Chapter 310: Isn't This Your Wife?
Chapter 310: Isn't This Your Wife?
A stir arose within the Martial Arts Alliance Branch.
Qi Yuan's martial prowess, even within the Martial Arts Limit, was no ordinary feat.
More importantly, he was so young.
Many Martial Artists from the Alliance approached, eager to befriend Qi Yuan.
However, Qi Yuan showed no interest in these advances.
Casually, he remarked, "The water in the hotel is boiling; I need to rush back to cook some noodles."
With that, he turned and left the Alliance Branch.
The other Martial Artists exchanged glances, perplexed by this scene.
Even those who had seen Qi Yuan outside earlier now wore puzzled expressions.
"This Martial Artist... is a bit strange."
"If I remember correctly, he seems to have a mental illness."
"Huh? Does his behavior really indicate a problem?"
"Could he have damaged his mind through martial practice?"
"God opened a window for him, but closed his door."
Their gazes shifted to Qi Yuan, transforming from envy to pity.
High martial talent was indeed enviable.
But... if one is afflicted with a mental illness, what good is such talent? Strength without self-awareness would only lead to becoming a puppet in someone else's hands, a mere money-making tool.
Thus, a sound mind is truly valuable.
Qi Yuan departed from the Alliance Branch, followed by Bei He Han Xianyun.
Yang Shan stayed behind to chat with old friends, as he was acquainted with some within the Alliance.
Han Xianyun walked alongside Qi Yuan, and the two left together.
At that moment, Han Xianyun's mind was filled with countless questions.
"Your martial talent is even stronger than mine; could you be the second coming of Luo Bufen?"
Han Xianyun stood shoulder to shoulder with Qi Yuan.
After all, for hundreds of years, no one in the martial world had surpassed the Martial Arts Limit.
If Qi Yuan broke this limit, it would undoubtedly shake the entire martial world.
"My talent is actually average; my current strength is entirely due to my own hard work!" Qi Yuan spoke honestly.
His martial talent was originally just moderate.
His exceptional skill stemmed from his dedication to gaming.
"You're being modest; effort is indeed valuable in ordinary circles, but in the martial world, talent reigns supreme."
Han Xianyun spoke, "The gap between people is even greater than that between humans and dogs."
Han Xianyun also hailed from an old noble family.
However, he had an older brother.
The "throne" belonged to his elder brother, so he couldn't proactively enter his brother's circle. Instead, he chose to mingle in the niche world of martial arts.
This was a form of self-preservation.
After all, his brother was thirteen years older, currently in his prime. How could he possibly compete if he harbored ambitions to challenge his brother?
The Qi Yuan before him gave off a peculiar vibe, always seeming somewhat mysterious.
Even the fortune teller from before had muttered enigmatic words.
Initially, he thought it was all a ploy directed at him.
But now, it didn't seem that way.
"There's still some time before the Martial Arts Tournament. Will you be in Longtai during this period? Do you want me to guide you around the city? Longtai has many Martial Holy Lands, which are like a paradise for Martial Artists."
Qi Yuan replied, "This is possible. After I get married, I must go on a honeymoon."
His response, however, made no sense to Han Xianyun.
Han Xianyun paused, recalling Qi Yuan's previous display of a mental illness certificate and the rumors within the Alliance.
This Qi Yuan... couldn't actually have a mental illness, could he?
Otherwise, why was communication so challenging?
Suddenly, Han Xianyun asked, "Who goes to the hospital every day?"
Qi Yuan stared at him as if he were an idiot, "You've been watching too many videos; my mental illness is fake, not real."
Hearing this, Han Xianyun breathed a sigh of relief; a mentally ill person couldn't possibly say such things.
"I must have misunderstood."
"As for who goes to the hospital daily... there shouldn't be anyone, not even since the beginning of time." Qi Yuan answered.
Time passed slowly.
Hospitals weren't always available.
How could anyone possibly go to the hospital every day?
For instance, who went to the hospital before the creation of the heavens and earth?
Hearing this, Han Xianyun was dumbfounded.
But wasn't the mental illness fake?
Why was his speech so incoherent?
He was definitely, absolutely insane!
Just then, Han Xianyun's eyes widened slightly, "Did you hear that strange sound?"
Han Xianyun looked towards the alley ahead.
The alley was empty and silent.
Yet, for some reason, he felt a peculiar voice had just emanated from there.
"A sound?"
Qi Yuan's gaze followed Han Xianyun's, with a curious expression.
"I didn't hear anything, but... we can go take a look."
Qi Yuan truly hadn't heard any unusual sounds.
