Nanling.
The seat of the Hongwu Sect.
An old man walked out of a cave.
The old man's hair was disheveled, his gray robe had turned black and was in tatters, and his whole body exuded a foul smell, just like a wild man in the mountains.
Uh-huh!
Suddenly, the old man's figure flashed, and he rushed to a huge rock in an instant. His right hand turned into a palm and struck the rock with one palm.
With a slap of his palm, the old man's palm was suddenly covered by a layer of black mist, exuding terrifying energy fluctuations.
"boom--"
In an instant, the huge rock shattered into pieces, and the sound resounded throughout the Hongwu Gate.
The boulder fragments flew in all directions, but they were unable to hurt the old man at all.
Before those stone fragments could get close to his body, they were shattered by the mist covering his body!
That mist is true energy!
The old man's palm stimulated the true energy in the body, but the true energy could not leave the body and could only cover the palm and body surface.
He has already stepped into the divine realm with one foot and has become a half-step strong man in the divine realm. Next, as long as he converts all the inner energy in his body into true energy and controls the true energy to attack out of the body, he will officially become a strong man in the divine realm!
As the loud noise came out, everyone in the Hongwu Sect was alarmed, and many disciples rushed towards this direction.
"The Great Elder is out of seclusion!"
Soon, the first batch of Hongwu Sect disciples who arrived at the scene shouted excitedly when they saw the old man with disheveled hair.
The old man's name is Hong Xigong, he is the younger brother of Hong Xikang, the head of Hongwu Sect, and the great elder of Hongwu Sect!
Uh-huh!
Hong Xigong's figure flashed and disappeared directly from the Hongwu Sect disciples.
He had just come out of seclusion and needed to take a shower and change his clothes before meeting with his senior brother, Hong Xikang.
after an hour.
Hongxigong came to Hongxikang’s residence.
"elder brother!"
Hongxi Palace bowed its hands to Hongxi Kang.
"Breakthrough?"
Hong Xikang stood up to greet him. He could see that his younger brother was full of energy, his face was rosy, and he exuded a terrifying aura.
"One foot has entered the realm of gods. It will take some time for a full breakthrough."
Hong Xigong said.
"It is difficult for a warrior to break through to the divine realm in one go. He needs to take a step-by-step approach. It is very rare for you to be able to break through even half a step of the divine realm this time in retreat. I am so gratified!"
Hong Xikang smiled and praised, then changed the topic and said:
"Besides, you came out of seclusion at the right time, and there happens to be something you need to do here!"
"What's up?"
Hong Xigong was stunned.
"You hid your strength, pretended to be at the peak of your strength, and launched a life-or-death challenge to a young man named Chen Ye..."
Hong Xikang first told what Hong Xigong wanted to do, and then added the whole story.
Including Chen Ye's killing of Hong Wu, the leader of the Hong Family Martial Arts Hall, as well as Gao Mingyuan and the Gao Family's instructions.
As one of the well-known martial arts sects in Nanling, Hongwu Sect has been able to develop rapidly. In addition to the emergence of martial arts geniuses like Hong Xikang in the sect, it mainly relies on the support of the Gao family.
"That bastard from the Chen family is so brave. He even dared to smash down the gate of Gao Mansion!"
Hongxigong was very angry when he learned that Chen Ye had killed Hong Wu, but he was a little surprised when he heard that Chen Ye smashed the gate of Gaofu and even went to stand guard for Chen Ye at night.
"He relied on the support of Chen Xiurui and the Heavenly Prison man behind him, and the fact that the watchman looked at him differently and did whatever he wanted. But now the situation has changed. What he did has made the public angry, and the higher-ups are furious, and he has lost support!"
Hong Xikang sneered and said: "Taking a step back, even if the three parties are still supporting him, if you kill him in a life-and-death challenge, it is reasonable and legal, and no one can say anything."
"When am I going to pick his head off?"
Hong Xigong nodded and asked bluntly.
"Three days later."
Hong Xikang said.
"Why do you have to wait three days?"
Hong Xigong was puzzled. He wished he could kill Chen Ye now to avenge Hong Wu and help the Gao family relieve their anger at the same time!
