System: I Can Open Martial Arts Chests
Chapter 221 - 143: Endless Slaughter
If truly pierced by this finger, even Shi Ye would inevitably die.
Although his shoulder was injured, he lifted both hands, thunder intertwined between his palms, and launched a palm strike directly at Wen Fusheng’s chest and abdomen.
Myriad Destruction Yin Thunder Technique!
The domain of Celestial Inference Star Control Skill unfolded in an instant, carrying the thunder-filled palm force, pressing forward within three inches of Wen Fusheng’s chest, but ultimately couldn’t advance further.
Wen Fusheng suddenly raised his head, and the momentum of the Nine Heavens Star Finger was once again set in motion.
Shi Ye’s pupils contracted, blood flowed from his eyes, and the dead-silent gaze of the Netherworld Rebirth Technique was brewing.
But at this moment, a hand suddenly broke through the surrounding entanglement of Gang Wind, grabbing Shi Ye’s shoulder and tossing him away.
In mid-air, Shi Ye quickly looked back, his expression of shock and anger turned into joy:
"Prince!!"
The one who tossed him was surprisingly a man in a gray robe, wearing a mask with the word ’Mu’ on it.
It was Prince Mu!
However, Shi Ye’s joy was short-lived, and a great confusion rose in his heart.
He had personally witnessed Prince Mu dying under the blade of the Mad Saber Triumvirate.
How could he now appear unharmed?
Before he could find an answer, he felt a sharp edge suddenly rise from beneath his feet.
As he was about to land, realizing there was no way to dodge, he clasped his hands together, and thunder roared all around him.
Again, Myriad Destruction Yin Thunder Technique!
This martial art draws the heavenly thunder and fire into the inner strength.
In theory, it is an extremely advanced secret technique.
However, this technique is extremely dangerous; using the body to attract thunder, how can the flesh and blood withstand it?
Then, someone from the Demon Dao came up with a method... They captured ordinary people, binding them to an iron pillar on a mountain peak during thunderstorms.
They lured thunder to kill them.
Killed by thunder, their bodies naturally became wrapped in the aura of thunder fire.
This thunder, having been weakened through this process, was naturally tame, and practitioners of the Myriad Destruction Yin Thunder Technique absorbed this thunder fire into themselves, enhancing their cultivation.
One person’s thunder fire from lightning was limited, so they captured more people...
After repeated experimentation, it was found that those with high talent could use up to sixty-three people at most in one go.
More than that, they couldn’t absorb it fully, and the thunder fire would dissipate.
Fewer than that, it wasn’t enough.
The more mediocre ones could use at most thirty people at a time.
The worst ones needed at least ten people to make any progress.
Both Pei Wuji and Shi Ye practiced this Myriad Destruction Yin Thunder Technique, but with Prince Mu overseeing, Shi Ye’s practice was more smooth and satisfactory.
Having consumed countless lives, he had cultivated this martial art to the Seventh Realm.
Now, with thunder strength covering his entire body, it was as if forming a layer of Thunder Robe.
This skill is incredibly powerful, especially having significant effects on metal and iron.
No matter how sharp the blade, it would inevitably be worn down and manipulated by the thunder strength, unable to maintain the Saber Momentum.
As expected, the accumulated saber momentum was immediately scattered by the Thunder Robe.
Shi Ye landed, spun around quickly, ready to use the Netherworld Rebirth Technique against Chu Qing behind him.
But just as he turned, before the technique could manifest, two fingers appeared right in front of him.
Puchi!!
Double Dragon Cave is originally a common trick in the martial world.
Even ordinary thugs know it, like Double Dragon Cave, Crotch Kick, Monkey Stealing Peaches... these underhanded methods targeting vital points were countless.
Shi Ye never dreamed that someday, this trick would find its way to him.
Moreover, Chu Qing clearly planned this for a long time...
Was it really the Thunder Robe that hindered the saber momentum earlier?
Or was this person deliberately doing so to take his eyes?
This thought flashed through his mind, but he couldn’t find an answer anymore.
A heavy kick landed, sinking his chest and abdomen inward.
The person left, but the eyes remained.
Chu Qing threw the two eyeballs into the crowd with a flick of his hand.
At this moment, in the Celestial Secret Valley, battles were raging everywhere, people running, and waves of Gang Qi Palm Wind continuously erupted.
Several experts struck in succession, creating a roaring sound all around.
The eyeballs fell among the crowd’s feet, and in an instant, were crushed to pulp.