However, as he followed Han Xianyun's gaze, he sensed something amiss.
"Okay."
Han Xianyun didn't hesitate and headed straight for the narrow alley with Qi Yuan.
The alley was not spacious and was rather dirty. Not far away, next to a flowerpot, there was a dried-up dog poop on the ground, its moisture indicating it had been there for some time.
Han Xianyun scanned the surroundings and smiled, "It must have been a hallucination; I often have auditory hallucinations.
Sometimes, I thought I was some chosen one, able to hear things others couldn't."
As a result, he went to the hospital for a check-up, and... well, there was a slight issue with his ears.
"Is it possible that it's not just auditory hallucinations, but that your bloodline concentration... is particularly dense?" Qi Yuan casually remarked.
"What do you mean?" Han Xianyun was perplexed.
"You've activated the Heavenly Eye!" Qi Yuan said with a hearty laugh.
"You're quite the talker. If I really had activated the Heavenly Eye, where's the ghost?
Where is the ghost? I haven't even gotten married yet, and I'm missing a wife. Come, let a ghost appear, and I'll take her home as my bride!" Han Xianyun was unconcerned.
"One with two large horns and a height of three meters... would that work too?" Qi Yuan stared ahead, his eyes filled with a peculiar expression.
"Forget about the two horns, even if it's covered in chest hair, I'd still want it!
It's a ghost, a rare thing, marrying a ghost as a wife, what a wonderful thing!" Han Xianyun became more and more excited as he spoke, seemingly expressing his true thoughts.
But as he spoke, he suddenly sensed an unusual feeling.
It was as if his body had touched something viscous, and he felt numb and unable to move.
His mind was filled with doubts, and suddenly, he felt a chill on his forehead.
"What's going on?"
He wiped his forehead with his hand and then looked at his palm.
Suddenly, his face turned pale with terror: "Blood!"
In his hand, there was blood, a dense, sticky mess of it.
At that moment, Qi Yuan stood beside Han Xianyun, his face filled with curiosity: "So, this game does have a hidden map, but... this doesn't seem to be the hidden map yet..."
"What are you talking about?" Han Xianyun was now extremely anxious.
He felt his body becoming stiff and numb.
On his forehead, there was moisture, and he could taste blood.
"Quickly look up, and take a look at the ghost wife you want to marry.
But... it doesn't seem to be a ghost."
Qi Yuan's voice reached Han Xianyun, who subconsciously looked over.
The next moment, his eyes widened, and he swallowed hard: "This... what is this? If it's going to be my wife, I'll be screwed..."
High above, a terrifying giant beast stood, its body covered in dark red.
On its head were two cow-like horns, and its black flesh was covered in lumps of meat, beneath which was a bloody red interior.
In its hand, it held a giant axe, from which blood dripped.
Qi Yuan glanced at Han Xianyun: "You're drooling, and you're still using such disgusting words in this situation. Are you sure your head is okay?"
"You're the one with the problem. This is a normal reaction!" Han Xianyun stared at the terrifying beast, his legs trembling. "What kind of monster is this? And... where are we?"
Just then, a weak voice echoed: "How did you end up here?
I understand now. Your bloodline concentration is sufficient, and this place is too close to reality.
You accidentally brought him here."
Han Xianyun looked over, and at that moment, he saw the fortune teller from before.
The fortune teller, Yu Xiu, looked extremely pitiful.
Blood dripped from the corner of his mouth, and on his abdomen was a bloody gash, through which his intestines could be seen.
Yu Xiu spoke weakly: "This is Xing Wei Fumos, and the curse on my body hasn't dissipated. It's here to execute me.
It possesses terrifying divine power, and with a single axe, it can split a small mountain. It's a terrifying being from myths!"
Han Xianyun blinked, looking at Yu Xiu's abdominal wound.
So powerful, it can split a mountain with an axe, yet it only left such a wound on your abdomen.
Are you quite the badass? It seemed like Yu Xiu understood Han Xianyun's gaze, and his heart was filled with complex emotions. Han Xianyun's mind seemed a bit off.
"I'm the victim, and I'll be axed thirty times. The damage is constant, and only the final blow will be fatal.
But you... accidentally intruded into the execution site. It's over, this will enrage Axe Mos.
He'll kill us all!"
During executions, the probability of the victim's death is usually thirty percent.
But... those who accidentally intrude are guaranteed to die.
Therefore, many take advantage of this rule, luring their enemies into the execution site, using the executioner...
Hearing this, Han Xianyun's face turned pale. He looked at the beast with two horns on its head, and his expression was one of dread: "It's over. I haven't even married a wife, and I don't want to die!"
