God Emperor

Seeing this, everyone was floored. It felt as if their hearts had stopped beating. They couldn’t accept this at all.

The Monks who’d cheered for Beigong Lan were now all frozen. Their mouths were open, their eyes were widened; their expressions were all of terrified shock.

Beigong Lan had actually…been defeated…

In the Central Region, Beigong Lan was equal to Ouyang Huan and Chi Wansui. She’d defeated countless famous figures with her Blue Cutthroat Sword.

However, this powerful legendary woman couldn’t withstand the Third Royal Prince’s one punch.

“This can’t be real. How can Senior Sister Apprentice Beigong lose?”

None of the Monks from the Central Region Saint Academy could accept this. How could their goddess be defeated by the Vampire prince?

Many Half-Saint elders in Shentai City sighed. Since Beigong Lan had lost, this meant that no one could stop the Third Royal Prince and Jialuo Gu in their ascent to the Heir Seat.

If they became Heirs, it would be a catastrophe to the entire Kunlun’s Field.

“I am a sinner.”

Saint Lady gripped the arms of her chair tightly. She’d never felt so repressed before. Even though she had an extremely high cultivation and had entered the Saint level, she still had to make decisions that she didn’t want to.

Actually, she’d guessed that the Third Royal Prince and Jialuo Gu had come prepared. She just didn’t think that they would bring the Thousand Treasure Cassock and Hundred Saint Blood Armor. These extremely powerful weapons would definitely catch these young talents by surprise.

The Third Royal Prince was able to defeat Beigong Lan because he was wearing the Hundred Saint Blood Armor.

This armor was made by combining blood from 100 Saints, divine bones, holy sources, and holy jade with the Vampires’ secret method. Not only did it contain the power of the 100 Saints, it also contained their knowledge and minds.

The armor even had a consciousness. Once it was activated by Holy Qi, it could perform advanced martial arts techniques like a Saint, using the principles of the Holy Road.

Having this armor was like having 100 teachers of the Saint level who continuously taught you knowledge about the Holy Road and martial arts.

If the Hundred Saint Blood Armor power was released fully, it would be equal to that of 100 Saints in one person. The person would fight with that power as well. He would be able to kill anyone he met.

Of course, with his current cultivation, the Third Royal Prince could only release a tiny bit of the armor’s power. He was worlds away from the power of 100 Saints.

Beigong Lan hadn’t lost to the Third Royal Prince’s punch due to being weaker. Instead, it was because the Hundred Saint Blood Armor was too powerful.

The armor wasn’t easy to make. There was only a handful in the entire Vampire race. The Third Royal Prince would definitely have to return it to the race after the Heir Banquet.

“No wonder that old Vampire could face all the Saints in Shentai so calmly despite being alone. It’s because of the Hundred Saint Blood Armor.”

Saint Lady peered upward at the sky. She stared at the white-haired Vampire and saw that he was smiling proudly now. He seemed to be laughing at her stupidity.

It was hard to imagine how destructive the power released from the Hundred Saint Blood Armor would be if worn by this 800-year-old creature.

Clearly, tonight’s Heir Banquet was a failure.

Since the situation was set, Saint Lady felt helpless too. There was no need for her to continue and attend the Sword Technique Conference after the Heir Banquet. She would return straight to the Central Region and beg forgiveness from the Empress.

Beigong Lan had fallen near the first King Seat. She was very close to Huang Yanchen.

Seeing that she was badly hurt, Huang Yanchen stood up immediately. She walked over, helped Beigong Lan into a sitting position, and fed her a pill.

Color gradually returned to Beigong Lan’s face. For the moment, she wasn’t in danger anymore.

Glancing at Huang Yanchen, she smiled bitterly. “Th…thanks…”

“We’re both disciples of the Saint Academy,” Huang Yanchen said. “No need to thank me.”

At this time, a huge shadow came from below, covering Huang Yanchen and Beigong Lan. A bloody and evil odor flooded over them as well.

Huang Yanchen raised her head. She looked over, only to see the Third Royal Prince covered in his blood-red armor. He stood in a cloud of Blood Qi and was extremely menacing.

Bright light shone from the eyeholes of the armor. They were like two blood lamps embedded in the metal.

The Third Royal Prince sneered. “What? The first King would like to fight with me too?”

Strands of Blood Qi streamed out of the armor like rivers of blood. They repressed Huang Yanchen, immobilizing her.

