Chapter 194: Dao Seal Condenses! Death and Darkness Descend!
Chapter 194: Dao Seal Condenses! Death and Darkness Descend!
Su Changqing and Zhao Cheng shouted in unison, and a powerful aura of the King Realm suddenly erupted around them.
They both clenched their fists and formed intricate hand seals, and a boundless silver glow emerged from their fists.
Zhao Cheng burned his life force, using his final moments to guide Su Changqing's rapid advancement.
"Junior Brother, pay close attention. This is all I can teach you," Zhao Cheng said gently.
Su Changqing's eyes filled with indescribable sorrow as he heard Zhao Cheng's words.
But at this moment, he was completely immersed in the execution of his fist technique, more focused than ever before.
He didn't want to disappoint his senior brother's sincere intentions.
"Hahaha!"
At this moment, Liu Qing seemed to be in a state of madness, and the rampant aura of the King Realm filled the heavens and earth.
"You were never my match, and now, in your current state, you are even less so!"
"I could break your bones before, and I still can today!"
"Die!"
Boom! Liu Qing roared and flipped his hand, brandishing a long saber and slashing down fiercely.
In an instant, a massive saber light hundreds of zhang long appeared, as if it could cleave through the sky, and it descended with a thunderous boom.
"The teacher once said, a martial artist's fist is their life, and their will should never retreat!"
"Sage Control First Move, Sacrifice Body!"
Zhao Cheng's powerful voice reverberated, and his fists slowly rose.
In an instant, a resolute fist intent surged into the sky, piercing through the heavens.
In this determined state of mind, even if a primordial divine mountain or an ancient great emperor stood before him, he would smash them with a single punch!
Zhao Cheng's movements were not fast, as if he wanted Su Changqing to observe more clearly.
With that overwhelming intent, he slowly executed a punch.
Boom! A burst of silver light filled the sky, forming a gigantic fist that seemed capable of shattering the heavens. It collided with the massive saber light.
In just an instant, the hundreds of zhang long saber light exploded, and the giant fist struck Liu Qing's body.
"Pfft!"
Liu Qing fell like a cannonball, his face filled with disbelief.
"Impossible! You were never my match, so how can you be so strong in your dying state?"
When that punch came, fear surged in his heart, and the saber light he swung became hesitant and weak.
"Junior Brother, did you understand?"
Zhao Cheng ignored Liu Qing and asked with a smile.
"The fist technique is not important; what matters is the fist intent!"
Enlightenment flashed in Su Changqing's eyes as he was deeply moved by the previous relentless exchange, where a single punch had the determination to end the opponent.
"A worthy disciple," Zhao Cheng praised.
"I'm asking you a question!"
"Ah, slash me!"
Liu Qing's hair was disheveled, resembling a madman. He brandished his long saber, unleashing thousands of slashes like a heavenly net, rushing towards Su Changqing.
"Supreme Sage Martial Fist, Intent Leads, Control Follows."
"Second Move, Sage Control Universe."
Zhao Cheng's voice echoed as if imparting a profound teaching, and the hand seals in his hands changed endlessly. With each transformation of the fist technique, countless silver glows erupted, forming a heavenly curtain of light.
Countless saber lights attacked, but they couldn't shake the light curtain even slightly.
As the net of saber lights descended, Su Changqing held a peculiar hand seal with both hands and instantly appeared in front of Liu Qing.
Boom! Like an ancient martial artist, his fist technique was powerful and expansive. Each fist seal struck Liu Qing, who was sent flying left and right like a punching bag.
Zhao Cheng's voice rang out from time to time, and Su Changqing's mastery of the fist technique visibly skyrocketed.
A profound silence filled the heavens and earth, and everyone stared in awe.
For the first time, they witnessed the concept of 'inheritance' taking a tangible form.
The senior brother sought revenge through the junior brother's hands, and the junior brother attained enlightenment through the senior brother's soul.
