Chapter 634: Chapter 348: Let Me See What You Can Do (2)

The Han Qiujun of earlier would have had to retreat when facing the combined forces of many people... But right now, he extended his sleeves and let out a long roar.

His immense inner strength spread along with the sound.

Buzz buzz buzz, buzz buzz buzz!!!

Forces clashed, with the sound of the zither and sonic waves colliding, affecting all directions, creating an unending explosion of sound.

The strings of Liu Qingyan’s zither snapped first, followed immediately by Liu Jinghan’s, and finally Liu Zhaonian’s five fingers struck upon the zither, causing his aura to dissipate and blood to gush from his seven orifices.

Raising his eyes to Han Qiujun standing in the arena:

"You really... have acquired the Ninth Grade."

Han Qiujun witnessed this, and the frustration of not having gained the upper hand during the exchange with Chu Qing finally slightly dissipated.

He wondered whether he hadn’t been able to exert the full power of the Ninth Grade [Star Splitting Nine Transformations] earlier?

After all, it was a recent breakthrough, and the operation of inner power wasn’t yet so familiar; this seemed quite reasonable...

Is that why this young man exploited a loophole?

Though it seemed unlikely, admitting that Chu Qing’s martial arts were on par with his Ninth Grade [Star Splitting Nine Transformations] was even harder.

Upon hearing Liu Zhaonian’s words, and observing the situation, Han Qiujun couldn’t help but laugh:

"Liu Zhaonian... Are you still planning to resist until the end?

"Now that I’ve achieved the Ninth Grade [Star Splitting Nine Transformations], there are few in this world who are my match.

"The insignificant Celestial Sound Mansion can now be wiped out with a flick.

"What do you have to rival me!?"

"Are you planning to laugh up to the sky and shout ’Who else in the world but me’?"

Chu Qing’s voice came from another place, having put down Wu Qianhuan but still holding Injury Concealment.

The Cyan Night Sword has not been drawn for a long time because when the Night Emperor does not appear, the Cyan Night need not appear either.

After all, Wu Qianhuan is nearby; using Injury Concealment is just the same.

Chu Qing never actually picks weapons.

He held the sword forward, walking as he laughed:

"I advise you not to do that... The last one who did it died miserably."

"Han San!!!"

Han Qiujun stared fiercely at Chu Qing, his eyes filled with killing intent:

"In the end, I underestimated you—an unknown young newcomer, first killing Han Qiuyuan, then Han Qiuzhe.

"Were it not for you, how would I have ended up in this predicament!?

"You truly deserve death!!!"

Upon hearing it, Chu Qing smacked his forehead:

"I thought I’d forgotten something important..."

His gaze shifted to the still-determined battlefield, shouting:

"Where is Han Qiuyu?"

"Who is calling me?"

Han Qiuyu was cooperating with Han Qiushuang and others from the Twenty-one Constellations against the Five Tones and Seven Rhymes. On the Five Tones and Seven Rhymes side, Ouyang Tianfeng led the Liaoyuan Mansion disciples in support.

Both sides were locked in an intense battle.

Yet perhaps due to the similar levels of martial arts, there had been no casualties thus far.

So much so that upon Chu Qing’s inquiry, Han Qiuyu actually answered.

Seeing this, Chu Qing smiled and suddenly disappeared.

He was like a bolt of lightning, the distance vanishing under his feet in just a flash.

Han Qiujun was stunned, suddenly realizing what Chu Qing intended, and immediately shouted angrily:

"You dare!!!"

But before he could fully yell out those words, Chu Qing’s hand already grasped a human head.

Injury Concealment was not tainted with blood; Chu Qing flicked his hand, tossing the head to Su Ningzhen:

"Catch!"

Su Ningzhen sheathed the short sword, quickly reached out and caught the human head, tears barely visible in his eyes.

Han Qiujun roared with rage:

"Han San, you killed my brothers, we are irreconcilable!!"

Saying this, he tapped his foot on the ground and vanished once again, closing the ten-zhang gap between them in a flash, and once more, disappeared.

