Chapter 1486 - Skate on Thin Ice

Zhang Ruochen found Le in poisonous brambles under the cliff.

Half of Le’s body was burnt, and many of his bones cracked. His face paled, making him look like a corpse.

Zhang Ruochen bore the extreme pain and dragged Le out of the brambles.

Princess Luosha walked to Zhang Ruochen, looked at the ‘corpse’ on the ground and said, “Merits Battles are always this brutal as you never know when you’ll die. Let’s bury him!”

Zhang Ruochen slightly shook his head, still staring at Le.

Princess Luosha didn’t expect Zhang Ruochen to be this stubborn. Just when she tried to persuade him again to give up, she sensed something and started to observe the ‘corpse’ on the ground carefully.

“How is that possible... There’s life Qi and death Qi in his body, and they’re intertwined.”

Princess Luosha’s mind power was strong enough for her to sense the bizarre circulation in Le’s body, which shocked even her.

Le had formed Taichi Life and Death Mark in his body, and he was able to turn life Qi into death Qi, and vice versa.

As long as he had strong enough mind power, he could be immortal.

Unless he ran into an enemy who was powerful enough to crush his body into ashes and thus the Taichi Life and Death Mark.

Le had only refined the seventh circle of ‘Nine-Circle Life-Death Code’. If he finished the eighth, or even the ninth circle, he could survive even his body was crushed into ashes.

Le started to regain his vigor, and the life Qi in his body got thicker.

Zhang Ruochen relieved.

The four great beings from Eight Ministry Field were all amazed by the changes in Le’s body.

Mad Man was thrilled. He thought, “Zhang Ruochen has so many great talents following him. Han Qiu who practices Way of Darkness, an immortal and cold-blooded sword warrior and a Taigu remains Carnivorous Holy Flower. Even the greatest saints from a large field can’t fight them off.”

“Amitabha.”

Yuan Hun walked to Zhang Ruochen, smiled and said, “I’m Yuan Hun, the heir of Eight Ministry Field. Do you have time to talk about merits exchange, Donor Zhang?”

Zhang Ruochen nodded as he knew he needed to treat an heir with respect, “Mad Man has told you about the rules, hasn’t he?”

“Certainly.”

Yuan Hun said, “But thirty percent is a bit too much. How about twenty percent for the sake of a potential friendship?”

Yuan Hun followed Mad Man here voluntarily instead of ambushing Zhang Ruochen, which showed he was okay with Zhang Ruochen’s terms.

He only negotiated because he wanted to test Zhang Ruochen’s real power.

If Zhang Ruochen was indeed severely injured, he might agree to the bargain.

Zhang Ruochen didn’t expect the saints from Eight Ministry Field to arrive this soon.

He had had dealings with many cunning people before, so Zhang Ruochen knew what Yuan Hun had in mind. He said, “The saints from Kunlun’s Field have given me thirty percent of their merits. If I only get twenty percent from you guys, how will the saints from Kunlun’s Field feel about it?”

Princess Luosha chuckled and said, “What if we Great Devil Ten Square Field only give ten percent?”

Yuan Hun thought for a bit and said, “Then I won’t push you, Zhang. I’ll give you thirty percent.”

And then, Yuan Hun, Golden Leopard and Zhentian Tiger all took out their Luosha blood and fragmented souls, putting them in bottles.

Princess Luosha clenched his fist seeing the Luosha blood and fragmented souls on the ground, but she hid it very well on the surface.

Zhang Ruochen only took out the Merits Records Wall after getting thirty percent of the Luosha blood and fragmented souls.

Suddenly, the eyes of Golden Leopard and Zhentian Tiger gleamed. A great saint force started to tumble in their bodies.

When Zhang Ruochen brought out a Merits Records Wall, he also took out a saint sword.

It was the godly spirits weapon given by Moon God.

All the great beings who were present could sense the godly power contained in the saint sword.

Golden Leopard and Zhentian Tiger were startled. They immediately retracted their saint power and yelled, “How did you get a godly spirits weapon? Isn’t that not allowed in Zuling Field?”

