System: I Can Open Martial Arts Chests

Chapter 391: Chapter 227: Aftermath

The vast Palm Force surged forward, even after passing Prince Xue, continuing to sweep onward.

Where it passed, giant trees blocking the way were shattered, and massive rocks exploded, as if nothing could withstand this endless Palm Force, until it finally dissipated after traversing several miles.

A vast dust cloud was stirred up on the ground.

Yet within the arena, where Prince Xue once stood, his figure had already vanished.

There was a pool of fresh blood on the ground, along with a pair of feet.

The skin was as crystalline as jade, yet it was connected to an extremely hideous wound.

The cut was not smooth, as it wasn’t severed but rather broken.

Chu Qing picked up his saber, intending to sheathe it, only to find that the blade was already beyond burdened, mottled and corroded beyond recognition.

A slight shake, and the blade shattered on its own.

"Another expense again..."

Chu Qing grumbled to himself; next time he encounters such a thankless task, it’s better not to do it.

After fighting for so long, nearly using all his strength, he ended up having to spend money on a new saber...

He walked slowly to where Prince Xue had just stood, but upon seeing the pair of legs on the ground, he frowned.

Judging by the situation, Prince Xue probably died from his palm strike.

And it was a terrible death... his body was torn to pieces, leaving only these legs.

But the blood on the ground made Chu Qing feel a bit uneasy.

"This looks like... Blood Shadow Illusion Body?"

Chu Qing furrowed his brows slightly. If this was the Blood Shadow Illusion Body, then these legs... could they have been left deliberately by Prince Xue, to create the illusion that he was killed by me?

Just a moment ago, Prince Xue couldn’t withstand my Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, so he left a pair of short legs and fled with Blood Shadow Illusion Body?

When Chu Yan used Blood Shadow Illusion Body, it couldn’t achieve long-distance teleportation, but this couldn’t serve as Chu Qing’s experience against the Blood Demon Scripture.

Because that was just an incomplete version of the Blood Demon Scripture.

Prince Xue’s techniques were a whole dimension more advanced than Chu Yan’s... they were simply not in the same world.

Measuring Prince Xue by Chu Yan would be underestimating this one of the Twelve Saint Kings.

"Can’t let this woman live..."

Chu Qing rubbed his chin; this woman’s martial arts were too high, and her methods were extremely cruel.

Judging by her stance, it seemed that her venture into the Martial World was specifically targeted at him.

If that’s truly the case, then all the more, he can’t let the tiger return to the mountain!

At this moment, the Jianghu people who were watching finally dared to approach, with the first to come forward being disciples of the Blazing Hall.

"May I ask which senior heroically eliminated the demon here?"

Chu Qing almost burst out laughing upon hearing this. The Blazing Hall indeed has many talents, each with a way with words.

Beitang Zun was discerning and prudent, and his subordinates knew the ropes well.

Now thinking about it, did Beitang Lie lean toward the Celestial Evil Cult because he was too discerning and prudent?

Fortunately, Beitang Zun still had concerns on his side.

Otherwise, the Blazing Hall would likely have ceased to exist by now?

Thinking this, Chu Qing casually took out the Flame Order.

The newcomer was startled and immediately knelt on one knee:

"Niu Kui, Vice Squad Leader of Qingyan Sub-Pavilion of Blazing Hall, pays respects to the Third Young Master!"

Being part of Blazing Hall, naturally, they would know that the one now holding the Flame Order wasn’t Beitang Zun, but rather this Mad Saber Young Master.

Thus, seeing the order made it clear who this person in front of them was, but it was particularly shocking.

The scale of this battle was truly grand, fighting over hundreds of miles; the ground shook and mountains trembled, almost as if the sky and earth would collapse.

In such circumstances, since one side was the Third Young Master, who was the other?

He spoke not just to be flattering.

After all, the martial arts displayed by the other person emitted a stench to the skies, and the blood aura was intense, clearly not of the Righteous Path.

Saying ’eliminate the demon’ was indeed natural.

He hesitated for a moment, unsure if he should ask.

Chu Qing, however, spoke directly before him:

"I unintentionally crossed paths with Prince Xue of the Celestial Evil Cult and thus engaged in a fight.

"Fortunately, I did not fail, and this demon was slain by my hand.

"Pardon for the disturbance to everyone."

Many Jianghu scattered people around drew a sharp breath upon hearing this.

Lately, the Celestial Evil Cult had become increasingly renowned across the world.

The Celestial Sect widely distributed Heroic Invitations, inviting heroes from all over to attend the South Ridge Martial Conference, and the matter had already caused a great stir.

The purpose was to discuss countering the Celestial Evil Cult!

Everyone knew that the battle that truly made Chu Qing famous in the Martial World, aside from slaying Ling Beichen, the top sword of Taiheng twenty years ago, was most importantly the rescue in Celestial Secret Valley, where he saved all the attendees from the Jianghu and beat one of the Twelve Saint Kings of the Celestial Evil Cult, Prince Mu, to death.

And it hadn’t been long since Prince Xue also fell in his hands.

The Celestial Evil Cult, sufficient to shake the Martial World, had two top masters defeated successively by this Mad Saber Young Master.

The name of the Mad Saber indeed lived up to its reputation.

For a moment, everyone admired him and wanted to come forward to say some flattering words, to become more familiar with Chu Qing.

But Chu Qing had no time to delay here; having gone out in the daylight, it was now midnight, and he hadn’t yet met with Qi Zhenhai as promised... there were no follow-up arrangements from the Shen Family either.

Most importantly, the reward obtained after killing Shen Juke had not been collected due to lack of time.

A whole day’s efforts were all delayed by Prince Xue.

So, after a few words with Niu Kui, he cupped his fists to the many Jianghu people present:
