It was not an easy task for the Canglong Army to cultivate an elite warrior, and it required a great deal of resources.
However, Zhang Ruochen had killed 3,000 elites in a row by merely activating his sword qi. Even with Cold Eagle’s status, he felt extremely heartbroken.
This was a massacre!
“Looks like I really underestimated you, you’re actually capable of tearing through space. What exactly is your relationship with Zhang Ruochen?”
Cold Eagle had some suspicions that the man below wearing a golden mask was most likely the Space-Time Transmitter Zhang Ruochen himself.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t speak, only staring at him with a pair of cold eyes.
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t speak, when this Commander captures you, I will naturally know your identity as well. I will definitely not kill you easily, I have to let you taste all the tortures of the Cang Long Army and slowly torture you to death.”
The pair of black feathered wings on the Cold Eagle’s back emitted two strands of black cold air that condensed into two gloomy clouds.
“Ka ka ka.”
His hands, transformed into two metal eagle claws, pressed downwards.
It was unknown just how terrifyingly powerful the metal eagle claws contained above them, causing the aura of heaven and earth to shake violently, freezing a thick layer of cold ice out of the city area below.
The cultivation of the Cold Eagle, reaching the middle stage of the Ninth Order Half-Saint, far exceeded Guo Lu, and with Zhang Ruochen’s current cultivation, he was indeed no match for him.
However, Zhang Ruochen had a trick up his sleeve.
“Thousand Stripes Destruction Power!”
Zhang Ruochen ignored everything and poured ninety-nine percent of the Saint Qi in his body into the sword body of the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword.
A destructive aura of power surged out from the sword, piercing through the two cloudy clouds in the sky in a split second.
“That’s the …… Thousand Stripes Sacred Artifact ……”
The Cold Eagle’s face changed violently and immediately flapped its feathered wings, erupting its fastest speed, wanting to escape.
However, in order to deal with Zhang Ruochen, he had already ordered that this area of the city be blocked.
The blockade formation hadn’t been opened, so even he couldn’t escape.
“Open the blockade formation for me immediately.”
Cold Eagle’s veins popped out all over his body as he roared out, his heart filled with fear and urgency.
However, without waiting for the Blockade Grand Formation to open, a force of death had already locked him in place.
Immediately, Cold Eagle turned around and crushed three protective talismans in a row, forming three layers of defensive light shields that enveloped his body.
“Pfft.”
A sword qi containing Thousand Stripes Destruction Strength was like slicing through three pieces of paper, tearing apart the three layers of defensive light shields, and at the same time, it also split Cold Eagle’s body in two.
Blood, like rain, spilled downwards.
A roaring sound rang out, and the blockade formation finally opened, revealing the true sight of that part of the city.
Qin Yutong stood at the top of the tower and looked over from afar, immediately sucking in a breath of cold air, feeling like she had seen a morose Cultivation Ground.
That area of the city was completely in ruins, the ground was filled with corpses wearing black armor, and blood dyed the earth scarlet.
In mid-air, one of the Ten Great Commanders of the Canglong Army, Cold Eagle, was split in two by a sword qi, falling straight downwards.
The only thing that was left was, a young man covered in blood, holding a battle sword, walking towards the corpse of the Cold Eagle.
This scene in front of me did make Qin Yutong feel some palpitations, this person …… is simply a killing god.
Zhang Ruochen removed the jade stone that recorded the Tai Ming Sacred Canon from Cold Eagle’s body and cupped it in his hand as he let out a long sigh.
Originally, he still had some hopes for Zhang Shu, fine that he would be able to become a strong person in the future.
Who would have thought that only a few hours had passed, and a youngster who had yet to rise to prominence had already been buried under the butcher’s knife of the Cang Long Army.
Having executed the Thousand Stripes Destruction Strength, Zhang Ruochen had exhausted the Saint Qi in his body and was only relying on his powerful physical body to support him.
It was imperative to leave as soon as possible.
“Wow!”