Only then did Shi Ye let out a miserable scream, but before he could react further, Chu Qing reached out swiftly, operated the Mingyu Scripture, and captured him.
"You... you ruined my eyes..."
Shi Ye’s voice was shrill, but in the next moment, he couldn’t speak anymore as Chu Qing’s Mingyu Scripture’s frigid power penetrated his meridians, tossing him towards Prince Mu with a flick of his hand.
Prince Mu was originally replacing Shi Ye in the battle against Wen Fusheng.
Throwing Shi Ye out of the battle circle was an act of goodwill, but unexpectedly, the most adept at seizing opportunities, instead caused Shi Ye’s demise.
The Celestial Inference Star Control Skill and Nine Heavens Star Finger were not simple moves; even though Prince Mu’s Divine Skill was peerless, attempting to seize Wen Fusheng’s life among these few techniques was wishful thinking.
Two silhouettes darted around, the overwhelming power of the techniques kicking up a haze of dust all around.
Suddenly, in the midst of this, the whistling wind carried Shi Ye’s heartbreaking screams swiftly over.
Beneath Prince Mu’s mask, his eyes slightly changed color, as his palm momentum rose and fell, seemingly with golden light, combined with his mighty Inner Strength, forcing Wen Fusheng to retreat several steps.
Fortunately, with the Celestial Inference Star Control Skill, although he retreated, he was not injured.
Prince Mu then combined his hands, and even though Shi Ye, blind, hadn’t yet collided with Prince Mu, he was directly split into two by his blade-like Palm Wind.
The two halves of the corpse ran off separately, and raising his gaze, Prince Mu saw Chu Qing already advancing with his saber.
Prince Mu brought his hands together, and Chu Qing’s saber edge was caught between his palms:
"Resorting to the same trick?"
As these four words dropped, blood suddenly appeared on his wrists, and in a moment of surprise, both hands fell to the ground.
Following the saber light, there was a stroke, writing the character ’one’ in mid-air.
The next moment, Prince Mu’s head rolled again with a thud.
Wen Fusheng stepped forward:
"What saber technique is this?"
"Sixteen Paths of Shocking Evil Saber..."
Just now, this saber embodied the words ’strange’ and ’swift.’
Combining the two, it was a balance of speed.
Prince Mu caught the slow saber, but before that, the swift saber had already severed his hands.
Thus, the situation just now where the saber was caught, but the hands were cut off was created.
But Chu Qing’s expression was somewhat odd.
Prince Mu... had already killed one before.
Having killed the second now, could there be a third?
Earlier, Shi Ye rushed out, Wen Fusheng took over, giving him a fleeting moment of leisure to check the mission interface.
He discovered something extremely interesting.
Now he once again opened the system interface to check.
[Task: Extermination Command!]
[Current Progress: Three.]
[Task Reward One: Choose any one from the optional Martial Arts Treasure Chest.]
[Task Reward Two: One opportunity for treasure chest upgrade.]
[Currently selectable treasure chests: Sound Skill Treasure Chest, Exotic Studies Treasure Chest, Palm Technique Treasure Chest]
"It’s indeed changed to three..."
Earlier when Chu Qing looked, the progress was one.
In other words, his killing of the first Prince Mu moved the progress to one, proving the assassination effective.
Now changing to three, obviously due to Shi Ye and the death of the second Prince Mu.
In other words... this task of Two Guards One Prince, seeming like three people, actually is not!
Prince Mu is more than one person, but how many are there?
In terms of task progress, the upper limit was not written; the so-called ’progress’ simply shows how many have been killed currently without telling how many there actually are...
Of course, in this regard, Chu Qing was already used to it.
After all, this system was as crude as a knock-off.
Luckily, the rewards are solid and real.
And given the considerable difficulty of this task, there was a second upgrade reward.
Thus, the more Prince Mus there are, wouldn’t more rewards be selectable?
At this thought, applause came from behind:
"The Seven Extremes Seven Transitions Seven Injuries Sword, which I’ve immersed myself in for years, is still hard to fully comprehend."
"In your hands, merely a few hours, you’ve already understood it to this extent..."
"I’m not mistaken; you indeed are exceptionally gifted, worthy of admiration."
Chu Qing turned back, seeing Prince Mu in a gray robe, wearing a mask with the character ’grave,’ standing before the door of the Celestial Secret Tower, leaning against the porch, quietly watching Chu Qing.
Seeing this, Chu Qing chuckled:
"So you are... endless in killing."
