Chapter 141: Chapter 134 My name is Chen Yuan, from⊠the Abyss! (Subscription requested by enduring men)
Yu Wancheng sneered scornfully, taunting:
âGiving you a chance to live was a sign of respect, but since you refuse to recognize whatâs good for you, thereâs nothing left to say. Let your lives as the Yunjiang Four Ghosts witness the rise of the Azure Flood Dragon Association!â
Zhao Beishan stared at Yu Wancheng:
âOnly capable of dealing with us, Foundation Establishment Martial Artists, and you think the Azure Flood Dragon Association is fit to rise?â
Yu Wancheng responded, âFirst, Iâll eliminate you weaklings to bring Yunjiang entirely under the control of the Azure Flood Dragon Association. You four ghosts are neither the first nor the last.â
âNow, the river is just a few dozen yards away. Do you really think you can keep us brothers here?â
Qian Xishan clenched the knife in his hand.
âA few dozen yards⊠enough. I was only holding back earlier to offer you a way out, but since youâre all so clueless, I might as well send you off to the west,â
âYou call yourselves the Yunjiang Five Ghosts. Since one is already dead, the rest of you⊠might as well turn into real ghosts of Yunjiang.â
Yu Wancheng bent his knees and suddenly sprang forward, bringing a burst of cold wind, swinging his long sword straight at Zhao Beishanâs head.
âDing ding!â
After a series of clashes, Zhao Beishan could barely hold on, but within three moves, he was struggling to keep up, and Yu Wanchengâs sword sliced off a lock of his hair,
Soon after, a close palm strike hit Zhao Beishanâs body.
Staggering back several steps, he fell to the ground.
Qian Xishan, Sun Nanshan, and Li Dongshan, shocked and furious, immediately swung their blades at Yu Wancheng.
âBang! Bang! Bang!â
After several clashes, the three momentarily held off Yu Wancheng, but the remaining members of the Azure Flood Dragon Association seeing this, also drew their blades and joined the fray. In just moments,
the four were forced to continuously retreat, their bodies already marked with several bloody wounds, sweat dripping coldly.
âBig brother, you go first, we three will hold him off!â
âNo.â
Zhao Beishan sternly refused.
âBig brother, you are the closest among us to reaching the Gang Condensation Realm. Only if you escape is there hope for avenging us.â Li Nanshan whispered somberly.
âYes, big brother, youâre the best swimmer. Once youâre in the water, these guys definitely wonât be able to catch you.â
âStop talking, Iâm not leaving. Yu Wancheng, this cur, surely anticipated this,â Zhao Beishan quickly assessed the situation.
There was no way they could escape if they fought.
âThe youngest is dead, we four brothers might as well join him. Heads roll, scars heal; in eighteen years, weâll beâŠâ
âNo, you have no next life.â
Yu Wancheng scoffed coldly, his gaze filled with chilliness.
Think you can leave under my watch?
Impossible!
The gap between Gang Condensation and Qi Absorption is not something ordinary people can bridge.
âWhoosh!â
Suddenly, a whistling sound echoed, startling Yu Wancheng, who hastily raised his sword to defend himself.
âBang!â
A massive force bent the long sword instantly, striking Yu Wanchengâs chest, causing him to stagger backwards rapidly. He looked down with focused eyes and saw that the object that had attacked him was a black stone the size of a babyâs fist.
âThis is⊠something from the sailboat.â
Yu Wanchengâs gaze turned icy as he shifted his attention towards the silhouette of a boat in the middle of the river.
He had noticed someone on the boat when it approached, but because the distance was too great, he hadnât paid much attention or observed closely, assuming it was just a fisherman.
He thought to himself that after dealing with the Yunjiang Four Ghosts, he would eliminate that person too.
Now it seemed⊠the arrival was not friendly!
Seeing Yu Wancheng repelled, the Yunjiang Four Ghostsâ faces lit up with joy as they eyed the figure in the middle of the river, squinting but still unable to see clearly.
âI⊠feel somewhat familiar.â
âYes, I have that feeling too.â
Zhao Beishan took a deep breath, not saying much, just fixating on their rescuer.
In the boat at the center of Yunjiang, Chen Yuan, seeing that he had repelled the man, felt confident. He grasped the pole, threw it hard, and in the next moment, leaped up.
Standing on the pole, slicing through waves.
As the pole entered the water, under the force of Chen Yuan, it sped forward rapidly, creating two trails of waves.
Chen Yuan stood on the pole, his hands behind his back, dressed all in blue, resembling an extremely graceful swordsman.
The pole glided dozens of yards before its momentum faltered; then Chen Yuan lightly exerted force and, using the floating pole, leaped upward in the air, taking several steps in mid-air to cover a span of about twenty-four yards, landing steadily on the shore.
About several dozen meters away from Yu Wancheng and his group.
âItâs⊠Wang En!â
âItâs him!â
Sun Nanshan and Li Dongshan exclaimed urgently.
A hint of joy appeared in their eyes.
âEnâŠâ
Hearing the discussion of the Yunjiang Four Ghosts, Yu Wanchengâs expression darkened.
Watching Chen Yuanâs slowly approaching steps, he bowed with clasped hands:
âThis lowly one, Yu Wancheng of the Azure Flood Dragon Association, may I ask who you are?â
Chen Yuan did not respond, his footsteps seemingly growing wings as in just a few moments, he was in front of the Yunjiang Four Ghosts.
âThis is a matter of the Azure Flood Dragon Association. Do you really want to conflict with us?â Yu Wancheng insinuated a threat, hoping to intimidate him with the name of the Azure Flood Dragon Association, which he believed was well-regarded in Nanling Prefecture.
