Chapter 1002: Killing Nie Yuan
In Chen Yu's palm appeared a two-foot-tall golden pagoda.
Infusing his Yuan Power into it, the Golden Mountain Tower emitted a golden brilliance, exuding an ancient and heavy aura.
"Golden Mountain Tower!"
Nie Yuan exclaimed.
In the next instant, the Golden Mountain Tower expanded rapidly, stretching hundreds of feet in length and width, crushing the entire tavern into ashes.
The golden ancient tower slowly rotated, the golden light dazzling and the aura intimidating, suppressing everything.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The siege from the four Condensed Star Kings was all blocked by the Golden Mountain Tower, emitting a thundering sound as violent air currents tore through the air.
The Golden Mountain Tower still stood quietly in place, its light illuminating everything.
"This treasure is mine."
Nie Yuan stared at the huge Golden Mountain Tower, his eyes sparkling.
As expected of a middle-grade mysterious artifact, it withstood the attacks of the four Condensed Star Realm without moving an inch, without a scratch.
Of course, now was not the time to admire this mysterious artifact.
Boom!
The Golden Mountain Tower suddenly moved, pushing forward as if infinite golden light was shooting out, its speed astonishingly fast.
The golden light enveloped the four, accompanied by an immensely heavy pressure that caused their blood and Qi to stagnate.
The attack method of the Golden Mountain Tower was very simple, much like Chen Yu's fist and foot attacks, directly crashing out.
Its weight was astounding, and its speed was frighteningly fast; the resulting power was imaginable!
Bang! Boom!
The golden light exploded, making it seem as if heaven and earth trembled.
The surrounding barrier twisted and became unstable.
Upon closer look, the Blood King retreated to the side, his face pale, heartbeat frantic.
While one of Nie Yuan's arms hung limply, the bones inside shattered to pieces, and he screamed in agony.
Two of the Early Stage of Star Condensing were directly turned into minced meat by the Golden Mountain Tower's impact, with the scent of blood wafting through the air.
"Not bad power."
Chen Yu smiled slightly.
The Golden Mountain Tower, which he had refined to eighty or ninety percent, had not been fully refined yet; still, it could display such power, which pleased him greatly.
"Chen Yu, you actually ruined my arm; you're courting death!"
"I, the esteemed Young Master, will make your life a living hell!"
Enduring immense pain, Nie Yuan stared fiercely at Chen Yu.
Whoosh!
A flash of dark golden radiance, his mysterious artifact shot out, carrying immense Sword Qi, horizontally streaking through the air.
"Slaughter Blood King, quickly kill him."
Nie Yuan roared.
The Blood King shivered all over, not expecting the Golden Mountain Tower's power to be so astonishing, instantly killing his two helpers.
Chen Yu's strength was truly terrifying; combined with the Golden Mountain Tower, it was likely impossible to kill him.
Trapped in a dilemma, the Blood King couldn't abandon Nie Yuan and had to take action.
"Chen Yu, how dare you attack Young Master Nie Yuan of the City Lord Mansion; you are doomed!"
The Blood King shouted angrily, using Nie Yuan's identity to intimidate Chen Yu.
Even the Evil King Yun wouldn't dare lay a hand on Nie Yuan in Chaotic Sea City.
Chen Yu would surely be afraid of Nie Yuan's identity, leading to hesitation, providing an opportunity to kill him.
Just when the Blood King finished speaking.
Puff!
He spat out a streak of blood light from his mouth, within which emerged a dark red blood bead, the size of an infant's fist, emanating an evil and filthy aura.
As soon as this bead appeared, blood energy surged, with countless blood-red infant faces inside, ferociously terrifying, screaming continuously.
Swoosh!
This blood bead shot out, arriving in front of the Golden Mountain Tower, creating an incredibly violent blood-colored explosion.
Even the Golden Mountain Tower shook slightly and shifted in position.
It was clear that the Blood King's blood bead was not simple.
Ding bang!
Nie Yuan's treasured sword clashed with the Golden Mountain Tower, making a sound like metal clashing against metal.
"Is he the general's son, Nie Yuan?"
Chen Yu glanced at Nie Yuan, slightly surprised.
Previously, they had competed for the Golden Mountain Tower at the Lingfeng Auction House, but Chen Yu had never seen Nie Yuan's true face, so he didn't know.
If he hadn't competed with Nie Yuan for the Golden Mountain Tower, Chen Yu originally planned to befriend this little tyrant of the City Lord Mansion, to meet the Qingyun Emperor.
What a pity.
Chen Yu's struggle for the Golden Mountain Tower offended Nie Yuan, making them enemies, attacking each other with no room for reconciliation.
Plan A couldn't succeed.
"Staying here all the time is not a solution; I still have to head to the Eight Emperor Sects. In this case, try 'Plan B' before leaving."
Chen Yu made a decision in his heart.
Plan A was to establish connections with the high ranks of the City Lord Mansion.
Plan B was to create a big commotion and alarm the Qingyun Emperor.
"Now you know fear? Know that you shouldn't have offended me, the esteemed Young Master? But it's all too late!"
Nie Yuan appeared arrogant and overbearing.
"Not late, not late, I'll just use you to implement Plan B."
Chen Yu sneered.
Whoosh!
As the Golden Mountain Tower spun, it quickly shrank, returning to its two-foot height.
The Blood King thought Chen Yu dared not attack Nie Yuan, surrendering, but the faint smile and madness on Chen Yu's face denied the Blood King's naive thoughts.
In the next moment.
The Blood King and Nie Yuan saw Chen Yu throwing out the Golden Mountain Tower.
