On the brink of life and death, Feng Zhi Lin merely had a brief moment of distraction, but immediately came back to his senses.

  Since the sword is lost, choose the gun.

  He raised a nine-foot-long iron spear from the fourth layer of the weapon rack, and as expected, he swung it out with a whooshing sound, slashing diagonally towards Zhang Ruochen.

  Zhang Ruochen took a step back and dodged the iron spear. His body was as light as a leaf, floating more than ten feet away.

  "Chasing the Wind Steps"

  Feng Zhi Lin channeled his true energy to his legs, executing a top-grade human-level footwork technique. His legs seemed to be wrapped in a whirlwind as he closely pursued.

  He chased Zhang Ruochen five meters away and shot again.

  The true energy surges from the palm of the hand, through the gun barrel, and is transmitted to the tip of the gun.

  The tip of the iron spear emitted a burst of flames, setting the iron spear ablaze, like a nimble fire snake flying in the air.

  "True energy actually has a fierce flame attribute." Zhang Ruochen looked at the incoming long spear and nodded lightly.

  The current strength of Feng Zhi Lin is at least enough to rival four ordinary extreme realm great extremes at the same time.

  Zhang Ruochen dodged Wind Knowing Lin's full-force thrust by taking a sidestep, his body like an illusion.

  Feng Zhi Lin was enraged and said: "If you have the ability, don't hide, come out and fight me openly."

  "If you can't even touch the hem of my garment, what qualifications do you have to fight me?"

  Zhang Ruochen held the iron sword in his hand and said calmly: "Show me all your skills, let's see if you're worthy of making me draw my sword."

  "Abominable"

  Feng Zhilin's mouth let out a long whistle, and his body surged with strands of red blood energy. The blood energy rushed towards the ground, forming a circular blood array with a diameter of five meters on the surface.

  The blood energy was like a thread of silk, gathering in the formation, converging into a path, emitting a faint bloody light that enveloped Feng Zhi Lin at its center.

  Blood gasification array.

  Only when one's cultivation reaches the extreme boundary of the Mystic Extreme Realm can they achieve this.

  Moreover, the blood array condensed by Feng Zhi Lin seems to be a mid-grade blood array rather than a low-grade one.

  The higher the level of Blood Array, the greater the amplification of the warrior's power.

  "Scarlet Flame Divine Gun"

  Feng Zhi Lin held his long spear horizontally and swung his arm, the flames covering the surface of the spear becoming even more scorching.

  This is a low-grade spiritual gun technique, with a total of eight moves, and Feng Zhi Lin has already successfully cultivated it.

  "Whoosh"

  A long spear shot out, forming a fiery cloud, and in an instant, it arrived right in front of Zhang Ruochen.

  Under the amplification of the Blood Array, Feng Zhi Lin's explosive speed was almost on par with Zhang Ru Chen.

  Zhang Ruochen's eyes turned serious, his five fingers tightly grasping the iron sword. With a single horizontal slash, he struck the tip of the long spear, knocking it away and sealing off all of Feng Zhilin's subsequent moves.

  He quickly stepped forward, his sword slanting upwards in a swift motion, stabbing towards Feng Zhi Lin's right armpit.

  Feng Zhi Lin's face changed, and he immediately turned his long spear around, using the tail of the spear to slash towards Zhang Ruo Chen's back.

  Zhang Ruochen had just rushed to the front of Feng Zhi Lin when he felt like he had jumped into a muddy pit, his speed slowing down significantly. Looking down, he only then discovered that he had already stepped into the Blood Array, his speed being suppressed by the power of the array.

  Just then, a gust of wind blew into Zhang Ruochen's ear, and the tail of the long spear was suspended above his head, ready to fall at any moment. If he was hit by the long spear, even if he didn't die, he would be seriously injured.

  "Tian Xin Jian Zhong"

  Zhang Ruochen's true energy completely burst out, forming a large bell-shaped virtual shadow that protected his body at the center of the bell.

  The long spear chopped down on the virtual shadow of Jian Zhong, forming a powerful counter-impact inside.

  Boom

  The two men backed away from each other again, reopening a distance of ten meters between them.

  Feng Zhi Lin stood upright with his gun, let out a cold laugh and said: "This young master can condense an intermediate blood array, the power of the blood array can enhance my strength while suppressing yours. Zhang Ruochen, you're dead for sure."

  Blood Array is somewhat similar to Space Domain, but it can't compare to Space Domain at all.

  The reason why the martial artist of the Grand Supreme Realm is much stronger than that of the Middle Supreme Realm is that the martial artist of the Grand Supreme Realm can condense the Blood Array.

  Under the suppressive power of Blood Array, few warriors in the Middle Extreme could defeat those in the Great Extreme.

  "The Wind Knows the Forest has actually condensed a medium-grade Blood Array, truly remarkable. If he can be given a large amount of cultivation resources, it's possible that the Western Courtyard will have another Xuanbang warrior." Elder Situ gently twirled his mustache, revealing a knowing smile.

  Xie Zhanglao snorted and said no more.

  "It's done, the wind knows the forest, and what has condensed is actually a medium-sized blood array. The power of the blood array is bursting out, enough to rival six or seven martial artists of the same realm. The Ninth Prince's Palace is in trouble." Yucheng Feng sighed.

  "Is the Middle Blood Formation very powerful?" a newcomer asked.

  Liu Chengfeng said: "Among the ten Xuanji Boundary Great Realm martial artists, only one can condense a medium-grade Blood Array. You say it's strong or not? If Feng Zhilin's meridians are opened up enough and his cultivation techniques and martial skills are high-level enough, after he reaches the Xuanji Boundary Great Perfection, there is even a 10% chance that he will become a Xuanbang martial artist."

