At one time, I don’t know how many times, Zhang Tian Gui secretly thought of having a duel with Zhang Ruochen, and then, with his powerful strength, he would defeat Zhang Ruochen and redeem his reputation as the number one genius of the Heavenly Demon Ridge.
However, now that he was actually standing with Zhang Ruochen, he felt a huge pressure, and his entire body felt like it was going to be crushed by that pressure.
Even with his powerful martial will, a wave of panic arose.
It was only until this moment that he truly understood that the gap between himself and Zhang Ruochen was surprisingly so great, and that the talent he had worked for was simply worthless in front of Zhang Ruochen.
Looking at the Queen who had fallen into a pool of blood, Zhang Tiangui did not even glance towards her, dead is dead, what is there to look at?Still forcing himself to be calm, he said, “Zhang Ruochen, I’m curious to know, how did you escape from the killing trap set up by Emperor Yi?”
In Zhang Tiangui’s eyes, Emperor Yi could be said to be an unfathomable existence, even though Zhang Ruochen was already very strong, he still didn’t believe that Zhang Ruochen would be an opponent to Emperor Yi.
Zhang Ruochen already didn’t bother to say a single word to Zhang Tiangui, and resolved that he would definitely behead him and never give him any chance to live.
Seeing Zhang Ruochen’s eyes that were filled with a murderous aura, Zhang Tiangui’s heart sank violently and he immediately turned around and fled.
“Can you escape?”
Zhang Ruochen’s body moved and transformed into a residual shadow, catching up with Zhang Tiangui in just an instant and appearing above Zhang Tiangui’s back.
“Boom!”
Zhang Ruochen’s palm reached out and struck a dragon shadow, striking Zhang Tiangui’s back.
Zhang Tiangui immediately injected his true qi into a jade talisman in his pocket, forming a guardian light shield that wrapped around his body, trying to ward off Zhang Ruochen’s palm imprint.
“Boom!”
The light shield shattered and turned into a wisp of light.
The palm imprint struck Zhang Tianwei’s back, leaving a huge bloody imprint that sent Zhang Tianwei flying.
“Wow!”
Zhang Tiangui spat out a mouthful of blood, and there were some remnants of flesh and blood in the blood, as if his internal organs had been shattered by the palm force and spat out of his mouth.
Plopping down on the ground, Zhang Tiangui immediately took a healing elixir and slowly climbed up from the ground.
However, he had already suffered internal injuries, even with the healing elixir, it was impossible for him to exert any more power in his current state. Right now, even an ordinary person could knock him to the ground with a single punch.
Zhang Ruochen walked over step by step, the killing intent in his eyes intense to the extreme.
“Zhang Ruochen, you’re too arrogant, do you really think I’m dead today?”
Zhang Tiangui laughed out loud, his gaze fixed on Zhang Ruochen’s back.
At an unknown time, a one-armed old man, appeared three feet behind Zhang Ruochen, hanging in the air, he had a head of long, flowery white hair, which parted in the middle, revealing an old face full of wrinkles.
Zhang Ruochen naturally felt the terrifying aura of power coming from behind him, the feeling was not like a person standing behind him, but like a thousand year old ghost standing behind him.
In just an instant, the cold and chilling aura coming from behind him almost froze Zhang Ruochen’s entire body.
As if reacting instinctively, Zhang Ruochen immediately mobilised his entire body’s true qi, forming a huge blue ball of light and wrapping himself in it.
The true qi that Zhang Ruochen cultivated was the Green Void True Qi. The defensive power of the Body Protecting Heavenly Deity condensed from the Green Void True Qi was naturally extraordinary, harder to destroy than a city wall.
“Boom!”
In a flash of lightning, that one-armed old man struck down with a palm.
That one palm, like a five-fingered mountain, shattered the ball of true qi light in just an instant, pressing it towards Zhang Ruochen’s chest.
Just as that one palm fell, a piercing golden aura rushed out from Zhang Ruochen’s heart.
From the golden aura, an ear-splitting dragon roar was emitted, erupting an incomparably strong force that dissolved the one-armed old man’s power.
Even so, that powerful impact still knocked Zhang Ruochen backwards, crashing through an arrow tower and falling into the ruins of the collapsed wall.
“Who are you?”
Zhang Ruochen walked out from the ruins, flicking off the mud and dust from his body, still standing upright on top of the city wall, staring at the one-armed old man.
Seeing that Zhang Ruochen had been struck by the one-armed old man’s palm and was still alive, an incredulous look appeared on his face as he said, “Zhang Ruochen, standing in front of you is the Poison Spider Chamber’s General Master, Hua Qing Ye. With Senior Hua here, do you think you still have a chance to kill me today? Ahem.”
Zhang Tiangui had always been a high-minded and proud person, so even a Martial Dao Overlord like the Four Directions County King was not in his eyes, but in front of Hua Qingye, he didn’t dare to be reckless.
Because, Hua Qing Ye was an existence that transcended the martial dao, and his cultivation had already reached the Fish Dragon Realm.
Don’t look at the fact that Zhang Tiangui was once the Heavenly Demon Ridge’s first genius, but even with his talent, he might not be able to break through to the Fish Dragon Realm in the future.
The entire Heavenly Demon Ridge thirty-six counties, all the fish dragon realm martial artists all together, it is estimated that there are less than twenty people, each of them is to make the Heavenly Extreme Realm martial arts myths have to look up to the existence of the real great master, that is the real great master, the strongest of the strong.
In the Heavenly Demon Ridge, there were three Half-Saints, the Empty Sky Half-Saint who sat in the Martial Market Palace, the Han Jie Half-Saint from the Cloud Tower Sect House, and the Linghuan Half-Saint from the Tai Qing Palace.
