Chapter 228 Funeral
Chapter 228 Funeral
The vast palm power was unstoppable, and after passing the Blood Prince, it continued to surge forward.
Wherever it passed, huge trees blocking the way were shattered with a loud bang, and huge rocks blocking the way exploded. It seemed that nothing could stop this infinite palm power, so that this power spread out and ran for several miles before dissipating into nothingness.
A vast cloud of dust was stirred up above the earth.
However, where the Blood Prince was originally located in the field, he was no longer there.
There was a pool of blood and a pair of feet on the ground.
The skin was as crystal clear as jade, but connected to an extremely hideous wound.
The cut is not smooth because it is not chopped off but broken.
Chu Qing picked up his knife and was about to sheath it, but he found that the knife had already been unable to bear the weight, the blade was mottled and rotten beyond recognition.
With a slight shock, the blade shattered.
"I've lost money again..."
Chu Qing muttered in his heart that next time he encountered such a thankless task, he would rather not do it.
After fighting for a long time, I almost used up all my strength, but in the end I still had to spend the money to buy a knife...
He walked slowly to where the Blood Prince had just been, but when he looked at the pair of legs on the ground, his brows furrowed.
Judging from the situation, the Blood Prince should have been killed by him with one palm.
And he died a miserable death...his whole body was torn into pieces, leaving only his legs.
But the blood on the ground was a bit annoying to Chu Qing.
"Is this like... a blood shadow phantom?"
Chu Qing frowned slightly. If this was a blood shadow phantom, then these legs... Could it be that the Blood Prince left them there on purpose to create the illusion that he was beaten to death by himself?
At that moment just now, the Blood Prince couldn't resist his Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, so he left behind a pair of short legs and escaped in a blood shadow body?
The Blood Shadow Illusion that Chu Yan used at that time could not dodge over long distances, but this could not become Chu Qing's experience in dealing with the [Blood Demon Sutra].
Because that is only an incomplete version of the [Blood Demon Scripture].
The Blood Prince's methods are a whole dimension more advanced than Chu Yan's... They are not in the same world at all.
If you judge Lord Blood by Chu Yan, you would be underestimating this Twelve Holy Kings.
"We can't let this woman live..."
Chu Qing touched his chin. This woman's martial arts skills were too high and her methods were extremely cruel.
Judging from her attitude, it seemed that this trip out to the arena was specifically for me.
If this is true, then we must not let the tiger go back to the mountains!
Just at this moment, the martial arts people who were watching nearby finally dared to come closer, and the first to come were the disciples of Liehuotang.
"May I ask which senior is here to slay the demon?"
Chu Qing almost laughed out loud when he heard this. The Fiery Hall was really full of talented people, and each of them was very good at talking.
Beitang Zun is knowledgeable and interesting, and the people under him are also well-organized.
Now think about it, was it because Beitang Lie was too knowledgeable and sensible that he turned to the Tianxie Cult?
Fortunately, Beitang Zun still had some concerns in his heart.
Otherwise, the Fiery Hall might really no longer exist, right?
Thinking this in his mind, Chu Qing casually took out the Fiery Order.
The visitor was startled and immediately knelt down on one knee:
"Niu Kui, deputy leader of the Qingyan branch of the Fiery Hall, greets the Third Young Master!"
As a member of the Fiery Hall, he naturally knew that the one who held the Fiery Order now was not Beitang Zun, but this Master Kuangdao.
Therefore, when he saw Ling, he knew who the person in front of him was, but he was extremely shocked.
The momentum of this battle was so huge that it stretched for hundreds of miles. Wherever it passed, the ground shook and it almost seemed as if the sky was collapsing and the earth was splitting apart.
In this situation, if one party is the Third Young Master, then who is the other party?
When he spoke just now, it wasn't just sweet talk.
After all, the martial arts displayed by the man opposite was so smelly and bloody that it was obvious at first glance that they were not righteous.
It is only natural to say "exorcise the devil".
For a moment, he hesitated, not knowing whether he should ask.
Chu Qing said directly before him:
"I accidentally met the Blood Prince of the Tianxie Cult, and we had a fight.
"Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission and killed this demon.
"I'm sorry to disturb you all."
Many of the wandering warriors around took a deep breath when they heard this.
The Tianxie Cult has become increasingly famous over the past period of time.
The news that Tianyi Sect had sent out invitations to heroes from all over the world to participate in the Nanling Martial Arts Competition had spread widely.
The purpose is to discuss how to fight against the Tianxie Cult!
