Chapter 415: Didn't you see I was eating? Would it kill you to wait a moment?

Time passed slowly.

That night.

King Xiachen finished his communication with Lu Ming'an and sat comfortably in his chair.

"Good, good, good!"

A trace of a smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.

The Lu family agreed to help him return to Jin Province, but everything must wait until Lu Fusang reaches the First Rank of General.

King Xiachen stood up and pushed open the door, only to see Ye Chen, the Minister of Military Defense of Wushi City, standing outside.

"How did it go?"

King Xiachen asked.

He had asked Ye Chen to privately contact the Ministers of Military Defense of Laoshi City, Yunmeng City, Yixian City, and Tie Province.

He wanted them to withdraw their troops!

He was worried that if Lu Fusang killed Chen Yan, these people would directly lead their armies to attack.

Then this matter would be impossible to settle.

Most crucially, there was also Qu Youwu.

This person had actually brought a portion of the high-level officials of the Tie Province Military Defense.

Among them, there were quite a few Sixth Ranks!

"They are all lunatics, every one of them!" Ye Chen growled:

"They have truly gone mad, especially that Cang Zhuo from Laoshi City; he wants a life-or-death battle with me!"

Ye Chen's face was somewhat pale; he was only a Fifth Rank, how could he fight a Sixth Rank?

These people were actually determined to stand firmly behind Chen Yan.

King Xiachen frowned, then immediately went to the door of the cultivation room prepared specifically for Lu Fusang and knocked.

Lu Fusang opened the door, his body still covered in streaks of blood.

King Xiachen was slightly stunned—a cultivation maniac!

Immediately, his smile became radiant; Lu Fusang was not arrogant.

He had not slacked off just because Chen Yan was only a Fourth Rank.

This was very good.

King Xiachen felt very reassured.

He could not see any point where Lu Fusang could lose.

Except...

The path of willpower.

King Xiachen narrowed his eyes, then took out a jade tablet, its interior engraved with dense text:

"This is the rubbing jade tablet of the Brilliance-Condensing Style; your progress is too slow just by listening to lectures on the Dao."

Lu Fusang's eyes flashed.

King Xiachen had long possessed this rubbing jade tablet, but only brought it out now; it seemed he was truly and sincerely helping him.

Lu Fusang slowly extended his hand, and the next moment, a jade-white light appeared between his fingers, and a sense of penetration emerged.

King Xiachen's eyes flashed, and he said in utter disbelief:

"You have entered the threshold?!"

"Mm." Lu Fusang smiled faintly:

"I am worried about being defeated by Chen Yan. Chen Yan has indeed given me unprecedented motivation; if not for him, I could not have entered the threshold so quickly!"

A flash of scarlet appeared in Lu Fusang's eyes.

Everything he said was true.

He truly did not underestimate Chen Yan, so he worried he would die, and thus he cultivated, pondered, and broke through limits with his life on the line!

For these past few days, he had been trying his hardest to become stronger!

The one he was to battle was an outrageous monster who had condensed two hundred and twenty-four Extreme Satin Patterns!

Chen Yan was not a Fourth Rank!

He was an ultimate prodigy who had surpassed the limits!

King Xiachen raised his eyebrows; could this be the true side of Lu Fusang?

He handed the rubbing jade tablet of the 【Brilliance-Condensing Style】 to Lu Fusang and smiled instantly:

"You are very good; everyone has underestimated you!

They have already thought enough about your strength, but they still underestimated you!"

King Xiachen was extremely satisfied!

Even he had thought Lu Fusang would take down Chen Yan very smoothly, yet Lu Fusang was still this serious.

How could such a serious prodigy lose?

"Hahahaha!!!" King Xiachen laughed out loud:

"I really didn't choose wrong!"

He turned and left:

"Cultivate well, rest assured and go slaughter that Chen clansman; as for what happens after, I will handle it!"

At the door of the cultivation room, Lu Fusang took a deep breath:

"Chen Yan, I could have used thirty percent of my effort to kill you, but I will use two hundred percent of my effort to deal with you; how can you defeat me?"

King Xiachen left, satisfied.

His figure flickered, appearing within the Martial Suppression Bureau.

"Greetings, King Xiachen!" Zhang Ting saluted.

