I was chased at the beginning, and I got the first quick sword

Chapter 509 Reincarnation Never Ends, Ghosts and Gods Never Die!
"You want to leave?! Did you even ask me first?!"

The Ghost Emperor's face was contorted with rage, and purple flames surged all over his body.

A long howl echoed, shaking the land for miles around!
[Died at midnight!]
Chu Qing fought with the Ghost Emperor all the way. Although they couldn't say they used all their ultimate moves, they gained a fairly good understanding of each other's martial arts.

Based on his words, the Ghost Emperor's knowledge can be broadly divided into four categories: the Six Paths, Reincarnation, Life and Death, and Ghosts and Gods.

However, the ultimate skill of 'ghosts and gods' is the [Path of Ghosts and Gods].

This method is derived from the culmination of the six realms, reincarnation, and the three paths of life and death, and can indeed be called the supreme art of the Ghost Emperor Palace lineage.

The "Midnight Death" technique he is currently using is a unique skill of the Life and Death Sect.

It is a unique sound technique that combines spiritual arts to transmit magic through sound, which can cause people to die of fear.

Previously, the Ghost Emperor had tried to pretend that he was controlled by the [Heavenly Demon Mind Control Technique] and immediately used the [Midnight Death] technique. At that time, Chu Qing was able to break the situation with the Heavenly Dragon Eight Sounds.

But after fighting each other for so long, Chu Qing's understanding of him has become increasingly profound.

Now that the phrase "Death at Midnight" had been uttered, and its sound had barely spread a hundred miles, Chu Qing coldly snorted:
"Shut up!"

As he spoke, two sword energies shot out from Chu Qing's mouth in succession, their sword cries trembling and echoing.

It incorporates the Vajra Zen Lion's Roar into the Heaven-Shattering Earth-Striking Great Technique, and also merges with the innate body-breaking formless sword energy. Every time he raises an eyebrow, glares, or exhales, sword energy accompanies him.

Chu Qing used the sound of the sword to amplify the power of the lion's roar.

The sword's cry seemed to slice open a curtain between heaven and earth.

The [Midnight Death] was cut in two, and all its power that could have been effectively dissipated.

"you wanna die!!!"

The breaking of the "Death at Midnight" spell instantly ignited the Ghost Emperor's already uncontrollable rage.

He clasped his hands together, and the purple flames around his body gathered between his palms. His hand seals changed a thousand times in an instant before he suddenly released them.

A massive, sky-covering palm print appeared, which was none other than the [Great Handprint of Reincarnation] from the cycle of reincarnation!
Chu Qing laughed heartily:
"I'm tired of seeing the same old tricks over and over again... Bring on the blade!!"

hum!
Wan Chunhua, standing in the crowd, knew as soon as he heard the words "the knife is coming" that his shark-slaying knife was doomed again.

As expected, the blade naturally came out of its sheath, turning into a stream of light and directly into Chu Qing's hand.

Immediately following, with a whoosh, flames soared into the sky, and blades flashed in all directions.

Each wisp of sword energy traversed more than ten feet across the void, and the sword techniques were either upright and righteous, or unorthodox and devious, or unpredictable and treacherous.

It was an endless series of overlapping attacks; no matter how many skills or methods you possessed, it would be difficult to escape Chu Qing's swordsmanship.

It was his move, "Heaven, Earth, Ghosts, and Gods are all bound by it!"
With a sweep of the sharp blade, the [Reincarnation Great Handprint] crumbled and disintegrated in an instant.

Before the Ghost Emperor could react, he was swept up in the layers of sword energy.

His body was propelled by the blade, repeatedly slashing and cutting, pushing forward for over a hundred feet, with streaks of blade light ploughing up the ground and cutting countless cracks.

Finally, with a swirling purple flame, all the sword light scattered across the sky.

The Ghost Emperor was in mid-air, unable to see Chu Qing, but suddenly saw the moon.

He only came to his senses in a daze when he realized that what he saw was not the moon... but a knife!

The full moon sets, the glint of swords flashes, traversing ten thousand miles of land!

The glint of the sword is as cold as snow; where can one hear the spring rain?
"What kind of swordsmanship is this?"

The Ghost Emperor stood in mid-air and slowly asked a question.

Chu Qing flicked his blade, and a drop of blood fell from the tip of the blade onto the ground of the Ten Deadly Caves.

"Divine Blade Slash".

Chu Qing's voice was clear and crisp:
"Send the Ghost Emperor to his next life."

"What superb swordsmanship!"

The Ghost Emperor silently lowered his head. He stretched out his two palms, about to examine them, when suddenly his hands fell to the ground.

Chu Qing's slash, starting from the upper arm, cleaved the Ghost Emperor in two.

His knife was too fast; it took so long to cut before his hands finally came down, and then the Ghost Emperor's half-body slowly slid off.

Blood burst forth, staining the sky crimson.

The Ghost Emperor's mangled corpse fell with a soft thud.

Chu Qing's blade pointed diagonally at the ground. Looking down from mid-air, he couldn't help but mutter to himself:

"He was powerful and influential in life, but his voice faded after death."

He slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, somewhat dazed... Was that it?
The Ghost Emperor... is dead?
Something feels off...

"The Ghost Emperor has been beheaded! The Alliance Leader's divine might is unparalleled!!!"

"The Alliance Leader is incredibly powerful!!!"

"The Alliance Leader is incredibly powerful!!!"

Shouts came from afar. Chu Qing looked up and saw Liu Zhaonian and the others...

Just now, with his move "Heaven, Earth, Ghosts and Gods All Betrayed", he shifted the battlefield by more than a hundred feet, so the sound naturally seemed distant.

Chu Qing smiled, turned around, and fell from mid-air.

Liu Zhaonian and others also rushed over to join them.

Once everyone had gathered together, Wu Qianhuan and Wenrou were the first to come forward, one on each side, to check on Chu Qing's condition.

This battle was the most difficult one Chu Qing had ever experienced since his debut.

The two fought across the Ten Deadly Caves, causing immense destruction and leaving countless deep pits and canyons throughout the caves...

Chu Qing also fell into a disadvantageous position several times, but then regained the upper hand.

His clothes also looked somewhat disheveled.

Wu Qianhuan's face was full of worry:
"Are you injured?"

"It's nothing, I just look a little disheveled... I have the Indestructible Golden Body protecting me, he can't hurt me."

With Chu Qing's current martial arts skills, if he uses the Indestructible Golden Body, he can be virtually invincible.

Wenrou breathed a sigh of relief:

"It's good that you're alright... It was too dangerous. Who would have thought that the Ghost Emperor harbored such malicious intentions?"

"The Ghost Emperor first disregarded the safety of the martial world, and then even tried to kill all of us... This is simply perverse and he deserves to die!"

"That's right, all those so-called Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors are no match for the Alliance Leader!"

"Now that the Ghost Emperor is dead, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors are truly one. I'm afraid the others won't let this go easily... What should we do?"

"In my opinion, just as Daoist Yige said, chaos has already broken out in the world, and we should naturally fight for the lives of the people!"
"I propose that our leader lead us, the martial arts practitioners of the Southern Region, to join this era of great strife, expel the Heavenly Evil Cult, overthrow the three-hundred-year-old order established by the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, unify the world, and win the hearts of all people!"

"The Alliance Leader's martial arts are unparalleled; he will surely be able to quell this chaos in the martial world!"

"exactly!"

At first, Chu Qing nodded slightly as she listened, but as she continued, she became a little confused.

Why would they inexplicably want to overthrow the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors under their leadership?

When did I agree to this?

The Ghost Emperor had his reasons... Among the other Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, apart from the Martial Emperor Li Juechen, the others were not provoked. Why would I provoke them for no reason?

And 'just as the Taoist said', what did the Taoist say to them?
Chu Qing immediately used the Heavenly Sound Transmission technique to involve Wu Qianhuan and Wenrou in the conversation and inquire about the details.

Just as Wu Qianhuan was about to speak, she heard the sound of wind breaking.

Looking up, I saw Hua Jinnian and the shepherd boy coming together.

As soon as Hua Jinnian landed, his gaze fell on Chu Qing, his eyes full of inquiry.

Chu Qing pointed:
"Over there." Without saying a word, Hua Jinnian headed in the direction Chu Qing pointed.

The shepherd boy excitedly said:

“You probably have no idea what we’ve been through… What a huge bronze door! It’s actually built by taking advantage of the terrain to keep out the wind, so if you try to open it from the outside, the wind will block it, and it will be impossible to open it no matter what.”

"But it's much easier to open it from the inside."

"Oh, right, here's the guy back with you..."

As she spoke, she pulled out some rice cereal from her bosom and tossed it to Wenrou.

Wenrou was somewhat surprised after receiving it:

"Rice paste? How did it end up with you?"

"This thing was found near the bronze door... Seeing it reminded me of what the leader said, that you found a bronze door underground."

"I reckon this little guy sneaked away back then, and after you left, it slipped into the First Martial Emperor's tomb through some cracks and crevices..."

"So I guessed that the bronze door should be nearby, and sure enough, we found it, which gave us the chance to escape."

"You guys have no idea, after we got out, we finally found a place to go up, but it was so high up..."

The shepherd boy recounted his adventures with great enthusiasm.

From her casual remarks, Chu Qing pieced together the whole process and was also somewhat surprised.

At that time, the Ghost Emperor had just comprehended the "Ghosts and Gods have no way, the law is naturally formed", and his martial arts and internal strength had been pushed to the peak, so Chu Qing couldn't care less about these two people... He could only discover the bronze door based on the terrain he had observed through the sound transmission bell.

Only then were the two of them sent over.

Unexpectedly, they happened to encounter rice cereal, which gave them a chance to escape.

Chu Qing slowly exhaled, feeling her mind a bit confused by the shepherd boy's incessant chatter.

He didn't want to concern himself with what Daoist Yige had said, or what decisions the experts of the Southern Jianghu had made.

