Zhang Ruochen looked over and saw that the man who just spoke looked to be in his thirties, with a sallow complexion. He had two beards on his lips, trimmed very neatly, and he still looked quite handsome.
He and Zhang Ruochen were only three tables apart.
Others couldn't see through his cultivation, but Zhang Ruochen could see through his strength at a glance.
His cultivation level has reached the stage of the first transformation of fish and dragon into "innate fetal breath". His breathing is steady, his blood flow is slow, and the pores all over his body seem to be completely open, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
This person has transcended the martial arts and stepped onto the holy path.
How could such a person spread rumors and cause trouble for no reason?
Isn't he afraid of offending Zhang Ruochen and Orange Moon Star Envoy at the same time?
At this moment, the middle-aged man who had reached the first stage of transformation from fish to dragon was still sitting on the chair, drinking and talking, completely unaware that Zhang Ruochen was sitting not far from him.
"It is said that the master of the Orange Moon Star Envoy is the Ghost Saint of the Nine Death Cave. Zhang Ruochen actually dares to abuse the disciple of the Ghost Saint like this, and is not afraid that the Ghost Saint will take action to transform him into a ghost boy?" said an old man.
The middle-aged man smiled: "No matter how powerful Zhang Ruochen is, he is only a young man in his early twenties. How could the Ghost Saint lower himself to deal with him?"
Another warrior said: "Even if the Ghost Saint doesn't take action, the three disciples of the Ghost Saint will definitely not be able to bear this tone. It would be strange if they don't tear Zhang Ruochen into pieces."
"It makes sense. After all, Orange Moon Star Envoy is their junior sister. It is said that Ghost Saint's third disciple, Yin Wuchang, has been pursuing Orange Moon Star Envoy. If he hears this news, he will probably go crazy."
"If he is crazy, Zhang Ruochen will be in trouble! Even if Zhang Ruochen reaches the top of the "Heaven Ranking", he can only be regarded as a mortal martial artist. How can he be compared to the third disciple of the Ghost Saint? It is said that the third disciple of the Ghost Saint,
He has already entered the fish-dragon realm, his cultivation is unfathomable, and he is a master who has been famous for a long time in the evil way."
…
After half an hour, the middle-aged man seemed to feel that he had said enough, so he got up and left, walking out of the tavern.
Zhang Ruochen immediately paid the bill and followed him.
Zhang Ruochen wanted to know who this person was? Why did he deliberately spread rumors in the tavern?
After all, the middle-aged man is a master of the fish and dragon realm, and Zhang Ruochen did not deliberately hide his aura.
Therefore, the middle-aged man soon realized that someone was following him. So, when he reached a relatively secluded place, he stopped and stood there without turning around. He secretly mobilized his energy and said in a cold voice.
: "Who are they, who haven't come out yet?"
"Da da."
Zhang Ruochen walked to the center of the street with steady steps, stood ten feet behind the middle-aged man, and said, "You were in the pub just now, and you mentioned my name all the time. What? You didn't think of me?"
"
The middle-aged man's face changed slightly, and he immediately turned around, looked at the young warrior standing not far away, and said with some surprise: "Are you Zhang Ruochen?"
Zhang Ruochen said calmly: "Tell me! Who are you? And who asked you to spread these rumors?"
The middle-aged man did not intend to answer Zhang Ruochen. He spread his legs slightly, and every muscle in his body was tensed. Inside his sleeves, he pinched ten fingers tightly and turned into two fists, making a fighting posture.
Although he has broken through the martial arts barrier and entered the fish-dragon realm, he still doesn't have much confidence in himself because the enemy he has to face is Zhang Ruochen, who is number one in the "Tian Ranking".
He is like a huge bull, while Zhang Ruochen is a fierce and powerful wolf king.
Although on the surface, Man Niu appears to be taller, stronger, and more powerful than Wolf King, Man Niu is quite clear that he is no match for Wolf King.
At this moment, the middle-aged man was like that wild bull. He was very frightened, but he had to fight desperately.
"Lands and landslides."
The middle-aged man roared, raised his arms, and powerful energy flowed between his hands.
Then, he punched the ground suddenly.
A powerful force rushed into the ground, making a "squeaking" sound, and all the stone slabs on the street flew up.
Each of those stone slabs is two meters thick and weighs tens of thousands of kilograms.
Dozens of stone slabs rolled up. Under the stimulation of the fist, the stone slabs rubbed violently with the air, forming red fireworks, like pieces of flaming meteorites, flying towards Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen stood there calmly, looking at the flying flaming stone slabs, appearing calm and unhurried. He just stretched out a palm, pressed it towards the void, and fired a palm force.
The powerful palm force turned into an undercurrent of hurricane and surged out.
"Bang!"
All the stone slabs flew back at a faster speed and attacked the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man's expression changed, and he immediately used his body skills to rush back, preparing to escape from this place.
"Boom!"
Those stone slabs fell to the ground, creating large craters, and the entire street instantly became fragmented.
"Zhang Ruochen is so scary. He is so powerful before he reaches the fish-dragon realm. How can he wait until he reaches the fish-dragon realm?"