At this moment, Wu Jiuling stood in the sky, his eyes filled with both relief and sorrow, his emotions complex and unclear.
But Zhao Cheng was merely a lingering obsession, and after only a brief moment, he could no longer hold on.
"Junior Brother, watch closely for the final punch," Zhao Cheng said as he unleashed his fist intent, and boundless silver light converged at the tip of his fist.
"This punch is the Ultimate Martial Unification!"
This punch carried a terrifying aura, and its power was compressed into the fist's edge.
The endless silver glow gathered like a star, radiating a dazzling brilliance, and the overwhelming vibrations distorted space.
Boom! With a single punch, a blinding light shot out from Su Changqing's hand.
The light carved a path through the ground like a deep abyss, and the raging wind shattered all Dharmas and eliminated all evil!
"No!" Liu Qing screamed in boundless fear.
Sizzle! The star-like extreme light passed through his dantian in an instant, like a heavenly beam.
"Pfft!"
Liu Qing coughed up blood, his face filled with despair and defeat.
Zhao Cheng didn't kill him, but he crippled him.
Vibrating! At that moment, enlightenment reached its peak in Su Changqing's eyes, and a Dao Seal, as brilliant as the aurora, descended from the sky and merged into his forehead.
Finally, the Supreme Sage Martial Fist of the Heaven Rank had condensed its life Dao Seal!
"Very good.
Zhao Cheng's body turned ethereal, his eyes softening with warmth and relief as he looked at Su Changqing.
"Senior Brother, why didn't you kill him!" Su Changqing turned to Liu Qing, his voice cold as he spoke.
"Qing'er is still watching."
Zhao Cheng's body gradually disappeared, floating towards Liu Qing and gently caressing her sunken, ashen cheeks.
His eyes held a hint of reluctance and nostalgia as he gazed at the woman's face.
Tears welled up in the woman's eyes, and she reached out, wanting to touch Zhao Cheng before her.
But her palm passed right through the glowing aura.
The woman's expression turned frantic, and she sobbed in despair,
"Brother Cheng, don't go."
Zhao Cheng's body became even more translucent, and specks of light slowly vanished from his feet.
However, he paid no heed to it, instead gazing at the crazed woman before him with a tearful smile,
"If I had known it would harm you so, I should have never met you in the first place."
"Qing'er, I'm sorry."
Zhao Cheng's body dissipated completely, and he took one last reluctant glance at Liu Qing before looking up at the sky, where Wu Jiuling was, and smiled in farewell,
"Teacher, your disciple is leaving."
As his words fell, Zhao Cheng's body turned into specks of light that scattered in the wind.
Su Changqing turned away, his eyes slightly red. Above, Wu Jiuling reached out with one hand, his body trembling.
"Brother Cheng!"
"Brother Cheng!"
"Zhao Cheng! Come back, waaaaah!"
The woman let out a hysterical cry, frantically and desperately trying to grasp the fading light, but to no avail.
She came to her senses, recovering from the shock of Liu Cheng's appearance and disappearance.
But at this moment, she wished she could remain in her delusion, living in her own world, rather than facing the painful separation upon regaining consciousness.
"Why are you crying for him!"
"It's because of him that you've suffered so much, and it's because of him that the Liu family is in this state now!"
"He's just an ordinary, penniless boy. What's there to miss about him!"
Liu Qing struggled to sit up, his face contorting in rage as he shouted.
"Penniless boy?"
"Then do you know that this penniless boy once easily defeated you but willingly let you break every bone in his body?"
"Do you know that this penniless boy almost lost his life trying to save me?"
Liu Qing forced a bitter smile, "It's because of me that he suffered, dying young, his bones left unburied."
Hearing this, Liu Qing's eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at the pile of dry bones.
It turned out that Zhao Cheng had been holding back all along, even when Liu Qing humiliated him, he didn't fight back?
