Huo Gang’s face was full of whiskers, making him look sharp-tongued and monkey-like, but he was a genuine Earth Extreme Realm expert, and his speed was astonishingly fast, rushing to Zi Xi’s body in an instant.
Five fingers were pinched into a claw shape and swung in mid-air, grabbing at Zixi’s chest.
Zi Xi’s face changed and she immediately performed a bizarre sword technique, eight sword shadows appearing in front of her body, splitting into eight directions and stabbing towards Huo Gang.
In the Red Sky Mysterious Mansion, Zixi had also had a strange encounter and her cultivation had already broken through to the Xuanji Realm Grand Circle. However, her body was injured, and the speed of her sword was much slower, with many breaks appearing.
“Your sword techniques are all false moves, and in the face of absolute strength, they are of no use at all.”
Huo Gang let out a maniacal laugh, his five fingers were wrapped in true qi, and surprisingly, a layer of metal-like lustre surfaced, as if he was carrying a pair of metal gloves.
“Boom!”
He struck down with a claw, shattering all the sword shadows stabbed out by Zixi.
The metal-like claws of his hands grabbed past Zixi’s waist with a piercing sound, tearing off a large piece of robe.
The skin from Zixi’s waist to the bottom of her left breast was revealed, the concave and convex curves, the snow-white crystal skin, looking at the three evil people in the grotto who had just escaped from the purgatory their eyes straightened, their eyes became very hot.
Zixi stretched out a hand and blocked it below her chest, covering the hidden spring light.
Huo Gang grabs a large piece of the white robe torn from Zixi’s body and puts it on the tip of his nose and sniffs it, revealing an intoxicated expression as he says, “It smells so good!”
“Go to hell!”
“Killing God One Style!”
Zixi executed a Spirit Grade Lower Grade sword stance, the sword was like lightning as it stabbed across the air and struck at Huo Gang’s heart.
The corner of Huo Gang’s mouth hooks slightly, revealing a devious smile as he rushes out at a much faster speed, avoiding Zixi’s sword and striking a finger on Zixi’s slender neck, sealing the meridians in Zixi’s lips.
Afterwards, another seven pillars of true qi were struck in a row, sealing the other seven meridians on Zixi’s body.
Zixi carried her sword and stopped in her tracks, as if she was petrified, unable to move even a little.
“Beauty, I know that you have a poison pill in your mouth, and as soon as you are captured, you will immediately commit suicide by biting through the poison pill. But now, your entire body’s meridians are sealed, can you still bite through the poison pill? Haha!” Looking at Zixi’s slender and shapely body, Huo Gang trembled as a burning light radiated from his eyes.
At this moment, Zixi regretted it too much, had she known that she should have bitten through the poison pill to kill herself at the very beginning, she shouldn’t have taken a chance.
It was too late to say anything now, falling into the hands of these three evil people would definitely cause her pain.
She was originally a member of the black market, and knew too well the methods of the evil men of the black market.
For some reason, Ning Xiaochuan’s figure surfaced in her mind, and her heart sighed, what was the point of thinking about him, even if he came, he could not possibly be a match for these three evil men.
Just as this thought surfaced in Zixi’s mind, a miserable scream came from her ears.
“Boom!”
Huo Gang flew out backwards, his body crashing into the stone wall, his eyes wide and his whole body stiffening, he had unexpectedly died of gas.
A thumb-sized stone pierced through Huo Gang’s chest, the powerful impact left a bowl-sized bloody hole in Huo Gang’s chest, his body was pierced through.
Zixi, who had already despaired, suddenly gave birth to hope again, and looked towards the cave entrance of the grotto.
“Ta-da!”
Footsteps slowly sounded.
Zhang Ruochen was wearing a clean white robe, with clear features and a straight figure, looking very young and handsome, and carrying a noble aura of a royal family.
Zhang Ruochen walked into the grotto and saw Zixi, who had her meridians sealed, and walked straight over.
