Chapter 26: You're All Going to Die

  "Brother Chu!" Zhuo Bu Fan and Li Yuan Yao's faces turned pale as they simultaneously cried out in surprise.

  It was unexpected that Chu Zhenhai, a veteran disciple of the fourth generation, would lose to Xia Chen so quickly.

  Suddenly, two swift and lawless figures flashed across the sky, radiating an intimidating aura. One of them seized Chu Zhenhai and swooped directly into the courtyard.

  Another figure struck out with a palm towards Xia Chen who was rushing over and said calmly: "Get down for me!"

  Xia Chen let out a loud cry, his whole body shook violently, and he fell straight down like a meteor, spitting out a mouthful of blood in mid-air before heavily crashing to the ground.

  That figure was like a falling leaf, silently and quietly landing in the courtyard, displaying extremely high-level footwork.

  Fang Qiu and the three others were shocked, never expecting things to take a turn for the worse. Just as Xia Chen was about to defeat Chu Zhen Hai, two figures suddenly appeared and struck him down, leaving him severely injured on the ground. Sun Li and Chen Lie rushed over to help Xia Chen up.

  "Senior Sister Yu, Senior Brother Wu! You've arrived." Zhuo Bufan and Li Yuan Yao were both surprised and delighted, hastily stepping forward to pay their respects.

  The figure that caught Chu Zhenhai was a middle-aged man with disheveled hair, who was Wu Feng in the eighth layer of the post-heavenly blood refining realm. He put down Chu Zhenhai and nodded towards Zhuo Bufan: "Zhuo Shidi, Li Shimei, are you two alright?"

  Chu Zhenhai's face turned pale as he clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Brother Wu, for your help. Otherwise, I would have lost to this little beast today. I'm useless, Brother, and couldn't complete Master's orders. It's truly shameful."

  Wu Feng said calmly, "This is not your fault. This guy has already reached the peak of the third stage of Houtian, and his cultivation is not much weaker than yours. Moreover, he has a strong ability to control his true energy. You underestimated him for a moment, and losing to him doesn't count as anything. I will help you regain this round."

  Zhuo Bu Fan let out a bitter laugh and said: "Wu Shixiong, Yu Shi Jie, I'm still fine for now. If you two don't come soon, I really won't know what to do."

  "It doesn't matter, as long as we're here, he's definitely going to die." The figure who had wounded Xia Chen said coldly. Her face was beautiful, her expression stern, and her short hair fluttered slightly - it was Yu Xiulian, who had reached the seventh level of the Back Heaven Refining Realm.

  Xia Chen's face turned pale as he stood up, feeling like his chest was burning with fire. Just now, Yu Xiulian's palm only used 30% of her strength, but her Seventh Heaven cultivation was far beyond Xia Chen's, and even 30% of her strength was not something Xia Chen could withstand.

  He took out several Yuanqi Dan and stuffed them into his mouth, mobilizing his true energy to heal his wounds. After a short while, he felt slightly better.

  "Xia Chen, are you going to give up your cultivation or wait for me to take action? If you dare to resist, I don't mind killing you on the spot." Yu Xiulian said calmly.

  "Haha, even the masters of the seventh and eighth levels have come out, all to deal with a new disciple. You really are taking Xiaochun seriously! But I'd like to ask, what right do you have to expel Xiaochun? The sect rules strictly forbid disciples from fighting among themselves. If you continue to do this, we can totally report it to the Sect Leader and Master Han. You won't be able to get away with it!" Sun Li said angrily, her face twisted in a mixture of rage and mockery.

  Zhuo Bufan said in a loud voice: "Xia Chen harbors evil intentions, the disciples of Donghua Sect came to exchange pointers, but he wanted to kill them. This shows that his heart is not on track and he intends to provoke conflict between our two sects. Everyone present has witnessed this with their own eyes, it's not fake. Just this one point is enough to abolish his cultivation, even killing him would be justified. Now that the four sects are meeting, the Sect Master and Elder Han are busy with affairs, as disciples of Zhengxuan Sect, we must uphold justice and maintain order, we cannot let this scourge destroy the friendship between the four sects again. You new disciples dare to assist Xia Chen in his evil deeds, you are guilty of the same crime, leave immediately or I will abolish all of you!"

