“Good Zhang Ruochen’s speed that erupted just now reached at least seventy-six metres per second.” Chen Xi’er’s eyes became incomparably bright, her long eyelashes fluttering gently.
At the Xuan Extremity Realm, one could burst out with such a fast speed, once one breaks through to the Earth Extremity Realm, what’s more?
“It’s really unexpected that cousin has such an outstanding fiancé. With Zhang Ruochen’s natural talent, he might really be able to reach the Heavenly Extreme Realm before the age of thirty.”
“Were that the case, he even has a chance, to become a Half-Saint.”
Chen Xi’er gently pursed her lips and laughed, “Cousin, don’t blame me for being too greedy, I only blame my cousin’s husband for being too outstanding. Hehe!”
Chen Xi’er had already made up her mind to snatch Zhang Ruochen away from Huang Yichen’s hands.
Right now, Huang Yichen and Zhang Ruochen being at odds was a perfect opportunity.
Within a few moments, Zhang Ruochen and Yue Qianfan exchanged more than ten moves in a row, both their punches and palms were fast to the extreme, and it was hard to tell the winner from the loser.
Yue Qianfan’s punches were fierce and overbearing. Each punch had the power to open up monuments and crack rocks, and just a single punch wind struck out, breaking a bowl-thick tree ten metres away.
With Zhang Ruochen’s current cultivation, if he were to be struck by one of his punches, even if he did not die, he would be seriously injured.
“Qi Swallowing Mountains and Rivers!”
Yue Qianfan struck out the Spirit Grade Lower Grade Fist Technique “Zhen Qi Fist”, his arm was like a long dragon, his true qi surged out of his fist and struck Zhang Ruochen’s face.
“Dragon Elephant Nine Stacks!”
Zhang Ruochen couldn’t dodge it, so he could only touch it hard.
He struck out five palms in a row, five palm imprints, overlapping each other, erupting with five times the power, clashing with the fist struck by Yue Qianfan.
“Boom!”
Zhang Ruochen and Yue Qianfan flew backwards at the same time.
Yue Qianfan only felt his arm burning with pain, half of his body became numb, and even the true qi in his body was a bit unruly.
“How could a Xuanji Realm martial artist be so powerful?”
Under normal circumstances, fighting across one realm would already be quite remarkable, and be called a “One Extreme Genius”.
There were also so many martial artists who fought across two realms in the Inner Palace Academy of the Martial City Academy. For example, Xun Guihai and Chen Xi’er, geniuses of their calibre were called “two great geniuses”.
A martial artist who fought across three realms was even rarer, and only the “Ten Heavenly Demons” could do so, and were known as “Three Extreme Geniuses”.
Generally speaking, the Three Great Geniuses were able to enter the top ten of the Xuan Ranking at the Xuanji Realm.
For example, Huang Yichen and Duanmu Xingling were basically in between the Second Jie Genius and the Third Jie Genius, and as long as they were able to obtain a chance, they would have a chance to become a Third Jie Genius.
However, Zhang Ruochen was able to fight across four realms, could it be that his talent was even higher than the Ten Heavenly Demons and had reached the level of a Four Great Genius?
Zuo Lengxuan, who was standing at the side, was also quite surprised, not expecting that Zhang Ruochen would be able to fight with Yue Qianfan for so long.
According to his expectation, with Yue Qianfan’s time, it would only take at most three moves to knock Zhang Ruochen to the ground.
“Zhang Ruochen is really powerful, he is at least a Third Jie Genius, and may even have reached the level of a Fourth Jie Genius. What a damned thing, could it be that Senior Sister Chen is looking at his talent potential and that’s why she’s so close to him?”
A strong sense of crisis arose in Zuo Lengxuan’s heart, if he wasn’t in the Martial City Palace, he would even want to kill Zhang Ruochen in order to prevent future troubles.
“I just don’t believe that he is really that strong.”
Yue Qianfan clenched his teeth and mobilised his entire body’s true qi, rotating around his body to form a huge vortex of true qi.
“Mighty Shock!”
Yue Qianfan punched out, and the true qi vortex followed and surged out.
Within the vortex, a huge fist shadow appeared, emitting a sound like the roar of a giant beast.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t want to tangle with Yue Qianfan any longer, and with a stretch of his arm, the fallen leaves on the ground flew up and hovered around Zhang Ruochen’s body.
The leaves were wrapped in true qi and became incomparably sharp, spinning rapidly.
“Break!”
