Chapter 242: Chapter 226 Everyone, Listen to the Dragon Roar!

Chapter 242: Chapter 226 Everyone, Listen to the Dragon Roar!

Regarding the ambush Nie Qi Yun was facing, Chen Yuan didn’t find anything strange. From the letters he had sent back to the Heavenly Patrol Bureau and his previous cautious demeanor, it was evident that

the dangers Nie Qi Yun encountered had far from receded; on the contrary, they had become even more perilous.

But this was exactly what Chen Yuan intended. This time, he had agreed to assist Tao Qingyuan in responding to Nie Qi Yun’s situation, never planning for him to return completely unharmed.

Previously, Chen Yuan was too occupied; his main targets were opportunities, Tang Qian, and Xu Lingtian. A Heavenly Gang Martial Artist did not interest him.

However, that did not mean Chen Yuan would let him off.

Taking revenge for the smallest grievance was Chen Yuan’s character!

Respect shown to me warrants a tenfold return, deceive me in the slightest, and I’ll annihilate your entire lineage; that was Chen Yuan’s motto in the perilous Jianghu.

Nie Qi Yun repeatedly stood against him, his death was nothing to bemoan.

Even previously, when Chen Yuan visited the Lonely Mountain of Qingshui County on a mission, and the leakage of information led to an assassination attempt by Elder Blood Demon, Chen Yuan had some suspicions that it was Nie Qi Yun’s doing.

Although Tao Qingyuan hadn’t explicitly stated it, his words clearly harbored some doubts.

After all, the missions of the Heavenly Patrol Envoys, if not absolutely confidential, certainly weren’t known by the common folk. Just like this mission Nie Qi Yun was on – Chen Yuan had received no news about it at all.

He only learned a bit through the words of Tao Qingyuan.

Watching the confrontation ahead, the corners of Chen Yuan’s mouth slightly curved. The person ambushing Nie Qi Yun was quite capable, forcing Nie Qi Yun to respond somewhat hastily.

His injuries were indeed serious.

“Sir, should we…”

Yan Qing’s eyes gleamed with a bright light. Ever since he had openly expressed his stance alongside Mo Donghe to Chen Yuan, Yan Qing no longer hid his intentions, directly suggesting to take advantage of the situation to kill Nie Qi Yun in front of Chen Yuan.

At this, Chen Yuan waved his hand, signaling him not to rush; if someone else could kill Nie Qi Yun, that would naturally be best. As someone aspiring to climb higher within the Heavenly Patrol Bureau, Chen Yuan did not want any overt infamy attached to him.

Wu Daxiang’s swordsmanship was fierce, aiming directly at Nie Qi Yun’s vital points, and his response was just as dangerous. Although unable to muster Protective Gang Qi, his Heavenly Gang Cultivation was more than enough to handle a Condensing Evil Martial Artist.

After about ten breaths, both parties had acquired numerous injuries; Nie Qi Yun’s body bore several gashes, bleeding profusely.

At that moment, he finally noticed Chen Yuan and Yan Qing not far from him. The surrounding commoners and passersby had long since fled, leaving only those two men. Any sane person could tell something was amiss.

Moreover, he felt that the eyes of the two onlookers bore a hint of mockery.

‘Who are these people?’

Nie Qi Yun racked his brains to identify them, but no matter how hard he tried, he only felt a strange, familiar sensation about them.

Over the years, Nie Qi Yun had made numerous enemies, and these two might just be among them.

Now, Nie Qi Yun truly felt that his luck this time was disastrously poor. Barring unexpected circumstances, this time he probably wouldn’t be able to make it back alive.

“Get lost!”

With a furious roar, Nie Qi Yun exploded into action, sweeping aside the sword in Wu Daxiang’s hand, leaving a deep, bone-visible wound with his sharp Yan Ling Saber.

But at the same time, Wu Daxiang managed to shoot a hidden arrow into Nie Qi Yun’s left eye.

With a beast-like howl, Nie Qi Yun clenched his teeth and pulled the arrow from his eye, which still bore a bright red eyeball.

“Go!”

The only thought in Nie Qi Yun’s mind was to escape.

He must live; he could not die!

If he died, then truly, everything would be lost.

