Chapter 266: Chapter 78: Victory (Extra Chapter for recommendation ticket)

It must be said that Zhu Wushi, when he burst forth with all his might, might well be described as "terrifying".

Such a horrifying sight really should not have come from the hands of a Martial Artist in the Innate Realm.

"Release!"

Thrown into the air, a spherical object composed of wood, stones, metal, and tiles was pressed by True Qi toward Qing Yu, who was about to land in the square.

In fact, given Qing Yu’s speed, he could have escaped the range of this Martial Arts version of "Earth Bursting Star." However, at this moment, Qing Yu didn’t believe that fleeing was a good option.

This ball looked big and terrifying, but without True Qi enhancement, Qing Yu wouldn’t necessarily be killed by these building materials.

Therefore, attacking was the best option at this time.

"Outer Heaven Flying Immortal."

For the first time, with a downward strike, the domineering Sword Qi slashed across the large sphere, quickly charging toward Zhu Wushi, who was falling.

"Zhu Wushi, you are too arrogant."

The elusive figure solidified in front of Zhu Wushi, unfolding the extreme dominance of "Outer Heaven Flying Immortal."

"Don’t even think about it."

Zhu Wushi naturally wouldn’t just wait to die; his hands shaped like claws, and between them, Infinite True Qi boiled, pressing down fiercely on the unadorned Treasure Sword that was stabbing toward him.

"I told you, you are too arrogant."

Having long relied on overpowering his enemies with his strength and rolling over them with his True Qi advantage, Zhu Wushi seemed to have forgotten that although his True Qi was far greater than that of ordinary people, his energy recovery rate was still within the range of an ordinary person.

In his prime, "Eternal Brightness" wouldn’t just be clamped by True Qi, Zhu Wushi could even forcibly seize the long sword.

But now...

"Zing—"

With a sound of a sword’s cry, "Eternal Brightness" lengthened by three inches out of thin air, stabbing into Zhu Wushi’s chest.

This was not because "Eternal Brightness" had a mechanism of its own but because Zhu Wushi, although he had suppressed the long sword, had failed to protect himself from the Sword Qi upon the blade.

If this was in his prime, Zhu Wushi could have forcibly eroded the Sword Qi.

But now, he couldn’t.

"I order you to die."

Zhu Wushi was furious, his True Qi suddenly bursting forth, pushing the sword momentum that was close to Qing Yu toward the ground.

"It’s not that easy!" Qing Yu’s face suddenly took on a sinister blood-red hue as the "Blood Sacrifice to Heaven" of the Cangsheng Sect, a Forbidden Technique usually reserved for subordinates, manifested upon him.

The dramatically increased True Qi surged into "Eternal Brightness," the Sword Light blazing brightly, breaking through Zhu Wushi’s True Qi blockage, and the true blade stabbed into the chest.

"Let’s go down together." Grasping "Eternal Brightness" with one hand and tightly seizing one of Zhu Wushi’s hands with the other, he pulled him down toward the ground together.

"Damn it." Zhu Wushi certainly didn’t want to cushion his enemy’s fall, and with his free hand, he turned and struck a "Flying Phoenix Heart Piercing Palm" from the Emei Sect toward Qing Yu’s heart.

Qing Yu naturally wouldn’t let him just attack. Even if he was an ordinary person, even at the Innate Nine Layers, he couldn’t penetrate the dual protection brought by Qing Yu’s "Innate Gang Qi" and "Dragon Elephant Wisdom." However, Zhu Wushi was no ordinary man.

With hundreds of years of True Qi at his side, even "Ancestor Long Fist" in Zhu Wushi’s hands could crush the "Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms."

The fall was swift, and at this moment, they were only a few blinks away from the ground. Qing Yu rotated the sword handle with the right hand holding "Eternal Brightness," a sharp pain sweeping across Zhu Wushi’s body, causing his True Qi to pause involuntarily.

Qing Yu wanted to secure Zhu Wushi, and the two rotated together, attempting to execute the legendary "Inner Lotus" maneuver. Alas, this move seemed impossible to spin without leverage in mid-air, and though Qing Yu vigorously pumped his True Qi, he managed only a half-turn, and they were about to hit the ground.

