Zhang Ruochen unleashed his Spatial Domain, covering a sixty-metre radius of space, and a cold light appeared in his eyes as he said, “Prince Huo Xing, since you’ve repeatedly tried to kill me, I will no longer be merciful. Tonight, either you die or I die.”
“How dare you talk big when you’re dying. Release the arrows!” Prince Huo Xing said in a cold voice.
With a command.
“Boom boom!”
A series of bowstring sounds rang out!
One hundred soldiers shot the first wave of Thunderbolt arrows out, sending out a whistling wind-breaking sound, and the densely packed arrows flew towards Zhang Ruochen like raindrops.
Before the first wave of Thunder Thrilling Arrows arrived, the second wave of Thunder Thrilling Arrows had already been shot out, followed by the third wave ……
The well organised attack, under such an attack, even an Earth Extreme Realm martial artist would be in danger of falling.
“Swish swish!”
Having reached the Xuan Extremity Realm’s Minor Extremity Position, Zhang Ruochen’s control of the Spatial Domain became more and more skilful as he stretched out his arms and drew a circle in the void.
The space around his body twisted one hundred and eighty degrees, and those incoming Thunderstorm Arrows, which were still several metres away from his body, directly turned a corner and all flew backward.
“Poof!”
“Poof!”
……
Thunderbolt arrows fell into the Tiger Martyrs’ army, shooting each and every sergeant to the ground, screaming.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Prince Huo Xing was dumbstruck and said with some stuttering, ”Could …… it be that he has succeeded in cultivating the legendary martial arts technique ‘Fighting Transformation of God’? How is that possible? Don’t shoot him with arrows anymore, attack directly, whoever can kill Zhang Ruochen will be rewarded with half a city.”
“Kill!”
The soldiers wearing iron armour and riding savage beasts immediately killed up, as if they wanted to slice Zhang Ruochen into pieces.
Xiao Hei’s cat paw pressed down on the ground, true qi surged out from inside the paw, activating an inscription, and with a loud boom, a fiery light rushed up from the ground, transforming into a big flame bird over ten metres long.
That one big flaming bird, like a vermilion bird, rushed into the middle of the soldiers and instantly set more than a dozen soldiers’ bodies on fire, burning them into flying ashes.
On the ground, there were only a dozen or so empty iron armours left, and the residual hot temperature burned the soil with a “giggling” sound.
“Wow!”
A huge flaming Vermillion Bird also rushed out from other directions, flying into the army, setting each and every soldier on fire, and even setting the entire jungle ablaze.
The formation was fully opened, and a hundred Flaming Vermillion Birds rushed out from the ground before and after, rushing in all directions and causing huge casualties to the Tiger Martyr Army that Prince Huo Xing had brought with him.
The entire mountain range, completely turned into a sea of blazing fire.
“Your Highness the Prince, the other party has set up an extremely powerful Flame Killing Formation, we’ve been tricked!”
“It takes at least a third grade formation master to set up such a terrifying formation.”
……
Prince Huo Xing’s face was blue, he had thought that leading 2,000 Tiger Martyrs to deal with Zhang Ruochen was already foolproof, but he had not expected that Zhang Ruochen would be a Formation Master, inflicting great trauma on the Tiger Martyrs.
In just a quarter of an hour, at least five hundred soldiers died, and a large number of soldiers were seriously injured.
Prince Huo Xing never dreamed that the one who set up the formation was a cat and not Zhang Ruochen.
“Kill! Kill them without a single piece of armour left! Haha, going against this Emperor is a dead end.” Xiao Hei sat on the back of the Two-Headed Blood Lion as he charged across, crushing a large swathe of soldiers into the ground and crushing them into bloody mud.
Zhang Ruochen leapt up and landed on the back of the Two-Headed Blood Lion, saying, “Let’s go, lure them to the Devil Wind Valley.”
“What’s wrong? This Emperor’s killing aura is strong today, how can he retreat?” Little Black said.
Zhang Ruochen’s face was solemn as he said, “I sense the aura of an Earth Extremity Realm powerhouse that is coming in this direction. If we don’t leave, we won’t be able to leave.”
