“Whoa!”
Chang Qi Qi spat out a mouthful of blood, as if he had been internally injured by a claw from Pot, his face was very pale, his palms tightly covering his chest, he climbed up with difficulty, pointing at the golden rabbit in the distance, saying, “Pot, you …… you… …”
Chang Qi Qi was actually not heavily injured, after all, he was now an expert in the middle stage of the Heavenly Extreme Realm, and was already a martial arts myth in the eyes of ordinary martial artists, so how could he be injured so easily?
The key was anger, so angry that he spat out blood.
In front of so many people, he was actually sent flying by a pet he had bought, could there be anything more depressing than this? Is there anything more humiliating than this?
“What are you looking at, since the dragon’s blood has already been incorporated into my blood, it is considered to belong to me. Look again and I’ll gouge out your eyes.”
Pot stretched out a sharp claw and pointed at Chang Qi Qi, revealing two large rabbit teeth, and said with a threatening tone.
After integrating into the dragon’s blood, Pot Pot was completely enlightened and could already spit out human words.
Not only that, Pot Pot’s cultivation had also increased greatly, and although it was not yet an adult, its strength was already quite impressive.
Seeing this scene, the crowd let out a loud laugh, feeling rather comical.
Obviously, Chang Qi Qi was the master, but, right now, it looked like Chang Qi Qi was more like Pot Pot’s attendant. If you angered Pot, you would have to be beaten.
Could there be a more miserable master than this?
After laughing, Chen Xi’er calmed down and said, “Since we were able to obtain the dragon’s blood, it means that the Golden Dragon was indeed buried here. Since it’s the Golden Dragon’s tomb, let’s look for it and we might be able to find the legendary supreme treasure, the Dragon Sherry.”
The Dragon Sherry, representing the inheritance of the Buddha Emperor and the Golden Dragon, not to mention them, even Saints would be born with greed.
The rest of them nodded and started searching.
The result was obvious, after a search by the crowd, nothing was found.
Si Xingkong didn’t feel discouraged, instead, he was very spontaneous and laughed, “The Dragon Shelter was originally a legend, even Emperor Yi wasn’t sure if it really existed, we were able to obtain a drop of dragon blood in the Dragon Palace, it’s already a huge gain, there’s no need to ask for more.”
“Eight hundred years have passed, even if there really is a dragon relic, it’s probably been taken away by those who came before us, how could it wait for us?” Duanmu Xingling also gently shook her head.
Huang Yichen’s fingers touched his pointed chin and said, “Forget it then! I also feel that it’s time for us to leave this place. I’m also preparing to, as early as possible, return to the Martial City Palace and close the door to refine the dragon’s blood.”
Zhang Ruochen only smiled faintly and did not speak, he believed that amongst these people, there must be someone who had already guessed that the Dragon Sheltering Shield was likely to be taken by him, only that they deliberately did not say anything about it.
Under a subtle atmosphere, the group passed through the passageway and gradually walked out of the Dragon Tomb.
Zhang Ruochen used his dragon horn to open the stone door, and the group of people filed out, once again arriving at that underwater hill.
Those spirit medicines on the hill had long been completely harvested, leaving only bare stones and dirt.
“Young Lord, they came out! ”
“It’s really Zhang Ruochen.”
Below the hill, a large number of Black Market martial practitioners had gathered, and at a glance, there were probably more than two hundred of them.
They stood neatly in some sort of strange orientation, each and every one of them filled with a sharp and cold murderous aura, pinching a piece of jade in their hands, and as the jade blossomed into light, they formed a huge formation.
More than two hundred pillars of light shot up into the sky, intersecting with each other to form a bright point of light, like a roiling starry sky suspended in the water, completely blocking off the surrounding space.
“It finally came out!”
Emperor Yi, who was sitting in the water and cultivating, suddenly opened his eyes, revealing an icy-eyed evil light in his eyes.
