I Have A Qi Fortune Altar.
Chapter 330 - 330 305

Chapter 330: 305 Chapter 330: 305 This voice, filled with Gang Qi by Chen Yuan, carried a wide range, second only to that of his opponent, and his expression was fearless, seeming not to consider the threat of the other at all.

It was as if he had no fear of life and death!

Yue Shan and others below watched as their master stepped into the void, their hearts lifted to their throats, terrified the other party might suddenly strike.

Chen Yuan’s talent was indeed formidable, his strength terrifying, but that depended on whom he faced. He could certainly be arrogant with a Reach Profound Martial Artist, but the one before him was a Dan Realm powerhouse!

Each of these beings could found a sect and even support a first-class power by themselves, living as long as three hundred years,

having transcended the ordinary.

Even if Chen Yuan was strong, it was impossible for him to prevail against such beings, not to mention being ranked twentieth on the Hidden Dragon List. Even those in the top ten or top five had no certainty of surviving against a Dan Realm powerhouse!

Most importantly, the other party held a grudge for the killing of his son against their master!

It was that kind of grudge for the killing of a son, second only to the one for patricide….

Was their master truly unafraid of death?

Was their master truly… brave!

A confrontational retort seemed to make the void itself stagnate, a biting cold wind played with Chen Yuan’s hair tips as he faced a Dan Realm powerhouse. Fear churned inside him,

but his expression remained as steady as an old dog.

Underneath his robe, his hand gripped the Sword Talisman tightly, ready to activate it at the slightest sign of trouble!

Su Ziyue had once said that the Sword Talisman in his hand would allow him to fight back even against a Dan Realm powerhouse. At worst, they would be gravely injured; at best, slightly wounded—none would go unscathed from this sword strike.

Such was her confidence in Sword God Jiang He!

The void froze for a moment, and amidst the rolling dark clouds, a middle-aged man wearing a Xuanqing robe with his hair knotted on his head slowly emerged.

The middle-aged man’s attire was simple, carrying a silver longsword of indiscernible quality on his back, his eyes and eyebrows shared a semblance with Gu Hao, whom Chen Yuan had killed.

The only difference was a trace of world-weariness and a tuft of beard on his chin.

He wore a dark expression, his chin beard fluttering in the wind. If not for the overcast clouds, he might indeed pass for the stance of an Immortal.

Unfortunately, the scene painted him as a man of the Demon Dao.

The name of the middle-aged man before him was something Chen Yuan had investigated. An authoritative elder of the Qingyuan Sword Sect, said to be second in power only to Sect Leader Xiao Yusheng.

As for his name, Gu Chun!

“Sharp-tongued!”

Gu Chun spat out a few words, his eyes calm yet filled with terrifying intent to kill, as he gazed at Chen Yuan. The seemingly ordinary man before him was the one who killed his beloved son.

The son he had high hopes for, who could have brought glory to the Gu family!

Indeed, he had other children, but what were they if not mediocrities and no difference to waste? They had never caught his eye. Only Gu Hao stood out.

But now, he was prematurely lost, perished in the Primordial Void Realm.

This man deserved death!

His gaze treated Chen Yuan as if he were already dead.

This was normal, as amongst all the Reach Profound Martial Artists in the world, who could ensure their escape from the hands of a Dan Realm powerhouse? And he wasn’t merely a newcomer to the Dan Realm.

His Realm was at the peak of True Core, just a step away from Heavenly Core.

Only with such power could one hold great authority in a top-tier sect like the Qingyun Sword Sect!

Chen Yuan laughed coldly, without the slightest intention of retreating, showing no sign of submitting or begging for mercy before the seemingly powerful Gu Chun. Embodying the stance of a Heavenly Patrol Envoy, he spoke coldly:

“What is wrong with the words I just spoke? Gu Hao dared to intercept a court marshal, treating the laws of the court as nothing. Such a person deserved to die by Chen’s hands,

and I still find it dirty!”

“You’re seeking death,”

Gu Chun said coldly.

“It is but a statement of fact. Gu Hao’s death is not a pity, and had it not been for the Qingyun Sword Sect, I would have executed his entire family long ago,” said Chen Yuan, his ear perking as if he caught some transmission, his tone growing even more domineering.

“You talk like that, aren’t you afraid that I, Gu Chun, will exterminate your entire clan to avenge my son?” Gu Chun wasn’t in a hurry to act. In his eyes, Chen Yuan had some capability, but

he was still nothing more than an ant.

“Chen Family has only me remaining. If you can find my entire clan, I would instead thank you,” Chen Yuan said with a faint smile, his demeanor not matching his power.

“I can’t tell if you are arrogantly overconfident or holding a winning hand. You even dare to talk big in front of a Dan Realm Grandmaster,” said Gu Chun.

With a sweep of his embroidered robe, Chen Yuan replied coldly:

“No reason, just being fair and justified.”

“This world belongs to the court, and Qingzhou belongs to the court. I killed Gu Hao because he broke the law, a crime akin to rebellion. If you kill me, you will bring disaster upon the Qingyun Sword Sect.”

“Gu Chun, you old thief, do you know the consequences of publicly cutting down a court marshal!”

The last sentence was almost bellowed out by Chen Yuan.

