Han Qingluo had no words, the soft sword in her hand shook straight, directly striking out, the sword body slapped once in the rain curtain.
A chill emanated from the sword body, condensing five raindrops into ice beads, which flew towards Zhang Ruochen and Jiugun Main like five hidden weapons.
Four ice beads shot towards Zhang Ruocheng, one of which flew towards Jiugun Zhu.
"Whoosh"
Zhang Ruochen took a step forward, standing in front of the Ninth Princess, and with a wave of his hand, he sent out a palm strike that shattered all five ice beads three meters away.
Clang
Suddenly, a sword sound echoed in Zhang Ruochens ear.
Han Qingluo, who was originally standing in the middle of the street, disappeared and reappeared behind Zhang Ruochen, her sword stabbing out.
The sword tip stabbed towards Zhang Ruochens back of the neck.
Zhang Ruochen did not turn around and immediately raised his arm, using two fingers to pinch the sword tip.
"Do you think Im Liu Chengfeng?" Han Qingluo sneered.
"Hiss"
The blue soft sword was like a spirit snake, rapidly rotating and wrapping around Zhang Ruochens arm.
If she were entwined by the soft sword on her arm, Han Qingluo only needed to suddenly retract the sword, and Zhang Ruochens entire hand would definitely be crippled.
His opponents swordsmanship was excellent, but Zhang Ruochens was even more exquisite.
He pinched the sword tip and released it, two fingers simultaneously pointing out from the center of the soft sword that was winding like a spiritual snake, stabbing at Han Qings wrist.
The true energy shot out from his fingertips and pierced a deep wound on Han Qingluos wrist.
Han Qings arm holding the sword suddenly lost its strength, and with a clang, the soft blue sword fell to the ground.
you
Who would have thought that Zhang Ruochens cultivation was so profound and his combat experience was also incredibly rich?
The assassination attempt failed.
Han Qings toes touched the ground and she immediately sprang up, landing on a ancient building beside the street, fleeing into the rain.
"Wants to escape"
Zhang Ruochen carried the Sparking Soul Sword and flew onto the ancient building, stepping on the glazed tiles as he rapidly pursued.
The thirty-six meridians simultaneously activated, causing Zhang Ruochens speed to be several times faster than Han Qingruo.
"He has just reached the peak of his cultivation in the Great Circle of Extreme Yang, how can his speed be so fast?"
Han Qingluo saw Zhang Ruochen getting closer and closer, and her heart was also secretly anxious. She reached into her hair and pulled out nine thin golden needles.
The true energy surged out from within his body, wrapping around the nine golden needles, and shot towards Zhang Ruochen who was chasing after him.
"Whoosh"
Its worth noting that on a rainy night, a warriors vision is originally very blurry and its impossible to see the nine golden needles flying at high speed. Zhang Ruochen was different, he opened up his eye aperture, and even on a rainy night, his eyesight was extremely astonishing.
"Ding Ding"
One sword swung out, and all nine golden needles flew out.
Zhang Ruochen continued to chase after him.
This was a strange scene, an assassin at the Profound Extreme Realm was fleeing non-stop, while a warrior at the Yellow Extreme Realms Great Perfection was chasing and killing him.
"Although the Ninth Prince was only in the Huang Ji Boundarys Great Perfection, his combat strength was even more terrifying than a mid-stage Wuzhe in the Xuan Ji Boundary. I must escape and inform the Queen Mother." Such were the thoughts in Han Qing Lengs mind.
She immediately infused her true energy into the blood.
The blood in her body was boiling. Her speed increased by 50%, and she instantly pulled away from Zhang Ruochen.
"Blood boiling indeed is the cultivation of the Mystic Extreme Realm, it seems that I have just entered the early stage of the Mystic Extreme Realm."
Huang Ji Jing Wu Zhe, mainly cultivates the meridians.
Xuanji boundary martial artist, mainly cultivates blood and gas.
The sign of the initial stage of Xuanji Boundary is that the blood and gas are boiling. The blood and gas in the body, like boiling water, flow rapidly through the blood vessels, allowing the martial artist to burst out with even greater power.
Some of the top masters among the Yellow List warriors may be able to defeat the early-stage Wudang warriors against the sky. However, it is very difficult to kill the early-stage Wudang warriors.
At the initial stage of Xuanji Boundary, once a martial artists blood energy is ignited, they can burst out with incredible speed, which is not something that a Yellow Rank martial artist can catch up to.
Even a genius like Zhang Ruochen is slower than Han Qingluo by a fraction at this moment.
Zhang Ruochen stopped in his tracks, standing at the edge of a towering building, a hint of a smile playing on his lips. He reached into the inner space of the Time and Space Crystal and pulled out a handful of silver coins.
"You can use hidden weapons, I can too"
Zhang Ruochens thirty-six meridians in his body all started to circulate, injecting true energy into the silver coins and suddenly scattering them out.
"Wow"
The silver coin was like a piece of silver rain, flying towards the cold green willow in front.
"Hong Hong"
Two silver coins struck on Han Qingluos back, tearing through her clothes and embedding themselves in her flesh, leaving two bloody holes on her back.
Wow
Han Qings mouth spat out a mouthful of fresh blood as he fell from mid-air and heavily crashed onto the street.
Her face was downwards, her back upwards, motionless, as if she were already dead.
Zhang Ruochen also fell down and carefully walked towards her.
"Who exactly wants to kill me?"
Zhang Ruochen turned Han Qingluos body over, making her face upwards, wanting to lift off her veil and see her true appearance.