"Zhang Ting, you are the highest-ranking official in Qinzhou, why have you not dared to show your face these past few days?" King Xiachen spoke indifferently:

"The day after tomorrow, once Chen Yan is dead, I hope you can lead the Martial Suppression Bureau to suppress the Military Martial Guard and prevent riots!"

Zhang Ting saluted:

"Yes."

King Xiachen's eyes were indifferent:

"If this matter is done well, you will no longer be the Acting Chief, but the Chief!"

Zhang Ting saluted again.

King Xiachen vanished.

Zhang Ting stood alone in the office of the Martial Suppression Bureau, empty and desolate, his expression lonely.

It was also at this moment.

A light screen emerged, within which appeared the figure of Xia Hanzhou.

Zhang Ting did not salute, but looked at Xia Hanzhou indifferently:

"Xia Hanzhou, do you know that I watched the child Shi Ziqin grow up from a young age, and now she is dead, dead at the hands of Chen Yan."

Xia Hanzhou's expression was complex:

"Zhang Ting, you are..."

"You beast!" Zhang Ting roared lowly:

"I don't blame Chen Yan, I don't blame that child Ziqin for being wrong, I only blame you Xia clan members, you are all a bunch of spineless beasts!

I said long ago, I wanted to go to the Ancient God Forbidden Land, I didn't want to be any Acting Chief, and what was the result?

What was the result?!"

Xia Hanzhou's expression turned cold:

"Watch your language!"

"Watch your mother's language, Xia Hanzhou, I've had enough!" Zhang Ting's eyes turned bloodshot:

"If my master returns, you will definitely be beaten into a cripple!"

Xia Hanzhou's expression trembled:

"Everything is for the sake of ambushing that person; as long as we get past this, everything will get better."

As Xia Hanzhou's voice fell, Zhang Ting laughed instead:

"Hahahahaha!!!"

Xia Hanzhou's face was livid; he had always suspected that he had done the wrong thing.

But Zhang Ting had done very well, very well; by now, that person should have no more scruples.

It was just that Zhang Ting was miserable, truly miserable.

"Sooner or later I will kill Chen Yan, I will kill him sooner or later!"

Zhang Ting roared; he admired Chen Yan and praised Chen Yan.

But after Chen Yan killed Shi Ziqin, everything changed.

"Zhang Ting, this is your own problem!" Xia Hanzhou's expression was cold to the extreme:

"It was Shi Ziqin who wanted to harm Chen Yan; you should never have let Shi Ziqin enter the College Entrance Examination Secret Realm from the very beginning."

"Is it my own problem?" Zhang Ting murmured, endless pain appearing in his eyes.

Is it my own problem?

"If I had known, if I had known..." he said with difficulty, speaking in the office where he was alone, words that only he could hear.

…………

Thunder-Striking Treasure Land.

King Xiachen looked down at the massive cavern below where the thunder pillar was born, and the next moment he entered it alone.

It was also at this moment that an old woman dressed in gray appeared.

The Siming Old Woman spoke:

"King Xiachen, don't mess around; if you ruin the Thunder-Striking Treasure Land, it will be a big problem."

"Little Siming, you really are here." A trace of a smile appeared at the corner of King Xiachen's mouth.

He had always thought that the birth of the Thunder-Striking Treasure Land must require the arrival of high-level members from within the Xia clan.

Now it seemed that since Little Siming was here, the importance of the Thunder-Striking Treasure Land might be even greater than he had imagined.

"Little Siming, the day after tomorrow, Lu Fusan and Chen Yan will have a life-and-death battle." King Xiachen said.

The Siming Old Woman frowned:

"Don't tell me these things; I only manage the Thunder-Striking Treasure Land, I cannot manage the affairs of young people."

King Xiachen quickly said:

"You can't manage the internal strife of the Xia clan either?"

"How could there be internal strife in the Xia clan?" The Siming Old Woman frowned.

"Once Chen Yan dies, the Military Martial will surely take drastic action and there will be internal strife; your strength is strong enough, help me suppress the Military Martial together!"

Siming's expression sank:

"You want to use Lu Fusan to return to Jinzhou that much? I advise you, Jinzhou will be very chaotic, hurry back to your Tiezhou."

King Xiachen laughed loudly: "The more chaotic the place, the more opportunities there are; just tell me directly, are you going to help or not?"

The Siming Old Woman sighed in her heart; why was this necessary?

