Chapter 494: Chapter 278: Let Me See What Else You Can Do
"The current situation is, the Third Young Master is using Prince Xue’s force to attack Luo Wushuang, and the force Luo Wushuang is using against the Third Young Master mostly comes from the Third Young Master himself.
"The force Prince Xue is contending with is the Third Young Master’s force, but the person being attacked was changed from the Third Young Master to Luo Wushuang.
"Luo Wushuang wants to attack the Third Young Master, but first has to get past Prince Xue."
His lengthy discourse left people’s heads buzzing.
Tie Chuming understood the words but was completely baffled by their meaning.
Who’s using whose force to attack whom?
Who’s contending with whose force, intending to attack whom?
Lan Shuyi quietly uttered:
"It’s utter chaos!"
"Outrageous!!"
Prince Xue finally came to his senses, bursting into furious rage.
It all seemed utterly inexplicable to him.
She wanted to kill Chu Qing!
As for saying anything like handing over something to spare his life... Chu Qing wasn’t a child to believe it, and Prince Xue himself was just saying it for fun.
In her eyes, Chu Qing was much more important than the Nine Treasures of Heaven and Earth.
Getting the Nine Treasures would be easy for her... but the prerequisite was that Chu Qing had to die.
But now, not only did she fail to kill Chu Qing with a single palm, but she also got entangled in the chaotic battle between the two. Chu Qing seemed to be standing in front, but in reality, his force had retracted entirely, wearing away both her and Luo Wushuang’s Inner Strength.
How could she be content with this?
She immediately wanted to pull away and retreat.
Logically, now Chu Qing was Luo Wushuang’s primary target. Prince Xue could come quietly, fight, and leave without anyone stopping her.
But when she tried to pull back her palm, she found it glued to Chu Qing’s back.
Unexpectedly, she couldn’t break free, and instead, her force continued to transfer into Chu Qing according to the previous trajectory.
"Let go of me!!!"
Enraged, Prince Xue unleashed another palm strike.
Chu Qing hurriedly thanked her:
"Thank you, thank you."
In her extreme anger, Prince Xue realized what she had done. Both her palms were now stuck to Chu Qing’s back.
Causing the bloody glow in Chu Qing’s palm to grow even stronger.
The bloody force was corroding Luo Wushuang’s Finger Force, the large shadow of the finger gradually turning into a sinister red hue.
And between that finger and Luo Wushuang, there was a bloodline drawn.
This was the "pivot of energy," linking the external force with its origin, unseen on the outside. Now, encountering this strange Inner Power from Prince Xue, it got dyed red. If this force followed the pivot into Luo Wushuang, he would instantly be turned into a pool of pus by the Palm Force.
Being the disciple of Martial Emperor Li Juechen, Luo Wushuang was not one to be trifled with.
He was capable of risking his life to return force for force with Chu Qing, demonstrating his extraordinary abilities.
Now, seeing the spread of the blood color, though unsure of its origin, he knew it was certainly nothing good.
Knowing it couldn’t continue like this.
Chu Qing’s Inner Power was too profound. Though Luo Wushuang had continuous fortuitous encounters and was taken back by Martial Emperor Li Juechen at a young age, enjoying endless natural treasures and growing his power rapidly,
Still, the force he wielded now was far beyond his age.
Yet, he found himself lacking compared to Chu Qing’s talents.
Just using the technique [Thousand Origins as One, Myriad Transformations to Unity] to transfer Chu Qing’s force had already left him severely injured.
Now, the opponent obtained this strange force, bypassing the force of the finger, intending to dismantle him first.
Already struggling to gain the upper hand, if he didn’t adapt, he’d undoubtedly be defeated.
So, he steeled his mind, fiercely determined.
With a sudden change at his fingertips:
"Break!!!"
The large shadow of the finger immediately emitted an extremely menacing feeling.
Chu Qing’s heart stirred upon hearing a thunderous explosion that shook the whole area!
At this crucial moment, Luo Wushuang detonated the Finger Force entirely.
