641: Chapter 639 First Training

The moment the Flying Boat's light barrier shattered, both Tian Xiong and Tian Yong felt a jolt of shock.

They truly could not believe that Zhou Fan had not only survived but had also approached them without making a sound.

"Kill!"

The two reacted quickly; the moment their hearts were shaken, they struck out in unison.

But in the very next instant, a powerful Aura of the Tianyuan Realm spread from Chu Xuan, sweeping in all directions, causing the Flying Boat to shudder abruptly and plummet downwards.

Tian Xiong and Tian Yong subconsciously ceased their attacks, their legs trembling, their faces filled with sheer terror.

"T-Tianyuan?!" Their teeth chattered, their eyes filled with disbelief, mixed with deep fear, and their legs could not stop shaking.

Chu Xuan couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

He had only consumed 1000 points of spirituality value to convert into True Qi on his way here, so the Aura he was currently projecting had not depleted him much.

However, the two people in front of him were like mice seeing a cat; they couldn't even muster the slightest will to resist.

But in a flash, Chu Xuan understood.

These Martial Artists had deeply ingrained concepts regarding the strength hierarchy within the Martial Artist Realm system.

These two were only at the Peak of the Renyuan Realm, still a bit far from the Diyuan Realm.

At this moment, the Tianyuan Realm that Chu Xuan displayed without reservation undoubtedly made the two instantly realize the gap between them.

There was no need for any extra effort; merely releasing his Aura was enough to terrify them and make them lose any thought of resistance.

Boom!

The Flying Boat crashed into a large river below, splashing up towering waves, drifting like a lone leaf, rolling and tossing in the turbulent river water.

The three people on the boat, however, were completely unaffected.

"Don't kill us!"

Tian Yong was the first to snap out of it, kowtowing immediately: "Young Alliance Leader Zhou Fan, we were forced! We never wanted to be your enemy; all of this was forced upon us by Young Alliance Leader Qi Yun. Please, spare our lives..."

Seeing that Tian Yong had knelt without any backbone, Tian Xiong's expression changed, but he then followed suit, kneeling and trembling: "That's right, it was all forced by Young Alliance Leader Qi Yun!"

"Forced you? It seems you were left with no choice..."

Chu Xuan's voice sounded slightly hesitant, as if he were wavering on whether or not to kill them.

Tian Xiong and Tian Yong exchanged a furtive glance, a trace of imperceptible joy flashing in their eyes, while simultaneously feeling a hint of contempt for the indecisiveness Chu Xuan was currently displaying.

But at that moment, Chu Xuan's voice suddenly turned cold: "Aren't you just hunting me down because you covet Young Alliance Leader Qi Yun's Blazing Sun Method?"

Tian Xiong's face turned pale, and he stammered.

Tian Yong's body trembled, and he quickly said: "That was just a bribe. Since Young Alliance Leader Qi Yun found us, if we didn't comply, we would definitely have been killed to silence us."

"Yes, yes, yes! That's exactly it!" Tian Xiong quickly chimed in.

Tian Yong continued: "Young Alliance Leader Zhou Fan, after all, you have made many contributions and were once designated as the successor by Alliance Leader Ming Zhen; you still have some prestige in the Alliance. Young Alliance Leader Qi Yun is vicious; he wants to kill you but doesn't want to tarnish his own reputation, which is why he had us chase you down..."

At this point, Tian Yong paused, and when he spoke again, his eyes were brimming with tears: "But we two have both received great kindness from Alliance Leader Ming Zhen, and we watched you grow up all along; we have long had the intention to follow you. However, Young Alliance Leader Qi Yun is simply too strong, so we had to play along and accept this mission."

Tian Xiong chimed in again: "Yes, Tian Yong is right!"

"We did not want to see you perish prematurely, so during this pursuit, we held back many times. You must have felt it, right?"

Tian Yong took a deep breath, his eyes red, filled with genuine emotion: "The reason for this was actually to stimulate your potential, allowing you to constantly have a Breakthrough in life-or-death situations. Now it seems our efforts were truly not in vain! You have not only restored your Peak, but your Martial Artist cultivation has also advanced by leaps and bounds, stepping into the Tianyuan Realm in one leap. I... I am so moved!"

By the end, Tian Yong was sobbing uncontrollably, tears streaming down his face.

Tian Xiong was slightly stunned, but managed to squeeze out two tears, choking out: "I am so moved."

