Chapter 259: Chapter 71: Battle with the Qinggong Handsome Guy (Part 1)

"Ah—"

Screams reminiscent of a pig being slaughtered echoed endlessly within the empty Inheritance Space.

One had to admit that, in Qing Yu’s eyes today, the Great Joy Bodhisattva was the easiest Innate Ninth Layer Martial Artist to handle.

Her clumsy movements meant that she was left with no choice but to take a beating, while the thick layer of fat that was supposed to protect her proved utterly useless against the "Wuming Divine Skill."

Hence, without a doubt, the Great Joy Bodhisattva met with tragedy.

This massive torch burnt for quite some time, as the Great Joy Bodhisattva’s ample body fat ensured her vitality but also became her death knell.

Eventually, all that remained of the Great Joy Bodhisattva was a giant skeleton gleaming with a steel-like luster, a result of practicing the "Chewing Iron Great Method."

"Host has killed two-star villain·Great Joy Bodhisattva, obtaining Martial Arts Inheritance: ’Chewing Iron Great Method’ (two and a half stars)."

The reward was monotonous, yet the subsequent Martial Arts Enlightenment made Qing Yu appreciate the utility of this disgust-inducing mountain of flesh.

The "Chewing Iron Great Method" was a name as straightforward and brutish as its function, enabling one to chew iron as though it were juice and then swallow and digest it. Such a terrifying act to ordinary people required an extremely formidable physique.

Thus, the "Chewing Iron Great Method" was, in reality, a Body Refining Martial Arts form, one that absorbed the essence of metal to forge one’s body.

As for its effects, one only had to look at the Great Joy Bodhisattva. Though her appearance was far from pleasing, as someone who could withstand Little Li’s Flying Knife and suffer merely a scratch, her strength could not be denied.

After easily defeating the Great Joy Bodhisattva and armed with a full understanding of body refinement, Qing Yu exited the Inheritance Space.

But he was not ready to stop; a new month had arrived two days ago, and he still had a stored item.

Name: White Phoenix

Realm: Innate Ninth Layer

Item: Feather Blade, White Phoenix

Martial Arts: Phoenix Dance Six Illusions

Evaluation: Though my speed is as fast as yours, there’s a pretty big difference, I’m more handsome.

Tsk, this evaluation—it seems to be a blatant dig at him.

Touching his true face that was revealed when no one was around, Qing Yu, nearly eighteen, had shed the last traces of his youthful look and entered the prime of his life.

Qing Yu now, with sharp brows and starry eyes, although not quite a Pan An in his looks, was nonetheless very handsome. Add to that the ethereal and transcendent air that came from practicing the "Heavenly Human Rebirth Technique," in terms of appearance alone, Bai Feng was definitely not more handsome than him.

But when it came to clothing...

Clad in white feather silk garments, wearing a blue scarf with a white pattern, adorned with purple gloves featuring cloud patterns on his forearms, and three Floating Ribbons of white feathers on his right shoulder waving in the wind, he was indeed extraordinarily dashing.

It had to be said, compared to Qing Yu, who always wore a monotonous black robe, Bai Feng was much more stylish.

After all, he was in the Qin Dynasty’s World Under the Moon, which led other worlds’ fashion by two thousand years! (The Qin Dynasty had stockings, imagine another two thousand years from then.)

"System, I want to challenge Bai Feng."

"Inheritance Space, opening..."

Then, in a blur, Qing Yu once again found himself in the white expanse of the Inheritance Space.

Across from him, Bai Feng—the young man whose evaluation mocked Qing Yu—also appeared.

As soon as he materialized, Qing Yu and Bai Feng simultaneously vanished from where they had been standing.

"Thud."

Qing Yu and Bai Feng’s fists and feet collided, producing a light sound.

Qing Yu’s strength had already touched the edge of the Divine Origin Realm. Even Qingxu, who had just advanced to Divine Origin, had been defeated by him head-on, so naturally, Bai Feng couldn’t confront Qing Yu directly.

