“Zhang Ruochen, I will set your bones to ashes.”
Seeing the crumbling scene in front of him, the Divine Wreckage Dharma King was so furious that his entire body trembled, and a harsh roar came out of his mouth.
The mana within his body gushed out as if it was a gale and tsunami, causing sand to fly in the Split Yin Mountain, tree trunks to shake, and leaves to fly all over the sky with a whistling sound.
Zhang Ruochen calmly stood at the edge of the cliff, his hands behind his back as he stared at the two people at the bottom of the mountain in the distance, and said indifferently, “If you really have that ability, feel free to come and take my life.”
The seemingly calm voice, under the impetus of the true qi, was like waves cascading over one another, clearly reaching the ears of Divine Wreckage Dharma King and Nie Wenlong.
“Arrogant junior.”
In the heart of the Divine Wreckage Dharma King, his anger was so great that his face flushed red, and his entire body looked like it was about to explode, about to kill the Evil Wood Palace and kill Zhang Ruochen handily.
Nie Wenlong always felt that something was wrong and said, “Divine Wreckage Dharma King, you cultivate magical power and are more adept at attacking from afar, if you are provoked by Zhang Ruochen and fight him at close range, I’m afraid that you will suffer a loss.”
“What do you mean?”Divine Wreckage Dharma King’s eyebrows lifted.
Nie Wenlong said, “I always feel that there is something odd about Zhang Ruochen, and it seems like he is deliberately luring us into the Split Yin Mountain. It’s estimated that he has already set up some means to use against us, so if both of us get trapped, won’t he get his way?”
“So, let me deal with Zhang Ruochen, and you stay outside the mountain, keeping a watchful eye on him at all times to see what tricks he can play? If I am unable to decapitate this son, it won’t be too late for you to strike again.”
Divine Wreckage Dharma King gradually calmed down, feeling that Nie Wenlong’s arrangement was indeed even more foolproof, and nodded, saying, “Alright, as you say.”
In fact, only a very small part of the reason was because Nie Wenlong felt that Zhang Ruochen was very abnormal, and was afraid that the two of them would jump into Zhang Ruochen’s trap together, and all of them would be wiped out.
There was another, more important reason, he wanted to kill Zhang Ruochen himself and take the credit alone. What’s more, he wanted to get, the treasures on Zhang Ruochen’s body.
How much strength Zhang Ruochen had, Nie Wenlong couldn’t be clearer.
As long as he was more careful and didn’t get backstabbed by Zhang Ruochen, he had absolute certainty of killing Zhang Ruochen.
During the first round of the Holy Academy’s examination, Zhang Ruochen was only one step stronger than Xu Qing, and in the end, he had to break through the realm to defeat the heir of the Four Great Sage Sect.
He, Nie Wenlong, had been cultivating in the Holy Academy for ten years, and his martial cultivation had long reached the limit of the Heavenly Extreme Realm, and he was many times more powerful than the heirs of those Saint Sect Valves.
To kill a mere Zhang Ruochen, it wasn’t something that could be done at his fingertips.
In his opinion, at least for now, Zhang Ruochen was still far from being his opponent.
“With Zhang Ruochen’s strength, how could he kill two Dharma Kings?”
“Those two stupid Dharma Kings must have been assassinated by Zhang Ruochen and died.”
“It’s also possible that Zhang Ruochen gathered a large number of trainees and formed a combined attack formation before killing the two Dharma Kings. Either way, Zhang Ruochen definitely has an unrivalled undercard, I need to be more careful lest I fall in the gutter and fall into the hands of a junior.”
With this thought in his mind, Nie Wenlong travelled step by step towards the Split Yin Mountain.
At the same time, he amplified his eyes, ears, and sense of smell to the extreme, wanting to find out Zhang Ruochen’s undercard and prepare in advance.
