Chapter 66: Continuing the Chase Will Lead to Death (First Update)

Chen Yuan and Zuo Feiyu exchanged a clash, both gaining a preliminary understanding of the other’s strength.

Both adjusted their power simultaneously, moved their bodies, and instantly collided again.

Fast blade against fast sword, every Move was extremely ruthless, a contest of whose speed was superior.

In almost the blink of an eye, Chen Yuan and Zuo Feiyu had exchanged over a hundred Moves.

Zuo Feiyu’s Azure Edge Nine Swords had more variations, and in terms of Moves, it surpassed Chen Yuan’s Autumn Water Swift Hong Blade.

However, Chen Yuan’s Cultivation Techniques were stronger; whether it was the Tathagata Freedom Demon Secret Canon or the Immaculate Crystal Vajra Sutra, both could fill the weaknesses in his Moves.

Seeing that he couldn’t take down Chen Yuan for the moment, Zuo Feiyu flipped the Dragon Scale Sword in his hand, his Internal Energy surging violently as a sky full of sword shadows poured down.

Azure Edge Nine Swords, Falling Flower Sword Style!

Standing amidst those dense sword shadows, Chen Yuan slashed down with the Azure Dragon Blood Drink, carrying a sky full of Devilish Qi blade light. As the Autumn Wind Slash fell, it directly tore through eighty percent of the sword shadows.

Simultaneously, Chen Yuan’s left hand formed a seal, and a brilliant golden Buddhist light flared around him.

Immaculate Crystal, Vajra Indestructible!

The remaining Sword Qi slashed against the Buddhist light and was instantly neutralized.

But at that moment, Zuo Feiyu’s figure suddenly burst out from the countless sword shadows.

The Dragon Scale Sword in his hand glowed with a dazzling, blood-colored killing intent.

Extreme cold sharpness and pure, hideous killing intent converged into this single sword strike, instantly piercing through the Devilish Qi blade light to reach Chen Yuan’s front!

Azure Edge Nine Swords, Blood Slaughter Sword Style!

This sword strike ignited his blood and Qi, gathering killing intent without superfluous variations; it was the Great Dao simplified, pointing directly at the essence of the slaughtering Sword Intent.

In the next moment, Chen Yuan drew the killing intent origin into his body, and violent Blood Fiend Force instantly poured into the blade’s edge.

The Startling Swan Slash fell, with extreme speed and overbearing Blood Fiend Force superimposed.

This blade strike arrived first despite being launched later. The crimson blade light swept out, directly devouring the killing intent on Zuo Feiyu’s Dragon Scale Sword and instantly sending him flying!

The power of the Blood Slaughter Sword Style within the Azure Edge Nine Swords was indeed formidable, being one of Zuo Feiyu’s ultimate Moves.

This sword strike condensed slaughtering Sword Intent, but how could such power compare to the seven killing stele?

It could be said that it would have been better if Zuo Feiyu hadn’t used this Move; by using it, he was completely countered by Chen Yuan.

Zuo Feiyu flew back more than ten paces before stopping, his eyes filled with shock.

What power is this?

This extremely powerful and overbearing Blood Fiend Force was definitely not something that could be cultivated through ordinary Cultivation Techniques!

After drawing the killing intent origin into his body, Chen Yuan had no time to waste.

Taking a step forward, the crimson Blood Fiend and Devilish Qi intertwined upon the Azure Dragon Blood Drink in Chen Yuan’s hand.

As the blade slashed down, the Blood Fiend and Devilish Qi seemed to transform into an endless abyss, devouring toward Zuo Feiyu!

The Tathagata Freedom Demon Secret Canon was not a simple Internal Skill Mind-Cultivation Technique; it could evolve into Myriad Heavenly Demon Manifestations. One could say the final effect depended entirely on the practitioner’s own insights.

In the beginning, Chen Yuan could only condense the power of these Myriad Heavenly Demon Manifestations onto his blade, which was the Demon Blade Slash.

But now, after several great battles, Chen Yuan had gained a new level of insight into this Myriad Heavenly Demon Manifestations power.

This Move fused Blood Fiend Force with the power of the Myriad Heavenly Demons; the two entangled and spiraled, and from their collision and Fusion, an extremely terrifying suction force was born.

