Chapter 441-450 (1/2)

Chapter 441: One Punch

The hter was a fan of Chen Xiaobei He never thought that the man himself would help him just because of that!

“That brat is insane! He’s throwing his life away for a fan!”

“Absolutely crazy… We can’t even leave this place if anted to, and he simply walked towards death!”

“That blood descendant monster would never spare him!”

The Jianghu veterans talked as if Chen Xiaobei was an idiot with suicidal tendencies, and even the mustache man doubted his help

“Brother… You are a good man!” He breathed “I really appreciate your help, but don’t die here with me… Run… Run as far as you can…”

His groveling attitude towards Fan Tong aside, the h to tell his rival to escape He knew the hu, in the very least

In the distance, Song Qincheng’s anxiety gauge was bri down on her own lips “Don’t act tough and die there! What should I do with ether with me…”

Moo, she had completely lost her composure when she saw Si Xuanyu She was certain that Chen Xiaobei could never defeat a hu elites around like ragdolls

Ultimately, Chen Xiaobei stayed cold as ice while everyone else lost their minds to fear Each of his step was fir in his tracks

“bastard! Do you know that you walk towards death?” Si Xuanyu glared at Chen Xiaobei haughtily with his cris that were dipped in sanguine Suddenly, he grinned ominously and smacked his lips

“I think I shed “Their blood tastes the best, and I’ve not had so as I could remember!”

Chen Xiaobei’s expression was unfathomable “Too bad then,” he said “You won’t live to taste it ever again!”

“Hrinned “Fine! I shall sink le drop of your blood, and you should be honored to become my snack!”

Thud!

Tossing the ed towards Chen Xiaobei

“shi+t! That brat is going to die!”

“That’s to be expected! He could blame no one other than himself!”

“Don’t talk about him anymore… It will be our turn soon!”

The crowd lamented in despair They believed that they had no chance, and they would simply be next as if it ritten in the stars, and neither would they find out who sent their killer, or why

“Brother… It’s my fault…” The mustache man moaned on his knees

“Xiaobei! Don’t die!” Song Qincheng could not help screa out, her eyes red and teary

What happened afterwards left the in amazement

Pow!

Chen Xiaobei wrecked Si Xuanyu’s face with a single punch The night upwards the sky before landing with one alhty crash that blew a crater on the floor

Blaaaaaaaargh

Critically wounded, Si Xuanyu ejected a streas – a sye – were crushed, and he was unable to get up The agony was so intense that he drifted in and out of consciousness

“…How is that even possible?” The others exclaimed in disbelief

“One punch… He just used one punch to defeat that …”

“That’s saying so, but one punch from Mr Chen and he’s floored!”

“And he’s still young! I almost can’t believe that he is already that powerful – he will definitely be a legend in the future!”

Every single one of those Jianghu elites gaped at Chen Xiaobei They were so certain that he was going to die rees turn

In Jianghu, it was easier to convince your audience with actions rather than words More often than not, a display of poas also the best way to give others a slap in the face

“This boy… So he has such power… Such a bad boy, giving hed in relief, her body liainst a wall

She had prepared herself to die with Chen Xiaobei, but the brat simply turned the tables! The woman cried tear of happiness once more, her despair now replaced with hope!

“Bro… Bro Bei… Mr Chen is the Bro Bei fro the discovery of his life “I’m sure of it, only a person with co and take control the Green Vine City!”

“Bro Bei… He is that Bro Bei! Oh God! We were so blind…”

The other Jianghu elites soon cathover the name of Bro Bei earlier They never knew that the ht in front of them; their faces went red when they recall their mockery

“My fangs… bastard!” Si Xuanyu screamed as he finally became lucid “How dare you crush my teeth – I, who am the noblest of blood descendants! Go to hell!”

