Chapter 1715 - Inescapable Trap



Chapter 1715: Inescapable Trap

Feng Yan had crossed the fifth level of sea and Xiang Chunan had crossed the sixth level. They all earned a lot of time to cultivate in the Truth Godly Palace, so they prepared to go in and continue in isolation.

On the other hand, Zhang Ruochen received information from Feng Yan that Hell World was mustering troops to conquer Kunlun’s Field. If the Heaven and Earth Altar was broken through, it would immediately start a battle that could destroy the world.

Thus, he was in no mood to cultivate in isolation. He prepared to return to the Moon Goddess Dojo and see how things were. Then he would hurry to the Moon Goddess Mountain and meet with her.

He even planned on meeting Chi Yao personally. He had to get answers to his questions and guesses from her.

After these years of challenges, Zhang Ruochen was confident that even if he stood before Chi Yao, he wouldn’t be crushed by her divine might.

Zhang Ruochen left Kongling Island alone. He used the spatial transfer formation and hurried toward the Moon Goddess Dojo in the Heavenly Capital Saint Market.

One year had passed. Was Mu Lingxi still cultivating in the Truth Heavenly Domain?

How were the Amazing Little Taoist and emperor saint jade after Blackie trained them? Had they conquered all of Guanghan Field’s dojos?

Thinking of all this, Zhang Ruochen grew more impatient.

He had to go through many transfers from Kongling Island to reach the Heavenly Capital Saint Market.

Whoosh!

After the second transfer, he was already far from Kongling Island and the Truth Godly Palace. He’d arrived at a vast wilderness.

As soon as he poured in Holy Qi to activate the formation and start the next transfer, he realized, “Oh no, someone messed with the formation.”

He sensed something amiss and his expression changed. He hurriedly used the Spatial Move and moved miles away.

Kaboom!

The spatial transfer formation under the ground exploded, releasing destructive power.

In an instant, the land within miles of the formation sank underground. A lot of thunder, fire, and spatial cracks interwove in that area, making it look like the end of the world.

Someone had set up a trap under the formation. If Zhang Ruochen put in Holy Qi, it would activate fatal force.

It wasn’t easy to produce such destruction in the Heaven World.

If he stood in the center, he would’ve died even if he was a prepared ninth step Saint King.

Zhang Ruochen had already used the Spatial Move to escape to miles away, but he was still hit by a shockwave. He flew out and crashed into a mountain.

Someone set that up to kill me.

As soon as that thought flashed past his mind, horrible murderous intent traveled from the ground.

Everywhere it passed turned icy. The ground was sealed and turned into an ice gorge.

Whoosh!

Without giving him time to escape, a thick bolt of silver lightning fell from the sky, hitting his head.

He activated the Word Armor and Hundred Saint Blood Armor, but they were useless against the blow.

The Word Armor was shattered, turning into scattered words.

The Hundred Saint Blood Armor was penetrated. A hole appeared and part of the armor was melted into metallic liquid by the lightning.

The small mountain—hundreds of meters tall—disappeared instantly. It sank into the ground, turning into a canyon with plumes of smoke.

A moment later, four figures descended from the sky, landing beside the canyon. Each one wore a mask and radiated with strong murderous Qi.

They were four Killer Heavenly Kings from the Heavenly Assassination Organization. Each one was a top figure.

One black-clothed cultivator walked out slowly with a bamboo flute in his hands.

“Greetings, Second Death Emissary.”

The four Killer Heavenly Kings bowed to this black-clothed cultivator.

“Did Zhang Ruochen die?” the Second Death Emissary asked.

“Zhang Ruochen is highly alert,” one Killer Heavenly King said. “He dodged the fatal trap set up under the transfer formation, but Lord Liancheng’s Breaking Divine Thunder hit him squarely.”

The Second Death Emissary nodded. “Master’s Breaking Divine Thunder had accumulated for half a year for this one hit. Even Su Jing of Guanghan Field would die from this hit, let alone Zhang Ruochen.”

“We prepared fully to set up this fatal trap. How can Zhang Ruochen survive?”

But the Second Death Emissary wasn’t confident. “Zhang Ruochen isn’t a regular person. The higher figures take this assassination very seriously. We can only succeed. We cannot fail. Go and check. It’s best if you can find his corpse.”

A short and thin Killer Heavenly King said, “Lord Liancheng’s Breaking Divine Thunder is so powerful. How can Zhang Ruochen have left a corpse behind? His bones must have turned to ashes.”

“Zhang Ruochen has some treasures that even the Breaking Divine Thunder can’t destroy,” the Second Death Emissary said. “Go and find them.”

Just as the four Killer Heavenly Kings were about to jump into the canyon, shocking saintly might radiated from the bottom.

Zhang Ruochen flew out with the Time and Space Secret Guide in one hand, the Abyss Ancient Sword in the other. He stabbed the sword out, hitting one Killer Heavenly King.

That killer was a fifth step Saint King and definitely strong.