Swoosh!
A beam of golden light shot straight towards Nie Yuan.
"Not good!"
Nie Yuan felt an intense danger, the soft armor on his body flashing silver light.
Moreover, he conjured a talisman, transforming it into a dark yellow talisman light shield, covering his surroundings.
At this moment.
The golden light descended, suddenly expanded, and transformed into a massive golden tower hundreds of feet tall, pressing down.
Boom!
Violent energy spread in all directions, the ground trembled fiercely, cracking inch by inch.
...
Outside.
In the eyes of outsiders, this tavern seemed nothing special, just enveloped in bright golden light, the barrier appearing somewhat unusual.
In Chaos City, barriers are quite common, just like the City Lord Mansion which is completely surrounded, making it impossible for outsiders to see any inside situation.
However, this tavern is usually ordinary, rarely opening a barrier, why would it now use such an advanced barrier?
As people's eyes turned to an emaciated old man beside the barrier, they suddenly understood.
"Isn't that the 'Black Bone King'? Once a notorious devil of the Chaotic Sea Plain, ultimately working for the City Lord Mansion, becoming General Nie's steward, most of the time secretly protecting Nie Yuan's safety."
"Looks like someone has offended Young Master Nie Yuan, perhaps already tragically dead inside."
"Ah, I'm a bit envious of Nie Yuan, being able to wreak havoc and kill freely in Chaos City."
Many passersby whispered, didn't dare to come close.
Although Chaos City is a cultivation city, unlike other famous cultivation cities where killing is openly prohibited, clandestine murders happen from time to time.
Some sneak attack targets and quickly flee Chaos City.
Others pay off the City Lord Mansion's patrol team or bribe higher-level figures to reduce penalties.
In the crowd not far away.
Elder Yu from the Black Dragon Auction, along with a woman in purple clothing, quietly watched this scene.
Originally, they were watching Slaughter Blood King, then came to this place.
"Elder, what exactly is happening? Why is Slaughter Blood King mingling with Young Master Nie Yuan?"
"It seems Nie Yuan is teaming up with Slaughter Blood King to confront some enemy."
The woman in purple transmitted sound.
"No matter what, if Slaughter Blood King manages to make good relations with Nie Yuan, it'll be difficult for us to take action."
Elder Yu's eyes were somber.
Not just them, but many loose cultivators were also paying attention to this tavern, most just watching the spectacle.
Suddenly.
Buzz!
The bright golden light enveloping the tavern suddenly twisted, then calmed down.
"It seems the fight inside is quite intense."
"What's the use of resisting? Offending Nie Yuan, even if one can escape, can one get past Zhao Mingzhi's level?"
People discussed, some with pity, some mocking.
Not long after.
Buzz!
The barrier surface twisted again, expanding and deforming somewhat.
The crowd mildly gasped, the battle inside was indeed fierce.
The "Black Bone King" elder guarding beside furrowed his white brows.
How could Young Master Nie Yuan and Slaughter Blood King still not settle the opponent?
He felt something wasn't right, pulled out an array flag, planning to go in and check the situation.
At that moment.
Bang!
A part of the golden barrier expanded intensely and then cracked open, a golden spire piercing outward.
Whoosh!
The barrier twisted and vanished instantly.
The previous tavern scene was just an illusion.
Everyone only felt the view shatter suddenly, revealing a completely different picture.
The tavern disappeared into thin air, leaving a giant pit on the ground, with a golden tower standing in the void, its light illuminating everything.
"Steward, save me!"
Next, a piercing scream echoed.
Under the golden giant tower, General Nie's son Nie Yuan's dark yellow talisman light shield shattered, the silver scale armor on him crushed.
Nie Yuan's chest collapsed, blood splattering out, his life in jeopardy.
"Scoundrel, stop!"
Seeing this scene, Black Bone King's eyes spread cold death energy, suddenly shouted.
If Nie Yuan dies, he cannot escape responsibility.
Boom!
A gloomy ghostly aura permeated all around.
The Black Bone King took action.
He was also in the Mid-stage Star Condensation Realm, but he was an established evil path king, his reputation spreading far and wide for hundreds of years, vastly different from the ordinary mid-stage Slaughter Blood King.
Boom!
In the void, a vast expanse of ghost mist reached out a pale bone claw, seemingly from Nine Nether Hell, trying to drag Chen Yu away.
"Scram!"
Chen Yu's body star acupoint flashed, white starlight swirling around.
As he punched, everything between heaven and earth seemed to dim, except for the brightest light shining from his fist, like a glowing star.
Crash!
The pale bone claw clashed with the shining star.
The bone claw seemed immensely powerful, crushing the star, but also slowly disintegrating itself.
After the strike, everyone was shocked.
"The Black Bone King is a notorious evil demon from hundreds of years ago, how could this kid withstand a strike against the Mid-stage Star Condensation Realm Black Bone King, who is he?"
"I know who this person is, look at that golden tower, it's the pivotal mystical weapon [Golden Mountain Tower] from the Lingfeng Auction, acquired by a mysterious guest, likely this young man."
Even Black Bone King was startled.
Though he had the upper hand in the strike just now, he didn't cause any harm to Chen Yu.
This Early Stage Condensed Star kid, where did he come from?
At that moment.
"Ah..."
Nie Yuan's final scream echoed.
His body was suppressed by [Golden Mountain Tower], separating from his head, blood pooling on the ground.
"My god, Nie Yuan is dead!"
"It's over, it's over, this young man is too impulsive, actually killed Nie Yuan, and now has nowhere to hide in the heavens or earth!"
