Chapter 1912 - Annihilation

After Wangqiu Shenzi and the Nine-eye Heavenly Lord had been killed one after another, even Xia Wenxin had been severely wounded, and he had withdrawn from the Sword Vault as a result. How could the Immortal Vampire cultivators still be bold enough to fight?

However, the Immortal Vampire cultivators understood that it was only because Zhang Ruochen was inside the Sword Vault that he had such power.

So, all of them exited the Sword Vault as quickly as possible.

“Don’t even think of leaving.”

Zhang Ruochen did not pay any heed to the Immortal Vampire army. Instead, he locked his eyes on Xuetu Shenzi.

With the Ancient Abyssal Blade and the Blood Dripper as the core, the torrent, made out of countless converging swords swept toward Xuetu Shenzi.

“Must not fight head-on.”

Xuetu Shenzi drove the Infernal Purgatory Tower and rushed out of the Sword Vault.

His speed was fast, but under the power of time and space, the torrent of swords was even faster, and a moment later, it caught up to him.

“Zhang Ruochen.”

Xuetu Shenzi gritted his teeth as he roared those two words.

His eyes were burning with fury, almost on the verge of going insane.

It was because of the Sword Vault, it was because of the aid of the ghosts, and it was because of the Blood Dripper’s arrival, that time and time again his plans were disrupted, forcing him to retreat.

If the news of the battle were to go out, all of the Infernal Court’s cultivators would laugh at him.

Unfortunately, it was too late to say anything else.

Anyone could tell that the tide had turned.

Biting his teeth, Xuetu Shenzi cut his wrist, allowing plenty of blood essence to flow out and fuse into the Infernal Purgatory Tower.

The Infernal Purgatory Tower immediately activated and spat out a large amount of Purgatory Flames.

In the process, it continued to fall back.

Baaaam!!

The Ancient Abyssal Blade and the Blood Dripper moved in tandem as they slashed out a cross sword light. The strike penetrating the Infernal Purgatory Tower’s defenses and landed straight onto Xuetu Shenzi.

The sacred garb on Xuetu Shenzi’s body immediately ruptured as his physical defenses disintegrated. A cross-shaped sword wound appeared on his chest, and his entire body was almost cut into several pieces.

Blood gushed out of his chest wound, and his aura weakened.

While he may have survived, but he was very badly wounded, and was no longer able to continue fighting.

Just as Zhang Ruochen was about to land the coup de grace, the Infernal Purgatory Tower unleashed a terrifying divine aura and blasted the torrent of swords away.

Whoosh!

The Infernal Purgatory Tower took Xuetu Shenzi and instantly broke out from the Sword Vault.

Immediately after, a powerful divine power ripped the space apart, and the Infernal Purgatory Tower charged into it before disappeared without a trace.

“There is a god’s remnant soul inside the Infernal Purgatory Tower. Using a blood sacrifice, Xuetu Shenzi has roused the soul and used it to rip the dimension apart to escape,” Blood Dripper explained in a cold voice.

“That’s unfortunate!”

Hearing that, Zhang Ruochen frowned and sighed. “Xuetu’s strength is almost invincible for someone beneath a Supreme Saint. Even eight hundred years ago, the Tenth Emperor, Yan Liren might not necessarily be his match. To let such a powerful foe escape, there will be no end of trouble.”

“When the remnant soul of the god is awakened, even I cannot hold him back. However, he has been seriously injured, and the injury was to the core of his being. Therefore, he won’t be able to recover in a short time,” Blood Dripper’s Sword Spirit said.

Without the remnant soul of the god, even if Xuetu Shenzi were to flee the Sword Vault she was confident that she could keep him from fleeing.

“I’ll just kill him next time.”

Zhang Ruochen nodded and was not too fussed about it.

Zhang Ruochen believed that with the aid of the Sundial, he would be able to increase his cultivation base quickly. By then, even without the terrain advantage of the Sword Vault, and the power of the sixteen ancestral masters, he may be able to fight Xuetu Shenzi on an equal footing.

On the other side, while Zhang Ruochen was dealing with Xuetu Shenzi, the cultivators of the Immortal Vampires all retreated out of the Sword Vault as they fled out of the Zhenyu Clan grounds.

“Thank you, ancestral masters.”

After thanking the Dreadblades’ masters, Zhang Ruochen flew out of the Supreme Saint shadow formed by the sixteen ancestral masters.

Once out of the Sword Vault, he could no longer continue to borrow the power of the masters and had to rely on himself.

Fortunately, the Immortal Vampire army was in shambles and no longer a threat.

With Xia Wenxin in the lead, the Immortal Vampire army quickly approached the torn entrance that Immortal Ming had created earlier. They could only leave the Zhenyu Clan grounds through that path.

“Awesome, awesome! There’s no path ahead, so where do you think you’re running to?” Awesome, the Little Taoist appeared with a gleeful look on its face.

Prior to the appearance of the Ancient Abyssal Blade and Blood Dripper, it had followed Zhang Ruochen’s orders and came to seal the Immortal Vampire’s path of retreat.

As an array master, while it could not fully control the ancient wards, he could still control them in part, and that was enough to deal with the Immortal Vampires.

It had collected the thirty-six flag poles used by Immortal Ming to tear apart the ancient wards and had rearranged them to temporarily seal the torn wards together.

The thirty-six flag poles could be used to deploy a Ninth-rank Formation Array and could be considered a treasure. Now the flag poles belonged to it.

“Breach it!”

An Immortal Vampire elite roared as he launched an attack at Awesome, the Little Taoist without any hesitation.

With a pursuing foe approaching from behind, if he did not carve a path out, they could forget about fleeing.