Huang Yanchen was obviously clear about her own cultivation. She couldn’t defeat the Third Royal Prince even without the Hundred Saint Blood Armor. Thus, she’d only come to help Beigong Lan. She had never thought about challenging the Vampire prince.

After putting on the Hundred Saint Blood Armor, the Third Royal Prince became even more bloodthirsty. A ghastly smiled appeared. “It doesn’t matter if you’re ready to fight with me. Since you walked out, you’ll be punished.”

The Third Royal Prince started activating his Blood Qi and threw his palm forward. The horrible power shot toward Huang Yanchen’s chest.

How could Huang Yanchen block the Third Royal Prince’s palm with her cultivation?

Many Monks sighed inwardly, thinking that Huang Yanchen should’ve minded her own business. Since she was already in the first King Seat, she should’ve just stayed there.

Wasn’t saving someone the Third Royal Prince had injured equal to suicide?

Subtly, most of the Talents and Conquers on Scroll Mountain had all become terrified of the Third Royal Prince and Jialuo Gu. They could only keep silent. They didn’t dare do anything that defied the two.

In Shentai City, many Half-Saint elders furrowed their brows. Things didn’t seem good.

If this terror spread, it would make everyone think that the Vampires and Immortal Sect were undefeatable. Later, if they really did appear in large numbers in Kunlun’s Field, many Monks would probably surrender out of fear without even fighting.

Someone had to step out now and defeat the Third Royal Prince and Jialuo Gu to dispel this fear.

Could Xue Wuye do it?

Could Chi Wansui do it?

Could Ouyang Huan do it?

The elders all shook their heads. After all, Beigong Lan’s tragic defeat was still fresh in their minds. She had extinguished all their hope.

Seeing that the Third Royal Prince’s palm was about to hit Huang Yanchen and Beigong Lan, everyone closed their eyes. They knew that the Third Royal Prince didn’t dare to kill anyone purposely, but he would disable these two talented girls.

Kaboom!

A resounding boom came from the peak of Scroll Mountain. All the Monks were shocked and they looked up.

What had happened? How could two such powerful gusts of energy collide?

Then they saw a burst of Blood Qi crash against a burst of Sword Qi. They formed two hedging arcs. Enormous power surged to the left and right.

Boom!

With another explosion, the Blood Qi and Sword Qi quickly separated.

The Blood Qi flew backwards. It re-solidified into the Third Royal Prince, who landed 40 steps below where he’d been. He yelped in shock. Clearly, he hadn’t expected anyone to be able to force him back.

The Sword Qi retreated like a tide. After all the sword images faded, Zhang Ruochen was revealed.

Zhang Ruochen stood at the top of the mountain. His robe fluttered lightly. He grasped the Void Sword with one hand; his other hand was behind his back, making him seem poised. “Even if she stood before you, blocking you, you still can’t punish her,” he said. “Do you believe me?”

Sweat beaded on Huang Yanchen’s forehead. She exhaled deeply.

Then she looked over at Zhang Ruochen. Her gaze was both grateful and extremely moved. “You’re still heavily injured. Why do you still like to force yourself?”

Zhang Ruochen’s face was slightly pale, but he still smiled and shook his head. “It’s okay,” he uttered calmly.

Beigong Lan stared hard at Zhang Ruochen. No one knew better than her how powerful the Third Royal Prince was with the Hundred Saint Blood Armor.

And yet this heavily injured man had forced the Vampire prince back. It was unbelievable. She hadn’t noticed just how powerful he was before.

“You two go back. Leave this to me,” Zhang Ruochen said extremely calmly.

Huang Yanchen and Beigong Lan retreated to the first and second King Seats.

Lin Yue had forced the Third Royal Prince back. Not only had his abilities floored the young Monks below the mountain, he’d also shocked the young talents in the Talent, Conquer, King, and Heir Seats.

No one had imagined that the monstrous Third Royal Prince could be driven back.

“Is Lin Yue really this powerful?”

The three heirs of the Eastern Region Saint Mansion completely went slack. Earlier, they’d all thought that Huang Yanchen would be disabled. They’d been secretly happy because they’d finally lose a competitor.

But the one-sided situation had suddenly been overturned.

On the other hand, the disciples of the Yin and Yang Sect were all ecstatic.

“At critical times, you still have to rely on Senior Brother Apprentice Lin Yue to drive back strong enemies.”

“Senior Brother Apprentice Lin Yue is undefeatable. He can destroy everything with his sword.”

The junior sister apprentices all worshipped Lin Yue, imagining him as their husband. All their eyes shone brilliantly.
