System: I Can Open Martial Arts Chests-Chapter 129 - 97: Worthy of Ten Thousand Deaths! (Part 2)
Clang!!
Another buzzing sound echoed as Chu Qing swiftly retreated, landing on the ground with both feet, the Cyan Night Sword in his hand trembling slightly.
He glanced down, shifted his Inner Breath, and suppressed the sword’s hum.
Looking back at Jiang Divine Saber, his eyes seemed somewhat complex.
Jiang Divine Saber was now controlled by the Chaotic God. This God’s Tears Iron, forged with hundreds of lives as sacrifices, gave birth to the Chaotic God Saber.
It could surely be said to be a demon saber that brings chaos to the Martial World.
Jiang Divine Saber had previously attempted to discard the saber, a move Chu Qing witnessed, which should have been his best opportunity to strike.
However, what Jiang Divine Saber said at that time left Chu Qing slightly stunned.
He said he had been deceived?
The only thought Chu Qing could come up with was that it was Pei Wuji who deceived him.
This thought had barely crossed his mind when he struck.
Yet, he was still a step too late.
At that moment, the saber light that erupted was the prelude to the Chaotic God Saber completely taking control of Jiang Divine Saber.
Jiang Divine Saber was different from the little blacksmith in Qingxi Village.
The little blacksmith never knew martial arts; the power he wielded in Qingxi Village was mainly due to the Chaotic God Saber’s assistance.
But Jiang Divine Saber was different... He had been arduously training for years, his Inner Power reaching its pinnacle.
With the Divine Blade Hall planting Blood Fruits these past years and refining Blood God Pills, it is hard to say that Jiang Divine Saber never consumed any.
Therefore, his Inner Power far exceeded what was commonly known.
Yet Chu Qing understood, what truly blocked his sword wasn’t Jiang Divine Saber’s own skill.
It was the Chaotic God Saber!
This person now existed in an extremely bizarre state of ’Human-Sword Unity’, terrifying beyond measure.
Throughout their encounter, Chu Qing had noticed multiple times that whenever he could pierce Jiang Divine Saber with his sword, the saber would shield the vital spot swiftly.
Judging by Jiang Divine Saber’s own movements, under normal circumstances, he couldn’t accomplish that.
Therefore, it’s the saber leading the person.
Not the person wielding the saber!
"He is on the verge of becoming a Sword Puppet."
Chu Qing suddenly realized something. The little blacksmith once said that upon grasping this saber, if one fails to subdue it at that moment, they will be devoured by the saber, becoming a Sword Puppet.
The little blacksmith was such a case.
Jiang Divine Saber, overestimating himself, thought he could control the Chaotic God Saber, but it turned out to be a trap.
The truly terrifying ones weren’t Jiang Divine Saber, nor the Chaotic God Saber.
But Pei Wuji quietly scheming all this from behind!
This person is now here... When will he strike?
Thoughts whirled in Chu Qing’s mind; without this person’s appearance, nothing was over.
With this in mind, Chu Qing suddenly delivered a palm strike.
This was the first palm he struck in their duel today.
Blade and sword glint separated, leaving Jiang Divine Saber no choice but to counter palm with palm.
Boom!!!
A muffled sound echoed as Chu Qing’s body swayed slightly, while Jiang Divine Saber stumbled back three steps, each step sending rubble flying off the ground.
The next moment, the two figures just separated collided again.
The clash of blade and sword continued, with Chu Qing occasionally delivering palm strikes.
He condensed his power using the Mingyu Scripture, striking with palm wind that was sometimes soundless, other times icy cold.
Yet, Jiang Divine Saber seemed entirely indifferent to this.
No matter how strong the palm force, upon reaching him, it was as if it vanished into thin air, completely ineffective.
In the blink of an eye, the two separated again, leaving everyone present dumbfounded.
They dared not miss a single moment from the beginning till now.
While unable to see the details of the fight, they were amazed by the ’Night Emperor’s’ sword technique and utterly revered his profound Inner Power.
The duel had gone through countless moves.
Every exchange was full force, stripping a layer off the training ground.
In such fierce combat, one might say Jiang Divine Saber was utilizing decades of arduous training, his Inner Power inexhaustible.
But what about this ’Night Emperor’?
How does he seem to have no depletion whatsoever?
This truly is bizarre.
However, the true strangeness occurred at this moment.
As Jiang Divine Saber, holding the Chaotic God Saber, stepped forward intending to swing again, his wrist suddenly seemed unable to support the saber’s weight.
