Chapter 1697: Sudden Siege

Clack! Clack!

A dozen-meter-tall skeleton walked out from underground.

Its bones were very thick and shimmery. It seemed as if they were made out of stars. They radiated a terrifying aura. Even though the cultivators here were all top elites, they still felt terror.

That skeleton must have been a Supreme Saint in life.

Zhang Ruochen led Fairy Tianchu into the distance. He also observed the connection between Mo Xiaogu and the Supreme Saint skeleton.

One needed divine technique to control a Supreme Saint monster. Even a Supreme Saint personally attacking might not be able to succeed, let alone a Saint King.

The Amazing Little Taoist saw a clue first. That black lotus in her hands is the Yin God Lotus. It is born from absorbing the Yin Qi of a gods corpse. It usually grows in the corpses forehead. After turning the corpse into a mummy, the Yin God Lotus is able to bloom fully. That witch is using the Yin God Lotus to control the Supreme Saint monster.

Zhang Ruochen was confused. How come you know about the Yin God Lotus?

I dont know. I just suddenly thought of it, the Amazing Little Taoist said seriously. Its like it was hidden deep in my memories and Id always known.

Mo Xiaogu held the black lotus. Like a dark elf, she flew to the shoulder of the Supreme Saint monster and looked down on everyone. King Yan, wont you attack now? If not, Ill attack!

Fairy Tianchu was one of the nine beauties that shook the entire Heaven World. Her cultivation and physique were both very strong. Capturing her was endlessly beneficial for King Yan. How could he not want to attack?

But Mo Xiaogus abilities were too shocking and strange. King Yan felt that she was a bigger threat.

Where are you a princess of? King Yan asked cautiously. How come Ive never heard of you before?

Mo Xiaogu chuckled. Dont worry. Were not enemies. I am the cousin of Mo Yan, a leader of the Space Godly Palace. Actually, were on the same side.

Then she tossed out the metal badge that represented her status.

Wang Tian caught the badge and checked it. You really are Gong Ziyans cousin.

King Yan and Queen Lian were both relieved. Thankfully, this witch was on their side. Otherwise, it would be very troublesome to be her enemy.

Fairy Tianchu must be in despair now, right?

King Yan had no more concern and chuckled. Fairy, if you submit to us, you can still survive. Otherwise, youll turn into my feminine Yin medicine.

Fairy Tianchu pulled her hand back. She stood up tall and said proudly, You really think Im afraid? King Yan, if you dare to take another step forward, see if youll get destroyed.

King Yan was taken aback and fear flashed past his eyes. Then he licked his lips and laughed. Fairy, youve already been poisoned by the Harmony Pill. Why are you still pretending to be strong? When the poison takes effect, dont beg me, haha!

Fairy Tianchu furrowed her brows and sent a message to Zhang Ruochen. Later, Ill help create an opening for you and help you escape. You must grasp the chance.

What will you do after I escape? Zhang Ruochen asked.

Ill delay them, or else neither of us can escape. After youre free, go find the Great Senior, Wizard God Emperor, or Thousand Star Maiden. One of them can save me.

Arent you afraid that I wont come back after escaping?

If you escape, theyll have concerns when attacking me, Fairy Tianchu said calmly.

Her pure jade-like hands extended from her sleeves. A slender forefinger and middle finger held a purple rune scroll.

No way under heaven, good fortune everywhere.

Dense light patterns appeared on the gold rune. They spread out like spider webs and quickly connected the surrounding space.

Be careful. Shes preparing to use the Good Fortune Tongxuan Rune.

Wang Tian, King Yan, and Queen Lians expressions all changed. They immediately used their fastest speed to retreat until they were 100 feet away. At the same time, they summoned their strongest weapons to shield themselves.

The Good Fortune Tongxuan Rune of the Tianchu Civilization had a great reputation. Everyone under the Supreme Saint Realm feared it.

According to legends, a strong ninth step Saint King had once been killed by it.

For Wang Tian and the others, they were only confident in shielding the destructive force from the Good Fortune Tongxuan Rune after retreating to 100 meters away.

Taking advantage of this, Zhang Ruochen used the Spatial Move. He charged out from the opening between Wang Tian, King Yan, and Queen Lian.

Stop him! Wang Tian growled. Dont let him escape.

You all should worry about yourselves first.

Fairy Tianchu pressed down on the sky with two fingers. The golden rune flew out, attacking Wang Tians group, stopping them from chasing after Zhang Ruochen.

Queen Lian, King Yan and I will block the Good Fortune Tongxuan Rune. You go after that guy.

Wang Tian and King Yan each took out a defensive rune scroll to block the Good Fortune Tongxuan Rune. However, the defensive layer only lasted for two breaths before it was torn apart.

The strong golden windstorm hit their bodies, forcing them back.

Wang Tians Endless Blade shone with five layers of saint light. It shielded him like a bloody moon, countering the remaining power of the Good Fortune Tongxuan Rune.

King Yan entered the King-Burier Divine Furnace. Hed just activated the 30,000 runes on the furnace when the golden windstorm crashed in. It crushed the King-Burier Divine Furnace underground.

