Chapter 283: A Magnificent World, Who Can Determine the Fate of the Universe?

"Hahahaha!" Zhao Tian laughed loudly:

"You lot, are the commoners terrifying?"

He was asking.

No one answered.

They dared not.

"You do not need to be afraid!" Zhao Tian's expression calmed down:

"My Great Xia General Star slays ancient divine beasts and destroys injustice; what is it for?

I act as the General Star; what is it for?

You do not need to be afraid. The General Star is still here, Great Xia is still here, it has not yet fallen, and there are injustices.

Speak!"

He waved a single hand.

Those who confessed were all tossed high into the air.

Roar!

Blood-colored energy condensed.

A giant blood-colored dragon soared into the sky above the Heaven-Hammer Boxing Match.

The blood dragon opened its maw, roaring incessantly.

One body after another was swallowed into its belly.

There were no screams; there was no time to struggle.

"You lot have no regard for the law of the land; seeing the nation on the verge of collapse, you do not think to save it, but instead all want a share of the spoils."

"Are you worthy?"

"Can my Great Xia General Star be bullied?"

Zhao Tian spoke, stretched out his large hand, and the blood dragon shrank, entering his sleeve.

Killed them all.

All who confessed were killed!

It was as if these people had never appeared at all.

The surroundings were silent.

Walking to the entrance of the corridor, Chen Yan's body froze; he looked in the direction of Zhao Tian.

Their eyes met.

"Hahahaha!!!"

Zhao Tian laughed loudly.

He did not speak, yet a sound transmission struck.

"I know you are tired, we are all tired, everyone is tired; do not lose heart."

Chen Yan's expression changed slightly; he turned around and bowed to that person.

Zhao Tian's eyes shone brilliantly, then instantly turned cold:

"Zhang Ting!"

"Zhang Ting is here." Zhang Ting bowed.

"Do you know your mistake!"

Zhao Tian shouted in a low voice.

"Zhang Ting knows his mistake."

Zhang Ting's expression was calm; not a trace of emotion ever surfaced.

Cold light appeared in Zhao Tian's eyes.

Zhang Ting...

Zhang Ting was the most difficult existence to deal with in Qinzhou nowadays.

Even more difficult to deal with than Chen Changyuan.

What exactly did this person want to do?

Chen Yan walked into his own lounge.

Mediation, struggle, deceit and treachery...

He did not like these things.

It was just that, sometimes, he had no choice but to participate.

But in his heart, he still felt that killing them directly was much simpler.

Therefore, he was disappointed in Great Xia.

Disappointed in the Military Guard.

And even, in truth, disappointed in Shen Yiwei.

But these existences were all helping him grow.

Even if he was disappointed, he would not say anything.

Today, it was truly due to his emotions; he could no longer maintain his usual decorum.

No longer using his will to maintain his posture, Chen Yan's gait became somewhat shaky.

He sat on the sofa, gasping in cold air.

Soon, a knock on the door sounded.

Wen Xin appeared; wearing a mask, she was very calm, at least as long as she was in the corridor where outsiders were present, she was extremely calm.

Chen Yan closed the door and reached out to stroke Chen Yu's head.

"Brother..."

A sobbing voice rang out; Chen Yu was trembling all over, and bean-sized tears flowed from beneath her mask.

They dripped onto her lapels, and they dripped onto the floor.

She wanted to hug Chen Yan, but seeing the wounds of all sizes all over his body, she didn't dare to hold him tight at all.

Although many people were still watching where Chen Yan was, she still came.

This was her brother.

"The Aristocratic Family Alliance all deserve to die, they all deserve to die..."

Chen Yu said, her voice choked with sobs, filled with hatred.

She had thought that once her older brother became a General Star, the bad luck belonging to their family would leave.

However, it did not.

Chen Changyuan was still alive, and the Aristocratic Family Alliance was still there.

This vast Great Xia Imperial Clan...

also disappointed her.

Even though Zhao Tian was decisive in killing, her brother was still injured.

To outsiders, a Third-Rank General Star was infinitely glorious.

But Chen Yu, looking at her brother's injuries, felt heartbroken.

If Chen Yuhu knew, he would definitely be furious.

Chen Yu was extremely sad, and also filled with anger.

Chen Yan's gaze was gentle as he touched his younger sister's head:

"Martial artists of the Hardened Body path have powerful physical bodies; the process of tempering the body is to constantly destroy the body and then restore it.

These minor injuries will heal slowly."

Chen Yan was not exactly comforting her.

It was indeed so.

Even for a martial artist of the Blood Qi path, Zhan Yu had been injured that heavily and still hadn't died.

The Hardened Body path was even harder to kill.

In today's battle, the combat power of Chen Yan's Hardened Body path could be considered to have been pushed to the extreme.

If not for the injuries, he could actually have continued to charge forward.

Moreover, the power of Ice Intent had not yet been used.

"Brother, I have medicine here."

Chen Yu kept searching her space ring and quickly took out two Earth-Vein grade healing treasures.

"It's useless," Chen Yan said.

Chen Yu's eyes were resentful as she took out a few pills and stuffed them directly into Chen Yan's mouth.

Immediately, a clear stream melted within Chen Yan's body.

Chen Yan could feel the damaged parts of his body being wrapped by this medicinal power, slowly nourishing them.

But the speed of the nourishment was very slow.

His physical body was too powerful.

