Chapter 26: The Bloody Battle of Rouge Street (Part 2)

  Situ Ming'an furrowed his brow and said: "The Shentu family's intentions are unclear, since that's the case, let them withdraw first."

  "But what about the mountain on the other side?" Sito Ching anxiously asked.

  "Your second and third uncles have not returned after leaving the city, now the house is empty, guarding the mansion is no problem, but if you want to make a surprise attack, you will inevitably conflict with the Shen Tu family, so it's better to observe first."

  "I'm afraid Zhang Shan is mostly unlucky, our plan to stop Shentu Shengdong from getting that entry quota will be stillborn." said Situ Qing with a tone of unwillingness.

  "I reckon the second and third elders will return to the city within half an hour at most. I'll send a transmission talisman, telling them to head straight to Rouge Street to rescue people when they return to the city. Hopefully, Zhang Shan's luck will be strong."

  Situ Ming An thought for a moment, and a transmission talisman was sent out from his hand, disappearing into the air without a trace.

  Situ Qingwan knew that it was only like this now, and Zhang Shan's face floated in her mind. "I hope he can hold on..."

  On the top floor of a wine tower one mile outside the Sito Manor, Shentu Shengdong looked at the old man in front of him with respect: "Grandfather, I was wrong, please forgive me."

  The old man's face was thin, with a hooked nose and a pair of narrow, long eyes that resembled those of Shen Tu Sheng Dong. It was none other than Shen Tu Chang Feng, the elderly master of the Shen Tu family who had just come out of his seclusion.

  He looked at his nervous grandson: "By all accounts, you should be joining the Wēn Tiān Sect, but instead, for a woman, you attacked the chief disciple of the Wēn Tiān Academy. If this gets out, you'll end up with a reputation for being quarrelsome and lacking in propriety."

  Shentu Sheng's forehead was sweating, and he humbly and obediently dared not argue back.

  "However, although your original intention was wrong, it's not wrong to deal with Zhang Shan's behavior. This is also why I appeared here and stopped the people sent by the Situ family from rescuing Zhang Shan." Shentu Changfeng said slowly.

  Shentu Shengdong raised his head and looked at his own grandfather in confusion, unable to make sense of it for a moment.

  "Our family has been oppressed by the Situ family for over a decade. This time, Situ Qingyan was again chosen as an inner disciple of the Xuantian Sect. If you can't enter the Xuantian Sect, in just a few years, my Shentu family will likely face disaster and destruction."

  Shen Tu's long wind was cold and cruel with a smile: "So, all the hidden dangers that can make you appear in the door selection should be cleared ahead of time."

  "If I meet that Zhang Shan in the selection match, Sun Er still has a full grasp of it." Tu Shengdong said confidently.

  "He hummed and said, 'Since he's worthy of the Situ family's recruitment and plans to use him against you in the selection tournament, he must have something extraordinary about him. The sect's selection can't afford to lose out, it's better to kill by mistake than to let one go, do you understand?'"

  "The lion fights the rabbit with all its might. My son has learned a lesson." Shentu Shengdong nodded in agreement, despite his reservations.

  Shen Tu Changfeng finally smiled contentedly.

  Just as the Situ family was being held back in the mansion and didn't dare to make a move, Zhang Shan had already fallen into a bitter battle on Rouge Street.

  The warriors of the Shen Tu family were repelled by him one after another, but they launched wave after wave of attacks without fear of death.

  But often when he was about to make a desperate breakthrough, Sun Shoucai would suddenly rush forward and push him back into the encirclement, causing him to miss his chance.

  "Bei Ling, if I let you come, can you break through?" Zhang Shan called out in his heart as he was blocked by Sun Shoucai once again.

  "A clever woman can't cook without rice, and if it's just a matter of dealing with Sun Shoucai, I'm confident I can defeat him. But add these dozens of skilled martial artists who are in sync with each other, and I'm no match for them unless the host can break through to the second level of Ling Wu."

