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

Chapter 558: Stop fighting with force
[The commission is complete!]

[Successfully assassinated Sword Emperor Jian Jiu and obtained a Crimson Treasure Chest.]

Chu Qing pondered the word 'assassination' in the system prompt for a long time, but ultimately decided that as long as the system was happy, that was all that mattered.

Looking at Jian Jiu, who was already lying on the ground, lifeless, Chu Qing turned her head and glanced at Huangfu Changkong:
"Does your Huangfu family's [Heavenly Will Sword Technique] contain any secret methods for bringing the dead back to life?"

Huangfu Changkong ignored him... to be precise, he didn't hear what Chu Qing was saying at all.

Because Jian Jiu is dead.

Chu Qing simply raised his hand, and Jian Jiu died!

This sounds simple, but the problem is, it's Sword Nine!
Although he stole his martial arts skills, identity, and everything else.

The problem is, this level of cultivation is real.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to live so freely with his face intact until now.

The results of it?
This person's extraordinary cultivation level is no match for Chu Qing's mere wave of the hand?

What kind of throwing knife was that?

It lacks the terrifying power to blot out the sky, but possesses the most unpredictable trajectory and unimaginable sharpness.

A protective aura that can easily tear apart anything, capable of annihilating any expert in the world?
Huangfu Changkong finally understood why Mo Duxing held Chu Qing in such high regard.

Who wouldn't admire someone like that?
Not to mention that Huangfu Changkong was so horrified that he couldn't care less about Chu Qing speaking to him.

Even Dao Emperor Xuan Song only felt pain in his eyes at this moment.

It seems that Chu Qing's slightly gleaming slash just now not only took Jian Jiu's life, but also injured his eyes.

Chu Qing's prowess was already demonstrated in the news that Dongfang Jinghong brought back not long ago.

What about the leader of the Heavenly Evil Cult?

Despite numerous battles between the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, they were never able to gain the upper hand. Instead, their opponents grew stronger with each encounter, plunging the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors into deep despair.

The results of it?
With a single, immeasurable blow, the leader of the Heavenly Evil Cult was killed instantly.

Although he was resurrected using a secret technique, he dared not fight Chu Qing a second time...

There's actually a question here: can Chu Qing kill the Heavenly Evil Cult Leader a second time?
The Heavenly Evil Cult Leader hadn't considered this problem because he dared not think about it, dared not take the risk; he was terrified.

But one can imagine the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.

Although this is not actually important.

The news that the leader of the Heavenly Evil Cult had been defeated and fled from Yue Song Mountain naked was something they were happy to hear.

But now, Xuan Song suddenly felt that even if the Heavenly Evil Cult Leader still had the courage to stand in front of Chu Qing... he would probably only face death.

Such a throwing knife... such a method.

Perhaps it's not something that should exist in the human world at all.

Because this simply cannot be explained by common sense!

After a long while, Xuan Song finally let out a long breath and looked up at Dongfang Jinghong not far away.

After Xuan Song agreed to Chu Qing's request, Luo Kongming, the King of Fighters, left in a huff.

Of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, besides Chu Qing and Huangfu Changkong, there are only these two left.

So the two of them subconsciously looked at each other and saw the light in each other's eyes.

That wasn't fear, but hope!

This time, they made the right bet.

Let alone whether one Chu Qing can be compared to two Sword Ninth... even ten or a hundred Sword Ninths would be hard to compare with Chu Qing!

No wonder the Heavenly Evil Cult Leader was so terrified of Chu Qing that he ran away naked...

All of this has a perfect explanation.

"Cough cough."

Chu Qing's cough reached the ears of everyone present. In order to get their attention, he used a little bit of his internal energy.

Everyone snapped out of their daze and looked at Chu Qing at the same time.

Chu Qing simply looked at Huangfu Changkong and asked the same question once again:

"Does your family's martial arts have the ability to bring the dead back to life?"

Huangfu Changkong shook his head repeatedly:

"No……"

"That's good, he must really be dead."

Chu Qing nodded upon hearing this, then pointed his fingers like a sword and swept them across the air.

The already dead Jian Jiu was instantly cut into six pieces:

"Have someone set up a fire and burn it."

"it is good!"

Huangfu Changkong nodded repeatedly, feeling that Chu Qing was standing up for him.

As for dealing with someone like Jian Jiu, reducing him to ashes is the most reasonable course of action.

He immediately gave the order, and disciples of the Sword Emperor's Mansion stepped forward.

They had already heard the whole story and naturally knew that the one who died was a fake Sword Emperor, and the one standing here now was the real Sword Emperor.

Chu Qing gave the order, and Huangfu Changkong agreed, so naturally they had to obey.

Chu Qing didn't look at the corpse again, but instead said to Xuan Song:
"A trip to Wanbaolou?"

After dealing with Jian Jiu, there's still Wan Gui Shan to worry about.

