Zhang Ruochen could be certain that the other party was by no means a Half Saint.
Although the black-robed man was very powerful, he was not so powerful as to make Zhang Ruochen despair, he should also be a forty-fourth ranked Spiritual Power Master. Only, the other party’s attainments above spiritual power far exceeded Zhang Ruochen’s.
This person should be, the Lone Shadow Peak’s Peak Master, the Ice Demon.
After all, the number of spiritual power masters who could cultivate their spiritual power to the forty-fourth rank was already scarce, not to mention, the other party could also manipulate the power of cold ice. Other than the Ice Demon, Zhang Ruochen couldn’t think of anyone else.
It did not occur to him that he would meet up with this Evil Dao Fierce Man so soon.
The Ice Demon was already over a hundred years old, and in the Evil Dao, had an extremely high seniority, and as early as thirty years ago, his spiritual power had already reached the forty-fourth rank.
Based on the aura emanating from his body, Zhang Ruochen could judge that the strength of his spiritual power, even if it did not reach the peak of the forty-fourth rank, had already reached the high rank of the forty-fourth rank.
Zhang Ruochen could only be considered to have just stepped into the forty-fourth rank right now, and his spiritual strength could not even be compared to his.
“This old devil’s strength is far too powerful than the Red Lust Star Envoy’s prediction.”Zhang Ruochen’s heart murmured.
Only a Spiritual Power Master of the same forty-fourth rank would be able to perceive the terror of the Ice Demon.
The Ice Demon seemed to be a little impatient and said in a cold voice, “How’s the consideration going? The old man’s patience is quite limited.”
Despite the opponent’s strength, Zhang Ruochen remained unchanged as he said, “Ice Demon, if you tell me where the Demon Sect’s Holy Maiden is, I will release him.”
“Since you know the old man’s name, you still dare to make a condition, lol lol, young people nowadays are really something.”
The Ice Devil immediately executed his Heavenly Eyes, transforming into a pillar of light and staring towards Zhang Ruochen, wanting to see Zhang Ruochen’s true appearance underneath his mask.
Ice Demon’s mental strength was far superior to Zhang Ruochen’s, and with the Heavenly Eye, he would definitely be able to recognise Zhang Ruochen’s true face.
Not being able to sit back and wait for death, Zhang Ruochen’s eyes revealed a cold light, immediately catalysing the thunderbolt and stabbing forward.
The purple electric blade penetrated through the Snowman Warrior’s brow, breaking through his Qi Sea and leaving a bloody hole.
“Senior uncle, save me.”
Blood continued to gush out from the Snowman Warrior’s brow as he cried out miserably, his body tilting as he fell off the griffin’s back.
After killing the Yeti Warrior, Zhang Ruochen immediately executed the Thunder Running Art and hurriedly disappeared into the distance.
How would the Ice Demon have expected that the other party would suddenly strike, and he was slightly dumbfounded for a moment, followed by an earth-shattering bellowing cry coming out of his mouth, “Where to escape?”
“Cold blades like rain.”
The Ice Demon held a withered wood staff and mobilised the vast heaven and earth aura, condensing it into a cloud of cold air and mist, waving it out in the direction where Zhang Ruochen had fled.
The cold mist condensed into the form of a thousand armies, emitting a whistling sound, and there were countless blades shuttling between the thousands of armies, and in an instant, it had chased Zhang Ruochen behind him.
Zhang Ruochen could only feel a mountain of cold air pressing down on him, and the blood in his entire body, almost froze.
“Earth Destruction Electricity Sea.”
Zhang Ruochen turned around boldly and lifted the Thunder Bead.
Immediately, with the Thunder Bead as the centre, the aura between heaven and earth was continuously transformed into thunder and lightning, converging into a sea of electricity that blasted forward.
Even if one was standing five hundred miles away, one could see that there was a thundercloud and a cold fog clashing in the sky, erupting with earth-shattering sounds.
Thunder roared.
Cold winds howled.