“Please, keep bragging I dare you” Chen Xiaobei walked towards the vampire and stepped on his face Si Xuanyu could feel his face spread ainst the cold-hard floor, and soon his skull was stretched to its limits

“Mercy! Mercy please!” The monster started to screa for forgiveness He was sure that Chen Xiaobei would s rubbish, and his life ht then

“Then start talking! Why are you here?” Chen Xiaobei asked coldly

Chapter 442: Golden Dragon Temple

Si Xuanyu trembled

He was at a loss after he heard what Chen Xiaobei asked hie anything that could compromise himself, his mission or the covenant However, he barely had a choice – his skull was at stake, and he had to do it if he wanted to live!

“I- I’ll tell you… I’ll tell you…” His coo, Si Xuanyu was but a blithering blob scared witless as he blurted everything out

“The reward of Sanshi+ Martial Art Contest had attracted the attention of Lord Ye Linlong,” he explained “He needs Spiritual Qi to improve his cultivation as soon as possible, that’s why he had decided to represent Baihe City in the upco competition…”

“What is Ye LinLong’s combat power? Why would he send you here to kill his opponents before the competition? Could he be weaker than you?” Baffled, Chen Xiaobei frowned

“No… No, no! Ye Linlong’s combat power is around nine thousand – he is definitely“Lord Ye Linlong believed that no one is powerful enough to defeat him in all three cities, which hy he sent me here to kill everyone and spare him the fuss! He also wanted to recruit a few e… It’ll be the ultimate show of power!”

Every Cri’s plan to say the least Still, they could not do anything to that va a top-of-the-line jerk

In Jianghu, combat power is absolute – and none of them could have stopped Si Xuanyu if not for Chen Xiaobei Otherwise, elites in three cities would have been severely wounded or turned into Ee They would not have any place to hide their places!

“Bro Bei, how should we go about this? We need your guidance…” someone said, and everyone instantly turned their eyes to Chen Xiaobei He was the only person they could rely on after all

“I really need some Spiritual Qi!” Chen Xiaobei muttered The blood descendant baron whose face was under his feet had a combat power of seven thousand, while the blood descendant viscount he ht face in a few days had a combat power of nine thousand

It would not be an easy fight His own combat poas six thousand and three hundred, which he could increase to eight thousand and four hundred through Pri Even so, he would still struggle against Ye Linlong

Still, he possessed the Blood Chaos Sword Essence which would allow hih it would be a bad idea for him to reveal his trurave danger if the super elites caught sight of the Blood Chaos Sword Essence, which hy the only way to defeat Ye Linlong was through training and Spiritual Qi

“You can only acquire Spiritual Qi at the holy land of Golden Dragon Temple,” the mustached man said “What do you plan to do?”

“I’ to train!” Chen Xiaobei replied said

“Train?” Surprised, the mustached man quickly shook his head “The people from the temple would never allow an outsider like you to enter the holy land, and the competition takes place in two days! Even if you’re permitted to use the holy land, how much could you improve?”

“That’s right! What could you even do in such a short period of tiree with the mustached hu elite would need nificant improvements Two days would not make any difference

However, Chen Xiaobei insisted “To h” He said calmly There was some truth to it too – with the Scripture of Heaven and Earth, two days of training for hi for normal folk

“Cripple this on Teht behind the foot he used to step on Si Xuanyu

“Yes, Sir!” Everyone remained doubtful, but none of them would dare to question his decision now At his order, the mustached man and several others walked towards Si Xuanyu and broke his limbs

Naturally, it pleased them to do so

Chen Xiaobei called for Song Qincheng and Old wang to travel along with thehu folks

The temple was located in the heart of the borders between Cri City, where the cities e drive – the terrain was rather clear too, and they arrived at the temple before sunrise

Song Qincheng and Old wang left to stay at a small town near the foot of the mountain where the temple was built upon because women were not welco a few Jianghu elites behind to watch over them, while the mustached man and two others escorted Si Xuanyu to the top of the mountain with him

“Bro Bei, that’s Golden Dragon Temple!” The mustached man said as he pointed ahead Chen Xiaobei stepped forward to get a better view

Red bricks, yellow roof, green trees, and lush crawlers reflected the temple’s ancient history and sanctity The at one too; it spread tranquility and commanded reverence in equal measure

“Magnificent!” Chen Xiaobei drew a sharp breath, and his entire body quickly felt rejuvenated

