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

Chapter 511 Never Missing a Shot, Every Strike a Deadly Blow
"They stopped?"

"What are they talking about?"

"We can't hear them because they're too far away... Where did that sudden sound go? Let's hear what they're talking about!"

"Wait, look at the alliance leader. He threw away the treasured sword, but isn't he holding something in his hand?"

"That's... a throwing knife!?"

Indeed, there are people with keen eyesight who can see clearly what Qing is holding from such a distance.

But when he said this, his voice was full of astonishment:
"Why a throwing knife? What role can a throwing knife play in a fight of this level?"

"Could it be that the Alliance Leader also possesses extraordinary skill in throwing knives?"

"Impossible! In the martial arts world, if we're talking about those skilled in throwing knives... there are very few people we can think of."

"And looking across the Southern Region, the most talked-about flying knife skill should belong to the elusive Night Emperor!"

"That's right, the Night Emperor's throwing knives are indeed formidable."

"I heard that he first appeared in Tianwu City... He once killed a demon from the Tianxie Sect with a flying knife in the city lord's mansion."

"After that, he reappeared in Divine Blade City, and with another flying knife, killed Pei Wuji."

"Although the two people he killed were not important figures... according to those present, it was an indescribable throwing knife technique, incredibly skillful, and once it was used, the opponent was sure to die!"

"But even if the Night Emperor's throwing knives are unparalleled in the world, what does that have to do with our alliance leader?"

These people can't get involved or help, so they can only chat idly here.

But just as the conversation reached this point, someone suddenly murmured:
"The Night Emperor... first appeared in the martial world in Tianwu City."

"And isn't Miss Wu, who's standing next to the Alliance Leader, the young lady of Tianwu City?"

"The Night Emperor reappeared in Divine Blade City. If I remember correctly, the gentle girl from Falling Dust Manor and the Alliance Leader were also in Divine Blade City at that time!"
"At that time, in Divine Blade City, Jiang Shendao attempted to use a Chaotic God Blade to control all the heroes under heaven. Given the leader's martial arts skills and temperament, it was absolutely impossible for him to succeed..."

"But it wasn't the Alliance Leader who made the move, but the Night Emperor..."

"Also, have you ever heard when Miss Wen of Luochen Manor appeared by the Alliance Leader's side?"

At that time, Chu Qing had not yet risen to prominence in the martial arts world and was an unknown figure.

If Chu Qing still didn't have any reputation today, naturally not many people would know about these things.

But as the name "Third Young Master" became more and more prominent, his past was also dug up by those with ulterior motives.

Although his true identity has never been found, some things are not as well hidden as one might imagine...

Even then, someone said:
"I once heard that the Alliance Leader and the Gentle Girl met in Tianwu City and have been together ever since."

"In other words, the alliance leader was also in Tianwu City at that time."

"The Night Emperor first appeared in the martial world in Tianwu City, and the Alliance Leader was also there."

"The Night Emperor killed Jiang Shendao in Shendao City, and the Alliance Leader was also there."

"The Night Emperor possesses an unparalleled skill in throwing knives... and now, the Alliance Leader also wields a throwing knife..."

"Could it be that……"

As everyone finished speaking, their gazes turned to Wu Qianhuan and Wenrou.

Neither Wu Qianhuan nor Wenrou spared them any attention.

They simply gazed at Chu Qing, who was holding a throwing knife and whose clothes fluttered in the wind in the distance.

They had all witnessed Chu Qing's unique skill with flying knives.

I know how amazing that skill was, and such a throwing knife technique is so iconic.

Now, these people from the Southern Region have clearly discovered something through subtle clues... all that's missing is confirmation.

Chu Qing would never have resorted to such methods unless it was a critical moment.

Was it because the Ghost Emperor before him made him feel unprecedented pressure?

Then... will his throwing knives still be up to the task in today's battle?
Is he hesitating because he hasn't made a move for so long?

Wu Qianhuan instinctively grasped Wenrou's hand and pulled her up from the stool. The two girls held hands tightly, both able to feel the tension in each other's hearts.

And at that very moment... Chu Qing made his move!

In a daze, that flying knife seemed like a rainbow streaking across the sky.

The sudden burst of brilliance, even from a distance, was enough to quietly quell all the discussions.

Most of the people present were unable to see clearly what changes the flying knife in mid-air underwent at that moment, or what kind of style it displayed... Their eyes were also unable to catch the trace of the knife.

Not to mention, at such a distance, some of them couldn't even see clearly what was happening there!
All that is known is that the Ghost Emperor's figure resembled a bird struck by an arrow.

