Chapter 313: Chapter 292: Ultimate Weapon (Please Donât Spoil, Big Shots) Chapter 313: Chapter 292: Ultimate Weapon (Please Donât Spoil, Big Shots) His methods were more than just protective!
He had been unwilling to make a move earlier because he did not want to reveal himself, therefore, he had formed a Protective Gang Qi and let those two guys attack him. If he had fought back,
with his Reach Profound Peak strength, he could have disabled those two within mere seconds!
Chen Yuan might possess some strength and fame, but the vast difference in strength was almost like an insurmountable gulf lying before them.
In short, anyone who dared to obstruct his path to Core Formation, he wouldnât care whether you were a genius from the Hidden Dragon List or had any powerful backers, he would kill them all.
âMake a move and see.â
Chen Yuan grinned at the stooped old man, appearing somewhat arrogant, and in his hand, he was holding a dark black talisman, exactly the one containing Jiang Heâs full-strength strike!
As soon as the stooped old man had revealed his cultivation, Chen Yuan had realized that he couldnât possibly be the opponent. Even if he fought desperately, it would probably be hard to withstand him,
therefore, he decided to pull out his trump card to intimidate the other side.
His own desire for the red fruits made it clear to him that they were very important and he better secure them.
âYouâŠâ The stooped old man was at a loss for words. Having seen much in his life, he naturally knew the formidable nature of the talisman, which usually only the masters in the Dan Realm would spend a great price to forge for their disciples as a life-saving measure.
Unexpectedly, Chen Yuan had one in his possession!
Wasnât it said that he came from humble origins without any backing?
Rumors canât be trusted!
He didnât think that Chen Yuan was deceiving him, as he could feel just how powerful the talisman was; heâŠcouldnât block it!
So, at this moment, his heart was very distressed, the kind that was hard to describe.
âWhy arenât you making a move now?â Chen Yuan cheerfully squeezed the talisman.
âYou would really use this life-preserving item?â the stooped old man asked with a grave voice.
âOne talisman in exchange for your life, I personally think itâs worth it. After all, I will also get these three spirit fruits, so itâs not a bad deal.â He intentionally took a few steps forward, frightening the stooped old man into retreating hastily.
Indeed, having this kind of powerful weapon in hand was exhilarating!
Moreover, the true deterrence of such an item was holding it in hand to threaten the opponent.
âPatrol Envoy Chen, do not deceive me. This item in exchange for my life is not worth it. Moreover, I am best at preserving my life. Do you think this thing can really take my life?â
The stooped old man feigned calm.
âHalf-dead works too. I can offer to finish the job for you.â
After taking a deep breath, the stooped old man spoke softly, âPatrol Envoy Chenâs enemy is not me, but that lad from the Qingyun Sword Sect and the monk from the Bright Temple,
using this thing on me wonât have the desired effect.â
âBetter keep it well then. Iâm taking two of those fruits,â Chen Yuan smiled.
The stooped old manâs expression changed, âImpossible, at most I can give you one. This item has a great use for me. You have powerful energy and blood, and you donât need this,
only because my energy and blood are in decline do I need this to recover,â
he explained, still afraid that Chen Yuan might bring out that thing again.
âAll right, one it is then. I reluctantly agree,â Chen Yuan said with a pained expression, though inwardly he was delighted. From the old manâs reaction, it was clear how highly he valued this item; one was truly his bottom line.
Unwilling to continue arguing over one spirit fruit, he had demanded two, just like a certain literary figure said about unwillingness to open a window in a dark room,
but if you talk about demolishing the house, they would agree to open that window.
Chen Yuan definitely did not want to use the talisman on this old man unless it was a matter of life and death. After all, it was a trump card that could deter a master of the Dan Realm.
Such a trump card, once used, would be gone; only by holding it in hand did it truly serve as a deterrent.
The stooped old man heaved a sigh of relief. Although his heart still ached, it was now unavoidable as Chen Yuan did dare to throw that Dan Talisman!
Fortunately, losing one Red Fruit was not a big impact on him.
âLetâs wait a bit then. It might take about eight hours until theyâre ripe, then Iâll share one with you,â the stooped old man said, lightly tapping his black serpent-headed cane on the ground.
Chen Yuan thanked him, stored the talisman in his sleeve, and slowly approached the old man to ask:
âI havenât inquired yet, what treasure is this fruit, and what wonders does it possess?â
The stooped old man took a deep look at Chen Yuan and explained:
âThis item is called a Red Fruit, a Spiritual Object that enhances blood qi, rarely seen in this world. It is of use even to masters in the Dan Realm and is extremely hard to find, causing many Dan Realm Grandmasters to fight over it every time it appears.â
Glancing at the stooped old man, Chen Yuan silently thought âNo wonderâ. You couldnât tell usually, but if you look closely, you could see that this old manâs face lacked much color.
He appeared to be in a state of declined blood qi, and probably only such a treasure as the Red Fruit could remedy that.
