Chapter 446: Ruthless and Decisive
“Roar!”
A ten-meter-long electric dragon phantom shot out from Zhang Ruochen’s palm, slamming into the chest of a Glass Knight. The electric dragon phantom flew out from the Glass Knight’s back.
“Pfft!”
The Glass Knight suffered a severe blow, his chest and abdomen turning into a bloody mess. If not for the Glass Bone Armor, his body would have been torn apart. He spat out a mouthful of blood mist, his vision going dark, and, losing his balance, fell from the back of his barbarian beast mount.
Zhang Ruochen landed on the barbarian beast’s back, seized the Dragon Bone Long Spear from his hand, and thrust downward, stabbing directly into the Glass Knight’s mouth, piercing through his skull.
Blood flowed from the gaps in the Glass Bone Armor, staining a large patch of the ground red.
Not far away, another Glass Knight was momentarily stunned, as if he hadn’t yet reacted.
“Bang!”
Without any hesitation, Zhang Ruochen gripped the Dragon Bone Long Spear with one hand and swung it fiercely, striking that Glass Knight and sending him flying off his barbarian beast mount.
The Glass Knight let out a miserable scream, crashed through a six-meter-high broken wall, and fell into the ruins.
“So powerful! They’re both Heaven Extreme Realm martial artists, so why is the gap so huge? With Zhang Ruochen’s strength, he could probably rank in the top thousand of the Heaven Ranking—no, the top five hundred.”
Tu Ling was shocked to see Zhang Ruochen easily defeat two Glass Knights, finally realizing the gap between her and Zhang Ruochen.
Standing at a high point, Zhang Ruochen glanced around and noticed that the two strongest experts of the Silver Sky Mercenary Group, Silver Moon Lingkong and Nie Honglou, were both tied up.
Silver Moon Lingkong, relying on her own cultivation, was single-handedly resisting the sound wave attacks of the Langhuan Golden Bell, unable to spare any effort to kill the Glass Knights.
Nie Honglou, meanwhile, was entangled by two Glass Knight Leaders.
The two Glass Knight Leaders dispatched by the Black Market First Class Hall were both top-tier experts. They had opened Saint Meridians within their bodies, allowing them to convert True Qi into faint Saint Qi. With the enhancement of their Glass Bone Armor, they could even match Nie Honglou blow for blow.
“Di Yi and I are irreconcilable enemies anyway. Since that’s the case, I might as well lend the Silver Sky Mercenary Group a hand.”
Zhang Ruochen made up his mind to fight to the death with the Black Market’s martial artists.
He summoned the Purple Lightning Sword and executed the Sword Control Art.
“Whoosh!”
The Purple Lightning Sword turned into a streak of light, flew out, and struck a Glass Knight in the back, knocking him off his barbarian beast mount and sending him crashing to the ground.
“Boom!”
Zhang Ruochen drove his barbarian beast forward, charging in, and, holding the Dragon Bone Long Spear, thrust downward again, striking that Glass Knight in the chest.
“Crack, crack!”
Although the Glass Bone Armor didn’t shatter, the Glass Knight’s physical body couldn’t withstand the powerful impact. His chest caved in, accompanied by the sound of breaking bones.
Even the ground beneath him sank.
Blood continuously gushed from the Glass Knight’s mouth. His whole body trembled, and eventually, his internal organs turned into bloody pulp, and he lost all signs of life.
In just a few moments, two Glass Knights had been killed by Zhang Ruochen, and another had been severely injured.
Even for the Black Market, training a single Glass Knight required a massive amount of Spirit Crystals.
Losing one meant losing a huge fortune.
Standing outside the Langhuan Golden Bell, Di Yi narrowed his eyes, showing displeasure, and said, “Blood Spirit King, it’s your turn now.”
The Blood Spirit King let out a cold laugh, immediately charged forward, passed through the golden light barrier, and entered the Silver Sky Mercenary Group.
“You all go too. Finish this quickly,” Di Yi said.
The Red Desire Star Envoy, Orange Moon Star Envoy, Deep Blue Star Envoy, and Purple Wind Star Envoy, who were standing behind Di Yi, all charged out at the same time, joining the battle.
