Chapter 753 - 408: The General Is Dead!
Chapter 753: Chapter 408: The General Is Dead!
The red light at first glance was just a point, like a firefly, resembling pearl light.
Yet in a trance, it expanded into a circle.
It was like a blood-red star pulled to the top of everyone’s head in an instant, ready to fall at any moment.
A desolate wind rose from nowhere, sweeping across the vast land, piercing everyone’s hearts.
The feeling of impending doom surged into everyone’s hearts in an instant.
The ground began to shake violently, making it hard for people to stand firm; they could only use the Thousand-Pound Weight technique to stabilize themselves.
The General stood in despair, hair hanging down, yet remained unmoved amidst the shaking world.
Even his eyes were closed.
Threads of red light appeared under the blood-red star above him.
In the blink of an eye, they poured down.
Chu Qing stood with arms folded, looking up at the sky.
At the moment the red glow poured down, a warning rose in his heart.
He tapped lightly underfoot, and his figure abruptly left the spot.
Blood-red sword radiance suddenly rose from the ground, soaring over ten feet high, fierce and hideous, similar in shape to the Celestial Slayer Sword.
And this was merely the beginning.
This sword radiance seemed to have eyes, able to track Chu Qing’s direction.
The sharpness incessantly rose from the ground, extending like veins, wherever Chu Qing went, the sword intent pursued.
Meanwhile, the thin, fog-like red glow above also descended.
Wherever it passed by, there was silence... yet whether it was trees, boulders, or people.
The moment they were touched, they vanished.
When it landed on the ground, the surface was shaved off!
The Sword Skill Cultivation of the Celestial Killing Swordsmanship, consists of four realms.
First Layer, human thoughts bring about lethal intent, heaven and earth overturn.
The General performed this move, raising towering waves, only for Chu Qing to shatter it with a single strike.
Second Layer, earthly thoughts bring about lethal intent, dragons and snakes arise.
All things on earth became sword, the sword qi of the dragon was supposed to be invincible, yet Chu Qing moved the sword edge away using Tai Chi Swordsmanship, causing an otherwise world-shocking strike to miss.
Third Layer, heavenly thoughts bring about lethal intent, star shifting.
This was the realm that the General had never reached before.
Because this realm had reached a state of divine clarity.
The Sword Manual states: imbue the spirit in heaven and earth, where the intent reaches, the sword is born, where the heart thinks, the sword travels all over!
This method had risen from mere sword skills and sword intent to a degree that the General could not comprehend.
Although passed down through generations, the Celestial Slayer lineage reached its pinnacle with this present General.
Yet he still dared not doubt the Secret Technique Manuals left by predecessors, only thinking it was his lack of understanding, unable to grasp the mystery.
In fact, it was so proven.
In today’s battle with Chu Qing, wandering through life and death, he finally comprehended what ’imbue the spirit in heaven and earth’ meant.
There is no manual for heaven and earth, where does the divine spirit imbue?
But today, being wounded to near death by Chu Qing, when the Celestial Slayer Sword showed cracks, he finally gained some insight.
The Celestial Slayer Sword was not a Divine Weapon; the reason it achieved such prowess was because it was a sword of a hundred battles.
Having drunk untold amounts of blood, obtained by unknown heroic figures.
They fought bloodily with the Celestial Slayer Sword, enriching and nourishing the sword body with blood and willpower.
Spiritual Will, though intangible, can affect the tangible.
The Celestial Slayer Sword became a Divine Weapon by harnessing this spirit.
This is the imbuing of spirit!
The Celestial Slayer Sword was passively imbued with spirit and willpower, whereas to comprehend the Third Layer of heavenly lethal intent, actively motivating it was necessary.
It was not easy, but fortunately, the General was a rare talent.
Although he broke through amid battle, he ultimately gained something.
As for the Fourth Layer of Celestial Killing Swordsmanship.
That was a legendary technique, even the creator of Celestial Killing Swordsmanship never truly mastered this move.
Even... some of it was erased.
This Fourth Realm, is Heaven and Man Combined, Foundation of Ten Thousand Transformations!
It is said that if one cultivates Celestial Killing Swordsmanship to this realm, they can become invincible in the world.
No matter how supreme the grand master, in the face of this strike, they will turn to nothing.
Even the heaven and earth can be slashed apart with a single sword!
But half of the Heart Method of this realm was erased, further critiqued by a grand master of the Celestial Evil Cult as: preposterous nonsense!
Believing this realm to be completely unfounded, even if forcibly cultivated, one would surely die from madness.
But even the first two realms were already unattainable for ordinary people.
Even though the Fourth Layer is hard to achieve, the Celestial Killing Swordsmanship remains an unparalleled Secret Technique.
And so it is.
The Third Layer’s heavenly lethal intent, star shifting, at this moment, unleashed its power recklessly.
Chu Qing’s figure was like a shuttle, his Lightweight Technique was already extremely advanced.
Having integrated Chasing Star and Moon Step, Wild Goose Skill, Floating Floss Mist Art, Lightning Divine Step, he could traverse void space without touching the ground.
With the Wind God Leg’s blessing, he could stand in the void, his figure not falling.
Rising with the Wind Momentum, even if the world’s first Divine Thief You Zong was present, it would be hard to say he could surpass Chu Qing in Lightweight Technique.
But at this moment, with such speed, Chu Qing still struggled to escape the heavenly lethal intent of this sword.
This was malice descending from the sky, as if the heavens and earth would not tolerate him.
No matter how fast his speed, where his figure reached, the sword edge followed like shadow, like a bone-infesting parasite.
Shaking his foot, the surroundings shattered, the sword edge that was about to soar also shattered under his foot.
But the shattered Flying Stones transformed into countless tiny swords, killing towards Chu Qing from all directions.
Such Martial Arts, not to mention having been seen, have never even been heard of!