His skill with the bamboo pole had proven he was no ordinary man, definitely a Martial Artist of the Gang Condensation Realm. A Foundation Establishment Realm Martial Artist couldnât possibly perform such feats.
âThe Azure Flood Dragon Association, is it that formidable?â
Chen Yuan looked at Yu Wancheng calmly.
âPeople in Nanling Prefecture donât know the Azure Flood Dragon Association, but itâs better for you to leave now if you know whatâs good for you.â
âIs that so? It turns out the biggest power in Nanling Prefecture isnât the imperial court, but the Azure Flood Dragon Association.â
âWho are you?â
Hearing Chen Yuanâs tone, Yu Wancheng faintly felt something ominous.
âJust recently, the Azure Flood Dragon Association incurred my wrath. Good timing, Iâll start with you!â Chen Yuanâs gaze hardened, and he swiftly snatched the heavy blade from Zhao Beishanâs hand.
With one step forward, he suddenly slashed at Yu Wancheng.
There was no need for idle talkâkill first, talk later!
âYouâŠâ
Before Yu Wancheng could continue his inquiry, Chen Yuanâs attack had already arrived, instilling anger in Yu Wancheng for being taken so lightly.
He immediately thrust forward with his sword.
âDing!â
The heavy blade struck the long sword, instantly bending it as it couldnât withstand the force. Yu Wanchengâs face changed, he sidestepped, and Chen Yuanâs long blade missed its mark.
Yu Wanchengâs long sword recovered and thrust straight out.
Chen Yuan counterattacked with a horizontal slash.
Yu Wancheng didnât dare trade blows and stepped back. This single simple step allowed Chen Yuan to seize the opportunity. Qi and blood surged around his body; his right arm was instantly enveloped in golden paint.
A powerful force, a fusion of True Qi from his Dantian and the power of Vajra Glaze Body, converged into a single point and exploded outwards in a punch that landed squarely on Yu Wanchengâs chest.
âPu!â
The sound of bones cracking echoed within Yu Wanchengâs body, his upper body bent forward as the force poured inside him, instantly spewing a mouthful of fresh blood.
Like a kite with a broken string, he was blasted several meters away by the powerful force and heavily smashed onto the ground.
The scene fell eerily silent for a moment.
Yu Wancheng bit down on his teeth and stared at Chen Yuan, fear evident on his face.
With such strength, he must be a Condensing Evil Martial Artist!
âIt seems Master Wang has grown even stronger!â
A gleam of admiration sparkled in Zhao Beishanâs eyes.
Ever since Chen Yuan had killed the Green Demon with a few punches, they knew he was already strong, not someone ordinary people could compare with, likely a disciple of some major sect.
Now it seemed ever more likely.
In just over half a month, he had gravely wounded Yu Wancheng in an instant.
Such strength was enough to make them look up in awe.
Chen Yuan calmly watched Yu Wancheng, gaining new insight into his own strength; under full exertion, normal martial artists couldnât withstand his punches.
The combination of True Qi was indeed terrifying!
Without the help of True Qi, Chen Yuan wouldnât have possessed such formidable power.
With the help of a few people around him, Yu Wancheng slowly stood up, gasping heavily:
âI donât know who you are, but you possess such strength.â
âIs it important to a dead man?â Chen Yuan did not answer.
âYou want to kill me?â
âIsnât that obvious?â
âBrother, I failed to recognize your greatness. I hope you can spare me; otherwise⊠the retaliation from the Azure Flood Dragon Association will wear you out. Why make needless enemies?â
Yu Wancheng suppressed his fear, speaking very smoothly.
âIâve already said it, you⊠you were just the first interest I collected. Later on, I will settle accounts with the Azure Flood Dragon Association slowlyâŠâ
âNo room for negotiation?â
âHehâŠâ
Chen Yuan chuckled coldly.
âYou all heard him. This man doesnât want to leave us any way out. If you want to live, letâs join forces and kill him!â Seeing the fear in the eyes of the surrounding Azure Flood Dragon Association members, Yu Wancheng shouted sternly.
âKill him, kill him!â
An Azure Flood Dragon Association member echoed and immediately charged at Chen Yuan.
With one leading the way, the rest surged forward.
Chen Yuan, holding the blade in his hand, killed one for every one that came, killed a pair for every two that approached, without even blinking.
Yu Wanchengâs gaze turned icy as he bore the severe pain in his chest, gripped his long sword, and darted forward, aiming at Chen Yuanâs neck with extreme speed.
Those who grew up in the gang, though fearful of death, could always muster the courage needed. Yu Wancheng had once fought his way down an entire street.
Even if he were to die, he would tear off a piece of the enemy.
With this ruthless streak, he had successfully survived, gained recognition from higher-ups, and even painstakingly entered the Gang Condensation Realm. Regrettably, he hadnât enjoyed it for many yearsâŠ

Chen Yuan held Yu Wancheng by the neck with one hand while his arms, blown to tatters by Chen Yuan, were twisted grotesquely, with two trails of blood sliding down between his eyes.
On the ground, lay the corpses of a dozen Azure Flood Dragon Association members.
But in just a short moment, Chen Yuan had displayed his terrifying power, and those ordinary members seemed like they were merely delivering experience pointsâŠ
âDidnât you want to know my name?â
âI am Chen Yuan!â
Yu Wanchengâs body twitched, uttering intermittently:
âThe⊠AbyssâŠâ
âYou might think of it that way.â
A smile curved at Chen Yuanâs lips as he clenched his right arm.
âCrackâŠâ
âBang!â
Yu Wanchengâs body was heavily thrown to the side.
