Chapter 1467: Killing A First Marquis

Translator: Larbre Studio  Editor: Larbre Studio

“One, two, three, four… There are 57 Luosha marquis in total. The strongest one has terrifying abilities. It should be a first marquis. In addition, there are two third marquises.”

Zhang Ruochen spoke to himself with his eyes shut.

Qing Mo’s delicate frame was curled beside Zhang Ruochen. She extended two slender fingers and tugged at the corner of Zhang Ruochen’s clothes. “Are they here to capture Sister Nalan?”

“Why don’t we arrest them and ask them personally?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

Qing Mo shook her head. “There’s too many of them,” she whispered carefully. “There’s also a first marquis. A first marquis is scary…”

Kaboom.

Zhang Ruochen picked up the Monument Shield and smashed the base of a tree. His other hand grabbed Qing Mo, who was curled up like a chick, and charged at the Luosha marquises.

Qing Mo was frightened. She kept screaming.

The Luosha marquises were surprised. They all activated their evil Qi and went into defense.

Clearly, they were very experienced and had fast reactions.

Zhang Ruochen picked up the Monument Shield. Instead of activating the runes inside, he went for the fifth marquis closest to him.

Crack.

A huge explosion sounded within the fifth marquis. A huge bone stuck out and was pulverized.

After falling to the ground, the fifth aperture bled out of all his openings. His body trembled and he couldn’t get back up again.

Zhang Ruochen’s gaze swept across. He discovered a bonfire in the center of the Luosha marquis group. Four Saints were propped over it.

Four spires penetrated the four human Saints, like cooking four beasts over fire. Their flesh and skin had all been roasted to a golden color.

Seeing this, Zhang Ruochen’s scalp turned numb.

It was recorded that the Luosha liked to eat human flesh.

To them, human Saints were the most delicious of all.

Zhang Ruochen placed Qing Mo on the ground and started killing again.

“How dare you! Marquis Fengxing is here. How dare you attack?”

Thirteen Luosha marquis in a row grabbed their weapons and charged to attack Zhang Ruochen at the same time.

Zhang Ruochen killed a fifth marquis with one hit. Regular marquises wouldn’t dare to attack. The ones attacking Zhang Ruochen now were fourth and third marquises.

The two third marquises were like Absolute Saints.

The two both had a pagoda-shaped Thousand-pattern Saint Weapon. They activated the Destruction of the Thousand Patterns.

Holy Qi rumbled inside Zhang Ruochen’s body.

Swinging his arm, he smashed the Monument Shield out, hitting a fourth marquis. At the same time, a dragon and elephant’s projection appeared above his hands. As a dragon and elephant roared, he attacked the two Thousand-pattern Saint Weapons.

Boom.

The two huge pagodas were sent flying by the palm force.

The two three marquises were also sent flying back. They spat out blood as shock filled their eyes. They couldn’t believe that their opponent could be this strong.

Before they could even land, Zhang Ruochen had formed another dozen-foot-long palm print. He slammed the two into the ground and their flesh exploded. Only two bloody skeletons remained.

In an instant, two third marquises were killed. Zhang Ruochen was awfully powerful.

The other marquises were intimidated. Not daring to fight with Zhang Ruochen anymore, they retreated behind Marquis Fengxing.

Marquis Fengxing was around 2.3 meters tall and had thick arms. His entire body was covered in strange demonic patterns. Merely standing there, he was like an unmoving demonic mountain.

Marquis Fengxing studied him and scoffed. “There are very few people as strong as you in the Shatuo Seven Fields. Who are you?”

“Zhang Ruochen, priest of the Guanghan Field.”

“So you’re Zhang Ruochen.”

Shock filled Marquis Fengxing’s face.

“Fight!” Zhang Ruochen yelled.

A battle here would definitely attract other Saints and Luosha marquises, so Zhang Ruochen had to do this quickly.

Whoosh!

The Holy Carnivorous Flower rushed out of Zhang Ruochen’s body. It extended green vines toward the Luosha marquises. Bolts of electricity snaked on the vine. Once they wrapped around a Luosha marquis, he would never be able to break free.

“This is the legendary aggressive plant, the Holy Carnivorous Flower. Someone could actually tame it.”

“The Holy Carnivorous Flower is high up on the Aggressive Plants Rank. I thought that they’d gone extinct. I didn’t think that I would discover one.”

…

The Luosha marquises kept getting killed by the vines. Then they were dragged underground to become the flower’s fertilizer.

Marquis Fengxing’s eyes widened. Dark red evil Qi poured out of him and forced the incoming vines away. Then he rushed forward and punched Zhang Ruochen.

He could see that Zhang Ruochen was the master and the Holy Carnivorous Flower was only his parasite.

If he killed Zhang Ruochen, the flower would die too.

“Good. Come.”

Thousands of dragons roared within Zhang Ruochen. His body burned and he pushed his palm out.

The palm and fist clashed, producing a shocking boom.

