Chapter 429: Chapter 246: Nothing More Than That
Lingjue had a head full of questions.
He glanced at Chu Qing, who was standing not far away, with eyes glaring at him, then looked over at Guan Changying.
The question marks in his mind turned into tiny flies, buzzing incessantly in his head.
He couldn’t help but turn back to look at his mentor.
As if looking at his guiding light...
Yet little did he know, his mentor’s mind was also buzzing just as much at this moment.
But at least he had eaten vegetarian meals for a few more years and recited more scriptures.
His cultivation was far beyond what a young monk like Lingjue could compare to, and he immediately spoke in a deep voice:
"The Third Young Master is joking, this little disciple of mine, how can he be the match of the Third Young Master.
"Moreover, today my disciple wants to seek a spar with a master from Taiheng Sect..."
"Just a sparring match, with moderation, Master Lingjue shouldn’t be worried about injuries, right?"
Lingjue found these words all too familiar, the boomerang eventually returned to him.
Then he heard Chu Qing say:
"As for Taiheng Sect’s Martial Arts, I happen to have some understanding myself.
"It’s well-known that previously at Luochun Manor, I was entrusted by Ling Beichen to learn the Sword Intent of the Seven Extremes Seven Transitions Seven Injuries Sword.
"So far, no one from Taiheng Sect has mastered this skill... I think it might be more enlightening than other skills, today I will use this Sword Technique to spar with Master Lingjue, and I humbly ask for guidance from Master Lingjue.
"I also wish to witness the Secret Technique of Vajra Sect!"
Earlier Guan Changying sent the Injury Concealment, not appropriate to leave in the room, and now he conveniently carried it with him.
Chu Qing casually drew the sword, the sharpness turned, chilling to behold, making everyone present gasp in shock.
"Nice sword!"
Someone couldn’t help but say in a low voice.
"The sword named Injury Concealment was originally the sword of Ling Beichen.
"Now it is given to me... I ask Master Lingjue to act, don’t let this precious sword go unused!"
Chu Qing bowed with the sword in hand, his gaze deep.
Lingjue really wanted to turn and run... only a fool would fight Chu Qing.
This man not only is hard to find a match among his peers, even among the older generation, few could gain advantage before him.
Not to mention himself, even if his mentor personally took action, he’d likely meet with ruin.
Now this person clearly wants to crush him, and by saying don’t let the sword go unused... what this means is that today this sword must see blood?
Therefore, not only did he not act, but he even retreated two steps backward.
Chu Qing slightly frowned:
"You are the one who spoke of sparring, and now you don’t act... what exactly do you intend to do?
"If you still don’t act, then I will make a move!"
"It was the fault of this little monk!"
Seeing that Chu Qing really intended to act, Lingjue immediately said:
"This little monk shouldn’t have provoked Brother Guan at such a moment, please, Third Young Master, don’t take offense with this little monk!"
With these words, the expressions on the faces of everyone present turned peculiar.
Vajra Sect came aggressively and challenged Guan Changying before Taiheng Sect, clearly wanting to slap faces...
But now they back down.
Actually, facing Chu Qing alone, backing down would somewhat be understandable.
The young disciples from the Three Halls, Five Gates, and One Manor, facing Chu Qing, retreating is quite reasonable and justified.
But the problem is, earlier, facing Guan Changying, he was aggressive, yet now his attitude has changed, leaving others to ridicule.
And after saying this, the first to speak was not Chu Qing, but Enlightenment:
"Since Lingjue already knows his mistake, I ask the Third Young Master not to be offended with the younger ones."
Chu Qing chuckled:
"The younger ones? So, it seems I can now engage with the Enlightenment Abbot as peers?"
"With the Third Young Master’s Martial Arts mastery, engaging as peers would be my great fortune."
Enlightenment’s words had a cool tone, containing a flavor of resigned acceptance.
Chu Qing pondered for a moment and said:
"However, I really wish to witness the Secret Technique of Vajra Sect...
"Oh right, how about this, I have a friend by my side, who possesses remarkable swordsmanship, Since my seniority is too high, confronting Master Lingjue, and Enlightenment Abbot says I’m bullying the younger ones, then if I let my friend take action, that’s acceptable, isn’t it?"
Hua Jinnian was eager to try.
Enlightenment was a bit stunned:
"Who is this friend of yours?"
Chu Qing handed the Injury Concealment to Wu Qianhuan.
Hua Jinnian rolled his eyes dramatically, secretly stepped back, while glancing around, afraid to be seen eagerly trying earlier.
Wu Qianhuan was dumbfounded, couldn’t help but look at Chu Qing.
Chu Qing laughed and said:
"No need to hold back, just beat him up."
Lingjue saw Chu Qing hand the Injury Concealment to an unknown woman, his courage instantly multiplied:
"Since that’s how it is, I ask the lady to act."
Wu Qianhuan thought for a moment, although uncertain why Chu Qing let her act, she didn’t hesitate.
Casually taking the Injury Concealment, she immediately smiled:
"Careful now."
"You go ahead and..."
Lingjue flicked his sleeves, but before he could finish, behind Wu Qianhuan already rose a full moon.
A dazzling full moon in broad daylight!
Countless sharp glints burst forth from this full moon...
Unfinished words quickly turned into a gasp of surprise.
Lingjue’s steps shifted, only to hear a commanding shout, a golden light enveloped him from head to toe.
Vaguely visible was a silhouette of Arhat, covering Lingjue three inches around, enveloping him within.
[Immovable Vajra]!
This indeed is a Protective Divine Skill of Vajra Sect.
Lingjue being able to cultivate [Immovable Vajra] to such an extent at his age, can already be called a prodigy.
However, facing Wu Qianhuan’s [Moonlight as a Sword], he had no confidence at all.
