Hearing Huang Yanchen's words, Zhang Ruochen froze momentarily . Had…the previous battle revealed something that made her start suspecting things?
Zhang Ruochen didn't dare to continue looking at Huang Yanchen's eyes . He turned immediately and gazed toward the scroll world as if he was indifferent .
Inside the scroll world, Bu Qianfan and Captain Rat's battle was very intense . They couldn't separate from each other .
"How come Bu Qianfan's cultivation speed is so fast? He's already at the Ninth Change of the Fish-Dragon Realm?"
This surprised Zhang Ruochen . He hadn't expected that Bu Qianfan would cultivate faster than him .
Zhang Ruochen had focused most of his time on the Tao of Sword after coming to the Yin and Yang Sect, but he had the Qiankun Divine Map . Typical Monks couldn't compare with his cultivation speed .
Mu Lingxi's cultivation had surpassed him because she'd always been above him . She also had the Saint Source and had refined a drop of saintly blood . Even so, she was only in the Eighth Change . She was a level lower than Bu Qianfan .
Other than Bu Qianfan, it also surprised Zhang Ruochen that Huang Yanchen could reach the Seventh Change . He wondered how many hardships she'd gone through to accomplish this .
Boom!
Bu Qianfan's aura was sharp . He grew more powerful as he fought . Soul apparitions flew from his every punch, making it seem like an army was fighting with him . The words in the scroll world were all pulverized .
It was no wonder that Captain Rat was an ancient thing either . He'd released his Laksana, which was as large as a mountain . Strands of demonic Qi flowed through it, clashing with Bu Qianfan's fists .
They were equally powerful . It would be difficult to find a winner in a short time .
Finally, Zhang Ruochen's eyes fell on Le in the near distance . A faint smile appeared on his face .
If Zhang Ruochen was only surprised that Bu Qianfan could reach the Ninth Change, then he was astonished that Le could reach the Ninth Change and stand before him .
Who would've thought that the practically-disabled youth from before would reach such great heights?
Zhang Ruochen really wanted to drink with him and hear about what he'd gone through . They could chat about swords and blood .
Earlier, Le had helped Huang Yanchen . This showed that the cold-blooded swordsman wasn't so emotionless . His current cultivation didn't make him forget how Zhang Ruochen had helped him before .
Back then, Le had entered Hades Department and became the most successful killer . Later, Hades Department had offended a young lord of the Black Market Excellence Hall . He'd been forced to turn to Duan Muya, the leader of the Sky Demon Mountain's Demonic Sect and Mu Lingxi's aunt .
If Zhang Ruochen guessed correctly, either Duan Muya or Mu Lingxi had recommended Le for the main sect of the Demonic Sect .
Le's sword was known to "steal lives . " Even Ouyang Huan wouldn't be fully confident in blocking his most powerful strike . And if one couldn't block it, only death was an option .
Ouyang Huan had never fought with Le . Even if he was 99% sure, he still wouldn't risk it .
Because he would be gambling with his life .
"If you wish to reach the peak, you must pass through me," Le said emotionlessly .
"Okay!" Zhang Ruochen said .
"But your sword is already broken," Le said .
Zhang Ruochen didn't mind . "My sword has never been broken . The most important thing is that you need to have the ability to force me to use my sword . "
Le's expression didn't change . He was still as cold as ever . However, a sharp aura flared from his body .
A smile still remained on Zhang Ruochen's face, though a powerful aura also gathered about him . It kept rising, battling Le's aura .
Mu Lingxi knew that Zhang Ruochen was heavily injured . She also knew how terrifying Le's sword was, so she was worried .
Wanting to prevent this battle, she quickly turned towards Le, saying, "Le—"
Zhang Ruochen and Le were very close together . One could behead the other as soon as he struck out with his sword . Thus, both were in their most sensitive states .
Mu Lingxi's voice shattered the balance between them instantly .
Whoosh!
In an instant, Le flicked his wrist . He stabbed his sword so quickly that the sword had no shadow . The next moment, when the shadow appeared, the blade had already gone through Zhang Ruochen's heart .
