In the Martial Market Fighting Arena, although the sounds were very noisy, there were still many martial arts experts who heard Zhang Ruochen’s words and sensed that something was wrong.
“That person on the battle stage isn’t Huang Li?”
“How could it be? It clearly looks exactly the same as Huang Li, it can’t be fake.”
A disciple of the Yuntai Sect House sneered and said, “It’s obvious that Zhang Ruochen can’t defeat Huang Li, that’s why he purposely said that. Everyone ignore him, that person is Huang Li, I am a fellow disciple with him and would never mistake him.”
Although all of the disciples of the Yuntai Sect Mansion claimed that the person on the battle stage must be Huang Li, the strength Huang Li displayed was getting stronger and stronger. Even the Second Jie geniuses might not be able to reach the heights he did.
“Eldest senior brother, what now? Huang Li simply cannot be this strong, if the battle continues, Senior Brother Zhang will definitely die.” Chang Qi Qi said with some worry.
Zhang Ruochen was, after all, the top genius of the Martial City Academic Palace, if he really died tragically in the Martial City Fighting Arena due to the conspiracy of the Yuntai Sect House, it would definitely be a huge loss for the Martial City Academic Palace.
Zuo Lengxuan stood on the side and said in a cold voice, ”They both signed a life and death contract, they need to fight absolutely fairly, if we just arbitrarily meddle in without evidence, we will definitely be ridiculed by the world. After all, the Martial Market Fighting Arena is the property of our Martial Market Chambers, we ourselves must not just break the rules.”
Chang Qi Qi glared over angrily, saying, “Zuo Lengxuan, are you still a student of the Martial City Academy Palace or not, what if it really was a conspiracy by the Yuntai Zongfu that allowed Senior Brother Zhang to die on the battle stage?”
Zuo Lengxuan said, “All I know is that the person on the battle stage is indeed Huang Li, there is no way it could be false. Because, I have seen Huang Li before and know what he looks like.”
The battle on the battle stage was getting more and more treacherous, and the strength Huang Li displayed was getting stronger and stronger, having long since surpassed the strength of a mid Earth Extremity realm martial artist.
With each slash, the power that erupted seemed to increase by a few points.
Many people had become worried for Zhang Ruochen, yet they were in the way of the rules of the Martial Market Fighting Arena, and simply did not dare to rush out to help.
What now?
“Giggle!”
The blade light slashed through Zhang Ruochen’s chest, cutting open the martial robe on Zhang Ruochen’s body, revealing the Ice Fire Qilin Armour that he wore inside. The tip of the blade and the Ice Fire Qilin Armour gently touched, sending out a large spark.
Zhang Ruochen immediately fell backwards, glancing towards his chest as he once again asked in a deep voice, “Your cultivation has reached the Earth Extremity Realm Grand Circle, who the hell are you?”
“You can tell my cultivation level?” Huang Li was slightly surprised.
Huang Li thought that he had concealed himself very well, and even a Heavenly Extreme Realm Martial Myth might not be able to tell his true cultivation realm.
However, he didn’t know that Zhang Ruochen’s mental power and eye power were even more powerful than the Heavenly Extreme Realm’s Martial Dao Myths, so it was naturally easy to see through his true cultivation.
It gave Zhang Ruochen the feeling that Huang Li’s strength was by no means below that of the Poison Spider Young Lord. Other than Zhang Tiangui and Han Qiu, it was simply impossible for the young generation of the Yuntai Zongfu to have such a strong person.
Could it be an evil expert from the Black Market or the Moon Worshipping Demon Sect?
After a short pause, Huang Li attacked Zhang Ruochen again, immediately strengthening a few more points.
Zixi, who was standing amongst the students of the Martial City Palace, stared tightly at Huang Li on the battle stage, biting her lips tightly as she hesitated for a long time, and in the end, it was as if she had made a difficult decision.
A look of absolute determination appeared in her eyes as she said, ”That person is indeed not Huang Li, it should be an assassin from the Hellmouth Sect. The top assassins of the Hellmouth Sect can cultivate the martial skill ‘Silkworm Butterfly Technique’ of moving muscles and bones to change their appearance.”
Chen Xi’er stood up boldly, her gaze fixed on Zixi, saying, “You said that that one Huang Li is an assassin of the Earth’s Mansion Sect? What proof is there?”
Zuo Lengxuan’s gaze stared coldly and sorrowfully towards Zixi, saying, “How ridiculous, even we don’t know that the Earthly Palace Sect has a martial art of moving tendons and shrinking bones, and you’re just a mere Outer Palace trainee, how do you know? Silkworm Butterfly Technique? Never heard of it.”
