"Teacher Dongfang, bad news!"

Dongfang Yue was currently cultivating, and a shout came from outside. He immediately opened the door and saw Hong Zhao hugging Li Yuan, and asked suspiciously: "Hong Zhao, why are you in such a hurry, what happened?"

Hong Zhao anxiously said: "Teacher Dongfang, Li Yuan suddenly died from tempering."

"Quenching to death?" Dongfang Yue was startled. This was the first time he had heard that a martial artist would be quenched to death, so he made Hong Zhao place Li Yuan's corpse on the ground. Then, he carefully examined Li Yuan's body.

Dongfang Yue frowned: "It seems like his life is exhausted, it's strange."

Hong Zhao said in disbelief: "It can't be, he's a Lifestealer Realm practitioner after all, his Lifestealer Realm life expectancy can't be considered short, how could he possibly exhaust his lifespan at such a young age."

Everyone's lifespan was limited, but as a warrior, their lifespan would be longer, and the higher the realm, the longer their lifespan would be. So how could Li Yuan be dead at such a young age?

Dongfang Yue shook his head. He couldn't figure out the specific reason in an instant, and asked after a moment of silence: "Has he offended anyone recently?"

"This …" Hong Zhao did not know what to say, but after thinking for a while, she still said, "A while ago, Li Yuan and Xiang Ling were training outside, and in the end, we ran into the three new students. It was Di Chen and the others, who escaped after Xiang Ling and Fang Hao were killed."

"The three of them?" Dong Fang pondered for a while, and shook his head: "If Li Yuan was truly killed by someone, I think it would be similar to a spell or curse technique, and only this kind of technique can kill people without them noticing, they are just normal warriors, they cannot do this."

Most of the Martial Region Continent's cultivation techniques were ordinary, but there were some demonic cultivation techniques that were very evil, these types of people came and go like ghosts, killing people without a trace. If Li Yuan had really died by someone else's hands, that would be the only possibility, but it was obvious that Di Chen and the other two could not learn this evil technique.

Hong Zhao thought that it might be Di Chen's doing, but hearing Dongfang Yue's words, she felt relieved.

Dongfang Yue analyzed: "However, there shouldn't be anyone in the Spirit Province who knows any evil techniques, and Li Yuan also doesn't have the chance to interact with such people. I think Li Yuan should be dead from quenching, find a place to properly bury his corpse."

He nodded.

Dongfang Yue did not seem to mind Li Yuan's death at all, after all, there were many students in Famous Sword Academy, and every single one of them was normal, so he changed the topic: "Right, you heard about the Zuo Qing who came from Clear Water Academy, he had always wanted to challenge you, with his personality, he will definitely take action, are you confident?"

"I don't want to fight him, but I'm not afraid if he insists on causing trouble," Hong Zhao said calmly.

Dongfang Yue laughed: That's good, other than you, no other disciple can defeat Zuo Qing now.

He knew that there were still a lot of direct disciples in the Famous Sword Academy, and that was why these direct disciples were the strongest, but Dongfang Yue did not wish for these direct disciples to show their faces, so he allowed Hong Zhao to appear. It was just that this action made Hong Zhao a little unhappy, and Hong Zhao did not say anything.

However, no matter how hard Di Chen tried, he could not break through the last barrier no matter how much he read or wrote. The realm of the King Wen seemed to be very close to Di Chen but it seemed to be very far away, as if a mysterious force was blocking him from writing. For the next three days, Di Chen had yet to make a breakthrough in his realm, and the power of the scholars seemed to have reached their limits as well, making it impossible for them to increase.

"Forget it," Di Chen said as his entire body was aching. This time, he finally gave up and left the room.

The Famous Sword Academy was different from the Sky Realm Academy. The scenery was beautiful, the air was fresh and clear, and Di Chen prepared to wander around to relax his mind.

Di Chen came to a lake and suddenly saw a man sitting by the lake. had met this man before, it was Kui Shan.

"Senior Brother Kui Shan." Di Chen walked over and asked curiously: "Why are you here?"

Kui Shan saw that it was Di Chen and laughed: "Oh, so it's Di Chen, I train here everyday. Oh right, I see that you have been cultivating in your room for the past few days, how has your training been going?"

Di Chen sighed: "There's no way to break through the current realm, there's still just a little difference."

Kui Shan curiously looked at Di Chen, thought for a while and still asked, "Why do you not have any spirit energy in your body, I can't even tell what realm you are in."

Di Chen smiled mysteriously, "I'm at the ninth stage of Life Seizing Supreme Realm, but my cultivation technique is a little special."

