The martial auras of Violet Yin Yang and the Poison Spider Young Lord were simply too powerful, and the aura in the air was completely absorbed over by them.
It was almost as if they were two martial arts myths standing in both directions of the street.
Above the twenty feet wide street, not a single pedestrian could be seen, and the doors of the shops on both sides were all closed tightly, with only Zhang Ruochen still standing alone in the middle of the street with Chang Qiqi on his back.
“Zhang …… Zhang …… senior brother, you …… don’t need to care about me, put me down… . go …… first, otherwise …… you can’t escape …… from it …… “Chang Qi Qi lay on Zhang Ruochen’s back, her voice weak and very painful.
“Leave together if you want to go, stay together if you want to stay.”
Zhang Ruochen’s brows knitted together, his gaze unprecedentedly firm, with no intention at all of escaping alone.
Now that they were close to the King’s Palace, as long as the battle broke out, the powerful people in the King’s Palace would be able to arrive at the first opportunity.
Therefore, they were not completely without a chance of surviving.
Zhang Ruochen placed Chang Qi Qi on the ground, took out a healing elixir, and took it into Chang Qi Qi’s mouth, saying, “Senior Brother Chang, you should first nurse your wounds, I will definitely bring you out alive.”
Chang Qi Qi sat on the ground, his face bloodless, he didn’t even have the strength to speak, he only gently shook his head at Zhang Ruochen.
If Zhang Ruochen had left him behind, there might have been a slight chance to escape.
However, if Zhang Ruochen stayed here, it would be certain death.
Zhang Ruochen straightened his body again and stared at Violet Yin Yang above him, saying, “You are the young master of the Hellmouth Sect?”
“That’s right.” Zi Yin Yang said.
Zhang Ruochen said, “With your cultivation, you can completely kill me with ease, yet you have been escaped by me continuously, do you know what the reason is?”
“If you are trying to stall for time and wait for someone to come to your rescue, you are making a big mistake. The general helmsman of the Moon Worshipping Demon Cult has already rushed to the royal palace to personally deal with the Yunwu County King, who is now struggling to protect himself.” Zi Yin Yang said.
Zhang Ruochen appeared calm as he said, “Since you don’t want to know the reason, forget it and pretend I didn’t say anything.”
Zi Yin Yang’s eyes sank in concentration and after a moment, he said, “Alright! This Young Lord will give you one last chance to speak!”
Zhang Ruochen said, “Whether it’s your blade technique or your sword technique, there is a big loophole.”
“What loopholes?” Zi Yin Yang asked.
Zhang Ruochen smiled faintly, but had no intention of saying anything at all.
The Poison Spider Young Lord said in a cold voice, “Brother Zi, don’t talk nonsense with him, he is trying to deliberately influence your mind, thus weakening your battle power. The so-called loophole is just a trick for him to trick you.”
“Almost fell for your trick, in my opinion, it’s best to keep your mouth shut forever.” Zi Yin Yang said.
It had to be said that just now, Zi Yin Yang did have a slightly confused mind, thinking that it was really a loophole in his moves. After all, with his cultivation, it was indeed too counterintuitive that it would take so much effort to kill a martial artist who had just broken through the Earth Extreme Realm.
Only after thinking carefully did he react, how in the world could there be a move that was completely free of flaws? Just like there could not be absolutely perfect people in the world.
“Wow!”
From the top of that ancient building, Violet Yin Yang flew down, slashing out three sword awns in a row.
Two of the swordmans flew towards Zhang Ruochen, while the other flew towards Chang Qiqi.
Zhang Ruochen grabbed Chang Qi Qi’s battle sword and took a fierce step forwards, slashing it and dispersing the sword awn that flew towards Chang Qi Qi.
“Puh!”
However, Zhang Ruochen himself was chopped by a sword awn, fortunately, it was blocked by the Ice Fire Qilin Armour, and he only took two steps back to melt away the power on the sword awn.
“Purple Yin Yang, you are also considered a top expert of the younger generation of the Black Market, if you have the ability to come at me, why do you need to use an injured person to hold me back?” Zhang Ruochen said.
