Chapter 594 - 328: You Are Gongsun Zongheng!? (Part 2)
Chapter 594: Chapter 328: You Are Gongsun Zongheng!? (Part 2)
She sighed:
"I should have thrown you away from the start."
"...I kept advising you, but you wouldn’t listen."
In You Zong’s voice there was a trace of weakness; he was indeed in a bad state... His knees had been shattered, and his tendons severed.
The process involved unexpected developments as well as You Zong’s recklessness...
And hidden schemes from the opponent...
But no matter how it happened, the outcome was already decided.
The renowned top thief in the world had become a cripple... Whether he could be saved in the future was uncertain.
To be honest, if Liu Zhaohua hadn’t rescued him from that place, he would rather have died.
This time, he had completely hit rock bottom... After all, who would have thought that the small Duan Clan would hide a peerless master!?
The General!
Beyond the Twelve Saint Kings of the Celestial Evil Cult, he was the most bloodthirsty leader.
His martial arts skills rivaled the Three Emperors and Five Sovereigns!
Such a person, instead of scheming grand plans, directly confronting the Three Emperors and Five Sovereigns, was conspiring within the Duan Clan... Who could have expected this?
The only consolation now was that the General had not pursued them.
Otherwise, neither he nor Liu Zhaohua would have enough lives to survive!
Of course, the current situation wasn’t much better...
When Liu Zhaohua saved him, she took a blow from the General. Though she still managed to escape with You Zong, by the time they arrived here, Liu Zhaohua was already exhausted.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t have ended up in such a predicament.
In the previous battle, Liu Zhaohua’s Supreme Celestial Sound still exhibited its power... But how many more times could such power be unleashed?
At this thought, Liu Zhaohua laughed and said:
"As a mother, I can’t help but want to set a good example for my child. Besides, you have no prior connection with my Celestial Sound Mansion, yet you ended up like this. It wouldn’t be right, in terms of emotion and reason, to leave you alone."
As she spoke, she slowly moved forward.
The sound of melody emanated from around her.
It wasn’t a sound produced by an instrument, but a technique in martial arts cultivation, known as Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound.
It naturally arises during the Bone Marrow Cleansing process.
However, this also made the ancestors of the Liu Family realize that their muscles, bones, and blood could also produce sound.
If they could produce sound, then they could achieve melody.
By melding inner breath with the blood, using oneself as a bridge to connect with the creativity of heaven and earth through melody, they could reach a mystical level of understanding.
This is what is called Supreme Celestial Sound!
Mountains, flowing water, metal clashing, iron horses, ocean waves, tides, soaring to the sky, entering the clouds... all kinds of methods were at her fingertips.
Celestial Sound comes from nowhere, yet echoes ethereally.
This technique is hard to resist or block; a direct confrontation means certain death.
Liu Zhaohua was confident that when she faced Gongsun Zongheng again, she could win.
But meeting again under such circumstances was truly unexpected.
"Liu Zhaohua, you should die."
Gongsun Zongheng advanced slowly. With one step, he appeared in front of Liu Zhaohua from dozens of yards away, as if shrinking the distance:
"This is your fate!!"
"Fate!?"
Liu Zhaohua laughed heartily:
"I’ve never believed in fate in my life, and even if I did, I wouldn’t believe this is my fate!!
"I advise you, you’d better not risk your life with me!
"You can’t afford it!!"
In Supreme Celestial Sound, there is even a mutual destruction technique called Heaven and Earth Without Sorrow.
When this move is used, it plays heavenly music, covering the area around dozens of yards, eradicating everything within, leaving no joy or sorrow.
At the brink of life and death, anyone who fights her is on a path to death.
"Arrogant!!"
Gongsun Zongheng sneered:
"Today I’ll show you whether I can afford to fight or not!!"
"Hmm?"
Liu Zhaohua suddenly looked up, frowning slightly.
Gongsun Zongheng thought Liu Zhaohua was trying to divert his attention, but the next moment, he frowned too.
Everyone present saw a streak of lightning flash by.
For a moment, they were all a bit confused.
"What just whizzed past?"
