223: Terrible host
Gulp!
Lead Big Brother looked at the masked assassins in front of him, his head buzzing as the numb and desperate cannon fodder lined up to their deaths at Lotus Leaf Temple.
This scene was too spectacular.
Although he had never seen a battlefield before,
just by looking at this scene, he felt as if he had entered one.
However, this battlefield had no evenly matched sides, only a one-sided slaughter.
“Where is Qing Ge?”
Lead Big Brother asked The Crowd in a trembling voice.
All twenty-plus students remained silent.
Just then:
Someone exclaimed, “Look, people are coming!”
A woman in white, a woman in red, and a youth in red and white broke through the wind and snow, howling as they approached.
Nangong, Chu Qing.
Who was the woman in white?
The Crowd didn't have time to ponder, instead, they surrounded Chu Qing and loudly said:
“Qing Ge… what do we do next?”
Chu Qing surveyed The Crowd.
Those who had returned to the martial arts academy a few days ago were all here today.
Very good.
He was satisfied.
“Now, have your people throw the fierce fire oil at Lotus Leaf Temple.”
“Throw it from all directions.”
“Then, listen to my command and light the fire.”
The Crowd was horrified.
The retainers brought by the students were even more panicked.
“Qing Ge… right now, many cannon fodder have rushed in.”
“If we set fire, they will also die.”
Chu Qing smiled and said, “Cannon fodder are destined to die.”
“Dying by outsiders’ hands or by our hands, there’s no difference!”
At this moment:
The wind and snow grew heavier.
Lead Big Brother stared intently at Chu Qing.
He noticed that although Chu Qing was smiling, his eyes were cold.
His eyes were filled with contempt for life.
Nangong, standing beside him, was the same.
As for Madam Shi, the chill radiating from her could freeze the wind and snow.
At this moment, Chu Qing looked at him and smiled, “Hmm?”
“Still not going?”
Lead Big Brother shivered.
“Okay!”
A few minutes later:
Hundreds of Noble families’ retainers, led by the students, threw fierce fire oil towards Lotus Leaf Temple.
Whoosh!
Three to five jin of fierce fire oil pouches flew into the air, some were shot and burst.
The oil scattered like a celestial maiden scattering flowers.
Some landed on the Buddhist hall, some on the open ground, and some on the cannon fodder.
The Great Monks of Lotus Leaf Temple immediately sensed something was wrong.
“Fierce fire oil!”
“Quick, go out and kill them.”
One by one, the Great Monks abandoned the cannon fodder.
They tore through the wind and snow like eagles, pouncing towards the outside of Lotus Leaf Temple.
However:
It was too late.
Several tons of fierce fire oil, thrown frantically by the Noble families’ retainers, all flew inside.
The next second:
Chu Qing drew his bow and nocked an arrow.
The bow was an ordinary bow.
The arrow was a fire arrow.
A Great Monk saw this scene, his eyes almost bulging: “Shameless scoundrel!”
“Stop!”
Whoosh!
The arrow flew into the air, carrying a line of fire, and landed on a piece of cannon fodder.
Boom!
The cannon fodder ignited.
He ran wildly.
More people were set on fire.
And then… there was no then.
The entire Lotus Leaf Temple was engulfed in flames within a mere ten-odd seconds.
Some Great Monks, having fierce fire oil on them, were also ignited.
A clever Great Monk immediately stripped off his clothes.
Then, he split a piece of cannon fodder in half and bathed in the blood to prevent being ignited.
A Great Monk, his eyes wide, lunged in the air to kill Chu Qing.
“Bastard, die!”
The iron rod swung, like Mount Tai pressing down, intending to smash Chu Qing’s head.
The next second:
Nangong soared into the air, she let out a delicate cry, and her slender hand collided with the iron rod.
Boom!
The iron rod bent and flew out spinning.
The slender hand gently patted the Great Monk’s forehead.
Bang!
His skull exploded.
Blood sprayed, staining Nangong in the air red.
Nangong’s body folded in mid-air, then, like an arrow, she shot out:
“Qing Ge’er, I’m going to kill the bald heads.”
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
She landed among the group of monks.
