Zhang Ruochen stood tall and unwavering at the entrance of Lingyue Town, his hand grasping a broken sword, neither sorrowful nor joyful, his entire being seemingly merged with the sword.

  Lin Xuanxuan did not leave either, still standing by and staring at the mysterious youth wearing a metal mask.

  After a while, a rolling cloud of dust came sweeping over from afar, accompanied by the thundering sound of iron hooves.

  "The master of the hall is that young man. Nie Xingyun was killed by his hands." A yellow extreme boundary evil dao martial artist pointed at Zhang Ruochen and said fiercely.

  Tie Bei rode on the back of a snow-white flying cloud tiger, arching his body and gazing at Zhang Ruochen from afar. He revealed a mouthful of yellow teeth and chuckled: "So it's just a kid around ten years old, I thought it was Si Xiangkong who had arrived in Lingyue Town. Heh heh."

  Tie Ma Bei heard that Nie Zheng was killed by an inner courtyard student with one move, and he was indeed frightened, thinking that it was Si Xing Kong, the number one person in the inner courtyard school, who wanted to deal with Hei Hu Tang. Seeing that the opponent was just a young man, his heart no longer feared, but instead gave rise to contempt.

  Rumbling

  More than 200 evil Taoist warriors of the Black Tiger Hall, led by their leader Iron Camelback, rode more than 200 bell horses in a semi-encirclement formation and charged towards Zhang Ruochen.

  Smoke and dust billowed, the whistle sounded uncertainly.

  Lin Xuan didn't expect that Hei Hu Tang would have so many powerful people rushing over, and was shocked in his heart. With just the power of that young man alone, he could contend with the numerous evil Dao experts of Hei Hu Tang.

  At a distance of only twenty zhang from Zhang Ruochen, Tie Tu's arm slightly lifted, and all the evil Taoist warriors of Hei Hu Tang stopped in their tracks.

  Tie Bao Bei glanced at the ten corpses on the ground, his eyebrows furrowed deeply as he said coldly, "You little brat, you actually didn't run away, your guts aren't small."

  Zhang Ruochen said: "Why should I run away? I was waiting for you here all along."

  Due to his hunchback, Tie Huan's height appeared to be only 1.5 meters. Standing on Fei Yun Hu's back, he gave a cold smile: "You don't know the heights of heaven and earth, just because you're an inner disciple of Wu Shi Academy doesn't mean you're that great. Don't you know, four students from Wu Shi Academy have already been imprisoned in Di Huo City, including one inner disciple."

  "Oh, and there's this thing"

  Zhang Ruochen was somewhat surprised and said: "Alright, if you return those four students from the Wumeng Xuegong, I can spare your life."

  "Haha, a prisoner caught in the Fire City, how can there be a way to let him out?" Iron Camel's back burst into loud laughter, and then his eyes turned cold, saying in a low voice: "Set up an array to surround this arrogant guy for me, don't let him escape."

  Behind Iron Camel's back, 108 evil Dao warriors burst out, among them eight were at the Xuanji boundary cultivation, and the other hundred were at the Huangji boundary cultivation.

  Each warrior held a piece of array jade in their hand, pouring true energy into the jade, and the array pattern was immediately activated, completely enveloping Zhang Ruochen within the array.

  "It's another formation strike method, don't you know that so-called formation strike method is of no use to me at all?" Zhang Ruochen said.

  Tie Bei laughed and said, "Nie Zheng's array was just an incomplete set of combined attack formations, so it couldn't stop you. Now, with 108 people, they have formed a complete combined attack formation, without any weaknesses, and its power has increased by who knows how many times. Do you think you can still withstand it?"

  "There is no powerful formation without a martial artist of the Extreme North Territory presiding over it."

  Zhang Ruochen didn't continue to waste words with Tie Bao Bei, and instead raised the Xuan Yuan Ancient Sword, mobilizing all of his true energy and injecting it into the sword body. The twenty-nine power circuits on the sword body were fully activated, causing the weight of the Xuan Yuan Ancient Sword to immediately increase to two thousand nine hundred ninety-four catties.