As the King of the Xia clan, King Xia Chen still cannot see the general trend of the times even now.

He still does not know what kind of person the current Ruler of the State truly is.

To be a prince and end up like this, it is truly miserable enough.

"I will help; once a rebel appears, I will strike to suppress and kill them," the Old Matriarch Siming said, her pair of turbid eyes looking at King Xia Chen with a cold, ghostly chill.

Yet this trace of coldness did not make King Xia Chen alert in the slightest.

"Good, good, good!!!" King Xia Chen laughed out loud.

The greatest investment in this world is investing in people!

He invested in Lu Fusan, and Lu Fusan will also lead him back to Jin Province!

Time passed slowly.

A day went by.

The previous Ruler of the State's sermon ended.

Chen Yan slowly opened his eyes.

It was already early morning.

Today is the day of his battle against Lu Fusan.

Dao essence flowed around Chen Yan's body, and every movement of his muscles carried flowing radiance.

His mastery of force became more rounded and more profound.

A 【Skill】 character Saint-Breaking Fruit was swallowed into Chen Yan's belly.

Chen Yan still kept one 【Intent】 character Saint-Breaking Fruit and did not consume it.

He had now stacked his fist intent to the sixteenth layer, but he still hadn't awakened a Fist Realm; Chen Yan was speechless, as the Fist Realm was too profound and mysterious.

Therefore, he now chose to wait for the 【Break】 character Saint-Breaking Fruit to ripen; once it ripened, he would catalyze the 【Intent】 character Saint-Breaking Fruit to one hundred pieces.

He would definitely be able to enter the Fist Realm!

Chen Yan waved one hand, and a circular halo of light bloomed in his hand, spinning rapidly, with countless arc-shaped rays of light splashing out from the halo.

It was like a cutting disc; just by appearing, it carried an indescribable sense of tearing.

This was not the 【Condensed Radiance Style】.

It was the second style of the 【Illusionary Slaughter Dragon-Culling Style】, the 【Heaven-Splitting Style】!

Since yesterday, the phantom of the Ruler of the State had begun to preach this 【Heaven-Splitting Style】.

Chen Yan had cultivated the 【Condensed Radiance Style】 to the Profound Entry level.

Profound Entry is not Heart Entry.

Entry Level, Heart Entry, Profound Entry, Subtle Entry, Divine Entry!

Chen Yan's mastery of the 【Condensed Radiance Style】 had clearly ascended to a higher level!

Aside from the Profound Entry level 【Condensed Radiance Style】.

Chen Yan had also cultivated this 【Heaven-Splitting Style】 to the Entry Level.

Naturally, Chen Yan's strongest move was still the 【Condensed Radiance Style】.

【Saint-Breaking Tree (Level 8): 97/200】

These past few days, Chen Yan's progress had been rapid to the extreme.

This had nothing to do with the decisive battle; it was because Chen Yan himself would not rest for even a moment.

Chen Yan walked out of the room.

Outside the room, there were still many Military Martial Guards standing there.

As they looked at Chen Yan one by one, their expressions were filled with awe.

"Brother Luo." Chen Yan saw one of them immediately.

"You kid, I thought you had forgotten about me."

Luo Puxin walked in front of Chen Yan and laughed out loud.

He had also been with the Military Martial Guards these past few days, but he hadn't been able to speak with Chen Yan at all.

Chen Yan immediately bowed:

"Brother Luo, that day's..."

"Alright, alright, what are you doing? If others see this, they'll think I'm bullying you."

Luo Puxin hurriedly interrupted Chen Yan's bow, patted Chen Yan on the shoulder, and sighed softly:

"You, you're just too tired. At least relax a little; I can't even bear to watch you like this all the time."

Chen Yan nodded, and amidst the pairs of watching eyes, he found San Jin, Shao Hengyang, and Shen Youning.

They were all looking at Chen Yan, filled with nervousness and worry.

In a moment, Chen Yan would be heading into battle.

"Let's all eat something together," Chen Yan said with a smile, inviting everyone into the room.

Smiles appeared on everyone's faces, but these smiles looked more like they were forced out.

"Li Qingyuan, Zhan Hui, you two come as well," Chen Yan said, looking at the two of them with a smile.

Li Qingyuan, a classmate Chen Yan had met when he was in the Martial Suppression Class.

