Chapter 55: The Cold and Warmth of Human Relationships

  Everyone held their breath and stared intently in the direction of the battlefield.

  On the battlefield, two residual shadows collided silently, and in just an instant, they crossed each other.

  They immediately separated again at an even faster speed.

  Zhang Ruochen stood where A Le had just been standing, and A Le stood where Zhang Ruochen had just been standing. The two of them were silent and still.

  "How can it be still? Has the outcome already been decided?"

  "With incredible speed" Shui Wenxin stood under the battlefield, staring at Zhang Ruochen and A Le.

  With his cultivation, he could barely see the sword marks left by Zhang Ruochen and Ah Yue. However, if he wanted to catch any of their swords, he only had a 40% chance.

  Another sixty percent is death.

  "Who won in the end?" Lin Xiangsan stood up from her seat, a pair of beautiful eyes staring at the battlefield, revealing a hint of expectation.

  Ale, who had been standing upright, glanced at his chest and felt a surge of pain. Blood then gushed out from his chest, dyeing nearly half of his clothes red.

  "Boom"

  He fell to the ground in great frustration, one hand tightly grasping his sword and the other covering his chest, his eyes still fixed on Lin Xiansan below the battlefield.

  In the end, I still lost and failed to fulfill my promise to her.

  A shallow cut appeared on Zhang Ruochens neck, just scratching the skin.

  "Why dont you kill me?" Ah Le lay on the ground, staring at Zhang Ruochen.

  In fact, Zhang Ruochen could have been completely unscathed. In that case, he would have had to kill A Le with a single sword strike.

  But he didnt do that, after drawing his sword, he forcibly changed moves again, causing the sword to deviate a few more points, which is why it was scratched by A Les sword and broke the skin on his neck.

  Zhang Ruochen stared at him and said, "I never kill people."

  Actually, Zhang Ruochen still had the second half of the sentence unspoken, "Unless its someone who deserves to be killed."

  "I owe you a life, and I will definitely return it to you." Ah Le gritted his teeth, like a stubborn lone wolf, and climbed down from the battlefield alone, leaving behind a trail of blood on the battlefield.

  Zhang Ruochen slightly furrowed his brow and glanced in the direction of Lin Chenyu and Lin Xianxiang.

  The Lin familys heart is indeed ruthless and cold, not even sending a single servant to take the seriously injured Ah Le away, but instead, watching him crawl down from the battlefield by himself.

  Of course, he didnt bother to intervene either, after all everyone has their own path in life.

  Next is the tenth martial arts competition.

  In the Yellow Rank Martial Palace, only two Yellow Rank warriors had yet to make a move, namely the fifth-ranked Ci Kongdi and the twenty-first ranked Yun Tian.

  The one who made the move was naturally the stronger Sī Kōng Dì.

  Sī Kōng Dì was also a top-notch strongman, with combat power comparable to that of a Wǔ Zhě in the early stages of the Xuán Jí Jìng. Unfortunately, even Shuǐ Wèn Xīn and ā Lè were defeated by Zhang Ruò Chéns hands, so he naturally couldnt hold up either.

  As expected, Zhang Ruochen easily defeated Si Kongdi and became the first person in Yunwu County to win ten consecutive matches on the Yellow List, a Yellow Extreme Martial Artist.

  Zhang Ruochen not only obtained a new Yellow Chart Iron Command, but also received a huge reward of one million silver coins.

  The new Huangbang Iron Command, with the words "Yunwu County State, Huangbang First, Zhang Ruochen" printed on it, is also a kind of honor for Zhang Ruochen.

  As for the huge reward of one million silver coins, it was exchanged for a thousand spirit crystals. After all, one million silver coins were too heavy to carry around, enough to fill a large cart, and spirit crystals were more convenient to carry.

  Zhang Ruochen stored eight hundred thousand silver coins on the Three Star Noble Card of Wushi Money House, carrying only two hundred Lingjing on his body, preparing to go to Qingxuan Hall to buy some elixirs, in preparation for breaking through to the Xuanji Realm.

  "Eldest sister, you seem to have gained a lot too." Zhang Ruochen saw Jiu Junzhu happily counting her spiritual crystals and walked over.

  "I only won twenty spiritual crystals, completely no match for you, Ninth Brother." The Ninth Princess narrowed her eyes, looking extremely excited. She had bet on Zhang Ruo Chen to win, and in the end, she did indeed win the gamble.

  Twenty pieces of spiritual crystal, for a county lord, is also a huge sum of money.

  Zhang Ruochen said: "I was just going to Qingxuan Pavilion to buy elixir, want to come together?"

  "Great, I just made a profit and can buy a Sanqing Zhenqi Dan to break through the Huangji Boundarys Great Extreme Position." The Ninth Princess said with delight.

  Zhang Ruochen said: "Since I won one million silver coins, its only natural that Ill be the host. Ninth Sister, what kind of elixir have you taken a fancy to? Just tell me directly."

  " Ninth brother, youre really too good!" The ninth young master again flew over and threw himself into Zhang Ruochens arms, like a swallow returning to its nest, and kissed him on the cheek.

  Rumble

  The sky, a loud thunderclap came, followed by strong winds and heavy rain pouring down.

  Zhang Ruochen and Jiu Junzhu walked out of the Huang Grade Martial Arts Palace as the rain was pouring down heavily.

  The streets were all flooded. The fallen leaves danced in the wind, and then fell into the murky water, only to be crushed by a passing vehicle into mud dust.

  "Hit me and break his legs, its really infuriating this young lady, to be so useless, cant even beat a Zhang Ruochen." Lin Xuan said coldly while standing in the rain.

  A maid held an oil-paper umbrella over Lin Daiyus head, shielding her from the wind and rain.

