Chapter 136: The Heart of Breaking Limits

~11 min read 2,013 words

In an instant, a murderous intent erupted within the Senlin.

"If you had just stayed a steady official and then steadily rolled away, I would have played along with you properly."

Shen Yiwei's voice became incomparably indifferent:

"But right now, you have truly acted far too disgustingly, which makes me have to recall those even more disgusting things you did in the past."

Buzz!

A terrifying Sword Intent pressed down.

The bodies of the Old Chief and the Long-haired Youth froze in place instantly.

"Shen Yiwei, you are acting recklessly! If you kill me, the Aristocratic Family Alliance...!!!"

The Old Chief roared out with an extremely pained expression.

"Interesting...!"

Blood traces burst out all over the Long-haired Youth's body, and blood spurted out like long arrows:

"I never imagined, never imagined that I, Yu Saixian, would die like this. Shen Yiwei, bullying the young with your strength, I look down on you!!!"

The Long-haired Youth placed one hand over his eyes and looked at Shen Yiwei and Chen Yan while laughing wildly:

"I, Yu Saixian, am a Limit-Breaking Awakening user; at the very least... give me an elegant way to die!"

His smile gradually faded, and though his whole body was splattered with blood, he became extremely calm.

He just sat down cross-legged like that, letting his death approach, and swept a faint glance at Chen Yan.

I kill you, and it is by my own ability that I kill you.

Yet you have to rely on others to fight for your own safety; are you willing?

A Limit-Breaking Awakening user must break their own Limit.

If you win against me like this, your Po Xian Heart will also be ruined.

"Hahahaha!"

Thinking of this, the youth named Yu Saixian laughed out loud, his skin and flesh being torn apart by the Dripping Sword Intent.

Compared to Yu Saixian, the Old Chief on the other side was howling incessantly.

"Shen Yiwei, if you kill me, the Aristocratic Family Alliance will definitely come!"

"Could it be... could it be that you really want to follow in the footsteps of Lu Xunyang!?"

Shen Yiwei's expression sank.

With a swish, a drop of Sword Intent instantly pierced through the Old Chief's belly.

"My Master's name—are you worthy of mentioning it?"

The Old Chief opened his mouth wide:

"If you kill me, you will never know the method to save him! I... I know!"

"I don't believe you." Shen Yiwei spoke indifferently.

"I know!!!" The Old Chief roared:

"I know which direction of the Ancient God Forbidden Zone your Master is in!"

Shen Yiwei's expression changed slightly, but the speed of his hand did not decrease.

"Forget it."

To the side, Chen Yan spoke up and bowed to Shen Yiwei:

"Chen Yan thanks Vice Chief Shen for taking action, but my own Awakening should not end like this!"

Shen Yiwei's expression changed slightly as he looked at Chen Yan.

Chen Yan, however, slowly shook his head.

Shen Yiwei wanted to kill Yu Saixian.

He likely felt in his heart that he, Chen Yan, would be unable to defeat Yu Saixian in the future, so he wanted to strike first.

But this should not be something Shen Yiwei would do.

Shen Yiwei possessed a Red Heart, and Yu Saixian clearly wanted to duel Chen Yan.

Fighting with one's brain is also a fight.

Striking in secret—the one who broke the rules was the Old Chief, not Yu Saixian.

If he killed Yu Saixian, Shen Yiwei himself would likely live in regret.

Furthermore.

Shen Yiwei had been his mentor and guide all along.

Lu Xunyang had been his teacher all along.

Now that Chen Yan knew this teacher was in grave danger, and this mentor was about to give up the chance to save the teacher because of him.

This was truly something Chen Yan did not want to see.

Shen Yiwei stopped his hand, and the Old Chief collapsed on the ground, covered in blood.

In terms of bearing, he didn't even compare to Yu Saixian, who had remained calmly sitting cross-legged.

"Bing Yi, you..." Shen Yiwei said in a low voice.

His heart also felt a sense of relief.

If Chen Yan had truly just watched him kill the two of them, he would have felt some Disappointment instead.

He hoped Chen Yan could be safe, but this did not conflict with his Disappointment.

In his heart, Chen Yan should be like his Master.

One person suppressing all.

Suppressing with will, suppressing with combat power, suppressing with style.

Instead of sitting here watching myself make a move, seeking to survive.

"Vice Chief Shen, I, Bing Yi, do not need any title of Broken Limit Awakener; I do not need others, I do not need the recognition of the Ancient God.

Once I accept it, I am in some aspect becoming a slave to these burdens."

Chen Yan's expression was extremely calm:

"My own affairs, I wish to resolve them myself."

Shen Yiwei was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile:

"I understand."

In the distance, the Old Chief was vomiting blood in large mouthfuls.

That blood-covered Yu Saixian, however, slowly opened his eyes, and when he looked at Chen Yan, there was a trace of strangeness:

"Bing Yi, if you do not kill me today, tomorrow I will have the opportunity to kill you."

"Yu Saixian, shut your mouth!!!" the Old Chief roared.

Yet Yu Saixian's expression remained indifferent:

"Heaven and Earth are unfair, the Dao is heartless; we were not originally enemies, but now we have become enemies.

What you did today, I understand; you do not want to destroy your own Po Xian Heart.

But you underestimate me; if I do not die, you will surely lose!"

Chen Yan frowned slightly and looked at Shen Yiwei:

"Vice Chief Shen, you had better kill him; just leave the Old Chief alive."

Silence.

Yu Saixian instantly shut his mouth.

"Yu Saixian, your name is Yu Saixian, right." Chen Yan spoke indifferently:

"You are also a Broken Limit Awakener, yet you cannot understand the true meaning of breaking the limit; you truly disappoint me."

