Chapter 69: The Loyal Liu Feiyan (Fourth Update)

Uncle Zhong had previously fought Si Kong Tu and the other Poison Wolf Bandits consecutively, and he was now exhausted.

He hurried to take out a Medicinal Pill, spent a few moments quickly refining a portion of its medicinal power, and picked up his long spear to support Chen Yuan.

But just as Uncle Zhong looked up, he saw the young man strike with his palm. A dense and overbearing Blood Malice transformed into a giant hand, as if an infinite killing tribulation had descended. It forcefully tore through Si Kong Tu’s True Qi and struck him, causing him to cough up blood and fly backward!

This wasn’t the first time Chen Yuan had fought a Martial Artist of the Lunhai Realm; he had even killed two of them.

He had more experience than anyone in how to deal with an existence in the Lunhai Realm.

As long as one acted in one breath and completely crushed the opponent to death with absolute explosive power, the advantage of a Lunhai Realm Martial Artist’s rapid Internal Energy recovery would vanish.

Of course, this was easier said than done.

Not every Foundation Establishment Realm Martial Artist had a Divine Artifact fragment, nor did every Martial Artist possess Earth-Grade or even Heaven-Grade Cultivation Techniques.

“This young man has such profound Foundations!”

Uncle Zhong looked at Chen Yuan with a face full of shock.

Si Kong Tu couldn’t withstand this palm strike, and even if Uncle Zhong were at his Peak, he wouldn’t have been able to withstand it either.

By this time, Li Fan had finished off the remaining Poison Wolf Bandits and was limping over.

“Master, can you see this young hero’s style?”

Uncle Zhong shook his head. “I can’t tell. The Cultivation Techniques he practices are mixed; there are elements of both Demonic and Buddhist Sects, as well as other styles. However, each one is extremely powerful.

Fortunately, this young hero was passing by. The Poison Wolf Bandits were too ruthless and decisive in their actions, which is why we were able to escape with our lives. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.”

Uncle Zhong was still filled with lingering fear.

Not everyone was willing to meddle in others’ business.

If the Poison Wolf Bandits hadn’t been so ruthless, trying to silence him just because he happened to pass by, this person might not have intervened.

Little did Uncle Zhong know that he was overthinking it.

Even if the Poison Wolf Bandits hadn’t planned to silence him, Chen Yuan would have immediately switched identities to “Young Hero Chen” and come to the rescue to help the weak.

However, the Poison Wolf Bandits attacking first saved Chen Yuan some trouble; at least he didn’t have to act.

Meanwhile, Si Kong Tu coughed up blood while looking at Chen Yuan in horror.

Is this really a Foundation Establishment Realm Martial Artist? What Foundation Establishment Realm Martial Artist could have such strength?

Remember us at 101kanshu.com

While he was still in shock, Chen Yuan was already surrounded by a towering Blood Malice, which swept toward him along with Devilish Qi!

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

The curved hooks in Si Kong Tu’s hands were shrouded in black energy, dancing like two venomous snakes, each hook attacking Chen Yuan from an extremely tricky angle.

His twin hooks were not suited for frontal assaults but rather favored a sinister and treacherous style.

That black True Qi was also highly corrosive, capable of eroding most types of True Qi.

But against Chen Yuan’s Blood Malice energy, this corrosiveness was a joke, completely suppressed by Chen Yuan.

Seeing this, the black True Qi around Si Kong Tu burned fiercely, and two black fire snakes suddenly shot out, heading straight for Chen Yuan!

The Autumn Wind Slash, carrying the towering Blood Malice, descended. A sky full of Blood Malice blade light rained down, directly slicing the two black fire snakes to pieces.

Strangely, among the shattered fire snakes, a portion instantly split and rushed toward Chen Yuan.

Compared to the Foundation Establishment Realm, the Lunhai Realm only has stronger True Qi recovery and explosive power; otherwise, there is no difference.

Once True Qi leaves the body, it cannot be controlled further, and it even weakens over a distance.

