Chapter 495: Chapter 380 Chen Yuan vs Xiao Yusheng (Don’t Miss 5k4)_3

“Waste.”

Chen Yuan’s lips curled slightly as he looked indifferently at the wretch kneeling and begging for mercy before him.

If the man had shown some backbone after coming to his senses, Chen Yuan might have held him in higher regard,, but now he was truly a waste,, his Dao Heart destroyed and inner demons proliferating.

Wu Zongxian, who was being insulted, did not get angry but instead stood up with an apologetic smile, took three steps forward, and knelt again:

“You’re right, my Lord. I am just a waste, and I pose no threat to you. You’re a great person with a broad mind. Could you let me, this insignificant waste, go?”

“A waste has no value in existing.” Chen Yuan’s gaze sharpened as he looked into the distance. A terrifying aura was enveloping them at a very fast pace from behind to his left.

With a thought, he released a burst of Gang Qi that instantly turned Wu Sangui’s head into a cloud of blood mist.

He had originally planned to extract some information about the Qingyun Sword Sect from him,, but now it seemed that opportunity was lost….

As the Emperor Slaughter Saber landed in his hands, Chen Yuan’s aura intensified and his gaze turned icy cold as he watched two figures rapidly approaching from afar.

The newcomers were none other than Xiao Yusheng, the Sect Master of the Qingyun Sword Sect, and his daughter Xiao Qingmu.

After seeing Xiao Yusheng, Xiao Qingmu did not dare to keep anything secret and told her father everything,, which led them to rush here as quickly as they could.

But they had still arrived too late.

As she observed the thirty-six corpses on the ground, two teardrops streaked down Xiao Qingmu’s cheeks. The look in her eyes as she gazed at Chen Yuan was filled with deep loathing and hatred.

It was him again!

Killing Senior Brother Gu and Junior Brother Liu wasn’t enough; today he added thirty-six more lives to his count!

She did not consider that it was Wu Zongxian and the others who had tried to strike at Chen Yuan first. All she could see was that Chen Yuan was a bloodthirsty demon. How could such a man become renowned in the world?

Xiao Yusheng’s face was exceptionally grim, his iron-blue visage giving off a deep murderous intent.

“Father…”

Xiao Qingmu started to speak but hesitated.

But Xiao Yusheng interrupted her with a raise of his hand, his gaze moving slowly from the corpses on the ground to settle on the calm-faced Chen Yuan:

“Did you kill them?”

Chen Yuan looked dispassionately at Xiao Yusheng:

“If it wasn’t me, then it must have been you two, right?”

“How audacious!”

“I’ve always been bold, never afraid of anything in my life.”

“Do you not know the rule that killing must be paid for with one’s life?”

Chen Yuan laughed,, a laugh that was somewhat unrestrained,, as he looked directly at Xiao Yusheng and said:

“Have you heard of the rule, Sect Master Xiao, that if someone offends me, I must offend them in return?”

“These people attempted to ambush me first, but they were too weak and were slaughtered by me. I wanted to ask Sect Master Xiao,, which law did I break? Is it your place to intervene?”

Xiao Yusheng’s gaze grew colder:

“Is this how a Reach Profound Martial Artist addresses a Grandmaster?”

“No,, this is how an imperial official addresses a mere commoner.”

You are extremely arrogant, Chen Yuan. I know you have extraordinary talent, but do you realize that talent means nothing until it transforms into strength? Young man… don’t be too hot-headed.

Although Wu Zongxian made the first mistake, your actions were excessively brutal. Last time, out of respect for Jiang He, I settled our grudges. This time, are you determined to fight to the death?”

With one step forward, Xiao Yusheng unleashed a terrifying aura that darkened the skies, his powerful Grandmaster strength disturbing the Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy. In the void, dark clouds began to gather.

Thunderous roars resounded ominously.

As a Grandmaster of Heavenly Core Level, Xiao Yusheng could easily influence the nearby Heavenly Phenomenon.

Feeling the terrifying killing intent rushing towards him, Chen Yuan’s expression remained unchanged as a strong aura isolated all of Xiao Yusheng’s Qi outside.

