Chapter 751: Chapter 407: Solar Eclipse
The entire battlefield fell into complete silence.
The battle was still ongoing, yet everyone remained soundless.
General’s single sword strike was astonishing; though it didn’t hit the opponent, its might left everyone flabbergasted and speechless.
It was truly beyond imagination!
It’s no exaggeration to say that if they had known the General had such methods before this battle, they might have hesitated to fight.
But now, there’s no turning back.
Luckily, they still had Chu Qing on their side...
While everyone was still in shock, flames soared like a blade, traversing heaven and earth!
It was Chu Qing who had taken action once again.
General’s powerful sword strike, embodying extreme speed, must have consumed significant Inner Breath, so Chu Qing naturally wouldn’t wait for him to regain his breath.
Though the previous strike caused some damage to him—even with his current cultivation in Divine Illumination Skill—Tai Chi Swordsmanship, though formidable, wasn’t invincible.
He managed to reverse that dragon-like Sword Qi thanks to his profound Inner Power support.
Even so, his meridians inevitably trembled violently.
Fortunately, within his Divine Illumination Skill, there’s both the "Sitting God and Entering the Light" method and the ability to "Revive the Dead."
Though his meridians were momentarily injured, they quickly recovered as if nothing happened.
Immediately, he maneuvered his palms, igniting the Flame Saber.
The saber unleashed flames like a burning sky, blade energy and momentum spreading in all directions, each extending over ten zhangs. The techniques were complex, yet their speed was unparalleled!
This was the Sixteen Paths of Shocking Evil Saber!
Chu Qing wielded no physical saber, opting to use flames instead. His Flame Saber skills, combined with the Sixteen Paths of Shocking Evil Saber, created an exceptionally rare force.
General truly lived up to his title.
Chu Qing responded quickly, and General’s movements were swift as well.
The Celestial Slayer Sword in his hand turned sharply: cutting, slicing, lifting, thrusting, chopping, and sweeping...
With successive techniques, Sword Qi and flames weaved in a dance, with unforgettable speed.
General’s knowledge wasn’t purely academic; while he wasn’t widely learned, he had unique insights in martial arts.
He had once acquired the Soldier Path Killing Fist from the Chess Prince, improved it, and taught it to one of his Eight Great Battle Generals.
This allowed his subordinate, despite not being constrained by the Chess Prince, to use this extremely powerful fist technique.
From this, one could see his profound understanding of martial arts was far beyond just the Celestial Killing Swordsmanship.
The techniques he used now seemed disorganized but were always executed perfectly.
Both individuals moved swiftly, attacking fiercely and accurately, with each strike affecting a vast area.
Within just a few exchanges, the foot of Immortal Cloud Mountain once again cleared due to their fierce conflict.
In the distance, the breach in Immortal Cloud Mountain remained, and the conical hole Chu Qing had kicked was still there. Their figures moved rapidly, almost reshaping the mountain’s landscape.
The occasional loud bang was heart-stopping to listen to.
Suddenly, Chu Qing shifted his stance, his palms igniting in flames, which instantly gave rise to blade energy.
Knife intent scattered all around, with blade energy soaring to envelop the surroundings, extending the knife intent across a thousand miles.
Born alongside the endless flames!
The intense killing intent and blade energy seemed to form an isolation field that none could touch.
Within this field, there was only General.
Though he stood amidst heaven and earth, it felt as though he existed outside them.
It was Chu Qing’s saber technique isolating him from all.
Not only did the saber technique isolate the heavens and earth, it also brought forth endless winds and clouds, completely shielding him from everyone’s view.
This move was named Heaven and Earth, Ghosts and Gods are All Helpless!
It was Chu Qing’s creation, integrating Sixteen Paths of Shocking Evil Saber with the Proud Cold Six Formulas.
Now, Chu Qing infused his Flame Saber skills into it, taking the path of Pure Yang, embodying both orthodox and surprising elements, which were already infinitely powerful.
Yet he felt it wasn’t enough, thus incorporating the element of wind and clouds from his inner Three Origins into this.
Borrowing clouds to lock heaven and earth, using wind to fuel the flames.
With flames blazing across the eight directions, each flame was a blade energy; assisted by the wind momentum, it nearly engulfed the heavens with boundless power.
General, being within this, naturally understood its might.
It’s safe to say, no one in the world could understand better than him the heights of martial arts Chu Qing was demonstrating at this moment.
However, knowing or not knowing was actually irrelevant; the Celestial Slayer Sword danced in fury, instantly producing extreme clashing sounds.
Clang clang clang, clang clang clang!
General’s expression, which had hardly changed before, shifted at this moment.
Martial arts is vast as the sea, its principles deep, hard to enumerate... but in technique, it’s often focused on a single path.
If lacking strength, then win through speed.
If possessing overwhelming strength, then overpower ten techniques.
If inferior in both strength and speed, then win through exquisite techniques.
Battling with a sword is like playing chess, advancing and retreating with strategy, attacking and defending with skill, that’s superior art.
It mostly depends on oneself.
Yet there’s a principle within... extreme speed often leads to crude techniques.
With excessive speed, when the individual struggles to react, it’s just hitting wherever.
During this process, each mastery over speed and precision elevates one’s martial arts by a level.
But the saber techniques Chu Qing employed now took speed, force, and sophistication to their utmost limits.
Incredibly fast; it’s as if any thought conjures a saber strike.
The force is undeniable... with Chu Qing’s current Inner Power, even a casual move possesses lethal force to ordinary Jianghu People.