  No one dares to say they will definitely become a Xuanbang Wuzhe, it's just a matter of probability.

  A slim chance, although very low, is already quite good. At least he has the opportunity to make a breakthrough, other warriors don't even have that chance.

  Everyone began to worry about Zhang Ruochen, hoping he wouldn't lose. If he lost, Liu Chengfeng would definitely not let him live.

  "Medium blood array, not bad." Zhang Ruochen nodded lightly.

  If Zhang Ruochen were to exert his spatial domain, he could naturally suppress Feng Zhilin and defeat him with ease.

  However, Zhang Ruochen did not want to use the power of the spatial domain.

  Feng Zhi Lin saw that Zhang Ruo Chen was still fearless, and a cold hum came from his mouth as he launched another attack. This time, he must pierce Zhang Ruo Chen's heart.

  "Hehe"

  As Feng Zhi Lin's gunfire burst out, the air itself seemed to ignite, producing a series of sharp cracking sounds.

  Zhang Ruochen did not dodge and when the long spear was three meters away from him, the flames on the spear made his face turn red.

  "Full Moon in Heaven's Heart"

  Tianxin Swordsmanship Fourth Move

  Zhang Ruochen's arm swung, and the long spear drew a circle in the air, leaving behind thirty-six white sword shadows. The thirty-six white sword shadows formed a circular shape, just like a wheel of white moonlight being held in his hand.

  "Whoosh"

  Thirty-six sword shadows flew out at the same time.

  Feng Zhi Lin hastily changed from offense to defense, continuously wielding his long spear and shattering the sword energy.

  However, seven sword auras still flew to his face, four of which hit his body, and the other three sword auras grazed over the surface of his skin, leaving only three shallow blood marks.

  "Humming"

  Feng Zhilin's clothes were pierced by the sword energy, revealing four holes. Below the holes, metal scales were exposed. It turned out that he was wearing armor under his clothes, which had blocked the four sword energies just now.

  However, the power of those four sword auras was extremely strong. Although they were blocked by the armor, they still shook the wind and trees, causing blood to churn and leaving some minor injuries.

  "What a powerful sword! If Feng Zhilin hadn't been wearing armor, he would have been seriously injured or even killed just now."

  "Zhang Ruochen is so young, how can his swordsmanship be so remarkable?"

  Xie's eyes narrowed, and suddenly his face showed great joy, saying: "The sword follows the heart to the high stage of the realm"

  Several other elders heard Elder Xie's words and also suddenly realized, no wonder, the swordsmanship that Zhang Ruochen had just displayed had indeed reached the realm of "Sword Following Heart" at a higher level.

  Too shocking

  To know, this group of elders are all at the boundary of Sword Following Heart's high level, none have reached the peak.

  Du Mu Xingling was also shocked, feeling unbelievable, and said: "His attainments in swordsmanship are terrifyingly high, once he breaks through the Profound Extreme Realm's Great Perfection, he will definitely become a Profound List warrior, and his ranking on the Profound List will certainly not be low."

  She originally only knew that Zhang Ruochen was highly accomplished in palm techniques, but she didn't think that Zhang Ruochen's accomplishments in sword techniques were even higher.

  "With such a high level of swordsmanship, it seems that Zhang Ruochen has already won." Du Mu Xingling's face had a faint smile on it as she lightly glanced at Huang Yan and said: "Sister Dust, you shouldn't be willing to kill a genius like Zhang Ruochen, should you?"

  Huang Yanchen's expression also changed slightly. With Zhang Ruochen's age, he could cultivate to the high-level realm of Sword Following Heart, which was indeed a shocking natural talent.

  "No matter how talented he is, his character is too poor." Huang Yanchen thought for a moment and stared at Duansheng, saying: "You don't want me to accept him, do you?"

  Duanmu Xingling smiled and said: "After all, you've already done that kind of thing, if you don't accept him, what else can you do?"

  "Hmph, even if I spare his life, it's impossible for me to accept him," Huang Yanchen said.

  "Dust sister, this is what you said, if in the future, I accidentally fall in love with him and snatch him away from you, don't blame me" Duanmu Xingling's big eyes curved slightly, curving into two crescent moons.

  Huang Yanzhen stared at Duanmuxingling carefully, guessing the meaning of her previous words in his heart, and said: "You won't really have taken a liking to him, will you?"

  Du Mu Xing Ling stood tall with her majestic aura, gazing at Zhang Ruo Chen who was standing on the Mortal Stage. She smiled and said: "He's young, handsome, has exceptional talent, and is even a prince. I simply can't find any flaws in him. If I weren't careful, I might just fall for him, which is entirely possible."

  Huang Yanchen looked somewhat displeased and said: "You're two years older than him, aren't you?"

  "It seems we can't be sisters after all." Du Mu Xing Ling glared at Huang Yan Chen with some resentment, saying: "It looks like you're still not willing to let me have it."

  Huang Yanchen also stared at Zhang Ruochen, the absolutely beautiful face couldn't see any emotional fluctuations, and said meaningfully: "Xingling, do you think he has no possibility of becoming a Saint?"

  Saint

  Du Mu Xing Ling's eyes also became serious, nodded and said: "The saint has transcended the category of martial artists and entered another state of life. The entire Tianmo Ridge thirty-six states, not even one saint. His talent is very high, but wanting to become a saint is almost impossible."

  After a pause, Du Mu Xing Ling continued: "However, I think that if he can maintain his current cultivation state all the way to the Tian Ji boundary, there is still a chance for him to become a Half-Sage."

  "Could he be a demigod?" Huang Yanzhen's beautiful eyes had a complex expression, always feeling that she couldn't see through Zhang Ruochen.

  This young man, although his current cultivation is not as good as hers, but the potential he has shown is astonishing.
