On the back of the barbarian elephants, each stood a burly, heavily armoured sergeant.
They were holding long spears and their entire body exuded an ice-cold aura, just like a god of death.
“Zhang Ruochen, let’s see where you can escape to this time.”
Guo XIII carried a heavy sword on his back as he leapt onto the fence and glared at Zhang Ruochen from afar.
In the other two directions, the old eunuch “Cao Lin” and the sword master “Yin Shan” also followed.
Zhang Ruochen smiled faintly, “It’s you guys again, last time, you couldn’t keep me. This time, you won’t be able to do anything to me either.”
“Jie Jie! Kid, you overestimate yourself! I would like to see how strong you really are?”
Cao Lin fiercely stomped on the ground, splitting the ground into pieces, and by using the force of the recoil, his speed skyrocketed, turning into a streaming silhouette as he rushed towards Zhang Ruochen.
With a martial cultivation level of Cao Lin’s kind, his speed had already exceeded the speed of sound, and it was no longer possible to accurately judge his course of action just by the sound.
One could only rely on their eyes and mental power to capture Cao Lin’s moves so that they could find a way to deal with them in the shortest possible time.
For other Heavenly Extreme Realm martial artists, eyesight and mental power were their strengths.
However, Heavenly Extreme Realm martial artists who fought with Zhang Ruochen did not have an advantage at all, because Zhang Ruochen’s eyesight was sharper than theirs and his mental power was stronger than theirs.
The moment Cao Lin struck out, Zhang Ruochen immediately struck out as well.
True Qi, surging rapidly in his meridians, rushed towards his left thumb and pointed out with a single finger. The tip of Zhang Ruochen’s finger blossomed with crimson light, striking out a majestic sword wave.
With Zhang Ruochen’s fingertip as the centre, the space around him formed a circle of air waves ten feet in diameter.
“Swoosh!”
Feeling the power of the sword wave, Cao Lin’s speed slowed down and he immediately braced his hands to form a protective heavenly deity.
The so-called “Body Protecting Big Dipper” was actually when a martial artist’s cultivation had reached the Heavenly Extreme Realm, and their true qi had undergone a qualitative change.
When the true qi was released, it was like the Big Dipper.
The higher the martial cultivation level, the thicker and stronger the Big Dipper was.
“Boom!”
The Solar Pulse Sword Wave collided with Cao Lin’s Protective Heavenly Deity, turning into a powerful force that sent Cao Lin flying backwards.
Drops of blood flowed out from between Cao Lin’s fingers, like flames burning within his fingers, the pain was excruciating, and his hands trembled unceasingly.
This was sword qi that had entered his body and was destroying his meridians.
“What a powerful sword wave, it actually broke old me’s protective heavenly deity.”
Cao Lin immediately mobilised the Cold Ice True Qi in his body and forced that wave of sword Qi that had invaded his body, out of his body.
“It’s a pity that it’s only at the Minor Achievement Realm, if it had reached the Major Achievement Realm, that strike just now would have killed you.” Zhang Ruochen said indifferently.
“Don’t talk nonsense with him, he is stalling for time.”
Guo XIII drew his battle sword and roared, “Barbarian Elephant Army, listen to the order, charge in immediately, kill everything and everyone in the manor.”
The number of Barbarian Elephant Army outside the manor reached three hundred. Just the aura emanating from the three hundred Barbarian Elephants was already shocking, like the sky had darkened with it.
The three hundred Barbarian Elephant Soldiers, attacking at the same time, almost just in an instant, rushed into the manor and trampled it into the ground.
Zhang Ruochen looked at the increasing number of Barbarian Elephant Soldiers and immediately injected his True Qi into the Sea of Clouds Diagram.
The Cloud Sea Diagram was a defensive battle map, and after Zhang Ruochen injected his true qi into the diagram, a white mist, gushed out from the diagram, completely shrouding the entire manor, and even the city area surrounding the manor, into the mist.
It was as if a white cloud from the sky had fallen and dropped on the City of Death.
Ten paces away, it was difficult to see the silhouettes of people.
“First, a large number of Dragon Elephant Army appeared, and then the vision of ‘White Mist Covering the City’, it seems that something big is about to happen in the City of Death!”
“Those Dragon Elephant Armies also appeared out of nowhere, it’s too shocking, if they were to impact over, even the millions of troops stationed in the City of Death might not be able to stop them.”
……
After opening the Cloud Sea Diagram, Zhang Ruochen put the Flying Fish Armour on his body and rushed out.
“Swish!”
Zhang Ruochen chopped out with his sword, dragging out a long sword qi that severed the legs of a savage elephant.
The Barbarian Elephant let out a long, mournful whine, and its huge body, collapsed with a loud bang.
The sergeant who was originally standing on the back of the Barbarian Elephant followed suit and fell down, landing heavily on the ground.
Zhang Ruochen wore the Flying Fish Armour, and his speed could reach the speed of sound as he weaved through the white mist, cutting off the legs of a Barbarian Elephant almost every split second. Before long, throughout the entire manor, dozens of barbarian elephants had their legs chopped off, emitting mournful whistling sounds one after another, causing great panic to those barbarian elephant armies.
Moreover, those Barbarian Elephant Army could not see Zhang Ruochen on the other hand, so there was no way to unite their attacks.
Zhang Ruochen mobilised the power of his Martial Soul and unleashed his Spatial Domain, which allowed him to clearly see the situation of the entire manor, killing the powerful Barbarian Elephant Army, who were caught off guard.
Suddenly, Zhang Ruochen saw the trail of that one Archery Master, Yin Shan, and a killing intent flashed in his eyes as he rushed towards Yin Shan.
Yin Shan’s archery skill was outstanding and was a considerable danger to Zhang Ruochen, so he had to be killed first.
