Chapter 45 American Iai
The sound was so loud that it shook the hearts of all the martial arts masters.
Chen Yuan was holding a broom in one hand, and in his other hand, he had somehow acquired a piece of golden-yellow material.
Meanwhile, Abbess Miejue, who was in mid-air, suddenly leaned her upper body backward, three blood flowers bursting from her forehead and chest, before falling to the ground.
"Uh...ha..."
All of Abbess Miejue's internal energy, techniques, and aura vanished in an instant.
Her face was frozen in utter astonishment and confusion, as if she couldn't comprehend what had happened.
"Demon...weapon..."
Her lips moved, uttering the last two indistinct words, before the light in her eyes quickly faded.
Blood quickly seeped out beneath her, staining a large area of the ground red.
The once-great leader of the Emei Sect died on the spot.
[The host has rewritten the fate of Abbess Miejue and successfully obtained 100 Life Sources]
Dead silence.
Absolute silence enveloped the entire square.
Everyone froze on the spot, their eyes wide open in disbelief as they stared at the corpse of the Emei Sect Leader on the ground.
For the first time, Zhang Sanfeng's usually calm face showed a violent tremor.
His gaze was like lightning, fixed intently on the golden object in Chen Yuan's hand.
With his century-long martial arts cultivation, he was completely unable to understand the principle behind that attack.
There was no fluctuation of internal energy, no movement trajectory, and it was not like a hidden weapon; there was only a loud bang and a flash of fire.
Then... a top-tier expert was instantly deprived of his life.
This was beyond all his understanding of "power"!
"Master...Master?!"
Master Jingxuan and the other Emei disciples stood frozen for several seconds before letting out a heart-wrenching scream.
They tried to pounce, but were pinned to the spot by the terrifying scene and the pervasive aura of death.
The rest of the people, from Abbot Kongwen of Shaolin to the leaders of Huashan and Kongtong sects, as well as the disciples of Wudang, were all terrified.
They were not afraid of advanced martial arts, but the incomprehensible "thing" before them, which could kill instantly, awakened the most primal fear deep within their hearts.
Chen Yuan remained expressionless, blew on the muzzle of his Desert Eagle, twirled the gun, and vanished into thin air the instant he tucked it into his waistband.
He raised his eyes, his gaze calmly sweeping over every horrified face in the room. His voice was not loud, but it clearly drowned out the weeping of the Emei disciples.
"Can you let me speak properly now?"
He glanced at the Abbess Miejue on the ground, then looked at the ashen-faced abbot of Shaolin Temple, and the other sect leaders.
The abbot of Shaolin Temple shifted his gaze to Zhang Sanfeng, hoping he would say something.
Zhang Sanfeng turned his head away, refusing to look at the bald monk.
He's not stupid. It's obvious that they're here to help Wudang. Why should he speak up for these guys from the Five Great Sects?
The abbot of Shaolin Temple's face darkened, and he took a step forward.
"My lord, why have you resorted to killing without a word? What is your intention?"
Chen Yuan: ? ?
He looked the Shaolin abbot up and down as if he were a lunatic.
"Abbot, are you alright?"
"She clearly wanted to kill me, and I was forced to fight back. Isn't that obvious?"
"Am I just supposed to sit here and wait to die?"
"You didn't say a word when she was about to attack, but now that she's dead, you're here to mourn?"
The Shaolin abbot's face turned pale and then red.
Seeing this, Elder Tian, one of the two elders of the Huashan Sect, mustered up his courage and stepped forward.
"What...what exactly was that thing you just saw?"
Chen Yuan couldn't help but laugh when he saw his comical appearance.
"I'm not telling you, why don't you try it yourself?"
As he spoke, the Golden Desert Eagle appeared out of thin air in Chen Yuan's hand.
He raised it and aimed it at Elder Tian.
The moment the Desert Eagle's gun was pointed at him, Elder Tian felt like prey being targeted by a hunter, and goosebumps instantly rose on his skin.
He quickly gave an embarrassed smile and hid behind another elder, Elder Zou.
"Never mind what I said."
Everyone couldn't help but cast disdainful glances at them.
Elder Tian didn't care, since it wasn't the first or second time.
The abbot of Shaolin stepped forward again and snorted coldly.
"You think you can kill us all with what you have?!"
Chen Yuan then performed another spear flourish.
"Why don't you give it a try?"
Elder Tian hid behind Elder Zou and spoke in a muffled voice.
"Give it a try, but your martial arts skills aren't that great."
As they were talking, suddenly there was no one to lean on in front of them.
Then, Chen Yuanzheng looked over with a smile.
Elder Tian felt a pang of panic and gave a dry laugh.
"I suddenly remembered I have soup simmering at home, so I'll have to go now. Until we meet again!"
After saying that, he ran away without looking back.
Members of the five major sects: (¬_¬)凸
Although they didn't dare to go up there, that didn't stop them from despising such behavior.
Seeing that no one was making a move, Chen Yuan put the Golden Desert Eagle into his personal space, threw away his broom, and walked between the Five Great Sects and the Wudang Sect with his hands behind his back.
Elder Tian could tell that his martial arts skills were not high, so other experts could certainly do the same.
You could even say that this kid has almost never practiced martial arts.
Even with the person right in front of them, they dared not move; Abbess Miejue was a cautionary tale!
"Alright, let's get back to the main topic."
Chen Yuanlang said in a loud voice.
"The five major sects have come to Wudang today to find out the whereabouts of Xie Xun, the Golden-Haired Lion King."
"To be precise, it's for that Dragon-Slaying Saber."
"Honestly, I don't understand you guys. Do you think getting the Dragon-Slaying Saber will make you the supreme martial arts master?"
"Don't forget there's also the Heaven-Slaying Sword."
He glanced at the Emei Sect members with a meaningful look.
The members of the Emei Sect dared not speak out against their anger, and could only cast resentful glances at them.
Chen Yuan didn't care. The system had already let him stir up trouble, so it was perfectly normal and reasonable for him to be regarded as a great demon.
"What exactly are you trying to say, benefactor?"
"The abbot of Shaolin Temple said in a deep voice."
"I said, not only do Zhang Wuxia and his wife know Xie Xun's whereabouts, but I do too."
Chen Yuan shrugged.
Why don't you ask me?
"Why drive someone to the point of family ruin and death? Don't you think so?"
These words shocked everyone present.
Before the abbot of Shaolin could speak, the leader of the Kunlun Sect jumped out.
"Is that really true?!"
Zhang Cuishan and his wife exchanged a glance, both seeing surprise in each other.
impossible
Suddenly, a possibility occurred to them.
Could it be that the young hero who saved them is trying to buy time?
If they had thought of it, then naturally someone from the five major factions would have thought of it too.
Ban Shuxian, the wife of the leader of the Kunlun Sect, sneered.
"Who knows if you're telling the truth? What if you just made up a place name to deceive us?"
"If you don't agree, you can come back to me~"
Chen Yuan smiled.
"The Golden Lion King Xie Xun lived in a place called Ice and Fire Island."
"Starting from the Central Plains, we drifted northeast for several months until we reached the far north."
"You will find Xie Xun on the strange island that is shrouded in white mist all year round and has flames shooting into the sky from its top."
"Zhang Wuxia and his wife, am I right?"
After he finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Cuishan and his wife with a smile.