Like a red butterfly, she weaved and danced gracefully.
Wherever she passed, heads exploded, and blood mist filled the air.
Her red clothes, stained with blood, became even redder.
Her black long hair, stained with blood, was like a million red threads, gathering together, turning into a red ribbon—floating! Floating!
Nangong, began a massacre.
With her joining, the group of Great Monks immediately suffered heavy casualties.
Whether it was tendons and bones or Flesh.
Even the Great Monks' Five Viscera and Six Bowels couldn't withstand a casual strike from her.
Nangong was unstoppable.
Lead Big Brother was pleasantly surprised.
He immediately followed behind Nangong.
Chu Qing looked at the burning Lotus Leaf Temple and smiled:
“The overall situation is settled!”
“Now, all that’s left is that Abbot.”
“Madam, do you think that fellow will suddenly rush over and assassinate me?”
Madam Shi extended her small hand, catching a red snowflake, and said, “First Limit experts always think they are very powerful.”
“He will come out and fight you head-on.”
Chu Qing nodded.
Just then:
In the temple, a burning building collapsed.
A hundred heavily armored Great Monks, wielding wolf-tooth clubs, charged out with Killing Intent.
Boom!
Boom!
The earth trembled.
Wherever they passed, everything was knocked flying or flattened.
They passed through the flames, unharmed.
“This heavy armor…”
Chu Qing remembered the heavily armored person among the rebels.
“Back then, I was helpless against this kind of heavy armor.”
“Now… I can break it with a single hand!”
He tapped his toes on the ground, and the ground exploded:
Boom!
The shattered frozen earth mixed with the wind and snow, like a blooming Great Lotus.
Boom!
Boom!
Chu Qing, took a step and a lotus bloomed.
The wind and snow lotus was even more lifelike and realistic than the lotus of the old man from the rebel army back then.
In a few breaths, he rushed to the heavily armored Great Monks.
Savage Collision!
Boom!
One by one, the heavily armored Great Monks screamed and flew backward.
In mid-air, their Flesh exploded, and blood sprayed from the gaps in their armor, like moving fountains.
Sunflower Hand!
Bang!
The heavy armor exploded, the twisted heavy armor, carrying Flesh and tendons and bones, bloomed like a Sunflower!
“When the flower blooms, see me, as if seeing a god!”
Amidst the blooming Flesh and steel Sunflowers, Chu Qing's understanding of the Sunflower Hand deepened.
【Sunflower Hand Proficiency — A hundred refinements daily, Secret medicine taken daily, Major Achievement in three years!】
【Promotion Conditions — 1: Kill 1,800 enemies with Sunflower Hand; 2: Pick 100 jin of Sunflowers.】
Chu Qing smiled.
The promotion of Sunflower Hand originally required eating sunflower seeds.
However, he had an epiphany while killing enemies just now.
It directly skipped the conditions and forcibly promoted him.
“Is it the effect of the dragon tendon?”
“Or was it supposed to be this way?”
Chu Qing mused haphazardly.
However, the next second, he threw that thought to the back of his mind.
“There are so many enemies here, I’ll know if I keep killing.”
In his heart, there was a vague feeling:
The reason he achieved promotion was because of the dragon tendon.
Because:
Nangong had said that with the dragon tendon, breaking through martial arts limits was very easy.
He looked at the other heavily armored monks, then smiled and charged forward.
Kill!
Kill!
Kill!
Boom!
Boom!
One by one, the heavy armors exploded, twisted, and bloomed into Sunflowers.
Chu Qing moved like a ghost, weaving through them.
Wherever he passed, bodies fell to the ground.
The heavily armored monks, who should have been invulnerable to blades and spears, were as fragile as children.
The hundred heavily armored monks were quickly scattered and killed by Chu Qing.
The remaining heavily armored monks were terrified.
Because:
Even First Limit experts couldn't possibly damage heavy armor mixed with a large amount of dark gold to this extent.
Chu Qing was just a student.
How could he be so powerful?
They were terrified and wanted to escape.
And just then:
From the burning Buddhist hall, flames suddenly swept through, terrifying Killing Intent raged, and the wind and snow in the world seemed to freeze for a moment.
