Chapter 494 Choice
Chapter 494 Choice
“It’s just a choice.”
The rotten voice of the Tomb Prince always seemed to bring ominous news to people. He said silently:
“Everyone will face countless choices in their life.
"Different choices will lead to different futures, and this may be a turning point that you will never forget.
"Please think twice before you act, Third Young Master."
Just as the Tomb Prince finished speaking, before Chu Qing could react, Wu Qianhuan's hurried voice came to his ears:
"Don't take action!"
"Ok?"
Chu Qing was stunned:
"What do you mean, Qian Huan? Where are you?"
“I was fighting with the Tianxie Cult disciples outside… but I could hear what you said.
"Not just me, everyone can hear it!!"
Wu Qianhuan's voice was slightly anxious:
"He is forcing you to take action. If you really kill him and the Ghost Emperor dies tragically, then you will have killed the Ghost Emperor in front of everyone in the Southern Region!
“This move will not only greatly reduce your prestige as the leader of the Southern Territory, but will also make the other Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors enemies of you!
"Don't take it lightly!"
"But if we don't kill him...what should we do when the Ghost Emperor wakes up?"
A gentle voice was also heard, and there was a rare sense of anxiety in the voice.
"kill!!"
Liu Zhaonian said:
"If you don't make a decision when you should, you will suffer the consequences. Now we all know the situation.
"If one of you two has to give up one of them anyway, why can't the one to give up be the Ghost Emperor?
"Why should you be threatened by them? This is really unreasonable!!"
Tian Fengzi was also in the sound of nature, and hesitantly said:
"The Third Young Master has supernatural powers. Does he have any other tricks?"
After hearing what they said, Chu Qing realized what kind of trap the Tomb Prince had dug.
He looked around but didn't find anything that could help them transmit sound... He didn't know whether it was a secret treasure or some other mysterious mechanism in the tomb?
You can actually use this place as a radio station and broadcast to everyone.
If this incident had not happened today, even if Chu Qing killed the Tomb Prince and the Ghost Emperor at the same time, no one would know.
Chu Qing could have easily pushed the blame onto someone and said that he was a step too late and the Ghost Emperor was killed by the people from the Tianxie Cult.
No one can find trouble with him.
But now that everyone knows about it, there is no doubt that Chu Qing has been put in trouble.
Whether he chooses to kill or not, it will cause some problems.
If he chooses to kill, the other Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors might really turn against him, and people in the martial arts world might also say that he wanted to replace the Ghost Emperor, and that's why he took the opportunity to kill people. The four words "Leader of the Martial Arts World" would make people jealous, and Chu Qing also knew that... Such a good excuse, given to those who are not convinced, they will definitely cherish the opportunity.
But in the final analysis, this won't cause any trouble.
Although the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors are powerful, Chu Qing is not necessarily afraid of them today.
At worst, we can just fight!
And if he chooses not to kill, people will accuse him of being too soft-hearted.
If the Ghost Emperor really becomes a puppet as the Tomb Prince said and starts fighting against people in the martial arts world, then no matter how many people die today, all the blame will be on Chu Qing.
From this perspective, the former has a smaller impact.
"Alliance Leader!!"
Just as Chu Qingyu was thinking about it, a voice suddenly came from the iron gate above his head.
Without looking back, Chu Qing knew who was coming just by the voice.
Flowery Year!
I just heard the 'broadcast' and knew that the life and death of the Ghost Emperor now depended on Chu Qing's thoughts.
Hua Jinnian will definitely come.
Chu Qing looked up at her:
"You are the daughter of the Ghost Emperor. Do you think I should kill the Tomb Prince or wait a little longer?"
"kill!!"
Hua Jinnian is indeed the Ghost Emperor's good daughter. She is wearing a soft armor inside out. It is neither tight nor warm, but it is also very deadly:
"Everyone knows what my father, as the Ghost Emperor, represents to the martial arts world.
“He has now been victimized by a villain and trapped here, and even encountered the vicious hand of the [Heavenly Demon Control Heart Art].
“I believe that if he is conscious and able to speak, he will definitely not let you show mercy... You should eradicate all the evil!
"If he could exchange his life for two of the Twelve Holy Kings, he would surely rest in peace in his grave!"
These words were also heard by everyone. The war was not over yet and everyone was still fighting hard.
But after listening to Hua Jinnian's words, many people's expressions were extremely interesting.
