Laughing loudly, crying bitterly, both crying and laughing, filled with gratitude...
Suddenly, soone rushed towards the mayor in the crowd.
In these years, others might have been forced by circumstances, but the mayor and his people were complicit with the villains.
In no ti, the mayor was beaten bloody, a miserable sight.
After venting solidly for a while, the crowd finally cald down.
The butcher ca to Chu Qing, solemnly placing a copper coin into Chu Qing’s hand.
Then he knelt on the ground and kowtowed:
"Young hero’s great kindness is beyond repaynt, even with ten thousand deaths!!"
Others also knelt and kowtowed one after another.
Chu Qing did not stop them, just gently waved his hand:
"Alright, I retrieved so treasures from Yinfeng Stronghold; share them among yourselves.
"From now on... just live well."
In these years, under the coercion of Yinfeng Stronghold, they had also stained their hands with blood, sending innocent people into the tiger’s den of Yinfeng Stronghold.
Chu Qing could not forgive those people on their behalf, but to pursue... the real culprit, Yinfeng Stronghold, had already been annihilated by him.
From the top down, not a single soul survived.
What more could be gained by pursuing these people?
They were like specks of dust in a torrential current, easily manipulated, unable to control their destiny or decide anything.
Now that freedom was at hand, just... live well.
Later, Chu Qing released those in the dungeon, except for that burrowing rat, Luo Wu; Chu Qing couldn’t let him off easily.
However, knowing that Luo Wu hadn’t committed any serious cris but enjoyed petty theft, Chu Qing devised a small trick, deceiving him into eating poison. If he dared steal again, the poison would activate and kill him; if he turned over a new leaf, he could seek an antidote from the Qin Family of Heaven and Earth Saber.
Luo Wu believed him without doubt, swore to reform, and only then did Chu Qing release him.
That night, the three of them stayed at an inn in the town.
Sitting on the bed, thinking about the affairs of the small town, clutching the copper coin in his hand, after a long ti, he sighed, tucked the coin into his waistband, and kept it safely.
Then he opened the system interface.
[One unopened Martial Arts Treasure Chest, would you like to open it?]
"Open it."
Every ti he opened a Martial Arts Treasure Chest, Chu Qing rubbed his hands subconsciously.
He wondered what kind of martial arts he would uncover.
[Opening successful, obtained Palm Technique: Bone-Softening Palm!]
"Palm Technique?"
Chu Qing wasn’t surprised, after all, with a Random Martial Arts Treasure Chest, anything could co out.
He just didn’t expect it to be this Palm Technique.
This was an extrely sinister Palm Technique.
The person hit doesn’t feel anything initially, but when the Palm Force takes effect, their bones turn as soft as cotton, breaking inch by inch, damaging the internal organs without a cure.
Instantly, Chu Qing felt a strange movent in his ridians.
His palms were faintly scorching hot.
Simultaneously, the Qi Circulation Technique and its techniques poured into his mind.
Once he’d digested all this, a slight smile appeared at the corner of Chu Qing’s mouth, feeling that this martial art unexpectedly suited his identity as an assassin.
With his current power, he could easily strike soone with a palm, making them feel as if they were only touched lightly.
Only after he’d long left would the Palm Force take effect.
They would die without knowing how they died.
Chu Qing organized the essential points of the Palm Technique in his mind but also thought of the Cyan Void Palm.
Cyan Void Palm is grand and vigorous, extrely forceful with each strike, with Chu Yunfei and Chu Tian’s cultivation, each strike forms a wall of air.
If he could integrate the Bone-Softening Palm’s force into this Palm Wind.
Forming a Sky-Cracking Palm Force.
Although it might not be useful in direct combat, it could surely kill soone without a trace.
But to achieve this seems not easy.
Feeling motivated, Chu Qing decided not to sleep, stood up to practice and ponder.
Thus, the night passed, and by the next morning, although Chu Qing couldn’t yet integrate the Palm Wind to the extent of ’sending the unhappy sting of death without knowledge,’ he could preliminarily rge it into the forceful Palm Wind of the Cyan Void Palm.
