Duanmu Ya’s hands closed together, hastily mobilising her true qi, transporting it to both palms and striking a seven-metre long huge handprint downwards.
“Break!”
The black-clothed man, Cao Ying, quickly twisted his wrist, and his four-foot-long sword, passed forward, erupting into thirty-six sword shadows, breaking Duanmu Ya’s typed handprint and stabbing at her once again.
Duanmu Ya stretched out two fingers, pinched into a sword trick, and Cao Ying’s sword, collided together, emitting a “bang bang” sound.
With the two of them as the centre, qi energy erupted, forming thousands of sharp sword qi, filling the entire compound.
“Rumble!”
House buildings collapsed one after another, leaving bowl-sized sword holes in the walls, and even the ground, too, was pitted.
Hearing the sounds of battle, the Demon Sect martial practitioners rushed over from all directions, but with their strength, how could they contend against the strongest of the Fish Dragon Realm?
Just as they rushed into the compound, they were struck by the sword Qi flying around, piercing through their bodies and dying on the spot.
Zhang Ruochen silently watched this and gently shook his head.
Fish Dragon Realm experts fighting, and Earth Extreme Realm and Heaven Extreme Realm martial artists dared to approach, they simply didn’t know how to die. Even if he wanted to save people, he couldn’t save that many.
The Demon Cult and the Black Market were fighting each other, and Zhang Ruochen didn’t want to interfere in it at all. After all, coming to the Eastern Region Evil Land, he had to be careful and cautious, and if he was able to refrain from provoking right and wrong, he would try not to do so, so as not to expose his identity.
His goal, just one, was to kill Emperor Yi.
Duanmu Ya landed on the ground somewhat hastily, and the five fingers of his right hand became drenched in blood.
Obviously, in the exchange of blows just now, she had fallen into a disadvantage.
Cao Ying also landed on the ground, holding a longsword as he walked over and snorted coldly, “The chief helmsman of the Devil Sect, is nothing more than that.”
“If I hadn’t been poisoned, how could you two be my opponents.”
Duanmu Ya’s breath, was a little weak, and her arms kept trembling.
Fang Jie came up from the back and laughed fiercely, “Duanmu Ya, you won’t be able to escape today!”
“Swoosh!”
Suddenly, a subtle wind-breaking sound rang out.
A green-coloured ox-hair fine needle, from the direction of the Dan Tower, flew out and struck at Fang Jie’s vest.
Fang Jie’s ears twitched as he turned around sharply and swung his short spear forward, striking above the cyan-coloured fine needle.
“With a bang, the green-coloured needle suddenly shattered, forming a powerful energy storm that shook Fang Jie backward three steps in a row.
“Gang Breaking Needle!”
Fang Jie’s hawk-like eyes revealed an annoyed expression as he looked around and said sternly, “Who is it? Roll out.”
The Gang Breaking Needle, an eighth rank True Martial Treasure Weapon, was capable of breaking through a cultivator’s protective astral aura, and as long as it pierced into the cultivator’s body, it would immediately burst into pieces, releasing a powerful energy.
Even if it was a strong person of the Fish Dragon Sixth Transformation, once he was struck, he would still be in a dire situation.
At the periphery of the compound, the sound of rapid winds resounded, it seemed that someone was rapidly performing body techniques and changing directions, sometimes appearing out of the east, sometimes appearing in the west, making people completely elusive.
A rather voluminous woman’s voice resounded in the air, “Fang Jie, Cao Ying, you two are so bold, you actually dare to deal with the people of the Moon Worshipping Divine Sect, do you believe that your Blood Cloud Sect will be annihilated because of this?”
The woman hiding in the shadows incorporated her true qi into her voice, forming a sharp sonic power.
Cao Ying’s eyes were very grim as he said, “Since Her Highness the Holy Maiden has already come, why did she not show herself to meet her?”
