Chapter 2539: Kindness Had Been Disregarded

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The battle between the two world-famous Supreme Saints did not cause the sky to collapse and the earth to crumble. However, it shocked many important figures in the Royal City of Hundred Clans.

The sacred grounds of the various races were all shocked.

The sacred tower that Yan Huangtu, Yan Zhexian, and the Terra Demons were in was called the Kun Tower. It was a famous ancient scenic spot in the Royal City of Hundred Clans.

Legend has it that in the Middle Ages, after the Infernal Court declared war on the Celestial Court, there were supreme-level powerful figures who invited the gods to this tower.

Therefore, whenever cultivators came to the Royal City of Hundred Clans, most would go to the Kun Tower to admire the places of interest and reminisce about the supreme-level powerful figures.

In addition, the protective array of the Kun Tower was powerful, and it was very close to the place where Zhang Ruochen and Que Shenzi were fighting. Therefore, more and more Supreme Saints poured in. Each had a huge background and looked like a Supreme Saint meeting.

In the eyes of ordinary cultivators, the Supreme Saint was the king of the Saint Realm.

However, among the Supreme Saints, there was nobility and inferiority.

Yan Huangtu sensed something and looked toward the corridor.

The footsteps became louder.

A moment later, a man and a woman came up the stairs, surrounded by a group of Supreme Saints.

They were the new Scioness of the Fane of Destiny, Pan Ruo, and Que, who had already entered the Thousand-Koan Realm.

Que seemed to be standing in oblivion. Few people could see his face clearly.

Pan Ruo was like a pearl in the sky. She was beautiful but cold as ice. All the Saints who came to visit felt like they couldn’t get close.

Yan Huangtu’s gaze fell on Que. He laughed loudly. “You’re just in time. I don’t think that Que Shenzi is a match for Zhang Ruochen. Do you want to fight in the next round?”

Que walked to the window and stood straight like a sword. He looked at the long street with chaotic precepts and surging qi. “Today is the Fane of Death is the show’s main character.”

Yan Huangtu said, “Aren’t you afraid that Zhang Ruochen won’t make it through?”

Que didn’t say a word. He was like a sword hidden in a sheath.

Xuan Zehai and Xuan Qingying were top figures at the edge of the Infernal Court. Their cultivation far surpassed Que’s. However, with the arrival of Que, the two of them were more or less nervous and felt a little pressure.

Pan Ruo’s gaze swept over Yan Zhexian without leaving any trace, especially the position of her belly.

Everyone in the building had their own oddities and was observing each other.

After a moment of silence, Que said, “If it were anywhere else, I would be a little worried that he would fall at the hands of the Fane of Death. However, I should be more worried that he would start a massacre and chop the Supreme Saint like firewood in the Royal City of Hundred Clans. But…”

“Do you think it’s strange?” Yan Huangtu laughed.

“Yes.”

Que and Yan Huangtu had fought with Zhang Ruochen more than once. They knew him very well, so they naturally found some clues.

Que turned to look at Pan Ruo and asked, “What do you think, Scioness?”

“Zhang Ruochen can almost fully mobilize the power of the Demigod-level physique. His palm can flip the sky, his fist can overturn the earth, and he can’t use the Paramount physique. He’s invincible in close combat.” Pan Ruo wasn’t stingy with her exaggerations. Her evaluation was extremely high.

Yan Huangtu’s eyes were as wide as copper bells. He smiled slightly. “Does the Scioness not understand what we mean, or is she pretending not to understand?”

It was no wonder that Yan Huangtu had such doubts. After all, almost all the Supreme Saints present could see that Zhang Ruochen was able to fight against Que Shenzi by relying on the Demigod-level physique and the Yin Yang Five-Element Saintwill.

With these two things, Zhang Ruochen was indeed invincible in close combat. He had the advantage in the Royal City of Hundred Clans.

Since everyone could see it, why did he need to ask a Scioness with extraordinary wisdom?

Pan Ruo walked to Yan Zhexian’s side and looked out the window. Her figure was as exquisite as the picture of a fairy on the wall. She said, “Zhang Ruochen’s style today is different from usual.”

“Yes! This is the most confusing part!”

Yan Huangtu continued, “In Kunlun, Zhang Ruochen kills wherever he goes. No matter who the Scion or Scioness was, he would kill anyone who provoked him. He killed all the cultivators of the ten clans of the Infernal Court.

