The dragon ball soared up, emitting a dazzling light, like a small golden sun, with astonishing heat, as if it could melt the earth.
As long as the Dragon Ball can knock down the Langhuan Golden Bell, this forbidden city will be opened. The strong men in the 31st City will naturally find that the black market monks are attacking the Silver Sky Mercenary Group.
Especially the imperial court.
The imperial court of the First Central Empire deeply hated the black market. Once it discovered that black market monks appeared in the city, it would immediately send troops from the Ministry of War to destroy them.
Just as the dragon ball was about to collide with the Langhuan Golden Bell, suddenly, a thin old man wearing a gray robe flew out from above the dragon ball.
The old man in gray robe seemed to appear out of thin air, which was extremely strange. He stepped on the void and ran quickly towards the dragon ball.
A purple crescent mark appeared between his eyebrows.
"Wow!"
A sacred power rushed out from the crescent mark and turned into a pillar of light, knocking the dragon ball backwards and hitting the ground with a huge roar.
The ground suddenly shook, and a huge crater appeared.
The golden flames melted the mud and rocks around the crater, turning it into a burnt black mirror.
"Someone can actually shoot down the Dragon Ball!"
The expressions of all the soldiers of the Silver Sky Mercenary Group changed drastically. They could feel the power of that force just now.
The old man in gray robe stopped and stood in the void. He exuded an overwhelming aura, which condensed into waves of substantial air and fell from the sky.
The warriors from the Black Market and Yin Kong Mercenary Group were all suppressed and knelt on the ground.
Only a few people, including Emperor Yi, Zifeng Star Envoy, and Yin Yue Linkong, could still remain standing.
Zhang Ruochen immediately called back the dragon ball, held it above his head, and kept pouring his true energy into it. With the power of the dragon ball, he finally managed to resist the momentum of the old man.
"Nascent Soul Old Demon."
Zhang Ruochen's expression changed, and he recognized the old man in gray robe standing in the air. He was the black market half-sage, Nascent Soul, who had rescued Emperor Yi in the Tongming River.
The half-saint of the black market finally appears!
Di Yi frowned, clasped his hands into fists, and bowed: "Greetings to Elder Yuanying."
"Di Yi, you let me down very much. You actually failed against a mere Yin Kong mercenary group." Yuanying Old Demon's voice was a bit harsh.
Although Di Yi is the young master and has a high status, after all, he is only at the Tianji realm. In front of the semi-saint, he can still only be regarded as a junior.
This operation against Yinyue Linkong was originally a black market experience for Di Yi and the Seven Evil Star Envoys. Although the Nascent Soul Demon also walked with them, he could only fight when their lives were in danger.
Only then will he take action.
Di Yi did not explain too much and said: "Elder, please give me another quarter of an hour. I will definitely capture Zhang Ruochen and Yinyue Linkong."
"There's no time! The strong men from the Ministry of War have arrived, it's time for us to leave!"
Nascent Soul Old Demon stared at Zhang Ruochen and Yinyue Linkong coldly, and said: "Today, I count you lucky."
"call!"
He waved his sleeves, and suddenly, an icy hurricane blew from the east, blowing Zhang Ruochen and the soldiers of the Yinkong Mercenary Group away.
"Pfft!"
Some warriors with low martial arts training were torn apart by the hurricane and turned into pieces of bloody bones.
Zhang Ruochen felt the world spin for a while. When he landed on the ground again, all the monks in the black market had disappeared. The ground was full of broken corpses.
There are only seventeen soldiers of the Silver Sky Mercenary Group left alive.
The gorgeous buildings once built by the Yinkong mercenary group were all reduced to ruins. Those mercenary warriors died and were injured, and only seventeen warriors with strong cultivation survived, which can be said to be a heavy loss.
Of course, the Silver Sky Mercenary Group still has many mercenary soldiers performing missions outside. The soldiers lost today are equivalent to almost 30% of the entire mercenary group's combat strength.
"They actually escaped!"
Zhang Ruochen pinched his fingers tightly, feeling a little regretful. If he could kill one or two Star Envoys, it would really hurt the black market.
Cultivating one Star Envoy costs more resources than cultivating a hundred Glazed Knights.
"I just saw the semi-saints appearing in the black market, why did they all suddenly disappear?" Tu Ling held the sword in the shape of a spiritual snake and took a deep breath, his legs still trembling.
Even a master of the "Heavenly Ranking" like her would still tremble and feel extremely fearful in front of a semi-saint.
"It must have been the Half-Saint who was in charge of the 31st City. He noticed the strange movement of the Yinkong Mercenary Group and rushed over. That's why the Yuanying Old Demon had to take the people from the black market and escape immediately." Zhang Ruochen thought in his mind.
guess.
A heavenly eye appeared between Zhang Ruochen's eyebrows, looking at the sky above his head.
He saw two semi-holy auras turning into two pillars of light. While fighting, they rushed out of the 31st city and were quickly moving away.
The thirty-first city is a city where mercenaries gather. Not only are there many masters, but they are also full of conflicts and killings. It is normal for the imperial court to send a semi-saint to guard the city.
I just don’t know if that half-saint can keep the Nascent Soul Demon?
"Boom!"
Not long after, a group of sergeants wearing heavy black armor, riding tall beasts, rushed outside the Yinkong Mercenary Group and surrounded all intersections in the surrounding streets and alleys.