Forming a trendous Sky-Cracking Palm Force.
And because of the differences in the Form and Qi Technique, this Palm Technique now had more distinctions from the original Cyan Void Palm.
Even if perford in public, it would be hard to discern its origin.
Amidst his considerations, he heard a knock on the door.
Chu Qing went to open the door, only to see Gentle standing there silently, expressionlessly looking at him:
"Third Brother, it’s ti to set out."
Chu Qing looked at her pretty face, yet devoid of expression, and suddenly couldn’t help but say:
"Why don’t you try smiling when you speak?"
A hint of confusion appeared in Gentle’s eyes:
"Why?"
"A smile can bring joy to oneself and others... Shall we give it a try?"
Chu Qing tried to speak, feeling this young lady seed so cold, probably not easy to marry off in the future.
Saving her once casually, and she wants to repay him with her life.
Such an attitude leaves one prone to deceit.
Gentle gave Chu Qing a perplexed look, then shook her head:
"No."
Chu Qing then raised his hand to his mouth corner, gently pulling it upwards:
"How about like this?"
Gentle was eager to learn, mimicking by pulling up her own mouth corner.
However, the young girl was a bit excessive with her hand, smiling too broadly.
Showing the teeth at the back, her whole face resembled that of soone from Gotham City, her once bright eyes now a narrow slit, expressionless with a cold glare in her eyes...
The smile sent shivers down one’s spine.
"That’s enough!"
Chu Qing hurriedly pressed her hand down:
"It’s my fault for making such inappropriate requests... Better to just remain as you were."
If she keeps smiling like that, let alone getting married.
Those scared off are considered lucky.
Gentle shot a curious glance at Chu Qing as if seeing sothing strange, then turned to leave.
Chu Qing tidied up and followed her out.
The innkeeper saw them co down and quickly approached:
"Breakfast is ready, won’t you stay a few more days?
"Allow us to show so hospitality."
Chu Qing waved his hand:
"No need, we still have matters to attend to, not convenient to linger here."
The innkeeper felt regretful but didn’t dare to insist.
Inside, Jiang Divine Saber had been up already.
With chains on him, he carefully nestled food into his mouth.
The opening on his iron mask was small, making eating cumberso.
Upon hearing Chu Qing and Gentle, he waved them over:
"Co, co, the porridge here is very good, have so."
Chu Qing glanced at his iron mask:
"Does Senior need a place to remove this iron mask?"
"Perhaps, but there seems to be no blacksmith here, let’s wait until reaching Divine Blade City where Divine Blade Hall is."
Jiang Divine Saber hesitated, then said:
"But could you first help remove these chains on my scapula?
"These things restrict , leaving powerless, quite uncomfortable."
Chu Qing looked at the iron locks entrenched in flesh and bones, grown and stuck together.
Pulling them off might tear off a big chunk of flesh.
Finally, he suggested:
"Maybe we should wait until Divine Blade City?"
"Fine, fine."
Jiang Divine Saber nodded, helpless.
Without further words, the three finished their al and set off.
The townsfolk escorted them out, all the way two or three miles beyond town, reluctant to return.
So Chu Qing waved, grabbed Jiang Divine Saber, and took Gentle with him, using Lightweight Technique to leave.
They can’t practice martial arts and can’t keep up, only able to watch their figures vanish.
This journey lasted another two days without trouble, mostly due to Jiang Divine Saber slowing them down.
As they approached Divine Blade City, more Martial World travelers bearing swords and sabers appeared.
Many were well-known figures, and so were martial world drifters unknown.
Clearly drawn by the global First Grade Conference.
At noon one day, the trio finally entered Divine Blade City.
The city gates were wide open, welcoming guests from all directions.
Different from other places under Divine Blade Hall, these streets were narrow and bustling with dense crowds, quite lively.
After a couple of steps, Gentle suddenly tugged on Chu Qing’s sleeve, pointing to a nearby restaurant:
"How about we go there?"
After she spoke, she tugged her mouth corners into a smile, revealing the back teeth.
Seemingly worried Chu Qing might decline, trying to persuade him with smiles...
