I Have the Alchemy Emperor in My Head

1974 Appearing Weak to the Enemy and Killing in One Strike

Li Qianyuan was dead.

His entire head was sent flying and rolled to the side.

Li Qianyuan’s eyes were still wide open. Probably until he died, he never thought that Chu Yunfan was the guy he had always wanted to kill. The person who had once defeated him and forced him to the brink was Chu Yunfan. If he hadn’t been lucky enough to carry a Scapegoat Doll with him, he would have died at Chu Yunfan’s hands much earlier.

Li Qianyuan had suspected many people, but he had never suspected that it was Chu Yunfan. To his knowledge, Chu Yunfan had died a long time ago. Who would suspect a dead person? This was the blind spot of thinking. Therefore, he had never thought that it could be Chu Yunfan.

Not to mention, in his impression, Chu Yunfan’s strength had always been far inferior to his. The reason why he felt that Chu Yunfan was his mortal enemy was because Chu Yunfan’s growth speed made him feel threatened. In Li Qianyuan’s opinion, Chu Yunfan’s growth speed would make him feel troubled sooner or later.

However, that was all. As for whether Chu Yunfan could surpass him? That was simply impossible. There was no such expert among his peers. However, this most impossible existence had finally become a reality. Chu Yunfan was the culprit who had humiliated him and caused the Li clan to suffer heavy losses.

Li Qianyuan’s severed head had not completely lost consciousness, but he did not even have the strength to shout out and reveal Chu Yunfan’s identity.

Everyone was stunned and silent. Although Li Qianyuan had completely fallen into a disadvantage, no one expected that Chu Yunfan would not even give Li Qianyuan a chance to surrender.

“This shouldn’t be. No matter what, Li Qianyuan should have a chance to surrender,” someone said in disbelief.

“He fell for it. Chu Yunfan set a trap and lured him in step by step, making him think that he has the ability to protect himself.” The Elder Princess gasped. Her gaze was extremely deep, and a hint of suppression flashed through her eyes.

She knew what had happened. Chu Yunfan’s actions couldn’t be hidden from her, but she also just figured out the reason why he had let Li Qianyuan go several times. It was not what many people thought, that it was just to humiliate Li Qianyuan.

Li Qianyuan wasn’t stupid. If Chu Yunfan had shown such cultivation from the beginning, then Li Qianyuan would have chosen to avoid him. After all, although Li Qianyuan was conceited as the number one in the world, he did not think that he was invincible. Otherwise, Li Qianyuan would have died countless times. Not to mention the past, even now, there were still many giants that Li Qianyuan, the Li clan, and the crown prince’s faction could not afford to offend, such as the Elder Princess.

However, Chu Yunfan had lured Li Qianyuan into the trap step by step. He had let him go several times when he could have pursued him. On the surface, it was to humiliate Li Qianyuan and defeat him in his strongest state.

However, it was probably to make a trap to kill Li Qianyuan. Step by step, he made Li Qianyuan think that he had a chance of winning. At the very least, he had the power to protect himself. Even if he was defeated, he could withdraw in time.

This was an unprecedented defeat for Li Qianyuan. No one in his generation had ever defeated him or even stood shoulder-to-shoulder with him. But now, someone had done it. It was a huge blow, but no matter how big the blow was, it was better than being killed by Chu Yunfan.

“Well done, Chu Yunfan,” the Elder Princess said softly, and only Ruoxi, who was beside her, heard it.

Ruoxi was stunned. She could not recall the Elder Princess praising any junior this way. The Elder Princess was a prodigy of her generation and had the title of the number one expert in the royal family. Her standards were extremely high. How could ordinary people earn the Elder Princess’ approval?

After the Elder Princess’ words, Ruoxi finally reacted. This Chu Yunfan had long planned this. He didn’t just intend to defeat Li Qianyuan. He wanted to kill Li Qianyuan.

However, he was afraid of scaring Li Qianyuan and letting him escape. On this birthday, all the rules were the rules set by the Elder Princess. No one could change them.

However, it was precisely because of this that everyone had to act within the scope of this rule. Those who did not follow the rules were all casually slapped to death. And Chu Yunfan made good use of this rule.

Li Qianyuan was the number one of the Li clan and the crown prince’s faction. He had to be accompanied by a large number of masters at all times. Even his protectors were stronger than one another because they had to prevent other forces from suddenly attacking him.

Chu Yunfan didn’t have any top-notch experts backing him up, and the Flying Celestials couldn’t possibly fall out with the crown prince’s faction completely because of him. That price to pay was too high. If Chu Yunfan wanted to kill Li Qianyuan, he had to do it himself. He had to use all means to complete it.

And now he had done it, leading Li Qianyuan to death step by step.

At this time, Ruoxi understood this and could not help but gasp. Because everyone’s judgment was wrong. Not only did most people tend to think that Li Qianyuan was stronger and would win, but more importantly, almost everyone thought that Chu Yunfan had crushed Li Qianyuan from the beginning to the end.

Who would have thought that Chu Yunfan was deliberately showing weakness?

Appearing weak and being arrogant. Although it was strange to use this phrase in this battle, it was completely correct.

Everyone quickly thought of this. They were not stupid. They quickly understood the crux of the matter and sucked in a breath of cold air. Chu Yunfan looked unyielding, but he was actually shrewd and resourceful. This kind of person was the most terrifying.

“But is this necessary? Even if Chu Yunfan attacked from the beginning, it was enough to kill Li Qianyuan!” someone said in confusion.

In their opinion, Chu Yunfan’s strength had an overwhelming advantage even when facing Li Qianyuan after his outburst. It was a high probability that he could easily kill Li Qianyuan.

“That’s right. Even so, he wasn’t 100% sure that Li Qianyuan could escape. So, he was testing whether Li Qianyuan had a trump card to let him escape. After he showed his weakness step by step and confirmed that Li Qianyuan couldn’t escape, he killed him with one blow. What a ruthless method!”
