Chapter 100: Chapter 99 Night Assassination (Please Subscribe First!)_2
“Swish!”
“Rip!”
A familiar sound entered Chen Yuan’s ears, and upon focusing his gaze, he saw a blood-red paper figurine on the ground, its face painted with a demonic smile that struck fear into the heart.
His heart trembled, and goosebumps sprouted all over Chen Yuan’s body.
Paper figurine!
...
It was an entity from beneath the Blood Pond!
With a sharp glance, Chen Yuan suddenly turned his head upwards and behind him, where, unknown to him, a figure in a dark red robe had appeared.
With disheveled hair, it was evident that the man’s face bore dry creases and his figure was haggard, yet his eyes were incredibly piercing, standing on a wall staring at Chen Yuan,
emanating a stench of blood, identical to that which wafted from the Blood Pond.
“Who might you be, senior?”
Although Chen Yuan was certain that the figure before him was the entity from under the Blood Pond as mentioned by Zhang Xuan, he still dared not to show it outwardly.
“What, truly can’t guess who I am?”
A hoarse and dry voice emanated from the gaunt man.
“Senior jests. Chen has no quarrel nor connection with senior, how could I possibly guess your identity?” Chen Yuan said, looking at the man, subtly revealing more of the shadow on his left arm.
At the moment, maybe only the Blood Evil Saber could save him!
The master of the Blood Pond had several powerful protectors in the Gang Condensation Realm, and had people from the No-Life Sect gather blood for his healing, making his strength and status unquestionably formidable.
He was not someone Chen Yuan could rival at the moment.
Let alone him, even the County Magistrate Li Mingqi would not be able to do so.
Now with Zhang Xuan away from Ping’an County, Chen Yuan could only rely on himself.
To be precise, the eerie Blood Evil Saber!
The gaunt man watched Chen Yuan with a detached gaze, neither sad nor happy:
“Chen Ping’an, you killed him, didn’t you?”
“Chen Ping’an… who is that?”
Chen Yuan smiled.
“He was a disciple I valued highly, who had great use for my future plans, but you killed him. What do you think should be done?” the gaunt man asked.
Chen Yuan did not respond, his eyes flickered.
The gaunt man continued:
“Furthermore, you’ve also taken things I left on the altar. Shouldn’t we settle these accounts as well?”
“How would senior like to settle this?”
Since the other party had clarified matters, it would insult his intelligence to persist in feigning ignorance, so Chen Yuan’s attitude changed swiftly.
The gaunt man stepped forward, slowly descending to the ground:
“The Huang Family has been exterminated, Zhao Shuping has been captured, leaving my Holy Sect without eyes inside the County Government of Ping’an. You have a decent talent, and I am considering taking you as my disciple to plant someone of our own in Ping’an County. What do you think?”
“With my guidance, you could have a chance to enter the Gang Condensation Realm within three years. Plus, with the support of my Holy Sect, becoming a County Magistrate is not impossible.”
Chen Yuan displayed a harmless smile:
“Honestly, I have long admired the Holy Sect. If I could join, it would be an immense fortune indeed.”
“Good, you’re a man who understands the ways of the world. As long as you tell me the method to control that sinister blade, I can accept you as my disciple right now,” said the gaunt man, a strange smile curling on his lips.
“So that’s the real goal…” Chen Yuan thought to himself.
“Are you referring to this item, senior?”
Chen Yuan lifted his left arm, revealing the tattoo-like shadow.

Lust filled the gaunt man’s eyes as he nodded:
“Yes, that’s the one.”
“To be honest with senior, I have not controlled this object. I also do not know why it remains dormant within me,” Chen Yuan hurriedly said.
“Hmm? Are you afraid I would harm you?” The tone of the gaunt man turned slightly displeased.
“Of course not, it’s just that I truly do not know how to control it. If senior has a way, please help me expel it from my body. To tell the truth, I’ve been living in fear throughout today.”
Timely, a hint of fear crossed Chen Yuan’s face.
But the gaunt man just let out a cold laugh:
“Do you think I would believe that?”
“Chen has never lied in his life…” Chen Yuan said earnestly.
He’s called Chen Yuan, not Chen.