Zhan Hui, a teammate from the New Dragon Guard, though they had never really spoken much.

At this moment, Li Qingyuan and Zhan Hui were both somewhat fearful and uneasy when they saw Chen Yan calling them.

"Don't be strangers."

Chen Yan smiled.

Li Qingyuan walked to Chen Yan's side, pursed his lips, then patted Chen Yan on the shoulder as if relieved, and entered the room.

"I believe you can win!" Zhan Hun spoke, and Chen Yan nodded.

Chen Yan smiled; it was a pity that old Shen was not here, as the other was still in seclusion, very diligent, with killing intent constantly surfacing in his eyes.

It seemed he still thought Chen Yan had died in the college entrance examination secret realm.

Poor old Shen.

This was quite good; Shen Yiwei had found motivation, and with the help of the Word Realm, he seemed to be taking a step further, with the feeling of a Sword Soul seemingly emerging from his body.

The path of True Intent: True Intent, True Realm, True Soul.

If old Shen could enter the True Soul realm, he would definitely be a powerhouse.

Also, Si Wenyi was not here either.

He quite wanted Si Wenyi to appear.

That woman was very gentle toward him.

The love in her eyes was subtle but not insecure, always looking at Chen Yan, her eyes like autumn water.

Chen Yan was just very busy.

Just very busy, that was all.

He was about to enter the house when he suddenly sensed something, looked toward a figure in the distance, and smiled:

"Sister Siwen, you've come too."

Si Wenyi appeared from within the darkness, wearing a black dress, just like when she used to pick him up and drop him off for the Tianbu Fist Tournament.

Very gentle, very beautiful.

Si Wenyi nodded, walked closer, and looked at Chen Yan, her eyes like autumn water.

"Eat something together?"

"Okay." Si Wenyi nodded, then suddenly reached out her slender, jade-white finger to tap Chen Yan's shoulder:

"You, you really don't let people rest easy."

She was like an elder looking at a mischievous little boy, revealing a look of reproach.

Chen Yan smiled and shook his head slightly.

Inside the living room, the lights were dim.

Luo Puxin had instructed the kitchen to prepare many delicacies made from precious ingredients, and even brought out wine.

A group of people chatted and laughed, talking about the Town Martial Class, the New Dragon Guard, and the Heaven's Pride Trial.

Even Shen Youning, who was always stern and humorless, drank until her cheeks were flushed, her eyes hazy:

"Chen Yan, you look so good, I've always felt it was so dreamy." Shen Youning spoke, saying words that did not fit her persona at all.

Xu Di hurriedly spoke:

"She's drunk, she's definitely drunk."

Lu Linqian was also very happy, clinking glasses with Chen Yan:

"Screw that Lu Fusang, I don't believe you will lose."

As she spoke, tears streamed from her eyes, and she tugged at Chen Yan's sleeve:

"You must not lose, okay? If you lose, I will cry for a long time, wuwuwu..."

She cried out loud, perhaps because she had drunk too much, or perhaps because her emotions had reached a peak.

In the end, the others couldn't stop her, and Lu Linqian hugged Shen Youning and cried non-stop.

"I don't want Chen Yan to die, wuwuwu!"

Xu Di cursed softly: "What nonsense are you spouting."

The group continued to drink.

San Jin carefully took out a chicken leg and handed it to Chen Yan.

"Delicious!" Chen Yan gnawed on the chicken leg and looked at San Jin:

"Very delicious!"

San Jin nodded heavily, and then tears also appeared in her eyes.

A girl named Cheng Zizhen, who had golden feathers on her cheeks, entered cautiously.

She was very careful, afraid of disturbing everyone, as many people said she was an Ancient Divine Beast.

But after a while, she also got drunk, and tears also flowed from her eyes.

For some reason, many people were crying.

They had drunk too much.

Luo Puxin didn't even know what to say, looking at Chen Yan and sighing lightly:

"What a sin."

Si Wenyi looked at Chen Yan with a very gentle smile, picked up some greens, and fed them into Chen Yan's mouth.

Chen Yan quietly felt this scene.

He felt moved in his heart.

At this moment, blue light actually appeared within the Saint-Breaking Realm.

Because of Shen Youning, because of Li Qingyuan, because of Xu Di, Shao Hengyang, San Jin, Si Wenyi...

