System: I Can Open Martial Arts Chests-Chapter 58: Profound Nether? Qīng Yè!

The two figures briefly clashed before each retreated a step.

In Chu Qing’s eyes, a purple glimmer flashed and vanished as he glanced at Wu Qianhuan:

"Miss Wu, are you unharmed?"

"...If you had come a moment later, it might have been dangerous."

Wu Qianhuan frowned slightly:

"Why didn’t you strike secretly and kill him with a single sword?"

She had witnessed Chu Qing’s fast sword; although Zhong Liuzhu was indeed extraordinary, it was uncertain whether he could withstand Chu Qing’s sword.

Chu Qing released his grip on her hand:

"Because there are some questions I wish to ask him."

"What audacity to act so presumptuously in front of me, the Vice Valley Master of the Valley of Myriad Nights!"

Wu Da snorted coldly, stepping forward to make a move.

Wu Qianhuan’s eyes turned cold; she had just forced Wu Da to retreat with one sword and killed Wu Er. If not for Wu Qingshan, these two weren’t even worthy to carry her shoes.

Now they dared to be arrogant...

But before she could react, a sword had already pierced through Wu Da’s throat.

Among those present, no one saw clearly when Chu Qing drew his sword!

Wu Qingshan’s gaze was grave, and when he looked at the sword in Chu Qing’s hand, his pupils suddenly contracted.

Wu Qianhuan did not notice the change in Wu Qingshan’s expression, only felt that Chu Qing’s sword technique seemed even faster than before.

When he killed Xin Youhen, he was indeed unmatched with a fast sword.

But it wasn’t without any trace...

Now, however, his sword was so fast it seemed he didn’t need to draw it; he could make it appear wherever he wanted.

Wu Qianhuan couldn’t believe one could progress so quickly... she only thought Chu Qing had been concealing his skills before.

At this moment, Chu Qing said to her:

"Does this person count as your kill or mine?"

Strictly speaking, Wu Qianhuan had already severely injured this person, and he merely claimed the final strike.

"..."

Wu Qianhuan was speechless for a moment; at such a time, he was still concerned about this?

Was this guy really that fixated on money?

With a gloomy face, she could only say:

"Alright, let’s say you killed him!"

Chu Qing nodded contentedly.

The progress on the task interface increased slightly, and there was now an additional finger technique in the selection treasure chest.

In other words, the more kills, the broader the selection range becomes.

Fists, feet, swords, fingers, axes, hooks, all kinds of techniques were available... If he could obtain another inner power, that would be ideal.

After all, refreshing inner power relied on luck, it wasn’t certain how many commissions had to be completed before one could refresh it.

Right as he thought of this, he heard Wu Qingshan shout angrily:

"You commit murder in front of me, how audacious!!!"

With that, he took a step forward and directly reached out to snatch the Profound Nether Sword from Chu Qing’s hand.

Chu Qing laughed, pulling Wu Qianhuan back a step, dodging the grab while saying:

"The dignified Vice Valley Master of the Valley of Myriad Nights uses his advantage against the young Miss of Celestial Dance City, not only bullying the small with the large but also many against one.

"Now irrespective of seniority, attacking stealthily.

"I’d suggest you cover your face, or I’m afraid I’d feel embarrassed for you."

"Dare you speak such nonsense before me, hiding unnamed!?"

Wu Qingshan spoke coldly:

"State your name, I do not kill those without a name."

Chu Qing was about to reply when Wu Qianhuan spoke:

"Let Vice Valley Master Wu know that this is the rising Night Emperor."

After speaking, she nodded at Chu Qing.

Chu Qing’s mouth twitched, thinking thank you very much, having you is my blessing!

Once I leave Celestial Dance City, I’ll definitely change my title!

But... what to call it?

Sword Emperor?

No, no, now Night Emperor, then Sword Emperor... it’s quite taboo.

Moreover, this wasn’t the time to be thinking about these matters; at the moment, Wu Qingshan’s face revealed a trace of a different color:

"So it was you...

"The Seven Thieves of Iron Horse died at your hands, no wonder you are so arrogant.

"However, to me, weren’t they also nothing more than chickens and dogs?

"Just this alone isn’t enough to be arrogant before me!"

With those words, he made to strike again.

But Chu Qing extended his hand:

"Hold on!" 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

"Do you have any last words?"

Wu Qingshan frowned slightly.

Chu Qing shook his head:

"If you attack, you will surely die.

"Therefore, before that, I have something I want to ask you..."

Before Wu Qingshan could respond, he gently hinted at the sword in his hand:

"You came to Celestial Dance City for this, right?"

Hearing Chu Qing say this, Wu Qianhuan couldn’t help but also turn to look at Wu Qingshan.

As Chu Qing had previously thought, after Wu Qianhuan heard the words brought by the Celestial Dance Guard, she naturally investigated this treasured sword obtained by chance years ago.

But their conclusion was the same as Chu Qing’s.

The sword hilt had no mechanism.

Now with Chu Qing bringing up the old matter again, it was clear he wanted to inquire further.

At once, she restrained her thoughts and waited quietly.

Wu Qingshan was a bit surprised, looking at Chu Qing, then at Wu Qianhuan, lightly laughing:

"How did you know?"

Wu Qianhuan suddenly gripped her long sword tightly.

Their speculations failed to verify, yet unexpectedly, Wu Qingshan directly admitted it.

However, there were things she didn’t understand, so she asked coldly:

"Nonsense, what does the Profound Nether Sword have to do with you?

"Moreover, if you truly wanted this sword, why didn’t Gu Qianqiu directly ask my father?

"Not to mention gold and silver, even bartering might not be impossible."

"Miss Wu, who told you... this sword is the Profound Nether Sword?"

Wu Qingshan quietly looked at the sword in Chu Qing’s hand, speaking solemnly:

"This sword is called Cyan Night!

"It is the sword of our Valley of Myriad Nights’ founding ancestor.

"The third-generation ancestor traveled the world with this sword, but accidentally lost it, spending half his life searching in vain, ultimately passing away in grief..."

"You all are so persistent about this sword, not just because it was your ancestor’s weapon, right?"

Chu Qing laughed:

"More so because of what’s inside the sword hilt?"

Wu Qingshan’s eyes darkened, yet he said nothing.

Chu Qing then suddenly stunned them with his words:

"Too bad, there’s already nothing inside the sword hilt.

"All your scheming has been in vain."

"Nonsense!!"

Wu Qingshan was momentarily stunned, then angrily shouted:

"Ignorant child, what do you know? The mechanism inside the sword hilt was created by the famous mechanism master Lan Huoshan, and only our Valley Master’s secret technique can open it.

"Others can’t even detect the mechanism traces; even if they could, without the opening method, they can’t open it!!

"Who could retrieve the item inside?"

"Even you, the Vice Valley Master, don’t know the opening method?"

Chu Qing frowned slightly.

Wu Qingshan’s eyes sank as he spoke lightly:

"It’s fine if I don’t know; killing you and handing the Cyan Night Sword to the Valley Master will surely bring our Valley of Myriad Nights back to its peak."

Upon saying this, Wu Qingshan’s murderous intent surged around him, True Qi flowed, causing waves to form.

Wu Qianhuan’s expression slightly changed, whispering:

"His Zhong Liuzhu is almost impervious to all techniques, be careful..."

Just as she said this, she saw Chu Qing already holding a small Willow Leaf Flying Saber.

She was momentarily stunned; why did he pull out a hidden weapon instead of using the sword?
