The two powerful palm forces impacted together with a deafening roar.
Cold ice energy and lightning power erupted from Zhang Ruochen’s palm force as if it were a mountain of mountains, surging furiously towards Xun Guihai.
A superposition of five times the power.
“Boom!”
Xun Guihai once again flew backwards, crashing through the railing and crashing down to the ground floor of the Near Sky Pavilion, smashing a table and falling to the ground in great distress.
The surrounding martial artists immediately retreated far away.
Zhang Ruochen retreated backward seven steps in a row, unloading all of the palm force Xun Guihai had struck into the air, appearing to be breezy.
“Let’s go!”
Zhang Ruochen brought that one Peac*ck Demi-Human Head Eater girl with him, walking down the stairs step by step without looking back from the beginning to the end, and was about to leave the Near Sky Pavilion with Zhang Shaochu, Liu Xifeng, and Zixi.
Those martial artists in the Near Sky Pavilion, all of them had been subdued.
If Zhang Ruochen had defeated Xun Huihai for the first time, it was just an accident and was not considered true strength.
However, the second time, Xun Guihai had even unleashed his own mastery, the “Tong Belly Palm”, yet he still lost.
It could only mean that Zhang Ruochen was truly stronger than Xun Huihai.
“With Xun Guihai’s current strength, even Yan Lixuan, the number one in the Xuan Ranking, is by no means a match for him. If Zhang Ruochen was able to defeat Xun Guihai, doesn’t it mean that Zhang Ruochen’s strength is already even more powerful than the number one on the Xuan Ranking, Yan Lixuan?”
“Zhang Tiangui, the number one heavenly pride of the 36 counties of the Heavenly Demon Ridge, at the Xuan Extreme Realm, has only reached the third in the Xuan Ranking at most. Could it be that Zhang Ruochen is even more gifted than Zhang Tiangui?”
“Zhang Ruochen must have already reached the Earth Extreme Realm, otherwise, it is absolutely impossible for him to be so powerful.”
On the first floor of the Near Sky Pavilion, a highly respected martial dao senior stared at Zhang Ruochen and said thoughtfully, “Zhang Ruochen hasn’t broken through the Earth Extremity Realm yet, he hasn’t cultivated the Qi Sea yet.”
That one Martial Dao Senior’s words were undoubtedly a dose of fierce material, causing all the martial artists in the entire Near Sky Pavilion to boil.
Zhang Ruochen already possessed the strength of number one in the Xuan Ranking?
Such a heavenly pride, in the Heavenly Demon Ridge’s thirty-six counties, it would be difficult to produce one even in a hundred years.
“Zhang Ruochen’s cultivation, even if he hasn’t reached the Supreme Extreme Realm of the Xuan Extreme Realm, it’s probably not far off.” That one martial arts senior, let loose another dose of fierce material.
“Boom!”
Supreme Extreme Realm of the Xuanji Realm?
Everyone couldn’t remain calm and looked towards Zhang Ruochen once again, the look in their eyes no longer one of ridicule, but one of admiration and admiration.
Since ancient times, the Supreme Extreme Realm was a legend.
Could it be that Zhang Ruochen had really reached that legendary realm?
At this moment, no one was talking about Zhang Ruochen’s fight with Ximen Guanren for the Head Eating Girl, everyone was discussing, Zhang Ruochen’s strength, what step had he reached?
Third floor, elegant room.
All of those geniuses and juniors were a little lost in thought, feeling shocked.
They now finally understood why Huang Yichen had taken a fancy to Zhang Ruochen, with Zhang Ruochen’s such a heaven-defying cultivation talent, how many of them could be found in the entire Heavenly Demon Ridge’s thirty-six counties?
Huang Yichen naturally understood Zhang Ruochen’s strength better than they did, and knew that Zhang Ruochen had reached the Supreme Extremity Realm at the Yellow Extremity Realm, and that there was no one in the Heavenly Demon Ridge Thirty-Six Counties Country who could be compared to Zhang Ruochen.
