The Treasure Seeking Compass seems to be a good thing”
Zhang Ruochen nodded in satisfaction and let Lin Yue go.
If he had the Treasure Seeking Compass, Zhang Ruochen would be able to go searching for the Sacred Stone on his own, without having to go back to Qing Yun County City to trade with Duanmu Ya, and without having to worry about being found out by Mu Lingshi’s true identity.
The green-robed old Taoist coldly glared at Lin Yue, how could he not see that Lin Yue would succumb so easily, could it be that evil characters were that scary?
Zhang Ruochen walked to the green-robed old Taoist’s side, his palm, filled with electricity, pressed on the green-robed old Taoist’s forehead, in case he suddenly made a sneak attack.
Zhang Ruochen’s other hand, groped around the body of the green-robed old Taoist and found a black iron cast compass.
This was it!
Zhang Ruochen touched it out of the green-robed old Taoist’s arms and cupped it in his hand, and vaguely, he could feel two distinct air currents, one cold and one hot, gushing out from the compass, causing half of Zhang Ruochen’s palm to become cold and half to become fiery hot.
“It’s actually a vessel forged with Yin Yang Xuan Stone, it’s a good ancient weapon.”
Zhang Ruochen held the Treasure Seeking Compass in his palm and was about to ask the green-robed old Taoist about the usage of the compass.
Suddenly, he seemed to be sensing something, his heart tightened, the sweaty hairs on his entire body stood up, and a wave of cool air, rising from the soles of his feet, passed through his back, and went straight to his head.
At the same time, Zhang Ruochen’s nerves were, in an instant, completely taut, every joint movement in his entire body stiffened, not daring to move at all.
Killing Qi.
A very terrifying killing aura.
Moreover, Zhang Ruochen could be sure that that one killer was only ten feet away from him, or even closer.
“What a powerful Qi Convergence Technique, actually able to silently approach within ten zhang of me. Who on earth is it?”Zhang Ruochen’s heart was secretly shocked, and his vest was full of cold sweat.
Coming to the Eastern Region Evil Land, Zhang Ruochen only had a grudge against the Blood Cloud Sect.
In that case, it seemed that the person potentially near Zhang Ruochen must be the top assassin of the Blood Cloud Sect.
The disciples of the Two Eyes Sect, however, did not know that there were assassins hiding nearby. They only saw that Zhang Ruochen had suddenly become motionless, and they couldn’t help but feel a little strange in their hearts.
What was wrong with him?
The reason why Zhang Ruochen didn’t move was because, he only sensed the killing aura, but he didn’t know the other party’s exact location. If he rushed out, he would only expose more cracks and give the other party an opportunity to take advantage of it. In that case, it would be better to wait for the other party to strike first.
As long as the other party struck, Zhang Ruochen would be able to find his exact location…
The assassin hidden in the shadows, knowing that Zhang Ruochen had already sensed something, thus, he did not wait any longer and immediately stabbed out with his sword, striking at Zhang Ruochen’s vest.
“Wow!”
In the air, a circle of transparent ripples appeared, as if it was a liquid wave of water, surging towards Zhang Ruochen.
A three-finger wide sword stabbed out from the true qi ripples, transforming into a piercing bloody light that pierced through Zhang Ruochen’s clothes, and was about to pierce through Zhang Ruochen’s body.
Zhang Ruochen executed the Thunder Running Technique, transforming into a ray of electricity, and moved three steps sideways, narrowly avoiding the sword stabbed out by the killer.
With a piercing sound, the robe on Zhang Ruochen’s back was torn by the sword Qi, cutting a long gash. From this, it could be seen how treacherous it was just now.
Even if Zhang Ruochen’s speed was only delayed by a split second, it was estimated that there would have been an additional bloody hole in his body.
“Wind Thunder Finger!”
Zhang Ruochen immediately backtracked and mobilised his spiritual power, pointing a finger out, striking at the black-clothed assassin who had exposed his figure.
The killer’s speed, too, was incredibly fast, and without any hesitation, he immediately previously made a vertical leap, as if he had jumped into another space, and disappeared without a trace again.
The Wind and Thunder Finger that Zhang Ruochen struck out, struck in mid-air and turned into an electric shuttle, not injuring the black-clothed killer at all.
The opponent was a top assassin who had killed countless people, moreover, his cultivation level was also incredibly high, and even though Zhang Ruochen’s strike was fast, he was still half a beat slower.
“What a powerful Qi Convergence Technique, even my spiritual power can’t detect you.”
Zhang Ruochen stopped once again, only condensing his spiritual energy to be secretly on guard, not continuing his attack.
In the air, a low voice rang out, saying, “Your Excellency’s alertness is also one of the highest amongst the cultivators Luo has seen. The fact that you were able to dodge one of my swords is already quite remarkable, and from this, it is clear that Fang Jie and Cao Ying’s deaths at your hands were not unfair at all.”
The voice of the other party surrounded the surroundings.
However, it was impossible to localise the voice at all, it was like dozens of people, voicing in Zhang Ruochen’s ears at the same time, near and far, making people puzzled.
Zhang Ruochen’s face remained unchanged as he said, “Your cultivation is not low, among the top ten top killers of the Blood Cloud Sect, you should be able to be ranked in the top five, right?”
“You guessed correctly, I am indeed from the Blood Cloud Sect. Be sure to listen carefully, the person who killed you is called Luo Shi. When you reach hell, don’t wrongly accuse someone else.”
In the air, that one low voice, once again rang out.
