Chapter 283 Die Aggrieved

Elder Sun’s aura surged out, and a huge cyclone appeared behind him .

That cyclone was only a couple dozen meters in diameter, and furthermore, it wasn’t a perfect circle . Instead, it seemed to be squashed slightly .

Most importantly, that cyclone was a cyclone, and completely different from Long Chen’s divine ring . Long Chen’s divine ring was translucent, its light similar to a rainbow .

But this cyclone Elder Sun had condensed was vaguely solid, almost like congee .

Long Chen’s jaw dropped . Looking at that ‘divine ring’ behind Elder Sun, he was filled with disbelief .

Seeing Long Chen’s shock, Elder Sun laughed madly . “How is it? Are you shocked? This Superior Must Kill Rebel divine technique you taught me is a hundred times stronger in my hands!”

Elder Sun could sense that after the ‘divine ring’ behind him appeared, all the surrounding spiritual qi could be absorbed by him .

That was something fundamentally impossible for him to do previously . With such a cultivation technique, his cultivation speed would skyrocket .

Most importantly, he had been stuck at the peak of Bone Forging for many years now . But once he had formed this ‘divine ring’, he had clearly felt his bottleneck loosen a great deal .

According to his estimation, it wouldn’t be long before he could advance to Meridian Opening, becoming an expert on the same level as Tu Fang . Then he could roam anywhere under the heavens .

In fact, he was even having an urge to start up his own sect . With that kind of strength, he was qualified to start up a second-tier sect . Why would he need to be mistreated here?

And so the first thing he thought of was Long Chen . Just thinking of Long Chen made clench his teeth in anger .

He knew Long Chen’s relationship with senior apprentice-brother Wan was pretty good . Currently senior apprentice-brother Wan was in seclusion, and so he had just gotten a worker to secretly send Long Chen a letter for Long Chen to meet him here .

And Long Chen had actually come to meet him . That delighted Elder Sun . As long as he could kill Long Chen now, he could keep this cultivation technique secret to himself .

Long Chen looked at Elder Sun with a complicated expression . He sighed . “How did you end up doing this?”

“Haha, of course I just followed that cultivation technique you gave me . Did you really think I was senile? I easily saw through your little trick!” sneered Elder Sun .

“What do you mean?”

“What do I mean? Hehe, the technique you gave me really is not bad . You deliberately marked what direction I was supposed to circulate my qi .

“When I saw that, I was extremely curious why you would so meticulously mark that . Then I realized you were trying to trick me, and that the path you indicated had been reversed!

“Hmph, I’ve lived for almost a hundred years . Did you think your insignificant trick would work on me? I tested that reversed circulation path, and as I expected, it worked perfectly! Brat, now you can die contentedly!” said Elder Sun sinisterly .

Long Chen really was absolutely shocked . In reality, the technique he had given Elder Sun had been completely real . The circulation path had also been completely correction .

But this old fellow hadn’t trusted him and had actually modified a part of it . It was no wonder his ‘divine ring’ was so bizarre .

Long Chen sighed . “Looks like in your pettiness, you ended up misjudging me . The cultivation technique I gave you was completely real . I didn’t modify any of it . ”

“Hmph, do you think saying these things right before you die will change anything?”

Long Chen was too lazy to bother with him . But this Elder Sun really was a prodigy . Even though he was circulating the technique in reverse, he was still able to form a divine ring . That really was out of his expectations .

Elder Sun’s aura was incredibly powerful now . It was at least several times stronger than before . With that kind of strength, he absolutely could easily kill Long Chen .

And yet Long Chen’s expression didn’t contain the slightest panic . He was completely calm, with only a trace of pity .

“Did you know? As soon as I received your letter, I knew that it was you . Senior apprentice-brother Wan has just been promoted to become an Elder . If he really wanted to talk to me, he definitely wouldn’t arrange for a meeting like this . He would have paid a personal visit,” said Long Chen .

“Hehe, unfortunately, you’ve still come,” said Elder Sun disdainfully .

“That’s right, I still came . That’s because I’m very curious why someone who should have already died was still able to fake a letter . That’s why I came . ”

“What do you mean?” Elder Sun first stiffened before raging .

“What I mean is that you should have already died . The fact that you’ve alive is quite surprising to me, so I wanted to come take a look,” explained Long Chen .

Elder Sun didn’t know why, but looking at Long Chen’s calm expression, he felt a trace of terror .

“Stop wasting time . Just die!”

Elder Sun roared and his aura exploded out . He sent a palm crashing at Long Chen .

BANG!

Blood spurted through the air .

Elder Sun blankly stared at his own body . He was now lying on the ground .

From the chest down, his body had completely disappeared . The ground around him was covered with blood and flesh .

Long Chen slowly moved aside a large shield he had just placed in front of him . Looking at the gore on the shield, he hesitated for a moment before just directly throwing the shield away .

“What… is… going on…?” Elder Sun only had two arms and a head now .

An ordinary cultivator would definitely be dead already, but Elder Sun was Bone Forging expert, and there was a great deal of energy contained within his arms . He would be able to hang on for a moment .

However, he was definitely doomed to die for sure now . The energy in his arms would only be enough to sustain him for a short moment .

“Ugh, really, why bother? The technique I gave you was completely correct . If you had just cultivated in it properly, you would have gotten to die within your own home . But by circulating the qi in reverse and then calling me out here, were you planning on disgusting me one last time with your death?”

