160: I want to kill Zheng Xilong

The monthly exchange competition ended.

Chu Qing descended from the arena, carrying his resources, and went to find Madam Shi.

Madam Shi's Face remained cold.

However, a hint of joy flickered in her eyes.

"Let's go, it's time to return!"

Chu Qing shook his head and said, "I want to kill Zheng Xilong!"

Madam Shi was stunned for a moment, then said, "You... why bother?"

Chu Qing said, "He wants to kill me. If I don't kill him, should I wait for him to surpass me by a large margin and then let him kill me?"

Madam Shi said, "That makes sense!"

"But... you can't kill him!"

Chu Qing... Hm?

Madam Shi said, "He also achieved Perfected Gold Tendons two days ago."

Chu Qing frowned.

Perfected Gold Tendons means extremely tenacious vitality.

If one is determined to escape, even if they are one or two small Realms higher, they might not be able to catch up.

But... "If I don't try, I won't be reconciled!"

Madam Shi said coolly, "Alright!"

"Let's see if I can kill that old fellow."

Chu Qing nodded.

A short while later:

Chu Qing, carrying his resources, began to follow Zheng Xilong.

Zheng Xilong was stunned.

He knew Chu Qing wasn't afraid of him.

But he didn't expect the other party to actually follow him.

"So eager to die?"

"Good, I'll grant your wish!"

Zheng Xilong directly left the city.

Some people paid attention, some went back to report to their masters, and some followed directly.

At this moment, the Ximen Family also received news:

Ximen Feng had been crippled by someone.

Physical disability was easy to treat.

But... for a mental disability, they were helpless.

A group of people begged the Ximen Family Head to send someone to kill Chu Qing.

In response, the Ximen Family Head, stroking his beard and glaring, said furiously,

"Bastards!"

"Do you still have brains?"

"Feng'er just lost on the arena, just got crippled."

"Then, the person who injured Feng'er dies immediately?"

"If you aren't ashamed, I am!"

The Crowd dared not speak.

As Noble families, the most important things were actually Face and demeanor.

Losing Face didn't matter, they could slowly regain it later.

But losing demeanor would be troublesome.

Especially losing on the arena and then immediately retaliating.

Then, although everyone wouldn't say anything openly, they would secretly despise them.

They might even distance themselves from them.

The Ximen Family Head said, "Fetch a Fake Bone Secret medicine and give it to Zheng Xilong."

"Let him kill Chu Qing."

The Crowd gasped.

The Fake Bone Secret medicine could allow a Martial Artist who hadn't achieved Perfection in bone refining to gain an additional thirty to fifty, or even a hundred, Silver Bone out of nowhere.

In a battle between tendons and bones Realm Martial Artists, having dozens more or dozens fewer Silver Bone made a world of difference.

However, this item was quite precious.

The entire Ximen Family could only store seven or eight of them a month.

Nevertheless, to avenge Ximen Feng, sacrificing one Fake Bone Secret medicine was acceptable... As Zheng Xilong was about to leave the city gate, he was stopped by someone.

"This is a Fake Bone Secret medicine. Take it and kill Chu Qing."

The person delivering the Secret medicine wore a human skin mask.

His expression was stiff.

Zheng Xilong scoffed, grinning menacingly, "To kill Chu Qing, my true abilities are enough!"

The person sneered, "Chu Qing achieved Perfected Gold Tendons one or two months ago."

"Now, he might have refined hundreds of Silver Bone, or even dozens of Golden Tendons."

"You can only kill him if you take the medicine."

Zheng Xilong dismissed it with disdain.

The Realm gap wasn't very large, so he didn't care.

"If Realm was all that mattered, there would be no fighting and killing in the Jianghu!"

"Everyone would just show their Realm, and the victor would be decided."

However, an old man beside him hesitated and advised, "These are people from the Ximen Family."

"We have a partnership with them."

"Don't make them lose Face!"

Zheng Xilong fell silent.

After a while, he took the Secret medicine, then subconsciously looked back.

Behind him:

Chu Qing smiled and nodded at him.

At this moment:

Zheng Xilong felt his Face flush.

He clenched his fist, wishing he could crush the Secret medicine.

But... in the end, he opened his mouth and swallowed the Secret medicine.

The Secret medicine went down, and within a few seconds, he felt a surge of power within him.

Silver Bone were born one by one.

However, these Silver Bone were temporary and would disappear in a dozen minutes.

