Zhang Ruochen threw the body of the Poison Spider Young Lord out of his storage ring and threw it on the ground.
The body of the Poison Spider Young Lord was wrapped in cold ice, and Hua Ming Gong clearly wanted to bring him back for a thick burial. It was a pity that to Zhang Ruochen, the body of the Poison Spider Young Lord was worthless and there was no need to keep it in the storage ring.
By killing the Poison Spider Young Lord and Hua Ming Gong, Zhang Ruochen would definitely be able to obtain a large amount of Merit Value.
With the huge intelligence system of the Martial City Money Bank, it could be very easily found out that the two of them died at the hands of Zhang Ruochen, so there was no need for Zhang Ruochen to bring their corpses back to prove it.
“With the greedy and selfish character of the evil martial artists in the black market, the Poison Spider Young Master and Hua Ming Gong definitely didn’t spread the news that I can control spatial power. Once the two of them are dead, there is finally no need to worry about news leaking out.” Zhang Ruochen looked much more relaxed, after all, space and time were his biggest secrets.
Suddenly, Zhang Ruochen raised his head and gazed towards the sky, seeing a small red dot, flying from the sky.
In the sky, a “whimpering” sound resounded.
Moreover, the sound became louder and louder, shaking the air.
Almost all of the people in Lin’an County were startled and came out of their homes, gazing towards the sky.
Only to see a huge red warship, flying in from the northern sky, more than seventy feet long, completely cast from steel, almost like a divine ship.
At the bottom of the battleship, nine formations were suspended. The formations were constantly running, forming a ripple of inscriptions.
Red Spider Giant Ship!
“Lord Hua Ming is really stalling for time, waiting for rescue. It’s fortunate that we killed him first, or else we would have been attacked from the back.” Zhang Ruochen’s face sank.
It was already too late to leave now!
Today, it was unavoidable that there would be another vicious battle.
If the war started in Lin’an County, with the power of the Red Spider’s giant ship, I’m afraid that it would be able to raze this small city to the ground, and I don’t know how many people would die tragically.
Without the slightest hesitation, Zhang Ruochen executed the Wind-Resisting Flying Dragon Shadow, and in almost just a few dodges, he rushed out of the county town, towards the glacier in the distance.
The people on that one battleship had already discovered Zhang Ruochen’s aura, and as Zhang Ruochen rushed out of Lin’an County, the Red Spider Giant Ship also immediately reversed its direction and chased after Zhang Ruochen.
The speed of the Red Spider Giant Ship, which reached the speed of sound, quickly caught up with Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen also stopped fleeing and stood by the glacier, trying to adjust his state, his whole body’s true qi merging with the aura between the sky and the earth, and the whole person looked very calm.
The Red Spider Giant Ship was like a behemoth, hovering in the void above Zhang Ruochen’s head, covering a third of the sky, and on the ground, forming a huge projection.
On the deck of the Red Spider Giant Ship, there stood a spirited purple-robed old man with a pair of long white eyebrows and a slightly chubby build, with a faint smile on his face as he stared at Zhang Ruochen below, saying, “Little fellow, pretty fast, are you an Inner Palace student of the Martial City Academy Palace?”
Earlier on the Red Spider Giant Ship, Mu Qing had witnessed Zhang Ruochen execute the Wind-Resisting Flying Dragon Shadow, erupting at a speed of two hundred metres per second.
In the younger generation, anyone whose speed could reach such a level was a top heavenly pride.
Zhang Ruochen said, “Why should I tell you?”
The purple-robed old man smiled grimly, “My name is Mu Qing, I am the head of the Poison Spider Chamber of Commerce at the southern border of the Sifang County Kingdom, and when I received the news of Hua Ming Gong’s plea for help, I immediately rushed over. Where is Lord Hua Ming now?”
Zhang Ruochen said, “Probably still on the Yellow Springs Road.”
“You killed him?” The purple-robed old man’s eyes glared, and it looked like electricity could shoot out from inside his pupils.
Zhang Ruochen said, “You came a step too late.”
