Chapter 754: Chapter 408: The General Is Dead! (Part 2)
Chu Qing extended his single arm, unleashing the Celestial Frost Fist, scattering the surrounding sword edges into a flurry of frost flowers.
At the same time, he looked up and saw the blood-red color already overhead.
Each wisp, every inch, was Sword Qi honed to its utmost resilience.
Chu Qing glanced upward, having maneuvered through countless battles, now completely out of the battlefield, the surroundings empty. It was time to settle the score with the General once and for all.
He spread his arms; winds and clouds surged around him, Yin and Yang intertwined.
The Tri-Element Light Wheel appeared behind him, his entire Power in full operation. Even though he was miles from the main battlefield, Liu Zhaonian and others could still feel an overwhelmingly powerful aura descending from the sky, pressing down everything.
This feeling could not escape the notice of Liu Zhaonian and the others.
They had witnessed Chu Qing’s Martial Arts firsthand, felt the pressure he generated.
But compared to now, all those past experiences were insignificant.
The Chu Qing of now was truly at full power.
Some dared to defy death, feeling the pressure, and rushed in the direction Chu Qing had left.
Just moments before, the General had used his sword with [Celestial Mechanism, Star Shifting], causing Chu Qing to quickly leave the battlefield, taking a path of brilliance they couldn’t follow.
Now sensing it, they intended to investigate.
Martial Artists of the Jianghu, witnessing such a high-level duel in a lifetime was rare.
How could anyone not go and see?
Even if it meant dying, it would not be in vain.
Without Chu Qing’s Celestial Sound Transmission, Liu Zhaonian was uncertain of the situation beyond but knew he couldn’t be distracted now, needing to focus on the current matters.
Chu Qing’s outcome wasn’t something they could influence or even care about.
Those unafraid of death were rogue fighters of the Jianghu, determined to watch, unstoppable by anyone.
But they had their duties to fulfill...
To hold off the Celestial Evil Cult, killing every enemy they could, letting none escape.
With Liu Zhaonian’s command, the sounds of battle cries once again echoed to the heavens.
Wu Qianhuan took a deep look in Chu Qing’s direction, gritted his teeth, and turned his sword towards his opponent.
At that moment, Chu Qing’s Power reached its pinnacle.
The Tri-Element Light Wheel rotated behind, Yin Yang Wind and Cloud flowed endlessly, bringing endless Gang Wind.
Chu Qing then folded two of his fingers, leaving three extended in front.
Three-Point Divine Finger!!
This was the improved version of the Three-Point Divine Finger.
It did not involve severing two fingers, nor was it the combined Finger Force of Celestial Frost Fist, Cloud Dispelling Palm, and Wind God Leg.
This Three-Point Divine Finger was purely his own Pure Yang and Pure Yin, fused with Wind and Cloud, his massive and terrifying Cultivation, melded into one, and fully unleashed.
It could be said that, until now, this was his most thorough display of Cultivation.
Thus, when these three fingers were released, everything around seemed to freeze.
As if an invisible hand pressed pause on the world between heaven and earth.
Only Chu Qing was unaffected; he redirected his fingertips towards the blood-colored clouds pouring from the sky.
Black, white, and azure light flowed between the three fingers, spiraled into a light pillar.
Though it seemed slow, it reached the blood cloud in the sky in an instant.
Buzz!!!!
Invisible force swept across the surroundings in a split second.
Several figures had already appeared two or three miles away, standing atop a high slope, gazing from afar.
At such a distance, combined with today’s eclipse-darkened sky, they couldn’t see Chu Qing’s form.
But they could see the tri-color brilliance and the blood mist filled with killing intent in the sky.
And they truly witnessed Chu Qing’s strike against the blood mist.
Their hearts were filled with excitement.
But just when they wanted to go further in their greed, their bodies suddenly shook greatly.
Without warning, the entire hillside they stood on, along with every plant, bamboo, stone, shattered.
Only a little blood and insignificant dust remained, falling gently.
The rolling Gang Wind did not halt.
If viewed from a height, one could see Chu Qing at the center, the force radiating outward in a ring, smoothing out hills and leveling the ground over a ten-mile radius.
Within, all Jianghu experts and creatures alike, died without exception.
But it was not over!
The brilliance still flowed, tri-color brilliance and blood held in a stalemate.
Every clash sparked great force, causing Chu Qing’s form to sink slightly with each impact, flattening the ground further each time.
But in less than a breath, after seven sweeps, the blood mist in mid-air weakened.
This red mist was a dense Sword Intent, each bit capable of slaying someone instantly.
Now repelled by Chu Qing’s Tri-Element Unity, some of the red mist dissipated entirely, while some turned into countless Sword Shadows, swirling in arcs in the air, once again targeting Chu Qing.
But the Sword Shadows couldn’t surpass the Finger Force of Tri-Element Unity.
They encountered an insurmountable wall mid-air.
Countless blades stopped there, only able to be pushed along with the red mist...
In the process, the red mist kept shattering into Sword Shadows, which also shattered and vanished completely.
Initially withdrawing slowly, they were later completely powerless.
With a flash of severity in Chu Qing’s eyes, the Three-Point Divine Finger completely broke through the barrier in mid-air.
Instantly erupted into dazzling brilliance!
Finger Force pierced through the red mist, heading directly for the star in the sky.
Buzz!!!
In a split second, the blood star shattered, the clouds dispersed.
A strand of celestial light emerged, and in a blink, the curtain over the sky seemed to be slowly drawn back, transitioning from night to day.
The solar eclipse... was over.
Everything seemed perfectly timed.
Chu Qing stood collected, feeling an inexplicable sense of exhilaration.
This was his first time using his full power, feeling complete satisfaction, and even his Inner Breath circulated faster than before.
The previously stuck [Bright Jade Strategy] unexpectedly advanced.
"No wonder everyone loves challenging strong opponents; it’s indeed greatly beneficial."
Chu Qing silently marveled in his heart, then heard a prompt from the system.
[Commission Complete!]
[Successfully assassinated the General, received a ’Blood-colored Martial Arts Treasure Chest’.]
"...What?"
Chu Qing was stunned; he had noticed the task prompt was red when he accepted it.
Now that it was finished, the reward was a ’Blood-colored Martial Arts Treasure Chest’ instead of a Random Martial Arts Treasure Chest.
What was different about this compared to past chests?
Chu Qing wanted to study it, but knew it wasn’t the right time.
Liu Zhaonian and the others were still fighting fiercely; he needed to take advantage of his great victory and lead Lingbei Martial World’s people to obliterate the General’s subordinates.
With a twist, Chu Qing suddenly flew upwards, reaching the sky over the battlefield in an instant.
He stood high, hovering in the void.
Someone keen-eyed saw Chu Qing and immediately shouted:
"The Alliance Leader has returned!"
"Alliance Leader mighty!!!"
"The Alliance Leader’s Divine Skill is unparalleled, our blessing in this martial world!!"
Wu Qianhuan, Gentle, and others looked towards Chu Qing, relieved to see him unharmed.
Liu Zhaonian, Ouyang Tianxu, were revitalized, knowing Chu Qing’s return meant victory; today’s battle was decided.
Ji Yexue also breathed a big sigh of relief... He had returned, meaning no more fighting, and they could return to retreat and cultivate sooner.
Sikong Yijian’s gaze remained steady, unmoved.
Dai Zongming looked complexly at the man in mid-air before he slowly spoke:
"The General is dead, why haven’t you surrendered!?"