âHow did you discover it?â
âAs I said earlier, the last time the Primordial Void Realm opened up, I had already discovered this item but back then, it was just a sapling,
to accelerate its maturation, I just poured a kind of Spiritual Water to ripen it, but unfortunately, it still takes a few more hours before it can be plucked.â
âWas what you said earlier about an old demon beastâs corpse false?â Chen Yuan raised an eyebrow.
âTrue or false, false or true, is that important?â the stooped old man said, unchanging in expression. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly frowned and shouted sternly:
âWho dares to spy?â
With that, the stooped old man pointed his black serpent-headed cane into the void, and a horrifying Snake-shaped Gang Qi was released instantly, blasting a rock over two hundred meters away.
A figure immediately ascended into the sky, the handsome young man who had previously snatched the Primordial Void Order.
Clutching a folding fan and wearing a sword on his hip, he dressed like a dashing gentleman. With every step into the void, he moved approximately fifty meters in front of the two, greeting them with a bow and a smile:
âI am Lv Jing. I hail from the Lv family of Dongping Prefecture. Some also call me the Spirit Void Young Master. It is a pleasure to meet both fellow Daoists.â
âBrother Lv.â
Chen Yuan glanced at the stooped old man and replied with a warm smile.
âWhat do you want?â
The stooped man asked with a displeased tone, his gaze fixed intently on Lv Jing.
âI just saw that Patrol Envoy Chen divided a Spirit Fruit. As the saying goes, to see is to share. I hope you could spare one for me, three would be just perfect.â
Lv Jing said with an indifferent smile on his face.
Chen Yuan struggled to suppress a smile, nodding as he said:
âThis matter should be decided by you.â
He said, looking at the stooped old man.
The stooped old manâs face darkened completely after hearing Lv Jingâs words. He felt extremely upset today; why did everyone want to take advantage of him?
He shouted angrily, âScram! Is this something you can covet?â
He didnât believe that this Lv Jing also had a Dan Talisman in his possession.
What dog crap Lv family of Dongping Prefecture? He hadnât even heard of it; it must be nothing significantâŠ
Lv Jingâs expression changed slightly. He had personally seen Chen Yuan divide one of them; why was it not possible when it came to him? What was he lacking?
âFellow Daoist, do not deceive yourself.â
Lv Jing said somewhat threateningly.
The stooped old man harrumphed coldly and heavily slammed his staff on the ground, murmuring:
âPatrol Envoy Chen, take good care of the Vermilion Fruits. I thought I would have to wait a few more hours for the fruits to ripen, but it seems thereâs no need for that now!â
A murderous intent flickered in his eyes.
âRest assured, I will ensure the Vermilion Fruits are unharmed,â Chen Yuan replied.
He not only liked fights but enjoyed watching them too.
âGood.â
The stooped old man responded and, in the next moment, as if shrinking the ground beneath his feet, took a step forward and in an instant appeared in front of Lv Jing, gently lifting his staff.
Lv Jing was shocked and quickly drew his sword to attack. Sword Qi, sharp and unrelenting, blasted towards the old man, who simply parried it with his staff.
âBoom!â
All the Sword Qi was extinguished.
Watching this scene, Lv Jing felt a surge of resentment but also understood the vast gap between them. He immediately retreated, but alas, it was too late!
The old man, already threatened by Chen Yuan, was harboring a belly full of fury, and now this damned fellow dared to ask for his Vermilion Fruit. Death was the price for his greed.
With a point of his staff, a snake-shaped Gang Qi instantly shattered Lv Jingâs Protective Gang Qi, followed by another strike, landing directly on his legs.
With a âbang,â they snapped.
Lv Jing cried out in pain and pleaded for mercy, but the stooped old man, unmoved and still furious, struck again, inflicting severe injuries.
âŠ
âŠ..
About thirty breaths later, the stooped old man pointed his staff at Lv Jingâs chest, extinguishing his life force. He tossed him like a sandbag under the Red Fruit Tree.
With a gentle force of Powerful Energy, Lv Jing exploded into a mist of blood, slowly dissolving like rain into the ground, absorbed by the Vermilion Fruit, which then glowed even brighter.
âForgive me for making you witness this scene,â said the stooped old man in a sinister tone.
âYour skills are impressive; not many in Qingzhou could possibly match your strength,â Chen Yuan said, knowing the old man was also intimidating him.
Lv Jingâs Cultivation was similar to his, but in front of the old man, he was no match, and in just a few breaths, his life was utterly extinguished.
It made Chen Yuan think of someone.
Fa Hai!
Back then, he was just as formidable. If not for the joint attack by six people, it would have been impossible to take his life. This old fellow is at the Reach Profound Peak!
âWhat a pity he grew oldâŠâ
Seeing the slight shock in Chen Yuanâs eyes, the old man knew he had achieved his purpose, and he sighed.
Chen Yuan smiled and did not say anything, quietly increasing the distance between them to prevent any sneak attacks from the old man, all while firmly gripping the Sword Talisman in his hand.
It was all to guard against him.
The stooped man approached the Vermilion Fruits, smiling slightly and said:
âThe timing of that Lv Jing was just right. With his Essence Blood as fertilizer, the Vermilion Fruits have finally ripened!â
