“Since you’ve come to the Poison Spider Chamber of Commerce, don’t even think about escaping.”
Hua Qingshan smiled coldly and sorrowfully, his entire body’s true qi bulged up, a layer of purple qi appeared on the surface of his skin, his five fingers unfolded and he struck out with a palm.
“Vein Breaking Heart Shattering Palm!”
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes stared as he stirred the bloodline power within his body.
A Saint Grade Blood Formation with a diameter of nine metres coalesced under his feet, rushing up a red-coloured pillar of blood, wrapping Zhang Ruochen in the centre.
“Wow!”
The silhouettes of nine blood swords presented themselves in nine directions around Zhang Ruochen’s body, with the tips of the swords pointing downwards and spinning rapidly.
Zhang Ruochen’s fingertips pointed and the nine swords united, attacking towards Hua Qingshan.
“Boom!”
The sword energy and palm prints collided, and the two forces formed a hedge.
Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yichen were shaken by the powerful palm wind and flew backwards, shattering the railing and falling down the attic to the ground.
Hua Qingshan was also pierced through the palm of his hand by the powerful sword qi, and if he hadn’t stimulated the power of his bloodline in time to block the sword qi, it was estimated that his entire hand would have been ruined.
“Blood Condensation Nine Swords!”
Hua Qingshan’s eyes widened as he looked at the bloody palm, annoyed to the extreme, he chased after them, looking at Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yichen who were about to flee, and let out a cold laugh, “The periphery of this pavilion is decorated with confining formation inscriptions, it’s easy to enter the formation, but hard to exit. You guys can’t escape!”
Huang Yichen naturally knew the power of the confinement formation inscription better than anyone else and was very worried, reminding, “Zhang Ruochen, the confinement formation inscription is quite powerful, if you go in hard, you will probably be seriously injured by the formation.”
Hua Qingshan expected that Zhang Ruochen would definitely not be able to break the formation and wasn’t worried about them escaping, so he appeared calm and relaxed and laughed, “Your Highness, the Sheriff Lord, is right, this confining formation inscription can only be broken by a strong person of the Heavenly Extreme Realm. Kid, you were actually able to block my Vein Breaking Heart Shattering Palm, your natural talent is quite good, if you are willing to submit to me and become my slave, I can consider sparing your life.”
Zhang Ruochen stopped Huang Yichen’s savage waist with one hand and held the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword with the other, slanting a glance at Hua Qingshan, saying, “Is there no second way?”
“Of course there is!”
Hua Qingshan laughed and said, “If you hand over County Mistress Yanchen to me, kneel on the ground and kowtow to me three times, and then waste your own cultivation, I can also spare your life.”
“Then what if I choose the third path?” Zhang Ruochen said.
“There is no third path.” Hua Qingshan’s face sank as he said coldly.
“Now, I’ll walk out the third path to show you.”
Zhang Ruochen stepped on his feet and rushed towards the Imprisoning Array Inscription.
Huang Yichen’s face changed as her snow-white five fingers tightly gripped Zhang Ruochen’s chest, saying, “Are you crazy?”
“To actually want to go and break into the Forbidden Array Inscription, you really don’t know how to die.” Hua Qingshan smiled coldly, also feeling that Zhang Ruochen was looking for death.
Just as Zhang Ruochen rushed to the front of the Formation Confinement Inscription, he suddenly waved his arm, and a “giggling” sound resounded in the air.
The space in front of him cracked into a gap more than a foot long.
A violent whirlwind automatically formed around the space gap and began to absorb everything around it, including the air, stones, and inscriptions. ……
In just a split second, the spatial crack engulfed a large portion of the surrounding formation inscriptions, turning it into a formation void.
The spatial crack only appeared for a mere split second, and then immediately disappeared.
“Swish!”
Zhang Ruochen’s calculations were quite precise, and his speed did not slow down from start to finish as he rushed out from the location of the formation void.
“What?”
Hua Qingshan’s face changed, very confused as to what exactly Zhang Ruochen had used just now, and why a crack had appeared in the space?
“What exactly is the martial skill he is cultivating?”
