God Emperor

Behind Ao Xinyan, a two-meter-tall purple exotic grass grows. Silently, veins appeared on the surface of the grass blades.

At the tips of the grass blades, the mesophyll was split open, revealing a big black eye, which looked like a human eye or a ferocious beast's eye.

"Be careful." Zhang Ruochen said.

Ao Xinyan was stunned for a moment. The next moment, she also noticed the dangerous aura and was about to dodge.

"Wow!"

One of the blades of the purple exotic grass quickly rolled over and wrapped around Ao Xinyan's body.

Ao Xinyan's hands were tied and she couldn't draw her sword. She could only channel her true energy into her arms, trying to break the blades of grass.

However, the blades of grass were very resilient, and no matter how much strength she exerted, she could not damage them in the slightest.

Just when Ao Xinyan was panicking, she accidentally breathed in a breath of foul smelling gas.

That gas seemed to be toxic. Ao Xinyan felt that her brain was dizzy, her whole body was numb, and even the speed of her true energy was becoming slower and slower.

"What a powerful human being. If I absorb your blood, I should be able to improve my cultivation for a hundred years."

That strange grass actually made a human voice.

There were seven blades of exotic grass in total, one of which was wrapped around Ao Xinyan. The tips of the remaining six blades of grass turned into thin tubes and stabbed towards Ao Xinyan's delicate body.

"call out!"

A sword sound sounded.

Shen Yuan's ancient sword flew out from its scabbard, drawing a beautiful arc in mid-air.

The ancient sword dragged out a sword energy, swung the sword and cut off all six blades of grass.

Crimson blood flowed from the broken blades of grass.

The purple exotic grass let out a scream similar to that of a human being, and only one blade of grass remained, wrapping Ao Xinyan around and escaping into the distance.

"Can you still move?"

A smile appeared at the corner of Zhang Ruochen's mouth, he stretched out an index finger and shot a red hot sword wave from a distance.

The purple exotic grass was hit by the sword wave and immediately fell into pieces.

The grass blades were covered with a layer of flames, making a crackling sound, and soon burned into a ball of black fly ash.

Ao Xinyan lay on the ground with her eyes closed tightly.

Zhang Ruochen took back Shen Yuan's ancient sword, walked over, stretched out two fingers, and pressed them on her neck.

The fingertips released the true energy and entered her body.

Later, Zhang Ruochen took his hand back and said: "The poison she was given was not very toxic, it just made her temporarily comatose. With her cultivation, she can wake up in half a day at most."

"Hey! Zhang Ruochen, how did you get into such trouble? Why don't you let her stay here and let's collect the original energy first." Xiaohei said.

Zhang Ruochen hesitated for a moment and said: "Take her with you! She is unconscious now. If she stays here, she will soon be eaten by the wood spirits and grass monsters in the forest."

"How to carry it? Do you carry it or should I carry it?" Xiao Hei said.

"Of course it's you."

Zhang Ruochen put his hands behind his back, used the wind-controlling flying dragon shadow technique, and disappeared into the forest, leaving only a series of remaining shadows.

Xiao Hei glanced at Ao Xinyan and said, "He is really a troublemaker."

After saying that, it carried Ao Xinyan on its back, turned into a black light shuttle, and quickly chased in the direction Zhang Ruochen left.

Not long after Zhang Ruochen and Xiao Hei left, a group of people came to where they were just now.

It was Pei Ji, Xi Yunxi, Zuo Qiuling, and the eighteen masters of the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Realm sent by the three great saints.

"Buzz!"

Above the head of the left hill, there was a swarm of bees flying, each one the size of a fist.

This is the second-level savage beast, Thousand Miles Bee.

Zuo Qiuling is not only a martial arts wizard, but also an extremely talented beast master. Therefore, he was able to control Qianli Feng and track the aura left by Zhang Ruochen.

"Zhang Ruochen should have left a quarter of an hour ago, and then he continued walking northeast." Zuo Qiuling said.

Xi Yunxi showed a puzzled look and said, "What on earth did Zhang Ruochen come to the Wood Spirit Ruins Realm to do?"

Zuo Qiuling said: "Zhang Ruochen's move not only attracted us to the Wood Spirit Ruins Realm, but also attracted people from the black market and the Demon Cult. From this point of view, there might really be something extraordinary in the Wood Spirit Ruins Realm. Otherwise, Zhang Ruochen would not have taken such a big risk."

Xi Yunxi's finger gently touched his chin, and said meaningfully: "Maybe the Buddha Emperor and Jinlong told him some secret before they died. That secret may be in the Wood Spirit Ruins Realm. "

Zuo Qiuling's expression was startled and he said, "It's really possible."

Pei Ji said with a gloomy face: "It's useless for us to guess anything now. Once we catch him, we will naturally know his purpose of coming to the Wood Spirit Ruins Realm."

Zuo Qiuling and Xi Yunxi nodded.

Under the guidance of Qianli Feng, they continued to follow.

