Chapter 340 - 201: Breaking the Formation Chess! (Part 2)
Four figures were simultaneously pushed back by the dragon-shaped Qi.
Before the result of this intense battle emerged, two figures hidden behind the four suddenly took action.
Their method was different from the others.
They opened their mouths wide, shouting simultaneously.
"Roar!!!"
In a fleeting moment, the air seemed to be swept by the sound waves, rippling forward, reaching Chu Qing and the other two.
Undying Golden Body!!
Chilling, white, like ice, Gang Qi surrounded Chu Qing and the others.
Two dragon-shaped Qi swirled and spread around the Gang Qi...
In an instant, the sound waves had reached the Gang Qi.
Then, boom, boom!!!!!
Two thunderous explosions echoed, as if detonating hundreds of pounds of dynamite, shaking the entire Ghost God Gorge endlessly.
The formidable power swept across in the instant of its explosion.
Not only did it force Beitang Zun and Nianxin to repeatedly retreat, but even the nearby disciples of the Blazing Hall were affected, many sitting on the ground on impact.
As they looked up, their heads were still buzzing.
They couldn’t believe what they were seeing.
Not to mention them, even on the opposite side of Ghost God Gorge, Tie Lingyun’s group felt the aftermath of the impact.
Yet, by the time it reached them, it only fluttered their clothing instead of the full force that could hurl them away.
Even so, Tie Lingyun and others’ expressions changed drastically.
They looked towards the opposite side of Ghost God Gorge, not knowing what was happening there.
But after all, it was too far to clearly see the situation on the other side.
Even close observers like Beitang Zun and Nianxin, as well as the other leaders of the Blazing Hall, couldn’t completely grasp what was happening.
Initially, Chu Qing, Nianxin, and Nian’an stepped forward, fixedly still against the fifteen opponents.
Their mental realm seemed to enter another world, engaging in a battle of intention.
Yet, this process did not last long, as Chu Qing made his move, and the fifteen opponents simultaneously coughed up blood.
The next moment, the twelve-zhang saber aura from Chu Qing appeared before everyone’s eyes again.
The battle commenced from this point.
The confrontation thus far had only spanned moments.
Yet, the fifteen opponents were already gravely wounded or killed... The inexplicable part was the initial action of those two.
How did they manage such a grand display?
Unbeknownst to them, the two who acted were [Cannons].
They practiced the [Celestial Thunder Evil Sound] from [Life and Death Chess]!
Opening their mouths like thunderclaps, sweeping in all directions, their power boundless!
As the intense explosions sounded, dust rapidly spread, completely enveloping Chu Qing and the others in white snow-mist.
The soldiers pushed back by Chu Qing’s palm landed, unable to stand, spitting blood due to Chu Qing’s palm force!
Overall, each ’chess piece’ had its skills, but ultimately could not withstand Chu Qing’s few moves.
Upon witnessing this, Beitang Zun relaxed slightly, his gaze focusing on the area shrouded in white mist.
As the dust settled, Chu Qing and his companions stood unharmed amid ice-like Gang Qi.
Looking up at the opposite side, of the original fifteen, only four now remained standing.
Besides the two who acted earlier, two others stood afar, unmoving.
Chu Qing’s gaze encompassed these four, a faint smile appearing:
"Is this it?"
As these words were spoken, the faces of the four immediately darkened.
The two [Cannons] exchanged glances, roaring once more in fury.
"Roar!!!"
"Roar!!!"
Waves of sound spread in all directions, thunderous echoes raining upon Chu Qing’s Gang Qi.
Boom, boom, boom, boom!!!
The earth-shaking [Celestial Thunder Evil Sound] incessantly battered Chu Qing’s Gang Qi, inciting thunderous tremors and quakes.
Chu Qing and company were again shrouded in swirling dust, but within, Chu Qing remained unaffected, letting the two [Cannons] roar.
Calmly, he checked his system rewards amidst the commotion.
[Quest: Extermination Order!]
[Current Progress: Ten.]
[Task reward: Choose any from the Martial Arts Treasure Chest.]
