In the other direction, Xiao Hei and the King of Ten Thousand Elephants were also fighting to the death.
Xiao Hei’s strength, which was in between Zhang Ruochen’s and Zhang Ruochen’s, was originally a huge difference from the Ten Thousand Elephant King.
However, it released thirty-six Half-Saint War Corpses and arranged them into a battle formation, with the power of all the War Corpses converging on it.
It was in this way that Little Black unexpectedly entangled the Wanxiang King, making it impossible for him to rescue Mr Haimin.
The Wanxiang King was so furious that he roared, executing a Ghost Grade Upper Grade Fist Technique that shattered six or seven Half-Saint War Corpses in a row into nothing more than broken bones.
Zhang Ruochen’s gaze, towards Xiao Hei’s direction, stared and said, “The cultivation of that Military Half-Saint is truly terrifying, even if we join forces together, we will probably lose more than we win.”?Li-Min said, “He should be the county governor of Wanxiang County, Gu Yi Shen, the court has named him the Wanxiang King, and it is said that his cultivation has reached the realm of a Sixth Order Half-Saint. The strength of the Wanxiang King is amongst the top amongst the various County Guards of the 36 counties of Yuanfu.”
Zhang Ruochen pondered slightly and said, “Since Little Black blocked him out, we’ll exit the Elephant King Ancient Forest first.”
“Then, what about Master Black?”The Elephant Swallowing Rabbit said.
“Don’t worry, if it wants to get away, the Ten Thousand Elephant King won’t be able to stop it at all.”
Zhang Ruochen, Devil Ape, Devouring Elephant Rabbit, and Li-Min hurriedly rushed on, and soon rushed out of the Elephant King Ancient Forest.
Immediately after, Zhang Ruochen retrieved the Demonic Ape and the Elephant Spitting Rabbit back into the Tutelary World, and alone, he grabbed Li-Min, and executed the Luan Feng Divine Seal Blast and flew into into the cloud layer.
Only after fleeing ten thousand miles in a row did Zhang Ruochen stop for the time being.
Not long after, Little Black caught up and joined Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen released his spiritual power to probe the direction behind Little Black, wary of the Wanxiang King catching up.
“Don’t worry, this King has already lost him, he shouldn’t be able to find this place for a while.”
Xiao Hei shook his head repeatedly, gritted his teeth, and said, “Zhang Ruochen, since you’ve already obtained the Elephant Blood, you must successfully cultivate the ninth palm of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm as soon as possible, and impact the 10th Transformation of the Fish Dragon.”
“Your cultivation will increase so that this Emperor can also go and take revenge on that Military Half-Saint. He actually destroyed more than twenty Half-Saint War Corpses that this Emperor had painstakingly refined, this Emperor has never suffered such a great loss before.”
Zhang Ruochen said, “When the Wanxiang King knows the direction we fled towards Qingli County, he will definitely send a message in advance to the Ten Great Masters sitting in Qingli County. At this time, if we continue to return to Qingli County City, we will definitely be intercepted.”
“What do you mean?”Little Black asked.
“Let’s find a hidden place to hide first, just so we can take this opportunity to cultivate the ninth palm of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm in seclusion.”Zhang Ruochen said.
When Ri Min heard Zhang Ruochen and Xiao Hei’s conversation, she immediately, widened her eyes and exclaimed, “The Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm is the number one palm of the Buddhist Dao, and it’s said that very few people are able to cultivate up to the seventh palm, and you’re actually going to start cultivating the ninth palm already?”
“The ninth palm is known as ‘Born Scale Transforming Dragon’, once successfully cultivated, one can change into a giant dragon and explode with the power to overturn rivers, is that really true?”
With regards to Li-Min, Zhang Ruochen felt a headache and finally realised that bringing her out was really a wrong choice.