“Golden Dragon Te, but the monks never allow outsiders to set foot inside their teht be wasted…” Xuda[1] expressed his concern

Nonetheless, Chen Xiaobei had decided to give it a shot

“Who are you people? Golden Dragon Temple is a place for uards stopped the the temple They were clearly well-trained since they were only dressed in nothing but loincloths in thepoles as weapons, they resembled the famed Luohan

“Good day! I’m the faction leader of Iron Paluards politely “We are not here to intrude – we are in dire need of the temple’s help Please, take a look at this man”

One of the uards It shocked both of theround

“We are truly sorry,” they apologized “However, the Golden Dragon Tes that happen outside the temple Please turn around”

“But…” Xuda was speechless and frustrated Even a faction leader like hion Teh to defeat these two guards Therefore, he simply relented

“Actually, I’m here to look for an old friend of e?” Chen Xiaobei walked towards the monks and showed them a sander bracelet

“This is… Please, wait a moment!” Both monks were shocked; one of them ran inside the temple with the sander bracelet immediately

Whoosh

A huge man dashed out towards Chen Xiaobei at full speed

Translator’s Note:

1 Unidentified person The author mentioned it for the first time in this chapter – he may be the mustached man

Chapter 443: You’re Powerful? I’m More Powerful than You!

The sander bracelet that Chen Xiaobei had handed to theTian had left in his care, while the

They previouslythe charity dinner He was over two meters tall, and the muscles on his body were dense as iron His very presence commands awe

“shi+xiong Yanhong! What are you doing?” The guardian ht by surprise They never expected that to happen

“Yanhong?! The elite ?!” Xuda and the other tere stunned by the mere mention of his name “He’s the monk billed as the one ould solve the Labyrinth of Wooden Duon Temple!”

“He’s quite young, but he is definitely growing in power as he ages He would definitely becoon Temple in the future, or the abbot!”

“shi+t! When did Bro Bei mess with such a powerful man?”

Xuda and the tere beside themselves orry for Chen Xiaobei

Boom!

Yanhong leapt from the doorstep and landed heavily in front of Chen Xiaobei; his bulky body had rose a few meters up in the air!

Whoosh

Without a word, Yanhong ai through the air like a cannonball

The e!

Eight thousand health!

Eight thousand combat power!

The punch was so powerful it h the air, but Chen Xiaobei remained unmoved

He was at the early phase of Qi refining stage, and his combat poas only six thousand and three hundred However, the Body Enhance increased his health to ten thousand, while the Pri raised his coht thousand and three hundred!

His opponent was powerful, but Chen Xiaobei was evento fear!

Pow!

Chen Xiaobei replied Yanhong with a punch of his own! There was no trick to it – all it was is just a simple punch The air around the with Earth, a contest of pure power!

“Ho could this be?!” Yanhong gaped at Chen Xiaobei as his bulky body was forced three paces behind

On the other hand, Chen Xiaobei remained where he was – it was quite obvious that he handled Yanhong’s attack easily

“Oh, my word… Bro Bei is too da the elite monk three steps back!”

“That’s why he rules Green Vine City! I think he could be quite the big shot in Dragon City too!”

“Most iine how ’s age? I think he will definitely reach the True Nirvana Stage in the future!”

Xuda and the two men were in complete awe of Chen Xiaobei; they now looked at him as if he was their God!

Even Si Xuanyu gaped at their joust He always prided himself with his affiliation with the noblest family of blood descendants, and believed that he could destroy anyone easily with his combat power

He never expected to fall from just one punch from Chen Xiaobei, and was further horrified to find that the youth was not even using his full strength The vaht made him even more forlorn than he was before

“A exclaimed, and placed his palm in front of his chest respectfully “Mr Chen, you’re really so! You’re here five years earlier than my Sifu expected!”

