“Yes, sir!”
Hearing Zhang Tiangui’s order, the two Black Market’s martial arts experts smiled grimly and lifted their battle knives, about to slash at Chang Qiqi’s body.
“Wait ……”
Si Xingkong clenched his teeth and said, “Zhang Tiangui, I promise you …… I promise you …… can’t I?”
“Haha!”
Zhang Tian Gui laughed out loud and said, “Indeed, you are sentient and righteous, making it impossible for me not to admire you. In that case, then kneel down and kowtow!”
Zhang Tiangui loosened his foot on Si Xingkong’s back and stood aside, unable to help but feel some anticipation in his heart.
A few months ago, Si Xingkong was still that spirited Senior Brother of the Martial City Academy, and even he was defeated in Si Xingkong’s hands.
Only a few months had passed, but Si Xingkong was lying on the ground like a dog, with him controlling life and death.
This feeling from strength and power was just too wonderful!
Si Xingkong dragged his heavily injured body and climbed up from the ground, staring at Zhang Tiangui who was standing in front of him.
As a martial artist, he could choose to rather fold than be humiliated.
But as a friend, as a senior brother, he could not disregard his senior brother’s life and death.
There was pride and dignity in his heart, but there was also love and justice.
His own dignity and his senior brother’s life, he must choose the same.
This is more difficult to choose than the death of the difficult problem, if there is a choice, he would rather choose to die himself, so there is also a lot of ease.
Si Xingkong closed his eyes and let out a long sigh, his legs slightly bent, about to kneel down.
The smile on Zhang Tiangui’s face grew brighter and brighter.
Right at this moment, two ice swords condensed from water flew up from the water, spinning without stopping, and rushed up to the Red Spider Giant Ship.
“Poof!”
The two three-foot-long ice swords pierced through the true qi masks of the two Black Market’s martial arts powerhouses who had grabbed Chang Qi Qi earlier, piercing into their vests and penetrating through their chests, revealing the tips of the swords condensed from cold ice.
On the tip of the sword, it was stained with blood and became scarlet, like blood jade.
“Ah ……”
“Young Lord, save …… me ……”
The two black market martial arts powerhouses, looking at the ice sword that pierced through their chests, their whole body was cold, their hearts were filled with fear.
“Boom boom!”
The life force gradually drained away, both eyes went black, and the two of them collapsed to the ground almost simultaneously.
There was no blood coming out of the wound on their chests.
Because of the fresh blood, it had been sealed by the cold ice.
The sudden change caused all the martial artists on the Red Spider Giant Ship to be a little alarmed, and their gazes, one after another, looked towards the water.
A hundred feet away, on the black water, a martial artist wearing crimson armour, carrying a broken sword, stepped into the water and walked towards the Red Spider Giant Ship step by step.
With every step he took, he froze the several feet of water centred on his paws into ice.
Just now, it was him, using the ice sword, who had killed two Black Market martial arts experts.
“Zhang Ruochen!”
Although Zhang Ruochen’s entire body was covered in armour, he was still recognised by Jin Chuan.
Jin Chuan’s five fingers, tightly pinched together, were both angry and excited at the same time.
The anger was that Zhang Ruochen had killed his daughter, Jin Ye Yun.
Of course, Jin Ye Yun actually died under Ah Le’s sword, it was just that Jin Chuan didn’t know about it, so he counted that share of hatred on Zhang Ruochen.
Excitedly, Zhang Ruochen finally showed up.
If Zhang Ruochen was hiding, with ten thousand miles of waters, it really wasn’t an easy task to find him out.
In the audience, apart from Jin Chuan, the person who was most excited was Zhang Tiangui.
Originally, he only wanted to humiliate Si Xingkong and save his face from losing to him in the first place, but he didn’t think that there would be an unexpected gain, luring Zhang Ruochen all the way out.
Great!
“Zhang Ruochen ah! Zhang Ruochen! There’s a way to heaven and you don’t go, but there’s no door to hell and you barge in. Today, if you still manage to escape, I, Zhang Tiangui, will write my name upside down.”
Zhang Tian Gui was ecstatic, his entire body’s blood boiling.
As long as he killed Zhang Ruochen, those halos that once belonged to him would return to him. What Zhang Ruochen had robbed him of, he must take it all back with interest.
In fact, Zhang Ruochen didn’t want to choose this path of death.
If he just hid in the water and didn’t pay attention to the life and death of Chang Qi Qi and Si Xingkong, naturally, he wouldn’t be discovered by the Black Market’s martial artists.
However, he couldn’t get past his inner self.
Just like Si Xingkong who chose between his dignity and the life and death of his senior brother, how could Zhang Ruochen have any other choice?
Instead of choosing to live and die, silently watching his senior brother being humiliated. How about, killing out, fighting a battle, even if you lose your life, at least live a dignified and sensational life.
Even Di Yi, who was sitting in the middle of the cabin, also slightly side-eyed towards the water outside the window, his gaze fixed on the body of that one armour-clad teenager, the corners of his mouth road an arc, “Actually choosing to take the initiative to show himself, I don’t know if it’s just stupidity or if he really has a great spirit.”
Zhang Ruochen travelled to the fifty feet position of the Red Spider Giant Ship, stopped and said aloud, “Release Senior Brother Chang and Senior Brother Si, I’ll take their place and be your captive.”
Jin Chuan stood at the bow of the ship, his face grim as he laughed coldly, “Zhang Ruochen, what qualifications do you have to negotiate with our Black Market? Since you appeared here, do you think, you still have a chance to escape? Guo XIII, Xiahou Shuo, the two of you go and take Zhang Ruochen down.”
“Swish! Swish!”
Guo XIII and Xiahou Shuo leapt up almost simultaneously, making two arcs and landing on the water surface, from the left and right directions, simultaneously pinning Zhang Ruochen.