Zhang Ruochen’s palm pushed forward and hundreds of leaves, like flying rain, shot towards Yue Qianfan**.
“Boom!”
The fist shadow shattered.
The vortex around Yue Qianfan’s body was broken in an instant.
Dozens of leaves, pierced into Yue Qianfan’s body, cutting out dozens of blood marks. The powerful impact caused Yue Qianfan to fly backwards and fall tens of metres away.
Yue Qianfan’s body trembled as he let out a heart-rending scream.
“How dare you injure an Inner Palace student, Zhang Ruochen, how dare you, I’m going to waste your cultivation.”
Zuo Lengxuan finally found an excuse to explode with extreme speed, stretching out a finger and striking at the Heavenly Heart Vein behind Zhang Ruochen.
If the Heavenly Heart Vein was shattered, then Zhang Ruochen’s cultivation would be completely ruined.
Zhang Ruochen felt an unprecedented crisis as the strength of Zuo Lengxuan’s fingertip felt like it was going to pierce through his body.
“What a terrifying power!” Cold sweat broke out on Zhang Ruochen’s back as he exerted his speed to the extreme.
Zuo Lengxuan’s martial cultivation had reached the Earth Extremity Realm Great Extremity Position, and he was another absolute genius, even an ordinary Earth Extremity Realm Great Circle martial artist might not be his opponent.
In a flash of lightning, Zuo Lengxuan’s finger had already pointed at Zhang Ruochen’s back.
The Earth Extremity Realm Great Extremity against the Xuan Extremity Realm Great Circle was simply a battle without any suspense.
“Haha! Zhang Ruochen, after your martial cultivation is ruined, Senior Sister Chen will naturally not be able to look at you!”
Zuo Lengxuan was very confident in his strike, a single finger from a mere Xuanji Realm Grand Circle Outer Palace disciple was enough to suppress him.
Seeing that Zhang Ruochen’s Heavenly Heart Vein was about to be shattered by Zuo Lengxuan, all of a sudden, behind Zhang Ruochen, the air looked like it had turned into a curtain of water, and a circle of ripples appeared.
Space, distorted.
Zuo Lengxuan’s finger slightly shifted its direction and struck Zhang Ruochen’s left shoulder.
“Pfft!”
Zhang Ruochen’s left shoulder was in pain, blood light appeared, and a bloody hole was made by the strength of Zuo Lengchan’s finger tip.
Zhang Ruochen clenched his teeth and lunged forward, pulling away from Zuo Lengxuan by more than ten feet.
“So close! Fortunately, I was able to use the spatial domain to avoid the vitals, otherwise, that finger of Zuo Lengxuan’s just now would have been enough to waste my cultivation.”
A cold colour appeared in Zhang Ruochen’s eyes as he glared fiercely at Zuo Lengxuan, “Senior Brother Zuo, if you are not a renowned big shot in the Inner Palace Academy, why did you also step in to deal with me, an Outer Palace disciple?”
Zuo Lengxuan retracted his finger, his heart was a bit astonished, that finger just now, clearly could have nullified Zhang Ruochen’s cultivation, why was he able to escape?
“Perhaps he has cultivated some kind of shape shifting martial art.”
Zuo Lengxuan simply didn’t believe that Zhang Ruochen was able to distort space, so he didn’t think in that direction.
Zuo Lengxuan said, “Zhang Ruochen, you injured the Inner Palace disciples and caused fellow disciples to fight each other, can’t I still abolish your cultivation?”
Just as Zuo Lengxuan was about to strike again, Chen Xi’er, who had transformed into a beautiful shadow, rushed from afar and chided, saying, “Zuo Lengxuan, you are at least an Inner Palace disciple, don’t you feel ashamed of yourself for dealing with an Outer Palace disciple in such a manner?”
Seeing Chen Xi’er, Zuo Lengxuan had to withdraw his true qi and said, “Senior Sister Chen, it was Zhang Ruochen who first seriously injured Senior Disciple Yue, and only then did I have to step in to teach him a lesson.”
Chen Xi’er swept over to Zhang Ruochen’s side and stopped, puffing out her chest as she coldly said, “Yue Qianfan is at the late stage of the Earthly Extreme Realm, so Zhang Ruochen is just an Outer Palace Disciple, how could he injure him? Besides, even if Zhang Ruochen had injured Yue Qianfan, it would only be Yue Qianfan’s fault for not learning his art well. For an Inner Palace disciple to lose at the hands of an Outer Palace disciple would have been a disgrace to our Inner Palace disciples.”