Everyone knows that the battle that made Chu Qing truly famous in the martial arts world, apart from killing Bei Chen, the number one swordsman of Tai Heng twenty years ago, the most important one was in Tianji Valley, where he rescued all the martial arts people who attended the meeting, and beat to death the Tomb Prince, one of the Twelve Holy Kings of the Tianxie Cult.
Not long after that, the Blood Prince also died at his hands.
Two great masters of the Tianxie Cult, a sect that was powerful enough to shake the martial arts world, died one after another at the hands of this Crazy Knife Master.
The name of Crazy Blade is indeed well-deserved.
For a moment, everyone admired him and wanted to come forward to say a few flattering words to make themselves familiar to Chu Qing.
Chu Qing didn't have time to waste here. He went out during the day and it was already midnight. He hadn't gone yet to meet Qi Zhenhai as promised... There was no follow-up arrangement from the Shen family either.
The most important thing is that I have never had the time to claim the reward for killing Shen Juke.
The entire day's work was wasted on this Blood Prince.
After speaking to Niu Kui, he immediately clasped his fists with the other people present:
"Everyone, I have something important to attend to, so I can't stay here for long. I'll leave first and we'll meet again later."
Naturally, no one dared to stop him, but there were a few who could not wait and wanted to challenge him. However, before they could make up their minds, Chu Qing had already disappeared like a wisp of green smoke.
The fight between him and the Blood Prince lasted for over a hundred miles, and he walked directly from Fanjing City to the vicinity of Qingyan City.
This attracted the deputy leader of the Qingyan branch.
The distance of only a hundred miles was nothing to Chu Qing.
His feet were as fast as flying and his figure was as swift as smoke. He flew all the way and soon returned to Fanjing City.
He was busy tonight and had no time to go back to the inn, so he went to the City Lord's Mansion.
We agreed to come to see Qi Zhenhai later, and now it is really late.
So when Qi Zhenhai was called out of bed, he was in a bad mood.
It was not until he saw Chu Qing that all his bad tempers disappeared completely.
Kneel on one knee and clasp your hands together:
"Meet the young master."
Chu Qing waved his hand:
"Did the Shen family gain anything?"
"Yes, it's quite rewarding."
Qi Zhenhai immediately gave Chu Qing a detailed account of how much gold, silver, and banknotes were seized from the Shen family, as well as pearls, jade, agate, and various magical weapons. He told him everything.
Chu Qing frowned as he heard this: "Are there any other clues besides this? For example, clues about the Evil Mirror Platform?"
“There aren’t many things related to the Evil Mirror Platform. Shen Juke is not an expert on the Evil Slaying List, so the information he knows is quite limited.
"We only know that he has a contact named 'Heizi', but we don't know where he is."
"Kuroko?"
Chu Qing was slightly stunned, and suddenly thought of his original contact.
His name is Baiqi...
Now there is another black spot?
There shouldn't be any connection between these two people, right?
However, Nie Jingtai has always been careful in doing things and will not easily reveal his tracks.
It was not known whether the name Heizi was an oversight by Shen Juke or was left there intentionally for emergency use, but Chu Qing knew about it anyway.
But most of the content they communicated with each other was burned after reading.
"Also, regarding Ye Feifan..."
Qi Zhenhai glanced at Chu Qing, came to the desk, took out all the information about Ye Feifan, and handed it to Chu Qing.
Chu Qing took a look and knew that this person was picked up from the street by the Chen family fifteen years ago.
When he was picked up, he was dying.
After several months of nursing in the mansion, he finally recovered. The Chen family felt sorry for him and kept him at home as a servant.
He is also a man with a good figure, and is very much liked by the Chen family...
If it weren't for what happened ten years ago, maybe in a few years, I could have transformed myself into a housekeeper or something.
You will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life.
Later, the Chen family was destroyed, and he helped Shen Juke to give false testimony, and was then accepted as a disciple by Shen Juke.
In order to gain Shen Juke's trust, he also did some things against those who gave false testimony back then...
For example, the reason why the rumor about the manager Buzhuang taking two hundred taels of silver from Mr. Chen was because of his doing.
What is the specific reason? Now I think Shen Juke wants to erase all the points that are unfavorable to him... The shopkeeper is a smart man. After realizing something is wrong, he immediately ran away. But to Shen Juke, this is an unstable bomb that may stab him in the back at any time.
We must catch him and beat him to death.
It was just that the chief shopkeeper took the initiative and came to Liehuotang with Chen Sheng to sue Shen Juke.
