Chapter 2007 A Sudden Turn of Events

(This chapter has 4,400 words, so it’s considered two chapters published together!)

…

A terrifying flame flew out from Shang Zi's fingertips and turned into a fire dragon, roaring and rushing towards Zhang Ruochen.

But when he saw the fire dragon coming, Zhang Ruochen did not dodge, as if he was unable to move because of his serious injuries.

"It's a pity that Zhang Ruochen withstood the terrifying blow just now, but he still inevitably died."

Many monks watching the battle couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh.

Just when many people thought that Zhang Ruochen would definitely die and be torn into pieces by the fire dragon, Zhang Ruochen finally made a move.

Zhang Ruochen was seen pointing like a sword, with a sharp sword light emerging from his fingertips.

"call out."

An extremely sharp sword light shot out from Zhang Ruochen's fingertips.

"Wow."

The fire dragon, which opened its teeth and claws, was cut in half by the sword light in an instant, and then its body shattered into pieces and turned into little flames, which were extinguished.

A look of surprise suddenly appeared in Shang Zi's eyes, and he stared at Zhang Ruochen.

The finger he used just now seems very casual, but in fact it is an intermediate-level holy technique, which is extremely powerful. Logically speaking, Zhang Ruochen's current state is absolutely impossible to resist it.

"Zhang Ruochen actually still has the strength to fight back."

Many powerful people watching the battle also showed shocked expressions at this moment.

After staring at Zhang Ruochen for a moment, Shang Zi said solemnly: "You... actually broke through to the Dao realm."

Shang Zi really didn't expect that in such a dangerous situation just now, Zhang Ruochen not only resisted his attack and saved his life, but also miraculously made a breakthrough in his cultivation quietly.

"You can break through, why can't I?" Zhang Ruochen said calmly.

Even though he was seriously injured now, he still showed no signs of cowardice.

Being able to break through the cultivation level so quickly is naturally thanks to the Holy Pill of Heaven given by Gu Songzi. Having seen Shang Zi condense out of the Dao Domain before, Zhang Ruochen immediately swallowed the Tongtian Holy Pill without leaving any trace.

He has already reached the pinnacle of the Rule of Heaven and Earth, and is only a little short of being able to condense the Dao Domain.

After taking the Tongtian Holy Pill, he was finally able to break through the mystery of the Tao Realm.

Just now, he suffered a powerful blow from Shang Zi, and the situation was extremely critical. Not only the Tongtian Holy Pill, but also the medicinal power of the Seven-Star Divine Ling "Sun" Leaf burst out in large quantities in an instant.

Zhang Ruochen finally succeeded in condensing the Tao realm, and his cultivation reached a whole new level.

Fortunately, he had successfully gathered the Dao Domain just now and withstood some of the attacks, otherwise, he would have been injured more seriously now.

Zhang Ruochen originally wanted to hide his cultivation first and delay for some time to heal the injury, but he never thought that Shang Zi's eyes were very poisonous and he could see through his true and false in one fell swoop.

As a result, he could no longer hide it.

Shang Zi exuded a terrifying murderous intent and said, "Even if you break through in cultivation, you still can't change anything."

Immediately, Shangzi took action again and knocked out the Wanlian Tower.

He wanted to take advantage of Zhang Ruochen's serious injury and use the power of thunder to kill Zhang Ruochen without giving him any chance to make a comeback.

"Then you underestimate me too much."

Zhang Ruochen responded coldly.

As he spoke, Zhang Ruochen injected a large amount of holy energy into the Hidden Mountain Magic Mirror hanging above his head, stimulating powerful supreme power.

The previous use of Yanshen Leg indeed consumed most of the holy energy in his body, but due to his breakthrough in cultivation, the speed of restoring the holy energy was accelerated.

Moreover, the moment he broke through his cultivation level, he swallowed several holy pills, including those for healing and those for consolidating his cultivation and restoring his holy energy.

