On the stage of life and death, Feng Zhilin only lost his mind for a short time, and immediately reacted.

Since you have lost your sword, choose your gun.

He lifted a nine-foot-long iron spear on the fourth layer of the weapon rack, and sure enough, he swept the spear horizontally, and slashed towards Zhang Ruochen with a whistling sound.

Zhang Ruochen took a step back, dodged the iron spear, his body was as light as a leaf, and he flew more than ten zhang away.

"Chasing the Wind"

Feng Zhilin transported his true qi to his legs, and performed a human-level step, his legs seemed to be wrapped in a whirlwind, and he chased after him.

chased Zhang Ruochen five meters away, and he stabbed out another shot.

True Qi gushed out from the palm of the hand, passed through the barrel of the gun, and transmitted to the tip of the gun.

A ball of flame came out from the tip of the iron spear, making the iron spear burn, like a dexterous fire snake flying in the air.

"True Qi actually carries the attribute of flames" Zhang Ruochen looked at the spear that stabbed him and nodded lightly.

With the strength that Feng Zhilin is showing now, he can at least compete with four ordinary Xuanji Realm Great Pole Martial Artists at the same time.

Zhang Ruochen took a step sideways, his body was like a phantom, and he once again dodged a shot from Feng Zhilin's full strength.

Feng Zhilin was quite annoyed and said, "Don't hide if you have the ability, fight with me in a dignified manner." ”

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

Zhang Ruochen held the iron sword in his hand and said lightly: "Show all your skills, let me see if you are qualified to let me use the sword." ”

"Abominable"

A long roar came out of Feng Zhilin's mouth, and wisps of red blood gushed out of his body. The blood qi surged towards the ground, forming a circular blood array with a diameter of five meters on the ground.

The blood qi is like a silk thread, and in the formation, it gathers into a series of lines, emitting a faint blood light, wrapping Fengzhilin in the center.

Blood Vaporization Array.

Only by cultivating to reach the great pole of the Xuan Extreme Realm can we do it.

Moreover, the blood array condensed by Fengzhilin does not seem to be a low-level blood array, but a medium-level blood array.

The higher the level of the blood array, the greater the increase in the strength of the warrior.

"Red Flame Spear"

Feng Zhilin shook the spear horizontally, and the flame covering the surface of the spear became even hotter.

This is a spirit-level low-grade marksmanship martial art, with a total of eight moves, and Feng Zhilin has been completely successfully cultivated.

"Wow"

The spear stabbed out, forming a cloud of fire, and in an instant, it stabbed in front of Zhang Ruochen.

Under the increase of the blood array, the speed at which Feng Zhilin erupted was on par with Zhang Ruochen.

Zhang Ruochen's eyes became serious, and he clenched the iron sword with five fingers, and slashed out horizontally, hitting the tip of the spear, shaking the spear away, and sealing all Feng Zhilin's next moves.

Then, he stepped forward quickly, and a sword stabbed diagonally, stabbing under the armpit of Feng Zhilin's right hand.

Feng Zhilin's face changed, and he immediately turned the spear and slashed at Zhang Ruochen's back with the tail of the spear.

As soon as Zhang Ruochen rushed in front of Feng Zhilin, he felt like he had jumped into a quagmire, and his speed had obviously slowed down a lot. When I looked down, I realized that I had stepped into the blood array, and the speed was suppressed by the power of the blood array.

At this moment, the sound of wind came from Zhang Ruochen's ears, and the tail of the spear hung above his head, and it could fall in an instant. If you are hit by a spear, you will be seriously injured, if not dead.

"Heavenly Sword Bell"

The true qi in Zhang Ruochen's body completely burst out, forming the phantom of a big bell, guarding the heart of the bell in his body.

The tail of the spear slashed at the phantom of the sword bell, forming a powerful hedge inside.

"Boom"

The two of them fell backwards at the same time, once again pulling away ten meters away.

Feng Zhilin stood sideways, sneered, and said, "Young Master Ben can condense a medium blood array, and the power of the blood array can improve my strength, and at the same time, it will also suppress your strength." Zhang Ruochen, you're dead."

The Blood Array is quite similar to the space domain, but it is far less than the space domain.

The reason why the martial artists of the Great Pole Rank of the Xuanji Realm are much stronger than the Martial Artists of the Middle Pole Rank is because the martial artists of the Great Pole Rank can condense the blood array.

Under the suppression of the power of the blood array, few martial artists in the middle pole were able to defeat the martial artists in the great pole position.