A slender, ethereal shadow fluttered down from the sky, like a fairy that had flown down from the Heavenly Palace to the mortal world, and landed at the edge of the battlefield, her face veiled and her perfect figure shadowed in the mist.
Zhang Ruochen had seen her above the banquet of the Cai Clan’s Sacred Mansion, and it was rumored that she was the Phoenix Dance Palace’s gold standard, the Dance Fairy.
Zhang Ruochen maintained his calm and collected demeanor, trying not to let the other party see that he had exhausted his Saint Qi at this moment, and said in a cold voice, “Another one who comes to die?”
Qin Yutong carefully sized up Zhang Ruochen, and then, took out a token, on top of which, the word “Zhang” was printed in a square.
An extremely pleasant and melodious voice spat out from her mouth as she said, “If, I’m not mistaken, you should be that strong person from the Zhang Clan that Zhang Fengxing spoke of, right?”
A look of surprise appeared in Zhang Ruochen’s eyes, clearly somewhat surprised that the Zhang Family’s high-ranking figure who had met with Zhang Bongxing was actually her.
“If you killed Cold Eagle, you will definitely alert the Saint realm giants in the Ling Xiao Heavenly King’s Mansion, in your current state, it would be best if you come with me, I can take you to a safe place.”
Qin Yutong’s pair of starry eyes were not only beautiful and touching, they also radiated a spiritual light.
If one was able to observe them up close, one would realize that her pupils were like two vast starry skies, with grains of star-like light flickering within.
This was a pair of holy eyes, known as the “Sea of Stars”, which could see many things that ordinary people could not see, and at the same time, it also had an amazing seductive power.
Anyone who met her eyes would be attracted by her aura and fall into a situation where they couldn’t help themselves.
Even though Zhang Ruochen was already carefully concealing it, he still allowed her to see the fact that her Saint Qi was depleted, so he had to say that she did have some real skills and wasn’t just a beautiful vase, so it was no wonder that she was able to become a high-ranking figure in the Zhang Clan.
In the end, Zhang Ruochen left with Qin Yutong.
A moment later, a terrifying Saint Might descended from the sky and appeared at the battlefield just now.
The cities around the battlefield, all the cultivators, were all startled.
Some of the martial practitioners with lower cultivation levels were even more panicked and uneasy, kneeling on the ground in fear and trembling.
“Who is it?”
A furious voice came out from the clouds, causing the wind to blow furiously in that part of the city.
In Sacred Brightness City, cultivators from various clans were inquiring about what great event had happened that would provoke the wrath of a Saint?
It didn’t take long for the news to spread.
“One of the ten great commanders of the Cang Long Army, Cold Eagle, was killed, and none of the three thousand elite troops survived.”
Hearing this piece of news, many cultivators were stunned.
How many years had it been since the Cang Long Army had suffered such a great loss? Who on earth was so bold as to dare to kill a commander in Sacred Brightness City?
This night, it was destined that Sacred Bright City would not be calm.
At this moment, Zhang Ruochen and Qin Yutong arrived at a canyon in Sacred Brightness City. In the canyon, the lights were bright, the palaces were clustered, and there were a lot of young and beautiful women, holding lanterns or holding ancient zithers, walking through the corridors between the palaces.
There was an endless stream of warblers and swallows.
“Phoenix Dance Palace.”Zhang Ruochen recited.
Qin Yutong turned around, her pair of beautiful starry eyes with a spiritual charm, stared at Zhang Ruochen and said, “Have you been here before?”
“No.”
Zhang Ruochen shook his head and said, “The city area where the Phoenix Dance Palace is located is one of the most prosperous city areas in Shengming City, so even if I haven’t been inside, I’ve passed by more than once.”
Qin Yutong nodded and said no more.
Traveling towards the depths of the Phoenix Dance Palace, the valley, gradually became secluded and quiet, very much like an out-of-this-world paradise, in stark contrast to the bustling scene of the wine pool and meat forest outside.