In the battle at Sword Tomb and the battle at Xianji Mountain, he killed many powerful men and obtained many treasures, including many kinds of holy pills, which were just in use now.

Coupled with the divine yang formed by the seven-star divine Lingri leaves in the sea of ​​divine light, it continuously releases a large amount of essence, and at the same time has the effect of healing and restoring holy energy.

Therefore, in a very short period of time, Zhang Ruochen's injuries have recovered a lot, and his holy energy has become much more abundant.

"boom."

The two supreme powers collided violently, almost tearing apart the stable space.

Shangzi did not stop, and continuously activated the Wanlian Tower, while launching attacks with the Chizi Sword.

More importantly, there are extremely yin and yang forces that emerge from Shangzi's body, collide with each other, and produce all kinds of strange changes.

There is no doubt that Shang Zi intends to use the terrible method again to give Zhang Ruochen a fatal blow.

The previous blow had severely injured Zhang Ruochen, and another blow would definitely kill Zhang Ruochen.

"Zhang Ruochen is really tenacious. In that situation, not only did he survive, but he was also able to break through in cultivation. Maybe there will be a turn for the better in this battle." Thousand Stars Heavenly Girl said in surprise.

Somehow, seeing Zhang Ruochen still alive, Qian Xing Tian Nu felt inexplicably relaxed.

Turning her eyes, Qianxing Tiannu looked at where Qingxiao and Bu Qianfan were. At this moment, the situation of the two of them was quite bad.

The reason is that Fan Ji confuses them with illusions, making them unable to distinguish between reality and illusion, and they appear extremely passive.

"Fantasy Ji, I let you escape last time, but this time I just got rid of you. Let me see if you have made any progress." Qianxing Tiannu whispered.

Using a magical technique, Qianxing Tiannv completely changed her body and appearance, turning into a handsome young man, obviously not wanting to be recognized.

Originally she didn't want to get involved, but now she couldn't help it.

Simply, she stopped suppressing the thoughts in her heart and did whatever she wanted. This could be regarded as a way to sharpen her mind.

Zhang Ruochen said that her state of mind was defective and that she could not persevere, so she asked Zhang Ruochen to see her transformation.

Without any further hesitation, the Qianxing Tiannu transformed into a stream of light and went straight to Fan Ji.

As both a Holy Master of Illusion, she was very interested in fighting Fan Ji again.

On the other side, huge ferocious beasts and flame emperors quickly condensed behind Shang Zi.

Compared to the previous time, the aura emitted by the ferocious beasts and flame emperors condensed this time was undoubtedly more terrifying.

The ferocious beast and the Flame Emperor opened their mouths at the same time, releasing two completely different extreme powers, entangled with each other, and bombarded Zhang Ruochen like cannonballs.

Zhang Ruochen immediately made a fist seal, and a celestial river appeared, wrapping around his body, flowing slowly without knowing the end.

"boom."

The entangled extreme force hit Tianhe. Although Tianhe shook violently, it did not tear Tianhe apart, and naturally it could not touch Zhang Ruochen's body.

Seeing this, Shang Zi's eyes couldn't help but become more gloomy, and the ferocious beasts and the Flame Emperor behind him once again released the power of extreme destruction.

The Tianhe surrounding Zhang Ruochen suddenly turned into a giant dragon, opening its mouth to swallow all the terrifying power that came from the bombardment.

"Bang."

The giant dragon exploded into pieces, splashing a large amount of water towards the hot magma lake.

The temperature of the magma lake is so terrifying that as soon as the water drops fall, they are all evaporated and turned into thick mist.

Zhang Ruochen looked extremely calm and used the Luoshui Boxing Technique to protect himself, then silently operated the technique to heal his injuries and restore his holy energy.

The longer the delay is, the more beneficial it will be to him.

Just trying to withstand Shangzi's attack is not an easy task. The combination of two high-level holy arts, plus the supreme holy artifact and the sacred ancient artifact, will lead to big trouble if you are slightly careless.

