System: I Can Open Martial Arts Chests

Chapter 466: Chapter 264: Accidental Death (Part 2)

It can be confirmed that Luo Wushuang has a connection with this assassin from the Mirror of Sin, as they have met each other.

But if he isn’t the contact person, what exactly is his relationship with this assassin?

What is his purpose in coming to the Taiheng Sect?

Chu Qing looked up at the man in black not far away, advancing and retreating. The confusion in his heart, perhaps this person could resolve.

Thinking of this, just as Chu Qing was about to make a move, his brows suddenly furrowed slightly.

He saw the man in black press down with both hands, and an extremely strange sound rang out in the night sky.

This sound entering the ear made people feel uncomfortable, but the real surprise was that the next moment after hearing this sound, many members of the Taiheng Sect turned against each other for no reason, pointing the swords in their hands at their fellow sect members.

In just an instant, this group from the Taiheng Sect suffered heavy casualties.

The leaders among them were also injured in the sudden betrayal by those around them.

The entire Taiheng Sect side was in chaos.

The man in black then turned his body and flew away, tapping his toes lightly on the ground.

Leaving behind only one sentence:

"The Taiheng Sect, nothing more than this!"

Upon hearing this sentence, Wenrou and Wu Qianhuan, hidden in the shadows, both felt their scalps tingle.

Because this voice was Chu Qing’s!

Chu Qing squinted his eyes, his figure swayed, and he quietly came to Wu Qianhuan and Wenrou, then immediately pursued that expert from the Evil Extermination List of the Mirror of Sin, all the way down the mountain.

This time, the person didn’t hesitate at all, heading straight out of Sword City after descending the mountain.

By this time, the pursuing soldiers behind him had been completely shaken off, but he kept moving, clearly intending to use the Lightweight Technique to escape from the Taiheng Sect’s territory first.

A sudden sound of the wind breaking through the air rang out, and the person turned back abruptly, his figure midair, only to hear a ding.

The flying stone hit his chest, but it produced a sound like hitting iron.

Does this person seem to be wearing some kind of Treasure Armor?

The flying stone obviously couldn’t hurt him, but the force contained within it sent him flying over three feet away.

His figure rolled slightly, and he stood up:

"Who is it?"

This time, the voice was completely different from Chu Qing’s.

Chu Qing’s voice came from the shadows:

"I felt earlier that your martial arts techniques seemed somewhat familiar.

"Now I am somewhat certain... May I ask, what is your relationship with Cold Corpse Chu Huaifeng?"

Chu Qing stepped out from the darkness, appearing under the starlight.

The person’s pupils suddenly contracted:

"Third Young Master!?"

Chu Qing touched his face but suddenly remembered the previous incident where this person imitated his voice, feeling that even wearing a veil today, it would be hard not to be recognized from his voice.

So he didn’t dwell on it, just nodded:

"It is indeed I."

The person remained silent, but his sleeve fluttered slightly.

The next moment, Chu Qing suddenly took a step forward, and an endless cold aura spread from under his feet, instantly forming a frozen realm within the surrounding area.

A muffled grunt was heard from that person, looking at Chu Qing again, with eyes full of doubt and surprise:

"How did you know?"

"Know what? Know your little tricks?"

Chu Qing spoke in a deep voice:

"Besides having martial arts similar to Chu Huaifeng, you seem to also excel in a highly advanced Gu Art?

"The sudden infighting among those Taiheng Sect members earlier, it was your doing, wasn’t it?

"The Evil Extermination List truly has talents aplenty, even experts like you are among it."

The man opposite remained silent, his gaze full of hesitation. Suddenly, he sighed softly:

"Was Chu Huaifeng killed by you?"

"Yes."

"Thank you."

The person suddenly cupped his fists.

Chu Qing’s face was expressionless:

"Why the thanks?"

"Just like Taiheng Sect thanking you for giving Ling Beichen relief, I also thank you for giving Chu Huaifeng relief."

The person said softly:

"He lived... too painfully."

"What was your relationship with him?"

