"Lu Chen, thank you very much. If it weren't for you, our family wouldn't know when we could truly be together."

"This is also the natural state of the city owner's wife Ji Ren."

Qiao Xue's mother Mu Wanchen walked up to Lu Chen and said, "Little brother, thank you for saving me. Without you, I'm afraid I won't be able to wake up in this life..."

Before Mu Wanchen finished her words, her body softened. Fortunately, Qiao quickly supported her with eyesight and hands. He looked concerned and said, "What's wrong with you Chen'er?"

"Maybe the lady just woke up, so her body is a little weak. I think it will be fine after a few days of recuperation."

Hearing what Lu Chen said, Qiao Duan hurriedly helped Mu Wanchen onto the bed, but Lu Chen did not stay here to disturb the family's family happiness. He quietly retreated, left the City Lord's Mansion, and returned to Si Ye Academy. After returning to the academy, Lu Chen began to practice in retreat. He received news from Qiao Duan that Chen Lanzhu was very likely to break through the Tianyuan realm. Therefore, he had a great sense of oppression and he was eager to improve his strength.

Now, it is impossible for him to improve his realm, so he had to focus on the Scarlet Fire Sword Technique. He strives to refine all the nine red fire sword techniques before the battle of life and death. Now he has refined the Chihuo sword technique to the four forms of the earth. However, these formulas were refined by him under the pressure of life and death. Now he doesn't dare to take this line of risk, and then challenge an enemy stronger than Kang Qingshan, because then, once injured, it will be difficult for him to recover.

Fifth style!

Lu Chen began to refine the fifth formula. He closed his eyes, and the first to fourth formulas of the Red Fire Sword Technique flashed in his mind. But when it comes to the fifth formula, the picture is like being paused by someone, and he can't refine the fifth formula.

"How can I refine the fifth formula?" Lu Chen thought hard...

...

Kang family!

In a secret room, a middle-aged man was naked with his upper body. The blood in his whole body was extremely strong, and his blood was about to burn like wolf smoke. If Lu Chen were here, he would recognize that this man sitting cross-legged was his great enemy Chen Lanzhu.

At this time, Chen Lanzhu was completely like a different person from before, his breath became sharper, and the oppressiveness that he exudes was not the same.

He grabbed it, and a pill appeared in his hand. Looking at the pill, there was a hot color in his eyes. This is a fourth-grade pill, and he wants to break through the Heavenly Origin Realm with this pill.

swallow!

Swallowing the pill into his stomach, he began to refine the pill.

The next moment, the turbulent medicinal power swept across his body, the medicinal power flowed through his body through the eight channels of the odd meridians, and his body began to swell at a speed visible to the naked eye. After a while, his body more than doubled, Chen Lanzhu Seize the time to refine the medicine in the body. He runs the exercises, and every time the exercises do a weekly operation, part of the medicinal power in his body is transformed into internal power.

One week, two weeks...

As he continued to do the weekday operation, his dantian's internal strength became more and more.

Three days later, the internal force filled his dantian, Chen Lanzhu showed a hot color on his face, and muttered, "Now is the time to break through the Heavenly Origin Realm."

Shock!

He mobilized his internal force and began to impact the Tianyuan realm, and the internal force flowed towards the place beyond the eight channels of his odd meridians, and began to impact those blocked meridians. Immediately, there was tingling pain in the place where his meridians were blocked. The intense pain caused Chen Lanzhu's sweat to flow out.

His face suddenly became distorted, and he said coldly: "I must break through, I must slaughter that little **** by myself."

The shadow of Lu Chen, whom he hates most, appeared in Chen Lanzhu's mind, and he seemed to have regained motivation. Even the internal force was stimulated, and the originally exhausted internal force miraculously broke through several blocked meridians.

The meridians were rushed open, the internal force began to flow into these places, and his aura began to rise steadily.

After a while, his aura reached its apex, and the internal force in his body compressed by itself. In less than an hour, his internal strength was several times as high as before. With a brilliant smile on Chen Lanzhu's face, she muttered to herself: "Breakthrough, I finally broke through the Heavenly Origin Realm, Lu Chen, wait for the little bastard, I will definitely break your corpse!"

"Failed again!"

A trace of sadness appeared in Lu Chen's eyes. This was already the ninety-ninth time he had failed to refine the fifth style of the Red Fire Sword.

Taking a deep breath, there was a firm look in his eyes, and said: "Come again!"

With a grasp of his hand, the Tianque Sword appeared in his hand, his surrounding sword aura was filled, and the awe-inspiring sword aura formed a dragon of sword aura.

Sword Intent Transformation!

Seeing the sword gas transform into a dragon, Lu Chen's face was surprised. Only those with superb swordsmanship can reach this state. Only when he reaches the form of sword energy can he be regarded as a true swordsman. The sword aura became more and more condensed, and the long sword swayed, as if the sound of a dragon roar came out.

The fifth style of the Chihuo sword technique is successfully refined!

It turns out that if you want to refine the fifth style of the red fire sword, you need to reach the realm of sword intent. After carefully contemplating the transformation of sword intent, he began to refine the sixth form of the red fire sword. The fifth type is a hurdle. After turning over this hurdle, the next paragraph becomes a lot easier.

In less than two days, Lu Chen refined the seventh and eighth forms of the Red Fire Sword Art.

"There is one last thing!"