In a version with no errors, one can see the truth.
Beside him, Qi Yuan smiled and pointed at Axe Mos, whispering: "Isn't this the wife you've been longing for?
Just now, you said you wanted to marry it!"
"I..." Han Xianyun swallowed, unable to speak.
Yu Xiu, not far away, heard this. If he wasn't injured, he would have given Han Xianyun a thumbs up and said: "You're quite the hungry one!"
That's the executioner, Axe Mos!
At this moment, Axe Mos seemed to have understood their conversation.
A terrifying roar suddenly reverberated.
Powerful sound waves burst and swept through the entire space.
The entire area was filled with these sound waves, reverberating endlessly.
Qi Yuan's eyes shone with excitement: "This is... Martial Arts!"
Indeed, with a glance, he understood the other's methods, which were related to Martial Arts.
At this time, Qi Yuan looked at the three-meter-tall terrifying beast and smiled: "Do you want to challenge me?"
Axe Mos paid no attention and continued walking towards Qi Yuan.
Qi Yuan extended his hand: "Stop, we'll fight later!"
Axe Mos ignored him and kept walking towards Qi Yuan.
At this moment, Qi Yuan looked at the unconscious Han Xianyun and Yu Xiu, and reluctantly spoke, "This is so unfair. Why am I fighting for my life here while they're sleeping soundly?"
"Is it that when I defeat you, they'll finally wake up? Where in the world is such good fortune!"
"After I wake up, I'll doubt if it was me who defeated that monster!"
Qi Yuan was unwilling.
"We all faced danger together."
Weakling Yu Xiu was knocked out by Sound Wave, so he had to face the enemy alone.
"This is so unfair."
"Wake up!" Qi Yuan shouted.
Suddenly, a thunderous sound reverberated through the space.
Han Xianyun's eyes remained closed, and his mind was still foggy, but his body stood up, his hair standing on end.
Not far away, Yu Xiu was in a similar state.
Qi Yuan's voice kept assaulting their ears.
This attack was even more intense than Axemos' previous assault on the two.
Finally, after about two breaths, Yu Xiu and Han Xianyun opened their eyes.
"What happened? Did I faint?" Han Xianyun was dazed, and as his long-lost memory returned, he stared wide-eyed at Qi Yuan not far away, "I just had a dream, a dream about having a super hot wife!"
Yu Xiu also felt like he had slept for a long time.
He was dazed at this moment.
Axemos' sound wave attack was powerful enough to put someone to sleep for an entire day and night, leaving them unable to wake up.
Even with advanced equipment, it was impossible to rouse them, so how could he have woken up?
"Is your super hot wife still here?" Qi Yuan pointed forward.
Han Xianyun looked over, and at that moment, his previously dazed mind became clear.
He stared in disbelief, "The video was real! You destroyed three thousand military camps?"
The familiar sword, the familiar sword radiance... Wasn't this from the video? It was real!
Moreover, this master was the familiar Qi Yuan.
Dude... When did you secretly cultivate immortality?
An immortal cultivator... Participating in the Martial Arts Tournament?
This...
Han Xianyun's mind raced with thoughts. Suddenly, the space was filled with red radiance once more.
A gigantic longsword slashed diagonally towards Axemos.
The terrifying Axemos leaped, jumping over a hundred meters, as his massive axe slashed downward.
This powerful axe strike could split a small mountain.
Yu Xiu's eyes widened in sheer terror.
Who could withstand such an attack?
But the next moment, he was stunned.
The crimson radiance flashed, and in that instant, Qi Yuan's sword clashed with Axemos' axe.
Yu Xiu assumed Axemos would have the upper hand, but the situation unfolded differently from his expectations.
In the sky, Axemos' body suddenly split into two, then four, eight... It kept dividing, becoming smaller and smaller, and more and more fragmented...
Blood-like rain began to fall from the sky.
This... was Qi Yuan's sword.
Facing his sword, Axemos had no defense.
Yu Xiu was shocked beyond words, "This... This is a deity!"
Such a sword could slay the executioner. Who but a deity could possess such formidable power?
He understood now. No wonder the Blood Compass shattered.
It was because he had divined a deity.
But he was puzzled as to why a deity... would be left behind in the real world.
His mind was in turmoil, mixed with deep reverence.
At this moment, Qi Yuan sheathed his sword, his robes fluttering like a celestial being. He looked at the man not far away and spoke with a voice as ethereal as a delicate orchid, "Han Xianyun, your wife is bleeding."
Han Xianyun was speechless.