A surge of momentum burst forth as he roared from his physical body.

Actually, his words were also a hint for Jiang He to come out soon. The distance between him and Gu Chun wasn’t more than sixty yards, hardly two hundred meters.

Such a short distance was enough for Gu Chun to instantly kill him…

Yes, Chen Yuan’s reliance was Jiang He all along, from beginning to end!

As for the sword talisman, it perhaps truly had the power to severely injure a Dan Realm strong expert, but it was not enough to kill the opponent. With his own strength, he was inadequate to handle a severely injured Dan Realm expert.

The only ones who could deal with a Dan Realm expert were other Dan Realm experts!

This was the strategy he had settled on after he found out that news of Gu Hao’s death had spread; during those two days of rest in Prefecture City, Chen Yuan directly used a communication talisman to contact Jiang He.

And he told him all of his situation and planning, to which the answer he received was…

Yes!

He could help Chen Yuan make a move, which is why there was the deliberate departure from Prefecture City, and the journey to Qingzhou City under covert tracks, all to draw out the opponent.

Capture the leader to capture the foe; he must completely eradicate this threat and let everyone know that he, Chen Yuan, was not to be trifled with!

As for concealing his tracks, it was merely to lull Gu Chun into complacency.

To make him believe that he was panicking and fleeing for his life.

Only by doing so could he force a Dan Realm expert to reveal his true body.

As for concealing his tracks, for a Dan Realm expert, it was hardly an issue. As long as a person moved, there would inevitably be traces left behind.

Chen Yuan knew this well in his heart.

Fortunately, Gu Chun took the bait… or perhaps he knew there was something fishy about Chen Yuan’s movements but his confidence in his own power meant he didn’t care.

Indeed, a True Core level grandmaster, why would he care about the means of a Reach Profound Martial Artist?

He was not ignorant of Chen Yuan’s background; a person from a humble household, even with some achievements, was still not yet grown, easily killed with a wave of a hand.

“Envoy? How dare you call yourself an envoy before Gu? It would be more appropriate if Jiang He himself came, and… you, a mere Heavenly Patrol Envoy, also dare to claim the title of an imperial officer?

Even if I killed you, what could the court do to me?”

Gu Chun seemed not to care at all, his words even carried a tone of mockery as he continued:

“Your blood qi is like a dragon, showing you have an extraordinary talent for body refinement, but do you think just that can block a single sword strike from me, Gu Chun? The gap between the Dan Realm and Reach Profound is unimaginable to you.”

Chen Yuan gave a cold laugh, not saying much, but his mind was rapidly wondering why Jiang He had not yet appeared. Just now, Jiang He had clearly transmitted a message to him!

That was why he dared to rebuke a Dan Realm Master and thoroughly infuriate him.

At the same time, he also exposed his Physical Body Realm, Blood Qi like a dragon cultivation, all to make Jiang He value him even more, wasn’t it?

He knew one thing for sure, the Taoist Divine Palace’s value in him stemmed entirely from the talents he had shown, which was why they had gifted him the precious sword talisman and given him a chance to call for help.

They might have their own motives, but this world is just like that, at the least… he still had value to be esteemed.

What he needed to do now was to unleash all the resources and powers he could muster and warn those who bore him ill will.

Seeing that Jiang He had not appeared as expected, Chen Yuan’s heart sank. His fingers clutching the sword talisman turned somewhat pale, but fortunately, with the talisman in hand… he might not kill the old fool,

but he could still have a chance to escape. Thus, he bolstered his confidence and said with a smile:

“Blood Qi like a dragon obviously cannot stop a single sword strike from you, Grandmaster Gu Chun, but it’s more than enough to kill Gu Hao. As his father, would you like to hear how he died?”

“Oh… By the way, I burned his head to ashes, I’m afraid you won’t get to see his last moments.”

Gu Chun still did not rage wildly; his expression just grew more somber. He sized Chen Yuan up and down, his vigilance spiking as he looked around and said indifferently:

“From your past information, it’s clear you’re not a fool. Why are you so eager to die? Are you trying to force my hand?”

“If you think so, then it is,” Chen Yuan replied.

“Actually, I’d like to ask, what gives you, born of humble origins, the right to provoke me? Do you think Gu cannot see there’s something wrong with your movements?

If you really wanted to live, you should’ve stayed put honestly in Prefecture City.”

“Go on, tell me, who gave you this confidence that you dare to be so arrogant.” Gu Chun’s manner was calm and serene, as if he had everything under control.

Even if Chen Yuan had any tricks up his sleeve, he could extinguish them with a flip of his hand.

But soon, he would regret uttering those words.

An extremely chilling voice echoed between heaven and earth.

“It’s me!”

As the voice ended, not far from the east, a figure appeared suddenly before everyone, dressed in white clothes purer than snow and with black hair cascading like a waterfall, his face unclear. The man in white took a step forward as if he had traversed a hundred feet.

His aura blended with the universe, subtly carrying a momentum that could topple heaven, his posture straight as an unsheathed Divine Sword.

Peerless elegance!

That was Chen Yuan’s first impression upon seeing the man in white.

Right, this person was none other than Sword God Jiang He!

The trump card Chen Yuan had prepared for Gu Chun.