Zhang Ruochen also wanted to get rid of Prince Huo Xing as an afterthought, but with his current strength, he was absolutely no match for an Earth Extreme Realm powerhouse.
Hearing the words “Earth Extreme Realm”, Xiao Hei was also startled and said, “Xiao Shuang, run away.”
Carrying Zhang Ruochen and Xiao Hei on their backs, the Two-Headed Blood Lion knocked more than a dozen soldiers out of the way and darted towards the direction of the Demonic Wind Ridge at the fastest speed possible.
Zhang Ruochen and Little Black had just left a short while ago when the ground shook violently as if the earth was shaking.
“Rumble!”
A one-horned golden leopard, more than eight metres tall, rushed up from below the mountain range, breaking a tree and causing tremendous destruction.
A third-ranked savage beast, the Unicorn Golden Leopard, had a battle strength comparable to that of a martial artist of the Earth Extremity Realm.
On the back of the One-Horned Golden Leopard, sat a tall man who looked to be in his forties, two meters and three meters tall, wearing five hundred kilograms of thick black armour, with arms as thick as buckets, holding a two zhang four feet long halberd, as if a god of war had descended into the world.
He glanced at the tragic scene on the mountain ridge and roared in a cold voice, saying, “You are the elite 3rd and 4th battalions of the Tiger Martyrs Army, and when you attacked Shunjing City in the Yunwu County Kingdom, you didn’t have such heavy deaths and injuries, the face of the Tiger Martyrs Army has been disgraced by you all!”
Prince Huo Xing walked out from amongst the soldiers and said, “General Hongye, you can’t blame the generals, you can only blame me, I didn’t expect Zhang Ruochen to be an expert in formations, and I was taken by surprise by him.”
“A formation expert? How old is he, how can he become a formation master?” General Hongye’s face softened a bit when he saw Prince Huo Xing.
General Hongye was very clear about the role of a formation master on the battlefield, sometimes even able to change the victory or defeat of a war.
Prince Huo Xing’s face was grim as he said, “General Hongye doesn’t know, although Zhang Ruochen is not very old, his spiritual power is frighteningly high and has already reached the twenty-ninth rank. With his spiritual power, he is fully capable of becoming a Third Grade Formation Master. His existence is definitely a huge threat to the Sifang County Kingdom.”
General Hongye’s heart was also shocked, to have twenty-nine orders of spiritual power when he was only in his teens was also too unbelievable. His eyes sank as he said, “Is that boy dead yet?”
Prince Huo Xing’s face darkened as he said, “He escaped!”
General Hongye looked at the traces on the ground and stared in the direction Zhang Ruochen and Little Black left, saying, “He couldn’t escape.”
“Rumble!”
General Hongye charged out on his one-horned golden leopard, chasing after the direction of the Devil Wind Ridge. Killing Zhang Ruochen was definitely a great honour, how could he let go of this opportunity?
Prince Huo Xing consolidated those uninjured soldiers, roughly a thousand of them, and chased after them in the direction of the Devil Wind Ridge as well.
The speed of the Two-Headed Blood Lion was indeed very fast, but how could it compare to the third-stage savage beast, the Unicorn Golden Leopard? Soon, General Hongye caught up with Zhang Ruochen and Little Black.
“Damn! It’s catching up!” Xiao Hei anxiously said.
Zhang Ruochen looked ahead and had already arrived at the bottom of the mountain in the Devil Wind Valley, and it would only take a few moments for him to rush into the valley.
But would the one Earth Extreme Realm general chasing after them give them a moment’s time?
“Fight!”
Zhang Ruochen took a battle bow out of the Time and Space Crystal Stone, placed three purple Thunder Thrilling Arrows on top of the bowstring at the same time, and shot them out.
“Boom!”
The three Thunder Thrilling Arrows were shot at General Hongye’s head, heart, and mount with great precision.
The corners of General Hongye’s mouth hooked slightly and he didn’t even dodge for a moment, the two Thunderstorm Arrows that were shot at his head and heart impacted on top of the thick armour, emitting two loud noises of metal collision before they were bounced out.