Lin Yue, who was kneeling on the side, exclaimed, “Blood Cloud Sect’s number four killer, Luo Shi.”
The disciples of the Two Yi Sect were once again stunned, and a strong fear arose in their hearts.
Luo Shi’s name, decades ago, had already shaken the party, and even in the entire Eastern Region’s assassin world, he could still be ranked.
For the younger generation of disciples, Luo Shi’s name could be completely equated with a murderous devil.
How many young disciples who stayed in the Two Element Sect all year round would not be afraid when, all of a sudden, they met the legendary great devil?
“That one masked man is the mysterious expert who killed Fang Jie and Cao Ying, we actually want to snatch his holy stone, we’re simply looking for death.”
“How is it so unlucky that just after coming out to practice, we encountered two great devils of the Evil Dao.”
Even the green-robed old Taoist was very shocked, he simply did not expect that he would actually meet Luo Shi, a murderous devil, had he known that he should not have moved to greed because of the holy stone.
What was the use of regret?
Once the two great devils fought, dozens of miles in a radius would become their battle circle, and even just the aftermath of the battle that escaped would be able to crush them.
While all the disciples of the Two Element Sect were in panic, Zhang Ruochen was exceptionally calm and did not panic in the slightest.
“It seems that the only way to find him out is to use the Spatial Domain.”
Zhang Ruochen no longer continued to wait and prepared to take the initiative. He slowly released his Spatial Domain and began to probe for Luo Shi.
Soon, Zhang Ruochen spotted a faint breath fluctuation seven feet away from the left side of his body.
When Zhang Ruochen’s Spatial Domain, covered him, it was revealed that a humanoid outline could be spotted. However, using the naked eye and mental power, he could not be detected at all.
“Worthy of being a top assassin, the means of hiding one’s figure is truly formidable, even if one is a top powerhouse of the Ninth Transformation of the Fish Dragon, the slightest slip-up would most likely result in him being killed.”
Since he had discovered Luo Shi’s trail, Zhang Ruochen did not hesitate to strike.
“Nine Cutting Electricity Blade.”
Without warning, Zhang Ruochen immediately turned around and swung his arm to slash in Luo Shi’s direction.
“Puffing!”
Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi converged over like waves of water, condensing into more than ten-metre-long lightning blade patterns, one slash connecting with the other, striking towards Luo Shi.
“How is it possible?”
How could Luo Shi expect that Zhang Ruochen was able to discover his position?
With a “pfft” sound, an electric blade directly struck Luo Shi’s body, sending him flying.
Fortunately, he had a protective treasure on his body that blocked the blow for him. Otherwise, with the power of the first electric blade, it would have been able to seriously injure him.
Even though the protective treasure had helped him block it, Zhang Ruochen’s attack, which was comparable to the power of a Fish Dragon Eighth Transformation Cultivator, still struck the defenceless Luo Shi to the point where his entire body was churning with blood and Qi in his meridians, making it difficult to smooth out.
Originally, it should have been him, the one assassin, who had taken Zhang Ruochen by surprise and killed him. However, he didn’t expect that it would be the other way round, and Zhang Ruochen would unexpectedly beat him to a pulp.
For a top assassin, this was quite a shameful thing.
Luo Shi ran his gongfu, wanting to stabilise the true qi in his body, but Zhang Ruochen didn’t give him that chance. “With a giggle, the second Lightning Blade Pattern had already appeared in front of him.
The energy in the Body Protecting Treasure had already been depleted, so Luo Shi didn’t dare to continue using his flesh and blood body to resist the Lightning Blade Pattern. In his haste, he tried his best to transport his true qi to his arms, held his sword with both hands, gathered his strength, and chopped forward.
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
Eight Lightning Blade Ripples in a row fell one after another, one more powerful than the other, beating Luo Shi to the point that he kept retreating.
When he had completely received the “Nine Chopping Electricity Blades” executed by Zhang Ruochen, both of his arms were completely numbed by the lightning strikes, and he lost consciousness, dropping down softly.
Luo Shi had been an assassin for decades, but this was the first time he had been beaten so badly.
The Nine Beheading Electricity Blade was considered to be at the top level within the first level spells.
Since Zhang Ruochen had successfully cultivated this one type of spell, Luo Shi was the first person who was able to block all nine Electricity Slashes. From this, it could be seen that although he was an assassin, his own strength was not weak.
“With a cultivation of Fish Dragon Seventh Transformation, yet, possessing the strength to fight against a Fish Dragon Eighth Transformation cultivator, even in a head-to-head battle, he would still be a formidable foe.”Zhang Ruochen’s heart secretly said.
Reaching the Fish Dragon Realm, except for Sacred Body and some special physique cultivators, for other cultivators, it was quite a difficult thing to fight across realms.
After all, which of those who were able to reach the Fish Dragon Realm were not outstanding human beings?
For Luo Shi to be able to cross a realm to face the enemy, he was considered a leader amongst the Fish Dragon Realm cultivators. It was just a pity that from the very beginning, he was too gullible and was taken advantage of by Zhang Ruochen.
“Wind Thunder Finger.”
Zhang Ruochen didn’t give Luo Shi a chance to catch his breath at all as he struck out with a single finger, a bowl-thick electric shuttle that flew out from his fingertip, erupting with a powerful force.
If one were to say that the “Nine Cutting Electricity Blade” was the most powerful move within the Grade 1 Lightning System Spells, then the “Wind Thunder Finger” was the most powerful move. Then the “Wind Thunder Finger” was the most cohesive move in terms of power, and could easily break through a cultivator’s protective astral aura.
