Chapter 95: Blood Scripture

Feng Xieyun was the strongest opponent of the same rank that Chen Yuan had ever encountered.

Although Zuo Feiyu was also a top-tier talent in the Jianghu, his strength among Martial Artists of the same rank could only be considered decent, and Chen Yuan could still crush him with his powerful Cultivation Technique.

But this Feng Xieyun was truly gifted, cultivating two versions of the Blood Scripture, and his Blood God mystical arts were also terrifyingly powerful.

Just a moment ago, in order to block that Heavenly Eye Blood Pupil, Chen Yuan had consumed almost eighty percent of his Internal Energy and Blood Fiend Force to activate the Blood Slaughter Calamity Hand, only then managing to withstand the blow.

The last time he had pushed his own strength to such limits was when he joined forces with Thirteen Lang Luo at the Demon Sealing Valley to break the seal of the Corpse Forest.

However, although this Feng Xieyun was a brilliant Genius, his luck was not very good.

In the original plot, he was strangled to death in Youzhou by the joint forces of the Murong Clan and the Yiqi Guanhri Alliance, and in the end, he failed to become the successor of the Blood God Cult.

Now, he had even been beheaded by Chen Yuan before his career could truly take off.

It could only be said that it was a matter of time and fate; only those who could survive were qualified to stir up the winds and clouds in the Jianghu.

Zuo Feiyu, who was weaker than him, was able to thrive in the Jianghu in the original plot precisely because he was deep-minded and good at scheming.

However, now that the Opportunity for Zuo Feiyu to save Liu Feiyan had been snatched away by Chen Yuan, it remained unknown whether the Nine Sword Alliance could rise as smoothly as in the original plot.

Even if the Nine Sword Alliance could still rise, as long as Chen Yuan had enough influence within the Town Martial Hall, he would certainly find ways to exterminate the Nine Sword Alliance.

Chen Yuan was not particularly broad-minded; since Zuo Feiyu had gathered so many people to kill him back then, Chen Yuan would sooner or later exact his revenge.

After recovering his strength slightly on the spot, Chen Yuan carried Feng Xieyun’s head and walked back.

However, when he returned to the foot of Yan Hui Mountain, he found that Wu Bingjian and the other two were standing there, their expressions somewhat sheepish.

Especially when they saw the head of Feng Xieyun that Chen Yuan was carrying, they became even more embarrassed.

“Don’t tell me that the three of you couldn’t even keep one old man.”

Wu Bingjian said, slightly embarrassed: “That Blood God Cult demon’s mystical arts were treacherous; when he suddenly burst out with power, we were unable to stop him in time.”

“However, the opponent was already seriously injured, and I have already sent people to track him along the trail.”

Chen Yuan nodded: “If that’s the case, then that’s a good thing.”

“Why is it a good thing?”

“Because since the opponent fled while seriously injured, he will surely go to find other members of the Blood God Cult for help. By following the trail, we might be able to catch some big fish.”

Wu Bingjian suddenly realized: “Lord Chen is indeed far-sighted.”

The group returned to Pianguan City, and Inspector Du Tianfeng came out to greet them personally.

“Lord Du, I have fulfilled the mission; this is the head of Feng Xieyun.”

Chen Yuan handed Feng Xieyun’s head to Du Tianfeng.

Seeing Feng Xieyun’s head, Du Tianfeng let out a long sigh of relief.

This grudge had finally been avenged; although it wasn’t he who did it, it was still very satisfying.

“Each generation produces its own talents. Lord Chen is truly worthy of being a brilliant figure valued by the Hall Master; even this Saint of the Blood God Cult has perished at your hands.”

Du Tianfeng felt a bit emotional and also felt that he was truly getting old.

When his generation was young, they joined the Tianwu Alliance and followed the Grand Governor in rebellion. Later, the Tianwu Alliance was recruited and became the Town Martial Hall, and they were assigned to guard various regions. Life became comfortable, but their cultivation also began to slacken.

He, a great expert of the Ningzhen Realm, had actually been seriously injured by Feng Xieyun, a young Martial Artist of the Lunhai Realm, and had to rely on the equally young Chen Yuan to regain his Face. This truly gave him the feeling that the waves of the Yangtze River push the one before them.

“Lord Du is too kind. If it weren’t for your reminder, I might have suffered under Feng Xieyun’s pupil technique.”

“By the way, Lord Du, my Qi and blood are somewhat depleted, and I need to recuperate in Pianguan City for a few days. I also need to borrow your place.”

“In addition, please trouble Lord Du to take the head of Feng Xieyun and the news of this battle to the Hall Master.”

Linzhong Prefecture was Du Tianfeng’s territory, and he was also an Inspector. Naturally, battle merits and reports should be submitted by him.

However, Chen Yuan had come to support them, and he was the one who killed the person, so Chen Yuan was also qualified to go directly to Feng Wushang to report his battle merits.

If Du Tianfeng had been arrogant and wanted to monopolize the credit, with Chen Yuan’s personality, he certainly wouldn’t have given him any Face and would have gone directly to Feng Wushang.

But Du Tianfeng’s attitude had always been very polite, and he had previously stood on Chen Yuan’s side, saying that he would take responsibility if anything happened.

Therefore, at this time, Chen Yuan was also willing to give him some Face.

Hearing Chen Yuan say this, Du Tianfeng’s favorable impression of him greatly increased.

Previously, Qi Yuanming had always told other Inspectors how overbearing Chen Yuan was and how he didn’t follow the rules.

But now it seemed that even if he was overbearing, he had the strength to back it up.

As for the rules, he acted with propriety and was clearly very law-abiding.

It was just that Qi Yuanming’s brother-in-law had gone too far, which was why he had angered him into killing.

