Su Chen looked at the name list pasted on the side of the square. His gaze swept across the 39 people who had been eliminated in the first round. Almost half of them had been eliminated.

‘The number of disciples from the sect master’s branch advancing to the second round is quite high…’ Su Chen thought to himself.

Of course, he was not surprised. After all, the sect master’s lineage had more outstanding disciples than the other branches.

“Luo Feng… not a bad opponent!” Su Chen looked at a name on the list and said lightly.

As soon as he said this, the disciples next to him were shocked. Su Chen regarded Luo Feng as someone he could defeat?

However, when they thought of the strength that Su Chen had displayed today, they were not so surprised.

With Su Chen’s strength, he had defeated Wang Yuzhe. He was completely qualified to challenge Luo Feng, and even get the first place among the younger generation of disciples.

After reading the list, Su Chen walked out of the square under everyone’s gaze. He immediately left Pure Yang Peak and headed straight for Tempered Spirit Peak.

Tomorrow would be a tough battle. Today’s battle was very enjoyable, but he had offended the Pill Peak branch. As long as he was strong enough, he did not have to fear anyone.

Today’s battle with Wang Yuzhe had given Su Chen some insights. He planned to use a night to digest his insights today.

Although there was only one night, if he could gain some insight, he might be able to break through his current realm and take another step forward.

At the same time, a person walked out of a wooden house in the forest behind Pure Yang Peak.

The sun had already disappeared into the mountains. There were still a few clouds dyed red by the setting sun, floating in the western sky. The forest behind Pure Yang Peak was already shrouded in mist, making it seem a little dark and mysterious.

After this person came out of the wooden house, it was as if he really wanted to leave this place. He quickly walked along the path in front of the wooden house towards the outside of the forest.

After leaving the forest, that person suddenly stopped and turned around to look at the small house in the forest. He muttered, “Hmph! He actually asked me not to go and cause trouble for Su Chen? Truly detestable!”

The dim light shone on this person’s face. He was Wang Yucheng, who had been invited by Luo Feng.

At this moment, his face was ice-cold as he continued walking forward.

When Wang Yucheng’s figure disappeared at the end of the path, the wooden door of the wooden house in the sea of trees was opened again, and a white-clothed youth walked out.

This was an ordinary-looking youth. He did not have a handsome face or a tall figure. He was a very ordinary youth who would not attract the attention of others if he stood in the crowd.

However, this ordinary-looking young man was the eldest senior brother of the younger generation of the Pure Yang sect, Luo Feng. Although he did not look outstanding, no one dared to look down on him.

Luo Feng looked in the direction where Wang Yucheng had disappeared and sighed. “I hope Wang Yucheng can wake up. If he goes looking for trouble with Su Chen again, his life might be in danger!”

“A person like Su Chen is determined to advance bravely on the path of immortal cultivation, but he does not leave any room for exaggeration. Today, how he dealt with his opponent Wang Yuzhe in the arena showed that he is a decisive person. If Wang Yucheng really goes to provoke Su Chen, I’m afraid that something big will happen.”

A person like Luo Feng was naturally not focused on cultivating in the forest at the back of the mountain. As the eldest senior brother of the Pure Yang Sect’s nine branches, he would definitely pay attention to the matters that he should know about. Meanwhile, he could not be bothered to pay attention to what he should not know.

Luo Feng shook his head and sighed. Then, he turned around and closed the door. There were no lights or movement inside. The forest became quiet, and no sound could be heard.

…

Su Chen, who had left the Pure Yang Peak, ran hundreds of miles on the rugged mountain road with his upper body bare. He returned to the outside of the Tempered Spirit Peak’s medicinal garden.

Su Chen took a deep breath. The faint medicinal fragrance drifted into his nose, making him feel refreshed. “It’s good to be home!”

Just as Su Chen was about to enter the medicinal garden, he felt that something was off. He froze mid-movement, his raised right foot had yet to step down.

Suddenly, he felt a chill all over his body. After that, all the hair on his body exploded, and his entire body became alert.

He felt as if he was being watched by a terrifying demonic beast in the dark.