With a crack, his bone suddenly snapped, his entire arm bending in an unbelievably peculiar manner.
Jiang Divine Saber’s dark eyes instinctively glanced at his own hand.
Immediately after, a crisp crackling sound came from both his legs.
The entire person fell to the ground with a thud.
Chu Qing’s Bone-Softening Palm, which had landed on him, finally took effect.
Everyone watched the scene before them, dumbfounded, feeling their minds were a bit muddled.
Just moments ago, the two of them were evenly matched in the fight. How did Jiang Divine Saber suddenly kneel?
Chu Qing’s eyes beneath the mask showed a hint of solemnity as he slowly walked towards Jiang Divine Saber:
"Jiang Divine Saber!"
His voice boomed, reaching the ears of everyone present:
"You forged swords with human lives. Over six hundred lives in Qingxi Village perished in the furnace flames!
"What’s more, you harbored bandits in Yinfeng Stronghold, letting them dominate.
"You view human lives as livestock, killing and skinning them at will, and demanding everything.
"You even used human blood to nurture Demon Fruit and refined Demon Cores with it!
"Such acts can only be described as heinous.
"The people within the Divine Blade Hall realm live as if in hell, though they walk on earth.
"You... deserve a thousand deaths!!!"
His words seemed to carry an invisible force, making even those who hadn’t thought Jiang Divine Saber’s actions were wrong feel a sense of resentment.
And those already filled with indignation at Jiang Divine Saber’s actions were even more furious.
"Deserving of a thousand deaths!"
"Slay this beast!!"
"Kill him!!!"
Luo Cheng, who had retreated to the side, changed his expression drastically upon seeing the situation, remembering what had happened to their Hall Master now; he had seen it before.
Qi Guan had died in exactly this way!
Immediately he shouted in anger:
"It’s you!!!
"Stop, don’t harm our Hall Master!!"
Stepping forward, he heard a series of thudding sounds, and a group leaped out at once, trying to intercept Chu Qing.
They were Luo Cheng’s Eight Great Vajras.
Each had a strong foundation in martial arts through horizontal training.
Regardless of their safety, they reached out to grab Chu Qing.
However, Chu Qing wielded his sword like a finger, its blade faintly covered in frost, moving forward like a fleeting meteor.
In an instant, he swept past the Eight Great Vajras.
Their bodies stood still, and an icy frost spread rapidly from the tip of Chu Qing’s sword over their entire bodies, rendering their Protective Divine Skill useless, and they died on the spot!
Luo Cheng shouted in anger, stabilizing his stance like a mountain.
Chu Qing wielded his sword in his right hand and struck with his left palm.
The Mingyu Scripture enveloped the palm momentum, crashing onto Luo Cheng’s chest with a thud.
Luo Cheng’s martial arts skill focused on both internal and external techniques.
Aside from a few weaknesses, he was nearly invulnerable.
But when Chu Qing’s palm struck his chest, the cold infiltrated through his skin, and intense pain seemed to bypass his Protective Divine Skill.
A cracking sound was heard from his chest, unclear whether it was the bone or skin breaking.
The next moment, a spray of blood mist shot out from his back.
This palm strike from Chu Qing was delivered with full power.
Not only did it shatter Luo Cheng’s Protective Hard Skill, but the palm force pierced right through him entirely.
The light in Luo Cheng’s eyes faded almost instantly.
Though his stance remained unaltered, he was already dead.
The concept of invulnerability was only relative; in the face of absolute power disparity, everything else was merely ridiculous fancy!
Chu Qing stepped past Luo Cheng and reached Jiang Divine Saber.
With a flick of his sword, Jiang Divine Saber’s head rolled off his neck.
[Commission complete!]
[Successfully assassinated the main culprit of the Qingxi Village massacre, obtaining one ’Random Martial Arts Treasure Chest.’]
The system’s notification arrived as expected.
Chu Qing’s gaze turned to the hand still gripping the Chaotic God Saber on Jiang Divine Saber’s corpse.
With Jiang Divine Saber’s head on the ground, everyone present also stared at the Chaotic God Saber.
They didn’t know the details of the Chaotic God Saber, but they had witnessed Jiang Divine Saber nearly defeating all these martial experts with it.
Now that Jiang Divine Saber was dead... who would claim the Chaotic God?
As thoughts spun around, Chu Qing stretched out and grabbed it. The Chaotic God saber hummed and leaped into Chu Qing’s palm.