Yu Saixian's expression tightened slightly.

"You not only disappoint me, you even make me feel pity."

The Black-Clothed Youth stood there just like that, riding the moonlight:

"You yourself want to break the limit, but your heart has already automatically walked into the blockade of Heaven and Earth and the Ancient God, breaking the limit according to their regulations."

This is a Puppet.

This is not breaking the limit.

Yu Saixian was silent, his expression beginning to change.

Chen Yan turned and left, but in his mind, Shen Yiwei's telepathic message rang out:

"I haven't finished dealing with things here yet; you go to Yixian City in my stead first, I will handle your affairs, and you handle what I should have handled."

Chen Yan nodded, but behind him, Yu Saixian's voice rose.

"I, Yu Saixian, swear to Heaven and Earth: when I seize Ice Intent's Hibernation, I will not kill Bing Yi!"

Chen Yan ignored him.

Yu Saixian spoke again:

"Bing Yi, the Tianjiao Trial is when you will fall by my hand!"

"You certainly know how to Dream." Chen Yan's voice rang out, and his figure had already disappeared.

…………

At the foot of Qingshan, behind the electric fence.

"You have certainly become more and more formidable lately."

Seeing Chen Yan arrive, Si Wenyi chuckled:

"Those people from Dark Soul, we will secretly bring them into the Military Guard; when the time comes, everything will be brought to light."

Chen Yan nodded and looked at that two-story building which had been destroyed beyond recognition.

The Military Guard were currently drugging the members of Dark Soul until they were completely unconscious, then sealing them in coffin-like Iron Boxes and sending them into military vehicles.

"All this time, I have troubled you all." Chen Yan said.

"You are wrong, Chen Yan." Si Wenyi said softly:

"Do not deny your own value; you also killed Ancient Beasts, and you also killed Ancient Divine Beasts.

Have you ever thought that what you have done is even more than what we have done for you?"

Si Wenyi's smile was like a flower, and seeing the expression of the Youth named Chen Yan relax, she felt even more gratified.

I am truly afraid of you putting all the pressure on yourself day after day.

Watching it, I feel very uncomfortable.

Si Wenyi took a Lunchbox out of the backpack behind her and brushed back her hair:

"Sister Xu Di asked me to pass this to you; she made the meal herself, if you are hungry, you can heat it up a little."

"Alright."

Chen Yan nodded, then turned and left.

Behind him, Si Wenyi sighed softly and glanced at her watch.

It was already three-thirty in the morning.

…………

At the same time.

Yixian City, the southernmost point.

Boom, boom, boom, boom!

The sounds of gunfire, beast roars, and shouts were woven together.

Humans were killing Ancient Beasts, and Ancient Beasts were killing humans.

Swarms of Ancient Beasts surged madly into the hail of bullets.

Even though the army now held a crushing advantage over the Ancient Beasts, all the Military Officers still looked strained.

In the air, that thick Malice was constantly radiating.

Li Liangui, whose left-hand injury had just scabbed over, leaped through the forest and shattered the body of a first-rank Ancient Beast with one foot.

The next moment, he looked at the Military Officers beside him and roared:

"First-rank ones, all of you, retreat!"

"Machine gun squad, retreat!"

Li Liangui was covered in blood, his Pupil color ferocious.

Even for him, feeling the Malice in the air from ten kilometers away caused intense discomfort.

Not to mention these weak Military Officers.

Only third-rank martial artists like Liu Hua, or geniuses with strong willpower like Shen Youning, could get close to that side.

At the same time.

A blood-covered figure suddenly approached, and Li Liangui was slightly startled.

It was Song Yinchen from Yixian City.

"Team Captain Li, what about the news of Chen Yan?!"

Song Yinchen spoke with difficulty.

"The news just received is that Chen Yan is injured and is at the base camp," Li Liangui said.

"Injured..." Song Yinchen's expression trembled:

"Can you have him come over?"

"No!" Li Liangui roared, striking down an Ancient Beast that flew toward them:

"Chen Yan is injured!"

Song Yinchen looked dazed:

"He isn't injured; I didn't see him injured. Even Minister Lu finds it hard to approach that Ancient Divine Beast."

Li Liangui's Mu Guang flashed, extremely astonished:

"Isn't Lu Mingxuan's father in the Origin Realm?"

Song Yinchen slowly shook his head; having great strength does not mean having great willpower.

That Ancient Divine Beast about to ascend to the fourth rank is just like that.

More importantly, there is a Malice Crystal there!

"What about Lu Mingxuan!?" Li Liangui spoke again.

"He is still trying..." A look of difficulty appeared in Song Yinchen's eyes.

"If even Lu Mingxuan can't do it, you're looking for Chen Yan?" Li Liangui was extremely surprised.

Song Yinchen shook his head, blood dripping along his jaw.

"He should be able to..."

"How did he get injured..."

……………

North of Yunmeng City, where the Military Guard base camp is located.

High in the air, Chi Lao stood above the void.

He perceived the movements coming from the Camp below.

"It seems Shen Yiwei is indeed fishing."

Chi Lao sighed softly; the Youth named Chen Yan inside the tent was currently in a state of restlessness.

There was a bandage wrapped around his stomach, and he looked toward the Curtain from time to time.

How could Chi Lao not see it?

This 'Chen Yan' was sitting in the Camp, worrying about things outside the Camp.

In all likelihood, he already knew about his impending assassination.

Chi Lao sighed:

"His strength is fine, but this temperament..."

His temperament is a bit too poor.

He looks calm, but in reality, he probably has ten thousand thoughts in his mind every second.
