Chapter 641 - 352: Joint Assault
At the moment Ouyang Tianxu was searching for that mysterious person, six top experts joined forces to bombard Chu Qing fiercely, once again kicking up a storm of dust.
The swordsman narrowly escaped with his life, but he wasn’t completely unscathed.
His figure was swept into the vortex of Chu Qing’s swordplay, covered in wounds all over his body.
This sword strike did not truly land; otherwise, the result would have been total annihilation.
The hand holding the sword was dripping with blood.
His steps were no longer as steady as before, yet his gaze remained calm...
After years of battling on the field, in the face of such an injury now, he could still remain calm even in life and death situations.
But calm alone was not enough...
He stared into the swirling dust, trying to find Chu Qing’s trace.
But there was no echo within the dust.
No sound of breathing, heartbeat, or pulse.
Could it be... dead?
Impossible!
This thought was dismissed in an instant.
Others might die, but this man here could not possibly die!
His martial arts were too superior!
Exceeded expectations far too much.
In fact, when he was drawn into Chu Qing’s sword edge, his only thought was regret...
He shouldn’t have come!
Alas, now being caught in this situation, facing someone like Chu Qing, escape was impossible.
Only by seeking life in death could he find a glimmer of hope.
Not only him, but everyone was staring into the dust, trying to find Chu Qing’s trace.
But no one could find him.
It wasn’t until the dust settled, revealing the desolate land, that they still couldn’t find Chu Qing.
"Speaking of which..."
A voice suddenly echoed in everyone’s ears.
Everyone turned to the source of the voice, and in the next moment, whether it was the Twelve Saint Kings, the master of military tactics, or Ning Wufang, the disciple of the Ghost Emperor, their pupils contracted sharply.
They saw Chu Qing!
Yet... it seemed incredible.
Because at that moment, Chu Qing was standing in mid-air, as though stepping on the void.
He didn’t even bother to hide his figure, letting the breeze blow, causing his hair to flutter and his clothes to rustle.
In a trance, what was reflected in their eyes was no longer a human being, but an Immortal descending from the heavens.
The Injury Concealment in his hand was hidden behind his back, Chu Qing spoke softly, continuing the previous conversation:
"I have not yet had the pleasure of inquiring, how should I address the later four?"
Saying this, he gazed into the distance, then corrected himself:
"Three."
One was dead, leaving only three.
No response came to this question, because upon discovering Chu Qing’s location, three figures had already leaped into the air.
Sword shadows soared, the scarlet Sword Shadow covered the sky and earth, it was still "Sword Points to the World".
The spear was like a dragon, emitting a series of eagle cries.
It seemed like a mighty eagle leapt from behind that person, spreading its wings and flying, executing the "Blood Eagle Celestial Strike Thirteen Transformations", with this move called "Eagle Hunting Nine Heavens"!
Yet, the blade... remained unseen.
One could sense the killing intent of the blade, feel the imminent danger, but the blade was never seen, nor could the person be found.
Chu Qing sighed helplessly and muttered to himself in a voice only he could hear:
"Please enable microphone communication..."
But the opponent clearly didn’t want that; they didn’t know about microphones, nor how to enable one; they only knew to speak with martial arts.
Hence, Chu Qing could only turn his sword edge, even though the first to strike was the swordsman, the one who struck last but arrived first was the spear.
Chu Qing had seen the "Blood Eagle Celestial Strike Thirteen Transformations" many times, and those who wielded this spear technique were all subordinates of the General.
This even made Chu Qing feel that this might be the General’s exclusive martial arts.
Previously, he had some knowledge of this spear technique, but now the spear technique performed by this person, whether it was the variety of techniques or the adaptability on the spot, was far beyond what the previous group could compare to.
The subtlety of the spear technique was displayed to the fullest!
Chu Qing’s sword was ordinary, yet with a casual turn, it rested on the tip of the spear, and with a turn, the spear tip pointed towards the swordsman.
A flash of fierce Gang Wind burst from the spear tip.
Like an arrow breaking the wind, it rushed towards "Sword Points to the World".
The swordsman knew this was bad; he had personally witnessed Chu Qing’s sword technique before, though he hadn’t seen such a lever exerting force technique, he knew Chu Qing’s swordplay was nearly in harmony with the Dao, compliant with the principles of heaven and earth.
And it would never be a wasted effort.
Hence, at the instant the spear pointed at him, he used a Thousand-Pound Weight, his figure suddenly dropped a level just right, dodging the spear while his sword edge suddenly flicked up from below.
Buzz!
The edge sliced through the air, as if to shatter the sky.
The Sword Qi slashed diagonally, although not as grandiose as "Sword Points to the World", yet the killing intent and cunning within surpassed the former.
With a flick of Chu Qing’s sword edge, the swordsman’s figure followed the path of Chu Qing’s sword.
Dodging for a moment, Chu Qing’s figure suddenly dropped.
He used the Thousand-Pound Weight...
Even though Chu Qing’s Lightweight Technique was truly unrivaled in the world, it was difficult to maneuver back and forth in mid-air.
In reality, they were only intimidated by Chu Qing’s floating figure, causing them not to scrutinize carefully; otherwise, it wasn’t hard to notice that although Chu Qing was in mid-air seemingly unmoving, in truth, he was descending slowly.
This was a technique he comprehended by integrating the Lightning Divine Step, Wild Goose Skill, Chasing Star and Moon Step, and other Lightweight Techniques.
