Chapter 357 - 210: You Are Already Dead
This morning, a north wind suddenly arose, bringing with it a sky full of silver-white falling snow.
Chu Qing had been waiting for the monk on the roadside stone for half the night, and upon hearing Wuchen’s words, he nodded without hesitation:
"Yes."
"What business does the young benefactor have with this poor monk?"
Ghost Lamp Wuchen asked in puzzlement.
Chu Qing slightly exercised his somewhat stiff limbs and said softly:
"I’ve long heard that the ’Lamp-Burning Divine Skill’ is extraordinary, and the great monk is the only one in the world who has mastered this method.
"Last night, upon seeing the great monk, I wanted to seek some advice from the great monk.
"However, I have something to ask of the Yin Yang Hermit, and the great monk and the hermit have old ties, so speaking abruptly might cause some changes in the matter I need.
"Without any other option, I decided to wait here for you."
This statement was naturally untrue.
Listening to Wuchen’s narrative last night, Chu Qing felt that Chu Tian had done something very strange.
There might be answers in Beihu Town... but Beihu Town is indeed too far away.
Gentle is still waiting at Blazing Hall, and he really doesn’t have the option to delay the journey.
To be frank, what Chu Tian wants to do is to have Ghost Lamp Wuchen killed.
This point is not difficult for Chu Qing.
But last night, after specifically asking the Yin Yang Hermit, he learned that Wuchen’s notorious reputation has another mystery.
Thus, killing him rashly is not Chu Qing’s style.
He can be decisive in killing but will not kill an innocent person.
Therefore, after hesitating repeatedly, Chu Qing decided... not to let Wuchen speak for the time being.
At least until he figures out what Chu Tian intends to do, he cannot let Wuchen speak.
He must make sure Wuchen is like a dead person, unable to make a sound.
And the best way not to let Wuchen speak is to have Wuchen accompany him.
As for whether Wuchen is willing... this matter is not up to him.
Ghost Lamp Wuchen did not know what Chu Qing was thinking but could see that Chu Qing’s words were insincere.
He sighed softly:
"Does the poor monk and the young benefactor have any old grievances?"
"No."
"As for new enmity... that’s probably impossible too."
Ghost Lamp Wuchen squinted his eyes at Chu Qing:
"If that’s the case, it seems the young benefactor has come to find trouble with the poor monk... but does not know the young benefactor’s skill level?"
"Are you afraid?"
"Yes."
Ghost Lamp Wuchen nodded:
"The poor monk’s martial arts are not weak. If the young benefactor’s skills are mediocre, the poor monk fears that he might... beat the young benefactor to death."
His eyes showed sincerity, and this statement didn’t seem fake.
Chu Qing chuckled:
"You are indeed a kind-hearted monk.
"In that case, please let the great monk strike first. It is just right for the young one to witness the Vajra Sect’s secret technique."
As soon as his words fell, Wuchen already moved.
Fingers flowed like glowing fireflies, flickering the lonely lamp.
The ’Finger-Tapping Green Lamp’ move from the ’Lamp-Burning Divine Skill’—this Finger Technique seemed to have integrated the secret technique of the Vajra Sect, and when performed, a vague Dharma Aspect appeared behind him.
The Dharma Aspect and Wuchen simultaneously bent their fingers and pointed, and Chu Qing’s palm momentum shifted, with his left hand using Circular Strength and his right hand using Straight Stance.
It was not the ’Regretful Dragon’ from the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, but rather the move ’Seen the Dragon in the Field’.
This move received the momentum, directly confronting ’Finger-Tapping Green Lamp’.
As the dragon roar began, both moves fell into place, Cyan Flame Fire Strength and Dragon Form True Qi suddenly met, and the two forces were scattered in all directions instantaneously.
Wuchen’s gaze slightly turned profound; the ’Finger-Tapping Green Lamp’ was considered an extremely advanced martial art, originally thinking that the young Chu Qing, with this finger alone, would be enough to push him back.
Unexpectedly, as the move fell, Chu Qing remained unmoved.
Instead, both hands bent the index and middle fingers, right pushing and left hooking, instantly thrusting out using ’Seen the Dragon in the Field’, then converting to ’Don’t Use Hidden Dragon’!
Dragon-shaped Qi surged forth, swiftly reaching right before him.
Wuchen did not dodge, instead roaring out!
A Vajra Dharma Aspect immediately enveloped him.
Chu Qing’s palm momentum approached but seemed to hit a wall.
It was precisely the Vajra Sect’s secret technique ’Immovable Vajra’!
Luo Cheng, the second master of Divine Blade Hall, cultivated an extremely advanced Protective Divine Skill.
He had gathered the Eight Great Vajras under him, one of whom was named Li Mu, who had learned this martial art.
However, Li Mu’s cultivation was mediocre, and the so-called Eight Great Vajras were as insignificant as chickens and dogs before Chu Qing.
Yet, the Wuchen before him had refined this martial art to its pinnacle, the Vajra Dharma Aspect enveloping him, overall a scale larger than Wuchen, shining magnificently as if solidified!
Following his turn, he lunged forward.
Two figures exchanged moves amidst the flying snow.
This Ghost Lamp Wuchen’s martial arts are indeed extraordinary; he has mastered many martial arts from the Vajra Sect.
Using ’Immovable Vajra,’ ’Kashyapa Divine Fist,’ ’Demon-Subduing Vajra Palm,’ ’Kasaya Demon Suppression Divine Power,’ and other techniques in succession, each being a secret mastered diligently for decades.
Combined with his ’Lamp-Burning Divine Skill,’ fists and feet exchanged, occasionally bursting Cyan Flame Fire Strength, burning opponent’s meridians.
Moreover, the ’Lamp-Burning Divine Skill’ has the characteristic ’One Heart Lamp Unextinguished, Ten Thousand Methods Do Not Tarnish Its Body,’ elevating this person’s martial arts to a very superior level.
At first, Wuchen held back his strength.
But as they fought, he found that even his ultimate moves could not subdue the young man before him.
His power gradually increased... accompanying constantly with Dharma Aspect behind him, sometimes being Vajra’s Angry Gaze, sometimes embodying compassion, especially when matching with Demon-Subduing Vajra Palm, the massive Dharma Aspect dropped three palms mid-air, each leaving a colossal palm seal nearly a foot deep on the ground.
