The Great Qin: Starting with marrying Jingni, I began my quest for immortality.

Chapter 243 The Net of Death

The man in the straw raincoat was unaware that Jiang Chuan's current physical abilities had undergone a tremendous change due to the Fusang Divine Tree. If it were Jiang Chuan before he was attacked by Donghuang Taiyi, he would have unleashed his full power of cold energy to deal with the man in the straw raincoat without hesitation after hearing his words.

But not anymore.

He can no longer use his cold-blooded skills.

As for Yan Gong, he has already reached the realm of extreme power.

Jiang Chuan was somewhat surprised when the man in the straw raincoat pointed out the truth. He could only say that there were still smart people in this world. If he had always been careful and imitated the style of the Blood-Clad Marquis Bai Yifei, he would not have attracted the attention of the man in the straw raincoat and his ilk.

However, he did not do that. Apart from bringing Ru Shuang and Yan Ling Ji to live in the General's Mansion in a grand manner, his other behavior was completely different from Bai Yifei's. If the fact that he initially kept to himself could be explained as Bai Yifei's eccentric personality, then...

Therefore, after he implemented the reforms, such behavior inevitably aroused suspicion from many people.

The straw-clothed traveler arrived at this conclusion through various clues, which was surprising, but upon closer examination, it was also quite reasonable.

Jiang Chuan even went further and made a conjecture.

For the man in the straw raincoat, whether he is the real Bai Yifei or not is actually not important.

More importantly, his actions had alienated many South Korean officials, giving the "Straw-Clad Man" the opportunity to replace him.

Once he gets rid of himself, the Straw-Clothed Man can create a fake Bai Yifei and then take over everything.

Jiang Chuan struck out with his palm, and the scorching palm force suddenly arrived in front of the man in the straw raincoat.

The man in the straw raincoat was of average strength. After sensing the immense danger, he immediately dodged to the side. Even so, he was still injured by the aftershocks of Jiang Chuan's palm strike and was knocked into the reeds.

As for why Jiang Chuan's palm strike didn't kill him...

Naturally, it's because someone intervened.

The lake water burst open.

A figure dressed in black attacked with a sword.

This sword is extremely fast.

The sword energy was condensed and did not dissipate, and it was filled with a chilling evil aura. Just as Jiang Chuan's palm force was about to land on the man in the straw raincoat, the opponent's sword energy appeared and directly dispersed Jiang Chuan's palm force.

Then, he shifted his sword and thrust it towards Jiang Chuan.

Jiang Chuan withdrew his hand and waved it in front of him. Instantly, a scorching aura surged out from his body again, transforming into a crimson protective shield that enveloped his body.

The opponent's sword struck the protective aura, immediately creating ripples.

However, they ultimately failed to break through Jiang Chuan's protective aura.

"Disperse!"

Jiang Chuan uttered a single word, and his protective aura exploded outwards with an overwhelming and unstoppable force. A terrifying heat wave swept through, and the figure that had been hiding in the lake was immediately thrown away, forced to retreat. His toes lightly touched the surface of the lake, creating ripples, before he stepped onto a piece of driftwood on the water.

Jiang Chuan stood quietly, his eyes meeting those of the figure standing on the driftwood.

Finally, he withdrew his gaze and glanced at the straw-clad man struggling to his feet in the reeds. "Is this your confidence?"

"One of the top-ranking members of the Luo Wang (Net of Heaven)!"

"It seems that what you said back then was a lie from the beginning. The Qin State's Luo Wang was purged, but it didn't affect you at all. You are still connected with Luo Wang."

"I admit that Luo Wang is quite strong, but for a mere first-class Heavenly Rank member to try and take Nightfall from me is still... wishful thinking."

The man in the straw raincoat was injured by the aftershocks of Jiang Chuan's palm strike and looked somewhat disheveled. Jiang Chuan's strength startled him, but he felt no fear.

“One of the top-ranking members of the Luo Wang organization is certainly not enough to deal with you. After all, there is another top-ranking member of the Luo Wang organization behind you. That woman should be your greatest source of confidence.”

"So, by the time you arrived here, someone had already taken care of her."

The man in the straw raincoat thought that these words would unsettle Jiang Chuan.

Because that woman was not just a top-ranking member of the Luo Wang organization who betrayed them, but also Jiang Chuan's wife, who had given birth to his child.

But to his surprise, Jiang Chuan's expression remained unchanged.

He didn't even bother to pay attention to the man in the straw raincoat.

Instead, he drew the sword hanging at his waist.

Blood-Clad Marquis Bai Yifei possesses two swords, one red and one white.

『.?.

The white sword is called "Snow," and the red sword is called "Blood." In the past, Jiang Chuan had used both swords simultaneously, demonstrating his skill in wielding both ice and charcoal in front of the Baiyue assassin group.

Unfortunately, even Jiang Chuan did not expect that the method he used back then was actually limited.

