"Yes, it is really easy for me to kill Zhang Ruochen. Similarly, it is even easier for me to kill you." Hua Qingye said.
Seeing Hua Qingye's cold eyes, Zhang Tiangui felt an inexplicable chill, and cold sweat broke out on his vest. He stopped, not daring to go any further, and said: "Senior Hua...why do you say that?
"
Hua Qingye opened his lips, revealing some yellow teeth, and said with a smile: "Zhang Ruochen made a deal with me. As long as I can kill you, he will tell me his secrets. Do you think I should
Shouldn’t you trust him? Jie Jie!”
Zhang Tiangui froze, as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and said hurriedly: "Senior Hua, Zhang Ruochen is full of tricks, you must not believe his words. Senior, it is best to kill him now, and then, with his head,
Go and ask for credit from the young master, and the young master will definitely reward you heavily."
Hua Qingye frowned, showing a thoughtful expression.
Zhang Ruochen didn't give Hua Qingye time to think, and said: "It's a pity that Di Yi has been seriously injured and escaped from Tianmo Ridge. Even if he can survive, with his identity, he will never come to such a remote place as Tianmo Ridge again in the future."
It’s a small place. Hua Qingye, you’d better think carefully before making a decision. Of course, you can also continue to wait. In five days at most, the news about Tongming River will reach the royal city of Yunwu County. By then, you
It’s not too late to decide who to kill.”
Zhang Tiangui hurriedly said: "We can't wait. Zhang Ruochen is the disciple of Lei Jing, the master of the Yinpao Elder Pavilion. Since Zhang Ruochen appears in the royal city, Lei Jing will definitely come soon."
Hearing Lei Jing's name, Hua Qingye's expression changed slightly.
Although he and Lei Jing were both at the Fish-Dragon Realm, he had only just changed into the first one, while Lei Jing had already reached the first Fish-Dragon Realm fifty years ago. As for his current state, it was even more...
The horror was far beyond what Hua Qingye could compare to.
What's more, he now has a broken arm and his strength is greatly reduced. How can he defeat Lei Jing, who is full of righteousness and blood?
Zhang Ruochen saw that Hua Qingye seemed to be persuaded by Zhang Tiangui, so he added fuel to the fire and said: "To show my sincerity, I can tell you in advance the source of the secrets about me."
"What source?"
Hua Qingye's heart moved and he asked quickly.
Zhang Ruochen said: "I was able to cultivate to the early stage of Tianji Realm in just three years, and also reached the realm of Sword Heart Transparency, of course because I had a huge adventure."
Hearing this, not to mention Hua Qingye, even Zhang Tiangui was attracted by Zhang Ruochen's words and wanted to know what happened next.
Zhang Ruochen continued unhurriedly: "Three years ago, by chance, I encountered an ancient cave from the medieval period in Tianmo Ridge, and got the treasure of a holy monk in it. I was still very weak at the time, and
Without going deep into the ancient cave, I took a white alien fruit and left in a hurry. After that, I don’t know what happened, but my martial arts cultivation began to improve by leaps and bounds. Even my physique seemed to have been refined by that alien fruit.
It’s so easy to cultivate to the point where the sword’s heart becomes clear.”
Before Zhang Ruochen could finish speaking, Hua Qingye's eyes flashed with blazing light, and he quickly said: "Could it be that what you swallowed is the legendary Buddhist holy fruit, the Bodhi Fruit."
"I don't know, but the shape of that fruit is like a holy Buddha sitting cross-legged and chanting sutras," Zhang Ruochen said.
Zhang Ruochen certainly knows what the Bodhi Fruit is and even more so the efficacy of the Bodhi Fruit.
He deliberately fabricated this lie just to lead Hua Qingye's thoughts to the Bodhi Fruit.
If he took the initiative to say that what he took was Bodhi Fruit, Hua Qingye would definitely not believe it. But if Hua Qingye guessed it by himself, he would definitely believe it.
Not to mention Hua Qingye, even Zhang Tiangui who was standing aside believed Zhang Ruochen's words.
Because Zhang Tiangui knows Zhang Ruochen best. Three years ago, Zhang Ruochen was just a sick man. Without great adventures, how could he have achieved what he has now?
"It's really hateful. If I could have encountered that ancient cave and swallowed the Bodhi Fruit, I would probably have reached the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Realm by now. Why is Zhang Ruochen so lucky?"
Zhang Tiangui stared at Zhang Ruochen with jealous eyes.
However, he was seriously injured. As soon as he became angry, he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen and started coughing.
Hua Qingye was almost certain that what Zhang Ruochen drank was the Bodhi Fruit. His whole body was shaking with excitement, and every nerve was beating. He rushed to Zhang Ruochen and said, "Where is that ancient cave? Take me there quickly?
"
Zhang Ruochen smiled, looked at Zhang Tiangui, and said, "It seems that you haven't fulfilled the conditions you promised me."
Hua Qingye's eyes narrowed and he stared at Zhang Tiangui.
Zhang Tiangui felt anxious and said: "Senior Hua, please don't listen to Zhang Ruochen's one-sided words. He is trying to provoke us."
Hua Qingye hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to wait a few more days until the news about Tongming River came, and then it would not be too late to kill Zhang Tiangui.
Of course, he was also afraid that Lei Jing would come to the Royal City. So, Hua Qingye left the Royal City with Zhang Ruochen and Zhang Tiangui, went to a secret stronghold of the black market outside the Royal City, settled down, and waited for news.
