System: I Can Open Martial Arts Chests

Chapter 457: Chapter 260: Ruthless

Chu Qing’s voice boomed like thunder, exploding around the entire inn in an instant.

And as soon as the words left his mouth, it seemed to resonate with everyone.

In an instant, the originally silent inn erupted into a frenzy.

"Exactly, in the middle of the night, instead of sleeping, they’re yelling non-stop. Where do they get all this energy and such powerful voices!?"

"An insult to decency, day and night, an insult to decency."

"Shouting during the day, shouting at night, shout again and I’ll smash your mouth!"

"Hurry up and quiet down, just go to sleep!!"

"Scum, shameless, disgraceful!"

Lan Shuyi was momentarily stunned, feeling that Chu Qing’s words had set off a huge wave.

Of course, the two individuals in the courtyard were too excessive.

All kinds of grievances had built up long ago, and Chu Qing was the last straw that broke the camel’s back.

Seeing Lan Shuyi still eagerly listening to what the other guests were saying, Chu Qing firmly pressed down on his shoulder:

"Stop listening, let’s go."

Lan Shuyi was taken aback, automatically being pulled away by Chu Qing towards the distance.

But at the same time, he could sense that two auras were constantly locked onto them, and Chu Qing’s lightweight technique was very skillful, something Lan Shuyi had a lot to say about over the past two days.

With him carrying such a burly, handsome man, he could still move like the wind, but now it was clear they had slowed down deliberately.

Obviously, it was to lure those two out...

After darting across roofs and vaulting city walls, they ran another seven or eight miles before Chu Qing released Lan Shuyi and began to breathe heavily.

Seeing this, Lan Shuyi suddenly realized and imitated, also starting to breathe heavily, though unfortunately, not a drop of sweat appeared on his forehead, so he simply used his energy to force it...

But then he thought, both he and Chu Qing were in black masks, and at this point, putting on a show would suffice to dispel the other party’s suspicions.

There seemed to be no need to disguise so intricately.

Then he heard Chu Qing say:

"I’ve long been displeased with those two. Cursing them and then running away, what a thrill!"

Lan Shuyi, being clever, understood immediately and burst into laughter:

"Exactly, those two disgraceful souls, always shouting, never stopping. Who knows where such filthy people came from, they need to be dealt with!"

"And it’s only because I’m kind-hearted and gentle, unwilling to harm even an ant on the ground, or a moth at a lampshade.

"Otherwise, I’d have beaten those two shameless souls to death!"

Listening to Chu Qing speak so boldly, without any trace of pretense, Lan Shuyi almost forgot to respond.

He thought to himself, you, so ruthless, almost got me killed in the Taiheng Sect.

Is this how you spare even the ants? So I’m not even as good as an ant?

In this slight pause, just as he was thinking of what to say, a voice sneered and broke in:

"Oh, I’d like to know how you plan to kill us!"

In a daze, the voice seemed to come from all directions, but looking up again, a man and a woman appeared, holding each other, in front of Chu Qing and Lan Shuyi.

The four of them looked at each other. The two newcomers had hoped to see a look of shock and panic on Chu Qing and Lan Shuyi’s faces but found not a trace of fear.

One of them touched his chin and said:

"This guy does look quite good."

The other nodded:

"No wonder some married women were seduced... By the way, have you heard about how good-looking Du Muqing is?"

"Poison Mistress... she should be decent, I guess? But she’s famous in the martial world for her poison, looks are secondary."

"This woman here is just average. If Du Muqing were prettier, I wonder what this guy is thinking?"

The two spoke back and forth, making the man and woman before them look livid and extremely unpleasant.

The woman was even more furious, putting her hands on her hips and cursing:

"That mess Du Muqing can compare to me? She doesn’t even match up to a strand of my hair!!"

Perhaps just getting out of bed, the woman’s face was still a bit flushed, and her voice was soft and coy as she cursed.

Chu Qing had the least fondness for this person.

Conspiring with a lover, causing her husband’s death, a face like a peach blossom, a heart like a snake’s fangs, this person embodied that saying.

"Why waste words with them, kill them, then we go back to continue where we left off. Remember, there’s still two secret techniques we haven’t demonstrated."

At this point, the man flicked his hand, and Wind-breaking Finger Force suddenly launched out.

Not very fast, but the finger force came from peculiar directions, suddenly left, then right, fluctuating up and down.

Lan Shuyi’s face changed, knowing just this one move confirmed he came along just to cheer Chu Qing on... he had no way to avoid this strike.

Being utterly clueless, he suddenly felt a force pushing him away.

Thankfully, it wasn’t pushing him towards the finger force but to the side.

Then he saw Chu Qing’s five fingers probing out, guiding along the flow, and directing the finger force away at the palm, Chu Qing used his inner strength to redirect it, instantly spinning and circling it, sending it back.

He returned it the way it came.

What he used was the rarely employed ’Flower Shifting and Jade Connecting’.

With Chu Qing’s inner strength enhancing it, the speed of the finger force returning was far faster than when it came.

In just a moment, it had already been shot into the man’s forehead.

Unexpectedly, as the force entered the body, the man only slightly swayed, then his face darkened:

"An expert!?"

Chu Qing was bewildered:

"What’s your deal with this finger?"

"Somewhat skilled, but so curious on the brink of death..."

The man sneered, reaching out to hold the woman’s hand:
