Chapter 241 - 239: Slaying Feng Wushang

Chapter 241: Chapter 239: Slaying Feng Wushang

Chen Yuan aided Chu Hongshang and attacked Feng Wushang at virtually the same time, demonstrating his formidable control over his power.

Feng Wushang himself was incapable of such masterful control.

After all, the more powerful a Secret Technique was, the greater the demand for control over one’s power and the greater the backlash on the user’s own body.

’He’s just a Condensing Truth Realm Martial Artist, where did he get such deep reserves of power?’

Feng Wushang had no time to think. He formed a seal with his left hand, and a boundless amount of Blood Qi condensed within it before smashing down toward the vast wave of Sword Qi.

But the Heaven-Burning Destruction Sword Qi was unbelievably potent.

Even with Feng Wushang attacking at full strength with his Primordial Pill Realm cultivation, he failed to suppress it completely. A significant amount of Sword Qi still broke through the Blood Qi and slammed into his body.

Although his Protective True Qi blocked the Sword Qi, the impacts still sent him stumbling back several steps.

However, upon sensing this power, Feng Wushang’s expression suddenly changed.

"The Great Brightness Sect’s Celestial Fire Secret Manual? Heaven-Burning Destruction Sword Qi?

These are all Cultivation Techniques used by Chen Yuan, the successor of the Great Brightness Sect’s Celestial Fire Hall. Who the hell are you!?"

A sudden chill shot through Feng Wushang’s heart.

This discovery was even more horrifying to Feng Wushang than Chen Yuan’s initial attack.

’Just how much has this Chen Jiutian been hiding?!’

Chen Jiutian had revealed so much today. It was clear now that this was a fight to the death; only one of them would be leaving this valley alive.

"I’m the one who’s going to kill you, of course!"

As Chen Yuan’s voice fell, the Li Yan Blood Fiend around him condensed to its absolute limit, and the Gouli Blood Flame Divine Seal came crashing down.

Divine Shadow Splitting the Sky, burning all between heaven and earth. This attack also forced Feng Wushang to defend with all his might.

At the same time, the Celestial Fire Power within Chen Yuan’s Dantian began to boil. His Qi and Blood surged, burning fiercely, and the Power of the Heart-Burning Karmic Flame erupted, crashing down upon Feng Wushang.

Behind them, crimson Demonic Qi surged around Chu Hongshang. With a blank expression, she unleashed a frenzied assault on Feng Wushang with all her strength.

To her, it didn’t matter if he was Chen Yuan or Chen Jiutian. It didn’t matter if he was from Zhenwu Hall or the Great Brightness Sect.

She only knew that Chen Yuan was her savior, the only one who had given her hope in her moment of despair. That was enough.

The two of them joined forces, fiercely battling Feng Wushang. Nearly every move from both sides was an all-out attack. Chu Hongshang had already burned through half of her Qi and Blood, yet she fought on as if she didn’t even notice.

But the longer Feng Wushang fought, the less confident he became.

His injuries weren’t actually that severe. Even though Chen Yuan’s earlier sneak attack had rattled his Inner Viscera and made him cough up blood, it couldn’t even be considered a minor wound.

The problem was that the power wielded by Chen Yuan and Chu Hongshang was nothing like that of Condensing Truth Realm Martial Artists. The force behind every single strike was astonishing, forcing Feng Wushang to use his full strength just to defend.

This meant Feng Wushang’s own stamina was being drained at a tremendous rate. If this continued, he was afraid he’d be worn down to death by these two juniors from the Condensing Truth Realm!

It was laughable. A Primordial Pill Realm expert, afraid of being exhausted to death by two from the Condensing Truth Realm. If word of this got out, he, Feng Wushang, would become a complete joke.

Feng Wushang’s eyes narrowed. The next moment, the Qi and Blood in his body suddenly began to burn intensely. He slashed the Blood Sword in his hand in all directions, and countless bloody sword auras erupted outwards.

Blood Sword Heaven-Sealing Slash!

The dense barrage of bloody sword auras rushed toward them, instantly forcing Chen Yuan and Chu Hongshang to retreat.

