System: I Can Open Martial Arts Chests

The sword intent concentrated at a single point, capable of breaking a million troops, suddenly scattered like falling celestial flowers, soaring in all directions.

Everyone present was stunned, including the person practicing the [Hundred Battle Killing Sword] facing Chu Qing.

They only felt that Chu Qing’s sword technique was unusually unconventional, appearing simple and unadorned, with only a single circle.

Its path was clear to see, yet the sword intent contained countless profound truths.

Clearly the movement was not fast, yet it seemed to align with celestial intent.

Man’s power has its limits, divine power cannot match the decree of heaven.

Even with the Hundred Battle Killing Sword, how could it withstand this path to simplicity?

"Kill!!!"

The [Hundred Battle Killing Sword] was a blood-soaked sword, with boiling killing intent pervading the heavens.

Even if the celestial intent disallowed it, one should still have the courage to cut down the sky with a sword.

At this shout, the inner power from the [Slaughter Scripture] was pushed to the extreme, vowing to utterly destroy Chu Qing’s slow yet round sword edge like the heavens.

Chu Qing merely smiled:

"To stop a chariot with a mantis arm, how foolish."

With no mercy beneath the sword edge, it gently twisted, the opponent’s form was lifted into the air.

Only in a daze did he realize that the more he sought quick success and immediate gain, the more he fell into Chu Qing’s sword intent; now, in retrospection, he realized he was in too deep...

Now, not only his sword but even he himself had fallen into Chu Qing’s ’circle.’

With his sword edge rising, along with himself and the [Hundred Battle Killing Sword], all were trapped where escape was impossible!

How could there be such a sword technique under the heavens?

And how could there be such a person?

In just one move, it made his defeat utterly clear and decisive.

Now, with just a twist of Chu Qing’s sword edge, he would be shattered to pieces... offering not the slightest resistance.

Just as he was about to close his eyes and accept death, a bloody fist swept in like a storm.

Coming from behind him, overwhelming all!

[Soldier Path Killing Fist]!

This fist technique’s force was extremely vicious; a light touch spelled certain death.

What kind of master was Chu Qing?

During the engagement, he naturally noticed all around him, sensed through all; before the Soldier Path Killing Fist even reached him, Chu Qing was already aware.

As he was about to kill this swordmaster with one hand wielding his sword, his other hand drew a semicircle in midair.

The sound of a dragon’s roar instantaneously echoed through heaven and earth!

Having recognized his identity, Prince Laugh had already realized that Han San, this alias, could seamlessly merge with the alias of the Third Young Master.

Therefore, this time, he did not use the Cloud Dispelling Palm, but instead, directly executed the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms!

With the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms containing the Thirteenth Layer [Nine Chapters of Divine Jade] inner power from Chu Qing, even a peak Blood Prince would be killed by this strike.

After all, last time at the Taiheng Sect, he hadn’t exerted full force when he nearly killed the Blood Prince.

Therefore, with the issuance of this powerful dragon-shaped true qi, the expert using the Soldier Path Killing Fist suddenly felt an impending catastrophe was upon him.

Before he thoroughly understood it, the dragon-shaped true qi already collided with his fist wind.

In just a moment, his body trembled violently, blood spurted from his seven orifices, his entire person was swept by the dragon-shaped true qi, flying out with teeth and claws, crashing heavily into the Star Split Mansion disciples.

The Twenty-one Constellations didn’t think twice, leaping up to evade in all directions.

Others also dodged.

Those who ran a bit slower, feeling the dragon-shaped true qi brush past their backs, suddenly understood why Han Qiujun could comprehend the Nine Stars Linked Pearls between life and death.

Between life and death, there truly was great terror!

They dodged quickly, but others were not so lucky.

Touched by the dragon-shaped true qi, they spat blood and were sent flying, as it thunderously exploded wherever it passed, the sound of eruptions ceaseless.

Leaving behind crater after crater in its wake.

Following the direction of the dragon-shaped true qi, it was apparent that there was no sign of its depletion.

It charged headlong, breaking through the Star Split Mansion disciples’ ranks, penetrating into the Celestial Evil Cult camp, before gradually dissipating.