The days in the Bodhisattva Realm are very long, taking up two-thirds of the day.

When night fell, two bright moons appeared in the sky, and they were very huge, like two crystal jade plates hanging on a black cloth, shedding wisps of bright light.

Zhang Ruochen and Xiao Hei stopped traveling and found a higher location to rest temporarily.

Ao Xinyan has regained consciousness. After taking the antidote pill, although her cultivation has not fully recovered, she is no longer seriously ill.

But after she woke up, she remained silent and stood motionless under the moon.

She has always been a conceited and willful person, so it would be fine if she lost to Zhang Ruochen. After leaving the Holy Court, she narrowly escaped death twice in a row. If Zhang Ruochen hadn't come to the rescue, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

how so?

Ao Xinyan had deeper doubts about her own strength.

Zhang Ruochen sat cross-legged on a white stone and adjusted his breath for a while. He had fully cultivated the infuriating energy consumed during the day and reached its peak state again.

We are getting closer and closer to the Great Ultimate of the Heavenly Realm, and we should be able to break through within the next few days.

Zhang Ruochen took a deep breath and collected the energy that had escaped around his body. He opened his eyes and looked at Ao Xinyan, only to find that she was still standing in her original position, as if she had never moved.

Ao Xinyan stared at Zhang Ruochen and said, "Zhang Ruochen, are you laughing at me in your heart?"

Zhang Ruochen said: "Why am I laughing at you?"

"You must be laughing at me. It's useless to laugh at me. You are laughing at me for not knowing the heights of the world. You are laughing at me for not knowing my own abilities. Maybe you are right. I should really find a place to hide, leave here, and then return honestly. To the Holy Court."

Ao Xinyan's eyes were red, as if she was about to shed tears.

Zhang Ruochen asked: "Do you want to hear the truth or lies?"

"The truth."

Ao Xinyan became nervous and held her breath.

Obviously, she cared very much about Zhang Ruochen's evaluation of her.

Zhang Ruochen said: "Your talent is very high, unique among ten thousand, and you can be called a genius. If you can practice hard in the future, you can hope to become a saint."

Ao Xinyan said: "You are lying to me."

Zhang Ruochen said: "I don't need to lie to you. If you didn't have great talent, I wouldn't bother to say so many words to you, let alone save you twice."

"But..." Ao Xinyan said.

Zhang Ruochen stood up and said, "The reason why you are so confused now is because you have never suffered a setback. People only know how to get up after they fall."

He continued: "The reason why you were plotted by the boss of the Wei family and the fool is not that you are not strong enough, but because you have lacked experience since childhood and have not seen the sinister nature of people. At the same time, you are too confident about your own strength. Too conceited.”

"The battlefield of the Ruins Realm is not a martial arts competition. It is not easy to survive here."

"You don't have to be so pessimistic. If you practice a few more times and experience more setbacks, you won't be as vulnerable as you are now."

Ao Xinyan listened to Zhang Ruochen's words very quietly, like a little girl listening to the teachings of her elders.

Zhang Ruochen told her a lot, and she listened silently. Those beautiful eyes became brighter and brighter, and when they looked at Zhang Ruochen, there was a strange light in their eyes.

About two hours later.

Zhang Ruochen said: "I have told you almost everything that needs to be said. Whether you can untie the knot in your heart depends on yourself!"

Ao Xinyan's mood seemed to have improved a lot. She smiled a little and said, "Team leader, you said before that only those who have fallen know how to get up. In other words, you have also fallen before. Pass?"

She took the initiative to change the title of Zhang Ruochen to "team leader", which shows that her state of mind has really changed.

Zhang Ruochen glanced at her, with a look of reminiscence in his eyes, and nodded, as if talking to himself: "I fell down before, and I fell so badly that I almost didn't get a chance to stand up again."

"Impossible! You are so strong that you are invincible among your generation. Is there anyone who can make you fall?" Ao Xinyan looked curious.

Zhang Ruochen said: "You don't need to ask! Even if you ask, I won't answer. In addition, I would like to advise you again, it is best not to follow me in the world of Wood Spirit Ruins. It will not be good for you."

"Why? Do you still want to refuse a beauty like me who is traveling with you? You have to know that many descendants of the saint's family took the initiative to ask me out, but I didn't give them a chance."

Ao Xinyan seemed to have solved her knot and was in a good mood. She smiled brightly and took the initiative to tease Zhang Ruochen.

Under the moonlight, Ao Xinyan's skin was as smooth as jade, her facial features were quite exquisite, and her figure was uneven, outlining beautiful curves.

Zhang Ruochen said: "Because, I want to be the enemy of the entire Wood Spirit Ruins world."

"What?" Ao Xinyan asked.

"I told you, you wouldn't understand."

Just when Ao Xinyan was thinking about the meaning of Zhang Ruochen's words.

Zhang Ruochen's ears moved slightly, his eyes condensed, he quickly turned around, looked southwest, and said: "What a powerful murderous aura, they finally caught up!"
