I Have A Qi Fortune Altar.
Chapter 409 - 409 349 Opportunity Nameless Heavenly Stele

Chapter 409: Chapter 349 Opportunity, Nameless Heavenly Stele! Chapter 409: Chapter 349 Opportunity, Nameless Heavenly Stele! Chen had never been someone to suffer in silence, now that he had taken a sword strike from Bai Changqing, he naturally had to return it.

The sword strike he had just taken was quite difficult, and had it not been for the Protective Armor from the alchemists, his injuries would have been severe.

Yet, he had still been injured.

If it weren’t for the Blood Bodhi, he might have watched the opponent walk away, but now, with the Blood Bodhi to heal him, those injuries could be reversed in an instant, and he naturally had to reclaim his dignity.

It’s just a pity for the armor, to be damaged just like that.

Such a pity.

But on second thought, he came to terms with it, the translucent armor although excellent, had been around for too long.

Its spiritual quality had declined, and over the hundred years, its power had diminished significantly.

And the power of that sword strike just then was truly exceptional, it was the strongest technique he had encountered to date.

That it could break through was understandable.

Of course, this didn’t mean that the armor was completely obliterated, it was just that its defenses had been breached, and with some repairs, it could still be used.

Upon hearing this, Bai Changqing was startled and surveyed Chen Yuan from top to bottom, his gaze growing more solemn. The power of that sword strike was unknown to others,

but he was acutely aware of it. Over the years, several experts had been defeated by that sword, including Shangguan Yu, who had been watching the fight below. For the past two years, Shangguan Yu had been wanting to spar with him again, hoping to restore his honor.

Unbelievably, Chen Yuan had taken that sword strike without a change in expression, and now even wanted to return a punch, truly out of the ordinary.

“Very well, Green Envoy, make your move.”

With the spiritual quality of the Pure Yang Sword damaged, Bai Changqing sheathed the sword and let it rest on his back.

Chen Yuan nodded, and rapidly executed the Vajra Glaze Body Technique. Beneath his clothes, a dark golden light circulated over his flesh, and his blood qi surged around his body.

The terrifying aura, like a wild beast awakening, faced Bai Changqing as Chen Yuan gently threw a punch.

Earth-shatteringly powerful, Primordial Energy from the surrounding area of several tens of meters converged into his fist, the terrifying fist power leading a formidable force that locked onto Bai Changqing’s Qi.

The void continuously emitted booming sounds.

Bai Changqing raised his palm and struck out with ease and calm.

Sword Qi burst from his palm, also releasing a powerful aura.

As they collided, the commotion was almost as intense as before. Centered around them, the waters of the Guangling River exploded into waves several meters high due to the effect of the Gang Qi.

After a short while, the waves settled, and the wind died down.

Bai Changqing took a deep breath, his chest rising and falling slightly, and gave Chen Yuan a deep look. He nodded slightly towards him, and with the Pure Yang Sword unsheathing and floating behind him, he softly said:

“Brother Chen, I take my leave.”

“Please do.”

Following that, Bai Changqing turned to ride his sword, not even glancing at Zhao Hao on the giant ship, and turned into a streak of light, disappearing into the sky.

Chen Yuan remained in place, the expression on his face unchanged, calm and composed as he gazed into the distance, standing there for a moment as if seeing off Bai Changqing.

Eventually, he carelessly stroked his freshly sprouted stubble on his chin with his finger.

Looking down, he noticed a smear of blood in his palm.

Bai Changqing’s blood!

This man was indeed extraordinary.

At this moment, about four to five li away from the edge of Yunjiang, Bai Changqing’s face reddened, he pinched his sword hand, and stopped in his tracks, softly coughing.

There was also a smear of blood in his palm.

The blood left by Chen Yuan’s punch!

He looked back and let out a sigh, thinking to himself:

“This man is truly extraordinary.”

Outside of the top five on the Hidden Dragon List, this was the first person who managed to injure him. That terrifying blood Qi was truly formidable; while he still had other techniques,

for the sake of Zhao Hao, it really wasn’t worth it.

Actually, from the moment he proposed a single sword strike to determine the winner, he had already recognized Chen Yuan as a formidable opponent. A desperate fight wasn’t worth it; it was enough to give elder Li an explanation.

Yet he didn’t expect to still suffer injuries in the end.

As for why he and Chen Yuan each hid their injuries.

That’s naturally because injuries are temporary,

but showing off is a lifetime affair!

…

…

On the banks of the Guangling River, Chen Yuan’s aura gradually stabilized, and outsiders couldn’t see his true condition. On the contrary, in many people’s eyes, he was unfathomable.

He had managed to draw even with Bai Changqing, who had never been defeated before, leading many to secretly think this Demon Blade was indeed extraordinary.

It should be noted that in the eyes of some, Chen Yuan’s leap from the twentieth to the seventh spot on the Hidden Dragon List was somewhat excessive; they felt he didn’t possess that level of strength.

Many were even waiting to see him make a fool of himself, and if he were to be defeated by someone ranked below him, his reputation of being unbeatable would shatter.

However, unexpectedly, he really did have his own remarkable abilities.

And in reality, in Chen Yuan’s own view, he wasn’t just talented; he had several more tricks up his sleeve…

Chen Yuan chose not to use the Blood Bodhi to recover, which would have been wasteful as there were only a few and using one meant one less; it would be hard to find more in the short term.

And of those remaining, except for a man in black, none were worth his effort anymore.

Onlookers by the Guangling River discussed fervently, foreseeing that today’s battle would rapidly spread throughout Shuzhou and even further.

Although Chen Yuan did not defeat Bai Changqing, neither did the latter best him. The two were considered evenly matched, which was quite remarkable already.

In the eyes of many in Shuzhou, Bai Changqing was the strongest under the Core Realm; Chen Yuan would now also be regarded in this position, and most importantly…