Shen Juke inexplicably lost the initiative... In the end, it was Ye Feifan who made an effort to deceive Chen Sheng and frame Chen Sheng and the chief manager, which led to the matter being left unresolved.
At this point, Chen Sheng became depressed, as he could not avenge his family's massacre, nor could he win back his beloved. In the end, he died in depression.
It can be said that Ye Feifan played a great role in Chen Sheng’s death.
Of course, in this regard, Chen Sheng is not a useful person...
After all, he was just the eldest son of a merchant family. How could he defeat a veteran like Shen Juke? He never expected that people's minds would change. The servant who once lived for the Chen family ended up stabbing him the most cruelly.
He was just an ordinary person with some talent in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. The love between him and Liu Sanniang was not that grand.
Faced with the injustice of this world and the underworld, there is only so much that ordinary people like them can do.
If Liu Sanniang had not met the Blood Prince by chance, this matter would not have led to its current ending.
Her greatest courage was that she was willing to follow Shen Juke in order to save Chen Sheng ten years ago, and she left the Shen family at the risk of her own life ten years later.
The most ironic thing about this matter is that... Shen Juke, who hurt her the most, actually had real feelings for her.
It's just that Ye Feifan did not mention these things to Chu Qing that night.
Ever since he was rescued by Chu Qing, he had been acting with Chu Qing out of habit, mixing truth and falsehood in his words, thinking that Chu Qing couldn't see through it, but he didn't know that Chu Qing saw through everything.
All they want is a tool...who can be used to expose Shen Juke.
If we hadn't painted a rosy picture for him and given him hope that was as illusory as flowers in the mirror or the moon in the water, given his cunningness, it would be hard to know what the final outcome would have been.
They are all cunning with each other, and they will naturally throw it aside after using it.
Chu Qing himself does not have such high moral standards, and now after reading the information brought by Qi Zhenhai, he no longer thinks that there is anything pitiful about this person.
Qi Zhenhai was able to investigate so clearly thanks to Ye Feifan.
He and Shen Juke were in control of each other, and these were all useful things. The reason why he volunteered to deal with the chief manager and Chen Sheng was not only to express his loyalty, but also for his own sake... If Chu Qing had not pretended to be the so-called "senior" at the time, Ye Feifan would have had to hide his own fox tail and would not dare to say these things out loud.
When the real life-and-death crisis comes, these will be the chips he uses to save his own life.
In the end, they all fell into Qi Zhenhai's hands.
"He is not dead. He was found in the ruins. However, his meridians were broken in the aftermath of the fight between the two masters, and his legs were crushed by boulders...
"Now he's been rescued, but I'm afraid the future will be ..."
Qi Zhenhai said this and looked at Chu Qing cautiously.
After all, this person was brought here by Chu Qing, and ended up like this, so Chu Qing has to give him some rules.
Chu Qing waved his hand:
"It's not important, just do whatever you want."
"Yes."
Qi Zhenhai breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, knowing that this person was insignificant to Chu Qing, so it didn't matter.
Then he took out another box.
He handed it to Chu Qing with both hands.
Chu Qing opened it and was stunned:
"【Heaven and Earth Shocking Storm Art】?"
"It was found in the secret compartment of Shen Juke's study. It was Shen Juke's martial arts."
Qi Zhenhai said.
He really wanted to keep this thing for himself. After all, the Tiandi Jinglan Sword was extremely powerful and was truly a unique skill.
But he didn't dare to disobey in front of Chu Qing.
Chu Qing looked at the secret book and fell into deep thought.
After a while, he closed the lid and handed it to Qi Zhenhai:
"Give this secret book to Li Hanguang...
"He and Shen Juke have been friends for many years. He is a free and open person. When I gave him this secret book, I told him to find a suitable successor, so that the secret book would not be lost or passed down to the wrong person."
Chu Qing didn't want to learn this kind of martial arts that required practicing from scratch.
Li Hanguang is a good person. He is willing to become an enemy of Nie Jingtai just for Cao Qiupu, a person he has only met once.
Such a free and easy man will definitely be able to find a truly suitable successor for Shen Juke.
It's better than those ugly things that Shen Juke collected himself, which were either vicious, cunning, or cruel and ruthless.
Speaking of Shen Juke... He has built up the reputation of the hero Jinglan over the years. Apart from the bad thing he did ten years ago, which forced him to do a lot of bad things again, overall, he has done a lot of things in the world of martial arts to fight demons and defend justice, and to see justice and injustice.
If it weren't for what happened ten years ago, he would indeed be a hero worthy of admiration.
How come his eyesight is so bad? None of the disciples he taught have become useful.