Zi Yin Yang said, “For an assassin, as long as they can kill someone, they can use any method.”
Violet Yin Yang struck again, attacking towards Chang Qi Qi.
Zhang Ruochen immediately blocked in front of Chang Qi Qi’s body, cupping the hilt of the blade with both hands and chopping down.
“Don’t know how to die!” Purple Yin Yang snorted coldly.
“Pfft!”
The Fish Intestine Sword pierced through Zhang Ruochen’s left shoulder, while at the same time, the battle sword in Zhang Ruochen’s hand chopped down towards Zi Yin Yang’s neck.
Zi Yin Yang frowned slightly and was about to retrieve the Fishgut Sword, but he realised that the muscles of Zhang Ruochen’s shoulder had clamped the Fishgut Sword, making it impossible for him to retrieve the Fishgut Sword.
Obviously, Zhang Ruochen had deliberately sold a break, allowing his sword to stab into his left shoulder.
“Crazy!” Violet Yin Yang said coldly.
While Zhang Ruochen was prepared to fight for his life, Zi Yin Yang did not think of dying with Zhang Ruochen.
In this situation now, Zi Yin Yang could only give up his Fish Intestine Sword and quickly move two steps sideways to avoid the slash that Zhang Ruochen chopped into his neck.
Zi Yin Yang was quite suffocating, Zhang Ruochen was the first person to injure him and the first person to force him to abandon his sword, and most crucially, Zhang Ruochen’s martial arts cultivation was still far inferior to his.
Being one of the seven greatest experts of the younger generation of the Black Market, to be actually forced to such a degree by a teenager, Zi Yin Yang’s face could be said to have been disgraced!
Zhang Ruochen wasn’t doing well either, and was badly injured.
The Fish Intestine Sword pierced into his left shoulder, bringing the sword qi into Zhang Ruochen’s body, and with the wound as the centre, a large area of meridians and blood veins were shattered, completely numbing him and rendering him unconscious.
Enduring the pain, Zhang Ruochen pulled out the Fish Intestine Sword stuck in his left shoulder, his body still standing straight, staring intently at Zi Yin Yang, saying, “Do you guess that my sword skill is superior? Or is my sword skill superior?”
“Even if your sword skill is more superior, it still can’t change your death today.”
Purple Yin Yang’s five fingers were pinched into a claw shape and he performed a weird pace, like a gust of wind, rushing to Zhang Ruochen’s face.
His claws were sharper than fine iron. The five fingers, completely wrapped in cold ice true qi, formed five sharp ice spikes.
Under the influence of Purple Yin Yang’s true qi, in the air, a snowflake condensed. The snowflakes grew bigger and wider, and the temperature became more and more icy.
Violet Yin Yang’s physique was also capable of attracting heaven and earth anomalies.
“Swish swish!”
Zhang Ruochen put the Sword Mind Realm of Sword Technique into full effect, and in a single moment, he made twelve sword moves, surprisingly forcing Purple Yin Yang to be completely unable to get close to him.
“Stop!” A delicate cry rang out.
In the distance, a slender figure rushed out from the alley.
She was wearing a green dress and a veil, her figure was petite and delicate, and a wisp of white true qi surrounded her delicate body, forming a hazy and beautiful silhouette, making it impossible to see her true appearance.
Seeing this woman appear, Purple Yin Yang immediately stopped her hand, retreated to a distance, and said in a cold voice: “Who are you? How dare you obstruct this Young Lord from killing?”
That one woman wearing a veil, laughed delicately, seemingly with a few moments of contempt, and said, “Not to mention you, even if it is the Hellmouth Sect’s Lord who is going to kill, I dare to tell him to stop, and, moreover, he has to stop.”
“What a big mouth.”
Purple Yin Yang’s eyes shrunk as he erupted with a rapid speed of one hundred and eighty metres per second, instantly disappearing in place as he attacked with a claw towards that one veiled woman.
“Swish!”
Purple Yin Yang’s eyes flashed, and suddenly, that one woman, disappeared.
Not good.
Zi Yin Yang immediately turned around, both palms struck out at the same time, striking to the right.