Chen Yuan named this Move Blood Demon Devours the Sun!

Even the brilliance of the great sun would be swallowed by this extremely overbearing Blood Fiend and Devilish Qi, its light extinguished.

In an instant, this extremely powerful force gave Zuo Feiyu a hair-raising sensation.

With a loud shout, Zuo Feiyu formed a seal with his hands, and the True Qi throughout his body burned violently.

A golden Buddhist light condensed around Zuo Feiyu, transforming into a Buddhist Light Treasure Vase that stood horizontally before him.

Heavenly Buddha Treasure Vase Seal!

This technique was obtained by Zuo Tianyuan during his travels in the Central Plains; it was said to originate from a great ancient Buddhist Sect and had extremely high requirements for Internal Energy and True Qi.

Normally, only someone who had reached the Lunhai Realm would have enough vast True Qi to condense the Buddhist Light Treasure Vase.

However, Zuo Feiyu had a deep foundation and could barely use it even with a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivation.

The Buddhist light blossomed, and the treasure vase remained as immovable as a mountain.

But under Chen Yuan’s Blood Demon Devours the Sun, the Buddhist light True Qi dissolved inch by inch. Finally, the treasure vase exploded with a bang, and the extremely powerful impact instantly sent Zuo Feiyu flying.

Zuo Feiyu smashed through two large trees in succession before stopping, a trail of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.

Although he had barely managed to withstand the strike of Blood Demon Devours the Sun, his internal organs were jolted and his Meridians were injured.

Furthermore, forcibly condensing the Buddhist Light Treasure Vase had drained nearly ninety percent of the True Qi in his body!

A flash of killing intent appeared in Chen Yuan’s eyes.

This Zuo Feiyu was unscrupulous and deeply calculating, and his strength was not inferior to the young Disciples of top Sects and clans. It was no wonder he could rise in the future.

Killing him now would save some trouble in the future.

Seeing that he was no match for Chen Yuan, Zuo Feiyu was also extremely decisive.

He suddenly stuffed a Medicinal Pill into his mouth and simultaneously formed a seal, burning his blood and Qi while relying on the pill’s power to squeeze out his last bit of potential.

In an instant, Zuo Feiyu’s blood and Qi erupted violently, and his figure whistled like a gale as he turned and fled immediately.

He was not the kind of idiot who would fight to the death knowing he couldn’t win.

A gentleman’s revenge is never too late even after ten years. The Nine Sword Alliance had just been established, and he had yet to make a name for himself in the Jianghu; how could he die at the hands of a nobody?

Seeing this, Chen Yuan also erupted with the Surging Waves and Flowing Clouds Technique and Blood Fiend Force simultaneously, turning into a blood-colored afterimage to give chase.

Zuo Feiyu was clearly using a movement technique, while Chen Yuan was relying purely on his powerful explosive force to pursue.

Doing this was not slow, but the consumption was too great. Too much Blood Fiend Force was being consumed, and his blood and Qi were boiling to the point that they were almost impossible to suppress.

Chen Yuan frowned slightly; when he had the chance, he definitely had to obtain a speed-oriented movement technique.

Seeing that his time was almost up, Chen Yuan no longer cared about consumption. He formed a seal, and as the Blood Fiend condensed around him, a slaughtering calamity suddenly descended!

The Blood Slaughter Calamity Hand crashed down, and that extremely overbearing power of the slaughtering calamity even made Zuo Feiyu feel somewhat breathless!

What kind of monster is this Chen Tian? He is clearly a Loose Cultivator, so why does he possess so many powerful Cultivation Techniques?

Just then, Zuo Feiyu suddenly saw an old man in his sixties, dressed in white and holding a sword, rushing toward them.

Zuo Feiyu’s eyes instantly lit up, and he hurriedly shouted, “Uncle Wu, save me!”

Seeing that Zuo Feiyu was actually being hunted, the old man was instantly enraged: “Junior, how dare you!”

As his voice fell, the white-clothed old man’s sword unleashed several zhang of flaming Sword Qi, hot and surging, which crashed against the Blood Slaughter Calamity Hand.

Accompanied by a series of violent explosions, although the Blood Slaughter Calamity Hand extinguished the flaming Sword Qi, it was also exhausted and was torn apart by the sword in the old man’s hand.