One extremely vulgar, one extremely elegant.
Four silhouettes rushed out, just in time to meet up with Qin Yutong and Zhang Ruochen.
Two men and two women.
The two young women, dressed as sexy dancers, had the cultivation of the Fourth Order Half-Saint Realm, and were none other than Bai Xuanfang and Bai Xuanyu.
The two men, however, were supreme experts under the Saint realm, their cultivation reaching the ninth order of Half-Saint, although, they had completely restrained their Saint Qi, they still had an intimidating might emanating from them.
Bai Xuanxiang revealed a look of joy and said, “Excellent! Originally, I wanted to bring Senior Brother Yan and Senior Brother Fu to help you guys out, but I didn’t expect that you guys escaped first.”
Yan Wenqi and Fu Goblet’s gazes were fixed on Zhang Ruochen’s body, revealing a hostile look.
Yan Wenqi was relatively younger, appearing to be twenty-seven or eighteen years old, his gaze condensed as he said, “What kind of character is Cold Eagle, how could you guys so easily, escape from his hands?”
Zhang Ruochen frowned slightly and asked calmly, “What does Your Excellency mean?”
Yan Wenqi let out a laugh and said, “This seat has some suspicions that you are most likely a covert move arranged by the Lingxiao Heavenly King’s Mansion and the Canglong Army, trying to penetrate our inner circle. The so-called siege was most likely just a play that you and Cold Eagle put on with each other.”
Fu Goblet stared at Qin Yutong and said, “Senior sister, this time, it was you who were too careless! With Cold Eagle’s cultivation and methods, how could you possibly get away so quickly? Didn’t you ever suspect him?”
Qin Yutong stared over toward Yan Qi and Fu Goblet, saying, “The two of you don’t know the inside story, so it’s best not to offend this gongzi.”
An angry color appeared in Bai Xuanfeng’s eyes as he said, “This gongzi killed Guo Lu, one of the Cang Long Army’s ten great commanders, in the Cai Clan Sacred Mansion, and helped a lot of our brothers and sisters avenge their blood feuds, so how could he possibly be a covert pawn of the Cang Long Army?”
Yan Wenqi and Fu Goblet’s expressions were solemn as they exclaimed almost simultaneously, “He killed Guo Lu?”
One must know that even if the two of them had joined forces against Guo Lu, they would only have a slight upper hand and would not be able to kill him…?How could they not see that this young man in front of them had that kind of strong battle power?
Qin Yutong said, ”It’s not just Guo Lu, just a moment ago, he killed the Cold Eagle and the Cang Long Army’s 3,000 elite soldiers. May I ask the two senior brothers, do you have that kind of ability?”
The shocked looks on Yan Wenqi and Fu Goblet’s faces intensified, making it very difficult to believe that was the truth.
Bai Xuanfang and Bai Xuanyu, on the other hand, grew their lips, their eyes blinking, revealing a look of reverence as if they were looking at a gaijin hero.
What they couldn’t do with all their efforts and at many costs, Zhang Ruochen had made two of them in one night, killing two great enemies.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t bother with Yan Qi and Fu Goblet, and stared over toward Qin Yutong, saying, “Give me a safe, hidden cultivation chamber, I need to recuperate.”?”No problem, my secret cultivation room, I can lend it to you, no one there dares to break in and enter.”Qin Yutong’s tone was gentle.
Zhang Ruochen added, “Also, use your power to help me check the whereabouts of the other eight commanders of the Canglong Army, as well as the whereabouts of some of the important figures of the Lingxiao Heavenly King’s Mansion, such as the Four Dukes and other figures.”
Qin Yutong could feel the intense killing intent on Zhang Ruochen’s body, and her already very full chest rose and fell deeply as she asked, “What do you want to do?”
“I just want them to pay some due price, and have to tell the Lingxiao Heavenly King’s Mansion that Sacred Brightness City is not a place where they can call the shots.”
Zhang Ruochen said decisively, that pair of eyes as sharp as two swords.