“You haven’t heard of it, that’s because only the top killers of the Hellmouth Sect are qualified to cultivate the Silkworm Butterfly Technique. You can enter as a butterfly and retreat as a silkworm. Silkworms and butterflies are of the same species, yet they are alien. Once you practice the Silkworm Butterfly Technique, your bones, muscles, and meridians can all move, and you can instantly become another person. I’m sure that Huang Li on the battle stage is actually the young master of the Hellmouth Sect, Purple Yin Yang. In the younger generation of the Earth Mansion Sect, he is the only one who has cultivated the Silkworm Butterfly Technique.”
When Zixi had said that that person was the top assassin of the Earth Mansion Sect, Zi Yin Yang, she had actually prepared in her heart that her identity would probably be revealed, and that she might even die in the Martial Market Fighting Arena.
Yet she had no choice but to say it, only then would they believe it. Otherwise, Zhang Ruochen on the battle stage would be in danger of losing his life.
Zi Xi continued, “Eldest Brother, Senior Sister Chen, please believe me, the Huang Li on the battle stage is definitely Zi Yin Yang. His purpose is to kill Zhang Ruochen on the battle stage, so that he can obtain a huge bounty and also stir up conflict between the Yuntai Sect House and the Martial City Academy.”
Si Xingkong and Chen Xi’er glanced at each other and nodded at the same time.
Si Xingkong immediately rushed over in the direction of the battle platform and shouted, “Close the formation on the battle platform, that person isn’t Huang Li, but a top assassin from the Hellmouth Sect.”
As Si Xingkong rushed towards the battle platform, Chen Xi’er stared Avray at Zixi and signalled to the two Inner Palace trainees, saying, “Watch her, don’t let her escape.”
How smart was Chen Xi’er, how could she not be suspicious in her heart when an outer palace trainee was actually so familiar with the Hellmouth?
No matter what reason Zixi had for revealing the secret about the Silkworm Butterfly Technique, she absolutely could not let her escape now.
On the battle stage, Huang Li glanced towards Si Xingkong at the bottom of the battle stage and let out a cold smile, ”Already discovered? Since that’s the case, then the only way is to rush to kill Zhang Ruochen before the formation closes.”
Huang Li’s gaze was fixed on Zhang Ruochen, a cold murderous aura appeared in his eyes, his body’s aura skyrocketed tenfold, the skin on his body looked like it was cracking, his body grew more than a foot taller, his arms widened, and his face became more rigid.
“Huang Li’s appearance changed drastically, no longer the original appearance, completely turned into another person.
Until this moment, those trainees from the Martial City Palace finally believed Zixi’s words.
“Zhang Ruochen, thirty-seventh on the Bounty List, this young master wants your head! Huang Li” laughed loudly, carrying the Green Dragon Stranger Sword and swung it towards Zhang Ruochen.
This blade was many times more powerful than before!
If Zhang Ruochen was really only at the Xuanji Realm’s Great Circle cultivation, it could be said that he would definitely die.
Someone in the spectator seat recognised his identity and exclaimed, “He is one of the seven great experts of the younger generation of the Black Market, the young master of the Hellmouth Sect, Violet Yin Yang.”
“It’s really Purple Yin Yang, this is bad!”
Huang Yichen stared intently in the direction of the battle stage, his heart worried about Zhang Ruochen’s safety, he immediately ordered, “Old Xuan, quickly go save Zhang Ruochen, we must not let him die in the hands of Violet Yin Yang.”
The white-haired crone standing behind Huang Yichen immediately rushed out, her originally stooped and old body erupting with a powerful and unrivalled aura, striking the formation inscription on the battle stage with a single punch.
“The battle of the juniors, why should the strongest of the older generation interfere in it?” A loud voice rang out like a muffled thunderclap, shaking the ground.
Right at this moment, a dark shadow flashed out of the air, wearing a ghost pattern mask, standing at the edge of the fighting arena, and struck out with a palm.
“Boom!”
The two Heavenly Extremity Realm Martial Myths collided with each other in a strike, causing violent fluctuations in true qi.
In the middle of the martial market’s fighting arena, an unknown number of martial artists were lifted off by the powerful astral wind and crashed into the top of the walls in pieces.
