Longevity: Starting from the Qi Tags

Chapter 43: Jiang Yuan Takes Action 1

Translator: 549690339

Meanwhile, on the canyon top.

A business caravan was walking their horses, headed leisurely towards Lin’an County.

This caravan belonged to the Civilian Chamber of Commerce.

Just recently returned from an overseas trading journey.

For trade caravans, such a journey took no less than ten days to half a month, sometimes even up to a year and a half.

Each journey brought in substantial profits.

However, they often faced dangers on these open roads.

The most recent cargo that the Civilian Chamber of Commerce traded for was full of food supplies.

Lin’an County had an abundance of various medicinal herbs due to being surrounded by mountains on all sides.

However, their food supply was always in deficit.

They always had to buy food from other places and transport it to Lin’an County each year.

That, too, was a steady source of income for the Civilian Trading Business.

All of a sudden.

Jia Wandao’s expression turned to shock.

“Jiang Yuan? I must be hearing things!” he said.

In an instant, he lifted his hand, “Manager Fu, order them to stop!” “Chairman, what’s wrong?”

“We’ll rest here for a bit, but keep quiet,” Jia Wandao said with a grave expression.

“Yes, Chairman!”

Then Jia Wandao turned to a tall and lean man and said, “Ritual Officer Zhao, did you hear the noises coming from over there?”

Ritual Officer Zhao nodded gravely, “Jiang Yuan… the vice leader… something big might be happening down in the valley.”

“Exactly! Shall we go to check?”

“Alright!”

As their words fell, the two of them sprang into action.

In the next moment, they arrived at an overhanging treetop above the canyon.

The sight below them instantly shocked them.

“As I suspected, Jiang Yuan was stopped by the leader of the Black Wind Tribe, ” Jia Wandao spoke softly.

“It seems that Jiang Yuan, this heaven genius, might fall like a shooting star!”

Jia Wandao shook his head.

“Maybe not!”

“Chairman, you believe in Jiang Yuan that much?”

“Don’t you see it? He intentionally attracted the Black Wind Tribe’s leader with an openly visible convoy.”

“Well…that’s true!” Ritual Officer Zhao slipped into deep thought, “In that case, Jiang Yuan should have some kind of support, but what could possibly enable him not to fear a top-tier Body Forging Realm Nine expert?”

“We’ll see as we keep watching. Remember we shouldn’t be discovered by them!”

“Don’t worry, Chairman! I’ve been around long enough to know better!”

At that moment.

The head of the Black Wind Tribe stood on a bare rock.

His eyes were filled with malicious gleam and murderous intent as he looked at the convoy surrounded by his minions.

On the other side.

The numerous convoy escorts drew their weapons in tension when they saw the swooping bandits, making a dazzling array of cold lights.

They couldn’t help feeling tense.

Each of them tightened their grip on their sword, their eyes firmly fixed on their surroundings.

This was their first time escorting a convoy in their lives and also their first encounter with robbers.

Moreover, the leader of the gang was a Body Forging Realm Nine strongman, and their hearts were filled with unease.

Meanwhile, the status panel of the big boss of the Black Wind Tribe appeared before Jiang Yuan’s eyes.

[Name]: Ning Buqi

[Realm]: Body Forging Realm Nine

[Innate Fate]: Good at Fist and Palm Skills (White) Iron Body (White) Heart of the Buddha (White)

[Good at Fist and Palm Skills]: Possesses decent talent in fist and palm techniques.

[Iron Body]: Naturally tough skin and strong bones that can withstand far more physical blows than average people.

[Heart of the Buddha]: Has buddhist sounds in the heart, making it easier to understand the techniques of the Buddha Gate.

After reviewing his status panel, Jiang Yuan only wanted to say one thing.

I’ve got a steady hold on this!

Then he smirked sarcastically, “You really are a fool, didn’t you wonder why I left the city knowing you were coming?”

Ning Buqi was taken aback, then burst into hearty laughter.

“Still trying to lie to me right before your death? No matter what you say today, you must pay with your life for my younger brother!” Jiang Yuan shook his head slightly, his eyes became focused.

The next moment.

Ning Buqi suddenly changed his expression, showing seriousness on his face. Word by word, he said, “Martial—Arts—True—Intent!”

“I have underestimated you!”

He then raised his head to look at the sky.

At this moment, he had already fallen into Jiang Yuan’s spiritual world.

The originally clear sky above his head had become dark and overcast, and endless thunderclouds gathered on his head.

The wind rose suddenly, the sand and stones were flying.

The sound of the big trees cracking with a “snap” was heard and within moments they were swept into the sky by the roaring wind.

The bandits below were instantly confused, running around in fear.

Meanwhile, the alert bodyguards suddenly looked surprised, extremely puzzled.

In their eyes, those ferocious Black Wind Tribe bandits had suddenly gone mad.

They discarded their helmets and armors, wailed like ghosts and wolves, and ran around in place.

“What a powerful martial arts true intent! The Young Master has become stronger again!” Gu MO said in awe.

On the other hand, Ning Buqi suddenly shouted, “Don’t be afraid!”

These three words exploded like thunder in the ears of those bandits.

In an instant, they regained their sanity.

They quickly raised their heads to look at the Grand Master who was standing on the boulder.

Ning Buqi continued, “What you see right now is just an illusion, do not panic, I will break his martial arts true intent.”

At this moment.

Boom!

With a loud roar, the sky turned white suddenly.

A thick bolt of lightning fell from the sky and landed among the crowd of bandits.

The crowd was thrown into chaos for a moment, and when they came back to their senses.

Their faces turned pale, shivering uncontrollably.

Those bandit brothers who had just been struck by lightning had turned into charred corpses.

“This… this is not an illusion! This is real, God is punishing us!”

Some people broke down instantly, wailing like ghosts and howling like wolves.

At the same time, the thunder overhead was rolling and there were constant roars.

Boom—

Bolts of thunderbolt cut across the sky, falling from the heaven.

“Bold!” Ning Buqi shouted, “Let me break this martial arts true intent illusion of yours.”

As soon as his words fell, he instantly put his hands together.

His body suddenly emitted a dazzling golden light.

A golden Buddha condensed behind him, its body kept enlarging, as if it was about to burst the heaven and earth.

Jiang Yuan laughed, “All show and no substance!”

Over the past month, ever since his Wind Thunder Sword’s martial arts true intent has neared perfection.

Through the refinement of martial arts true intent, the rate at which his spirit grew surprised even him.

Compared to before, it has increased exponentially, his martial arts true intent now was not something he could break.

The next moment.

With his thought.

The thunderclouds in the sky changed dramatically and swiftly converged above Ning Buqi.

In an instant, a bolt of red and white lightning fell from the sky, illuminating the mountains and forests as if it was daytime.

“Bring it on!” Ning Buqi shouted.

The Buddha figure behind him merged with him, slowly reaching out to the sky.

This scene, although seemingly reaching out to the sky, was actually a collision of martial arts true intents, a clash of psychic forces.

Boom—

With a loud bang.

The golden Buddha stood still, looking untouched.

Ning Buqi suddenly burst out laughing, “Jiang Yuan, your martial arts true intent is just like this! If this is your only skill, you will be buried here today to atone for my brother’s life!”
