I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 775 The Battle
Gu Mingyue really wanted to recruit Zhang Chen under his command. For him, if a powerful man with tenth-level bloodline could join his command, it would be like adding wings to a tiger.

The path to the gods is ultimately flawed. The monks who rely on the faith and worship of incense to ascend have unstable foundations and are easily shackled by the incense.

Zhang Chen ignored Gu Mingyue's words, but turned his head to look at the twisted void in the distance. There were countless evil spirits about to be born there, impacting the space. An idea came to his mind: "If I can suppress them all and suppress them in the Ice Hell, then whether I pick up skills or refine and devour them, it will be a great tonic for me."

Zhang Chen was tempted by greed, but it was not an easy task to suppress those evil spirits and lock them up in the ice hell one by one.

As the saying goes, two fists are no match for four hands. He doesn't have three heads and six arms, so how could he restrain so many monsters?

“If I can seize control of the blood sea formation and use it to suppress those monsters, and then use myself as bait, I will definitely be able to imprison those monsters in the ice hell.” Zhang Chen raised his head and looked at the blood sea that enveloped the entire Chongzheng Academy, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

The Blood Sea Formation controlled by him personally, with the added power of the Blood Dao, is no less powerful than the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation.

"Boy, the ancestor is talking to you, did you hear me clearly?" Gu Mingyue looked at Zhang Chen, who had dazed eyes and a trance-like expression, with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

"Old man, I clearly won first place in the Taoist temple competition that year, but you insisted on depriving me of the opportunity to curry favor with Zhang Xiaohua. Now you still have the nerve to ask me to surrender. You are simply dreaming. Old thief, I can never coexist with you! If you have the ability, just use it. I want to see if you can subdue me!" Zhang Chen pointed at Gu Mingyue's nose with the measuring ruler in his hand and cursed.

Upon hearing this, Gu Mingyue became so angry that his face turned red. Since he became one of the Twelve True Immortals of Huang Tiandao, when had he ever been humiliated like this?

"I saw that you have some skills, and I valued talents, so I wanted you to make up for your crime with meritorious service. But now that you are seeking death, you can't blame me!" Gu Mingyue stretched out his hand, and a water-blue lightsaber flashed. Then he jumped down from the blood-colored cloud, and with a sword light hundreds of feet long, he slashed towards Zhang Chen.

"If you were any other eleventh-level warrior, I would have to be a little afraid of you, but you happen to be a water god..." Zhang Chen looked at the sword light coming from Gu Mingyue, the scale of the measuring ruler in his hand flickered slightly, and the void around him twisted and became flickering. The hundred-foot sword light slipped past Zhang Chen and couldn't do anything to him.

The next moment, divine light circulated around Zhang Chen, and he took the initiative to rush towards Gu Mingyue. At the moment when the two of them were close, Zhang Chen's water authority was activated:

"suppress!"

Gu Mingyue is the water god of the Yangtze River, and possesses the authority over water. Relying on the blessing of the water authority on the Yangtze River, he can exert the power of the twelfth level, and is a twelfth-level god. After leaving the Yangtze River, he can exert the power of the eleventh level in the land of Jiangnan, and can possess the combat power of the eleventh level.

At this time, Zhang Chen directly activated the water authority and deprived Gu Mingyue of the blessing of the water authority. He himself was just a ninth-level incense god.

The ninth-order power of the incense and fire gods was gathered from the Yellow Heavenly Dao, not the blessing brought by the water authority, so Zhang Chen could not deprive it of it.

Zhang Chen lightly tapped the measuring ruler in his hand, and the sword light in Gu Mingyue's hand shattered. Then he swept the measuring ruler along with the momentum, and Gu Mingyue was knocked to the ground.

In the end, he held back and did not kill him.

Of course, this was not out of mercy on his part, but rather the demon tribe had set up a large formation outside Jinling City, which he could not break by himself, so he needed help.

What's more, opening the Shen family's underground palace and breaking the innate water god formation also requires help, and Gu Mingyue is the best helper he has chosen.

"How can this be!!!"

Gu Mingyue staggered and looked at Zhang Chen in disbelief, her eyes full of horror.

This time it was not only Gu Mingyue who was shocked, but also the common voice of everyone present.

How can this be?

Gu Mingyue is an eleventh-level god, how could she be knocked to the ground by Zhang Chen's ruler?
Zhang Chen ignored Gu Mingyue, and instead a fixed character turned into a stream of light and sank into Gu Mingyue's body, suppressing all of Gu Mingyue's strength.

"Ancestor!!!" Zhao Lie, the Pojun Star on the cloud, sensed something was wrong. When he saw Gu Mingyue being suppressed by Zhang Chen with just a ruler, he felt as if the whole sky had fallen.

How could Zhang Chen suppress Gu Mingyue, who was at the eleventh level? Could it be that the other party was a twelfth level expert?

"Mobilize the Blood Sea Formation, use it to kill him!" Zhao Lie shouted hurriedly. But at this time, Huang Tiandao's disciples had already jumped out of the Blood Sea Formation to search for the fortune in Chongzheng Academy, so how could they return to the Blood Sea Formation in time?