‘Five years? I don’t need five years to rescue Murong Tian Everyone is really looking down on ht, but kept quiet

“However, I’h to solve the Labyrinth of Wooden Durave tone

“I’m not here to solve the Labyrinth of Wooden Duestured at the person behind his back

Yanhong’s face was one of pure disgust when he saw Si Xuanyu However, he did not look surprised – it was clear that he had encountered blood descendants before

“Mr Chen, I believe you should talk toturned around and led Chen Xiaobei into the temple Xuda and the other two ave permission

They walked past an aged but plain hallway that trudges into thea private roo This monk was quite short, and his back was hunched He appeared to have been

“Sifu, Mr Chen is here” Yanhong put his palm in front of his chest His words were filled with reverence

“Huh?” The old monk opened his eyes slowly He sether and ht bow

“Good day, reeted him politely in return

The old“So Did you lose to Mr Chen?” He asked with a slight tease in his voice

“I’entleman; he did not twist facts

“Mr Chen, you are truly special! No wonder why Yanfa likes you so much!” The old monk beamed, and his eyes see Tian’s Buddhist na him home?”

“Not yet” Chen Xiaobei shook his head, and went on to tell the elderly man about the vampire

“I see…” The old hed “These mystical creatures of western folklore had invaded our hu here, the countries to the west have their own as well”

“However, we established a truce whereby the religious organizations from the ould not interfere with our affairs overseas, and vice versa That’s e can’t do a thing – it’s a matter that affects national security The consequences would be uni his head

Chen Xiaobei was shocked – he never iree to a treaty of this sort But now that he thought about it, the Golden Dragon Temple did set up a few teo, and had been recruiting disciples actively Things would definitely escalate and quickly spiral into chaos if the treaty was broken!

“You can leave this proble you into this” Chen Xiaobei said bluntly

“However, I need to use the holy land of your temple”

Chapter 444: Master, Please Show Me The Way!

“Mr Chen, I’ the cult and protecting the three cities There’s no reason forin the holy land, but there are only forty plus hours until the Martial Art Competition That means you have around thirty hours left – minus travel time How much could you improve even if you don’t sleep?”

Yanhong nodded in agreement “It’s pointless to train with so little time left I don’t think you could turn the tide, and I’ll be frank – your fight against the blood descendant viscount is virtually suicide!” He added earnestly

Both monks did not believe that Chan Xiaobei could take on Ai Linlong and were insisting that he should not risk his life

Still, they had no idea how the young man trained

“Time is indeed short, but I believe that I can solve the Labyrinth of Wooden Dummies in two days” Chen Xiaobei said cal resolute confidence

What he said was evena viscount, however, because the entire Jianghu knew that the e the Labyrinth of Wooden Dummies was ten thousand combat power!

“That… That’s i exclaihtly abovesaid, you could never raise yourself above ten thousand combat poithin thirty plus hours!”

The old monk shook his head too “Impossible… Siy could do that You’ll need years of training to get to ten thousand combat power, I really don’t believe you can do it in less than two days…”

“I don’t know about the world bestout of ti” Chen Xiaobei smiled humbly

“Alright, if you insist” The old estured for him to follow him

“Sifu! Aren’t we supposed to infor frowned

“I’ll inform him myself later,” the old monk waved him off and left with Chen Xiaobei

The holy land was an area deep in the on Temple It was a forbidden area, and none were allowed to step foot in the place without permission from the abbot

When he arrived, Chen Xiaobei becaua readings, that was the core of the Golden Dragon Mountain where a huge reservoir of Spiritual Qi resided It also appeared to be the work of really incredible individual, who shaped the landscape in order to condense all the Spiritual Qi froon Mountain into this particular spot

“Such concentrated and huge arew excited as if he had suddenly secured entire old and jewelry to his own He remembered to text Xuda and the rest to carry on without him

When that was settled, Chen Xiaobei quickly sat down and activated the Scripture of Heaven and Earth, before absorbing the al flow of Spiritual Qi around hi his Dantian instantly

“That’s my limit!”

