Chapter 85: Granting Your Wish to Die Together

The Blood God Cult’s Blood Exchange Secret Technique is quite useful; it truly can extend one’s Lifespan.

In the Nine Realms of Martial Dao, the third realm, Blood Transference, involves refining one’s own blood and Qi.

After the blood exchange, although the new blood and Qi have stronger vitality, losing the blood and Qi one refined themselves results in a somewhat lacking foundation.

Under the Demon Blade Slash, the Sword Qi in Sun Shaoqiu’s hand was instantly crushed. A powerful force struck, causing Sun Shaoqiu to retreat uncontrollably, a sickly flush appearing on his face.

At his Peak, Sun Shaoqiu had reached the Late Stage of the Lunhai Realm, but his current power was not even equal to the Early Stage of the Lunhai Realm.

However, to others, this didn’t seem out of place.

Sun Shaoqiu was over a hundred years old; even if he hadn’t reached the limit of his Lifespan, he was close.

It was only normal for Chen Yuan to gain the upper hand against such a centenarian.

Just as Chen Yuan’s saber fell once more, a flash of golden light streaked toward him.

Guangji, holding a demon subduing pestle, suddenly blocked Chen Yuan’s Azure Dragon Blood Drink. Buddhist light and Devilish Qi collided, instantly producing a loud explosion.

“Monk Guangji, the Sun Family’s collusion with the Blood God Cult is already an unpardonable crime. Are you truly certain you want to intervene?”

Chen Yuan looked at Guangji with a cold, piercing gaze.

Guangji pressed his palms together and chanted a Buddhist name: “Amitabha. The Blood God Cult is naturally something everyone should attack, and their crimes are inexcusable.

But this poor monk believes that Brother Sun would absolutely never collude with the Blood God Cult. I am willing to guarantee it with my own credibility!

Lord Chen, you are slaughtering the innocent without distinguishing right from wrong. How is this any different from trumped-up charges?

If there were sufficient evidence, this poor monk would naturally not stop you and would even sacrifice my own kin for the sake of righteousness.

But if you have no evidence, then as long as I am here today, even if you are from the Town Martial Hall, do not think of touching Brother Sun!”

“The head of the Blood God Cult Disciple Gu Hongyuan and the testimony of Qiao Haiduan—do these not count as evidence?”

Guangji shook his head. “That Blood God Cult Disciple has already been killed by you, Lord Chen, so naturally, whatever you say goes.

As for Qiao Haiduan of the Green Scale Gang, his sudden betrayal might also be due to being tempted with profit or coerced by you, Lord Chen. It cannot be taken as evidence.”

Chen Yuan was so angry he laughed; this old monk was truly stubbornly narrow-minded.

With a sigh, Chen Yuan shook his head and said, “You are indeed loyal, monk. Even at a time like this, you still choose to help this old thing, Sun Shaoqiu.”

Hearing Chen Yuan say this, Guangji thought the other party was prepared to stop.

But Chen Yuan’s tone suddenly changed as he revealed a cold sneer: “Since you are so loyal, then I shall grant your wish. Die along with the Sun Family!”

As his voice fell, Chen Yuan directly triggered his killing intent origin, letting the Blood Fiend entering the body. A sky-filling Blood Fiend Blade Glow descended, instantly enveloping both Guangji and Sun Shaoqiu!

This old monk was loyal, that was true, and he was likely also being deceived by Sun Shaoqiu.

But what did that have to do with Chen Yuan?

Since he chose to stand in opposition, there was only one path: death.

The Jianghu is treacherous; a single wrong step can lead to a death without a place for burial. Everyone must take responsibility for their own choices.

“Arrogant!”

Guangji snorted coldly, pressed his palms together, and gripped the demon subduing pestle tightly. A brilliant and dazzling golden True Qi instantly erupted from his body.

“Vajra Subduing Demons, Ten Directions Immovable!”

The Blood Fiend Saber Qi slashed against it, instantly triggering a series of deafeningly loud explosions.

However, the Blood Fiend Force was incredibly powerful, and the golden Buddhist light around Guangji began to collapse one after another.

