142: Challenge Ye Chen

Lu Xingchen sneered.

“Ye Chen, is it? An old acquaintance. Even if he’s not just a Saint’s follower, but the Saint himself, I won’t let him off easily!”

Li Fei sighed lightly, a bitter smile on his Face, “I can’t persuade you. Just make sure you think it through.”

Half an hour later, the two arrived at the Ten Thousand Medicines Hall.

In a room, Lu Xingchen saw Jiang E lying on the bed.

Jiang E’s Face was pale, bloodstains still lingered at the corners of her mouth, and her right arm was bandaged.

Lu Xingchen hastily took out a fifth-grade rejuvenation pill and handed it to Jiang E.

Jiang E waved her hand, saying softly, “Junior Brother Lu, it’s not needed. I’ve already taken a rejuvenation pill.”

Lu Xingchen said in a deep voice, “How is it, Senior Sister Jiang E, is the injury serious?”

Jiang E nodded slightly, “It’s a bit troublesome. The internal injuries are recovering quickly with the help of the rejuvenation pill, but Ye Chen broke my right hand, and it will take at least a month to recover.”

Lu Xingchen nodded slightly, “Alright, Senior Sister Jiang E, you rest well. I’ll go avenge you!”

Hearing this, Jiang E’s expression changed, and she quickly reached out her left hand to grab Lu Xingchen.

“Junior Brother Lu, what are you planning to do?”

Lu Xingchen said in a deep voice, “Since Ye Chen broke your right hand, I’ll go break his right hand too.”

Jiang E said anxiously, “Junior Brother Lu, don’t be impulsive! Besides Ye Chen’s own formidable strength, he also has the identity of a Saint’s follower. We can’t afford to provoke him.”

Lu Xingchen smiled faintly, “Ye Chen isn’t the only one with connections. The identity of a Saint’s follower can’t suppress me!”

Long Chen, who was standing beside them, stepped forward and said, “I’ll go with you. My elder brother, Long Yang, is the sixth rank on the heaven ranking, so even the Saint will give me some Face.”

Lu Xingchen nodded slightly, “Alright, we’ll go together!”

With that, the two left the Ten Thousand Medicines Hall together and headed towards Ye Chen’s Immortal Cave.

Arriving at the Sixteenth Peak where Ye Chen’s Immortal Cave was located, Lu Xingchen amplified his voice with Dou Qi and shouted, “Ye Chen, get out here!”

The sound echoed throughout the entire Sixteenth Peak, reverberating for a long time.

Ye Chen hadn’t come out yet, but the other Disciples on the Sixteenth Peak had already gathered.

“Damn, who is that guy? So arrogant! He actually dares to call out Ye Chen in such a tone. Ye Chen is an expert at the eighth rank on the heaven ranking, one of the top Inner Sect Disciples!”

“A new Face, isn’t he one of those four Disciples who just entered the Inner Sect? I heard that the four Disciples who entered this year all over-fulfilled the Inner Sect assessment and received extra rewards.”

“He certainly has some skill. But he can’t possibly think that just because of that he can challenge Ye Chen, can he? Ye Chen is the eighth rank on the heaven ranking!”

“Speaking of which, those two just entered the sect, they probably don’t even know who Ye Chen is, so how could they have a grudge against him?”

“I know, I know! It seems Ye Chen injured the new Disciple Jiang E at the market, and Lu Xingchen must be here to avenge Jiang E.”

“Ye Chen bullying the weak is indeed wrong. But on the Tianyuan Continent, the fist is the ultimate truth. It would be better if Lu Xingchen endured it. Now, actively provoking Ye Chen is completely digging his own grave!”

Unbeknownst to them, dozens of Inner Sect Disciples had gathered at the foot of the Sixteenth Peak.

Not only those from the Sixteenth Peak, but also Disciples from other peaks who heard the news rushed over.

One must know that the entire Inner Sect only had a little over a hundred Disciples.

