Chapter 245 -229: Opportunity, Lock Dragon Well!
He had heard of the reputation of the Seven Killings Hall before and naturally knew their style of action: if a strike failed, they would immediately retreat, avoiding a fight to the death at all costs.
And this was the opportunity Chen Yuan had been waiting for.
As the enemy retreated, there were bound to be openings.
Although the Blood Evil Saber was strong, Chen Yuan dared not pin all his hopes on it, just in case the assassin from the Seven Killings Hall was already prepared.
So Chen Yuan attacked wildly, without regard for anything else, just to force the other to retreat.
In fact, that was exactly what happened. The assassin from the Seven Killings Hall intended to retreat; it was during this moment of inadvertent exposure that Chen Yuan didn’t hesitate to stimulate the Blood Evil Saber with his spirit.
The next moment,
a dazzling black light burst forth from Chen Yuan’s left arm, reaching behind the man in black in the blink of an eye. Given such close proximity combined with the speed of the Blood Evil Saber,
the man in black was completely unguarded and the Blood Evil Saber entered his body from the back.
Gang Qi, Armor, skills, all failed!
The man in black, already retreating, was suddenly shocked, his pupils shrinking as the object inside his body began to devour his essence blood, like a voracious beast.
In just a moment, one-tenth of his essence blood was completely consumed by the Evil Artifact.
Compared to a Gang Condensing Martial Artist, a Reach Profound Martial Artist’s essence blood is undoubtedly stronger, and as Gang Qi transforms into True Yuan, the body is also refined and strengthened by the True Yuan.
Chen Yuan did not just watch; he understood that just relying on the Blood Evil Saber was not enough to kill this man. The real offensive was still up to him.
Instantly, the moment he released the Blood Evil Saber, he immediately mobilized the Xuanyuan Gang Qi from his Dantian and fiercely launched a strike.
The man in black felt extremely frustrated inside. While resisting the Evil Artifact within him, he had to contend with Chen Yuan’s attacks, which were clearly not so easy to deal with.
“Bang!”
For the first time, Chen Yuan managed to repel the man in black head-on.
Taking advantage of his victory, the sword light in his hands seemed endless as he constantly released it against the man in black, like a river that had suddenly broken through a dam.
In just a few breaths, six sword lights burst forth.
The Protective Gang Qi around the man in black was shattered, his already fractured right arm was now only capable of forcibly defending against Chen Yuan’s attacks.
But what truly drove him to despair was, in just that short time, the Evil Artifact inside him had already devoured nearly half of his essence blood, turning his face deathly pale.
Now, even a fool could sense the evil and power of this object. The man in black furrowed his brow and in a moment of retreat managed to control his essence blood flow, forcing the Evil Artifact toward the previously injured right arm.
The only way to force it out of his body now was one, severing the arm to save his life!
“Hiss!”
The man in black gripped his right arm with his left hand and gritted his teeth. A great force erupted, tearing his right arm off completely. The intense pain made this silver-ranked assassin, who had been through purgatorial trials, gasp sharply.
The cost was great, severing the arm to save himself not only meant a huge loss in strength but also rendered him unable to use his once proud archery skills anymore.
The discarded arm continued to twitch, clearly showing that the Evil Artifact inside was not stopping just because it was only an arm; it clearly sought to drain the last drop of fresh blood.
“What is this damned thing!”
The man in black asked Chen Yuan with a ferocious look, desiring to know the truth behind his dire plight.
But Chen Yuan didn’t bother with him. He stepped forward, arriving in front of the black clothed assassin whose strength was now severely damaged, his essence blood depleted, and his right arm broken.
There was no way he could still be his opponent, but Chen Yuan did not relax his vigilance, uncertain if a Reach Profound Martial Artist might have other tactics.
Especially when dealing with someone from the Seven Killings Hall, he could not afford to be careless.
Only death would allow Chen Yuan to breathe a sigh of relief.
The response to the man in black was a pale red Mystic Yang Gang Qi. The man in black wanted to resist, but the Gang Qi that burst from his body was somewhat fragile in front of Chen Yuan.
One punch, Protective Gang Qi shattered.
Two punches, Chen Yuan struck at the injured part of the right arm of the black clothed assassin, worsening the injury.
His eyes filled with rage, the man swung his left arm toward Chen Yuan’s head, but it was easily blocked by Chen Yuan, whose right fist transformed into a claw, firmly grasping his right shoulder.
Then, an invisible power was injected into his body by Chen Yuan.
Updated from freewёbnoνel.com.
Internalizing power!
Even now, the skill Chen Yuan had learned from Zhao Nanshan continued to assist him tremendously—a close-quarter killing technique.
When the man in black sensed this power, his face suddenly changed, recognizing it as internalizing power.
But by then, it was already a bit too late, even though the Gang Qi continued to attempt to dissipate Chen Yuan’s internalizing power, his organs still suffered extensive damage.
Chen Yuan smoothly withdrew his hand, his movement speed increased significantly, and his mastery of the Wind Controlling Body Method had him appearing behind the black clothed man in a blink.
These techniques, like the movement method and internalizing power, were tactics Chen Yuan had not employed before, saving them for a fatal blow now.
