Chapter 186 - 126: Slaying the Celestial Secret Teller, Wen Tianheng!
The crowd was perplexed, and Chu Qing had already stepped forward.
He drew a circle with one palm, followed by a palm strike.
Suddenly, a dragon roar echoed in everyone’s ears.
A ghostly image of a pristine, cold Divine Dragon was unleashed by Chu Qing’s palm.
The dragon roar was mind-shaking; frost and snow spread where it passed, and in its howling wake, the immense force crashed directly into the stone forest of the Celestial Secret Net Array.
Only a loud bang was heard!
The leading boulder was shattered by Chu Qing’s palm.
Several people were dumbfounded.
Is this the Powerful Flying Brick?
The array couldn’t be broken, so he just smashed it?
Wen Pingce and Zhou Chen looked at Chu Qing, amazed by the remarkable difference between appearance and reality.
This young master clearly had a handsome appearance, fair skin, resembling a naive, aristocratic offspring.
How did he start demolishing things just like that without agreement?
Si Ye’s lips moved as he tried to advise Chu Qing not to waste effort.
This stone forest wasn’t small, and each stone was so big.
With each strike, no matter how immense your palm force, how long would it take to dismantle this stone forest?
Even if you really had such skill, is there enough inner strength to sustain it?
Yet having failed to break the array himself, with Chu Qing trying his method, Si Ye couldn’t muster the words to say this.
Seeing his first palm succeed, Chu Qing smiled instantly:
"Seems like this is the way to break the array."
With his martial arts prowess, if not for encountering arrays like Qingxi Village, shrouded in fog and covering vast areas, an array simply made of stones wouldn’t hold him back.
Unless the array was one he couldn’t engage, needed to sneak in covertly.
Otherwise, with the boundless inner strength from his Mingyu Scripture, a single palm here and there, he could even puncture a mountain.
At once invigorated, Chu Qing’s heart couldn’t help but delight.
Having recently acquired this palm technique, eager to showcase it, now given a proper reason, why hold back?
Immediately, he thrust out two more palms, each accompanied by a roaring dragon.
In an instant, the sound of shattering boulders rose sporadically from the underground fissures.
Fragments spun off, and rising dust gradually filled the air.
Gentle instinctively covered her nose, took out a face veil from her sleeve, wearing it for cover.
Within moments, moving forward along his path, over a dozen boulders had been pulverized.
"What’s that?"
Si Ye’s sharp eyes immediately spotted something hidden on the ground.
Chu Qing paused slightly, grasped with five fingers, but the object on the ground didn’t come off.
Apparently embedded with the ground, he decisively turned his palm and struck the ground into fragments.
The object sprang up, and finally, exerting power, Chu Qing captured it in his palm.
Glancing twice, he realized it seemed like a gun barrel.
Casually tossed it to Si Ye.
After Si Ye examined it, he handed it over to Wen Pingce and Zhou Chen.
The two old men studied it briefly and looked again at the ground, suddenly realizing:
"So that’s how the so-called web is formed."
Intending to call Chu Qing over for a discussion.
But as they lifted their heads, Chu Qing had already struck out another large piece...
Leaving everyone present speechless in astonishment.
Each of his palms carried boundless might, dragon-shaped phantoms swirling overhead, all stones struck into shattered remnants.
It was as if he was not striking stones, but tofu cubes.
Yet the truly terrifying thing was, the palm force capable of splitting mountains, after striking repeatedly for so long, showed no sign of exhaustion.
Watching this, Zhou Chen and Wen Pingce felt chills run down their spines.
Unable to resist, they said to Wen Pingce:
"This... this heroic man... no, this young master, what is his background?"
Wen Pingce scratched his head, patted his chest:
"My worthy brother!"
"Oh, come on!"
Zhou Chen and Wen Pingce were speechless, and turned to Si Ye.
Si Ye glanced at Gentle and gestured to Zhou Chen and Wen Pingce.
Zhou Chen and Wen Pingce then went to ask Gentle:
"Miss, who exactly is this hero young master?"
Gentle thought for a moment and replied seriously:
"My third brother."
"..."
This seemed like the old saying: not part of the family, don’t enter the family, right?
With the third master like this, the young lady is also like this?
Can anyone in the Wen Family talk honestly?
In response, Wen Pingce wasn’t satisfied with Gentle’s words:
"Rou’er, don’t speak presumptuously, I’m going to become sworn brothers with the third young master, by seniority, you must call him Uncle Four."
Gentle didn’t want to lose a generation unfounded, but didn’t bother arguing with Wen Pingce, she said expressionlessly:
"Each person counts their own."
Wen Pingce pondered for a moment, nodded:
"That works too."
Zhou Chen and Wen Pingce were wide-eyed in amazement, wondering what each person counts their own meant? What does ’that works too’ mean?
Can you be less reckless?
"Hey, something’s there!"
Chu Qing’s voice suddenly reached everyone’s ears.
Pulling these absent-minded fellows back to reality, they saw Chu Qing now standing in the middle of the Stone Forest Array, his figure obscured among stone dust, appearing hidden and visible.
There seemed to be something before him, but shrouded partly, unclear to see.
Exchanging glances, they promptly stepped forward.
Before him, there was a small stone platform, carved finely.
On the stone platform lay a brocade box.
The brocade box was pitch-black; its material was indiscernible.
However, these weren’t the most attractive to the crowd.
What attracted everyone most was the nearby skeleton.
Calling it a skeleton was an exaggeration.
This skeleton had been here for who knows how many years, even the bones had faded into oblivion with time, yet vaguely it could be gleaned, someone had died here.