“In the Battlefield of Merits, he also killed many people. Whether it was the Ghost Master’s son or his former brother, they were all dead.

“Back then, in the House of Enchanteurs of Hoth, Yuan Benji had casually said ‘you’re like a coward’ to anger Zhang Ruochen. He claimed that he was humiliated and that he had to kill him.

“Although Zhang Ruochen may have other motives, it also means that he can’t be bothered. Any cultivator who provokes him must be mentally prepared to bear his boundless anger.

“But now…”

Although the battle on the street was fierce, Zhang Ruochen’s voice could repeatedly be heard urging Que Shenzi to stop.

Was this still Zhang Ruochen?

“Peace is the most important thing. Fighting won’t solve the problem.”

“Your Highness, please stop. We don’t have to fight to the death. Why don’t we go into the building and drink the sacred wine to forget our past grudges?”

“It’s really a misunderstanding. I didn’t kill Shan Qiu. The truth will come out one day.”

…

Hearing Zhang Ruochen’s nagging and Que Shenzi’s inability to defeat him, he suddenly became impatient. He gnashed his teeth and shouted, “Shut up!”

“Are you sure you don’t want to consider it? It’s better to end enmities than to end them. I swear I didn’t kill Shan Qiu in the name of Wargod Bloodximius.” Zhang Ruochen’s words were firm and sonorous.

The cultivators were shocked. They realized that it was possible that Zhang Ruochen didn’t kill Shan Qiu.

But did the Fane of Death really care if Zhang Ruochen killed Shan Qiu?

The answer was obviously no.

The Fane of Death’s goal was to use this as an excuse to humiliate Zhang Ruochen. They could even kill Zhang Ruochen and take everything from him. Of course, finding the superior-grade Divine Crystal of Origin was also an important purpose.

The major forces did nothing because they wanted the Fane of Death to stand out and see if the superior-grade Divine Crystal of Origin was with Zhang Ruochen.

Pan Ruo had never been so confused about Zhang Ruochen. Her beautiful eyes were full of doubt.

SWOOSH!

Que Shenzi retreated far away and stared at Zhang Ruochen coldly.

Zhang Ruochen looked happy and gentle. He smiled warmly and said, “That’s right. I said it was a misunderstanding. We should shake hands and have a good time.”

Then he looked at Yuan Benji on the tower in the distance and said, “Brother Yuan Benji, I won’t argue with you about the House of Enchanteurs!”

Yuan Benji’s face was livid. He wanted to curse out loud. He hated it in his heart. “In the House of Enchanteurs, I was almost burned to death by that Phoenix beside you, okay? If you don’t argue with me, I will make you die a horrible death.”

Yuan Benji said in a deep voice, “Que Shenzi, Zhang Ruochen can only fight with you by relying on his strong body. Don’t fight him in close combat. You can kill him with a flip of your hand with your cultivation.”

Que Shenzi wasn’t stupid. How could he not see Zhang Ruochen’s strength clearly?

But this was the Royal City of Hundred Clans. All cultivators’ cultivation was severely suppressed. They could only fight in close combat. It wasn’t like in the starry sky, where they could instantly pull hundreds of miles apart and release trillions of precepts to crush Zhang Ruochen.

Zhang Ruochen said, “Brother Yuan, why are you so cruel? Have I offended you in some way? Hurry up and explain in detail. Maybe we won’t have any conflicts!”

Yuan Benji sneered and said, “Ruochen, no matter how much you admit defeat, you won’t escape today.”

In everyone’s eyes, Zhang Ruochen’s actions showed weakness due to the situation.

The more so, the greater the smiles on the faces of the Supreme Saints of the Fane of Death. They wished they could press Zhang Ruochen’s head to the ground and stomp on it. Only then would they feel happier.

“Let’s fight. Stop talking nonsense. It won’t be useful even if you kneel and beg for mercy today.”

Que Shenzi released all 1.7 billion precepts in his body. They filled the space within dozens of feet. They destroyed all the Path Locks, Supreme Saint inscriptions, and Divine Marks in the area, and a deadly Precept Domain was formed.

3.6 billion Divine Marks were like 3.6 billion divine rivers flowing in the Sea of precepts.

