Two hundred and fifty seventh chapter tacit understanding
"stop!"
Following Zhang Ruochen's order, the two men sheathed their swords and stopped at the same time.
The nine figures on the left overlap to form Zhang Ruochen's body.
The nine people on the right overlap and condense into Han Qiu's body.
Han Qiu was immersed in the mystery of the formation when he was suddenly stopped. He was a little confused and said: "Why stop? Wasn't the drill perfect just now?"
"Perfect?"
Zhang Ruochen said: "Can that be called perfect? When we were practicing the sword formation, there was no tacit understanding between us. The sword moves of the eighteen figures were not coherent at all. The sword intentions of the two people could not be communicated together, and there was no formation at all.
The true form of the Yin and Yang sword array, let alone mobilizing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth."
Han Qiu was a little unhappy and said: "There is no tacit understanding. No wonder you blame me? It's you who never regarded me as a friend and were always on guard against me. With your mentality, how can we have a tacit understanding?"
"I'm very curious. I have never done anything sorry to you, and I have even shown my kindness to you many times. Why are you so hostile to me?"
Zhang Ruochen was silent for a moment and said: "If I really regarded you as an enemy, I would not save you."
"What's the reason? Is it... Zhang Tiangui's reason?" Han Qiu said.
Zhang Ruochen did not deny it and said: "Yes, with your intelligence, you should understand that Zhang Tiangui and I are already incompatible, and there will definitely be a battle in the future. You are his junior sister, how can I not guard against you?"
Han Qiu sighed: "When we were in the royal city, I saw that something was wrong with the relationship between you, but I didn't expect that it had reached such a bad level."
"Perhaps Zhang Tiangui did something wrong in some aspects. However, he is still a good person. Not only is he very talented, he is also upright and treats people very well. If you really have conflicts, I can come forward and help you.
Mediate. After all, you are brothers."
Zhang Ruochen smiled and said: "There are some things that I don't want to explain clearly. You will understand it yourself in the future. In the royal family, there is no such thing as a brother. You don't have to worry about the affairs between him and me!"
Han Qiu stared at Zhang Ruochen's eyes, as if he wanted to see through Zhang Ruochen's true thoughts, and thought to himself, "Did Zhang Tiangui do something to feel sorry for Zhang Ruochen, which caused the conflict between the two to reach an irreconcilable level?"
In fact, in Han Qiu's heart, Zhang Tiangui is still a good person. At least there is nothing that makes her dislike him, but there are many things worth learning from her.
After what Zhang Ruochen said, Han Qiu had some doubts and secretly decided in his heart that after returning to Tianmo Wucheng, he must send someone to thoroughly investigate Zhang Tiangui.
You must know that her father, the head of the Yuntai clan, had already intended to betroth her to Zhang Tiangui.
If Zhang Tiangui is really a villain who can plot and murder his own brother, then she will not marry Zhang Tiangui under any circumstances.
Although the time she spent with Zhang Ruochen was short, she felt that Zhang Ruochen would never slander Zhang Tiangui without reason.
Han Qiu said with some confusion: "Since you were on guard against me, why did you pass on the Yin Yang Liang Yi Sword Formation to me?"
"What I passed on to you was only the Nine Swords of Yin Yi. Without the Nine Swords of Yang Yi, you would not be able to set up the Yin and Yang Sword Formation at all."
Zhang Ruochen paused and then said: "Besides, after getting along with you recently, I think you are still a trustworthy person."
"You should have trusted me a long time ago!" Han Qiu raised his eyebrows slightly and added: "If there was more trust between us, we wouldn't be hunted down in such an embarrassing manner."
"Continue practicing your sword! Try to get the Yin-Yang Liangyi Sword Formation in tune as soon as possible. I'm worried that if we continue to wait, the Poisonous Spider Chamber of Commerce and the Sifang County Council will arrive with more masters, and it will be even more disadvantageous for us." Zhang Ruochen said.
"Um!"
The two continued to practice the Yin Yang Liang Yi sword formation, spending almost ten hours every day honing the sword formation.
As they spend more and more time together, their understanding of each other is deepening and they have a better understanding.
Finally, on the sixth day, the sword array drill was successful.
Han Qiu wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, stared at Zhang Ruochen, and said happily: "Finally successful! With our Yin and Yang Liangyi sword formation, even two Huo Jingcheng may not be us, let alone Huo Jingcheng.
The opponent. Now, let’s fight out!”
Zhang Ruochen seemed quite calm and said: "It's really time to go out!"
"Boom!"
The stone door of the underground palace slowly opened.
When Zhang Ruochen and Han Qiu walked out of the underground palace, Huo Jingcheng, who was guarding outside, immediately opened his eyes.
Huo Jingcheng smiled coldly and said, "You are finally willing to come out! I thought you two were going to hide in there for the rest of your life."
Han Qiu held the ancient white jade sword in his hands, stretched out, outlined the perfect curve, and said with a smile: "How can we come out of it if we are not absolutely sure?"
"Oh! Have you already broken through to the Tianji realm?"
Huo Jingcheng immediately became cautious. If Han Qiu really reached the Tianji realm, then he would be the one who should run away.
Han Qiu smiled and said: "There is no need to reach the Heavenly Realm. Our cultivation at the Earthly Realm is enough to kill you."
"Ha ha!"
Huo Jingcheng laughed loudly and said: "Do you think that after the injury is healed, the two of them will be my opponent if they join forces?"
