Outside the city, the monk Yao Xin sat cross-legged in the void, slowly raising his head, sensing an aggressive aura, his gaze fixed on a shadow in black ahead.

They're here!

Chen Yuan stepped forward, finally stopping within a hundred paces, separated by hundreds of meters, as he also sized up the long-browed old monk sitting cross-legged before him.

Strange, very strange!

His appearance, his posture, and his aura, Chen Yuan thought he had never seen before. Yet, for some reason, one glance gave him a peculiar feeling of familiarity.

As if they had dealt with each other before.

Of course, that wasn't the most important thing. The most important thing was that this person possessed Qi Fortune!

He had just reached the range of the Heavenly Eye Pupil Technique and opened his Heavenly Eye, and then discovered the old monk surrounded by a dense circle of green Qi Fortune.

With this item, everything else becomes insignificant.

Anyway, this man must die here today.

For him, Qi Fortune coming voluntarily is definitely a good thing. He had been thinking about how to kill Song Lun to seize the Qi Fortune, and now coincidentally one has delivered itself.

Not bad luck....

"Chen Benefactor, long time no see."

Yao Xin monk was the first to greet, placing his hands before his chest, nodding, and joining them.

"We... have met?"

Chen Yuan scrutinized the old monk in front of him, his brow slightly furrowed.

"This wasted body, Chen Benefactor naturally has not seen, but my former separated spirit body, Chen Benefactor has seen."

"Who?"

"Gold Mountain Monastery, Fa Hai!"

"Fa Hai!"

Chen Yuan's gaze tightened, finally realizing why he felt familiarity from this old monk.

So, Fa Hai was actually his separated spirit body.

As the greatest opponent he encountered entering Nanling Prefecture, Chen Yuan always remembered Fa Hai's lofty demeanor at first, and when he killed him, his body curled like a dead dog.

That guy indeed wasn't so simple.

Back then, Chen Yuan discovered Fa Hai was extraordinary, his Qi Fortune wasn't green but gold, almost thinking it wasn't Qi Fortune; only after killing him realized that the golden light was a cover, essentially still green Qi Fortune.

But it had been split in two, one half on Fa Hai, the other half on this old monk.

"So, you're here for revenge?"

Chen Yuan smiled slightly, not feeling afraid of his opponent's stronger cultivation. He had killed more than one True Master in Refining God.

There's no difference here.

In his eyes, this man's cultivation was immensely strong, but somewhat unstable, more like a death throes, forced endurance.

Such a person, worthy to kill him?

"A grudge against those who block one's path cannot go unavenged. Because of Chen Benefactor, my path was completely severed. Now about to reincarnate, I've come specially to settle karma.

No need to fight to the death, I just wish to learn something from Chen Benefactor."

Yao Xin solemnly stated.

Chen Yuan laughed, gazing at Yao Xin, he spoke gravely:

"Past events, I have no intention to argue with you, but a grudge against those who block one's path is irreconcilable. How could a simple exchange suffice to settle it? Since you've come today, then let us fight to the death, both to see who is stronger, and to settle life and death!"

Yao Xin frowned, surprised by his opponent's heavy killing intent, a spat about life and death, hesitating briefly.

"Benefactor is an official of the court; if the poor monk takes a life, then Bright Temple will suffer, unless.... benefactor pledges not to implicate others."

"Such schemes from you, old monk, still many indeed. But, tell me why should I agree with you? Today, either you kill me or I kill you, but regardless of outcomes, Bright Temple shall be annihilated; this... is the answer I give you."

Chen Yuan had no interest in debating anything with him. His goal was not only to seize Qi Fortune but also to use Bright Temple's hand to establish authority in the Southern lands.

"Benefactor harbors a demon in his heart, a far too heavy killing intent." Yao Xin replied, slowly rising, holding a string of Buddha Beads, eyes slightly cold.

"What is Buddha? What is Demon? Do we need your definition? Yao Xin, since I could kill your spirit back then, I can kill you now.

You come here willingly to seek death, blame none but yourself!"

Chen Yuan stepped forward, momentum soaring to the skies.

Yao Xin frowned, a hint of killing intent flashed in his eyes:

"Chen Benefactor, Buddhist doors not only possess compassionate Bodhisattvas but also wrathful Vajrapanis; angering me, the poor monk, will only harm you, never benefit you."

"Haha, alright, at this stage there's no need to hide anything. I know perfectly well what Buddhist doors are, better than you. If you plan to act, then do it."

"Humans have seven emotions and six desires, the poor monk has cultivated for hundreds of years; all distractions have been refined away by me. But at this moment, I am indeed angry, it's the purest and most primal anger from within.

Chen Benefactor's demonic nature is difficult to tame, the poor monk.... must offend you!"

Yao Xin had been silent for decades, and the only thing that made him angry was his hopes destroyed by Chen Yuan. He had wanted to suppress it, but Chen Yuan constantly spoke of making Bright Temple pay a funeral price.

No wonder then, he must convert the man to dispel this particular grudges.

"Too much redundant talk."

Chen Yuan snorted coldly, unwilling to further waste words with someone about to die. The Emperor Slaughter Saber unsheathed, the next moment, the sound of a Dragon Roar erupted, and a hundred feet of Sword Light was wielded forth.

When he made a move, it went all out!

"Amitabha!"

Yao Xin monk joined his hands, behind him, an Arhat True Body formed, reaching out a hand towards the Sword Light slashed by Chen Yuan to suppress it, majestic and powerful.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!!!"
