One Death Knight had been beaten to death by Zhang Ruochen. Even his Ten Saints Blood Armor was useless. It couldn’t survive Zhang Ruochen’s palm print at all.
All the Saints present were terrified, thinking that Zhang Ruochen was an undefeatable god of death.
They thought that the three forces together could kill Zhang Ruochen as easily as killing an ant. In reality, they were very wrong. The three forces all suffered great losses. After all, not many Saints could survive all the challenges to arrive at the ice land. Now, Zhang Ruochen killed a huge group. There were less than 15 Saints in total from the three forces.
Each death was a big matter. The remaining Saints all fled in panic, rushing down.
Zhang Ruochen used the Spatial Move and charged at a Death Knight. He was currently neck-in-neck fighting with the Abyss Ancient Sword.
The sword spirit of the Abyss Ancient Sword emerged, hovering at the sword hilt. It was a three-inch-tall man with a pair of black wings. The sword spirit was controlling this battle sword to fight with the Death Knight.
When the Abyss Ancient Sword became a Ten-thousand-pattern Saint Weapon, the sword spirit would be able to form a true body. By then, it could even cultivate on its own, absorbing Spiritual Qi. It wouldn’t need Zhang Ruochen’s Holy Qi for support.
As long as Zhang Ruochen’s sword intent wasn’t extinguished, the sword spirit would be able to take over the sword to continue fighting. He could fly to ten thousand miles away to kill enemies.
That Death Knight had personally seen Zhang Ruochen slap another Death Knight to death. He knew that he wasn’t Zhang Ruochen’s match. Thus, when he saw Zhang Ruochen appear beside him, he said coldly, “Today, I will kill you and rid us of a great enemy of the Immortal Vampires.”
“Where do you get the confidence to kill me?” Zhang Ruochen grabbed the hilt of the Abyss Ancient Sword. He brought it down, Sword Qi falling down like a waterfall.
“It won’t be hard to kill you.”
A cold decisive look filled the Death Knight’s eyes. A blood-red bead inside his heart spun quickly and exploded with a boom. Then a blood-red mass of Death God Light came out of the Death Knight’s body like a roaring tidal wave. It formed ring after ring of blood light, turning the ice gorge blood-red.
Zhang Ruochen cut down with a sword. Attacked by the Death God Light, the sword grew slower and slower. Even the Destruction of the Thousand Patterns was being reduced.
“Oh no, the Death God Knight used taboo force.”
Zhang Ruochen had heard the Moon-burial Sword Saint mention this before. Each Death Knight had a treasure inside him that could unleash incredible force. Even he was a bit scared.
However, the treasure was fused with the Death Knight’s body. Once activated, he would die too. Thus, the Death Knight wouldn’t use the force unless there were no other choices.
What kind of power would make even a Sword Saint terrified?
Without any hesitation, Zhang Ruochen activated the Ten Saints Blood Armor to protect himself. He used the Spatial Move at the same time and rushed into the Mercury Gourd.
Kaboom.
The Death Knight struck the gourd with a battle spear. The gourd seemed to be wooden, but the spear didn’t leave any marks. The gourd spun and smashed into the five-colored ice wall with a boom. A part of the ice wall collapsed.
Zhang Ruochen fell onto the jade island in the Mercury Gourd. His back was bleeding. Even though he’d escaped fast enough and had the Ten Saints Blood Armor to fend it off, the spear’s Qi had still hit his back. It had almost penetrated his body.
“Such terrifying taboo strength. It’s only a wisp of Qi, but I couldn’t fend it off now. No wonder not many people can escape from a Death Knight’s pursuit.”
If it wasn’t Zhang Ruochen, and were an Absolute Land or Heaven Pass Saint instead, they would definitely get killed by the Death Knight.
That burst of power could threaten a true Saint. Of course, the stronger the power, the bigger the expenses.
Zhang Ruochen believed that the Death Knight wouldn’t be able to continue fighting in that state. He could only attack a few times at most. Then his strength would plummet, even becoming weaker than before, until he was completely sapped dry.
Boom.
The Death Knight used his strongest attacks to keep attacking the Mercury Gourd, trying to smash it open. In his eyes, it was only a gourd. It couldn’t protect Zhang Ruochen’s life.
Zhang Ruochen closed his eyes, using a technique. Without using any pills or medicine, his back injury healed with a speed visible to the naked eye.
The Death Knight’s attacks were weakening. Zhang Ruochen didn’t wait any longer. He rushed out of the Mercury Gourd, appearing above the Death Knight. “Now,” he uttered, “it’s my turn!”
Whoosh!
A beam of black sword light fell down on the Death Knight.
He’d already used up 90% of his energy and couldn’t fend off the Abyss Ancient Sword at all. The sword penetrated the Ten Saints Blood Armor, stabbing down at the Death Knight’s head.

With a poof, the Death Knight’s body exploded like a cracked watermelon.
