Zi Chen had only returned for one day, and he had already provoked Wang Xiong. Even though Su Mengyao had rescued him, he was still excluded by the many outer sect disciples.

As the internal portal disciple exam neared, many outer sect disciples busied themselves. Some disciples who knew that they had no chance of breaking through even tried to think of a way to get some herbal medicine.

Some of them were cultivating arduously, while others left the Spirit Martial Sect to search for opportunities.

Zi Chen had been isolated, and there were definitely no more than five outer sect disciples who would care about him.

Miao Kong was one, Liu Yang was definitely one, and Lin Xue was also one. It was a pity that she hadn't spoken to Zi Chen yet and had already left with him that day.

Liu Yang was at the fourth level of zhenqi, just like Zi Chen. He was only a thin line away from the fifth level. Zi Chen had previously been at the fourth level of the zhenqi and when he returned, he was at the fourth level as well.

However, no one knew that in just a few short months, Zi Chen, from being a cripple, broke through to the fourth level of zhenqi. His physique even greatly surpassed that of Grade Five Vicious Beast s, and he even comprehended the true meaning of Battle skills.

In front of Zi Chen, an ordinary fifth level zhenqi was not even worth mentioning.

"A two hundred year old herbal medicine?" Zi Chen looked at Liu Yang in front of him and frowned.

"Of course, I found it with great difficulty. With a Grade Five Vicious Beast protecting by my side and me alone being unable to defeat it, that's why I called you." Liu Yang promised solemnly.

"This... "Let me think about it." Zi Chen hesitated.

Liu Yang glared: Zi Chen, you still need to consider, I am looking for you because you are my brother, you are in the fourth level of the zhenqi, and so am I, a two hundred year old herbal medicine, in exchange for two zhenqi Pills, one for each of us, at that time we will all break through and enter the internal portal, what else do you have to think about, do you think that I will harm you because of you?

The word "brothers" had greatly stimulated Zi Chen, causing his pupils to constrict.

"Alright!" Hearing Liu Yang's words, Zi Chen did not hesitate any longer, directly nodding, and said: "When are we leaving?"

"That's more like it. There's no need to consider such a good thing." Liu Yang laughed: "Tomorrow morning, we will set out."

With that, Liu Yang left.

"You believe him?" Just as Liu Yang left, Miao Kong walked out of the room and looked at his back, a cold light flickering in his eyes.

Zi Chen only smiled, and did not speak.

"If you need zhenqi Pills, I can think of a way to get one for you. For Liu Yang to suddenly call for you, he must have some ulterior motives." Miao Kong said again.

"I just want to see what they are up to." Zi Chen said.

"Aren't you afraid that he will collude with Wang Meng and kill you?"

"Wang Xiong is not here. As long as he appears, I can guarantee that he will die miserably." Zi Chen said coldly. At this moment, his body brimmed with a strong confidence.

After a few months of not seeing it, Miao Kong realized that he could not see through Zi Chen. It was as if's body was covered with a thin layer of muslin, becoming hazy and mysterious.

Early in the morning on the second day, Liu Yang arrived on time with a baggage behind his back.

"Let's go."

Zi Chen also simply took a baggage and took advantage of the early morning cold weather, the two of them left the Spirit Martial Sect.

Along the way, Liu Yang appeared to be very excited, and kept on talking to Zi Chen.

However, they were just words that lacked nutrition. They did not even say a single word about two hundred year old herbal medicine.

"Aren't you going to talk about the herbal medicine?" Zi Chen listened to them silently until the two of them were very far away from Spirit Martial Sect and were walking into the forest. Then, Zi Chen suddenly asked.

"herbal medicine?" Liu Yang was startled, then laughed: "Of course I have to say, it's a herbal medicine, I don't really know what it's called, it's just that its age is around 200 years, and the Grade Five Vicious Beast is a Crimson Tiger, so we need to be careful, we don't want the herbal medicine not to be obtained, but rather, our lives would be lost. If there's any danger, you can hide behind me, I'll protect you."

Liu Yang spoke with an awe-inspiring righteousness.

