I Have A Qi Fortune Altar-Chapter 221 - 209 Qi Fortune Finally Here

Chapter 221: Chapter 209 Qi Fortune! Finally Here!

Chapter 221 -209 Qi Fortune! Finally Here!

“The barbarians from the tiny land of Japan dare to provoke the Central Plains. As an imperial Heavenly Patrol Envoy, how could I sit by and do nothing, allowing them to come knocking on our door?”

“The office I hold represents not only myself but also your honor, my lord. Besides, even if I refused, this person would probably block my door according to the rules unless I admit inferiority to him…”

Tao Qingyuan’s voice choked up. He had intended to guide Chen Yuan but instead received a lesson from him. Who was the superior officer after all? However, he did not show it.

Knowing that what Chen Yuan said was also reasonable—since a duel challenge had been delivered—if it wasn’t accepted, then the person would come to provoke, compelling Chen Yuan to admit defeat,

This was the rule that has always prevailed in Jianghu.

“This Yagyu Shinichi is not simple. You must be cautious in your actions…” Calling Chen Yuan over this time was to alert him not to take Yagyu Shinichi lightly just because of his apparent strength and his lower ranking in the Hidden Dragon List.

“Oh… Does this person have some special background?”

Chen Yuan raised his eyebrows and asked in a low voice.

“If you know a bit about Japan, you’d understand. Among the three great families of Japan, the strength of the Yagyu Family is the strongest. Some of the family’s warriors can even rival big sects in the Central Plains. And this Yagyu Shinichi and his brother are called the Yagyu Double Blades, rare talents that come once in a hundred years. Yagyu Shinichi is about the same age as you, in his twenties, and has already broken through to the Heavenly Gang Realm…”

As Tao Qingyuan spoke, he suddenly paused and looked at Chen Yuan:

“Did you agree to this fight because you have already broken through to the Heavenly Gang?”

With a flicker in his eyes, Chen Yuan hesitated for a moment, then nodded:

“Previously in Qingshui County, I felt my cultivation was at its peak, so I drew upon Yang Gang Energy. Fortunately, I succeeded in breaking through.”

At that moment, Chen Yuan no longer concealed the truth. After all, he would have to reveal it when he faced Yagyu Shinichi tomorrow. Concealment had lost all meaning.

It was better to be straightforward about it.

However, after Chen Yuan’s admission, Tao Qingyuan showed no sign of shock, instead he simply said, “As expected.”

When the news of the Blood Demon’s death broke out, many suspected that Chen Yuan had hidden his strength and had already broken through the Heavenly Gang Level, including Tao Qingyuan.

Compared to the Elderly Blood Demon at the peak of the Heavenly Gang Realm who was slain with Condensing Evil cultivation, he would rather believe that Chen Yuan had already broken through earlier but had not shown it until now.

Now having received Chen Yuan’s personal admission, there was nothing surprising about it.

“The Yagyu Family… the brother of Yagyu Shinichi…” Listening to Tao Qingyuan’s briefing, Chen Yuan murmured a few words to himself, as if mulling over something.

“The brother of Yagyu Shinichi is a few years older than him and holds a place among the top fifty in the Hidden Dragon List.”

“So it’s him.”

Chen Yuan already knew there were two Japan Martial Artists among the top fifty of the Hidden Dragon List, but he hadn’t expected one of them to be the brother of Yagyu Shinichi, and now it seemed that Yagyu Shinichi’s background was truly significant.

If he was killed…

“Lord, I have always stated that anyone challenging me must engage in a life-or-death fight. If this person is killed, would there be any issues…” Chen Yuan looked at Tao Qingyuan, seeking his position on the matter.

Killing was definitely the outcome, but to prevent retaliation from higher-level Martial Artists, the government would need to protect him.

As though seeing through Chen Yuan’s thoughts, Tao Qingyuan glanced at him:

“Rest assured, with the government standing behind you, the Yagyu Family won’t dare seek revenge after the fact. Moreover… the barbarians from Japan have an extreme adoration for strength, even to the point of fetishization,

Several hundred years ago, there was a great warrior who had a feud with a Japan Martial Artist. In a fit of rage, he directly attacked the island of Japan, slaughtering tens of thousands, and despite such a grave enmity, these people revered that warrior immensely, even erecting a monument in his honor.”

“It’s because the Japanese have a slavish trait. Nowadays, some people in the Central Plains call them ‘wokou.’ If one day you have the opportunity to subdue these ‘wokou,’

You might also have a part in that monument.”

Tao Qingyuan’s tone was somewhat disdainful at this point.

Slavishness is rooted deep in the hearts of these Japanese people. They dare not resist against true strength, and although they seem to roam the Central Plains, many view them as lacking a true heart of Martial Arts.

Hence, for hundreds of years, Japan has not produced a peerless warrior who has dominated the world.

“I shall indeed strive in that direction,” Chen Yuan said with a laugh, his tone firm. If he ever had the chance, he would truly like to visit Japan.

In his previous life, he had only seen Japanese women in movies, having not yet experienced them firsthand…

Tao Qingyuan laughed heartily, saying he hoped to see that day come.

Then the topic changed, and he began to tell Chen Yuan that his forthcoming duel with Yagyu Shinichi had already spread throughout the entire Nanling Prefecture City. There would undoubtedly be many spectators, so Chen Yuan must be careful in his actions, and at the very least, he must not lose.

Now that he had caught the eye of the higher-ups, if Chen Yuan could maintain his performance, he would surely receive the support from above, and his future would be boundless.

Although the hierarchy within the government was strict, it also selected talents to cultivate with resources, which would likewise become Chen Yuan’s solid backing.

