It grows stronger when faced with a strong opponent; even an Immortal Emperor would have to kneel be

His punch, if it didn't kill Xiao Rufeng, would at least keep him bedridden for ten days to half a month.

Zhang Qi rubbed his eyes violently; the scene before him was utterly unbelievable.

No matter how many times Zhang Qi rubbed his eyes or opened them, Xiao Rufeng in front of him remained energetic and unharmed, staring at him intently.

Holy crap, this is unbelievable!

"Zhang Qi, why did you show mercy? This kid is Chen Ping's apprentice. Capturing him will lure Chen Ping out."

Zhao Long stared at Zhang Qi with displeasure. The two of them had come to Xingyue Peak to cause trouble for Chen Ping on the orders of Huoyun Zhenjun.

To everyone's surprise, Zhang Qi deliberately let the opponent win at a crucial moment.

He even began to suspect that Zhang Qi might be an undercover agent planted by Xingyue Peak.

Zhang Qi was at a loss for words. His cultivation at the fourth level of the Profound Core stage had failed to defeat a cultivator at the fifth level of the Foundation Establishment stage.

If this were told to anyone, absolutely no one would believe it.

Zhang Qi was too lazy to explain any further.

Just then, Zhao Long's eyes widened in shock as the two of them discovered that the disciples of Xingyue Peak were heading towards the mountain gate.

Once the disciples of Xingyue Peak enter the mountain gate, they will have no further opportunity to make a move.

If someone forcibly enters Star Moon Peak without the Peak Master's permission, even if they are beaten to death on the spot, it is their own fault.

This is because it is a right granted by the sect leader of the Qingxuan Sect to the peak master of each mountain.

However, if a disciple of Xingyue Peak is injured outside of Xingyue Peak, it can at most be considered a conflict between disciples.

When the time comes, their peak master will step in to mediate, turning a major issue into a minor one, and a minor one into nothing, and the matter will be resolved without any further discussion.

Zhao Long recalled the mission he had brought with him.

Thinking of this, Zhao Long's figure suddenly flashed, and his aura of the fourth level of the Profound Core Realm surged, instantly rushing to the front of all the Star Moon Peak disciples.

Ye Qingxue and Xiao Rufeng, adhering to the principle that a wise man doesn't suffer a loss in front of him, immediately led the disciples of Xingyue Peak to retreat back to Xingyue Peak.

Once they return to Star Moon Peak, no one will dare to lay a hand on them.

But just a moment later, Zhao Long suddenly blocked their way.

Zhang Qi followed closely behind, and the two men blocked the group's path with menacing eyes.

Ye Qingxue and Xiao Rufeng exchanged a glance, then looked at Zhang Qi and Zhao Long with furrowed brows.

Although they possess rare physical constitutions and outstanding talent for cultivation, their cultivation level is simply too low.

Facing Zhao Long, who was at the fourth level of the Profound Core Realm, and Zhang Qi beside him, they had no chance of winning.

"Your name is Ye Qingxue, right? It was you who refused my Senior Brother Liu's invitation and refused to become a disciple of our Fire Cloud Peak."

"Today I will cripple your cultivation, so that you will never be able to embark on the path of cultivation again."

Zhao Long spoke to Ye Qingxue in a vicious tone.

"How dare you! My master will never let you get away with this!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingxue's pretty face suddenly changed.

Zhao Long actually threatened to cripple her.

For cultivators, having their cultivation and foundation destroyed is no different from being killed outright.

Zhao Long's heart is so cruel.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Long immediately burst into laughter.

"Why wouldn't I dare? I have Fire Cloud Peak standing behind me! Do you really think your master is so capable? He's a good-for-nothing himself, barely able to protect himself!"

"My master, True Monarch Huoyun, has joined forces with several other peak masters to impeach Chen Ping and expel him from the Qingxuan Sect! A mere Body Tempering Realm cultivator serves as an elder deacon, and has monopolized so many cultivation resources of the Qingxuan Sect over the years; it's time for him to get out!"

"Even if Murong Yue comes this time, she can't save Chen Ping!"

"Once Chen Ping is expelled from the Qingxuan Sect, I'll see who can protect him then. We can do whatever we want with him!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingxue and Xiao Rufeng both clenched their fists tightly and gritted their teeth.