“Of course, no problem. Lord Chen, rest assured; as for the credit that is yours, I, Du, will definitely not take even a penny more.”

As he spoke, Du Tianfeng immediately arranged for Chen Yuan to rest in the Pianguan City Town Guard Headquarters and gave him quite a few Medicinal Pills for recovering Qi and blood and healing wounds.

As for Fei Bin, the local host, he was naturally pushed aside, but he didn’t dare to make a sound.

Having attacked twice in a row, he hadn’t gained a single bit of credit.

Especially the last time, Chen Yuan had killed Feng Xieyun, but the three of them, while dealing with an old man from the Blood God Cult, had actually let him run away. This was a huge loss of Face.

If he dared to say anything, Du Tianfeng only needed to say one more word to the Hall Master, and his position as Garrison Commander would be over.

Du Tianfeng went to the Main Hall to report the battle merits, while Chen Yuan began to go into seclusion to recover his Qi and blood, and at the same time began to practice the Blood Scripture.

In the secret room, Chen Yuan was slightly surprised when he looked at the Medicinal Pills that Du Tianfeng had left for him.

There were more than a dozen bottles of Medicinal Pills, all of Medium Grade, which were quite valuable.

Du Tianfeng was indeed generous, and as an Inspector, his family fortune was very deep.

These Inspectors and Garrison Commanders of the Town Martial Hall, as long as they stayed in a place for a long time, actually all had some family fortune.

They sat in charge of a city or a prefecture, which was almost equivalent to being a major local power, and they had many sources of income, both overt and covert.

The only difference was that those with stronger strength and ability could suppress the local Jianghu powers and thus take more.

Those who were weaker, like Fei Bin, who happened to have a major clan dominating Pianguan City, could only eat their leftovers.

After using half of the Medicinal Pills, Chen Yuan’s depleted Qi had already been restored.

Subsequently, Chen Yuan took out the yunling jade he had snatched from Feng Xieyun, focused his mind, and perceived the original Blood Scripture within it.

After completely imprinting the Cultivation Technique in his mind, Chen Yuan crushed the yunling jade in his hand to pieces.

This yunling jade was a High Grade one, the kind that could be used repeatedly.

However, the Blood God Cult’s Cultivation Technique was too sensitive; it was enough for Chen Yuan to memorize it in his mind, and keeping it would always be a trouble.

When Chen Yuan began to practice this Blood Scripture, he finally understood why the leader of the Blood God Cult had modified it into the current Blood Scripture.

Because if it hadn’t been modified, the Legacy of the Blood God Cult might have been severed hundreds of years ago.

In terms of grade alone, the level of the Blood Scripture was very, very high, sufficient to be ranked as Heaven-Grade High Grade.

But this Blood Scripture had the same problem as the Inner Landscape Divine Art; both had a high starting point and a high ceiling.

Controlling Qi and blood, pushing them to the extreme; it was easy to say but difficult to do.

Asking Disciples who couldn’t even perform internal observation to perceive the power of Qi and blood was practically like a fantasy.

Therefore, the Blood God Cult hundreds of years ago was actually not powerful, with few members, and its reputation in the Jianghu was not prominent.

It wasn’t until that leader of the Blood God Cult modified the Blood Scripture, making the threshold of the Blood Scripture extremely low, even low enough that anyone could practice it, that the Blood God Cult was truly revitalized.

It was just a pity that his modification had gone a bit too far, even completely deviating from the true meaning of the Blood Scripture.

It could be said that the two versions of the Blood Scripture were very similar, but their cores were completely different Cultivation Techniques.

Chen Yuan had first practiced the Inner Landscape Divine Art, and his control over his Physical Body was extremely powerful, which already provided the prerequisite for practicing the Blood Scripture.

Therefore, Chen Yuan’s entry into the Blood Scripture was extremely fast; it only took him a few days to preliminarily master the Blood Scripture.

In the closed-door secret room, hazy blood-colored mist appeared around Chen Yuan’s body, but as his mind moved, these blood-colored mists instantly condensed, turning into a blood bead that floated in mid-air.

With a flick of his finger, the blood bead instantly struck deep into the ground, blasting out a perfectly regular small hole.

There were not even any cracks around the hole, proving that the power of this strike had not dispersed in the slightest.

The Azure Dragon Blood Drink at his side was unsheathed, and it was instantly covered with a layer of rich blood color, as if active blood was rolling on it, containing extremely terrifying power.

Chen Yuan wiped the blade, and the blood color instantly disappeared, merging into Chen Yuan’s body.

This move was a secret technique recorded in the Blood Scripture, called Blood Refining Divine Saber.

There was another Cultivation Technique called Blood Refining Divine Sword, whose core was the same; both were Blood Refining secret techniques that brought one’s own blood and Qi power to the extreme, with extremely powerful explosive force.

However, the Saber Intent and Sword Intent carried within them were different.

The Saber Intent was fierce and overbearing, while the Sword Intent was swift and sharp; the two had different focuses.

Moreover, after Chen Yuan used the Blood Fiend Force, the Blood Fiend and Blood Refining combined into one, and the power could be even greater.

Although this saber technique consumed a lot, its power ceiling was extremely high, far stronger than the Startling Swan Slash and the Demon Blade Slash.

After mastering the basics of the Blood Scripture, Chen Yuan’s Physical Body strength also surged by a significant margin; his current Qi and blood vitality was extremely powerful, and his Qi and blood recovery ability had also greatly increased.

The reason why the various secret techniques recorded in the Blood Scripture consumed Qi and blood was because they themselves could plunder the power of heaven and earth to supplement the consumption of Qi and blood.

The leader of the Blood God Cult back then was based on this point when he modified it to plunder the Qi and blood of other Martial Artists.