“Kid, are you a student of the Martial City Academy?” Chen Li Dao said in a cold voice.
Seeing that Zhang Ruochen simply ignored him, Chen Li Dao’s face revealed anger as he attacked towards Zhang Ruochen with a palm.
Chen Li Dao didn’t dare to take the enemy lightly, knowing that Huo Gang was killed by a stone from the other party, the strength of the other party was definitely not to be underestimated. Mobilising his entire body’s true qi, he struck out a mountainous palm, a trace of lightning surged out from his palm, emitting a crackling sound.
Zhang Ruochen stopped slightly and slapped out a backhand palm, just like slapping a mosquito, sending Chen Li Dao flying more than ten metres away.
“Boom!”
Chen Li Dao impacted on the stone wall, a mouthful of blood spat out from his mouth, his body was like a piece of paper page, lightly sliding down the stone wall and falling to the ground.
On the stone wall, a human-shaped pit was left behind.
Chen Li Dao was lying on the ground, unable to stand up, all the bones in his body had all been shattered by that palm just now. If not for the fact that he was an Earth Extreme Realm martial powerhouse with a strong life force, I’m afraid that he would already be dead at this moment.
Tu Yun was very shocked as he stared at the white-clothed young man in front of him, constantly retreating, he had been crossing the martial arts world for decades, and was also considered a generation of ruthless people, having seen many strong martial arts practitioners. However, he had never seen such a young person with such a terrifying martial arts cultivation.
Not only was Tu Yun shocked, even Zi Xi was very surprised.
She hadn’t expected that Zhang Ruochen’s strength had already reached such a powerful level, slapping away an Earth Extremity Realm martial arts expert with a single slap of his hand.
Tu Yun was also considered a strong person who had seen great storms, and although he was surprised in his heart, he was not intimidated by Zhang Ruochen.
He snatched the Fish Intestine Sword in Sleeve from Zixi’s hand and pointed it at Zixi’s neck as he stared coldly at Zhang Ruochen, saying, “If you want to save her, you’d better listen to my instructions and obediently exit the grotto.”
Zhang Ruochen stood motionless, saying, “You are not qualified to make conditions with me, release her now and I can leave you alive. However, you must return to the Inferno River Purgatory and continue to be a prisoner to atone for the transgressions you once committed.”
“Haha! Who are you kidding, I escaped with great difficulty, how could I obediently go back?” Tu Yun sneered.
Zhang Ruochen gently shook his head and said, “Meaning, you’re going to give up this chance to live?”
Tu Yun’s eyes were icy cold as he brought the fish gut sword in his sleeve a few more points closer to Zi Xi’s neck, gritting his teeth, he said, “If you don’t let me go, do you believe I can kill her right now?”
“There’s no way I’m letting you go, nor do I believe you can kill her.” Zhang Ruochen walked towards Tuyun as if he was walking idly.
The distance grew closer and closer.
Tu Yun looked at Zhang Ruochen who kept getting closer and closer, he was also driven to the point where he was about to slice Zixi’s neck off with his sword before fighting Zhang Ruochen for his life.
The other party was just a teenager, even if he was stronger, how strong could he be?
He was a strong person in the middle stage of the Earth Extreme Realm, even if he wasn’t an opponent to deal with, he would at least have a chance to escape.
However, just as Tu Yun made up his mind to kill Zi Xi, he was shocked to find that his entire body was unable to move, as if he had been sealed in cold ice.
“How …… how could …… this …… happen,” Tu Yun opened his mouth with great difficulty, and a slurred voice came out of his mouth.
Zhang Ruochen was using one of the powers of the Spatial Domain, Spatial Condensation.
In the spatial domain, Zhang Ruochen could make the air freeze like water, freezing the cultivators in the spatial domain.
Of course, if the enemy’s cultivation was strong enough, he could still forcefully break open the spatial domain and escape the suppression of spatial solidification.
