System: I Can Open Martial Arts Chests

As he was lost in thought, a piercing scream from Luo Wushuang echoed from mid-air.

As Chu Qing’s saber momentum subsided, a figure fell from the sky.

It was Luo Wushuang, covered in blood.

He looked utterly miserable, his arms and legs shattered by Chu Qing’s sword light, leaving only a bald body, hair disheveled as he fell from the sky and vomited a mouthful of blood.

But he couldn’t care less about these, straining to look at his own body, exclaiming:

"My hands, my feet, my hands, my feet!!!"

Unable to accept this reality, he couldn’t help but roar up to the sky in anger:

"You actually cut off my hands and feet, you cut off my hands and feet!!!

"I will never forgive you, never forgive!!!"

"Consorting with the Demon Dao, you deserve such an end."

Chu Qing sneered, his eyes shifting as he was about to look for the figure of Prince Xue, but suddenly noticed Prince Xue had already arrived at Luo Wushuang’s side.

In a flash, she disappeared from Chu Qing’s sight, her speed as swift as a fleeting shadow.

"Not good!!"

Chu Qing’s heart felt something was amiss and immediately shouted:

"Everyone, retreat!!!"

With a quick movement, he charged directly towards Prince Xue.

Prince Xue’s body technique seemed like instant movement, but Chu Qing’s Lightning Divine Step was also extraordinary.

If those Jianghu People could take a step back, opening up the distance between them and Prince Xue, Chu Qing was somewhat confident that he could prevent Prince Xue from harming anyone present.

But suddenly he heard He Jingming shout:

"No!!!

"Today, as a disciple of the Taiheng Sect, we must fight to the death, and we absolutely cannot take a step back!

"Down below... are the people of Sword City!!!"

Even though he didn’t understand why Chu Qing asked everyone present to retreat.

But judging from Prince Xue’s martial arts, he could tell that her methods were indeed treacherous and cruel.

Thinking that she was now rushing into the crowd with an agenda, likely intending to restore herself somehow... but no matter what, they could not retreat today.

If they allowed her to descend the mountain.

Who could guarantee that Chu Qing would be able to kill this demon before she injured any of the residents of Sword City?

Therefore, they couldn’t retreat!

The Taiheng Sect disciples, though unclear about the specifics, heard He Jingming say, ’Below are the people of Sword City,’ and without any hesitation, they agreed.

They not only didn’t retreat but even took a step forward.

Chu Qing wanted to stop them, but at this moment, everything depended on a split-second decision.

He managed to say a sentence, which was already a luxury of time, and now there was no room to speak further.

Just as Prince Xue laughed heartily, more than a dozen Taiheng Sect disciples suddenly turned to bones without warning, their fresh blood flowing entirely into Prince Xue’s body.

The next moment, she flew into the crowd, her five fingers flickering, and severed limbs flew across the sky.

Watching her duel with Chu Qing, one might think Prince Xue was nothing special.

But now, seeing her amidst the crowd, killing like mowing grass, so-called experts seemed like mere ornaments to her, it was clear then that Prince Xue was indeed a top-notch expert.

"Stop!!"

In an instant, Chu Qing caught up, but ultimately she had killed several people already. He immediately extended his arm, and the Profound Celestial Black Gold Palm emerged.

The palm wind pierced through, only to pass through a layer of blood shadow.

If the body technique from the Blood Demon Scripture was like instant movement, then the Blood Shadow Illusion Body she now used was true teleportation.

At the cost of her vital blood, she could use this body technique spur-of-the-moment to dance through life-and-death scenarios easily.

Looking back, Prince Xue had already brought Luo Wushuang to the center of the field.

In her hand, she held a pile of limbs, quickly pressing one arm onto Luo Wushuang’s shoulder.

Luo Wushuang’s cry grew more pitiful, yet threads of blood emanated from Prince Xue’s hand, and Luo Wushuang, astounded, found that his arm was no longer in pain.

Moreover, his hand could move... no, to be precise, it wasn’t his hand.