Because, the manor was filled with mist, Yin Shan could not see Zhang Ruochen’s trail at all. Although he could hear Zhang Ruochen’s course of action through his ears, Zhang Ruochen’s speed reached the speed of sound, and by the time the sound came, Zhang Ruochen had already arrived in another direction.
Suddenly, Yin Shan saw a silhouette, rushing towards him.
“Good timing!”
Yin Shan immediately loosened his fingers, and the phoenix feather arrow that was resting on the bowstring immediately flew out.
As if the Phoenix Feather Arrow possessed spirituality, it turned slightly and flew towards Zhang Ruochen’s chest.
“Dragon Elephant Returning to the Field.”
Zhang Ruochen struck out with a palm, and the true qi on his arm struck out as if forming a dragon shadow.
Ever since Zhang Ruochen had cultivated into the fifth palm, the Dragon Elephant Palm had reached the level of a Spirit Grade Intermediate Grade Martial Skill, and the power that erupted out of it was more powerful than the power of some Spirit Grade Upper Grade Martial Skills.
“Dragon Elephant Returning to the Field” was the third palm of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm, and although it couldn’t reach nine times the power of the fifth palm, it could at least explode seven times its power. This was the kind of power that could only be erupted from a Spirit Grade Upper Grade Martial Skill!
“Ow!”
A faint dragon shadow flew out from Zhang Ruochen’s palm, crashing the phoenix feather arrow away.
The palm wind struck Yin Shan, forcing him to keep retreating.
“What a domineering palm technique.”
Yin Shan’s face changed slightly, feeling that the blood and Qi in his entire body was not in order, as if there was an invisible force that was squeezing his chest.
As Yin Shan took the seventh step back, Zhang Ruochen appeared on his left side and chopped at his neck with a sword.
Not good.
Yin Shan’s face changed, Zhang Ruochen’s sword came so fast that it was too late to dodge.
Forced to do so, Yin Shan could only inject his true qi into a string of jade beads on his wrist.
That was a protective treasure that Yin Shan had spent tens of millions of silver coins to purchase.
As the inscription in the jade bead was activated, a two-metre-long light shield presented itself in the void, blocking Yin Shan’s body.
“Boom!”
In front of the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword, that light shield was instantly chopped through.
The sword qi, chopped through Yin Shan’s neck.
Yin Shan’s eyes widened, the crimson battle bow in his hand fell to the ground, and his entire person became motionless.
Zhang Ruochen retrieved the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword, glanced towards the string of jade beads on Yin Shan’s wrist, and said, “The grade of your protective treasure is too low to block other people’s swords, but not mine.”
“Giggle!”
At Yin Shan’s neck, a line of blood appeared, and blood gushed out like a waterfall, sending his head flying out.
Yin Shan’s martial cultivation was actually quite profound, having reached the peak of the late stage of the Heavenly Extremity Realm, and even had the strength to compete with martial artists of the Small Extremity Position of the Heavenly Extremity Realm. That was why he was able to seriously injure Zhang Ruochen with a single arrow during their last encounter.
Only, being a master archer, but being approached by Zhang Ruochen to within ten paces, even the most profound archery skill was useless.
The fact that he would die under Zhang Ruochen’s sword did not mean that he was necessarily weaker than Zhang Ruochen, it was just that the circumstances of the battle were not favourable.
“They should have already entered the underground dark river, I should withdraw as well!”
Just as Zhang Ruochen was about to withdraw, in the white mist, a voice like heavenly thunder rang out, “Zhang Ruochen, return my daughter’s life!”
Jin Chuan, dressed in a golden robe, rushed into the manor and flew through the layers of white mist, slapping his palm at Zhang Ruochen.
“Boom!”
The entire space, slightly shook.
Even though Jin Chuan was still more than ten feet away, the five viscera and six bowels in Zhang Ruochen’s body shook violently, as if they were about to be shattered by Jin Chuan’s palm force.
“Pfft!”
Zhang Ruochen spat out a mouthful of blood as his body exploded backwards, falling into the centre of the formation that had been set up earlier.
As the tenth ranked martial arts expert of the Four Direction County Kingdom, Jin Chuan’s cultivation had reached the Small Extreme Position of the Heavenly Extreme Realm. Moreover, he himself was also a Second Jedi expert, so his true strength was able to compete with a Heavenly Extreme Realm Great Extreme Position martial artist.
Yin Shan, Jin Ye Yun and the others, in front of Jin Chuan, were like children, not a power level martial artist at all.
A powerhouse at such a level, striking out a palm with all their might, naturally caused a windy aura.
Not to mention one Zhang Ruochen, even if it was ten Zhang Ruochen, they would still be killed by a palm strike.
Zhang Ruochen stood in the centre of the formation and slammed his foot on the ground, a stream of true qi travelled out from the soles of his feet, dividing into thirty-two streams of true qi, activating the thirty-two formation flags.
Water, Fire, Wind and Thunder Formation!
“Rumble!”
In an instant, the thirty-two formation flags almost simultaneously rushed up a pillar of light, linking together to form a huge formation.
Jin Chuan’s palm imprint, striking on top of the formation’s light wall, knocked the formation’s light wall into a slight depression, forming a surging ripple.
Zhang Ruochen’s finger pointed and mobilised the power of the formation, launching an attack at Jin Chuan.
On the left side of Zhang Ruochen’s body, a ball of blue water qi power condensed from the sixteen formation flags. On the right side of his body, a crimson flame force flew in.
The two forces, converging together, were like an octagram Taiji Rune of water and fire, rotating ceaselessly.
“Attack!”
The power of water and fire surged out, striking at Jin Chuan at the edge of the formation.