He suddenly fell from mid-air, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Only those with keen eyesight could see that the flying knife, made by Chu Qing, whose trajectory they could not pinpoint, vanished abruptly from their sight and reappeared already embedded in the Ghost Emperor's throat.

Without warning, as if the knife had always been there.

The Ghost Emperor's life should be taken in this uneventful and unexpected manner.

"The Alliance Leader... is the Night Emperor!!"

"It was this strike... I was fortunate enough to witness its power once within the City of Divine Blades!"

The speaker was holding an iron spear.

If Chu Qingren were here, he would surely recognize this person as Fang Tianrui, the leader of the Righteous Alliance, one of the three major forces that gathered in Shendao City at that time.

Even with his martial arts skills, it took him a lot of effort and hard work to join the elite group of two thousand people.

Even so, among these two thousand people, he was merely at the very bottom of the list.

"The leader of the alliance is the Night Emperor... The Night Emperor is the leader of the alliance?"
"This... the Alliance Leader is an assassin?"

"So what if he's an assassin? As far as I know, since the Night Emperor appeared in the martial world, every single person he has killed has been a vicious and ruthless individual."

"Or else, they're just lackeys of the Heavenly Evil Cult."

"He owes nothing to the martial arts world and has always acted on behalf of Heaven!"
"So what if he's an assassin? Would you disown your leader just because he's an assassin?"

"Bullshit! When did I ever say that?"
"The leader of the alliance is wholeheartedly devoted to justice in the martial world. Whether it is the assassin or the leader, I admire him to the core!"

"That's pretty much it..."

Meanwhile, Tie Lingyun and the others in the crowd were somewhat bewildered...

Back in Ghost God Gorge, they watched helplessly as Chu Qing and the Night Emperor met, their faces tense and ready to draw their swords.

How come they're all the same person now?

How... how exactly did this magic trick work?

However, besides being shocked, some people also had rather complicated feelings.

These were the sects that had sought help from the Night Emperor before the battle at Immortal Cloud Mountain.

They asked the Night Emperor to kill the Lord of Heavenly Slaughter.

When the Night Emperor arrived, he promised... and guaranteed that if their leader failed to kill the Heavenly Slaughter Soldier Lord...

Then the Night Emperor will show up to cover for him.

And they demanded an exorbitant fee.

At the time, the three major sects agreed... and afterwards, this Night Emperor was nowhere to be seen during the great battle, but he still came up to them righteously to ask for money.

Because there was a prior agreement, and they couldn't win the fight.

They had no choice but to pay... but only a portion, as they couldn't afford to pay the whole amount. So, to this day, they still owe the Night Emperor a huge sum of money.

Who would have thought that this Night Emperor was actually the Alliance Leader?
The money they spent was... completely unnecessary!
For a moment, the few people in the know looked at each other in bewilderment... just like Tie Lingyun and the others, they were all confused.

Amidst their confusion, someone suddenly cheered:
"The Ghost Emperor is dead again!!!"

"Hahaha, so what if he's resurrected? The Alliance Leader's martial arts are unparalleled. Even if the Ghost Emperor could come back to life a hundred times, the Alliance Leader could kill him a hundred times!"

"He thinks he can compete with the alliance leader? He's delusional!"

"In the past, we only knew that the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were powerful and influential, but now, compared with the Alliance Leader, what are those so-called Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors?"

But just as they were rejoicing, they saw the Ghost Emperor, who had been lying dead on the spot, suddenly sit up again.

The conversation immediately came to an abrupt halt.

The guy who just said, "Even if the Ghost Emperor could come back to life a hundred times, the Alliance Leader could kill him a hundred times," was secretly kicked several times to prove his bad luck.

In fact, it wasn't just the experts from all over the Southern Region who were completely bewildered by the current situation.

Even the Ghost Emperor was completely bewildered at this moment.

He casually pulled the throwing knife from his throat, and the wound healed instantly.

Holding the throwing knife, his face was bewildered. After examining it several times, he finally looked at Chu Qing, who had landed in front of him:
"This knife... has nothing special about it."

"You... what right do you have to kill me?"

"One strike really won't kill you."

Chu Qing looked up at the Ghost Emperor, and with a flick of his wrist, another knife appeared in his hand.

The Ghost Emperor's pupils suddenly contracted, followed by a cold laugh:
"You think you can kill me a second time using the same methods..."

Before he could finish speaking, Chu Qing raised his hand.

The Ghost Emperor circulated his inner energy and activated his senses to the limit... but the next moment, everything went black.

This time, the flying knife didn't pierce the Ghost Emperor's throat, but went straight through his head.