The man in black felt a deadly aura, trying to grab Chen Yuan, but the decline of his essence blood and the injury to his right arm greatly decreased his movement speed.
He couldn’t even touch Chen Yuan’s clothes.
“Now, die!”
Chen Yuan’s eyes were fierce, his fair hands covering the face of the black clothed assassin, his index and middle fingers stabbing into the assassin’s eyes like sharp swords.
“Ah!”
With such pain, the man in black could no longer endure it as blood tears streamed from his eyes.
Chen Yuan withdrew his finger, his figure shifted again, causing the assassin in black who tried to capture him to miss. Now, Chen Yuan stood on the shoulders of the black-clad assassin, his legs clamped around his head, and suddenly slammed a palm down on his skull.
“Bang!”
The powerful force struck the body of the assassin in black, who could no longer sustain his ability to hover, and like a falling meteor, he crashed mightily to the ground.
On his knees, he stirred up a cloud of dust. His face was fierce and twisted, blood tears slipped from his cheeks, as half of his skull had been shattered, the gore utterly terrifying.
Chen Yuan leaped off the body at the moment of landing, steadying himself on the ground, but his face showed no sign of relief.
For this battle, he had nearly exhausted everything, the Blood Evil Saber, Qi release, Xuanyuan Gang Qi, Dragon Scale, the Path of Endless Killing, Dragon Roar… Only then did he barely manage to defeat the Reach Profound expert in front of him.
Now, the Gang Qi in his Dantian was almost depleted, unable to support even one battle at the Heavenly Gang Level.
Of course, the price he paid was substantial, but what Chen Yuan gained was equally significant.
First of all, there was the experience of a life-and-death fight with a Reach Profound Martial Artist. Now, he could brush against the top fifty of the Hidden Dragon List. If the news of him reversing the situation against a Reach Profound spread,
it would certainly create a tremor.
But he did not want to draw attention to himself just yet.
Then, there was the integration of his saber technique and fist technique. While not perfectly fluid, his strength had undoubtedly greatly increased. Of course, there was also the crucial gain of Qi Fortune and guidance!
With a single gesture, the Yan Ling Saber not far away flew into his hand. Chen Yuan slowly approached the assassin in black, who now was on his last breath.
However, it seemed he was still concealing something, appearing as if he were dead without any movement.
Probably planning to deliver a fatal blow to Chen Yuan at the last moment, but he did not know that without obtaining the Qi Fortune, Chen Yuan was utterly sure he was still alive, without any hesitation, he did not even approach.
The final slash of his saber cleanly severed the assassin’s head, which rolled like a ball to Chen Yuan’s feet. A stream of cyan Qi Fortune rose and flowed into his body.
Then, a new insight flashed through Chen Yuan’s mind.
“Dragon Tiger Sect, Dragon Locking Well, True Dragon Scale, Draw Dragon Vein!”
Perceiving this message, Chen Yuan furrowed his brows, and his gaze shifted slightly.
This time, the opportunity indeed involved Dragon Qi, but unexpectedly, it was not the type of Dragon Qi he had imagined but rather something akin to Dragon Vein.
Could this Dragon Qi actually refer to the Dragon Vein Energy?
And the True Dragon Scale… If nothing went awry, it should refer to the Dragon Scale in his possession, set to gather the Dragon Vein Energy.
It seemed, from the moment he obtained the Dragon Scale, it had been destined to be used for collecting Dragon Qi.
The opportunity guided by the Qi Fortune Altar truly seemed like a series of interconnected events. If Chen Yuan had not obtained the Dragon Scale, he really would not have been able to gather the Dragon Vein Energy.
As for the Dragon Tiger Sect, Chen Yuan’s expression became determined; this opportunity was unexpectedly linked to the Dragon Tiger Sect. At this moment, he suddenly thought of Zhao Nanshan.
Since then, had he been destined for this path?
“Sigh…”
Chen Yuan let out a sigh of relief. Only now did he finally relax, as this struggle had ultimately concluded, proving indeed challenging!
Indeed, every Reach Profound Martial Artist was not to be underestimated by Gang Condensing Martial Artists.
“Sir.”
“Sir.”
As Chen Yuan stood to recover his Gang Qi, Yue Shan and others who had been watching the fight approached him and bowed, apologizing for not being able to assist him.
To this, Chen Yuan did not rebuke them. At such a level of combat, their involvement would have been tantamount to courting death and might have even caused him more trouble.
Staying put was the right choice, at least they did not flee.
“Search him!”
Chen Yuan said, pointing at the body of the assassin on the ground.
Yan Qing responded, crouching down and first removing the bow tied to the body. Besides that, there were three Blood Arrows left…
Before long, Yan Qing stood up and reported in a low voice:
“Sir, this is all he had on him.”
Chen Yuan nodded, scanning over the items, the first being a silver token with the mark of the Seven Killings Hall, aside from that, there were several dozen gold pieces and a fist-sized transparent Crystal Stone.
And his first glance was indeed captivated by the transparent Crystal Stone.
Picking it up, the Crystal Stone was cool to the touch, emitting a faint vibration of Primordial Energy. Chen Yuan thought to himself:
“Could this item be the ‘Primordial Crystal’?”