Liu Zhaohua couldn’t help but ask.
You Zong pondered a bit and said:
"It seemed to be two people."
"Hmph, no matter who they are, it doesn’t concern you two, who are about to die."
Gongsun Zongheng stepped back:
"You’re right; it’s not yet the time to risk my life.
"The Celestial Evil Cult’s fierce troops are still around; why should I risk everything?
"Kill them."
He turned around and flicked his hand lightly.
However, the General’s subordinates wouldn’t listen to an outsider like him. Not even the Celestial Evil Sect Leader might be able to command them.
Sure enough, the man dressed like a young general, holding an iron spear, aimed at Liu Zhaohua.
The next moment, the Celestial Evil Cult disciples, who had been beaten and scattered, regrouped and charged.
Liu Zhaohua slowly lowered her head and exhaled gently.
Raising her eyes again, there was already a fierce look in them, and melodious sounds like a great bell or horn emerged around her, ready to unleash a shocking wave. But suddenly, a voice was heard at her ear:
"Found you."
"Who is it?"
Liu Zhaohua instinctively looked up and heard a scream from above. Then she saw a figure falling frantically, shouting as they descended:
"Aunt, save me!!"
"Qingyan!?"
Liu Zhaohua was in shock, thinking Liu Zhaonian must be out of his mind.
It was clear how dangerous this place was if even she had to send out a distress call. Why would he send Liu Qingyan here?
But then she realized something was wrong... the voice earlier was obviously not Liu Qingyan.
It was a young man.
Who was that?
Before she could get an answer, a dazzling inferno appeared across the sky.
Flames erupted out of nowhere, blazing in an instant, finally transforming into a sky full of fiery clouds.
Each piece of fiery cloud formed a palm force, endless fiery clouds, infinite palm forces, sequentially descending from above.
Liu Zhaohua found it indescribable, as if seeing a sky full of stars falling, turning into the most brilliant meteor fire rain.
In a fleeting thought, the charging scattered soldiers were covered within.
The palm force was powerful and aggressive, either tearing people apart or penetrating through them.
At the very least, it sent them flying, setting their bodies ablaze with raging flames.
It’s reinforcements!!
Realizing this, she instinctively reached out to catch Liu Qingyan.
But with that jolt, she couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Aunt!!"
Liu Qingyan exclaimed.
Perhaps it was an illusion, but Liu Zhaohua noticed that, at this moment, the raging Fire Cloud Palm Force seemed to pause for a moment.
The next moment, someone appeared beside her.
A large hand stretched out behind her, transmitting an unending stream of inner power into her body, gentle and warm as jade.
Liu Zhaohua instinctively looked up and saw a rugged-looking young man standing beside her, looking at her with complex emotions.
"...Young man, your look is quite scary."
Liu Zhaohua was a bit puzzled by his gaze:
"Do we know each other?"
Chu Qing thought for a moment and then smiled and nodded:
"Yes, we do."
"Why can’t I remember?"
Liu Zhaohua was surprised; she considered her memory to be decent, but she had no recollection of such an old acquaintance.
"Perhaps it’s because... time has passed and you’ve forgotten.
"Or maybe time changes things, and my appearance now is very different from before."
Chu Qing said with a smile:
"So, you can’t recognize me now."
Liu Zhaohua listened, not quite understanding, and couldn’t help but look at Liu Qingyan:
"Is this your friend?"
But then You Zong’s voice came:
"What took you so long? I almost died..."
Liu Zhaohua turned sharply to look at You Zong:
"Do you know each other?"
You Zong struggled to turn over and sit up, speaking with effort:
"Rest assured, now that he’s here, we will all survive."
Liu Zhaohua looked at Chu Qing in astonishment, not knowing what this young man’s background was, but given such an evaluation from Thief Saint You Sect, he must indeed be extraordinary.
Nevertheless, she reminded:
"Be careful... that rider is a master of the Celestial Evil Cult, and that old guy is Gongsun Zongheng!
"This person’s martial arts skills are incredible; you must not be careless."
Chu Qing suddenly turned around and laughed:
"So you are Gongsun Zongheng!?"