Not good
Just as Zhang Ruochen was about to stretch out his hand, Han Qingluos eyes suddenly opened wide, and with her hands as knives, she slashed towards Zhang Ruochens neck.
Zhang Ruochen seemed to have anticipated this and also used his hand as a blade, slashing out.
"Slap"
Han Qings arm bone fractured, and a miserable cry came out of his mouth. "Jiu Wangzi, you may not die today, but someone will come to kill you."
"Who exactly sent you to kill me?" Zhang Ruochen said in a low voice.
The cold green snake lying on the ground suddenly trembled and then didnt move again.
"Hehe"
The next moment, before Zhang Ruochen could lift her veil, her body had melted into a pool of black poisonous blood, and even the clothes on her body were corroded to nothingness, leaving nothing behind.
The Ninth Princess caught up from behind and asked: "Where is the female assassin?"
She pointed at the black poisonous blood on the ground and said, "There is a poison pill hidden in her mouth. Once the mission fails, she will bite the pill and destroy all evidence. Who can train such a loyal assassin?"
The Ninth Princess felt a bit apprehensive and handed over the soft sword that the female assassin had dropped earlier to Zhang Ruochen, saying "This is the soft sword she used."
"Oh"
Zhang Ruochen took over the soft sword and injected his true energy into the sword body. The sword body immediately emitted a faint chill.
"The third-grade True Martial Treasure Sword has nine inscriptions on its body."
Zhang Ruochen carefully observed the soft sword again, shook his head lightly, and did not find any clues on the soft sword.
"Who exactly is going to assassinate Ninth Brother?"
"Wishing to know the answer doesnt necessarily mean theres no way," Zhang Ruochen said.
The Ninth Princess looked puzzled and said: "The female assassin is dead, all the clues are broken, can we still investigate the mastermind behind the scenes?"
Zhang Ruochen smiled and said, "Now, only we know that the female assassin is dead, but the mastermind behind the scenes does not know. To find out who the mastermind is, just need to lure the snake out of the hole. Ninth sister, this time, you have to cooperate with me to perform a play."
Although Jiugunzhu didnt understand Zhang Ruochens meaning, she still decided to cooperate with him.
An hour later.
The queens bedroom, a maid in palace attire knelt on the ground, somewhat panicked and said: "Your Majesty, something terrible has happened, Han Qingluos assassination attempt failed."
The queen sat calmly in her chair, looking unruffled, and said: "With her skills, she actually failed to assassinate. It seems that this Ninth Prince is quite difficult to deal with."
The maid continued: "It is said that the Ninth Prince was also seriously injured and fell into a coma. Moreover, before he fainted, he saw the true face of Han Qingluo."
"What"
The queens complexion changed slightly, and she said: "Where is Han Qingluo?"
That maid said: "According to the Ninth Princess, Miss Han was captured by Luo Tong, one of the ten great generals of the Imperial Guard, and has been taken to the Heavenly Prison. The King already knows about this matter, and in a rage, he ordered a thorough investigation into the mastermind behind the scenes."
The eldest disciple of the Queen, Zhao Lin, who was around thirty years old, stood behind the Queen and said: "Your Majesty, Luo Tong is just a rough man. He has never seen Qing Luan before, even if he catches Qing Luan, he wont be able to recognize her identity. But once the King rushes over and recognizes Qing Luans identity, the consequences will be unthinkable."
The queens face sank, saying: "Zhao Lin, you have been with the emperor for thirty years, havent you? Among the four great disciples of the emperor, your cultivation is the highest, and you have already reached the early stage of the Earth Extreme Realm."
"Your Ladyship means..."
The queen said, "Tianlao is very dangerous, only your cultivation can rush in. I want you to spare no expense and hurry to rescue Qingluo before the king sees her. If you cant rescue her, kill her, its best to destroy her body and eliminate all traces."
"I understand."
Zhao Lin hesitated for a moment, then said: "The Ninth Prince has seen Qing Luans true face, he must know that she is the princesss personal maid. If we wait until he wakes up"
The queen stood up, let out a cold hum, and said: "I will dispatch your two fellow female disciples to go over there and get rid of him, so that he will never wake up again. Opposing me will not end well."
The disciple was relieved then
Zhao Lin bowed to Queen Wang and immediately changed into her night-traveling clothes, leaving the palace and heading towards the Heavenly Prison.
Then, Queen Wang sent out her second and third disciples, Yao Su and Zhao Wuxia, to thoroughly kill the Ninth Prince before he woke up.
Yao Sus cultivation reached the extreme realm of Dharma Wheel.
Zhao Wuxias cultivation had reached the extreme position of the Mystic Extreme Realm.
The four great disciples were King Hous four deadly swords. Except for Han Qingluo, who was taken in later, the other three disciples had all followed King Hou for over twenty years and were all top-notch masters. Almost all of King Hous enemies had been killed by them.
As long as they are there, no one can shake Queen Wangs position in the court.
The queen mother was very confident in their strength.
The queen waited in the palace for three quarters of an hour, but they still hadnt returned to report back. She finally felt a sense of unease and a bad premonition arose in her heart.
It wasnt until dawn broke that news finally came back.
The three great disciples were all ambushed and surrounded by a large number of imperial guards.
In order not to expose the queen, they all bit open the poison pills and died.
In one night, all four great disciples died.
Upon hearing the news, Queen Wang nearly fell off her seat, closed her eyes and said in a trembling voice: "Immediately draft a letter to Seventh Son, ordering him to return to the palace."
