Knocking Zi Yin Yang back, Zhang Ruochen immediately channelled his true qi into his feet and stomped on them with force, his body leaping backwards and landing on top of the more than ten feet high spectator seat, occupying the high ground.
In this way, no matter what way Zi Yin Yang attacked, he would be able to respond with a move in advance.
Zhang Ruochen’s gaze glanced towards the middle of the Martial Market’s fighting arena, only to see that the martial artists from various forces were in the midst of fighting, and there were already dozens of corpses.
The vast majority of them were the corpses of the evil martial practitioners from the Black Market and the Moon Worshipping Demon Cult, and amongst them, there were also tragically dead trainees from the Martial Market Palace and disciples from the Yuntai Sect Mansion, who fell in a pool of blood and let out low cries of grief.
The Black Market and the Moon Worshipping Demon Cult were well-prepared and had already set up a trap, so even though the trainees of the Martial City Academic Palace and the disciples of the Yuntai Sect Mansion were all experts, they still suffered heavy losses.
With a sweep of his eyes, Zhang Ruochen saw that the Nine County Lords were being surrounded by seven Evil Dao martial practitioners, and the situation was very critical.
Those seven Evil Dao martial artists were all experts, and under their joint attacks, they had already left three wounds on the Nine County Lord’s body, and blood stained her robes red.
“Swish!”
Zhang Ruochen erupted his fastest speed, reaching one hundred and forty metres per second as he swooped down and blocked in front of the Nine County Lord.
“Dragon Image Shadow!”
A palm slapped out, striking out countless palm shadows.
True Qi surged out, forming a dragon shadow and an elephant shadow that flickered in the void.
“Ka ka ka!”
The sound of bones shattering rang out.
The seven Evil Dao martial practitioners screamed in a continuous stream, spitting blood from their mouths as they simultaneously flew backwards and landed more than ten metres away, all fainting to death.
The Ninth Sheriff Lord finally let out a sigh of relief and said, “Ninth Brother, what now?”
“Don’t worry, after such a big incident, the King City’s army will definitely arrive as fast as they can. The evil martial artists from the Black Market and the Moon Worshipping Demon Sect will soon retreat.” Zhang Ruochen said.
The Nine County Lord pursed her lips, looking at the Evil Dao martial practitioners whose attacks were becoming more and more ferocious, feeling that she wouldn’t be able to last long enough for the King City’s army to arrive.
Zhang Ruochen took out the pair of battle maps that Luo Shuihan had given him and slipped them to the Ninth County Lord, saying, “By injecting your true qi into the battle maps, you can awaken the Leopard Headed Blood Bat in the battle maps, which will be enough to help you block the attacks of the average early Earth Extremity Realm martial artists.”
After thinking about it, Zhang Ruochen was still uneasy and took out a Wind Wings and handed it to the Nine County Lord.
“Zhang Ruochen, your opponent is me, today, this Young Lord will take your head.”
The true qi in Zi Yin Yang’s body was thick and contained a huge amount of energy as he slayed three trainees of the Martial City Academy in a row and rushed out from the crowd, cupping a bloody fish gut sword in his hand as he stabbed at Zhang Ruochen’s throat.
Zhang Ruochen struck the Nine County Lord’s chest with a palm strike, and a palm wind pushed the Nine County Lord tens of metres away.
“Royal Wind Flying Dragon Shadow!”
Zhang Ruochen’s body split into nine, transforming into nine shadows.
Violet Yin Yang also immediately changed her sword stance, her arms swinging ceaselessly, presenting dozens of sword shadows.
Each sword almost chopped past Zhang Ruochen’s body, and if Zhang Ruochen had not cultivated the Royal Wind Flying Dragon Shadow to a great extent, I’m afraid that his body would have been chopped into dozens of pieces by Purple Yin Yang.
“Senior Brother Zhang, I’ll come to help you.”
Chang Qi Qi let out a long whistle, raised his sword with both hands, and slashed down towards Purple Yin Yang.
Chang Qi Qi’s martial cultivation had reached the Earth Extremity Realm Grand Extremity Position, and being a Second Extremity Genius, he was considered a first-rate powerhouse under the Heavenly Extremity Realm, and ordinary Earth Extremity Realm Grand Circle martial practitioners weren’t his opponents.
Slashing out with his full strength, even Purple Yin Yang had to avoid his blade, quickly taking a step backwards to avoid the blade.
“Boom!”
Chang Qi Qi’s blade slashed on the ground, leaving a long blade mark on the ground. Around the blade mark, a fine line cracked out.
“Nosy.”