Lu Chen's eyes were hot, and the ninth form of the Red Fire Sword Technique was the strongest of this sword technique. In less than ten minutes, Lu Chen's brows wrinkled. This style of swordsmanship is very profound. Although he has learned it, he only understands a little bit of it. If he wants to refine his swordsmanship, he needs to use his swordsmanship. Eat thoroughly. So, he buried his head and began to understand the essence of the ninth form of the Red Fire Sword Art.

Time passed by, and three days passed in a blink of an eye. Lu Chen still had no clue. He seemed to be stuck in the quagmire of swordsmanship and stopped.

"No, or no, what should I do?"

Unable to refine the ninth formula, and the duel between him and Chen Lanzhu was close at hand, Lu Chen was also a little worried. Taking a deep breath, he tried to calm himself down. Since he could not refine the ninth formula, he began to review the previous eight.

Once, twice...

As he continued to revisit the previous eight forms, he found that he had a deeper and deeper understanding of the Chihuo sword technique, and the ninth form, which had no eyebrows, also had eyebrows. With joy, he practiced the first eight forms more and more seriously. After practicing dozens of times, he had an intuition that he would soon be able to refine the ninth form.

almost! almost!

Suddenly, Lu Chen waved the long sword subconsciously, his wrists swayed, and the long sword in his hand was like a snake. At this time, his swordsmanship was floating, like an antelope hanging a horn, without a trace. In this style of swordsmanship, there seems to be a shadow of the first style, which is a bit similar to the second style. If you look carefully, you can find the shadows of the first eight styles of the red fire sword. As he moved his sword, suddenly the sword intent on his body became proud.

The endless sword aura was released, and the entire space was filled with sword aura, and the sharp sword aura left sword marks on the wall. The next moment, Lu Chen raised the sword high above his head, and all the sword energy in the air was sucked into the Tianque sword. At this time, the Tianque Sword was smooth and restrained, not even a trace of sword aura was released.

thorn!

Lu Chen pierced out with a sword, and his sword aura burst out like the water of a river bursting a bank. The surging sword energy directly penetrated the air, and a fist-sized black hole appeared in the void. The violent space energy radiated from the black hole, as if to swallow this space.

"Successful, I finally succeeded."

Seeing the power of this sword, Lu Chen's face showed ecstasy. It turns out that the ninth style of the red fire sword technique requires the integration of the essence of the previous eight styles. The ninth form is a comprehensive move that unifies the previous eight forms. Then broke out a strong blow. Thinking of the space being torn apart just now, that power left him a deep shock.

Looking out the window and looking at the moon in the sky, he murmured: "There will be another day when I will fight Chen Lanzhu. I should be able to fight him now, right?"

Today's Lu Chen has a red scale **** armor, a sky-fire profound sword, and the combination of nine red-fire sword techniques. In addition, he has a hole card, which is also his last hole card, five elements of internal strength. When he unifies the five elements of internal power, his internal power will skyrocket. With so many cards added up, even if Chen Lanzhu really breaks through the Tianyuan realm, he believes that he has the power to fight.

Then, he began to consolidate his understanding of swordsmanship, hoping that he could learn new things.

The wheel of time keeps turning, and people can never stop the torrent of time from rolling forward. In the blink of an eye, Lu Chen opened his eyes and murmured, "The day of the decisive battle has arrived."

...

At the gate of the inner courtyard, Chen Lanzhu stood there with a long sword in his hand. He mobilized his internal strength and shouted wildly, "Lu Chen, come out and die~~"

A dead word reverberated in the air, and almost all the students heard it no matter the inner courtyard or the outer courtyard. Some people with good deeds dared to come here. After a short while, hundreds of people were surrounded here, and the number is still increasing wildly.

"Isn't this Elder Chen Lanzhu, what did he seek for Lu Chen for?"

"You don't know this? At the beginning, Lu Chen and the Bai family genius Bai Yihong duel. At first, Chen Lanzhu favored Bai Yihong. After Lu Chen killed Bai Yihong, he wanted to punish Lu Chen, but was discovered by the inspector and then abandoned. After leaving his position as an elder, he hated Lu Chen from then on. For some reason, he and Lu Chen made a life and death agreement to fight each other. It must be time."

"Lu Chen is already in the Upper House Academy. I heard that he also defeated Kang Qingshan. Now it is not so easy for Chen Lanzhu to win, right?"

"This is wonderful. It must be another battle."

"..."

Countless people are talking about it. Everyone is either explaining how Chen Lanzhu and Lu Chen had a grudge, or they are speculating about who can win this life and death battle. Some people are optimistic about Chen Lanzhu, after all, the elder of the outer courtyard of his time is not only strong, but also has rich experience. Of course, there are people who are optimistic about Lu Chen. He defeated Kang Qingshan, known as the invincible invincible. Although he had a fluke at the beginning, it was enough to show his strength. If Chen Lanzhu was careless, he might end up with Kang Qingshan.

The crowd waited for a long time, but did not see Lu Chen, and there was a commotion in the presence.

"Why isn't Lu Chen coming? Isn't he afraid?"

"I heard that Lu Chen was seriously injured in the battle with Kang Qingshan. Maybe he hasn't healed yet. If that's the case, he can't be Elder Chen Lanzhu's opponent. I don't think he dare to come."

"Lu Chen escaped without a fight. It's a shame that he is still a student in the upper court."

After seeing Lu Chen for a long time, everyone began to accuse Lu Chen of various accusations.

While waiting, everyone waited for three full hours, but still did not see Lu Chen, many people had already begun to scold their mothers.