[Available Treasure Chests: Sword Technique Treasure Chest, Fist Technique Treasure Chest, Saber Technique Treasure Chest, Lightweight Technique Treasure Chest, Exotic Studies Treasure Chest, Finger Technique Treasure Chest, Hand Technique Treasure Chest, Staff Treasure Chest, Spear Treasure Chest, Array Treasure Chest.]
Chu Qing’s expression darkened upon seeing this.
Among fifteen opponents, the reason for ten treasure chests is due to one [Pawn] still alive, merely wounded by Shocking Cold Gaze, half-dead now.
The ones who truly perished were two horses, two elephants, one pawn, and five soldiers.
Yet there are ten treasure chests, none an Inner Power Treasure Chest?
This damned system must be messing with me?
Especially considering the staff and spear techniques... do they really match these opponents?
The damned system is deliberate in its teasing?
However, the Array Treasure Chest did pique Chu Qing’s interest.
He had no achievements in the art of array, so obtaining an Array Treasure Chest and comprehending an array... seemed a decent choice.
As he pondered this, the opposite [Cannons] appeared to lose some strength.
With a casual wave, Chu Qing stirred a Gang Wind that swept away the surrounding dust.
Looking up again, the two [Cannons] still held their poses, yet their expressions were fiercely grim.
With blood-red eyes, bleeding from seven apertures, and bloodshot eyes, their voices seemed hoarse, the strength of the [Celestial Thunder Evil Sound] greatly diminished!
Such is the fate when deploying [Celestial Thunder Evil Sound] from a distance, avoiding the infringement of Cold Strength; otherwise, they might defeat themselves.
"It seems this Martial Arts technique has quite a few flaws..."
Chu Qing quietly remarked.
Yet, no one heard him, except Nianxin and Nian’an, whose experience differed.
If normal folks heard Chu Qing’s words, they’d likely curse aloud.
Is it truly the flaws of the Celestial Thunder Evil Sound... or your Undying Golden Body being overly extreme?
Typically, when the Celestial Thunder Evil Sound is performed, life and death are discerned.
How often does one strain his voice, while you remain unaffected?
Looking around Chu Qing’s location, beyond the Gang Qi lay a deeply dug terrain!
Numerous pits, large and small.
The surroundings appeared as if ravaged by a thunderous tempest.
"If you’re spent, it’s my turn now."
Chu Qing casually twisted his wrist. In the next instant, with a buzz, the blade emerged.
He moved like a wisp of smoke, distances shrinking beneath his feet.
The two [Cannons] tried to speak again, but the prolonged shouting left their inner strength depleted and their voices hoarse like fire; when they tried to open their mouths, the Celestial Thunder Evil Sound failed to resound, triggering intense coughing instead.
As Chu Qing dragged his saber, the Sixteen Paths of Shocking Evil Saber suddenly executed.
Aiming to slice the heads off the two [Cannons].
Suddenly, with two thundering bangs!
The two motionless [Rooks] simultaneously sprang to action, their feet touching down explosively, engulfed head to toe in a layer of Profound Robe.
Wrapped up entirely, even their heads were covered, rendering these two figures completely shadowy!
Propelled forward as Dragon Transformation Vehicles, racing like the wind, lightning-speed, thunderous rush, collided with Chu Qing.
Under [Life and Death Chess], [Dragon Transformation Vehicle]!
The two figures flanked Chu Qing, aiming direct at him.
With a mere glance, Chu Qing knew hard resistance to this move required tremendous courage.
Their overwhelming force was so intense that even a mountain between them would be shattered.
Typically, stepping back to find an opening would be the prudent strategy.
But at this moment, Chu Qing refused to retreat!
Twisting the single saber in hand, the saber aura descended, palms coming out from both sides.
As [Dragon Transformation Vehicle] closed in, Chu Qing’s palms simultaneously struck.
Where his palms landed, three inches apart, the force instantly clashed.
Boom!!!!
A fierce explosion rocked the air, overwhelming force surged.
Dust flew over ten zhang high!
Immense power radiated in all directions!!
