Chapter 251: Suppression

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Colorless and tasteless, blending into the wind, even those in the refining dirty realm would find it difficult to detect it for a moment. By the time you realize it, the poison has already taken root deep within!

For most poisons, their effectiveness diminishes for those in the Marrow Tempering realm and can even be transported out of the body by manipulating one’s qi and blood in the Visceral Tempering realm.

However, all of this takes time, and when martial artists engage in combat, they seek opportunities within those fleeting moments. If your combat capabilities are lowered in the present, that’s the greatest victory.

On one hand, Qu Yuanen tried to persuade, but in reality, he had already ordered someone to poison the scene. Whether Chen Fei refused or agreed later, all the initiative was in Qu Yuanen’s hands.

However, Qu Yuanen did not anticipate that Chen Fei would point and instantly kill the hidden assassins who had been poisoning from afar, simultaneously gathering the poison gas in the palm of his hand.

What kind of technique was this? It was simply unprecedented!

“Attack!”

With a loud shout, countless arrows flew from a distance, covering the area where Chen Fei and his group were situated.

Upon closer inspection, each arrowhead was coated with a shiny green substance, evidently infused with a potent toxin.

Not only arrows but various hidden weapons also surged toward them. In an instant, this place turned into a desperate situation with no way out.

Seeing the scene before her, Ruan Qiaojun became bewildered, and Chu Wennian pulled Ruan Qiaojun and Chu Lan to hide behind the carriage.

Chu Wennian wasn’t sure if this was a viable strategy, but he knew that, in the face of everything happening, they could only trust Chen Fei and the capabilities of an ApertureTempering realm expert.

If Chen Fei couldn’t handle the current situation, they would have no choice but to accept their fate.

Wind Gathering Technique!

At some point, Chen Fei had already stood up and extended his right hand forward. The entire world seemed to pause for a moment, and in the next instant, a strong wind swept across, with Chen Fei’s right hand at the center, sweeping in all directions.

Those arrows and hidden weapons flying towards them were disrupted by this gust of wind, losing their original trajectories and shooting off in other directions.

Within a five-meter radius of Chen Fei, it became an absolute safe zone, where none of the attacks could land.

The Wind Gathering Technique, a martial art Chen Fei had learned in the mysterious domain, cost him a hefty forty thousand taels of silver for simplification. This technique, which both Lu Zhichun and him, in the Aperture Tempering realm, were willing to learn, was undoubtedly extraordinary.

After simplification, it could be comprehended by merely blowing air, and Chen Fei had already mastered it to Great Completion in these few days. In its perfected form, the Wind Gathering Technique had exhibited effects that far exceeded Chen Fei’s expectations.

Wind gathering and light-footedness were abilities Chen Fei had originally thought of, but after reaching the Great Completion state, the Wind Gathering Technique acquired an additional feature: Wind Listening.

Wherever there was wind, sound could be carried into Chen Fei’s ears.

This was an incredibly powerful ability, which made Chen Fei somewhat delighted.

Seeing the sharp attacks being thwarted by Chen Fei, smiles appeared on the faces of Ruan Qiaojun and Chu Lan. Both of them looked at Chen Fei with admiration.

In a dire situation, someone stepping forward to turn the tide easily won the hearts of those around them.

Far away, Qu Yuanen’s eyes widened slightly. Dozens of assassins had prepared a joint attack, but Chen Fei had broken it with a single move, something Qu Yuanen had never anticipated.

However, Qu Yuanen did not issue a retreat order. Although Chen Fei’s displayed abilities far exceeded his expectations, he was still within the Visceral Tempering realm’s range and hadn’t demonstrated the abilities of the Aperture Tempering realm.

But all of this couldn’t make them retreat!

“Hiss…”

Several icy glimmers suddenly appeared around Chen Fei. At some point, a few figures had emerged from underground, wielding short blades gleaming with cold light, which sent shivers down one’s spine.

Meanwhile, in the shadows, a dark figure suddenly flashed and appeared next to Ruan Qiaojun, thrusting toward her head. However, Ruan Qiaojun and the other two were completely unaware, as their attention was focused on the assassins around Chen Fei.

They had never expected that there were other assassins lurking, targeting them this time.

The primary objective of this mission had always been Ruan Qiaojun. Killing her was the most important task. As for Chen Fei, if they could kill him, they would, and if they couldn’t, they wouldn’t push it.

“They’re all here!

Chen Fei scanned his surroundings, gripping the Qianyuan Sword in his right hand and lightly tapping the ground.

In an instant, the Zhongyuan Force Field instantly pervaded the area, dragging all the assassins surrounding Chen Fei and the hidden shadows behind Ruan Qiaojun’s group forcefully onto the ground.

“Whoosh!”

The Zhongyuan Sword Pearl flashed by, and several figures instantly stopped struggling. Not only these assassins but also the dozens of others lying in ambush in the distance were pierced through by the Zhongyuan Sword Pearl. They hadn’t even realized what had happened before they were killed.

The Zhongyuan Sword Formation made dealing with martial artists in the Body Tempering realm as simple as slaughtering chickens and sheep. It was highly effective for controlling the situation.

“Bang!”

The sword pearl collided with Qu Yuanen’s blade, immediately causing cracks to appear on the blade. Qu Yuanen was horrified and had never expected Chen Fei’s combat power to be so exaggerated.

If Qu Yuanen had known how formidable Chen Fei was, even if he were given ten times the courage, he wouldn’t have dared to stand so close.

Qu Yuanen spat out a mouthful of blood, and his entire body’s blood instantly boiled. Taking advantage of the force of the sword pearl, he disappeared from his original location.

