The long hair on Jin Chuan’s head, windless and automatic, and his hands formed a seal, stimulating the Body Protecting Heavenly Deity, wrapping his body.
“With a loud bang, Jin Chuan was struck by the force of water and fire, and under the protection of the Body Protecting Big Dipper, he slid backward by more than ten feet.
“Attack!”
Zhang Ruochen’s mouth once again spat out a single word, and dozens of purple lightning bolts flew out in all directions with the formation as the centre.
On the ground, densely-packed tiny electric patterns appeared, as if the entire manor had been turned into a sea of thunder and lightning.
Those pavilions, under the impact of the electric light, were instantly torn apart and turned into charred black wood shavings!
More than thirty Barbarian Elephant soldiers were struck by the electric light and let out miserable screams as they fell to the ground.
Some of the Barbarian Elephant soldiers were only fainted from serious injuries;some of them were already nothing but a charcoal amongst their armour.
In the distance, on the top floor of a six-storey tower pavilion, stood a man wearing a metal mask, it was none other than the young master of the Black Market’s One Piece Hall, Di Yi.
His eyes, which took on a purple colour, were like two purple flames burning in his pupils. Even the white mist that filled the city couldn’t block his vision.
Emperor Yi looked out over the distant battlefield, shook his head, and said, ”A bunch of losers! Zi Feng, help them out!”
“As you command!”
That one purple-robed man standing behind Emperor Yi, his body flashed and flew into the sky above the City of Death.
The Purple Wind Star Envoy hung in the void, his hands wearing purple metal gloves. A purple metal-like finger continuously formed seals as his mouth bellowed, “Wind Spirits of Heaven and Earth, listen to my command!”
“Rumble!”
The Purple Wind Star Envoy opened his mouth and spat out a breath, transforming into a raging wind that swept across the entire City of Death.
The wind whistled, emitting a “whimpering” sound, and in just a moment, the white mist that filled the city was completely blown away by him.
As the white mist dispersed, the Barbarian Elephant soldiers who had surrounded Zhang Ruochen immediately regained their eyesight, and all of them attacked in the direction of the Water, Fire, Wind, and Thunder Formation.
“Kill!”
“Kill Zhang Ruochen and there will be a heavy reward.” Guo XIII said.
“A mere formation, you want to stop me? Guo XIII, protect me.” Jin Chuan said in a deep voice.
Guo XIII immediately rushed over and stood beside Jin Chuan.
Jin Chuan closed his eyes, and a faint soul shadow, flew out from his body, hovering above Jin Chuan’s physical body.
“Senior Jin Chuan has actually cultivated a martial soul, no wonder he is able to become a top ten ranked expert in the Sifang County Kingdom.”
Guo XIII looked at the soul shadow hovering above, his heart envious.
Although it was said that upon reaching the Heavenly Extreme Realm, a martial artist would be able to utilise their true qi to contain their soul and cultivate a martial soul. However, only extremely profound Heavenly Extreme Realm martial artists could cultivate their souls to the level of a martial soul.
A Heavenly Extremity Realm martial artist who cultivated a martial soul would be able to mobilise heaven and earth aura to launch attacks.
Therefore, a Heavenly Extremity Realm martial artist who had cultivated a martial soul and a Heavenly Extremity Realm martial artist who had not cultivated a martial soul were two completely different concepts.
Guo XIII’s soul strength would be far from the level of a martial soul.
In fact, a martial soul was the name given to the soul when it reached a certain level.
Jin Chuan’s Martial Soul, began to mobilise the aura of heaven and earth, condensing a huge blade shadow in the void, and slashed downwards towards the Water, Fire, Wind and Thunder Formation below.
“Not good, Jin Chuan has actually cultivated a martial soul.” Zhang Ruochen’s face changed slightly.
Although, Zhang Ruochen also had a Martial Soul that could also mobilise Heaven and Earth True Qi, and even his Martial Soul was much more powerful than Jin Chuan’s. However, his Martial Soul had to use the power of the Soul Vein to communicate, and there was a great limitation.
Not to mention whether or not he could fight against Jin Chuan by mobilising the power of his Martial Soul, just based on the fact that that one powerful person who blew away the white mist of the entire city in one breath was nearby, Zhang Ruochen did not dare to expose his Martial Soul.