Earth-Vein grade treasures had some effect.

But to completely heal Chen Yan, he would likely need to nurse his injuries for a month.

If that were the case, it would be better for Chen Yan to use 【Heaven Patrol】.

The Hardened Body Breathing Technique was all about tempering the body and then repairing the body.

In fact, they all had restorative effects.

It was just that they weren't very large.

He himself hadn't prepared any healing treasures.

"Lie on the sofa; this medicine needs to be applied externally."

Chen Yu spoke, taking out a pitch-black medicine bottle.

Chen Yan frowned:

"I'll do it myself."

Chen Yu pursed her lips, looking up at Chen Yan with a gloomy expression, just about to speak.

Knock, knock, knock.

The sound of knocking on the door rang out.

Chen Yan smiled gently:

"Xiaoyu, you go out first; I still have some matters here."

Chen Yu pouted, quite dissatisfied.

"It's really an important matter," Chen Yan said, his eyes becoming complex as he looked at his younger sister:

"Wait for me a moment; I still have something to tell you."

Chen Yan looked at his younger sister and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

His sister was still young, but she was no longer the little girl from Qingshan Town.

She had a master, seemingly a very powerful master.

Xia Hanzhou had also promised him to provide protection for his family.

But there are some things that the younger sister's master cannot teach, and cannot make her learn.

There are some things, some principles, that Chen Yan knows.

They know them too, but they would consider them a joke.

Yet these jokes are the most important things.

The things that must never be discarded.

Chen Yan placed the rabbit mask onto Chen Yu's head.

Chen Yu stifled her sobbing and returned to calm; she looked with reluctance at her older brother sitting on the sofa.

Covered in wounds, yet very resolute, pressing forward without fear.

His slender frame did not appear sturdy, but he stood like a deep pool or a towering mountain, as if he were propping up the entire ceiling.

She giggled.

"Brother, you are truly amazing," Chen Yu said, opening the room door.

Outside the door, Chi Lao, who had changed into the Fire Deacon attire at some unknown time, was standing there.

He looked at Chen Yu with surprise.

Wen Xin?

If Chi Lao remembered correctly, Wen Xin was an old rival of Bing Yi.

How...

Do these two know each other?

Chi Lao walked into the room, glanced at Chen Yan, waved one hand, and tossed out a jade box.

Chen Yan caught it, and even through the box, he could feel an aura that made both body and mind feel pleasant.

"Don't refuse; it was exchanged with the points from your challenge battle today."

Chi Lao spoke:

"I exchanged it for you privately; it is a Grade B Blue Vault-tier healing spirit medicine."

Chen Yan nodded:

"Many thanks."

Chi Lao waved his hand:

"You only come to find me when you truly have something to do; if you have nothing, you don't come to find me."

He felt somewhat speechless.

In his heart, he actually felt that this was for the best.

Straightforward.

Everyone needs time.

It was just that Chi Lao hadn't expected that every time Chen Yan came, something would happen.

With things turning out like this today, will tomorrow's ticket be affected?

As Chi Lao pondered, Chen Yan had already swallowed the spirit medicine into his belly.

He sat cross-legged right there on the sofa stained with blood, beginning to heal his wounds.

Sss, sss, sss...

The sound of flames scorching his body rang out.

This was the spirit medicine eliminating the damaged flesh and blood within Chen Yan's body.

Chi Lao felt a toothache just watching.

Being wounded is painful, but healing is even more painful.

How is it that this kid has kept a straight face the whole time?

He sat to the side, manifesting his Qi and blood to isolate the scent coming from Chen Yan, and said:

"I saw Shen Keqing a few days ago."

Chi Lao spoke.

Chen Yan nodded.

It was Chi Lao who had first told him the news regarding Shen Keqing.

Chen Yan guessed that the relationship between Chi Lao and Chi Mi must be very close.

Chi Lao gave a faint smile; it is always convenient to talk to a smart person:

"The reason I am in Yunmeng City is actually for the sake of Shen Yiwei; after Lu Xunyang left, I could be considered to be looking after him here in Yunmeng.

Of course, Shen Yiwei might have guessed it, but I won't admit it, that's all."

A trace of disappointment appeared in Chi Lao's eyes:

"Shen Yiwei is too disappointing; Chen Changyuan's three sword strikes severed his cultivation, and also severed the person he was.

Sometimes, I even feel that what Zhang Ting did was quite right."

Chen Yan was somewhat surprised; he did not know why Chi Lao would bring up Shen Yiwei.

Yet he saw Chi Lao speaking to himself:

"You might have many emotions in your heart; that's correct, many people have such emotions.

Throughout Qinzhou, after Lu Xunyang left, many places fell into chaos, and many people's hearts fell into chaos as well.

The current ruler of the Xia Clan has great ambitions and wants to overhaul everything, but the wheel of the era is not something one person can stop just because they want to."

Chi Lao shook his head, as if he had thought of many things:

"You might still be wondering why, when things have become like this, the Xia Clan has not made a move?"

Chen Yan was silent; he had such a question in his heart.

His disappointment in the Xia Clan also stemmed from this.

"The Xia Clan is like duckweed floating on the water; even that young ruler does not dare to move it.

Once it is moved, everything around it must move; whether it will float or sink, no one knows."

Chen Yan frowned.

Suddenly, a voice sounded in his heart.

In this magnificent, vast world, who can determine the fate of the universe?
