Chapter 468 - 265: Inner Power Treasure Chest!? (Part 2)
Chapter 468: Chapter 265: Inner Power Treasure Chest!? (Part 2)
The martial arts this person practiced were strikingly similar to Chu Huai Feng’s, and their power was nearly identical, allowing them to master their skills with precision.
He didn’t kill this person outright because he still had questions for him.
He didn’t expect the blood this person spat out would have such an effect.
Unable to resist, he glanced at that person:
"What martial arts do you practice?"
"Wood Corpse Technique."
The person spoke slowly, the corners of his mouth curling:
"Third Young Master, have you ever heard of it?"
Wood Corpse Technique, Cold Corpse Record...
Chu Qing suddenly laughed:
"Where do you all come from?"
"In the future, if Third Young Master has the ability, he can investigate for himself... as for now..."
At this point, the tree the person was leaning against seemed to suddenly shrink a circle.
And the assassin who was on the brink of death suddenly lifted his head and struck a palm at Chu Qing.
This palm strike was quite ordinary, but the green mist it produced was definitely not righteous.
The mist came quickly, leaving no time to react, as Chu Qing flicked his sleeve, and with a rustling sound, it was contained using his inner strength. He then turned and flicked his right hand.
With a whoosh, the green mist shot like an arrow.
It struck the assassin’s chest but was blocked by his green iron armor, not penetrating through, but dispersing and enveloping him in the green mist.
"Ah!!!!"
A piercing scream came from his mouth as he struggled to stand, his shape swaying unsteadily.
In the end, he rolled hard onto the ground, writhing in agony, and began to bang his head against the tree he was leaning on.
Unexpectedly, the tree, as if made of paper, broke into pieces upon impact, filled with tiny pieces of wood inside.
The entire tree had its vitality extracted by someone at some point.
Chu Qing’s eyes flickered with suspicion, but he couldn’t help but sigh:
"What a method."
Being shattered by his Celestial Frost Fist, the meridians throughout his body were frozen, appearing normal outwardly but actually incapable of martial combat.
Yet he could unobtrusively draw out the vitality of an entire large tree and even convert it into poison.
A slight mishap, even with martial arts a hundred times superior, could lead to a dismal outcome.
As the poisonous mist dispersed, the person lay on the ground, his entire body drenched in blood.
Especially his face, with all the grim scars and sores gone.
Because his face skin was entirely gone.
Revealing the facial muscles beneath, his eyeballs appeared large and round.
He looked fiercely at Chu Qing, his lipless mouth opening and closing, saying with difficulty:
"...Don’t... don’t go to... Taiheng Sect again!"
Without lips, his voice sounded bizarre, hard to discern.
After saying this, green mist suddenly billowed from his body.
Chu Qing had seen this scene before!
Chu Huai Feng had experienced such a situation before his death.
With a slight step, he swiftly moved away from his current position.
The continuously erupting mist enveloped the surrounding area within several zhang, lingering.
The trees enveloped by this green mist withered at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Chu Qing exhaled slowly, rolling up his sleeve, sending the mist away with palm force.
Looking back, the person was entirely depleted, leaving only a set of green iron armor and a skeleton.
[Mission Completed!]
The system prompt arrived as scheduled.
Chu Qing casually opened it.
[Mission: Unknown on the List! (Destroy all guests on the Evil Extermination List!)]
[Current Stage: Three.]
[Current Progress: Four (Completed).]
[Task Reward: Choose one from the available Martial Arts Treasure Chests.]
[Stage Reward: A random clue Treasure Chest (claimable).]
[Full Stage Reward: A self-selected category Martial Arts Treasure Chest.]
[Current Available Chests: Finger Treasure Chest, Exotic Studies Treasure Chest, Fist Treasure Chest, Inner Power Treasure Chest.]
Chu Qing’s eyes narrowed, gazing at the Inner Power Treasure Chest, he slowly exhaled.
This person wasn’t killed for nothing... yielding Golden Armor, ah no, yielding Inner Power.
Inner Power Treasure Chest should not be underestimated, it needs careful opening.
Chu Qing wasn’t in a hurry; he heard footsteps approaching, it was Wu Qianhuan and Gentle.
Upon seeing the skeleton on the ground, Wu Qianhuan frowned deeply:
"Chu Huai Feng..."
The two of them had experienced that snowy night and the battle with Cold Corpse, naturally recognizing the scene.
Chu Qing nodded:
"They must come from the same place...
"Cold Corpse Chu Huai Feng practiced the Cold Corpse Record, this person practiced Wood Corpse Technique, I suppose this martial art doesn’t only have ’Cold Corpse’ and ’Wood Corpse’, but I don’t know where exactly it comes from. Besides the two of them, what do others correspond to?
"I just chatted briefly with this person, always feeling they are deliberately shaped by someone."
If what this person said back then wasn’t a lie, given mediocre qualifications, someone lent a hand, teaching him Wood Corpse Technique, but thus he also became subject to that person.
This person... certainly didn’t do it out of sheer kindness.
What is his intention?
Who is this person?
Chu Huai Feng was reticent about this before he died, and the person before us spoke candidly; many things are not that he doesn’t want to say, but he can’t say.
He proved through action, even in death, he couldn’t say.
But Chu Qing was more concerned about why this person urged him not to go to Taiheng Sect anymore?
What would happen inside Taiheng Sect?
Chu Qing wasn’t easily swayed, even though it’s said to heed advice for satisfaction, this matter he couldn’t listen to.
Thus, after sending Gentle and Wu Qianhuan back to Chunlai Inn, Chu Qing headed directly for Taiheng Sect.
Having been busy all night, it was almost dawn.
Taiheng Sect, however, seemed somewhat dead and silent...
Too much happened last night.
First, Chu Qing unleashed a massacre before the Sword Pavilion, then in a fit of anger, he stabbed a blade into the Sword Pavilion’s plaque.
He struck quite oddly; the blood-drenched blade was untouchable by others.
Any slight touch, the plaque handwritten by the Sword Pavilion’s ancestor was about to shatter.
Not to mention, pulling out the blade...
Chu Qing intentionally stabbed a thorn into their Taiheng Sect’s heart, making them feel pained and uneasy.
This matter in itself made the disciples of Taiheng Sect angry, feeling oppressed and breathless.
Unexpectedly, in the dead of night, someone stealthily went to the Sword Enlightenment Cliff.
Not just one person...
"I heard it was a rogue wandered into Sword Enlightenment Cliff, intending to steal the martial arts practiced there.
"His enemies followed him, killing him there.
"They intended to remain undetected, but the commotion was too loud and awakened the elders within the Sword Enlightenment Cliff, leading a siege.
"Unexpectedly, the person was proficient in Gu Art, causing the disciples to fight amongst themselves.
"By rights, trespassing Sword Enlightenment Cliff warrants death, with the body thrown off the cliff, but the young sect leader is compassionate, arranging for the body in the woodshed, planning to cremate today..."
"Will this healing elixir work against Gu Art?"
"How would I know, let’s just take it over and see."
Two disciples of Taiheng Sect spoke as they walked, wholly unaware of a figure following atop the corridor, listening to everything.
"Woodshed..."
Chu Qing knew they were speaking of Luo Wushuang.
Thinking of this mysterious identity person, Chu Qing headed toward the so-called woodshed.
Taiheng Sect was vast, and the woodshed was also large, with multiple locations.
After searching around, Chu Qing finally found Luo Wushuang’s corpse.
Taking advantage of the absence of people, he approached the body and carefully examined it, feeling increasingly that something was off.
Finally, he focused on Luo Wushuang’s face, his pupils gradually narrowing.
