At this moment, Ling Beichen seemed determined to kill, and this strike from above brought unprecedented pressure.

Now Zuo Wenchuan found himself at the end of his wits, unable to resist.

He had just hidden the girl in his arms behind him, ready to risk his life, when a sonorous dragon roar rang in everyone’s ears.

A dragon-shaped phantom wrapped in fierce cold light burst out from the door, leaving frost wherever it passed, and the dragon-shaped palm force rushed straight at Ling Beichen!!

BANG!!!

A thundering explosion echoed.

Zuo Wenchuan didn’t wait to fight desperately and hurriedly held Xu Qiaohui, but even so, he was still too close to the point of conflict between the two forces.

The entire person was shaken and flown by the aftermath of the force.

The remaining disciples of Luochun Manor retreated one after another, and Xia Wanshuang was lifted by the strong wind, floating back three to five yards before landing slowly.

Meanwhile, Ling Beichen in mid-air was the first to bear the brunt, and not only were the sword qi around him dispersed by a palm strike, but his entire person flew backward.

He twisted several times in the air before landing.

Immediately, he turned to leave without thinking.

"Since you’re here, why leave now?"

With the chilly voice echoing, Xia Wanshuang suddenly raised her head to look towards the source of the sound.

Saw a figure elegantly leap over the crowd, in an instant reaching before the mountain gate.

Lifted five fingers, grasping in the air.

Ling Beichen was not an ordinary person after all, and although Chu Qing’s move was usually unstoppable, Ling Beichen merely shook his figure and broke free from Chu Qing’s inner force constraint, kicked his foot as if fleeing, and charged towards the distant without turning back.

However, at this moment, how could Chu Qing let him leave?

Immediately lifted both palms and pushed out.

The tremendous force accompanied the twin palms, dragon roars shaking the heavens, dragon-shaped phantoms blasting out.

Even as Ling Beichen was fleeing, he felt the pressure of the force behind him.

Paused his step instinctively, his figure flickering to avoid the incoming force.

Only heard successive sounds of ’bang bang bang’, as the dragon-shaped force punched out pits on the surrounding ground.

Ling Beichen was forced by the palm power; even though he evaded, he was still inevitably affected by the true qi, dodging three to five times in succession to fully escape the strike.

But with this delay, he could no longer run away.

Suddenly raising his head, he saw Chu Qing had already leapt somehow, executing Soaring Dragon in the Sky while in mid-air!!

The tumor in the middle of Ling Beichen’s brow turned blood-red, reflected in his eyes like bloodlight.

A force emerged from within him, unsettling, causing the air to ripple, pressing the surroundings as if sinking the ground by a layer.

Instantly, the sound of swords drew lightning from all directions, as wind and clouds surged, Ling Beichen used a finger as a sword, lunging with two fingers towards Chu Qing’s palm!

Buzz!!!!

As if an unparalleled sword was thrust from Ling Beichen’s hand.

The extreme cold sword edge appeared, with Ling Beichen at the core, within a radius of three yards, whether grass or stone, split entirely in two by this sword qi.

The sword qi blade clashed with the dragon-shaped force Chu Qing struck.

A sound that would make one feel like vomiting blood spread to everyone’s ears.

Zuo Wenchuan had just helped Xu Qiaohui up and seeing the scene before them was rendered speechless!

Not thinking, hurriedly covered Xu Qiaohui’s ears:

"Open your mouth."

The strange sound reached the ears, even as Xu Qiaohui opened her mouth, she felt dizzy.

And the ordinary disciples of Luochun Manor were not exempt from being agitated, almost spitting blood to feel better.

Xia Wanshuang retreated several yards again, looking at Chu Qing battling Ling Beichen in the arena, her eyes filled with complexity.

"Is it really him?"

The moment Chu Qing appeared, those words he uttered were exactly like those of the Night Emperor.

Her intuition told her, the person before her was the Night Emperor.

But this person’s martial arts were vastly different from the rumored Night Emperor...

He seemed more terrifying than that Night Emperor!?

BANG!!!

After a violent explosion, continuous bombardments ensued.