  "You're just farting, Zhuo Bu Fan! Are you bullying us because we don't understand the rules? Don't even mention that Xia Chen is innocent. Even if he's guilty, he should report to the head of the sect and wait for the Law Enforcement Hall to investigate before taking action. Who do you think you are? You're just using the excuse of upholding justice to take revenge! It's just because Xia Chen is a Saint Body of Guyuan, growing extremely fast, and threatening your status!" Chen Lie shouted angrily.

  Zhuo Bu Fan's face changed color, unexpectedly this group of new disciples were clever and had actually seen through the truth.

  "We'll report this to Master Zhang immediately, I don't believe our sect still doesn't have any rules!" Fang Qiu said indignantly.

  "How dare you?" Zhuo Bu Fan's face was darker than ever.

  Wu Feng said calmly: "Zhuo Shidi, let them go. Our goal is to get rid of Xia Chen. These ants can't stir up any waves, and later you'll have plenty of chances to deal with them."

  Zhuo Bu Fan's eyes lit up and he said, "Yes, Wu Shixiong!"

  "If you want to roll, hurry up and leave Xia Chen behind." Yu Xiulian said coldly, "If anyone dares to stop me, I'll get rid of him too."

  "You!" Chen Lie and the other two were furious, but they didn't dare to make a move. The opponent's target was Xia Chen, and they didn't care about them at all. Now they couldn't stop it, nor could they leave, it was really like riding a tiger and finding it hard to get off.

  "Let's go, everyone. They want to deal with me, can't implicate you all." Xia Chen said lightly, he had been circulating his Qi to dissolve the medicinal pill and treat his injuries for half a day, feeling much better now.

  "Xia Chen, what nonsense are you talking about!" Chen Lie exclaimed, "We can't protect you, but we're your brothers and sisters. Even if it means death, we won't leave! You telling us to leave is just looking down on us!"

  "Xia Chen, we can't be your solid shield, but we will never let you face everything alone." Sun Li said softly, standing firmly beside Xia Chen.

  "Xia Chen, we are brothers, we are friends!" Fang Qiu didn't hesitate at all.

  "We are brothers, we are friends..." Xia Chen muttered to himself, his eyes suddenly becoming moist. He had never been one to show his emotions openly, but at this moment, he just wanted to let his tears flow freely.

  Witnessing this scene, Zhuo Bufan couldn't help but feel even more jealous. As a genius disciple, he should have been born to be a leader, and all the new disciples should have looked up to him with admiration. But time and again, Xia Chen stood in front of him like a mountain, blocking his way.

  Xia Chen, wait until I'm done with you, I'll make you wish you were dead, Zhuo Bu Fan thought viciously in his heart.

  "Xiulian, don't waste time, shoo away these annoying ants. After we're done with him, we still need to go back and report to Master. Be careful, the night is long and dreams are many." Wu Feng frowned and said.

  Yu Xiulian nodded and quickly approached him, reaching out to grab Xia Chen.

  "Stop!" Sun Li and Chen Lie, along with several other disciples, shouted in unison, blocking Xia Chen's path.

  "Get out!" Yu Xiulian said coldly, her true energy shaking, and before they could get close, she sent Sun Li and the others flying.

  Xia Chen remained still, in front of the seven-faced Yitian, no matter how he moved, it was all useless. Only his pair of eyes were staring coldly and unemotionally at Yu Xiulian. In the depths of his pupils, a crazy flame was burning.

  Suddenly, Yu Xiulian's hand stopped just a few inches away from Xia Chen's chest. Her body didn't dare to move because a slender finger, like a spring onion, was pressed against her back.

  In her slender fingers, a terrifying power was hidden, and even if she were a Seventh Heaven cultivator, she would be powerless to resist.

  "A clear and melodious voice rang out: 'Everyone is from the same school, there's no need to be so ruthless. Even if Xia Chen has made a great mistake, it shouldn't be up to you to ruin his cultivation. What do you think, Shifu, Wu Shidi?'"

