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

Chapter 518 Annihilation with a Wave
Xuandi Shang Qiuyu was because the Ghost Emperor was searching for the [Tianyuan Chess Manual] but had disappeared without a trace, and he also realized that all of this was a scheme orchestrated by the Heavenly Evil Sect to kill the Ghost Emperor.

Unable to find any trace of the Ghost Emperor, he decided to wait in the Valley of Abandoned Gods.

Because of You Zong, Chu Qing learned the whole story.

Now that the Ghost Emperor is dead, the Heavenly Evil Cult's conspiracy should, to some extent, be completely thwarted...

Even if Emperor Xuan, Shang Qiuyu, stayed here and waited for another ten years, he would not see the Ghost Emperor arrive.

Such a master, one of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, is wasting his time here in this era of great strife; it is truly a waste.

So after he learned the general situation from Jiashe and asked the shepherd boy about the Xuan Emperor, he decided... before heading to Jue Tian Pass to fight the Earth Slaughter Soldier Lord, he would first go to the Abandoned God Valley to find the Xuan Emperor.

One reason has already been given: such a master should not waste his time here.

On another front... now both the eastern and western regions have fallen.

The Western Regions' warlord, having gathered 50,000 troops, harbored a vain ambition to invade the Southern Regions.

The Western Regions and the Southern Regions are separated by another place, the Jue Tian Pass in the Tong Tian Ridge, which can be considered a gateway to the Southern Regions.

However, this would mean that Chu Qing would have to lead the experts from the Southern Region to Jue Tian Pass to fight, but there was no guarantee that the other gate would not fall as a result.

Therefore, Chu Qing came hoping to ask Emperor Xuan, Shang Qiuyu, to take action and guard another gateway in the Southern Region.

Only with this person's help can Chu Qing be free from worries.

For the sake of convenience, he didn't even bring Wu Qianhuan and Wenrou with him. After obtaining the token from the shepherd boy, he used his lightness skill to rush to this place at a speed like chasing stars and the moon.

Unexpectedly, in just one encounter, Emperor Xuan called him a pretty boy.

Now that he's the leader of the martial arts alliance in the Southern Region, it's been quite a while since anyone has addressed him like that...

For a moment, I was utterly speechless.

Shang Qiuyu also realized he had spoken out of turn. He looked at Chu Qing as he arrived, and putting everything else aside, Chu Qing's lightness skill alone was no less than that of You Zong.

Putting aside everything else, even though You Zong is known as the number one thief in the world, he doesn't have the ability to fly through the clouds and cross the air.

But this person was able to do it.

In this respect alone, You Zong is far inferior to him.

More importantly, this person has such abilities at such a young age, so his future is limitless.

Under such circumstances, it was truly inappropriate for me to speak so rudely.

It wasn't out of fear, but rather because Shang Qiuyu had some unspoken reasons and didn't want to offend such a talented young man.

Therefore, after saying the first sentence, taking advantage of Chu Qing's momentary daze, he quickly said:
"Oh my, where did this handsome young man come from? He's just as good-looking as I was in my youth!!"

Chu Qing's eyes widened even more... He felt that the personality of this Xuan Emperor Shang Qiuyu was probably not quite the same as the description given by the shepherd boy.

Regardless of whether he's a good or bad person, he was cursing someone one second and then praising them the next.

While the praise was not wrong, was such an abrupt transition appropriate?

He perfectly embodied the phrase "arrogant at first, then obsequious."

Chu Qing was momentarily speechless, unsure of what to say, when she heard a cold laugh, and a slightly heavy voice spoke:
"Where did this madman come from, so reckless and courting death?!"
"Emperor Xuan is already at his last gasp. You've come here to die, how can we not grant your wish?"

Upon hearing this, Shang Qiuyu's expression changed, and she quickly said:

"Good lad, I am very grateful that you came to save me."

"But I don't know how skilled you are in martial arts at such a young age?"

"Now that I am poisoned by a drop of water, although I can still perform my martial arts, every bit of internal energy I exert brings me one step closer to death."

"If your martial arts skills are lacking, then rely on your lightness skill to escape for your life."

"Oh, right... I have another last wish. I have a daughter named Mu Tong'er, who is currently with a pretty boy named Chu Qing."

"You used your superior lightness skill to go to that pretty boy's side and snatch my daughter away. In return, I can betroth her to you."

"Oh, right... and also, you must take good care of my wife, but you are not allowed to make any advances toward her, she is your mother-in-law."

"If she wants to remarry in the future, you must resolutely refuse, do you understand?"

