Zhang Shaochu was extremely surprised and searched everywhere for Liu Chuanshen, but couldn't find even a single hair.

  Could it be that Liu Chuan's soul was put into the belly of the Double-Headed Blood Lion by Ninth Brother?

  Zhang Shaochu stared at the belly of the double-headed blood lion, then looked at Zhang Ruochen who was calm and composed, and secretly made up his mind that when he returned to Wang City, he would definitely ask Ninth Brother to teach him that secret technique.

  Dada

  The sound of iron hooves is getting closer and closer.

  Soon, a group of black-clad men wearing golden masks, riding tall antelopes, charged towards Zhang Ruochen and Zhang Shaochu with an aura of killing intent.

  There were twenty-one people in total, all of whom were strong martial artists, carrying bows and arrows, and battle swords.

  Every black-clad person had bloodstains on their bodies, and the golden masks on their faces made them look ferocious. Everyone's eyes were fixed on Zhang Ruochen and Zhang Shaochu.

  In an instant, the atmosphere on the mountain path became extremely solemn and murderous.

  One of the tall, black-clad men glared at Zhang Ruochen and Zhang Shaochu, saying in a deep voice: "Who are you two? Why have you appeared here?"

  Zhang Shao appeared fearless, puffed out his chest, and stared at the man in black through his nostrils, saying proudly: "This road was built by my family, why can't I appear here?"

  The man in black at the front said coldly: "Have you seen a middle-aged man who was seriously injured?"

  "There isn't." Zhang Ruochen said calmly.

  Zhang Ruochen could feel a strong aura emanating from the black-clothed man, which was very similar to the aura on Hong Ye's body.

  That is to say, the cultivation of that black-clothed person has probably reached the Earth Extreme Boundary.

  If they are really after Liu Chuanshen's life, then it would be best not to provoke them.

  That man in black carefully sized up Zhang Ruochen and Zhang Shaochu, then beckoned to the men in black behind him and said, "Let's go."

  Zhang Ruochen and Zhang Shaochu both let out a slight sigh of relief.

  Just then, a voice in black clothes sounded: "Master of the helm, there is blood on the ground."

  The man in black at the front immediately looked down at the ground and found a fresh bloodstain. The man in black immediately raised his head, his eyes coldly fixed on Zhang Ruochen.

  "Get moving."

  Since it had already been exposed, Zhang Ruochen made a decisive move, swinging the Soul Slayer Sword and slashing at the black-clothed man with the strongest cultivation.

  Zhang Shaochu also immediately took out the deadly sickle, killing into the black-clothed people, seemingly fat body, but with extremely agile movements.

  In an instant, Zhang Shaochu killed three people in a row.

  "What a hassle" Xiao Hei tore off one page of the book, held it with two cat claws, and injected his true energy into the page.

  A faint halo appeared on the surface of the book page.

  "Hmph"

  The pages flew out, sharper than Bill's blade, and beheaded a black-clad man in the early stage of Xuanji.

  Zhang Ruochen burst out his strongest power, both arms exerting force, one sword chopping onto the head of that black-clothed person.

  "Good kid, you've hidden him deep enough. Where have you taken that heavily injured person?" The black-clothed man took down the purple wooden sword from his back and held it horizontally to block Zhang Ruochen's full-force strike.

  Boom

  The black-clothed man's horse, unable to withstand the powerful force, had its four legs broken and let out a mournful whinny as it fell to the ground and tumbled down the cliff.

  Zhang Ruochen saw the black-clad man block his full-strength sword, and his eyes narrowed as he said, "Indeed, you are a strong practitioner of the Earth Extreme Realm. A strong practitioner like you in Yunwu Commandery has a name and a reputation. Who exactly are you?"

  "Boom"

  Zhang Ruochen struck out with another sword, and under the power of the ice system's inscription, the sword energy carried a chill, causing a layer of frost to form on the black-clad man's body.

  That man in black retreated three steps back and stared at Zhang Ruochen again, feeling quite surprised.

  He never expected a teenager in his early teens to burst out with combat power that was no weaker than his own.

  It took him more than 40 years of cultivation to achieve his current level.

  How old was that young man?

  "Little kid, what exactly are you?" The black-clothed man's wrist exerted force, a thick and powerful true energy burst out from his body, sending Zhang Ruochen flying backward.

  Zhang Ruochen quietly released the spatial domain, covering the black-clothed men within it, and said: "Why do you want to kill Liu Chuanshen?"

  "Liuchuan Shen was indeed saved by you, huh? You've made a big mistake, kid. Hand over Liuchuan Shen honestly and our master can spare your life." The man in black stood at the edge of the cliff, holding his sword horizontally.

  "If I'm not mistaken, your cultivation is at the early stage of Di Ji." Zhang Ruocen said.

  The cultivation of the Extreme Boundary is, in Yunwu Commandery, absolutely a top-notch martial arts expert, and can completely establish a family or a sect. Entering the military, it would also be a general-level figure.

  "The man in black laughed and said: 'You're scared'"

  Zhang Ruochen shook his head and said, "What I mean is that with your current cultivation level, you still can't kill me."

  "The arrogant strongmen at the extreme borders can't even kill you, you think you're a mysterious warrior?" The man in black said.

  Zhang Ruochen no longer spoke, and activated all fourteen seals on the Flash Soul Sword. He stepped forward with his footwork, attacking the man in black.

  "Heavenly Heart Points the Way"

  With a swing of his sword, he drew out a seven-meter-long sword energy on the ground, leaving behind a long trail of sword marks.

  The man in black didn't expect that the kid wouldn't just not run away but instead actively attack him.

