Chapter 541
The Iron Lady's eyes were shining like two bright, cold stars . She looked down at the blood on her hands . Smiling coldly, she said, "You indeed live up to being number one on the Heaven Board . You react fast . "
"You are very strong and able, too . "
As Zhang Ruochen felt around his neck for blood stains, the expression in his eyes gradually turned cold .
The speed by which the Iron Lady struck was alarming and ruthless . Every single move of hers could kill .
Confrontation with such enemies demanded caution . Any form of negligence could result in a terrible death .
The Orange Star Emissary who was standing behind Zhang Ruochen warned him, saying, "The Iron Lady is ranked the number 10 killer of the Blood Cloud Tower . Once, she assassinated a superior who had reached the Fifth Change in the Fish-Dragon Realm . She successfully completed the assassination mission . However, she was also seriously injured during that mission . Her opponent almost shattered her bones . "
"A Half-Saint from the Blood Cloud Tower set her bones back using a silver-molybdenum-iron alloy . Her new body is even more powerful than before .
"About half of her body is made of silver, molybdenum, and iron . "
Zhang Ruochen nodded his head in realization . No wonder the Iron Lady had not felt any pain when he pierced her with his sword .
Such a half-man, half-metal killer was not easy to tackle .
The Iron Lady gave the Orange Star Emissary an icy look and said, "Orange Star Emissary, you have betrayed the Black Market . This is unforgivable . All the evil warriors will be after your life once you return to Kunlun's Field . You subordination to Zhang Ruochen has ruined your future . "
"The Orange Star Emissary let out a scornful laugh and said, "Iron Lady, you have a strong body and a reasonable level of cultivation . However, it would not be difficult for me to kill you . "
"What bold words! How befitting for someone who used to be a Star Emissary . "
The Iron Lady snorted and placed the Auspicious Vase into the metallic groove at her waist . She parted her feet slowly, and she started to shuffle her metal combat boots against the floor, producing tiny sparks from the warship fragments .
She held her iron hands together tightly and said, "Orange Star Emmissary, if it were in the past I would have refrained from confronting you because of your status . But now, I'll be rewarded if I cut off your head and bring it back to the Black Market . It'll be much better for me to kill you than to kill ten saints . "
"Really? A star emissary will remain a star emissary, and a killer will be a killer forever . You will die a tragic death if you come to grips with me . "
The Orange Star emissary shook her head and smiled . She had quietly begun to harness her Qi and all her fingers began to emit icy cold Qi .
Two powerful blasts of Qi rushed towards each other and collided in the space between the two opponents .
"Swosh!"
In the next instant, the Iron Lady and the Orange Star Emissary simultaneously pushed their feet off the ground . They looked like two shadows shot up into the air, and they began fighting fiercely .
"Bang!"
Like lightning, the two women attacked each other with a dozen moves .
Ao Xinyan, who was standing on the debris of the warship, pulled out the Bishui Dragon Pattern Sword while watching the two women fighting in the air . Then she said, "Group Leader, would you like me to give Orange Star a hand?"
"No . She can't become one of the Seven Star emissaries of the Black Market if she can't even overpower the Iron Lady," said Zhang Ruochen .
The Orange Star Emissary had just reached the Second Change in the Fish-Dragon Realm, therefore she had not accumulated enough depth, nor had she practiced any Ghost Level martial techniques . Zhang Ruochen, however, had full confidence in her .
Shouldn't a star emissary, carefully selected among thousands of candidates, and painstakingly nurtured by the saints, be capable of this?
Zhang Ruochen raised his voice and said, "Orange Star Emissary, I will reward you richly if you manage to kill the Iron Lady and to retrieve my Auspicious Vase for me . "
"Thank you," said the Orange Star Emissary with a smile .
That the Orange Emissary was still able to answer Zhang Ruochen in this manner, while confronting an evil superior like the Iron Lady, showed that she was able to tackle her opponent effortlessly .
"Clomp, Clomp!"
Suddenly a subtle sound of running water could be heard from afar .
Zhang Ruochen shifted his vision to look behind him, and he saw seven humanoid fish approaching them .
Three of them, flying in mid-air, were like three circles of sunlight . They emitted a light so strong that it hurt the eye .
The remaining four humanoid fish were swimming in the water .
"Since the Iron Lady has appeared, the other evil masters must be close by . They may ambush us anytime, so be on your guard while I deal with the humanoid fish . "
After Zhang Ruochen gave intructions to Ao Xinyan and Huang Yanchen, he grabbed the Ancient Abyss Sword and jumped off what was left of the warship . He headed towards the seven humanoid fish walking on water .
Standing up to seven humanoid fish on his own was indeed a great challenge .
However, instead of feeling or looking fearful, Zhang Ruochen was very excited .
To him, these were not merely seven humanoid fish, but also a chance to earn many military merits .
Four humanoid fish of the Fourth Change in the Fish-Dragon Realm and three humanoid fish of the Third Change in the Fish-Dragon Realm amounted to a total of 1 . 1 million military merits .
Zhang Ruochen's primary goal was to reach the Ultimate Realm of the Heaven Realm .
He was closer to achieving this goal than ever .
Zhang Ruochen would certainly not tackle the seven humanoid fish at close range . He would have no chance of defeating them if he did that .
After all, the humanoid fish was extremely skillful in defense and impossible to kill by spiritual power alone . Unless it was attacked at its most vulnerable spot, even a holy weapon like the Ancient Abyss Sword could not kill it .
"Swoosh!"
Zhang Ruochen tossed out the Dragon Lock Chain while the closest humanoid fish was still over 300 meters away .