It was only five days, but Hua Qingye could still afford to wait.
This stronghold is only thirty miles away from the royal city. As long as there is any trouble in the royal city, Hua Qingye can find out the news immediately.
Hua Qingye sealed the meridians of Zhang Ruochen and Zhang Tiangui and locked them in a secret room.
That secret room was a cell carefully built by the black market. As long as the stone door was closed and the formation was activated, Zhang Ruochen's cultivation level would not be sealed. Even if it was not sealed, he might not be able to escape.
After the stone gate was closed, Hua Qingye left.
"Ahem..."
Zhang Tiangui was originally seriously injured. After the meridians were sealed, the true energy could not flow in the body.
Without the protection of his true energy, he was just like an ordinary person, lying on the ground with a pale face, unable to move, and could only slowly wait for the injury to recover on its own.
When he was at his most high-spirited, he never imagined that he would be in such a miserable state.
Zhang Ruochen stared at Zhang Tiangui with cold eyes, but was not in a hurry to kill him. Instead, he sat cross-legged on the ground and began to practice.
Hua Qingye was obviously very cautious. He not only used his true energy to seal Zhang Ruochen's meridians, but also used a magic-breaking needle to insert between Zhang Ruochen's eyebrows to seal Zhang Ruochen's sea of energy.
Under the double seal, even warriors in the Fish and Dragon Realm can only sit in the secret room and wait to die.
Unfortunately, Hua Qingye did not expect that there was a strange vein in Zhang Ruochen's body, the Blood Spirit Vein. He also did not expect that there was a dragon ball in Zhang Ruochen's heart.
Zhang Ruochen took advantage of the blood spirit veins, absorbed the energy of the holy dragon, and quickly opened the sealed meridians.
"A magic-breaking array is like a sea of Qi that seals me. Hua Qingye underestimates me!"
Zhang Ruochen put his hands together, mobilized the power of the holy dragon in the dragon ball, gathered it towards the sea of qi, and soon forced out a section of the demon-breaking needle.
The seal of Qi Hai was a little looser.
As Zhang Ruochen continued to exert force, an almost transparent silver needle slowly emerged from the position between his eyebrows and fell to the ground.
Because the silver needle is extremely thin and weighs ten times less than a head, it makes no sound even if it falls on the ground.
After the seal was completely released, the true energy in the sea of qi immediately surged into the thirty-six meridians throughout Zhang Ruochen's body like a tide.
With his cultivation restored, Zhang Ruochen's whole body was full of strength.
"We must break through to the middle stage of the Tianji Realm within five days. As long as the realm is broken through, I can make the power of the martial arts stronger. By then, even if I still can't defeat Hua Qingye, I will at least have a chance to fight.
force."
Zhang Ruochen closed his eyes tightly, used his blood spirit veins, and began to absorb the power of the holy dragon from the dragon beads.
"Wow——"
A layer of faint golden Qi emerged on the surface of his body. Every ray of Qi was like a swimming horned dragon, containing powerful energy.
After half a day of practice, Zhang Ruochen condensed thirteen drops of true essence. Adding the original true essence in the Qi Sea, he now has thirty-two drops of true essence.
As long as you cultivate a hundred drops of true essence, you can reach the middle stage of Tianji Realm.
Originally, it was a very slow process for a warrior to condense his true energy. For Zhang Ruochen, it was as easy as drinking boiled water.
Because, he has the Dragon Ball.
You must know that at the beginning, Si Xingkong, Chang Qiqi and others just merged a drop of dragon blood and directly broke through from the early stage of Tianji Realm to the middle stage of Tianji Realm.
What Zhang Ruochen got was a dragon ball, which was countless times more powerful than a drop of dragon blood.
As long as Zhang Ruochen actively absorbs the holy dragon's energy in the dragon beads, he can easily condense the true essence.
"Senior Jinlong's Dragon Ball is indeed a good thing. The improvement in cultivation is faster than I imagined."
If he can continue to improve his cultivation at this speed, Zhang Ruochen is confident that he will be able to break through to the middle stage of Tianji Realm within three days.
Zhang Tiangui was lying on the ground and was shocked when he saw the golden light emanating from Zhang Ruochen's body.
He knew that Zhang Ruochen had broken through the seal.
"you you……"
Zhang Tiangui seemed to want to say something, but he was too injured to say a complete sentence.
Previously, there was still Qi protecting the internal organs, so Zhang Tiangui could barely walk. After the Qi was sealed, Zhang Tiangui's injuries became more and more serious, and his face turned as white as a dead man.
Zhang Ruochen glanced at Zhang Tiangui, with murderous intent in his eyes again, so he stopped practicing and stood up.
"Wow!"
He rotated the palm of his right hand, used a ray of true energy to suck up the magic-breaking needle on the ground, held it between his two fingers, and walked towards Zhang Tiangui.
Seeing Zhang Ruochen approaching, Zhang Tiangui's pupils continued to dilate, his whole body twitched, and the look on his face became more and more frightened.
Walking in front of him, Zhang Ruochen knelt down, looked at him closely, and said, "Zhang Tiangui, if you kill someone, should you pay with your life?"
Zhang Tiangui shook his head vigorously and said intermittently: "The ninth... ninth brother, father... king... was not killed by me... I was also forced, it was Hua Qingye, it was Hua Qingye and Di Yi who forced me to do this
