Chapter 1626: A Book Smashes an Ancient Saint to Death

"Attack..."

Just as he was wondering, he heard Qi Zhen beside him let out a loud shout, and together with Mo Qin, they both stood up and flew straight toward Wuchen in the sky.

"Hmph!"

Raising an eyebrow, Wuchen pressed his palm downward fiercely.

Crack!

Space solidified. Before Qi Zhen and Mo Qin could react, they were struck in the chest, spat blood, and flew back, crashing heavily to the ground.

Although they were both powerful experts at the Second Layer of Great Saint, compared to Wuchen, they were far too weak and could not withstand him.

Swish!

With a single palm strike that sent the two elders flying, Wuchen, as if not seeing Zhang Xuan and Luo Ruoxi, suddenly grabbed toward the back of the palace. Space collapsed, and buildings were destroyed.

Woo woo woo!

Just then, a writing brush flew out from the ruined building and pointed into the air, followed by a "ding-dong!" sound. Ripples appeared in the space from the sound, surging upward.

"It's those four alien spirit clansmen..." Zhang Xuan's pupils contracted.

He was very familiar with this attack method; it was exactly what he had seen from those four people at the remains of Ancient Saint Ranqiu.

Unexpectedly, they had appeared here.

It seemed that after leaving them, this Wuchen had used some method to find their trail and had pursued them all the way here.

"Move to rescue..."

Raising an eyebrow, Zhang Xuan grabbed at his waist, and the Dragon Bone Divine Spear immediately flew out, stabbing straight toward the writing brush in the air.

Ding ding ding ding!

After several consecutive clashes, Zhang Xuan retreated several steps, his face turning pale.

Without igniting the blood of Confucius, relying solely on the Dragon Bone Divine Spear, he could not withstand it.

Swish!

As he retreated, a sound rang out. The fair-skinned youth he had seen before suddenly rushed out from his hiding place, flipped his wrist, and a long sword appeared in his palm. Using the sound wave and the attack of the writing brush, he stabbed straight at Wuchen.

Sword aura crisscrossed. In an instant, it felt blinding, as if only a single long sword existed in heaven and earth. The air whimpered, and dark cracks appeared around.

This fair-skinned youth had used his full strength from the start, feeling even stronger than when they were at the remains of Ancient Saint Ranqiu.

He was strong, but Wuchen was even stronger!

"Hmph!"

With a cold snort, his eyes narrowed. Wuchen was not flustered; he pressed his palm down again.

The cracks visibly repaired. The fair-skinned youth, holding the long sword and appearing invincible, immediately froze in midair, unable to advance for a moment.

"Impressive skill!"

Zhang Xuan couldn't help but admire.

He had been terrified just now, but he hadn't expected Wuchen to be so powerful.

Even if he had ignited the blood of Confucius, encountering the fair-skinned youth's move, he probably wouldn't have handled it better.

Whoosh!

Just as he finished shouting, there was another rumble from below. Several figures shot straight upward. As soon as these people appeared, a killing aura emerged, giving a feeling of falling into a battlefield.

"Alien spirit clansmen!"

His pupils contracted, and Zhang Xuan immediately understood that these were all alien spirit clansmen.

Unexpectedly, so many had appeared at once, and without any disguise.

"This is the Diviner Guild, which can conceal not only aura but also fate. Naturally, there is no need for disguise..."

In the blink of an eye, he understood.

Previously at the remains of Ancient Saint Ranqiu, they had to disguise themselves because there were formations and items left by the ancient saint that could suppress them. But here, at the Diviner Guild, disguise was meaningless.

"Blood of Confucius!"

Knowing that if he delayed any longer, Wuchen would likely be killed, Zhang Xuan no longer hesitated. With a cold snort, he directly ignited the last drop of Confucius's blood.

Although this item was meant for saving his life, in the current situation, if he didn't act, not only would Wuchen die, but he and Luo Ruoxi would probably not survive either.

Rumble!

As soon as the blood of Confucius was activated, the power within him surged to its peak in an instant. Zhang Xuan, holding the Dragon Bone Divine Spear, stepped forward and appeared before an alien spirit clansman.