Zi Yin Yang’s eyes sank as he stabbed out with his sword.
“Shocking Stance.”
The Fishgut Sword, spun rapidly, emitting an ear-piercing sword sound.
“Pfft!”
Although Chang Qi Qi’s martial arts cultivation was extremely high, he was unable to avoid that sword of Zi Yin Yang, his body was pierced through by the Fishgut Sword, and the blade pierced through his back.
“Err ……”
Chang Qi Qi’s body trembled in pain, and blood kept dripping from the corner of his mouth.
Purple Yin Yang’s attainments in swordplay were higher than those in swordplay, and even with Chang Qi Qi’s cultivation, it was difficult for him to block his sword.
“Senior Brother Chang!”
Zhang Ruochen shouted and immediately rushed over, his index and middle fingers pinched into a sword technique and pointed a finger at Zi Yin Yang’s right arm.
“Good timing, just in time to send you on your way together.”
Purple Yin Yang pulled his sword out, along with a trail of blood. A cold aura, gushing out from his hand, formed a layer of icy blood crystals on the blade of the sword.
In Zi Yin Yang’s opinion, although Zhang Ruochen’s martial arts cultivation was not as good as Chang Qi Qi, but in terms of body speed and the use of moves, Zhang Ruochen was many times superior to Chang Qi Qi.
Therefore, in comparison, he paid more attention to Zhang Ruochen and didn’t dare to take it lightly.
When Zhang Ruochen rushed to a distance of only five steps away from Zi Yin Yang, Zi Yin Yang immediately struck out, his movement was as fast as lightning, and stabbed his sword towards Zhang Ruochen’s brow.
As a top assassin, Zi Yin Yang knew how to seize the moment.
If you don’t use your sword, once you use your sword, you will kill your enemy with one strike.
This sword would definitely take Zhang Ruochen’s life!
Just when Zi Yin Yang stabbed his sword in front of Zhang Ruochen, suddenly, space slightly distorted and the tip of the sword stabbed past Zhang Ruochen’s left cheek.
“Damn!”
Zi Yin Yang’s face changed slightly and he was about to change his sword stance, but Zhang Ruochen pointed a finger at his chest first.
With Zhang Ruochen’s current strength, the force of one finger was enough to pierce through a half-metre thick pig iron.
“Boom!”
The armour on Zi Yin Yang’s body emitted a red glow. Zhang Ruochen’s finger, striking on top of the armour, made a loud bang and formed a circle of energy ripples.
“It actually blocked it?”
Zhang Ruochen didn’t want to give Purple Yin Yang a chance to slow down his breath, his entire body’s true qi surged wildly in his 36 meridians, turning his finger into a palm, and striking Purple Yin Yang’s chest with a palm strike.
“Boom! Boom! Boom ……”
He struck twelve palms in a row at an extremely fast speed.
With each palm strike, Zi Yin Yang’s body would take a step back.
When Zhang Ruochen struck the last palm, Zi Yin Yang directly flew backwards.
After all, Zi Yin Yang’s cultivation was profound, and he was able to stabilise his body after taking twelve palms from Zhang Ruochen in a row. Landing on the ground, he covered his chest that was aching with pain and spat out a mouthful of blood.
The veins on his body, completely sprung up, his eyes were crimson, and the battle intent on his body became thicker instead, as he said in a cold voice, ”What kind of martial arts skill did you use just now? If it wasn’t for the deflection of the sword blade, right now, you would already be dead.”
Zhang Ruochen stood on the opposite side, a shallow sword mark on his cheek, shedding warm blood.
His heart secretly cried out, just now, he had struck twelve palms with all his might, and even his arms were vaguely aching, yet he was unable to completely defeat Violet Yin Yang.
Worthy of being one of the seven young experts of the Black Market, he was incredibly powerful.
Zi Yin Yang was already on guard, and even if Zhang Ruochen used his spatial power again, it might not still be effective.
Now, how else to battle?
Zhang Ruochen glanced in Chang Qiqi’s direction and realised that Chang Qiqi was only seriously injured and did not die under that sword just now. He was extremely injured, and if he wasn’t treated in time, he would probably die.
“Swish!”
Zhang Ruochen swept over, grabbed Chang Qiqi’s arm, carried him onto his back, and dashed up, through the huge hole at the top of the Martial Market Fighting Arena, landing on top of the Martial Market Fighting Arena.
The Martial Market Fighting Arena was more than eighty metres high, and standing at the top, one could look out over half of the King City.