Huoyun Peak actually wanted to expel their master from Qingxuan Sect. They originally thought that although Xingyue Peak and Huoyun Peak had a grudge, it was not to the point of being a life-or-death struggle.

After all, they belong to the same sect, so what deep-seated hatred could there be?

But now Zhao Long's words not only mean that they will destroy their cultivation, but also that their master will be expelled from the sect.

This is clearly an attempt to wipe them out completely!

This is absolutely outrageous!

Zhang Qi and Zhao Long exchanged a glance and prepared to make their move.

At that very moment, two anxious shouts came from afar.

"Zhang Qi, Zhao Long, you two stop right there!"

Yun Muyao and Wang Qing rushed over. They were also disciples of Huoyun Peak, but not true disciples, only ordinary disciples.

Over the years, they have cultivated to the Profound Core Realm and served as stewards and elders, all thanks to their own abilities.

Seeing from afar that Zhao Long and Zhang Qi were about to attack the disciples of Xingyue Peak and cripple Ye Qingxue and Xiao Rufeng's cultivation, they hurriedly rushed over.

After all, Chen Ping had once saved their lives, and now that they saw Chen Ping's two apprentices in danger, they could not stand idly by.

Zhang Qi and Zhao Long were both slightly taken aback when they saw Yun Muyao and Wang Qing arrive.

"What are you two doing here? Get out of my way and don't get in my way."

Zhao Long snorted coldly, his tone full of impatience.

Zhang Qi also turned his head away instantly, giving the two of them no friendly look whatsoever.

This scene immediately enraged Yun Muyao and Wang Qing.

These two people actually dared to treat them like that.

If they hadn't come to their rescue, Zhang Qi and Zhao Long, who were still teenagers, would have died at the hands of the Blood Demon Sect and become food for them.

Later, it was the two of them who brought Zhang Qi and Zhao Long to Huoyun Peak and carefully guided them in their cultivation.

Perhaps out of sympathy, they took extra care of the two of them at the time.

But now that Zhang Qi and Zhao Long have shown their talent and become the personal disciples of Huoyun Peak, and have achieved success in their cultivation, they dare to give them attitude and speak to them with such arrogance.

Wang Qing immediately shouted angrily, "You two, have you forgotten who saved you and who guided you onto the path of cultivation? How dare you speak to us like that now!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Qi and Zhao Long exchanged a glance and then simultaneously let out a cold laugh.

That's right, it was indeed Yun Muyao and Wang Qing who saved them back then, and it was also they who led them onto the path of cultivation.

But if they hadn't had their own talent, they wouldn't have been able to get to where they are today.

At most, Yun Muyao and Wang Qing had done them some favors, but that was all.

After all, they are now cultivators at the fourth level of the Profound Core Realm, and also the personal disciples of the True Monarch of Fire Cloud Peak. Their status and strength are far beyond what Yun Muyao and Wang Qing can compare to.

"It is true that you saved us back then, and it is true that you guided us onto the path of cultivation, but that does not mean that you have the right to point fingers at us."

"If you dare to interfere with us again, believe me, I'll take care of you all!"

Zhang Qi and Zhao Long spoke at the same time, their eyes filled with ferocity and terror.

As soon as they finished speaking, the two of them simultaneously unleashed the aura of the fourth level of the Profound Core Realm, instantly blasting Yun Muyao and Wang Qing away.

Yun Muyao and Wang Qing were so shocked that they staggered backward, their faces pale. Looking at Zhang Qi and Zhao Long's figures, their hearts sank to the bottom, filled with sorrow and grief.

Unexpectedly, he ended up saving two ungrateful wretches.

I should have kept quiet.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have ended up in such a disheartening state.

"Uncle Yun, Uncle Wang, look at Huo Yunfeng, he's such an ungrateful scoundrel. There's no point in him staying there. Why don't you join our Xingyue Peak?"

"Uncle Chen also told me that he has always had a very good impression of the two of you."

Just then, a clear female voice came from the gate of Xingyue Peak.

Behind her followed a large group of veteran disciples from Xingyue Peak, each exuding an imposing aura.

The person in the lead was none other than Lu Youran.
