The spatial crack hit the Vampire in the chest. It pierced his Body-Protecting Holy Kang instantly.

Dense rune patterns appeared on the armor, forming a 70-foot-tall beastly shadow. It tried to stop the spatial crack’s attack.

The Vampire’s armor was a very valuable saint armor, named “Bifang Blood King Armor.” It could dissolve 70% of physical attacks and 50% of spiritual attacks. Its value was worth entire cities.

Poof.

However, even the saint armor only resisted for a bit. The next moment, it still broke apart with a bowl-sized hole. Large amounts of saintly blood poured out of the Vampire. His bones, muscles, and lungs had all been pierced.

“Spatial attacks are so…terrifying…”

He stared at Zhang Ruochen in shock. Repressing his injuries, his legs bent and he shot backward with extremely fast speed like a bow and arrow.

Vampires had very formidable vitalities. Even when their bodies were split in half, they could come back to life if they drank enough blood. Thus, he could still escape with such a grave injury.

Plus, he’d already estimated Zhang Ruochen’s spatial abilities and prepared before attacking. Thus, he wasn’t in too much of a panic. However, the destructiveness of the spatial power was still beyond his imagination.

When you face spatial attacks, you can’t defend yourself. You can only retreat, the Vampire Half-Saint thought. He’d learned his lesson.

“Spatial Move.”

Zhang Ruochen chased after him. He leapt and disappeared as soon as he jumped up. The surrounding space trembled.

A moment later, Zhang Ruochen opened his arms. He appeared above the Vampire like a black eagle. Powerful Sword Intent surged from within Zhang Ruochen. It converged at his finger. As he pointed forward, he thought, Sword Three.

Whoosh. The Taotian Sword flew out of its sheath and struck down like a white streak.

“How can a first level Half-Saint be so fast? No, that’s the power of space. Zhang Ruochen used a Spatial Move.”

The Immortal Vampire’s eyes widened. He immediately activated all his Holy Qi and stabbed with his spear. It crashed against the Taotian Sword.

Boom!

Zhang Ruochen didn’t activate the Destruction of the Thousand Patterns. The Taotian Sword’s own power shattered the blood-red spear. The dozens of useless pieces flew out.

“Ah…Zhang Ruo…chen…”

The powerful Sword Qi turned the Half-Saint’s arms into mush. One could even see the thick bones under the flesh.

Kaboom.

The Vampire Half-Saint fell down and crashed onto the ground. He had nine holes in his body. It was like he’d been turned into a dice. Now, he finally realized how terrifying the combat ability of the Time and Space Descendant was.

Zhang Ruochen’s abilities were much weaker than his. If he was stuck inside the cave residence, he would’ve died without a doubt. But when Zhang Ruochen used the power of space and paired it with the advanced Tao of Sword, his abilities were unstoppable.

He could probably fight against a seventh level Half-Saint without being defeated.

The other two Vampire Half-Saints manning the formation saw that Half-Saint Wu Jun had been tossed out and were shocked.

“How can this be?”

They didn’t expect that someone with Half-Saint Wu Jun’s abilities could lose to Zhang Ruochen.

“Zhang Ruochen had just entered the first level. How can he be so powerful?”

“Even Half-Saint Wu Jun couldn’t defeat him. We can’t be his match either. Let’s hurry and leave.”

The two Vampire Half-Saints retracted the formation without hesitation. They unfurled their wings and rushed out of the mountain like two bloody bats. They flew into the night, wanting to escape.

Zhang Ruochen put the Taotian Sword away to chase after them. Just then, powerful Sword Intent rushed out of another cave residence on Bei Wang Mountain. A man on a flying sword shot after the two Vampire Half-Saints like a shooting star.

It was Xiang Zhengfeng, master of the Zhutian Sword. He hovered in the air at the same height as the Bei Wang Mountain and steadied himself. “The Pluto Sword Tomb isn’t a place that you Vampires can break into!” he roared.

“Keep one alive!” Zhang Ruochen said.

Unfortunately, Zhang Ruochen was too late. Xiang Zhengfeng took out the Zhutian Sword and activated the Destruction of the Thousand Patterns. He brandished his sword and created a river of Sword Qi.

Boom! Boom!

Two explosions sounded in the sky. The two Half-Saint Vampires turned into clouds of blood. Even their saint souls were shattered. Only some broken bones remained and fell to the ground.

The Destruction of the Thousand Patterns was extremely strong. Even when Xiang Zhengfeng sheathed his sword, chaotic Sword Qi still existed in a hundred-mile radius of Bei Wang Mountain.

