You think I have mixed spiritual roots? I became an immortal through a spirit gourd, so what are you

"Go to hell!" Chen Huai'an ignored Zhang Mu's shock. The other party's strength was far above his own, and he wasn't going to waste his breath arguing with him. He suddenly lunged at the other party.

This time, Chen Huai'an launched a direct counterattack, and in his hand, he took out a dagger from his spatial storage.

Villains die from talking too much.

Similarly, even the most upright people can die from talking too much.

Chen Huai'an didn't want to die, so the only option was for the other person to die.

When Zhang Mu saw the dagger in Chen Huai'an's hand, his pupils shrank sharply. This guy was a cunning old fox; his first move was aimed at killing him.

"Do you think the Zhang family is so easy to bully?" Zhang Mu shouted angrily. Then, he had to be on high alert to deal with this life-or-death crisis.

He was equally strong in the late stage of Body Refinement, and he refused to believe that he couldn't defeat his opponent today.

Now, he was 100% certain that this guy possessed an extraordinary treasure, which was why Zhang Hu was causing him trouble.

As for Zhang Long, the reason he died so tragically must be because he knew Chen Huai'an's secret and wanted to keep it for himself. He didn't report it to his family, and then he was silenced.

This guy is a master of playing the fool.

Chen Huai'an launched a relentless attack, aiming straight for the opponent's vital points.

He deliberately feigned weakness and launched a surprise attack, otherwise, the battle would have been even more passive.

Especially since Zhang Mu knew his strength and guessed that Zhang Hu and Zhang Long's deaths were related to him, this guy was even more untouchable.

The Zhang family is no ordinary force; they have a Foundation Establishment realm expert in their ranks. If their scheme is exposed, the enemy will not be a Body Refinement realm member, but most likely a Qi Refining realm member.

Therefore, no matter what means he uses, he is determined to keep Zhang Mu here today.

Zhang Mu possessed the strength of the seventh level of the late-stage Body Refinement realm. He had been in the late-stage Body Refinement realm for some time, and his realm was very stable.

However, when fighting against Chen Huai'an, a junior, he could only parry and had no power to fight back. If he were to run into other disciples of the Miscellaneous Service Peak at this moment and attract the disciples of the Enforcement Hall, he would be badly injured even if he didn't die. He had to finish the fight quickly.

"Kid, do you really think I'm a pushover if I don't show my power?" Zhang Mu roared, determined to fight to the death today. He bit his tongue, spitting out a mouthful of blood essence, which also caused his strength to surge.

"This is the strength of the late stage of Body Refinement Realm, it's really strong." Chen Huai'an was also a bit troubled when he saw Zhang Mu's aura surge.

Although there are only two minor realms separating the fifth level of the mid-stage Body Refinement Realm and the seventh level of the late-stage Body Refinement Realm, the difference between the two is still very obvious.

If he hadn't taken the top-grade Bone Refining Pill today and broken through to the fifth level of the mid-stage Body Refinement Realm, he would have had no choice but to run away from Zhang Mu. Fighting him would have been impossible.

Chen Huai'an's only advantage is probably his endurance. He has the Five Elements Spiritual Root, and his foundation is very solid. Zhang Mu was already injured, and his sudden burst of power must have been due to the use of some kind of secret technique to enhance his strength. He doesn't believe that this secret technique would be without any side effects.

If he weren't worried about being discovered, he could have easily waged a war of attrition against his opponent and worn them down.

"Damn it, what is this guy's strength? Is he at the eighth level of the late Body Refinement Realm?" The one who was getting more and more alarmed as the fight went on was none other than Zhang Mu. He had used his essence blood to forcefully enhance his strength, but he still couldn't crush his opponent, which gave him a bad feeling.

If we continue fighting to the death, he will surely die.

Once he dies in battle, whatever extraordinary secrets Chen Huai'an may have, it will have nothing to do with him.