Zi Chen laughed involuntarily, and said: "Looks like you still haven't done your homework. The weakest Crimson Tiger are all six levels Vicious Beasts s, and most of them are Level 7 Vicious Beasts s, so their perception is even sharper than usual. Once you get close, they would definitely detect you launching an attack, not to mention you, even if it's anyone at the sixth level of zhenqi, they wouldn't be able to escape."

Liu Yang was stunned, his expression kept changing, and he did not know what to say.

"Now, you should tell me what the reward for selling me out is, right? Did you find someone to rely on, or did you exchange them for a zhenqi Pill? " There was a touch of ridicule in Zi Chen's eyes, but there was also a hint of sorrow.

If it were anyone else who had been betrayed by their friends, they would not feel at ease.

"You … Do you know? "

Liu Yang's expression suddenly changed, and his figure retreated backwards, pulling apart the distance between him and Zi Chen.

"It doesn't seem hard to see through your little trick." said indifferently. Compared to Zhao Can, Liu Yang was far worse.

"Then why are you still coming?" Liu Yang's face turned cold.

"Let me see if there's any luck."

Liu Yang did not understand.

"Come out, you've followed me all the way. There's no need to hide anymore." Zi Chen suddenly shouted at the forest behind him.

After being cleansed by the Body Refinement Art, his physique had evolved and his perception had become very strong, so Zi Chen naturally discovered the person who was carefully following him from behind.

"Good boy, you have guts."

A sneer came from the jungle, then two figures walked out.

Fu Jie and Chi Ming walked out from the forest.

"Just the two of you?" Seeing the two of them, Zi Chen was surprised. According to his conjecture, Wang Meng should be coming.

"The two of us can deal with you." Fu Jie laughed coldly.

Zi Chen was a little disappointed. He had come here entirely because of Wang Meng, and in his opinion, Wang Meng should have had the zhenqi Pellet. But with these two people here, Zi Chen's hopes had been shattered.

"Why are you so disappointed? Do you really have to die in Tetramethylenetetrahydrazine's hands?" Chi Ming mocked.

"I am a little disappointed. Now that Wang Meng is here, he would at least have zhenqi Pills on him. But the two of you are poorer than the last, what a pity." Zi Chen shook his head and sighed, he was extremely disappointed.

"Zi Chen, don't f * cking look down on me, I have zhenqi Pills too." Fu Jie raged and then, in front of Zi Chen, he took out a zhenqi Pill.

This was a white Pills, with dense amounts of spirit energy within. It was indeed a zhenqi Pellet.

"He's so greedy even when he's about to die. He's simply courting death." Chi Ming's eyes flashed with killing intent.

Liu Yang ran in front of the two of them and turned to look at Zi Chen: "Zi Chen, don't blame me.

"Don't worry, I won't blame you. From the moment you decided to betray me, we are fated to only live one person." Zi Chen calmly replied: "Either you die, or I die, but I believe that the one who dies will definitely be you."

Liu Yang was silent, his expression extremely ugly.

"Hmph, boasting shamelessly." Fu Jie gave a cold snort and said: "Zi Chen, today is the day you die. As for that Chinese sage root, it should be in the baggage behind you."

"Can you come and take a look? "However, that will depend on whether you have the right to live." Zi Chen ridiculed.

"You don't know what's good for you. Today, I, Fu Jie, will send you back to the West."

Fu Jie roared out, and the zhenqi at the fifth floor instantly surged. The Floating Cloud Step under his feet appeared, and with a strange footwork, he swiftly rushed towards Zi Chen.

"Die!"

He clenched his fists tightly, like a large iron hammer, and with the sound of wind, he fiercely threw a punch towards Zi Chen's face.

third-rate combat skills, Iron Fist.

Looking at the confident Fu Jie, Zi Chen shook his head, and a tinge of ridicule appeared on his lips: "Iron fists are not like iron fists, the Floating Cloud Step is not like the Floating Cloud Step, so what if the zhenqi is stronger … … "Isn't he still going to die?"

