Chapter 549: Chapter 398: Gu He Falls, Immortal Spirit Qi_3

At the time when the noise below showed no signs of stopping, Shangguan Yu’s eyes were also filled with emotion.

In life and death, we share our courage and loyalty, a promise worth its weight in gold!

“Brother Chen has treated me so well, how can I ever repay him?” he couldn’t help but say in his heart.

Chen Yuan calmly glanced at the empty space where only a Spirit Sword with some residual spirituality lay, and said indifferently:

“Brother Gu, you’ve yielded!”

The tone of his voice was exactly the same as Gu He’s when he had earlier spoken to Shangguan Yu.

Shangguan Yu couldn’t help but say:

“Brother Chen.”

Chen Yuan smiled and said:

“Brother Shangguan, I have avenged you!”

It must be said that Shangguan Yu, Chen Yuan’s ‘good brother’, indeed brought him quite a few conveniences. Aside from giving him an excuse to take action, he could also share some of the Gu Family’s wrath.

It made him think, perhaps Shangguan Yu was his lucky charm…

“Chen Yuan, you’re looking for death!”

A True Master from the Gu Family, who had been watching before, let out a cold snort, a fiery rage about to burst forth, but just as he was about to condense his Primordial Energy, an imposing aura directly enveloped him.

Fang Hongtai said indifferently:

“Dare to disturb the Ascension Battle, and you shall be killed without mercy!”

“Fang Hongtai, you…” The Gu Family True Master began to spit out harsh words, but looking into Fang Hongtai’s calm eyes, he instantly quieted down as if doused with a bucket of cold water.

“Tower Master Fang, Chen Yuan dared to make a killing move, this seat can’t just let him be.”

“In the Ascension Battle, life and death are not in question.”

“But Gu He had already admitted defeat.” He had clearly heard Gu He’s cry earlier.

“I did not hear the words ‘I admit defeat’.”

“Do you really intend to protect this person, Tower Master Fang?”

“I will protect everyone within Martial Emperor City. If you dare lay a hand on Chen Yuan in Martial Emperor City, don’t blame me for turning my face and not recognizing anyone,” said Fang Hongtai, his face calm.

This was the foundation on which Ascending Immortal Tower was built, protecting all the talents listed on the Hidden Dragon List within Martial Emperor City, with no exceptions. Moreover, this was during the Ascension Battle.

Whoever dared to obstruct, must die.

This point had been established since the tradition of the Ascension Battle, and already many had died, but some people clearly did not understand the rule.

The face of the Gu Family True Master darkened as he fixed Fang Hongtai with a stare, then turned his gaze to Chen Yuan:

“Chen Yuan, you dare to strike down with intent to kill and become enemies with my Gu Family. You may have been lucky today, but I will ensure you are suppressed for a hundred years, regretting today’s choice.”

“In the Ascension Battle, since ancient times, life and death are not to be disputed. The Gu Family really has a big face, only your family is allowed to kill others, but others are not allowed to kill your people?”

Not far away, the Heavenly Demon Hall’s Prisoner Demon Lord scoffed and continued:

“In my opinion, Chen Yuan did well, such shameless individuals should be utterly annihilated.”

“Song Zhilun, how dare you insult my Gu Family?”

“Insult you? What of it? If you disagree, we can have a life and death fight, and see if I dare to kill someone from your Gu Family,” Song Zhilun’s mouth curled into a sneer.

The True Master from the Gu Family snorted coldly but did not reply, and continued to speak to Chen Yuan:

“Don’t talk about unintentional mistakes. You were deliberately targeting He’er. We, the Gu Family, will remember today’s humiliation.”

Chen Yuan faced Gu He’s True Master directly, nodding:

“You’re not wrong. I did it on purpose. Gu He is just a piece of trash who couldn’t withstand a single strike of mine. If he is what the Gu Family pins its hopes on, then the Gu Family truly has no hope.”

“Gu He dared to insult Brother Shangguan, so I dared to annihilate his Divine Soul completely. Old dog, what will you do?”

“You scoundrel, how dare you insult me!”

“It is you I insult, the mere Gu Family, thinking you can sweep the world? As a Divine Envoy of the court, why would I fear an old dog about to die? If you have the guts, just wait outside Martial Emperor City. After the Ascension Battle, let’s see if I dare to come out of the city.”

“As martial artists, who would shy away from a fight, even if your cultivation is overwhelming, what is there for Chen to fear?” Chen Yuan stared at the True Master from the Gu Family and said coldly.

“Indeed, this is the spirit of martial artists. Young man, I admire you. Staying in the government would be a waste for you. How about joining my Heavenly Demon Hall? I’d like to see if the Gu Family dares to bully you,” said Song Zhilun, laughing heartily.

“Many thanks, Senior Song, for your kindness. It’s just a pity that my heart is dedicated to the state, wishing only to bring benefits to the people.”

A hint of regret appeared in Song Zhilun’s eyes; he was an exceptionally promising young talent, and with proper nurturing, he definitely had the potential for Yang Transformation.

At this moment, Shangguan Yu spoke solemnly:

“Brother Chen, Shangguan is willing to accompany you to the death. You once said, in life and death, we share our courage and loyalty, a promise worth its weight in gold. Although Shangguan is not as good as you, I am also a man,

I’ll face death for you who have stood up for me!”

Zhang Xuan stood up, facing Gu He’s True Master and pronounced loudly:

“My father is the Divine Envoy of the Heavenly Patrol Bureau; I’d like to see if the Gu Family really wants to rebel. If you dare touch Brother Chen, let’s see if the Heavenly Patrol Bureau dares to obliterate the Gu Family.”

Ye Chenbai was excited but thought about his own situation and ultimately let out a long sigh.

Gu He’s True Master took a deep look at Chen Yuan, Shangguan Yu, and Zhang Xuan, snorted coldly, and left immediately.

At this moment, most people present looked towards Chen Yuan with eyes full of respect. This was the essence of a martial artist, facing threats from the strong without fear or favor.

Wei Wuque nodded:

“Gentlemen, you truly are men of great character.”

Yu Qingyan looked intently at Chen Yuan, not seeing a trace of fear in his eyes, her spirit wavered for a moment, and she let out a breath of turbid air.

Zuo Chengzong looked straight ahead, his gaze solemn.

Wei Wuya slightly nodded, admiring Chen Yuan’s courage; only such a person deserved the top rank on the Hidden Dragon List.

Fang Hongtai said in a deep voice:

“The Ascension Battle continues!”

Chen Yuan’s gaze shifted to Bai Changqing in front of him and said calmly:

“Brother Bai, draw your sword.”

Bai Changqing smiled, sheathing his Pure Yang Sword. Indeed, he still had a unique move that he had harbored for many years that he hadn’t used, but now there was no point, after all, he didn’t care about victory or rankings.

“Brother Chen, a hero of our times, is not only courageous but also admirable. Bai doesn’t want to fight anymore.”

“There’s no need for this, Brother Bai. If you wish to fight, I shall certainly oblige,” Chen Yuan responded.

Bai Changqing shook his head and said:

“In life and death, we share our courage and loyalty, a promise worth its weight in gold—excellent poetry. Bai is not as good as you in literature, nor with the sword compared to your blade.”
