Chapter 97 Ruthless Man's Secret Technique

Yao Xi and Ji Biyue quickly arrived at Zhang Taichu's side. After sensing that Zhang Taichu's strength had actually reached the Ninth Transformation of Dragon, they both showed shocked expressions, followed by relief.

Originally, after receiving the telepathic message, the two of them only wanted to use Zhang Taichu's power to temporarily hold off the pursuers and buy time for reinforcements to arrive, but now it seems that there is a possibility of a counterattack.

"Brother Zhang, it's wonderful to have met you! The three of us joined forces and killed this public enemy of the Ruthless Clan!"

Ji Biyue flew barefoot to Zhang Taichu's side and quickly and concisely explained the ins and outs of the matter.

Only then did Zhang Taichu realize that the Ruthless Clan's plot to devour the geniuses of the Eastern Wilderness had failed.

Zhang Taichu didn't have a deep impression of this conspiracy because in the original story, Ye Fan, after being reminded by An Miaoyi and being cautious himself, did not fall for it and get involved.

Therefore, the original work only mentions it briefly. Basically, the Ruthless lineage spread the news that they had discovered the tomb of the Ruthless Emperor, which attracted all the geniuses of the Eastern Wilderness to dig up the grave in order to find the Ruthless lineage and the lid of the Devouring Demon Jar.

The general process is similar to that of Licheng's search for the Nine Secrets, except that after these geniuses entered, they encountered the Great Emperor's array patterns.

Once this grand formation is activated, all the prodigies will be trapped, their very essence will be absorbed, and they will all be trapped and killed.

In the end, Yan Yuru handed the Azure Emperor's Weapon to the Peacock King, and then with a full-force attack, she broke through the Imperial Formation and rescued everyone.

This is why the Great Emperor's array patterns are incomplete; otherwise, relying solely on the Peacock King and the Azure Emperor's weapons, they might not have been able to break through.

However, even after being saved, a significant portion of the essence of the various geniuses from the Eastern Wilderness was still absorbed, including their divine bodies, innate Dao embryos, and so on.

In other words, the Ruthless lineage has gained a lot, which means that the Holy Son of Yaoguang is about to make a great leap forward in strength!

As for why Yao Xi fled with Ji Biyue, it was because the Ruthless Clan did not want to give up, so when everyone was weak and fleeing, they sent out pursuers to catch them all in one fell swoop.

After hearing the whole story, Zhang Taichu suddenly felt that the changes in the plot might actually have something to do with him.

"Could it be that my and Ye Fan's rapid rise has put pressure on the Holy Son of Yao Guang, causing him to become so aggressive?"

Just as he was about to ask the two women if they had any news about Ye Fan, the ruthless expert on the other side attacked.

The pitch-black hand grew to be as large as a mountain and pressed down on the heads of the three people.

At the same time, the flames in the fire domain below suddenly rose into the air, working in conjunction with the palm to form a cage, trapping the three people inside, making it impossible for them to escape or dodge.

Yao Xi and Ji Biyue's expressions changed drastically, while Zhang Taichu smiled coldly and directly raised his hand to throw a punch at the sky-covering hand above his head.

The fist-shaped shadow flew out of his hand, containing black flames within it. It was the fourth level of the Immortal Fire Technique, corresponding to the black flames of the fourth level of the Fire Domain.

"Boom!"

The two immense forces collided, and the colossal palm that blotted out the sky paused for a moment before being stopped.

Immediately afterwards, the black fire suddenly exploded, blasting a hole tens of meters wide in the palm of the giant hand. The remaining flames burned even faster, threatening to incinerate the entire giant hand.

At this moment, the flames below had already spread upwards, and Yao Xi and Ji Biyue used their protective divine light to defend themselves.

They had lost part of their essence to the Ruthless Great Emperor's magic array, and were now very weak. In addition, they had been fleeing all the way and had used their trump cards one after another, so they were both injured and exhausted.

Therefore, the protective divine light emitted now is very weak and cannot block the flames of the fire domain at all.