1.7 billion precepts were like 1.7 trillion boulders. 3,600 million Divine Marks were like 3,600 million mountains. Both of them were pressing on Zhang Ruochen.

Why did Yuan Benji think that Que Shenzi could suppress Zhang Ruochen with a flip of his hand as long as he pulled away?

It was precise because of the difference in the precepts.

Many cultivators felt that Zhang Ruochen was doomed. After all, a Hundred-Shackle Realm Supreme Saint could cultivate more than 10 billion precepts.

The 100-fold difference couldn’t be made up.

However, Zhang Ruochen wasn’t as simple as they thought. A strange spatial structure appeared around his body. The 1700 billion precepts couldn’t directly press down on him.

Compared to when he fought with Lord Ironclad, Zhang Ruochen had more methods to deal with a superior at the peak of the Banshi Isshou Realm.

Zhang Ruochen looked dejected and sighed dejectedly. “Fine. Since I can’t persuade you to change your resentment, I can only find another way to solve this problem. Come on, Brother Que, I’ll fight with you.”

Hearing the word “Brother Que,” the corner of Que Shenzi’s mouth twitched.

He couldn’t take it anymore. Que Shenzi shouted, “Abyssal Palm.”

He formed a palm print with both hands and mobilized his divine power and precepts. Instantly, the phantom of the abyssal river appeared around him, producing deafening waves.

This kind of saint technique was one of the Fane of Death’s 72 Paramount Techniques.

Que Shenzi had already cultivated Abyssal Palm to the ninth level, reaching the level of Banshi Isshou saint technique.

The power of the palm print was overwhelming.

3.6 billion precept marks turned into 36 divine rivers, complementing the palm print.

SWOOSH!

The space trembled, and Zhang Ruochen disappeared.

“Great Dimensional Shift! How is this possible? He can still use the dimensional move in the Royal City of Hundred Clans under the suppression of my Precept Domain?”

Que Shenzi was shocked. He hadn’t expected Zhang Ruochen to be so strange. However, this palm had no return. He couldn’t withdraw his power and attack elsewhere.

Zhang Ruochen reappeared beside Que Shenzi.

If he attacked now, even if Que Shenzi could save his life, he wouldn’t be able to escape the fate of being heavily injured.

But what shocked everyone was that Zhang Ruochen didn’t attack.

That’s right.

He didn’t attack.

Instead, Zhang Ruochen asked again, “Is there really no room for discussion?”

Rumble

Que Shenzi’s palm power hit the position where Zhang Ruochen’s previous battle strength had been. It destroyed an ancient building protected by the Supreme Saint inscription and array formation and turned it into ruins.

SWOOSH!

Que Shenzi turned his head to look at Zhang Ruochen, who was close to him. Like a rabbit whose tail had been stepped on, he immediately fled and distanced himself from Zhang Ruochen again. He was both shocked and angry.

What was shocking was that Zhang Ruochen had just posed a great threat to his life.

He was angry because he felt that Zhang Ruochen was teasing and humiliating him.

“Golden Flare.”

Que Shenzi turned into a golden man. Golden Streams of divine flame gushed out of his pores, turning this area into a fire domain.

It was another one of the 72 Paramount saint techniques.

The difference was that Que Shenzi had cultivated the Golden Flare to the tenth level, which had reached the level of the supreme high-level saint technique.

It was not an ability for a Banshi Isshou Realm Supreme Saint to cultivate a Banshi Isshou Realm high-level saint technique. However, it was an amazing thing to cultivate a supreme high-level saint technique.

The Golden Flare could be used to attack or defend.

Que Shenzi immediately calmed down, and his fear disappeared.

He was sure that the legend was true. Zhang Ruochen must have grasped the Canon of Dimension. Without the Canon of Dimension, how could he use the dimensional move in that situation?

Zhang Ruochen was too stupid. He hadn’t attacked just now.

Now that he was on guard, how could he give him another chance?

Very good!

As long as he killed Zhang Ruochen, the Canon of Dimension and the Canon of Destiny belonged to him!

“Zhang Ruochen, you will be the first dead spirit under the tenth level of the Golden Flare. Let me send you on your way.”

Que Shenzi was very confident in this saint technique. After Summoning 3.6 billion precept marks to defend himself, he immediately mobilized the Golden Flare and condensed a firebird.