Emperor Yi slowly stood up, his movements natural. Influenced by his aura, behind him, a gigantic holy shadow presented itself, radiating a thousand feet of light, suppressing the light of the Thousand Blade Star Luo Grand Formation that was not far away.
He was like a saint who controlled everything in the world, standing straight there, his physical body overlapping with the saintly shadow.
“Swish!”
With a flash, Zi Yin Yang rushed out from behind Emperor Yi and said in a cold voice, “Zhang Ruochen, let my sister go.”
Zhang Ruochen glanced towards Zixi, then, his gaze went back to Zi Yin Yang and said, “If you want me to release Zixi, of course you can. However, you must also promise me one condition, you must first release those students of the Martial City Academy that you have captured.”
Zhang Ruochen had released his Martial Soul to check around when he stepped out of the stone door, and found that a large number of the Martial City Academic Palace’s Inner Palace Cadets had been captured, and were being held in a Dragon Hall not far away.
The corner of Emperor Yi’s mouth hooked as he stared at Zhang Ruochen on top of the hill, revealing an evil smile as he said, ”Somewhat interesting, it seems that you have also broken through the Heavenly Extremity Realm and condensed your martial soul. Yan Deadly Life, escort those fifty-three Inner Palace trainees from the Martial City Academy up here. I’d like to see how Zhang Ruochen can get through today?”
Emperor Yi was very clear that Zhang Ruochen’s strength was not much weaker than him, and in a real battle, perhaps Zhang Ruochen was not his opponent.
However, if Zhang Ruochen wanted to escape, it was as easy as a slap in the face.
Therefore, he first let the martial artists of the black market set up the Thousand Blades Star Luo Formation to cut off Zhang Ruochen’s retreat. At the same time, he captured a large number of Inner Palace students from the Martial City Palace to hold Zhang Ruochen back, so that Zhang Ruochen could not escape even if he wanted to.
Under such circumstances, Zhang Ruochen could only duel with him.
The end result would undoubtedly be him killing Zhang Ruochen and getting rid of this one potential enemy of the Black Market.
Yan Deadly Life was one of the seven young experts of the Black Market at one time, and had now broken through to the Heavenly Extreme Realm, standing at two metres seven or eight, looking like a tiger, wearing a set of black serpentine patterned ancient armour, which wasn’t a mortal product at first glance.
Under his leadership, the Black Market martial artists escorted fifty-three students of the Martial City Academy out to the bottom of the underwater hill.
The trainees of the Martial City Academy Palace, all of them had entered the Dragon Palace later on, searching for the Dragon Shelter.
Despite the fact that they had been quite careful, there was still a group of people who had been captured and become prisoners of Emperor Yi.
“All of you, kneel down and kneel in a row.”
Yan Deadly Life carried a five-foot-long snowy nine-ringed battle sword as he walked behind those Martial City Academy trainees with a cold smile, revealing two rows of white teeth.
Anyone who dared not to kneel down, he would directly cut that one trainee’s hamstring with a single slash.
Among them, a rather pretty-looking female cadet had golden inscribed chains on her wrists and feet, and because she refused to kneel, Yan Deadly Life directly chopped over with a single slash, cleaving through her knees and severing her legs.
“Ah ……”
That one female cadet let out a miserable scream as blood gushed out wildly from her legs and collapsed on the ground.
Her gaze, fixed on Si Xingkong above the hill, pleaded, “Eldest Senior Brother, save me ……”
Si Xingkong used to be the number one expert of the younger generation of the Heavenly Demon Ridge, and was very prestigious amongst the trainees, so when in danger, most of those trainees looked up to Si Xingkong, hoping that he would be able to sweep away the Evil Dao martial practitioners of the black market and save them.
Si Xingkong knew that one female trainee, named Di Rou, and was considered to be on good terms in the Martial City Academy.
Seeing Di Rou’s legs being chopped off, Si Xingkong’s eyes sank, and he was about to rush down the hill to save those captured trainees.