Chen Xi’er stood beside Huang Yichen, standing in a pavilion as if she was a beauty who had stepped out of a painting, her pair of beautiful eyes were as if they contained smoke as she stared at the departing Zhang Ruochen and laughed, ”Cousin, I think that with Zhang Ruochen’s talent, he doesn’t even need to spend a lot of money to compete for a Head Eater girl. He and Ximen Guanren should just be fighting out of spite and not really interested in that one Head Eater girl.”
“So what?” Huang Yichen still looked icy cold, his eyes staring at Zhang Ruochen’s back.
Huang Yichen knew very well that Zhang Ruochen was frank in his actions and would not deliberately lie. What Zhang Ruochen had said earlier should all be the truth, he was helping Zhang Shaochu to auction and buy that one Head Eater girl.
However, if Huang Yichen was asked to apologise to Zhang Ruochen in front of so many martial artists, Huang Yichen couldn’t do it no matter what. Her heart was very proud and she simply couldn’t let go of her face.
“After this matter has passed, I’ll go talk to him alone.” Huang Yichen’s mind thought so.
When Chen Xi’er saw that Huang Yichen didn’t go after Zhang Ruochen, a strange lustre appeared in her eyes.
Asking Chen Xi’er to go after a fiancé who was even better than Zhang Ruochen was something she found to be quite difficult. Why not just steal her cousin’s fiancé?
……
That one Head Eater girl was worth a total of four million silver coins, while Zhang Ruochen only had a little over a million silver coins on him. Fortunately, in Tian Yue Building, one could use cultivation resources and exchange them for silver coins.
Thus, Zhang Ruochen took out one million silver coins, along with six drops of Half-Saint True Liquid, and paid it to Sky Moon Building. Afterwards, he took that one Head Eater girl and left the Heavenly Moon Mansion.
A drop of Half Saint True Liquid was worth half a million silver coins.
Zhang Ruochen was now the number one in the West Courtyard, and he could receive ten drops of Half-Saint True Liquid every quarter. Right now, he still had fourteen drops of Half Saint True Liquid on him.
Zhang Shaochu looked very guilty and said, ”Ninth Brother, Fourth Brother is sorry, I didn’t know that a small matter would cause such a big misunderstanding between you and Smoky Dust County Lord. I will now go and tell the truth to County Mistress Smoky Dust, even if she makes me kneel down and admit my mistake, I will still make the truth clear.”
Leaving Tian Yue Building, Zhang Ruochen’s mood gradually calmed down as he said, “Fourth Brother, the fault for this matter doesn’t lie with you, in fact, I’m also at fault. As for County Lord Smokey’s side, I don’t think I need to go and explain anything to her. If she is still willing to be friends with me, she will definitely come to me again. At that time, I will definitely tell her what happened.”
Zhang Shaochu still felt quite uneasy, thinking that he had made a big trouble.
If his father knew that it was because of him that the relationship between the Ninth Brother and the Smoke Dust County Mistress was broken, he would definitely not be able to spare him.
Zhang Ruochen glanced towards that one Head Food girl and asked, “What is your name?”
From the moment she stepped out of the Heavenly Moon Building, that one Head Food Girl had been staring at Zhang Ruochen with a very adoring look, her beautiful eyes glowing with a strange lustre.
If we were to talk about beauty alone, her face and figure were no less than Zi Xie’s or Huang Yixian’s almost, with an appearance that was pathetic and soft.
She lowered her head and softly said, “Back to Your Excellency, my name is Kong Xuan.”
Zhang Ruochen nodded and said, “In the future, you will follow Fourth Brother ……”
“No!” Zhang Shaochu immediately shook his head and begged, “Ninth Brother, you must not give her to me, count it as Fourth Brother begging once more. If Father knows about this, he will definitely kill her and then he will also punish me heavily.”
If he was able to auction off the Head Food Girl in a calm and peaceful manner, Zhang Shaochu would naturally accept that one Head Food Girl gladly.
However, right now, everyone knew that because of that one Head Food Girl, it caused a conflict between the Smoky Dust County Mistress and Zhang Ruochen. The news would definitely travel back to the Yunwu County Kingdom’s Royal City very quickly, and the Yunwu County King would be the first to know about it.