Obviously, Cao Ying and Fang Jie had come prepared, so they knew very well that both Duanmu Ya and the Holy Maiden of the Demon Sect were in Liyuan City.
Zhang Ruochen’s heart shook slightly as he raised his head to look in the direction of the Dan Tower. He could ascertain that the voice just now was indeed Duanmu Xingling’s voice.
Could it be that she had left the Sacred Academy and returned to the Demon Sect?
Back then, when Wan Zhaobian went to the Sacred King’s Palace to arrest Zhang Ruochen, the charge that was placed was that he had colluded with the Devil Cult and killed the Market Realm warriors.
Since, the Ministry of Military Affairs was even able to find out about this matter, it was probably also able to find out Duanmu Xingling’s true identity through what happened in the Wood Essence Market Realm.
Since her identity was exposed, Duanmu Xingling naturally had no choice but to return to the Devil Cult.
Zhang Ruochen channelled his true qi into the meridians of his eyes and began to carefully observe his surroundings, and soon discovered Duanmu Xingling’s figure.
Her figure, although fast, was too low in cultivation, so how could she hide it from Zhang Ruochen’s eyes?
“Lingxi, run away.”Duanmu Ya said.
“There is no escape.”
Fang Jie’s eyes turned cold and quickly locked onto Mu Lingshi’s location, so he quickly flew out.
With a boom, he directly used his body, crashing through the wall, extending a large hand and grabbing at Mu Lingshi’s left shoulder.
Duanmu Ya wanted to go to the rescue, but was repelled by Cao Ying. Instead, Cao Ying also stabbed her in the abdomen, leaving a sword wound that was not shallow but not deep.
With Mu Lingshi’s cultivation of the Heavenly Extreme Realm Great Circle, how could she be Fang Jie’s opponent?
In just one move, Mu Lingshi was captured by Fang Jie.
“The Holy Daughter of the Moon Worshipping Demon Sect, turns out to be nothing more than that.”
Fang Jie’s five fingers, tightly clasped Mu Lingshi’s left shoulder, the toxins on her fingers corroded her battle suit to the point of black poisonous smoke.
It was fortunate that Mu Lingshi wore a battle suit, otherwise, the toxins on Fang Jie’s hands would be enough to corrode all her skin into pus and blood.
“If not for my cultivation being sealed, how could you be my opponent?”Mu Lingshi said in a cold voice.
“Swish!”
Inside the pupil of Mu Lingshi’s left eye, suddenly, a white ancient sword flew out and stabbed at Fang Jie’s heart.
The white ancient sword was originally smaller than a needle, but when it stabbed into Fang Jie’s heart, it immediately became five feet long and transformed into a holy sword.
On the surface of the sword body, there was a blood-red ancient inscription pattern sinking up and down, causing the power of the white ancient sword to become more and more powerful.
Fang Jie was also worthy of being an old devil who had fought hundreds of battles, although he was sneakily attacked by Mu Lingshi, he reacted within the shortest amount of time.
“Wow!”
He loosened Mu Lingshi’s left shoulder, and with his legs firing, he exploded backwards.
Fang Jie looked at the blood on his heart, and then at the white ancient sword in Mu Lingshi’s hand, his eyes became incomparably cold, and he laughed out loud, “Good! What a holy sword! Your Highness, your Holy Sword, from now on, is mine!”
Fang Jie secretly gathered his strength and walked towards Mu Lingshi step by step.
Mu Lingshi was like an enemy, constantly retreating, and on her glistening white forehead, a fine bead of sweat emerged.
Even though she was the Holy Maiden of the Demon Sect and had many cards on her body, after all, the difference in cultivation between her and Fang Jie was too huge. If she fought Fang Jie head on, she simply did not have any chance of winning.
Moreover, just now, when Fang Jie had clasped her left shoulder, he had used his dark force, causing her left arm to be completely dislocated, and now, she could not lift a single ounce of strength.