  "Welcome."

  The man in black grasped the purple Pu knife with both hands, and under the stimulation of the true energy, the inscription was activated, and a few strands of purple electricity appeared on the blade.

  Boom

  One sword cuts through the sword energy.

  The man in black took three steps forward, leaving three deep footprints on the ground. As he took his last step, his body flew up and a knife chopped down towards Zhang Ruochen.

  The sword contains the power of lightning, with his body as the center, strands of free electricity appear in the surrounding air, all converging on the blade.

  Zhang Ruochen was unable to retreat because behind him was a cliff.

  "Full Moon in Heaven's Heart"

  Shan Huan Sword drew a circle in the air, with bright sword light, making the sword circle like a bright moon, suspended above Zhang Ruo Chen's head.

  The sword move struck out and collided fiercely with the purple wooden knife, a fierce sound wave spread out and lingered for a long time between the mountains.

  " Splash "

  The stone under Zhang Ruochen's feet shattered, and the broken stones rolled down the cliff, falling into the deep abyss.

  "Hiss"

  The man in black quickly changed his move, his body spinning 360 degrees in mid-air, and slashed out three knives in a row.

  Every sword contains the power of lightning, extremely fierce, even a cliff would have been split apart.

  Zhang Ruochen could only passively defend himself, casting the Wind Dragon Shadow to swiftly sweep across the narrow mountain path, trying his best to avoid a head-on collision with the black-clad man.

  "The strong ones in the Earthly Boundary are indeed formidable. With my current strength, I can contend with a martial artist at the initial stage of the Earthly Boundary, but it's too difficult to defeat one." Zhang Ruochen thought to himself.

  Fortunately, Zhang Ruochen's speed was on par with the black-clothed man. If it were Si Kongyu who fought against the black-clothed man instead, he would probably lose within ten moves.

  "It's really strange, this kid has exchanged over 50 moves with me and hasn't lost yet, could he be a true master of the mysterious martial arts?" The black-clothed man grew more and more shocked as he fought, finally realizing that the young man in front of him was not to be underestimated.

  Not an Earth Extreme martial artist, but his combat strength is not much weaker than that of an Earth Extreme martial artist.

  Only those who have achieved mastery in martial arts can accomplish such a feat.

  The entire Yunwu County had only eighteen Xuanbang warriors, and the youngest one was already thirty-five years old.

  At just over ten years old, he became a master of the mystic martial arts chart; how high must his innate talent be to achieve this?

  "Threefold Slash of the Devil's Blade."

  The man in black unleashed a spirit-level, lower-grade knife technique, greatly increasing his aura. One slash of the knife transformed into three knife shadows, and the purple wooden knife in his hand also chopped forward, slashing towards Zhang Ruochen's neck.

  The spiritual martial arts displayed by the Earth Extreme Realm warrior are extremely powerful and cannot be compared to those displayed by the Mystic Extreme Realm warrior.

  The knife had not yet landed on Zhang Ruochen's body, but the clothes on his body had already been torn apart by an invisible force.

  "Heavenly Heart Wind Rain"

  Zhang Ruochen suddenly soared into the air, his sword intent bursting forth as he walked to the peak of the sword's realm. His sword was like a startled swan, dancing on the blade of the purple wooden knife, stabbing towards the black-robed man's heart.

  The black-clothed man's face changed drastically as he exclaimed: "The realm of Sword Following the Heart Walking High isn't it, how can it be the realm of Sword Following the Heart Walking Pinnacle?"

  Generally speaking, even among the top martial artists in the world, very few can cultivate their skills to the pinnacle of "the sword follows one's heart".

  A young man in a mysterious and extreme realm has cultivated his swordsmanship to such an extent that it can be described as monstrous.

  Previously, Zhang Ruochen's swordsmanship had always remained at the level of "Sword Following Heart Walking" middle stage and hadn't unleashed its true power.

  Not until absolutely necessary would he reveal his trump card.

  Since they've been exposed, the men in black must die.

  The man in black decisively abandoned his purple wooden sword and tried to dodge Zhang Ruochen's fatal blow.

  But he still underestimated the power of Jian Sui Xin's sword move, and just as he took a step back, Ling Hun Sword pierced his heart.

  "Hiss"

  The tip of the Shanhun Sword pierced out from behind the black-robed man's back, dripping down a drop of fresh blood.

  The man in black looked at the sword piercing his heart, feeling its chill, gritted his teeth and let out a loud roar, "Then let's die together!"

  Mobilizing his last bit of strength, the black-clad man charged towards Zhang Ruochen and sent him tumbling down the cliff.

  Zhang Ruochen's face also changed slightly, he didn't expect the life force of a Di Ji Jing Wu Zhe to be so strong, having been stabbed through the heart, yet still had the power to counterattack.

  " Ninth Brother." Zhang Shaochu's face changed and he immediately rushed towards the edge of the cliff.

  Just then, Zhang Ruochen transformed into a virtual shadow, holding a bloody war sword, flew up from under the cliff and landed steadily on the ground.

  Zhang Ruochen let out a long sigh and said, "It was too close, fortunately I had cultivated the Wind Dragon Shadow, otherwise I would have really ended up with him. From now on, I must not be so careless."

  Zhang Shaochu thought of the dazzling speed-type martial skill that Zhang Ruochen had displayed on the challenge stage, and he secretly thought to himself, "That must be the Wind Chasing Flying Dragon Shadow. I'll have to ask Ninth Brother to teach me when I get the chance. If I can master that speed-type martial skill, even if a Martial Artist at the Earth Extreme Realm wants to kill me, it won't be an easy task."
