Chapter 680: Chapter 442, a battle that shocks the heavens, confer the title of Lord Wuwei!

After the event that had transpired earlier that day, news spread with incredible speed in the Capital, causing a sensation among countless people.

At the same time, the name Chen Yuan had become famous throughout the Capital!

Previously, his fame was mostly confined to Qingzhou, and it significantly diminished outside of Qingzhou. The only thing well-known about him was his rank at the top of the Hidden Dragon List.

In the Capital, however, few knew of this.

After all, communication at that time was quite limited, and it was not possible for everyone to be informed.

But this time was different. When Chen Yuan broke through the Sumeru Illusion Realm and slew Japan’s top genius before the eyes of more than a hundred thousand people, his deeds became known to all.

In a certain tavern, an old man dressed in tattered green clothes, holding a jug of wine, kept pouring himself drinks, while eager eyes gathered around him.

“Old Deng, quickly tell us!”

“Yes, I’m dying to know.”

“Darn it, I was busy yesterday and missed it. I regret missing such a big event,” someone expressed with regret.

The elder, known as Old Deng, burped long and hard before stuffing another couple of peanuts into his mouth and began to speak:

“All right, since you all want to hear it, let the old man tell you.”

“Tell us.”

“Hurry up…hurry up…”

“Yesterday, at about the third quarter of the hour, surrounded by hundreds of thousands of citizens of the Capital, that Japanese wretch Ito Ikeda stood poised in mid-air, stepping forward to challenge, eager to witness the skills of the Central Plains Martial Artists…”

“The first one to go up was General Yu from the Longevity Camp, and speaking of him, he is a character indeed. Orphaned since childhood, a veritable star of calamity, and after a cry of astonishment, General Yu took the lead to break through.”

“Unfortunately, he was too weak, and in just a short moment, he fell from the void. If someone hadn’t caught him, he would have turned into a pile of flesh.

The second one on the stage was the commander of the Capital…”

“The third one on the stage was…”

“What’s the matter, can none of our Central Plains Martial Artists break through the challenges set by these Japanese wretches?” someone said indignantly.

As people born in the Central Plains, especially those raised in the Capital, they possess a certain pride. Now, to be challenged by the Japanese, whom they looked down upon, was a total humiliation.

“Everyone, don’t be anxious, let me explain in detail…” Old Deng once again shoveled a few peanuts into his mouth and spoke loudly:

“Dozens of our Central Plains Martial Artists tried to break through but all failed. Just when everyone felt utterly humiliated, Chen Qing, the Green Envoy, stepped forward as ordered to face the challenge and recited a poem, stunning everyone:

“Heroes are born from this world, where years in Jianghu haste. Vast ambitions and glorious conquests are dealt with laughter, no foes in the human world can waste!”

“What a poem! What a poem indeed!”

“So heroic and powerful.”

“Speaking of Chen Qing, he truly is extraordinary. He was the top ranker in the last Hidden Dragon List, defeating all heroes, and became the top champion in the East Sea Martial Emperor City, renowned worldwide, worthy of the Emperor’s great expectations.”

“What happened then?”

“Stop dragging it out, hurry up!”

“Then, with every step ascending to heaven, Chen Qing recited the poem he had just composed and said to Ito Ikeda, proclaimed as Japan’s number one genius, ‘I’ll break through the Sumeru Illusion Realm and behead you to enhance the fun.’ Immediately afterward, Chen Qing stepped into the Sumeru Illusion Realm without looking back.”

Old Deng vividly narrated the dangers Chen Yuan had encountered as if he had been there himself. At the first trial of climbing the stairs, like everyone else, Chen suddenly paused, causing countless people’s hearts to seize.

In the second trial against a false body, a fierce battle erupted, and Chen was initially losing, causing the onlookers to clutch their cups tighter and their hearts to rise in suspense.

Luckily, when he spoke of Chen Qing’s breakthrough in the midst of battle, the crowds felt a wave of relief wash through them.

Next, Old Deng moved on to the most terrifying third trial, where tentacles that blotted out the sky and were a hundred lengths long with eight heads, resembled a Demon God.

Afterward, a Buddha appeared from a great sun, merging with the eight-headed and eight-tailed monster, pressuring Chen Qing so heavily that the ground shattered.

Mountains shook, and the winds and clouds changed Above the Nine Heavens.

The Buddha was about to judge Chen Yuan, proclaiming him guilty and wanting to suppress him completely.

At the most critical moment, Chen Yuan, fearless of hardship, drew his sword as the collective will of the crowd erupted with “Behead it!”

When these three characters were spoken, the listeners in the tavern boiled with excitement.

They couldn’t help but roar out loud.

Old Deng then detailed the battle that followed, describing it as if the sky and earth were tearing apart and the rivers and mountains were reversing, making the listeners regret not having witnessed such a scene themselves.

If Chen Yuan were also here, he probably would feel like a stranger to these tales.

Is this really about him?

If everyone says so, then it must be!

Speaking of Chen Yuan’s furious beheading of the Buddha, splitting the skies with one strike and shattering the Sumeru Illusion Realm into pieces, the crowd erupted in joy. Then they spoke of Chen Yuan glaring at Ito Ikeda,

and bellowed out, ‘Wait till autumn comes on the eighth of September, I’ll cover Japan and enjoy the cherry blossoms,’ such a heroic verse.

He talked about how Chen Yuan annihilated Ito Ikeda with three strikes.

He mentioned the unanimous cry of “Japanese wretches, come forward and meet your death!”

“Bravo!!!”

“Well done, a reward is due!”

“Truly damn satisfying!”

“Those Japanese wretches deserve a harsh beating.”

“I heard there’s a Japanese courtesan in the music bureau, darn it, today I’m all in to help Chen Qing a bit, and enjoy the blooming cherry blossoms over there.”

“Count me in, count me in.”