It had to be said that Nie Wenlong had been very cautious, only that he didn’t realise that he had already entered Zhang Ruochen’s spatial realm when he took his first step, and it would be strange for him to be able to detect something different.
Zhang Ruochen frowned slightly.
Originally, he had planned that he would introduce Nie Wenlong and the Divine Wreckage Dharma King into that corner of the Sacred Formation together, and use the power of the Sacred Formation to subdue the two of them.
However, he didn’t expect that they would be so cautious that only Nie Wenlong would ascend Split Yin Mountain alone.
It had to be said that those who were able to cultivate to a realm like theirs were indeed all old and cunning, making it difficult to assassinate them.
Nie Wenlong appeared to be walking slowly, but in reality, he had executed a brilliant body martial skill, and in a moment, he had already ascended the 1,000-metre-high mountain.
He stood opposite Zhang Ruochen, standing straight and said, “Zhang Ruochen, do you still remember me?”
Zhang Ruochen had long learnt about Nie Wenlong from Xu Qing’s mouth, and, having met him during the second round of the Holy Academy Examination, how could he not recognise him?
“Nie Wenlong, ranked in the top 10,000 of The Heavenly Ranking, amassed 180,000 points of Military Merit Value, and countless Indigenous experts have died at your hands, how could I not remember a strong person like you?”Zhang Ruochen said.
Nie Wenlong laughed and said, “If you are able to kill me, although it won’t allow you to enter The Heavenly Ranking, it will make you famous.”
Zhang Ruochen said, “Do you think I can’t kill you?”
Nie Wenlong also appeared to be very relaxed as he faintly laughed, “Although you are known as the King of the New Generation, I am not that weak, and within three years, you won’t be able to surpass me.”
Three years.
Saying this amount of time, Nie Wenlong felt that he was already quite high on Zhang Ruochen.
After all, in three years’ time, he would also progress and would definitely break through the Fish Dragon Realm. It was almost impossible for Zhang Ruochen to surpass him within three years.
Nie Wenlong added, “It’s just a pity that right now, you don’t even have three years to catch up with me. Perhaps, you still don’t know that I have already cultivated into the Wood Spirit Treasure Body, and even those human masters ranked in the top 1,000 of the Heavenly Ranking may not be my match. I have already touched the threshold of the Fish Dragon Realm, and within a year, I will definitely break through the realm.”
Zhang Ruochen was silent for a moment and said, “Since you’re so confident, then let’s battle it out, just to see who can have the last laugh?”
Nie Wenlong laughed, “I know, you definitely have a card in hand, it’s just a pity that I’m not the Greenwood Dharma King or the Ancestral Heart Dharma King, so you can’t assassinate me.”
He added, “In fact, you don’t have to choose a dead path at all, there is still a living path you can take. As long as you hand over the Buddha Emperor’s relics to me, I can let you live.”
The relic, representing the Buddha Emperor’s inheritance, of course Nie Wenlong wanted to obtain it.
As long as he possessed the relics, Nie Wenlong wouldn’t even need to defect to the Xu Sheng Sect Valves, and would be able to break out on his own.
Precisely because, Nie Wenlong wanted to obtain the relics so badly, when the Three Blades Half-Saint sent him to the Five Elements Ruins Realm to kill Zhang Ruochen, he didn’t hesitate to agree.
Nie Wenlong said, “Anyway, even if you don’t hand over the Sherri Sons, after I kill you, they will still fall into my pocket. I’ll give you three breaths to think about it, what do you think?”
A smile appeared on Zhang Ruochen’s face as he stared at Nie Wenlong as if he was looking at an idiot, saying, “Do you believe that I can defeat you in just three breaths of time?”
Nie Wenlong’s eyes sank as he coldly said, “You won’t shed a tear until you see the coffin.”
“Hundred Poison Divine Palm.”
“Swish!”
Nie Wenlong’s legs stomped, exploding his speed to the extreme, reaching twice the speed of sound.