The force within shot indiscriminately in all directions, its intensity earth-shattering.
Chu Qing bore the brunt, his body trembled, and then his stance shifted, instantly appearing several zhang away.
As he moved away, the adhesive force on his back disappeared.
Prince Xue was left standing there.
Before she could even realize her ’rebirth,’ the overwhelming force had already engulfed her.
"Bastard!!!"
In that moment, Prince Xue stopped calling him ’good brother.’
The earth-shattering sound of explosion unfolded before everyone’s eyes, followed by endless ripples spreading in all directions.
Disciples from the Taiheng Sect got swept into this wave, some exclaiming in retreat, others barely maintaining themselves. Even the skilled observers from the Martial World weren’t spared; though when it reached them, its force was no longer dangerous.
They simply retreated a few steps and stabilized themselves.
Looking up again, the disciples of the Taiheng Sect all started to cry.
The Sword Pavilion was collapsing...
From the start of the battle between Chu Qing and Luo Wushuang, the Sword Pavilion continued to suffer damage.
First, the grand entrance was torn away, walls were ripped apart, and the roof was shattered.
The entire pavilion stood on the brink of collapse...
Until this moment, when Luo Wushuang detonated the fierce force within the finger, the Sword Pavilion finally crumbled.
With loud rumbling sounds spreading out, pillars inside the Sword Pavilion broke one by one, tiles and rubble scattered everywhere.
With a heavy thud, the entire Sword Pavilion was no more.
The group of Elders exchanged glances, some reaching out as if to salvage something, only to find it was too late.
From the beginning, they were wrong.
They believed Guan Changying, who they thought would never lie to them... indeed didn’t lie.
But the issue was, that person wasn’t Guan Changying at all!
If not for their blind trust in the prospective Sect Leader, how would they have become enemies with Chu Qing?
Without this battle today, the Sword Pavilion would still stand strong here.
That night, those Taiheng Sect disciples who died at Chu Qing’s hands wouldn’t have perished, and the conspiracy might have been unveiled earlier... none of this would have happened.
But now, what use was there in saying any of this?
Buzzzzzz!!!
Something spun in midair, finally landing in front of Chu Qing.
Chu Qing paused, reaching out to catch it, and it turned out to be a knife.
The blade was a bit mottled, and there were long-dried bloodstains.
This was the knife he had thrown onto the Sword Pavilion’s plaque after the massacre at the Taiheng Sect that night, unsatisfied and venting.
Unexpectedly, after several days, it returned to his hand.
"Though not a good knife, it’s... interesting."
Chu Qing gently flicked the blade.
Looking up, he saw a silhouette suddenly rising from the ruins; she was covered in blood, her eyes filled with anger.
The figure finally settled on a piece of ruin, lifting her gaze to coldly watch Chu Qing.
On the other side, Luo Wushuang, leaning against a stone, looked at Chu Qing with some frustration:
"Why isn’t he dead yet..."
It was obvious he was genuinely apprehensive.
"Not dead? Then we’ll fight until he’s dead!"
Prince Xue spoke coldly.
Luo Wushuang glanced at Prince Xue with surprise:
"Who are you?"
"Who I am is not important, what matters is that we now have a common enemy."
Prince Xue looked at Luo Wushuang:
"How about teaming up? Kill him, and you seek your revenge, while I attend to my affairs."
Hearing this, Chu Qing smiled:
"Who would have thought, Blood Prince of the Twelve Saint Kings of the Celestial Evil Cult would also propose alliances?"
Luo Wushuang was stunned upon hearing this:
"You’re from the Celestial Evil Cult?"
"So what?"
Prince Xue sneered.
"Qualified to team up with me!"
Luo Wushuang suddenly regained his spirit, rising up:
"Then, as you say, kill him. I’ll seek revenge, and you attend to your matters."
Prince Xue looked at Luo Wushuang with some surprise, then suddenly laughed:
"Young lad, I suddenly somewhat like you."
"Spirits of the dark... colluding."
Chu Qing slowly approached, gently shaking the blade:
"Come, show me what you’ve got?"