"Feng Zhilin actually condensed a medium blood array, it's really amazing, if you can give him a lot of cultivation resources, maybe you can make the West Courtyard have another Xuanbang martial artist." Elder Situ gently twisted his beard and smiled knowingly.

Elder Xie snorted coldly and said no more.

"After the wind knowledge forest condensed turned out to be a medium blood array, the power of the blood array exploded, he was enough to compete with six or seven martial artists of the same realm, His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince, it was difficult," Liu Chengfeng sighed.

"Is the medium blood formation strong?" asked one of the freshmen.

Liu Chengfeng said: "Among the ten martial artists in the Xuanji Realm, only one can condense a medium blood array, do you say that it is strong or not If there are enough meridians opened up in Fengzhilin's body, and the exercises and martial arts he cultivates are advanced enough, after he reaches the Great Perfection of the Xuanji Realm, he even has a chance to become a Xuanbang martial artist." ”

No one dares to say that they will definitely be able to become a Xuanbang martial artist, just look at the probability.

The chances of one percent, although very low, are already very good. At least he has a chance to impact, and other martial artists don't even have a chance.

Everyone was worried about Zhang Ruochen and didn't want Zhang Ruochen to be defeated. Once he is defeated, Liu Chengfeng will definitely not let him live.

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

If Zhang Ruochen used the space realm, he could naturally suppress Feng Zhilin and easily defeat him.

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

Feng Zhilin saw that Zhang Ruochen was fearless, and let out a cold snort from his mouth, and attacked again. This time, he must pierce Zhang Ruochen's heart.

"Whoa"

As Feng Zhilin's marksmanship stabbed out, the air burned and there was a "crackling" popping sound.

Zhang Ruochen didn't dodge, just when the spear stabbed within three meters of him, the flames on the spear reflected his face red.

"Heavenly Heart Full Moon"

The fourth move of Tianxin Sword Technique

Zhang Ruochen's arm waved, and the spear drew a circle in the void, leaving thirty-six white sword shadows. Thirty-six white sword shadows formed a circle, like a white bright moon held in his hand.

"Wow"

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

Feng Zhilin hurriedly changed from attack to defense, and kept waving his spear to smash the sword qi.

However, there were still seven sword qi flying in front of him, four of which hit his body, and the other three sword qi brushed over the surface of his skin, leaving only three shallow blood marks.

"Bang Bang"

Feng Zhilin's clothes were punched out by the sword qi with four holes, and under the holes, pieces of metal scales were exposed. It turned out that he was wearing armor in his clothes, blocking the four sword qi just now.

However, the power of the four sword qi just now was very powerful, and although it was blocked by the armor, it still shook Feng Zhilin's blood and qi, and he suffered some minor injuries.

"Such a powerful sword, if Feng Zhilin didn't wear armor, even if he didn't die just now, he would be seriously injured."

"Zhang Ruochen is only so young, how can his swordsmanship be so clever"

Elder Xie's eyes narrowed, and suddenly, a look of great joy appeared on his face, and he said, "The sword can go to the high-level realm with your heart."

When the other elders heard Elder Xie's words, they also suddenly realized, that's right, the swordsmanship that Zhang Ruochen had just performed had indeed reached the realm of the sword walking at will.

It's shocking

You must know that all of their elders are at the realm of the sword walking at will, and none of them have reached the peak of the sword at will.

Duanmu Xingling was also quite surprised, feeling incredible, and said: "His attainments in swordsmanship are so terrifying, once he breaks through the Great Perfection of the Xuanji Realm, he will definitely become a Xuanbang martial artist, and his ranking on the Xuanbang must not be low." ”

She originally only knew that Zhang Ruochen's attainments in palm techniques were very high, but she didn't expect that Zhang Ruochen's attainments in swordsmanship were even higher.

"With such a high swordsmanship attainment, it seems that Zhang Ruochen has won" There was a faint smile on Duanmu Xingling's face, and he glanced at Huang Yanchen lightly, and said, "Sister Chen, to a genius like Zhang Ruochen, you should be reluctant to kill it."

Huang Yanchen was also slightly moved, at Zhang Ruochen's age, he was able to cultivate to the high-level realm of the sword at will, and his talent was indeed amazing.

"No matter how high the talent is, the character is too bad." Huang Yanchen thought about Duanmu Xingling and stared at it, and said, "You don't want me to accept him, right?"

Duanmu Xingling smiled: "After all, that kind of thing has happened to you, what else can you do if you don't accept him?"

