God Emperor

Chapter 571: Fighting Over One Woman

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

The memory of Zhu Hongtao slapping Demi-saint Sandao silly was still vivid in everyone’s mind. A half-saint had just been beaten up so badly, it was surprising that someone would still dare to try to steal the bride from the sword saint disciple.

At this moment, Bu Qianfan stood tall and straight, looking very charming as he faced Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yanchen.

He seemed enamored, looking at Huang Yanchen with googly eyes as if the world had fallen away around her.

On the other hand, Zhang Ruochen, who was standing between Bu Qianfan and Huang Yanchen, was made to look like the third party in the relationship, trying to force them apart.

As the monks looked on, they got the impression that Bu Qianfan was really smitten with Huang Yanchen, so he left everything to come and confess his feelings for her. Even going so far as to contemplate stealing her for his bride.

For a man and a woman to fall in love is simply natural and normal.

Bu Qianfan could be excused if he was sincere. After all, there is nothing wrong with falling in love with someone. It was acceptable for him to do crazy things for her in the name of love.

Even the barbaric Zhu Hongtao was at a loss. All he could do was tap his chin in thought.

He had beaten up Demi-saint Sandao because he was a superior of the older generation.

A senior superior who meddles in the marriage of the younger generation should be taught a lesson.

However, Bu Qianfan was only a young man in his twenties. As barbaric as he was, Zhu Hongtao was still a saint—he could not bring himself to beat up the youth.

Young people should resolve problems amongst themselves.

It would be a breach of protocol for elders to interfere. Not only would he be mocked, but it was also not an honorable thing to do.

It was now up to Zhang Ruochen to resolve the issue.

In terms of fame, both Bu Qianfan and Zhang Ruochen were God’s favored sons in the Eastern Region. In terms of talent, they had both reached the Ultimate Realm of the Four Mortal Realms. In terms of looks, both of them were handsome and charming in their own way.

To top it off, their family backgrounds were comparable.

One was Saint Bu Gentry’s inheritor, while the other was a sword saint disciple.

Saint Bu Gentry was currently at the height of its power and splendor. Not even the powerful Great Saint families – Xu, Xi, Zuo, and Shen – combined could compare to it.

Zhang Ruochen and Bu Qianfan were considered the two most excellent youths in the Eastern Region. Now, they had somehow ended up in contention for the same woman.

All of the God’s favored daughters of the Chens were going crazy with jealousy.

If the news spread throughout the Eastern Region, all young ladies would be extremely envious and jealous of Huang Yanchen.

“Huang Yanchen can’t compare to me in beauty, figure, talent, and birth. Why are Zhang Ruochen, the sword saint disciple, and Bu Qianfan, the Saint Bu Gentry inheritor, so smitten with her?” Chen Lingchan gnashed her teeth and stomped her feet in rage.

“She’s definitely a vixen. What talent does she have other than seducing men?” another God’s favored daughter of the Chens commented in frustration.

Seeing as Bu Qianfan was being unreasonable, Zhang Ruochen no longer had to remain polite.

As Zhang Ruochen gradually emanated Spiritual Power, the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi started to move up and down like waves.

Fine purple currents emerged from his soles. They were like tiny snakes that crept outward, gradually covering ten square meters.

Zhang Ruochen exuded an aura of stateliness as he fixed his eyes on Bu Qianfan. “Senior sister apprentice is my fiancee. Whoever harbors thoughts of taking her away from me is my enemy. I will not let him off,” he said.

“Swoosh!”

Following Zhang Ruochen’s words, the currents on the ground began to rise like purple fog, condensing into an illusory image of a Divine Dragon. The Divine Dragon stood before Zhang Ruochen and issued a deep dragon’s roar.

Zhang Ruochen’s hair and sleeves began to move and flap.

The power fluctuation emitted by the illusory image of the Divine Dragon did not come in the form of a physical attack but in the form of energy condensed out of Spiritual Power. This was a warning that Zhang Ruochen was sending to Bu Qianfan to stop pushing his luck.

All the young warriors of the Chen family and the four Great Saint families were pushed backward by the powerful energy. It was like an intimidating Divine Dragon standing before them, striking fear into their hearts.

“Since Zhang Ruochen was able to condense Spiritual Power to form the thunderbolt dragon shadow. He must have reached the forty-second level of Spiritual Power.”

“How is that possible? Isn’t Zhang Ruochen majoring in Martial Arts? How could he have reached the forty-second level of Spiritual Power at his age? Only the top few youths from the Federation of Inscription and Earth Temple – who are Spiritual Power geniuses – can reach the forty-second level of Spiritual Power at such a tender age.”

The Half-Saints of the four powerful Great Saint families could only look at each other in amazement.

This was because even the person with the greatest Spiritual Power amongst the four Half-Saints had only reached the forty-second level of Spiritual Power.

The strength of Zhang Ruochen’s Spiritual Power astonished many people.

Huang Yanchen walked up to Zhang Ruochen from behind, stretched out her delicate jade-like hand and gently held Zhang Ruochen’s hand. They stood side by side.