Ceasing the absorption process immediately, he started to convert the Spiritual Qi inside his Dantian to True Qi He had to stop because there was limits to one’s Dantian, and his would have exploded if he kept raking it in beyond his limit

Soon, all the Spiritual Qi that he absorbed was channeled throughout his entire body and converted to True Qi

The concentration, th of True Qi would define the combat power of the martial artist Super elites with True Nirvana Phase could even convert True Qi to Kang Qi and hts for the future Right now, he needed to focus on absorbing as much Spiritual Qi as possible and converted them into True Qi

This was his path to the True Nirvana Phase!

Time flew Before Chen Xiaobei knew it, it was already the thirdAs he rose to leave, the Spiritual Qi in the cave began to calm

“Time’s up, but this is exactly what I expected! Phew…” Chen Xiaobei opened his eyes slowly and released a mouthful of white breath

Ding!

[Cultivation: Middle phase of Qi refining stage Health: 11200 Combat power: 7500!]

With this, Chen Xiaobei could boost his co Co He expected this, but he could not stop hi like a child

“If I have a mountain like this to myself that boasts such condense Qi, I could !” Chen Xiaobei thought He gazed longingly at the cave one last ti the place

The oldfor him outside the cave

“Mr Chen! Let’s fight onecalled out as soon as he saw Chen Xiaobei stepping out froer to see his improvement too

“I could hurt you…” Chen Xiaobei smiled “It’s better to have your Sifu spar with me…”

“Arrogant! It’s impossible for you to hurt me even if your cultivation did irily

Beside the huge monk, the old monk frowned – he was not too happy with Chen Xiaobei either ‘As Yanhong said, he’s arrogant I fear that it would hurt his future…’ the old ht

“Eat this!” Yanhong shouted and charged at Chen Xiaobei with his large fist, channeling all eight-thousand combat power behind his punch

“I really don’t want to hurt you…” Chen Xiaobei shrugged, and approached Yanhong confidently He dodged his attack, reached out to grab his hand, and pushed

“Wha-” Yanhong was caught surprised, and suddenly realized that Chen Xiaobei was already er than he was He could not react in tiround like a clu child

“Ouch…” He exclaimed Meanwhile, Chen Xiaobei had already left hi at his Sifu

“Master, please show me the way!” He said

Chapter 445: De, let’s do this!”

Spreading his hands, the oldpose “Come!”

Chen Xiaobei nodded and charged at the old monk with his fist That move was simple, but it carried four thousand pounds of brute force!

Pow!

Chen Xiaobei’s fist landed on the oldthe elderly ed h anyone could tell that Chen Xiaobei’s punch was extremely powerful!

Lowering his hand Chen Xiaobei took three steps back and said hureat I hope that you aren’t offended by my weak effort”

“A too e What you did has exceeded my expectations, and I also believe you have what it takes to move the world!”

Elder Fa Ming placed his palether respectfully as he tried to conceal his shock Chen Xiaobei’s future exploits would rock heaven and earth Just as Murong Tian once told him, the youth would definitely send waves across Jianhu – it was just awas a bit remorseful that he did not think too much about it at the time

Beside the was also amazed by Chen Xiaobei’s improveo, he was only slightly weaker than him, and he could still take a fes froround if he wanted

In approxi was also aware from the bottom of his heart that he would never catch up to the youth ever again It now ht to be!

“Master, there’s so else I want to ask you,” Chen Xiaobei said

“Please, ask away” Elder Fa Ming replied

“Earlier, I heard about this for He would also participate in the martial arts coon Temple could defeat him Do you know more about this man?” Chen Xiaobei asked

“Elder Feng?” Elder Fa Ming and Yanhong looked at each other Then, the olderto the De”

“Deeable on unique individuals in Jianghu, Master Would you happen to knoerful he is?”

Elder Fa Ming nodded “His coht with hi techniques Our battle eventually ended as a draw, and ht want to ask a little more about it!” He smiled

“Twenty thousand?! That’s over the roof!” Chen Xiaobei stood aghast, suddenly realizing that the ht prove perilous He would not stand a chance if Old Man Feng did participate

“Mr Chen, you don’t have worry toohad come across so in action I don’t think he would show up this time”

“Master, thank you so much for your information! I shall do hts for some other time…” Chen Xiaobei’s as hard as steel; he was not shaken by the fact that there was a potential opponent as a lot er than him

“I wish you all the best!” Elder Fa Ming put his palether and smiled

“I’ll definitely defeat all of them, return here and train in the holy land to rescue Uncle Murong!” Chen Xiaobei declared He then nodded his head lightly and left the place

When Chen Xiaobei was out of earshot, Yanhong turned to his master

“Sifu, what should we do if Feng Qingyang really joined theby Mr Chen’s personality, I’ stupid!”