Mu Qing was not as angry as Zhang Ruochen had imagined, instead, he revealed a smile and said, “Lord Hua Ming is also too useless to die in the hands of a teenager, a lifetime of fame is considered ruined. But it’s good to be dead, after his death, I can be the chief of the Yunwu County Kingdom.”
Mu Qing’s martial cultivation had already reached the Heavenly Extreme Realm, but he could only be one of the eight heads of the Four Directions County Kingdom, not only did he have to take orders from the General Master of the Poison Spider Chamber of Commerce, but also from the General Head of the Four Directions County Kingdom, so his heart was naturally very unwilling to do so.
Since Hua Ming Gong died, then he Mu Qing can naturally become the general manager of Yunwu County.
Yunwu County, although it is only an inferior county, but it is much better than being subordinate to others.
Since Hua Ming Gong had been killed, Mu Qing of course wanted to avenge Hua Ming Gong, as long as this was the case, he could prove that he was more powerful than Hua Ming Gong, and more worthy of being reused by the Chamber of Commerce.
Mu Qing’s gaze was once again fixed on Zhang Ruochen, how could he not feel that that one teenager was able to kill Hua Ming Gong, who was at the Heavenly Extreme Realm cultivation level, and secretly thought in his heart that perhaps it was because Hua Ming Gong was already seriously injured that that one teenager had picked up the advantage.
“Kid, you dared to kill one of the chief leaders of the Poison Spider Chamber of Commerce, do you know what price will be paid?” Mu Qing said coldly and sorrowfully.
Zhang Ruochen said, “What kind of price?”
“Not only will you have to die, even your family will perish, and all the women in the family will be captured and become the goods of the Poison Spider Chamber of Commerce, bought out as slaves.” Mu Qing said.
Zhang Ruochen said, “This is your Poison Spider Chamber of Commerce’s means of scaring people?”
“Scaring you? Haha! It seems like you have to be taught some lessons before you know the tactics of the Poison Spider Chamber of Commerce.”
Mu Qing soared up and jumped down from the Red Spider Giant Ship like a big black bird, descending from the sky and slapping his palm down at Zhang Ruochen.
“Shocking Heavenly Palm!”
His palm was completely wrapped in electric light.
“Rumble!”
In the centre of his palm, a sound like thunder was emitted, resounding for dozens of miles around.
It was just a palm print, but it was loud and powerful.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t expect Mu Qing to take the risk of jumping off the Red Spider Giant Ship and take the initiative to attack him.
As such, it seemed that in Mu Qing’s eyes, he did not place him, a teenager in his teens, in his heart, he was confident that even if he did not borrow the power of the Red Spider Giant Ship, he would still be able to kill Zhang Ruochen.
In Mu Qing’s view, killing a teenager who also needed to use the Red Spider Giant Ship was a humiliating thing to pass on!
Don’t you want to use a bull’s knife to kill a chicken?
It had to be said that Mu Qing’s strength was indeed quite powerful, although he was still at the early stage of the Heavenly Extremity Realm, he was a few points more powerful than Hua Ming Gong, who was even more powerful after casting the forbidden art.
“Flying Dragon in the Sky!”
Zhang Ruochen’s legs stomped and shot up explosively, Spirit Flame True Qi surged out from his body, wrapping his palms and meeting Mu Qing head on.
“Boom!”
The electric palm collided with the fire palm.
Zhang Ruochen crashed to the ground, stepping out a half-metre deep pit, and on his arm, there were still strands of tiny electric lines flowing, and half of his sleeve became completely charred.
With a gentle shake of his arm, the charred black part of the sleeve, turned into powder and the sleeve became tattered.
In the first exchange, Zhang Ruochen lost slightly.
There was no way around it, the other party’s Heavenly Extremity Realm cultivation was there, and at full strength, it was not something that could be compared to the heavily injured Hua Ming Gong.
Moreover, Zhang Ruochen killed Hua Minggong by taking advantage of the “spatial rift”, and only succeeded when he was taken by surprise.
At that time, Hua Ming Gong had used a forbidden technique, and although he was powerful, his energy was very tired and his mind was a bit too hyperactive, so naturally, he was unable to clearly perceive the subtle spatial fluctuations.
