Chapter 1699: Killing Queen Lian

Purple light passed through Queen Lian’s stomach and then hit the ground. A dozen meters away, an explosive sound rang out. The surrounding palace clusters were all trembling.

Queen Lian’s legs were unsteady. She half-knelt on the ground and touched the bloody hole in her abdomen. Fear filled her eyes. “Absolute Saint’s power… It’s an Absolute Saint weapon…”

“Amazing, amazing! Haha! That’s right. This is an Absolute Saint weapon. Now, do you know how powerful I am?”

The Amazing Little Taoist had one hand behind his back. His other held the Purple-Gold Bagua Mirror. He walked arrogantly out of the Amazing Temple. Facing the mirror toward Queen Lian, he said, “There are some creatures in the world that you shouldn’t offend. Zhang Ruochen, how should we punish her?”

Zhang Ruochen rolled his eyes. “Who said you could say my name?”

The Amazing Little Taoist froze and covered his mouth. “Oh yeah, I can’t expose your identity. What should we do now? Kill her?”

Zhang Ruochen nodded. “That’s the only solution.”

Queen Lian had already guessed this, but when she confirmed that this man was Zhang Ruochen, she was still extremely shocked. How much time had passed? Zhang Ruochen actually went from a half-step Saint King to a level that could fight her.

She finally understood why Shang Ziyan had called on everyone to defeat Zhang Ruochen.

This man was indeed a dangerous figure who should be taken out as soon as possible.

Poof.

The Amazing Little Taoist kept adding Holy Qi into the Purple-Gold Bagua Mirror.

The projection of the bagua symbol appeared on the mirror and spun slowly.

Queen Lian knew that she couldn’t block it, so she quickly said, “Wait, don’t you want to save Fairy Tianchu? She must be in my people’s hands now. If you kill me, you’ll lose a negotiation chip for Wang Tian and King Yan.

The Amazing Little Taoist nodded. He looked toward Zhang Ruochen, saying, “She kind of…has a point.”

Zhang Ruochen was using Divine Fire Jingmie to purify the Harmony Pill poison within him. However, the poison worked on the saint soul. Before the poison could be refined, the Divine Fire Jingmie would have melted the saint soul.

Fairy Tianchu said that she has a way to detoxify the Harmony Pill poison. Seems like I have to hurry back and save her. As soon as this thought appeared in Zhang Ruochen’s mind, a cold Yin wind rushed at him.

He pulled his nerves taut and looked over.

Queen Lian, who’d been kneeling on the ground, injured, had used lightning speed to attack the Amazing Little Taoist. Her arms became long and thin, like white chains that were dozens of feet long. Her fingers were clenched into claws. She wanted to steal the Purple-Gold Bagua Mirror!

“No… Be careful!”

Zhang Ruochen knew that the Amazing Little Taoist lacked combat experience. He definitely wouldn’t be Queen Lian’s match in a short-range fight.

Once Queen Lian stole the Purple-Gold Bagua Mirror, he wouldn’t even be sure that he and the Amazing Little Taoist could leave alive today, let alone go save others.

Zhang Ruochen used all his might to activate spatial power. He put his hands together and hacked down on Queen Lian’s back.

A foot-long spatial crack appeared, cutting toward Queen Lian.

She glanced with the corner of her vision. Her eyes were cold. “Zhang Ruochen, when I get the Absolute Saint weapon, I’ll disable all your meridians and see if you can still use spatial power.”

“Star-Grabbing Hand, take!”

Queen Lian reached the Amazing Little Taoist. There were thousands of Rules of Saintly Way flowing around her hands. They wove into an invisible net and trapped the Amazing Little Taoist.

By now, the spatial crack was still around ten feet from her.

“Last time, I wasn’t ready, so I got hurt by that King’s punch. But now, I’m in my peak shape. I’m not easy to bully.”

The Amazing Little Taoist moved to the side in a purple streak of light, dodging Queen Lian’s capture spell. Then he appeared behind Queen Lian. He raised the Purple-Gold Bagua Mirror and slammed it down.

Thud!

Queen Lian’s right arm exploded into a ball of red mist. She instantly cried out.

At the same time, the spatial crack flying over from the back grew closer and closer. It was about to hit her. She could only twist her waist and flash to the left. Thankfully, she cultivated a mid-level saint spell technique. She only had to think and her body disappeared from the spot, finally dodging the spatial crack.

“I’m hurt now. I can’t handle Zhang Ruochen and that 100,000-year-old saint medicine.”

Whether it was her penetrated abdomen or her nonexistent right arm now, both made her feel extreme pain. Though she felt mistreated and resentful, she had no choice but to try to escape with all her might.

If she didn’t, she might die here today.

Queen Lian, the powerful leader of Yin and Yang Field who terrified all Evil Way cultivators, was actually forced to escape from a younger figure and a 100,000-year-old saint medicine. This was very embarrassing.

“If you’re only escaping now, it’s too late!”

Spatial ripples appeared behind her.

A blazing steel fist broke out of the center of the spatial ripples, forming a ring of fiery clouds. It sent Queen Lian flying back. She hit the wall of the Amazing Temple with a boom.

