System: I Can Open Martial Arts Chests

Chapter 175 - 120: Commission Complete (Part 2)

The intention was nothing more than twofold.

One was to once again test the depth of his own Martial Arts.

Yulong Laoxian, this bone that is neither too hard nor too soft, is just perfect for probing.

The other was to let Chu Qing perform in front of everyone.

Tonight, in front of all the Star Guards and disciples of Luochun Manor, to slay this Yulong Laoxian would make it much easier for Chu Qing to command them henceforth.

Those unconvinced would be thoroughly convinced.

Since the situation was already as good as settled, Chu Qing was in no rush to slay Yulong Laoxian.

This person’s Martial Arts were not weak, making it perfect to hone his saber techniques.

After the duel with the swordsman in the small town, he combined the finesse of the Golden Crow Saber Technique with the peculiarity of the Blood Saber Technique, resulting in a saber technique that combines both orthodoxy and peculiarity.

Now, he was using the ’orthodox’ path among them, leveraging exquisite saber techniques to find the opponent’s flaws, breaking the enemy with sharpness, and attacking while at ease.

However, this relied only on the changes within the Golden Crow Saber Technique, seizing the opportunity and attacking first.

It lacked the Confucian calculations that could fully grasp the opponent’s techniques, thus anticipating the enemy’s moves.

Its mysteries still needed further exploration, and Yulong Laoxian’s high Martial Arts skills could help accelerate this process.

However, the opponent’s current claw technique was extremely bizarre.

The claw extended like a dragon probing its head, with the entire arm seeming to transform into a ferocious and sinister dragon.

On this vicious dragon was wrapped an unusual gang wind, like numerous invisible hands.

Pushing Chu Qing’s blade, making the saber momentum difficult to follow its original course, instead being pushed, unable to perform the original trajectory.

If things continued like this, not only would the techniques become useless, but even he himself would be led by this force and collapse without a fight!

What kind of Martial Arts is this?

In a split second, this claw momentum had already broken through the blade and reached before him.

As five fingers probed, Chu Qing felt his entire upper body, with acupoints everywhere, enveloped under the other’s fingertips...

This feeling was even more bizarre.

The five fingers grabbed within an inch, even if the technique changed, it couldn’t differ greatly.

However, it was still this opponent’s set of Martial Arts at play!

Thinking of this, he no longer clung to the saber, but couldn’t help but lament:

"After all, I still underestimated this old lecher who has roamed the Martial World for many years..."

With this thought, his fist momentum rose.

A layer of frost covered his fist, and intense coldness instantly permeated in all directions.

In an instant, deep autumn turned into severe winter, extreme cold emerged in all directions.

The fist was like breaking bamboo, no matter how much force came from all directions, it could not shake him in the slightest.

Yulong Laoxian’s expression changed dramatically, finally realizing that this kid had been hiding his strength all along.

Seeing that this exchange was inevitable, he decisively exerted his full inner strength, the sound of a hiss in the air, as if a dragon was forming, raising his momentum instantly, desiring to settle the score with Chu Qing once and for all!!

Boom!!!!

With a muffled sound, a fist and a claw collided.

It was not only a collision of fist and claw, but also of extreme heat and extreme cold.

Both sides’ gang winds burst from their fist and claw, one was blazing like fire, the other’s fist was colder than snow.

Two arcs of gang winds formed between them, each creating a wavy arc.

This arc flashed and vanished, the force rushing in all directions, accompanied by Yulong Laoxian’s body, flew backwards.

Thump thump thump, thump thump thump!!!

Yulong Laoxian was struck by the punch, flying away, the scattered inner strength causing explosions all around.

Retreating seven or eight zhang, only then did both feet touch the ground.

He looked up at Chu Qing, gritting his teeth, and said:

"Good!!"

Finishing this single word ’good’, he spun and attempted to leave.

"Come back!"

How could Chu Qing let him leave?

Using this old man to hone his skills would be making full use of him; truly letting him go would be another story entirely.

He immediately reached out with one hand, a strong suction encircled Yulong Laoxian.

Yulong Laoxian’s face changed:

"Outrageous!!"

After all, he was an old demon of the Martial World; this young man, not knowing the limits of the heavens and earth, actually intended to capture him with inner strength.

Did this mean he considered himself some mere object?

If he really was captured by this young man in such a manner... what future would there be in the Martial World?

Just find a piece of tofu and bash your head against it.