Kui Shan could tell that Di Chen was deliberately hiding it from him, but she did not probe further, and laughed: "You said that you are about to break through to the current realm, which means that you are still a bit away from becoming a Martial King. How about this, after some time, I have arranged for a few more people to go to mountain to kill demonic beast, and you will go with us.

Actually, Di Chen had that thought before, but before he broke through to King Wen, he did not dare to enter the mountain alone, so Kui Shan acting together was a different story. Furthermore, Kui Shan had been taking care of Di Chen during this period of time, so Di Chen was slightly more at ease with him around.

"Okay," Di Chen agreed without hesitation, thinking that if he had the chance to absorb a few Demonic King's flesh and blood, he might be able to break through his Martial King Realm.

"When the time comes, I'll come find you. I'll be leaving first," Kui Shan smiled, and after greeting Di Chen, he left the place.

Di Chen sat on the side of the lake and started reading. This time, he didn't think of reading to break through the realm of King Wen, but just simply read a book. The book he read was a travel diary, and it talked about the humanities in the southernmost areas of Martial Region Continent.

"Hmm?" After looking at it for an hour, Di Chen suddenly felt a surge of scholar's power surging into his body, and when Di Chen looked again, he felt that he was one step closer to King Wen.

Di Chen was immediately overjoyed. Previously, when he intentionally read books to break through the realm of King Wen, there was no effect. However, this time, he did not think that breaking through his current realm would actually be raised by a level.

Di Chen continued to look, but this time, Di Chen found that he was unable to break through no matter how hard he tried. Actually, this was also because Di Chen was also subconsciously holding onto the book, trying to break through to the next realm.

Di Chen could only give up, he closed the book, and just as he was about to leave, a man and woman suddenly blocked Di Chen's path.

Normal omniscience and fragrant snow.

"It's you guys," Di Chen said as his brows rose.

Xiang Xue stared deadly at Di Chen and said: "The one who killed Xiang Ling will have you. This time, without Liu Jingjing protecting you, I want to see how you escape."

Hong Zhao also sighed. "If I were you, I would have continued hiding in the residential area. How could I have run out here?"

Di Chen frowned: "You guys are really persistent, this matter was originally because your sister and the others went overboard and killed all the villagers for something that they did not even need, I should have killed them, but I did not expect you guys to be even more excessive, to actually kill all the villagers, I did not go find trouble with you, but you two came looking for trouble with me instead?"

Xiang Xue mocked, "Don't speak so righteously of yourself. If you wanted revenge, you would have come looking for us already. You just didn't dare."

Before, Li Yuan had already used the deaths of the villagers to anger Di Chen, so he thought that he could lure Di Chen out of the residential area, but the result was different from what they imagined. Unexpectedly, Di Chen did not come out, and Xiang Xue had thought that she had misjudged Di Chen, because in her heart, Di Chen was not a person who liked to fight for justice.

"Although you don't dare, I can see that you really hate this matter. Right now, I'll give you a chance. I want to see if you can grasp it or not."

As Xiang Xue spoke, she took a step towards Di Chen, took out her Spirit Sword, and chopped at him. "Die."

Di Chen was not afraid of Xiang Xue and the rest, he just felt that killing Li Yuan would take revenge for the villagers. He did not want to go overboard with the matter, but now these fellows were all pestering him.

"Freeze!" Di Chen bellowed, and with a single word, Xiang Xue's body broke through the barrier, imprisoned in the air like a sculpture. Only her two eyeballs remained.

"Our bodies!" Xiang Xue exclaimed in shock. "What happened? What did you do to me?"

Di Chen looked at Xiang Xue coldly. Without saying a word, he suddenly took a step forward and punched Xiang Xue.

"Xiang Xue, get out of the way," Hong Zhao shouted in surprise, but Xiang Xue didn't seem to hear him and just stood there without moving.

He pointed at the center of his brows, then a red sword shot out from between his eyebrows, flying straight towards Di Chen. This was his Sword Martial Spirit.

Di Chen did not dodge, but coldly looked at the sword, and just as it was about to hit Di Chen, the sword suddenly stopped, and hung in mid air, like Xiang Xue, it did not move.

"Impossible," Hong Qi realized that she was unable to control the sword no matter what, but she did not think that there would be another technique that could imprison her Sword Martial Spirit.

At this time, Di Chen also rushed to Xiang Xue's front, and smashed Xiang Xue's body with his fist, directly sending her flying. Xiang Xue rolled over a dozen times on the ground, and spat out a mouthful of blood, being beaten to death.

Di Chen could not really be considered a true warrior, but his power was so great that ordinary people were unable to withstand this punch.