“Long Chen, I admit defeat . I’m about to die, so can you at least let me understand my own death?” Elder Sun was completely ashen now .

He felt as if he had died too wrongly . His last desire was to know why he had died .

Long Chen hesitated for a moment . In reality, Long Chen truly detested this fellow . In fact, Elder Sun had just been wanting to kill him .

With his temperament, did Elder Sun really think Long Chen gave a damn if he died without understanding?

But looking at the current Elder Sun, a grand eight-temper Bone Forging expert, dying just like this, Long Chen couldn’t help sighing .

“In truth, you just died because of your greed . In this world, there are some things that will never be yours, and if forcibly try to take them, you’ll end up like you are right now .

“Have you not heard that I’m a cultivator without a Spirit Root? In reality, I don’t just not have a Spirit Root, I also don’t have a Dantian .

“My cultivation technique is something only people without a Dantian can cultivate in . People with a Dantian who attempt to reach Qi Condensation with this technique will be like an ignited firecracker, and their Dantian will automatically explode .

“If you had just followed the correct circulation, you would have had just the slightest chance to survive . But even if you could survive, your Dantian definitely would not have .

“But you decided to think yourself smart, training in it with a reverse circulation . That resulted in that incredibly weird cyclone ring of yours . You thought that weird cyclone was correct?

“I’d guess that as soon as you succeeded, you didn’t even test your power before impatiently asking me to come here .

“That little circle of yours might have appeared formidable, but that’s just an outer force . As soon as you attempted to use it, that had required your Dantian .

“The instant your Dantian attempted to draw its power, that outer power flooded your Dantian, and then, bang! You explode . ”

Long Chen had really given him the correct circulation path of the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art . But that circulation method was only for use in Qi Condensation . It was something that was used for preparing to condense the FengFu Star .

Elder Sun naturally didn’t know that there could be someone who could cultivate without a Dantian . And so he had attempted to modify the technique . Long Chen really had to admire Elder Sun’s stupid courage .

To be able to form that weird ring by reversing the flow of qi was definitely not bad . Long Chen really had not expected that .

Long Chen went and grabbed Elder Sun’s spatial ring . He took out the four black zirconiums, placing them on the ground .

“Look carefully at these four words,” said Long Chen .

“Must Kill Rebel Superior . Are you an idiot?”[1]

Elder Sun finally realized the truth . He had really completely fallen for Long Chen’s trap . Glaring at Long Chen, his eyes were filled with hatred and unwillingness .

“Long Chen, you little bastard, you’re just a devil! Even when I’m dead, I’ll definitely still haunt you in the middle of the night! Just you wait…”

Elder Sun finally ran out of energy, dying . But even after he died, his eyes were still ferociously glaring at Long Chen .

Patting off the dust, Long Chen muttered to himself, “Damnit, why does everything always happen to me? Even in death, he still wants to scare me . Too bad for you, but my guts not that weak . ”

Looking around, he found a hole and directly tossed Elder Sun’s remaining corpse inside . Then he just randomly kicked a bit of dirt into the hole, burying him .

“You’re definitely just a piece of crap, but once a person dies, all their debts are over . Luckily for you, you at least gave me some good stuff before dying . So I won’t bicker with you . I’ll bury you here, and the business between us is settled . If you really refuse to accept that and become some evil spirit, come find me at any time . I’ll definitely teach you a couple new techniques that will let you really rest in peace!”

Long Chen didn’t waste any more time here and returned to the monastery . Within this secluded valley, occasionally bursts of autumn wind would blow by, almost sounding like a sobbing sound .

Three days later, the monastery sent out news that Elder Sun had disappeared . But there wasn’t much shock towards his disappearance .

That was because Tu Fang had announced that Elder Sun had already resigned from his Elder position and left voluntarily .

That caused everyone to feel that it was no wonder Elder Sun had been acting oddly the past few days . He had constantly been rushing around, and he had even sold off his possessions for low prices . It seemed he had decided to change jobs .

As for why he wanted to change jobs, nobody found it that odd . Ever since his display in that battle, his status had plummeted .

His reward was cut in half, and his lucrative post as head of Xuantian pavilion had also been taken away . It was obvious that there was no further path of advancement for him within the Xuantian Monastery . The fact that he would leave was just normal .

Although Tu Fang didn’t know how Elder Sun had just disappeared, Tu Fang could guess that it was just his fate . Elder Sun must not have wanted to have a long life since he had dared to fight against a Divergent .

And so Tu Fang had suppressed this matter, not wanting it to affect the monastery’s regular operations .

Long Chen was also well aware of that . He suspected that Tu Fang had figured out some clues, but he also didn’t care .

It had already been a month since the battle, and everyone’s cultivation bases had been soaring . But he was still stuck in the same bottleneck . That was definitely unacceptable . He had to cultivate .

After saying goodbye to Tang Wan-er, Long Chen went alone to a familiar mountain which black clouds always gathered around .

[1] The name of this technique and the pun the author is making doesn’t really translate into English . In order, these are the characters that are written on the stones: 逆弑杀必 . It is a phonetic pun, sounding the same as 你是傻逼, meaning “You’re an idiot . ” I tried to do a kind of pun on words with the English .