If the Yunwu County King knew that it was because of Zhang Shaochu that the conflict between Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yichen was caused, the Yunwu County King would definitely send someone to execute Kong Xuan and heavily punish Zhang Shaochu in the first instance.
“This matter is indeed very difficult to deal with!”
Zhang Ruochen understood the worries in Zhang Shaochu’s heart, and after contemplating for a moment, he once again looked over towards Kong Xuan, took out the deed of sale, and directly tore it into shreds, saying, “Kong Xuan, you’re free! Right now, you can leave!”
Kong Xuan immediately knelt on the ground and shook his head vigorously, saying with great fear, “My lord, please, you must not drive me away. Even if I were to gain my freedom now, it would be impossible for me to escape out of the Heavenly Demon Martial City, and I would soon be captured again, and bought to the Heavenly Moon Tower, or the black market once more.”
A beautiful woman like her, but without strong strength or a deep background, it was indeed difficult to gain true freedom.
Being sold to the Heavenly Moon Tower was already considered a rather good ending.
If she was sold to the black market, that would be truly tragic.
Zhang Ruochen also found it rather difficult to do so, and could not return her back to Heavenly Moon Tower?
“Since that’s the case, then you can temporarily follow me and be my maid.” Zhang Ruochen said.
Kong Xuan cried with joy and said, “Thank you, Your Excellency, thank you.”
“Get up!” Zhang Ruochen said.
A few worried looks appeared on Liu Xifeng’s face as he said, “Eldest Senior Brother, Xun Guihai will definitely not be willing to lose face after losing to you. I’m worried that he will take the risk and send assassins to assassinate you.”
Zhang Shaochu also nodded and said, “There’s also Lin Chenyu and Lin Mishan, they Lin family members have always despised you, and now that they see you rising strongly, they definitely won’t sit back and wait for death.”
Zhang Ruochen said, “Your worries are not unreasonable. Since this is the case, I will temporarily live in Sky Demon Martial City. As long as I’m still in Sky Demon Martial City, they won’t dare to kill me blatantly.”
Zhang Ruochen was the first genius of the Western Academy of the Martial City Palace, who would dare to blatantly kill him right?
“It’s easy to hide from open fire, but it’s hard to guard against secret arrows. I suggest, Eldest Brother, you can stay at my father’s residence, with my Lord Father in attendance, who can kill you?” Liu Xifeng said.
“Alright! Since that’s the case, then we can only go and disturb Senior Liu.” Zhang Ruochen said.
Liu Xifeng laughed, “My father’s life was saved by you. If you go to his residence for a temporary stay, he won’t be happy enough.”
Under Liu Xifeng’s leadership, Zhang Ruochen and the others, travelled towards Liu Chuan Shen’s mansion.
Having made too much of a splash at the Heavenly Moon Building, he would surely be met with a lot of cynicism.
Zhang Ruochen’s heart had already made the intention that if his cultivation did not reach the Earth Extreme Realm, he would definitely not be able to leave the Heavenly Demon Martial City.
……
Xun Guihai walked out from the Heavenly Moon Building, only feeling the pain in his internal organs, his heart was incomparably stifled.
Ever since he was a child, he had been a top genius, sought after by countless people. Today, yet he lost in the hands of an outer palace disciple, losing face.
In the future, how could he still hold his head up as a human being?
“Zhang Ruochen, if I don’t kill you, I’ll swear not to be a man!” Xun Guihai disregarded any image and roared angrily.
A martial artist rushed over from afar and half-kneeled in front of Xun Guihai, saying, “Reporting back to master, Zhang Ruochen went to Liu Chuan Shen’s residence.”
“He thinks that I can’t do anything about him if he hides in Liu Chuan Shen’s mansion?”
Xun Guihai’s face twisted a bit and became very fierce as he added, “Immediately ask Father to mobilise 20 million silver coins for me, I will spend a heavy amount of money and put a bounty on Zhang Ruochen’s head. If Zhang Ruochen doesn’t die, I will never be able to get out of this world.”
