Zhang Ruochen took out a drop of the Dragon Emperor's blood, swallowed it into his mouth, and then began to refine it with all his strength, using the huge power contained in the Dragon Emperor's blood to restore the consumed holy energy.
The blood of the Dragon Emperor enters the body like a ball of fire, releasing a large amount of holy energy to make up for the consumption in the sea of qi and meridians.
Tun Xiangtu asked: "Master Chen, how long will it take for your cultivation to fully recover?"
"Even if you swallow the Dragon Emperor's blood, it should take three hours."
With his current level of cultivation, it is indeed too risky to use Thousand Lines of Destruction Power. Once the holy energy is exhausted, he will not be able to recover for a while.
Zhang Ruochen's eyes were fixed on the two groups of people fighting each other. At every moment, a large number of soldiers fell into a pool of blood, unable to stand up again.
Immediately, he changed the topic and said: "Perhaps, there is another way to recover cultivation faster." Zhang Ruochen's finger touched the space ring lightly.
There was a flash of light on the ring, and a pill emitting a faint white light appeared in the palm of Zhang Ruochen's hand.
It was the Sheng Yuan Dan that he bought from Ling Feiyu.
All along, Zhang Ruochen wanted to wait for a suitable time to adjust himself to the best condition, and then take the Sheng Yuan Dan to reach the second level of semi-saint in one fell swoop.
Taking Sheng Yuan Dan now is obviously not a good time.
However, the battle between the undead vampires and the soldiers of the Shi family was turned upside down, and no one knew how the next battle would unfold.
Therefore, Zhang Ruochen must restore his cultivation as soon as possible to deal with the unpredictable variables that will follow.
If he could borrow the Saint Yuan Pill to reach the second-level semi-saint level in one fell swoop, then the moment he broke through the realm, Zhang Ruochen would be able to absorb a large amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth and return to his peak state.
Moreover, after the realm is broken through, he will be even more powerful.
Although this move is quite risky, it is still worth the effort.
"Human boy, you ruined His Highness the Second Prince's important matter. Today, I am going to take it down with my own hands."
An undead vampire general, wearing metal armor and holding a blade engraved with a skull mark, rushed towards Zhang Ruochen.
This man's cultivation reached the third level of Half-Saint. He wanted to take advantage of Zhang Ruochen's weak state to capture him and send him to the second prince to claim credit.
Zhang Ruochen raised his head, glanced at the immortal vampire general, and shouted softly: "Nine-cut electric knife."
Huge spiritual power is concentrated in the palm of Zhang Ruochen's right hand.
In an instant, thousands of purple electric patterns appeared within a hundred feet radius.
As Zhang Ruochen swung out his palm, the electric patterns gathered into nine blades and flew out one after another, knocking the undead vampire general back several dozen feet.
The general of the Immortal Vampire Clan only felt pain and numbness in his arms. A look of shock appeared on his face and he said: "With your cultivation level, you have unleashed a strike of thousands of lines of destructive power. How can you still have the strength to fight back?"
Zhang Ruochen withdrew his mental power and said, "Even if all the holy energy in my body has been exhausted, it will be easy to deal with you."
"Arrogant."
The undead vampire general made a strange sound wave from his mouth.
"Swish."
A moment later, two other second-level semi-saint realm immortal vampire generals, leading two groups of immortal vampire monks from the fish and dragon realm, immediately flew over and surrounded Zhang Ruochen.
"Human boy, do you still dare to be so arrogant now?" The immortal vampire general at the third level of semi-saint realm sneered.
All the immortal vampire monks stood according to a strange rule, formed a combined attack formation, and surrounded Zhang Ruochen.
"Master Chen, let me take care of them."
The Tunxiang Rabbit has long been impatient. In its eyes, it is not the three semi-saints of the undead vampires standing in front, but three groups of semi-saints' light, floating in front of it.
Boom!
Zhang Ruochen knocked Tun Xiangtu on the head to wake it up, and said: "Your mission is to protect me. As long as my cultivation level is restored to its peak state, your semi-holy light will be indispensable."
Later, Zhang Ruochen released the demon ape from the Qiankun Divine Tree and said: "Demon ape, go and take care of them all."
Just when the demon ape was released, Zhang Ruochen took the Sheng Yuan Pill, ran the exercises in the "Nine Heavens Ming Emperor Sutra", and started practicing with all his strength.
"Ouch."
The Demon Ape's cultivation level has reached the fourth level of Semi-Saint. Its body is more than a hundred meters tall, and every long hair is like a metal needle.
The demon ape stepped on the ground, and a circle of black demonic energy surged out in all directions, flying away all the soil and stones on the ground.
The combined attack formation arranged by the undead vampires collapsed in an instant. Except for the three semi-holy generals, the rest of the undead vampires all vomited blood and suffered heavy losses.
"What a powerful beast. General, I'm here to meet you for a while."
The undead vampire general who was in the third-level semi-saint realm turned into a streak of blood, rose into the sky, slashed diagonally with his sword, and slashed towards the demon ape's neck.
"Bang." The blade of a holy weapon struck the demon ape's neck, but it only made a half-foot-deep wound, unable to penetrate any further.
"How come the defense is so strong?"
The expression of the undead vampire general changed. He immediately retracted the blade and concentrated the holy energy again. Just when he was about to strike the second blow, the demon ape's big hand grabbed his body first.
Five fingers as thick as pillars suddenly pinched hard, and then there was a "snap" sound of bone exploding.
The undead vampire general's bones were broken into pieces and turned into a ball of soft flesh, with even his eyeballs protruding. He died quite miserably.
The demon ape collected the semi-holy light from the meat and threw it into his mouth.