What we need to do right now is not to kill the enemy, but to save our own lives. Only by saving our lives can we have a future.

Zhang Mu's offensive was waning, and he was looking for a way to escape.

Chen Huai'an thought the other party would fight to the death, but he was surprised when the guy suddenly turned around and ran away.

The other party seemed to have a deep-seated hatred and wouldn't rest until he was dead. This change was too sudden. He had to find a way to keep the other party here. Chen Huai'an suddenly shouted.

"Manager Wu, what brings you here?"

When Zhang Mu heard the name Manager Wu, he paused, as if he had seen a savior.

Just as Zhang Mu turned around, Chen Huai'an suddenly lunged forward, his dagger stabbing fiercely into the other man's chest.

Zhang Mu reacted immediately and slapped Chen Huai'an in the chest.

Zhang Mu's final, desperate attack was incredibly powerful; with just one strike, Chen Huai'an coughed up blood and flew backward.

Zhang Mu was not faring well either; his body fell straight to the ground.

Just as Zhang Mu fell to the ground, a jade pendant at his waist shattered with a crack.

Ignoring the excruciating pain in his chest, Chen Huai'an swallowed a top-grade healing pill and then rushed towards where Zhang Mu had fallen.

At that very instant, Chen Huai'an saw the jade pendant at Zhang Mu's waist shatter, and a red light shot towards the sky. It was so fast that just as he saw it and was about to reach out to grab it, it disappeared from his sight.

"What is this thing? Is it transmitting a message?" Chen Huai'an was a bit of a headache. He knew that once this message was sent out, no matter what the message was, it would be very disadvantageous for him.

When he arrived in front of Zhang Mu, the guy's pupils were wide open, and he looked like he had died with his eyes wide open.

Killing Zhang Mu, who was at the seventh level of the late stage of the Body Refinement Realm, in a battle beyond his level was a great achievement. However, seeing the direction in which the red light disappeared, he also had a headache.

Zhang Mu is dead. Now all he has to do is clean up the battlefield and destroy the evidence. If the Zhang family comes to investigate, they might make some new discoveries.

He stored Zhang Mu's body in his spatial storage, and then erased all traces of the battle from the area.

After doing all this, Chen Huai'an carried the two buckets of water back to the canteen.

Chen Huai'an was already injured in the battle, but he took a top-grade healing pill. By the time he hopped back to the canteen's backyard, having waded through two buckets of water, his injuries had almost completely healed.

"Chen Huai'an, have you been slacking off again? You're the only one who hasn't finished carrying the water. You're not going to sleep today until you've filled the water tank to the brim." Old Li said fiercely to Chen Huai'an, who had just stepped into the courtyard.

Old Man Li was at the late stage of Body Refinement. He hadn't been carrying water at all during this time; they had all helped him carry his share. Chen Huai'an and the others were quite resentful about this, but unfortunately, even if they joined forces, they were no match for him.

But at this moment, Chen Huai'an was starting to lose patience.

On the way back, he kept thinking about what the red light that flew out from the broken jade pendant on Zhang Mu's body was, and whether it was a message sent to the Zhang family.

Once he becomes a messenger, he won't have much time left. If he spends a lot of time every day helping Old Man Li fetch his share of water, where will he find the time to cultivate and become stronger?

Right now, the Zhang family is targeting him with experts at the late stage of the Body Refinement Realm. What if they send in an expert at the Qi Refining Realm? How will he cope?

To resolve the current crisis, he cannot continue to hide his abilities. He must become one of the top experts on the Miscellaneous Disciples Ranking of the Miscellaneous Disciples Peak. In this way, he can quickly enter the outer sect.

Once he enters the outer gate, even if the Zhang family knows that Zhang Long and Zhang Hu's deaths are related to him, they won't dare to do anything to him.

"Kid, what kind of look is that? You're not happy? Want to go outside and have a proper match?" Old Man Li glared at Chen Huai'an fiercely when he saw that Chen Huai'an dared to glare at him.