“Sir, Nie Qi Yun is trying to escape.”

Yan Qing, with a flying knife between his fingers, locked his gaze on Nie Qi Yun.

“He won’t escape.”

Chen Yuan smiled dismissively. Now that Nie Qi Yun was truly at his limit, how could he possibly slip by under his watch?

Who permitted it?

With that, Chen Yuan stepped forward, gliding tens of meters through the void, already closing the gap between him and Nie Qi Yun, as a faint voice echoed:

“Nie Qi Yun, King Yan calls for your life.”

Hearing this voice, a chill ran down Nie Qi Yun’s spine. He swiftly looked back and, indeed, it was those two previous onlookers who had made their move.

But…

For some reason, he always felt that voice was eerily familiar.

“Fellow, since we both aim to kill the Nie surname, why not join forces?” Wu Daxiang, clasping his chest wound, called out loudly.

However, the response he got was not words, but a swiftly arriving pitch-black Gang Qi.

“Bang.”

A burst of blood mist rose as Wu Daxiang’s upper body violently exploded.

With no time for useless words, Chen Yuan’s response was a deadly move. Although the reply was a wave of Gang Qi, Chen Yuan inwardly cursed him as useless.

Previously, Chen Yuan had hoped he would kill Nie Qi Yun.

But failing to settle a grievously wounded Nie Qi Yun after so long, and having been slashed by him, necessitated him taking action himself.

To avoid any prolonged delay, lest other complications arose.

Since there were no more bystanders around, killing Nie Qi Yun now and fabricating a few details afterwards would suffice,

“Who are you?”

Nie Qi Yun stared with wide eyes, scrutinizing Chen Yuan’s figure; he was sure he had never seen this face before. However, that vague feeling of familiarity grew even stronger.

“Dead men need not know too much.”

Villains perish from excessive talk; in this scenario, compared to Nie Qi Yun, Chen Yuan indeed seemed somewhat villainous. Of course, the most important aspect was, revealing his true identity to Nie Qi Yun wouldn’t bring that thorough satisfaction.

Thus, after speaking, Chen Yuan raised his palm, gathering a trace of pitch-black Xuan Yin Gang Qi.

“Whoosh!”

Just as Chen Yuan was about to act, a blood arrow abruptly shot from a tree over two hundred meters away, reaching him almost in the blink of an eye.

This blood arrow, radiating a chilling cold Qi, was perhaps the most dangerous situation Chen Yuan had faced since arriving in Nanling Prefecture.

Almost reflexively, Chen Yuan put up his Xuanyuan Protection Gang Qi.

Pale red and profound black Qi circulated around his body.

This was Chen Yuan’s instinctive reaction, as his habit was always to remain vigilant, but that blood arrow was clearly no ordinary arrow.

The moment it encountered the Gang Qi, it effortlessly pierced through and aimed straight for Chen Yuan’s heart.

“Breaking Gang Arrow!”

This thought crossed Chen Yuan’s mind as he saw the Gang Qi dissolve.

Only the legendary Breaking Gang Arrow could pierce a martial artist’s Gang Qi so easily, a major killing move in Jianghu against martial artists below the Core Realm, and each Breaking Gang Arrow was a deadly weapon.

It was inscribed with a killing array, a weapon of war.

It had always been a profound secret of the royal court; Chen Yuan never expected to encounter such a thing!

This killing move was targeted at him. In that moment, Chen Yuan realized this, but fortunately, he was somewhat prepared.

He had long used the Dragon Scale as his Heart Guard Mirror, protecting his chest. Although the Breaking Gang Arrow was powerful, it was not enough to shatter the Dragon Scale.

Nevertheless, Chen Yuan still fell to the ground, pretending to be affected, to see who harbored such hatred against him, intent on a lethal strike without leaving any chance for survival.

This alarmed Nie Qi Yun on the spot.

Yan Qing, meanwhile, was startled, his body breaking out in goosebumps, sensing something wrong. But watching Chen Yuan fall, he did not leave; instead, he rushed toward Chen Yuan with incredible speed.

At the same time, he sent a signal, instructing Yue Shan and others who were following them from afar to come quickly.

The moment he supported Chen Yuan, Yan Qing heard Chen Yuan’s voice:

“Don’t act recklessly for now.”

