Stop

  At Zhang Ruochen's command, both of them simultaneously sheathed their swords and stopped.

  The nine silhouettes on the left overlap each other, forming Zhang Ruochen's body.

  The nine people on the right overlapped each other and converged into Han Xiao's body.

  Han Xuan was deeply immersed in the mystery of the formation, but suddenly stopped, somewhat puzzled, and said: "Why do we need to stop? Didn't we just practice perfectly?"

  Perfection

  Zhang Ruochen said, "That can also be called perfect. When we practiced the sword formation, there was no tacit understanding between us. The eighteen people's sword moves were not connected at all, and our sword intentions could not communicate with each other. We didn't even form the true shape of the Yin-Yang Two Instruments Sword Formation, let alone mobilize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth."

  Han Yu was somewhat displeased and said, "Without mutual understanding, it's no wonder that you've never considered me a friend and have always been on guard against me. With your attitude, how can we have mutual understanding?"

  "I'm very curious, I've never done anything wrong to you, and I've even shown kindness to you many times. Why do you view me as an enemy?"

  Zhang Ruochen fell silent for a moment before saying, "If I really considered you an enemy, I wouldn't have reached out to save you."

  "What's the reason? Is it because of Zhang Tiangu?" Han Xuan asked.

  Zhang Ruochen did not deny it, saying: "That's right, with your intelligence, you should understand that Zhang Tiangu and I are already in a state of water and fire, and there will be a battle in the future. You are his junior sister, how can I not guard against you?"

  "In Wang City, I had already sensed that something was off about your relationship, but I never thought it would be this bad."

  "Perhaps Zhang Tianguai did something wrong in some aspects, but he is still a good person, not only talented, but also straightforward and kind to people. If you really have conflicts, I can step in and help mediate. After all, you are biological brothers."

  Zhang Ruochen smiled and said, "There are some things that I don't want to explicitly state, you will naturally understand later. In the royal family, there is no concept of close brothers. You don't need to worry about what's going on between him and me."

  Han Xiang stared into Zhang Ruochen's eyes, as if wanting to see through his true thoughts. In her heart, she thought, "Could it be that Zhang Tianguang did something wrong to Zhang Ruochen, causing the conflict between them to escalate to an irreconcilable degree?"

  In fact, in Han Xi's heart, Zhang Tian Gui is still a good person, at least there is nothing that makes her dislike him, but rather many things worth learning from.

  After Zhang Ruochen said that, Han Xuan had a few doubts and secretly decided that after returning to the Tianmo Martial City, he would definitely send someone to thoroughly investigate Zhang Tiangu.

  She was meant to marry Zhang Tian Gui, as her father, the master of the Yun Tai Zong Fu clan, had already intended for her to be betrothed to him.

  If Zhang Tiangui was really a despicable person who could even plot against his own younger brother, then she would never marry him.

  Although she had been with Zhang Ruochen for a short time, she felt that Zhang Ruochen would never slander Zhang Tianqi without reason.

  Han Yu somewhat puzzledly said: "Since you have your guard up against me, why did you pass on the Yin Yang Two Instruments Sword Array to me?"

  "All I passed on to you is the Yin Rites Nine Swords, without the Yang Rites Nine Swords, you fundamentally cannot set up the Yin and Yang Double Rites Sword Array."

  Zhang Ruochen paused for a moment and then said: "Besides, after spending some time together recently, I think you are still a trustworthy person."

  "You should have trusted me long ago." Han Xiao's eyebrows slightly raised, and he added another sentence: "If there was more trust between us, we wouldn't be hunted down so miserably."

  "Continue to practice the sword, strive to integrate the yin and yang two-style sword array as soon as possible. I'm worried that if we continue to wait, more masters from the Poisonous Spider Merchant Guild and the Four Sides County will arrive, which would be even more unfavorable for us." Zhang Ruo Chen said.

  "Uh-huh"

  The two continued to practice the Yin and Yang Double Swords Formation, spending almost ten hours every day to hone their sword formation.

  As time spent together grows longer, the two people's understanding of each other also deepens, and they become more and more in tune with each other.

  Finally, on the sixth day, the sword array exercise was successful.

  Han Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, staring at Zhang Ruochen and said excitedly: "We've finally succeeded! With our Yin-Yang Two Instruments Sword Formation, not to mention one Ho Jingcheng, even two Ho Jingchengs may not be a match for us. Now, let's break out!"

  Zhang Ruochen appeared quite calm and said, "Indeed it's time to go out."

  Rumble

  The stone gate of the underground palace slowly opened.

  When Zhang Ruochen and Han Xuan walked out of the underground palace, Huo Jingcheng, who was guarding outside, immediately opened his eyes wide.

  Huo Jing Cheng smiled coldly: "You two have finally come out. I thought you were going to hide in there for the rest of your lives."

  Han Xuan pinched the White Jade Ancient Sword, stretched out a lazy waist, and drew a perfect curve, smiling: "If we didn't have absolute confidence, would we come out from inside?"

  "Oh, could it be that you've already broken through to the Heavenly Extreme Realm?"

  Huo Jingcheng immediately became cautious. If Han Xuan really reached the Tianji boundary, then the person who should have escaped would become him.

  Han Xuan smiled and said: "Why must we reach the Tianji boundary? With just our two people's Diji boundary cultivation, it is enough to kill you."

  Haha

  Huo Jingcheng burst out laughing and said: "You think that with your injuries healed, the two of you joining forces would be a match for me?"

  "That's right." Han Xiao said firmly.

