Even the number one on The Earth Ranking, Bu Qianfan, only fought him for three moves before losing.
Emperor Yi was curious to know, how many moves could Zhang Ruochen block him?
After Di Yi steadied his footsteps, he immediately raised his arms and spread his hands out, palms downwards, his ten fingers spread and bent, pinching them into a claw shape.
“Ka ka ka!”
The fingertips of the Black Dragon Ghost Claw Gloves were very sharp, set with ten sharp blades like the claws of a dragon.
He no longer fought Zhang Ruochen with his palm, but switched to using his claws.
“Hell Ghost King Claw.”
Emperor Yi surged out, his speed surprisingly increasing by another point compared to earlier, infinitely close to the speed of sound.
The Ghost King of Hell Claw was a profound martial skill that originated from the Ten Thousand Buddhas Dao’s “Qiankun Dragon Claw Hands”, and later on, after the Black Market Saint’s modifications, coupled with the evolution of tens of thousands of years of time, it turned into the Black Market’s martial skill.
The “Dragon Image Prajna Palm” was the most powerful palm technique of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Dao, while the “Qian Kun Dragon Claw Hand” was the most powerful claw technique of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Dao.
“Qian Kun Dragon Claw Hands” had a total of nine moves, and the “Hell Ghost King Claw” that evolved from it had a total of 36 moves.
In contrast, the latter than the former less a few points of masculine domineering, slightly less powerful.
But the latter than the former, more a few points of sinister and venomous, more variables, moves more eerie.
Emperor Yi struck the claw method, and there was a gust of gloomy wind, and the cold air descended straight down.
The surrounding waters, under that cold air, issued a “giggling” sound, and finally, froze into ice.
“Swish swish!”
Countless claw prints flew around in the ice, resembling human hands and dragon claws, emitting “whimpering” ghostly whistling sounds.
Zhang Ruochen held the fainted Huang Yichen in one hand, and his speed became slightly sluggish.
“There was a bang.
Caught off guard, Zhang Ruochen’s chest was struck by one of Emperor Yi’s claw prints, and even though he was wearing the Flying Fish Armour, Zhang Ruochen still felt a sharp pain in his chest, as if his internal organs had been clawed through the air.
Below the hill, another ear-splitting long whistle was heard.
Zhang Tiangui drove a chariot flying regiment, flying three feet off the ground, cutting through the waves of water and rushing up the hill.
The flying chariot was incredibly powerful, and wherever it passed, it instantly crushed the reef into pieces.
Behind that one Flying Regulator Chariot, there were dozens of Black Market’s martial artists, who were holding war soldiers and arranged in a formation, surging towards the direction of the stone gate like a black tide.
“Zhang Ruochen, your time to die has come!”
Zhang Tiangui stood proudly at the top of the flying yamen, and with both hands, he released the true qi in his body, transforming it into a pillar of light that rushed up from the top of his head, instantly attracting heaven and earth visions.
Thousands of feet of electric sea.
“Crackle!”
With Zhang Tiangui’s body as the centre, in a radius of a thousand feet, all the aura gathered over and condensed a purple lightning bolt. The lightning constantly shuttled and intertwined, condensing into an underwater sea of electricity.
Seeing the lightning that impacted over, Zhang Ruochen’s heart sank violently, knowing that Zhang Tiangui had already broken through to the Heavenly Extremity Realm.
Only a breakthrough to the Heavenly Extreme Realm could attract such a powerful heaven and earth phenomenon.
One must know that Zhang Tiangui was a genius of the Four Extremities and a half when he hadn’t broken through to the Heavenly Extremities Realm, and now that his strength had skyrocketed, Si Xingkong, Chen Xi’er and the others could not possibly be his opponents.
However, Zhang Ruochen was even more worried about the dragon soul inside the hill, once the dragon soul was disturbed, the consequences would be unimaginable, and all of them would probably die here.