Qing Yu, left with no choice, gave up on the tempting thought of making Zhu Wushi spin and plummet headfirst like a drilling onion, released his hands, and with simultaneous force, his double palms struck the sword handle of "Eternal Brightness."

"Eternal Brightness" pierced through Zhu Wushi and flew off into the distance. The residual power from those double palms sent Zhu Wushi flying sideways for several tens of meters.

"Boom—"

"Boom—"

Two earth-shaking sounds followed by two much fainter sounds of spitting blood.

Lying in the crater his body had created, Qing Yu felt as if all his internal organs had shifted places. If it weren’t for the high suppression of injuries that came with using "Blood Sacrifice to Heaven," he feared that he might already be dead from vomiting blood.

"It really saved my life, this Forbidden Technique."

At this moment, Qing Yu couldn’t help but give himself a nod of approval for decisively using "Blood Sacrifice to Heaven." Without it, he surmised he would’ve found it very difficult to rise.

Struggling to his feet, Qing Yu guessed that Zhu Wushi was likely too seriously injured to recover, and that going in for a finishing move would be wise.

However, upon getting up, he saw Zhu Wushi doing the same.

"This ’Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique,’ I’ve mastered it for twenty years and never used it before. Even in the great battle against Gu Santong, I never resorted to this Forbidden Technique. Lad, you should feel honored."

Immense True Qi emerged again, Zhu Wushi’s gait slightly tottering, but with each step leaving a deep footprint as he moved toward Qing Yu.

Great, it’s all because of that ’Absorption Technique.’

"The Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique," a well-known Forbidden Technique, Qing Yu was of course aware of it.

"You should feel honored as well, forcing me to use a Forbidden Technique."

Qing Yu once again activated "Blood Sacrifice to Heaven," burning all his essence blood nearly to exhaustion, turning it entirely into True Qi. Having cultivated the Body Refining Techniques like "Dragon Elephant Wisdom," his essence blood was much more abundant than others, yielding a correspondingly greater amount of True Qi.

But the consequence of doing so was his hair turning stark white, his face losing its luster, and faint wrinkles becoming visible. The death knell would ring after the Forbidden Technique.

Both parties were using Forbidden Techniques for their final showdown.

"Pure Yang Finger." For the last fight, Zhu Wushi resorted to the Martial Arts he knew best, the "Pure Yang Finger" that had vanquished Gu Santong twenty years ago.

And for Qing Yu, naturally, it was "Outer Heaven Flying Immortal."

Once again, he leaped into the air, forming a sword with his fingers, conjuring a Qi Sword, unleashing the ultimate move of Sword Dao.

The ethereal "Outer Heaven Flying Immortal," at this moment, seemed to carry with it Qing Yu’s own intent to die, his Sword Light slanting downwards, wispy and insubstantial, lacking the usual overbearing Sword Qi, but rather exuding an extreme indifference and calm.

Within this calm, however, was an aura of death, even more domineering.

This sword didn’t resemble that of a flying immortal but rather that of a Death God.

"Hiss—"

His boiling True Qi made his blood exceptionally forceful; blood spurted from his neck like a fountain, toppling his decapitated head into the air.

Zhu Wushi’s head, tossed into the sky, bore an expression of disbelief until death.

Behind the headless body, Qing Yu propped himself up with the Sword Box on his back, preventing his drained body from collapsing.

"Sorry, ’Pure Yang Finger’ is something I’ve long since seen through."

He couldn’t even remember how many times he had been killed by "Pure Yang Finger," a Martial Arts that had accompanied Qing Yu throughout his entire process of realizing the "Heavenly Son’s Qi Observation Skill."

Thus, Qing Yu’s eyes naturally didn’t overlook this Martial Arts.

In the end, Qing Yu sidestepped the "Pure Yang Finger," changing a stab to a slice, his Qi Sword decapitating Zhu Wushi, securing him the final victory.

"Now comes the time to reap the fruits of victory, hahaha..."
