He did not expect that this seemingly calm general would actually raise his blade and slash at him without warning. However, even if the injured Zhou Yan were to explode, in Xiao Mu Chen's eyes, his speed would be very slow. He slightly tilted his body to dodge the seemingly ferocious slash.

"Your speed is too slow." Xiao Mu Chen did not make a move as he spoke indifferently. Instead, he looked at Zhou Yan with interest.

With a cold snort, Zhou Yan did not reply. He infused his Innate Qi into his elbow, directly attacking Xiao Mu Chen. If an ordinary person were to meet this strike with his hidden strength, they would probably be crippled even if they didn't die.

However, how could Xiao Mu Chen be an ordinary person? He pressed two fingers against Zhou Yan's elbow, and with a slight tremble, Zhou Yan staggered a few steps and almost fell down.

"And it's too weak." Pointing at Zhou Yan's elbow, Xiao Mu Chen lightly said: "You aren't as tough as your temper, young man."

These words contained a hint of sarcasm, how could Zhou Yan not understand it? However, at this moment, he had almost lost his ability to fight. Just now, when Xiao Mu Chen seemed to be shaken, he could only stare angrily at Xiao Mu Chen without uttering a word as he had already broken his elbow bone and suffered quite a few damage to his blood vessels.

"Don't stare at me like that. If you continue to use your hand to forcefully attack me, I'm afraid you'll be crippled." With a snort, it was obvious that Xiao Mu Chen did not intend to kill him. It was just that he was repeatedly blocked from venting his anger and had to take this opportunity to vent it out.

"Old thief, as long as I still have a breath of air, you can forget about touching me!" Casually thrusting the blade into the ground, Zhou Yan's face was filled with hatred, the sinister twitching face showed that he was currently in immense pain, but his eyes were still firm, with a shout he pounced again.

"This kid can't be taught." Shaking his head, Xiao Mu Chen praised Zhou Yan's spirit, but he was disdainful towards his strength. So what if Zhou Yan was at his peak? A Spirit Refinement expert was nothing more than an ant.

Indeed, Qingyang was able to instantly kill an ordinary Spirit Refinement powerhouse, much less Xiao Mu Chen who was at the Sun God Stage and was facing Zhou Yan who was seriously injured.

Xiao Mu Chen let out a faint laugh, and without moving a muscle, he raised his arm and punched in front of Zhou Yan's fist. With a "kacha" sound, the bones in Zhou Yan's forearm broke, and the intense pain made him grunt in pain, and cold sweat dripped down his face!

However, even so, Zhou Yan's attack did not slow down. He turned to the side and directly kicked at Xiao Mu Chen's head from the other side. His speed was extremely frightening in the eyes of the soldiers, who were attracted by the sound of fighting.

"These moves of yours are useless against me." As he said this, a trace of impatience appeared on Xiao Mu Chen's face. He ignored the leg shadow and punched straight at Zhou Yan's chest. A muffled sound rang out and before Zhou Yan's leg attack could land on Zhou Yan's chest, it was sent flying by Xiao Mu Chen's fist.

Everyone was stunned for a moment. Previously, they did not see Xiao Mu Chen do anything, but seeing Zhou Yan spat out blood and was blown away, they were extremely shocked, but after waking up from their stupor, they all rushed towards Xiao Mu Chen with their spears raised. A few of them hurriedly ran towards where Zhou Yan was lying on the ground.

Seeing the angry soldiers surrounding him and the long spear in their hands, Xiao Mu Chen could not wait any longer. With a loud shout, a shockwave rippled outwards with Xiao Mu as the center, and the soldiers with weaker cultivations were sent flying with their spears in the air. The remaining long spear was actually only ten inches away from him.

Xiao Mu Chen's face reddened as he exerted all his strength, the spear shaft at the back of the spearhead bent, but the spear tip was still unable to penetrate even half an inch deeper. When Xiao Mu Chen shouted out again, the spear shaft broke, and the spearhead and the soldiers flew out together.

"I've already said that I'm only here to find people. I'm not here to encircle and annihilate you guys. Is there a need to use force against me?" Xiao Mu Chen sighed as he looked at the soldiers on the ground.

"You, who exactly are you?" Hearing Xiao Mu Chen mention the word 'encirclement and annihilation', the pale Zhou Yan's weak voice was mixed with shock and anger.

"Black Tortoise Pass, Xiao Mu Chen." Xiao Mu Chen took out a bottle of ointment from his chest and threw it in front of Zhou Yan, "Most of it is just a superficial wound, after applying it to the wound, it will be fully healed within a few days."

He could be considered a weirdo in the entire Nan Rong Country. Not to mention his eccentric temperament, the most unbearable habit he had was to find people to spar with him. Those who sparred with him did not get a whole body covered, and being bedridden for a year or so was considered light, so after a while, the name "Mad Wu" Xiao Mu Chen also spread throughout the country.

Luckily, he had a cultivation base that was too inferior to Zhou Yan's. Otherwise, Zhou Yan would not have been able to escape this calamity. Even so, his hand bones would have been shattered. Thinking of this, Zhou Yan felt a chill down his spine.

However, since Xiao Mu Chen was someone who worked for the Nan Rong Royal Family, not only did he not kill him, he even gave him some ointment after getting injured. Xiao Mu couldn't understand what this person was trying to do.