"Die!"

Without any hesitation, the spear shot through the air.

Last time, due to soft-heartedness, he had let these four escape. This time, he would not allow such a thing to happen.

"Roar!"

Unexpectedly facing such a powerful expert, this alien spirit clansman, no longer caring about attacking Wuchen, turned abruptly. A surge of malevolent energy crashed straight toward him. At the same time, its claw raised and slammed down at Zhang Xuan.

Puchi!

However, with Zhang Xuan's strength, how could he let it succeed?

With one spear thrust, he pierced through its palm, and the next moment, through its heart.

He twisted the spear fiercely.

Bang!

In an instant, this alien spirit clansman exploded directly, turning into a mass of flesh.

A super expert at the Fourth Layer of Great Saint, the Immortal Realm, was killed on the spot.

"Roar!" "Roar!" "Roar!"

Seeing their companion die instantly, the remaining alien spirit clansmen seemed somewhat shocked and all charged over together.

"Hmph!"

His eyes narrowed, Zhang Xuan swung his spear, transforming it into a divine dragon, and charged at one of them.

At the same time, he formed a sword with his fingers and pointed forward lightly.

"Freeze!"

Swish!

The surrounding space immediately sealed up, as if freezing.

The alien spirit clansman who had just charged, not expecting such formidable combat power from this opponent, wanted to flee but it was too late. Trapped by the sealed space, it could no longer move.

Crack!

A spear pierced through its head, and the corpse fell straight down.

After killing two alien spirit clansmen in succession, Wuchen's pressure eased. He slapped away the fair-skinned youth's long sword with one palm, broke the qin strings with another, and then grabbed in the air.

Hum!

A complete sternum and ribs flew up.

This sternum was crystal clear, like jade, and had lost its killing aura, instead giving off a sage-like aura.

"Master, it's mine..."

The Cruel One called out urgently.

"Excellent..."

Seeing that the skeleton was indeed here and, under the suppression of Kui Sheng's statue, had become like this, Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up. Without further hesitation, he flicked his wrist.

The Book of Heaven's Path immediately flew toward the skeleton.

Whoosh!

It sealed it inside.

Previously, the skull and finger bones had their own independent consciousness, making sealing troublesome. But now, the sternum and ribs, refined by Kui Sheng through the Saint Son Hall to have no impurities, were very easy to collect.

In one go, it appeared in the Book of Heaven's Path.

Wuchen was stunned.

"Haha, I'm about to break through. Master, I'll go into slumber now. You... be careful..."

Whoosh!

Then the Cruel One's consciousness disappeared.

Presumably, as before, after finding the skeleton and devouring it, its consciousness fell into slumber.

"It seems that when it wakes, its strength will definitely break through to Great Saint..."

Seeing such a complete skeleton absorbed, Zhang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. He pierced another alien spirit clansman with his spear and was about to kill the last one when suddenly he felt a powerful aura shooting straight into the sky.

This power seemed to overturn heaven and earth, giving a feeling of tearing the sky apart.

"Could it be... an Ancient Saint?"

Zhang Xuan's pupils contracted.

Even with the blood of Confucius ignited, he had an aura invincible below the Ancient Saint realm, but under this power, he still felt as weak as a mosquito. No need to think; he knew how powerful the owner of this aura must be!

Probably only the legendary Ancient Saints could possess such power!

He quickly looked toward the direction it came from and saw a tall alien spirit clansman grabbing straight at Luo Ruoxi.

"Ruoxi, watch out..."

His pupils shrank, and Zhang Xuan let out a furious roar.

If struck, she would surely die!

The Diviner Guild actually harbored an Ancient Saint... and an alien spirit clansman at that. What were they doing?

Damn it!

"Die!"

With a loud shout, he could no longer hold back.

Whoosh!

A book flew straight out from between his eyebrows.

Thud!

It smashed directly onto the head of this alien spirit clansman.

Roar?

Splat!

With a look of astonishment, this suspected Ancient Saint alien spirit clansman, without any chance to resist, fell stiffly to the ground and stopped breathing.

Until the moment of death, it couldn't understand how it, with such formidable strength, had been smashed to death by "a book."
