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

Chapter 525 The Heavenly Evil Cult is the Earth Slaughterer!
Five people made a move at that instant.

One person, with the cry of a crane, took the initiative and moved with such speed that it was like a fleeting shadow, a thousand times in an instant.

Another person displayed an exquisite finger technique. This finger technique had only one move, and when it was used, three lights flowed around it, entwining around the finger shadow and amplifying its power.

The remaining three also possessed unique skills.

One of them pushed with both palms, like a mountain collapsing and a sea churning, the air waves rolling and covering all directions.

One has eyes like stars, and his attacks always target vital points, as if he can see through the secrets of fate.

There was another person standing at a distance, yet his influence extended to all directions. Although his moves were concealed, there was an underlying sense that he would unleash a thunderous rage at any moment.

It seems he's waiting for others to fail so he can seize the opportunity and turn the tide in one fell swoop.

Cao Qiupu had anticipated this, so his expression didn't change much.

But seeing the attacks coming from all around, he couldn't help but feel a momentary pause.

The martial arts skills of the newcomers were probably all above his own. If he had the Divine Sound Sword, he would still be confident that he could compete with any one of them... But if he were to face the sneak attack of all five of them at the same time, he would surely die on the spot.

However, he also knew that at this moment, they didn't want to kill him.

Instead, it was Chu Qing behind him.

But Chu Qing... is he someone they can kill whenever they want?
In a moment of turmoil, Chu Qing suddenly moved him behind her and then grabbed him casually.

There was no one there when he grabbed at the spot, but the moment his five fingers clenched, he landed right on someone's back.

The grip was extremely fierce, with the five fingers digging deep into the spine, as if reaching out to capture a dragon. The man, in pain, shrank back, about to let out a scream... but found that he was no longer in control of his own body.

Chu Qing casually flicked his wrist, and the [Three Elements Transformation Finger] struck head-on!
Forgetting all his screams, he moved his feet frantically, trying to escape from the perilous situation.

But in that instant, powerful true energy poured into his body, making his legs straight as straight as wooden stakes.

Immediately following, a force slammed down, pinning him directly into the ground.

The good news is that Chu Qing let him go.

The bad news is... he couldn't move or walk, and could only watch helplessly as the [Three Elements Transformation Finger] arrived in front of him.

Fortunately, although the person who made the move had been preparing for a long time, he had ultimately cultivated martial arts for a lifetime, and was still able to slightly deflect the attack at the crucial moment.

At that height, a single finger could easily pierce the head of the person nailed to the ground.

Now, with a forced turn, a deep scar was left on his face, the skin and flesh were torn apart, revealing the muscle, and his entire ear and half of his scalp were all taken away by this finger.

Chu Qing seemed to have anticipated this, sweeping his hand across the back of the unfortunate man's head, capturing all the remaining finger strength between his five fingers.

With a casual flick of his wrist, he struck the man whose palms were wreathed in towering waves.

The two forces shook violently.

The man's arms trembled, and he was sent flying backwards by the force of the attack. The surging waves of energy covered all directions, and he vanished without a trace.

After doing this, Chu Qing reached down to grab it, but found nothing. He let out a "Huh?" and tried to grab it again, but missed.

The person opposite him had eyes that sparkled like stars, as if they could see through the secrets of the world.

Chu Qing suddenly realized something, and with a surge of internal energy from the [Heavenly Extreme Formless Divine Power], he sent the person who was still trying to leap up flying backward, the starlight in his eyes dimming considerably.

Only one person remained, and Chu Qing looked up to meet his gaze.

The color in the man's pupils had changed from full of confidence to utter horror.

These events, though numerous, can be recounted in a short span of time.

Others might not know, but the person standing here at the end knew very well who these people were.

The Western Regions originally had one city, one courtyard, three pavilions, and four manors, but now only six remain.

The five people present today are the leaders of the remaining six families.

The one who unleashed the towering waves of energy with both palms was none other than Qilian Tian, ​​the city lord of the Western Regions Mountain and Sea City!
The one whose movements were as elusive as a ghost and whose posture was as sharp as a crane's cry was Bai Xiaozong, the master of the Flying Immortal Pavilion.

The one who unleashed the [Three Elements Transformation Finger] was Song Qinghe, the master of the Three Elements Manor, known as "One Finger That Cuts Rivers and Lakes"!

As for the one with eyes like stars and who mainly uses close-quarters combat, it is Duan Qingchen, the master of Xiaoxing Manor.

He himself is the master of Liuyun Pavilion, known in the martial arts world as Meng Qianfan, also known as "Liuyun Qianchi".

Meng Qianfan believed that among the many sects in the Western Regions, his martial arts skills were among the top three. He believed that he could defeat the other four of the five people who were fighting him.

However, facing four people attacking at the same time, he absolutely could not defeat them all in that instant.

Not to mention the person in front of us. Although the exchange was only for a moment, this person's move was less about defeating these four people and more about manipulating them at will.

With every gesture, he manipulated his opponent as if he were toying with a child.