Chu Qing would naturally not forget the instigator.

Xuan Song nodded immediately without any hesitation:
"please."

"I will also go."

Dongfang Jinghong quickly followed.

The three of them set off immediately, leaving the Sword Emperor's Mansion and heading straight for the Myriad Treasures Pavilion.

They were just a step too late...

Although Wanbaolou was still open, there was no one inside.

The head manager has disappeared without a trace, and all the staff in the building are gone.

However, some have disappeared, and some have died.

Chu Qing and his group went inside and looked around, but found nothing... It wouldn't be fair to say they were disappointed, but they had expected it.

"Wan Guishan has been operating in the Five Emperors City for many years, and I'm afraid he has people in the Five Emperors' Palace."

"With the Sword Emperor's Mansion incident causing such a huge uproar, he must have received the news long ago and fled beforehand."

Chu Qing spoke while glancing at Xuan Song:
"Actually, I'm a little curious. Do you really not know about the World Alliance, or are you pretending not to know... the World Alliance?"

Dongfang Jinghong shook his head:

"I am truly unaware of this."

Xuan Song, however, did not give such a straightforward answer, but instead said:

"I didn't expect that..."

That's quite interesting, Chu Qing thought, pursing her lips.

"So you dare to tolerate evil?"

Xuan Song lowered his head silently, a hint of shame on his face.

Chu Qing didn't dwell on the issue; there was no need to be overly familiar with someone he didn't know well. He simply clasped his hands in a fist and palm salute.
"The matter here is settled. Please continue to look after Huangfu Changkong."

"Although he has returned, the title of Sword Emperor is no longer worthy of his name... Mo Duxing will probably need more time to grow stronger."

"Please give me some more time."

"With the Night Emperor's words, how could Xuan Song dare to disobey?"

Xuan Song was very accommodating and clasped his hands in greeting.

Chu Qing nodded, not lingering there or going to the Sword Emperor's Mansion... lest Mo Duxing actually bring him the [Heavenly Will Sword Manual].

He turned around, strode north, and vanished in the blink of an eye.

Xuan Song watched his retreating figure, and after a long while, he smiled wryly.
"He caused a huge scene in Five Emperors City, and then just walked away?"

"You still want to stop him?"

"...I'm actually a little hesitant."

Xuan Song gave a bitter smile:
"They say the Yangtze River's back waves push the front waves forward, but these back waves... are a bit too scary."

"So, what are your plans to do about the Huangfu family's affairs?"

Dongfang Jinghong asked.

"The words have already been spoken. How can I, the dignified Dao Emperor, go back on my word?"

Xuan Song turned and left Wanbaolou, saying as he walked:
"Investigate Wanbaolou thoroughly; even if it is demolished, not a single detail should be overlooked."

Dongfang Jinghong frowned: "What are you going to do?"

"Sword Emperor's Mansion".

Xuan Song wasn't lying; he really was going to the Sword Emperor's Mansion.

Putting everything else aside, he had to put Huangfu Changkong at ease.

Upon arriving here, before they could exchange more than a few words, the three of them learned that Chu Qing had already left the Five Emperors City.

Mo Duxing frowned slightly. Huangfu Changkong glanced at him and nodded gently.

"Go."

"He doesn't want it."

Mo Duxing understood Chu Qing's meaning; if he wanted to, he wouldn't have gone this way.

"Why should the Huangfu family care about what others think when it does things?"

“What you say, you must do... Even if he takes it and uses it to pee in the latrine or to prop up table legs, it has nothing to do with us.”

Huangfu Changkong taught Mo Duxing by example.

Xuan Song grinned as he listened... "You Huangfu family people are really something else."

The most crucial point was that Mo Duxing nodded repeatedly:

“That makes sense! In that case, I would like to take a step forward…”

He paused slightly at this point, then looked at Huangfu Yixiao.

"Big...brother?"

Huangfu Yixiao was a little embarrassed when he said those two words.

Mo Duxing gently patted his shoulder:

"I'm entrusting my father to you."

"Yes."

Huangfu Yixiao nodded quickly.

Mo Duxing said no more, took a step forward like a sword being drawn from its sheath, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

A slight glint flashed in Xuan Song's eyes, and he suddenly smiled:

"Sword Emperor... farewell."

"Will you sit for a while longer?"

Huangfu Changkong looked up at him.

"Since there is nothing else to do, I will not bother you any further."

"When your son returns home, don't forget... to rise to the top in one step!"

Xuan Song looked at him, his eyes full of smiles.

Huangfu Changkong sighed:
"He's still a bit lacking..."

"We can't worry about that now."

Xuan Song waved his hand, said no more, and disappeared in a flash.

Huangfu Yixiao looked completely bewildered.

Wasn't this guy supposed to be practicing martial arts under Cui Bu Nu of the Taiyi Sect?