Once he exposed his martial soul, the people he would have to kill then would not only be Jin Chuan and those Barbarian Elephant Army, but would also bring out even more terrifying martial artists.
Zhang Ruochen absolutely could not expose his martial soul until it was absolutely necessary.
Zhang Ruochen controlled the formation and gathered the power of all thirty-two formation flags together, condensing them into a huge ball of electricity and attacking first.
“Swish!”
Jin Chuan also controlled the shadow of his sword and chopped down.
With an explosive sound, the ball of thunder was chopped through by the huge shadow of the blade, turning into a streak of lightning that impacted out in all directions.
“Boom!”
The blade shadow chopped at the top of the protective shield of the Water, Fire, Wind, and Thunder Formation, crushing the ground where the formation was located and collapsing it, splashing up a large area of mud and dust.
When the mud and dust dispersed, only a large pit with a diameter of tens of metres appeared on the ground, sinking about two metres.
However, apart from the splintered formation flag, there was no sign of Zhang Ruochen at all.
Jin Chuan’s martial soul returned to his body and said, “Quickly chase after him, we can’t let him escape.”
Cao Lin and Guo XIII led the Barbarian Elephant Army and chased towards the hinterland of the manor, turning the entire manor upside down.
“A Heavenly Extremity Realm powerhouse who has cultivated a martial soul is really powerful, even the Water, Fire, Wind, and Thunder Formation can’t stop a single strike from him, this is a true martial myth. Luckily, wearing the Flying Fish Armour blocked seventy percent of the attack.”
Zhang Ruochen used his Body Technique and pushed his speed to the extreme, rushing towards the entrance of the dark passage.
Just now, controlling the formation, Zhang Ruochen had already consumed a large amount of true qi, and coupled with Jin Chuan’s final blow, Zhang Ruochen had suffered a considerable amount of injuries.
Now, he could only hope and escape through the dark passage.
A sinister voice sounded behind Zhang Ruochen, “Zhang Ruochen, where are you going to escape?”
The old eunuch Cao Lin chased after Zhang Ruochen, getting closer and closer to him.
Zhang Ruochen could clearly feel the cold air coming from behind him, each strand of cold air was like steel needles stabbing into his back, it was both cold and painful at the same time.
Cao Lin’s speed was a whole lot faster than Zhang Ruochen’s, and when Zhang Ruochen had just rushed to the stone doorway of the dark passageway, Cao Lin’s five fingers were pinched into a claw shape, and a claw claw grabbed towards Zhang Ruochen’s back.
Zhang Ruochen knew that he would definitely be hit by the claw print, but he didn’t even dare to stop and resist, as long as he stopped for a little while, Guo XIII and those Barbarian Elephant Army would catch up and surround him once again.
If he was surrounded again, would he still have the strength to break out of the encirclement?
He could only fight it off!
“Wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”
Cao Lin’s claw marks struck Zhang Ruochen’s back.
The claw prints collided with the Flying Fish Armour, making a metallic bursting sound and leaving five white marks on top of the armour.
“Surprisingly, it’s a ninth rank True Martial Treasure Artifact grade armour, no wonder it was able to withstand Mr. Jin Chuan’s strike without dying. It’s just a pity that the armour, even if it’s strong enough, can only resist penetrating power, it can’t resist the power of dark energy and the power of shock.”
Cao Lin’s claw seal was put away and his five fingers were flattened into a palm seal.
“Bone Transforming Yin Mian Palm.”
“Boom!”
A cold and bone piercing palm force struck Zhang Ruochen’s vest.
Even though there was an armour to resist it, there was still a continuous stream of feminine palm force that passed through the armour and struck Zhang Ruochen’s body. That wave of palm force was quite peculiar, entering the body and rushing straight to Zhang Ruochen’s whole body bones.
Suffering from this palm, Zhang Ruochen flew straight out, crashed into the stone door of the dark passage, and rolled down the stone staircase leading to the underground.
“Surprisingly, there is a secret passage, no wonder Zhang Ruochen desperately fled in this direction.”
Cao Lin’s heart was overjoyed as he immediately chased after him into the secret passage.
As long as he was able to catch Zhang Ruochen, whether he was alive or dead, it would be a great honour.
Zhang Ruochen had been hit by his Bone Transforming Yin Mian Palm and had already been injured, it was the right time to kill him.