"Hmph, even if I spare him from dying, I won't be able to accept him." Yellow Smoke Road.

"Sister Chen, this is what you said, if in the future, I accidentally fall in love with him and snatch him away, don't blame me" Duanjupiter Ling's big eyes were slightly bent, bent like two crescent moons.

Huang Yanchen stared at Duanmu Xingling carefully, speculating in his heart about the meaning of Duanxing Ling's words just now, and said, "You won't really take a fancy to him, right?"

Duanmu Xingling stood tall on the peak, stared at Zhang Ruochen standing on the platform of life and death, and said with a smile: "He is young, handsome, talented, and a prince, I can't find any shortcomings in him." It's entirely possible that if I accidentally like him."

Huang Yanchen was a little displeased, and said, "Your age is two years older than him."

"There's no way to be sisters" Duanmu Xingling glared at Huang Yanchen with some resentment, and said, "It seems that you are still reluctant to give it to me." ”

Huang Yanchen also stared at Zhang Ruochen, no mood fluctuations could be seen on his beautiful face, and he said meaningfully: "Xing Ling, do you think it is impossible for him to become a sage?"

"The Sage"

Duanmu Xingling's eyes also became serious, and he nodded, "The Sage has gone beyond the realm of martial artists and stepped into another state of life. In the entire thirty-six counties of the Heavenly Demon Mountains, there is not even a single sage. Although his talent is very high, it is almost impossible to become a saint. ”

After a pause, Duanmu Xingling said again: "However, I think that if he can maintain his current cultivation state and continue to the Heavenly Extreme Realm, he still has a chance to become a half-saint." ”

"Is it possible for him to be a half-saint" Huang Yanchen's beautiful eyes had a complicated look, and he always felt that he couldn't see through Zhang Ruochen.

This young man, although his cultivation is not as good as her now, the potential he shows is shocking. Zhang Ruochen hid part of his strength, and did not show the sword intent of the sword to go to the peak with his heart.

Once it is revealed, everyone will probably be even more shocked. Walking the high-level realm with a sword is already enough to defeat Fengzhilin.

"The sword goes to the high-level realm with your heart"

Feng Zhilin's face was very ugly, he never thought that Zhang Ruochen's realm in the way of the sword would reach such a powerful level.

"No, I won't be defeated, I haven't been defeated yet, I'm three martial arts realms higher than him, I will definitely be able to defeat him"

Feng Zhilin clenched his teeth, did not admit defeat, waved his spear, and attacked again.

Zhang Ruochen frowned slightly, and the tip of the sword pulled up an arc-shaped wave of qi.

The form of the air flow was like a wave of water, and countless sword qi shuttled through the air flow, making the sound of the tide surging.

"Celestial Tide"

With a swing of the sword, the sword qi turned into a five-meter-high wave, which slammed on Feng Zhilin's body, rolling Feng Zhilin upside down.

"Ahh

Feng Zhilin screamed, and the spear in his hand fell off his hand and fell to the ground.

"Bang"

The white martial robe on Feng Zhilin's body was shredded by the sword qi and turned into pieces of rags, leaving only a silver-scale armor vest still on his body.

Except for the place covered by the silver-scale armor vest, in other parts of the body, all the sword qi cut out bloody wounds one after another, and the flesh and blood all over the body were blurred.

This is still Zhang Ruochen's mercy, otherwise, the sword just now would be able to cut off Feng Zhilin's limbs and head.

"Fengzhilin, you're defeated"

Zhang Ruochen held the iron sword in his hand, walked over, pointed the tip of the sword at Feng Zhilin's neck, and said: "I said, I won't kill you, I only avenge the fourth brother and break your arms and bones."

"Wait"

Feng Zhilin trembled, got up from the ground, knelt in front of Zhang Ruochen, kowtowed to Zhang Ruochen, and said, "Zhang Ruochen, thank you for your grace of not killing." ”

Looking at Feng Zhilin kneeling in front of him, Zhang Ruochen's face was showing a look of doubt, and suddenly, he felt a dangerous aura.

Not good

At this moment, Feng Zhilin suddenly raised his head, and spit out three silver needles in his mouth in a row.

"Woohoo"

Tongue arrow, the unique skill of the Feng family.

Feng Zhiyi could only use his tongue to shoot out a silver needle, but Feng Zhilin could spit out three in a row.

In the stands in the distance, no one expected Feng Zhilin to suddenly attack.

With such a close distance, let alone Zhang Ruochen, even a martial artist of the Great Perfection of the Xuanji Realm would be hit.

