Qing You was struck by the sword qi, and on his palm, a shallow bloody gash was left behind.
That sword qi had broken open the cyan coloured scales on his palm. The blood that flowed was also cyan in colour and carried a strong poison.
“Haha! Your Highness the Ninth Prince is really deep, actually able to break through this prince’s Green Demon Hand, interesting, really interesting!”
Qing Yu operated the true qi in his body, and strands of qi flowed out from his pores, transforming into a green-coloured light that wrapped his arms.
The green-coloured light surged towards both palms.
A moment later, the wound that had been cut open by Zhang Ruochen healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
“What a powerful self-healing ability!”
Zhang Ruochen was wary of Qingyue while, at the same time, his gaze stared over towards Zixi again and said, “Can you still hold on?”
Zixi’s face was pale, with blood hanging from the corner of her mouth, and the most serious injury was the one on her right shoulder.
Qing Yu’s palm carried a strong poison, corroding Zixi’s clothes in the shape of a palm print, and the skin that was exposed underneath her clothes, turned greenish-purple.
“I’m fine!” Zixi clenched her teeth, with a few cold colours in her eyes, and said, “Let’s join forces and kill our way out. I’ll hold back Qing Yu, and you go and cut down the other seven martial artists. I can only withstand Qing Yu for ten moves at most, so you must kill those seven before that, and then we’ll join forces to deal with Qing Yu, only then will we have a chance to escape.”
Zhang Ruochen watched as Zixi’s face became paler and paler and said, “It’s still better for me to hold Qing You while you kill those seven people.”
“No way! Qing You won’t kill me, so I can take ten moves from him. But, Qing You will kill you, let alone ten moves, within five moves, you will die in his hands.” Zixi said.
“That’s not necessarily true!”
Zhang Ruochen smiled faintly at Zi Xi, holding the Flashing Soul Sword in one hand, while the other hand took out a black lance from the Time and Space Crystal Stone.
This black lance, taken from the hands of a martial artist from the Four Directions County Kingdom, was a Fourth Grade True Martial Treasure Weapon.
Stepping on his feet, Zhang Ruochen rushed towards Qing Yu at top speed.
At the same time, Zi Xi also immediately struck out, taking a step out and crossing the stream, pointing a finger at the throat position of an early Xuanji Realm martial artist.
That one martial artiste’s throat shattered, spitting out blood from his mouth as he immediately collapsed in the middle of the stream.
In an instant, Zixi attacked another martial artist.
Qing You stood on top of a two-metre high boulder, staring at Zhang Ruochen who was rushing over, an excited smile on his face as he said, “Good timing! Just in time to kill you first, then go slowly ravage that one great beauty.”
“That depends on whether you have that ability!” Zhang Ruochen said.
Qing You stared at Zhang Ruochen and sneered, “Holding a sword in one hand and a gun in the other, do you think you’re able to use two minds at once? If you can’t do two things with one mind and use two weapons, it will instead make your battle power even lower.”
“Try it and you’ll know!” Zhang Ruochen said.
Just a moment ago, Zixi had already killed two people in a row and attacked towards the third person.
Qing You also stopped talking nonsense with Zhang Ruochen and leapt down from the boulder, using all of her true qi, and slapped her palm on top of the boulder.
The boulder, which was tens of thousands of kilograms, flew out and crashed into Zhang Ruochen.
One could not retreat, one had to hold back Qing You.
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes sank as he mobilised the true qi in his body and activated all four force system inscriptions in the Flash Soul Sword. The weight of the Flash Soul Sword reached four hundred and fifty-three jin.
“Boom!”
A sword chopped out.
The piece of ten-thousand jin boulder cracked from it and flew in both the left and right directions.
“Haha!”
Qing You flew out from behind the boulder with a sardonic smile on his face as he slapped his palm at Zhang Ruochen’s head.
