Chapter 745: Chapter 404: Origin?
Thanks to the earth-shattering explosion by the Hundred Corpses Demon Monarch earlier, its immense power caused everyone to pause.
So when this sword emerged, everyone had their eyes on it.
This is the General’s sword!
He’s not dead!
At this moment, the force enveloped by the sword edge was truly terrifying.
Everywhere it passed, though it didn’t touch the ground, it instantly tore a deep trench into the earth.
The shrill sword cry entered everyone’s ears, giving them a sense of impending doom.
Liu Zhaonian’s eyes almost burst as he wanted to shout for Chu Qing to be careful, but it was too late.
Wu Qianhuan’s pupils could only contract for a moment, and before he could react further, the sword was already behind Chu Qing.
This is an ambush!
A bloody, premeditated ambush.
Yet no one expected that a master swordsman like the General would employ such underhanded tactics in a battle between the two sides.
Feign death and hide, then attack from behind!
Anyone with a reputation in the Martial World, whether righteous or evil, would value their honor after reaching a certain height.
The General had countless strong warriors under his command, with renown and Martial Arts of the highest caliber in the world.
Who would have thought that he would completely disregard his reputation and employ such tactics in front of so many people?
The more unexpected, the more terrifying!
Although it was only a brief moment, at this instant, everyone’s heart was gripped as if it turned into eternity.
But it was also in this eternal instant that Chu Qing’s hand, originally aimed at Prince Xi, suddenly turned palm down, brewing a True Qi Ball.
This True Qi Ball, round and complete upon its appearance, stirred the wind and raised clouds.
Wind and clouds gathered and swirled for a moment, with extreme cold descending upon the world!
From Chu Qing as the center point, the cold aura spread in all directions in an instant, a chill capable of freezing souls.
The frost was not only in people’s consciousness but also raised layers of rime on the ground, covering the four corners of the earth, and even enveloped that sword.
The frost on the sword blade lasted only a moment, but... the sword was unaffected.
At the same instant, the blazing sun hung high, the heavenly might scorching!
The wind and clouds formed one path, the extreme cold another, Pure Yang the third.
The three paths formed the Three Yuan, balanced by the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth, then united into one by the Three Points Returning to Yuan Qi, a unique adaptation by Chu Qing!
With a push of the palm, the momentum carried backward.
The sword blade arrived at this moment, piercing directly into the True Qi in Chu Qing’s palm.
Two immense forces erupted instantly.
At this moment, the ground shook and the mountains trembled, as if the entire Immortal Cloud Mountain was quaking.
The ground shattered with a roar, trees collapsed instantly, yet before they could fall, they were shredded by the exploded Sword Qi, and blasted to pieces by the pulsing True Qi, scattering debris everywhere!!
"Retreat!!!!"
No one knew who suddenly shouted.
People awoke from their dreams.
If not retreat now, then when?
Once the power spread, every individual would meet their end.
Immediately, everyone turned and fled, only to realize that Celestial Sound Mansion, Liaoyuan Mansion, Yao Tai Sect... and even Left Prime Minister had already made their retreat.
Only Supreme Sword Sect and Thousand Flowers Sect remained, stunned like scattered soldiers and fragmented forces, only now awakening as if from a dream.
There was no time to consider the intricacies among them, only the sense that their foresight was unparalleled, not swayed by the situation.
They just desperately moved their legs to escape this dangerous zone.
Never in their lives had they wished so desperately that their parents had given them two more legs...
Some, while running wildly, discovered that those running alongside them were not their brotherly comrades, but members of the Celestial Evil Cult.
In their panic and rush, they had fled to the righteous side of the Martial World?
Turning their heads, they realized many from the Celestial Evil Cult were also running in this direction.
Truly, in the face of genuine crisis, all notions of right and wrong are set aside; survival is the priority before victory and defeat can be determined!
But no matter how fast they ran, some inevitably perished in this massive upheaval and treacherous ambush.
The tremendous rumbling continued for quite some time.
When people felt their location was temporarily safe and looked back again, everything was obscured.
Nobody knew what had happened in that immense mist, intertwined with endless Gang Wind.
Just seeing the scope of the swirling smoke caused cold sweat to drip from everyone.
The earlier earth-shattering explosion by the Hundred Corpses Demon Monarch had already stunned the entire scene, yet compared to the present spectacle, it seemed insignificant.
Along with the shock, many hearts were filled with a sense of powerlessness.
Clearly, under the same heavens, clearly, all being human... Why is there such a gap in Martial Arts?
Especially Dai Zongming from the Thousand Flowers Sect.
In terms of stance, he and Sikong Yijian from Supreme Sword Sect were similar.
But his mind was far heavier than that of Sikong Yijian.
His heart harbored not only the Thousand Flowers Sect but the entire Lingbei Martial World.
The peak battle strength of various sects and powers was almost all within his sight...
He admitted his skills weren’t the highest, at least he should be a notch below Ji Yexue of Yao Tai Sect, much less having the Fearless Sword Heart of Sikong Yijian.
But Ji Yexue, over seventy this year, has been arduously practicing the White Jade Scripture of Eternal Life all her life, and her cultivation surpasses his, which is only natural.
Sikong Yijian’s Sword Heart is pure, a martial arts fanatic of the highest order in the world.