If Chen Yuan received the full cultivation support from the government, what he could gain would definitely be no less than any sect in the world, and his potential would be even higher…

Although Chen Yuan felt that Tao Qingyuan’s words were somewhat boastful, he still solemnly agreed.

He had never thought about failure; since he had agreed to a fight to the death, he was going to follow through. Moreover, based on past experiences, this little Japanese punk from the Yagyu family was likely to possess a considerable Qi Fortune.

Especially after hearing from Tao Qingyuan about the Yagyu Double Blades and the once-in-a-century talent, it only added more credence to the idea of Qi Fortune!

Time swiftly progressed to the following day.

A night of cultivation passed safely; Chen Yuan was unfazed by any calamity, seemingly indifferent to the forthcoming duel, even practicing his swordsmanship as usual in the early morning, followed by having his meal…

While Chen Yuan remained calm, the outside world was starkly different, abuzz with excitement. Since early morning, those with nothing better to do had flocked to the riverside in North City,

quietly waiting for both parties to arrive.

The lively atmosphere did not resemble a deadly duel but rather a friendly sparring match.

When noon came, Chen Yuan glanced at the scorching sun in the sky, knowing that the time was almost near, and then set off to North City with Li Dongshan.

As for Zhao Beishan and the others, they hid in the shadows.

Passersby continually streamed along the road, and upon seeing Chen Yuan, they followed behind him in droves, a procession of at least several hundred people, quite a magnificent sight.

Yue Shan joined the waiting crowd by the roadside, and a number of Heavenly Patrol Guards kept a few yards’ distance around Chen Yuan.

“Chen the Patrol Envoy, take down that Japanese cur!”

Suddenly, someone shouted out loud.

This was followed by a flurry of noisy voices, clamoring that the foreign barbarian must not be allowed to run amok in the Central Plains. To this, Chen Yuan just glanced at the person and nodded silently without changing his expression.

Before long, Chen Yuan arrived at a certain location in North City amidst the throng. The road was truly crowded with spectators. Upon seeing Chen Yuan’s arrival, someone yelled out, “Chen Yuan is here!”

Then, hundreds, perhaps thousands of eyes turned to Chen Yuan, burdening him with a powerful sense of oppression.

Chen Yuan’s gaze was serene as he swept it over the crowd on both sides, his brows slightly furrowing. He truly disliked being the center of attention, but sadly, the struggle between two top one-hundred talents from the Hidden Dragon List was fated not to be peaceful.

Especially with the martial artists and citizens of Nanling River at a loss for entertainment, their interest only heightened.

In places like the East Sea or Blood State where martial arts were even more prevalent, such an event would not have attracted such attention.

Among these people, Chen Yuan saw Shen Yanshu. After nearly a month’s time, she had grown even more graceful, with her maid Xiaoyu appearing quite excited beside her.

Lu Yang and other Heavenly Patrol Envoys, some clad in Black Cloud Clothing, others in plain clothes, were present alongside officials from the government. They exchanged a few glances with Chen Yuan, with Lu Yang even nodding and smiling.

Nie Qi Yun beside him looked sullen, his cold eyes gleaming hostilely. After making eye contact with Chen Yuan for a moment, the corners of his mouth twitched as if he was sneering.

Beyond that, as Chen Yuan looked around, he saw Tao Qingyuan and Tang Qian among others who seemed ready to watch the battle from a high place. When they caught sight of Chen Yuan looking their way, Tang Qian curved his mouth into a smile and nodded at Chen Yuan.

Monk Fa Nan, his white beard fluttering, focused his eyes and ignored Chen Yuan entirely.

Continuing forward, Chen Yuan’s gaze sharpened and he fixed his eyes on a distant figure in the middle of the river, who seemed to be leaning on a sword, waiting for his arrival.

“Brother Chen.”

As the host of the duel at the Ascending Immortal Tower, Ye Chenbai could not be absent. Upon seeing Chen Yuan arriving, he nodded and pointed him towards a small boat prepared on the side.

The battle on Yunjiang obviously required a solid footing.

“The life and death contract for the duel, where is it?”

Although this was Chen Yuan’s home ground, he still asked this question. Ye Chenbai seemed to have anticipated this and waved his hand for someone to bring out a white cloth.

It was inscribed with phrases like life and death be not debated… and also bore the name of Yagyu Shinya. Chen Yuan, undisturbed, grabbed a pen and signed his name. It was a fight to the death; there could be no changing of minds midway through.

Then, Chen Yuan leaped powerfully, landed smoothly on the small boat like a swallow flying through the clouds, and with a single motion, a faint red Mystic Yang Gang Qi burst forth from his body, propelling him forward.

The direct revelation of his Heavenly Gang Cultivation caused a stir among the surrounding crowd, prompting Tang Qian to frown slightly, ever more convinced that this man should not be spared, while Shi Yunlong also appeared astonished in his gaze.

Fa Nan remained expressionless, his feelings inscrutable, but it was presumable he was not pleased, as it was because of Chen Yuan that he had been confined for some time.

Nie Qi Yun’s complexion darkened, a mix of disbelief and anger in his eyes as his chest rose and fell sharply. Lu Yang by his side even praised Chen Yuan, calling him a true prodigy, drawing sidelong glances.

Only Ye Chenbai showed no surprise, as if he had long anticipated Chen Yuan’s cultivation level.

Steering the small boat closer to that lone figure, Chen Yuan then opened his Heavenly Eye, and his heart relaxed instantly. As expected, the opponent carried a Qi Fortune,

making his personal engagement in the battle all the more worthwhile!