Seeing this, Sun Shaoqiu, with Sword Qi swirling around him, immediately struck out at Chen Yuan.

At this moment, Chen Yuan, in the Foundation Establishment Realm, was fighting two Lunhai Realm experts. They were actually fighting back and forth, a scene that immediately filled the many Martial Artists present with shock.

To be able to fight a Lunhai expert as a Foundation Establishment was already rare, yet this person was fighting one against two.

Although these two Lunhai Realm Martial Artists were both old, this combat power was still astonishing.

Guangji laughed loudly. “Brother Sun, I never expected that after all these years, you and I would once again join forces against an enemy.”

At this moment, he was actually reminiscing about the days when he and Sun Shaoqiu roamed the Jianghu together.

Sun Shaoqiu said nothing, a hint of guilt in his eyes.

He knew that he shouldn’t have dragged Guangji into this.

But he was afraid of death, and he didn’t want to die!

Without Guangji’s intervention, he wouldn’t have lasted long against Chen Yuan.

“You want to die on the same year, same month, and same day? Fine, I shall grant your wish!”

Boundless Blood Fiend gathered around Chen Yuan, transforming into a massive blood-colored palm print that fell from the sky.

The boundless Calamity Slaying Power descended, instantly crushing the golden Buddhist light into powder!

Guangji shouted fiercely, gripping the demon subduing pestle with both hands. The golden Buddhist light around him surged as his True Qi condensed to its limit, forming a Swastika Buddhist Seal to block in front of him.

Because Sun Shaoqiu’s Physical Body strength was weak due to the blood exchange, he could only push his True Qi to its maximum, transforming it into dozens of sword lights that swirled around the Swastika Buddhist Seal.

The two had been friends for decades; even if they hadn’t fought together for many years, their coordination was still extremely tacit.

But under Chen Yuan’s Blood Slaughter Calamity Hand, that overbearing Calamity Slaying Power obliterated all other forces.

The Swastika Buddhist Seal shattered with a bang, the demon subduing pestle in his hand was sent flying, and Sun Shaoqiu’s sword lights were torn to shreds.

Guangji and Sun Shaoqiu both spat out a mouthful of blood and retreated several steps.

Performing the Fish Dragon Transformation, Chen Yuan’s body became like a cannonball fired from a barrel. Accompanied by an explosive sound, he appeared before Guangji almost instantly.

A saber strike like a startling swan fell. The moment the saber hummed and vibrated, the edge was already pressed against Guangji’s neck.

But in an instant, the flesh on Guangji’s neck actually turned golden. The Azure Dragon Blood Drink, relying on its extreme sharpness, cut in half an inch, but it could not cut any further, and not a single drop of blood flowed out.

The Vajra Demon Subduing Art that Guangji practiced was itself a Buddhist Body Refining technique, even stronger than the Iron Clad Gate’s Iron Chain Across the River Skill.

Using his own flesh and blood to clamp the saber edge, Guangji gave a thunderous shout and formed a hand seal, which struck toward Chen Yuan’s chest like a demon subduing pestle.

Seeing this, Sun Shaoqiu also gathered all the power in his body. His sword light solidified, carrying a cold and deep chill as it stabbed directly toward the center of Chen Yuan’s back!

Qiao Haiduan, who was fighting Sun Tiancheng, felt his heart sink at the sight.

If Chen Yuan died, he, as a traitor, would certainly not have a good end!

Lu Wenxing and his son were also incredibly anxious.

They had completely sided with Chen Yuan. If Chen Yuan died now, putting aside how the new Garrison Commander would treat them, Inspector Qi Yuanming would definitely come looking for trouble.

At this critical moment, Chen Yuan suddenly turned and pointed a finger. In an instant, the True Qi around him surged and gathered like a whale swallowing water.

The finger force descended, Nine Heavens descending upon the world, annihilating the mortal realm!

Xuantian Finger!

The overbearing finger force instantly tore Sun Shaoqiu’s Sword Qi to shreds, even completely pulverizing the longsword in his hand and his right arm that held it.

Sun Shaoqiu was sent flying backward, spitting out large mouthfuls of blood. His face was pale, and he seemed to have aged decades in an instant.