  Zhang Ruochen said: "Array"

  "Whoosh"

  Zhang Ruochen and Han Xuan rushed out at the same time, standing in two directions of Huo Jing City, holding their swords and pointing at Huo Jing City who was standing in the center.

  "With your current cultivation, even if you set up a formation, you are still no match for me. Furious Wind Beast Shadow"

  Huo Jingcheng raised his hands to the sky, and the true energy inside his body burst out, stirring up the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, forming a massive storm vortex.

  A whistling sound echoed through the air.

  Under the control of the true energy in Huojing City, a violent whirlwind formed a huge beast shadow, with a body length of over ten meters, forming a semi-transparent shape, baring its teeth and claws as it charged towards Zhang Ruochen.

  "Whoosh whoosh"

  Zhang Ruochen and Han Xuan almost simultaneously moved at the same time. Originally, there were only two figures, but in an instant, they turned into eighteen figures.

  Above the shadows of eighteen people, a bright sword energy circle is formed, like a Tai Chi Bagua seal, constantly rotating.

  "Wow"

  Zhang Ruochen struck out with his sword, using a powerful and expansive technique that directly cleaved the beastly shadow formed by the converging wind blades in two.

  "What"

  Huo Jingcheng was shocked and pale, how did that little guy's power suddenly become so strong?

  He was just about to strike again at Zhang Ruochen when suddenly a sharp sword sound came from behind him.

  "Watch out for the sword"

  Han Yu's figure was slender and elegant, like a flying fairy with a sword, executing the "Clouds in the Moon" move from the Nine Swords of Yin Yi, directly stabbing into the back of Huo Jingcheng.

  "Hiss"

  The White Jade Ancient Sword's body had flowing light circuit patterns, bursting out a nine-foot long sword tip, piercing through Huo Jing City's clothes, leaving behind a not shallow nor deep sword wound.

  Huo Jingcheng felt a sharp pain coming from behind and immediately charged forward, roaring: "I don't believe it, I won't be defeated by your sword formation."

  Huo Jingcheng suddenly turned around and slapped Han Xuan with his palm.

  Just as his palm was about to strike Han Yu's body, Zhang Ruochen attacked again from behind.

  Huo Jingcheng felt the fierce flames aura coming from behind, he could only withdraw his palm, swung his arm and struck out a gust of wind blade, slashing towards his back.

  Just as Huo Jingcheng thought he had forced Zhang Ruochen back, a sword shadow slashed down from the upper left position, cutting off a strand of his hair.

  Huo Jingcheng's face changed drastically as he finally realized the ferocity of the Yin Yang Twin Swords Formation.

  In his view, it was not a fight against two people, but a fight against eighteen people.

  Anyone's shadowy sword move can turn into a real move at any time, catching him off guard.

  Han Yu emitted a silvery laughter, constantly changing positions in the sword array, and said: "Huo Shibo, our sword array is still okay, don't you want to give us some pointers?"

  "It's just a sword array. In the face of absolute strength, formations are just child's play." Huo Jingcheng said coldly.

  "In that case, we won't play with you anymore"

  Han Yu stared at Zhang Ruochen.

  Zhang Ruochen nodded at her.

  The two of them went all out and displayed their swordsmanship, operating the Yin Yang Double Swords Formation to its extreme.

  "Capture in the Wind"

  "Plucking chestnuts from the fire"

  The range of the Yin and Yang Two Forms Sword Array is getting smaller and smaller, from an initial diameter of over 10 zhang to 9 zhang, then 8 zhang.

  As the range of the sword formation narrows, the swordsmanship attacks become increasingly dense.

  In the end, the diameter of the sword array was reduced to just one zhang.

  Huo Jingcheng was trapped in the sword formation, like a caged beast, and could only keep striking out to fend off the incoming sword moves. Although his cultivation was deep, the sword wounds on his body were getting more and more numerous.

  "Hmm"

  Zhang Ruochen slashed horizontally with his sword, chopping at the neck of Huo Jingcheng. Finally, he broke through Huo Jingcheng's defensive Tianxia and beheaded him.

  "Boom"

  After his head was cut off, Huo Jingcheng's body could no longer control the wind power and fell to the ground with a thud.

  "It's finally over"

  Han Yu retrieved the White Jade Ancient Sword and said with some regret, "Actually, our coordination is still not tacit enough. If we could be even more in sync, killing Huo Jing City would have been easier."

  Zhang Ruochen looked at the corpse on the ground without a hint of joy and said, "Let's go, we should leave here as soon as possible."

  "Uh-huh"

  Han Xuan nodded slightly.

  Not long after Zhang Ruochen and Han Xuan left, an old man wearing a purple gold crown rode a three-legged fire crow into the White Fog Ancient City, stopping above the underground palace.

  The old man jumped down from the back of the three-legged crow, walked to the side of Huo Jingcheng's corpse, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes. He muttered to himself: "It turns out that you can kill the Town Spirit County Master and Huo Jingcheng. These two young people are not to be underestimated."

  His nose twitched slightly as he said, "The smell of blood is still very fresh, it should have been less than three hours since the death."

  The old man glanced at the ground and soon found the trail left by Zhang Ruochen and Han Xuan when they departed.

  He jumped back onto the three-legged fire crow's back, riding the three-legged fire crow as he chased after Zhang Ruochen and Han Miao in the direction they had left.

  Wishing everyone a happy Lantern Festival. Originally planned to update an extra chapter, but it's almost 12 o'clock and need to prepare for the rush sale. So, Little Fish decided to update again tomorrow at noon. That is to say, two chapters will be updated tomorrow at noon.