The two who had been confronting each other were now separate.

The aftermath of their battle didn’t dissipate but instead ravaged the vicinity within seven to eight yards around them, destroying the ground beyond recognition.

Smoke rose, dust blanketed the sky.

Saw Ling Beichen standing at the edge of the dust like a wooden figure, silent and still, his eyes vigilant in all directions.

Clearly alert to Chu Qing possibly attacking anytime.

Now he could no longer escape...

Such a good opportunity earlier, he didn’t succeed, now was even more impossible.

In the mist, a silhouette slowly appeared, walking while moving dust aside with a hand.

Xia Wanshuang breathed a sigh of relief at seeing this, and then heard Chu Qing’s voice filled with disarray:

"Huh? You’re Ling Beichen?"

"..."

These words brought speechlessness to everyone present.

After all this commotion and ruckus, he didn’t even know who his opponent was?

Zuo Wenchuan clasped his hands together, couldn’t help but mutter ’Amitabha’, his expression peculiar.

"Little sister!!"

A shout suddenly came from the direction of Luochun Manor, saw a pudgy young man stumbling down the steps, hurriedly approaching Xu Qiaohui.

Just as he reached out to grab her, suddenly paused, glaring at Zuo Wenchuan:

"Let go of my sister!!"

Zuo Wenchuan instantly realized he was still holding the girl, and quickly released his grip:

"Benefactor... oh no, fellow misunderstood.

"I didn’t mean to offend."

Xu Mao at this moment didn’t care whether it was intentional or not?

His sister’s safe return was more important than anything.

He immediately hugged Xu Qiaohui tightly:

"This is wonderful, wonderful, you’re not dead yet... I can’t even imagine what would happen if you had an accident, how would father and mother deal with it...

"It’s all my fault, shouldn’t have indulged you in helping that old beggar."

Xu Qiaohui was also overwhelmed, clinging to Xu Mao and sobbing her heart out.

Zuo Wenchuan quickly spoke to comfort:

"Miss, do not be so emotional, excessive joy and grief are detrimental to the heart, it is essential to calm down."

Xu Qiaohui listened and obeyed, suppressing her sobs, though her body still trembled, clearly still deeply affected.

Meanwhile, footsteps sounded and a group had emerged from Luochun Manor.

Mo Duxing from Bian City, along with Hua Jinnian approached Xu Mao, Hua Jinnian patting Xu Mao’s shoulder:

"This is great, before we could even rescue, she’s back." 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

"Not exactly back by herself."

Mo Duxing glanced at the nearby Chu Qing and Ling Beichen:

"Wasn’t a ’parting gift’ brought along?"

"His appearance in such a way even surprised the three brothers."

Hua Jinnian’s eyes narrowed, feeling somewhat intense.

Truly unexpected.

Chu Qing hadn’t initially heard Zuo Wenchuan mention they were being chased by Mad Beggar Ling Beichen.

He arrived so quickly because after the martial arts marriage tournament concluded temporarily today, someone, in dissatisfaction, privately challenged another.

Of course, Chu Qing couldn’t care less about their life or death.

As long as it was outside of Luochun Manor, they could fight as they pleased.

But these two were oblivious, causing trouble within Luochun Manor.

Prompting Chu Qing to come ’suppress the disturbance’.

And the martial arts marriage tournament didn’t conclude today, because it was too late, the decision was postponed till tomorrow.

Chu Qing had just subdued the two private fighters, ready to detain them, when he heard whistles from Luochun Manor’s gate.

Knowing a powerful enemy had arrived, he hurriedly went to check it out.

But before he could even discern who arrived, witnessed Ling Beichen’s strike as if blending body and sword.

Without hesitation, he intervened.

Afterward, not letting Ling Beichen leave was suspicious of his identity, how could he let him depart so freely?

Only then did he attempt to stop him.

But now it seems he was right to stop this person.

He turned out to be Ling Beichen!

Chu Qing slowly drew the blade in his hand, with the blade tip angled at the ground, raising his gaze towards Ling Beichen:

"You’ve committed enough sins, it’s time to die."