The next moment, Feng Wushang transformed into a streak of bloody light, becoming like a blood-red shadow as he instantly fled toward the back of the valley.

Blood Sword Escape Technique!

The technique was incredibly fast, fleeting as a flash of sword light.

But just as Feng Wushang was about to escape the valley, an array flared to life. A web of bloody Demonic Qi, vast enough to blot out the sky, descended to envelop him.

Chen Yuan knew Feng Wushang was skilled at escaping. How could he not have been prepared?

When he had discussed their plans with Chu Hongshang earlier, she mentioned that she had an Array Plate from Shi Xueyan. It was called the Blood Demon Sky-Covering Array, and it contained an extremely potent Crimson Blood Demon Power, personally infused by Shi Xueyan herself.

The Array Plate was actually meant for self-preservation—a tool to trap an opponent at a critical moment and then flee.

Now, however, Chen Yuan was using it as a deadly trap to corner Feng Wushang.

Feng Wushang’s expression changed abruptly. He slashed repeatedly with his Blood Sword, unleashing violent Sword Qi that stretched for dozens of yards. He hacked madly at the array, trying to shatter it as quickly as possible.

But this Array Plate had been personally crafted by Shi Xueyan. How could Feng Wushang possibly shatter it in such a short amount of time?

Chen Yuan drew his bow and nocked an arrow. The Mulan Continuous Jail-Piercing Arrow came thundering down. Feng Wushang could not afford to ignore an arrow said to be capable of piercing the Ninefold Hell; he had no choice but to defend with all his might.

And that wasn’t all. After firing the first arrow, the power around Chen Yuan’s body gathered once more. He immediately fired a second, and then a third, sending three consecutive arrows shooting toward Feng Wushang.

After cultivating the Valley Spirit Scripture, Chen Yuan’s reserves of power had deepened considerably. It also balanced the Daoist, Buddhist, and Demon Power within his body, causing his explosive strength to skyrocket.

Previously, Chen Yuan wouldn’t have been able to fire a Secret Technique on the level of the Mulan Continuous Jail-Piercing Arrow in quick succession. For one, he couldn’t have gathered the necessary power that quickly, and for another, his own body wouldn’t have been able to withstand the strain.

But now, after firing three arrows in a row, he only felt a significant drain on his power. He was still far from his limit.

Chu Hongshang wasn’t idle, either. The Crimson Training Rainbow Rope in her hand danced, unleashing a majestic wave of Crimson Training Demon Qi that crashed down upon Feng Wushang.

However, her power was ultimately not as deep as Chen Yuan’s. Even while burning her Qi and Blood, she was now on the verge of exhaustion.

Trapped within the array, Feng Wushang could only take the beating passively, his own power draining away at a rapid pace.

He’d never imagined he would be pushed into such a corner by two juniors from the Condensing Truth Realm.

Especially Chen Yuan.

Feng Wushang had always known Chen Yuan was strong, consistently making a name for himself on the Hidden Dragon Rankings and climbing the ranks at lightning speed.

But only now, after truly clashing with him, did he realize just how terrifying Chen Yuan’s reserves of power were.

’And this bastard even has a hidden identity, occupying two spots on the Hidden Dragon Rankings by himself! What does that mean?’

’It means that even when he reached thirteenth place on the Hidden Dragon Rankings, he still wasn’t using his full strength!’

Only now, having decided to utterly annihilate Feng Wushang and leave no one alive, was Chen Yuan finally revealing his true, peak state.

Feng Wushang suddenly clenched his jaw, a ruthless glint in his eyes.

’My only option now is to risk it all. Surrendering or admitting defeat is useless.’

’Since Chen Yuan has revealed his true identity to me, he definitely won’t let me live.’

’To survive, I have to seek life from the jaws of death!’

A bloody light surged from Feng Wushang’s hand. Under this power, his blood-colored long sword suddenly shattered, but a pure, dazzling bloody radiance emerged from within the fragments.

Feng Wushang formed a Seal Technique with his hands, grabbed the bloody radiance, and fused it into his body. In an instant, he was filled with a powerful Blood Qi Sword Aura, and his strength began to climb rapidly.