He died again...

The body fell to the ground with a thud.

Blood flowed from the wound, soaking the ground of the Ten Deadly Caves.

But the Ghost Emperor suddenly took a deep breath and sat up again, reaching up to touch his head:
"This is impossible……"

When he looked up at Chu Qing again, he saw Chu Qing looking at him with a very indifferent gaze.

And in Chu Qing's hand... there was now another throwing knife.

"wait……"

The Ghost Emperor suddenly leaped up, but Chu Qing remained silent, merely raising his hand.

“This is unreasonable!!!”

The Ghost Emperor was furious. In an instant, his figure split into countless ghostly shadows, making it difficult to distinguish between the real and the illusory.

But in the next instant, all the ghostly figures vanished without a trace.

Only the figure of the Ghost Emperor appeared before Chu Qing, with another hole in his head.

"How... is this possible..."

The Ghost Emperor spun around and fell to the ground with a thud once again.

This time, however, after the Ghost Emperor woke up, he didn't even think twice before walking away...

This is the fourth time!
【Reincarnation without death, immortality of ghosts and gods】While this is very powerful, allowing one to repeatedly escape death, it comes at a price.

Chu Qing was already a peerless martial artist. After his near-death experience, he was exhausted. With the balance shifting, Chu Qing would still need to use a throwing knife to kill him now, but later on... he probably wouldn't need it anymore.

When that time really comes, Chu Qing could kill himself a thousand times over with ease.

Then I would really die!
Having dominated his entire life, this was the first time the Ghost Emperor had ever truly felt fear.

He was afraid...

They were afraid of this young man who seemed like a ghost or a god.

They were also afraid of the throwing knife in his hand, a weapon that even ghosts and gods would have to respect.

But the moment the Ghost Emperor turned around, Chu Qing's figure had already appeared in front of him.

He raised his hand...and brandished his knife!

the fifth time!
He experienced the sensation of being pierced through the center of his forehead three times.

When the Ghost Emperor woke up again, he felt an unusual pain between his eyebrows.

He raised his eyes in a daze and looked at Chu Qing in front of him.

In Chu Qing's hand was a throwing knife... shaped like a willow leaf, thin as a cicada's wing, and looked very sharp.

When the Ghost Emperor's gaze fell upon the knife, his pupils contracted slightly.

This small throwing knife killed him four times in a row.

He wanted to run away... this time he really wanted to run away.

How could he, the Ghost Emperor among the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, die at the hands of Chu Qing? How could he die under the hands of an unknown flying knife?

"The reason you are able to live is not because you are truly immortal like a ghost or god."

Chu Qing's voice reached the Ghost Emperor's ears at this moment:

"It's because your [Path of Ghosts and Gods] is truly a peerless skill, unparalleled in the world..."

The Ghost Emperor gritted his teeth slightly. He knew that Chu Qing's words were not out of covetousness for his [Path of Ghosts and Gods], nor out of fear of him.

"But what if you...forget about the [Way of Ghosts and Gods]?"

Chu Qing suddenly uttered something astonishing.

The Ghost Emperor's gaze darkened as he met Chu Qing's eyes, only to see that a strange blue hue had appeared in Chu Qing's eyes at some point.

In a daze, it seemed as if something had clouded my heart.

The Ghost Emperor's heart sank. It was a mental martial art!?
The Ghost Emperor's Palace does possess this technique; it can be used and also defended against...

Chu Qing's mind went blank for a moment because he had fallen for Chu Qing's trick.

Now that he sensed something was wrong with Chu Qing's eyes, he immediately tried to defend himself using what he had learned, but as soon as he had the thought, a piercing pain shot through his brow.

"Ah!! How could this be!?"

Even the composed Ghost Emperor, who never uttered a sound even in the face of death, couldn't help but scream in agony at this moment.

"I will make you forget the ultimate techniques of the Six Paths!"

Chu Qing's voice rushed into his ears. The Ghost Emperor gritted his teeth. He understood what Chu Qing meant, but how could he let him succeed?
You want me to forget... but I'll never forget!

How could I possibly forget the Six Paths Ultimate Technique... What is the Six Paths Ultimate Technique?
The Ghost Emperor's eyes went blank for a moment, then he heard Chu Qing say again:
"I will grant you the ability to forget reincarnation... life and death!"

"Do not……"

The Ghost Emperor covered his head with both hands, the intense pain between his eyebrows was too unbearable, and it seemed that something in his mind was leaving him.

Only Chu Qing's voice, word by word, struck my heart:

"I will make you forget the [Path of Ghosts and Gods]!!"
