System: I Can Open Martial Arts Chests-Chapter 112 - 89: Missing
The same question arose in Qi Guan’s mind, the horror in his heart was beyond words.
Over the years, the Blood God Pill shaped his entire Inner Power.
In terms of Inner Strength, he believed he was not weaker than others, otherwise, he would not have been able to take the Chaotic God Saber.
But unexpectedly, after years of bitter training, the first time he faced a true master, he was defeated so miserably.
"Sir... what kind of person are you?
"I have no grievances or enmity with you..."
Qi Guan spoke with a strained voice: "Why, why suddenly attack... to kill me?"
"Where is the Chaotic God Saber?"
Chu Qing left him alive, intending to probe for some information from him.
No beating around the bush, straight to the point.
"You... you actually know the Chaotic God Saber?"
Qi Guan stared at Chu Qing in shock, suddenly seeming to realize something:
"Are you one of those few people from Qingxi Village?"
Chu Qing slightly frowned, the Cyan Night Sword hummed as it came out of its sheath, and with a single strike, pierced Qi Guan’s wrist. The sword tip flicked, and a hand flew away.
Qi Guan’s face turned deathly pale instantly, unable to suppress a scream.
He was severely injured now, but not necessarily dead.
But now, the other party chopped off one of his hands without a word; no matter today’s outcome, this hand would never grow back.
His heart was filled with horror and dread, as he heard Chu Qing’s ice-cold voice:
"I ask, you answer."
"...The Chaotic God Saber, offered to the Hall Master."
Qi Guan understood Chu Qing’s intent, so he answered readily this time.
Chu Qing looked at Qi Guan silently, suddenly asking:
"The forging method of the Chaotic God Saber, the alchemy method of the Blood God Pill, where did they originate from?"
Upon hearing this, Qi Guan’s heart once again trembled violently.
This person not only knows the Chaotic God Saber but also the Blood God Pill!
He had been tracking him all the way from Qingxi Village, he had been to the Yinfeng Stronghold!!
That... that person?
Thinking this, Qi Guan couldn’t care about Chu Qing’s ruthless methods, hurriedly asking: 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
"Did you release that person?"
Even at this time, he did not utter the words ’Yinfeng Stronghold’, fearing that he guessed wrong and inadvertently exposed himself.
Chu Qing flicked the sword in his hand again, and the other hand vanished as well.
Qi Guan let out another scream.
Qing Ling shrank her neck watching beside; what kind of living King Yama is this?
The way he’s interrogating, in just a few moves, the person being tortured might die.
Perhaps he wasn’t here to interrogate but simply to kill.
"Are you talking about Jiang Divine Saber?"
Chu Qing’s eyes looked at Qi Guan with a half-smile.
Qi Guan’s forehead was covered with fine cold sweat from pain; upon hearing this, his whole body seemed to lose strength, slumping directly to the ground.
He pulled at the corner of his mouth, his laughter tinged with despair:
"You actually released him... you really did release him!
"Did you think, did you think he was the Hall Master?
"You have no idea who exactly you released!"
Hearing this, Chu Qing nodded:
"Since you say so, then that means that person isn’t Jiang Divine Saber...
"Is he Pei Wuji, of the Celestial Evil Cult?"
Qi Guan was already in despair; hearing Chu Qing’s words, he couldn’t help but be surprised again:
"You, you actually know!?"
Chu Qing said nothing and instead let him go.
At the time Jiang Divine Saber recounted his ordeals to him, many parts could actually match.
Making his lies seem incredibly real.
Only one point was wrong.
If the Celestial Evil Cult’s goal was God’s Tears Iron, and they already mastered the method of forging the Chaotic God Saber.
After obtaining God’s Tears Iron, why keep Jiang Divine Saber alive?
The reason Jiang Divine Saber gave was that they wanted him to know, that even if he disclosed nothing, the Chaotic God Saber could still be forged in the end.
To let him see, what would be the fate of his Divine Blade Hall if they opposed the Celestial Evil Cult.
This explanation seemed unproblematic, but... it’s somewhat absurd.
If Pei Wuji and Jiang Divine Saber’s identities were swapped.
In past years, Pei Wuji found Jiang Divine Saber, but ultimately didn’t know what method Jiang Divine Saber used to counteract Pei Wuji.
Not only did he not seize the Divine Blade Hall, but instead ended up imprisoning Pei Wuji at Yinfeng Stronghold.
All these years, they weren’t asking for the whereabouts of God’s Tears Iron.
But were after the forging method of the Chaotic God Saber, and the alchemy method of the Blood God Pill.
Perhaps, Pei Wuji used these two conditions to make Jiang Divine Saber spare his life, merely imprisoning him.
Thus, places that originally were illogical, became reasonable.
Yet, in this way, the point of unreason becomes, what made Jiang Divine Saber capable of achieving this?
Chu Qing suspected ’Jiang Divine Saber’ at the time, but didn’t disclose it.
Also because, although his explanation was somewhat illogical, it was very heroic.
In the Martial World, there are always such people who do illogical things because of a heroic spirit.
So he still needed to see for himself.
Now, he received the true answer from Qi Guan’s mouth.
After thinking for a moment, he sheathed his sword, casting a glance at Qing Ling.
Qing Ling’s expression changed:
"I, I just wanted to steal something, doesn’t deserve death... spare me!"
"..."
Chu Qing ignored her words, grabbing her by the nape and leaping out of the window, disappearing into the night in an instant.
Qi Guan lay at the same spot, in a daze for a while, then realized he had escaped death.
Despite the pain in his hands, he was utterly disheveled.
He struggled to support himself from the ground, secretly regulating his Inner Strength, using Inner Breath to seal the acupoints of his hands, preventing the blood from flowing too rapidly.