Simultaneously, a blood-colored Primordial Pill within Feng Wushang’s body began to spin rapidly. A boundless, murderous Sword Qi overflowed, completely shrouding his figure.

Blood Sword Origin, becoming the sword itself!

This was the final move of Feng Wushang’s Blood Killing Seven Swords. At this moment, he himself *was* the Blood Sword. The slightest movement of his body produced the roar of Sword Qi. With the fall of his fist, a bloody radiance shot to the heavens, its might boundless!

As Feng Wushang’s body slammed against the array, Chu Hongshang’s strength also reached its limit. She could no longer maintain the array, and cracks began to appear across it.

Chu Hongshang wanted to attack again, but Chen Yuan stopped her.

"Stop. You’ve almost reached the limit of how much Qi and Blood you can burn. Any more and you’ll risk damaging your foundation."

Chu Hongshang shook her head. "I’m not at my limit. I calculated it during the trials in the Ten Thousand Demon Sect’s secret realm. I can still hold on longer."

Chen Yuan finally understood how Chu Hongshang had gained so much strength in such a short time. It was earned by repeatedly risking her life.

Anyone else who fought so desperately would have probably died a hundred times over.

’It’s just that the Crimson Demon Venerable from the original story seems to have true providence on her side. Despite risking her life like this so many times, she always manages to survive.’

"Now that I’m here, you don’t need to fight so desperately."

Hearing Chen Yuan’s words, Chu Hongshang looked slightly stunned. Then, she nodded obediently, retreated to the side, and stuffed a handful of Elixirs into her mouth.

She also cultivated the Inner Vision God Observation Method, so her control over her own body was extremely strong. The Elixirs digested as quickly for her as they did for Chen Yuan.

By this point, Feng Wushang had completely blasted the array to smithereens. He immediately transformed into a streak of bloody light and fled toward the valley exit.

But just then, Dao Essence began to emanate from Chen Yuan’s body. The pure, dense Dao Essence Power he wielded was even stronger than that of a Martial Artist from a major Daoist Sect like Zhang Zhilan.

He formed a Seal Technique with his hands. In an instant, the boundless Dao Essence transformed into silvery-white liquid lightning.

Amidst the roar of thunder, as if drawing a sword from its sheath, Chen Yuan manifested a long sword shimmering with Thunder Tribulation Power in his hand.

With a single thrust, the thunder of Shenxiao descended, subduing demons and slaying evil, an unstoppable force!

In a flash, an area hundreds of yards in every direction was bathed in a silvery-white light, with only the deafening roar of thunder echoing through the world!

Shenxiao Evil-slaying Sword!

Chen Yuan activated the Shenxiao Evil-slaying Sword using the power of the Valley Spirit Scripture. The resulting might was even greater than when Wen Cangyuan had used the same technique.

Feng Wushang was utterly horrified. ’Just how many identities does this Chen Jiutian have? How many Secret Techniques does he know?’

’How can he even use the Shenxiao Evil-slaying Sword of the Shenxiao Sect?’

The Shenxiao Evil-slaying Sword was made to subdue demons and slay evil; its power was grand and righteous. In contrast, his Blood Killing Seven Swords was a Cultivation Technique that leaned toward the sinister and heretical, meaning it was completely countered by his opponent’s technique.

As the sword descended, its lightning-infused light locked him firmly in place. No matter how he tried to flee, he could not escape its targeting range.

Feng Wushang let out a furious roar. Gathering the last shred of power in his body, he transformed into a sky-piercing Blood Sword and surged forward to meet the attack.

But amidst the sky-filling lightning, the Blood Sword shattered. Feng Wushang’s Protective True Qi was annihilated by the lightning, and with a thunderous explosion, his entire body was sent flying like a ragdoll!

Before Feng Wushang could even hit the ground, Chen Yuan stepped forward. The Blood Sea Listening Tide Slash descended, leaving a crimson Sword Aura in its wake.

The Shenxiao Evil-slaying Sword had already shattered Feng Wushang’s Primordial Pill and Inner Viscera, leaving him grievously wounded and powerless to resist.

With that one slash, his head fell to the ground. Not even a single drop of blood flowed from the charred corpse.
