Mountain Patrol Military Officer

"Mountain Shattering and Sea Overturning!" The old boatman steadied himself and suddenly looked up, staring at the flying beast-like figure with eyes like venomous snakes, cornered to a desperate state.

He swung his twin blades to the side, and with two earth-shattering roars, the mighty river was split in two by his strike, soaring skyward like a suspended river from the heavens.

But the next second, an eerie voice echoed as if from the netherworld.

"What a coincidence, I can do that too!"

As the words fell, the once-forward rushing suspended river began to roll back against the old boatman's fierce and strained face.

Two or three breaths later,

"Bang"

The suspended river exploded with a crash, collapsing down.

The old boatman's face turned grim, a hint of dread flashed in his pupils, and taking advantage of the overwhelming waves, he transformed, becoming transparent, and concealed himself within the waters.

However, the next second, a mountain-sized fist broke through the water curtain hanging from the sky, smashing fiercely at the spot where he had disappeared.

"Boom"

Instantly, a cry of pain arose as blue light flashed, the monstrous waves burst open, and a figure was violently struck out from the spray, spewing blood.

The old boatman's true body was exposed, with hair disheveled, a fierce blood hole punched in his chest.

Before he could react, Chen Yuan's figure flashed once more, his fists carrying overwhelming might, launching a wild and reckless assault on the boastful old man, engaging in close combat like a ferocious beast, moving so fast it was impossible to see.

The old boatman struggled to defend, intimidated by Chen Yuan's brutality, revealing more and more flaws in his massive Dharma Body, which Chen Yuan battered up and down like a ball.

Thus, blood rain sprayed in clusters, mixed with the old man's throat-deepened voice interrupted again and again.

Half a cup of tea later, a wrenching cry echoed through the void.

"Hiss..."

With a fierce look at the corner of his eye, Chen Yuan grabbed the old man's arms with both hands and tore them apart violently.

A great shower of blood rained down.

Then,

"Bang"

The man's head exploded with a boom, pierced through by a golden light.

Then, Chen Yuan's cold golden vertical eye emerged from the blood spraying from the neck.

Yet there was no sign of the old man's Primordial Spirit.

Where had the Primordial Spirit gone?

Chen Yuan activated his golden vertical eye, scanning the ten directions, his gaze suddenly fierce, looking west a dozen miles away, where a black-gold falcon, only a few feet in size, moved as fast as teleportation, diving headlong into the great river below.

It was the bird that had perched on the boatman's shoulder earlier!

But at that moment, a golden light shot from Chen Yuan's eyes, targeting the river's surface below in the distance.

There was an Array fluctuation there too.

"Boom"

A great wave rose.

The Array fluctuation vanished.

Right after, the black bird broke through the water's surface again, flying like lightning towards the southwest.

"Hmph!"

Chen Yuan's eyes shone like cold lightning, using his Dharma Eye to reveal an Array at the river's bottom. This time he saw it clearly; it was a short-distance Transmission Array.

It seemed this person had made several preparations, but in the face of absolute power disparity, they were all useless.

Chen Yuan shot another golden light, destroying the Array from afar.

The black bird let out an old man's shrill wail, exploding with a bang as a strand of radiance leapt out, soaring into the sky, ripping the void into a black rift with both hands.

As it was about to enter,

A scorching fierce wind locked onto it from behind!

A stream of fire appeared like a meteor chasing the moon, rapidly closing in on the old boatman's Primordial Spirit, then with a bang, under a dazzling fiery light, the space shattered, and the Primordial Spirit vanished completely.

Such an old being with fading vitality and end nearing, unclear if it was entirely dead, after all, this old guy looked like he'd lived quite long, who knows if he had some strange life-preserving Divine Skills, no one knows.

But Chen Yuan did not linger.

After accomplishing all this, he closed his Dharma Eye as the surging firelight receded quickly like whirlwinds returning to flames, disappearing into his Dharma Body. Then, his figure flickered towards the carriage.

Flipping his hand, he revealed the heads he had just slain, deciding to keep them.

"Get to the Divine Capital as fast as possible!"

"Hmph, I fear the journey won't be peaceful!"

"Exactly, respect people and they may bully and humiliate you, but once you frighten them with death, they'll know pain!"

Chen Yuan sparkled with icy light, blood threads at the corner of his eyes not yet faded.

Xu Liang and Gou Yue shivered in spirit, words stuck in their throats.

At last, with a shout of "Hya," the carriage sped swiftly towards the Capital!