He gently patted Wu Qianhuan and Wenrou on the shoulder, then turned and walked towards Hua Jinnian.

The Ghost Emperor's mangled corpse lay on the ground, and Hua Jinnian knelt before it.

She didn't shed a tear, but her eyes were unfocused.

Chu Qing came to her side and gently patted her shoulder.

Hua Jinnian let out a soft breath:

"It's all over... I'm sorry to have made you laugh at my family's mess."

Chu Qing shook her head. She remembered that when she first met Hua Jinnian, she had made an assassination request, but... at the time, she said that the person she wanted to kill was the wife of the Ghost Emperor.

Looking back now, it seems that Hua Jinnian actually wanted to kill her aunt.

Because she believed that her mother's death was caused by her aunt.

However, it seems that's not the case now... It was the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Evil Cult who killed her mother.

Hua Jinnian's real aunt was killed by that saintess a long time ago...

The Ghost Emperor knew that something had happened to the woman beside him, but he turned a blind eye and ignored it, which led to the tragic death of Hua Jinnian's mother.

In fact, to some extent, all the tragedies of Hua Jinnian's family were caused by the Ghost Emperor.

What are your plans for the future?

Chu Qing didn't want Hua Jinnian to dwell on this issue, so she changed the subject.

"I'll go with you for now."

Hua Jinnian glanced at Chu Qing:
“You probably need a lot of manpower around you right now... The overwhelming trend is sweeping in, you can't avoid it or shake it off. If you want to face the challenge head-on, I can lend you a hand.”

"After everything is over, I want to find Gu Ling'er and the others, and take them back to Tongtian Ridge to live in seclusion."

"...Haven't you even considered finding a good person to marry?"

Chu Qing smiled and spoke, wanting to ease Hua Jinnian's mind a little.

Hua Jinnian shook his head:

"No, the root of my mother's lifelong suffering was marriage."

"Love is like a deadly poison; it is something the wise do not pursue..."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and glanced at Wu Qianhuan and Wenrou:
"You have enjoyed the blessing of having two wives, but you must remember to treat them all equally in the future... Otherwise, resentment will grow in your heart, and the good relationship will eventually turn into bitter fruit, which you will have to swallow yourself."

"...None of your business."

Good deeds go unrewarded.

Hua Jinnian stood up: "Let's go. The battle of the Ten Deadly Caves is over, but you still have a lot to do..."

Chu Qing nodded. The death of the Ghost Emperor was no small matter, and many things needed to be arranged in advance.

But after taking that step, Chu Qing suddenly felt a tightness in her heart.

Something is wrong!
I received the commission to assassinate the Ghost Emperor from Hua Jinnian. Now that the Ghost Emperor is dead... why didn't the system pop up a notification that the commission was completed?

In the blink of an eye, it was as if a drop of clear spring water had fallen into the lake.

In an instant, ripples spread...

The earth-shattering magic instantly permeated his entire body, and he immediately turned around abruptly.

Then they saw that the Ghost Emperor's mutilated corpse had actually sat up.

The upper body that should have been discarded has, at this very moment, sprouted a new body...

He had thick black hair, a handsome face, and a slightly sinister demeanor, but he looked to be no more than twenty years old.

It was as if the Ghost Emperor had suddenly become young again, returning to the age of twenty.

At the very moment Chu Qing looked at him, the Ghost Emperor also opened his eyes, his eyes filled with purple light, showing neither sorrow nor joy.

The way he looked at Chu Qing was as if he were staring at an object, without the slightest emotion.

The next moment, he suddenly rose up, unleashing both palms, and arrived in front of Chu Qing in the blink of an eye.

Chu Qing had no time to change his move and could only raise his palm to meet the attack, when a loud explosion was heard.

Hua Jinnian only felt a blur before his eyes, and the two figures had already traveled dozens of feet away. When he looked back in the direction of the Ghost Emperor, his expression changed drastically:

"How could this be?"

Chu Qing and the Ghost Emperor, their hands clasped together, were pushed backward and couldn't help but ask:

"You're not dead?"

"【The Way of Ghosts and Gods】determines life and death, controls reincarnation, and unites the six realms!"

"You think you can kill me, the Emperor?"

"That's truly a wild idea!!"

The Ghost Emperor circulated his inner energy while speaking in a deep voice:
"However, it was also thanks to that peerless strike that I was put in a life-or-death situation and was able to truly comprehend the true meaning of [Reincarnation]."

"As long as reincarnation exists, ghosts and gods will never die!"
"This Emperor...is immortal and indestructible!!"

boom! ! ! !

With a loud bang, the hill crumbled.

Chu Qing's body swirled in the air, and with a hum, the Shark-Slaying Blade, barely warmed in Wan Chunhua's scabbard, was once again in Chu Qing's hand.
"Reincarnation is eternal... and ghosts and gods are immortal?"
"Don't talk big. At worst, I'll just kill you again!"

……

……

P.S.: I got a pimple on the inside of my eyelid these past two days, and it hurts half of my face too... It's so uncomfortable.