But then Zhang Ruochen's body faded, transforming into white smoke .
In reality, when Le had moved his sword, Zhang Ruochen had already teleported away with extreme speed . Le's sword had only pierced his shadow .
Le flicked his wrist and backhandedly stabbed behind him, piercing Zhang Ruochen's heart again . This seemingly-average move was actually filled with mystery .
Only a Half-Saint could see clearly that Le's sword had produced ten shadows that had formed a string and then overlapped . He was just too fast and regular people couldn't catch this at all .
However, Le had missed again . He didn't touch Zhang Ruochen's body .
"He could dodge two of Le's strikes in a row . How can Lin Yue be so fast?" Snake Two's eyes widened in shock .
She knew that those who could dodge Le's sword were all very powerful figures .
Ouyang Huan's eyes were trained on Zhang Ruochen . "He's not just fast," he said . "More importantly, his judgement is shocking . He can always predict where Le will strike from and move beforehand . "
"Prophecy?" Snake Two asked . "But Lin Yue didn't have this ability the last time we fought . "
Ouyang Huan shook his head . "It's not Prophecy . It's just that Lin Yue has rich battle experience, sight, and judgement, allowing him to accomplish this . It's impossible without hundreds of years of experience, readings, and Tao of Sword knowledge . What kind of secret is Lin Yue keeping?"
Ouyang Huan obviously wouldn't know that Zhang Ruochen had absorbed the knowledge and memory of a Half-Saint . Otherwise, he wouldn't have such precise judgement .
"Does this mean Le can't beat Lin Yue?" Snake Two asked . "Should I go and help him?"
Ouyang Huan smiled thinly . "Lin Yue seems calm and hasn't revealed any flaws, but Le has his ways to force Lin Yue to show a weakness . Don't be impatient and wait . I'd like to see what other trump cards Lin Yue has . "
"Your sword hasn't even touched the corner of my shirt," Zhang Ruochen said .
Le stopped abruptly . He looked at Zhang Ruochen from the corner of his eye and then placed his sword horizontally . Closing his eyes, he started operating the Nine-Turn Life and Death Chant .
Life-Death Qi arose from his body instantly; there was the white Life Qi and black Death Qi . The two energies entangled with each other and rushed into the sword . The blade shook violently .
"Nothing Between Life and Death . "
A territory of deadly Sword Qi unfurled itself . Thousands of Sword Qi flew out of the territory, stabbing endlessly towards Zhang Ruochen .
Zhang Ruochen retreated, shock filling his eyes . He's actually cultivated Life-Death Qi, he thought . Doesn't this mean that he's cultivated the Nine-Turn Life and Death Chant to the fifth turn?
The Nine-Turn Life and Death Chant that Le cultivated had been given to him by Zhang Ruochen . Naturally, Zhang Ruochen was clear about this technique's characteristics .
Since he'd completed the fourth turn, Le hadn't only gone through five lives and deaths . He might have gone through more than 50 .
Whoosh, whoosh .
Sword Qi seemed to be a huge flood . It carried the strong Death Qi and flooded in all directions, wrapping around Zhang Ruochen . No matter how fast he was, he couldn't dodge the Sword Qi .
At the same time, Le transformed into a beam of light . His sword stabbed forward, aiming at Zhang Ruochen's heart for the third time .
Seeing this, both Mu Lingxi and Huang Yanchen clenched their fists, their hearts skipping a beat . They were both ready to rush up and stop Le .
Only Zhang Ruochen was still calm . "You are indeed strong," he said . "You deserve my sword . "
Then he took his Void Sword . Gripping it, he cut downward . A powerful arc of Sword Qi flew out, shattering all the Sword Qis .
With a boom, the deadly Sword Qi territory shattered too .
Le's eyes were filled with shock . He immediately parried with his sword . Colliding with that powerful Sword Qi, he flew backwards, not stopping until he fell down the mountain .
Dressed in the Shooting Star Invisibility Cloak and holding his Void Sword, Zhang Ruochen hovered above the steep steps . He looked down at Le . "Evidently, you can't stop me . "Please download our sponsor's game to support us!
