Chapter 313: Chapter 292: Ultimate Weapon (Please Don’t Spoil, Big Shots) Chapter 313: Chapter 292: Ultimate Weapon (Please Don’t Spoil, Big Shots) His thods 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 ford 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 re seconds!
Chen Yuan might possess so strength and fa, 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 wouldn’t care whether you were a genius from the Hidden Dragon List or had any powerful backers, he would kill them all.
“Make a move and see.”
Chen Yuan grinned at the stooped old man, appearing sowhat arrogant, and in his hand, he was holding a dark black talisman, exactly the one containing Jiang He’s full-strength strike!
As soon as the stooped old man had revealed his cultivation, Chen Yuan had realized that he couldn’t 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.
“You…” 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 asure.
Unexpectedly, Chen Yuan had one in his possession!
Wasn’t it said that he ca from humble origins without any backing?
Rumors can’t be trusted!
He didn’t think that Chen Yuan was deceiving him, as he could feel just how powerful the talisman was; he…couldn’t block it!
So, at this mont, his heart was very distressed, the kind that was hard to describe.
“Why aren’t you making a move now?” Chen Yuan cheerfully squeezed the talisman.
“You would really use this life-preserving item?” the stooped old man asked with a grave voice.
“One talisman in exchange for your life, I personally think it’s worth it. After all, I will also get these three spirit fruits, so it’s not a bad deal.” 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.
“Patrol Envoy Chen, do not deceive . 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?”
The stooped old man feigned calm.
“Half-dead works too. I can offer to finish the job for you.”
After taking a deep breath, the stooped old man spoke softly, “Patrol Envoy Chen’s enemy is not , but that lad from the Qingyun Sword Sect and the monk from the Bright Temple,
using this thing on won’t have the desired effect.”
“Better keep it well then. I’m taking two of those fruits,” Chen Yuan smiled.
The stooped old man’s expression changed, “Impossible, at most I can give you one. This item has a great use for . You have powerful energy and blood, and you don’t need this,
only because my energy and blood are in decline do I need this to recover,”
he explained, still afraid that Chen Yuan might bring out that thing again.
“All right, one it is then. I reluctantly agree,” Chen Yuan said with a pained expression, though inwardly he was delighted. From the old man’s 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.
“Let’s wait a bit then. It might take about eight hours until they’re ripe, then I’ll share one with you,” 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:
“I haven’t inquired yet, what treasure is this fruit, and what wonders does it possess?”
The stooped old man took a deep look at Chen Yuan and explained:
“This 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 extrely hard to find, causing many Dan Realm Grandmasters to fight over it every ti it appears.”
Glancing at the stooped old man, Chen Yuan silently thought ‘No wonder’. You couldn’t tell usually, but if you look closely, you could see that this old man’s 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 redy that.
“How did you discover it?”
“As I said earlier, the last ti 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.”
“Was what you said earlier about an old demon beast’s corpse false?” Chen Yuan raised an eyebrow.
“True or false, false or true, is that important?” the stooped old man said, unchanging in expression. Just as he was about to say sothing, he suddenly frowned and shouted sternly:
“Who dares to spy?”
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 ters away.
A figure imdiately ascended into the sky, the handso 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 ters in front of the two, greeting them with a bow and a smile:
“I am Lv Jing. I hail from the Lv family of Dongping Prefecture. So also call the Spirit Void Young Master. It is a pleasure to et both fellow Daoists.”
“Brother Lv.”
Chen Yuan glanced at the stooped old man and replied with a warm smile.
“What do you want?”
The stooped man asked with a displeased tone, his gaze fixed intently on Lv Jing.
“I 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 , three would be just perfect.”
Lv Jing said with an indifferent smile on his face.
Chen Yuan struggled to suppress a smile, nodding as he said:
“This matter should be decided by you.”
He said, looking at the stooped old man.
The stooped old man’s face darkened completely after hearing Lv Jing’s words. He felt extrely upset today; why did everyone want to take advantage of him?
He shouted angrily, “Scram! Is this sothing you can covet?”
He didn’t believe that this Lv Jing also had a Dan Talisman in his possession.
What dog crap Lv family of Dongping Prefecture? He hadn’t even heard of it; it must be nothing significant…
Lv Jing’s expression changed slightly. He had personally seen Chen Yuan divide one of them; why was it not possible when it ca to him? What was he lacking?
“Fellow Daoist, do not deceive yourself.”
Lv Jing said sowhat threateningly.
The stooped old man harrumphed coldly and heavily slamd his staff on the ground, murmuring:
“Patrol 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 there’s no need for that now!”
A murderous intent flickered in his eyes.
“Rest assured, I will ensure the Vermilion Fruits are unhard,” Chen Yuan replied.
He not only liked fights but enjoyed watching them too.
“Good.”
The stooped old man responded and, in the next mont, 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.
“Boom!”
All the Sword Qi was extinguished.
Watching this scene, Lv Jing felt a surge of resentnt but also understood the vast gap between them. He imdiately 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 Jing’s Protective Gang Qi, followed by another strike, landing directly on his legs.
With a ‘bang,’ they snapped.
Lv Jing cried out in pain and pleaded for rcy, but the stooped old man, unmoved and still furious, struck again, inflicting severe injuries.
…
…..
About thirty breaths later, the stooped old man pointed his staff at Lv Jing’s 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.
“Forgive for making you witness this scene,” said the stooped old man in a sinister tone.
“Your skills are impressive; not many in Qingzhou could possibly match your strength,” Chen Yuan said, knowing the old man was also intimidating him.
Lv Jing’s 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 soone.
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!
“What a pity he grew old…”
Seeing the slight shock in Chen Yuan’s 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:
“The timing of that Lv Jing was just right. With his Essence Blood as fertilizer, the Vermilion Fruits have finally ripened!”