But even though he used all his tactics, he couldn’t block Zhang Ruochen’s sword. His heart was stabbed through, turning into fragments of flesh.

That Killer Heavenly King didn’t die. Bearing the intense pain of his heart being shattered, his eyes under the mask hardened. He clenched his hands into claws and went for Zhang Ruochen’s heart.

Poof!

The Carnivorous Holy Flower burst out of Zhang Ruochen’s back. It transformed into sharp vines that stabbed at the Killer Heavenly King.

The killer’s body started wilting and he let out a strangled cry.

The Second Death Emissary and other three Killer Heavenly Kings saw this. They all used their fastest speed to retreat, putting distance between them and Zhang Ruochen.

Zhang Ruochen pulled his Abyss Ancient Sword back. The fifth step Saint King fell to the ground, turning into fertilizer for the Holy Carnivorous Flower.

“Extract his saint soul and preserve it. I have other uses for it,” Zhang Ruochen said to the flower.

Then he raised his head. The sky above him had turned blood red. The color stretched to the horizon as if it was an independent blood world.

“The Breaking Divine Thunder, Lifeless Blood Prison. Seems like you are from the Heavenly Assassination Organization. My head must be worth a lot of money, right?”

If Zhang Ruochen hadn’t used the Time and Space Secret Guide in time, he probably really would’ve gotten killed by the Breaking Divine Thunder.

This was a one-time attack. The cultivator would spend countless days or even months to accumulate power and release it all at once. This one attack could kill cultivators even stronger than them.

This was a consummate skill from the Heavenly Assassination Organization!

The Second Death Emissary scoffed. “Zhang Ruochen, your head is indeed valuable. It’s worth enough that those Supreme Saints hope they can kill you to get the generous sum.”

“I’m curious,” Zhang Ruochen said. “How did you find this transfer formation? Who set up the fatal trap under it? That trap contained spatial power. It is indeed difficult.”

The Second Death Emissary looked at Zhang Ruochen as if he was already dead. “Clearly, a powerful spatial figure calculated the coordinates of the transfer formation. He personally set up that fatal trap.”

“Spatial cultivators in the Truth Heavenly Domain who can calculate the coordinates of the formation can be counted on one hand,” Zhang Ruochen said. “That powerful figure must be Gong Ziyan, leader of the Space Divine Pavilion, right?”

The Second Death Emissary was about to say something, but he heard a forbidden order and closed his mouth.

While Zhang Ruochen talked to the Second Death Emissary, the three Killer Heavenly Kings had moved soundlessly. They appeared in three different spots and released strong Holy Qi into the ground.

Whoosh!

Many pieces of saint jade flew out of the ground. They created a formation that surrounded Zhang Ruochen.

“Spatial Imprisonment Formation.”

Zhang Ruochen’s eyes hardened. “Gong Ziyan,” he said out loud. “You are quite brave. You dare to work with the Heavenly Assassination Organization in the Truth Heavenly Domain to kill someone. Aren’t you afraid of getting exposed and punished by the Truth Godly Palace?”

Gong Ziyan’s voice rang out from above the bloody sky. “Zhang Ruochen, you changed your appearance and murdered in the God-Naming Platform but could escape the punishment of the Truth Godly Palace. I can obviously do that too. Plus, do you think you can escape today? If you die, who else will know that I took part in this?”

As expected, the cultivators of the Heaven Field Sect already guessed that he was the mysterious spatial cultivator.

Other than Gong Ziyan, who else was hiding in the shadows? Had Shang Ziyan come?

Clearly, the Heaven Field Sect had prepared sufficiently. They’d set up an inescapable trap to get rid of him. It was possible that this was related to the changes that would happen to Kunlun’s Field.

The Heaven Field Sect wanted to get rid of Zhang Ruochen before Kunlun’s Field changed. Otherwise, he would return to Kunlun’s Field and be in their way.

Zhang Ruochen didn’t know how many people were hidden, so he was greatly worried. He didn’t dare to stay here for long. He picked up the Abyss Ancient Sword and attacked a Killer Heavenly King to break out of the trap.

“You can’t escape.”

The Second Death Emissary started playing the bamboo flute. Sound waves spread out with Spiritual Power.

There were whooshes instantly and many black dots flew from the horizon, surrounding Zhang Ruochen.

They were thousands of birds the size of eggs. They were covered in scales and their beaks were like swords.

These were Death God Bee-Birds.

Each one was terrifyingly fast. As if flying on swords, they made piercing sounds of wind.

Even the Holy Carnivorous Flower couldn’t fight against the flock of Death God Bee-Birds. Its vines kept getting eaten. It only lasted for the span of ten breaths before escaping into Zhang Ruochen’s body.

Zhang Ruochen used Sword Way Xuangang to create a spherical shield of light, but it didn’t hold up. The birds could eat the Sword Xuangang, thinning out the shield.

Zhang Ruochen’s Sword Way Xuangang could only kill a dozen of the Death God Bird-Bees.