Yuan Hun knew that all the priests from Shatuo Seven Fields had a godly spirits weapon, so he was very calm.

“Can’t believe Zhang Ruochen showed his godly spirits weapon. Seems like he doesn’t actually have that much bargaining power. But he can easily kill us with his godly spirits weapon if we try to seize the Merits Records Wall. We need to wait,” Yuan Hun thought.

Yuan Hun walked to the Merits Records Wall, opened his bottle and converted his Luosha blood and fragmented souls into three million and two hundred thousand merits.

Golden Leopard and Zhentian Tiger followed, getting eight hundred thousand merits and one point two million merits respectively.

Eight Ministry Field had now collected ninety-two million merits in total, and it was still at the third place.

As for Zhagn Ruochen, he obtained two point two million merits. Guanghan Field now had ninety-five million merits.

Yuan Hun smiled and said, “We had a good run. Mad Man will bring more saints from Eight Ministry Field for merits.”

“Hope we can cooperate well,” Zhang Ruochen said.

Yuan Hun looked to Princess Luosha and said, “Demonic Concubine, can we talk somewhere else.”

Princess Luosha said, “Sure thing.”

Yuan Hun and Princess Luosha walked down the saint mountain, followed by Mad Man, Golden Leopard and Zhentian Tiger.

Xifeng Saint Mountain became extremely quiet. Zhang Ruochen couldn’t suppress his wounds anymore. He spit out blood while his body shook. He stood on the ground slowly, tying up his meridians.

He was severely injured during the fight against the bone phoenix, and the fight against Qiu Yu only exacerbated it.

Zhang Ruochen should’ve treated his wounds earlier, but he had to sustain to intimidate the great beings from Eight Ministry Field.

Qiu Yu sneered, “You’ve finally had a taste of your own medicine. You can’t even move a finger of yours.”

Qiu Yu, though being tied, still managed to stand up and laughed, “I’m the winner today.”

Although Qiu Yu couldn’t mobilize saint Qi, his body constitution was still strong. He stuck his fingers out of the Saint-binding Chain and reached toward the sword, walking toward Zhang Ruochen.

Zhang Ruochen opened his eyes, “Lingxi.”

The space around them trembled, and Mu Lingxi walked out of the space crystal. As she saw Qiu Yu trying to stab Zhang Ruochen, she slapped him without hesitation.

Bang!

Qiu Yu bounced away after muffling, and his sword fell onto the ground.

“No! I... I almost won...”

Qiu Yu yelled.

Mu Lingxi immediately realized what was going on here.

Both Le and Zhang Ruochen were heavily injured, and neither of them was able to move.

How about the others?

“What happened?” Mu Lingxi asked.

Zhang Ruochen sat on the ground and sent a message using his mind power, “Make sure Qiu Yu stay. I’ll tell you everything after I recover.”

“Okay.”

Mu Lingxi held Le’s iron sword in one hand and Monument Shield in the other. She looked around as Zhang Ruochen’s and Le’s safety was in her hands now.

Qiu Yu lied on the ground and begged, “Lingxi, even if we’re not married, we were at least engaged. Please let me go. Zhang Ruochen will definitely kill me when he recovers.”

Mu Lingxi said, “My father forced me to get engaged with you. I didn’t want that.”

“But I’m your fiancé after all. Are you really going to let Zhang Ruochen kill me?”

Qiu Yu then said, “Have you forgotten that I saved your life in Blue Dragon Void World before? Is it really that difficult for you to spare my life? I don’t believe the girl I’m into is an ungrateful and vile person.”

Mu Lingxi looked conflicted and said, “You don’t need to use that against me. I’ll forever remember the favor I owe you, but there’s no way I can let you go, but I’ll ask Zhang Ruochen to spare your life.”

“Zhang Ruochen is ruthless! There’s no way he’ll spare my life. If you don’t let me go, you’re practically killing me, Lingxi. How are you going to sleep knowing that Qiu Yu dies because of you?” Qiu Yu said.