Only, the vast majority of the time the Half-Saints didn’t stay in the Heavenly Demon Ridge, but instead went to the battlefields of the various market realms to open up territories for the Human Race, and only a few times would they return to the clan. Even when they returned to their clans, they were mostly in closed-door cultivation, comprehending the Holy Dao, and would rarely intervene in the battles of the major powers.
Therefore, in the Heavenly Demon Ridge, Fish Dragon Realm martial artists were the most powerful existences, dominating the destinies of all martial artists.
Emperor Yi valued the Yunwu County State very highly, and had the intention of using it as a base to unify the entire Heavenly Demon Ridge’s thirty-six counties and establish a superior county state under the control of the black market.
It was based on such a purpose that he had dispatched Hua Qingye to sit in the Yunwu County Kingdom to prevent a counterattack from the Martial City School Palace.
Only, even Hua Qingye did not expect that before he could wait for the experts from the Martial City School Palace, he had waited for Zhang Ruochen first.
“Wow!”
Hua Qing Ye flew down from above, his feet stepping on the ground as he stared coldly and sharply at Zhang Ruochen across from him, saying, “To actually be able to block one of Lao Fu’s palms, it seems that on your body, you have an unrivalled body protection treasure.”
Ordinary body protection treasures could not block a strike from a Fish Dragon Realm martial artist, unless it was a top-notch body protection treasure worth more than a million Spirit Crystals that had that much defensive power.
Zhang Ruochen’s protective treasure was the dragon pearl in his heart.
After Zhang Ruochen learnt of the other party’s identity, he also revealed a grave expression and said, “Your cultivation should be at the Fish Dragon First Transformation realm.”
“To be able to see through my cultivation realm, you are worthy of being a genius capable of entering the top 100 of the Earth Ranking.”
The corner of Hua Qing Ye’s eyes lifted slightly, revealing a mouthful of morose-white teeth as he laughed with a somewhat grimace, “You wouldn’t think that just because I am only at the cultivation level of the First Change of the Fish Dragon, I wouldn’t be able to clean up after you? The gap between the Fish Dragon Realm and the Heavenly Extremity Realm is not something that can be bridged with your talent.”
Not to mention Zhang Ruochen, even if it was the legendary Nine Extreme Genius, at the early stage of the Heavenly Extremity Realm if he encountered a Fish Dragon Realm expert, he would only be killed in seconds and would not have any power to fight back.
Besides, if Hua Qing Ye could reach the Fish Dragon Realm, he wouldn’t be an ordinary martial artist, his own talent was already very high.
Zhang Ruochen still had one more trick up his sleeve, and that was the Sherry Seed, as long as he unlocked the first layer of the Sherry Seed’s seal, he would be able to obtain power comparable to that of a Fish Dragon Realm martial artist in a short period of time, and using it to decapitate Hua Qing Ye, he should be able to do so with no trouble at all.
However, Zhang Ruochen didn’t want to waste the power of the first layer of the Sherry Seed’s seal just because of one Hua Qing Ye. That power was very precious to him, it could be used to save his life and would never be used until it was absolutely necessary.
“I can only use the power of my martial soul!”
Having reached the Heavenly Extremity Realm, he had never used the full power of his Martial Soul, and now, it was time to show his strength.
Zhang Tiangui didn’t know what was going through Zhang Ruochen’s mind at the moment, thinking that Zhang Ruochen was thinking about how to escape. A teasing smile appeared on his face as he said, ”Zhang Ruochen, even if you want to escape now, it’s already too late! The power you are so proud of is weaker than an ant in front of Senior Hua.”
Zhang Ruochen did not speak nonsense and directly released his martial soul.
“Wow…”
The soul shadow, standing right behind Zhang Ruochen, emitted a greenish light as the aura of the heavens and earth converged over, condensing a greenish cloud above Zhang Ruochen’s head.
Hua Qing Ye shook his head with a smile and said, “Even if you have cultivated a martial soul, it’s useless, the might of a Fish Dragon Realm martial artist is not something you can imagine. Let alone the fact that you are only at the early stage of the Heavenly Extremity Realm right now, even if you have already reached the Great Circle of the Heavenly Extremity Realm, there is no way you can be my opponent.”
Earlier, Hua Qing Ye had seen Zhang Ruochen use his powerful martial soul power to kill the Four Directions County King, so he had a certain understanding of Zhang Ruochen’s power.
Even so, Hua Qing Ye still did not place Zhang Ruochen in his eyes. The fight between Zhang Ruochen and the Four Square County King was like a child’s fight in his eyes.
However, he did not know that Zhang Ruochen had only used one-tenth of his Martial Soul Power when he fought the Four Directions County King.
Hua Qing Ye didn’t want to say any more and violently rushed out, his speed was so fast that it surpassed the discernment of the naked eye, and he arrived in front of Zhang Ruochen in almost just an instant, striking his palm at the top of Zhang Ruochen’s head.
Zhang Ruochen’s Martial Spirit sensed Hua Qingye’s move in advance, so he immediately mobilised the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and condensed a Spiritual Sword, which swished and chopped horizontally.
“Boom!”
Hua Qing Ye just casually struck and crushed that Spirit Sword, continuing to slash at Zhang Ruochen’s head.
Taking advantage of that moment just now, Zhang Ruochen hurriedly retreated backwards to avoid Hua Qingye’s attack.
“Swish!”
Zhang Ruochen condensed the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth into the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword and chopped out with a single stroke, stabbing at Hua Qing Ye’s abdomen.
This sword not only contained Zhang Ruochen’s own power, but also the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi mobilised by the Martial Soul, which had completely surpassed the scope of a Heavenly Extreme Realm martial artist’s battle power.