"boom."

The Chizi Sword released terrifying divine power and split the Tianhe River with one sword.

"It's over!"

A cruel look appeared in Shangzi's eyes.

The power of the ferocious beast and the Flame Emperor were concentrated to the extreme, and then rushed out at the same time. The power of ice and fire merged with each other in the collision, erupting with unimaginable terrifying power.

Feeling this terrifying energy, the strong men on both sides who were fighting couldn't help but give up and instead tried their best to defend.

With previous experience, no one dares to be careless at this moment.

Zhang Ruochen's eyes were sharp, Shen Yuan's ancient sword was in his hand, all 750,000 sword rules were mobilized, and a large number of rules of heaven and earth were gathered.

The purple sacred stone inlaid on the hilt of the sword exudes a rich purple brilliance, and a surging secret power emerges and is poured into the sword body.

"break."

Zhang Ruochen let out a low roar, and Shen Yuan's ancient sword slashed down suddenly.

A red sword light glowing with purple light flew out and collided with the two high-level holy arts played by Shang Zi.

With this sword, Zhang Ruochen used all his strength to unleash the power of the Vulcan Armor and the Purple God Stone.

"Boom."

The red sword light glowing with purple light was indestructible and unstoppable. It directly cut through the two high-level holy arts played by Shang Zi, as if the world was created.

Although the two high-level holy arts were broken, the terrifying power they contained still exploded wantonly, and Zhang Ruochen was undoubtedly the first to bear the brunt.

At this moment, the purple divine stone released thick purple energy, forming a powerful barrier that enveloped Zhang Ruochen.

"Bang."

Squeezed by the terrifying force, the magma lake below suddenly erupted.

Thick magma pillars rose into the sky.

At the same time, a red sword glow with purple light pierced the sky and went straight towards Shangzi.

"What?"

Shangzi's expression changed, and he even activated the Wanlian Tower to resist.

"boom."

The Wanlian Pagoda was knocked backwards by the sword light and hit Shangzi's body, causing Shangzi to be knocked away.

A fierce force penetrated the Wanlian Tower, also penetrated the three-color treasure armor worn by Shangzi, and acted on Shangzi's body.

"puff."

Shang Zi immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, and at the same time a large amount of blood flowed out of the three-color armor.

The three-color treasure armor was intact, but there was a hideous wound on Shang Zi's chest, which was so deep that the bones could be seen, and it almost cut Shang Zi in half.

It is conceivable that without the resistance of the three-color treasure armor, Shang Zi would have been injured more seriously at this moment.

On the other side, the destructive power collapsed, and Zhang Ruochen reappeared.

Although there was blood on the corner of Zhang Ruochen's mouth, his condition was obviously better than Shang Zi's.

"How is that possible? Zhang Ruochen seriously injured Shang Zi with one sword strike."

"Zhang Ruochen was clearly seriously injured just now, how could he recover so quickly?"

"If Zhang Ruochen has really recovered from his injuries, it will be Shang Zi's turn to be in trouble. I never expected that Zhang Ruochen could still come back under such circumstances. Is he really the undefeated God of War?"

"Not necessarily. Maybe Zhang Ruochen is at the end of his game and is just trying to hold on. His opponent is Shangzi. How can he come back so easily?"

"There is no need to argue. Looking at the current situation, the two of them should be able to decide the winner very quickly. We will just watch quietly."

…………

Many monks watching the battle were shocked. This battlefield was really full of twists and turns. No one could accurately predict who would have the last laugh.

"How could this happen? Zhang Ruochen was obviously seriously injured. Even if he had already achieved a breakthrough in cultivation, his strength should be greatly reduced. But how could he still be so strong?" Sihan's eyes widened, feeling very unbelievable.