Liu Qing's mind shattered, and he laughed maniacally, pointing at Liu Qing,
"You're lying! This can't be true!"
"Everything is because of your stubbornness! The Liu family has nurtured you for years, providing you with fine clothes and luxurious living!"
"But when it was your turn to contribute, you threatened to take your own life, leading to the current situation! It's all because of you!"
Tears streamed down Liu Qing's face as she smiled bitterly in silence.
On one side was her father and brother, bound by filial piety.
On the other was her lover and the rest of her life, entangled in love.
No one understood her suffering, her struggles, nor her helplessness and despair.
Of course, there was once someone who did, but that person no longer existed.
"Senior Brother Changqing."
Liu Qing suddenly regained her composure, gently wiping away her tears, and looked at Su Changqing,
"Can you do me a favor?"
Su Changqing nodded complexly.
"Zhao Cheng told me about a sacred mountain in the north called Shengxue Peak, a place of purity and cleanliness, far from the world's impurities."
"We once promised to visit it together, but... we never got the chance."
A smile graced Liu Qing's face as she looked into the distance, and suddenly, a raging inferno engulfed her body.
Holding Zhao Cheng's dry bones, her eyes filled with tenderness, she spoke softly, "Senior Brother, please do me a favor and bury me and Zhao Cheng there in the future."
"I also want to see his hometown. Thank you."
The raging flames consumed Liu Qing and the pile of bones, without screams or wails, only the lingering, unending bond of love.
As the two turned to ashes, Su Changqing silently waved his wide sleeve, taking out a jade bottle and carefully placing the 'two' together.
"Shengxue Peak? I'll go there."
Su Changqing silently agreed, carefully placing the jade bottle into his storage ring.
"Hahaha! You deserve to die! You've harmed me and the Liu family to this state, you should've died long ago!"
Liu Qing's shrill, crazed laughter made Su Changqing look over expressionlessly.
"What... what are you doing!"
"Your senior brother said he wouldn't kill me!"
Sensing Su Changqing's murderous intent, Liu Qing instantly snapped out of her fear, retreating in terror.
Su Changqing didn't speak but instead stomped his foot, causing Liu Qing's long sword to fly out of her grasp.
He waved his wide sleeve, and the long sword pierced Liu Qing's chest with precision.
Facing Liu Qing's disbelieving gaze, Su Changqing spoke softly, "My senior brother didn't kill you, that's his decision."
"Since my senior brother and Liu Qing are gone, how can you live?"
Without a glance at Liu Qing, Su Changqing turned around and lightly stepped out of the courtyard.
The densely packed crowd outside fell silent, staring dumbfounded at the young man walking out.
No one expected that a mere youth would bring the Liu Clan to such a dire state.
They understood that from this day forward, the Liu Clan would likely be removed from the list of hidden clans.
"Hehe, hahaha!"
At this moment, Wu Jiuling's laughter suddenly echoed through the sky.
The sorrow and anger in his voice sent chills down everyone's spines, instilling fear in their hearts.
"Right and wrong no longer matter to me."
"My disciple has died. Today, I will protect my disciple's reincarnation with the blood of the entire Liu Clan!"
As his words fell, Wu Jiuling let out a furious roar.
"Heaven Splitting Axe, condense!"
Boom!
A heavenly array of divine light erupted, and a mysterious and aesthetically pleasing Heaven Splitting Axe appeared in Wu Jiuling's hand.
The rampaging aura of a Near-Emperor Peak filled the entire small world.
Without hesitation, Wu Jiuling raised his axe and slashed towards the Guest Hall of Longevity.
"Liu Tianming, come out and face your death!"
Boom!
The sky suddenly shattered, and the terrifying axe light seemed capable of splitting heaven and earth, carving deep ravines in the sky.
The entire Guest Hall of Longevity exploded, and the mighty beings from all corners of the world scattered like birds and beasts, hastily fleeing in fear.