"Ding Ding"

Zhang Ruochen's iron sword swung and slapped on the three silver needles accurately, knocking the three silver needles upside down and flying back.

One of the silver needles was inserted into Feng Zhilin's throat.

The other two silver needles pierced Feng Zhilin's eyes.

"Hmm, Prince Huo Xingwang save me"

Feng Zhilin pulled out the silver needle stuck in his throat, clutched his neck, and rushed towards the stage of life and death. However, his eyes were blind and he couldn't see the road at all, so he accidentally stepped on the air and fell down the 30-meter-high platform of life and death.

In a series of screams, Feng Zhilin fell into the Iron Thorn Forest, his body was pierced out of more than ten blood holes, he struggled twice, and completely lowered his arm, without a sound.

Quiescence.

The entire platform became extremely silent, and only the sound of everyone's breathing and heartbeat could be heard.

Zhang Ruochen sighed softly, originally he just wanted to teach Feng Zhilin some lessons, and he didn't think about killing him. Even if the bones of his arms are broken, as long as the muscles and bones are applied, he can still heal within half a month.

Shaking his head, Zhang Ruochen stepped off the platform of life and death.

Afterwards, all the students of Yunwu Junguo cheered and rushed towards Zhang Ruochen.

"His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince is so powerful, even Feng Zhilin died in your hands, in the future, I want to see who else dares to bully our students of Yunwu County."

A rather beautiful female student stared at Zhang Ruochen with adoring eyes, and said, "Ninth Prince, the sword you defeated Feng Zhilin is really amazing, can I learn the sword from you?"

Liu Chengfeng saw that Zhang Ruochen seemed to be in a bad mood, guessed the reason, and said with a smile: "Your Royal Highness the Ninth Prince, Feng Zhilin is to blame and died well, you don't need to take it to heart, it was he who fell off the stage of life and death and fell to his death, and it has nothing to do with you at all." ”

Zhang Ruochen nodded lightly and said lightly: "Since Feng Zhilin is dead, then this matter is over, and everyone is dispersed."

The students of Yunwu Junguo were very excited, but Prince Huo Xing's face was extremely cold, staring at Zhang Ruochen's departing back, "Waste, Fengzhilin is a waste, and he can't even kill a Zhang Ruochen."

A student from the Quartet County next to him said: "What should I do now, do you just let Zhang Ruochen go?"

"How is it possible to let him go"

Prince Huo Xing clenched his hands tightly and said coldly: "I'll repair a letter to my father now, let him spend a high price, ask the killer of the Difu Gate, and be sure to get rid of Zhang Ruochen." If Zhang Ruochen does not die, he will become the great enemy of the Quartet in the future. ”

After the decisive battle of the life and death platform, Zhang Ruochen returned to the Dragon Martial Hall and began to continue practicing swordsmanship.

On the third day, he was finally summoned by the master of the Western Courtyard.

The owner of the West Courtyard, dressed in a golden robe, sat on a white stone by the pool, holding a fishing rod in his hand, and was fishing.

"Meet the Master"

Zhang Ruochen came behind the master of the West Courtyard and bowed slightly.

"Zhang Ruochen, do you know why the old man summoned you a month after the exam in the Academy Palace" The master of the West Courtyard was still holding the fishing rod, staring at the pool surface, and did not turn to look at Zhang Ruochen.

Zhang Ruochen said: "Students don't know. ”

During the examination in the school palace, Zhang Ruochen saw the master of the West Courtyard once, but that time it was too far away, and he just glanced at it casually.

At this moment, Zhang Ruochen began to seriously look at this courtyard master, the only supreme powerhouse in the West Courtyard who could wear a golden robe.

He looked to be seventy or eighty years old, with a full head of gray hair, but there was not a single wrinkle on his hands or side of his face, and there was not a trace of old age.

"I don't know what kind of situation this master of the Western Academy has reached," Zhang Ruochen couldn't see through the cultivation of the master of the West Academy at all.

The master of the West Courtyard put down the fishing rod, stood up, turned to look at Zhang Ruochen, and said, "Do you know that the first freshman of each class will be accepted as a personal disciple by the deputy academy master. Of course, if it is a freshman with excellent talents, the old man will also personally accept the apprentices. ”

"Your performance in the Martial Tower is quite outstanding, and at that time, the old man had already moved the idea of accepting apprentices. The old man refers to the outstanding, not that you have passed the second level of the third layer of the Martial Tower, but that you have passed the third level of the third layer of the Martial Pagoda and you have defeated Luo Xu in the same realm. ”

Zhang Ruochen was slightly startled and said, "The courtyard master knows what is going on in the Wu Tower."