Obviously, Tu Yun wasn’t that powerful yet, so he didn’t have any power to fight back in the middle of Zhang Ruochen’s spatial domain.
Zhang Ruochen walked to Tu Yun’s face, looked at Tu Yun’s terrified face, and said, “I gave you a chance, and you didn’t cherish it yourself.”
Zhang Ruochen’s palm was placed at the location of Tu Yun’s heart, and Cold Ice True Qi surged out from his palm, completely wrapping Tu Yun’s heart.
“Puffing!”
The Cold Ice True Qi froze Tu Yun’s heart, turning it into a blood-red ice crystal.
Tu Yun’s body spasmed for a moment, his muscles tensing up, and then, he completely stopped breathing, his body stiffening like an ice man.
The killing was done in a very elegant manner, not a single drop of blood was visible.
Zhang Ruochen removed the Fish Intestine Sword in the Sleeve from Tuyun’s hand, and pointed a finger at Zixi’s brow as a powerful True Qi surged into Zixi’s Qi Lake.
The true qi ran round Zixi’s body, following the meridians.
The meridians that were originally sealed immediately returned to smoothness.
Zixie’s body softened and directly collapsed into Zhang Ruochen’s arms, her breath was like a swimmer as she said, “Thank you.”
After saying this, Zixi fainted.
When she woke up again, she was still in the middle of the grotto, lying on top of a stone bed, the injuries on her body had already recovered.
The six corpses had already been cleared out, leaving only the severely injured Chen Li Dao still lying limply on the ground, but he was also unconscious and in a half-dead state.
Zhang Ruochen was sitting on the ground, seemingly cultivating.
As she woke up, Zhang Ruochen also opened his eyes and stared over at her, “Have you recovered from your injuries?”
Zixi looked at the brand new robes on her body, and a blush appeared on her originally icy and pretty face as she lowered her head and said, “You helped me change my clothes?”
Zhang Ruochen didn’t feel anything wrong and nodded, saying, “It’s my robe, although it’s a bit bigger, it should still be wearable.”
Zixi hurriedly stood up and tied her belt, biting her red lips tightly as she glared at Zhang Ruochen, saying, “Don’t you know that men and women are different?”
“Does it matter?”
Zhang Ruochen was slightly stunned and added: “Haven’t I already seen it before, I believe that you won’t mind, you’re not the kind of woman who is restricted to small details. At that time, I also saw that you were too badly injured, so, I first healed your wounds. After healing your wounds, I saw that you were not clothed, so I put on a new robe for you. Since your injuries have healed, if there is nothing else, I should also go about my business.”
After saying this, Zhang Ruochen walked towards the outside of the grotto, leaving Zixi standing in place somewhat dazed.
“I …… won’t mind?” As if she had heard the most intolerable words, Zixie lifted the Fish Intestine Sword in her sleeve on the stone bed and chased after Zhang Ruochen.
When she reached Chen Li Dao’s side, her eyes chilled and the Fish Intestine Sword in Sleeve flew out from her sleeve.
“Swish!”
The sword light flashed.
Chen Li Dao’s head was disconnected from his neck, completely turning him into a dead man.
Zixi chased out of the grotto and turned into a fragrant wind, stopping Zhang Ruochen’s path, pointing the tip of her sword at Zhang Ruochen and saying very seriously, “Zhang Ruochen, you must make things clear today, what do you mean I won’t mind?”
A puzzled look appeared in Zhang Ruochen’s eyes, and after pondering for a long time, he said, “Are all women so incomprehensible, I did it to save you, it’s not like I really want to see your body? Zixi, I treat you as a friend, that’s why I saved you. I can swear to the heavens that I really don’t have any intentions towards you.”
If it was any other man who said such bast*rd words, Zixi would have already stabbed a hundred bloody holes in his body.
But on the contrary, Zhang Ruochen’s eyes did not have a trace of mixed colours in them, and he was telling her in real terms that he only wanted to save her, and he did not have any other thoughts for her.