Cold sweat broke out on the middle-aged man's forehead, and he ran forward desperately, just wanting to get as far away from Zhang Ruochen as possible.
"Where are you going?"
At some point, Zhang Ruochen appeared in front of him and blocked his way.
The middle-aged man immediately stopped, gritted his teeth, and showed a cold look in his eyes, preparing to take action again.
"Zhang Ruochen, I will fight with you!"
"Wow!"
A bright sword light flashed in front of the middle-aged man's eyes, and the next moment, a cold sword was pressed against his neck.
The middle-aged man felt the coolness coming from his neck, and his whole body trembled. The move he originally planned to attack stopped in mid-air. His body seemed to be petrified, and he did not dare to move.
"What a fast swordsmanship!"
The middle-aged man's eyes finally showed a look of fear.
Zhang Ruochen held the hilt of the sword with one hand, focused his mental power on his eyes, stared at the middle-aged man, and said: "Tell me! Who are you? Don't beat around the bush with me, otherwise, I will kill your head immediately
Fly out."
The middle-aged man was shocked by Zhang Ruochen's mental power. He became sluggish and lost his energy. He said in a dull voice: "Xu...Xu Longyi."
Zhang Ruochen said: "A member of the Xu Sheng clan?"
"I am just a side descendant of Xu Sheng's family, not a direct bloodline child. I just obey orders. In fact, we have no grievances. Please spare my life." Xu Longyi said cautiously.
He was afraid that if he said a wrong word, Zhang Ruochen would be angered.
Zhang Ruochen said: "You don't have to be so afraid. As long as you tell the truth, I can let you live. Tell me, who asked you to do this? What is the purpose of doing this?"
Xu Longyi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's Xu Hai. He also came to Chaos Mountain. He came here to kill you on the order of his ancestors."
Zhang Ruochen and the Xu Sheng clan have always had a grudge, almost to the point of being incompatible with each other.
When the news that Zhang Ruochen became the number one on the "Tianbang" spread back to the Eastern Region, the entire Xu Sheng clan was shocked by it.
As a saint sect with a long heritage, Xusheng sect knows the weight of a supreme genius better than anyone else.
Perhaps, Zhang Ruochen cannot threaten them now, but what will the situation be like fifty years from now, or a hundred years from now?
As long as Zhang Ruochen reaches the holy realm, it will be a disaster for Xu Sheng's family.
Therefore, no matter what, the Xu Sheng clan must get rid of Zhang Ruochen before he grows up.
The Three Swordsman and Half Saint of the Xu Sheng Clan personally ordered Xu Hai to lead four strong men from the Fish and Dragon Realm to the Chaos Wanjie Mountain to kill Zhang Ruochen on the battlefield of the Ruins Realm.
Xu Longyi is one of the four strong fish-dragon realm men sent by the Xu Sheng Clan. Of course, he is also the weakest among the four.
Xu Longyi continued: "The reason why Xu Hai asked me to spread rumors is actually to anger the evil warriors in the black market and get rid of you with the help of those evil warriors."
"Xu Hai is also a character, and he can actually think of a way to kill someone with a borrowed knife." Zhang Ruochen said with a smile.
Last time, in the Five Elements Ruins Realm, Zhang Ruochen killed Xu Qing, the descendant of the Xu Sheng clan.
Unexpectedly, the Xu Sheng clan did not learn the lesson and actually sent a second successor to deal with Zhang Ruochen.
Xu Hai is the descendant of the previous generation of the Xu Sheng Clan. He entered the Holy Academy ten years ago and is far superior to Xu Qing in terms of talent and cultivation.
Rather than being plotted against, it is better to take the initiative.
In a moment, Zhang Ruochen had a plan in mind and asked: "Where is Xu Hai?"
Xu Longyi hesitated for a moment, but under the pressure of Zhang Ruochen's mental power, he finally said: "Xu Hai should be meeting with the green-robed star envoy of the first-class hall in the black market, and they plan to join forces to deal with you. Moreover, I heard that Ghost Saint
The third disciple, Yin Wuchang, has come to Chaos Mountain and has promised to transform you into an undead ghost boy."
Zhang Ruochen smiled and said: "Xu Hai spread rumors and intensified the conflict between me and the black market. At the same time, he formed an alliance with the black market and prepared to join forces to deal with me. The descendants of Xu Sheng's clan should not be underestimated."
Xu Longyi asked: "I have told you everything I need to say, can you let me go now?"
Zhang Ruochen withdrew his mental power, turned his arm, and took back Shen Yuan's ancient sword, and said calmly: "Let's go!"
"Just let me go like this?"
Although Zhang Ruochen put away his mental power, Xu Longyi did not relax at all, but became even more nervous. Some people did not believe that Zhang Ruochen would be so kind and let him go so readily.
is it possible?
He was very suspicious that the moment he turned around, Zhang Ruochen would chop off his head with a sword unexpectedly.
Zhang Ruochen said: "Of course I want to let you go. After you go back, inform Xu Hai and the evil warriors in the black market that I am going to the Xuanwu Ruins world now. If they want to kill me, they want to save Cheng