Moreover, he didn't practice any martial arts, only swordsmanship... As a result, Cui Bu Nu didn't know swordsmanship, so his elder brother achieved nothing.
But how could he be considered unsuccessful in his studies?
“Your elder brother has possessed the Heavenly Will Sword Technique since childhood, how could he really be mediocre?”

"Yixiao, come and kneel down before your father."

Huangfu Changkong's voice came through.

Huangfu Yixiao was puzzled, but still knelt down... and then heard Huangfu Changkong say:
"What comes from my mouth goes into your ears."

Huangfu Yixiao felt a chill run down his spine and immediately nodded solemnly.

Then Huangfu Changkong spoke softly:
"Entering the true and constant way, one is neither born nor dies, neither comes nor goes, and remains eternally serene and perfectly enlightened in the quiet chamber."

"Responding to the heavens, and taking into account the causes of life and death, there are differences between the upper and lower realms. Depending on what one receives, one is then able to attain the Way..."

……

……

Mo Duxing chased Chu Qing all the way out of the Five Emperors City, but could not find any trace of him.

The journey to the Sword Emperor Palace took three days, but everything inside remained as usual.

When asked if Chu Qing from Jianwang 3 had been there, the answer was also negative.

However, he still recounted what had happened inside the Sword Emperor's Palace. Now that the situation was settled, there was no need to continue blocking the news, and all the disciples could move freely.

Jian San was naturally overjoyed, and the Sword Emperor Palace once again regained its original vitality.

Mo Duxing chased Chu Qing all the way out of Tongtian Ridge, but never caught up with him. So he headed west from Tongtian Ridge, intending to head straight for Nancheng.

But when he stepped into the Western Regions, he discovered that various cities were making unusual movements, and they all seemed to be heading towards the Southern City...

"Could it be that Chu San's departure from Xiangnan City has been discovered?"

Mo Duxing had a bad feeling and dared not delay any longer. However, no matter where he went along the way, he could not find any trace of Chu Qing, which made him feel increasingly uneasy.

……

……

Just as Mo Duxing was rushing towards Xiangnan City.

Inside the Five Emperors City, in a secluded and elegant building.

A man was drinking alone, and his face was not good, especially when he picked up his wine glass... A slight chill spread from his fingertips into the wine glass, making the wine in the glass even colder.

The knot in my heart felt even heavier.

After finishing his drink, he finally couldn't resist and slammed the glass onto the table.

"The Emperor's skill has surpassed that of the past, a cause for celebration."

A voice came from behind him, but Luo Kongming didn't even look up:
"Li Juechen, what is the matter that you summoned me here today?"

"Not for anything else... but for the Night Emperor."

Li Juechen sat down opposite Luo Kongming.

Luo Kongming's face darkened:
"How dare you mention this person before me? And who is he, the Night Emperor?"

"Although Luo Huang refused to admit it, in reality, a flying knife killed Jian Jiu, and a punch left Luo Huang still unable to completely expel the cold energy from his body."

"These two points alone make the title of Night Emperor truly deserved."

Li Juechen spoke slowly:
"It's hard to say whether the Heavenly Evil Cult's affairs will succeed without this person's help."

"...He doesn't even deserve it?"

Luo Kongming snorted, opened another wine glass, poured himself another cup, drank it down, and then looked up at Li Juechen:
"What do you want to say?"

"To be honest, I have a deep-seated grudge against this man."

"We need to plan ahead."

Li Juechen had already told the truth, seemingly certain that Luo Kongming would help him.

Unexpectedly, Luo Kongming's expression darkened:
"Whatever your grudges may be, don't even think about harming him in the slightest!!"

Li Juechen remained expressionless and chuckled softly:
"I believe that you have already formed a grudge."

"Personal grudges are insignificant compared to the grand scheme of things!"

Luo Kongming said coldly:
"His throne was won at the cost of the lives of Modo and Jianjiu."

"It is extremely secure. I advise you not to harbor any delusions! Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"What if I insist on his death?"

As Li Juechen spoke, he also poured himself a glass of wine.

"you dare!"

Luo Kongming suddenly stood up, his body surging with internal energy.

Li Juechen, however, paid no attention to this, and suddenly said:
"Do you know the name of the poison that Wan Guishan gave Jian Jiu to administer to Huangfu Changkong back then?"

Luo Kongming was taken aback:
"What do you mean?"

"This poison is called 'Stopping the War,' which means stopping war, and when combined with stealing the heavens..."

"Does Your Majesty think they complement each other?"

When Li Juechen looked up again, his eyes were filled with fierceness.

Luo Kongming's expression suddenly changed:
"you……"

……

……

At the same time, in the Northern Region, at the Great Wind Tower!
As her footsteps landed, Chu Qing slightly raised her head:
"Where is Bai Yitian? Show yourself...and face your death."
