He also gained the reputation of the ’Flowing Rain Needle’.

Needles like fine rain flowing down a waterfall, palms open to a thousand blooming pear trees!

However, Chu Qing’s sword defied the flow, wrapped in the Undying Golden Body, forcibly creating a crack amidst the fine rain waterfall. No matter how dense the myriad threads of waterfall became, they could not break through Chu Qing’s Protective Gang Qi.

"Drink ya!!!"

The Flowing Rain Needle suddenly let out a shout, gathering both hands, a silver needle suspended between his palms, driven by his inner strength, causing the silver needle to turn crimson.

The sharp edge flickered, the palm momentum suddenly pushed.

Buzz!!!

The crimson flying needle propelled by his inner strength collided with Chu Qing’s sword tip in an instant.

Clang!!!

The intense sound flashed, followed by the crimson flying needle insanely boring into the tip of Chu Qing’s sword.

It traveled along the sword body, flew out from the hilt, directly aiming for Chu Qing’s heart.

Even Chu Qing did not anticipate this move.

He protected himself with the Undying Golden Body, his sword naturally outside, yet no matter how strong the Undying Golden Body was, it couldn’t penetrate his own sword and guard the inside of the blade.

Thus, allowing the Flowing Rain Needle to find a flaw, which wasn’t a flaw at all, driving this crimson flying needle right in front of him.

If it were before, even unwilling, Chu Qing would have had to retract his move to dodge at this moment.

But not at present...

In the next moment, Chu Qing’s Protective Gang Qi suddenly gathered, concentrating at his heart.

This Protective Divine Skill, in his hands, erased all flaws, moving freely, unburdened by techniques, it could apply at any location on his body as he wished.

Now perfectly blocking his chest, no matter how sharp this crimson flying needle was, it couldn’t penetrate an inch.

Chu Qing stepped forward, advancing with his sword momentum.

The Flowing Rain Needle brought his hands together, reluctantly grasping the sword momentum, yet still piercing through his shoulder with a hiss.

He suddenly twisted his two palms around the sword body, his form slanting, using his bones to lock Chu Qing’s sword.

Let out a furious roar:

"Take action!!!"

The myriad threads waterfall was merely a means to obstruct Chu Qing’s sword momentum, the crimson flying needle was just a trump card to restrain Chu Qing.

The Flowing Rain Needle never expected these methods to kill Chu Qing!

The name Night Emperor was worn on their ears repeatedly, he was well aware of how skilled this person truly was.

And witnessing it today, he discovered this person’s martial arts were beyond their expectations.

Now is a situation of seeking survival in death!

If there’s no determination to risk death, how can one seek a path to life!

Thus, everything done beforehand was just to slow Chu Qing’s sword momentum.

Not to be killed in a single move by his fast sword.

As long as it slows for a moment, allowing him to control Chu Qing’s sword...

Then there’s a chance to kill him!

Now using himself as bait to lock Chu Qing’s long sword, with the right hand holding the sword, the flying blade is difficult to retrieve.

In this kind of situation, let’s see how he turns defeat into victory!

Then appeared another Mirror of Sin martial arts expert soaring into the sky, with a thousand-pound palm momentum overturning, like a celestial vault toppled!

This is a matter of life and death for two martial arts experts on the Evil Extermination List of the Mirror of Sin, creating a situation of seeking survival in death.

One acts as bait, the other kills!

Therefore, they brought out their best skills.

This palm is named [Celestial Profound Heart-Breaking Palm], with two forces.

One is external, with a grandiose palm momentum like the heavens suspended upside down, forcing all things to bow.

Now unleashed midair, without the palm descending, a huge sense of oppression naturally arises.

Chu Qing’s attire fluttered all around him, sand and stones surged from the ground.

The palm momentum was also as fast as a falling meteor!

In an instant, it had already reached Chu Qing before him.

Chu Qing raised his eyes, his left hand naturally extending.

With the clash of two palms, there was a booming roar.

The ground was crackled with cracks, spreading in all directions, a powerful gust swept across from the point of contact between the palms.

Broken stones and flying sand were swept along, battering nearby walls and eaves, leaving them pockmarked.

Yet at this moment, the second layer of force from the Celestial Profound Heart-Breaking Palm also happened accordingly.

This force internal, grim and sly, targeted the heart meridian.

If this palm technique could not resist the grand external force, it would be crushed to death by the palm force.