“Boom!”
To the right, that one woman struck out with her palms, sending Zi Yin Yang flying tens of distances away.
And she was still standing still, not moving at all.
“How is that possible?” Zi Yin Yang only felt the blood qi rolling around in his body, and his arms felt like they were broken, even if he just moved his fingers, both of his arms would hurt to the bone.
In the younger generation, Zi Yin Yang thought that he was considered outstanding and had never tasted defeat.
What exactly was this woman?
Why was she able to crush his proud cultivation with a casual palm strike?
Seeing that the situation was a bit ominous, the Poison Spider Young Master immediately rushed over and stood to the left of that one woman, forming a hand with Violet Yin Yang.
“Girl, meddling in the affairs of the black market is never a wise behaviour, I advise you to stop early.” The Poison Spider Young Lord said coldly while playing with his bronze scimitar.
Only the Poison Spider Young Lord present knew that Zhang Ruochen was capable of controlling spatial power, so naturally, he would not allow outsiders to save Zhang Ruochen away.
“What if I don’t stop?” That one woman’s voice was soft and charming, yet it gave off a very ethereal feeling, completely hearing her true age.
The Poison Spider Young Lord and Purple Yin Yang quickly glanced at each other and attacked at the same time.
This time, neither of them held back in the slightest and exploded into full strength.
After being nourished by the True Qi, Zi Yin Yang’s injured arms had recovered, and instead of becoming weaker, his strength had become stronger.
Obviously, when he had fought Zhang Ruochen earlier, he had not used his full strength.
“Boom Boom!”
A moment later, Violet Yin Yang and the Poison Spider Young Lord spat out blood from their mouths as they simultaneously flew backwards and fell to the ground.
They climbed up from the ground with grey heads, looking incomparably wretched, and stared in great shock at the one woman standing in the centre of the street.
“You …… are a Heavenly Extreme Realm martial artist?” The Poison Spider Young Lord said.
That one woman laughed, “Ignorant! To deal with you, why do you need a Heavenly Extremity Realm martial artist, a martial artist on The Earth Ranking can do it as well.”
Purple Yin Yang covered her chest, blood hanging from the corner of her mouth, shook her head, and said, “There are only two women in total from the young generation of the 36 counties of the Heavenly Demon Ridge who have entered the Earth Ranking, you could never be one of them.”
“However, I am that third one.” That one veiled woman said.
Zi Yin Yang said, “With your strength, I’m afraid that you are also ranked high on the 《Earth Ranking》.”
The Poison Spider Young Lord said, “It is true that there is a heaven beyond the heavens, and there are people beyond the people, today we admit our defeat at the hands of the girl, and we are convinced. I just don’t know, can the girl leave her name and surname, so that we can also know in whose hands we lost?”
“Hehe! You guys can’t even catch a single move from me, and you still want to know my name? I’m already giving the black market face by not killing you guys.” That one woman laughed coldly.
“When I break through to the Earth Extreme Realm Grand Circle, I will definitely fight with the girl again.” The Poison Spider Young Master was very unwilling, letting out a vicious sentence and leaving with those evil martial artists of the Poison Spider Chamber of Commerce in a greyish manner.
As long as that one masked woman was there, even if all of the Poison Spider Chamber of Commerce’s Evil Dao martial practitioners were deployed, it would be impossible to capture Zhang Ruochen, and it was even possible that they would all be destroyed by her.
The strength of that one masked woman was too terrifying, it was simply unfathomable, and the Poison Spider Young Lord felt that even if his cultivation broke through to the Earth Extreme Realm Grand Circle, he was afraid that he wouldn’t be able to catch ten moves from her.
Zi Yin Yang’s gaze glanced in Zhang Ruochen’s direction, staring at the sword in Zhang Ruochen’s hand, saying, “Within three months, I will definitely retrieve the Fish Intestine Sword in person.”
After saying this, Zi Yin Yang also turned around and left.
In the entire street, only Zhang Ruochen and that one veiled woman remained, as well as Chang Qi Qi, who was lying on the ground and had fainted.
The two of them locked gazes, but did not speak.