When Zuo Lengxuan saw Chen Xi’er defending Zhang Ruochen, he became very irritated in his heart and clenched his fists, wanting to crush Zhang Ruochen into pieces.
However, he had to hold back the anger in his heart and clenched his teeth, “Senior Sister Chen is right in her lesson, I was too reckless this time. Let’s go!”
Zhao Minggong helped the severely injured Yue Qianfan up and followed behind Zuo Lengxuan, leaving the place.
After Zuo Lengxuan and the others left, Chen Xi’er then immediately supported the injured Zhang Ruochen and said with concern, “Senior Brother Zhang, is your injury alright?”
“It’s just a small injury, it’s not a problem.” Zhang Ruochen smiled and shook his head, then added: “Senior Sister Chen, didn’t you leave for something, why are you back again?”
“I heard that Zuo Lengxuan was going to deal with you, so I immediately rushed back, just in case Zuo Lengxuan was unfavourable to you. Luckily I arrived in time, if I had been one step later, the consequences would have been unimaginable.” Chen Xi’er said.
“Thanks again, Senior Sister Chen, this time, count me as owing you a favour.” Zhang Ruochen said.
If Chen Xi’er hadn’t rushed back in time, with Zhang Ruochen’s current cultivation, he would definitely be no match for Zuo Lengxuan, and even the hope of escaping would be very slim.
Of course, Zhang Ruochen was not completely without a way to save his life, and if he really couldn’t, he could still hide in the Space-Time Crystal Stone. Zhang Ruochen did not want to expose the Space-Time Crystal Stone until it was absolutely necessary.
Chen Xi’er’s heart was overjoyed, letting Zhang Ruochen owe her a favour, and in the future, she was still afraid that Zhang Ruochen would escape from her?
Chen Xi’er took out a small jade bottle and poured out a green-coloured elixir from it, twisting the elixir with her two snow-white slender fingers and said, “This is a fourth grade healing elixir, the White Bone Breeding Elixir, and it is to be consumed now.”
“Fourth Grade Healing Pill ……,” Zhang Ruochen shook his head and said, “My injuries aren’t that serious, taking a Fourth Grade Healing Pill is too wasteful, I have other healing pills.”
A fourth grade healing elixir was worth hundreds of thousands of silver coins. This was not a small amount of money, and Zhang Ruochen did not want to owe her a second favour.
Chen Xi’er’s almond eyes glared, and she said with some displeasure: “Senior Brother is not going to Tong Sheng Mountain for cultivation, so naturally, you need to get well as soon as possible, as long as you take this White Bone Born Muscle Pill, your injuries will be healed within an hour.”
The hospitality was overwhelming, so Zhang Ruochen no longer refused and said with a bitter smile, “Alright then! I’ll do it myself!”
Chen Xi’er shook her head and placed the elixir to the lips of Zheng so, actually feeding Zhang Ruochen the elixir personally.
Zhang Ruochen had never been cared for so much by anyone before, and even more so, he had never had anyone take the initiative to feed him an elixir before, in the end, he swallowed the elixir between Chen Xi’er’s jade fingers, closed his eyes, and stood in place, quickly refining the elixir.
In the distance, behind a maple tree.
“The situation isn’t good! That one cousin of Huang Yichen’s is clearly trying to attack Zhang Ruochen and take him for herself. To even rob her own cousin’s fiancé, that woman is really something.” Little Black said.
Duanmu Xingling, who had arrived at the fastest speed possible, also frowned slightly when she saw Zhang Ruochen and Chen Xi’er, who were standing in the distance, saying, “With Zhang Ruochen’s natural talent, there are indeed quite a number of women who are secretly in love with him. However, Chen Xi’er is the daughter of the Grand Palace Master, her status is far beyond the norm, so she could have had a better choice, so why did she chase Zhang Ruochen backwards?”
“There is only one possibility, and that is, she is deliberately trying to steal Huang Yichen’s fiancé.” Little Black laughed, “If I were Zhang Ruochen, it would be a waste not to eat the meat that was delivered to my door.”
Little Black and Duanmu Xingling had a good relationship, and when it saw that Zhang Ruochen was in danger, it immediately went to tell Duanmu Xingling. That was why they saw the scene just now.
“You’re just a cat, why are your thoughts so disgusting?” Duanmu Xingling rolled her eyes and twisted Xiao Hei’s ears, dragging it away and travelling towards Huang Yichen’s secret cultivation mansion.
She felt that it was necessary to tell Huang Yichen about this matter. After all, she also hated Chen Xi’er.
