Chapter 23 The decisive battle of life and death

"Mom, look who I brought back." Zhao Chen said happily when he returned home.

Zhang Ling was very happy to see Zhao Qingyan and hurriedly greeted him: "Qingyan, come in and sit down. Is this Manager Tang from the Luo Temple?" She looked at Tang Ruoxin and asked hesitantly.

Tang Ruoxin smiled and saluted, "I'm here to pay my respects to Madam."

"Chen'er, are you in trouble?" Although Zhao Chen activated the innate divine veins, this would not alarm the Luo Temple. The only possibility is that Zhao Chen provoked the Luo Temple. Thinking of this, Zhang Ling couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

"Madam, don't worry, sir is now a distinguished guest of Luo Temple, and I'm just learning alchemy from him." Tang Ruoxin said with a gentle smile.

"Sir? Learn alchemy?" Zhang Ling and Zhao Qingyan were shocked and said in unison.

No one knew that Tang Ruoxin was extremely talented and had reached the level of a second-level alchemist at the age of twenty. If she hadn't said it from her mouth, the two of them would never have believed it.

"What the hell is going on?" Zhang Ling asked in disbelief.

Under the shocked gazes of the two people, Zhao Chen was a little embarrassed, scratched his head in embarrassment, and said: "I don't know what's going on, anyway, the Luoshen Temple wants her to follow me."

Tang Ruoxin smiled sweetly, Zhao Chen's current appearance was completely different from that in Luo Temple, and she wouldn't mind giving Zhao Chen more similar problems if possible.

"Palace Master?!" The two of them were even more shocked. What kind of status is the master of the Luo Temple? He actually valued Zhao Chen so much.

"Madam, you don't know something. The master showed his powerful alchemy skills today. The palace master admired it very much and asked me to follow him." The dimples on Tang Ruoxin's face appeared with a smile, which was very bright and attractive.

Zhao Chen glared at her fiercely. He didn't want Zhang Ling to know too much about such things, which would only cause more trouble.

"Ah? Chen'er is already an alchemist?" Zhang Ling found it incredible and asked.

"I'm not an alchemist, I'm just trying to play around." Zhao Chen quickly explained that if this continues, Zhang Ling will sooner or later doubt his identity, so he can't reveal too much.

Tang Ruoxin wanted to continue, but when she saw Zhao Chen's suggestive eyes, she couldn't help but feel a chill in her back, and couldn't help but close her mouth with a look of horror, "Strange, why am I so afraid of him."

"Haha, my Chen'er has a promising future!" Zhang Ling laughed and was ecstatic. This news was much more shocking than Zhao Chen's opening of the innate divine veins.

After enduring five years of pain, I finally have hope.

Zhao Chen breathed a sigh of relief and smiled awkwardly, "Fortunately, she didn't doubt my identity."

Zhao Chen told Zhang Ling everything about Zhao Qingyan, which made Zhang Ling angry, "Qingyan, you will stay with me from now on." With Zhao Chen's current status, few people in the Prince's Palace would dare to offend her easily.

.

Zhao Qingyan has nowhere to go but here, and this is her best choice.

Night fell quickly. Zhang Ling did not ask too much about the Great Elder. What she was thinking about was the duel with Zhao Yan tomorrow, which made her a little worried. "Chen'er, you have to be more careful tomorrow." Zhang Ling said.

I prayed secretly in my heart.

Early the next morning, a red sun rose from the east, and the sky looked like it was blood-stained, which was extremely strange.

At this time, the "Life and Death Terrace" in the Prince's Mansion was extremely lively, and everyone in the Prince's Mansion was there, just because of a unique battle.

In their eyes, it was impossible for Zhao Chen to defeat Zhao Yan. After all, he had only practiced for five days and there was a huge disparity in strength. They were very willing to see the genius be humiliated.

Zhao Yan also arrived at the life and death stage early. His injuries had long since recovered, and murderous intent flashed across his face, "Zhao Chen! I will repay you twice as much for the shame I suffered today!"

His mind was filled with scenes of Zhao Chen humiliating him. Thinking of this, he didn't care how talented Zhao Chen was. Only by killing Zhao Chen could he wash away his shame. His heart was already filled with hatred.

An hour later, Zhao Chen still did not appear. Zhao Yan's face was full of disdain and he shouted loudly: "Even if he activates his innate divine veins, he is still trash. I don't think he dares to come to this duel."

"Wow!"

The audience immediately exploded, sparking a heated discussion.

"I think it was the right choice for Zhao Chen not to come."

"How can he defeat Zhao Yan after only practicing for five days? It would be a wise choice not to come, but he will have to live in ridicule from now on."

"An ant is greedy for life, let alone a genius like him with innate divine veins."

"..."

Zhao Chen didn't come, which seemed to be expected by everyone. After all, any normal person would make the same choice.

Another hour passed, but Zhao Chen still didn't show up. The smile on Zhao Yan's face became even wider, and he asked the referee: "What will happen if he doesn't come?"

"If you don't show up in the battle of life and death, you will be deprived of your identity and expelled from the prince's palace." The referee pondered for a moment and said slowly.

With Zhao Chen's talent, it is impossible to expel him from the prince's palace, nor to deprive him of his identity. Zhao Yan knows this truth very well, "If he doesn't come, do I have the right to kill him?"

The referee was stunned. According to logic, Zhao Yan did have this right, but the Marquis would not allow it.

"Haha, little bastard, you alone are not enough to kill me!" At this moment, a cold shout full of domineering air resounded throughout the life and death platform.

Zhao Yan was shocked, the referee was shocked, and everyone in the audience was shocked.

They never thought that Zhao Chen would appear again. Once he appeared, it meant that no one could save Zhao Chen. A life-or-death battle was either life or death.

After a moment, Zhao Yan came to his senses and was overjoyed. Zhao Chen's appearance saved him a lot of trouble. He seemed to have seen the scene of Zhao Chen being tortured and killed by him, and a cruel sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"How dare he come? Is he sure he can defeat Zhao Yan?"

"Impossible. He has only been practicing for five days. It is considered good to have reached the early stage of Huang level."

"Did the first innate divine vein in the Prince's Mansion just die like this?"

Many people are reluctant to have Zhao Chen appear. After all, Zhao Chen represents the hope of the Prince's Palace at this time, but the reality is often not satisfactory.

"Zhao Chen, I don't know who gave you the courage to fight, but since you are here, I will take good care of you." Zhao Yan had a sinister smile on his face, and he pronounced the word "care" very seriously.

Zhao Chen frowned and looked confused, "How could his injury heal so quickly?" According to his estimate, it would take Zhao Yan at least half a month to recover, but he recovered in just five days.

, this shows that there is someone helping behind him.

"Who is helping him behind his back?" Zhao Chen is very interested in the person behind Zhao Yan. He wants to see who wants him dead so much. After the duel is over, all the truth will emerge.

"Zhao Chen! If you're scared, kneel down and beg me, and I might give you a treat." Zhao Chen didn't come to the stage of life and death for a long time, and Zhao Yan couldn't help but mocked.

Zhao Chen's eyes suddenly turned cold and he didn't say much. Strong strength is the best counterattack. He hurriedly walked towards the life and death stage, but someone grabbed him behind him.

"Chen'er, you must come back alive." Zhang Ling said worriedly.