If the grand external force was resisted, the internal dark force would snap the heart meridian, resulting in death from heart meridian rupture.

The Celestial Profound Heart-Breaking Palm is named thusly! 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"Succeeded!!"

The Flowing Rain Needle’s eyes gleamed brightly.

However, in that instant, the person unleashing the Celestial Profound Heart-Breaking Palm was suddenly struck with a giant shock, his chest bursting forth with a blood mist with a thud.

Following was a thunderous crackling from his arms, a soaring dragon’s roar suddenly resounding.

With a crack, his mask shattered.

Dragon-shaped Qi broke out, followed by a spout of fresh blood, sending the whole person flying backwards!

"This is impossible!!!"

The Flowing Rain Needle was flabbergasted, he himself restrained the other’s sword, while the other’s protective divine skill was confined at his heart by his crimson flying needle.

Where did he get the inner strength to withstand the Celestial Profound Heart-Breaking Palm?

But how could he know that Chu Qing’s martial arts today were unfathomably profound?

The Mingyu Scripture was complete in all ten tiers, deep inner power was beyond common estimation.

Furthermore, he possessed the Exotic Studies of Replacing Flowers with Jade, but this technique must be guided by circumstances, usually he didn’t need it, as the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms were enough to shatter all methods.

Earlier, the dark force of the Celestial Profound Heart-Breaking Palm sneakily slipped inside when avoiding the external palm force, Chu Qing had already understood.

Immediately using Replacing Flowers with Jade to expel this dark force, how it entered, so it departed.

And its force of departure far exceeded its force of entry!

They originally wanted to break Chu Qing’s heart meridian, ultimately the heart meridian broken belonged to the opponent.

Consequently, the Dragon-Subduing Palm Force spared no reservation, forcefully crushing that person’s arms, severing all the meridians throughout his body.

Don’t be fooled when the person flew out still breathing, actually, before he hit the ground, he was already gone.

"What’s impossible?"

Chu Qing turned back at this point, looking at the Flowing Rain Needle who still restrained his long sword.

The Flowing Rain Needle woke as if from a dream:

"You’re not just the Night Emperor... you’re more than the Night Emperor...

"This remarkable palm technique appeared at Luochun Manor... just a few days ago...

"You are also... also the Mad Saber..."

Not waiting for these words to finish, Chu Qing slashed with his sword.

Directly severing his bones and the hand that gripped the sword.

The whole person was almost cut into two pieces diagonally!

The rest of the words could only be swallowed into his belly.

The corpse fell to the ground!

By this point, all three masters on the Evil Extermination List who came had been annihilated.

The entire process, though seemingly complex to describe, actually transpired within just a few moves.

It’s just that the masters on the Evil Extermination List were indeed worthy of their reputation.

They barely managed to resist a sword from Chu Qing... and that method of breaking the sword with the flying needle surprised Chu Qing greatly.

"Fortunately, we drew them out at this moment, had it been earlier, facing these three would’ve been quite troublesome."

With a ding, the crimson flying needle launched by the Flowing Rain Needle finally lost all its force, dropping to the ground.

Chu Qing bowed his head and looked at it; by now, this flying needle had also lost its crimson sheen, appearing no different than an ordinary silver needle.

Putting on silk gloves, he picked up the silver needle carefully, inspected it thoroughly, and then stored it away.

He felt there was something unusual about this flying needle.

Gentle approached him:

"Third brother."

"Could you help check if they have anything on them?"

Chu Qing untied a silk glove, handing it to Gentle, asking her to be mindful.

The two individuals split up to act, after a moment, gathering the looted items together.

There were silver, silver notes, tokens like tokens of identity, elixirs as defensive items, but nothing particularly special beyond these.

They kept the silver and elixirs safe.

The tokens of identity Chu Qing didn’t know the purpose of, he let Gentle store them in her little bundle.

"Are we heading to the city gate now?"

Gentle inquired of Chu Qing.

Chu Qing shook his head:

"The three renowned masters on the list have all fallen in Dingxing City.

"Once Zhou Fu’an receives this news, he certainly won’t be able to sit still, the act of startling the snake out of the grass will have been successful."

"Are we heading to Zhou’s mansion?"

"No rush."

Chu Qing smiled:

"If I were alone here now, I would be pursuing this person relentlessly.

"But now... since you’re by my side, I have the leisure to perhaps do something else first..."

Gentle was somewhat curious:

"What matter is so urgent?"

"...Seclusion."