"That's right." Han Qiu said firmly.
Zhang Ruochen said: "Set up the formation!"
"Whoosh!"
Zhang Ruochen and Han Qiu rushed out at the same time and stood in two directions from Huo Jingcheng. They raised their swords and pointed at Huo Jingcheng who was standing in the center.
"Based on your cultivation, even if you set up a formation, you are no match for me. Raging Wind Beast Shadow!"
Huo Jingcheng raised his hands to the sky, and the true energy in his body rushed out, activating the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, forming a huge storm vortex.
There was a whistling sound in the air.
Under the control of Huo Jingcheng's true energy, the storm vortex formed a huge beast shadow, with a body more than ten meters long, forming a translucent shape, and rushed towards Zhang Ruochen with teeth and claws.
"Swish!"
Zhang Ruochen and Han Qiu started moving almost at the same time. Originally there were only two figures, but after an instant, they turned into eighteen figures.
Above the eighteen figures, a bright sword energy circle formed, like a Tai Chi Bagua mark, constantly rotating.
"Wow!"
Zhang Ruochen struck out with his sword, using wide open and close moves to directly split the beast shadow formed by the gathered wind blades into two halves.
"What?"
Huo Jingcheng was shocked. Why did that boy's power suddenly become so powerful?
He was about to continue attacking Zhang Ruochen when suddenly, a sharp sword sound sounded from behind him.
"Look at the sword!"
Han Qiu's figure was slim and graceful, like a flying fairy wielding a sword. He used one of the Nine Swords of Yin Yi, "Watching the Moon in the Cloud", and stabbed Huo Jingcheng's vest straight.
"Chi!"
On the body of the white jade ancient sword, there were lines of light inscriptions flowing, and a nine-foot-long sword light shot out and pierced Huo Jingcheng's robe, leaving a sword wound that was neither shallow nor deep.
Huo Jingcheng felt the pain coming from his back, and immediately rushed forward and roared: "I don't believe that I can't break your sword formation."
Huo Jingcheng turned around suddenly and hit Han Qiu with a palm.
Just when his palm was about to hit Han Qiu, Zhang Ruochen attacked from behind again.
Huo Jingcheng felt the breath of flames coming from behind him, so he could only retract his palms, wave his arms, and shoot out a wind blade, striking behind him.
Just when Huo Jingcheng thought he had forced Zhang Ruochen back, a sword shadow struck the top of his head from the upper left position, cutting off a strand of his hair.
Huo Jingcheng's expression changed drastically, and he finally realized the power of the Yin Yang Liang Yi Sword Formation.
In his opinion, he was not fighting two people at all, but eighteen people.
Any figure's sword move may turn into a real move at any time, catching him off guard.
Han Qiu laughed like a silver bell and kept changing his position in the sword array, saying: "Uncle Huo, our sword array is okay! Why don't you give us some pointers?"
"Isn't it just a sword formation? In the face of absolute strength, the formation is just a trick played by children." Huo Jingcheng said coldly.
"If that's the case, then we won't play with you anymore!"
Han Qiu stared at Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen nodded to her.
The two of them exerted their swordsmanship with all their strength, operating the Yin Yang Liang Yi sword formation to the extreme.
“Catching a shadow in the wind!”
"Take chestnuts from the fire!"
The area covered by the Yin-Yang Liangyi Sword Formation became smaller and smaller. At first it was ten feet in diameter, then nine feet, eight feet...
As the range of the sword formation becomes smaller, the sword attacks become more and more intensive.
In the end, the diameter of the sword array became only one foot.
Huo Jingcheng was trapped in the sword formation, like a trapped beast. He could only keep taking action to resist the incoming sword attacks. Although his cultivation was advanced, he suffered more and more sword wounds.
"puff!"
Zhang Ruochen slashed his sword horizontally and hit Huo Jingcheng's neck, finally breaking Huo Jingcheng's protective Tiangang and cutting off Huo Jingcheng's head.
"Bang!"
After the head was chopped off, Huo Jingcheng's body could no longer control the wind and fell limply to the ground.
"it is finally over!"
Han Qiu took back the ancient white jade sword and said with some regret: "Actually, our cooperation is still not tacit enough. If we can be more tacit, it will be easier to kill Huo Jingcheng."
Zhang Ruochen looked at the corpse on the ground without any joy and said: "Let's go! Let's get out of here as soon as possible."
"Um!"
Han Qiu nodded.
Not long after Zhang Ruochen and Han Qiu left, an old man wearing a purple gold crown, riding a three-legged fire crow, flew into Baiwu Ancient City and stopped above the underground palace.
The old man jumped off the back of the three-legged fire crow, walked to Huo Jingcheng's body, with a bright light in his eyes, and said to himself: "They are actually able to kill Princess Zhenling and Huo Jingcheng. These two juniors are really awesome."
Not to be underestimated.”
He sniffed it gently with his nose and said: "The smell of blood is still very fresh. He must have been dead for less than three hours."
The old man took a look at the ground and quickly found the traces left by Zhang Ruochen and Han Qiu when they left.
He jumped on the back of the three-legged fire crow again, controlled the three-legged fire crow, and chased after Zhang Ruochen and Han Qiu in the direction they left.
(Happy Singles’ Day to everyone! I originally planned to add another chapter, but found out that it was almost 12 o’clock, so I had to prepare for the rush! Therefore, Xiaoyu decided to add another chapter at noon tomorrow. In other words, two chapters will be updated at noon tomorrow.)