The sudden changes in the field at this time had already alarmed all the dignitaries and Huang Tiandao monks. They all changed color and looked at Zhang Chen in horror. Those Huang Tiandao monks who were looting treasures in the academy hurriedly abandoned their opponents and rushed towards the blood sea formation, but how could Zhang Chen give them a chance?
Zhang Chen grabbed the air with his palm, and in an instant all the sounds within a thousand miles gathered in the palm of Zhang Chen's hand, and then the law of sound waves circulated, and in an instant a powerful ultrasonic wave burst out from Zhang Chen's hand, and wherever it passed, the ground collapsed and the mountains were destroyed. Everyone felt dizzy, blood gushing from their mouths and noses, their qi and blood in their bodies were disordered, and their blood strength was dissipated, and they fell to the ground one after another.

These Huang Tiandao cultivators are just ordinary martial arts cultivators. Although they have cultivated their qi and blood, they are not good enough when facing Zhang Chen.

However, Zhang Chen's ultrasonic waves not only attacked the cultivators of Huang Tiandao, but also the nobles. One by one, their eyes turned white and they fell to the ground, or fainted, or simply lost their combat effectiveness.

Zhang Chen's sound law evolved from the Blood Path and is a tenth-level skill. It is easy for him to suppress a group of seventh-eighth-level and third-fourth-level cultivators.

Zhao Lie above saw that the situation was not good, and without saying a word he turned into starlight and disappeared in the blood cloud, not even caring about the blood sea formation.

After all, those thousands of Huang Tian Dao cultivators were captured by Zhang Chen. Without these people's leadership, the Blood Sea Formation could no longer be maintained. But how could Zhao Lie alone operate the Blood Sea Formation to reverse the situation? At this time, escaping was the best option.

Zhang Chen looked at the other party's fleeing back and did not chase after him, because it was too late to chase him now. Zhao Lie mastered the power of the stars and traveled thousands of miles in an instant.

"Just run away, it has nothing to do with the overall situation." Zhang Chen did not chase after him, but turned his gaze to look at Huang Chao who was standing in the clouds. Huang Chao stared at Zhang Chen blankly, and then looked at Gu Mingyue who was lying at Zhang Chen's feet. He used to think that he had overestimated Zhang Chen as much as possible, but now it seems that he still underestimated Zhang Chen.

That was Gu Mingyue, who possessed the eleventh-level combat power. Yet, she couldn't even survive a single encounter with Zhang Chen. So, what level of cultivation could she have reached?
Huang Chao was shocked and his eyes were full of disbelief.

But the next moment Huang Chao glanced at Gu Mingyue on the ground, and then looked at the escaping Pojun Star Zhao Lie, and couldn't help but secretly rejoice in his heart: "The opportunity to show off is here!"

When Zhao Lie, the star of Pojun, saw Zhang Chen display his might, he ran away, while Zhao Lie rushed forward without hesitation to save Gu Mingyue. Wouldn't it be more obvious that he was sincere when compared with Gu Mingyue? Wouldn't it make Gu Mingyue see his loyalty?

Anyway, Zhang Chen would never kill him, so this was his chance to show off. After today, Gu Mingyue would definitely treat him as his top confidant!
"Zhang Chen, you are a treacherous villain. You are also a disciple of Huang Tiandao, but you dare to disrespect your teachers in Huang Tiandao. Today I will enforce the family rules on behalf of Huang Tiandao! Quickly release Taoist Gu Mingyue and release everyone. I forgive your sins, otherwise I will never let you go today!" Huang Chao stood in the blood cloud and angrily scolded Zhang Chen.

Gu Mingyue, who was standing by, saw Huang Chao's righteous look and was moved. She was touched and said, "I didn't expect that at the critical moment, he didn't think of escaping at the first moment, but stayed to save me without hesitation..."

Compared with the escaped Zhao Lie, Huang Chao's thin figure looked particularly tall at this time.

"He is a loyal person who can be entrusted with important tasks and whom I can trust. If I, Gu Mingyue, can survive this disaster, I will definitely use him and train him to be my confidant! I may even seek the vacant position of Star God for him!" Gu Mingyue looked at the righteous Huang Chao and felt moved.

The more critical the moment, the more we can see how noble Huang Chao's character is.

"You bastard, give me back my master!" Huang Chao said as he turned into a puff of black smoke and pounced towards Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen sneered at this and said, "It's just like trying to stop a chariot with a mantis arm. Your master is no match for me, let alone a mere ant like you."

The measuring ruler in Zhang Chen's hand crossed the void and hit the black smoke.

"Be careful to dodge, the ruler in his hand is not simple, it seems to have the ability to affect space!" Gu Mingyue hurriedly spoke up to remind him.

Unfortunately, it was too late! Only by facing Zhang Chen's ruler head-on, can we know how powerful Zhang Chen's ruler is.

Huang Chao knew that Zhang Chen was very strong, but when he really faced Zhang Chen, he realized how powerful Zhang Chen was.

Under the ruler, the space seemed to be blocked, turning into a solid wall that fixed him. At this moment, he was like a piece of amber, unable to move at all. Then he watched helplessly as the ruler fell, knocking him back to his original form from the black fog, and he fell beside Gu Mingyue, his life or death unknown.

"You're just an ant, yet you dare to fight me? You really don't know how to live or die." Zhang Chen sighed quietly, his voice full of disdain.

"Zhang Chen, you disrespect your teachers, harm your fellow disciples, and even ruin the great cause of Huang Tiandao. The great and virtuous teacher will never forgive you!" Gu Mingyue spoke at this time, glaring at Zhang Chen.