  The four sturdy guards of the Lin family, under Lin Xianshuangs instructions, with a sneer on their faces, kept swinging their iron rods down and striking them at A Le.

  "Humming"

  A Lai was knocked down in the rainwater, his legs were broken, his head was also smashed, and his whole body was beaten into a bloody pulp.

  "What a crappy life-taking sword guest, youre just a slave. If it werent for the young lady picking you up, you would have starved to death in the snowy wilderness."

  "Arent you very powerful? Wheres your sword? Come and kill me haha"

  "Beat it, beat this useless thing to death."

  Four guards used all their strength to swing iron clubs and let out a loud, mad laugh.

  Lin Xian stood aside, her tall and slender figure captivating, her face clear and beautiful, with a cold gaze fixed on Ah Le who was lying in the rainwater. With a hint of disdain in her expression, she said, "If it werent for your somewhat decent innate talent, I wouldnt have taken you in as a slave. Now that Zhang Ruo Chen has severed your meridians, what use are you? Beat him to death, beat this useless thing to death."

  A Lè Pā was in the murky muddy water, with a pair of eyes staring at Lin Tiě Shān standing not far away, then closed his eyes.

  The fresh blood flowing out of his body dyed the rainwater within three meters around him red.

  A burly guard with a tigers back and bears waist, holding the bloody Iron Soul, walked to Lin Xiangs side, bowed his head: "Miss, it seems that he has been killed"

  "Its really trash." Lin Xianshan stared at Ah Le, who was lying in the rainwater, and said coldly.

  "Whoosh"

  A magnificent gilded carriage drove through the rainwater and stopped in the middle of the street.

  Lin Chenyu lifted the car curtain, revealing a handsome face, and said with a gloomy smile: "Jian Xiang, we should head back"

  Lin Xuan nodded slightly, without even looking at Ah Le who was lying in a pool of blood, and got into the carriage.

  The carriage wheels turned, the magnificent carriage drove away, and soon disappeared at the end of the street.

  Not long after, four snow-white ghost shadow rabbits pulled an ancient carriage out of the Huangji Wudou Palace and stopped beside A Le.

  Zhang Ruochen got out of the ancient car and looked at Ah Le who was covered in blood. He stretched out a finger and placed it on his nose tip.

  "There is still nasal breathing, he hasnt died completely." Zhang Ruochen said.

  The Ninth Princess sat in the carriage, lifted the curtain of the window and said: "Ninth Brother, his hands and feet were all broken, and he was so seriously injured that he would definitely not survive. Even his master didnt care about him, why should we?"

  "If we dont do anything, he will really die. Send two people to take him back to the palace. Whether he lives or not depends on his own will."

  Zhang Ruochen took out a dan bottle, inside the dan bottle were ten pieces of second-grade wound-healing medicine, Shen Nai Dan. Each piece was worth two thousand silver coins.

  He put one of the holy pills into A Luos lips and then picked up the pill bottle again.

  The Jiugun Master immediately dispatched two guards to lift A Le onto another ancient carriage. That ancient carriage headed in the direction of the Wang Palace.

  Zhang Ruochen and Jiugunzhu drove the Cloud Rabbit Moon Chariot towards the direction of Dan City.

  "Drip drip drop"

  The rain, it just keeps falling.

  Pedestrians and vehicles became fewer and fewer until they finally arrived at a quiet street.

  In the darkness, a green figure flashed by quickly, falling from the top of a wooden high tower and landing lightly on a four-story flying eaves pavilion.

  One of Queen Wangs four disciples, Han Qingluo.

  Han Qingluos cyan-colored shirt was drenched by the rain, outlining her curvaceous figure, towering peaks, and slender waist, making her look like a seductive ghostly spirit walking in the dark night.

  Han Qingluos face was veiled, revealing a pair of beautiful eyes staring at the ancient carriage passing by from below.

  "Wow"

  Her jade-like hand touched her slender waist, pulled down the belt, and shook her arm. The belt turned into a soft green sword.

  She kicked her legs and immediately took off, chasing after the ancient car.

  Then, with a sudden leap into the air, he descended from the sky and landed seven meters above an ancient chariot, his sword slashing down towards it.

  "Slap"

  The old car split in two and flew off to both sides.

  That female driver was killed by the sword energy just now, and her body was split in two.

  However, the ancient car was empty and there was no sign of the ninth princes body.

  "Could he have escaped ahead of time?" Han Qings leaves fell to the ground, standing in the middle of the street, revealing a puzzled expression.

  Just as Han Qingluo was astonished, Zhang Ruochen and Jiu Junzhu walked out of the rain curtain in the distance.

  "What kind of person are you?" Jiugunzhu said with great annoyance.

  "Huh?"

  Han Qingluo let out a soft cry of surprise, completely bewildered as to how Zhang Ruochen and Jiu Guizhu had managed to escape her fatal blow.

  In fact, Zhang Ruochen and Jiu Junzhu had been in the carriage all along and did not expect that there would be assassins coming to kill them. However, at the moment when Han Qingluo made her move, Zhang Ruochen sensed the killing intent on her body.

  So he grabbed the Ninth Princess and broke through the wall of the ancient carriage, escaping from behind the ancient carriage and avoiding this disaster.

  Zhang Ruochen sized up Han Qingluo and said, "The killer of the Xuanji Boundary"

  Han Qingluos body was filled with murderous aura, her eyes were icy cold, and she was absolutely not an ordinary martial artist, but a killer who had killed countless people.

  Assassins are originally very frightening, making people defenseless and their methods of killing are endless. They can kill high-level warriors in a lower realm.

  A killer at the Mystic Extreme Boundary is naturally very frightening
