Chapter 639: Chapter 351: The Mantis Blocks the Chariot—Overestimating Oneself

In front of Celestial Melody City, the ground had long been pockmarked.

Huge cracks crisscrossed in every direction, with traces of cracks visible everywhere, and the ground sunken, as if savagely attacked by a giant beast.

Several grandmasters exerted themselves fully, creating an unusual and extraordinary spectacle.

And at this moment, besides the original Han Qiujun, Prince Mei, and Prince Xiao, there were four more experts of unknown origin.

Adding Ning Wufang, there were a total of eight people surrounding Chu Qing.

Watching Chu Qing with a cold gleam in his eyes, the long sword floated beside him, with a faint sword intent and a pervasive killing aura.

A sneer suddenly sounded.

"Seeing him like this, could it be he still intends to take us on?"

The speaker was the man with empty arms among the later four experts.

His tone was mocking, with a hint of casualness in his voice.

His gaze inadvertently swept over the city wall, then he exhaled:

"Don’t waste time with him here, quickly finish him off..."

The swordsman looked at Ning Wufang:

"You say that thing is on him?"

"If my information is correct, it is indeed on him."

Ning Wufang smiled, cupping his fists towards Chu Qing:

"This is not our first meeting."

Chu Qing smiled:

"If the Ghost Emperor knew his eldest disciple was involved with the Celestial Evil Cult, I wonder what his expression would be?"

Ning Wufang’s smile deepened, but it didn’t reach his eyes, his voice turned cold:

"He’s unable to protect himself, what if he knows or not?

"I do hope he gets heartbroken... repents for his past sins."

Chu Qing sighed; the Ghost Emperor’s family matters were a murky affair.

His wife died, his eldest daughter believed it was the concubine’s doing, hence she harbors deep hatred, but couldn’t find any evidence, and yet acted recklessly.

The Ghost Emperor was enraged, imprisoned his eldest daughter, making her reflect on her wrongdoing.

Unexpectedly, she died in prison.

The senior disciple, whether he admired or loved the eldest daughter, evidently is now colluding with the Celestial Evil Cult to avenge her.

Gu Ling’Er is the youngest daughter, also born of the eldest daughter’s concubine, hence Ning Wufang impersonates Bai Yushu to kill this Gu Ling’Er.

He used this as an excuse to frame Bai Yushu.

This act was actually to preserve the last shred of dignity among the disciples.

A fair official finds it hard to settle domestic affairs, and regarding the Ghost Emperor’s family, no one can say for sure.

Whether the concubine killed the legal wife, there is no substantial evidence.

But that concubine was harmed by Ning Wufang, ultimately abducted, and thrown into the most terrifying Abandoned God Valley among the ten deadly fears.

The Ghost Emperor, in order to save this concubine, found himself in danger...

Chu Qing pondered for a long time, feeling these chaotic affairs were too convoluted. Besides lamenting that the Three Emperors and Five Sovereigns were also not immune to worldly affairs, he really didn’t know how to comment.

Yet Ning Wufang paused, softly saying:

"We have no longstanding grudge, no recent enmity.

"If you are willing to hand over that thing, I could plead with them on your behalf and let you go."

"Oh?"

Chu Qing surveyed the surroundings:

"Truly?"

"If you hand it over, why not reward you with an intact corpse?"

The man with a saber at his waist spoke coldly, his voice crisp and direct.

Chu Qing helplessly looked at Ning Wufang:

"You see, they don’t seem so easy to talk to."

"Do you think I’m easy to talk to?"

Ning Wufang’s expression grew cold:

"Stop stalling, hand over the item!"

"Wait."

Chu Qing raised a hand:

"In today’s predicament, I reckon I won’t survive, why not tell me, where exactly is the Ghost Emperor now?

"So I can die without regret?"

"When you die, you’ll naturally know!!"

As the words concluded, patience clearly exhausted, a sword edge flicked, stirring a sky full of blood light.

A blood-stained massive Sword Shadow appeared behind that person.

Speaking with brazen arrogance, acting with all might.

Chu Qing could even clearly see, on that massive Sword Shadow, the carved words, one by one, filled with fierce killing intent, the sword edge’s embellishment, further inducing innate terror!

This is the martial path secret technique [Hundred Battle Killing Sword]!

The sword intent was supposed to be righteous, but driven by the [Slaughter Scripture], the murderous aura prevailed more.

This move is named [Sword Points to the World], with the Sword Momentum charging forward, executed splendidly.

This sword extends utmost energy, spirit, and vitality into one, with the sword edge appearing, causing violent tremors on the ground, where the sword edge passes, the sharpness fully revealed, the momentum grand, faintly showing a sovereign demeanor.

Simultaneously, a saber also struck!

If the sword took the grand righteous path, the saber followed the soldier’s cunning way.

The swordsman paved the path with the sword.

The saberman moved with the saber.

In an instant, the saber edge along with the figure, vanished from Chu Qing’s sight.

Only the sharpness lingered on his mind, seemingly ready to fall at any moment.

Chu Qing’s gaze lifted, nowhere was safe, danger approached from all directions, instilling a sense of dread.

But the next moment, Chu Qing raised a hand, the Injury Concealment already in his palm.

The sword edge in midair turned, leisurely drawing a circle.

Ting ting ting, ting ting ting!!

Though the two swords never made contact, an endless clash sound resonated in the void.
