Chapter 343: Chapter 151: The Nine Cauldrons Unite, Ascending the Multi-story Building Again!

The rain fell as Li Guanyi took deep breaths.

His tense muscles relaxed, and blood surged at a high speed. The high-level burst of activity in his organs caused his body temperature to soar rapidly. Now that he had relaxed, he exhaled a thick white vapor. To an ordinary person, such an eruption would be followed by death due to organ toxicity.

In his past life, the woman who had lifted a car to save a child and the man who had withstood a boulder both faced this. The body has its limits, and surpassing those limits could lead to high internal temperatures, fevers, rising blood pressure, and other subsequent health issues, but Li Guanyi’s physique simply ignored these side effects.

He felt that a third of the Golden Core solidified by his "Eternal Moon Undying Body" had been consumed.

This thirteen-breath outburst used up more than his fight with Xu Huixiang.

With the Dark Gold Mask concealing his aura and seizing the advantage, he relied on the explosive power to instantly blast away Chen Yuyun’s defenses. Then, in the moment Chen Yuyun’s Inner Qi burst forth, he pierced through the neck with Aunt’s Qiushui Sword and executed a counterattack, nailing the kill. In that brief time, almost all the skills he had learned were condensed into this action.

If any single part had broken free, it would have turned into scorching tension, and an instant kill would have been difficult.

The Dark Gold Mask eased the fatigue in Li Guanyi’s spirit.

He crouched down quickly and patted Chen Yuyun’s body before pausing. His five fingers grasped something and yanked it fiercely, pulling down the jade disk. In the dim night, he could see the style of the White Jade, which gave him a familiar feeling.

He tucked the White Jade into his chest and proceeded to take various items from Chen Yuyun’s body.

This was Breaking Army’s suggestion.

Yes, killing Chen Yuyun, a top ten master, was a one-strike fatality.

But would Situ Deqing do it this way?

"He wouldn’t."

Breaking Army said this with a smile, his eyes carrying a hint of Purple Energy. He tapped his forehead with a folding fan and said, "Bring in Situ Deqing, consider what he would do. He would disguise it as someone else killing him, all to conceal his own identity as much as possible."

"Like a murder, like a robbery."

"Creating the appearance that Situ Deqing committed the murder would immediately make Emperor Chen suspect and disbelieve in this outcome. But if the perfect appearance of a robbery is laced with a thread of Situ Deqing’s Inner Qi, and this Inner Qi is discovered by Emperor Chen himself, he would immediately be convinced."

"That it was Situ Deqing who killed and disguised it."

"That it was Situ Deqing who disguised the appearance of a fight."

"Then, why would Situ Deqing disguise his own murder? Emperor Chen would think that the master behind Situ knows the consequences of killing a mere royal family member, knows the true identity of this royal family member. Why is this?"

"Hahaha——"

Breaking Army’s eyes shone with joyous Purple Energy as he smiled in approval:

"Emperor Chen is indeed deeply cunning."

"But against such an opponent, providing him with all the clues for suspicion, he will find the answer in his own heart. All we need to do is give him a little push, rather than providing a definite answer."

"Because he, except for himself, trusts no one."

Li Guanyi used the body-searching technique taught by Brother Yue to search the body.

And used his fingers like a sword.

The "Six Void Four Union Divine Skill" operated and transformed into the cold and domineering Inner Qi like that of Situ Deqing, and then he swiftly hit Chen Yuyun’s acupoints. In such a world, simply hitting the throat or heart was incorrect.

The focus was on the meridians and acupoints.

The Du Meridian, Bai Hui Acupoint, Shenting Acupoint, Sun Acupoint, Ermen Acupoint, Qingming Acupoint, Ren Zhong Acupoint, and Yamen Acupoint—Li Guanyi, in the blink of an eye, struck through all seventy-two major acupoints and thirty-six fatal acupoints in Chen Yuyun’s body.

Among them, the throat and heart were just one of the fatal acupoints.

The rain did not stop. Li Guanyi watched as Chen Yuyun, now breathless, lay there. Ten years ago, his Fate Grid and Qi Fortune were lost because of this very person, and now, he lay here as the rain continued to fall. Suddenly, Li Guanyi felt an indescribable sense of unreality. He opened his eyes and activated his Qi Observation Skill.

He saw the surging greenish-purple Qi Fortune on Chen Yuyun’s body.

The world was a dim ink color, and as the rain poured down, two figures—one horizontal and one vertical—stood one up and one lying. On the dead body, the greenish-purple Qi Fortune was at its peak!

Before the grand martial arts competition, by making it into the top four, following the path laid out by Emperor Chen step by step, Li Guanyi did not know. Today, Chen Yuyun had still confided with Emperor Chen, his Qi Fortune at its peak, yet dying at the most auspicious moment.

At this moment, the Qi Fortune rolled over like waves, all of it falling onto Li Guanyi.

The youth, holding onto the jade disk, suddenly thought back.

His parents had been killed when their Qi Fortune was at its peak.

Chen Yuyun also died at his most triumphant moment at his own hands.

Qi Fortune, such a fickle thing, Li Guanyi chuckled softly to himself twice, securing the White Jade. He bent down, picked up the fallen bamboo umbrella, casually lifted Chen Yuyun’s body, and threw it into the courtyard where Chen Yuyun lived, landing squarely in the bushes.

He then opened his umbrella, saying softly, "I’ll leave him to you."

He turned and walked away with his umbrella, taking unhurried steps.

The Five Dharma Forms pounced and devoured the large swaths of green Qi Fortune, but the last bit of Purple Energy seemed too much for them to swallow. Li Guanyi raised his hand, and the wisps of Purple Energy flew into his sleeve. The youth walked on, following the map given by Breaking Army.

Breaking Army’s calculations were precise. There were hardly any people around the path Li Guanyi was walking on.
