Seeing Huo Jingcheng leave, Han Xuan finally let out a long sigh of relief, gazed at the Qinglin snake wrapped around him, closed his eyes, and quietly mobilized the dark true energy in his body to start attacking Huo Jingcheng's seal.

  "It's bad, Huo Jingcheng used the Great Sorrow Seal Cloud Hand and actually sealed all the meridians in my body. Even if I have the Dark True Energy, it can slowly corrode Huo Jingcheng's sealing power. At least three hours are needed to unseal it. By that time, Huo Jingcheng will already be back." Han Xiao was somewhat anxious.

  What should I do now?

  Han Xuan was very clear that Huo Jingcheng wanted to force her to reveal the cultivation method of the Supreme Dry Heaven Technique, so he temporarily did not kill her.

  But Hao Jingcheng's patience was limited after all. If he couldn't get the truth out of her, he would undoubtedly kill her without hesitation to eliminate future troubles.

  "Even if it can't be broken through, it must be broken through."

  Han Xiao's eyes revealed a hint of determination. Even if it meant getting seriously injured, he had to escape before Huo Jingcheng returned.

  Zhang Ruochen stood at the top of a small hill hundreds of meters away from Han Xuan, using spatial power to distort the surrounding layers of space and hide his figure.

  After seeing Hu Jingcheng leave, he hurriedly rushed towards Han Xuan's direction.

  Just as Zhang Ruochen arrived within ten zhang of Han Xiao, the qing lin xian snake that was originally wrapped around the tree trunk suddenly raised its head, its tail whipping out like a whip.

  "Slap"

  The green scales and snake tail drew out a loud noise, bursting into a piece of sparks, accurately hitting the position in front of Zhang Ruochen.

  "It's no wonder it's a 4th-order savage beast, its perception is actually more sensitive than that of an ordinary Tianji Realm warrior."

  Zhang Ruochen knew he couldn't launch a sneak attack, so he dispersed the power of space distortion, revealing his figure, drew out the ancient sword of the Abyss, and swung it at the snake's tail.

  "Whoosh"

  The green-scaled snake quickly withdrew its tail and transformed into a green light that darted across the ground, charging towards Zhang Ruocheng's legs.

  Qīng lín xiàn shé, sì jiē xià děng mán shòu, lì liàng kān bǐ dì jí jìng dà yuán mǎn de wǔ zhě, sù dù kān bǐ tiān jí jìng zhōng qī de wǔ zhě, zài sì jiē mán shòu zhōng, zhǐ néng suàn shì jiào ruò ruò zhī yī zhǒng.

  However, its teeth contain deadly poison, and even a mid-fourth-tier savage beast will die instantly if bitten by it.

  Squeak

  The green-striped snake bared its two sharp fangs, blood-red eyes staring tightly at Zhang Ruochen, biting towards his calf.

  Zhang Ruochen's speed was far from that of Qinglin Xianshe, so he didn't dodge at all and immediately used a defensive sword move.

  Sword energy condensed into a giant sword energy bell, rapidly spinning around.

  "Humming"

  The green scales of the snake continued to collide with the sword energy on the surface of the great bell, shattering one wave after another of sword energy, but because its power was not strong enough, it could not break through the defense of the sword bell.

  Zhang Ruochen stood within the Sword Qi Great Bell, continuously observing the attack trajectory of the Qinglin Line Snake.

  After a while, Zhang Ruochen's mouth corner revealed a hint of an arc, "So that's how it is."

  The speed of the cyan scale snake was indeed astonishingly fast. Even with Zhang Ruo Chen's attainments in swordsmanship, it would be very difficult to hit it with one sword.

  However, for a seasoned warrior, it would be discovered that the Qinglin Xianshe also has its weaknesses.

  The weakness lies in its head.

  Every time a green scale snake launches an attack, its head will slow down slightly.

  "Whoosh"

  Zhang Ruochen thrust his sword out, piercing through the Sword Qi Great Bell, accurately and flawlessly stabbing through the head of the Qinglin Xianshe, pinning it to the ground.

  Zhang Ruochen strode towards Han Xuan and said, "I've come to help you lift the seal."

  "No way, Ho Jingcheng used the Great Compassion Seal Cloud Hand. Only he knows the sealing sequence. If an outsider doesn't know the sequence and tries to force the seal open, it will only cause my internal energy to flow in reverse, killing me instantly."

  The Great Seal of Cloud Hand has thirty-six hand techniques that can form tens of thousands of sealing methods.

  Every technique, with a slight change in sequence, can form a new seal. If the sequence is slightly wrong when unsealing, the sealed person has only one dead end.

  "Is that so? Coincidentally, I also learned the Dàbēi Fēngyún Shǒu (Great Compassion Seal Cloud Hand) before. Perhaps I can find the correct sequence of the sealing technique to unlock the Ho Jing City."

  Zhang Ruochen stood up in front of Han Xuan, staring at the woman with a somewhat stunning beauty, hesitated for a moment, and said: "I'm sorry"

  After finishing speaking, Zhang Ruochen's palm pressed onto Han Xuan's head top, soon found her head top's Huì Mài, then went down, explored the ear back, face, neck, and continued to go down, pinched the chest front's Ling Chong Mai, back's Tian Xin Mai.

  Han Xiang had never been touched by a man like that before, her pretty face turned red as she scolded: "What are you doing?"

  "Examining your meridians is the only way I can determine what technique Ho Jing Cheng used on you."

  Zhang Ruochen's palm slid from Han Yu's thigh all the way down to her ankle.

  Every time he explored a meridian, Zhang Ruochen would inject a thread of true energy into that meridian to explore the seal.