Originally, under the assault of the eighteen Glass Knights, the Silver Sky Mercenary Group was already under immense pressure.
With the addition of the four Star Envoys and the Blood Spirit King, it was a devastating blow to them.
“Is even Heaven determined to destroy our Silver Sky Mercenary Group?”
Nie Honglou, drenched in blood, was single-handedly holding off two Knight Leaders and the Deep Blue Star Envoy. Seeing the four Star Envoys and the Blood Spirit King breaking through the golden bell’s light barrier, and the mercenary warriors continuously falling in pools of blood, Nie Honglou’s eyes turned bloodshot, his pupils cracking, and a towering flame of hatred ignited in his heart.
His body was covered in wounds, on the verge of collapse, yet he still struggled on, refusing to give in.
Silver Moon Lingkong, while resisting the sound wave attacks of the Langhuan Golden Bell, was also fighting the Purple Wind Star Envoy.
Suddenly, the Purple Wind Star Envoy executed a Ghost-Class Mid-Rank martial technique, the “Heaven and Earth Separation Spear Art,” striking Silver Moon Lingkong in the lower abdomen, piercing through her body and leaving a deep, bloody hole.
“Silver Moon Lingkong, you dare to divert part of your strength to resist the Langhuan Golden Bell while fighting me?”
The Purple Wind Star Envoy withdrew his Purple Imperial Spear and sneered.
As the Purple Imperial Spear was pulled back, a fountain of blood spurted from the wound on Silver Moon Lingkong’s lower abdomen, flowing down her long, slender legs.
Silver Moon Lingkong immediately used a wisp of Saint Qi to seal the wound, gritting her two rows of snow-white teeth, and said, “Aren’t you afraid I’ll retract the Mysterious Shadow Light Shield and let the sound wave power of the Langhuan Golden Bell descend, killing all the Black Market martial artists inside the bell?”
The Purple Wind Star Envoy sneered, “If you do that, the mercenary warriors of the Silver Sky Mercenary Group will also be killed by the sound waves. Silver Moon Lingkong, your greatest weakness is that you’re not ruthless enough. That’s why you betrayed the Black Market back then, and that’s why you’ll die here now.”
Both the Purple Wind Star Envoy and Di Yi knew that if Silver Moon Lingkong wanted to escape, they couldn’t stop her.
Only by using the lives of the Silver Sky Mercenary Group’s mercenary warriors could they tie her down, making it impossible for her to leave even if she wanted to.
People always have weaknesses.
“All grudges will be settled today.”
Silver Moon Lingkong sighed, knowing in her heart that today would be her death day.
She couldn’t bring herself to abandon the people of the Silver Sky Mercenary Group and leave alone.
Since she couldn’t leave, she would have to perish together with the Silver Sky Mercenary Group. In the face of the Black Market, a mere Silver Sky Mercenary Group was far too weak.
After killing four Glass Knights in a row, Zhang Ruochen finally encountered the Blood Spirit King.
The Blood Spirit King struck out with a palm, and the palm force turned into a cloud of blood, sending Zhang Ruochen flying backward.
“Zhang Ruochen, who can save you today?”
The Blood Spirit King descended gracefully from midair, landing on the head of that barbarian beast mount, extending her claws, and looking down at Zhang Ruochen with arrogance.
Zhang Ruochen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, “You’ve actually sided with the Black Market?”
The Blood Spirit King shook her head and said, “Di Yi and I are just cooperating. After I kill you, we’ll each go our separate ways.”
Zhang Ruochen nodded and said, “Di Yi is quite calculating, using you as well. Fine! Since that’s the case, let’s settle our grudge here and now. It’s either you die or I die.”
“With your cultivation, you want to fight me?” the Blood Spirit King laughed.
She was almost fully aware of Zhang Ruochen’s trump cards.
Even if he used all his cards, she would only need to use thirty percent of her power to kill him.
Zhang Ruochen unhurriedly took out the Sarira and muttered to himself, “It seems today is the time to unlock the first seal of the Sarira.”