All of the savage beasts in the Falling God Mountain Ridge were so frightened by the sound in the sky that they fell to the ground and hibernated.
“Swish swish.”
On the ground, the evil cultivators of the black market also all rushed out, some standing in the treetops, some standing at the edge of the cliffs, and some standing on the rocks, and all of them looked out at the wondrous scene in the sky.
The duel between the two forty-fourth ranked spiritual power masters were both mobilising the power of the heavens and earth, causing the destructive force to be extremely terrifying, causing cold sweat to break out all over the body of the Evil Dao martial practitioners of the Fish Dragon Realm.
“In addition to Lord Ice Demon, another spiritual power master has unexpectedly appeared. Who is this person?”
“Whoever dares to fight with Lord Ice Demon will definitely die.”
With just a single blow against each other, Zhang Ruochen’s body was sealed by cold ice and fell vertically downwards.
Falling from a height of thousands of metres, even for a Fish Dragon Third Transformation cultivator who had cultivated into Golden Skin and Jade Bones, I was afraid that he would be seriously injured.
When Zhang Ruochen was only a hundred metres away from the ground, he only heard a “pop” sound as a lightning bolt flew down from the sky, breaking the cold ice.
Zhang Ruochen immediately broke through the ice, and his entire body was wrapped in purple lightning, transforming into an electric light that flew towards the sky.
“Huh!”
The Ice Demon was very surprised, not expecting the other party to actually be able to break through the cold ice at all, it was just unbelievable.
“To be able to block the cold blades like rain, this son must be a forty-fourth rank Spiritual Power Master, could it be that he is the one that the Red Desire Star made sealed as a Great Protector?”
Coming to Qing Yun County, Ice Demon’s biggest mission was to kill the Red Lust Star Envoy’s Grand Protector, Zhang Shengming.
Since, that one Thunderbolt-type Spiritual Power Master just now was most likely Zhang Shengming. Then, the Ice Demon would have to chase after it and kill it no matter what.
The Ice Demon roared, “The Red Willow Villa’s Great Protector has appeared, everyone, immediately move out and make sure to surround and kill him.”
His voice, transmitted out through his spiritual power, travelled into the ears of all the Evil Dao cultivators hidden in the surroundings.
Immediately, a sound of breaking wind resounded from the dark clumps of mountains, and an unknown number of Evil Dao cultivators all chased after Zhang Ruochen in the direction he had left.
The Ice Demon cast a speed-enhancing spell and chased after Zhang Ruochen ahead first.
“The black market has unexpectedly gathered so many experts, so it seems that Senior Sister Duanmu should be hiding nearby.”
When Zhang Ruochen saw that the Ice Demon was chasing him closer and closer, he immediately took out the most precious treasure given to him by his third senior brother, the “Meteor Invisibility Clothes”, and put it on his body.
In an instant, Zhang Ruochen’s figure completely disappeared and became invisible.
The Ice Demon chased after Zhang Ruochen to where he was just now and snorted coldly, “Even if you have cultivated the art of concealment, you can’t escape my Heavenly Eyes.”
“Open.”
The Ice Devil stood in the air and opened his Heavenly Eye, a greenish vertical eye emerging from his brow, shooting out a three-foot-long light.
After looking around, the Ice Demon did not find anything, his mouth could not help but let out a soft eep and became cautious, muttering to himself, “How could this be? Could it be that his mental strength is still above me? No, if he has such strong spiritual power, why is he running away?”
The Meteor Invisibility Vest, what a treasure, not to mention a 44th ranked Spiritual Power Master, if Zhang Ruochen stood still, did not touch any external objects, and did not use his True Qi or Spiritual Power, it would be very difficult for even Saints to detect his aura.
Zhang Ruochen, who had put on the Meteor Invisibility Clothes, had quietly and silently dropped to the ground.
Although the Ice Demon’s spiritual power was very strong, Zhang Ruochen still had a certain chance of assassinating him as long as he was careful.
