Chapter 749: Chapter 406: Dragons and Serpents Rise Upon the Land
The blade was not a famous blade, the weapon not a sharp weapon.
But the moment it fell into Chu Qing’s hands, there was a resonant hum, like a divine weapon.
Its sharpness rose with Chu Qing’s momentum, instantly giving an impression of reaching the heavens and piercing the earth.
The General’s expression remained calm, seeming to naturally possess an aura of tranquility, remaining unmoved no matter how the winds blew from all sides.
Only thin strands of murderous intent poured out from the Celestial Slayer Sword.
The moment the wind rose, a tumultuous wave surged forth with a howl.
The Sword Technique used by the General is like his name, and like his sword... named [Celestial Killing Swordsmanship]!
This is the legacy of successive Generals.
Assuming the position of General, naturally one takes up the name Celestial Kill.
Wielding the Celestial Slayer Sword, mastering [Celestial Killing Swordsmanship].
Yet the current Celestial Kill General is the strongest one ever.
He comprehensively integrated his predecessors’ learnings, innovated, and elevated the original [Celestial Killing Swordsmanship] to a new height.
Now when the killer intent arises, heaven and earth are overturned!
The airwave carried the sword’s edge, stirring up a monstrous wave, red as if coagulated blood, exuding a bone-chilling cold aura before contact.
When Chu Qing raised his eyes, he seemed to see within the surge countless gruesome wails, bloody figures struggling in the waves, trying to drag all living beings around into the brutal Eternal Hell, yet still unable to escape their fate.
What Chu Qing saw was naturally not real but a hallucination induced by the intense murderous intent within the Sword Technique.
Between the opening and closing of his eyes, all distractions were silent.
A point of divine light gathered between his brows, illuminating his whole body like glass, as if a halo formed behind him from the gathering of three energies.
Driven by his Inner Breath, sand and stones flew instantly.
Clefts spread from beneath his feet in all directions, and he opened his eyes, knife glare converging in his gaze.
Suddenly, he rose into the air.
While in mid-air, he gripped his blade with both hands, and fiercely slashed down!
As the blade’s glare expanded, it was no longer twelve zhang long, extending thirty zhang amidst its sweep!
Already spanning a hundred meters.
The burgeoning blade glow was like a divine blade opening the heavens, piercing into the tumultuous bloody wave in an instant.
A resounding explosion!!
When the blade’s glow and the bloody wave touched, powerful forces swept around.
The earth’s surface was peeled layer by layer, dust and sand infused with both individuals’ Inner Breath Gang Qi roared like dragons, growled like beasts.
Fortunately, although the two were on the battlefield, it seemed like they were detached from it.
No one approached them, for fear of dying too quickly.
So when they were chatting earlier, nobody was around; people stayed far away, leaving the vast space in between for their idle talk.
Now, as the powerful aura erupted, with forces spreading, the ground collapsed, rocks crumbled, yet no unfortunate person was swept inside instantaneously.
Except for Prince Xi...
Half of his already broken body was turned into a bloody mist, perishing without a trace amidst the erupting force.
And when the force rippled out to the surrounding crowd, it was already insufficient to shred them.
Nonetheless, the fierce wind still blew people away... Although not dead, the first batch affected suffered serious injuries.
Realizing this, Liu Zhaonian and others fighting the Eight Great Battle Generals knew the battlefield was unsafe again.
They immediately continued to lead their group to retreat, leaving a vast space for these two to duel.
Their outcome would decide the finale of this battle.
Just as members of the Celestial Evil Cult failed to block Chu Qing, they couldn’t block the General either...
This was a duel beyond their intervention!
Meanwhile, the General’s surge and Chu Qing’s blade glow nearly simultaneously extinguished after a fierce clash.
But the sharpness did not retreat!
Chu Qing slashed down with the blade, the General raised his sword to meet it.
A crisp ding was heard.
Piercing winds swept again, dust around was cleared, raising a 360-degree layer of sharpness around the two.
Thank goodness, at this moment, neither trees nor stones were nearby.
If there were trees, they’d fall; if there were stones, they’d split.
As for people, they had been swept out of the sharpness range during the first collision, thus nobody perished because of this.
Only now did the resounding crash echo, and the ground beneath the General’s feet suddenly sank, triggering further collapse within a dozen zhang radius.
As his form sank, the General twisted the Celestial Slayer Sword in his hand, releasing force and striking down.
Chu Qing instantly released the grip, spinning the blade one and a half times within his palm, eroding the General’s force while directing the sharp edge back at him, launching a horizontal slash.
Ding!!!
Blade and sword collided once more, unleashing powerful forces within.
Two figures touched and instantly parted, rebounded by the force, darting left and right.
This retreat was both retreating dozens of zhang, the General’s feet digging into the ground, carving two deep trenches, stabilizing his retreat with Thousand-Pound Weight, before stepping forward, merging with the sword, killing towards Chu Qing!
Chu Qing’s feet seemed shrouded by thunder, stabilizing his form the instant he lifted his head to look at the General.
A sinister blue glow shimmered in his eyes.
The clear spring in his mind was instantly drained.
Celestial Sound Transmission was born from it and ceased as the spring dried.
The General shuddered, his sword was momentarily stagnant, his mind suddenly blank.
His sword forgot how to wield, the air he gathered forgot how to release.