And the master of the Soldier Path, sent flying hundreds of meters by this strike, was smashed to the ground, his bones and veins all shattered, his form beaten into almost an entire pancake by the palm strike.

Dead beyond any realm of death.

This marked the first time Chu Qing struck with such full force, achieving a result even he hadn’t expected.

Instantly, he smiled wryly:

"A bit heavy-handed... my apologies."

As he spoke, he was about to press down with his sword edge, ready to shatter the swordmaster to pieces.

But just then, images of spears, blades, lightning, starlight, ghost qi, and true qi blooming like plum blossoms all simultaneously attacked Chu Qing.

This palm strike from Chu Qing would make anyone shiver in fear.

It was initially thought that eight acted as the cage, to slaughter the bird within.

Even with high expectations of Chu Qing, he was merely transformed from a caged bird to a caged eagle.

Regardless, he could not escape this cage, and a certain death awaited him.

Yet it was unexpected that what they trapped in the cage was not a bird, but a dragon!

How could a mere cage contain it?

Reflecting on the disappointment seen on Chu Qing’s face when they appeared...

Was it not that they had trapped Chu Qing?

But rather, that Chu Qing... had trapped them!?

The fear in their hearts left them unwilling to take any chances.

Moreover, they could not afford to let Chu Qing execute another effortless kill... Each displayed their skills, aiming to prevent Chu Qing from killing.

Facing attacks from all directions, even Chu Qing could not confront head-on.

Although the [Sorrowful Clouds Song] by Prince Laugh was broken, and the lightning mingling in his inner power, presumably the [Myriad Destruction Yin Thunder Technique], was of no significance to Chu Qing.

Yet Prince Mei still remained!

This woman, using the dual cultivation method of the [Cloud Rain Order], had accumulated inner strength for hundreds of years.

Her attack seemed gentle like the wind and rain, but in truth, was the most challenging to handle.

Besides, there was Han Qiujun’s Nine Stars Linked Pearls... even those wielding the blade and spear were not to be trifled with.

In terms of inner power, they might be inferior to Prince Mei.

But in the frenzy of battle, their methods were extremely ruthless, strategically surpassing both Prince Mei and Prince Laugh.

If one had to say so, the least significant presence was the Ghost Emperor’s disciple... Ning Wufang.

Therefore, Chu Qing did not have the luxury to kill his foe first, his form flickered like a flash of lightning, instantly escaping from the core of the attack.

Then, continuous blasts erupted incessantly.

The citizens inside Celestial Melody City could feel as if this enormous city, perched on the land for hundreds of years, was shaking and trembling with those colossal explosions.

They didn’t know what was happening outside, but they were certain it was a monumental event.

On the city walls, Liu Zhaonian, Liu Zhaohua, Liu Jinghan, Liu Qingyan... as well as Wu Qianhuan, Gentle, and others, were silently watching the skirmish in front of Celestial Melody City.

Each of their martial arts skills was astoundingly high, each move enough to split mountains and crack stones.

Now, whether heavily injured or slightly outmatched in martial arts skills, they could not intervene... they could only watch helplessly.

Fortunately, Chu Qing’s martial prowess was enough to fill hearts with courage.

Had he not come, Celestial Melody City would undoubtedly fall today, and Celestial Sound Mansion’s centuries-old foundation would be reduced to nothing.

Liu Zhaonian sighed gently, suddenly realizing that when his sister had gone mad wanting to marry Chu Yunfei, perhaps it was heaven’s pity bestowing upon the Liu family a great fortune, otherwise how could there be the current Chu Qing, relying on his own strength to valiantly face off against eight top masters?

At this point, Ouyang Tianxu suddenly noticed something.

Earlier, he had spotted someone on the city wall.

He initially thought the person bore ill intentions... but that person merely stood silently, showing no sign of movement.

Not appearing to be aligned with those attacking Chu Qing.

Now, witnessing the unfolding events, when Ouyang Tianxu looked back to find that person, the spot was entirely empty.

That person... was gone!?

Where did they go?

This person’s ghostly arrival and vanishing without a trace indeed instilled fear.

Yet at this moment, everyone’s eyes were drawn to Chu Qing battling the eight great masters.

Except for himself, perhaps no one even realized the presence of that person.