Countless red cracks appeared on her body. She was like a white vase about to shatter.

Drops of blood rolled down from the cracks. She sprawled on the ground and said with a trembling voice, “Zhang Ruo…Ruochen, you won’t gain anything from killing me. Spare me…I can be your…slave…listen to you…”

“No need.”

Zhang Ruochen was very cold. He walked before Queen Lian. Divine Fire Jingmie appeared on his hand and he slammed it down on her.

Sizzle, sizzle.

After the span of a breath, Queen Lian’s body was burned to ashes.

Clap, clap, clap…

The Amazing Little Taoist clapped his hands. “You’re so vicious. You destroyed that flower without even holding back. To be honest, when Queen Lian agreed to submit to you, even I was a bit tempted. Actually, now I’m wondering if you really were poisoned by the Harmony Pill.”

The sharpness disappeared from Zhang Ruochen’s eyes. His gaze grew muddled and he hurriedly massaged his temples before recovering.

The Amazing Little Taoist scurried away. “Can you keep going? I hope you won’t do anything to me when the poison starts.”

“I’ll survive. Come, let’s go save the fairy.”

Zhang Ruochen shook his heavy head and stared hard. Then he grabbed the Amazing Little Taoist and went up the ancient mountain again.

When Zhang Ruochen hurried to where he’d split up with Fairy Tianchu, the place had turned into a pile of ruins. There were broken walls everywhere and even the palace cluster was mostly destroyed.

“Are we late? Has the battle ended?”

Zhang Ruochen’s heart dropped.

The Amazing Little Taoist sniffed on the ground and dug out a bloody arm among the rubble.

“King Yan’s arm.”

Zhang Ruochen picked up the arm and looked at the cut. “It was cut off by Fairy Tianchu’s Rain Thread Divine Sword.”

“There are wheel tracks from the White Feather Peacock Saint Carriage. That Fairy Tianchu must’ve escaped!” The Amazing Little Taoist made another discovery.

“Let’s go forward to see.”

The Luan and phoenix projections appeared on Zhang Ruochen’s legs. He streaked forward.

After chasing for more than 70 miles, Zhang Ruochen detected King Yan and Wang Tian’s auras. He slowed down and activated the Buddhist Pearls to cover up his aura.

This was a valley in the ancient mountain. The valley was filled with dark purple stones that shimmered metallically.

The steepest stone wall in the valley was a seven or eight-meter-tall cave.

Gales blew out of the cave. The wind transformed into Kang Qi and was as sharp as a Sword Saint’s Sword Way Xuangang. If it was only one or two beams, then King Yan and Wang Tian could definitely block them.

But hundreds flew out of the cave at every moment. Even if they had many treasures, they still couldn’t block too many waves. Naturally, they didn’t dare to venture into the cave.

In the valley, King Yan moved his newly-grown right arm around and asked, “Did you think of a way to enter the cave yet?”

Wang Tian’s face was as stiff as steel. He shook his head. “Earlier, I used my Four Yao Ten-thousand-pattern Saint Weapon to lead the way, but I only took a dozen steps and the weapon was destroyed. Those below the Supreme Saint Realm won’t be able to survive unless you have an Absolute Saint weapon.”

“So you’re saying that the bitch Luo Ji is probably dead in there?” King Yan asked.

Wang Tian shook his head. “Luo Ji’s White Feather Peacock Saint Carriage is an Eight Yao weapon. Even the Kang Qi can’t penetrate it easily. However, the wind in the cave is very strange. Some fly as a whirlpool. Others fly in reverse. She can’t escape with just an Eight Yao weapon. Hiding inside this cave is suicide.”

King Yan gritted his teeth and had a resentful expression. “I really don’t know how that bitch escaped from the Six Desires Poison. I almost died under her Rain Thread Divine Sword.”

Earlier, King Yan had released the Six Desires Poison. When he heard Fairy Tianchu fall inside the carriage, he’d boarded it immediately.

But the moment that he pulled aside the curtains, he discovered with a shock that Fairy Tianchu was still sitting there. She didn’t seem to have been poisoned.

King Yan had sensed the danger. He cursed her in his mind and then attacked. Even so, the Rain Thread Divine Sword that flew out of the carriage still cut off his arm.

Next, rune scrolls kept flying out of the carriage, forming a strong attack. Wang Tian and King Yan didn’t dare to get close.

Fairy Tianchu took this opportunity to steer the White Feather Peacock Saint Carriage and escape from here, charging into the cave.

Zhang Ruochen stood behind a boulder in the valley. Seeing Wang Tian and King Yan, he was confused. “How come only they’re here? Where is Mo Xiaogu?”

In comparison, Zhang Ruochen thought that Mo Xiaogu, who could control the Supreme Saint monster, was more threatening.

The Amazing Little Taoist rubbed his hands together and laughed. “Who cares? We have the Absolute Saint weapon now, so what are you afraid of? I can’t wait to take out these two.”

The Harmony Pill’s poison was getting more intense inside Zhang Ruochen. His mind was weakening and he indeed had no more time to wait. Eyes darkening, he said, “Let’s activate the Purple-Gold Bagua Mirror together. We’ll kill Wang Tian first and then take care of King Yan.”