The shockwaves crushed the surrounding trees. Even Qing Mo and the Luosha marquises had to retreat.

If not for the large number of spatial runes in the forest, the destructive force caused by the clash may spread to even vaster areas.

Many of the Saints and Luosha marquises were shocked. Some of the powerful figures hurried over to where the shockwaves came from.

Marquis Fengxing had been forced back. His defensive runes kept exploding.

The human before him was too strong. He couldn’t fend off the man.

One must know that Marquis Fengxing had once exchanged ten blows with a first step Saint King without falling back. He definitely wasn’t weak.

“How can this be? He’s only a True Saint, but he’s no weaker than a first step Saint King. This is too messed up! No wonder the lord wants to take him out! This man is indeed a huge threat.”

Marquis Fengxing took a deep breath. The demonic patterns on his body glowed dark red. Shreds of Qi that only a Supreme Saint possesses radiated from the patterns.

“Supreme Saint power.”

Zhang Ruochen’s eyes widened. Then he attacked with all his might, activating Divine Fire Jingmie and sending a palm out.

“Dragon and Elephant Divine Furnace.”

Zhang Ruochen’s palm was brighter than a blazing sun. The heat that radiated out seemed to melt the entire world.

The light from Marquis Fengxing’s demonic patterns turned half of the forest into a dark world. “God-killing Technique!” he roared.

An ear-piercing screech sounded.

Then a huge dark hand reached out of Fengxing’s body. It held a sharp thorn that clashed against Zhang Ruochen’s palm print.

Crackle.

The Divine Fire Jingmie destroyed the dark hand.

Zhang Ruochen’s palm hit Marquis Fengxing’s body, collapsing it. His body flew backward like a cannonball.

Zhang Ruochen chased after him. He didn’t give Marquis Fengxing the chance to fight back and continued striking.

Thud, thud.

He released a dozen palm prints in a row. Each blow distorted Marquis Fengxing’s body. Almost all of his bones were shattered now.

Even though Marquis Fengxing had many Supreme Saint demonic patterns carved onto him, he still couldn’t take it. The Divine Fire Jingmie seeped into his body. He turned into a fireball and started burning.

When Zhang Ruochen pulled his hand back, Marquis Fengxing had already burned to ashes. Only a saint source hovered in the flames, shining with brilliant light.

Zhang Ruochen didn’t try to capture Marquis Fengxing and force some valuable things out of his mouth.

After all, Marquis Fengxing was too strong. With Zhang Ruochen’s current abilities, he could defeat and even kill the marquis, but he couldn’t control him.

If Marquis Fengxing deactivated his saint source, Zhang Ruochen wouldn’t be able to escape.

Thus, he used the most decisive method and killed the marquis so there was no chance they would die together.

In the other direction, the battle had ended as well. Other than one survivor, all the other Luosha marquises had been killed. It was worth mentioning that Qing Mo had also killed three marqusies and was collecting their blood.

The survivor was a seventh marquis.

Zhang Ruochen sensed many strong beings hurrying over. Thus, he immediately put the Holy Carnivorous Flower back into his body. Holding Qing Mo and the seventh marquis in either hand, he hurried away from the forest.

A moment later, a sinister black cloud descended from the sky, appearing in the forest.

Lord Lingquan stood in the cloud and scanned the surroundings. Sniffing lightly, fire poured out of his eyes. “Not even 15 minutes have passed and Marquis Fengxing has actually died. Who could be so powerful?”

Whoosh, whoosh!

The sound of wind traveled through.

Nine first marquises arrived from all over. They appeared around Lord Lingquan and were all investigating the traces on the ground for clues.

“Marquis Fengxing was burned to death by Divine Fire Jingmie. In addition, there are many Luosha marquis bodies, sucked dry of power and blood.”

“Could it be some powerful figure from the Shatuo Seven Fields who’d reached the Saint King Realm and killed Marquis Fengxing?”

“There are very few people in the Shatuo Seven Fields who can control Divine Fire Jingmie. The priest of the Guanghan Field is one of them.”

…

The nine first marquises were all geniuses among geniuses, the cream of the crop. They found many clues and used different analyses, even guessing Zhang Ruochen.

Lord Lingquan’s eyes turned cold. Staring at a beautiful Luosha woman, he said, “Marquis Xianling, can you track which direction he went?”

Marquis Xianling furrowed her brows tightly and shook her head. “That man must have a treasure that hides his aura. I can’t trace him even if I use Heavenly Calculation.”

“Your Spiritual Power has already reached the Saint King Realm and you still can’t trace him. Seems like we can only wait for him to appear.”

Lord Lingquan clenched his fists. He suddenly had a feeling that the person who killed Marquis Fengxing may be that priest from the Guanghan Field.

“Let’s go. We’ll capture that Confucian first. This time, I’ll do it personally and see where she can run to.”

Lord Lingquan led the nine first marquises and rushed underground, leaving this area.
