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

Chapter 547 You help me beat him up!
Looking at Chu Qing who had fallen from the sky, Li Juechen felt like his brain wasn't quite working properly.

How come he is here?

Shouldn't he be fighting the Heavenly Evil Cult Leader? Shouldn't he be the one ultimately killed by the Heavenly Evil Cult Leader?

This position was too far from the battle, and even Li Juechen could hardly see the details of the battle. He could only sense the situation through the aftershocks of their fight.

However, he did take in Chu Qing's Maha Boundless and the Heavenly Evil Cult Master's [Dragon's Roar to the Nine Heavens] because of their immense power.

However, as the immeasurable Maha disappeared, even the details became difficult to grasp.

Even more unexpectedly, the leader of the Heavenly Evil Cult lost his life under Chu Qing's Maha Boundless Power. After being resurrected, he didn't even have the courage to face Chu Qing and instead ran away.

Chu Qing was forced to retreat by the [Emperor's World-Shaking Treasure Record] and had no intention of fighting. He drifted backward and happened to drift here.

This caused Li Juechen to feel conflicted.

Chu Qing's martial arts skills were even more advanced than he had anticipated...

Although he didn't know the details of Maha Wuliang's attack, he knew that it was neither Shang Qiuyu's skill nor the martial arts of Dongfang Jinghong and Huangfu Changkong.

By simply using the process of elimination, it became clear that it was made by Chu Qing.

Even the leader of the Heavenly Evil Cult would be defeated by this move.

With his martial arts skills, if Chu Qing were to use the same trick again, he would surely die.

But... that move was powerful and unparalleled. How much internal energy did Chu Qing have left after he used it?
Can he use it again now?
If not, wouldn't this person be at their weakest point?
With his cultivation level as a Martial Emperor, how could he possibly kill him?

A faint pain throbbed in my shoulder; it was the wound inflicted by the Nine Profound Divine Palm.

The Nine Profound Divine Skill is incredibly profound, and the Nine Profound Divine Palm is even more unreasonable, seemingly capable of reversing the order of heaven and earth, shattering rituals and music, and disrupting the natural order. The palm strike I received will not heal for a long time.

Dealing with a shepherd boy was no problem, but he really had no confidence in facing Chu Qing.

Now, listening to Chu Qing's question, Li Juechen pondered for a long time, then smiled slightly:
"So what?"

"Look at him!!"

The shepherd boy grabbed Chu Qing's sleeve while glaring angrily at Li Juechen.

It's like a bullied child who finds their parents and, with someone backing them up, starts to complain and accuse.

The actual situation is pretty much the same...

Before Chu Qing came here, the shepherd boy was in despair.

She had already made her plans. Once Chu Qing and the others finished their battle, she would immediately commit suicide, giving Li Juechen absolutely no chance.

But the moment she saw Chu Qing descend from the sky, all her despair turned into resentment.

She didn't even know why she felt so wronged...

In the world of martial arts, danger is inevitable.

Shepherd Girl never considered herself the kind of little woman who would cry and whine when faced with danger, even life-threatening situations.

She should have been strong enough... and she was prepared for anything that might happen.

But when Chu Qing appeared by her side, all that strength became insignificant.

Looking at the shepherd girl, Chu Qing couldn't help but feel a pang of tenderness and instinctively reached out to pat her head.
"Okay, it's alright, I'm here."

It was just a simple sentence, less than ten words, yet it instantly gave the shepherd boy boundless confidence.

She nodded firmly:
"Help me beat him up!!"

"it is good."

Chu Qing did not hesitate at all.

Although the battle with the leader of the Heavenly Evil Cult seemed dangerous, he actually escaped unscathed and even managed to take the life of the leader.

Although his internal strength is now less than 40%, he is probably no match for Li Juechen.

But as long as the opponent can't kill him, he will be able to recover to his peak condition quickly as the power of the opponent diminishes... At that time, Li Juechen will surely die.

He remembered that he had a mission related to Li Juechen, and was about to take it out to claim it.

Harvest a new wave of martial arts techniques.

But then Li Juechen smiled calmly:
"I do not wish to fight you today..."

"Farewell."

"Want to leave!?"

Chu Qing pointed his fingers like a sword and made a point.

Buzz!
The sharp sword energy intertwined with the Yin and Yang energies, which were like dragons, making them even more powerful.

Without a ripple, two fingers pierced through Li Juechen's brow.

But Chu Qing showed no joy. Sure enough, the figure vanished instantly, like a shadow, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Li Juechen used this martial art when he escaped from that broken peak platform.

