Chapter 308 - 308 287 Opportunity Vajra Unbreakable Body

Chapter 308: Chapter 287: Opportunity, Vajra Unbreakable Body! Chapter 308: Chapter 287: Opportunity, Vajra Unbreakable Body! “Boom!”

The Sword Light and Sword Qi exploded in a clash, both dissipating into nothingness.

The sudden collision shocked everyone; Chen Yuan and Gu Hao each retreated nearly thirty feet from the force of the impact.

A single exchange, no victor emerged!

Below, Xiao Qingmu saw her senior brother clashing with Chen Yuan, and was about to draw her sword to intervene when Yue Shan and others glared fiercely at their opponents, and Huang Yi narrowed his eyes, making no move.

However, the seriously injured Deng Jiuguang saw the two fighting and a glint crossed his eyes, considering this an opportunity to escape.

“Lord Chen is truly skilled.”

Gu Hao spoke with a relaxed tone.

But inside, he was extremely solemn. Although that strike wasn’t his full strength, having exerted about seventy percent, Chen Yuan still managed to receive it with ease.

He even had the feeling that Chen Yuan still had strength to spare.

The person he used to defeat effortlessly had grown to the point where he could stand on equal footing with him, which indeed stirred unusual thoughts within him.

“Brother Gu’s technique is also extraordinary!”

Neither mentioned why they were clashing; it was as if it had all been a mere misunderstanding.

For Chen Yuan, Deng Jiuguang was not important. The heavily wounded man couldn’t stir up any trouble. What mattered was Gu Hao, a true expert is known by his first move,

Although it was only a brief encounter with Deng Jiuguang, the strength Gu Hao had shown was enough for Chen Yuan to take seriously.

So, he had seized the opportunity to launch a surprise attack, but Gu Hao was no fool; thinking along the same lines, both had intended to take advantage of the situation to cripple the other.

As Deng Jiuguang attempted to flee, he was suddenly struck by a powerful Fist Power, forcing him to raise his Gang Qi in defense.

But in his injured state, he couldn’t withstand it at all.

Chen Yuan’s full-power strike made him spit out a mouthful of old blood. Seeing this, Gu Hao’s sword swept forward, unleashing several strokes of Sword Qi aimed directly at Deng Jiuguang’s head.

“Bang!”

The Sword Qi was erased by a sweep of the Sword Light, unwilling to easily surrender his own prey.

His blood and qi roiling, his chest heaved slightly, veins on his arms bulging underneath his clothes as he gathered Gang Qi and Qi blood to strike at Gu Hao once more, then without giving further attention to him,

he activated his Wind Controlling Body Method, leaving behind a residual image as he dashed in front of Deng Jiuguang.

At such a short distance, coupled with the sudden burst of speed from Chen Yuan, it only took the blink of an eye to be in front of him.

“Hmm?”

Gu Hao was startled, cursing inwardly. Wasn’t the probing stage over? Why was he coming again…

But faced with Chen Yuan’s full-power punch, Gu Hao couldn’t afford to be careless; the Flying Rain Sword in his hand shone brightly, releasing dozens of Sword Qi blasts, grinding the punch’s energy away.

Yet in that brief moment, Chen Yuan had already completely subdued Deng Jiuguang.

A powerful Dark Force directly crushed his organs. Although he tried to resist, he was pierced through from the Dantian by Chen Yuan’s punch, utterly ruining his cultivation.

Looking at the dwindling lifeforce of Deng Jiuguang, Chen Yuan remained expressionless.

When you’re out in the world, you need power, you need a background. It might seem carefree to rely solely on oneself, like Deng Jiuguang, but if you provoke a strong enemy, there’s only one path: death.

A mad and deranged fellow, really thinks he’s some kind of reclusive expert?

“Brother Gu, you lost!”

With one hand, Chen Yuan grabbed ahold of Deng Jiuguang’s neck, lifting him up like a little chick as he spoke directly to Gu Hao.

His voice was nonchalant, but to Gu Hao, it sounded like a red-hot provocation. His face grew dark and uncertain, as his pride took a complete fall.

Seeing that everyone’s attention was now on him, Gu Hao took a deep breath and pulled out a Primordial Void Order from his bosom, tossing it to Chen Yuan.

“Today, Gu admits a slight defeat. Next time, when the Primordial Void Realm opens, let us have another bout!”

Catching the Primordial Void Order, Chen Yuan frowned slightly; whether it was from Gu Hao’s words or his own sensing of the Order, it was clear that Gu Hao had more than one.

Narrowing his eyes, Chen Yuan realized that the Primordial Void Order itself lacked spirituality, allowing only a vague awareness. Otherwise, he would’ve directly asked for two Primordial Void Orders earlier.

But it was too late for regrets, and he could only say:

“Very well, we shall have another battle inside the Primordial Void Realm. I hope Brother Gu is prepared with a coffin!”

“Gu will have a coffin prepared for Lord Chen.”

Gu Hao’s Flying Rain Sword returned to its sheath as he slowly descended from the air, landing softly. Looking at Xiao Qingmu who pretended to be a little ashamed, he said:

“Junior sister Xiao, this time you truly cannot enter.”

“It’s good that Senior Brother Gu is unharmed,” Xiao Qingmu nodded lightly, turning her head to look deeply at Chen Yuan, as if engraving his image into her heart.

Chen Yuan merely responded with a smile.

The crowd around the inn continued to grow. Chen Yuan shifted his gaze away, looking down at the dying Deng Jiuguang, who seemed to be silently pleading for mercy.

But Chen Yuan just returned a harmless smile and gently squeezed.

“Crack!”

With ease, he snapped Deng Jiuguang’s neck, extinguishing his lifeforce.

