Chapter 185: Chapter 174 Six Soul Horror Curse

He struck, immediately seizing the upper hand.

Bu Lengchuan, lacking Qing Yu’s "Innate Gang Qi", was likely to become a mutilated corpse in the next instant under the envelopment of Blade Energy.

Seeing that Qing Yu’s team was about to lose a member, Lin Tengyuan’s face suddenly changed. He felt an abnormal tremor in his heart, and his vision became unclear, accompanied by a sudden and inexplicable pain all over his body.

Under such circumstances, as his True Qi faltered, the Blade Energy enveloping Bu Lengchuan lost its force, revealing his body covered in blade marks.

"Hundred Layers Wave, its power is remarkable."

Qing Yu also dispersed his Protective Gang Qi, his hand stained with freshly seeped blood pearls, as he softly praised.

Lin Tengyuan’s Hundred Layered Wave Blade Technique surged like waves, one after another, endlessly. This was a Blade Technique that was highly regarded even among the Six Gates, something Bu Lengchuan had specifically warned about beforehand.

However, this Blade Technique heavily relied on True Qi, the waves of Blade Energy notably draining it. It was for this reason that Qing Yu had devised this plan.

"What exactly did you do?" Lin Tengyuan forcefully mobilized his True Qi, trying to suppress the unusual intense pain, and stared at Qing Yu to ask.

His intuition told him that this was another secret technique employed by the disciples of the Impermanence Divine Constable.

"Take action!"

Qing Yu was not in the mood to talk anymore; his previous chatter was merely for tactical purposes. Now that the plan had succeeded, it was best not to speak too much and risk failure.

Thus, Qing Yu directly signaled Luo Yan and Bu Lengchuan to take advantage of their opponent’s weakness to deliver the killing blow.

Cloud-shocking Wave-breaking!

Following Qing Yu’s signal, Luo Yan wrapped himself with Wind Force and used his ultimate move. Like Qing Yu, he wasn’t showing off before; while Qing Yu was continuously talking, he had been silently channeling his True Qi, accumulating round after round of the Divine Wind Nine Revolutions, ready to unleash his strongest attack now.

On the other side, Bu Lengchuan’s Blade Energy differentiated into numerous fine, bone-piercing small streams of Blade Energy that twisted around the blade, executing the "Dismantling Blade Style" to return the near dismemberment he almost suffered back to Lin Tengyuan.

Qing Yu also once again pushed his True Qi to the utmost limit. His Eightfold True Qi almost corporealized the "Innate Gang Qi," using the most aggressive move of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, "Shocking Hundred Miles", and striking once more.

In such a display of might, Lin Tengyuan, who had already suffered multiple heavy blows, no longer maintained his previous confident demeanor. He again forcefully mobilized his True Qi in an attempt to suppress this unknown secret technique, his prized blade raised and scattering Blade Energy, weaving wave-like Blade Forces around his body to resist all external attacks.

Indeed, as a master of the Divine Origin Realm, even in such dire straits, he could still fend off the all-out attacks of Qing Yu’s trio.

Although the surrounding Blade Energy wasn’t as overwhelmingly vigorous as before, the areas where the Blade Energy condensed were nonetheless powerful, even surpassing the previous might.

However, Qing Yu showed no sign of disappointment on his face; he gave a glance to the other two, and the trio formed a circle, continuously attacking Lin Tengyuan trapped in between.

Lin Tengyuan’s eyes were blood-red, clearly fighting with a resolve to risk it all; he once again mobilized his True Qi forcefully, suppressing the disturbance, fighting fiercely against the three.

Blade Energy dashed across, the wind howled sharply, accompanied occasionally by the sounds of air bursting.

The four men relentlessly battled, the outward leakage of True Qi suppressing the fire surrounding them to the point of nearly extinguishing it.

Facing the siege of three attackers, Lin Tengyuan remained astonishingly composed. Despite his injuries, and while using True Qi to suppress the trauma within his body, he did not falter. Though wounded, he managed to meet their attacks in kind.

