If he wanted to find a few real enemies for himself, he had to choose carefully.
He couldn't choose opponents who were too strong or too weak.
With Zhang Dongyun's current appearance, he was almost a celebrity in Chang 'an, although he rarely showed up in public.
His public identity was an old friend of the Lord of Chang 'an.
When Mr. Dark Cloud and the others saw him, they all had to salute him.
In their minds, Senior Zhang's status was more transcendent and mysterious than the three well-known masters.
If they asked Hu Ming, Hu Yingjie, Gu Hechuan, and other people who had surrendered to Chang 'an to fight, they wouldn't be able to do anything at all.
Those who didn't know Senior Zhang well would think that he was too powerful and would be killed in one move.
Those who could see that Senior Zhang was reincarnated and re-cultivated didn't dare to risk their lives to fight him. They were afraid that they would be in serious trouble if something went wrong.
Therefore, Zhang Dongyun finally chose some captives in Chang 'an as his targets.
Those who had lost their fighting spirit were hesitant about whether to surrender completely, which was definitely not suitable.
If he wanted to find someone, he should find someone who was not convinced and still had fighting spirit.
"His Majesty has the virtue of cherishing life and is always magnanimous."
Mr. Dark Cloud glanced at the captives and said, "Since you've worked hard, I won't hesitate to give you a chance. As long as someone can defeat Mr. Zhang by one or two moves, he can regain his freedom."
As he spoke, he waved his hand slightly to the side, letting Zhang Dongyun appear in front of everyone.
The captives present were all shocked and then looked at Zhang Dongyun.
For a moment, no one spoke. Only a dozen pairs of eyes kept blinking.
At this time, a voice suddenly sounded.
"You don't have to make it sound so nice. We were humiliated here because you forced us. We didn't do it willingly."
The one who spoke was a young woman. "You two are here just to amuse us and let Mr. Zhang test his moves."
Zhang Dongyun and Mr. Dark Cloud both looked calm.
The old man in black looked at him. "Yang Yulin, a disciple of Misty Sky Peak of Northern Qi, a martial artist in the Sixth Realm."
Yang Yulin said solemnly, "That's right."
"Mister Zhang is His Majesty's old friend, but he's currently reincarnated and re-cultivated. Like you, he's at the Sixth Realm." Mister Dark Cloud said faintly, "I don't need to provoke a junior like you. I'll just say one sentence. The promise I made earlier is still valid. Those who are willing to challenge me, step out now. This is your only chance."
Mr. Dark Cloud's projection pretended to look at Zhang Dongyun next to him.
Zhang Dongyun smiled. "Give them some time to consider."
Mr. Dark Cloud nodded and looked at Yang Yulin and the others again. "From now on, you have ten breaths of time. I won't wait any longer."
Before he could finish his sentence, Yang Yulin spoke up, "I'll do it."
Mr Dark Cloud looked at her.
Yang Yulin said in a deep voice, "Whether I win or lose, I want to compete with you people from Chang 'an again!"
Mr. Dark Cloud turned to look at Zhang Dongyun.
Zhang Dongyun nodded. "Sure."
Mr. Dark Cloud stepped aside. "I won't interfere. Both sides can fight to their hearts' content."
Yang Yulin looked at a Hanshan school disciple who was in charge of guarding the side. Her gaze fell on the long sword at the disciple's waist.
The Hanshan school disciple glanced at Mr. Dark Cloud. Seeing that the old man didn't object, he took off the long sword and the scabbard and tossed them to Yang Yulin.
Yang Yulin unsheathed the sword. With the sword in hand, her aura suddenly changed.
She could feel that the invisible restraints on her body had disappeared.
She had never felt so refreshed in the past few days.
She held the sword in front of her chest and looked at Zhang Dongyun in front of her. "Please."
Zhang Dongyun looked at her from head to toe. "You're not going to attack?"
"No matter what your purpose is, you're giving me another chance to fight today."
Yang Yulin stood still. "I should let you attack first."
Of course, she didn't mean to let Zhang Dongyun attack first.
Both of them were at the Sixth Realm. She didn't have the confidence to do so. She was just letting him attack first.
Although she let him attack first, her sword aura had already condensed, and a faint mist had already appeared around her body.
When the other prisoners in the distance saw this, they looked even more nervous than Yang Yulin herself.
Yang Yulin had the highest cultivation level and was the strongest in this group of people.
If she couldn't win, then the others couldn't either.
In fact, the opponent that Zhang Dongyun wanted to pick was her …
Considering the cultivation level and strength of this group of prisoners and Yang Yulin's personality, she was the only one who dared to be the first to challenge him.
Hearing Yang Yulin's words, Zhang Dongyun nodded. "Alright."
Then, he raised his hand and clenched his fingers into a fist.
Yang Yulin was on high alert.
Although she let him attack first, she was actually prepared to figure out the other party's origin and control him from behind.
However, in the next moment, her vision suddenly blurred.
Before she could react, Zhang Dongyun was already in front of her.
Almost reflexively, Yang Yulin slashed out with her sword, stirring up the surrounding sword aura clouds to meet the incoming person.
However, there seemed to be a series of thunderbolts exploding in the air.
Thunder and lightning seemed to surge around Zhang Dongyun.
Moreover, it was more ferocious, more violent, and more violent than any thunder Yang Yulin had ever seen in her life.
… It was like a Heavenly Tribulation.
The sword aura clouds couldn't even get close to Zhang Dongyun's body.
The sword in Yang Yulin's hand also froze in mid-air, unable to descend anymore.
She stood in a daze, her eyes wide open.