At the same time, as Guangji’s Demon Subduing Punch Seal fell, Chen Yuan formed a hand seal, and a Buddhist light even more brilliant and dazzling than the one on Guangji’s body erupted.

Immaculate Crystal, Vajra Indestructible!

Accompanied by an explosive sound, the Buddhist light was extinguished and dissipated.

“How could you possibly know my Buddhist Cultivation Technique!?”

Guangji looked at Chen Yuan in disbelief.

When Chen Yuan fought before, he was full of Blood Fiend and Devilish Qi, and his actions were extremely ruthless.

If he weren’t wearing the armor of the Town Martial Hall, outsiders would have thought he was a Devil Head who killed without blinking an eye.

How could such a person have Cultivated a Buddhist Cultivation Technique to such a profound level? Where was the justice?

Chen Yuan did not answer. He combined the three powers of Buddhist light, Devilish Qi, and Blood Fiend into one, and threw a punch carrying extreme power toward Guangji.

At such close range, Guangji could only circulate his Vajra Demon Subduing Art to resist.

But the impact of such a powerful force still caused Guangji to instantly spit out a mouthful of blood.

Chen Yuan did not stop, throwing punch after punch at Guangji.

The Buddhist light was gradually extinguished, and his blood and Qi were constantly draining away.

Guangji’s skin and flesh had no injuries, but under the impact of this powerful force, his internal organs had already been shattered!

After a dozen punches, Guangji suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with organ fragments. His eyes lost focus, and he collapsed to the ground.

Everyone present looked at Chen Yuan with shocked gazes.

Great Master Guangji of Longyou Temple might not be considered a top-tier expert, but he was quite famous within their circles.

He was a man who hated evil as if it were his enemy and had once single-handedly wiped out a mountain stronghold of bandits. His Hard Qi Gong Vajra Demon Subduing Art was unafraid of blades or spears.

Yet today, before their very eyes, he had been pummeled to death by a young man in the Foundation Establishment Realm like Chen Yuan.

Pulling the Azure Dragon Blood Drink out of Guangji’s head, Chen Yuan walked toward Sun Shaoqiu and gave him a grim smile:

“It’s your turn.”

Sun Shaoqiu’s face was pale, and his eyes were filled with uncontrollable terror.

But he did not beg for mercy, because he knew it would be useless.

“Lord Chen, I only want to ask you one question. If our four families hadn’t chosen to oppose you and had instead chosen to be obedient, would you still have moved against us?”

Chen Yuan shook his head. “Why would I kill an obedient dog?”

Sun Shaoqiu revealed a bitter smile, feeling a boundless regret consume his heart.

If they had chosen to bow their heads back then, they wouldn’t have angered Chen Yuan, nor would their collusion with the Blood God Cult have been exposed, and they certainly wouldn’t have ended up in this state today.

The next moment, Chen Yuan raised his saber and brought it down, directly severing Sun Shaoqiu’s head.

As the head fell to the ground, a large amount of blood flowed out from the corpse.

But strangely, when that blood was exposed to the sunlight, it instantly became pitch black and foul-smelling, appearing extremely bizarre.

At this, those clamoring Jianghu People immediately fell silent.

Even an idiot could see that Sun Shaoqiu’s body indeed seemed abnormal.

Even if he hadn’t colluded with the Blood God Cult, he must have practiced some evil techniques.

With Sun Shaoqiu and Guangji dead, the Sun Family completely collapsed.

Sun Tiancheng’s mind was shaken, and Qiao Haiduan directly severed one of his arms, turning him into a cripple.

The rest of the Sun Family were also in utter despair and directly gave up their resistance.

This time, Chen Yuan did not completely exterminate the Sun Family members. Instead, he had them all tied up, preparing to take them directly to the White Tiger Hall.

Since it involved the Blood God Cult, such matters had to be reported to the superiors.

Furthermore, Chen Yuan was not sure exactly how much power the Blood God Cult had lurking in Ning Province.

Even if he had designs on the original version of the Blood Scripture, he would still need to rely on the power of the Town Martial Hall to seize the technique in the midst of the chaos.