Shang Qiuyu knew the situation was critical. Although some things are best left unsaid, he recognized Chu Qing's character simply because Chu Qing had come to his rescue at this critical moment.

Therefore, he explained everything, whether it was something he didn't know or not.

Chu Qing didn't understand what he was hearing; his mind was a complete mess. He only heard this guy calling him a gigolo again, and he did it by name.

This is absolutely outrageous!

And... when a loving couple is in danger and about to die, they usually say things like, "Don't waste your life for me, find someone else while you're still young"... How come this person is so adamant about not allowing the other person to remarry?

Seeing Chu Qing's dazed expression, Shang Qiuyu was genuinely getting anxious.

Because after saying those words, the person opposite had already jumped up.

When a person is in mid-air, their aura rises steadily.

At the beginning, his aura was unremarkable, but after this step, with each step forward, his aura became more and more powerful.

Upon reaching the highest point, the scenery remained magnificent and breathtaking.

A powerful aura emanated from him, as if he were a figure second only to the emperor, a person of immense power and influence.

Then he uttered a soft shout:
"Turning one's hand can create clouds, turning it back can create rain!"

With a single palm strike, it draws upon the power of all directions; with a single strike, it unleashes a thunderous roar!
A powerful palm strike landed heavily.

Even Shang Qiuyu let out a "Huh?" sound, and then Chu Qing also let out a "Huh?" sound.

The two then spoke in unison:
"interesting!"

But the next moment, Shang Qiuyu realized that he said "interesting" because he had profound internal strength and high martial arts skills. He was one of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors and one of the top masters in the world.

How can this young man be so confident at such a young age?
Just as he was stunned, he saw Chu Qing blow a breath into the air.

That one breath made the hairs on Shang Qiuyu's body stand on end.

A strong sense of danger actually came from Chu Qing!
This breath, upon reaching mid-air, transformed into an extremely powerful aura.

It seemed as if a blade was whistling through the air, or as if a sword was ringing out overhead...

With a single sweep, the so-called "turning one's hand to make clouds, turning one's hand to make rain" vanished in an instant.

The figure in mid-air, whose aura had already reached its peak, was instantly knocked down.

He coughed up a mouthful of blood and flew backward.

"you!!!"

Before he even landed, he cried out in surprise, but his words were interrupted by the act of landing. After rolling several times on the ground, he finally got up and pointed at Chu Qing:

"who are you?"

Before Chu Qing could speak, another person under a cloak exclaimed in surprise:
"It's you!?"

"who are you?"

Chu Qing glanced at the person who spoke with some curiosity:
"Are you hiding your true self, ashamed to be seen by others?"

With a whoosh, the ultimate sword energy appeared where the gaze fell.

The man tried to resist, but only felt a chill run through his body.

Just from that one glance, he recalled some very unpleasant memories. What's worse, when those memories combined with the present reality, they formed an extremely terrifying truth.

It made him feel cold all over, and he could hardly muster any thought of resistance.

In that moment of confusion, a hissing sound was heard.

His black robes shattered completely, revealing his true face beneath.

Chu Qing was stunned upon seeing this:
"It's you? The head of the third academy of Wenxin Pavilion, what's your name again?"

"By the way, Officer Liu!"
"What's wrong with your eyes? I remember you were struck by my sword; logically, you should be dead..."

"How can you still be alive? The person next to you gave you their eyes?"

"That's not right either. You only have one pair of eyes. Even if I gave them to you, it wouldn't save your life, would it?"
“Strange, strange… People from your Wenxin Pavilion are indeed all very strange.”

"The martial arts that person used just now were strange, but your current situation is even stranger."

"Come, let me see what's going on?"

Without a second thought, Liu Qianguan turned and ran. But before he could turn back, a powerful suction force had already arrived.

Inside Wanbaolou, he already knew that he was no match for Chu Qing.

At that time, Liu Qianguan used illusion magic to try to stop Chu Qing from making a move.

Unexpectedly, not only did it have no effect on Chu Qing, but Chu Qing also used his methods to create another illusion in an attempt to kill him.

If it weren't for the Pavilion Master's intervention, he would have been dead for who knows how long.

Only then did he suffer that sword strike that separated him from the world...

Now that they meet again, Chu Qing only glanced at him before unleashing a sword intent that transcends lifetimes.

Even their gazes were swords!
How is this played?
Even with all my strength, I can't withstand a single glance from the other party?
It would have been better to run away sooner... but unexpectedly, even running away wouldn't have been an option.

He exclaimed in surprise, trying to grab something with both hands, but he couldn't grasp anything.

