Chapter 744: Chapter 403: Hundred Corpses Demon Monarch! (Part 2)

Therefore, when Prince Xi’s words reached his ears, the Hundred Corpses Demon Monarch considered them for only a brief moment.

The main reason for this moment was that he couldn’t fully trust Prince Xi.

Opening up his meridians, accommodating his Inner Strength, and even joining forces to fight against Chu Qing... it sounded easy, but if Prince Xi harbored malicious intent, he might be the first to wish for something worse than death.

But it was also in this brief moment that the Hundred Corpses Demon Monarch let out a muffled groan.

In a situation where he was being besieged on both sides, if he couldn’t reach an agreement with one of the parties, opening the door to invite in a thief, even colluding with them, then he would only be caught in between, attacked by both sides.

Which would lead to himself, who originally should have been joining forces with Prince Xi, becoming someone hunted by the combined forces of Chu Qing and Prince Xi.

At this point, the Hundred Corpses Demon Monarch no longer cared about issues of opening the door to invite a thief or trust.

With a thought, he actively introduced Prince Xi’s Inner Strength, attacking Chu Qing’s Inner Power.

Chu Qing raised an eyebrow; he wasn’t sure where the Hundred Corpses Demon Monarch’s Inner Power came from, but he suspected the old man had likely cultivated some kind of Poison Skill.

At once, he raised his other hand in reverse and pressed it against the back of the Hundred Corpses Demon Monarch.

Then, he too opened the door to invite a thief.

Allowing the Inner Power of the two people to rush into his body recklessly.

Only, the right hand lets in while the left hand releases.

In just an instant, the face of the Hundred Corpses Demon Monarch turned a shade of pale green, and the face of Prince Xi showed a hint of blue.

"Not good... this person is adept at using force against force; your power and mine have been completely..."

The Hundred Corpses Demon Monarch’s words were cut short as he suddenly felt the Inner Breath, which had originally been completely in sync with his own, as if wearing the same trousers, suddenly became turbulent.

This disturbance came not only from one place but from all limbs and bones, from all the apertures, from everywhere simultaneously.

This situation was strange; to describe it, it was as if each invisible nail had suddenly appeared, and someone had wound threads around them, linking all the nails together into a sheet.

He suddenly looked towards Prince Xi.

Only to see an unprecedented gleam flickering in Prince Xi’s eyes.

"You!"

The Hundred Corpses Demon Monarch had just uttered one word when he already felt that his body was beyond his control, with his meridians and Inner Strength undergoing various changes.

Apart from opposing Chu Qing, the other half of the Inner Breath began operating in a way he had never seen before, and with each cycle, the Inner Breath grew stronger.

In just a short time, his Inner Power Cultivation increased by a significant margin.

But this was not pleasing... because he realized he had completely lost control over his own body.

At this moment, the Hundred Corpses Demon Monarch couldn’t utter a word, his thoughts even came to a standstill.

He even briefly considered joining forces with Chu Qing to kill Prince Xi first...

But now, even if he had this thought, he was unable to act on it.

In a haze, alternating between clarity and confusion, he ultimately sank into endless darkness.

Chu Qing was not unaware of the changes within the Hundred Corpses Demon Monarch.

However, he was simply observing the situation quietly.

Wanting to see what exactly Prince Xi intended to do?

And by this time, the Inner Strength within the Hundred Corpses Demon Monarch started escalating rapidly; it was a speed that was indescribable.

As if, with just a few breaths, one could possess the Inner Power an ordinary person would strive for a lifetime to achieve in cultivation.

In just a few breaths, the Inner Strength within the Hundred Corpses Demon Monarch had already swollen to its extreme.

Meridians and flesh tensed up due to the swelling of Inner Strength, and finally, the once frail form of the Hundred Corpses Demon Monarch looked like an inflated balloon.

Chu Qing realized that the next moment, the old man was going to explode.

Without thinking, he gathered both palms, spun around, and intended to leave.

After all the trouble Prince Xi went through, sacrificing a Hundred Corpses Demon Monarch, how could he allow Chu Qing to just walk away?

The Inner Strength within the Hundred Corpses Demon Monarch turned, with a powerful suction trying to cling to Chu Qing’s hand.

But it was futile!