  In the depths of the ancient sword, there are a total of sixty-six force-inscribed patterns. If all the inscriptions are activated, the weight of the ancient sword can reach six thousand six hundred and ninety-four catties.

  Each fundamental power seal can increase the weight of the sword by one hundred kilograms.

  However, with Zhang Ruochen's current cultivation at the early stage of the Earth Realm, the amount of true energy in his body was limited, and he could only simultaneously activate twenty-nine seals.

  A war sword weighing nearly three thousand kilograms, even if it's just a purely physical attack, is quite frightening. Not to mention the powerful spiritual fire energy inside Zhang Ruochen's body. The power of the Xuan Yuan ancient sword bursting out is naturally even stronger.

  If it were really a hundred Yellow Extreme Realm cultivators and ten Mystic Extreme Realm cultivators, setting up a joint attack formation. To say nothing of Zhang Ruochen, even if he were a Earth Extreme Realm cultivator, he might not be able to withstand it.

  However, Hei Hu Tang could not possibly cultivate so many elite warriors. The evil Dao warriors who set up the formation were uneven in their martial arts cultivation, and among them were even Huang Ji boundary late-stage warriors. Those Huang Ji boundary late-stage warriors could only barely support the formation's matrix, and had no combat power at all.

  The seemingly powerful formation was full of loopholes in Zhang Ruochen's eyes.

  As long as you find the weakness of the formation, just one blow can defeat them.

  "Give me a break"

  Zhang Ruochen's eyes seemed to be burning with flames, and his legs kicked out, rapidly propelling him upwards.

  With both hands grasping the hilt, he slashed downwards.

  The ancient sword sank like a fire dragon from Zhang Ruochen's hand, dragging out a ten-meter-long flame sword energy.

  Rumble

  One hundred and eight warriors united to set up a joint attack formation, but it couldn't withstand Zhang Ruochen's full-strength strike.

  It only lasted for an instant, and the Array of Mingwen was pierced by the sword energy. The nine evil Dao warriors were cut in half by the sword energy, their bodies flying out to the left and right, leaving behind a pool of blood.

  More than twenty evil martial artists were severely injured by the powerful sword energy, and like fallen leaves blown away by a strong gust of wind, they flew backward and fell to the ground in disarray.

  With just one sword strike, he broke through the combined attack formation set up by 108 evil Taoist martial artists.

  Lin Xiansan, standing in the distance, saw that extremely powerful and mysterious young man, was shocked to the point of being stunned, her mind a complete blank.

  "Hundred Feet Flying Snow"

  A cold true energy surged out of Zhang Ruochen's body, merging with the air and causing the temperature to drop rapidly. In an instant, snowflakes the size of fingernails began to fall from the sky.

  The snow is getting heavier and bigger.

  A hundred feet in diameter, big snowflakes fluttering about, it was as if they had suddenly entered the depths of winter, letting those evil martial artists from Hei Hu Tang feel a deep chill.

  "With a stir of true energy, a hundred feet of flying snow." The iron camel's face changed color in shock, looking at Zhang Ruochen, no longer daring to show the slightest disdain.

  Tie Bao Bei's cultivation was above Zhang Ruo Chen, having reached the Earth Extreme Boundary and Sky Extreme Position, but he couldn't achieve "True Energy moves, hundred feet flying snow".

  Only geniuses with special physiques can trigger extraordinary phenomena of heaven and earth after reaching the extreme realm, changing the surrounding combat environment.

  Zhang Ruochen is not an ice-attribute constitution, but because he took the Ice Pulse Pill, his meridians and true energy produced an ice attribute, which led to the appearance of the "Hundred Feet Flying Snow" phenomenon.

  If Zhang Ruochen was willing, he could completely create the phenomenon of "Hundred Feet Thunderclap" and "Hundred Feet Wildfire", because his true energy originally carried the properties of thunder and lightning and spiritual fire.

  "behead"

  Zhang Ruochen's arm waved, and the flying snow in the air immediately condensed into more than a dozen sword energies.

