he cloud martial king, Zhang Ruochin.Here is the text translated into English: >>Zhang Ruochin started cultivating at the age of sixteen when he awakened the Divine Martial Mark. In just three years,...The bamboo flute spun in Kong Lan'yu's hand, bringing with it a circle of true qi waves. Afterward, her arm trembled and swung out rapidly. (.*&$>>>Cotton Candy Novel*)

Those bamboo leaves, like flying swords, flew towards Zhang Ruochen like raindrops in a downpour.

"Ouch!"

In Zhang Ruochin's eyes, what flew over were not bamboo leaves, but little figures wielding swords. They came like thousands of soldiers, bristling with killing intent and overwhelming in their presence, letting out a deafening roar.

Kong Lan's swordsmanship was sharp and powerful, forcing Zhang Ruochin to retreat constantly.

"No, I can't retreat any further. My cultivation level is above hers, and my power surpasses hers. Why can't I fight with all my strength"

Zhang Ruochin's legs sank, his feet sinking three inches into the ground. He stopped retreating, gripped his sword, and slashed straight forward.

>>

Zhang Ruochin naturally wouldn't use other means, only his own strength, to fight her.

Suddenly, with a whoosh! Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated.

Kong Lan You struck again, unleashing his fourth sword.

Zhang Ruochin once again raised his arm and blocked forward, wanting to continue fighting Kong Lan'you head-on.

With a loud , Kong Lan You's bamboo flute, guided by her fingers, pierced through Zhang Ruochin's arm and struck his right shoulder. This sent Zhang Ruochin flying backwards.

Zhang Ruochin only felt that his right arm had completely lost feeling, and half of his body became numb. Just as he was about to fall clumsily to the ground, suddenly, he circulated his true qi, extended his left hand, and struck the ground with a palm. His body flew backwards.

Before he could even stand steady, Kong Lan's fifth sword technique was already launched, striking towards his brow.

Zhang Ruochin did not dodge, immediately pushing his left palm forward, striking Kong Lan's abdomen.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

If Kong Lan You does not withdraw her bamboo flute, her lower abdomen will be struck by Zhang Ruochen. A martial artist at the middle stage of Tianji Realm absolutely could not withstand a palm strike from Zhang Ruochen without dying.

Kōng Lán Yǒu let out a cold snort. Her slender waist twisted like a fish swimming in water, swiftly shooting upwards to dodge Zhang Ruochin's attack.

At the same time, she struck downwards, her bamboo flute pointing at Zhang Ruochin's heart. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

"That's not good."

Zhang Ruochin felt the chill on his back, knowing he couldn't dodge this attack no matter what. He immediately mobilized his true qi, forming a protective Heavenly General shield, and pushed it backward.

The Divine Guardian transformed, becoming a massive sphere of light that enveloped Zhang Ruochen within its core.

Kong Lan's bamboo flute struck the surface of the light sphere, causing it to sink inward immediately.

Kong Lan's blow shattered Zhang Ruochin's protective Heavenly Gang, landing squarely on his back. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

However, after being blocked by Hu Tidian's protection, the power contained on the bamboo flute had been reduced by half. When it hit Zhang Ruochin, it only produced a sound of impact, causing Zhang Ruochin to stumble forward. It did not seriously injure him.

Zhang Ruochin gritted his teeth, enduring the searing pain from his back. He twisted his body in a full circle, just as he turned around, a bamboo flute was pressed against his chest.

If this were a true fight to the death, his heart would have been pierced by the bamboo flute at this moment.

Zhang Ruochin retracted his hand and said, "I lost!"

"You were defeated after six moves. In half a month, you've grown so much. Your swordsmanship intuition is far beyond my expectations."

Kong Lan withdrew his bamboo flute, and walked back to the bamboo pavilion.

She waved her palm lightly over the table. On the stone table in the bamboo pavilion, a teapot and two celadon teacups appeared instantly.

With a single breath, Kong Lan-you blew out the air. The tea kettle lifted slowly, suspended in mid-air.

"Pfft!"

It is unclear how Kong Lan Yu cast his spell, but spiritual energy from heaven and earth continuously flowed back into the teapot.

Some of the spiritual energy flew into the teapot, merging with the water inside. Other energy transformed into wisps of flame, enveloping the teapot.

Not long after, a faint fragrance of tea emerged from the teapot, transforming into wisps of white mist that permeated the bamboo forest.

"Zhang Ruochin, I said before, as long as you can take my three moves, I will treat you to some good things. Now, you can enter the bamboo pavilion." Kong Lan'you said faintly.

Zhang Ruochin walked into the bamboo pavilion, and that aroma of tea became even more intense.

Zhang Ruochen took a deep breath, inhaling the fragrance of tea. In an instant, he felt a surge of spiritual energy flowing into his blood vessels, like a raging torrent. His entire body felt as if it were boiling over.

Zhang Ruochin immediately activated the Nine Heavens Celestial Emperor Scripture, his true qi rapidly flowing through thirty-six meridians, completing a large cycle.

When Zhang Ruochin was running the , Kong Lan'you stared at him deeply, revealing a gaze that was both puzzled and complex.

"What exactly was inside the teapot Why had he benefited greatly just by inhaling the aroma of tea If he drank a sip, wouldn't it be even more incredible" Zhang Ruochin thought to himself.

Zhang Ruochin held back his doubts for the moment, walked to Kong Lan's opposite side, and sat down.

Kong Lan's eyelids lifted slightly, she glanced at Zhang Ruichen, and said, "A mere martial artist of the Tianji realm, dare you sit across from me and be on equal footing with me You have such audacity!"

Zhang Ruochin still seemed very relaxed, saying: "Senior invited me into the bamboo pavilion and asked me to have tea. Why wouldn't I dare sit down"

Even if Kong Lan's cultivation level is higher now, Zhang Ruichen would not be afraid of her. He still treats her as his cousin and has no pressure in his heart.

Even so, Zhang Ruochin still didn't intend to tell her the truth right now.

Once Kong Lan knew the truth, with her current cultivation level, experience, status, and intentions, she would definitely plan Zhang Ruochin's future, and even take him back to Mingtang.

If he were to return to the Mingtang, how would he interact with Kong Lanxu in the future

One is a young martial artist at the Tianji realm, while the other is a Mingtang Sacred Ancestor who has lived for over eight hundred years. The gap between the two is simply too great, it's impossible for them to be like they were eight hundred years ago when Kong Lan listened to him in everything.

Besides, Zhang Ruochin didn't want to reveal himself so quickly. He was a proud person deep down and had his own plans for his future cultivation path. He didn't want to rely on Kong Lan's and Mingtang's strength.

What should I tell her

Should I tell her or not

Suddenly, Zhang Ruochin's mind was flooded with countless thoughts.

Kǒng Lán Yōu seemed to be deep in thought, saying nothing more and falling silent.

Zhang Ruochin's hands came together, inhaling the aroma of tea, and operating his cultivation technique, he quickly began to cultivate.one missing!
