The Eternal God Emperor Begins from the First Realm Breakthrough

Chapter 56: Elder Camel

Less than fifty miles away from Lingyue Town, there is a lake called Wuyin Lake. The Dihuo City, which is quite famous in the black market of Yunwu Commandery, is hidden in Wuyin Lake.

The entire Dihuo City is built on an island in the middle of the lake, surrounded by cliffs on all sides, and there is only one road leading to the city.

The Red Spider warship, dozens of feet long, stopped at the shore. A large number of young men and women got off the ship, all bound in shackles. They were slaves transported by the Poison Spider Chamber of Commerce to the Earth Fire City for sale.

Chen Ping and Zhang Ruochen stood on the black tiger's back, hiding in the dark, quietly watching the movements of the Red Spider warship.

After waiting for a long time, Zhang Ruochen still didn't see Huang Yanchen, and he couldn't help but feel a little upset.

"Senior, isn't the Black Tiger Hall the most powerful force in Earth Fire City? Why are we still hiding?"

Chen Ping glanced at Zhang Ruochen. This guy seemed to know that he was still useful for the time being and his life was not in danger. He even spoke louder.

"Kid, keep your voice down. If the people from the Poison Spider Chamber of Commerce find you, I won't help you. Hua Qingshan, the young master of the Poison Spider Chamber of Commerce, is enough to make you suffer. Not to mention that Hua Minggong is still on the boat."

Zhang Ruochen's face turned serious when he heard these two names. Hua Qingshan, the young master of the Poison Spider Chamber of Commerce, was one of the seven young masters of the Tianmo Ridge black market. Although he was only at the Great Extreme of the Earth Realm, his strength was close to that of the Earth List warriors. He was not someone he could match at the moment. As for Hua Minggong, he was even more formidable. He was the general manager of the Poison Spider Chamber of Commerce in Yunwu Commandery and a martial arts legend of the Heaven Extreme Realm.

"Let's go, stop looking."

"Where?"

"Of course, we're going to snatch Princess Yanchen." Chen Ping said with a smile, "Whether you can snatch her from the Poison Spider Chamber of Commerce depends on your performance."

Zhang Ruochen met that green gaze, and a chill ran down his spine.

……

In the branch of the Poison Spider Chamber of Commerce in Dihuo City, Huang Yanchen was imprisoned in an attic. The attic was surrounded by formations that would trigger lightning if touched.

Hua Qingshan is of medium build, with a fair complexion and a feminine scholarly air about him, but in reality he is one of the seven young masters of the black market, a sex-hungry ghost and a man of many evil deeds.

Upon hearing that Princess Huang Yanchen, who came from a superior county, had fallen into the hands of the Poison Spider Chamber of Commerce, Hua Qingshan could no longer suppress his desire. Even though Hua Minggong repeatedly warned him, he still did not listen.

He walked into the courtyard and stopped at the entrance of the attic. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly and he said jokingly, "Still want to hide? Come out."

Not far away, the black tiger, carrying Zhang Ruochen and Chen Ping, was dozing on the ground.

Zhang Ruochen was a little surprised when he heard this, "Is there anyone else?"

The old hunchback beside him has mysterious methods. He doesn't think that Hua Qingshan alone can see through their disguise. There is only one explanation: there is someone else hiding in the courtyard.

As expected, as Hua Qingshan's voice fell, two figures flew out from the shadows. They were both wearing the martial arts robes of students from the inner courtyard of the Wushi Academy, and their cultivation had reached the Earthly Extreme Realm.

These two students revealed their identities as soon as they showed up. One was called Zuo Sheng, and his cultivation had reached the Lesser Extreme Level of the Earth Realm. The other was called Chang Qiqi, and his cultivation had reached the Middle Extreme Level of the Earth Realm.

Both of them were considered geniuses at the Martial Arts Academy, and could handle ordinary Earth Realm Great Perfection warriors. However, Hua Qingshan was far stronger than a Earth Realm Great Perfection warrior. With a single move, he severed Zuo Sheng's head, and with another, he was about to severely injure Chang Qiqi. Zhang Ruochen was initially apprehensive of Hua Qingshan's strength, secretly thinking he might already be capable of fighting a Heaven Realm Early Stage warrior, when a sudden surge of force erupted from his rear, sending him flying towards Hua Qingshan.

"As a fellow student of Wushi Academy, how can I stand by and watch someone die?" Chen Ping smiled and retracted his foot.