One... fifty... one hundred... One Fake Bone Secret medicine gave him a full hundred extra Silver Bone.

He shook his head, his entire tendons and bones cracking loudly. With a low roar, he sped up and rushed out of the city.

Chu Qing also followed closely.

One second... ten seconds... one minute... Whoosh!

Zheng Xilong burst out of the city gate.

He tapped his toes on the ground, which cracked, and his speed actually increased significantly again.

In just two or three seconds, he rushed over two hundred meters away before stopping.

Whoosh!

Chu Qing whistled over.

When he was only twenty meters from Zheng Xilong, he stopped.

Clatter!

Chu Qing casually tossed the reward from the exchange competition onto the ground.

"Come on, either you kill me; or I kill you!"

Whoosh!

The old man and Madam Shi also arrived.

However, the two of them faced each other.

Zheng Xilong grinned menacingly.

Clatter!

He threw away his package, rolled up his sleeves, and revealed his muscular arms, saying, "Come, I'll kill you!"

The next second:

The two moved almost simultaneously.

Boom!

Their toes tapped the ground.

The mud beneath their feet exploded, creating deep, washbasin-sized pits.

This time, both immediately used their strongest Moves, completely different from the tentative probing on the long street last night.

Bang!

Bang!

Fists and feet collided.

Each strike was delivered with maximum force.

Mantis Fist—fist winds howled, forming a phantom image of a mantis.

Subduing Dragon Post—formed a phantom image of a great Dragon.

Zheng Xilong was also not simple.

As he swung his fists and feet, the air twisted:

Sometimes there was a phantom image of a great Dragon, sometimes the form of a fierce tiger.

The two only collided for two or three seconds, and the violent force tore their upper garments.

Chu Qing roared, activating Iron Cloth.

But his Flesh was still torn open by Zheng Xilong.

He kicked out, and Zheng Xilong's skin turned golden, a result of his Horizontal Golden Bell Shield.

It should have been impervious to blades and spears.

But after being kicked by Chu Qing, his stark white bone was still exposed.

The two fought so fiercely that their Flesh was shattered, and their white bones were fully exposed, a truly tragic sight.

In contrast, the old man and Madam Shi, who were on the side, had higher Realms and stronger power.

But when they moved, there were no various howls.

Even their clothes remained undamaged.

These two experts controlled their power to the extreme.

In just over a minute:

The two exchanged hundreds of blows.

At this moment:

Chu Qing and Zheng Xilong were both covered in blood, with stark white bones exposed all over their bodies.

Bang!

They clashed again.

Chu Qing's Mantis Fist sliced a palm-long wound on Zheng Xilong's chest, exposing his sternum.

Zheng Xilong punched him in the chest, also creating a similarly large, bone-deep wound.

Zheng Xilong grinned menacingly, "Chu Qing, you're not good enough!"

"I took a Secret medicine, so I have a hundred more Silver Bone than you."

"Moreover, I have innate Divine Power!"

"Surrender, and I'll let you live!"

Chu Qing took a deep breath, secretly activating Toad Skill, frantically trying to control his wounds.

"A hundred Silver Tendon?"

"I've refined nearly thirty Golden Bone."

After saying that, he rushed forward again, throwing punches:

Bang!

"Your Realm is not as good as mine."

Bang!

"Your Move is not as good as mine!"

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

His storm-like attacks made Zheng Xilong continuously retreat.

Chu Qing roared.

He mobilized all his Golden Tendons, ignoring his wounds, and attacked frantically.

"So what if you have innate Divine Power?"

"I'll still suppress you!"

Boom!

Another clash.

Their fists collided.

The terrifying power actually tore the Flesh from their hands.

Zheng Xilong retreated.

Chu Qing not only didn't retreat but instead swelled his great tendons and charged back in, hacking and slashing.

Bang!

"Your courage isn't even as good as mine!"

"Facing a strong opponent, you only retreat."

"How dare you tell me to surrender?"

Zheng Xilong's mentality collapsed.

Because Chu Qing had hit a sore spot.

His courage was not as good as Chu Qing's.

But he was not reconciled.

He roared, his eyes starting to turn red:

"Chu Qing, today, I will kill you; to make you understand that courage is nothing in the Face of absolute strength."

As he spoke, his eyes were completely enveloped in a crimson hue.

At this moment:

Zheng Xilong unleashed all his potential.

"Kill!"
