out as it exuded a strange power.

The humans in Luocheng felt extreme pain and all of them screamed. The blood within their body was crashing uncontrollably against the blood vessels as if wanting to burst out of the body.

“So it was this blasted thing that had consumed the blood of the fisherfolks.” Zhang Ruochen activated the power of the Fire God’s Gauntlet and both his arms were ablaze.

The Butcher and the Fool walked out swaggeringly from the ruins.

The Butcher’s built was burly and carried a powerful sinister aura around him. “Little brother, you are no match for Qi Xiaotian, leave him to us. You go and rescue those two beauties!”

“I don’t like playing hero saving the damsel,” the Fool said with a smile and looked like the Laughing Buddha.

The Butcher raised his head and looked at the blood-red cauldron in the sky and said. “The two of us had been investigating who was causing trouble at Luosheng, so that’s... why... we...are in... Luocheng...”

Bam!!

The Butcher fell onto the ground with his head looking up, and slammed head-first into a piece of gravel.

“Watch out!” Zhang Ruochen thought that the Butcher had suffered a sneak attack, and immediately activated his armor of words, and let out a vigilant expression.

The Fool still kept on smiling as he waved his head. “It’s okay, it’s okay, he just fainted at the sight of blood!”

Zhang Ruochen was stunned.

Fainted at the sight of blood?

Boom!! Boom!!

The aura around the Fool suddenly changed as a dazzling golden light exuded from his whole body, and a silhouette of a golden pagoda rushed out from his body and covered him within it.

His bare feet suddenly stamped against the ground, and he blasted off into the sky like a cannonball.

BAM!!

The golden pagoda rushed to the sky and collided with the blood-red cauldron.

One pagoda and another cauldron actually flew above the clouds.

With a loud bang, a strong saint power shockwave blasted out from the sky, shattering all of the black clouds in the radius of thousands of miles.

That seemingly harmless and gluttonous fool was actually a superhuman?

Zhang Ruochen was still a little confused, and then he looked at the Butcher who had fainted due to the sight of blood, he got even more confused.

No longer dwelling on it, Zhang Ruochen picked up the fainted butcher, and deployed his Greater Dimensional Shift, and rushed out of Luocheng. With a wave of his sleeve, he recalled all of the eighteen flagpoles.

After a roughly-four-hundred-mile pursuit, Zhang Ruochen saw Shi Kai in the distance and was slightly glad.

Both Black Phoenix and White Zhuque were fairly decent sainthood cultivators, and would not indiscriminately kill mortals, plus they were also doing their best against the cultivators of the Infernal Court. Zhang Ruochen did not wish for these two powerful persons to fall.

Of course, Zhang Ruochen also knew that if he were to face Shi Kai head-on, he was most likely not Shi Kai’s match.

And so, he could only win this battle by his wits and not recklessness.

Both Black Phoenix and White Zhuque were overjoyed when they saw the cripple pursuing them from behind as if the two who were about to drown were tossed a life-saving rope.

Shi Kai glanced behind it, and a smile appeared on its stony face.

WHOOSH!!

Suddenly, a torrent of blood came out of nowhere.

It was a swarm of Bloodbats, and each was the size of a dustpan and claws as sharp as blades. Some of the Bloodbats were as big as a hill, and they unleashed a tyrannical aura.

Zhang Ruochen was swarmed by the bats, and he killed hundreds in a row. As he did not want to get bogged down by them, he prepared to use his Greater Dimensional Shift to continue to pursue Shi Kai.

Suddenly...

Zhang Ruochen saw a familiar slender figure on the back of one of the Bloodbats.

“It’s her. She’s actually not dead.” Zhang Ruochen was surprised.

On the back of the Bloodbat stood a woman full of sinister beauty. Her snow-white body was wrapped in a blood-red mist, making her voluptuous chest, slender waist, and long legs appear fleetingly. She was extremely alluring.

This woman was the Goddess of the Fane of Immortality, Yinghuo.

After Chi Yao had become a goddess, she went to kill the ten blood emperors of the Immortal Vampires, and after that, the imperial army invaded the Northern Region in a massive operation to wipe out all of the Immortal Vampires in Kunlun Realm.

Who would have thought that this demoness was still alive?