Zhang Ruochen was furious. He took a deep breath and stared at the levitating Xiang Zhengfeng with confusion.

The two Vampire Half-Saints had already been exposed. Even if they tried escaping, they couldn’t leave the Pluto Sword Tomb. If they were arrested, they could reveal more infiltrators through interrogation. Once they were all found, the Vampires wouldn’t be able to attack the Pluto Sword Tomb anymore.

Unexpectedly, Xiang Zhengfeng had killed both Half-Saints with one strike. Did he really hate them that much, or did he purposely kill them?

Xiang Zhengfeng was a Swordsman, after all. He had a different identity and status. Despite Zhang Ruochen’s suspicions, he still couldn’t accuse him directly.

Zhang Ruochen retreated and went to the outside of his cave. He wanted to check Half-Saint Wu Jun’s injuries. That Half-Saint was the only living proof now. He was critical to finding Vampire infiltrators in the Pluto Sword Tomb.

“No.”

When Zhang Ruochen got close, he immediately sensed that Half-Saint Wu Jun’s body contained a very strong and chaotic force. Rays of bloody saintly light also rushed out of his forehead.

It was a sign that he was voluntarily destroying his Sea of Qi. Clearly, Half-Saint Wu Jun was also clear that he couldn’t escape anymore. He wanted to kill himself and Zhang Ruochen.

The power from a first level Half-Saint detonating his Sea of Qi could very possibly kill a sixth level Half-Saint. The destructive power of a sixth level Half-Saint doing the same thing was naturally more terrifying. A ninth level Half-Saint could have his soul scattered if he was close enough.

Right now, Zhang Ruochen was too close. He couldn’t stop Half-Saint Wu Jun or escape.

He immediately activated his Space Domain and Soul Territory, placing the Taotian Sword horizontally before him.

Kaboom!

The formidable Sea of Qi and Saintly Qi burst completely out of Half-Saint Wu Jun’s skull. It formed a wave shocking destructive Qi.

All the defense formations on Bei Wang Mountain were activated. They formed various beams of light. Many circular formation rune patterns emerged. Even so, it still couldn’t fend off a sixth level Half-Saint’s suicidal power.

The defense formations shattered and the cave residences collapsed. Half of the huge mountain shattered and fell inside. There were continuous explosions and the ground shook. Black smoke and dust rose up.

Whoosh, whoosh.

Strong cultivators from the Guardians of the Prison gradually hurried over. The Half-Saint elders were all flying in the air and looking down. They could only see that the once-towering Bei Wang Mountain was now flattened into black dirt.

Monks of slightly lower realms used physical techniques, creating whooshes of wind. They arrived at the outer edges of what had once been Bei Wang Mountain. They all gasped at the scene.

Everyone looked over at Xiang Zhengfeng. They wanted to know what had happened.

After all, there were dozens of important guests living in the Bei Wang Mountain. Their fates were unknown now.

Shi Ren hurried over. He was surprised at the sight, but he was quite composed. He quickly recovered and asked, “Lord Xiang, what happened?”

Xiang Zhengfeng scoffed. “Good question, Young Clan Leader. It’s all because of Zhang Ruochen.”

“Zhang Ruochen?” Shi Ren furrowed his brow. He looked around, but he couldn’t find any trace of Zhang Ruochen.

Xiang Zhengfeng seemed just and upright. “Vampire Half-Saints infiltrated the Guardians of the Prison,” he replied seriously. “More than one, in fact. Just then, Zhang Ruochen snuck into my residence with three Vampire Half-Saints. They wanted to kill me and steal the Zhutian Sword.”

Xiang Zhengfeng’s words were like a drop of cold water that fell into a bubbling pot of oil. All the Guardians of the Prison exploded.

“Just as I expected. I thought there was something wrong with Zhang Ruochen when he entered the Pluto Sword Tomb.”

“Crazy. He dares to kill a Swordsman of the Pluto Sword Tomb. Where did Zhang Ruochen get the guts to do so?”

“Three Vampire Half-Saints appeared tonight. How many are hiding in the Pluto Sword Tomb in total?”

…

A man in his late twenties walked out of the crowd of Wang Family monks. He carried a black saint sword. Looking in the direction of the Bei Wang Mountain, he huffed coldly. “There are 14 important guests living in Bei Wang Mountain. Now, they’ve all died. If I’d known earlier, I wouldn’t have let Zhang Ruochen enter the Pluto Sword Tomb. He’s trouble.”

With that, everyone looked over at Shi Ren. The crowd’s anger actually spread towards him. They seemed to blame him.

If he hadn’t brought Zhang Ruochen into the Pluto Sword Tomb, this wouldn’t have happened.