Although Duan Qingchen, the master of Xiaoxingzhuang, managed to entangle with Chu Qing for a move using the "Star Gazing and Moon Viewing" technique, he was still no match for the opponent's powerful true energy.

Even the "Stargazing and Moon Gazing" formation was nearly shattered by the shockwave.

Who exactly is this leader of the Southern Martial Arts Alliance?

How could such a master appear in the martial arts world of the Southern Region?
Meng Qianfan originally thought that with the help of the other four people, even if they were no match for the newcomer, they could still make the newcomer lose his footing, and he could take advantage of that momentary opening to make his move.

But now it seems that was too naive.

The Earth Slaughtering Army Lord has gone to great lengths, scheming and plotting to set up today's trap. How could he possibly be dealing with someone who is mediocre and incompetent?

This person's martial arts skills are so high that even the local warlord would probably not dare to easily become his enemy...

Just as Chu Qing was thinking about this, before he could even say a word, he heard the sound of figures cutting through the air.

They were a group of bald monks, emerging from the forest.

“Junior Brother Jiashe, we are here.”

"The various sects in the Western Regions have already abandoned the ways of the martial world and become lackeys of the Heavenly Evil Cult. They can be directly exorcised and there is no need to worry about them."

"May I ask if this gentleman is the leader of the Southern Martial Arts Alliance? Our Great Sumeru Zen Temple was defeated by the Heavenly Evil Sect. We have brought our remaining disciples and traveled thousands of miles to the Southern Region to pledge our allegiance to the Alliance Leader. We humbly request that the Alliance Leader accept us!"

The monks spoke up one after another, and in the blink of an eye they had arrived beside Chu Qing and Cao Qiupu.

Some of them grabbed Cao Qiupu and pulled him away.

The remaining people stood around Chu Qing, facing the five remaining experts, their eyes full of vigilance.

An old monk stood before Chu Qing, blood still lingering at the corners of his mouth, yet he knelt down as if a mountain of gold and a jade pillar had been overturned, clasping his hands in a fist salute:

“The Great Sumeru Zen Monastery has suffered the greatest upheaval in hundreds of years, and now only one in ten of its disciples remains.”

"I have long heard that the Southern Jianghu has been unified by the Alliance Leader. Today, the evil cult is powerful, and only the Southern Jianghu Dao led by the Alliance Leader can temporarily stand against it."

"Therefore, this humble monk, accompanied by his disciples, has come here to meet the Alliance Leader, willing to serve as his vanguard and even die for him!!"

Chu Qing's eyes flashed, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. Was she putting on a dramatic act and planning a sneak attack?

Does this person think they're Zhang Zhenren (a famous Chinese comedian)?
"Then don't blame me for not giving you a chance."

In a flash, he quickly reached out to help her up:
"Senior, you mustn't do that. I was merely fortunate enough to become the leader of the Southern Region Alliance. The Heavenly Evil Sect's perverse actions are intolerable to Heaven's principles."

"It is truly fortunate that you all escaped this great calamity and survived."

"Please get up quickly..." As he spoke, he exerted force in his palm to help him up.

But then, as the old monk looked up and down, he flipped his palms, and a Buddha-like image suddenly appeared behind him.

Golden light covered his palm, revealing it to be the ultimate technique of the Great Sumeru Zen Temple: the Great Sumeru Vajra Palm!
Two powerful palm strikes slammed into Chu Qing's chest and abdomen. The old monk roared angrily, his power surging through his body.
"The Heavenly Evil Sect is driven by the general trend of the world. The Southern Jianghu is acting against the heavens, which is absolutely unacceptable!"
"This humble monk is acting on behalf of Heaven today. I beg you, benefactor, to accept your fate and be spared the calamity of defying Heaven!!"

He used all his strength, stomping his feet one after another, each step making the ground explode with a loud thud, pushing Chu Qing backward.

The monks who had been confronting the five families also switched sides and began attacking Chu Qing relentlessly. Their palms moved in quick succession, each strike accompanied by a deafening explosion. In the blink of an eye, the sounds echoed, and the surrounding land was shattered.

Chu Qing was pushed more than ten zhang away in one breath before turning his feet and seemingly regaining his balance.

The old monk's expression changed, and he felt that the situation between his two palms seemed different from what he had expected.

Logically speaking, if the opponent is completely unprepared, the Great Sumeru Vajra Palm, a great supernatural power of the Great Sumeru Zen Temple, should be able to break their bones and cause serious internal injuries.

However, after unleashing all his internal energy and pushing it here in one go, he was attacked by so many disciples of the Great Sumeru Zen Temple with all their might.

The opponent's body should be completely limp and muddy, and the condition of their chest and abdominal muscles would never be like this... as if they were completely unharmed.

Looking up at Chu Qing's face, he saw that Chu Qing's face was pale, as if he were seriously injured.

For a moment, he didn't know whether he had succeeded or not. Just as he was in a daze, Chu Qing had already struck down with his palm.