Zhang Ruochen was about to approach over, when suddenly, another powerful power fluctuation came from the distance, only to see, a green-clothed woman with a sword on her back, shifted and appeared at the top of an ancient maple tree not far from Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen immediately stopped his steps and frowned slightly, “How come the green-clothed Star Envoy has also rushed here?”
The Orange Moon Star Envoy had told Zhang Ruochen that amongst the seven Star Envoys, the Green Clothed Star Envoy’s talent was enough to rank amongst the top three, and possessed the “Green Cloud Saint Body”, so it would be best not to mess with him if he was able to do so.
If the Ice Demon and the Green Clothed Star Envoy were alone, Zhang Ruochen had more than 70% certainty that he could assassinate them.
However, the two of them meeting together would be quite troublesome. If Zhang Ruochen struck now, it would definitely be a vicious battle that would be unavoidable and delay the rescue instead.
Zhang Ruochen was worried about Mu Lingshi’s safety and didn’t make a move now, quietly standing in place and observing the Star Envoy in Green and the Ice Demon.
The green-clothed Star Envoy asked, “Can’t find him?”
The Ice Demon stood in mid-air, put away his Heavenly Eyes, shook his head, and said, “He should have used the holy decree and already fled this area.”
“It’s really strange, how could a Red Desire Star Envoy’s enthroned Grand Protector risk coming to regarding the Demon Sect’s Holy Maiden?”The green-clothed Star Envoy said in confusion.
“There’s nothing strange about it, perhaps, the Red Desire Star Envoy has already joined forces with the Holy Daughter of the Devil Cult.”The Ice Demon thought of himself as experienced, as if nothing could be hidden from him.
The green-clothed Star Envoy snorted coldly, “The Black Market’s battle for the heir is very cruel, but it never allows hostile forces to intervene. If, for example, the Red Desire Star Envoy really dares to join forces with the Holy Daughter of the Devil Cult, the Elder Council will naturally clean her up.”
“As long as we can’t catch her, the Elder Council can’t do anything about her.”The Ice Demon laughed, “Star Envoy Qing Yi, I think it’s better to continue to capture the Demon Sect Holy Maiden. As long as we capture the Holy Daughter of the Devil Cult, not only will we be able to negotiate with the Devil Cult, we will also be able to find evidence of the Red Desire Star Envoy’s collusion with the Devil Cult, and bring her down without seeing any bloodshed, so it can be said to be two birds with one stone.”
After the Ice Demon and the green-clothed Star Envoy left, Zhang Ruochen immediately performed his Body Technique and rushed into the dense forest.
“The Evil Dao martial artists from the Black Market have blocked off a 3,000 mile radius, so it seems that Senior Sister Duanmu should be in this area. I must rush to find her before the Evil Dao martial artists do.”
The Ice Demon was nearby, and Zhang Ruochen didn’t dare to rashly use his spiritual power to probe, so as not to lure the Ice Demon over again.
The jungle with a circumference of 3,000 miles, when it was said to be not big, it was indeed not big, with Zhang Ruochen’s current speed, he would be able to cross it within two hours.
However, when it was said to be vast, it was also quite vast, as large as the territory of an inferior county, and without using spiritual power, even if it took ten to eight years, it might not be able to find a person out.
Since Mu Lingshi was injured, she would definitely hide herself. Zhang Ruochen could only rely on luck if he wanted to find her.
Although Zhang Ruochen could not use his spiritual power, with his martial arts cultivation, he had superb senses of sight, hearing, touch, smell and taste, his five senses surpassed normal people by many times.
In this way, the speed of his search was still not slow.
Suddenly, Zhang Ruochen’s ears twitched as he heard the sound of two rapidly running footsteps resounding fifty miles away.
“Swish!”
Zhang Ruochen performed a Spatial Shift and disappeared from his original spot.
After many diversions, Zhang Ruochen landed on a highland halfway up a mountain and finally saw the owner of the two footsteps.