At the same time, a general wearing a red cloak, riding a fourth-level beast-level wild elephant, entered the battlefield of the Yinkong mercenary group and communicated with Yinyue Linkong.
"Master Yin Yue, Lord City Master asked the future to tell you that Nascent Soul Old Demon has escaped with the masters of the black market. I am now leading the city guards to start investigating the hidden lines arranged by the black market around the Yin Kong mercenary group."
Hearing this sentence, Zhang Ruochen sighed.
As expected, Nascent Soul Old Demon and Di Yi escaped again.
With the blessing of the relic, Zhang Ruochen gained great strength in a short period of time. However, when he put the relic away, a feeling of weakness emanated from his bone marrow.
That is a side effect of using relics.
Zhang Ruochen took the dragon ball back into his body and stopped listening to the conversation between Yinyue Linkong and the general. He sat on the ground and began to use his exercises, adjust his breath and recuperate.
As the true energy circulated throughout his body, Zhang Ruochen gradually resolved the feeling of weakness.
When Zhang Ruochen opened his eyes again, the city guards of the 31st City had already withdrawn and captured a large number of black marketers who had placed hidden lines around the Yinkong Mercenary Group.
Di Yi dared to come to the 31st City in person to deal with the Yin Kong mercenary group. Of course, he had already made arrangements for a long time.
Every hidden line is his chess piece.
The city guards pulled out these hidden lines, which also caused the black market to suffer heavy losses. From now on, the black market's control in the 31st City will be greatly reduced.
"Zhang Ruochen, thank you for your help. Without you, the Yinkong Mercenary Group would have been doomed. From now on, if you are in need, you only need to send someone to send a message to the Yinkong Mercenary Group, even if you go up the mountain of knives or into the sea of fire,
Silver Moon Linkong will definitely come to help."
Yinyue Linkong walked to the opposite side of Zhang Ruochen, lowered her proud head, cupped her hands and bowed to Zhang Ruochen.
The wound on her lower abdomen has completely healed, leaving no scars on her snow-white skin.
Of course, although external injuries are no longer visible, internal injuries cannot be healed in a short time.
Even if she had developed a glazed body, it would still take at least three days to return to her peak state. Of course, it was precisely because she had developed a glazed body that she was able to survive such a serious injury.
If it had been another person, I'm afraid he would have died long ago.
Zhang Ruochen said quickly: "Master Yin Yue, don't be polite. Di Yi is not only your enemy, but also my enemy. In the future, we will have many opportunities to cooperate."
This time, although he used the power of the first seal of the relic, he was able to get rid of the Blood Spirit King, and he also met a strong man like Yin Yue Lingkong.
Overall, the gains outweigh the losses.
Di Yi was surrounded by the Seven Evil Star Envoys and the Glazed Knights, and Zhang Ruochen also had a few friends around him, but few could compete with the Seven Evil Star Envoys.
With Yinyue Linkong as his ally, Zhang Ruochen will no longer be so alone when fighting against Di Yi from now on.
Yinyue Lingkong said: "This time, because of you, Di Yi's action failed. He will definitely not give up and will definitely send experts to deal with you. So be it! In the next half month, Nie Honglou will come
Protect you until you officially enter the Holy Court and become a saint."
After half a month, Zhang Ruochen can officially enter the Holy Court to practice. No matter how strong the black market is, he will not dare to go to the Holy Court to kill people.
Nie Honglou is the deputy leader of the Yinkong Mercenary Group, and is a strong man in the sixth transformation of fish and dragon. He can fight two glazed knight captains alone, which shows how strong he is.
With him protecting him, Zhang Ruochen will not be in any danger as long as he does not encounter masters of the level of Zifeng Star Envoy and Silver Moon Linkong.
Zhang Ruochen not only saved Yinyue Linkong, but also saved Nie Honglou. Of course, Nie Honglou was also very grateful to Zhang Ruochen. He had no objections when he heard Yinyue Linkong's arrangement.
After resting for a night, Zhang Ruochen and Nie Honglou recovered from their injuries.
Early the next morning, they walked out of City 31 and returned to District 7.
Just after returning to the Seventh City District, Zhang Ruochen met Lu Youcai, the foreign affairs elder of the Holy Sword Holy Land.
Lu Youcai had a bloated figure, wore gorgeous black gold armor, had a round belly, and squinted his eyes. He had been waiting at the Wushi Posthouse for a long time.
He was sitting on a jade Taishi chair. When he saw Zhang Ruochen walking in, he immediately stood up and said with a smile: "Brother Zhang, I have already figured out what you have entrusted me to do!"
"So fast!" Zhang Ruochen's face showed joy.
Lu Youcai glanced at Nie Honglou next to Zhang Ruochen, showing a strange look, and said: "This must be the mercenary master that Brother Zhang hired in the 31st City, the deputy of the Yinkong Mercenary Group.
Group leader."
"Nie Honglou." Nie Honglou said.
Lu Youcai nodded, no longer looking at Nie Honglou, and returned to the topic, saying: "Yesterday, Brother Zhang asked me to help buy a mansion in the seventh city. Today, someone wants to transfer a mansion where the Half-Saint once lived at a low price.
, only 100 million spiritual crystals. Brother Zhang, do you want to go and have a look? The owner of that semi-saint's former residence is a senior sage, and she also wants to meet you."