“What a powerful old eunuch, his Kung Fu is one step higher than both Yin Shan and Jin Ye Yun, and he has also cultivated the Evil Dao Kung Fu, Bone Transforming Kung Fu.”
Zhang Ruochen rolled down the stone stairs, dizzy, only feeling pain and weakness all over his body, and his bones felt like they had disappeared.
In his ears, there was the sound of water flowing.
The air was moist and the surroundings were pitch black.
However, Zhang Ruochen was still able to see his surroundings clearly with the power of the Spatial Domain, and not far away, there was indeed an underground dark river.
At the moment, he was lying on the stone platform next to the dark river, only ten metres away from the dark river.
Zhang Ruochen immediately revolved the Nine Heavenly Bright Emperor Scripture, hoping that through the Spirit Flame True Qi in his body, he would be able to dissolve the palm force of Cao Lin’s Bone Transforming Yin Mian Palm.
The “Bone Transforming Yin Mian Palm” cultivated by Cao Lin was very strange, carrying a force of Yin Mian, capable of penetrating into the bone marrow of a person through the air, and even the Flying Fish Armour could not defend against it.
The Nine Heavenly Bright Emperor Scripture was indeed worthy of being a top technique, as the true qi ran through the body for a large circumference, and dispersed some of the Yin Mian Palm power, allowing Zhang Ruochen to regain some of his strength.
Not waiting at all for Zhang Ruochen to disperse the Yin Mian power, completely, a footstep came from not far away.
Cao Lin pinched a Light Attribute Spirit Crystal, illuminating the dark underground space and revealing his grim, pale old face.
Cao Lin walked up to Zhang Ruochen’s body and laughed, ”Kid, it doesn’t feel good to be hit by the old man’s Bone Transforming Yin Mian Palm, does it? Does it feel like all the bones in your body have disappeared and you can’t lift any strength at all? Haha!”
Zhang Ruochen was originally lying on the ground, and just as Cao Lin appeared, suddenly, his body powered up and sat up, his legs tucked away into a cross-legged sitting position.
Cao Lin was a bit startled, his eyelids jumped, saying, “Good boy, a bit of skill. After being hit by the Bone Transforming Yin Mian Palm, he can actually still move.”
Cao Lin thought that it was the armour on Zhang Ruochen’s body that helped him block the palm force, and thus, was able to maintain a certain level of mobility, and would not have thought that Zhang Ruochen possessed the ability to dissolve the Bone Transforming Yin Mian Palm.
Zhang Ruochen laughed as he dissolved the palm force, “It’s just a mere palm move, it can’t help me yet.”
“Is that so? I see you, just pretending!”
Cao Lin smiled grimly and slowly approached Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen’s strength wasn’t weak, and Cao Lin didn’t dare to be careless, didn’t he see that Yin Shan died under his sword?
Three hundred Barbarian Elephant Army surrounded him and he was able to kill his way out, this son is definitely not to be underestimated.
Just when Cao Lin came within five steps of Zhang Ruochen, he suddenly dashed forward, his speed accelerated fiercely, and struck a finger at Zhang Ruochen’s brow.
As Cao Lin struck his finger, the entire underground space was suddenly filled with cold light.
Zhang Ruochen’s brows stared as he quickly struck his left thumb to meet the attack.
“Solar Pulse Sword Wave!”
“Swoosh!”
The two finger forces, clashed together.
Obviously Zhang Ruochen’s cultivation had not recovered, and the power of the sword wave he had struck was quite limited, and in just a split second, it was crushed by the finger force pointed out by Cao Lin.
With a “bang”, Cao Lin’s fingertip struck the surface of Zhang Ruochen’s Flying Fish Armour with a loud bang, sending Zhang Ruochen flying.
“Haha! Kid, you’re really still badly injured, trying to scare the old man, you’re too tender!”
Cao Lin laughed out loud and chased after him once again, mobilising his true qi and spinning his five fingers ceaselessly, preparing to strike a Bone Transforming Yin Mian Palm once again.
As long as he killed Zhang Ruochen, not only would it be a great honour, but it would also make him famous in the world.
Just as Cao Lin was excited, he didn’t even notice that the space around him shook slightly, and a strange spatial pattern appeared.