"That bastard from the Chen family suddenly showed up with a senior brother. Gao Mingyuan meant to catch them all..."
Hong Xikang told Gao Mingyuan's plan, and then added:
"At that time, Gao Mingyuan and I will go to Jiangzhou with you!"
"good!"
"These two days are just a good time for you to familiarize yourself with and consolidate the Half-Step Divine Realm."
"Brother, you think too highly of that bastard of the Chen family! Don't say that I have broken through to the Half-Step Divine Realm. Even if I haven't, I can crush him to death with one hand!"
Hongxi Palace disagreed.
In his opinion, killing Chen Ye with his strength is no different from killing a chicken!
"In three days, I will go to Jiangzhou and challenge Chen Ye to life and death!"
same day.
Hongxi Palace issued a challenge, which instantly caused a sensation in Xia Guowu's martial arts community.
"Hongxi Palace is out of seclusion!"
"The King of Hell Chen killed Hong Wu of the Hongwu Clan. The Hongxi Palace wants to avenge Hong Wu!"
"Hongxi Palace has long been at the peak of Huajin. In the past few years, it has been in retreat to attack the divine realm. Even if the attack is not successful, it is still the absolute overlord among the Huajin masters. It can even be said to be invincible under the divine realm - Chen Yanwang dares to take on the challenge of life and death. ?"
For a while.
There was a lot of discussion among Xia Guowu's martial arts circles, and everyone was curious about whether Chen Ye dared to accept the challenge.
Not only the martial arts community in Xia Kingdom, but also the upper class society in Xia Kingdom are also paying attention to this matter!
All this is just because of Chen Ye!
Even though Chen Ye lost the support of the Chen family, Tian Yu and the leaders of the Xia Shou organization, he still stood at the forefront of Xia Kingdom's upper class society, and his every move attracted much attention!
East China Sea, by the Huangpu River, on the top floor of the towering financial building.
"Miss, do you think Chen Ye will accept the challenge?"
Tang Yue reported to Xiao Ziyu that Hong Xi Palace was going to challenge Chen Ye to a life and death challenge, and asked curiously.
"meeting."
Xiao Ziyu gave the answer almost without hesitation.
"Why?"
Tang Yue's eyes widened and he asked subconsciously.
"The moment the higher-ups targeted him, the Hongwu Sect jumped out. With his acting style, he would definitely not back down. Moreover, for long-term considerations, he must fight this battle and win! Only in this way can he deter those who are ready to take action. The ghosts and monsters. That’s what they call shooting the first bird!”
Xiao Ziyu spoke slowly, analyzing the matter completely from Chen Ye's perspective, and then said expectantly:
"In three days, Jiangzhou should be very lively."
"Miss, shall we go to watch the battle?"
"Of course."
The corners of Xiao Ziyu's mouth turned up slightly, outlining a charming arc.
That was the man who would take her into the Xiao family in the future!
Jiangzhou.
When news of Hongxi Palace's life-and-death challenge came out, migrant worker Chen Ye was bombarded with text messages and phone calls one after another.
Among them, Xiaojiu rushed to Chen Ye's office again in a hurry after the phone bombing failed.
"Why don't you answer my call? You don't really want to face Hong Xi Palace, do you?"
When Xiaojiu entered the door, he asked Chen Ye anxiously and worriedly.
"I have accepted the challenge."
Chen Ye smiled slightly.
"You...you are confused!"
Xiao Jiu's eyes widened in shock and said: "According to the intelligence information from the Xia Shou Organization, the Hongxi Palace had reached the peak of its energy a few years ago, and now it is very likely that it has taken the step towards the divine realm - he went to You launched a life-and-death challenge, it is obvious that I want to trap you!"
Chen Ye smiled and said nothing. How could he not know this?
Who cheats whom, that is the question!
"You can still laugh?"
Xiaojiu was like an ant on a hot pot, anxious and couldn't help but ask:
"How did you accept the challenge?"
"Hongxi Palace, I will bury you in Jiangzhou in three days!"
Chen Ye spoke slowly, with an understatement.
However--
These words were like thunder, exploding in the Xia Guowu martial arts world!
…
Some people died, but not completely...
