Talismans were exceedingly precious.
Those who possessed a talisman, if they encountered danger, could rely on it.
To activate the power of a martial artist of the third rank, Warrior class, and resolve fatal attacks!
"Heh heh, your strength is merely at the seventh stage of Martial Apprentice.
You can't possibly break through the defense of a fourth rank Warrior, Martial Guard!"
Saying this, Chu Xingyao swung his sword again, lunging towards Chu Chen!
"Seeking death!"
Chu Chen snorted coldly and charged out as well!
Boom!
Fist energy exploded.
Terrifying airwaves rolled.
In an instant, Chu Xingyao was forced to retreat repeatedly.
Crack!
The long sword in his hand snapped!
His body trembled violently, his face pale and covered in blood.
"This is fifth stage Martial Apprentice!"
"How could you possibly have such strength!"
"It's only been half a month, and your strength has increased severalfold!
Could it be that your cultivation speed has surpassed our ancestor Chu Tianwu!"
Chu Xingyao cried out in unwillingness.
He couldn't believe that in just half a month, Chu Chen's strength could increase several times over!
"You are mistaken."
Chu Chen slowly shook his head, "This is not my strength."
Hum!
As Chu Chen's words fell.
A wisp of sharp golden light flashed!
"Martial Master level martial skill?!"
Everyone gasped.
"You, your martial meridians have transformed into gold-attribute martial meridians?!"
"How is this possible!"
"Your废脉 (waste meridians) were destroyed long ago, how could they have recovered!"
Martial meridian transformation required a special opportunity; otherwise, there was no hope of achieving it.
Even though the Chu family possessed extremely rich cultivation resources, only a handful of ancestors throughout the generations.
Had successfully completed martial meridian transformation and advanced to the Martial Master realm!
And Chu Chen had clearly not yet entered the Martial Master rank.
Under such circumstances, how could he cultivate Martial Master level martial skills!?
A wave of shock and uproar.
Under the disbelieving eyes of the crowd, Chu Chen held the golden long saber in one hand, leaped up, and slashed down fiercely!
With a *puchi* sound!
Blood splattered.
A hideous gash appeared on Chu Xingyao's neck, and his head was directly severed!
"Ahhh, young master is dead!"
A group of servants and maids cried out in alarm.
As their exclamations spread, the entire training ground instantly descended into chaos, with cries of grief erupting everywhere!
"Slaughter!"
"Slaughter!!"
Chu Chen's eyes were sharp and cold, like a bloodthirsty beast.
This scene caused the onlookers to distance themselves.
Chu Chen seemed to have lost control!
"Chu Chen!"
A stern shout echoed.
"Father! Save me!"
Chu Xingyao clutched his bleeding neck and struggled to shout.
At this moment, a tall and imposing figure strode out from the edge of the training ground!
It was the Chu family patriarch, Chu Tianba!
"Stop!" Chu Tianba's gaze was stern.
Clang!
Chu Chen sheathed his saber.
Seeing that Chu Chen had not continued his attack, Chu Tianba breathed a sigh of relief and said sternly, "Wretch, kneel down for me!"
Chu Chen stood expressionless.
Chu Tianba immediately became furious and roared, "You rebellious son! Do you dare not listen to your father?
I command you, kneel down!"
His voice resounded.
The surrounding crowd fell silent.
No one had expected.
That Chu Tianba would suddenly intervene and stop Chu Chen.
After all, in their eyes, Chu Chen was just a good-for-nothing.
Not even a Martial Apprentice, yet possessing combat power above fifth stage Martial Apprentice, he was like a monster!
But Chu Xingyao, regardless of anything else, was a rising star among the younger generation of the Chu family.
Moreover, this sparring match was organized by the Chu family. If Chu Chen won, he would receive ten thousand low-grade spirit stones as a reward!
And the reward of ten thousand low-grade spirit stones was equivalent to ten Qi Gathering Pills!
Such a temptation, how could Chu Tianba give it up?
"Father, I was framed!" Chu Xingyao quickly argued.
"Framed?"
Chu Tianba narrowed his eyes, "Your armor is shattered, if he didn't do it, could you have broken it yourself?"
Despite saying this, he was still somewhat wary.
Because Chu Chen's strength was too bizarre, making Chu Tianba feel uneasy.
"You wretch, how dare you attack me!"
Chu Xingyao gritted his teeth, his eyes red.
He hated Chu Chen to the core!
Clearly a good-for-nothing, yet possessing such terrifying talent!
He was so resentful!
"Since you are stubborn, then you shall not live either."
Chu Tianba raised his palm, channeling true qi to his fingertips, and grabbed at Chu Chen from a distance!
Rumble!
The air vibrated, wind and thunder intertwined, forming a giant claw of lightning that descended upon Chu Chen!
"Father, spare my life!"
Chu Chen cried out in alarm.
"Hahaha! Chu Chen, you have this day too!"
Chu Xingyao was overjoyed, his excitement boundless.
However.
Just as the lightning claw was about to touch Chu Chen.
Whoosh!
A streak of dazzling light bloomed!
A golden long saber tore through the void and struck the lightning claw!
With a *bang* and a burst of sound.
The lightning claw collapsed and dissipated into nothingness.
Immediately, Chu Chen drew his saber and shot forward like a streak of light, his blade cutting through the void and slashing towards Chu Xingyao.
*Puchi!* A head flew off, and the body fell to the ground.
Chu Chen's steps faltered slightly, almost falling.
But then, he steadied himself and continued to walk forward.
And at this moment.
Everyone's faces were filled with shock.
"How can this be?!"
"Young Master actually... lost!"
"How can his strength be so terrifying?!"
The Chu family disciples were all dumbfounded.
Especially Chu Heng.
He had been preparing to step in and save Chu Xingyao.
But he never expected that it would all be too late.
Even his father had made a move, yet it was blocked by Chu Chen!
When did this guy acquire such strength?
"Who are you?"
Chu Tianba's face was grim as he stared at Chu Chen.
In his memory.
His son Chu Chen was untalented, only knowing how to steal and pilfer, living a life of leisure.
Furthermore, Chu Chen's martial spirit talent was extremely weak. Such a useless person.
Even if he taught him personally, there would be no progress, and it would only delay his cultivation!
And now, he felt a deep sense of threat!
"Who am I? You will know soon enough!"
A faint smile played on Chu Chen's lips, and he said indifferently, "However, for now, please shut up immediately!"
"You..."
Chu Tianba was furious. m..oΓg
But in the next second.
With a dull *thud*.
Chu Chen threw a punch, hitting Chu Tianba in the abdomen, sending him flying backward and crashing through the wall, falling into the courtyard. "Pfft..."
Chu Tianba coughed up blood incessantly.
He felt as if his bones and sinews were falling apart, enduring excruciating pain.
"Hiss!"
"He actually injured the Old Patriarch!"
"Damn it!"
A chilling killing intent surged through his entire body.
The Chu family members were terrified and retreated.
But the next moment, a clear and melodious bell sound rang out, like a spell.
In an instant.
Everyone present froze, like puppets, standing stunned.
Only Chu Chen was an exception.
"This sound..."
Chu Chen's eyebrows twitched. Suddenly.
Chu Chen's heart trembled violently, and he sensed danger.
With a *swoosh*.
He rapidly moved several meters sideways and turned to flee.
As soon as he turned his head, he saw Chu Tianba crawling out from the ruins of the courtyard wall.
At this moment.
Chu Tianba, covered in blood, his face ferocious, stared at Chu Chen.
"Chu Chen, you beast! How dare you harm Xingyao! I will make you wish you were dead!"
Before his words had even fallen.