Then, its pair of copper bell-sized eyes stared at the other two undead vampire generals, and let out a loud roar.
The Demonic Ape's defensive power and physical strength are both quite powerful. A human monk at the fourth level of semi-saint realm was able to frighten two undead vampire generals.
"Walk."
They did not dare to fight the demon ape, so they immediately spread their wings and fled from here. Catching Zhang Ruochen was indeed a great achievement, but they did not have to lose their lives for it.
The demon ape kicked off his feet and rushed after them, wanting to kill them and seize the semi-holy light.
Tunxiangtu wants to swallow the light of a semi-saint and attack the fifth-level semi-saint, so why doesn't the Demon Ape not want to?
"Chasing so fast."
The two immortal vampire generals each took out a roll of imperial edicts and rushed behind the second prince with a speed that only a saint could achieve.
"Your Highness, the Second Prince, the giant ape raised by that human boy is very powerful, and these two subordinates are no match for it." One of the immortal vampire generals said with shame.
Another immortal vampire general looked quite anxious, with cold sweat on his forehead, and said: "Please take action, Your Highness, the Second Prince, to suppress it."
The second prince looked calm and composed, and glanced at them coldly, "Look at what little potential you have."
Then, he added: "Leave this place to me, the prince. You two go to deal with other enemies. You must drag the soldiers of the Ancient Suppression Clan back to Golden Bird City."
After the second prince gave the order, he spread out a pair of silver flesh wings and flew in the direction of the demon ape.
The demon ape felt the powerful aura of the second prince of the undead blood clan, and immediately waved his arms and struck several times on his chest.
Its originally huge body actually grew a lot taller, as if it had transformed into a towering black mountain.
A fist containing evil spirit fell from above and hit the second prince who was flying rapidly.
"哓哓, don't overestimate your own abilities."
The second prince pressed his palm forward.
Suddenly, a huge bloody handprint condensed in front of the palm print, and collided with the demon ape's fist.
There was a "bang" sound.
The demon ape suffered the impact of the palm force, and its huge body shook suddenly, and continued to retreat backwards.
"It is actually able to block this prince's palm. It is indeed stronger than the average sixth-order savage beast."
The second prince gathered his strength again and made a second palm seal.
This time, the palm force was even stronger, and even his palm burst into flames, turning into a five-fingered fire cloud.
"Uh-huh."
At this moment, Zhang Ruochen flew up from the back of Tun Xiangtu, landed on the left shoulder of the Demon Ape, and shot out a black pill with a flick of his finger.
Below, the second prince's face changed slightly when he saw the black elixir. He immediately retracted his palms, kicked his legs on the ground, and rushed backwards for more than ten miles.
"Bang." The black elixir exploded, releasing a cloud of evil energy of death and corroding the soil on the ground into black.
"Hurry up and leave this place." Zhang Ruochen said to the demon ape.
"That's right! You are no match for him. The second prince of the immortal vampire clan is quite powerful. Even if we join forces, we probably won't be defeated miserably." Tuxiangtu stood on the right shoulder of the demon ape and said nervously.
Two tubes of white gas surged out of the demon ape's nostrils. Then, he turned around, took huge steps, and rushed out into the endless mountain forest.
The second prince glanced at the evil energy of death on the ground and wondered, "How did Zhang Ruochen get the evil energy of death? Moreover, he doesn't seem to be afraid of the evil energy of death at all."
Although the second prince was quite afraid of the evil spirit of death, he knew very well that he could not let Zhang Ruochen escape no matter what.
Zhang Ruochen must be quite weak now, so this is the best time to seize the Taotian Sword.
The second prince spread his wings, flapped them, stirred up a fierce wind, and chased after him.
Zhang Ruochen stood on the shoulders of the demon ape and devoted half of his energy to refining the Saint Yuan Dan to reach the second-level semi-saint realm.
Divide the other half of your energy and always pay attention to the direction behind you. No one knows when the second prince of the undead vampire clan will chase him?
At this moment, Zhang Ruochen had refined more than half of the Holy Yuan Dan, and the holy energy in his body had recovered by about 50%.
The Dragon Emperor's blood also burned crazily in the meridians and holy veins, transforming into holy energy and blood energy, making Zhang Ruochen's whole body full of strength.
"We must rush to the second-level semi-saint realm before the second prince of the undead blood clan catches up."
Zhang Ruochen roared deep in his heart, his muscles tightened, and the holy energy in his body moved faster and faster.
"Zhang Ruochen, you are the sword holder of the Monstrous Sword and the descendant of the Xuanji Sword Saint. How come you only know how to escape, but you have the ability to fight with this prince to see whose swordsmanship is better?"
The second prince's voice came from the horizon, with a hint of teasing and sarcasm.
Immediately afterwards, a bloody sword cut through the sky, penetrated the clouds, and chopped off the legs of the running demon ape.
Zhang Ruochen is not an impulsive person, but at this moment he had to take action.
"Shen Yuan."
Zhang Ruochen's body surged with a sword power that was as powerful as a sword master. He controlled Shen Yuan's ancient sword and intercepted the flying blood sword.
"Bang!"
The two holy swords collided fiercely, and immediately, two chaotic waves of sword energy flew out in all directions.
The blood sword played by the second prince was obviously not an ordinary sacred weapon with hundreds of patterns. The powerful force it unleashed actually knocked Shen Yuan's ancient sword away.
The blood sword continued to fall, slashing at the demon ape's right leg. With a "pop" sound, two-thirds of the thigh was cut off, and blood poured out from the wound like a shot.
Because the leg was severely injured, the demon ape's center of gravity was unbalanced, and he fell forward, knocking a large mountain down and making a loud "rumbling" sound. Then, the huge body fell to the ground.