Some people admired in their hearts, saying that she was worthy of being the daughter of the Ghost Emperor. Not everyone could have such thoughts. She was wholeheartedly working for the public, which was really admirable.
Some people were also shocked by Hua Jinnian's decisiveness. Facing her own father, she was like a great enemy. Otherwise, she would have to be entangled for a while. At least she could say these words while crying. Why did she sound not only not sad, but also quite happy? Was she afraid that Chu Qing would be slow to act?
Of course, some people doubt whether the identity of the Ghost Emperor's daughter is true or false?
However, there is not much doubt about this. After all, the Tomb Prince had previously appeared in the tomb in the form of an old zongzi and had personally revealed Hua Jinnian's identity.
Chu Qing was busy looking for the Tomb Prince's lair afterwards, but he didn't know that a lot of discussions had already started in the camp.
Hua Jinnian even lifted the [Change of the Universe] and returned to her female body.
There were also people who secretly spread rumors to the two of them, saying that the reason why Chu Qing mobilized so many troops and summoned masters from the Southern Region to rescue the Ghost Emperor was seemingly for the sake of justice in the martial arts world, but in fact it was to rescue his father-in-law.
This is what it is, this is what it is… Although they are all groundless, people never get tired of spreading this kind of gossip. Who cares whether it is true or false?
Thanks to this, only a few people doubted Hua Jinnian's identity.
Although no one can communicate now, and the opponent is extremely vicious and may lose his life if he is not careful, but... while concentrating, he is also paying attention to see how Chu Qing decides! ?
Then they heard Chu Qing say:
"But the Ghost Emperor has made contributions to the martial arts world after all. The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors are high above us. Whether it's martial arts or morality, they are all admirable...
“As a demon from the Heavenly Evil Cult, it is hard to tell whether what the Tomb Prince said is true or false.
"If I act rashly like this and really kill Senior Ghost Emperor... then wouldn't I be blamed for my death?"
As soon as these words were spoken, many people who were purely righteous in the martial arts world nodded secretly in their hearts.
At this critical moment, the leader was still able to stick to the morality in his heart and not kill people blindly. He is worthy of being the leader of the Southern Region's martial arts world!
Hua Jinnian sighed and said:
“But now that things have come to this, if what this traitor said is true, and my father wakes up and becomes a running dog of the Tianxie Cult… then… wouldn’t his brilliant life be ruined in an instant?
"In old age, he ended up with a disgraced reputation... How sad is that?
“I am even more afraid of hurting my fellow martial artists, which would be an even greater sin!
"It would be fine if he remained in a daze, but if he were to wake up one day and regain his sanity, how would he face those heroes?"
Makes sense! ! !
Immediately, some people agreed with Hua Jinnian's statement.
People have the same heart and the same reason. Many people hang around in the rivers and lakes for fame and fortune. Some people are cautious in their words and deeds all their lives, just because they don't want their reputation to be damaged. The Ghost Emperor is famous in the world. If he ends up with a lifelong reputation lost in his later years, it would be better for him to die!
If you extend your thoughts to others, it is nothing more than the same.
After this conversation, the one with the ugliest expression was neither Chu Qing nor Hua Jinnian, but the Tomb Prince.
At this moment, whether Chu Qing kills someone or not, he has enough reasons and can gain enough understanding.
If we put ourselves in their shoes, who can deny any decision Chu Qing might make now?
There was only one thing that made the Tomb Prince feel relieved... that was that what he did was an open conspiracy.
No matter what choice Chu Qing makes, the world is destined to lose a top master.
He slowly looked at Chu Qing:
"You two, stop talking nonsense. Whether to kill or not can be decided with just one thought!"
Hua Jinnian said without hesitation:
"kill!!"
Chu Qing did not speak immediately. He hesitated for a moment before asking:
"Lord Tomb, you and I are old acquaintances. I want to ask you, how long will it take for your so-called [Heavenly Demon Control Heart Art] to be effective?"
"Ok?"
The Tomb Prince slowly spoke:
"It will take at most one stick of incense."
Chu Qing glanced at the chess prince and sneered:
"Really? It's still okay for you, but I'm afraid that Prince Qi can't hold on."
"Hmph! That'll take a cup of tea."
The Tomb Prince gritted his teeth.
"Okay, I'll wait for you for a cup of tea.
“This is the time I leave for Senior Ghost Emperor. If you still have some obsessions in your heart and still have some rationality left, please fight back and don’t let him succeed so easily.
