Chapter 278

After fighting for two hours, Qi Zeyan suddenly withdrew his sword and retreated after an extremely brutal battle.

"In every previous battle, it was said that you were always pointing to the end. Why did you fight to the death with me today? You should know that if you continue to fight like this, you may lose your life."

"The most sensible thing to do is to let the monkey in the dark take action, repeat the same trick and leave?"

Qi Zeyan looked at Gu Chen with burning eyes and asked.

Gu Chen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and grinned.

"Brother Qi generously went to the appointment today and said that he wanted to fight for life and death. Naturally, I have no reason to back down. Brother Qi, you didn't mean to kill me. Why do you seem to be shaken at this moment?"

Qi Zeyan took a deep look at Gu Chen, and there was a feeling of sympathy in his heart.

"You and I didn't know each other before, and you made such a big commotion, I really wanted to kill you today and make the two houses clean. But after fighting with you for so long, I feel that it would be too much for you to die now." Too bad?"

Qi Zeyan retracted his sword into its sheath, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle's.

"You want to regard me as your stepping stone, and I also want to regard you as my sharpening stone. When you step into the king's realm and continue the unfinished battle, then you will make my heart move even more."

Qi Zeyan turned around and flew away, but Gu Chen didn't stop him, just murmured. "Not a simple character."

He sat cross-legged on the spot, closed his eyes and meditated.

The life-and-death battle just now had benefited him a lot, and he needed to digest it urgently.

After a while, Pang Yong and other heavenly killers had lured him away and came back to look for Gu Chen.

"My lord, how is the battle going? Has this person helped you break through the bottleneck?"

Pang Yong said expectantly, this is already the eighth king, and Gu Chen created a miracle, which made him look forward to his promotion even more.

Gu Chen didn't respond, he just pondered silently, his whole body shrouded in light.

After a long time, he opened his eyes and shook his head slowly.

"It's almost..."

Qi Zeyan is very strong, and he helped Gu Chen more than any previous king. He felt that the bottleneck was almost broken.

However, every time at a critical moment, when the ocean of primordial fluid in the dantian was about to shrink sharply and solidify into a golden elixir, he felt a sense of restraint inexplicably.

This kind of restraint seems to come not only from the body, but also from this world.

It was as if there was something shackling him in the world, and the invisible shackles were too difficult to break.

At the same time, the overbearing bones of the sky in his body released a vague aura, faintly contending with this force.

Gu Chen felt more and more that the reason why the breakthrough was difficult had a lot to do with his physique.

It seems that next time he fights, he needs more stimulation.

"Then, what should we do now, my lord? I'm afraid it will be difficult to find a suitable opponent?"

Pang Yong and the others couldn't help but stare at each other.

These days, it is becoming more and more difficult for Gu Chen to find an opponent. They pretend to be him to divert the attention of the academy's search and arrest team, and the effect is getting worse and worse.

Like today, Gu Chen did not hesitate to send his avatar to show his face in front of people, which is why he finally got such an opponent as Qi Zeyan.

It is very difficult to succeed with the same trick for the second time. Since those newly promoted kings chose to avoid the battle today, they will not change their minds tomorrow.

"I have another idea, and I don't need to bother you next."

Gu Chen thought about it, and said to everyone. "You have worked hard these days, you can go back."

"My lord, you will break through when the time comes, don't you need us to protect the law?"

Pang Yong hesitated.

"no need."

Gu Chen shook his head, declined everyone's kindness, and handed over the promised reward to Pang Yong to distribute.

Pang Yong and others left one after another, while Gu Chen continued to meditate. By the time the injury was almost healed, it was already early the next morning.

He disguised himself as an ordinary student again and sneaked into the Zhenwu Academy, thinking about how to find an opponent today.

Not long after entering the academy, he heard a piece of news about himself.

"That Chen Gu is really brave. He provoked the Demon Race a few days ago, and this time he even provoked the Stone Race."

"He also attacked the Stone Clan? Didn't he just fight Qi Zeyan yesterday? How is the battle going?"

"I don't know, I asked several students in Nanhua Holy Land, and they said that Qi Zeyan didn't say anything when he came back yesterday. As for the Shizu, hey, I heard people say that they put down cruel words everywhere, saying that if Chen Gu dared to show up, he would be ruthless." Teach him a lesson, think he provoked them too."

"What a fierce man."

Several students sighed and walked past Gu Chen, unaware that the person they were talking about was right in front of them.

Hearing this conversation, Gu Chen couldn't help squinting his eyes, and walked towards the residence of Shi Jian, the young master of the Shi Clan.

Not long after, he was already standing in front of Shi Jian, revealing his identity.

"Brother Shi asked people to talk around in the academy. I don't know what the purpose is?"

Shi Jian smiled and told the people around him, "Go and call Shi Polu."

Several Shizu people nodded, gave Gu Chen a hard look as usual, expressing their dissatisfaction with him, and then left.

"I want to help Brother Chen."

Only then did Shi Jian answer Gu Chen's question.

Gu Chen was silent, even though he had guessed when he heard the news, he was still a little touched when the words came from Shi Jian's mouth.

Right now is an extremely critical moment for him, and the other party's actions are undoubtedly a timely help.

"Thank you very much."

Gu Chen said solemnly.

"Brother Chen, you don't need to be polite. If it wasn't for your help, I wouldn't be able to get in touch with Miss Mu and even the Shenmu sect behind her. This is just reciprocation."

Shi Jian said cheerfully.

The two chatted for a while, and the Shi Polu that Shi Jian had mentioned came.

This person, Gu Chen, knows that he is also one of the newly promoted kings this year, with strong strength, if it weren't for Shi Jian's special blood, he would be the boss of the students of the Shi clan.

"Young master, I'm here."

When Shi Polu came, he greeted Shi Jian first, and it was obvious that he respected him very much.

"Polu, I have already told you about the matter in advance, so you can go with Brother Chen."

Shi Jian smiled.

Shi Polu nodded, then turned to stare at Gu Chen. "Hmph, it's too cheap for you kid, if it wasn't for the young master's words, I wouldn't be your training partner!"

Gu Chen didn't mind smiling, he already knew the temperament of the Shi people.

"Brother Shi, I have another merciless request."

He hesitated and said.

"Brother Chen, if you have any difficulties, just speak up."

Gu Chen then expressed his thoughts, and Shi Polu immediately lost his temper when he heard about it.

"Bastard boy! What did you say? Say it again if you have the guts? It's not enough for me to be your opponent, you want to find another one?"

He was about to explode, what Gu Chen said was simply questioning his lack of strength!

"Brother Chen, Polu's strength is definitely not inferior to other kings you have fought against."

After Shi Jian explained, he also thought that Gu Chen suspected that Shi Polu was not worthy to be his opponent.

"Brother Shi has misunderstood. I am not questioning Brother Polu's strength. The Stone Clan has outstanding talents, and Brother Polu is outstanding. Naturally, there is no need to say more about his strength."

"Since that's the case, why does Brother Chen still want to find another opponent?" Shi Jian's expression turned serious.