Hearing this familiar phrase, Yan Qing’s raised heart immediately settled, and his eyes intensely watched a tree in the distance explode, as a figure in a black robe gradually paused mid-air after several touches.

The figure in the black robe did not reveal his true face, his entire body wrapped in the robe.

“It’s you!”

Nie Qi Yun’s pupils shrank, recognizing the familiar figure immediately—the one who had killed his accompanying Heavenly Patrol Guard and inflicted severe injuries on him.

The person Nie Qi Yun most feared and was wary of in his heart was indeed this man, and no one at the scene considered Wu Daxiang a threat.

Wu Daxiang: “Are you guys polite?”

The person in the black robe glanced at Nie Qi Yun, his voice somewhat hoarse:

“Your task is completed, well done, you have lured Chen Yuan out of Nanling Prefecture City.”

“Chen Yuan, it’s Chen Yuan!”

Nie Qi Yun’s eyes were full of shock, and at the same time, a bit of realization dawned on him, the inexplicable familiarity he felt was indeed emanating from Chen Yuan.

He was just a tool after all.

Although very displeased, Nie Qi Yun still managed a smile:

“Since the elder’s purpose has been achieved, I shall take my leave.”

The man in the black robe shook his head:

“Now that you’re here, you might as well stay.”

Saying this, the black robe swished, and a surge of blood-colored Qi instantly shot out. Nie Qi Yun’s back erupted in goosebumps, and he swung his saber to strike, but the Qi was too terrifying,

his Yan Ling Saber instantly shattered, and a small hole appeared on Nie Qi Yun’s neck.

“Boom.”

Nie Qi Yun’s body thunderously hit the ground.

If it were a normal time, he would not have been so easily defeated, but he was already severely injured and had lost an eye. Facing a sudden attack from a Reach Profound expert, there was no possibility of defense.

After dealing with the perceived weakest link, the man in black robe did not lower his guard but turned his interest-filled gaze to Chen Yuan, who was being protected by Yan Qing behind him:

“The Demon Blade would hardly be so weak, stop pretending with these tricks.”

Hearing this, Chen Yuan’s eyes suddenly opened wide, and he leaped up, squinting at the black-robed man in front of him, raising an eyebrow and asking:

“Who are you, sir, and why arrange a trap to kill me?”

“Unscathed?”

Seeing Chen Yuan completely unharmed, the black-robed man was obviously surprised. He had guessed that Chen Yuan was very likely not dead, but he did not expect him to be safe and sound under the long-prepared Breaking Gang Arrow.

The Demon Blade, truly as formidable as its reputation!

“Indeed worthy of being one of the top hundred talents on the Hidden Dragon List, worth the price of three Primordial Crystals,” the black-robed male chuckled sinisterly.

“Primordial Crystals…”

Chen Yuan’s heart trembled; he was naturally familiar with this item, having investigated it before—worth at least ten thousand taels of silver.

No wonder it took that much to hire a Reach Profound expert to take action personally.

“You just need to know that I come from the Seven Killings Hall,” was the reply from the man in black robe.

“Seven Killings without a Trace…”

Chen Yuan nodded, he had heard of the phrase “Seven Killings without a Trace” before and didn’t expect to quickly encounter an assassination from one of the top forces in the world.

The price of three Primordial Crystals, truly pricey.

But only such a price could mobilize an assassin from the Seven Killings Hall.

“I didn’t expect the Seven Killings Hall to go to the trouble of luring me out of Nanling Prefecture to kill me; I thought you dared to act anytime, anywhere,” Chen Yuan gazed at the person in front of him.

“You are mistaken; leading you out was just one option. Actually, I wanted to draw Tao Qingyuan out, which, by acting within Nanling Prefecture, would better demonstrate the power of the Seven Killings Hall,” said the man in the black robe indifferently.

As long as the price is right, there are few in this world they wouldn’t dare to kill.

Of course, Chen Yuan coming out was also acceptable, and even somewhat simpler.

Chen Yuan nodded, then unconsciously activated his Heavenly Eye, observing the man in front of him shimmering with blue light, and inquired:

“Sir, have you heard of the Dragon Roar?”