Chu Qing was not entirely unfamiliar with this.

The assassin who suddenly appeared behind Song Chengdao in Xiahewan was probably using this martial art.

It is one of the five types of the "Five Ghosts Heavenly Corpse Order".

His form vanished into nothingness, appearing without a trace and disappearing without a trace.

Even with Chu Qing's cultivation level, it would be difficult for him to detect the other party's whereabouts.

Now that Li Juechen is using it personally, it is naturally even more unpredictable.

However, Chu Qing was not entirely unable to find any trace of the other party. Her eyes flickered, and she wanted to give chase, but after glancing at the shepherd boy, she stopped in her tracks.

Li Juechen will die eventually, and even if it's not today, he won't live much longer.

In comparison, the situation of the shepherd boy is more important.

"he's gone?"

The shepherd boy blinked.

Chu Qing stroked his chin:
"He probably won't leave unscathed... It's just that we couldn't keep him here completely."

His finger strike was not for nothing; if Li Juechen were to clash with him head-on, the outcome would be uncertain.

After all, Chu Qing's internal energy is now depleted, far less than before.

But since the other party wants to leave... they must have to pay some price.

Chu Qing is not someone to be trifled with; he is not someone who can come and go as he pleases.

"It's ok."

The shepherd boy didn't care:
"It's better that you're gone... Chu Qing, I... I can't stand up anymore... So many of my meridians are broken..."

Chu Qing immediately took her meridians, his face slightly gloomy.

"Is it 'A thousand yuan for one path, all transformations return to one'?"

He spoke softly.

The shepherd boy nodded:
"He lied to me and said my father was injured, so I lied to him and said I wanted to go with him to see him. When he turned around, I wanted to attack him from behind, but he had a layer of armor under his clothes."

"Moreover, this [Thousand Yuan One Path, Myriad Transformations Return to One] was also released silently... Before I could react, I was already blasted away."

"You've got guts."

Chu Qing was both amused and exasperated.

"What is your cultivation level? How dare you launch a sneak attack on the current Martial Emperor..."

"I'm already like this, can't you at least say something nice to comfort me?"

The shepherd boy glared at Chu Qing, puffing out his cheeks.
"Is this how you usually interact with Wu Qianhuan and Wenrou?"

Chu Qing thought about it carefully:
"They're not that stupid to put themselves in danger."

After saying this, the shepherd boy became even angrier:
"I didn't do it voluntarily, okay?"

"Then what are you doing here?"

Chu Qing asked:
"If you had stayed obediently in Wangshan Pavilion, Li Juechen wouldn't have come looking for you, would he?"

"I... I just wanted to go out for a walk to clear my head, is that not allowed?"

The shepherd girl's eyes flickered. She didn't want Chu Qing to know that she had come here to persuade her to let go.

She also wouldn't tell Chu Qing that she had regretted it when facing Li Juechen just now, in that life-or-death situation.

"Without even looking at where you are, you come here to relax."

Chu Qing muttered something, straightened his body, and positioned him in a five-pointed-up-the-skys position:

"Alright, that's enough. I'll heal your wounds."

"Will he come back?" the shepherd boy asked again amidst his busy schedule.

"He wouldn't dare..."

Chu Qing left behind these three words and slowly placed his palm on the shepherd boy's back.

……

……

Li Juechen would never admit that he was afraid to go back.

But Chu Qing was right; he had indeed paid a price for his eagerness to leave.

And the price... is still on the left arm.

His left arm was pierced by Chu Qing's finger.

Now my entire arm is completely unresponsive.

"Shang Qiuyu...and...Chu Qing!"

Li Juechen let out a soft breath, tapped his left shoulder a few times with his right hand, and frowned slightly.

Today's trip can be described as a major defeat.

His main goal in making this trip was actually Chu Qing.

He possessed the Mirror of Karma, and all the information within it was naturally readily available to him.

Chu Qing no longer concealed his identity; the disguises of Night Emperor and Third Young Master all crumbled, returning him to his original state.

From the moment he debuted, many things could no longer be hidden.

This is especially true for the Mirror of Misfortune.

Li Juechen knew that this rising prodigy was originally a rogue assassin from the Niejingtai.

He naturally understood that only one of them could survive—Chu Qing or him.

Rather than waiting for Chu Qing to fully develop his power before coming to cause trouble for him.

It would be better to strike first...

As it happened, Huangfu Changkong was interested, and the two of them discussed it and thus today's trip came about.

However, he did not expect that Chu Qing's martial arts skills had reached such a level.