  But every time Zhang Ruochen releases a strand of true energy, Han Xiao would feel a numbness and tingling sensation, as if a warm current was entering his body, bringing an inexplicable comfort.

  Staring at Zhang Ruochen, who was constantly pinching and rubbing all over her body, Han Xuan felt both annoyed and a little shy, her beautiful eyes wide with embarrassment, her whole body tense, her cheeks red like two clouds.

  "Alright"

  Zhang Ruochen finished examining Han Xuan's foot soles and stood up again, condensing his true energy at the tip of his index finger.

  Han Yu became a bit nervous and stared at Zhang Ruochen, saying: "Hey wait a minute, are you sure you can break the Da Bei Feng Yun Shou"

  "Wow"

  Zhang Ruochen stared at her for a moment, his fingers quickly tapping out thirty-six finger taps in succession.

  It seemed like thirty-six strikes, but it was completed in an instant. Zhang Ruochen's fingers formed thirty-six phantoms in front of Han Xiang.

  The next moment, Zhang Ruochen's fingers had already withdrawn.

  "Uh-huh"

  Han Yu's mouth let out a muffled sound, and the true energy in his brow suddenly found an outlet, surging into his entire body's meridians.

  With renewed strength, Han Xuan's face was filled with a few strands of anger, and he slapped Zhang Ruochen with one palm.

  Zhang Ruochen's body shifted slightly, one hand grasping her wrist, his voice low and serious: "What are you trying to do?"

  Han Yu's cultivation had just recovered and hadn't reached its peak state yet, so his strength wasn't strong. As a result, after being caught by Zhang Ruochen's wrist, he couldn't resist at all.

  "Let go"

  Han Yu's face grew even more flushed with anger and shame, saying: "Zhang Ruochen, you are also the ninth prince of Yunwu County, a person with a head and a face, taking advantage of me being sealed by Huo Jingcheng, what kind of hero is that?"

  Zhang Ruochen's eyes narrowed and he said, "How did you know?"

  Han Yu gritted his teeth, showing a mouthful of snow-white teeth, and glared at Zhang Ruochen, saying: "Do you think I'm an idiot? Even if it's necessary to unlock the Great Sorrow Seal Cloud Hand, do you have to randomly grope me? You're simply shameless!"

  "What I'm saying is, how did you know my identity?" Zhang Ruochen said coldly.

  Han Xuan was slightly stunned, and then said: "So you are really Zhang TianGui's younger brother. Zhang RuoChen, I originally thought you were a rare talent, possibly surpassing your older brother to become the new number one genius of Tian Mo Ridge. But unexpectedly, you turned out to be a petty person, despicable and shameless."

  "If it weren't for you helping me out in the black market, I wouldn't have bothered rushing back to save you."

  Zhang Ruochen released her wrist, too lazy to continue arguing with her, and walked in front of the beheaded Qinglin snake with the Xuan Yuan sword.

  He used his sword to carefully cut open the snake skin of the green-striped snake and dug out a poisonous gallbladder that was only the size of a snake's eye.

  Han Yu looked at Zhang Ruo's serious expression, the anger in his heart gradually subsiding, and walked over, his hands clasped together in front of his chest, asking gruffly: "What did you dig up the Qing Xuan snake's poisonous gallbladder for?"

  "The venom of the Qinglin snake is enough to kill a warrior at the Tianji boundary. If we can extract its poisonous gallbladder, it might have great use." Zhang Ruo Chen picked up the poisonous gallbladder and stood up again, looking at Han Xuan for a moment before saying, "I was rude earlier, I apologize."

  Han Xuan gazed deeply at Zhang Ruochen and said, "The one who should be saying sorry is me. Thanks for rushing back to save me, I suppose you still have some sense of justice."

  Actually, Han Xuan also understood that to undo the Da Bei Feng Yun Shou was not an easy task. Zhang Ruo Chen just now was definitely probing and not really wanting to take advantage of her.

  But she was still indignant in her heart, after all, from childhood to adulthood, except for her own father, no other man had even touched her fingertips, but Zhang Ruochen had pinched her entire body.

  So, Han Xuanming knew that Zhang Ruochen was saving her, but she was still very angry in her heart. She could only scold Zhang Ruochen to regain her mental balance.

  Zhang Ruochen took the initiative to apologize to her, but it made her even more unexpected. The anger in her heart suddenly disappeared and instead gave rise to a different kind of emotion, feeling that she was really too unreasonable just now.

  Han Xi slightly pursed her lips, avoiding Zhang Ruochen's eyes, and said in a low voice: "We'd better leave quickly, otherwise, when Huo Jingcheng comes back, trouble will be big."

  Zhang Ruochen was originally seriously injured and had long planned to leave. He said, "Let's part ways here. You go your way, I'll go mine."

  After saying this, Zhang Ruochen unfolded the Wind Dragon Shadow and stepped on the void, continuously stepping out nine steps. After the nine steps fell, he had already reached ten miles away.

  Just as Zhang Ruochen continued on his way, he suddenly heard the sound of wind coming from behind him. He turned around to see Han Xiang rushing towards him once again.

  Zhang Ruochen had always been on guard against Han Xuan, so when he saw her catching up to him, he felt a bit annoyed and said, "Why are you following me again?"

  "It's not that I want to follow you, but rather Ho Jing Cheng has caught up. I'm currently injured and am no match for him. If we join forces, perhaps we'll have a chance." Han Xiao said.

  In the distance, a violent storm was brewing, whipping up black mud and sand, emitting a deafening roar like that of a giant beast, hot on Han Xuan's heels.

  In that whirlwind, there was indeed a figure standing, with a cold and stern voice: "This time, I'll see where you all escape to"