Hua Qingshan was only shocked for a split second before he immediately reacted, and with a movement of his body, he turned into a stream of light and rushed out, passing through the formation void and chasing after Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen heard the sound of breaking wind behind him, and his heart slightly stared, “So fast.”
Hua Qingshan’s speed was indeed incredibly fast, reaching one hundred and sixty metres per second, and in a blink of an eye, he chased after Zhang Ruochen.
Trying to escape in front of an expert of this level was almost impossible.
With Zhang Ruochen’s current martial cultivation, even if he executed the Wind-Resisting Flying Dragon Shadow, his fastest speed was only one hundred and ten metres per second, the difference in speed was too great.
Rapid footsteps came from the front, the guards of the Poison Spider Chamber of Commerce had been startled and rushed over, there were hundreds of martial artists, completely surrounding Zhang Ruochen and his duo.
At least fifty of the guards, drew their ebony war bows, pointing a car-breaking arrow at Zhang Ruochen.
The other dozens of guards, holding long spears, blocked all the intersections to escape from the Poison Spider Chamber of Commerce.
In front of that group of guards, there stood two sturdy Earth Extreme Realm experts, the very same two attendants who had guarded Huang Yichen earlier.
“Kid, give up resisting! It’s impossible for you to escape, even if you escape the Poison Spider Chamber of Commerce, it’s impossible for you to escape from Earthfire City.” Hua Qingshan laughed.
“Release the arrows!”
One of the Earth Extreme Realm attendants immediately ordered Zhang Ruochen when she saw him charging over.
Dozens of Car Breaker Arrows, emitting a whistling sound, flew towards Zhang Ruochen as if they were a rain of arrows.
With the explosive power of the Car Breaker Arrows, even the protective true qi shield of an Earth Extreme Realm powerhouse could not possibly block them.
Zhang Ruochen was about to be killed by ten thousand arrows, but those car-breaking arrows that flew towards Zhang Ruochen all switched directions, and after rotating around Zhang Ruochen, they instead flew towards Hua Qingshan, who was chasing behind him.
Hua Qingshan looked at those arrows that switched directions and his eyes shrunk slightly, “That kid is really quite eccentric, could it be that he possesses the power to control space?”
Dozens of car-breaking arrows blocked Hua Qingshan for a breath of time.
In that one breath of time, Zhang Ruochen rushed into that group of guards and sent over a dozen of them flying.
“Looking for death!” A maid with Earth Extreme Realm cultivation attacked towards Zhang Ruochen.
Her arm, which was a circle thicker than even Zhang Ruochen’s thigh, emitted a silver light from her palm, as if it was a fleshly body forged from silver.
With a palm strike, the palm force directly connected to form a hurricane, like a black cloud pressing down towards Zhang Ruochen’s head.
“Poof!”
Zhang Ruochen swung his sword and broke the palm strike.
The sword qi chopped open the head of that one Earth Extreme Realm cultivation maid, leaving behind a line of blood.
That one Earth Extreme Realm attendant girl stopped in place at once, lost her breath, and collapsed to the ground with a bang.
Zhang Ruochen took out a Thunder Bead, injected it with True Qi, and threw it towards the group of guards.
“Boom!”
The thunder bead exploded, and a streak of lightning, surging out from the thunder bead, struck dozens of martial artists at the same time, causing them to fall straight down with their bodies scorched black and their clothes in rags.
When the lightning dispersed, Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yichen had already disappeared.
“They can’t escape, give chase immediately.”
Hua Qingshan’s face was grim as he took the lead in chasing after Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yichen based on the scent they left behind, and a few moments later, he chased after them out of the Poison Spider Chamber of Commerce.
Just after chasing out of the Poison Spider Chamber of Commerce, Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yichen’s scent disappeared.
Hua Qingshan stopped and looked around, but he couldn’t find Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yichen’s shadows at all, “How could this happen?”
“Young Lord, there is no one.”
“Young Lord, it’s like they disappeared out of thin air, vanishing without a trace.”
Those martial artists from the Poison Spider Chamber of Commerce rushed back and reported to Hua Qingshan.