  "How can you let me break through at the last minute? How is this possible?" Zhang Shan dodged two long knives and shouted in the sea of people.

  "There is still a possibility, the host's true yuan capacity has reached the verge of a breakthrough, it's just a little short." said Bi Ling.

  "This I know, just need to cultivate for another ten days or so, I can have enough true yuan to open the eleventh spiritual aperture, but now in this situation, it will consume true yuan, how can I break through?" Zhang Shan said with a defeated tone.

  "The host has forgotten that the Sanluo Wanxiang Jue can not only absorb the heaven and earth's yuanqi, but also absorb a warrior's true yuan to cultivate." The stele spirit reminded him.

  Zhang Shan's mind was shaken, his movements slowed down for a moment, and he was cut by a long sword on his shoulder, leaving a wound.

  But he didn't mind at all, and instead a surge of excitement rose in his heart, "I'm really stupid, these dozens of warriors are just like dozens of demon crystals."

  "At this time, the voice of the stele spirit sounded again: 'Next, you use the indestructible body of the five elements to harden and take all attacks on yourself, taking the opportunity to absorb and transform the opponent's true yuan into your own true yuan using the Forest Luo Wanxiang Jue.'"

  "I see. Once I absorb and transform enough true essence, I'll be able to break through the eleventh spiritual acupoint and advance to the second level of the Spiritual Martial Realm, right?" Zhang Shan laughed loudly in his heart.

  "Not bad, when you advance to the second level of Lingwu Realm, I'll take over. Don't mention breaking through the encirclement, it's even possible to kill Sun Shoucai by skipping levels." Bi Ling replied.

  With his plan set, Zhang Shan began implementing this "borrowing a chicken to lay eggs" scheme.

  In order not to arouse Sun Shoucai's suspicion, he pretended to be exhausted and his movements gradually slowed down.

  Before long, Sun Shoucai also noticed Zhang Shan's abnormality. He didn't suspect anything and instead exclaimed with great joy: "This kid is done for, let's add more strength, after we're done, the young master will surely reward us heavily."

  Those warriors were greatly encouraged by this and shouted loudly, their offensive becoming even more fierce.

  Zhang Shan skillfully dodged, trying his best to avoid the vital points, only allowing various attacks to land on other parts of his body.

  Before long, he had accumulated quite a few wounds on his body. As the enemy's fists and feet continued to pound against him, a surge of true yuan simultaneously invaded his body.

  Zhang Shan's face showed a painful expression, using all his strength to operate the Sen Luo Wan Xiang Jue, frantically absorbing and transforming the true yuan of different attributes.

  The clothes on his body were already tattered and worn out, but the blood didn't flow much, all thanks to the rapid healing ability of Wu Xing's indestructible body.

  "No way, having suffered so many injuries, how can you still hold on for so long? And... the bleeding stopped quickly..." Sun Shoucai finally discovered the abnormality of the situation.

  He couldn't help but take a closer look, "This is... Refining Body Technique? And this kid's true yuan seems to be getting more abundant?"

  Sun Shoucai felt a strong sense of unease in his heart, feeling that things seemed to have exceeded his expectations.

  At this moment, Zhang Shan's momentum suddenly surged, and the heaven and earth's primordial energy madly rushed towards him. On his body, a faint white light even appeared, which was a phenomenon that occurred when the heaven and earth's primordial energy reached a certain concentration.

  Sun Shoucai's mind flashed with a thought, "This is not good, it's going to be a sudden breakthrough."

  A loud whistle, Zhang Shan's external yuanqi suddenly exploded outward with a loud bang, sending the martial artists surrounding him flying in all directions.

  A powerful aura rose from his body, and he had already reached the second level of the Spiritual Martial Realm!

  Zhang Shan looked up at the sky and laughed loudly: "The miscellaneous troops of the Shentu family, next it's my turn to abuse you!"