It was indeed very powerful. The temperature of the Golden Flare cultivated by Que Shenzi was close to 100,000 levels. Even Zhang Ruochen’s Demigod-level physique could not withstand it.

Zhang Ruochen wasn’t scared at all. He shook his head and extremely disappointedly said, “Why are you so stubborn?”

“I’ll kill you!”

Que Shenzi gritted his teeth and shouted. The strange flaming bird spread its wings and rushed toward Zhang Ruochen with a burning aura.

“Curse of Light and Dark.”

The Myriad Curse Bead flew to Zhang Ruochen’s head. It floated there and didn’t move. A supreme inscription appeared.

All the flaming birds crashed into a ball of purple light, turning into balls of fire.

It was the dark light.

The ball of dark light enveloped Que Shenzi.

Zhang Ruochen grabbed it with five fingers and said, “Retract!”

The ball of dark light quickly shrank to only two meters in diameter, trapping Que Shenzi.

Que Shenzi roared in the dark light, bursting with shocking divine power. He stretched out his arms, trying to break them.

“Retract!” Zhang Ruochen said.

The dark light pressed down on Que Shenzi’s body until it kept shrinking.

There was a commotion all around. All the cultivators were shocked and in disbelief.

How could Zhang Ruochen be so assertive?

A single ray of dark light could suppress the top battle strength of a Banshi Isshou Realm Supreme Saint.

Some Supreme Saints saw through it and knew that Zhang Ruochen was using spiritual power to activate the Myriad Curse Bead. Seeing this, they were even more shocked.

How powerful was Zhang Ruochen’s spiritual power?

The Curse of Dark and Light finally broke through Que Shenzi’s defense. It turned into a purple curse mark and suppressed his body. Que Shenzi felt as if he was bound by thousands of shackles. It was difficult for him to move a finger, let alone continue fighting.

Que Shenzi saw Zhang Ruochen walking over. He opened his mouth with difficulty and said, “This… is the power of… A Supreme Artifact?”

“Yes, you don’t know? Don’t you even have a Supreme Artifact?” Zhang Ruochen said.

Que Shenzi’s eyes were filled with sorrow. He cursed in his heart. If I had a Supreme Artifact, how could I be suppressed by your Curse of Dark and Light?

Zhang Ruochen had already walked up to him.

Que Shenzi’s heart tightened. He quickly said, “Enemies… are easy to form… not easy to resolve. How about… how about we first remove the curse… We enter the tower and smile… drink…”

Before he could finish, Zhang Ruochen said thoughtfully, “No! You have resentment toward me. If you want to kill me, I can’t let you go like this. Unless I can first remove the resentment in your heart and resolve the root of the conflict.”

Que Shenzi shook his head slightly, indicating that he had no grudge.

Zhang Ruochen patted his shoulder and shook his head. He said, “I can see that you don’t have a grudge. You’re just afraid that I’ll kill you,” he said. “Don’t worry. How can I, Zhang Ruochen, be a bloodthirsty person? In my opinion, you should stay by my side and let me educate you for a while. When your resentment has calmed down, your hostility has dissipated, and you’ve completely believed me, I’ll let you go.”

Que Shenzi felt the greatest humiliation in his life. Zhang Ruochen clearly wanted to take him in as a slave, but he said it so grandly. It was highly hypocritical.

“Actually, there’s a faster way. I just need to cut off some of your memories and emotions. Your resentment will naturally disappear, just like the four of them!”

Zhang Ruochen pointed at the four expressionless White Reapers.

Que Shenzi’s face changed. If his emotions and desires were cut off, wouldn’t he be able to enter the divinity?

Zhang Ruochen was actually so ruthless that he wanted to destroy his Path.

Que Shenzi’s body couldn’t help but tremble. He looked at Yuan Benji and the other Supreme Saints in the distance with a pleading look.

Zhang Ruochen changed the topic. He said sincerely, “But that’s just a temporary solution. I, Zhang Ruochen, don’t care about it. It’s better to change a person’s mind and let him cultivate Buddhism, Path, or Confucianism. Are you willing to be a cultivator, a Taoist, or a scholar who reads thousands of books?”

Que Shenzi opened his mouth and said tremblingly, “Zhang Ruochen is evil. Save… Save Me!”
