Chapter 670 - 670: Hidden Qi Technique: Martial King Chapter

Watching the man laugh maniacally, a cold, disdainful glint flashed in Chu Qingyun's eyes.

Even Chen Qingyao, a Core Disciple and a Level Three Martial King, was no match for him at all.

'For an Ordinary Disciple like this to dare act so arrogantly before me… it's simply laughable!'

"Shadow Splitting Clone Skill!"

Chu Qingyun barked the command in his mind, unleashing one of his Shadow Martial Soul's Soul Techniques.

The shadow at his feet shot out in an instant, silent and unseen. Under the cover of night, it rushed straight for the Level Three Martial King.

As an Inner Sect Disciple of the Saint Extreme Sect, the Level Three Martial King did possess some skill.

He immediately sensed the abnormal fluctuations of Martial Soul Power and Primordial Power from Chu Qingyun and knew that he had made the first move.

"Trying to ambush me? Not a chance!"

"Watch as I crush you with a single palm strike!"

The Level Three Martial King shouted coldly. With a thought, the surrounding Heaven and Earth Primordial Power rapidly gathered, forming a three-hundred-meter-wide giant palm of Primordial Power above him.

Using Heaven and Earth Primordial Power to crush an opponent was the most direct and simple method for a high-level Martial King to deal with a low-level one.

However, the moment the giant Primordial Power palm took shape, the Level Three Martial King's expression changed drastically.

Under the glow of the Primordial Power, there were basically no shadows left within a nearly thousand-meter radius.

But he discovered that a shadow with a diameter of over two hundred meters was centered right at his feet, and it remained even directly beneath the giant Primordial Power palm!

"Hmph. Idiot!"

Chu Qingyun snorted, suddenly extending his arm and clenching his fist.

Just as Chu Qingyun extended his arm, four flat, black, paper-like hands emerged from the shadows around the Level Three Martial King. Each hand was larger than the Martial King himself.

After Chu Qingyun clenched his fist, the four shadow hands lunged for the man, grabbing him layer by layer and completely enveloping him in shadow.

The Level Three Martial King struggled violently, constantly erupting with Primordial Power as he tried to break free from the shadow's embrace.

However, the layer of shadow was like a material with infinite elasticity. No matter how he struggled or how his Primordial Power erupted, it merely deformed, keeping him tightly bound within.

The Heaven and Earth Primordial Power lost its focus and began to dissipate. Chu Qingyun, however, wasted no time; his figure flashed as he charged forward.

"Blood Flame!"

Chu Qingyun let out a soft cry and activated the Ten Thousand Spirits Saint Body Secret Technique. A searing heat filled his entire body, followed by an instantaneous surge in power.

BANG!

Chu Qingyun threw a full-power punch, slamming it viciously into the Level Three Martial King.

Even Chen Qingyao, while using his Golden Armor Body Secret Technique, couldn't withstand a punch like this, let alone this ordinary Level Three Martial King.

Terrifying power exploded from the point of impact.

Under the force of the punch, the man's body went rigid before crashing heavily to the ground.

The aftershock of the blow blasted a hundred-meter-deep crater in the ground. The Level Three Martial King himself was driven so deep into the earth that only his two feet were left sticking out.

But even so, after a series of violent tremors, the shadow enveloping him still clung to his body relentlessly.

Chu Qingyun dismissed the Soul Technique and his Shadow Martial Soul, then reached down and pulled the man out of the ground.

At this moment, the Level Three Martial King was covered in dirt, more than half of his sternum was shattered, and blood was constantly pouring from his mouth. He was no longer laughing.

His eyes, as he looked at Chu Qingyun, were filled with absolute terror.

'Is this kind of terrifying power something a Level One Martial King should possess!?'

"Chu Qingyun, you… what do you want? You can't kill me! We're both Inner Sect Disciples of the Saint Extreme Sect! If you dare to kill me, it's considered harming a fellow disciple. The sect won't let you off…"

The Level Three Martial King said, spitting out blood as he spoke.

That terrifying punch from before had severely damaged most of his internal organs and meridians. He had no strength left to resist!

"Have you forgotten your own words?"

"We're not in the sect. Even if I kill you here, I can do so with impunity!"

Chu Qingyun ignited a ball of Primordial Power in his hand, crouched down, and said to him with a cold smile.

"You… Junior Brother Chu… no, Chu, please let me go! I was blind and failed to recognize your greatness! You are a magnanimous person, please spare me this one time! I know I was wrong…"

When threatening him with the sect's rules failed, the Level Three Martial King began to beg for mercy.

"Cut the crap. I'll ask you one thing: do you want to live or die?" Chu Qingyun said coldly.

The Level Three Martial King endured the pain and nodded frantically. "Live! I want to live!"

"If you want to live, then hand over the Martial King Chapter of the Hidden Qi Technique," Chu Qingyun said.

Hearing this, the Level Three Martial King's face changed dramatically.

'Chu Qingyun actually knows about the Hidden Qi Technique!'

"The… the Martial King Chapter of the Hidden Qi Technique… After I mastered it, I destroyed it. You know how it is with Secret Techniques, people are afraid of them getting out…"

The man stammered.

But as he spoke, his eyes darted about. It was obvious he was lying.

The Hidden Qi Technique was provided by the Assassin Alliance to its Assassins for a price, but their control over the Secret Technique was extremely strict.

Anyone who leaked the Hidden Qi Technique would be hunted down by the Alliance.

As a Martial King Level assassin for the Assassin Alliance, the man had an even deeper understanding than Chu Qingyun of the Alliance's power and omnipresence.

Therefore, he didn't dare take the risk and hand over the Martial King Chapter of the Hidden Qi Technique to Chu Qingyun.

"Destroyed? Hmph. It seems you won't give up until you're at death's door."

"You haven't even fully mastered the Hidden Qi Technique. You'd destroy the Secret Technique?"

Chu Qingyun sneered. Suddenly, a flicker of Martial Soul Power from his Flame Martial Soul appeared at his fingertip, flashed, and drilled into the Level Three Martial King's body.

Instantly, the Level Three Martial King began to scream his lungs out in agony.

The Martial Soul Power of a Flame Martial Soul could transform into Martial Soul Fire, which was used to temper Spiritual Medicine and for Refining Elixirs. For that kind of scorching power to erupt inside one's body was a fate worse than death.

Moreover, the Level Three Martial King was so injured he couldn't even summon his Primordial Power. He could only endure it with his physical body!

"Hand over the Martial King Chapter of the Hidden Qi Technique, and you might get hunted by the Assassin Alliance. But if you hide in the Saint Extreme Sect, you at least have a hope of survival."

"Refuse, and in a few moments, you'll be nothing but ash."

"The choice is yours."

Chu Qingyun said, all while carefully controlling the Martial Soul Power.

Ten seconds later, the man finally broke. "Stop! Stop! The Hidden Qi Technique! I'll give it to you!"

Chu Qingyun unhurriedly withdrew his Martial Soul Power.

Shaking all over, the Level Three Martial King took out a scroll made of strung-together Black Jade Slabs from his Storage Ring. "Here is the Martial King Chapter of the Hidden Qi Technique. Let me go…"