The black fire snakes manifested from Si Kong Tu’s True Qi could actually attack again after being shattered, which was truly mysterious.

Chen Yuan sneered, formed a hand seal, and a brilliant Buddhist light suddenly bloomed around him.

Immaculate Crystal, Vajra Indestructible!

Buddhist Cultivation Techniques have a solid Foundation, and this Buddhist light power specifically counters such sinister secret arts.

The black fire snakes exploded and dissipated the moment they hit the Buddhist light, unable to get close at all.

Only then did Chen Yuan realize that the black fire snakes were actually wrapping around extremely fine black threads.

Si Kong Tu was using these black threads to control the black fire snakes formed from True Qi from a distance, continuing to supply power even after the True Qi had left his body.

Seeing his trick fail, Si Kong Tu hurried to retract the black threads.

But Chen Yuan struck with his blade. Under the extreme sharpness of the Azure Dragon Blood Drink, the black threads were all severed.

Si Kong Tu suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his Meridians instantly severely injured!

These black threads were connected to his Meridians!

Si Kong Tu saw that he could do nothing against Chen Yuan, as his cultivation and techniques were completely countered.

Without any hesitation, he turned and fled.

Uncle Zhong, who was behind them, had also recovered some strength. He immediately blocked Si Kong Tu’s path, his long spear dancing like a swimming dragon, majestic and grand.

“Old man! Get out of the way!”

Si Kong Tu cursed, but for a moment, he couldn’t break through Uncle Zhong.

Uncle Zhong was tough in his old age. Even when the Poison Wolf Bandits had the advantage, they couldn’t quickly kill him, let alone now.

Just then, Chen Yuan caught up from behind.

With a single slash, Blood Malice and Devilish Qi intertwined, as if transforming into a black and red abyss, crashing down on Si Kong Tu with an overwhelming aura!

Blood Demon Devours the Sun!

Si Kong Tu let out a long cry, black energy surging from his hands as his blood essence burned intensely.

But unfortunately, it was too late.

Under the Blood Demon Devours the Sun, the Blood Malice and Devilish Qi tore into each other, directly ripping Si Kong Tu’s body into two halves!

Instantly, it was as if a rain of blood fell on the scene, with intestines scattered everywhere—it was extremely bloody.

Uncle Zhong was also splashed with some blood and minced meat, and his eyelids couldn’t help but twitch.

What a ferocious move!

He was a veteran of the Town Martial Hall, a battle-hardened soldier who had fought in bloody battles on the battlefield for the imperial court under the “Army-Breaking Divine General,” Xie Wenyuan.

Even so, the scene before him was quite a shock.

At this moment, Liu Feiyan walked over, not caring at all about the bloody scene. She shouted in approval, “Tearing him in two was too good for this bastard! If you ask me, he should have been drawn and quartered, or suffered a thousand cuts!”

After saying that, Liu Feiyan walked over and bowed respectfully to Chen Yuan, saying solemnly, “Liu Feiyan of the Town Martial Hall. Thank you, Young Hero, for saving our lives.”

Chen Yuan looked at the current Liu Feiyan and felt a bit strange.

Liu Feiyan was beautiful and had a lovely appearance, but it was a beauty that was not seductive; it was a beauty with a heroic air.

Currently dressed in men’s clothing and bowing with her hands clasped, she had an even more androgynous feel.

Chen Yuan was familiar with the plot and knew exactly what Liu Feiyan’s personality was like.

Simply put, she was a very loyal person.

Using the word “loyal” to describe a woman was indeed a bit awkward, but that was just Liu Feiyan’s character.

In the original plot, Zuo Feiyu did indeed save her, but she didn’t know that Zuo Feiyu had originally wanted to recruit the Poison Wolf Bandits.

The Nine Sword Alliance was just starting out and was virtually indiscriminate; regardless of reputation, the Nine Sword Alliance would recruit any powerful Jianghu person.