Zhang Ruochen charged to the bottom of the ice gorge. A while later, an ancient hundred-meter-wide stone bridge appeared below him. It crossed the entire ice gorge, hovering in the air. Only a portion of the bridge was revealed. Most of it was covered by five-colored light.
On the surface of the ice land, the gorge was 100 miles in diameter. The lower one went, the bigger the ice gorge was. This meant that the bridge was far longer than 100 miles. Merely thinking about it was impressive.
Even a Saint couldn’t construct such a majestic stone bridge in the Yin center of the Yin Yang Sea.
Zhang Ruochen landed on the end of the stone bridge. He was immediately met with an ancient aura. The feeling was very strange. It gave him the feeling that he’d suddenly been transported to the ancient times.
Each pattern carved on the stone bridge was filled with mysterious saintly power. One could comprehend a King-level technique if one studied carefully.
Even though he was inside the ice gorge, the boundless feeling that Zhang Ruochen felt was like standing in the center of the universe. This feeling didn’t last long. Zhang Ruochen suddenly felt that the space was extremely cramped. It was like being stuck in a speck of dust. Even breathing was difficult.
Right now, the Saints of the Immortal Vampires, Ancient Dragon Mountain, and Nine Li Palace were all standing on the bridge. With fanatic expressions, they were operating techniques with all might, absorbing the five-colored Qi on the bridge.
That is…Chaotic Qi. There’s actually Chaotic Qi here.
Zhang Ruochen was surprised. A strange thought appeared in his mind. Could the five-colored light escaping from the ice gorge be Chaotic Qi and Extreme Yin Dragon Qi?
These two were both priceless treasures.
The stone bridge was a very special place. There was only Chaotic Qi on the bridge, with no Extreme Yin Dragon Qi. Any creature could come to absorb it.
Even a shred of Chaotic Qi had endless benefits for beings. Even Taigu Remains like the Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon and Prince White Li who’d absorbed Chaotic Qi as fetuses wouldn’t mind absorbing more.
Zhang Ruochen’s appearance shattered the peace on the stone bridge.
The Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon stood on the bridge in human form. Hundreds of dragon shadows flew around him. Chaotic Qi kept getting curled into him. He opened a demonic eye and said coldly, “Zhang Ruochen, you dared to enter here alone. Are you looking for death?”
The other Saints on the bridge all radiated cold murderous Qi. The feeling was too thick, even forming a blood-red cloud. One could see thousands of soldier and horse apparitions in the clouds, as well as thousands of swords and weapons.
The tangible murderous Qi was enough to intimidate Saints.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t feel any fear. Heaving his sword, he walked up the stone bridge toward them. “Where are Huang Yanchen and Qing Mo?”
The Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon laughed menacingly. “You’re late. They’re already dead!”
“If they’re dead, all of you will be buried with them.”
Zhang Ruochen’s every word radiated with icy Qi. The murderous Qi that surged out of him formed thousands of soldiers and horses too. It clashed with the Saints on the bridge, forming explosive sounds.
The Saints on the bridge all sneered, thinking that Zhang Ruochen didn’t know his own level. With their cultivations, they only needed to attack together and Zhang Ruochen would be shattered no matter how powerful he was.
Qi Sheng’s expression was indifferent. “We won’t accompany them. The one who’ll accompany them is you. I am truly surprised that you could kill two Death Knights, but a man’s power is still limited. You can’t go against the heavens. The Saints present aren’t nobodies either. We don’t need to all work together. Only two or three working together will completely destroy you. You won’t be able to escape even if you use spatial power.”
Clearly, Qi Sheng admitted that he wasn’t Zhang Ruochen’s match by himself. He needed to work with others to kill him.
Ying Huo was covered in a thin red veil. Her curves were beautiful. She stood in a cloud of blood, her snowy-white skin coming in and out of view. She looked extremely mesmerizing and mysterious. One would be tempted to walk in and rip off her thin veil.
Not many men could resist the temptation.
Her starry eyes stared straight at Zhang Ruochen. Laughing sweetly, she said, “The Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon isn’t lying. Your fiancée is indeed dead already.”
Then Ying Huo reached out a slender finger and pointed to the right of the stone bridge.
Zhang Ruochen’s heart jumped violently. Getting a bad feeling, he looked in the direction that Ying Huo pointed. He indeed saw Huang Yanchen and Qing Mo.
An ice mountain hovered around 500 meters to the right of the bridge. Huang Yanchen and Qing Mo’s bodies were broken and covered in blood, sealed in the ice mountain. The image was ineffably tragic. Even Zhang Ruochen’s heart turned to ice.
The ice in the five-colored gorge was multiple times colder than the ice in the Abandoned Deep Sea. Once sealed, it could only mean death.
“No…”
Zhang Ruochen almost shattered his teeth by grinding them. He clenched his fists tightly too, unable to describe the fury and sadness in his heart.
After learning that Huang Yanchen and Qing Mo had been hit into the ice gorge, he’d already been prepared inside. But when he saw them with his own eyes, he still felt heartbroken. He couldn’t accept this reality.
