Le said, âThe technique Iâm practicing is called the Self-destructive Swordsmanship and the âNonuple Samsara Magic Formulaâ. I guess Iâm doomed to take a slaughter path in my life. Since Iâve cultivated to the Black Realm, I want to test myself at the black market.â
Zhang Ruochen said, âThe black market is surely a path with no comeback for ordinary warriors. Perhaps itâs a good try for you!â
The power of the black market was certainly massive, it had spread all over the commandery. It had enough power to confront the Martial Market Bank, the Federation of Inscription, and the Moon Worship Demonic Sect. Moreover, It was where the depraved and the fugitives assembled.
Yun rushed to the Ninth Prince. She bowed and said, âMy Ninth Prince, Lin Chenyu and Lin Ningshan have a message for you from their maidservant. They said the one month time is up. They want to invite you to the Martial arts field of the Royal Family and observe the fight.â
âOh! Itâs already been one month! Okay, Iâll head to the Martial arts field now.â Zhang Ruochen put up a smile on his face. He glanced at Le and found him exceptionally calm.
Zhang Ruochen nodded and asked, âLe, do you want to watch the fight together?â
Le said, âGood idea, letâs go!â
When Zhang Ruochen, Le, and Yun arrived at the Martial arts field, all the princes and princesses had already gathered around in the field.
Other than Lin Chenyu and Lin Ningshan from Linâs family, they also brought four guards to the field.
Seeing Le walking into the field with Zhang Ruochen, every single warrior of the Linâs was shocked, including Lin Ningshan.
âIsnât he the slave of Ningshan? He is in real luck that he didnât die!â One of the four guards sneered.
âSo what? Although he didnât die, all his Meridians have been destroyed. Heâs disabled now!â The other guard said with disdain.
The four guards who stood behind Lin Ningshan were exactly the four who broke Leâs arms and legs outside the Coliseum of the Martial Market.
They all thought that they had beaten him to death. No wonder why they were relatively shocked when they saw Le who was following behind Zhang Ruochen.
One of the guards with a hawk nose held a hundred kilogram iron rod, stepped up behind Lin Ningshan and said, âLe, youâre the slave of Ningshan. How dare you not kneel down when you see our mistress?â
Le stared at the guard cold-bloodedly.
The guard who just spoke out was only at the Advanced Stage of the Yellow Realm. Looking into Leâs eyes, he felt a chill.
âAll his Meridians have been destroyed! I shouldnât be scared! Calm down!â
The guard tried to comfort himself and continued, âA slave who wants to raise a ruckus? Such a degrading slave! I, Lin Zhuosi, have to teach you a lesson today!â
The guard held the iron rod with both hands and swung toward Leâs waist.
âBeep!â
A sword flashed.
The head of the guard had been torn apart from the body and blood sprouted three meters high from the neck.
The body without a head fell to the ground heavily.
The other three guards were all frozen behind Lin Ningshan. They couldnât believe that Le would dare to kill Lin Zhuosi.
Moreover, the way he swung the sword was too fast that no one recognized how he killed the guard.
Even Lin Ningshan with a higher cultivation couldnât identify Leâs sword technique clearly. Not to mention these three guards behind her.
The only person who had distinguished Leâs sword technique was Lin Chenyu. He chuckled and said, âLe, youâre definitely the deadly swordsman of the Linâs. Your cultivation is much stronger than before with a faster sword technique. I guess youâve reached the Black Realm?â
Le answered, âMaster Lin, I once was the slave of the Linâs. However, the Le in front of you is just Le. He has nothing to do with the Linâs anymore!â
âHaha! Le, youâre too naive. Once you are a slave, forever a slave!â âIf you dare to betray your master, youâve violated the regulations of the commandery and will be subjected to death,â Lin Ningshan said. âSince youâve broken through the Black Realm, why donât you come back to the Linâs? Youâre will enjoy lots of benefits in the future if youâre loyal to us.â
Le looked sharp and said, âMiss Lin, the reason why I agreed to be your slave was you saved my life. Yet, your saving grace has been written off since the moment you decided to kill me outside the Coliseum of the Martial Market. The Le youâre looking at is not going to be anyoneâs slave now. Iâll make sure you donât get to live if you force me to be your slave!â
Lin Ningshan was extremely irritated and said, âHow dare you! Guardsâ¦â
âMy cousin, Iâll buy this slave!â Zhang Ruochen walked toward Lin Ningshan and pointed at Le.
Although Lin Ningshan was arrogant, she was correct that it was considered as a serious crime for a slave to betray their master in the Yunwu Commandery. They would no doubt be subjected to death.
Lin Ningshan looked at Zhang Ruochen and said while smiling, âOh, my cousin. Can I say that youâre begging me?ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Zhang Ruochen answered, âIf you have to comprehend it that way, you can.â
âGreat! Since you beg me, how can I not save you some face as your cousin? Give me one million silver coins and Iâll sell you this slave.â Lin Ningshan lifted up her head and giggled.
A slave at the Initial Stage of the Black Realm was valued at a maximum of 10,000 silver coins. No one would spend one million silver coins to buy a slave at such level, including Lin Ningshan.
The Ninth Commandery Princess added, âLin Ningshan, youâre robbing my ninth brother! One million silver coins are more than enough to buy 100 slaves at the Initial Stage of the Black Realm!â
Lin Ningshan laughed and said, âDonât pretend to be good if you donât have enough coins to buy. Being a good person has a price!â
Zhang Ruochen interrupted Lin Ningshan and exclaimed, âDeal! One million silver coins are indeed worth it for Le. Iâll send the one million silver coins to the Lin Mansion within a month.â
Everyone in the field was amazed by what Zhang Ruochen had said, including Lin Ningshan.