Just as Si Xingkong unleashed the heaven and earth vision of the “Thousand-foot Thunder Sea”, Zixi, who had the weakest cultivation level, was struck by a bolt of electricity, and her body flew backwards with a “wow” sound.
Most of Zixi’s body became charred black, countless tiny electric lines flowed on her body, she was extremely traumatised.
Zhang Tian Gui only saw that Zixi was wearing the clothes of an Earth Sect Assassin, and thought that she was a martial artist from the black market, and that the electric light just now was not intentionally directed at her.
If Zhang Tiangui had intended to kill Zixi, that strike just now would have caused Zixi to fly into ashes.
Chang Qi Qi and Si Xingkong rushed out from both directions at the same time, rushing to intercept Zhang Tian Gui.
“Get the hell out of my way.”
Zhang Tiangui’s arm swung out, triggering his true qi, and in a flash, two bowl-thick purple coloured lightning bolts slashed at Chang Qiqi and Si Xingkong, sending the two of them flying out.
Zhang Tian Gui had only one enemy, and that was Zhang Ruochen.
He knew that now was his only chance to kill Zhang Ruochen, once Zhang Ruochen broke through to the Heavenly Extremity Realm, he would never have another chance.
Both Chang Qi Qi and Si Xingkong had activated the defence inscription of their spatial rings, and although they were sent flying, they were not injured.
After climbing up from the ground, the two of them chased after Zhang Tiangui once again.
“We mustn’t let Zhang Tianwei join up with Emperor Yi, otherwise, combining the strength of the two of them, Zhang Ruochen is afraid that he’ll be in deep trouble.”
“Set up a formation!”
Si Xingkong’s legs stomped and catapulted up, landing on a high point of the hill, taking out a jade stone and injecting his true qi, immediately activating the inscription in the jade stone.
Chen Xi’er, Duanmu Xingling, and Chang Qiqi, all took out a jade stone as well and activated the formation inscription, forming a combined formation.
The four of them teamed up to lay down a combined strike formation and joined forces to strike.
“Wow!”
A pillar of light with a diameter as thick as half a metre flew out from the combined attack formation and struck at Zhang Tianwei’s flying chariot.
That one Flying Regulator was an Eighth Order True Martial Treasure, but when it withstood the combined strike of the four of them, it immediately flipped on its side and rolled down the hill.
Zhang Tiangui looked quite wretched, following the flying chariot and crashing down the hill.
Subsequently, the combined attack formation set up by the four of them clashed with the formation set up by the thirty-six black market martial artists, instantly tearing apart the other party’s formation.
The thirty-six black market martial artists, most of whom were killed or injured, fled down the hill.
In one direction, Zhang Ruochen and Emperor Yi were also battling.
“Ghost King’s Wrath!”
Emperor Yi executed the seventh move of the Cultivating Ghost King Claw, and as the martial skill was executed, his physical body pulled up half a metre out of thin air, his muscles bulged, his bones stretched, and his ten fingers grew twice their length.
Emperor Yi transformed into a ghostly shadow and struck Zhang Ruochen’s neck with a claw.
With this strike, he wanted to pierce through Zhang Ruochen’s Flying Fish Armour, thus completely taking Zhang Ruochen down.
“Blood Condensation Nine Swords.”
Zhang Ruochen’s hands unfolded, and the blood qi in his body filled out, turning into a blood mist that formed a blood formation at his feet.
The silhouettes of the nine battle swords flew around his body, emitting swish-swish sounds. Afterwards, the nine swords united and flew out.
Zhang Ruochen pushed with both hands, and the swords flew out.
“Boom!”
The sword Qi erupted and countless lights of sword Qi rushed towards Emperor Yi, forcing him back.
At the same time, the four of them, Si Xingkong, Chen Xi’er, Duanmu Xingling, and Chang Qiqi, also rushed up the hill to the side of the stone gate, joining up with Zhang Ruochen.
Among them, Duanmu Xingling was still holding Zixi, who was severely injured, in her hands.