This gesture subtly told everyone that she was Zhang Ruochen’s fiancee and that Bu Qianfan was just a troublemaker.

Zhang Ruochen glanced at Huang Yanchen and smiled gently.

Seeing Huang Yanchen’s intimate gesture, Bu Qianfan immediately looked crestfallen. He took out his jade fan and coldly said, “If this is the case, let’s have a battle. If you lose, you would have to give Miss Yanchen to me.”

Bu Qianfan was actually trying to ensnare Zhang Ruochen.

Regardless of whether Zhang Ruochen defeated Bu Qianfan or not, he would have lost the battle the moment he agreed to fight.

Huang Yanchen was, after all, Zhang Ruochen’s fiancee. It would be preposterous to make his fiancee the subject of a bet.

It was quite a treacherous move.

Zhang Ruochen did not fall for Bu Qianfan’s trap. “You are going to regret it if you don’t stop antagonizing us, ” he said coldly.

“But I insist on a battle.”

A menacing smile flashed across Bu Qianfan’s face as he got ready to fight.

He secretly mobilized Genuine Qi toward the Meridians of his arms. As Genuine Qi traveled through his joints to reach his hands, he struck with his jade fan.

“Luo Tian’s Ninth Technique.”

The jade fan flew out and divided into nine Jade Rulers with nine mysterious trails behind them. Each Jade Ruler was directed toward Zhang Ruochen’s vital parts.

Each Jade Ruler was like a sharp sword that emitted nine trails of sword Qi. The sword Qi cut through the air, making ‘swish swish’ sounds due to friction with the air.

A total of eighty-one shadows of the rulers appeared in the narrow space between Zhang Ruochen and Bu Qianfan.

With a thump, the eighty-one ruler shadows pierced through the illusory image of the thunderbolt Divine Dragon. Bu Qianfan then converged them and directed them toward Zhang Ruochen’s abdomen.

All of the spectators were taken aback.

Nobody thought that Bu Qianfan could control nine jade rulers to produce nine powerful attacks all at the same time.

This skill alone was sufficient to defeat the combined efforts of all the monks of the Chen family and the four Great Saint families.

Bu Qianfan was one of the Six Great Kings of the new generation in the Eastern Region for a reason. He was truly capable and skillful.

Zhang Ruochen did not budge. When the nine jade rulers were within three feet from him, he simply stretched out a hand and then pushed his palm forward.

“Ch-ch!”

Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi transformed into streams of thunderbolt and then condensed into a purple barrier.

As the Nine Jade Rulers approached the thunderbolt barrier, they slowed to a halt and remained suspended in mid-air.

“Crack!”

All of the Jade Rulers fell to the ground when Zhang Ruochen retracted his hand.

“Dispiriting Knife Technique.”

Bu Qianfan, who had been a step behind the Nine Jade Rulers, leaped into the air, stretched out his right arm and then wielded the Inferior Class Ghost Level broadsword technique as if his arm were a sword.

He wore a white glove made of scales.

His five fingers were like sharp knives.

As he struck with his palm, four light rings emanated from the surface of the white glove.

With every ring of light, the power emitted by Bu Qianfan’s hand doubled.

With four rings of light, the power of Bu Qianfan’s palm increased sixteen fold.

Although he had simply pushed with his palm, the power that had come forth was frightening. A three-foot shadow shaped like a big knife appeared in midair.

Zhang Ruochen frowned.

Zhang Ruochen would not have been surprised if it turned out that Bu Qianfan’s cultivation had already reached the First Change in the Fish-dragon Realm.

However, Bu Qianfan seemed too strong for someone in the First Change in the Fish-dragon Realm. This was beyond Zhang Ruochen’s impression of Bu Qianfan’s capabilities.

Zhang Ruochen had fought with Bu Qianfan once before. Although on that occasion both of them had not given their best, Zhang Ruochen had gained insight into Bu Qianfan’s strengths and weaknesses.

“Did he deliberately hide his strength that time?”

Zhang Ruochen began to doubt.

Even if Bu Qianfan’s strength and capabilities were now beyond Zhang Ruochen’s previous estimation, Zhang Ruochen was not afraid.

The fact was, Zhang Ruochen had already reached the Second Change in the Fish-dragon Realm. That aside, even if Zhang Ruochen were only at the First Change in the Fish-dragon Realm, he would still win unless Bu Qianfan had a hidden trump card. Otherwise, how could he possibly kill Zhang Ruochen?

Zhang Ruochen pressed his index and middle fingers together to make a sword finger and then concentrated the power of the Heart of the Sword to his fingertips.

Ripples of energy waves started to emanate from the two fingers.

“Swish!”

With lightning speed, Zhang Ruochen punched toward Bu Qianfan.

“The glove Bu Qianfan is wearing on his right hand is a formidable weapon. Is Zhang Ruochen not afraid that his finger would break if he takes on Bu Qianfan with bare hands?”

“It won’t just be his fingers, even his arm might get broken.”

Everyone began to feel nervous and worried for Zhang Ruochen.
