Chapter 613: Chapter Three Hundred and Ninety-Three: Trump Card

The words had hardly left his lips when the misty forest fell into silence.

Tang Ruofu, floating in midair, did not reply immediately, a thoughtful gleam appearing in his eyes as if pondering the younger generation’s intentions below.

Xu Yuan didn’t rush him, merely waiting in silence.

Gambling with his life...

If he had a choice, he would never have gambled his life against the trump cards of the Semi-Saint before him.

Unfortunately, he had no choice.

The situation seemed to be in his favor, but this advantage was more illusory than real.

Their recent clash had made Xu Yuan acutely aware of something.

The gap between them and Tang Ruofu had almost reached the point where strategy was useless.

Tang Ruofu’s strength was almost dominantly powerful against them.

However, it was precisely because of this overwhelming power that Xu Yuan had some speculation about what Tang Ruofu wanted to do, based on Tianyan’s inherited identity.

Yuchu was the ideal candidate to be refined into the Enchantress Divine Tree Spirit.

For this reason, neither Jiatiange nor Taiqing Tao Palace, those two colossal entities, would allow the two of them to die here.

And this information would surely lead to Jiatiange pressuring them during their collaboration with the Inviting Moon Sect, issuing an absolute command not to kill them.

Of course, that was the stance of Jiatiange and did not represent the Inviting Moon Sect.

Infighting was present within the same system, let alone the Inviting Moon Sect, which was merely a collaborator.

The greed of humans is always boundless.

Rather than safely sharing the leftovers, the risk of monopolizing the entire victory was undoubtedly more tempting.

And as Xu Yuan had anticipated,

the arrival of the Inviting Moon Sect’s party alone indicated they had no intention of handing him and Tianyan over.

With this in mind, Tang Ruofu’s intentions became quite simple.

First, to ensure that the Enchantress Divine Tree Seed wouldn’t be destroyed by them in a desperate situation.

Second, to ascertain why Jiatiange and Taiqing Tao Palace did not wish for their deaths.

The precondition for achieving these two points was to capture them alive, but that was nearly impossible, since both of them were strong warriors of the Primordial Realm after all.

With the strength that Tang Ruofu had shown before, he was likely able to incapacitate one of them, either him or Tianyan, in an instant, but the problem was there were two of them.

If he captured the wrong person, and the other held the Enchantress Divine Tree Seed, seeing the absolute power disparity, if the other chose to destroy the seed and die in despair, then everything would be in vain.

Therefore, Tang Ruofu chose a more prudent approach.

He feigned weakness to mislead his opponent Xu Yuan, disrupted his judgment with various methods, gave him and Tianyan hope of overcoming him, and finally intended to use some unknown trump card to rapidly capture the two of them.

Unfortunately, plans cannot keep up with changes.

Just as he had not anticipated encountering a powerful adversary like Tang Ruofu, Tang Ruofu had also not expected them to have the capability to capture a person undergoing Mortal Transcendence.

Both had miscalculated.

...

A moment as brief as the time it takes to brew a cup of tea had swiftly passed, and ultimately it was Tang Ruofu’s voice that shattered the silence within the mist:

"Kid, I... seem to like you even more now."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yuan let out a faint chuckle:

"Like me? Like what about me? Like how I disrespected your Dao companion?"

"...."

After a moment of silence, Tang Ruofu stared at Xu Yuan’s hand grasping Xia Qing’s hair, observed the flush on her face, and then suddenly chuckled softly:

"I like your tactics. Without Jiatiange hunting you down, you could one day become a great hero."

"...."

Hearing this, Xu Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly and applied a little more pressure with his hand on the spine acupoint of the woman before him, the soft and delicate skin indented just a bit.

During the waiting earlier, he had not been idle.

As the Origin Qi containing the Enchantress Divine Taoist Charm continuously flowed into Xia Qing’s body, by this moment, the inside of her meridians had completely lost any resistance to his Qi.

His Origin Qi could now freely enter and exit her body.

In an era without slave marks, the simplest way to control someone’s life and death at any time was to implant an Origin Qi bomb inside their body.

Just like what he had done to Tianyan when he first arrived in this Illusionary Realm.

With the continuous influx of Origin Qi,

Xia Qing’s Dantian, Sea of Consciousness, and various key acupoints were all implanted with several Origin Qi bombs by him.

In other words, he could now end Xia Qing’s life with just a thought.

After completing these tasks, Xu Yuan quietly chuckled and casually tossed the enchanting lady he had been holding to the side into a flower bed.

Without her restraints, this gentle lady of Mortal Transcendence did not get up; she had already sunk into the depths of the Charm Poison, her slender and voluptuous legs tightly pressed together and rubbing incessantly, her ample and seductive body twisting continuously on the ground.

After a glance, Xu Yuan turned with a smile and said,

"Isn’t this method something only a despicable villain would use?"

Tang Ruofu gently shook his head, his tone amused,

"The wrath of mediocrity is the incompetence of base men; it’s the path of the great to win at all costs by any means necessary."

Hearing the other’s tempered voice, Xu Yuan’s alertness internally rose, but he still replied with a smile,

"I don’t oppose your view, but from your tone, it seems you are ready?"

In response to this question, Tang Ruofu suddenly countered,

"Do you... want to know why they call me the ’Sword Madman’?"

As he spoke, the Energy Mechanism around Tang Ruofu suddenly surged, and there was a series of explosive sounds inside his body.

Seeing this, confusion intensified in Xu Yuan’s eyes.

In his perception, Tang Ruofu... had shattered nearly all of his internal organs, including the meridians, except for his Dantian and Sea of Consciousness.

All fell silent,

Mists drifted, waterfalls stood still, and the fog-enshrouded lake suddenly rippled with dark undulations.

Splat...

Without any warning, a bright crimson splattered across Xu Yuan’s field of vision, like a rain of splendor.

Blood spilled from the corners of his mouth, and Xu Yuan instinctively looked down at his chest.

There, a blade wound had appeared without any sign.

And Tianyan, who was hundreds of feet away, was struck at the same time.

The black robes were soaked with bright crimson blood, and Tianyan, looking at the sudden wound on her body, showed confusion and astonishment in her dazzling golden eyes.

She had also failed to detect Tang Ruofu’s technique.

But such a mere penetrating wound was far from fatal for a Primordial Cultivator.

However, soon,

An abnormal flush gradually crept up her cheeks, and the Charm Poison lurking within her was completely seduced out by the wound.

The Enchantress Divine Taoist Charm...

Why did this strike contain the Enchantress Divine Taoist Charm?

Tianyan instinctively looked towards Xu Yuan on the ground, and Xu Yuan also happened to look up at her.

Their eyes met for an instant, and both saw astonishment in the other’s eyes.

They had likely guessed what the other’s trump card was.

The next instant,

Xu Yuan’s figure suddenly disappeared.

At the same time,

Another unhealable wound appeared on Tianyan’s chest followed by the complete shattering of all her internal organs, bones, and meridians...