The true qi in his body, which was rapidly revolving, rushed to his palm and slapped it out.
That one palm, which turned colourful, and from its pores, spat out an extremely corrosive poisonous mist that struck Zhang Ruochen’s chest.
Zhang Ruochen’s arms unfolded as if he had transformed into a large bird and flew out backwards, using his Body Protecting Heavenly Deity to continuously dissolve Nie Wenlong’s palm force.
The Hundred Poisons Divine Palm, a Ghost Grade Lower Grade martial art, quenched hundreds of virulent poisons into the body in order to cultivate the palm successfully.
With each additional poison, the power of the palm would increase by one point.
If one refined thousands of virulent poisons into their body, they would be able to cultivate the Thousand Poison Divine Palm to reach the power of a Ghost Grade Middle Grade Martial Skill.
Corresponding to this, the Ten Thousand Poison Divine Palm, reached the Ghost Grade Upper Grade.
When the palm technique was fully accomplished, with a single palm strike, even if the palm force couldn’t destroy a city, it could still poison a city’s living beings with the poisonous gas contained in the palm wind.
Nie Wenlong had already refined one hundred and seventy-three types of poison into his body, and with just a palm wind, he made the surrounding grass and trees wither at a speed visible to the naked eye.
His paw, stepping on the ground, directly left a black corrosive footprint, causing the soil to make a giggling sound.
Zhang Ruochen had the Dragon Pearl protecting his body, so he was not afraid of his Hundred Poison Divine Palm.
Zhang Ruochen glanced towards the distant Divine Wreckage Dharma King, making up his mind to get rid of Nie Wenlong as fast as possible, and then slowly clean up the Divine Wreckage Dharma King, his one big enemy.
“Wow!”
Above Zhang Ruochen’s head, a pillar of light rushed up, releasing the Martial Soul.
The Martial Soul, suspended above Zhang Ruochen’s head, quickly mobilised the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.
The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi madly surged towards Zhang Ruochen, forming a huge vortex that continuously entered the Divine Martial Seal in the centre of his eyebrows.
Nie Wenlong’s face changed violently as he exclaimed, “How could your martial soul be so powerful?”
Even though Nie Wenlong had not released his martial soul, he could still feel that Zhang Ruochen’s martial soul was generating a powerful pressure that seemed to be trying to squeeze his martial soul out of his body.
That was simply not the kind of martial soul that a Heavenly Extreme Realm martial artist should possess.
Of course, Nie Wenlong could also release his martial soul and use it to mobilise his aura to fight Zhang Ruochen.
Only, if he did that, he would lose even faster.
Nie Wenlong was experienced in battle and did not panic, immediately revolving his true qi to protect his martial soul as he fell backward sharply.
He immediately twisted his body and stomped his legs on the ground, jumping off the cliff and rushing down the mountain.
“Want to escape? Isn’t it too late?”
Zhang Ruochen jumped off the cliff right after him, continuously striking the Dragon Elephant Palm and stimulating the power of the Dragon Pearl.
With a wow sound, on his body, a layer of dragon scales emerged, and a pair of huge golden dragon wings rushed out from his back.
With a flap of the dragon wings, Zhang Ruochen’s speed increased dramatically, chasing after Nie Wenlong above his back and pressing down with a palm.
“Divine Dragon’s Tribulation.”
In the centre of Zhang Ruochen’s palm, dozens of electric lights surged out, rushing in all directions, and faintly, a dragon shadow flew out in the electric lights.
After borrowing the Martial Soul, how powerful was Zhang Ruochen’s palm?
The scene in front of Nie Wenlong’s eyes completely disappeared under the influence of the palm force, and there was only a golden dragon claw, hundreds of metres huge, slapping down from above, like a five-fingered mountain.
Of course, it wasn’t that Zhang Ruochen had actually struck a dragon claw that was hundreds of metres large, it was just the aura of that palm that created an illusion for Nie Wenlong.