The one Thunderstorm Arrow that was shot at the Unicorn Golden Leopard was bitten by the Unicorn Golden Leopard with its mouth open and swallowed directly into its stomach.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Ruochen’s face changed slightly, those three arrows just now, he had already used his full power, and an ordinary Xuan Extreme Realm Great Circle martial artist would not be able to block them. However, in front of an Earth Extreme Realm martial artist, it was so unbearable.
“Kid, the arrows are good, it’s just a pity that the power isn’t enough.” General Hongye laughed out loud.
Seeing that the double-headed blood lion was about to dash into the Demon Wind Valley, but General Redye had already chased it to sixty metres away, fifty metres, forty metres, thirty metres ……
Just when the distance between the two sides was only twenty metres away, General Hongye took off from the back of the One-Horned Golden Leopard, holding a two and four foot long war halberd, carrying a powerful force that violently stabbed at Zhang Ruochen’s back.
“Kid, it’s over!”
Before General Hongye’s halberd landed on Zhang Ruochen’s body, Zhang Ruochen already felt a tingling pain all over his body as a sharp forceful aura tore the robes on his body to shreds.
Zhang Ruochen remained calm as he stretched out his hands and pushed forward.
General Hongye, who had stabbed down the war halberd, revealed a disdainful smile when he saw this action of Zhang Ruochen. To be like blocking the war halberd with just his hands, he was too naive!
However, what happened next caused General Hongye’s face to change.
The war halberd that was originally stabbing towards Zhang Ruochen slowly changed direction and flew out from Zhang Ruochen’s left side.
He dodged the halberd and bought time for Zhang Ruochen.
The Two-Headed Blood Lion carried Zhang Ruochen and Little Black on its back and rushed into the Devil Wind Valley.
“How could this happen? What martial skill is he cultivating?”
General Hongye clenched his teeth and stared at Zhang Ruochen’s back, feeling incredulous.
“He must die!”
After only a slight freeze, General Hongye’s eyes regained a great deal of determination as he leapt onto the back of the One-Horned Golden Leopard and chased after him into the Devil Wind Valley.
“Kid, you’re seeking your own death by escaping into the valley. ……” General Hongye stood on the back of the One-Horned Golden Leopard and looked at Zhang Ruochen who had stopped.
Suddenly, his eyes sank as he stared at the two beautiful young women standing not far away, saying, “And who are you?”
A flirtatious smile appeared on Duanmu Xingling’s pretty face, and the twin peaks on her chest gently trembled, revealing two rows of snow-like white teeth as she said, “You actually asked who we are? I also want to ask you who you are, actually daring to hunt down and kill a student of the Martial City Academy, not a small amount of guts!”
Duanmu Xingling was indeed very beautiful and enchanting, even General Hongye looked slightly dumbfounded, simply not expecting to be able to encounter such a stunning beauty in the middle of the wild mountains.
Listening to her tone, she seemed to be a student of the Martial City Academy as well.
Even if she was a trainee of the Martial City Academy, so what, in the Heavenly Demon Ridge, if she slept with her, how would the Martial City Academy know? The big deal is that after it is done, she will be sold to the black market.
Once sold into the black market and turned into a prostitute or slave in the black market, even if you have a great identity, you will never want to escape again.
“If I can sleep with her, even if I lose ten years of my life, it would still be a beautiful thing.”
General Hongye’s gaze was fixed on Huang Yichen again, a stunning look appeared in his eyes once again, his heart was ecstatic, Heaven has treated me well, I didn’t expect to chase after a Zhang Ruochen but come across two fairy-like beauties.
Firstly, I will enjoy them myself and then sell them to the black market, I will definitely be able to make a big profit.
General Hongye was able to tell that Huang Yichen and Duanmu Xingling were both at the Xuanji Realm and could not possibly be his opponents.
However, he didn’t know that Huang Yichen and Duanmu Xingling were both Xuan Ranking martial artists, if he knew, he wouldn’t be as optimistic as he was now.
Seeing General Hongye’s lustful/evil expression, Huang Yichen became unusually disgusted and said, “Men are all the same, even if their cultivation is high, they still can’t change their nature.”
Zhang Ruochen, who was standing not far away, frowned slightly when he heard Huang Yichen’s words.