Knowing that Zhang Ruochen had unfolded his Spatial Domain, he naturally knew that Qing You was following behind the boulder. Before Qing You’s palm struck out, Zhang Ruochen took the first step to thrust his lance out, striking Qing You’s chest.
Qing You simply did not expect Zhang Ruochen’s reaction speed to be so fast, and had to retract his palm and strike the lance with a backhand.
“Boom!”
How strong was Qing You’s power, and with a single palm strike, the long spear was deflected.
Afterwards, Qing You’s body turned violently, and like a poisonous snake following the long spear again, he wandered towards Zhang Ruochen. He stretched out two fingers and pointed them towards Zhang Ruochen’s throat.
At the tips of his fingers, two green coloured sparks emerged.
It was important to know that while Qing Yu’s speed, reached forty-four metres per second, Zhang Ruochen’s speed was only thirty-four metres per second.
In Qing You’s opinion, his fingers would definitely be able to shatter Zhang Ruochen’s throat.
However, right at this moment, Zhang Ruochen stabbed out with his sword, from the bottom, instead stabbing towards Qing You’s throat.
If Qing You wanted to shatter Zhang Ruochen’s throat, his own throat would definitely be shattered by the sword. The end result, the same death.
Qing You frowned slightly as he was once again forced out by Zhang Ruochen, “How is it possible? Your speed and strength are far inferior to mine, yet you were able to break my killing moves one after another. Could it be that you are really able to use two things at once, and can manipulate both the sword and the spear at the same time?”
Zhang Ruochen held the sword in one hand and the gun in the other, saying, “I told you a long time ago, it’s not an easy task for you to kill me!”
Zhang Ruochen’s speed was indeed far inferior to Qing You, but he had the Spatial Domain. Once Qing Yui came within ten metres of him, Zhang Ruochen could see all of Qing Yui’s moves clearly, and could completely strike first and block Qing Yui’s killing moves.
At this moment, Zi Xi had already killed three people.
“Then let’s see how many moves you can block?”
Qing Yu warmed with anger as his arms turned greenish-black and he executed a Human Grade Upper Grade Body Martial Technique, transforming into three green shadows and attacking Zhang Ruochen at the same time.
An ordinary martial artist wouldn’t be able to tell which shadow was Qing You’s true body.
When the three shadows entered within ten metres of Zhang Ruochen, Zhang Ruochen finally saw that all three shadows were his true body, it was just that Qing You’s speed was too fast and he was stepping on a strange pace, which made it seem like he had turned into three people.
“Boom!”
Zhang Ruochen slashed out with his sword, blocking the first shadow.
Another stabbed out, blocking the second silhouette.
When the third silhouette rushed up, Zhang Ruochen’s gun and sword blocked at the same time, another same move, once again forcing Qing Yu back.
“Boom!”
Looking from afar, all that could be seen was Zhang Ruochen standing in place, constantly swinging out his battle sword and stabbing out his spear as he fought the three Green Spectres at the same time.
After exchanging more than twenty strokes in a row, the Green Spectres were unable to defeat Zhang Ruochen.
Prince Huo Xing stood on the back of the Green Lin Eagle and looked at the battlefield below with some disappointment, saying, “It seems like I still have to make a move!”
Prince Huo Xing lifted the Silver Bone String Moon Bow up and took out a golden car-breaking arrow. His entire body’s true qi surged, immediately pulling the three hundred kilograms Silver Bone String Moon Bow into a full moon, emitting a “cackling” sound.
On the battlefield, using the Car Breaker Arrow could break a thirty-man chariot with a single arrow.
Prince Huo Xing stared at Zhang Ruochen who was fighting with Qing Yu, a hint of a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth as he pointed the arrow at Zhang Ruochen’s vest and said, “Ninth Prince, farewell forever!”
With a loose finger, the chariot-breaking arrow flew out.
“Swoosh!”
The arrow, burning up like a flaming meteorite, sprinted towards the earth.