In the moment, his foot stomped, both palms flipped, and the strange force dispersed, the grasping power of Chu Qing was immediately torn apart.

However, this delay allowed Chu Qing to get in front of him:

"What’s so good about it?"

These four words entered Yulong Laoxian’s ears, and before he could respond, he saw the blade already sliding through the void.

How could Yulong Laoxian dare to neglect?

He shook his body, attacking to defend, but suddenly heard a tearing sound. Without needing to look down, the icy chill on his arm already let him know... he had been hit by the saber!

But this is not right!

Although Chu Qing’s saber speed was very fast earlier, Yulong Laoxian still saw it clearly.

Earlier, this Saber Technique had been used by Chu Qing several times. It was indeed exquisite, but the subsequent changes were by no means like this.

If one must say, now his Saber Technique is ’starting with the righteous’, ’ending with the evil’.

When the move was made, it was upright and extremely exquisite.

Although it was difficult to predict how this Saber Technique would change, one could vaguely see some clues.

But when defending according to these clues, the originally direct Saber Technique suddenly became extremely sinister.

The change in saber momentum was unexpected, and the attack from an inconceivable position was unavoidable.

"What is happening?"

After one strike, Yulong Laoxian was already sweating from his forehead.

But before he could figure out the mysteries within this Saber Technique, the second slash fell once more.

"The saber moves diagonally, one move has at least three changes... there’s a flaw!!"

Yulong Laoxian’s eyes turned. Seeing the flaw, he immediately struck with a claw attack.

To use fist techniques against blades in direct confrontation is to seek your own death. How could defense with mere flesh and palms block the blade?

The way to respond is naturally to attack instead of defend, and seeing a flaw means you must strike first.

But just as this claw was halfway, Yulong Laoxian was already terrified.

Chu Qing’s knife-edge suddenly changed, appearing from an impossible location.

He hurriedly operated the Mysterious Skill, hoping to disrupt Chu Qing’s blade.

But this time, it was different... Chu Qing operated the Mingyu Scripture, and the blade was coated with a layer of faint frost.

Although Yulong Laoxian’s Mysterious Skill was formidable, it had no effect under Chu Qing’s Inner Strength from the Ninefold Mingyu Scripture.

With a sizzling sound!

Half of Yulong Laoxian’s hand had disappeared.

This time, the old man was truly scared. Ignoring the blood gushing from his hand, he spread his palms and mindlessly launched over ten moves.

The surroundings felt like they were on fire. The scorching Pure Yang Inner Breath made it difficult for anyone to breathe.

Immediately following, Yulong Laoxian pivoted his foot, wielded his arms, dividing palms inside and out, blending Mysterious Skill and Inner Breath together.

He drew a fiery color around him.

It was as if firelight swirled around him, appearing strikingly beautiful amidst the dazzling colors.

"Not good!!"

Wen Pingce’s expression changed:

"This old thing is fighting to the death!!"

The exchanges between Chu Qing and Yulong Laoxian, seemingly complex, actually consisted of only a few moves in total.

Initially, Yulong Laoxian used a claw attack, met by Chu Qing’s defensive stance, exchanging over ten moves.

Afterward, Yulong Laoxian’s Mysterious Skill broke the saber momentum, forcing Chu Qing to trade punches with him, resulting in Yulong Laoxian being punched flying... upon regaining composure, this was only the second move, after which Yulong Laoxian realized the crisis, decisively choosing to bet his life.

Wen Kaiyuan hadn’t reacted to what was happening when Wen Pingce had already pulled him onto the wall, protecting him behind.

At the same time, Yulong Laoxian turned both hands. All around him, Gang Qi gathered.

A thousand blossoms condensed to a point, the ground underfoot exploded, and his figure shot out like a meteor of fire.

He punched, stars scattered, in an instant performing a magnificent spectacle!

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

Countless claw shadows filled the sky, like ferocious evil dragons, engulfed in flames, roaring with a force to set the prairie ablaze.

Every claw was covered with chaotic Gang Qi, tearing through the air with sharp whistles!

Intent on tearing this young saber master in front of him into pieces!

Chu Qing’s gaze rose, gripping the saber. His figure plunged into the midst of countless dragon shadows, passing through the thinnest of gaps.

Everyone felt a dazzling sight, yet immediately met with extinction!

A human head soared into the sky, blood erupting from the torso, spilling on the ground, scattering in spots.

[Mission Complete!]