Hua Qingshan squeezed his hands tightly and said in a cold and deep voice, “It’s impossible for them to escape from Earth Fire City, from now on, close down Earth Fire City, only allow them to come in, no one is allowed to go out, not a single fly should be let out.”
Huang Yichen was the county princess of the Thousand Water County Kingdom, and could be exchanged for a large amount of cultivation resources for the Poison Spider Chamber of Commerce, so it could be said that she was a strange commodity.
Now that she had been rescued, it was definitely a huge loss for the Poison Spider Chamber of Commerce.
If he couldn’t get Huang Yichen back, Hua Qingshan would also have to be heavily punished by the chamber’s senior management.
Hua Qingshan said, “Dispatch everyone out, even if we dig three feet into the ground, we have to find the two of them for someone.”
Hua Qingshan did not notice that just a few dozen feet away from him, a palm-sized black cat with a crystal stone hanging from its neck was strutting towards the distance.
After Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yichen escaped from the Poison Spider Chamber, they immediately entered the inner space of the Space-Time Crystal Stone. Then, Zhang Ruochen sent Little Black out again, allowing it to leave with the Space-Time Crystal Stone.
After all, Little Black was just a cat, and no one would put their attention on it.
“Little Blackie, rush to the city gates as fast as you can, and try to escape Earth Fire City before the city is sealed.” Zhang Ruochen merged his voice into his True Qi and transmitted it out of the Space-Time Crystal Stone, telling Little Black.
Xiao Hei looked at the closed city gates in the distance, only to see a formation inscription emerge, completely covering the gates, and said, “I’m afraid I’m still a step too late to escape!”
Not far from Xiao Hei, in an alley, the short and skinny Chang Qi Qi hid inside, also looking at the distant closed city gates, and cursed in a low voice, “It’s over!”
“Meow!”
A black cat stood at Chang Qi Qi’s feet, stretching out a huge head, staring at the city gates in the distance, also letting out a sigh.
Chang Qi Qi’s eyes lit up, stretching out a hand, he grabbed the small black cat on the ground, kneading it on the cat’s stomach for a while, and laughed, “It’s really strange that you can actually pick up a cat in Earth Fire City!”
Chang Qiqi kneaded it two more times, it was soft and warm.
Xiao Hei stared with a pair of eyes wide open, very un-concealed from Chang Qi Qi’s indiscriminate kneading on it, how to look at it all felt that his actions were very obscene.
“It seems that we can only hide in the Vermilion Bird Building first, hoping that the strong men from the Academy Palace will come as soon as possible.” Chang Qi Qi tucked Xiao Hei into his coat pocket, and with a short body, he turned into a residual shadow and rushed towards a busy section in Earth Fire City.
Inside the Space-Time Crystal Stone, Huang Yichen curiously surveyed the surroundings, quite certain that this was by no means the inner space of the Space Bracelet, as it was simply impossible for the inner space of the Space Bracelet to be so stable, and it was also impossible for it to have such a thick aura.
It could only mean that Zhang Ruochen had a real spatial treasure on his body, and they were now within that one spatial treasure.
“Zhang Ruochen, who the hell are you?” Huang Yichen endured his injuries, his pair of treasure blue eyes staring tightly at the young man standing in front of him, his eyes filled with doubts.
Huang Yichen had thought that she already knew Zhang Ruochen very well, but when she saw Zhang Ruochen fighting Hua Qingshan today, she realised that what she had seen before was only the tip of the iceberg of Zhang Ruochen.
How many more secrets were hidden in his body?
Zhang Ruochen removed the metal mask from his face, revealing a handsome and clear face, took out a jade bottle, poured out a healing elixir from it, and handed it to Huang Yichen, saying, “Nurture your injuries first!”
“I’m not injured …… er …… you tell me first …… who exactly are you, are you deliberately trying to get close to me? ” Blood spilled out of Huang Yichen’s mouth again, but he was still very stubborn, opening Zhang Ruochen’s hand, biting his lip, and staring at him with straight eyes.
A mere prince of a lowly county was able to possess so many unimaginable means? It was even able to control space.
She absolutely did not believe that Zhang Ruochen did not have another identity.
