Chapter 13: The Breakthrough Before Zongbi

"Just after Xiao'er left, I suddenly figured it out completely, the so-called wealth and danger are sought, rather than living in the ridicule of others all my life, it is better to fight to the death now, after all, there is no power in the world that can be obtained in vain, isn't it?"

Clenching his fists, Duan Chen looked directly at the Blood Pupil Demon Ape whose expression instantly became solemn and said, and then without waiting for the latter to speak, he directly swept towards a rather hidden cave not far away.

"Alas, I really don't know if it's wrong or right to tell you that!" Looking at Duan Chen, who flew into the cave, the Blood Pupil Demon Ape turned into a red light with a face full of worry and chased after the latter.

"Boy, do you think about it, once you forcibly swallow the Qingyuan Pill, you will never have any room to turn back, and in the end, you will most likely be shocked into a blood mist by the violent energy in the pill!"

"Needless to say, you have also seen Xie Zhen's strength, since there is no choice, then why not just give it a go!" However, in the face of the persuasion of the Blood Pupil Demon Ape, Duan Chen raised his head directly after speaking, and swallowed the Qingyuan Pill into his stomach in one gulp.

At the entrance of the pill, a wild and domineering energy suddenly pulsed towards several closed tendons in Duan Chen's body like a flood beast.

"Uh-huh!"

With the continuous impact of energy, the sharp pain that pierced his heart suddenly made Duan Chen let out a miserable scream, and large drops of sweat mixed with blood seeped out from the pores around his body and dripped to the ground.

More than half an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and at this time, Duan Chen's previous terrible screams had long been replaced by a faint muffled snort, and his whole body was even more half-paralyzed leaning against the rock wall.

"Kid must hold on, otherwise once you pass out now, then the energy in your body will become even more violent because of the sudden disappearance of your sanity, and then I am afraid that you will really be shocked by it!"

Not far away, looking at Duan Chen, whose vitality was getting weaker and weaker, the Blood Pupil Demon Ape shouted loudly. However, in the face of his shouts, Duan Chen's strong eyes finally closed slowly under the great tiredness and pain.

"No, no! I knew it would be the result now, I shouldn't have told you how to use the pill to forcibly open the tendons, I-"

Looking at Duan Chen, who had passed out and was almost about to become a bloody man, thinking back to the situation where Duan Chen had risked his own beast cores again and again in the past few days, the Blood Pupil Demon Ape suddenly roared with some self-reproach.

"Buzz, buzz!"

But just when the Blood Pupil Demon Ape was blaming himself for his mistakes, it was suddenly accompanied by a muffled sound, only to see that a milky white luster suddenly spread out from Duan Chen's palm, and then flew towards the latter's body, easing the violent energy in his body for him.

"Kong, Kongtongyin, why did I forget it, boy, you are saved, saved!" For a while, looking at Duan Chen, whose expression gradually calmed down with the white light entering his body, the Blood Pupil Demon Ape suddenly shouted with surprise on his face like a child.

"What? Still haven't found Duan Chen?" In the main hall of the North Courtyard, with the return of many disciples, Meng Hao smashed a stone table in front of him with a palm full of anger on his face.

Saying that, five or six days ago, Duan Chen suddenly disappeared, and although Meng Hao had used almost all the disciples of the Northern Courtyard to look for it in the past few days, he still couldn't find the slightest whereabouts, which made him very worried and angry in his heart.

"Did you say that Duan Chen's kid deliberately hid because of Zongbi's business, after all, tomorrow is the day Zongbi began, and he suddenly disappeared now, it's really suspicious!"

Outside the main hall, looking at Meng Hao in anger, several disciples of the Northern Courtyard discussed after thinking of Xie Zhen's application to the sect.

"Impossible, Brother Chen won't do that!" Listening to the discussion of several people, Zhang Han retorted with anger on his face.

"And, then tell us why he suddenly disappeared?" Looking at Zhang Han, who was trying his best to refute him, several disciples left one after another after giving a disdainful taunt at the latter.

"Boy, you've finally woken up, if it's one day late, I'm afraid you'll only be able to participate in the next Zongbi!"

Just when all the disciples of the Northern Courtyard were privately taunting Duan Chen for escaping, in the cave inside the jungle, looking at the young man who slowly opened his eyes and his momentum increased a lot compared to before, the Blood Pupil Demon Ape said with surprise on his face.

"What? Could it be that I've been in a coma for six days? No, Zongbi will start tomorrow, I have to go back quickly!" Listening to the latter's words, Duan Chen, who had just woken up, was about to return to the North Courtyard.

"Wait a minute, you've been in a coma for so many days anyway, in that case, why don't we wait for the start of Zongbi tomorrow and surprise that annoying guy, wouldn't it be more fun!"

Listening to the words of the Blood Pupil Demon Ape, thinking back to the situation when Xie Zhen wanted to be ruthless to himself half a year ago, Duan Chen's raised foot finally slowly fell back to the ground again, and a trace of heavy anticipation emerged from his face.

"Shame today, I will repay it a hundred times in other days!"

In the early morning of the next day, when the sky was still a little dark, the huge martial arts training ground of the Yunmeng Sect Courtyard was already full of people, and it was in full swing. There is no other reason, because the three-year Zongbi is about to kick off here today!

Seeing that there was still some time before Zongbi began, the disciples of the various academies who had arrived in advance couldn't help but whisper something.

"Hey, I heard that Xie Zhen from your Southern Courtyard took the initiative to apply for a duel with Duan Chen from the Northern Courtyard this time, is it true?"

"Yes, our Eastern Courtyard has been rumoring about this recently, is this true?"

And with the whispered discussions of the disciples of the various academies, the rumors of the duel between Duan Chen and Xie Zhen were undoubtedly on the lips of most of the disciples, after all, a few years ago, the name Duan Chen was too familiar.

"That's right, but presumably Duan Chen's kid would never dare to come to fight, although he was indeed a genius a few years ago, but that was all in the past, now Senior Brother Xie Zhen is recognized as a first-day talent in our Southern Academy, and Duan Chen, what is he!"

Looking at the disciples of the other courtyard who were constantly surrounding him, a disciple of the Southern Academy said with pride on his face.

"Look, the head of the sect is here with the senior brothers of the main courtyard, Zongbi should be about to start!" Just as everyone was talking to each other, suddenly accompanied by the shout of a disciple, everyone present couldn't help but look in the direction of the main passage of the arena.
