This was because the Peak Master was at least a peak Medial Grade Martial King. Unless they were demonic geniuses, very few disciples could successfully challenge them.
Only Liu Ruyue was an exception. Due to her father's special circumstances, she inherited the position of Peak Master early.
Liu Suifeng said, "This is also why my elder sister cultivates so desperately. In the past few years, my elder sister received a total of three challenges and defeated them all. However, she did not expect Murong Chong to challenge her this time."
Xiao Chen frowned and said, "Is Murong Chong very strong? With Liu Ruyue's strength, could she not be a match for him? "
Liu Suifeng said sullenly, "He is very strong. Three years ago, when he left Qingyun Peak, he only lost to my elder sister by one move. Three years later, my elder sister is no longer confident of winning."
Xiao Chen said doubtfully, "If Elder Sister Ruyue is injured, doesn't that mean Murong Chong will win?"
Liu Suifeng glanced at Xiao Chen and said, "No. According to tradition, when the master is injured, the disciple will replace him. So, the task of protecting Qingyun Peak will be handed to you."
When Xiao Chen heard this, he was slightly stunned. However, he was not surprised. He finally understood why those disciples had such a big reaction when they saw him.
However, honestly speaking, Xiao Chen did not have much confidence against Murong Chong. When he executed the Clear Wind Chop at the foot of the mountain, it was clear that he had improved. His comprehension of the state of wind had completely fooled Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen got up and said, "Never mind, let's not think about this. I'll go and check on Elder Sister Ruyue first."
There was no point in thinking too much. It was better to check on Liu Ruyue's injuries first.
Liu Suifeng stopped Xiao Chen and said, "Wait a while. She just fell asleep and has not eaten much in the past few days. Let her rest first."
When Xiao Chen heard this, he felt an indescribable pain in his heart. He nodded silently. After Liu Suifeng left, Xiao Chen dealt with his injuries and started to meditate to recover to his peak.
However, no matter what, he could not calm down. If this continued, he might end up in a state of Berserking Qi Deviation.
Xiao Chen felt helpless. He could only get up and stop cultivating, sitting alone in the courtyard.
In the huge courtyard, Xiao Chen took out the Tendon Refining Flower from the Universe Ring. There was a faint smile on his face. It seemed like everything was going according to the will of the heavens.
When he was in the Devil Savanna, he had just obtained the Tendon Refining Flower. However, before he could consume it, he received the news of Liu Ruyue's meridians being severed.
However, the Tendon Refining Flower could not heal the meridians. If the nine major meridians in the human body were also broken, then even God Daluo would not be able to recover.
Liu Suifeng had left in a hurry; he had not thought of this problem earlier. At this moment, Xiao Chen could not help but feel conflicted again. This was probably the reason why he could not calm down completely earlier.
Chen: Xiao Long, Shen, Sun, Were Liu Chen Su i a few words.
"Xiao" Xiao Chen. "Long" King, he "Long" s "I Of Liu, he Chen, I," Liu, "Su,", Chen, "to say, he,.,."
"What exactly is the reason?" Xiao Chen looked at the distant red clouds in the sky, his face filled with confusion.
"Never mind, I'm not going to think about it." Xiao Chen shook his head and sighed. If I can't figure it out, I'll put it aside for now. I will understand it one day. "
He would not get an answer if he kept thinking about it. This was Xiao Chen's usual way of doing things. However, at this moment, he told himself not to think about it. His thoughts were in a mess; he could not calm down no matter what.
Xiao Chen's usual determination and calmness were all useless at this moment.
Xiao Chen just sat on the stone table as night slowly fell. Finally, Xiao Chen could no longer endure it. He pushed off the ground and leaped over the high wall, heading for Liu Ruyue's courtyard.
Under the illumination of the bright moonlight, Xiao Chen soon arrived at Liu Ruyue's courtyard. He hesitated for a while before Xiao Chen pushed the door open and entered.
"Ye Chen! When did you come back? "
The moment Xiao Chen stepped into the courtyard, he saw Liu Ruyue wearing a white dress. She had a haggard expression as she sat at the table in the courtyard. When she saw Xiao Chen, she revealed a faint smile on her pale face.
The moonlight shone on Liu Ruyue's graceful figure. Her white dress and pale face made Liu Ruyue's originally flirtatious temperament appear very weak.
This was the first time Xiao Chen saw Liu Ruyue wearing a dress. In the past, every time he saw Liu Ruyue, she would be wearing female cultivator robes.
Under her flirtatious appearance, she gave off a strong and decisive feeling. There was nothing that could defeat her; she was always filled with passion.
The contrast was so great that Xiao Chen was not used to it. For a moment, he forgot his purpose in coming here and did not know how to respond.
Liu Ruyue looked at Xiao Chen outside the door. Suddenly, her expression changed. She got up and walked over to Xiao Chen, "Ye Chen, are you injured?"
Xiao Chen recovered his wits and quickly said, "It's just a small injury, it's not a big deal!"
Liu Ruyue's expression sank. She said, "Don't lie to me. Although I no longer have my cultivation, I still have some eyesight. Let me take a look."
Xiao Chen felt ashamed in his heart. He quickly stepped back and said, "I'm really fine. Elder Sister Ruyue, let me take a look at your injuries first."
Liu Ruyue placed her hand on Xiao Chen's chest and felt the location of the wound. Her expression changed as she said, "The wound is only two centimeters away from your heart. If it was any closer, you would have died. This is just a small injury, who did this?"