Just this small group of people still brought him limit-breaking energy.

Not a little.

Really not a little.

Compared to the limit-breaking energy formed by a million people, it was truly not a little.

The 【Break】 character Saint-Breaking Fruit was growing.

Ninety-eight percent!

Slowly growing!

Ninety-nine percent!

"Brother..."

A crisp cry rang out outside the door; the moment the sound arose, a delicate female figure threw herself into Chen Yan's embrace.

"Brother!"

Chen Yu wept incessantly, holding Chen Yan tightly, afraid of losing Chen Yan, of losing her brother.

Chen Yan stroked Xiaoyu's head.

He saw it very clearly through his martial path, seeing that his younger sister had disobeyed his orders.

She hadn't gone to Jin Prefecture, but had come here instead.

"Xiaoyan..."

Chen Yuhu also appeared; a grown man, he did not cry, but his eyes were red.

Chen Yuhu cursed incessantly in his heart.

Damn it, what kind of world is this?

Why does everyone have to target his son?

He pulled both Chen Yan and Chen Yu into his arms, holding them tightly as if he didn't want to lose them.

The crowd watched, no one disturbing them.

"Chen Yan!!!"

Outside, a low roar suddenly resounded.

"Come out and fight!!!"

Anger, battle intent, and murderous intent erupted in an instant.

Xiaoyang City was shaking, and countless people were sensing it.

It was Lu Fusang calling for a duel!

Inside the room, Chen Yuhu loosened his embrace, but Chen Yu held on tightly.

She would not let Chen Yan leave.

That was a Life-Death Post!

It possessed the might of heaven and earth.

Chen Yu was terrified; even when Chen Yan wanted to loosen his embrace, she refused to let Chen Yan leave.

"Chen Yan!!!"

"Come out and fight!!!"

Lu Fusang was still shouting.

Chen Yu, however, wept incessantly; inside the room, no one made a sound.

They looked at the young girl crying until she was a mess, feeling distressed in their hearts.

This was Chen Yan's younger sister; she was very pretty and very well-behaved.

Right now, Chen Yu was clearly the person in the world who was most afraid.

Chen Yan wanted to break free, but Chen Yu wouldn't let him.

"I heard there is a way to break the Life-Death Post," Chen Yu said with red eyes; she wanted to try.

"Be good!" Chen Yan said softly.

Chen Yu shook her head, tears streaming down from her eyes.

At this moment, within the Saint-Breaking Realm, the final glimmer of blue light emerged.

Chen Yan smiled.

So this is what faith is.

The final limit-breaking energy came from his father, from his friends, and from his younger sister.

【Break: 100/100】

It had matured!

Chen Yan swallowed it, taking it together with that 【Intent】 Saint-Breaking Fruit.

"Chen Yan, are you a coward!?"

Outside, Lu Fusang sneered, his voice cold.

Chen Yu was unwilling to let go.

In Chen Yu's heart, that Lu Fusang had become a flood-dragon or wild beast, about to snatch away the thing she valued most.

Ruthlessly!

Viciously!

Violently snatching away her most precious thing.

"Brother, I..." Chen Yu began, her eyes red; she was terrified to the extreme in her heart.

She had experienced much, but this was her most painful moment.

But before her voice could fade, the embrace loosened.

Chen Yan was gone.

Boom!!!

A deafening sound that shook the heavens and earth exploded outside!!!

"Ahhhhhhh!!!!"

Screams!

Hissing roars!

Howls, exploding in an instant!

Endless light and flames erupted from within the night sky.

Chen Yu's eyes trembled instantly, and she ran out, almost screaming:

"Brother!!!"

The next moment, she stood stunned, holding her breath at the door.

Above the clouds, that figure in black robes stood tall, with just one finger!

One finger blasted out!

The next moment, this battle had already ended.

The light and flames had not yet dissipated, and a massive spatial rift still remained above the clouds.

That terrifying Lu Fusang, invincible among the Tier 5 of the world, had a blood hole in his forehead.

Lu Fusang's eyes were wide open, his mouth agape.

Blood flowed out from the hole in his forehead, streaking across his brow, across his eyes, turning his final vision scarlet.

Before he died, he heard a voice that was cold to the extreme.

"Didn't you see I was eating? Would it kill you to wait a moment?"

The number one of the Tier 5!

Lu Fusang, dead!
