System: I Can Open Martial Arts Chests-Chapter 70 - 68: Mingyu
"Dead... dead!"
Everyone who witnessed this scene, even Chu Yunfei and Chu Tian, couldn’t believe their eyes.
What exactly happened in that moment just now?
They saw Chu Yan’s figure flicker, like a ghost.
They also saw Chu Qing throw a Flying Saber.
The Flying Saber passed through each spot where Chu Yan had been, shattering into a pool of blood.
Finally, it pierced through Chu Yan’s throat.
They saw all these things, yet they dared not believe it.
This was too bizarre!
But Chu Yan was indeed dead.
Not only dead, but he died miserably.
Blood seemed to form a river beneath Chu Yan’s feet, spreading out.
His withered corpse lay there on that blood river.
People looked at that Flying Saber, which they hadn’t pinned much hope on, and then looked at the corpse lying on the ground.
Finally, they unanimously directed their gaze towards Chu Qing.
They saw him step forward to the stone pillar, pulled out the Willow Leaf Flying Saber, examined it carefully, and shook his head.
This Flying Saber had killed two people and was now embedded in the stone, making it unusable.
He casually tossed it onto Chu Yan’s body, looked back, and seemed a bit surprised:
"Why is everyone looking at me?"
Wu Ganqi glanced at Chu Yunfei and, seeing no cues from him, stood up:
"Thank you... Lord Night Emperor.
"Tonight’s assistance, Celestial Dance City will never forget."
"City Lord Wu, you’re too polite."
Chu Qing smiled:
"Miss Wu is an old customer of mine. If there’s anything you need in the future, you can tell me. The price is negotiable."
Wu Ganqi felt this topic was somewhat off.
He was genuinely grateful, so how had the conversation turned to such shady dealings in just two sentences?
He had to cough lightly:
"Alright, alright... if I ever want someone killed, I’ll definitely come to you."
"Deal."
The advertisement for ’killing’ was out there, and Chu Qing nodded contentedly:
"So that’s settled. It seems you’ll all be quite busy next. I won’t disturb you here. Oh, Miss Wu, prepare the silver; I’ll come to collect it in a few days."
"..."
Wu Qianhuan was momentarily speechless, but as she watched Chu Qing turn to leave, she quickly called out:
"Wait, I have something to tell you."
However, Chu Qing had already leapt into the air and exited the City Lord’s Mansion.
Wu Qianhuan deeply watched his departing figure but ultimately did not chase after him.
Wu Ganqi picked up the Flying Saber, examined it closely, and after a moment, spoke in a deep voice:
"What a terrifying person."
Chu Yunfei had by now arranged for his two sons to be carried away. Although Chu Fan was unconscious, he wasn’t seriously injured, just fainted.
In comparison, Chu Tian’s injury from inner breath backlash looked more severe.
However, this injury only needed a few days of calm recovery to heal.
Hearing Wu Ganqi’s comment, he perked up, took a couple of steps forward despite his weakness:
"Isn’t the terrifying one that Flying Saber?"
"The Flying Saber is just an ordinary Willow Leaf Flying Saber."
Wu Ganqi handed the Flying Saber to Chu Yunfei:
"But to use such a saber to kill someone like Chu Yan... do you think it’s the saber that’s terrifying or the person more so?"
No matter which is terrifying, it doesn’t matter.
That kid is my son!
Chu Yunfei was feeling proud, about to speak, but started coughing, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.
Wu Ganqi was startled and quickly called out:
"Someone get a doctor! You’re of an age; if you’re hurt, go and rest. Why are you here discussing swords with me?"
Today’s great battle had everyone in Celestial Dance City injured, yet it was a huge victory.
The biggest unexpected event was Chu Yan.
But he also died by Chu Qing’s Flying Saber.
Hence, it was time for a break, to care for the wounded, and to clean the battlefield.
These tasks were quite cumbersome and required someone to oversee them.
But they had nothing to do with Chu Qing.
His main concern was the situation of Chu Yunfei and the others, but seeing Chu Yunfei seemingly quite lively.
Chu Fan and Chu Tian’s situation wasn’t great... but with Wu Ganqi and others around, it shouldn’t be too dire.
Therefore, having left the City Lord’s Mansion, his plan was to head directly home.
After killing Gu Qianqiu, his [Assassination Order] task was complete.
The system awaited his choice of a designated Treasure Chest to open.
However, upon coming out, he noticed many people surrounding the City Lord’s Mansion.
These were all Jianghu People within Celestial Dance City, either wandering the Martial World and arriving here by chance or staying temporarily in Celestial Dance City for other reasons.
But tonight’s big hubbub in Celestial Dance City had naturally caught their attention.
Now Wu Ganqi and the others all bore injuries.
No one could guarantee that this group wouldn’t take advantage.
Therefore, Chu Qing suppressed his impulse to return and open the treasure chest immediately, deciding to stay a bit longer.
If anyone dared to act rashly, he’d just use the Flying Saber.
However, before he encountered anyone rash, he heard sounds of a fight.
"Could it be the Celestial Dance Guard discovered something and got into a conflict?"
Chu Qing thought about it and moved toward the source of the sound, but one look at the combatants left him stunned.
He saw a Cyan Robe girl pressing down a Black Robe girl in a fight.
"Gentle?"
Chu Qing blinked. No wonder he hadn’t seen her tonight; she must have been stationed around here, guarding against disturbances within the city, right?