Xiao Chen smiled faintly. Naturally, he could not tell Liu Ruyue the truth. He said, "The bandits of the Devil Savanna. However, I have always been very lucky. I will not die so easily."
Walking behind Liu Ruyue, Xiao Chen placed his right hand on her shoulder. Liu Ruyue's body trembled slightly, but she quickly calmed down.
Xiao Chen's Essence flowed into Liu Ruyue's body through his right hand. The Essence circulated through Liu Ruyue's nine major meridians before Xiao Chen let go. He heaved a sigh of relief.
Liu Ruyue turned around and smiled faintly, "I am now a cripple. In the future, I will not be able to guide you in Martial Techniques."
Xiao Chen shook his head and took out the Tendon Refining Flower from the Universe Ring. He said, "That might not be the case. Look at this."
"Tendon Refining Flower?" Liu Ruyue said in astonishment, "Where did you get this?"
It had to be known that injuries to a cultivator's meridians were the most difficult to treat. Normally, when the meridians were damaged, they would need to be nurtured for a long time before they could be treated.
As for Liu Ruyue, aside from some peak-grade Immortal Herbs, normal Medicinal Pills for treating meridians would not have any effect on her.
However, peak-grade Immortal Herbs could only be found and not sought. Hence, the only thing that could help her was this Tendon Refining Flower.
Although the Tendon Refining Flower's rank was not high, it was extremely rare. It took a long time to mature as well. Even in some auctions, it was difficult to obtain. This was because the moment it appeared, it would be snatched up.
Hence, Liu Ruyue was very astonished at how Xiao Chen obtained it.
Xiao Chen did not answer this question directly. He smiled gently and said, "Your nine major meridians are not really injured. With this Tendon Refining Flower, your meridians should be able to recover in a month. Furthermore, the toughness of your meridians will improve."
Liu Ruyue revealed a joyful expression when she received the Tendon Refining Flower. However, she immediately turned sad. She said, "I still cannot make it in time for Murong Chong's appointment in a month. In the end, I am still too late."
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and said, "You don't believe in my strength?"
When Liu Ruyue heard this, she was slightly stunned. She remembered when she first met Xiao Chen. At that time, she could easily defeat him.
However, in the short span of half a year, Xiao Chen's cultivation had risen from Martial Grand Master to Medial Grade Martial Saint. His combat prowess was comparable to an Inferior Grade Martial King.
With such talent, he was no weaker than Murong Chong. Unfortunately, he was still too slow. The time he had to grow was too short.
Furthermore, the battle between the two of them was not an ordinary exchange of pointers. It was a battle to the death. However, given Murong Chong's character, Liu Ruyue was very clear that he would not leave a path of retreat for himself. Xiao Chen would be in great danger.
"Just recuperate in peace. No matter what, I will help you protect Qingyun Peak. This is because I am also a member of Qingyun Peak. I will take my leave first," Xiao Chen said with a serious expression.
Right after Xiao Chen spoke, he turned and left. Just as he was about to step out of the courtyard, Liu Ruyue said softly, "Ye Chen, thank you."
Xiao Chen paused for a while and smiled faintly. Then, he increased his speed and left this place.
After returning to his courtyard, Xiao Chen sat cross-legged on his bed and immediately circulated his Essence to treat his injuries.
This time, his heart was as calm as still water; there were no ripples at all. His mind was clear as he slowly circulated his Essence to treat the sword wound on his chest.
Xiao Chen's physical body was very strong. After a few rounds of tempering and the assistance of the Seven Leaf Flower, his recovery ability had reached a considerable level.
The wound did not pierce through his chest. As long as Xiao Chen had time to calm down, he would be able to recover in less than twenty-four hours.
Two days later, Xiao Chen's chest wound had completely recovered. During this period of time, Liu Suifeng came over once. He had brought a lot of superior quality healing medicine from Jade Maiden Peak. Xiao Chen did not know whether to laugh or cry.
Xiao Chen's injuries were actually not serious. He had nearly injured his heart. However, it was still a close call. Xiao Chen's vital areas were not severely injured. He only needed to use his Essence to nourish himself for a period of time. There was no need for so much healing medicine.
After not going out for two days, Xiao Chen got up and pushed open the door. The sunlight shone on his face as the fresh air assaulted his face. He immediately felt refreshed and relaxed.
"The fifteenth … there is still one more week to go. Murong Chong already knows most of my trump cards. However, I do not know much about Murong Chong's trump cards."
"I have to practice the three sure-kill moves of the Wukui Saber Technique and turn them into new trump cards. Otherwise, I will not have any chance of victory. I can also modify the Rushing Thunder Roars. I can change it from a group attacking Martial Technique to a single target Martial Technique. I can also use it as a trump card."
Xiao Chen muttered to himself as he looked into the distance at the bright and beautiful sky.
After thinking about it, Xiao Chen went over the walls of the courtyard and headed for the back mountain of Qingyun Peak. There were not many people in the entire Qingyun Peak. Thus, the vast back mountain was very quiet. It was very suitable for Xiao Chen's requirements.
Arriving at an empty space, Xiao Chen practiced the first three moves of the Wukui Saber Technique.
"Glittering Wukui!"
The saber flashed nine times in the air. Suddenly, nine purple branches of the divine Wukui Tree appeared. The branches moved like lightning, moving chaotically in the air. They tore through space and left behind marks.