“Mr Chen seems determined, and I don’t think anyone on earth could ever talk him out of it Nevertheless, we shall attend the martial arts competition too – I believe we could aid hi said cal nodded, and followed him inside

Later, Chen Xiaobei rendezvoused with his entourage, before heading to the arena together

It turned out that Song Qincheng had been so distressed about his safety that she could neither eat nor sleep, but she finally broke into a sh to do certain raunchy stuff in the car as they traveled to the arena No one interfered, or even peeked

The others knew that they shared an inti about it Furtherht – he was their hero now, and it was only appropriate to pair a hero with a beauty! Co Qincheng one bit!

Meanwhile, Old wang had grown so thoroughly addicted to Mobile Legends that he did not care about his surroundings in the least Within a few days, the God of Misfortune had leveled up his in-game character to platinus after all; he may not be world cha him anymore

Still, he was having so much fun that Chen Xiaobei started to worry about him

‘When is he going to recruit three ht ‘Would he die if he fails? That bloody Three Realms Mission is definitely a sham – deities who travel to human realm have no power, noor receiving Red Envelopes That Pri his fellow deities to an infernal pit – the whole mission itself was a conspiracy!”

He quickly stopped hihts – he had no power over the situation anyway All he could do was si recruit as ht his own battles

They finally arrived at the designated arena where a stage was erected in the athered around it The seats were segregated according to the three towns: Cri

The representative of each city had their own chairs in front of the crowd, and it see was still the representative for Criht with – stood beside him It seemed like they had truly fallen for each other

Meanwhile, the representatives of Baihe and Zijiang were…

Chapter 446: The cocky Ye Linlong

The representative of Zijiang City was an elderly man with a head full of white hair He allant about hi sabers surrounded him

On the other hand, the representative of Baihe City was a young man with pale skin and extraordinarily dark pupils In contrast to Zijiang’s representative this youngand everyone around him Whether out of fear or respect, ave him a wide berth

“Isn’t that Fan Tong froetic – seeain!”

“He’s useless! Elder Gong, the winner of the previous martial art competition, would definitely defend his title!”

“What’s wrong with Baihe City? Why did they send a kid to fight for the to throw the tournament entirely?”

The crowd chattered way – it was a hu of three cities after all On this day, even ordinary folks would have the chance to witness the ainst other representatives from other cities They would not miss the world for it

“I’ cha announced “While I trust everyone here to be aware of the rules of this competition, I shall repeat them Your life is in the hands of the Gods once you step onstage! There is no recompense for death or injury in the competition, and those who disturb the match shall face my wrath!”

His tone was resolute, his words merciless Silence ensued – it was clear that everyone present eighing his words and taking them to heart

Then, unable to hold it in any longer, Fan Tong spoke not long after Elder Gong’s opening speech

“I have waited way too long for this day!” He declared with a confident smile “I shall clai to become the alliance leader of the three cities today!

Whoosh

Fan Tong sprinted and leapt into the air before landing flawlessly on the stage Lifted his chin, he glared at everyone around the ring

“Alright!”

The spectators were thrilled, and cheered loudly for hiht Skill, was extrest the elites

“Good! It see has iave his co at all

Whoosh

The representative of Baihe City had floated on to the stage like a phantom

“Oh my word! What… What kind of movement skill is that? So weird and spooky!”

The croas buzzing onceman’s movement alone was proof that he was definitely !

“Who… Who are you?” Fan Tong was unnerved; his confidence earlier seemed to have vaporized

“Ye Linlong” The young man muttered his naance; one that which Fan Tong frowned deeply and took iainst