Upon reappearing, he loomed above Chu Qing.

His palm gathered inner breath as a single palm descended from the sky, the Star Splitting Hand!!!

Hands can pluck the stars, also can split the stars.

A single hand shatters the stars, astonishing the world!

But this palm met with empty air.

Chu Qing’s voice came from behind him:

"Impressive power, but too slow."

Han Qiujun’s eyes flashed with a proud look; with a swift spin, the palm intended for emptiness suddenly came to Chu Qing’s chest.

Yet, Chu Qing lifted the sword with his left hand and casually sent out a palm with his right.

"You seek death!!!"

Seeing Chu Qing dare to compete with him in palm force; Han Qiujun’s arrogance couldn’t be contained within his eyes.

Thinking that prior, it was likely he didn’t exert full force.

Otherwise, Chu Qing shouldn’t have managed to block it, no matter what.

But now it’s different... This move, the Star Splitting Hand, was intended to kill.

The palm force of the Star Splitting Hand was inherently different from the ordinary, especially when combined with the Ninth Grade [Star Splitting Nine Transformations]. No matter facing legends or the ethereal—Han Qiujun had the confidence to fight.

In an instant!

With a thunderous sound.

The two palms clashed, a whirlwind surrounding them.

"How can this be!?"

Han Qiujun was speechless.

The confidence built by the Ninth Grade [Star Splitting Nine Transformations] momentarily wilted like frost on an eggplant.

This time, neither retreated, Chu Qing held steady.

Still a stalemate!

"Hmm? Are you unsure?"

Chu Qing suddenly smiled, next moment, casually thrusting Injury Concealment into the ground:

"Come, let me see your skills."

With that, his left hand then launched, and Han Qiujun had no choice but to react... But unexpectedly, one engagement led to another without end.

Chu Qing’s palm technique was fast and relentless, seamless as a storm, flowing fluidly, without any gaps.

Had Han Qiujun’s inner strength far surpassed Chu Qing’s, he might disrupt Chu Qing’s technique linkage with sheer force.

But no matter what force he exerted, Chu Qing naturally countered and followed through, increasing power.

Both fought swiftly, moving rapidly, striking rapidly!

Few present could clearly see their fight, most only seeing shadows, unclear of their actions... How they struck and reacted, all was a blur.

An onlooker who could see seemed visibly stunned.

They realized... Han Qiujun was being pressed by Chu Qing.

Liu Zhaonian wiped blood from his eyes and glanced at his sister:

"When you gave birth to him, was there some secret technique?"

"If there was, are you planning to have my sister-in-law deliver another?"

Liu Zhaohua retorted irritably.

"..."

Liu Zhaonian glanced at his son, sighed:

"If there really was a secret, I’d tell your cousin, so he could also birth such a master."

"You better clean the blood off your face..."

Liu Zhaohua pulled a brocade handkerchief from her sleeve and tossed it to Liu Zhaonian:

"You look like you’re about to die."

Liu Zhaonian could joke around, but she found it hard to laugh.

After all, knowing how strong the Ninth Grade [Star Splitting Nine Transformations] Han Qiujun was, others didn’t; she faced him directly.

Her son meeting such an opponent, even seemingly prevailing, she remained cautious.

Ouyang Tianxu stood on another end of the city wall, watching the Chu Qing and Han Qiujun duel, his heart slightly relieved.

But the relief wasn’t complete.

Today’s crisis may be solved, but what about afterward?

Celestial Sound Mansion having such a master, with the Three Mansions losing Star Split Mansion, meant two mansions parallel, inevitable disputes.

Then, what will his Liaoyuan Mansion fight against Celestial Sound Mansion?

Just pondering this, a chill crept up his spine.

Overwhelming intuition of danger suddenly loomed.

Raising his gaze to the sky, despite clear skies, darkness seemed to brew thick enough to drip water...

At this moment, he realized that, atop the city wall, unbeknownst when... another person had appeared!