“Eldest brother, don’t be impulsive, the other party has set up the Thousand Blade Star Luo Grand Formation. Once the Grand Formation is in operation, it is not something that you alone can resist.” Chen Xi’er said.
After saying this, a bright smile appeared in Chen Xi’er’s eyes, and with a point of her toes, she appeared behind Zi Xi, one hand pinching Zi Xi’s throat, and the other clasping the meridians of Zi Xi’s right wrist.
Zixi also did not expect that Chen Xi’er would actually suddenly strike at her, and by the time she reacted, she had already been restrained by Chen Xi’er.
Zixi could feel the pain coming from her neck, Chen Xi’er’s nails pierced into her skin, blood overflowed down her fingers and blended into the water, turning into a wisp of blood.
Zixi and Chen Xi’er already had a grudge, she didn’t doubt for a second that if she dared to make a move, Chen Xi’er would definitely kill her without hesitation.
In such a situation, even Zhang Ruochen wouldn’t be able to save her.
Chen Xi’er laughed, ”Zi Yin Yang, if you want your sister to live, you’d better release those students of the Martial City Academy immediately. Otherwise, you’ll just wait and collect your sister’s corpse.”
“Chen Xi’er, your guts are too big! If you dare to hurt my sister, I, Zi Yin Yang, swear to take your life.” Zi Yin Yang’s voice was incomparably cold.
Di Di Yi said, “Zi Yin Yang, those who achieve great things do not stick to small details, don’t be threatened by the other party because of a woman. Even if your sister dies in their hands, I will still use something else to compensate your Hellmouth Sect.”
Zi Yin Yang’s face changed slightly, saying, “But Young Lord ……”
Emperor Yi’s eyes went cold as he said, “Whether your sister is important or the Dragon Sherry is important, you should have a sense of proportion, right?”
Seeing Di Yi’s eyes, Violet Yin Yang’s heart trembled and her entire body went cold.
Emperor Yi had already made his words very clear, for the sake of the Dragon Shelter, not to mention sacrificing a single Zi Xi, even if it meant sacrificing the entire Hellmouth Sect, he would still not mind.
If Zi Yin Yang was threatened by Chen Xi’er because he wanted to save his sister, then Di Yi would also not hesitate to kill him.
To Di Yi, he, Zi Yin Yang, was like a mole cricket, and he could easily press him to death just by stretching out a finger.
Emperor Yi waved his hand, signalling for Zi Yin Yang to retreat.
Zi Yin Yang was a person who was cold on the outside and warm in the heart, although on the surface he had an ice-cold look towards Zi Xi, but when he truly saw Zi Xi in a desperate situation, he simply couldn’t turn a blind eye to it.
Zi Yin Yang clenched his teeth and bent his legs, kneeling down in front of Di Yi, saying: ”Young master, please save my sister, as long as young master can save her life, in the future, this life of mine, Zi Yin Yang, will belong to young master. Even if Young Lord wants me to die right now, I will never frown.”
Di Yi was a person with a strong desire to control, and hated it when others defied his will.
Seeing that Zi Yin Yang actually didn’t listen to his arrangements, a wave of anger naturally arose in his heart, and he said coldly, word for word, “Your life, which originally belonged to me, never belonged to yourself from the beginning to the end.”
Zi Yin Yang knew that Di Yi was already annoyed, but he still had to continue begging, saying, “Young Lord, please save my sister, whatever you ask me to do, I’m willing.”
“What are you?”
Emperor Yi became even more enraged and let out a cold laugh as he directly struck out with a palm, striking the top of Violet Yin Yang’s head.
“Boom!”
Purple Yin Yang’s head split in four and exploded, turning into a cloud of blood mist.
On the ground, only a headless corpse remained, still kneeling there.
For Di Yi, there was simply no point in continuing to keep a disobedient subordinate alive. What’s more, it was only a tiny assassin.