Even though he hid in the shadows and launched a sudden sneak attack, he still couldn't kill him...

Meeting the shepherd boy was an unexpected turn of events.

However, this trip has already offended Shang Qiuyu, and the shepherd boy can be used to control this person.

But he never expected that the leader of the Heavenly Evil Cult would also appear today.

It seems that Chu Qing actually won the battle against him?

This is absolutely unbelievable!

The reason he had to pay the price to escape from Chu Qing was not just because he was afraid of Chu Qing.

More importantly, he knew that Dongfang Jinghong, Shang Qiuyu, and Huangfu Changkong were all alive.

He was unaware that these three people had gone to hunt down the Heavenly Evil Cult Leader, who had fled naked... Instead, he felt that they would soon come looking for Chu Qing.

At that time, Chu Qing will be riding high on the momentum of his great victory, and even Huangfu Changkong will find it difficult to help him for the time being.

If they were to join forces, he would be doomed today.

With these thoughts running through his mind, Li Juechen felt that the price he paid was still worthwhile.

"However, with his current cultivation level... if he gives up this opportunity, it will be virtually impossible to kill him next time."

Li Juechen's brow furrowed.

After a long while, he took out a booklet from his pocket.

Looking at it with a conflicted expression... in the end, it seemed like she had made up her mind.

……

……

For others, the damage to the shepherd boy's meridians would take at least several months to heal.

However, with the help of the [Heavenly Extreme Formless Divine Power], Chu Qing's injuries had already recovered to about 70-80% in just half an hour.

Even her wrist, which had been broken in the shock, had recovered considerably.

Go back and rest for another half month, and you'll be fully recovered.

Chu Qing opened his eyes, his inner energy slowly receding. He raised his head slightly and heard three whooshing sounds.

Shang Qiuyu, Dongfang Jinghong, and Huangfu Changkong appeared before them.

The slight smile that lingered in Shang Qiuyu's eyes vanished the moment she saw the shepherd boy:
"Tong'er! What happened? What's wrong with you?"

"Father...I'm alright."

The shepherd boy glanced at Shang Qiuyu and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth:

"I just had a fight with Li Juechen and suffered some minor injuries."

"..."

Chu Qing's lips twitched. You really dare to say that.

"That's unreasonable!"

Shang Qiuyu flew into a rage:
"That old bastard Li Juechen actually dared to fight with my daughter?"

"Daughter, don't worry, your father will definitely not let him get away with this!"

Chu Qing was stunned. "You really believe that?"

Li Juechen's martial arts skills are nothing special. If he were to seriously fight the shepherd boy, the shepherd boy would have been reduced to ashes long ago.

He coughed.
"What happened to the cult leader that day?"

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Jinghong sighed:

"We didn't catch up..."

Chu Qing nodded; this was something he had expected.

Although the Heavenly Evil Cult Leader, who had been resurrected, stayed here for a very short time, Chu Qing saw an unprecedented fear in his eyes at that moment.

To be honest, it was a look in Chu Qing's eyes that she had never seen before.

He seemed quite frightened...

He didn't use his martial arts skills to seek revenge; he only wanted to escape from here.

With his cultivation level, if he is determined to leave, who can catch up with him?

So Chu Qing didn't stop Dongfang Jinghong and the others from chasing after them... It was a good opportunity to test their strength.

Now it seems that this dignified leader of the Heavenly Evil Cult has been scared out of his wits?
Chu Qing looked up at Huangfu Changkong:
"You only said half of what you were saying before. Who exactly told you that I killed your son?"

"..."

Huangfu Changkong glanced at Chu Qing silently, then shook his head.
"If it weren't for you, we would all be in grave danger today."

"I will not avenge that child today... but do not think that this matter is over."

“One day, I will take your head to comfort my son’s spirit in heaven.”

"...If your son were really in heaven, he would make you so angry that he would fly down from the sky and give you two big slaps."

Chu Qing helped the shepherd boy up:
"Come with me. I don't know who you've been instigated by."

"But... whether it's your own child or not, you should be able to tell by looking with your own eyes."

With that, he took a step and headed towards the Wangshan Pavilion.

Shang Qiuyu followed closely behind.

Dongfang Jinghong patted Huangfu Changkong on the shoulder:

"Hearing is believing, seeing is believing. In this world, there are too many things that are hard to distinguish between truth and falsehood."

"It's not as straightforward and decisive as the three-foot-long sword in your hand."

Huangfu Changkong glanced at him:
"Do you think I should believe him?"

"With his martial arts skills, would he need to lie to you?"