"Don't look at me like that. Although this old man is still in the Black Tortoise Pass, there's no need for me to do this for the South Rongfamily." Zhou Yan's confused gaze made Xiao Mu Chen feel a little scared. He pointed to the side of the pond and said, "If it wasn't for that person causing such a commotion, I wouldn't even know where you are. But where are you going with this old man?"

As if he was speaking to Zhou Yan and the rest, or talking to Xiao Mu Chen, Xiao Mu Chen turned around and walked to the side of the pool, and did not speak another word to Zhou Yan Luo.

"Wait, Elder Xiao!" You can't go over there! " Resisting the intense pain from his broken arm, Zhou Yanqiang shouted.

He turned around and looked at Zhou Yan with doubt. Currently, both of his arms were like cripples and Zhou Yan, whose aura was already extremely weak, was actually so persistent in obstructing him. This piqued Xiao Mu Chen's interest: "Kid, why are all of you trying so hard to obstruct me? I just want to have a spar with that person.

Hearing this, Zhou Yan was stunned, at this moment he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He didn't expect that after injuring hundreds of his brothers, he had lost both his arm and leg, and was only here to spar with Qingyang.

Zhou Yan forced himself to sit on the ground after being helped up by a soldier. He said with a bitter smile, "We thought Elder Xiao was here to harm Mister Yang Chou, so we naturally wanted to block your way. We didn't expect that Elder Xiao was here to spar with Mister Yang Chou."

After finishing his sentence, Zhou Yan said with a stern expression: "Mister Yang Chou is currently in the midst of a breakthrough, so if Elder Xiao wishes to spar with him, it would be better to wait for Mister to wake up."

Xiao Mu Chen nodded his head in realization as he said somewhat embarrassedly: "I didn't think that you little brats would protect that old man for Yang Chou."

As matters stood, Xiao Mu Chen also understood why they were stopping him. However, even though he knew why they were stopping him, he did not understand why Zhou Yan and the rest were helping Qingyang in this manner. After all, even the experts under the handsome dragon, Nan Rong, knew that they had never heard of the words' Yang Chou 'before.

"Oh right, my old man asked, who is this Yang Chou that needs you to put your lives on the line to protect him?" Xiao Mu Chen turned around and walked back, and sat down next to Zhou Yan, asking curiously.

At this time, Zhou Yan was also able to catch his breath. Although he was in incomparable pain, but to be able to resist the battlefield for so many years, just how bitter was it? What kind of injury had he not suffered before? Thus, even though it was painful, he still endured.

Looking at Xiao Mu Chen's face filled with curiosity, Zhou Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Previously, he had been shouting and shouting, but one of his arms was still crippled by him. In the next moment, he had become like an old friend who was sitting by his side and chatting with him.

"Mr. Yang Chou saved our lives." Resisting the pain with great difficulty, Zhou Yan said this sentence. Due to his heavy injuries, the muscles on his face began to twitch from the pain.

"So that's the case. Why don't you hurry up and recover? I'll wait for him here, and after that boy breaks through, I'll spar with him again." Nodding his head thoughtfully, Xiao Mu Chen yelled out as he rubbed his hands together and looked in the direction of the pond.

After Xiao Mu Chen finished speaking, he no longer looked at Zhou Yan, he just stared blankly at the side of the pool, his eyes flashed, he did not know what to think, but after looking at Xiao Mu Chen, he also felt helpless towards this strange old man, but Xiao Mu Chen's words were reasonable, it was more important for him to quickly cultivate, and after ordering Qing Yang to give him a pill and consume it, he began to meditate.

"Eh? What elixir is this? " Not long after Xiao Mu Chen turned around, the tip of his nose twitched, and a refreshing medicinal fragrance instantly wafted in. When he turned around, he saw the bottle of pills beside Zhou Yan and quickly looked around curiously.

"This is the Bone Replenishing Pill that Mr. Yang Chou gave me." Helpless to be disturbed by Xiao Mu Chen's voice, Zhou Yan withdrew from his recuperation state and explained with a resentful face.

Taking out the stopper from the bottle and pouring a pill into his palm, Xiao Mu Chen brought it close to his nose and carefully sniffed it. His face instantly revealed a joyful expression as he said, "What a treasure.

Zhou Yan looked suspiciously at the excited Xiao Mu Chen. He didn't understand how this old man had so much experience with medicinal herbs, so he asked: "Elder Xiao, are you good at alchemy as well?"

Giving Zhou Yan a disdainful look, a proud expression surfaced on Xiao Mu Chen's face: "Hmph, what do you mean you're also very good? Don't you understand the principle of long term sickness becoming a doctor? "

He tried his best to suppress his laughter, but it also affected his wounds, causing Zhou Yan to grimace in pain.

All year round, when he fought with others outside, he would always get himself injured. Naturally, Xiao Chen began to study the effects of the medicine on his own, it was likely that he did not have a deep understanding of this pill, but at the very least, he had some understanding of it.

Just as Zhou Yan was about to open his mouth, Xiao Mu Chen suddenly put down the medicinal bottle. The light in his eyes brightened as he stared at the side of the pool and emotionally muttered: "That brat has finally broken through."