"Wait for a cup of tea. If he fails to accomplish his goal, I will kill him. If this causes you to die tragically, please do not blame me.
“But if you can hear what I say, then this must be what you wish for.”
Chu Qing said in a deep voice:
“On the contrary, if Senior really becomes a puppet after this cup of tea, then I will definitely fight hard to prevent Senior from getting into trouble.
“All the masters in the Jianghu of the Southern Region respect me as their leader.
"If this is really impossible, as the leader of the alliance, I will definitely die in front of all my fellow martial artists!!"
When he said this, he suddenly raised his head, clasped his hands together, and with a dragon's roar, he suddenly sent out.
At this moment, a figure covered in black fell from the sky, with a blazing black flame in his palm, smashing down with a loud bang.
The two palms suddenly touched each other, and black flames and dragon-shaped energy instantly spread in all directions.
At the same time, countless sword energies rose from Chu Qing's body, stabbing at the figure continuously and endlessly.
The man let out a muffled groan, followed by a "wow" sound and spurting out a large mouthful of blood. Not only was he knocked back by the blow, but his entire body was pierced by sword energy, leaving it riddled with holes.
Bang bang bang, bang bang bang!
The rock wall above his head cracked, boulders broke apart, and dirt flew everywhere. The man broke through the mountain with all his might and was knocked straight into the sky.
If you look from a high place and far away, you can see the man breaking through the soil and flying into the sky. A huge dragon-shaped shadow rushes up and swallows him up in an instant.
At the same time, Chu Qing spoke in his mind:
"Please, Lord Shan, commit suicide."
Upon hearing this, Prince Shan, who was walking between good and evil, slapped himself on the top of his head without thinking.
The blow caused his forehead to cave in and half of his head to be deflated, which showed how ruthless the attack was.
He fell down immediately, and a disciple of the Tianxie Cult standing beside him was dumbfounded...
He had seen Prince Shan wandering around before, as if he was looking for someone.
This man's martial arts skills were extremely high, and many disciples of the Tianxie Cult wanted to kill him, but he easily shook them off, and no one could touch his sleeves.
I thought it was a righteous master, looking for the princes here...
Unexpectedly, this man suddenly slapped him for no apparent reason, and he fell to the ground and died on the spot.
This... could this be some weird master who likes to run to the place where masters of good and evil fight each other and commit suicide?
Just when I was wondering what this guy's quirk was, I saw him stand up again, swaying with half of his head hanging down.
"This! Ghost!?"
This scene really frightened the cult disciples that day. Even though they had done all kinds of evil things, they were still afraid of ghosts and gods.
Half of his head was flattened, but he was still able to stand up. If this isn’t a ghost, then what could it be?
He turned around and ran, and in a panic, he didn't know where to go and directly broke into the sword formation of Tai Shang Jian Men. After only two or three rounds, he was strangled on the spot.
Prince Shan rubbed his head fiercely, and his bones made a slight crackling sound. After a moment, his head was restored to its original state:
"Young Master...didn't die."
"You're not close to cooperating?"
Chu Qing asked.
"Maybe I was a step late... But the moment I heard you speak, I shattered my own crown...
"If it's already too late, I can only say that the evil prince's martial arts are even better than I expected."
There was a hint of regret in Prince Shan's voice.
Chu Qing touched his chin and looked at the hole on his head:
"It doesn't matter, he will come back."
After saying this, he temporarily cut off the heavenly communication between him and Prince Heshan.
Liu Zhaonian just spoke at this time:
"Qing... Alliance Leader, why do you have to wait for a cup of tea? With the conversation just now, no matter how you perform, it is enough."
Chu Qing said softly:
"Just now, the Evil Prince attacked me and was injured by me. The Chess Prince and the Tomb Prince are trapped here together. I dare not leave for the time being, for fear of unexpected events.
“But in this way, they won’t have any top masters breaking into the battle formation. You all should be cautious and proceed step by step. If anything unexpected happens, you can call my name.
"I'll wait here for a while... I'll use this opportunity to verify something.
"For me, this is probably a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
Liu Zhaonian was stunned for a moment. Although he didn't understand what Chu Qing wanted to verify, he heard his steady voice and it seemed that everything was under control, so he didn't say anything more.
Only Hua Jinnian glanced at Chu Qing, and when their eyes met, they understood each other.