Just when the two women thought they were about to be burned, a small crimson gourd flew out of Zhang Taichu's hand. The gourd then quickly grew to five meters tall, with a terrifying suction force emanating from its mouth, large enough for a living person to pass through.

Under the influence of this suction force, all the flying flames were swept away and sucked into the sea, rendering them completely incapable of harming anyone.

"A fire-attribute storage artifact? Wait, what's this material?!"

Ji Biyue, with her sharp eyes, instantly determined that the gourd was made of Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold.

Yao Xi was a little slow to realize it, but she noticed it after Ji Biyue reminded her.

The two women exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes.

"This guy found immortal gold again? It seems he's very close to reaching the level of a Source Master. His treasure-hunting ability is truly enviable."

As the chosen ones of an immortal power, they enjoy top-notch training and possess abundant cultivation resources.

Even so, none of the magical artifacts on his body were made of immortal gold, and he only had a few of the Nine Heavens Profound Jade series. The magical artifacts he used could not be made entirely of divine jade!

In other words, if they were to cultivate all the way to the Saint Realm, their magical artifacts would not qualify as Saint Weapons because the materials used would be of low quality!

After a solid, unpretentious strike, a hint of excitement appeared in Zhang Taichu's eyes.

"Fifth level of the Immortal Realm, that's quite impressive, but is this all the power you've got?"

Zhang Taichu let out a contemptuous laugh, and at the same time, he finally tested his current level.

"With the Five Forbidden Techniques, having forcibly upgraded to the Nine Transformations of Dragon Transformation, I now possess the strength of the Five Forbidden Techniques, which is not bad."

"This is still because the power boost from the Source Technique is largely inflated. If I were to reach the Nine Transformations of Dragon Transformation in my true strength, I should be able to improve by one or two more restrictions, meaning that reaching the Seventh Restriction would be no problem at all."

While Zhang Taichu was secretly pleased with himself, the ruthless expert on the other side was already furious.

"Youngster, do you really think you can defy the heavens and defeat me? Let me show you the true supreme secret technique!"

A transcendent power erupted from the ruthless expert, and in an instant, he seemed to transform into an immortal, otherworldly and beyond the mortal realm.

Zhang Taichu's expression changed slightly, and the Phoenix Flame spread all over his body, only to be hit squarely.

The protective divine light was instantly shattered, and Zhang Taichu's entire body was thrown backward at high speed as if it had been cut into a thousand pieces, flying several kilometers before coming to a stop.

The moment it stopped, dozens of cracks appeared on its body, like a piece of shattered porcelain.

"The Flying Immortal Technique?! The supreme secret technique used by the Ruthless Great Emperor to deal with the Nine Secrets!"

An imperial rune flashed on Zhang Taichu's forehead, and then all his injuries were rapidly healed under the effect of the Phoenix Fire. He was completely healed in just three breaths, without leaving a single scar.

The ruthless expert was taken aback, and then used the Flying Immortal Technique once again. Not only that, he also used another secret technique with his other hand.

Zhang Taichu's heart stirred, and he suddenly opened his mouth and shouted, using the God King's War Cry.

The roar shook the soul, a highly sophisticated mental attack technique. However, the sound waves disappeared as soon as they touched the ruthless master.

"The Sacred Technique of Myriad Transformations! A supreme secret technique that can transform any secret technique other than the Great Emperor's secret techniques into something mundane!"

At this moment, the ruthless master's Flying Immortal Technique struck again, and Zhang Taichu roared and used the Sun God Fist.

With a loud bang, the two were thrown backward simultaneously. In the sky, a small sun, a hundred meters wide, was fighting against the power of the flying immortal. Neither side could suppress the other, and in the end, they both disappeared.

The ruthless expert looked grim, never expecting that even after using two ruthless secret techniques, he still couldn't suppress his opponent.

Seeing the other person's expression, Zhang Taichu smiled slightly.

"What? You only know these two secret techniques? Then you're in trouble, because I still have a trump card up my sleeve!"