“You think I’m here to be bullied? You want to breach it? Give it a try then.” Awesome, the Little Taoist put its hands over its chest with a scornful look on its face.

Before him, the seven Divine Planets had been lined up, forming a powerful Ninth-Rank Formation Array.

Boom!!

Various weapons and Saint Arts were blasted out, unleashing a dazzling radiance.

Awesome, the Little Taoist sniggered and looked very relaxed. It did not believe that this bunch could break his Ninth-Rank Formation Array.

So what if they had the numbers?

The seven Divine Planets had already combined with the ancient wards and were extremely powerful.

Xuetu Shenzi could escape because he had the help of the god’s remnant soul. The use of divine power to tear open the dimension was something the incomplete wards was unable to stop.

As for these remaining Immortal Vampires, what could they do to tear the ancient wards?

Awesome, the Little Taoist already knew that Immortal Ming was dead, so it was completely confident.

A moment later, Zhang Ruochen caught up with Bao Lie, Murong Yue, Xiang Chunan, and the rest, surrounding the remnants of the Immortal Vampires from all sides.

“Xia Wenxin, you are doomed to not escape today!”

Zhang Ruochen held the Ancient Abyssal Blade as he walked forward, step by step, as his eyes locked onto Xia Wenxin.

Xuetu Shenzi had escaped, and he could not allow Xia Wenxin to do the same as well.

Xia Wenxin looked at Zhang Ruochen with a smile. “Zhang Ruochen, to be honest, I’ve overly underestimated you in the past, and I really shouldn’t have. Perhaps I should have thought of a way to get rid of you when you were back in the Eastern Region. This time, you have indeed won, beautifully I might add. I look forward to fighting with you again.”

“Do you think you can get away?”

Zhang Ruochen grew cautious as he unfolded his arm. The Azuresky Pagoda and the Zangshan Demonic Mirror flew above his head, unleashing a tyrannical supreme force. The woman in red was even more direct, as she struck with the Blood Dripper in hand, slashing at Xia Wenxin.

“I never thought that the final chance to use the Worldskipper Talisman would be here.” Xia Wenxin shook his head and said.

Baaaam!!!

The moment Blood Dripper’s sword light struck, it was blocked by a divine light that flew out from between Xia Wenxin’s brows.

Zhang Ruochen unleashed the Azuresky Pagoda and the Zangshan Demonic Mirror, but the results were the same. They could not even get close to Xia Wenxin’s body.

A strange glint flashed past the woman in red’s eyes as she stared at Xia Wenxin, but she did not continue her attacks since she knew that it would be futile.

The next moment, the dimension shook as a divine light engulfed Xia Wenxin, and he disappeared without a trace.

“What’s going on? Why did you let that bastard run away?” Xiang Chunan spat.

Just now he could only watch as Xuetu Shenzi fled, and now he again could only watch as Xia Wenxin escaped, and that pissed Xiang Chunan off.

Ji Fanxin seemed to have some knowledge about the Worldskipper Talisman, and she said, “What Xia Wenxin has looks like an ancient talisman, and even a Supreme Saint won’t be able to keep him from leaving.”

All of the Shenzis of the Immortal Vampires each had their own means to save their lives.

The Nine-eye Heavenly Lord and Wangqiu Shenzi too had means to escape, but theirs were not as powerful as Xuetu or Xia Wenxin’s, so they were still slain.

“Although the two have escaped, we can wipe out all of these Immortal Vampire cultivators at once. Only by killing them to the point of them fearing us will they know that the Kunlun Realm has people whom they cannot afford to provoke.”

Zhang Ruochen raised his hand, and a Dimensional Collapse Scroll flew out.

Boom!!

The space within a large area immediately collapsed and dragged many Immortal Vampire warriors into it.

Against the power of space, the Immortal Vampires did not have any means to resist, and even a Saint King could only watch as they were crushed by it.

“Hmph.”

With a cold snort, Zhang Ruochen struck again.

The space was forcibly torn apart, as many giant rifts appearing and like a ravenous beast, they greedily devoured the Immortal Vampires.

“Kill them! Leave no one alive!”

Bao Lie roared and rushed into the fray.

The others did not hesitate and immediately followed the charge.

With Bao Lie, Murong Yue, and the others in the fray, the Saint Kings among the Immortal Vampires quickly fell one by one, and the rest were no longer a threat.

The Immortal Vampires were already terrified by the slaughter, and could not even form up into a formation. They only wanted to escape, but there was nowhere to run.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Their fate was already sealed, and there would be no more miracles.

After a fierce battle, the cultivators of the Zhenyu Clan annihilated all of the Immortal Vampires.

Against the Immortal Vampires, there was no need for mercy.

“We won! We actually won!”

Many people muttered to themselves as if they were dreaming.

In the face of the Immortal Vampire’s frenzied offensive, they had despaired again and again, and no one had thought that they would have a chance to turn things around.

“Junior sister, did you see it? I’ve avenged you!”

“Grandpa, we’ve held the Sword Vault, please rest in peace!”

“Father, don’t you worry, I will shoulder the responsibility of guarding the Sword Vault from now on.”

Many of the Zhenyu Clansmen were crying, remembering their fallen relatives and friends.

While they have won, no one could smile. Too many clansmen had died in this battle, and their homes had been ruined, so their hearts were filled with grief.

“Won? This is only just the beginning!”

Zhang Ruochen shook his head as he sighed within.

The Kunlun Realm was a mess, and there were incursions of powerhouses from the Infernal Court at every moment. The war had only just begun, and the future was destined to be even crueler.

Perhaps one day, the entire Kunlun Realm would be destroyed, and by then, who knew how many would survive.