No one believed that he would spent one million silver coins just to buy a degraded slave.
Only a fool like Zhang Ruochen would do such losing business.
âMy ninth brotherâ¦â
The Ninth Commandery Princess was about to say something but was stopped by Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen looked at Lin Ningshan. He outstretched one arm and asked, âMy cousin, I guess you can hand me the slave contract now?â
âWealth speaks louder than words! My cousin, you have my respect. One million silver coins come in at the right time, itâs going to be my dowry when I marry the Seventh Prince. Thank you, my dear cousin!â A joyful smile was displayed on Lin Ningshanâs face. She took out the beast-skin contract and handed over it to Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen responded with a faint smile. He took the beast-skin contract and made sure it was Leâs name on it. Then, he activated the Genuine Qi in his body and transferred it to his five fingers.
âBoom!â
The beast-skin contract had been shattered by his Genuine Qi and turned into nail-sized pieces of skin.
People were shocked again.
Having spent one million silver coins to buy a degraded slave and then he destroyed the contract right away. Was the Ninth Prince insane?
Le looked at Zhang Ruochen deeply and exclaimed, âIâll repay you 100 times in the future!â
âPhew!â
A guard who stood behind Lin Ningshan laughed, â100 times? Boasting fool! Thatâs altogether one billion silver coins. Even warriors of the Heaven Realm are not able to accumulate such wealth in their entire life.â
Lin Ningshan naturally didnât believe Le and thought he was being foolish.
The Ninth Commandery Princess shook her head and felt sorry for Zhang Ruochen. Le wasnât worth what Zhang Ruochen had done. Besides, even the large-scale families were unable to take out one million silver coins at once.
She sighed in her heart and since her ninth brother had made the decision, she could do nothing but let Lin Ningshan take advantage of Zhang Ruochen.
The Ninth Commandery Princess held her sword elegantly in the middle of the Martial arts field and pointed at Lin Ningshan. She said, âLin Ningshan, stop being proud of yourself! One month time is up. I hereby challenge you to fight!â
Lin Ningshan who had just received a million silver coins was so pleased that no words could explain her feelings. Moreover, she had greatly improved her cultivation level, thus she didnât bother too much about the Ninth Commandery Princess.
âThe Ninth Commandery Princess is indeed very positive! I wonder whether or not youâll still be arrogant like this if I defeat you for the third time?â Lin Ningshan sneered.
The Ninth Commandery Princess was full of confidence and said, âIf I defeat you, Iâm not going to go easy on you!â
Lin Ningshan who was wearing a white long dress walked towards the Martial arts field looked as pure as lilies. She stood beautifully in front of the Ninth Commandery Princess.
Her sight shifted to Zhang Ruochen and said, âMy cousin, I want to change the rules. If I defeat the Ninth Commandery Princess, you donât need to apologize but instead, do me a favor.â
Zhang Ruochen asked, âWhatâs it about?â
Lin Ningshan looked up slightly and smiled, âI havenât thought about it yet. Iâll tell you when I have an idea. You donât need to worry, my cousin. We are a family and Iâm not going to hurt you!â
Zhang Ruochen looked at the Ninth Commandery Princess. He nodded and said, âOkay, I promise you! Iâm sure my Ninth Sister will defeat you, I have confidence in her!â
Having listened to what Zhang Ruochen said, the Ninth Commandery Princess felt more pressure. She thought to herself, âI need to win this fight and stop Lin Ningshan from being so arrogant. With my cultivation and the use of the âTianhe Scriptureâ, I should be able to win.â
The Ninth Commandery Princess surely understood how important this fight was. She had taken out all the savings she had in order to buy all sorts of resources she needed for cultivation in this month. Therefore, her cultivation had improved greatly.
âMy ninth brother, I wonât let you down!â The Ninth Commandery Princess looked toward Zhang Ruochen with a glimmer of a smile in her eyes and the glance had displayed a sense of mystery.
âThis look⦠has she successfully cultivated the first level of the âTianhe Scriptureâ?âZhang Ruochen was shocked slightly by the fact that Yuxi had fully prepared for the fight.
âStop chattering, my Ninth Commandery Princess. You are doomed to lose the fight again!â
Lin Ningshan huffed coldly. She took out the Splendor Sword and released it toward the Ninth Commandery Princess.
There was half a meter long sword light pulled through as well as an irritating sword echo while she was releasing the sword.
âThe Completion of the Yellow Realm!â Zhang Ruochen frowned slightly. He could tell Lin Ningshanâs martial arts realm when she released her sword.
Lin Ningshanâs cultivation had been greatly enhanced in just a month! If she didnât take any pills, she wouldnât be able to break through from the Final State to the Completion of the Yellow Realm in such a short period of time.
The Third Prince shook his head and said, âLin Ningshan has cultivated to the Completion of the Yellow Realm. Our ninth sister is definitely going to lose!â
âIf our ninth sister loses, our ninth brother will have to do Lin Ningshan a favor. What if Lin Ningshan wants him to kneel down? It will no doubt that can stain the reputation of the Royal Family!â The Fifth Prince said with cruelty in his eyes.
The Third Prince said, âOur ninth brother is still too young and impetuous. If let him suffer some setbacks. Itâll do him good for his future as a warrior.â
