Chapter 694: 694
"What happened? Why are you so excited?" Zhang Ruochen asked .
Xun Hualiu had at least six sword scars on his body, and even his defensive robe was in tatters and dotted with many blood stains . Obviously, he had just been in a big fight .
In spite of that, his face glowed with excitement and his body trembled with joy . "Boss, do you still remember the bet with Gai Hao?"
Zhang Ruochen nodded and said, "Of course, I remember . What about it? Have you fought with Pang Long already?"
Zhang Ruochen once made a bet with Gai Hao: if Pang Long beat Xun Hualiu in the sword contest, Zhang Ruochen would have to give Gai Hao a holy sword .
If Xun Hualiu won the battle, however, Gai Hao would have to do something for Zhang Ruochen .
Judging from Xun Hualilu's excitement, it was quite obvious that he had defeated Pang Long .
Xun Hualiu chuckled . "Boss, you really should have been there . The moment Pang Long was defeated, there was quite a stir in the audience . The disciples of the Supreme Pure Palace were dumbfounded . They could not believe that their Elder Brother Pang Long suffered defeat at my hands . At that moment, many junior sister apprentices shouted my name in admiration . Oh! The feeling is so cool!
"From now on, I will learn hard from Lord Blackie and become a top master . Only top masters are held in high esteem by others . "
Zhang Ruochen patted his shoulder and said, "It's good that you have such awareness . "
When Zhang Ruochen made that bet with Gai Hao, he had been interested in Gai Hao's Yang Spirit Saintly Being .
Having since met Gai Tianjiao, Zhang Ruochen realized that there was a huge difference between Yang Spirit Saintly Being and the Extreme Yang Body .
Anyway, since he had won the bet, it was still a good thing to have Gai Hao owe him a favor . Perhaps it would come in handy in the future .
"Boss, I plan to throw a party with my elder brothers in the Demon Seal Yard and have fun . You must come . "
Defeating Pang Long used to be something beyond Xun Hualiu's reach, so he was now beside himself with excitement .
Zhang Ruochen said, "Forget about it for now . I have something to ask you . Did you know that Sword Saint Xuanji issued a letter of challenge to Nine Serenity Sword Saint?"
Xun Hualiu couldn't help feeling a sense of superiority when he realized that Lin Yue was ill-informed . He said, "Of course, I know . I am sure everyone in the entire Eastern Region knows about this issue . The life and death battle between two great Sword Saints must have caught the world's attention . "
Mu Jiji who stood on the side sighed . "It is said that Sword Saint Xuanji issued this challenge in order to avenge his disciple's murder . "
Zhang Ruochen spoke to himself, "Avenge his disciple's murder?"
At this moment, Zhang Ruochen suddenly understood .
Sword Saint Xuanji issued the letter of challenge in order to make a big deal about Zhang Ruochen's murder . That way, Zhang Ruochen, who was hiding in the dark, would be safer .
If Sword Saint Xuanji had no reaction to his disciple's murder, people would be suspicious about whether Zhang Ruochen had really died .
To Zhang Ruochen's surprise, Nine Serenity Sword Saint actually accepted the challenge .
Obviously, Nine Serenity Sword Saint had not killed Zhang Ruochen, so why would he accept the challenge? Moreover, he never spoke up for himself as if indirectly admitting that he had killed the disciple .
Zhang Ruochen was both grateful and anxious .
Nine Serenity Sword Saint was one of the three great sword saints in the Eastern Region . He was no ordinary person . If his Master had a mishap, Zhang Ruochen would live with guilt for the rest of his life .
"The disciple of Sword Saint Xuanji was a really rare genius . He was not only highly gifted in sword technique but also a master of the power of time and space . If I were Sword Saint Xuanji, I would also fly into a rage upon learning of the murder of such an outstanding disciple . "
"Nine Serenity Sword Saint actually deigned to kill a young warrior? That's not how a sword saint should behave at all . " Xun Hualiu sneered .
So as not to expose his true identity, Zhang Ruochen put on an act and swore at Nine Serenity Sword Saint too . Then he went with Xun Hualiu and Mu Jiji to the Demon Seal Yard .
Xun Hualiu's party was attended mostly by indoor disciples . Some Saint's disciples also came to extend their congratulations .
After three rounds of drinking and toasting, Zhang Ruochen left and went back to Zixia Sacred Mountain .
"Master is literally covering for me . I need to double my efforts so that I won't let him down .
"He has long hoped that I would practice Sword Two to the Completion while in the Fish-Dragon Realm . I must make it before the Sword Technique Conference . "
Zhang Ruochen clenched his fists as his face hardened with determination .
Three months passed .
Zhang Ruochen had refined three drops of Xuanwu Sacred Blood again and finally improved his cultivation to the peak of the Fifth Change in the Fish-Dragon Realm .
His body brimmed with genuine Qi and his Qi sea was like a swelled-up balloon . He had to break through realms before he could continue to absorb more genuine Qi into his body .