Lu Xingchen’s shout had called out more than half of the Inner Sect Disciples!

A quarter of an hour later, Ye Chen spread his Dou Qi Wings and flew down from the peak.

As soon as he saw Lu Xingchen, he immediately understood the other party’s intention and revealed a disdainful smile.

“Lu Xingchen, long time no see. What, are you here to avenge that little girl?”

Lu Xingchen snorted coldly.

“Since you’ve already figured it out, then let’s go to the Martial Arts Field! I want you to know that even new Disciples are not to be bullied casually.”

Ye Chen nodded slightly, “Alright, I’ll fight you. But just fighting is boring, let’s make a bet. If you lose, you can’t sell the Medicinal Pills you refine within the Cangxuan Sect.”

Hearing this, Lu Xingchen frowned.

The condition Ye Chen proposed was quite malicious.

He relied entirely on refining Medicinal Pills to obtain enough spirit value to Cultivate in the Spirit Gathering Pagoda. If he couldn’t sell Medicinal Pills, it would directly affect his Cultivation speed.

But Lu Xingchen did not refuse.

Because he was confident of victory.

In that battle at the Eldest Princess’s birthday banquet more than a month ago, he had already figured out Ye Chen’s strength, which was a decent Seven-Star Martial King.

Looking at his head just now, his Realm had not Breakthrough either.

In contrast, he himself had already Breakthrough from Six-Star Martial Spirit to Three-Star Martial King in the past month.

Dealing with a Ye Chen would be completely simple, without any pressure!

Lu Xingchen said in a deep voice, “Alright, I’ll bet with you. If you lose, I will break your right hand to avenge Jiang E!”

Ye Chen laughed, “Then you’ll have to work hard.”

Clearly, he didn’t take Lu Xingchen seriously at all.

The two moved to the Martial Arts Field, and the surrounding onlookers followed closely.

Suddenly, the usually sparsely populated Martial Arts Field became lively, with dozens of Inner Sect Disciples watching the battle from below.

Lu Xingchen and Ye Chen invited an Inner Sect Elder of the Martial Emperor Realm to be the referee and both walked onto the arena.

Before the fight even began, the Inner Sect Disciples below started a heated discussion.

“Ye Chen versus Lu Xingchen, what are the odds?”

“Three to seven. Ye Chen makes three moves, and Lu Xingchen cracks in seven seconds.”

“I think so too. Ye Chen is the eighth rank on the heaven ranking, a Seven-Star Martial King. Lu Xingchen has just entered the Inner Sect, his Realm definitely won’t be higher than Five-Star, how can he fight Ye Chen?”

“I heard this Lu Xingchen is also quite extraordinary, entering the Inner Sect within a year, and even killing a Thousand Zhang Water Beast in the Inner Sect assessment, he has the potential of a Saint!”

“But it’s a pity he’s not a Saint yet. This duel with Ye Chen is a definite loss!”

Ye Chen smiled disdainfully at Lu Xingchen.

“Lu Xingchen, I admit your talent is strong. But your ambition is too high. If you were willing to bury your head and Cultivate for a few more years, I might truly not be your opponent.”

Lu Xingchen said in a deep voice, “Don’t just spout nonsense. I hope you can be just as composed when you’re lying down later.”

Hearing this, Ye Chen’s expression darkened, and he closed his mouth.

“Match start!”

The referee gave the command.

Lu Xingchen took a fierce step forward, activating his Dou Qi.

His Three-Star Martial King strength was fully displayed.

Feeling the Dou Qi fluctuations from his body, Ye Chen was greatly astonished.

Three-Star Martial King was indeed nothing, but he clearly remembered that just over a month ago, Ye Chen was merely a Six-Star Martial Spirit!

His Cultivation speed was simply too fast!

Ye Chen also knew that Lu Xingchen had a secret technique that could temporarily increase his Realm.

If he used that secret technique, he might indeed pose a threat to him!
