Ao Xin Yan broke away from the Red Desire Star Envoy’s control and took two steps back, standing behind Zhang Ruochen.
After two days of recuperation, Ao Xin Yan’s external injuries, had healed. However, a large portion of the meridians in her entire body were broken, and her internal organs were severely traumatised.
Therefore, Ao Xin Yan still looked sickly, unable to operate her true qi, her whole body was weak, her feet were weak, and if it wasn’t for Xiao Hei telling her that the Dragon Pearl in Zhang Ruochen’s body was able to help her recover from her injuries, it would have been impossible for her to hold on until now.
The fear on the Red Desire Star Envoy’s face gradually disappeared, and in its place, a wintry smile appeared.
“Wow!”
Suddenly, a layer of golden light, from her brow, emanated out, down her neck, and surged towards her arm.
The Red Desire Star Envoy’s wrist, turned as if it had turned into a spiritual snake, slipping out from between Zhang Ruochen’s two fingers.
“Swish!”
With a flash of his body, the Red Desire Star Envoy split into eight, transforming into eight delicate phantoms that hurriedly vanished into the distance.
Zhang Ruochen let out a light eep, using his spiritual power to determine the Red Lust Star Envoy’s true body from amongst the eight silhouettes. He took a step forward and hurriedly chased after it.
In the blink of an eye, Zhang Ruochen chased after the Red Lust Star Envoy’s left side, mobilised his True Qi, transported it to his arm, and struck out a palm, striking at the Red Lust Star Envoy’s left shoulder.
“Boom!”
The powerful palm force, transmitted over, struck the Red Lust Star Envoy’s body.
However, Zhang Ruochen did not have the feeling of hitting a physical object, so he bent his five fingers and clawed forward, but only grabbed a thin layer of red veil.
On top of the red veil, a faint and charming body fragrance lingered.
The Red Desire Star Envoy had long since swept tens of feet away, still wearing a thin layer of red veil, as if the clothes that Zhang Ruochen had just grabbed off were not hers at all.
Only after reaching the nine glazed knights did the Red Desire Star Envoy exhale a long breath and stop in her tracks.
Her glistening white forehead was full of beads of sweat, still somewhat palpitating.
It was only until this moment that the Red Desire Star Envoy truly discovered how terrifying Zhang Ruochen was.
He was completely different from those other Heaven’s Pride children, those other Heaven’s Pride children, even though they were able to defeat her, not many of them had the patience to kill her.
However, Zhang Ruochen had no pity for her, and that palm just now, if it had really struck her body, even if she didn’t die, she would definitely suffer serious injuries.
Zhang Ruochen grabbed the long piece of red veil in his hand, put it to the tip of his nose, sniffed it, and said, “Is that the Golden Silkworm Clothes you’re wearing?”
The Red Desire Star Envoy squeezed out a smile and said, “That’s right, what I’m wearing is precisely the Red Veil Golden Silkworm Cloth. Zhang Ruochen, do you want to come and count how many layers I am wearing?”
The Golden Silkworm was a Saint-level savage beast.
The silk of the Golden Silkworm was known as the slimmest silk thread in the world, allowing it to be woven into the lightest and thinnest clothes. Moreover, the Golden Silkworm Clothes also possessed some special powers, and their defensive power was quite astonishing.
The legendary body martial skill, Golden Silkworm Shelling, would require a martial artist wearing the Golden Silkworm Clothes in order to successfully cultivate it.
Just now, the Red Desire Star Envoy had performed the Golden Silkworm Shell Removal, and thus, was able to escape from Zhang Ruochen’s hands.
“In that case, I’ll count it.”
One of Zhang Ruochen’s pinky fingers, pointed out, transforming his True Qi into sword waves.
The sword wave, with a swoosh, flew out from the tip of his finger.
The nine Liuli Knights had long since placed their nine star formation flags and stuck them on the ground, forming a nine-pointed star like formation. Each formation flag was like a bright star, radiating eye-catching light.
The Red Desire Star Envoy’s figure flashed and stood at the centre of the formation.
At the same time, the Red Desire Star Envoy released her martial soul, which hovered above her head, and began to mobilise the true qi in the formation.
Instantly, a channel of true qi, converged towards her and was added to her body.
The Red Desire Star Envoy’s martial soul was already very powerful, comparable to the strength of a Fish Dragon Fourth Transformation cultivator. Under the augmentation of the Nine Star Formation, the aura on her body continued to climb, and when she raised her hands and threw her feet, the entire aura between heaven and earth shook.
With her palm, she struck forward, and a palm force flew out from her palm, transforming into a three-metre-long large handprint that dispersed the sword wave attacked by Zhang Ruochen.
Under an invisible force holding him up, the Red Desire Star Envoy’s feet left the ground and stood in mid-air as he said, “The Nine Star Formation can bring together the power of the nine Liuli Knights, all of them, into my body, even if you are strong, it is impossible for you to injure me.”