In fact, Mu Lingshi was completely capable of using the holy decree and escaping this place immediately.
However, it was impossible for her to leave Duanmu Ya alone, so, knowing that she was not Fang Jie’s opponent, she could only fight hard and try to find an opportunity to converge with Duanmu Ya.
Zhang Ruochen was really a little worried that Duanmu Xingling would suffer a big loss at the hands of Fang Jie, so he couldn’t help but say, “Two big men bullying two weak women, I’m afraid it’s not too good!”
Fang Jie stopped his steps, glanced in Zhang Ruochen’s direction, and said in a cold voice, “Kid, I am the eighth assassin of the Blood Cloud Sect, Fang Jie. If you are sensible, you’d better stay there obediently and drink tea, and don’t interfere in this matter.”
Zhang Ruochen sat on the edge of the table, his fingers playing with the jade teacup as he laughed, “Blood Cloud Sect! What a prestigious name, it’s just a pity that this gongzi has already negotiated a deal with the boss’s wife. If the boss’s wife is captured by you guys, who am I going to do business with?”
Zhang Ruochen purposely changed his voice by a few points, making it seem even more light-hearted, giving people the impression that he was a prodigal young magnate.
Mu Lingshi glanced towards the young man sitting at the edge of the pond, and since she was separated by a pillar, she couldn’t see the young man’s figure clearly at all.
Fang Jie snorted coldly, “Wait until Lao Fu, captures the Demon Sect’s Holy Maiden, then I will come back to clean you up.”
Fang Jie’s ten fingers of his hands quickly curved, forming two black claws as he executed a Ghost Grade Lower Grade Martial Skill, White Bone Ghost Claw.
The White Bone Ghost Claw was evolved from the top claw martial skill of the Black Market One Piece Hall, the “Hell Ghost King Claw”, although its power was far inferior to the Hell Ghost King Claw, it was still a very sinister and profound claw martial skill.
“Cluck!”
Fang Jie’s ten fingers continued to grow longer and longer as he quickly grabbed towards Mu Lingshi.
Before the claws struck Mu Lingshi’s body, in the air, dozens of huge white bone claw marks formed.
In a flash, the space in a hundred feet radius was filled with the shadows of the claws, causing a flying sand-like scene. At the same time, strands of poisonous Qi condensed into a poisonous cloud, completely wrapping him and Mu Lingshi.
With Mu Lingshi’s cultivation, even if he had a holy sword in his grasp, it was impossible for him to block Fang Jie’s White Bone Ghost Claw, so he could only keep retreating.
Looking at the white bone ghost claw, it was about to strike on Mu Lingshi’s body.
Zhang Ruochen let out a sigh and stretched out a finger, pointing it towards the sky.
The aura of heaven and earth quickly converged and condensed into lightning.
“Snap!”
A thunderbolt the thickness of a wine glass split down in mid-air and struck Fang Jie’s head.
Immediately, so the claw marks and poisonous Qi, all dissipated.
Fang Jie’s entire body became scorched black, and all of his hair stood on end, especially at the top of his head, where his scalp cracked open and blood continuously gushed out.
The strike just now, of course, also startled Duanmu Ya and Cao Ying who were fighting.
The two of them, at the same time, stopped fighting and each retreated, staring towards Zhang Ruochen.
“Spiritual power master?”
A serious look appeared on Cao Ying’s face as he began to be on guard.
With Fang Jie’s cultivation, even he could not dodge the mental power attack he dealt with, so it was evident that this person’s mental power must be very powerful.
One must know that a Spiritual Power Master who possessed Spiritual Power Spells and cast powerful spells would definitely be a rather terrifying existence, and could fight against a group of martial artists in the same realm with his own strength.
In the same realm, martial artists were simply no match for a spiritual power master.
Duanmu Ya was quite surprised and stared towards the mysterious man wearing a metal mask, not expecting that this person was actually a noble spiritual power master.