This palm strike was swift and rapid, its momentum rising like a trapped dragon ascending to heaven and falling like a thousand pounds crashing to the ground.

He struck the old monk directly on the head with a palm strike.

The old monk wasn't unwilling to escape; he had ambushed Chu Qing, intending to strike once and flee a thousand miles away.

But now that he has landed two palms on Chu Qing, how can he just leave as he pleases?
His palms seemed to be glued to the ground, unable to move at all, and he didn't have much time to move... A violent fear surged up, and a palm fell down.

With a bang, his entire head was instantly smashed into a cloud of blood mist.

Chu Qing kicked the old monk's mutilated corpse away.

He staggered back two steps, and in an effort to make it as realistic as possible, he even circulated his internal energy, forcing out a mouthful of blood.

He pointed with his finger:
"You...you plotted against me?"

"Abbot!!"

"Host!?"

Seeing that the old monk had been beheaded by Chu Qing in a single move, and that the mangled body had been kicked away like wreckage, the disciples of the Great Sumeru Zen Temple couldn't help but gasp in shock.

Then he flew into a rage:
"kill him!!!"

The crowd leaped into the air, their fists and palms moving in rapid succession. In an instant, a burst of Buddhist light appeared, followed by a continuous barrage of powerful and heavy techniques.

Chu Qing kept in mind what a seriously injured person should look like, weaving through the crowd, occasionally killing two people in the process, but also being hit twice unintentionally, so as not to look too convincing...

Judging from the current situation, the other side has set up an ambush here, using various experts as bait to make their move.

On the one hand, it was to give the old monks of Daxumi Temple an excuse to make their plight even more tragic and to make Chu Qing feel more sympathy for them.

Only in this way can we lower our guard against them and give the old monk a chance to launch a sneak attack.

On the other hand, it was also a deliberate test.

They wanted to use this opportunity to find out Chu Qing's true strength and weaknesses.

Now that the old monk is dead, the five experts have not joined forces with the monks of the Great Sumeru Temple to kill him, clearly they are all looking after their own situation.

The people behind the scenes, including the Earth Slaughter Master, probably had the same plan.

If he were to remain unscathed and casually kill these people without paying any price, the Earth Slaughter Soldier Lord and others hiding behind them might not dare to show themselves...

At least let them see the hope that they can kill themselves.

Just then, Liu Zhaonian, Tie Lingyun, and the others also needed some time to arrive.

Then let's go all the way and make it a complete charade.

Chu Qing's performance was quite realistic. After taking several blows from the disciples of the Great Sumeru Zen Temple, he finally roared angrily, stomped his foot on the ground, and pointed his fingers like a sword.

Suddenly, a sword was drawn, startling a thousand miles of strange light.

The remaining monks of the Great Sumeru Zen Temple were instantly and completely wiped out, a feat achieved with a single sword strike.

However, this attack seemed to aggravate Chu Qing's injuries, causing him to cough up another mouthful of blood. He swayed slightly before suddenly looking up at the other five experts and Cao Qiupu standing in the corner.

His expression was icy, and he spoke in a deep voice:
"Who...will come to die first?"

"Today, none of them will die."

An old voice sounded.

Chu Qing suddenly looked up:

"It's you!?"

"You youngster, you still remember my voice?"

The Pavilion Master of Wenxin Pavilion emerged from the shadows and slowly approached Meng Qianfan and the others.

He glanced at Kasher beside him:

"You did well."

Cao Qiupu was speechless for a moment. How should he answer? He couldn't bring himself to be so obsequious. In a daze, he remembered that he was currently playing the role of a monk, so he put his hands together in prayer.

"Amitabha."

The voice wasn't loud, so people could understand what I was saying, but it wasn't very clear.

To avoid giving away the secret because of his voice... But judging from what Chu Qing wanted to do, he should have succeeded by now. Even if he was exposed, he probably wouldn't be afraid anymore, right?
Chu Qing grinned:
"I still vividly remember the dialogue between Wanbaolou and others."

"You think highly of me, actually using Jiashe to set up such a killing formation... But I wonder, just how much benefit did you, you bald thief, receive from the Heavenly Evil Sect? You're actually colluding with them!?"

Cao Qiupu was an honest man, and sweat was almost dripping down his forehead.

I just felt like Chu Qing was acting like a drama queen.
I even have lines?

How should I answer this in order to conform to Kassapa's persona?
Say Amitabha again?
Just as I was in a dilemma, a long laugh rang out:
"It is said that a true dragon has emerged in the Southern Jianghu..."

"Unify the ways of the martial world and intimidate all heroes."

"Even my evil cult has repeatedly suffered defeats at your hands."

"Upon looking at it today, it seems that the claim is rather exaggerated!"

"and who are you?"

Chu Qing looked at the imposing giant and raised an eyebrow slightly.

All that could be heard was a cold laugh:

"When you get to the underworld, remember to tell King Yama that the one who killed you... was the Earth Slaughterer of the Heavenly Evil Cult!!"