Chu Qing’s figure flickered, directly withdrawing from the battlefield, even taking the opportunity to strike a Sky-Cracking Palm on his way back.

To see if he could blow up the Hundred Corpses Demon Monarch directly.

Unexpectedly, Prince Xi raised his hand and directly flicked the body of the Hundred Corpses Demon Monarch into the air; the Sky-Cracking Palm Force struck Prince Xi, causing him to bleed from the corner of his mouth and stagger backward but he didn’t mind, instead laughing maniacally.

With both palms grabbing at the void, the just-ascended Hundred Corpses Demon Monarch was once again caught by him.

Immediately after, he leaped into the air.

Looking down from above, all parts of the battlefield were engaged in combat.

People were mixed, with various methods coming forth. Some had dharma aspects appearing behind them; others had sword edges soaring to the sky, and a full moon was suspended in mid-air, with sword lights sweeping across, leaving rivers of blood in its wake.

After taking everything in with his eyes, he aimed at Wu Qianhuan, who was magnificently demonstrating her prowess with the Xiaoyue Cold Sword Technique.

His figure swung around, and he shouted softly:

"Off you go!!!"

Wu Qianhuan also sensed the onset of a change and was just about to ask via Celestial Sound Transmission what was happening.

Only to see Chu Qing’s figure flicker and appear right in front of her.

She was about to speak up when a thunderous explosion echoed in all directions!

A powerful force burst forth immediately. Within the range of the explosion, all, whether friend or foe, were instantly shattered, with flesh and bones turning into a pool of blood.

The ground shattered with a rumble, rolling over, flying out in all directions, with dirt and rubble swept across.

The intense explosion lasted only a moment, but the destruction it caused was dreadful.

The explosion encompassed a range of tens of meters, as if it had become a vacuum.

Previously, anyone within it was now dead, with not even a trace remaining.

Fierce waves continued for quite a while.

Once the dust settled, a pit over ten meters deep appeared in front of everyone.

In that moment, both allies and enemies halted their actions simultaneously.

Pale-faced, they looked towards the explosion site.

Wu Qianhuan couldn’t help but look towards Chu Qing, who stood in front of her:

"You..."

Chu Qing slightly furrowed his brow, looking at his sleeve, where a thread had popped.

He then sighed:

"A pity, your meticulously chosen clothes... got ruined."

"It was just a single thread."

Wu Qianhuan wanted to ask how Chu Qing was.

But seeing his demeanor, it seemed apparent he wasn’t hurt.

"No, even if it’s just a thread... it shouldn’t be touched."

In a sudden flash, Chu Qing’s figure appeared behind Prince Xi.

After throwing out the Hundred Corpses Demon Monarch, he didn’t even glance at the result. His body was mostly empty, naturally landing, but before he could catch his breath, a palm enveloped in wind and thunder had already arrived before his face.

With a crash, the mask shattered into pieces, and the person was sent flying.

Prince Xi laughed heartily:

"Do you want to kill me? This prince said, even if I die this time, I will make sure some of your top righteous martial world experts are buried with me!

"This prince always keeps his promises..."

Before he could finish, Chu Qing was already stomping him to the ground, his fists like thunder, and in the blink of an eye, he had beaten Prince Xi to a pulp.

Prince Xi still tried to be defiant, but now he hurriedly raised his hands to block:

"Don’t... don’t kill me..."

Chu Qing was unmoved, seemingly intending to beat him to death.

And not intending to kill him with one blow, but to slowly break him.

However, Prince Xi shouted loudly again:

"I’ll tell you where the Ghost Emperor is!!!"

The punch Chu Qing was about to land halted suddenly, his eyes narrowing:

"Where?"

Prince Xi’s lips moved faintly, causing Chu Qing to slightly frown.

Just as he was about to lean closer to listen, suddenly the world turned blood-red...

A fierce, distorted, broken, ghastly blood-colored Sword Shadow rushed towards Chu Qing at lightning speed!

This sword appeared with a terrifying power!

Where it passed, within a radius of over ten meters, the ground shattered, with flying grit forming a smoke dragon.

In Prince Xi’s eyes, a gleam of mockery appeared, but upon looking at Chu Qing again, he noticed his calm expression, seemingly... long anticipated!?