After that one black-robed man wearing a ghost pattern mask knocked Feng Xuan back, he let out a cold laugh, infused his true qi into his voice, and said aloud, “Martial practitioners of the Black Market, why don’t you immediately make your move to decimate the young disciples of the Yuntai Sect Mansion and the Martial City School Palace.”
“Boom!”
Upon hearing the voice of the black-clothed man, the Black Market martial artists who were originally hiding in the spectator seats immediately took out their battle weapons and attacked the disciples of the Cloud Platform Sect Mansion and the Martial City Academy Palace.
Feng Xuan stood ten feet away from the platform and stared at that one black-clothed man, his voice hoarse as he asked, “Who are you?”
That one black-robed man wearing a ghost pattern mask, with his hands behind his back and a chilling aura emanating from his body, laughed out loud, “I am the new president of the Black Market, and I am now in charge of all the affairs of the Black Market in the Yunwu County Kingdom. You alone are no match for me, tell Song Gui to come out as well! Today, I want to know just how strong the ‘Xuan Gui Duo’ is?”
“The old body alone is enough to defeat you.”
Feng Xuan’s body moved out horizontally with a speed that exceeded the speed of sound, and in an instant, she rushed in front of the Black Market Chairman and threw a long punch.
Who would have thought that a withered wood-like old man would actually be able to burst out with such a powerful force?
“The venue here is too small, let’s go outside for a battle.”
“Boom!”
The Black Market President’s paw stomped on the ground, and like a cannonball, he shot up into the sky, directly breaking through the top of the Martial Market Fighting Arena and flying out.
Feng Xuan also executed her body technique and immediately chased after him.
For this operation, the black market experts came out in full force, just the Heavenly Extremity Realm Martial Myths arrived at three, and the Earthly Extremity Realm and Xuan Extremity Realm Evil Dao experts were countless.
Si Xingkong and one of the Heavenly Extremity Realm assassins from the Earth Sect were battling together, and had also fought out of the Martial Market’s fighting arena, battling elsewhere, and all that could be heard was an ear-splitting roar.
A Heavenly Extremity Realm Martial Myth exchanged blows with astonishing destructive power that could crush an Earth Extremity Realm martial artist. Only an existence of Si Xingkong’s level would be able to fight a Heavenly Extremity Realm Martial Dao Myth.
Hua Ming Gong, the chief leader of the Poison Spider Chamber of Commerce, also appeared in the martial market fighting arena and wanted to capture Huang Yichen again, but was blocked by Song Gui, who was guarding Huang Yichen’s side.
“Hua Ming Gong, you still dare to go against my county princess, today, I will definitely behead you.” Song Gui said.
Hua Ming Gong laughed, “The experts of the Black Market and the Moon Worshipping Demon Sect are all out, can you block them?”
The two Heavenly Extreme Realm powerhouses, Song Gui and Hua Ming Gong, also battled and fought together. A moment later, they shattered a wall and rushed out at the same time.
The entire Martial City Fighting Battle was a chaotic mess of killing sounds.
The formation on the battle stage had already been closed, but Zi Yin Yang was still biting at Zhang Ruochen, chasing after him, constantly waving his sword and chopping out, aiming to take Zhang Ruochen’s life.
Purple Yin Yang’s martial arts cultivation was comparable to Poison Spider Young Master Hua Qingshan, but in terms of killing techniques, Purple Yin Yang was even more adept than Hua Qingshan, his moves were deadly, and he simply did not give Zhang Ruochen any chance to survive.
Zhang Ruochen unleashed his Spatial Domain and continuously performed the body technique of Royal Wind Flying Dragon Shadow, forming nine phantom shadows and constantly dodging Purple Yin Yang’s attacks.
“Elephant Power Nine Stacks!”
Zhang Ruochen struck out five palms in a row, five palm imprints overlapping everything, erupting with five times the attack power.
“Boom!”
Purple Yin Yang blocked the sword horizontally, only to feel a mountainous force coming out from Zhang Ruochen’s palm, and the Green Dragon Stranger Sword in his hand was shaken out by the palm force Zhang Ruochen had struck.
The Green Dragon Stranger Sword flew out more than ten feet away and was stuck upside down on the ground, the shaft of the sword was still trembling and making ear-piercing sounds.
Purple Yin Yang retreated more than ten steps in a row and finally stabilised himself, staring at Zhang Ruochen with some surprise, saying, “What a powerful palm strike, so you’ve been hiding your strength as well.”
In the distance, Zhang Tiangui also saw Zhang Ruochen’s palm strike and a cold colour appeared on his face, “It’s really him.”
