Chapter 1883: Poisoned_3

Qu Zhongzhi, as the Longmen eleventh Jing, mainly practiced the martial arts actually created by the previous generation’s Longmen Fourth Shock, the “Great Freedom Formless Sword Technique.”

Yet this Skill is easy to learn but hard to master, requiring years of constant refinement.

Moreover, only with deep Inner Strength can its true power be unleashed.

Although Qu Zhongzhi’s Swordsmanship and martial arts seemed decent earlier, his Inner Strength was far from enough to escape from my grasp.

Now the Sword Qi penetrates the body, revealing profound mastery within this Divine Skill.

However, the Fifth Jing sneered:

“This is your reliance?

“It’s simply… ignorant of life and death.”

He reached out with one hand, causing a whistling sound in the void.

The entire Hualong Hall thundered, as if a Divine Dragon roamed, roaring proudly across the heavens.

Pulled by waves of invisible force, Qu Zhongzhi felt utterly unsteady, pushed forward unstoppably by waves of power.

Wanting to escape now was impossible.

But if going with the flow, he’ll surely be slain by the Fifth Jing’s Supreme Qi Divine Skill.

Right away, he took a deep breath, raised the Longsword without resisting, going along with the tide.

As the Longsword’s edge flowed, humming amidst the sounds, strands of Sword Qi scattered, wrapping around all directions, the Sword Intent raced in a straight line, pointing directly at the central gate.

With the Sword Qi enfolding all directions, each integrated onto the sword’s body, his sword light grew stronger.

Strand by strand, Sword Qi merged, making the Sword Intent increasingly sharp.

Even the Second Jing in attendance couldn’t help being influenced, feeling as if the sword aimed at their brow.

Though the Fourth Jing remained unscathed.

She cultivated the Sitting Forget Jade Heart Scripture, already forgetting about the scene before her.

And forgotten Qu Zhongzhi’s Sword Intent.

Unmoved.

Buzz!!!

The sword tip, immense to the extreme, suddenly clashed with the Fifth Jing’s Supreme Qi Divine Skill.

Although there was nothing before the sword tip.

Yet the Sword Qi suddenly flourished.

Strands of Sword Qi and Inner Strength surged and spread, hearing the bang bang bang, bang bang bang!!

A series of explosive sounds spread all around.

Qu Zhongzhi’s body shook tremendously, blood trickling from his mouth corner.

All his Inner Strength had converged, the sword light growing yet stronger, the sword tip inching into the intangible ahead.

The ears bore the Dragon Roar like thunder, shaking the limbs and bones.

Despite standing still, the Fifth Jing’s face grew increasingly grim, with one hand pressed atop the previous hand’s back.

Two palms stacked, the might surged dramatically.

Mystical Skill circulated, yet not yet reaching the peak but achieving eighty percent.

Seeing Qu Zhongzhi’s Longsword tremble incessantly, Sword Qi already scattered, becoming uncontrollable, and blood flowed from his seven orifices.

Clenching his teeth, mouth crimson red.

Shouted angrily:

“Break for me!!!

“Even a cornered beast fights, seeking its own demise!”

The Fifth Jing sneered coldly, manipulating all his Inner Strength, ready to push forward to personally defeat this rebellious, ignorant one.

He still wanted to keep this person alive, asking from where this Swordsmanship originated.

How did the power surge?

Was it due to a traitor within the Jinglong Association secretly aiding?

But unanticipated, at the turn of Inner Strength, power suddenly waned.

Simultaneously, excruciating pain traversed the bodily meridians in an instant.

Unable to help but open his mouth, with a sound, spewing forth blood.

This change occurred abruptly, not to mention the shocked expressions of the Jing Huang present, even Qu Zhongzhi, who dueled him, looked bewildered.

Yet with both sides engaged, they couldn’t retract their hands.

Immediately, he turned holding the sword with both hands, spinning like a top, instantly reaching the Fifth Jing’s front.

Seeing the sword piercing through, about to pass through the Fifth Jing’s body.

Suddenly, a slender jade hand reached from the side.

With a pinch, two white fingers clung tightly to Qu Zhongzhi’s Longsword.

Qu Zhongzhi growled in rage, twisting the sword, aiming to strike again, but the hand’s owner followed his force’s direction, turning, releasing two fingers, and flicked backhandedly.

With a buzzing sound.

A massive indescribable force roared into the heart.

Qu Zhongzhi flew backward entirely.

The silhouette crashed onto the wall, blood flowed torrentially.

The hand was already weak, laboriously raising the Longsword, hearing a cracking sound.

On the sword blade, the spot struck by the woman’s flick shattered into a small gap.

Taking this as a starting point, cracks spread across the sword.

With a clatter, the entire sword shattered instantly.

Holding the sword hilt, he stood in place, raised his head to see the Fourth Jing beside the Fifth Jing, sighing:

“Indeed, worthy of Longmen’s Fourth Jing.

“Sitting Forget Jade Heart Scripture… truly lives up to its name.”

The Fourth Jing wore a half-white mask, robes fluttering, a masterly demeanor.

Upon hearing his words, she nodded gently, asked:

“Who are you?

“What happened to you?”

“…”

Qu Zhongzhi remained silent for a while.

Sitting Forget Jade Heart Scripture, mighty, also with peculiar abilities.

Yet the downside of practicing this Skill was strikingly immense.

Practitioners gradually forget everything around them.

Glorified as, forgetting objects to preserve the mind.

In reality, forgetting is just forgetting.

Forgetting people, also forget emotions, forget everything.

If someone truly cultivates to forget all in the world, forget their name, origin, and background.

Then they’ve completed this Sitting Forget Jade Heart Scripture’s highest realm.

But reaching this realm, that person… wouldn’t even be considered human anymore.

Seeing Qu Zhongzhi not respond to her words, the Fourth Jing also forgot what she just asked.

She only looked at the Fifth Jing, somewhat surprised:

“What’s going on with you?

“Were you just fighting someone?

“What sort of person could injure you like this?”

“…”

Fifth Jing gritted his teeth:

“This isn’t an injury… it’s… Poison…”

At this point, he turned back toward the curtain behind, asked solemnly:

“First Shock… why did you Poison us?”