There was a hint of surprise in Chu Qing’s eyes; this person’s martial arts techniques were indeed somewhat similar to Chu Huaifeng’s.

But the techniques were often similar but different.

Chu Qing’s words were merely a guess, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be true.

"Relationship?"

The person thought for a moment:

"No particular relationship, just kindred spirits."

Chu Qing nodded, not lingering on this question:

"Why do you want to kill Luo Wushuang?"

"No comment."

Those four words were spoken coldly by the person.

"It seems your gratitude is as empty and laughable as that of the Taiheng Sect."

"So what?"

The person on the opposite side spoke calmly:

"And don’t compare me to that group of fools; they are the real ingrates.

"You killed Ling Beichen, only for the Taiheng Sect’s dignity.

"Ling Beichen was their fellow disciple, the number one expert of Taiheng Sect in the past.

"But what’s between me and Chu Huaifeng? Just nodding acquaintances... even when we dined together, each paid his own expenses.

"The sentiment between us wasn’t that deep."

"..."

Chu Qing was taken aback by his words, paused in silence, then asked:

"You even paid for your meals?"

"... Killing to earn money is not a noble trade, but ultimately, why earn money? Isn’t it to spend it... If one resorts to plundering for everything, why bother earning money?"

"The latter half of your words make some sense."

But as for killing being a lowly trade, Chu Qing, as an assassin, found it hard to agree.

He immediately nodded:

"It seems I have to employ some methods to make you speak the truth."

"I’ve long heard that the Third Young Master’s martial arts are peerless, and I shall witness it!"

Before Chu Qing could make a move, the person had already swept his robe sleeves and charged at Chu Qing.

His martial arts focused primarily on ’Claw.’

When Chu Qing sidestepped one claw, he noticed that under that person’s robe sleeves, the hands also had Iron Armor.

But compared to Chu Huaifeng’s, this person’s Iron Armor seemed to be green...

Chu Huaifeng’s set was white.

Indeed, Chu Huaifeng’s set looked better.

Thinking this, his footwork was already changing continuously, the opponent’s claw techniques kept coming, but after dozens of moves, he hadn’t even touched Chu Qing’s sleeve.

And the hidden Gu worms shrunk away due to the cold aura mixed with Chu Qing’s Inner Strength, not daring to move recklessly.

Another claw fell, Chu Qing dodged, and the person caught a tree with one claw. With a punch, a muffled crack was heard, and the tree trunk was shattered by his Inner Strength, with the whole tree slowly collapsing.

Witnessing this, the person suddenly flew up, kicking the trunk horizontally.

With one hand, he pulled, and the unknown weight of the trunk moved with his palm momentum, heading for Chu Qing with the treetop as the tip.

Chu Qing’s eyes lit up, and a buzzing sound was heard.

The blade light cut through, splitting the entire tree in two, but suddenly the person was nowhere to be seen.

The sense of danger came from behind, and as Chu Qing turned, a layer of cold aura protective Gang Qi already surrounded him.

One hand landed on the Gang Qi, the extreme cold invading, while the force of the countershock made that person’s palm tremble.

Then, with a Dragon Roar, Chu Qing struck forward with his palm, hitting the person’s chest directly.

The overwhelming Palm Force sent the person flying backward.

The person’s black robe disintegrated under the Palm Force, revealing the true form beneath!

This person was indeed wearing a set of green Iron Armor, identical in design to Chu Huaifeng’s.

It was hard to discern this person’s age...

Not because he had a young face, a weathered gaze, nor was he a youth with profound maturity.

But because his face was covered with various sized pustules, and scars left behind after the pustules burst.

A horrific look covered the entire face.

As he met Chu Qing’s gaze, he instinctively reached out to cover his face.

But then he thought this gesture might be superfluous, so he resignedly lowered his hand and said softly:

"Fighting is fighting... but why did you blow my clothes to pieces?

"I’m not a woman; even if you tear them, there’s nothing for you to see."

Chu Qing frowned slightly:

"What happened to your face?"