Zhang Ruochen was already cursing in his heart, but his body's reaction was not slow at all. He immediately drew out the Shenyuan Sword and rushed towards Hua Qingshan.

"Another one!"

Hua Qingshan looked at the masked youth flying towards him in surprise. After he revealed his identity, this student from the Wushi Academy still dared to attack him. He must be quite powerful. Not wanting to be careless, he immediately turned the palm that was about to hit Chang Qiqi around and attacked Zhang Ruochen.

Zhang Ruochen secretly groaned at the powerful palm wind coming towards him. His cultivation was only at the early stage of the Earth Realm. No matter how talented he was, he could not be a match for Hua Qingshan. He did not dare to take the palm blow head-on.

He immediately used the strongest defensive sword move in Tianxin Sword Technique, 'Tianxin Sword Bell', and combined with Jianxin Tongming's sword attainments, he actually removed 90% of the force of Hua Qingshan's palm and landed steadily in the courtyard.

Chang Qiqi, who was standing by, was astonished when he saw this scene. Zuo Sheng, who was only slightly weaker than him, was killed instantly by Hua Qingshan's attack, but Zhang Ruochen took it without a scratch.

Chen Ping nodded slightly when he saw this. Zhang Ruochen had been trained by him for two lifetimes. Although his cultivation level had not improved much from the original trajectory, his understanding of swordsmanship had reached a completely different level. Over the past year, he had obviously not neglected his basic sword skills training and had truly turned the sword into his instinct. When fighting, he could perform the most appropriate sword moves against the enemy in the shortest time.

Huang Yanchen in the attic heard the noise and rushed to the window immediately. When he saw this scene, he recognized the identity of the person at a glance through the Tianxin Sword Technique.

"He actually risked his own life to save me. It turns out he still has me, his fiancée, in his heart."

Huang Yanchen felt a little warm in his heart, but then he became nervous. Hua Qingshan was so powerful, and the Poison Spider Chamber of Commerce was full of masters. How could Zhang Ruochen, with his level of cultivation, be their opponent?

Chang Qiqi, who had wanted to escape, stayed temporarily when she saw the helper coming. She walked to Zhang Ruochen's side with a terrifying long sword in her hand and faced Hua Qingshan together with him.

"Who are you? How could you take my Meridian-Severing and Heart-Breaking Palm? Are you a secret disciple from the inner courtyard of Wu City Academy?" Hua Qingshan was a little surprised. There should be no more than three talented students in the inner courtyard of Wu City Academy who could take his palm strike without any injury. How could another one appear out of nowhere?

Zhang Ruochen was reluctant to reveal his identity. After a moment's thought, he said, "I'm the Iron Hunchback Senior from the Black Tiger Hall who's sent here to fetch Princess Yanchen. Dihuo City is the Black Tiger Hall's territory. As the saying goes, a powerful dragon can't overpower a local snake. Young Master Poison Spider, please don't be ungrateful and hand Princess Yanchen over to me."

"Haha, boy, do you think I'm a fool? You're wearing the martial arts robes of the Martial Arts Academy and telling me you're from the Black Tiger Hall. How dare you make fun of me? I think you're courting death."

Hua Qingshan arrived in the blink of an eye, waving a scimitar in his hand. There were traces of blood on the blade. Zuo Sheng had died from this knife before.

At this point, Zhang Ruochen could no longer avoid it. He gathered his internal energy, brandished the Shenyuan Sword, and used the Tianxin Sword Technique to fight.

"I didn't say I was from the Black Tiger Hall. Senior Tuo is very advanced. If we anger him, the Poison Spider Chamber of Commerce will be in trouble." Zhang Ruochen fought and talked, and Chen Ping's face turned black when he heard it.

What the hell is this old man?
This kid was taking the opportunity to scold him.

However, this kid's talent in swordsmanship is indeed extraordinary. After two lifetimes of accumulation, his comprehension of sword has already touched a hint of the artistic conception of Tao. If he goes one step further, he will probably achieve the unity of man and nature.

There are three realms in swordsmanship: sword follows the heart, sword heart is clear, and heaven and man are one. Zhang Ruochen is only at the Earth Realm now, but he has already reached the peak realm of sword heart clarity, and is not far from the realm of heaven and man are one. You know, even a semi-saint may not have reached the realm of heaven and man are one. Such talent makes Chen Ping a little jealous. Thinking back to the past... Never mind, let's not talk about it!