What does it matter to Chen Yuan if Chen lies?
After gazing at Chen Yuan for a few moments, the emaciated man slowly stepped forward and said,
“Stretch out your left arm.”
“Alright…” Chen Yuan nodded his head.
As the emaciated man approached within ten feet, Chen Yuan’s spirit stirred, his blood surged, and the next moment, a black light flashed from his wrist and shot towards the emaciated man instantly.
As if expecting such an action, the instant the Blood Evil Saber shimmered, a blood-red paper effigy detached from the emaciated man’s body, charging head-on towards the Blood Evil Saber, while he himself shifted his feet, stepping aside to dodge.
“Swoosh!”
The Blood Evil Saber erupted, and the blood-colored paper effigy was instantly shattered, quietly lying on the ground.
As he released the Blood Evil Saber, Chen Yuan immediately reached for the hilt, stomped his foot, and golden paint solidified on his skin as he violently slashed forward.
“Bang!”
The emaciated man raised his arm, a smear of blood-colored Gang Qi condensed in his palm, clashed with Chen Yuan, and a muffled grunt sounded.
Chen Yuan, having anticipated this, scattered a pack of lime powder instantly,
“Whoosh!”
An arrow shot towards the emaciated man’s neck at incredible speed.
“Ting…”
The poisoned arrow was deflected on impact!
“Interesting.”
The emaciated man laughed hoarsely, as he struck out with a palm, a swipe of blood-colored Gang Qi reached Chen Yuan in an instant, who barely managed to draw his saber to block.
With a ‘bang’, Chen Yuan crashed heavily to the ground, then quickly sprang up, casting a discreet glance at his chest, which sent a sharp pain through him.
If not for the fully activated Vajra Glaze Body, just that one strike would have been enough to severely wound him.
Chen Yuan’s face darkened. Just one strike, one single strike, and he had lost. Every move he made had been deployed, yet he had not inflicted even a scratch on the emaciated man before him!
Having repelled Chen Yuan, the emaciated man did not move, as if waiting for something.
The Blood Evil Saber previously activated by Chen Yuan, having dealt with the paper effigy, had lost its target, turned into a black streak of light, and burrowed back into Chen Yuan’s left arm.
Afterward, the Blood Evil Saber, which had not consumed any essence blood, began to devour the blood from Chen Yuan’s flesh.
Chen Yuan could feel a part of the blood in his left arm being instantly sucked away by something…
The emaciated man watched this scene quietly. Initially, he had been devoured by that thing, losing much of his essence blood before having to expel it from his body using a secret technique.
Previously, he observed Chen Yuan easily controlling the artifact, and now he was curious to see if Chen Yuan could escape this calamity.
As for dodging the attack of the evil artifact, it was naturally because he had taken precautions.
He knew the artifact’s characteristics.
If an attack missed, it would return to the body.
It was a double-edged sword; used well, it was a stealthy weapon that could even penetrate Gang Qi, but used poorly, one could end up a dried-up corpse.
As the Blood Evil Saber passed through his left arm, preparing to devour the essence blood of his other flesh, it seemed to encounter some resistance, suddenly halting, identical to the last time, lying quietly on his left arm.
But Chen Yuan also felt a sense of discontent and rebellion emanating from within the Blood Evil Saber.
“It’s the Qi Fortune Altar!”
Chen Yuan’s eyes flickered; the range of the evil artifact was limited to his left arm—the moment it exceeded that boundary, it would be restrained by the Qi Fortune Altar, just like before.
After waiting for a moment, seeing that Chen Yuan’s complexion was somewhat pale but without serious harm, the emaciated man’s eyes were filled with elation. He stared tightly at Chen Yuan and threatened,
“Tell me how you control it, and you can live today.”
“Otherwise… even gods won’t be able to save you. I will extract your three souls and refine them into a paper effigy!”
Chen Yuan stared straight at the emaciated man, pondering his escape, but before he could respond,
Petals emanating a faint light floated down in front of them in the dark night, startling both Chen Yuan and the emaciated man, who immediately looked up in astonishment.
In the void, petals fell like snow.
The sound of a cold and pleasing flute filled their ears,
Seeming to envelop them from all directions.