Thankfully, the two were 100 feet away. If they were any closer, they might not be able to take it.

Wang Tian and King Yan were both suppressed and a bit injured. Fairy Tianchu summoned the White Feather Peacock Saint Carriage. She flashed and landed on the carriage, ready to drive it away.

Ha! The Good Fortune Tongxuan Rune is known to threaten ninth step Saint Kings. Indeed, its powerful. Fairy, how many more do you have? Use them all!

Mo Xiaogu controlled the Supreme Saint monster to block the White Feather Peacock Saint Carriage.

Runes kept appearing on the carriage. It released stronger and stronger power and crashed toward the dozen-meter-tall Supreme Saint skeleton.

Fairy Tianchu knew that this was the best chance for her to escape. Once Wang Tian and King Yan recovered, it would be impossible to leave.

Mo Xiaogu shook her head and sighed. It seems that you still dont understand Supreme Saint monsters enough.

The skeleton formed a fist print with its right hand. Cracking and popping, it punched at the carriage.

Suddenly, the carriage changed direction, barely missing the Supreme Saint skeletons fist.

The skeleton let out an angry roar. It spat out intense Yin wind and slammed its palm down.

Boom!

The skeletal palm was very powerful. It hit three of the white peacocks pulling the carriage. They exploded into wisps of white smoke. The carriage also went flying from the palm prints shockwaves. It hit the stone wall and fell down heavily.

Wang Tian and King Yan hurried over. When they saw this, they were shocked inside. Supreme Saint monsters were indeed terrifying. They couldnt fight back at all.

Thankfully, Mo Xiaogu was on their side. Otherwise, they probably would have to escape too.

King Yan put his hands together and bowed to Mo Xiaogu. Then he laughed proudly. Fairy, are you still not giving up? I know you put hope in that spatial cultivator, but Queen Lian has already caught up. He wont escape.

After Zhang Ruochen escaped from the siege of Wang Tian and the others, he kept using the Spatial Move to escape down the mountain.

Boom!

Behind him was an intense explosion. Dirt and rocks flew up. Some pavilions were destroyed and a golden energy storm filled that area. He knew without a doubt that it was the Good Fortune Tongxuan Runes destructive ability.

So strong, Zhang Ruochen thought. I hope Fairy Tianchu can kill one or two enemies with that rune.

Suddenly, a laugh sounded. Hey, youre quite good at the Way of Space. Unfortunately, you dont move enough each time. How can you escape from my grasp?

Queen Lian actually caught up. Zhang Ruochen frowned.

The Yin wind behind him grew stronger. It actually formed a layer of frost on Zhang Ruochens back.

Star Grab Hand.

Queen Lian extended a slender hand. At least 3,000 Rules of Saintly Way flowed on her fingers. The space within a dozen meters seemed to solidify. Zhang Ruochen grew slower and slower.

Queen Lian smiled, waiting for Zhang Ruochen to use the Spatial Move. Once he did so, she could release other techniques.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Ruochen spun around abruptly. He radiated blazing flames and punched her.

Because hed activated the Fire God Armor Boxing Glove, his punch actually had faint divine might.

Boom!

The fires power hit the Yin Qi. The ground underfoot cracked and even some runes left behind by ancient gods were activated. A dozen beams of light flew out from underground.

In this clash, Zhang Ruochen was the weaker one. He retreated a dozen meters before finally steadying himself.

Queen Lian only took half a step back.

But she was very shocked. This guy is able to fight against me?

Her palm started burning. Queen Lian raised her hand and saw that her snowy skin was red from the fire. She was close to bleeding.

He actually cultivated Divine Fire Jingmie to the official flame level.

She stopped being careless. After all, there were very few people below the Supreme Saint Realm who could cultivate official flames. Those who could were definitely a threat to her.

Zhang Ruochen fled down the mountain. He started sweating and his head grew heavy. His mind showed signs of weakening. He bit his tongue to stimulate himself with pain and keep clear headed. I really did get poisoned! Using Holy Qi will speed it up. I wonder if I can use Divine Fire Jingmie to purify the Harmony Pills poison.

Before he had time to do that, Queen Lian caught up again.

Just then, the Amazing Little Taoist asked, Are we really going to go find those cultivators from the Ancient Civilization Sect?

Yes.

After a pause, Zhang Ruochen continued, This Fairy Tianchu isnt bad. Since she helped me escape, I should do my best to help her. Shes probably in a worse state than me. If she falls into King Yans hands, it would be worse than death.

Unfortunately, water far away cant put out the fire at hand, the Amazing Little Taoist sighed. When we find the Ancient Civilization Sect and hurry back, itll be late! I do have another idea though.

What is it? Zhang Ruochen asked. Hurry.

Calmly and slowly, the Amazing Little Taoist said, Were not far from the Amazing Temple. We can go and get the Purple-Gold Bagua Mirror. You should know that its an Absolute Saint weapon. If we have it, wont we be completely undefeatable?