It belonged to a disciple of the Taiheng Sect.

But regardless, at this moment, this hand was attached to his body.

"There are such methods?"

Even Luo Wushuang, seeing Prince Xue’s skill, couldn’t help but be utterly surprised.

Prince Xue said nothing, merely continuing to attach the limbs to Luo Wushuang, forcefully matching them onto Luo Wushuang’s body with the Blood Demon Scripture, allowing him to stand up with a swoosh, moving his hands and feet as smoothly as the limb’s owner would.

At this moment, he wished he could kneel and bow to Prince Xue, truly a life-giving mother, kindness as immense as a mountain.

While attaching a hand taken from an unknown female disciple onto herself, Prince Xue slightly furrowed her brow:

"Don’t be too happy too soon; these limbs aren’t yours. I’ve temporarily suppressed them with the Asura Sea, allowing you to use them at will.

"But over time, there will definitely be disturbances.

"If you want your own hands and feet, then put in some deadly effort, and together with me, kill this man.

"Once the big task is completed, I will personally find the most suitable hands and feet for you!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Wushuang immediately nodded:

"Even if you don’t say so, I would also fight him to the death!"

In his life, he had never endured such an experience, having his limbs severed, that despair even surpassed the hatred of his parents’ murder.

The resentment towards Chu Qing had already peaked.

Now taking a step forward, he coldly looked at Chu Qing:

"You didn’t expect it, did you? Now my limbs have grown back... what can you do to me?

"Today, you must die within the Taiheng Sect!"

Chu Qing’s gaze swept over the corpses of the Taiheng Sect’s disciples, who had all their blood drained by Prince Xue...

It made his feelings toward the Taiheng Sect even more complicated.

Chu Qing blamed them for being prejudiced, not allowing room for explanation.

Casually inflicting cruelty upon others.

But now, seeing them willing to risk their lives, refusing to let Prince Xue descend Taiheng Mountain and harm the people in Sword City.

Whether it’s self-motivation or a futile effort...

It made Chu Qing feel that the Taiheng Sect was ultimately worthy of being the Righteous Path of Martial World.

Things in this world are never simply black and white. Many in the Taiheng Sect were quick to believe rumors, but there were also those like Chen Zhengnan who were clear about right and wrong.

He Jingming might have some cunning in martial arts, yet stood firm on righteousness.

There were those like Ge Hong who, for the sect’s reputation, unscrupulously slandered Chu Qing, but also ones like Ling Beichen, whose martial prowess and demeanor naturally engendered goodwill.

This was a sect, formed by many individuals.

Thus it was complex, multifaceted, flawed, but also admirable in other ways.

Chu Qing gently exhaled, taking a step forward and softly spoke:

"You want me to die inside the Taiheng Sect?

"Just you!?"

He shifted his step, and with a buzz, before anyone could react, only Prince Xue abruptly looked up:

"Be careful!!!"

The two words had barely been spoken.

When the Sword Light flashed horizontally across Luo Wushuang’s neck, a head was already severed from the body.

Chu Qing reached out and grabbed Luo Wushuang’s hair, kicking the body directly away.

"With your stolen limbs, you should have already lost the qualification to contend with me."

This was no lie... Prince Xue, using the Blood Demon Scripture, this exotic study, could utilize seized limbs at will.

However, even as a disciple of the Martial Emperor, Luo Wushuang did not know the Blood Demon Scripture. It looked as if these limbs were no different from his own.

But to think he could use this to rival Chu Qing was a fool’s dream.

Chu Qing held Luo Wushuang’s head, looked at Prince Xue:

"So, can you still find him a head?"

Prince Xue felt her blood run cold, unclear if it was from fear or anger.

But for now, the anger outweighed the fear.

"What a waste!!

"I went through the trouble of finding him limbs, and yet he was utterly useless!!"

With that, she helplessly looked up at Chu Qing:

"Dear brother, do you truly wish to contend with me to the bitter end?

"Can you bear it?"
