Longevity Begins With Gu Refining

Chapter 72: A Bloody Battle!

The lightning struck Chen Qing's chest, charring the front of his black robe. He was sent flying by the lightning, crashing into a house.

Chen Qing threw away the beam on top of him amidst the rubble and wood, the lightning on his body seeping into the ground through his feet.

He felt numb before, but now, he couldn't feel anything!

While no one could see him, he threw a middle grade spirit stone into his mouth and swallowed it. His body was filled with spirit energy again!

He glanced at the distant battlefield. Without Qiu Lie holding them back, Carefree Mountain had turned the tide and gained the upper hand.

As long as he dealt with Qiu Lie, senior brother and the rest could retreat safely.

He stomped on the ground and flew out like an arrow, aiming for Qiu Lie's chest.

Bam!

Qiu Lie raised his numb right hand and blocked the attack with difficulty. The web between his thumb and index finger was split open, blood dripping down the sword hilt.

Chen Qing observed Qiu Lie's gaze, it was still firm and persistent.

Are you trying to drag me to death with the rain Gu?

What a pity, I have the snake Gu to replenish my spirit energy.

Chen Qing didn't believe the rain Gu could absorb spirit energy faster than his snake Gu could devour spirit stones!

In the blink of an eye, the two had already exchanged over fifty blows.

Qiu Lie was indeed an experienced swordsman, his sword skills were far superior to Chen Qing's. But fortunately, Chen Qing relied on the speed of the seven rank wind butterfly to deal with him easily.

As they continued to exchange blows, Chen Qing could feel his sword skills improving rapidly. This was something he couldn't feel when he sparred with Yu Qing Shuang before.

Right now, Chen Qing's body was brimming with spirit energy, he needed to vent it.

The spirit energy in middle grade spirit stones was overbearing.

Thus, he threw his geng metal sword at Qiu Lie. An even thicker and longer geng metal sword appeared in his hand.

Chen Qing swung his sword again. Qiu Lie, whose right arm was bleeding, was sent flying by Chen Qing's sword, crashing into three small buildings.

Chen Qing chased after him and slashed three more times, causing Qiu Lie's legs to sink into the ground!

The Gengjin Sword in his hand continued to descend, as if he was playing whack-a-mole, forcing Qiu Lie down.

Qiu Lie's entire body was bombarded by the power of the Geng Metal Sword. With a cracking sound, Qiu Lie's right hand was actually split apart by Chen Qing's attack!

Qiu Lie's internal organs were injured, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Qiu Lie didn't panic. Instead, he laughed. "Let's fight. Let's see if it's you who kills me or I who kills you!"

"Just an arrow at the end of its flight!"

Chen Qing looked on coldly. "Heh, a stray dog dares to bark wildly in front of me!"

Qiu Lie's body emitted bursts of green light, and his severed arm began to heal.

Qiu Lie turned into mist and dodged Chen Qing's sword. He then fled into the distance. Chen Qing stepped forward, crushing a pavilion with each step as he chased after Qiu Lie.

Qiu Lie sprinted and leaped to the top of the city wall. Just as he was about to leap away, he heard a gust of wind behind him.

He wielded his sword with his left hand and swung it at Chen Qing's sword. His entire body was sent flying by Chen Qing, crashing into the city wall and shattering a section of it.

Seeing Chen Qing's sword coming at him again, he immediately turned into mist and fled into the distance.

However, in front of the Nine Turns Wind Butterfly, his speed was nothing but a joke.

After flying for dozens of feet and coughing up blood from Chen Qing's sword, Qiu Lie said helplessly, "How much did Huang Shengluan pay you? I'll pay you double!"

The man in front of him had fought with him for so long in the rain, yet the spiritual energy in his body was still endless. In fact, the more he fought, the more ferocious it became.

Chen Qing didn't care. "I'm here today to take your life!"

"What other moves do you have, quickly use them!"

Qiu Lie's gaze dimmed, five black shadows flew out from behind him towards Chen Qing.

Chen Qing took a glance and recognized them. "Five ghosts Gu?"

The five ghosts above his head bared their fangs and claws, but Chen Qing did not care, charging forward and slashing at Qiu Lie again, causing Qiu Lie's left arm to soften.

The five ghosts landed on Chen Qing's body, biting and clawing, but only the sound of metal clashing could be heard!

Chen Qing felt this ticklish attack, laughing: "No wonder I was wondering why a twenty-seven year ascetic like you was so weak and had so few moves."

"So it was because I countered them!"

These five ghosts were formless, they could only be repelled by lightning or fire spells. They were similar to the sword ghosts, ordinary cultivators would find it hard to deal with them!

But now that he had met Chen Qing, it was completely useless!

"Since that is the case, you should die too!"

Chen Qing immediately used the Wall Passing Technique on Qiu Lie, appearing behind him and slashing down with his sword.

Qiu Lie's arms were already broken, and he had already used the fog Gu, he could only summon the five ghosts to block the attack.

But how could these formless five ghosts block the geng metal sword?

Swish!

Qiu Lie was split into two by Chen Qing, who chased after him and pierced through his head.

The surrounding rain slowed down, it was no longer as continuous as before.

He waved his hand, large amounts of spirit energy surged out, capturing the three escaping Gu worms.

Sword Gu, rain Gu, and a five ghosts Gu.

This five ghosts Gu could be sold for a good price.

This type of Gu worm was the most valuable because it was extremely rare, as long as one contracted it, their battle strength would increase instantly, and they were extremely effective against low level cultivators.

But it was not very useful to Chen Qing, he had no interest in contracting a Gu worm with a short lifespan, and even nurturing it to high rank.

Returning to the city, those Lotus Flower Cave disciples saw the sword dripping with blood in Chen Qing's hand, they understood everything.

Qiu Lie was definitely dead!

Lotus Flower Fairy shouted: "No, my father cultivated for twenty-seven years, how can he not be your match?"

More and more tears of blood flowed from her eyes. Ye Yuntian's sword had stabbed her in the abdomen.

With a flash step, Chen Qing arrived in front of the Lotus Fairy in three steps. Then, a domineering sword descended upon her.

She was already being besieged by two people and the spirit energy in her body was insufficient. How could she withstand Chen Qing's ferocious Geng Metal Sword?

With just one strike, Chen Qing had beheaded the Lotus Fairy!

Fresh blood splattered all over Chen Qing's body. He turned around and charged towards the other Lotus Flower Cave survivors. With a slash of his sword, he tore apart the corpse of a Lotus Flower Cave disciple that Shen Ao had just forced to retreat.

Blood rained down.

Chen Qing activated rank nine wind Gu with all his strength, his body moved in the rain as he killed a Lotus Flower Cave disciple with one slash.

These ordinary sixth and seventh level Qi Refinement cultivators, with Gu worms that hadn't transformed into butterflies, had no power to fight back at all.

After a short period of 30 breaths of time, Chen Qing stood amidst the dismembered corpses on the ground, put away the Seventhgold Sword in his hand, and allowed the rainwater to wash away the blood on his body.

Turning around, he saw that Ye Yuntian and the rest were all injured. Two Carefree Mountain disciples were heavily injured, lying on the ground.

But this was not something he could care about now.

It was time to leave.

He turned around and jumped onto the roof, turning into mist and disappearing into the night.