However, the longer they tangled, the brighter the gleam in Qing Yu’s eyes grew. Unbeknownst to Lin Tengyuan, the more he channeled his True Qi, the quicker he hastened his own death.

Soon, the awaited moment arrived.

Suddenly feeling a pain far beyond what he had previously endured sweeping over his body, Lin Tengyuan’s movements involuntarily paused, leaving him wide open.

Naturally, Qing Yu and his companions wouldn’t miss this opportunity. Steel blade, soft sword, and iron palm struck simultaneously at his undefended body.

"Qi Dual Flow·Clouds without Rain."

With the execution of rapid, consecutive hand strikes, Qing Yu’s palms alternated in swift succession, each blow landing solidly, his domineering palm force devastating Lin Tengyuan’s body.

Luo Yan and Bu Lengchuan did not hesitate either. The soft sword wound around Lin Tengyuan’s left arm, creating a horrifying injury with flesh peeled back exposing bare bone. Bu Lengchuan, ever ruthless, employed the Dismantling Blade Style Bone Stripping, resulting in flesh being torn and bones gruesomely revealed at the wound.

Surrounded by dangers both internal and external, no matter how strong Lin Tengyuan was, he could not salvage his life. With Qing Yu’s final strike "Kanglong Youhui" hitting his forehead, the force of the palm shook his brain, and this Japanese spy, who had infiltrated the Six Gates for many years, died with his eyes wide open, filled with reluctance.

After Lin Tengyuan’s death, Luo Yan and Bu Lengchuan continued with several more strikes, ensuring he made no further sounds, before finally pausing to catch their breaths.

"Did we... kill him?" Luo Yan, seeing Lin Tengyuan dead, still looked unsure as he sought confirmation from the others.

No wonder he found it hard to believe. Historically, the examples of an Innate Realm martial artist slaying someone from the Divine Origin Realm were extremely few, and the slayers had always been powerful beings at the ultimate threshold of the Innate Realm. For them, three martial artists who had not even touched the peak of the Innate Realm, to kill someone from the Divine Origin Realm seemed impossible even to ponder.

"Yes, he’s dead."

Qing Yu stepped forward and rolled up Lin Tengyuan’s right sleeve, looking at the purplish-red veins spreading across the arm.

This incredible, close-call assassination of Lin Tengyuan was greatly aided by it.

Six Soul Horror Curse, one of the Yin Yang Family’s Eight Spells lethal in every attempt. The curse itself has a potent irritant effect and is accompanied by a catalyst that enhances the power of the Curse Seal. If cast directly, it is easily identified and guarded against. Additionally, it requires direct contact and time to be successfully cast.

Qing Yu also took inspiration from the Great Fate’s strategy in the original story of killing Yan Dan, by disguising himself as Fujita Heijiro to lower Lin Tengyuan’s guard, allowing him to place the Curse Seal on Lin Tengyuan. Moreover, upon discovering that Lin Tengyuan’s right arm was afflicted with the "Golden Silkworm Gu," he placed the Six Soul Horror Curse right there, making Lin Tengyuan think it was an effect of the "Golden Silkworm Gu," thus he did not take it into account.

After the successful casting, this Curse Seal lay dormant within the body and did not take immediate effect. It only caused damage and proved fatal when the internal True Qi was operated.

By deliberately inducing Lin Tengyuan to rapidly channel his True Qi, particularly using the substantial energy-consuming Hundred Layered Wave, he slowly stepped towards his death.

Especially after noticing the anomaly, Lin Tengyuan forcefully circulated his True Qi several times to suppress his injuries and continued to fiercely fight with Qing Yu and the others, making his situation beyond salvation even by a Daluo Immortal.

With all these plots, two deadly poisons, and the lethal Six Soul Horror Curse employed, who else but Lin Tengyuan could have died?

"Lin Tengyuan is dead, we should still search carefully to see if there are any clues left behind. Honestly, I’m still completely in the dark about the Japanese’s plans."