The ridicule in his eyes instantly turned into a cold light, Zi Chen moved slightly, dodging Fu Jie's attack by a hair's breadth, following that, a loud roar of a ferocious tiger sounded out, the third-rate combat skills appeared, and fiercely smashed towards the empty door Fu Jie had opened.

"Bang."

Amidst the dull sounds, mixed with the sound of bones breaking, and Fu Jie's miserable scream, the other party's figure came to a quick retreat.

He stepped off the ground quickly and retreated in the air, but his attack was actually sent flying by Zi Chen.

"Pfft!"

As his body landed on the ground, Fu Jie suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

One strike and Fu Jie, who was at the fifth level of zhenqi, died.

"You …!"

"You … actually …? "

The color of Chi Ming's and Liu Yang's faces instantly changed drastically as astonishment filled their eyes. With just a single exchange, Fu Jie had already fallen, the strength of this Zi Chen far exceeded their imagination. He was simply scarier than Grade Five Vicious Beast s.

"Shua!"

Facing the two people who were so shocked, Zi Chen did not say a word, but instead used a natural movement technique to instantly appear in front of Chi Ming.

"Die."

Chi Ming was furious. With a roar, he threw out two punches, causing the zhenqi to surge towards Zi Chen viciously from the fifth floor.

"This is not how Fierce Tiger Fist is used."

Zi Chen laughed sinisterly, he could have easily dodged this attack, but he chose to fight Chi Ming head on. After a roar from the tiger, he was like a ferocious tiger that had descended the mountain, seeing its prey and started to attack, his fists rushed towards Chi Ming.

Boom!

The moment the fist collided, it released a loud sound, followed by a cracking sound. Chi Ming felt that a powerful force emerged from Zi Chen's fist, and struck his body from the impact, causing his body to fly backwards, both of his arms drooping down weakly, but it was already broken.

In a clash of force, Chi Ming's life and death was uncertain.

This was the strength of Zi Chen. He was at the fourth level of the zhenqi, and he also had a strong physique. Facing a human at the fifth level of the zhenqi, he was completely tyrannical.

In the blink of an eye, only Liu Yang was left on the stage.

"Zi Chen, I... I was wrong... Please let me go... "Please." Liu Yang's shock turned into shock, followed by fear. Seeing Zi Chen's gaze sweep towards him, he was even more frightened, and begged for mercy with a trembling voice.

Zi Chen did not say a word, the killing intent in his eyes was clear.

"Zi Chen, I was forced to do this. Really, please let me go, I beg you." The terrified Liu Yang, immediately knelt in front of Zi Chen and begged for forgiveness.

There was a trace of fluctuation in Zi Chen's cold eyes.

"Zi Chen, I was really forced, please let me go, on account of us being friends and brothers." Seeing that there was hope, Liu Yang pleaded for mercy once again.

"You get up first." The killing intent in Zi Chen's eyes converged as he said indifferently.

"No, if you don't forgive me, I won't get up." Liu Yang insisted.

"Stand up. What happened today is not your fault." Zi Chen said indifferently, after that he walked towards Liu Yang, wanting to help him up.

Zi Chen had already held onto Liu Yang's arm, wanting to pull him up. Right now the distance between them was not even half a meter, and Zi Chen's empty door was exposed.

"Die! Five hundred years old Chinese sage root are mine!"

A killing intent suddenly flashed across Liu Yang's eyes. A short dagger suddenly appeared at his waist, drew out a streak of cold light, and pierced towards Zi Chen's chest.

In the blink of an eye, the short dagger had already reached Zi Chen's chest and was about to pierce through it.

"Pfft!"

However, a light sound, resounded first. Liu Yang felt a pain in his chest, as if something had entered his heart and all his strength had dissipated in that instant.

Liu Yang lowered his head, and then, he saw an arm that was covered in blood shrinking, and then, he saw a hand that was in front of his arm, that was holding a beating heart.

"I want to see if your heart is black or red." Zi Chen's cold voice came out, he exerted force with his five fingers and instantly crushed the heart.

Liu Yang's eyes widened as he fell backwards.