Guo Thirteen’s strength was needless to say, he belonged to the first class of Martial Grandmasters in the Sifang County Kingdom, carrying a heavy sword, yet he was still able to erupt with a speed that exceeded the speed of sound, and he rushed to Zhang Ruochen’s right side in almost just an instant.
His feet stepped on the water, his body’s true qi surged wildly, forming a blood formation five metres in diameter under his feet, and with both hands raising his sword, he slashed straight down without any frills.
A volatile sword qi flew down from the sword blade like a sword waterfall.
Even the water surface was separated by his sword, revealing a deep water path.
The waves, surging to the left and right, transformed into two invertedly divided walls of water.
Zhang Ruochen stood in front of the sword qi, like an ancient pine rooted in the water, and with a wave of his arm, his true qi transformed into a hurricane that surged out.
A wave of water was lifted up and condensed into a ten-metre high, three-metre thick wall of ice.
“Boom!”
Guo XIII shattered the ice wall with his sword, then slashed out a second sword, chopping towards Zhang Ruochen’s head.
Zhang Ruochen stared at the incoming sword, his pupils contracted, and he could clearly see the trajectory and subtlety of Guo Thirteen’s sword, as if Guo Thirteen’s speed was slowing down.
In reality, Guo XIII’s speed was extremely fast, faster than even Zhang Ruochen’s speed.
Zhang Ruochen carried the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword, his true qi converged towards his palm and activated the inscription, his arm lifted and gently shook as a sword light chopped over.
This sword was as fast as a stream of light.
All the sword Qi, almost in an instant, shot out.
When Guo XIII saw the flying sword qi, his face changed slightly, and he immediately puffed up his protective heavenly astral body and blocked with his sword across his body.
“Boom!”
Guo XIII flew backwards and crashed more than ten feet away, the Body Protecting Heavenly Deity on his body was pierced through by the sword qi, leaving two bloody holes in his abdomen and right leg.
“Wow!”
Repelling Guo XIII, Zhang Ruochen took a step forward as his body floated up as if he was flying through the air, flying towards the Red Spider Giant Ship.
Suddenly, a silhouette, rushing towards him, was none other than Jin Chuan’s great disciple, Xiahou Shuo, also a late stage Heavenly Extremity Realm Martial Myth, who possessed great fame in the Four Directions Prefecture.
“Zhang Ruochen, if you want to break into the Red Spider Giant Ship, you’ll have to pass me first.”
“Heavenly Yuan Deity Qi.”
Xiahou Shuo’s arms unfolded, holding up a huge, forty-metre-diameter, orb-shaped astral shield that emitted a bright white light.
Standing at the centre of the astral shield, Xiahou Shuo struck out with a palm.
On the surface of the astral mask, a huge palm print condensed and pressed towards Zhang Ruochen’s head.
“Flying Dragon in the Sky!”
Zhang Ruochen’s body twisted and spun as he flew up, the bones of his entire body almost completely connecting together as he let out a sound like a dragon’s roar.
“Ow!”
A palm slapped down over, erupting close to seven times the attack power, shattering Xiahou Shuo’s astral shield in a split second.
Xiahou Shuo’s mouth spat out a mouthful of blood, and was hit by the powerful palm wind, hitting his body, and with a plop, he fell into the water, splashing a huge splash.
“So powerful! With just one palm, he seriously injured Lord Xiahou Shuo, Zhang Ruochen is truly worthy of being the top expert of the younger generation.”
“Guo Thirteen was also heavily injured by his sword, this person, can truly be described as a palm and sword double master, cultivating both palm and sword techniques to the extreme.”
“Not good, he’s flying towards the Red Spider Giant Ship!”
……
Zhang Ruochen landed on top of the Red Spider Giant Ship, and immediately, more than a dozen Black Market martial practitioners of the Earth Extremity Realm Great Perfection rushed up and surrounded him in the centre.
“Heavenly Heart Tidal Wave!”
Zhang Ruochen chopped out with his sword, his true qi surging out, turning into a wave of sword qi and water.
“Poof!”
As the sword energy flew across the deck, blood splattered and screams were heard.
Among them, the bodies of six black market martial practitioners who were at the great circle of the Earthly Extreme Realm were chopped in two by the sword energy, dying on the spot from gas. The other few martial artists with high cultivation levels barely managed to block Zhang Ruochen’s sword, but they all suffered minor injuries.
Zhang Ruochen rushed to Chang Qiqi and Si Xingkong, lifted Chang Qiqi’s right arm, grabbed Si Xingkong’s left arm, and was about to take the two of them away.
Seeing that Zhang Ruochen was carrying both his left and right arms, Zhang Tiangui finally seized the moment to strike and stomped on his toes, striking out a Spirit Level Fist Technique, striking at Zhang Ruochen’s vest.
If it was a head-on fight, Zhang Tiangui would never be Zhang Ruochen’s opponent.
However, right now, Zhang Ruochen was carrying two severely injured people in his hands, and his back was turned to him.
This punch of his was enough to seriously injure Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Tiangui was not a weakling, and as he punched out, the bones of his arm emitted a “crackling” sound, and his fist turned silver, like an iron fist made of secret silver.
As if Zhang Ruochen had eyes behind his back, he sensed the strength of Zhang Tiangui’s punch and pushed Si Xingkong forward, causing him to lurch forward and fly out of the railing of the Red Spider Giant Ship, falling into the water of the Death River with a plop.
At the same time, Zhang Ruochen turned around violently and pointed out with his left thumb.
“Solar Pulse Sword Wave!”
All the true qi of his entire body, in an instant, all surged towards his thumb, transforming into flaming sword qi that surged out from between his fingers, striking at Zhang Tiangui’s fist.