Looking squarely at Xiao Yusheng, he spoke indifferently:

“There’s a saying I like, what’s a young man if not hot-headed? Are you trying to intimidate me, Sect Master Xiao? You surely have a grand presence! A Sword Sect’s disciples attacking an imperial official… do you know what crime this is?”

“Fight to the death? Heh… so what? What does Chen Yuan have to fear!”

“Chen Yuan, do you really think I wouldn’t dare to kill you?” Xiao Yusheng’s killing intent surged upon being defied by a Reach Profound Martial Artist, even though the latter was an exceptional figure within the Reach Profound Realm.

Yet, the gap between their levels was still as vast as the distance between heaven and earth.

“Of course you dare, but can you… kill me? Don’t forget where we are. Who’s to say… an Exterminating Immortal Sword won’t descend from the sky in the next moment?”

A cold smirk played at the corner of Chen Yuan’s mouth.

“You dare to threaten me?” Xiao Yusheng narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice.

“This isn’t a threat, it’s a fact. If Sect Master Xiao doesn’t believe it, feel free to test it,” Chen Yuan replied coolly as he gazed at the other party.

Xiao Yusheng stared straight at Chen Yuan, and Chen Yuan stared back, the atmosphere between them exceptionally tense. It lasted for about three breaths before it slowly dissipated.

The vast and mighty air that filled the sky gradually withdrew as Xiao Yusheng said in a deep voice:

“Wu Zongxian and a few others were expelled from the sect three days ago, and now they hold the status of Loose Cultivators. The grudges between you have nothing to do with the Qingyun Sword Sect.”

Chen Yuan let out a light laugh and replied:

“Of course!”

“Bold courage. I hope the next time I see you, you can still be so tough,” Xiao Yusheng said with a deep look at Chen Yuan, then with a wave of his hand, turned the dozens of corpses on the ground into dust.

He then snorted lightly, turned around, and took Xiao Qingmu away with him.

In the blink of an eye, they disappeared from before him.

The smile at the corner of Chen Yuan’s mouth slowly changed, becoming extremely dark. His back was already soaked in cold sweat as he watched Xiao Yusheng’s departing figure and sneered coldly:

“Qingyun Sword Sect, heh heh…”

…

…

“Father, you’re just going to let Chen Yuan off like that?” Xiao Qingmu asked, puzzled.

At first, she thought her father would really annihilate Chen Yuan in his rage and avenge Wu Shixiong and the others.

“Chen Yuan dares to face me without flinching and without subservience, he must have something to rely on. I fear Jiang He might be lying in wait this very moment, waiting for me to make a move,” Xiao Yusheng said solemnly.

“Jiang He? Father, is Jiang He really that terrifying? Can’t even the elders kill him?” Xiao Qingmu furrowed her brows slightly. She knew that Lower Realm Martial Artists feared those from the Upper Realm.

She had never heard of Upper Realm powerhouses fearing a Lower Realm Martial Artist.

But it seemed that Jiang He was different.

“Jiang He is not simple; we can’t just measure him by his Realm because… he’s might not be just a Core Realm Cultivator,” Xiao Yusheng said with deep wariness in his eyes.

“What do you mean, father?”

“It’s just speculation.”

“Are we just going to let Chen Yuan go then? He killed Junior Brother Liu and Senior Brother Gu first, and Elder Gu died because of him, and now he has killed Wu Shixiong and the others. Is the Sect really going to do nothing?”

Xiao Qingmu felt somewhat humiliated.

For a top Jianghu power to be so constrained by a Reach Profound Martial Artist was absolutely preposterous.

“Of course not, but dealing with Chen Yuan requires caution. We must kill him in one strike!”

“Hmm?”

“Chen Yuan’s talent is too terrifying to be left alive; if he remains, he will become another Jiang He. Now that our grievances are irreparable, we can no longer tolerate his existence. We must strangle him in the cradle.”

“What are you planning to do, father?”

“Strike to kill, leaving no room for trouble!”

“But father, you said Chen Yuan is valued by Jiang He. If we move against him, wouldn’t that be…”

“Then let Jiang He die alongside Chen Yuan.”

“Father means to…”

“Jiang He is indeed formidable, capable of blocking a Yang Transformation, but if he can block one, can he block two? You need not think further on this matter, just consider that it never happened.”

“Daughter understands!”