The path of cultivating both ice and fire that he had initially sought did not last long, as it was forced to be abandoned due to an accident.

But Jiang Chuan still found a new path within it.

During his trip to Mount Shu, he was baptized by the Fusang Divine Tree, which completely eliminated the cold energy in his body. His originally cold blood was transformed into extremely hot blood. It was this change that enabled him to understand the principles of Yin and Yang.

After witnessing the power of the Fusang Divine Tree and glimpsing a corner of the Yu Abyss, he understood why the Yin-Yang School ancestors named their school Yin-Yang School after obtaining a portion of the Shu Mountain inheritance and laying the foundation for the Yin-Yang School.

... .... .......

This is because the Fusang Divine Tree is the dwelling place of the Golden Crow and is the ultimate yang in the world.

The place where Yu Yuan is located is where the sun sets, the place of ultimate yin in the world.

These two are mutually opposed yet coexist in the Shu Mountains, representing Yin and Yang on a physical level.

In addition, Jiang Chuan also comprehended the principle of Yin-Yang transformation.

Yin and Yang are not mutually exclusive; they can also transform into each other.

Just like his cold blood, which can be transformed into hot blood.

Furthermore, his inner magic weapon is a yin-yang diagram for every single matter.

It is clear that the way of Yin and Yang is the way for his future.

The ice and fire techniques I cultivated earlier, if we broaden our understanding, are precisely Yin and Yang!

At the moment, Jiang Chuan is not wielding two swords at the same time. Ultimately, it's because he's not used to using two swords; one sword is enough.

The crimson sword was drawn, and the smell of blood filled the air. He lightly touched the ground with his toes, and his body suddenly appeared above the first-class Heavenly Rank of the Luo Wang. Jiang Chuan did not know what kind of sword the other party was wielding, after all, he did not know much about swords.

In any case, judging from the aura emanating from the other party, it should be correct to identify him as a top-tier member of the Luo Wang (Net of Heaven).

Jiang Chuan unleashed a sword strike, its light sweeping down upon the surrounding area.

Chapter 244 Powerful Strike

Faced with Jiang Chuan's imposing sword strike.

Standing on the driftwood, Luo Wang Tianzi No. 1's gaze remained cold and unchanged.

As a member of the Luo Wang organization, he had killed countless people and faced countless dangerous situations. Although Jiang Chuan was very strong, he was still not strong enough to move him.

The man swung his sword, and in an instant, sinister energy erupted once more, meeting Jiang Chuan's sword light.

boom! !

The two sword lights collided, and a powerful surge of energy swept outwards.

The driftwood beneath the man's feet suddenly sank, but quickly, with the man's powerful strength, the driftwood suddenly rose again, and the water around it was splashed out.

He swung his sword again, the sword light swirling with the splashing water as it flew towards Jiangchuan.

Every wisp and drop of water contained the man's sword energy. The densely packed water flowed in three, four, and seven streams, like a barrage of arrows, carrying an unstoppable sharpness.

Jiang Chuan was in mid-air, his internal energy circulating like a blazing sun, instantly releasing terrifying light and heat.

Although his level of attainment remained at the Grandmaster level.

However, his foundation, after being tempered by the powerful energy accumulated by the Fusang Divine Tree over thousands of years, has reached an unbelievable level. Even a Grandmaster's foundation may not be stronger than his.

In an instant, as Jiang Chuan released his inner power, the surrounding temperature soared. The top-ranking members of the Luo Wang organization, as well as the man in the straw raincoat not far away, and the Luo Wang members who had been summoned by the man in the straw raincoat to disguise themselves as Bai Yifei, all felt as if they were in a furnace, unbearably hot.

The water containing sword energy, manipulated by the top-ranking members of the Luo Wang (a powerful organization), was evaporated completely before it even got close to the river.

The sword energy contained within was also dissolved by Jiang Chuan's terrifying power after it lost its vessel.

Although it didn't explode with just one more glance, Jiang Chuan was indeed melting if he got any closer.

"Such skill?"

The man with the sword was moved.

Previously, he had no particular feelings about Jiang Chuan, only that Jiang Chuan, though strong, was still within his capabilities.

But at this moment, after Jiang Chuan unleashed the powerful force within him without reservation, his expression finally changed.

Is such skill truly something that the person before me could possess?

He felt as if he were facing a mountain or a vast ocean, and his own existence was like that of an ant or a small boat in the ocean. Under the impact of Jiang Chuan's terrifying power, the man was in extreme pain.

However, he was, after all, a top-tier member of the Luo Wang organization, and even though he sensed Jiang Chuan's strength, he remained fearless.

Instead, he chose to concentrate all his strength and thrust out the sword in his hand.

Admittedly, Jiang Chuan is very powerful, but he has killed enemies who were even stronger than himself in the past. Powerful skill does not necessarily mean that his martial arts skills are exquisite and powerful.