A grand expert of the Ningzhen Realm!

Chen Yuan immediately frowned.

In fact, he had already guessed before acting that the Nine Sword Alliance might have others nearby.

No matter how many tricks or how capable Zuo Feiyu was, he was still a junior Martial Artist; it was unlikely he would act alone in The border between You and Ning.

However, according to what Gu Xinru said, Zuo Feiyu had always been alone, so Chen Yuan wanted to see if he could kill him.

Now that the Nine Sword Alliance’s reinforcements had arrived, he certainly couldn’t kill Zuo Feiyu anymore.

Chen Yuan did not linger to fight and turned to leave immediately.

Uncle Wu arrived before Zuo Feiyu, and seeing his current state, his expression changed instantly: “Feiyu, why did you use the Red Sun Pill?

Is this something that can be used casually?”

While spitting blood, Zuo Feiyu shouted, “Uncle Wu, don’t worry about me for now! Go kill him!”

This Chen Tian has a powerful foundation of techniques and ruthless methods.

He and I have already formed a blood feud; since he cannot be recruited, he must be killed at all costs!

Now, Zuo Feiyu only felt some regret—regret that he had been too arrogant.

Before coming, to be safe, Zuo Feiyu had used a Messenger Gu insect to notify Uncle Wu to come.

This trip to The border between You and Ning to recruit Jianghu People into the Nine Sword Alliance was actually led by Uncle Wu; he himself was Zuo Tianyuan’s confidant.

However, the few people Uncle Wu wanted to recruit were all Ningzhen Realm Loose Cultivator experts, and it took time to persuade them.

So Zuo Feiyu had parted ways with him to recruit Wei Guangming and other ordinary Jianghu People; the two sides were actually not that far apart.

It was just that Zuo Feiyu had notified Uncle Wu to come not to kill Chen Yuan, but to clean up the aftermath.

Once Wei Guangming was dead, Zuo Feiyu could no longer suppress those opportunistic Jianghu People with his own reputation, so he still had to rely on Uncle Wu’s strength to intimidate them.

If he had known earlier that Chen Yuan’s strength was so terrifying, he should have waited for Uncle Wu to arrive before acting.

Some experts of the younger generation in the Jianghu pursued victory or defeat, believing that only by personally defeating the opponent one-on-one could their state of mind reach Perfection.

Zuo Feiyu, however, always prioritized benefits; he didn’t care about victory or defeat, only life and death, and it didn’t matter at all if he was the one who did the killing.

Seeing this, Uncle Wu hurriedly threw down a bottle of Medicinal Pills and went to chase Chen Yuan.

But just as he started, Chen Yuan suddenly raised his arm, upon which a black line shimmered with an eerie black light.

That was precisely the Corpse Forest Divine Artifact Avatar that Chen Yuan had been nurturing in his arm!

Chen Yuan did not want to use such a precious trump card easily.

But facing a Ningzhen Realm grand expert, in his current state, he could only use the Corpse Forest.

In an instant, an extremely cold and terrifying aura descended.

Uncle Wu’s figure came to a sudden halt, and he actually didn’t dare to take another step forward.

Chen Yuan was somewhat surprised; this old fellow’s perception was actually so keen.

If he had come a bit closer, Chen Yuan would have had an eighty percent chance of using the Corpse Forest to kill him.

Seeing that the opponent didn’t dare to continue the chase, Chen Yuan immediately activated the Inner Landscape Divine Art, re-suppressing the boiling blood and Qi in his body as well as the newly revealed aura of the Corpse Forest. He turned and entered the dense forest, his figure disappearing from sight.

In the rear, Zuo Feiyu said anxiously while swallowing Medicinal Pills, “Uncle Wu! Why aren’t you continuing the chase?

This Chen Tian is powerful and has amazing potential, and now he has formed a great feud with our Nine Sword Alliance.

If we don’t kill him today, he will surely be a major threat in the future!”

“If I continue the chase, I will die.”

A look of solemnity appeared in Uncle Wu’s eyes: “He has something on him with a very terrifying aura. If I catch up, I will die, and if I die, you won’t be able to escape either. Feiyu, what kind of existence did you provoke this time!”