To be able to be chosen as Liuli Knights, those nine people, naturally, were all first-rate experts in the Heavenly Extremity Realm Great Circle. Together, their power was quite terrifying.
The power that the Red Desire Star Envoy had just erupted was a few points more powerful than Zhang Ruochen’s current power at full strength.
If Zhang Ruochen had used the Spatial Collapse, he would have been able to break the formation and kill the Red Desire Star Envoy and the nine Liuli Knights.
However, Zhang Ruochen could vaguely sense that not far away, there seemed to be a familiar and powerful aura hidden.
There must still be experts, hiding in the shadows.
If he went all out to deal with the Red Desire Star Envoy and the nine Glazed Knights, then the one expert hiding in the dark would definitely take the opportunity to make a sneak attack.
At that time, wouldn’t he be taken advantage of?
Zhang Ruochen glanced in Xiao Hei’s direction, and at this moment, the other eight Glazed Knights, surrounded Xiao Hei and the Orange Moon Star Envoy in the centre.
It was only because Xiao Hei had taken control of the Orange Moon Star Envoy that those eight glazed knights, didn’t dare to act rashly.
“The group of people hidden in the shadows should be the experts sent out by Pei Ji and the three great Saint Sectors. The biggest threat to me is Pei Ji, I must get rid of him first.”Zhang Ruochen’s mind thought so.
Just as Zhang Ruochen made up his mind, the Red Desire Star Envoy’s voice came into his ears, “Zhang Ruochen, you should also know that there is still a group of experts hidden in the shadows, if we continue to fight, we will only be cheapening them.”
Zhang Ruochen glanced towards the Red Desire Star Envoy, but realised that her lips did not move at all, and it was obvious that she had used some sort of secret technique to quietly transmit her voice, into his ears.
Immediately after, the Red Desire Star Envoy added, “In fact, there is absolutely no need for us to be enemies, and even, we can still be allies. How about you let me go and the Orange Moon Star Envoy will be yours?”
Between the Seven Deadly Star Envoys, they were also in competition with each other.
If, for example, the Orange Moon Star Envoy died in Zhang Ruochen’s hands, it would only be beneficial to the Red Desire Star Envoy, without any harm.
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes narrowed as he gently nodded, considered to have reached a consensus of co-operation with the Red Lust Star Envoy.
Seeing Zhang Ruochen’s nod, the Red Lust Star Envoy’s heart revealed joy as he immediately ordered, saying, “Zhang Ruochen’s strength is strong, let’s retreat first.”
The nine Glazed Knights immediately began to move quickly as the Nine Star Formation kept rotating, carrying the Red Lust Star Envoy and withdrawing to the distance in an organised manner.
The Orange Moon Star Envoy was first stunned, and then, her face, turned a little pale as she said, “Red Desire Star Envoy, you’re leaving alone?”
Red Desire Star Envoy said, “Zhang Ruochen’s cultivation has greatly advanced, and it’s impossible to suppress him with just a Nine Star Formation. If we force a battle with him, in the end, both of us will be trapped here. Since this is the case, I can only leave first, and when I return, I will definitely lead the experts to rescue you.”
A few moments later, the Red Desire Star Envoy and the nine Liuli Knights disappeared into thin air.
The Orange Moon Star Envoy knew that what the Red Lust Star Envoy had said was the truth, although, in her heart, she was still annoyed, but she could not blame the Red Lust Star Envoy.
If she hadn’t been too negligent and careless, she had been restrained by Zhang Ruochen’s Savage Beast Battle Favour and was unable to exert her power. Then, with the power of the two Nine Star Formations, even if Zhang Ruochen was strong, he would still be suppressed.
After the Red Desire Star Envoy left, Zhang Ruochen walked over to the Orange Moon Star Envoy, “Orange Moon Star Envoy, this is the second time you have fallen into my hands. Last time, someone saved you and I let you live. This time, I won’t let you go!”
The Orange Moon Star Envoy snorted coldly and said, “Zhang Ruochen, do you dare to let that one savage beast let go of me first, and let’s fight squarely?”
Zhang Ruochen shook his head and said, “I came to the Wood Essence Market Realm because I have important things to do, I don’t have time, to waste on you. Little Black, kill her, we should be on our way!”
The reason why Zhang Ruochen was willing to let the Red Desire Star Envoy go was both because of the situation and partly because, the Red Desire Star Envoy had ambitions.
The Red Lust Star Envoy wanted to be the Young Master of the Black Market One Piece Hall.
It was because of this that Zhang Ruochen happened to co-operate with her against Emperor Yi.
However, the Orange Moon Star Envoy was different. She was absolutely obedient to Emperor Yi’s orders, and had tried to put Zhang Ruochen to death three times, so if she were to stay alive, in the future, she would still be a great assistant to Emperor Yi.
Therefore, Zhang Ruochen could let the Red Desire Star Envoy go, but he wanted to get rid of the Orange Moon Star Envoy.