It was naturally much easier for Zhang Ruochen to assassinate him.
However, Mu Qing was now in full bloom, and his mental power was very sensitive, so if Zhang Ruochen still wanted to use the “Spatial Rift” to backstab him, it wouldn’t be that easy.
Zhang Ruochen did not intend to use his spatial power until he was absolutely sure, otherwise, not only would he fail to kill Mu Qing, but he would also expose his secret.
Mu Qing landed on the ground and stared at Zhang Ruochen with some amazement, ”To actually be able to catch one of my ‘Heavenly Palm’ moves, no wonder you were able to kill Mu Qing. With your strength, I’m afraid that you are able to be ranked in the top ten of the inner palace students of the Martial City Academy Palace, right?”
“If you want to fight, then fight, why is there so much nonsense?”
Zhang Ruochen took the initiative to attack towards Mu Qing, and under the urging of his true qi, the forty force system inscriptions in the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword were activated, and the weight of the sword reached more than four thousand jin.
With a move of “Heavenly Heart Pointing”, he chopped towards Mu Qing.
“Swish!”
Mu Qing erupted with a speed of 300 metres per second, and with just a flash of his body, he dodged Zhang Ruochen’s full strength sword, and from the left side, he pointed at Zhang Ruochen’s left temple.
His speed was too much faster than Zhang Ruochen’s, almost close to the speed of sound.
“Good timing!”
It was as if Zhang Ruochen had already judged that he would attack from the left side, and the battle sword in his hand, trailing horizontally, chopped at Mu Qing’s waist.
If Mu Qing continued forward, he could indeed pierce Zhang Ruochen’s temple with a finger, but he would also be chopped in two by the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword.
He naturally did not want to die with Zhang Ruochen, so he immediately retreated and changed his stance again.
Zhang Ruochen followed suit and changed his stance, executing the Heavenly Heart Sword Technique of the Realm of Transformation, forcing Mu Qing back every time.
Between the flashes of lightning and fire, the two of them changed dozens of moves in a row, but none of them actually touched each other, and almost every time Mu Qing was about to use a move, it was sealed by Zhang Ruochen in advance.
“Good brat, actually cultivating the sword technique to the realm of realisation, I don’t believe I can’t clean you up.”
Retreating ten feet away, Mu Qing clasped his hands together, and his palms condensed a ray of electricity, forming an electric ball the size of a human head.
“Electric Light Prisoner Dragon Palm.”
In the Poison Spider Chamber of Commerce, as long as one reaches the Heavenly Extremity Realm, one can choose a Spirit Grade Medium Grade martial art to cultivate, and the one Mu Qing chose was the “Electricity Light Imprisoning Dragon Palm”.
For ordinary evil martial artists, one only needed to reach the Heavenly Extremity Realm to be able to obtain a Spirit Grade Medium Grade martial art. Only those who had made outstanding contributions to the black market would be able to obtain a second Spirit Grade Medium Martial Skill.
Even for the royal family of the Yunwu County Kingdom, the topmost martial skill was only a Spirit Grade Medium Grade martial skill. From this, it could be seen that the preciousness of a Spirit Grade mid-grade martial skill.
In the Martial City Academy, if one wanted to learn a martial skill above the Spirit Grade, one must also spend a large amount of Merit Value to exchange it, and one could only cultivate it for oneself and could not spread it out.
Not every martial artist was like Zhang Ruochen, who had flipped through a large number of high-level techniques and martial skills.
Other martial artists, they simply couldn’t compare.
Mu Qing had originally opened the divine Martial Seal with the lightning attribute, and the true qi he cultivated also contained the lightning attribute. It was because of this reason that he was more powerful than Hua Ming Gong at the same realm.
Hua Ming Gong’s true qi did not contain the power of the attribute.
“Ow!”
Mu Qing struck out with his palm, and that one ball of electricity, emitting a divine dragon like whistle, transformed into a lightning dragon shadow.
“Elephant Power Nine Stacks.”
Zhang Ruochen struck out six palm seals in a row, and the six palms came together to coalesce into a single palm seal that erupted with six times the attack power.