“With the height of the Martial Market Fighting Arena, coupled with the Royal Wind Flying Dragon Shadow, by the time I landed on the ground, I should be at least ten miles away, which is enough to escape from the blockade area of the Black Market and the Moon Worshipping Demon Sect.”
When the Royal Wind Flying Dragon Shadow was at a small level, Zhang Ruochen was able to span a distance of one mile by taking nine steps.
Now that the Royal Wind Flying Dragon Shadow had reached the Grand Completion, it was naturally even more powerful.
Zhang Ruochen carried Chang Qiqi on his back, and his entire body’s true qi was completely mobilised, surging out from his body to form a wind wave of true qi.
“Ow!”
Zhang Ruochen rushed out, the true qi around his body looked like it was transformed into the shape of a flying dragon, flying rapidly through the void, his feet stepping on the void, and with every step, the shadow of that one dragon was able to cross a distance of hundreds of metres.
Violet Yin Yang also chased after Zhang Ruochen to the top of the Martial Market Fighting Arena and glanced towards Zhang Ruochen in the distance, “What a powerful stance.”
Without any stoppage, Violet Yin Yang stepped on the wall and rushed to the ground, looking at Zhang Ruochen’s direction, he erupted at a speed of one hundred and eighty metres per second and hurriedly chased after him.
“Boom!”
Nine steps later, Zhang Ruochen landed on the ground, his feet crushing the stone slabs, and even his knees did not go into the ground.
With his current position, he was not far from the royal palace.
As long as he escaped into the royal palace, was he still afraid that Zi Yin Yang would kill his way in?
However, just as Zhang Ruochen wanted to rush out, his footsteps came to a hard stop, his eyes staring at the Poison Spider Young Lord, Hua Qingshan, who stood opposite him.
“Haha! I’ve been waiting for you for a long time!”
The Poison Spider Young Lord’s hand cupped a curved sword, and a playful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth as he said, “As expected, you are that so-called Mysterious Genius Chen Ruo. Your Highness the Ninth Prince, you haven’t let me down.”
Zhang Ruochen stood in the centre of the street, his eyes sharp as he said, “I don’t even know what you’re talking about!”
“You know in your heart what I’m talking about.” The Poison Spider Young Lord laughed, “Right now, you only have two paths, the first one is to come with me, and perhaps there is still a chance to live.”
“The second path is to wait for Purple Yin Yang to catch up. At that time, you will definitely die. How to choose, you have to think clearly.”
Zhang Ruochen said, “I never wish to take the path that others choose for me.”
The Poison Spider Young Lord’s face sank as he said, “Then you’ll have no choice but to die.”
At the back, there was a long whistle.
Purple Yin Yang chased after him and flew down to the top of an ancient building behind Zhang Ruochen, carrying a bloody sword, his body standing straight as if he was a life-sapping Shura.
“Hua Qingshan, Zhang Ruochen’s life is mine!” Purple Yin Yang said in a cold voice.
The Poison Spider Young Lord laughed and said, “It’s just a human head, since Brother Zi wants it, I naturally won’t compete with you. However, Zhang Ruochen is very cunning, and although he has only just broken through the Earth Extreme Realm not long ago, his various tactics are indefensible. Brother Zi, you have to be careful!”
The Poison Spider Young Lord flew up and landed on top of one of the tallest buildings not far away, seemingly just watching from the sidelines, but he had a total overview of the situation. No matter which direction Zhang Ruochen escaped from, he would be able to intercept Zhang Ruochen with the fastest speed.
Under the overlooking of the two evil experts, it was almost impossible for Zhang Ruochen to escape.
Moreover, using the Spatial Domain, Zhang Ruochen also sensed that there were at least close to a hundred more Evil Dao martial practitioners ambushed in the hundreds of metres of poles and alleys around him. Sealing him so the path of retreat, completely.
Zhang Ruochen had escaped from the hands of the Poison Spider Young Lord twice, causing the Poison Spider Young Lord to take deeper and deeper precautions against Zhang Ruochen. This time, he was determined to win, not giving Zhang Ruochen any chance to escape.
“He only just broke through the Earth Extreme Realm?”
Zi Yin Yang was a bit unconvinced, after all, the strength that Zhang Ruochen had shown earlier was already stronger than many Earth Extremity Realm Grand Circle martial artists. How could he have only just broken through the Earth Extreme Realm?
The Poison Spider Young Lord laughed, “I sent someone to check his information, at least four months ago, he was still at the Xuan Extremity Realm Great Circle cultivation level.”
“Then today, he must die.”
Violet Yin Yang’s gaze towards Zhang Ruochen became even colder and deeper.