As if he couldn’t hear Ri Min’s voice, Zhang Ruochen gave another command to Xiao Hei, saying, “Find a large abandoned altar for me and capture some savage beast sacrifices. I’ll likely use them when I impact the Fish Dragon Tenth Transformation.”
“You’re going to impact the legendary Fish Dragon Tenth Transformation ‘True God Fate’?”
“How is that possible?”
“It is said that after the Middle Ages, no one has been able to succeed again, even the number one Empress Lord in the world failed to do so. Zhang Ruochen, you can’t be bragging, right?”Ri Min stared over with a sideways glance, simply unable to believe that Zhang Ruochen was able to do something that even the Empress could not do.
Zhang Ruochen blackened his face and glared at her, saying, “Believe it or not, I can seal your mouth shut?”
After all, Li-Min was only a teenage girl, and when she was glared at by Zhang Ruochen, she immediately took two steps back, feeling her legs a little soft, like a frightened quail.
Having seen Zhang Ruochen’s previous explosion of heaven destroying means, in fact, deep down, Lai Min was still quite afraid of Zhang Ruochen.
“What are you …… doing being so fierce?”
Li-Min shook her leg while saying with some aggression, “Actually, I know that there is a large abandoned altar that is not far from here, it shouldn’t be far. I wanted to bring you there, but …… you’re so fierce, I decided to reconsider.”
In fact, she was also very afraid of angering Zhang Ruochen, so she spoke with very little energy, her voice getting smaller and smaller.?Zhang Ruochen stared towards her and thought for a moment, then, from within the spatial boundary, he took out a fist-sized red bead and said, “You should know, what is this, right?”
When Ri Min saw the red bead in Zhang Ruochen’s hand, her eyes became very bright as she said, “The crown of flesh that grows on top of the Red Cloud Python Jiao’s head is known as the Red Crown Flesh Ganoderma, which is a Spiritual Medicine that enhances spiritual power.”
The Red Crown Flesh Ganoderma was a treasure that Zhang Ruochen had obtained in the Market Realm Battlefield, and it was no longer of much use to him.
However, to Li-Min, the Red Crown Flesh Ganoderma was a non-trivial treasure, especially if she took it for the first time, she was afraid that it could raise the strength of her spiritual power by one, or even two, orders.
“Speak! Where is that one large abandoned altar located, just tell me and the Red Crown Flesh Ganoderma will be yours.”
Zhang Ruochen held the red bead in one hand and placed it in front of Ri Min. The image was as if an unsuspecting uncle was tempting a little girl to eat a poisonous apple.
Ri Min pursed her lips, and although, trying to put on a reserved appearance, she still couldn’t resist the temptation of the red-crowned meat ganoderma. She stretched out a pair of small, delicate hands and snatched it over, holding it tightly in her hands, fearing that Zhang Ruochen would snatch it back again.
“I’ll take you there now, according to the book, our current location, which is not very far away from there, shouldn’t be very far.”
Ri Min walked towards Zhang Ruochen and took the initiative to grab one of Zhang Ruochen’s arms. Because, she knew that next, Zhang Ruochen would definitely use his Saint Qi again to roll her over and grab her to fly together.
Zhang Ruochen glanced at her indifferently as he operated his Saint Qi and struck the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword out, performing the Sword Royal Flight Technique and flying out.
Flying with the Imperial Sword was a bit smoother than flying with the Luanfeng Divine Seal Disorder.
The place that Li-Min pointed to was an abandoned ancient city.
There, it was once extremely prosperous, but because of the war eight hundred years ago, the entire city was reduced to rubble, and all the humans died out. Only the altar in the centre of the city was still towering there like a yellowish-brown hill.
“Eight hundred years ago, this city, was a border town of the Sacred Brightness Central Empire, and was a bit larger than the current scale of Qingli County City.”
“Later, when the Sacred Brightness Central Empire went to war with the Qing Chi Central Empire, a Saint in the Qing Chi Central Empire** camp used an evil art that killed all the humans in the city, including the army and ordinary people, in just one strike.