Recalling that in the Eastern Region, Zhang Ruochen was far from his opponent in a head-to-head confrontation, but now he was far superior to him, and he could be suppressed with just a flip of his hand.

Such a huge gap is undoubtedly difficult for him to accept.

King Daxi's eyes also became very complicated. The more powerful Zhang Ruochen became, the more difficult it would be for her to get back the treasure that was taken away.

There was a big reason why she had not taken action, and that was because she was afraid of Zhang Ruochen, fearing that Zhang Ruochen would suddenly activate the flame flying insects dormant in her body.

Therefore, King Daxi could only hope that Shangzi would suppress or even kill Zhang Ruochen, so that she would not only be able to retrieve the treasure, but also eliminate hidden dangers.

But looking at the current situation, it's really hard to say.

Zhang Ruochen held Shen Yuan's ancient sword and looked at Shangzi with cold eyes, saying: "Shangzi, you are right, it is indeed time to end. If you have no other means, then just suffer death."

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Ruochen also raised his sword and charged out.

After being beaten passively for a long time, it was his turn to take the initiative to attack.

It seems that because Zhang Ruochen condensed the Dao Domain, the power of the purple divine stone was further released, becoming more powerful and having some more magical uses.

"Zhang Ruochen, don't be too self-righteous. This time, you can only die." A look of madness appeared in Shang Zi's eyes.

Yuan Zhi, who was practicing the Way of Flowing Light, walked out of Shang Zi's body and flew to the Five-Colored Merit Monument. He activated the Five-Colored Merit Monument and released the five-color Merit Divine Light, which bombarded Zhang Ruochen.

Zhang Ruochen did not stop, the Hidden Mountain Magic Mirror became very huge, hundreds of thousands of supreme inscriptions appeared on the mirror surface, and strange magic light flowed, blocking the colorful divine light of merit.

The next moment, the five-colored divine light of merit was rebounded and turned to bombard Shang Zi's Yuan Zhi.

The power of the five-color merit light that bounced back was significantly increased, and its speed became faster.

"boom."

Before Shang Zi's Yuan Zhi could react, he was hit by the five-colored divine light of merit and soared straight into the sky.

Suffering this blow, Shang Zi's corpse immediately spurted blood from the mouth, and his body almost exploded. He was extremely injured.

But Shang Zi didn't care so much at the moment. The Flame Corpse and the Cold Corpse combined together to exert all their strength on the two high-level holy arts.

At the same time, Shang Zi was also activating the Chizi Sword and the Wanlian Pagoda with all his strength. He also took off the three red feathers on his crown, injected them with majestic holy energy, and turned them into three hundred-foot-long flaming monster birds.

The auras emitted by the three-headed flaming monster birds are very powerful, not weaker than the Nine-Step Holy King.

"You can't stop it."

Zhang Ruochen snorted coldly.

"Wow."

Shen Yuan's ancient sword swung, and a red sword glow glowing with purple light shot out.

"Bang."

The three-headed flaming monster bird exploded immediately and turned into three red feathers again, and then the red feathers burned blazingly.

The three red feathers were originally fire-attribute treasures, but now they could not withstand the burning of the divine fire released by the Vulcan Armor. In the blink of an eye, the three red feathers turned into ashes.

"boom."

Shen Yuan's ancient sword collided with the Ten Thousand Refining Tower, and the Ten Thousand Refining Tower flew away.

In terms of grade, Shen Yuan's Ancient Sword is indeed far inferior to Wanlian Pagoda, but Shen Yuan's Ancient Sword is made of the Divine Iron of Creation and is not afraid of colliding with any supreme holy weapon.

"clang."

Immediately afterwards, Shen Yuan's ancient sword and the Pure Sword connected, and both of them burst out with extremely blazing flames. The purple secret power and the evil divine power clashed, causing violent ripples in the space.

A terrifying secret power was transmitted from Shen Yuan's ancient sword, which made Shang Zi's face change drastically, and the Chizi Sword actually slipped away.
