Chapter 44 The Primordial Chaos True Skill Displays Its Power for the First Time: One Sword Slays Three Top-Tier Martial Artists

"not good!"

Fang Qinghua's expression changed drastically.

If the opponent cultivates an ancient technique that can integrate the power of many forces, then the internal force attack that is unleashed will be the same.

As the sword's edge drew near, Fang Qinghua felt every hair on his body stand on end; he sensed an unprecedented sense of crisis.

He instantly mobilized all his strength, even directly activating a secret technique. His blood and internal energy burned, increasing his power several times over. He swung his longsword, unleashing a streak of sword light to meet the attack.

At the same time, Ye Tianxing and Mo Tianlin also unleashed terrifying sword light, soaring into the sky as if to tear the heavens apart.

But it's no use.

Although these three sword beams were terrifying, they were like eggs hitting a rock when they encountered the sword beam unleashed by Zhou Qing.

With a crisp "crack," the sword light unleashed by Fang Qinghua and his two companions was instantly torn apart and shattered by a terrifying force.

The sword beams of the three of them transformed into a shower of light.

Zhou Qing's Hunyuan Sword Light continued its relentless advance, piercing towards the three of them.

"This is impossible!"

Fang Qinghua and the other two were all deathly pale.

They never expected their all-out attack to be so easily defeated, lasting not even a moment.

The sword light arrived in an instant, like lightning.

They tried to escape, but it was too late.

"No!"

Fang Qinghua, Mo Tianlin, and Ye Tianxing, three top-tier martial artists, all let out desperate shouts. Facing death, their eyes were filled with terror and resentment.

As top-tier martial artists, they enjoy a great reputation in the martial arts world and have already mastered the rudiments of sword intent. It can be said that they have one foot in the Grandmaster realm.

As long as you don't encounter a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm, even if you fight against a top-tier martial artist who has also mastered the rudiments of the Intent Realm, even if you are fighting two against one, at most you will be defeated.

It's not difficult to save your life.

However, they encountered Zhou Qing, a prodigy who cultivated the Hunyuan True Skill. Although he did not break through to the Innate Realm, he was able to challenge the Innate Realm.

While top-tier martial artists who grasp the rudiments of intent can, to some extent, withstand the intent attacks of innate grandmasters, they cannot withstand innate true qi.

Compared to innate true energy, acquired internal strength is like an egg hitting a rock.

Their internal strength cannot compare with innate true qi, but Zhou Qing's mixed internal strength is not much different from innate true qi, and can truly challenge innate true qi.

Therefore, for Fang Qinghua and the other two, facing Zhou Qing was not much different from facing a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm.

Whoosh!

In an instant, the Hunyuan Sword's light pierced through their foreheads, leaving fist-sized holes in their heads.

The three top-tier martial artists who had grasped the rudiments of sword intent were killed by Zhou Qing with a single sword strike before they could even utter a scream, and perished completely.

Zhou Qing immediately stepped forward and quickly touched the corpse.

"The Divine Intent of the Sword!"

Zhou Qing took a scroll from Ye Tianxing of Cangjian Villa. He opened it and glanced at it, confirming that it was indeed the Divine Intent of Sword Dao.

He put away his sword divine intent and continued looting the corpse.

Besides the Divine Intent of Sword Dao, Ye Tianxing also had tens of thousands of taels of silver notes, while Mo Tianlin and Fang Qinghua had even more.

After all, they were both vying for the Divine Sword Dao Diagram, and in the end, the Hidden Sword Manor won the bid, so naturally, they hadn't spent their silver notes. The two of them together had over a million silver notes.

Each one has a face value of ten thousand taels.

Besides Fang Qinghua and the other two, there were also more than a dozen first-class martial artists who were killed, and Zhou Qing also looted their corpses one by one.

Although these people didn't have any precious treasures on them, their silver notes totaled several hundred thousand taels.

With this wealth...

For a long time to come, Zhou Qing will not have to worry about money.

After putting away the divine will and the silver notes, Zhou Qing quickly left.

Because Fang Qinghua and his two companions cleared the area, they were killed by Zhou Qing. It was quite some time before someone passing by discovered their bodies.

"This is... Ye Tianxing, the master of Hidden Sword Manor."

"That's right, Fang Qinghua, a true disciple of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, and Mo Tianlin, the sword fanatic ranked eleventh on the Human Ranking. They're both dead."

Several martial arts practitioners passing by exclaimed in surprise.

"How is this possible? Ye Tianxing, Mo Tianlin, and Fang Qinghua, all three of them are top-tier martial artists who have mastered the rudiments of sword intent. They are incredibly powerful. How could they die here?"

One of the martial artists said incredulously.

"Judging from the wounds, the three were killed by the same person."

"Who could possess such power to kill Ye Tianxing and his two companions? Could it be that a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm intervened?"

"Besides a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm, who else could have the strength to kill Ye Tianxing and his two companions? I just don't know which Grandmaster made the move."

"Since it's a grandmaster making a move, he definitely won't leave any survivors."

"..."

The group of martial artists were all shocked when they saw the corpse on the ground.

Ye Tianxing and the other two were all top-tier martial artists who had mastered the rudiments of sword intent. In their eyes, the only one who could kill them at the same time was a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm.

The imperial court and the martial arts world have always been at odds, but they have jointly issued a rule that innate grandmasters are forbidden from attacking acquired martial artists. Once discovered, they will become the common enemy of the entire martial arts world and the imperial court.

Therefore, if a master of the Innate Realm were to actually attack a martial artist of the Acquired Realm, they would either conceal their identity or leave no survivors.

If their identity is exposed, they will be hunted down by both the imperial court and the martial arts world.

Of course, if a martial artist who has acquired martial arts skills provokes a master of innate martial arts skills, then it is their own fault to be killed. The reason why the imperial court and the top forces in the martial arts world set this rule is to prevent masters of innate martial arts skills from wantonly slaughtering geniuses.

There are no rules; it's a matter of you killing me today and me killing you tomorrow.

Then the geniuses of all the major forces no longer need to leave their mountain gates to train. They can stay at home every day and bury themselves in hard work until they reach the Innate Realm before going out.

As the news spread.

The Eagle Wolf Guard of Yuanzhou City also sent people to collect the bodies of Fang Qinghua and the other two. The White Wolf Commander of the Eagle Wolf Guard personally examined the injuries of the three.

Ye Tianxing and Mo Tianlin are one thing.

The Hidden Sword Manor is deserted, and Mo Tianlin is just a rogue cultivator with some minor opportunities. However, Fang Qinghua is different. He is a true disciple of the Myriad Swords Sect, and his master is a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm. Now that he has died outside Yuanzhou City, if this matter is not handled properly, it may cause unnecessary trouble.

The Myriad Swords Sect is a top-tier force with a history of over a thousand years. Although it currently lacks a Grandmaster, it has produced Grandmasters in the past, and more than one at that. The sect also possesses Grandmaster-level spiritual weapons.

Although the Eagle Wolf Guard is not afraid of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, it is better to avoid trouble, especially given the current turbulent situation and the rampant chaos caused by the Fire Worship Sect. It is not advisable to make enemies with the major sects.

“This power is not innate true qi.” Wang Cheng, the White Wolf Town Commander, examined the injuries of Fang Qinghua and the other two, then frowned slightly and muttered to himself, “This is a fusion of multiple internal energies, yet there is no conflict between them. The cultivation technique this person is practicing is an ancient technique?”