"Haha"

The master of the Western Courtyard laughed out loud and said, "Do you really think that in such an important place as the Wu Tower, only Huang Yatou and Duanmu Yatou are guarding some secrets inside, even the two of them don't know." ”

Then, the face of the master of the West Courtyard turned grim and said, "However, the old man does not object to the actions of the two of them. Even, if they didn't stop you at that time, the old man would personally stop you from ascending to the fourth floor of the Wu Tower. ”

Zhang Ruochen said: "The master of the courtyard is worried that my talent is too high and I will be assassinated by some people."

The master of the Western Courtyard nodded, and said, "The Martial City Academy Palace is not absolutely safe, over the years, the Black Market and the Moon Worship Demon Sect have continued to infiltrate the Academy, not only among the students, but also among some of the high-level members of the Academy. ”

"If you broke into the fourth layer of the Martial Tower at that time, the forces of the black market would definitely spare no effort to kill you in the cradle, and it would be difficult for even the old man to shelter you."

Zhang Ruochen said: "The owner of the hospital refers to the seedling cutting operation"

The master of the West Courtyard sighed lightly and said, "You know the seedling cutting operation."

You must know that the black market and Wushi Qianzhuang have been antagonistic since ancient times, fighting each other, fighting each other, expanding their territory, and competing for market resources.

Wushi School Palace is the base camp for Wushi Qianzhuang to cultivate talents, in order to defeat Wushi Qianzhuang from the source, therefore, the black market launched the "seedling cutting operation", specifically assassinating the elite geniuses in the Wushi School Palace.

Eight hundred years ago, the black market launched an operation to cut seedlings, and of course Zhang Ruochen knew.

Zhang Ruochen had no way to explain to the master of the Western Courtyard, so he could only push it onto the King of Yunwu County and said, "Before I came to take the exam in the Academy, I heard my father mention it once. Actually, I don't know much about the seedling cutting operation. ”

"It turns out that the King of Yunwu County has already reminded you, so you don't need to say more about it."

In the eyes of the master of the Western Courtyard, it was not a secret that the King of Yunwu County would learn about the seedling cutting operation, after all, the seedling killing operation had lasted for thousands of years, and it was not a secret.

Zhang Ruochen's expression moved, and he said: "The reason why the courtyard master postponed summoning the students for a month is that he wants to use the students as bait to find out the evil people who infiltrated the black market and the Moon Worship Demon Sect into the Western Courtyard."

"That's right" The head of the West Courtyard smiled: "You won't hold a grudge against the old man, right?"

Zhang Ruochen said with a smile: "Since the master of the academy has told the students about this in person, how can the students hate the master of the academy, I want to know if the master has found out the evil person lurking in the west courtyard."

"Some clues have been found, but we are still waiting for the big fish to enter the net, and I believe that the net will be closed soon." The main road of the West Courtyard.

Subsequently, the master of the West Courtyard said: "Zhang Ruochen, are you willing to worship the old man's monk and become the old man's personal disciple."

There is a big difference between a student and a disciple.

A single teacher can teach many students, but there are very few disciples who have been passed on to them.

Once he becomes the personal disciple of the master of the Western Courtyard, it is equivalent to having one more backer, then Zhang Ruochen's status in the Western Courtyard will immediately rise, and in the future, no one will dare to trouble him. Even in the inner palace of the Wushi Academy, Zhang Ruochen's status is still higher than that of other inner palace students.

However, Zhang Ruochen didn't want to worship the master of the West Courtyard as a teacher, because he had too many secrets on his body and didn't want outsiders to know. If the master of the Western Academy were to be his teacher, some of these secrets would definitely be exposed.

Zhang Ruochen respectfully saluted to the master of the West Courtyard and said, "Thank you for the love, but the student wants to cultivate his own martial arts, and he has no intention of apprenticeship for the time being." ”

Surprisingly, the master of the West Courtyard did not get angry, but showed a smile and said: "Hehe, the old man has been the master of the West Courtyard for thirty-four years, and he has taken the initiative to accept apprentices a total of eleven times, and you are the second person to refuse the old man." ”

Note: As mentioned earlier, the history of the Western Courtyard is only 460 years, and it refers to the Western Courtyard of the Wushi Academy in the Heavenly Demon Mountains. The distribution of Wushi Xue Palace covers the entire Kunlun realm, and its history is far more than four hundred and sixty years.
