CHAPTER 398: CHAPTER 262: 500,000 PURE GOLD (2)

"Trying to leave!"

At this moment, he had returned to Cheng Qingniu’s stomach, but had put away his weapon, his body changed, transforming into a Fire Beak Pot!

Woo woo woo woo!!!

The Fire Beak Pot of the Five Realms began to spew fire violently in Cheng Qingniu’s stomach!

Sizzle!!

Facing the sword light coming at him again from Bai Zhan, Cheng Qingniu roared explosively, tightening his whole body with Gang Qi, circulating it three feet outside his body, like a wild boar charging recklessly.

He was planning to use both Inner and Outer Gang Qi to directly bear the opponent’s sword light and escape from here first.

Unexpectedly.

After Chen Ku spewed out a mass of flames inside him.

"Ah ah ah!!"

Never before experiencing an internal fire, Cheng Qingniu suddenly felt as if he had swallowed a large mass of fiery molten lava. Even the most frightening perseverance was roasted to the point that smoke was coming out of his seven orifices, the pain causing him to roll on the ground as if he was on fire all over, trying to roll to extinguish the invisible flames on him!

Clang!!

Just at that moment, Bai Zhan’s blade descended from the sky, striking heavily on Cheng Qingniu’s body-enveloping Gang Qi!!

Rip!!

The fierce and overbearing sword light actually tore Cheng Qingniu’s Protective Gang Qi, leaving a huge cut on his back, from the spine down to the thigh!!

"Ah ah!"

Cheng Qingniu, burning inside and out, and also slashed by this blade, felt the whole world darken a bit!

"Brother! Brother Tianji! How could you let me, Old Cheng, fall into such a trap!"

At this time,

amidst his blurry vision, he saw Li Tiansheng also approaching swiftly not far away, and a sense of joy naturally arose in his large bull eyes.

Yet,

Li Tiansheng felt even worse.

He had long seen clearly the situation here, not knowing why Cheng Qingniu suddenly screamed in agony.

But seeing Cheng Qingniu was already heavily injured by Bai Zhan!

Next, it would be almost impossible to leave this courtyard.

"No good! If he reveals me..."

Li Tiansheng’s mind went blank instinctively, seeing Cheng Qingniu about to shout ’help’ at him, he hesitated not for a moment, raising his voice to shout:

"Senior Bai, I, Li, am here to assist you!"

From a distance of several hundred feet, Li Tiansheng struck a palm towards Cheng Qingniu.

Where this palm passed, the sky echoed with ghostly wails and wolf howls, all trees, bricks, and stones were turned into powder. It was precisely the ’Heart-Pushing Divine Palm’ of the second top expert of the Black Path, Purple Gold Elder!

Almost before Cheng Qingniu could shout the word ’help’.

Li Tiansheng’s Heart-Pushing Divine Palm had already fallen on his chest.

Boom!

This palm struck Cheng Qingniu, and immediately it was as if it had pierced through his heart and lungs.

Concerning this.

Chen Ku saw the clearest from within Cheng Qingniu’s heart.

He could only feel a terrifying Palm Seal coming from the outside, directly striking this black scoundrel’s body, as if effortlessly, shattering Cheng Qingniu’s Inner Firm energy, hitting Cheng Qingniu’s heart, causing the heart to crack instantly, and blood to gush out.

"Hiss! Just now I caused havoc inside this black scoundrel for nearly a cup of tea time, surely making him suffer to death, but against his internal Gang Qi, it was still impenetrable, unbreakable, and now... Li Tiansheng’s one palm shattered his Protective Gang Qi?"

Chen Ku knew that this was partly because Cheng Qingniu had already had his external Gang Qi broken by another powerful swordman.

But being able to shatter Cheng Qingniu’s internal Gang Qi in one palm still made Chen Ku feel an insight:

"Only Gang Qi can counter Gang Qi!"

Even if he was incredibly powerful within the Sixth Realm, able to overpower others by three or four smaller realms using speed and various transformations, techniques.

But once encountering a Seventh Realm expert, the opponent need not do anything. Even if he entered the opponent’s body, he could only make the opponent suffer unbearably, unable to break that ’Gang Qi’ defense.

This was the terrifying aspect of "Innate Gang Qi".

It was practically invincible, as firm as metal soup, with defenses inside and out.

However.

Chen Ku saw Cheng Qingniu, whose defense was broken, and whose life force was quickly diminishing, suddenly smiled and said:

"Although it was someone else who broke the defense, since the Gang Qi is broken, how can I not take this black scoundrel’s life!"

Cheng Qingniu, having taken this palm, was almost beyond saving.

Only due to the strong Life Force of a Seventh Realm expert did he not die on the spot.

If Chen Ku ignored him, he would soon dissipate completely.

But if he made the final stab now, this head would fall into Chen Ku’s own hands.

Chen Ku channeled his True Qi throughout his body, filling his hand with Five Elements True Qi, and seeing the heart’s Gang Qi already shattered by a palm, directly thrust out with a stick!!

After being shattered in the heart veins by Li Tiansheng’s palm, Cheng Qingniu’s eyes widened, feeling his life rapidly slipping away, his mouth opening and closing, seemingly wanting to say something with all his might.

Li Tiansheng was also afraid he would really say something and expose him.

Was about to strike out another palm.

But suddenly.

Cheng Qingniu’s eyes bulged, his enormous head tilted, and life was completely gone from him.

[Diagram Master killed Cheng Qingniu, obtaining a trace of Seventh Realm Evil Qi]

Chen Ku took back the stick that had pierced through this black scoundrel’s heart from within Cheng Qingniu, hearing the news of the opponent’s death, he transformed his body into a small black dot Flood Dragon, flying out from the other’s ear hole.

At this moment, he saw Lord Prefect Li Lishan approaching this way with a muted expression.

Li Lishan, staring at the dead black scoundrel on the ground, sternly shouted:

"Who is this person?"

Li Tiansheng’s heart was thundering, and at this time he dared not speak.

"Replying to the lord, this thief just revealed his martial arts, letting me recognize his identity. He was the Contest Killing God Cheng Qingshan, ranked among the top ten seats of Shuipo Liang Mountain."

Bai Zhan cupped his hands and said:

"He should have been targeting the young duke, but for some unknown reason, he suddenly let out a miserable howl, exposing his presence. I observed that it seemed as if something old in his body erupted, causing such suffering that was worse than death. Fortunately, this allowed me the opportunity to stay his hand, and the young duke also struck, killing him with one hit."

"Dead? Didn’t you think of capturing him alive?"

Li Lishan sternly said to Li Tiansheng:

"If alive, couldn’t we ask who instructed him, what his purpose was?"

Hearing this, Li Tiansheng feigned a hint of grievance, not daring to speak loudly.

Bai Zhan looked towards Li Tiansheng. Earlier, Cheng Qingniu seemed to have tried to say something to the young duke...

But at this moment, in front of this person, it was inappropriate to say anything, thinking only to report to Li Lishan afterwards.

"Forget it."

Li Lishan seemed to think of something that Li Tiansheng brought tonight, softened his tone slightly, and said:

"Considering that those Five Hundred Thousand Taels of Pure Gold are also out of filial piety, I shouldn’t blame you so harshly, you may leave."

Li Tiansheng exhaled a big sigh of relief.

Seemingly having escaped a hurdle, he immediately cupped his hands:

"I will have those Five Hundred Thousand Taels of Pure Gold delivered promptly to relieve Father’s worries."

"Five Hundred Thousand Taels of Pure Gold?"

Chen Ku, still within Cheng Qingshan’s ear hole, hearing this, felt a stirring in his heart:

"Follow and take a look."