At that moment, a terrifying aura erupted from the depths of the Liu Clan.
Buzz!
A verdant whip, radiating divine light, emerged, resembling a giant dragon winding through the sky and blocking the descending axe.
It was the Liu Clan's supreme divine weapon, the Emerald Divine Whip!
"Wu Jiuling, you fled like a stray dog back then because of the Emerald Divine Whip."
"But today, you've returned with a countermeasure."
Liu Tianming led the way, followed by the Liu Clan's elders. Above their heads, a whip shone with endless divine glow, winding like a giant dragon.
The supreme divine weapon had fully awakened, and its terrifying aura shook the heavens and earth. Every movement caused the world to wail and the void to shatter.
"Hmph, if I'm not prepared, what am I doing here?"
As his words fell, Wu Jiuling let out a fierce roar, "Bring the spear!"
Boom!
A spear, emitting profound black light like a black dragon, suddenly descended from the sky.
The terrifying aura rose boundlessly, causing large patches of the void to continuously shatter.
Even without anyone driving it, the spear's icy tip created cracks in the sky.
Everyone present felt their scalps go numb at the sight.
A supreme divine weapon!
A revived supreme divine weapon!
The clash of two fully awakened supreme divine weapons caused such a terrifying disturbance that it threatened to tear apart this world.
Without hesitation, everyone went crazy and fled towards the exit of the small world.
"Great Cang Spear!"
Liu Tianming's pupils narrowed slightly. "With such a treasure, even the Su Clan lent it to you."
Wu Jiuling's face remained calm, his eyes icy.
Since he had prepared to come, he wouldn't fight a battle he wasn't confident about winning.
When he learned that he was coming to bring Su Changqing to the Liu Clan, Su Nan didn't hesitate and immediately lent him the Great Cang Spear.
Only a supreme divine weapon could counter another.
Although Wu Jiuling had perfected his physical body, how many strikes could he endure? But with the support of a supreme divine weapon, it was a different story. Even though he couldn't unleash the full power of the Great Cang Spear, as long as he could restrain the Emerald Divine Whip, destroying the Liu Clan would be a simple task!
"There's no point in talking; kill!"
Wu Jiuling didn't waste words. As he roared, he raised his axe and brought it down.
The rampaging power of a Near-Emperor Peak erupted, aided by the boundless sharpness of the Heaven Splitting Axe, causing the heavens and earth to tremble.
In an instant, countless hideous cracks spread across the sky, and the earth sank.
The Liu Clan members finally panicked, collectively summoning the Emerald Divine Whip, but it was firmly blocked by the Great Cang Spear.
Meanwhile, Wu Jiuling's descending axe instantly killed many Liu Clan members, leaving the place in disarray with blood and flesh flying.
At this moment, Wu Jiuling was surrounded by life flame, holding the giant axe like an unstoppable god-demon, charging straight towards Liu Tianming.
"Today, the Liu Clan will be erased from the world!"
Wu Jiuling's booming voice echoed through the heavens and earth.
However, Liu Tianming's face showed no fear; instead, he burst into hearty laughter.
"Hahaha, you're right. From today, the Liu Clan will be unknown to the world."
"But this isn't because of you, Wu Jiuling!"
As his words fell, Liu Tianming's body suddenly radiated endless darkness, and profound demonic patterns spread from his neck.
An extremely evil aura enveloped the small world, and boundless pitch-black demonic energy rose from the shattered earth.
"Because..."
His demeanor changed drastically, and with a cold, sinister smile, Liu Tianming turned towards Wu Jiuling. "I chose to join the darkness!"
Boom!
In an instant, a giant black vortex, a thousand feet tall, appeared behind Liu Tianming.
Figure after figure, shrouded in darkness, stepped out, their terrifying auras shaking the heavens and earth.
This scene caused Wu Jiuling and everyone present to change their expressions drastically.
"The Dark Forbidden Zone has appeared!"