“Not good!”

Su Chen was greatly alarmed. All the muscles and bones in his body suddenly contracted, and his joints immediately burst out with a dense friction sound. When his muscles and bones trembled, a huge wave of essence energy undulated out of his body. The violent vibration of the air caused a strong wind to spread in all directions in an instant. The leaves on the ground were shaken until they soared into the sky, and the leaves flew all over the sky.

All of this happened in an instant. At this moment, Su Chen had already caught sight of several abnormal-looking withered branches.

The branches had been sharpened and silently rushed out from the medicinal garden at high speed. They were fast and quiet.

“Ha!”

Su Chen’s raised right foot suddenly stomped on the ground. With a bang, he left an afterimage on the spot and retreated rapidly.

However, Su Chen had still underestimated the speed of the tree branches that shot out from the medicinal garden at high speed. When those tree branches flew over, it gave people the illusion that they were very slow, but in reality, they were so fast that it was hard to imagine. They had definitely exceeded Su Chen’s expectations.

Just as he stood up and retreated, the dense branches in front of him instantly rushed in front of him.

“Damn it!”

Su Chen was shocked. Before he could cover his eyes with his hands, he felt a piercing pain on his body, as if he had been hit by a sharp steel pipe by a samurai. Each branch contained a huge impact force that sent Su Chen flying 30 meters away.

Su Chen felt as if he had been hit by a thousand-pound hammer. His entire body felt as if it was about to fall apart. His muscles and bones instantly felt weak.

Boom!

A loud sound rang out. Su Chen was smashed into a forest behind him. That small forest was instantly smashed into a large pit. Broken branches and leaves flew into the air and dust flew everywhere.

At this moment, a black figure slowly walked out of the medicinal garden.

This black-clothed person was wearing a black robe from head to toe. From his appearance, it was impossible to determine whether this person was male or female, old or young.

This black-clothed person’s eyes were exposed, emitting unconcealed killing intent. From the looks of it, he was here to kill Su Chen.

Bang!

Su Chen shook off the soil on his body and rushed out of the pit. His entire body was emitting a five-colored light, exuding a powerful aura.

“Huh?” The black-clothed man was clearly shocked. He seemed to be a little surprised that Su Chen did not receive any damage under his attack.

Su Chen gritted his teeth. His eyes emitted a sharp light as he swept his gaze over the person in front of him. There was actually someone here to intercept and kill him.

Was this person an expert who was bold, or was he crazy? This was the Pure Yang sect’s territory. was he not afraid of alerting the experts in the Pure Yang sect?

The black-clothed person did not say any nonsense. He snorted coldly and formed a mysterious seal with his hands. Vast spiritual power fluctuations instantly surged out from the black-clothed person’s body. Following that, the mountain rocks scattered around him immediately flew up, engulfed with hot flames. They turned into shooting stars and smashed towards Su Chen.

When Su Chen saw this scene, his pupils constricted. This person’s cultivation technique was truly astonishing. Before the rocks that were emitting scorching flames arrived in front of him, a terrifying wave of heat had already washed over Su Chen’s body.

This wave of heat was not simple. It made him feel as if he had entered magma. The heat entered into his body as if it was going to ignite him.

Su Chen felt a great danger from the black-clothed man. He did not dare to underestimate the man, and he crouched down, as if he had transformed into a fierce tiger.

The black figure revealed a trace of surprise in his eyes.

Bang!

Su Chen’s feet suddenly stomped on the ground, and his entire body was like a fierce tiger, sticking close to the ground as he charged towards the black-clothed man.

Rumble…

A loud sound rang out.

The flaming rocks that were flying towards Su Chen from all directions exploded the moment Su Chen charged out. The terrifying heatwave burnt everything within a ten-meter radius into ashes.

At this moment, Su Chen had already charged towards the black-clothed man with his Tiger Movement. He immediately spread his arms and used a fierce tiger hug, attempting to strangle the black-clothed man to death.

Su Chen’s snarl was fierce, but he felt that he was actually brought up into the air. After that, the black-robed man disappeared in the air. This was actually just an illusory figure!
