God Emperor

Chapter 1985: Fighting Cang Long Again

On Mount Kongyue outside Shengming City, Shang Ziyan and a group of powerhouses were standing together while looking down on Shengming City. They were observing the battle inside the city with utmost clarity.

Shengming City had been destroyed, with almost half of the city smashed into the ground. Corpses littered the ground as if it was a scene from hell.

By Shang Ziyan’s side was a young 14- or 15-year-old boy clad in a robe. He had a handsome face, and every inch of his skin radiated sacred light.

He was none other than Chi Kunlun who had sworn to seek vengeance from Zhang Ruochen back in the Celestial Domain of Truth. He had the body of a true god and was a controller of space. His potential for growth was unlimited.

Chi Kunlun had originally fought on the Battlefield of Merits and killed countless Infernal Court cultivators. However, he had gotten trapped by the elites of the Heavenly Realm faction and fallen into Shang Ziyan’s hands.

“Ziyan, what are you doing expending so much effort for this kid? A look of confusion appeared in Si Han’s eyes.

Shang Ziyan smiled, saying. “This kid must have a great link to Zhang Ruochen. Perhaps keeping him might be of use later.”

“Kill me if you can. While I may have blood feuds with Zhang Ruochen, you can forget about getting me to help you deal with Zhang Ruochen!” Chi Kunlun snorted coldly.

Although he hated Zhang Ruochen, he would definitely never work with anyone from the Heavenly Realm faction.

“Ziyan, Zhang Ruochen is already outside Shengming City, want to take capture him now?” Si Han asked again, as his gaze locked onto Zhang Ruochen who was fast approaching Shengming City.

Shang Ziyan also cast his gaze over and said lightly. “There are people inside Shengming City that will deal with Zhang Ruochen. He can’t escape even if he wanted to. Let’s head over to the Peacock Manor first, capture Kong Lanyou, and destroy the Ming Sect. I want Zhang Ruochen to watch as his friends and family die one by one.”

He had already arranged plenty of elites in Shengming City to ensure that Zhang Ruochen could not escape, so he had no worries at all now.

The attack on Shengming City was indeed a ploy set by Shang Ziyan to lure Zhang Ruochen over.

Otherwise, why would he need to mobilize so many people to deal with that small bit of cultivators in Shengming City. Any Nine-step Saint King could just annihilate them.

Now that Shengming City was on the verge of completely falling, even if there were fishes that had slipped through the net, it was nothing but a futile struggle.

At this moment, Shang Ziyan took out a warship and set off for Peacock Manor.

In contrast, he paid more attention to Kong Lanyou. After all, Kong Lanyou was once a Supreme Saint, and even if her Immortal Body was shattered, her strength was definitely not to be underestimated.

On the other side, Zhang Ruochen and Mu Lingxi approached Shengming City at the greatest speed.

Seeing the murderous aura rising from Shengming City, Zhang Ruochen’s heart sank to the bottom.

From a distance, Zhang Ruochen saw two figures standing on top of a tower. One of them was Cang Ling, and another one looking even stronger, with even more disheveled hair. The aura exuded from that person was as majestic as an ancient divine mountain and was not at all beneath Cang Long.

“Zhang Ruochen, you’re finally here. I’ve been waiting.” Cang Long sneered.

Zhang Ruochen stopped and looked at Cang Long. “Loser, you actually dare to show your face before me again.”

Hearing this, Cang Long’s face suddenly became gloomy as he said. “Who are you calling a loser? If you did not borrow any external force, you would have perished in my hands the last time!”

“So, what if I borrowed external powers? You still ended up losing to me, running away like a coward.” Zhang Ruochen sneered.

Just as Cang Long was about to retort, an even harsher voice rang out. “Cang Long, what are you pretending for? You’re straight-up impotent, otherwise, how could Ruan Ling become Lord Chen’s woman? You have been pursuing Ruan Ling for ages and could not even touch her finger, yet our Lord Chen dominated her in just minutes!

“If I were you, I’d find a piece of tofu and kill myself by bashing myself with it. How could I even have the face to come out a further embarrass myself?”

Hearing this, forget Cang Long, even Zhang Ruochen was dumbstruck.

Zhang Ruochen already knew who the pottymouth was without even needing to look.

Baaam!!

A pothole appeared in the ground as the Head Rat dug out of it with a wretched smile on his face.

“Lord Chen, why were you two in such a hurry? You made me chase you two all the way here, and I’ve finally caught up.” The Head Rat panted a little.

It was obvious that he had not even figured out the situation yet and did not know why Zhang Ruochen and Mu Lingxi had rushed here for.

Otherwise, with his timid and fearful character, he would not dare to join in the fun like this.

Mu Lingxi turned and looked at Zhang Ruochen, obviously wanting Zhang Ruochen to give her a reasonable explanation.

“The story is rather long. I’ll talk about it... later.” Zhang Ruochen secretly transmitted his voice.

Mu Lingxi was a person who knew time and place for everything and understood this was not the time for all this, so she did not pursue the question.

Cang Long’s face was flushed red, and almost spat a mouthful of blood out. He was clearly badly shaken by the Head Rat’s words.

“You have a death wish.”

Cang Long’s face distorted a little, and his expression was menacing.

Whoosh!

The Head Rat instantly hid behind Zhang Ruochen and continued to loudly mock, “Fight Lord Chen if you can then. See if he smashes your teeth all over the ground!”

In any case, with Zhang Ruochen around, he was not worried at all.

Cang Long unleashed an extremely terrifying aura as the black saint light transformed into black dragons that coiled around him. The entire world suddenly became darker as the clouds revolved around Cang Long.

“Zhang Ruochen, this time around, I will stomp you beneath my feet before everyone.” Cang Long roared.