The others wanted to help, but it was too late.

Just as they watched, Chu Qing grabbed Liu Qianguan in his palm and choked him.

"Come, look into my eyes!"

Chu Qing gripped his throat, pressed him down, and forced him to look her in the eye.

In an instant, a loud bang suddenly rang out overhead:
"Who dares to..."

Before he could finish speaking, Chu Qing suddenly waved his hand, and the sound in mid-air abruptly stopped.

"The head of Wenxin Pavilion?"

Chu Qing smiled faintly.

"He also left a backup plan on you... Could you be his illegitimate child?"

"He saved your life last time, and now he's trying to ruin my plans again?"
"Was he an old man who hanged himself because he thought he had too much life left?"

"However, your method is quite interesting..."

"You were tricked into entrusting Cang Tong with his life, which gave you a sliver of hope."

"Interesting... It's a pity you don't cherish this hard-won chance to live, and insist on courting death..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he exerted force with his palm, and a cracking sound was heard. Then, with a flick of his wrist, a cloud of blood mist was sprayed out.

With a whoosh, before the blood mist could even land, it burst into flames.

Make sure every piece of flesh is burned to a crisp.

The scene was surprisingly quite beautiful for a moment.

It has a kind of beauty that waving goodbye to red plum blossoms, with petals as fiery as clouds.

"Headmaster Liu!"

"How could this be?"

"who are you?"

The remaining people couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

Chu Qing's gaze swept over each of them:

"There are five left, making a total of six... If I remember correctly, Wenxin Pavilion should have a total of six courtyards."

"You wouldn't happen to be the six deans under the head of Wenxin Pavilion, would you?"

"That's strange. Why isn't your sect leader making a move to deal with Emperor Xuan? Why is he being so arrogant?"

"Was it the poison in that drop of water that gave him his confidence?"

Shang Qiuyu suddenly looked at Chu Qing with new respect.

He broke through that move "Turning the hand to make clouds, turning the hand to make rain" in one breath, shattered Liu Qianguan's robe with a single glance, grabbed Liu Qianguan between his fingers with one reach, and with a flick of his wrist, the dignified headmaster of Wenxin Pavilion died and vanished.

What kind of method is this?

Compared to myself, I'm afraid I'm not much better?

No, even stronger!

"You...who are you?"

This was a question that not only the black-robed men opposite wanted to know, but Shang Qiuyu also wanted to know.

Chu Qing gave him a disgruntled look:
"I'm a gigolo."

Shang Qiuyu nodded repeatedly:
"Me too."

"...You're my grandpa!"

Chu Qing was speechless. No wonder the shepherd girl had such a lively personality; it turned out her father was a goofball.

However, if it weren't for his personality, he wouldn't have been able to marry into the family as the heir to the Xuan Emperor.

Shang Qiuyu was also unhappy upon hearing this:
"You... why are you swearing when you should be speaking properly?"

"This is called rudeness when no one returns the favor."

Chu Qing spoke with righteous indignation and stern words.

Shang Qiuyu nodded repeatedly:
"Alright, then we're even now."

"Can you tell me who you really are?"

Didn't I just tell you?

Chu Qing said:

"I am the pretty boy Chu Qing that you mentioned."

"Chu Qing...pretty boy?"

Shang Qiuyu suddenly gasped:
"how old are you?"

"Nineteen."

What's your birth order?

"The third oldest."

"You have two female confidantes?"

"You know this too?"

"You're still the leader of the martial arts world in the Southern Region!?"

"It's me."

Chu Qing nodded slightly.

"Oh no, oh no!"

Shang Qiuyu felt a wave of dejection:
"What should I do?"

Chu Qing rolled her eyes at him, wondering what was wrong with this guy. What normal person would entrust their daughter to someone they didn't even know... and then tell her not to mess with his wife.

That sounds really weird.

I always felt that the shepherd boy's father wasn't a decent person...

The people opposite them looked at each other, and without thinking, someone shouted:
"Walk!!!"

He immediately leaped into the air, intending to flee a thousand miles away.

Chu Qing looked up and heard the sounds of swords clashing echoing through the air.

A series of flashing swords and shadows cut off their path.

As everyone turned around, they saw that Chu Qing was already not far from them.

He stood tall, one hand behind his back, and smiled slightly at the crowd:
"Although Emperor Xuan is currently suffering from severe poisoning, it seems he won't die anytime soon."

"Come, come, now that you're here, don't leave."

"This place boasts unparalleled scenery, making it the perfect burial ground for you all!!"