The Blood Body Flash! It was a technique commonly used by Rain Pavilion assassins. In a critical moment, it could lead to a mutual kill with the enemy or, if there was no chance of winning, it could be used to escape.

“Let’s go, let’s completely resolve this!”

Chen Fei looked at Qu Yuanen’s blood-red figure and waved his right hand, leading Ruan Qiaojun’s group to follow behind Qu Yuanen.

Naturally, Chen Fei had intentionally let Qu Yuanen go. Otherwise, how could a Visceral Tempering realm expert withstand Chen Fei’s attacks?

Rain Pavilion’s assassins were troublesome, and unless they were completely eliminated, they would continue to launch attacks in the future.

Chen Fei didn’t want to deal with Rain Pavilion’s harassment for the next few days, so he decided to clear out all of Rain Pavilion’s people in the vicinity, strangling the trouble in its cradle.

The Wind Gathering Technique with its Wind Listening feature began to take effect. Chen Fei locked onto the faint sounds coming from Qu Yuanen ahead and followed calmly.

Qu Yuanen, in the front, was running frantically, feeling that Chen Fei hadn’t caught up with him. Qu Yuanen couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

However, he didn’t dare to be complacent. Qu Yuanen took out a bottle of potion and poured it over his head. Even if there were any mental markers, this potion could taint them, rendering them ineffective.

Qu Yuanen ran to a nearby river and leaped into it.

Even if Chen Fei caught up later, the twisting and complicated paths under the riverbed were enough to shake him off. This was a contingency escape route Qu Yuanen had planned, just in case.

He never expected to use it today!

Inside the river, Qu Yuanen continued to dive, reaching a fork in the waterway and swimming further in. After holding his breath for a quarter of an hour, Qu Yuanen resurfaced.

Qu Yuanen glanced around. He was now several miles away from where he had jumped into the water. At this distance, Qu Yuanen didn’t believe that Chen Fei could catch up.

Nevertheless, Qu Yuanen wasn’t taking any chances. After taking a deep breath, he submerged himself again and continued to follow the preplanned route to withdraw.

It was his life on the line, and Qu Yuanen would rather go to some trouble to eliminate potential dangers.

Having repeated this process three times, Qu Yuanen had distanced himself from the original spot where he had jumped into the water by ten miles. At this distance, Qu Yuanen didn’t believe that Chen Fei could continue to pursue him.

Qu Yuanen jumped onto the shore, oriented himself, and dashed to the right. In less than a stick of incense’s time, Qu Yuanen arrived in a dense forest where several figures stood in the shadows, appearing eerie.

Seeing Qu Yuanen, several figures descended, but when they noticed Qu Yuanen’s injuries, their brows furrowed slightly.

“What happened? Are you the only one who came back?” Yuan Haixing asked with a frown.

“There’s been trouble; everyone’s dead!”

Qu Yuanen’s face turned pale. The Blood Body Flash’s recoil had left him extremely weak, and this weakness would persist for several months. If not managed properly, it could lead to lasting consequences.

“Aperture Tempering realm?” the other people exclaimed.

“I’m not sure. The distance was too far, and I couldn’t sense it clearly,” Qu Yuanen replied.

Qu Yuanen recalled the battle from earlier. Chen Fei had treated it too casually, as if he regarded them as insignificant. However, many powerful individuals in the Visceral Tempering realm behaved similarly.

The main issue was that Chen Fei’s appearance made him seem very young. Even the true disciples of sects took several years to break through to the Visceral Tempering realm, typically achieving it in their thirties.

Chen Fei appeared to be in his twenties at most.

“If ihe was in the Visceral Tempering realm, you probably wouldn’t have come back,” Yuan Haixing said solemnly.

Yuan Haixing understood the power of the Visceral Tempering realm. Although Qu Yuanen was not weak, escaping from someone in the Visceral Tempering realm alive was definitely not as simple as using a Blood Body Flash.

“So, what should we do next?” Qu Yuanen asked in a low voice.

“We’ve killed so many of our Rain Pavilion people; this matter is far from over. Plus, even if there’s someone in the Aperture Tempering realm involved, the payment from the employer is already sufficient. We’ll report the situation, and they’ll respond accordingly!” Yuan Haixing’s eyes narrowed as he spoke sternly.

“So, is everyone present already?”

An indifferent voice suddenly rang out, and Yuan Haixing and the others were startled. Then, they quickly moved, running in various directions.

“Buzz!”

A force field pressed down, immobilizing all of them in place. Yuan Haixing and the others had just begun to struggle when a black sword bead quietly approached their foreheads.

Sensing the immense power contained in the sword bead, Yuan Haixing and the others stopped struggling, not daring to make any movements, for fear of triggering the sword bead’s backlash.

“You still haven’t answered me. Is everyone here?” Chen Fei approached with Ruan Qiaojun and the others.

Qu Yuanen had tried various methods to escape from Chen Fei, but ultimately, it was all in vain.

“Sir, are you an Aperture Tempering realm expert? Rain Pavilion also has Aperture Tempering realm assassins, but since there was one involved in this mission, we’ll return and cancel it!” Yuan Haixing said in a low voice.

So, you’re threatening me? Trying to make me let you all go willingly, right?”

Chen Fei’s figure flickered, appearing in front of Yuan Haixing. He looked at Yuan Haixing and said, “Moreover, you just said that the payment from the employer was sufficient, so you lied, didn’t you?”

“No…”

Yuan Haixing wanted to resist when he saw the sword bead move, but it was already too late. He shivered and collapsed to the side.

“Who’s willing to speak and explain the specific situation?” Chen Fei turned to Qu Yuanen and the others..