A fist appeared between her chest and abdomen.
In the next moment, she flew out and fell between the mountains. She kept rolling and finally crashed into the roots of a thick ancient tree.
The sword in her hand flew out and landed right in front of the sword's original owner.
The Hanshan school disciple was stunned and quickly caught it.
On the other hand, the genius disciple of Misty Sky Peak saw stars. He only felt that all the bones in his body were broken.
Yang Yulin struggled to turn over, lying on the ground, and looked up at Zhang Dongyun with difficulty.
Just as she was about to speak, she let out a breath. Her vision turned black, and she passed out on the spot.
Zhang Dongyun withdrew his fist, deep in thought.
Mr. Dark Cloud waved his hand, and a drop of sweet dew fell on Yang Yulin's body.
Her breathing immediately stabilized. She wouldn't die from her serious injuries.
"Send her back to the dungeon of the Heavenly Punishment Palace," Mr. Dark Cloud ordered.
The Hanshan school disciple sheathed his sword and hurriedly replied, "Yes, sir."
The other prisoners were dumbfounded.
Cultivators who could become prisoners in Chang 'an City weren't nobodies. Most of them were descendants of famous sects in Eastern Tang and Northern Qi.
They had all learned about Yang Yulin's strength these days.
As a young genius nurtured by Misty Sky Peak, she had reached the Sixth Realm at such a young age. It was rare even in Eastern Tang and Northern Qi.
Her strength was definitely one of the best among the Sixth Realm cultivators.
Even a Seventh Realm master would have a hard time knocking her out with one move.
Could it be that Mr. Dark Cloud secretly attacked just now and restrained Yang Yulin so that she became a live target?
Did Mr. Dark Cloud and that Zhang guy really come here to make fun of them?
Everyone was shocked and doubtful.
But even they had to admit that although Chang 'an City made them do manual labor and humiliated them, it wasn't to this extent.
So that Zhang guy wasn't just at the Sixth Realm?
That wasn't right. Although his Blood Qi was like thunder, it wasn't the murderous aura of a Seventh Realm martial artist or the murderous aura of an Eighth Realm martial artist. It was indeed the aura of a Sixth Realm martial artist.
But he sent Yang Yulin, who was also at the Sixth Realm, flying with one move!
What happened just now?
In fact, not only were the mortals shocked, but even the relaxed Chang 'an City guards were all dumbfounded and stunned.
Zhang Dongyun didn't say much. He left with Mr. Dark Cloud's projection.
The onlookers were shocked, but Zhang Dongyun himself wasn't very surprised. He could only say that his previous prediction was confirmed.
The Evil Emperor's Evil Emperor's Sutra was indeed a supreme treasure that far surpassed the martial arts of Eastern Tang and Northern Qi.
Even the Northern Qi royal family's Heavenly Frost Palm and Eastern Tang royalty's Heaven Punishing Battle Aura and Battle King Fist couldn't compare to his Evil Tribulation Fist.
After Zhang Dongyun further perfected it with the Invincible City system, he, who had mastered it, seemed to be at the Sixth Realm like Yang Yulin, but they were actually two completely different concepts.
In his eyes, Yang Yulin's sword move just now was full of flaws.
It was also the aura of weapons, but his Evil Tribulation Fist turned his Blood Qi into Thunder Tribulation and instantly shattered the opponent's sword aura.
It seemed like a violent scene, but in reality, it was his boundless strength that attacked the opponent's flaws. Wasn't that enough to end the battle in one hit?
Therefore, in the eyes of others, Yang Yulin, who was also at the Sixth Realm, was sent flying by his punch.
From this perspective, it was still a mistake.
The Yang Yulin he chose was too weak to prove his martial arts.
Thinking of this, he changed his target.
A Seventh Realm martial artist.
However, Zhang Dongyun didn't look for Yang Yulin's senior, Wang Ning. Instead, he looked for another clan.
The elder of the Zheng family, Zheng Yuan.
The Zheng family's martial arts, Mountain Shaking Energy and Mountain Pushing Palm, were known for their strength and belonged to the type with very obvious strengths.
Therefore, Zhang Dongyun looked for Zheng Yuan.
"Are you serious?" Zheng Yuan stared at Mr. Dark Cloud.
Mr. Dark Cloud said calmly, "You're not worth lying to."
Zheng Yuan didn't feel belittled. Instead, he nodded and turned to look at Zhang Dongyun.
Zhang Dongyun looked at him and smiled.
Zheng Yuan took a deep breath and stepped forward.
Soaring murderous aura gathered on his body. It didn't seem fierce, but it was extremely heavy and seemed unstoppable.
It was like a mountain falling from the sky and pressing down on Zhang Dongyun.
Under the intimidating murderous aura, the surrounding prisoners and guards all trembled in fear.
Facing the murderous aura, Zhang Dongyun silently activated his mental cultivation technique.
The Earth Manifestation Palace's Earth Heart Imprint recorded in the Evil Emperor Sutra came into effect.
His mind was as steady as the ground, as if it could withstand all chaos.
The murderous aura's attack on the mind was completely ineffective on Zhang Dongyun at this moment.
Then, Zheng Yuan took a few steps and stood in front of Zhang Dongyun.
It didn't seem fast, but it was earth-shattering and as violent as thunder.
Zheng Yuan walked until they were only three steps away from each other before he pushed his palm out.
The air between the two of them seemed to explode.
The palm seemed to be able to push down a mountain by itself.
However, this earth-shattering palm was blocked by another fist.
Zhang Dongyun's fist.
Therefore, the palm could no longer move forward.