It wasn’t until Zuo Feiyu discovered they were from the Town Martial Hall that he acted to kill the Poison Wolf Bandits and save Liu Feiyan.

And because of that life-saving favor, Liu Feiyan had helped Zuo Feiyu a great deal.

One could say that in the original plot, the Nine Sword Alliance’s smooth early development was largely thanks to Liu Feiyan’s help.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t until the end that Liu Feiyan saw Zuo Feiyu’s true colors, and by then, the Nine Sword Alliance had completely risen and replaced the Town Martial Hall’s position in Ning Province.

“No need for formalities. To be honest, I didn’t intend to meddle at first, but these people went too far. I was just passing by, and they actually tried to silence me.”

Chen Yuan glanced at Si Kong Tu’s torn corpse and sneered. “Since that’s the case, I had no choice but to grant their wish.”

“In the Jianghu, one judges by actions, not intentions. It is a fact that the Young Hero saved us, and we are deeply grateful. If the Young Hero has time, you are more than welcome to return with us to the Town Martial Hall. We will surely reward you handsomely!”

Hearing Chen Yuan say this, Liu Feiyan’s impression of him improved even more.

Such honesty was much better than those sanctimonious hypocrites.

Uncle Zhong and Li Fan also bowed in thanks and breathed a sigh of relief.

They were just afraid that the person before them had approached them with some other ulterior motive.

It wasn’t that they were overthinking things, but rather that Liu Feiyan’s status was special, and they had to treat the situation with caution.

But now, hearing Chen Yuan say this, it seemed he was also innocently dragged into this, which put them at ease.

“I have naturally heard of the Ning Province Town Martial Hall, but I’ll pass. I’m still planning to go to Huangtian Ridge.”

Chen Yuan pointed toward the depths of the Hugu Forest and added, “Also, everyone, there’s no need to call me ‘Young Hero’ every time; it feels a bit awkward. I am Chen Tian. You can just call me by my name.”

Regarding whether he was actually the mysterious Martial Forest Alliance Leader from the original plot, Chen Yuan was eighty percent certain, but there were still twenty percent he was unsure about.

Therefore, he wouldn’t use the name Chen Jiutian for the time being and continued to use the pseudonym Chen Tian.

Uncle Zhong asked curiously, “Little Brother Chen, what are you going to Huangtian Ridge for?”

“I’ve heard that there are countless ruins, secret treasures, and various Heaven And Earth Treasures in Huangtian Ridge. I’m just planning to go there to make a living.”

Chen Yuan sighed. “I was originally a Loose Cultivator from Youzhou, but I offended a powerful figure there and had to leave my hometown and travel far to Ning Province.

If I can find some secret treasures in Huangtian Ridge, not only can I make a living, but I might even be able to take a step further in my cultivation.”

Uncle Zhong shook his head and advised, “Little Brother Chen, I suggest you give up on that idea.

I am a local of Ning Province. I also ventured into Huangtian Ridge when I was young, fantasizing about finding some Heaven And Earth Treasure and having my cultivation soar.

But in reality, I just wasted my time and almost didn’t make it back.

For thousands of years, the outer regions of Huangtian Ridge have basically been explored. Any treasures that could be found have already been taken; there’s nothing good left.

And the interior of Huangtian Ridge is full of dangers; out of ten who go, nine do not return.

There are indeed people who can find Heaven And Earth Treasures, but even more people never come back.”

At this point, Liu Feiyan’s eyes lit up, and she suddenly said, “Brother Chen, with your strength, why take such risks in Huangtian Ridge?

Our Town Martial Hall dominates Ning Province and is thirsty for talent. Brother Chen, if you join our Town Martial Hall, you won’t have to worry about cultivation resources at all.

As long as you come back to the Town Martial Hall with me, I will ask my father to personally arrange a good position for you. It will definitely be better than risking your life in Huangtian Ridge.”

Uncle Zhong’s expression changed, and he wanted to stop her, but it was already too late.
