Ye Xiruo and Jue Chen looked at each other, and in front of them stood the Azure Lotus Heaven, which could burn almost everything.

Jue Chen's true essence surged once again, and the sword formation in his hand seemed to have changed, as if it wanted to envelop Qinglian Tian within it.

"Zhang Hua will not see you."

"Unless you are Zhang Hua himself, but unfortunately you are not."

"How do you know I'm not Zhang Hua in real life?"

Ye Xiruo remained silent, and the Azure Yang True Qi flew out from his fingertips, falling into the Azure Lotus Heaven. Wood generates fire, and the Azure Lotus Heaven expanded again. Invisible spiritual power enveloped the Azure Lotus Heaven, attempting to break through the sword shield erected by Jue Chen.

As a swordsman, Jue Chen would never admit defeat. However, he had never encountered an opponent like Ye Xiruo before.

Her swordsmanship was mediocre, even poor, but her spiritual power was not low. The ball of flame in her hand seemed to have a life of its own, which was quite terrifying. Could the little girl in front of her be an alchemist?

Why would an alchemist go to such lengths to become a disciple of Heavenly Sword Peak?

Even for the sake of Xiu Qiyu, Ye Xiruo would never compromise easily. With one hand pressed against Qingliantian, Ye Xiruo's aura became fierce.

Jue Chen swung his sword continuously, the silver-white shield tightly enveloping him.

It is evident that the power of the Azure Lotus Heaven is constantly increasing, while the shield erected by Jue Chen is being devoured by the Azure Lotus Heaven every moment, and then quickly returns to its original state, and so on, in an endless cycle.

The two are now locked in a stalemate, neither willing to back down.

Whether Ye Xiruo's Qingyang True Qi or Juechen's True Essence will be exhausted first is the key to determining the winner between the two.

In terms of pure skill, Ye Xiruo is naturally no match for Jue Chen. As long as Qinglian Tian cannot get close to Jue Chen, Jue Chen will be safe. Therefore, the one in danger will be Ye Xiruo herself.

After all, Ye Xiruo's attack power is indeed not very good.

The Azure Yang True Qi was exhausted. There was another way, which was to directly throw wood-attribute spirit crystals into the Azure Lotus Heaven. Although it was wasteful and the effect was not as good as the Azure Yang True Qi, it was enough to hold off Jue Chen.

Watching Qingliantian continuously devour the spirit crystals, Ye Xiruo felt an unbearable heartache. There was nothing she could do about it.

Taking out another sword from her spatial ring, Ye Xiruo attacked Jue Chen from the other side, unleashing a barrage of ten thousand swords infused with the Ice Heart Flame.

If once doesn't work, try twice. He refused to believe that he couldn't pry open Juechen's tortoise shell.

"I'd like to see whether you have more true essence or I have more spirit crystals."

"Stop it."

"Unless you agree to take me to see Master Zhang Hua."

"I really can't make that decision."

Without further ado, Ye Xiruo exploded, wielding her sword and slashing at Jue Chen's sword shield, or more accurately, Jue Chen's domain, from all angles and directions.

Jue Chen, who was being besieged by Qing Lian Tian and Bing Xin Yan, was also in a bad situation. One of his sleeves had already turned to ashes, and if he hadn't dodged quickly, his hand would have turned to ashes as well.

Jue Chen refused to stop, and Ye Xiruo refused to back down either, so the two remained locked in a stalemate. No one knew who would fall next.

However, the next second, Qinglian Tian unleashed ten thousand swords simultaneously, and Jue Chen's sword formation vanished in an instant.

The two of them seemed to be frozen in place.

They both had been injected with a needle and were now frozen in place, like statues, unable to move.

"Who ambushed me?" I never expected that Tianjian Peak would actually try to gang up on me. Where did their chivalrous spirit go?

"Third junior sister, please let us go."

At the top of the steps, shrouded in mountain mist, a peerless figure in a scarlet dress lightly touched the ground with her toes and descended into the mist. Her body was graceful and light, like a bird in flight. Her face seemed to be shrouded in a thin layer of mist, obscuring her true features.

However, just from those stunningly beautiful eyes, one could tell that this must be a woman of unparalleled beauty.

Her hands, like the most perfect works of art, had a string of red agate stones hanging on her wrist.

"Fairy, it is truly an honor to meet you today."

"So, you came here for me."

I can't respond to that. Good heavens, how could there be such a woman on Tianjian Peak?

"Third Junior Sister, please let me go!" Jue Chen couldn't help but speak up. Third Junior Sister's Heavenly Profound Divine Needle was elusive and impossible to defend against. Coupled with her unparalleled lightness skill, she could roam freely across the Blue Ocean Continent without any problem.

"You still haven't answered me why you went to Tianjian Peak."

"Naturally, we came for the Peak Master—Master Zhang Hua."

“Master has been in seclusion for thirty years. You should leave.”

One or two people are saying this, could it be that Master Zhang Hua has really gone into seclusion?

"Did Master Zhang Hua say before he went into seclusion that he would no longer accept disciples?"

No, not at all.

"I can wait."

Wu Heng's fingers twitched slightly, and Jue Chen and Ye Xi Ruo regained consciousness immediately.

"You're not from the Heavenly Sword Sect, you're lying." Wu Heng's crimson gauze robe fluttered gently, brushing against Ye Xiruo's face and neck. Ye Xiruo sensed a murderous aura emanating from it.

How do you know?

“I have watched your duel. With your swordsmanship skills, it is impossible for you to pass the Heavenly Sword Sect’s rigorous tests.”

This is being looked down upon.

Even if what you're saying is true, it doesn't mean I'll always be at this level and never improve.

“Very good, young man, I am pleased with your confidence. But you are a genuine alchemist.”

"I have signed a contract with the swordsmen of your Heavenly Sword Sect, so I am naturally considered half a member of the Heavenly Sword Sect, and I have every reason to become a disciple of Master Zhang Hua."

"We can't make that decision."

"Senior Brother, you haven't finished sweeping the steps yet."

"Haha, isn't this a delay? This young alchemist is quite skilled. I wonder which swordsman was fortunate enough to sign a contract with her."

"I'll find out when I have the chance."

Aren't you leaving yet?

"I will never give up." Ye Xiruo descended the mountain step by step.

Even in its decline, the desolate and remote Tianjian Peak is still teeming with experts.

The eldest brother's skill level is conservatively estimated to be at least at the Tribulation Transcending level, while the third sister didn't even notice the ghostly silver needle in her hand. It seems the eldest brother is already used to it.

Rumor has it that Tianjian Peak has six disciples. If every disciple were as brilliant and outstanding as these two, Tianjian Peak would be a very good choice.

Senior Brother's judgment is always so accurate, but now that Master Zhang Hua is in seclusion, there is no way to see him. How can Brother Xiu Qi become his disciple?