He had been suppressing his rage for far too long now. If he did not kill Zhang Ruochen with his own hands, Zhang Ruochen would be the demon inside him and torment him forevermore.

The Head Rat chuckled and said, “Lord Chen, don’t be merciful. Teach this b*stard, Cang Long a good lesson. Beat him up until his own mother cannot recognize him!”

He was only spectating the battle and did not care if more oil was added to the flames, nor did he care if Cang Long was about to vomit blood from rage.

“Protect yourself,” Zhang Ruochen whispered to Mu Lingxi.

The next moment, he rushed out with his sword pointed at Cang Long.

The last time he was not strong enough and allowed Cang Long to escape. This time around, Cang Long will not get any more chances.

“Cang Long is the number one elite beneath a Supreme Saint for the Fane of Youshen, even if Zhang Ruochen is the Scion of Time and Space, I’m afraid his chances of victory against Cang Long is not high.”

“For a Greater Precept-World cultivator to challenge a top-tier Path’s Anterior elite, this kind of thing, forget even seeing it before, I’ve never heard of it before.”

“Didn’t you know that Cang Long lost to Zhang Ruochen not too long ago? It’s said that Zhang Ruochen had captured Ruan Ling in that battle and conquered her as his own woman.”

“Are you for real?”

“I’ve heard that Zhang Ruochen had used a trump card Yueshen had given to him to defeat Cang Long. In terms of true strength, Zhang Ruochen is definitely not Cang Long’s match.”

“You actually believe that? Did Zhang Ruochen use his trump cards to kill several Shenzis of the Infernal Court at the Sword Vault and Xianji Mountain as well? How can there be so many trump cards? Anyone who underestimates Zhang Ruochen dies in his hands.”

...

Zhang Ruochen had not started the battle against Cang Long and the spectators were already talking about it.

While there were some who supported Zhang Ruochen, many more were optimistic about Cang Long’s chances instead.

The difference between Zhang Ruochen and Cang Long’s cultivation level was just too great, the possibility of crossing two realms to defeat Cang Long was very slim.

“Zhang Ruochen, I shall cleanse away my shame with your blood!”

Cang Long roared, and the immortal black dragon claw appeared as numerous Precepts of Heaven and Earth gathered, forming a terrifying vortex.

Zhang Ruochen continuously infused his Saint Qi into the Ancient Abyssal Blade in his hand, activating the violet Godstone that was inlaid on the sword’s hilt.

Suddenly, over fifty percent of the precepts of heaven and earth within three thousand miles were roused and converged over in a frenzy.

With the improvement in Zhang Ruochen’s Path of Sword and the cultivation of Sword Ten’s second level alongside the evolution of his Sword Soul, the ability of the violet Godstone to mobilize the Precepts of Heaven and Earth improved greatly.

“Sword Ten.”

The Ancient Abyssal Blade slashed out like a lightning bolt, releasing a blinding white sword light as it met the immortal black dragon claw.

Baaam!!

The vortex formed by the immortal black dragon claw was instantly shattered by the white sword light.

Immediately after, the tip of the Ancient Abyssal Blade hit the immortal black dragon claw.

If it was any normal sacred artifact of the Tenth Radiance that dared to clash against the immortal black dragon claw, it would have long been damaged.

However, the Ancient Abyssal Blade was unscathed. Instead, it unleashed a terrifying force that shook Cang Long until he staggered backward again and again.

“Hahaha, Cang Long, I’ve said, you just cannot make it. Your body is just so impotent you’d be better off taking some aphrodisiac!” The Head Rat laughed out loud.

“What’s going on? Cang Long is actually on the back foot while using his immortal black dragon claw?”

“Is Zhang Ruochen’s cultivation level really just the Greater Precept-World realm? How can someone mobilize the precepts of heaven and earth so easily without culminating one’s Precept Dominion?”

...

Seeing Cang Long being pushed back, many of the spectators could not help but be dumbstruck.

At this moment, Cang Long’s eyes became even more gloomy. In less than a month’s time, Zhang Ruochen’s strength had obviously increased by a significant amount, and the speed of his improvement was really terrifying.

“I cannot let him continue to live.” Cang Long swore to himself.

If this continued, he would really not be Zhang Ruochen’s match anymore after a short while.

“Lord Chen, don’t give Cang Long any chance to catch a breath, hurry up and cut him down!” the Head Rat shouted.

A cold light flashed past Cang Long’s eyes. When he is done dealing with Zhang Ruochen, he would certainly smash that damned rat into pieces.

Upon seeing the cold light in Cang Long’s eyes, the Head Rat was not afraid at all. He wore a provocative look, which was indescribably wretched.

With a thought, Cang Long pulled his Hidden Moon Saber out and infused 500,000 Saber Precepts into it as he slashed at Zhang Ruochen with raging fury.

He had wanted to use Youshen’s power, and unleash the Divine Light of the Hidden Sky, and kill Zhang Ruochen in one fell swoop.

He thought that the power from Zhang Ruochen’s left leg probably had a limit and could not be used wantonly; so as long as he used the Divine Light of the Hidden Sky again, he was sure he could kill Zhang Ruochen.

Unfortunately for him, the Divine Light of the Hidden Sky can only be used three times, and he had used the last charge when he fought against Zhang Ruochen the last time. He thought he could easily kill Zhang Ruochen and never expected an accident to happen.

“Dimensional Collapse!”

Zhang Ruochen pointed forward as 70 thousand space precepts appeared and densely covered the space ahead.

Boom!!

The space before him collapsed as the destructive energies of the power of space surged wildly.

Cang Long’s light blade was powerful, but it was quickly devoured by the shattered space, and it dissolved into nothingness.
