Chapter 838: Chapter 328: Invincible Technique!

"The Invincible Technique... can only be mastered by one person!"

Jiang Wei’s cold and urgent voice almost echoed at the same instant as the old man’s words ended.

Her delicate eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and her ruby-like eyes were filled with an unprecedented seriousness and warning, staring fixedly at the old man.

Fang Qingyu’s heart suddenly sank, and he also turned to look at the old man.

"The Invincible Technique can only be mastered by one person."

The voice carried skepticism and coldness.

"Can you make Chen Wudi give the Invincible Technique to me?!"

A technique that can only be grasped by one person, unable to be inherited or shared, the Invincible Technique.

Chen Wudi has practiced diligently for decades.

With it, he ascended to the peak and forged a legend!

Would he be willing to hand it over?

Giving his foundation for existence to a complete stranger?

This is simply a fantasy.

The old man was not angered by Fang Qingyu’s skepticism...

Instead, the muscles on his withered face twitched slightly, and pain surged in his cloudy eyes.

He raised his head, gazing at the sky above the arena, as if convincing himself.

"Without the Invincible Technique... isn’t it better than being refined into a state neither human nor ghost... right?"

He lowered his head, his voice as light as a mutter in sleep:

"He would... support my decision."

"After all..."

"The current him... is suffering more than being dead."

Fang Qingyu fell silent.

Yet, his tightly knit brows did not relax, his gaze resting on the old man’s face:

"You are Chen Wudi’s...?"

But the old man slowly shook his head.

He did not answer this question from Fang Qingyu.

His gaze returned to being murky and calm, as if the previous loss of composure had never occurred.

"Next..."

The old man’s voice returned to its previous hoarse depth, carrying the weight of entrusted responsibility:

"I will fully focus on attracting the attention of the Celestial Punishment Association. You can boldly expand your influence, increase your domain."

He paused, his tone carrying a trace of helplessness and honesty:

"But other support... will not be available."

"Holding off that group of freaks from the Celestial Punishment Association... the pressure on my side is enormous."

This is akin to indirectly admitting that the conflict between the Desolate Bone Corps and the Celestial Punishment Association was instigated by him.

The goal was to attract fire away and create space for Fang Qingyu and his group.

"What is the vulnerability of the Celestial Punishment Association?"

Fang Qingyu’s voice tinged with inquiry.

The old man’s face revealed a bitter smile, filled with helplessness and self-mockery:

"If I knew their vulnerability... I would have led everyone and charged up long ago! Would I have waited until today? Would I have watched Wudi... suffer in that hell for decades?!"

His bony fingers tightened around the cane, knuckles turning white.

"For decades... like an old dog, I have exhausted every means to investigate and probe..."

The old man’s voice was filled with defeat and a coldness that seeped deep into his bones:

"But I don’t even know who... is the person behind the Celestial Punishment Association!"

"Yet he is very strong... strong enough to capture Chen Wudi back."

"His direct combat power... might not surpass Wudi’s during his prime that much."

The old man added with extraordinary certainty.

"But the means he possesses... are too strange!"

Fang Qingyu listened, lost in thought.

Being able to capture Chen Wudi, at his peak, and possessing the Invincible Technique, alive?!

Even if the opponent used bizarre methods, such strength must be terrifying to the extreme.

Upon hearing this.

The fog in Fang Qingyu’s heart had already cascaded away significantly.

The Celestial Punishment Association was creating gods.

Using Chen Wudi, a Martial Arts Peak expert with the Invincible Technique and matchless physique as the foundation.

Attempting to create a god solely belonging to them.

And the shriveled Peak Martial Saint before them.

Upon learning of Fang Qingyu’s identity...

and their natural opposition to the Celestial Punishment Association.

He immediately chose to go all in.

Displaying maximum goodwill, even resorting to using the Invincible Technique that Chen Wudi regards as life as bait, just to exchange for a glimmer of hope in rescuing people.

Fang Qingyu remained silent for a few breaths.

His profound gaze like a deep well settled on the old man’s face.

"Aren’t you afraid I won’t agree?"

"After all, even though my goal is also the Celestial Punishment Association, rescuing Chen Wudi... doesn’t necessarily conflict with my goal."

Fang Qingyu clearly delineated the boundary.

Rescuing Chen Wudi is an additional task.

He can completely destroy the Celestial Punishment Association without considering the desolate figure chained on the cross.

Listening to Fang Qingyu’s analysis, the old man did not become angry; instead, he slowly shook his head.

A peculiar smile emerged on his face.

He cast one last deep gaze at Jiang Wei beside Fang Qingyu.

"Just know... what kind of existence the Invincible Technique is..."

The old man’s voice became ethereal, as if containing some ancient proverb.

"You... won’t refuse."

With that, his voice ceased.

The old man didn’t linger further, his bony hand supporting the cane, shakily stood up.

He gave Fang Qingyu one last look.

Then, he turned around, hunched over, leaning on the cane, and deliberately made his way into the bustling crowd, soon disappearing amid the sea of bobbing heads.

Fang Qingyu did not stop him, nor did he rise.

He simply watched in silence the direction of the old man’s disappearance.

"What exactly is the Invincible Technique?"

Fang Qingyu’s voice broke the silence.

Turning his head, his gaze landed on Jiang Wei’s small face.

Jiang Wei slightly raised her head, softly explained: "The Invincible Technique... is something every generation’s Human Emperor... must have!"

"Only with the Invincible Technique... can one qualify, can one have the chance... to claim the position of Human Emperor!"

"Human Emperor?"

Fang Qingyu’s brows furrowed slightly.

The term was both familiar and unfamiliar to him.

He instinctively thought of Jiang Wei’s mysterious father: "Is... it like your father?"