  "Hmm"

  "Hmm"

  Seven evil martial artists were pierced through their bodies by sword energy and let out a series of miserable cries.

  Within a hundred feet, all is fluttering snowflakes. Each and every snowflake can transform into Zhang Ruoxu's sword.

  More than thirty people fell down one after another. Those evil martial artists were also frightened and didn't dare to fight Zhang Ruochen again, turning around to escape.

  At the same time, Zhang Ruochen heard a tiger's roar coming from behind him, and the ground shook with flying sand and rolling rocks.

  A powerful surge of true energy fluctuation came from behind.

  "Little one, the master of this hall has come to meet you."

  Tie Bei stood on Fei Yun Hu's back, grasping a golden-backed war knife, and charged to Zhang Ruo Chen's front, slashing down with one knife.

  "Boom"

  Zhang Ruochen also swung his sword and clashed with Tie Tonggu's iron back in a single blow.

  The golden-backed war knife in Tie Zhui Bei's hand was a sixth-grade True Martial Treasure, and after the inscription was activated, it weighed over 2,000 jin.

  Adding the impact of the third-order Savage Beast, Fei Yun Hu's arm strength and Tie Tuo Bei's explosive power, the three combined forces are not inferior to Zhang Ruo Chen.

  The swords and knives collided with each other, stirring up a large ripple of energy that sent more than a dozen evil Taoist warriors flying out.

  Zhang Ruochen stood firmly on the spot, but his feet sank half a foot into the ground.

  "It's no wonder he's the master of Hei Hu Tang, indeed not an ordinary martial artist to be compared with." Zhang Ruochen's heart was slightly startled, and his arm felt a little numb.

  The iron camel's back was even more terrifying, and on the blade of the golden-backed war knife, a gap suddenly appeared.

  "With just a broken sword in his hand, how can he damage the sixth-grade True Martial Treasure-level Golden Back Divine Knife?" Tie Bao Bei dared not underestimate Zhang Ruochen even more.

  This young man is indeed strange.

  The inner palace of Wu Shi Xue Gong, when did such a fierce character emerge?

  Tie Bao Bei, after all, is a renowned martial artist with decades of experience, having killed countless people and accumulated rich combat experience. As the master of Hei Hu Tang, he must have some killer trump cards up his sleeve. Zhang Ruo Chen did not dare to be careless and responded extremely cautiously to this battle.

  "He can actually exchange blows with the master of Hei Hu Tang, Tie Niubei, and seems to have the upper hand." Lin Xiansan held her breath, staring tightly at that mysterious youth who had been extremely calm from start to finish.

  Before that, she had always thought that the Seventh Prince Zhang Tian Gui was the most extraordinary person in the world, and no one could compare to him. But after this mysterious youth appeared, he changed her previous way of thinking.

  Even her father, the master of the Lin family, would feel a little intimidated when talking about Tie Xiong Bei.

  The mysterious boy's strength is absolutely stronger than her father's, and even comparable to that of her grandfather.

  "If he could kill Tie Nangong, he would definitely become a legendary hero in Yunwu County." Lin Xiang thought to herself.

  "Kid, come at me with another sword strike and try your luck."

  Tie Ma's back was arched tightly, his teeth clenched, and the golden-backed divine knife in his hand emitted a piercing golden light. Rows of inscriptions surged within the blade.

  "The first move of the Broken Moon Sword Technique: The Wind of the Waning Moon."

  Shuǐ Yuè Dāo Fǎ is a top-grade spiritual knife technique.

  Tie Bei obtained the teachings of a superior man, although he only learned one move, but with just this one move, he killed many strong enemies and successfully became the master of Hei Hu Tang.

  Within the same boundary, no one can withstand his swordsmanship.

  Three years ago, he even used this powerful knife technique to kill a wounded Earth Extreme Great Perfection martial artist. It was that battle that spread Iron Camel's notorious name throughout Yunwu Commandery, making Black Tiger Hall the ninth largest force in Yunwu Commandery's underworld.

  Although it was just a single move of top-grade spiritual knife technique, it changed Tie Mu Bai's life forever.
