Chapter 525 - 294: You Must Die!
Chapter 525: Chapter 294: You Must Die!
The black-clad man’s flaw was something Chu Qing had noticed long ago; the earlier change was deliberately orchestrated.
He intended to take advantage of that momentary pause to sever his hand.
But at that moment, Chu Qing suddenly remembered something...
The sect master had discussed with him about capturing one of the Twelve Saint Kings.
For someone like Chu Qing, who possessed the Supreme Wisdom Art, this task was not too difficult.
As long as the opponent had no method to guard against such a technique, it was practically effortless... but the problem was, he wasn’t quite sure where the limit of this technique lay.
He had previously considered whether to find someone to try it on.
Yet, on this journey, thanks to the reputation of ’Three Young Masters,’ things had gone extremely smoothly, without encountering even a single highway robber—where would he find a suitable candidate?
During the recent duel, as the rage within his heart was released, it suddenly occurred to him... wasn’t this the perfect candidate?
Thus, the slash that was on the cusp of success was abruptly abandoned.
The Supreme Wisdom Art was suddenly unleashed.
The black-clad man was unaware of the details; although he paid particular attention to the blue light in Chu Qing’s eyes, he assumed Chu Qing was mocking him intentionally, and couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh:
"Such arrogance is courting death!"
Chu Qing chuckled quietly:
"If you have the skills, try to kill me."
The black-clad man was furious, but did not act impulsively.
From the duel, he realized that Chu Qing’s Inner Power was extremely profound, surpassing his own.
However, Inner Strength alone cannot be a full measure of one’s abilities, moreover his Techniques were even more fierce...
His own [Blood Eagle Celestial Strike Thirteen Transformations] was an unparalleled Secret Technique among Spear Techniques, yet facing Chu Qing’s Saber Technique it was still inadequate.
To kill him, he needed to find an alternative approach.
As his thoughts raced, he suddenly spoke coldly:
"The Three Young Masters are renowned worldwide, yet I wonder which Secret Technique you are using? At such a young age, you possess such profound Inner Power Cultivation?"
"To be honest... the martial arts of Buddhism, Daoism, and Confucianism, while they have rapid progress methods, it’s exceedingly difficult to reach such a height as yours."
"...Then how did your Inner Power come about?"
Chu Qing’s eyebrows raised slightly, vaguely guessing that the fellow likely had some ulterior motives in mind.
Was he trying to unsettle his mind?
Or was he harboring other intentions?
But it didn’t matter, he took the opportunity to inquire casually, waiting to see what his response would be.
"Me? My Inner Power, it comes from killing!"
The black-clad man spoke frankly.
Chu Qing’s eyes narrowed slightly:
"From killing?"
"Indeed!"
The black-clad man said coldly:
"What I cultivate belongs to one of the ’Seven Mysteries and Three Treasures, Six Schools,’ specifically the Ministry of War Secret Technique [Slaughter Scripture]!
"With each person I kill, I can seize a portion of their cultivation for myself!"
In just a few words, he explained the mysteries of the [Slaughter Scripture].
It’s just... a Secret Technique from the Ministry of War?
There was a Ministry of War even within the Celestial Evil Cult... and the so-called General, could he be the head of this Ministry of War?
But this explains why this person could possess such deep martial arts at such a young age.
At that moment, Chu Qing let out a cold laugh:
"Demonic heretic."
"...Then what have you learned?"
The black-clad man spoke coldly:
"Before I die, I do wish to know where your unrivaled martial arts of the Three Young Masters came from?"
"Want to know?"
Chu Qing brandished his saber:
"If you can force me to retreat a step, what’s the harm in telling you?"
"Hahaha!!!!"
The black-clad man originally suspected that Chu Qing’s martial arts were not from the Righteous Path, trying to shake his position as a Three Young Masters on the Righteous Path of the Martial World.
Yet after talking back and forth, he was almost provoked to the point of spitting blood by Chu Qing.
Although in overall strength he was far from being Chu Qing’s match, to say he couldn’t even force him to retreat a step... then what would be the point of struggling here?
"I see you’re really courting death!"
The black-clad man, enraged beyond tolerance, soared into the air, his long spear vibrating, the spearhead lowering for an attack.
The rage fueling this move made its power exceptional.
Moreover, he executed one of the techniques from the [Blood Eagle Celestial Strike Thirteen Transformations], specifically [Celestial Eagle Blood Pecking].
It seemed like a simple leap and strike from the sky, but it secretly housed thirteen transformations; no matter how Chu Qing resisted, he would face corresponding changes.
As he initiated his move, his mind also began contemplating how Chu Qing would counter, and how he should respond...
At this thought, he suddenly felt his mind go blank.
How should he change techniques in response to Chu Qing’s move?
[Blood Eagle Celestial Strike Thirteen Transformations]... How should he perform these thirteen transformations?
No, how do these thirteen transformations change?
He tried his best to recall, but couldn’t remember how to respond properly.
Not only that, not to mention the thirteen transformations of [Celestial Eagle Blood Pecking], simply how should the latter half of this technique be executed?
The mystique of the spear tip had disappeared, and he couldn’t recall how to execute the latter half of the move, while Chu Qing stood with his saber just before him, suddenly making him fearful.
The renowned ’Three Young Masters’ in the martial world is undoubtedly an excellent master.
With his mind duly muddled amidst battle, forgetting subsequent changes, how can he possibly triumph over him?
Just afraid if the opponent makes a move, his own life won’t be spared.
Promptly retracting his spear, intending to perform a Thousand-Pound Weight and descend from mid-air.
But Thousand-Pound Weight... how should it be used?
After retracting his spear, the black-clad man again felt bewildered.
But seeing Chu Qing standing right there, with his spear withdrawn, making it seem like he was about to crash into him, in this situation, Chu Qing wouldn’t need any sophisticated technique, just a single slash with his saber, and his own corpse would be lying there.