“The power of the evil art has not dissipated even to this day, so this ancient city, too, has remained deserted, and very few people will come here.”Ri Min said.
In the ancient city, there was indeed a strong evil aura that remained, causing a hundred miles in a radius to be turned into a yellow sandy Gobi, with not an inch of grass growing.
Zhang Ruochen stood at the bottom of the city, gazing at the dilapidated city gates in front of him, feeling rather mournful, and took a deep breath before feeling slightly better.
It could be imagined how tragic the war was back then, and it was unknown how many innocent people of the Sacred Brightness Central Empire had died tragically, with their families broken and displaced.
“Let’s go!”
Zhang Ruochen exhaled a breath and suppressed the emotions in his heart as he walked into the city gates first.
The evil aura in the city was already very faint, and it did not have much effect on Zhang Ruochen.
When he entered the city, Zhang Ruochen entered the world of scrolls and extracted the Silver Moon Dragon Elephant’s blood, completely, into a Ruyi Treasure Vase.
At the same time, he took out three more drops of the Dragon Emperor’s blood and placed them in front of him.
He then held up the Ruyi Treasure Vase and began to swallow the elephant blood, and took another drop of the Dragon Emperor’s blood, along with it, into his mouth.
The dragon blood and elephant blood were like magma, radiating blazing flames that burned inside Zhang Ruochen’s body, first quenching his internal organs, and then from the inside out, quenching his sinews, muscles, and skin.
Zhang Ruochen’s body was like a tripod.
The dragon blood and elephant blood were the flames in the tripod.
As, the flames burned more and more exuberantly, Zhang Ruochen’s body produced inexhaustible power and felt more and more braced.
“Roar!”
From Zhang Ruochen’s mouth, a long roar came out, and dragon scales grew on the surface of his skin, transforming into a fiery dragon that shot up into the sky.
While flying, the dragon’s claws were also continuously slapping out, striking out a palm imprint that resounded with dense air explosions.
The ninth palm of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm was called “Scale Transformation Dragon”, and as long as it was successfully cultivated, the grade of this palm would be upgraded to the upper grade of the Ghost Grade.
Of course, when it was truly unleashed, it could explode with the power of a quasi Saint Art, equivalent to a most rigid and fierce technique.
As long as the Sacred Art was not out, a single palm seal could break all the martial arts in the world.
Zhang Ruochen possessed the Dragon Pearl and could already transform into a dragon body before he had successfully cultivated the ninth palm.
Therefore, he could completely transform into a dragon body before cultivating the ninth palm, and in this way, the difficulty of cultivation, too, was much lower.
Just when Zhang Ruochen was in seclusion to cultivate the ninth palm of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm, the King of Ten Thousand Elephants also spread the news of Zhang Ruochen’s appearance in the Elephant King’s Ancient Forest to the county town of Qingli County.
The five great experts sitting in the county town received the news, and at the first opportunity, they went out and split into five directions, rushing towards Wanxiang County. The five of them were like an unfurling net, only if Zhang Ruochen returned to Qingli County, he would fall into their net.
On top of that, the military commanders of the four surrounding counties also led their elite armies into Qingli County, searching for Zhang Ruochen’s traces.
Because of Zhang Ruochen alone, the entire northern part of Yuanfu had become completely turned upside down.
As the news of Zhang Ruochen’s appearance in Qingli County quickly travelled into the Central Region, it naturally attracted the attention of many forces as well.
The Taiji Dao, the Hall of Brightness, the four sects of Confucianism, the Ghost Raising Ancient Clan, and the Corpse Catching Ancient Clan …… were all major forces that had sent out strong people to rush to the Yuanfu.
All parties had different purposes, some wanted to seize the treasures on Zhang Ruochen’s body; some wanted to capture Zhang Ruochen and use him to deal with the Wan Clan; there were also some people who were Zhang Ruochen’s enemies and were here to take his life.