  As the voice fell, a woman in white slowly walked out from behind Yu Xiulian. At this time, the sky had already darkened, and the clear moonlight shone on her absolutely beautiful face, like a dream, ethereal, elegant and unparalleled. She was Chen Qiushui, the number one disciple of the Later Heaven Sect!

  "Master Sister!" The crowd was shocked beyond measure. Wu Feng's face changed greatly, never expecting that Xia Chen, a small new disciple, would actually startle Chen Qiushui.

  Yu Xiulian didn't dare to make any sudden movements, and slowly backed away before turning around and calmly saying: "Elder sister, how did you get here? You never interfere with trivial matters."

  "What does it have to do with me? Are you telling me?" Chen Qiushui said calmly, his tone domineering and overbearing.

  Yu Xiulian's face changed: "Elder sister, you are a clever person. You are now at the tenth level of Houtian, just one step away from breaking through to the Shentong realm. You should focus on cultivating quietly, why bother with this muddy water? If you leave, I think my master will be very happy and will also help you break through with all his might. Wouldn't that be good?" Her words were double-edged, with a hint of threat.

  "I don't need you to teach me what to do, I've always acted as I pleased. If I had hesitated and deliberated, I wouldn't have reached my current level of cultivation. You can leave now, I will never let you harm Xia Chen." Chen Qiushui said coldly.

  Yu Xiulian's face turned ugly, she was taught by Chen Qiushui for the first time, and she was extremely resentful in her heart, but she didn't dare say a word. In front of Chen Qiushui, she was no different from Xia Chen in front of her, and the gap was even bigger.

  Wu Feng's face was equally ugly, and he could have easily defeated Xia Chen, but unexpectedly Chen Qiushui appeared out of nowhere, and the situation had already lost control. In two days, even if he joined forces with Yu Xiulian, they would still be far from being a match for him.

  Could it be just a retreat? The two looked at each other and felt unwilling in their hearts.

  The scene was momentarily frozen.

  "Master sister is really good at leisure, if there's nothing else to do, why don't junior sister invite you for a cup of quiet tea? Besides, I have many questions about cultivation that I want to ask Master sister alone." Suddenly, another woman's voice sounded.

  Under the moonlight, a purple figure fell into the courtyard, looking as dazzling as lightning.

  "Fang Shi Jie!" Yu Xiulian and others were both shocked and delighted at the same time.

  The day after tomorrow will be overcast with nine layers of clouds, and then it will clear up!

  In the blink of an eye, this small courtyard had gathered four powerful disciples with cultivation above Seventh Heaven.

  Fang Ziqing stood between Xia Chen and Chen Qiushui, unintentionally separating the two. With a smile on his face, he looked at Chen Qiushui: "Sister, what do you think of my suggestion? If you agree, I'll have Sister Xia accompany you in leaving."

  Chen Qiushui's face remained unchanged, but his eyes were stern: "Fang Ziqing, you and I have always had a good relationship. Do you really want to stop me? You can't stop me."

  "Sorry, Big Sister. A master's orders are hard to defy!" said Fang Ziqing, "I certainly can't stop you, but just delaying you for a few breaths will be enough."

  "She suddenly turned her head towards Yu Xiulian and shouted: 'Hurry up and get rid of him!'"

  "Yes, Master Fang's sister!" Yu Xiulian reacted extremely quickly. She let out a cold laugh and her five fingers became like hooks as she fiercely clawed at Xia Chen's chest with all her might, aiming to completely disable him in one strike.

  Chen Qiushui's expression finally changed. Even if she was invincible, it was impossible for her to break through Fang Ziqing's defense in just a few breaths. Was she going to watch as Xia Chen was abolished?

  This absolutely beautiful and powerful woman felt a sense of anxious helplessness for the first time.

  "Stop!" Chen Lie and the other two shouted in unison, but they were unable to stop him.

  At this moment, Xia Chen suddenly stretched out his palm, and in the center of his palm, there were four thumb-sized dark green dan medicines.

  "You're all going to die!" Xia Chen's icy voice was like that of a god of death, instantly echoing throughout the entire courtyard.