Watching this clumsy performance by the two, a trace of mockery flashed in Chu Xuan's eyes: "So, you're saying I misunderstood you?"

Tian Xiong nodded repeatedly: "Young Alliance Leader, you indeed misunderstood."

Tian Yong, however, said: "Young Alliance Leader is exceptionally wise; you must have understood everything long ago, and understood our good intentions."

Chu Xuan nodded, his tone slightly sentimental: "Truly good intentions indeed... It seems that not only are you without fault, but you have also performed a service; I should reward you instead..."

Tian Yong and Tian Xiong both revealed smiles, as if they had already seen a glimmer of hope for survival.

But the very next second, Chu Xuan's voice turned cold again: "The reason you didn't kill me, wasn't that Young Alliance Leader Qi Yun's arrangement?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of Tian Yong and Tian Xiong turned deathly pale. They immediately realized that Chu Xuan hadn't just arrived, but had been following them the whole time, and their entire conversation had been overheard.

Tian Xiong stammered, his heart trembling violently.

Tian Yong's expression shifted, and then he gritted his teeth: "I dare not hide anything from you, Young Alliance Leader. All of this was indeed Young Alliance Leader Qi Yun's arrangement, but in the end, we did these things out of helplessness; we had no choice!"

Tian Yong bowed again: "Young Alliance Leader Qi Yun is ruthless and incomparably vicious; he is ultimately not a wise master."

"Now that you have advanced to the Tianyuan Realm, we no longer need to fear Young Alliance Leader Qi Yun. We are willing to follow you, expose the ugly face of Young Alliance Leader Qi Yun for you, and help you regain the position of Young Alliance Leader!"

"Me too!" Tian Xiong also bowed down.

Chu Xuan gave a faint sneer: "What use do I have for treacherous villains?"

Upon hearing this, the two could not help but show panic.

Immediately after, they felt a vast force pressing down upon them. They subconsciously looked up and saw a large hand gathered from True Qi descending upon them.

Slap!

The Flying Boat sank slightly on the river surface; Tian Xiong was gripped in the hand like a chick and was instantly crushed to death.

In an instant, blood mist filled the air!

However, the True Qi hand did not dissipate, condensing and fixing this blood and filth in mid-air, making Tian Yong's heart jump with terror as he looked up.

Chu Xuan flicked his finger lightly.

As a wisp of Fire of Nirvana shot out, it instantly swept over Tian Xiong's shattered corpse, burning it completely in the blink of an eye.

[Your spirituality value +9500, your rule fragment +2]

This scene falling into Tian Yong's eyes simply made him feel despair; his fear of Chu Xuan went deep into his marrow.

In his feeling, Chu Xuan was simply a devil.

He could have simply killed them directly, but he chose to repeatedly give them hope, only to crush that hope, playing with them in the palm of his hand.

At this moment, Tian Yong's entire body went limp; he had completely lost the desire to live.

"We Martial Artists, even if we are outmatched, should still have the courage to throw a punch."

Chu Xuan's gaze was cold: "My Heavenly Dao Alliance aims to overthrow the Great Cang Dynasty and the four great Sects to save the common people of the world; how could there be cowards like you among us?"

Tian Yong lowered his head, faltering: "The world is chaotic, and human life is as worthless as grass. I joined the Heavenly Dao Alliance mostly because I didn't want to become an abandoned pawn of the four Sects; it was all just to survive."

At this point, Tian Yong's face was ashen, and he said miserably: "Young Alliance Leader, if you want to kill me, then kill me. I know I have no way out, so you don't need to play with me anymore."

"Good, then I will give you a chance to live."

As soon as Chu Xuan said this, Tian Yong sighed and closed his eyes, but immediately opened them again, his eyes filled with disbelief: "You... are you really willing to spare my life?"

Chu Xuan's tone was normal: "That depends on whether you can seize the opportunity."

Tian Yong was overjoyed, the desire to live reignited, and he kowtowed repeatedly: "As long as Young Alliance Leader is willing to spare my life, no matter what you want me to do, I will do my best."

While speaking, Tian Yong's mood was extremely anxious, fearing the loss of this chance, terrified that Chu Xuan was still playing with him this time.

A slave seal was quietly placed.

Tian Yong's expression was slightly dazed.

Under this continuous agitation of emotions, even with his martial intent fusing his spirit and body into one, he was still controlled in his mind by Chu Xuan through [Enslavement].

"There is no need for mental pressure; repeated verbal training can also enslave..."

Chu Xuan's mouth curled up slightly.