As he made his move, another voice urgently rang out:

“Benefactor, please show mercy!”

Chen Yuan paid it no heed, not because of who the caller was, but because of the Qi Fortune. He wouldn’t have left Deng Jiuguang alive, and as his lifeforce cut off,

a streak of Qing Qi Fortune was swiftly absorbed by Chen Yuan, a new directive appearing in his mind.

“Primordial Void Realm, the Undecaying Body, Vajra Unbreakable Body!”

Chen Yuan’s brows knit nearly imperceptibly. Vajra Unbreakable Body… could it be related to the Vajra Glaze Body? Plus, this Undecaying Body and Primordial Void Realm…

It further convinced him that Qi Fortune was guiding him towards the most suitable opportunities based on his current state.

Scattering these thoughts, Chen Yuan let go of the corpse, which landed on the ground with a ‘thump,’ emitting a dull moan.

The people around had differing expressions, with much discussion among them.

Some said this guy finally got what he deserved.

Some said it was a good kill.

Others were frightened by Chen Yuan’s ruthlessness, as killing someone seemed to him no more than a trivial matter.

Huang Yi’s eyes blazed as he glanced at the corpse on the ground, then shifted his full attention to Chen Yuan, thinking that with the skills just displayed, Chen Yuan might already be catching up to his own strength.

Truly worthy of being a top fifty genius on the Hidden Dragon List.

Gu Hao watched the scene unfold with a serene expression, making no unusual movements.

The monk who had just shouted “Benefactor, please spare a life” also stepped through the air, surrounded by a thin layer of blood-colored Buddha Light, wearing a grey monk’s robe.

He was burly, with extremely thick arms exposed, signaling extraordinary strength. He also had six dharma scars on his head.

His eyebrows were thick, his eyes bright and piercing, and his lips slightly full. Moreover, there was a short Precepts knife on his back, emitting a chilling light.

He appeared to be in his thirties.

Looking at the corpse of Deng Jiuguang on the ground, the monk took a deep breath, a hint of regret on his face, and whispered “Amitabha” with his hands clasped together.

“Master Jingxin.”

Recognizing the identity of the newcomer, Gu Hao called out softly from below.

“Benefactor Gu.”

Monk Jingxin nodded and shifted his gaze from Deng Jiuguang’s corpse to Chen Yuan, who stood parallel to him, and said, “Did the benefactor not hear the poor monk’s voice earlier?”

“I heard it.”

“Then why did the benefactor still harbor a killing intent?”

Chen Yuan couldn’t help but smile, “Does the master expect me to stop just because you asked? You really think this place is a monastery, and you stand there before this official wearing airs of superiority.”

Monk Jingxin, unannoyed, joined his hands together and said:

“I am from Bright Temple, Jingxin.”

“And then? You use Bright Temple to press me?” Chen Yuan laughed lightly, seemingly somewhat disdainful.

Jingxin was a name Chen Yuan had heard before. To be precise, he was familiar with most of those in the top fifty of the Hidden Dragon List. Although this was the first time meeting Bright Temple’s Jingxin,

it didn’t prevent him from recognizing him, just as others would associate him with the name Chen Yuan or Demon Blade upon hearing it.

This guy ranked thirty-sixth on the Hidden Dragon List.

At the age of thirty, that’s about the ceiling, and it wouldn’t be long before he’d be removed from the Hidden Dragon List.

Of course, what really caught Chen Yuan’s attention was that Bright Temple was the only top Buddhist power in Qingzhou. If Gold Mountain Monastery had ties with any Buddhist power,

the most likely one would be Bright Temple.

“Would the poor monk dare?”

Jingxin remained composed.

“I think you dare quite a bit.”

Below, Gu Hao looked on with interest, even hoping for a fight between Jingxin and Chen Yuan. He wouldn’t mind stepping in at the end to reap the benefits.

“Benefactor Deng had a connection with the Buddhist sect, and the poor monk came to convert him.” Jingxin looked down at Deng Jiuguang’s lifeless body and spoke softly.

Chen Yuan responded, “It’s not too late now. If the master can’t convert, you could always pray for his soul. That’s how this official always operates, I’m generally more lenient towards the dead.”

Jingxin looked up, “Benefactor Chen’s killing is too grave and detrimental to one’s cultivation, with the risk of deviating into madness. Only by calming the mind and reciting scriptures can you resolve the sins on you.”

“No need for that, I’m used to killing people. If I didn’t bear some killing karma, it would actually be uncomfortable. On the other hand, I see the brow of the master darkening, you may face a disaster of blood soon, be very careful.”

With that, Chen Yuan’s gaze turned to Gu Hao below, adding, “Oh, and you too, Brother Gu.”

“Brother Chen must also be cautious.”

Gu Hao said with a smile that didn’t reach his eyes.

Moving on from these two, Chen Yuan turned to Yue Shan’s subordinate, Huang Yi, “I hear Sir Huang is offering a handsome reward for a Primordial Void Order.

I happen to have an extra one in my hands, perhaps we could discuss a deal?”

Huang Yi’s eyes shifted, and he replied with a hearty laugh:

“Of course, Master Chen, please, let’s talk inside the Heavenly Patrol Hall.”

“Let’s go.”

Commanding Yue Shan and the others below with a wave, Chen Yuan followed Huang Yi, no longer paying heed to Gu Hao, Xiao Qingmu, and Bright Temple’s Monk Jingxin.

Watching Chen Yuan leave, Gu Hao’s gaze chilled, and after some contemplation, he extended an offer:

“Master Jingxin, if you’re free, why not have a cup of tea at the inn?”

Monk Jingxin pondered for a moment and nodded:

“Good.”

The hunched old man who had been observing the battle observed this quietly, his eyes flickering, contemplating something.