Retreating with a drifting motion, Bai Feng dissipated Qing Yu’s palm force and disappeared without a trace once again. This time, even faster.

Seeing this, Qing Yu’s lips curved with a slight smile, and his figure flickered as he pursued in competition.

Suddenly, Bai Feng’s figure wavered, transforming into six separate images, floating uncertainly in mid-air, shifting left and right.

Phoenix Dance Six Illusions.

Bai Feng’s Qinggong had reached great success, instantly creating six illusions, and with his speed, he could use falsity as reality, switching between the six images in an instant.

At first glance, this move seemed less impressive than Qing Yu’s "Light Transformation," which could only create six illusions at most. But Qing Yu’s "Light Transformation" could turn one into seven, enough to deploy the "Heavenly Gang Beidou Formation" single-handedly.

However, in terms of speed, Qing Yu’s "Light Transformation" was not as fast as Bai Feng’s "Phoenix Dance Six Illusions."

Bai Feng’s "Phoenix Dance Six Illusions" were purely based on speed to create the six images. Meanwhile, Qing Yu’s "Light Transformation" involved illusion techniques to create that many images; otherwise, it wouldn’t be called "Light Transformation."

Comparing the two, the former relied on pure speed, while the latter was more of a deception.

Nonetheless, being slightly slower didn’t mean Qing Yu couldn’t break the "Phoenix Dance Six Illusions." The eyesight of his Void Eye was fully capable of seeing through the movements of Bai Feng and the reality behind the "Phoenix Dance Six Illusions."

With "Eternal Brightness" unsheathed, Qing Yu ignored the figure attacking head-on and slashed towards a somewhat blurry side image that seemed like an illusion.

"Ting—"

A light sound rang out, Qing Yu’s eyesight was accurate, and "Eternal Brightness" indeed hit the real Bai Feng, only for the sword edge to be blocked by the Feather Blade at the edge of the palm.

Increasing the output of True Qi, but Bai Feng’s guts were truly extraordinary. With a step of his right foot, he leaped up lightly, spinning to place his right foot near the tip of the blade, using the rotation’s momentum, his left foot whipped towards Qing Yu’s head.

"That won’t do, although I don’t make a living with my face, I still can’t let you ruin my handsome looks."

With a teasing smile, Qing Yu tilted his head slightly, his left palm carrying immense power, imprinting against Bai Feng’s foot and sending him flying.

Swinging his sword to scatter Sword Qi, chasing after Bai Feng in the air, but Bai Feng subtly adjusted his figure continually, darting past each attack.

"You know, as you’ve seen, my Martial Arts are beyond what you can contend with, so why not stretch out your neck? Maybe, for the sake of you being as handsome as me, I’ll grant you a quick end."

It must be said, Bai Feng had a nonchalant air about him, causing even Qing Yu to utter teasing laughter amid the fight.

"In terms of Martial Arts, indeed you are stronger, but in terms of Qinggong, you are no match for me," finally Bai Feng spoke up."Qinggong doesn’t represent all Martial Arts, but speed decides the distance between you and me. If you can’t close this distance, you’ll never be able to kill me."

"Tsk," Qing Yu clicked his tongue.

It had to be said that the Qin Dynasty could become popular in Qing Yu’s previous life not just for its attractive character models and fashion that was two thousand years ahead, but also for countless high-status catchphrases.

Bai Feng’s sentence was one of those classic lines, highlighting the lofty status of Qinggong masters.

However, if it came to status, Qing Yu, who was well-versed in rhetoric, wasn’t incapable of some verbal sparring himself.

"Indeed, Qinggong doesn’t represent the entirety of Martial Arts, because it is just one part of Martial Arts. Thus, the gap in speed can also be bridged by Martial Arts."

No sooner had he spoken than his figure flickered, Qing Yu approached Bai Feng with extreme speed.

However, such speed naturally wouldn’t catch Bai Feng off guard. "Eternal Brightness" swept through an illusion, while the real Bai Feng had already left his original spot.
