Chapter 631 - 347: Nine Thunderous Blasts!

Chapter 631: Chapter 347: Nine Thunderous Blasts!

Although Chu Qing said ’that startled me,’ his face remained calm, while the ’Shadow,’ who was trying to scare him, suddenly had his pupils constrict.

Without thinking, he instantly sank into the shadows, attempting to disappear in front of Chu Qing.

"Now that you’re here, why leave?"

Chu Qing reached out his hand and grabbed, aiming straight for the Shadow’s head that hadn’t yet disappeared into the shadows.

This move was seemingly slow but actually very fast; the Shadow couldn’t react in time, and his head was already caught between Chu Qing’s fingers.

But at that moment, a sharp edge suddenly came from the city tower below, a bloodthirsty blade aimed directly at Chu Qing’s forearm.

Simultaneously, behind him, there was a sound like thunder exploding.

Without looking back, one can imagine how powerful the strike from behind was.

In an instant, Chu Qing found himself being surrounded and attacked.

If he insisted on dragging out the Shadow, his wrist and back would inevitably be struck.

A moment’s distraction could lead to being attacked from both sides.

However, the hand with which Chu Qing held the ’Shadow’ showed no sign of letting go; he simply stepped forward.

The entire Celestial Sound Mansion city tower let out a heavy sound, unable to bear the weight.

This step directly shattered the blade that was cut from below the tower.

Yet in that moment, his back was already struck hard with a punch.

The attacker was the ’Mad Demon Fist,’ one of the four assassins attacking today.

This person’s fist technique was like madness, powerful and intense.

Once he hit the opponent, he would be relentless, like a rabid dog.

As expected, after this punch hit, Mad Demon Fist’s arms spun, his fists raining down continuously on Chu Qing’s back.

In just the time to form a thought, he had already struck more than ten punches.

His fists swung, creating a shadowy blur, each punch possessing the power to crack mountains.

But as he continued striking, Mad Demon Fist suddenly sensed something wrong...

Logically, at this moment, Chu Qing shouldn’t have exhibited Protective Divine Skill, so even with deep inner power, his mortal flesh should have been pummeled and broken by now.

Why, despite being struck so many times, did he not react at all?

Fist Wind subconsciously slowed down, which prompted Chu Qing to suddenly turn around:

"Why stop hitting?

"Continue."

Mad Demon Fist became suddenly infuriated, just about to strike again, when his face suddenly changed.

Though known as Mad Demon Fist, he wasn’t truly insane... his observational ability, insight, and thinking capability were excellent.

And he immediately saw, the pitiful state of the ’Shadow’ held in Chu Qing’s hand.

He didn’t know how many bones were broken throughout his body, his blood causing the disguise mask to be torn off, revealing bright red blood beneath. It looked like half his face had been peeled off, making it extremely miserable.

A moment ago, when Chu Qing grabbed the ’Shadow,’ he and another person attacked simultaneously.

Within that short period, Chu Qing didn’t have time to do anything to the Shadow...

But if that was so, where did all these injuries come from?

Thinking this, his charged fist still landed on Chu Qing.

This punch wasn’t as mad or powerful as before.

But still, it was not to be underestimated.

When it landed on Chu Qing’s chest, he was unfazed, but the ’Shadow’ he held suddenly spewed a mouthful of fresh blood.

As if someone had dealt a heavy blow.

In this instant, Mad Demon Fist felt a sudden enlightenment:

"He’s been beaten into this state because of me!?"

But... how could it be!?

Clearly, he was hitting ’Han San,’ how did the force all transfer to the Shadow?

Could it be that ’Han San’ was actually a disciple of the Martial Emperor?

And was he now using the Secret Technique of Great Shift of Heaven and Earth!?

Unbeknownst to him, although Chu Qing wasn’t using the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth, what he used was still an extraordinary martial skill hard to find in the world.

He had long mastered the Mingyu Skill, and his proficiency in the technique of Mirror Flower, Water Moon was exceptional.

Later, he acquired the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth, and his understanding of force reached the pinnacle.

Combined, his mastery of counterattack by borrowing force matched that of the Secret Technique.

But the Martial Emperor’s Secret Technique worked from outside to inside, from external skill to inner strength, and could counter any martial skill, be it fists, feet, fingers, blades, spears, swords, or halberds.

It had reached the peak of external skill, a complete mastery of technique.

Luo Wushuang could not defeat Chu Qing partly because his inner power was far inferior to Chu Qing, and partly because his skill had not reached the pinnacle, already straining himself to the limit just by attempting to counter Chu Qing’s Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, ending in bleeding from all seven apertures.

This almost completely opposed the principle of the Secret Technique, ’not using my own force, countering the opponent’s attack.’ To be as undefeated as the Martial Emperor was impossible.

The gap between them couldn’t be measured by reason.

Therefore, Chu Qing killing him was as easy as killing a chicken.

And with Mirror Flower, Water Moon and Great Shift of Heaven and Earth, Chu Qing dared not claim to be as invincible as the Martial Emperor, but against ordinary fists and feet, regardless of how fierce and tyrannical, he couldn’t be harmed at all.

When Mad Demon Fist’s fists came striking, he happened to be holding the Shadow.

So he just conveniently transferred the force onto the Shadow...

It must be mentioned, Mad Demon Fist’s power was indeed extraordinary.

Chu Qing spread the transferred force as evenly as possible across the Shadow’s body; if concentrated in one point, the Shadow would likely have been obliterated.