Zhang Ruochen immediately turned around and inserted the dragon’s horn into the one stone hole on the stone door, opening it up.
The stone door opened, and in the middle of the cave, a rushing golden aura immediately shot out.
“Wow!”
Not to mention the Dragon Palace, the entire ten thousand miles of water in the Death River section turned completely golden, resounding with a vast Buddhist sound.
“The Buddha relic, it must be the hinterland of the hill.”
A blazing light appeared in Di Yi’s eyes as his entire body’s power completely erupted, and with his body as the centre, waves of water surged in all directions, sending those Black Market martial artists completely flying out.
Di Yi once again rushed towards the stone door.
Si Xingkong, Duanmu Xingling and the others had already entered the stone door, Zhang Ruochen drew out his dragon horn, and the stone door, slowly began to merge.
Zhang Ruochen stood in the centre of the stone door, his legs spread apart, his tiger’s waist sunk down, standing in a horse stance, and the true qi in his body raced, surging towards his right arm, causing it to turn completely golden.
“Zhang Ruochen, earlier I only used 50% of it, do you really think I can’t kill you? You’re just looking for death if you want to block me from seizing the Dragon Shelter.”
Behind Di Yi’s back, a ten feet tall humanoid Saint Shadow rushed out, his body blossoming with multicoloured light, and his eyes burning up like balls of fire.
At this moment, he was like a Saint possessed, and the aura that erupted was indeed much more powerful than just a moment ago.
“Elephant Power Nine Stacks.”
Zhang Ruochen’s right arm lifted up and struck out nine palm seals in a row, the nine palms combining together to erupt with nine times the power.
“Human King Pushing Mountain.”
Emperor Yi’s entire body’s holy light completely surged into his fist as if it was a mountain slamming down.
“Boom!”
Under that huge force, Zhang Ruochen’s body swayed and flew backwards.
Falling ten feet away and landing back on the ground, Zhang Ruochen only felt as if he had been hit by a huge mountain, his bones almost falling apart. The skin of his right arm cracked with a blood-coloured line, spilling out drops of blood and revealing bright red flesh and blood veins.
Of course, with that strike just now, Zhang Ruochen also knocked Emperor Yi back, causing Emperor Yi to fail to enter the stone door.
When Di Yi struck the second blow, the stone door had already closed.
“Boom!”
Di Yi’s fist struck on top of the stone door while being blocked by a golden pattern, a counter-vibration force came from the stone door and shook him back once again.
The entire hill followed and shook slightly.
“Damn it.”
Emperor Yi landed at the bottom of the hill and stared at the stone door, his fists clenched, his mood bad to the extreme.
Zhang Tiangui immediately greeted him, bowed, and said, “Young Lord, what now?”
Emperor Yi’s face was gloomy as he said, “Even if Zhang Ruochen is able to obtain the Dragon Shell, he will definitely come out, and at that time, it won’t be too late to seize the Dragon Shell.”
Zhang Tiangui was a little worried and said, “But I’m worried that once Zhang Ruochen breaks through the Heavenly Extreme Realm, it will be very difficult for us to suppress him anymore.”
Emperor Yi’s eyes were icy cold as he clenched his five fingers and said, “So what if he reaches the Heavenly Extremity Realm? As long as I reach the Heavenly Extremity Realm, I will still be able to suppress him, only, in that case, I won’t be able to go and impact the Supreme Extremity Realm of the Earth Extremity Realm, but it’s a pity.”
Since the beginning of time, how many people had been able to reach the Supreme Extreme Realm, and even if they obtained the Buddha Relic, they might not be able to succeed. Although Di Yi’s heart had some regrets, he wasn’t too obsessed.
Moreover, he believed that if he couldn’t reach the Supreme Extreme Realm, Zhang Ruochen would be even more unable to reach the Supreme Extreme Realm. Therefore, even if Zhang Ruochen broke through to the Heavenly Extreme Realm, he still had the confidence to defeat Zhang Ruochen.
He, Emperor Yi, was born undefeated.
