74: Fiery Sword, Chain Binding

Metal collision!

Heavy footsteps sounded.

From the darkness, a fully armored big man emerged.

This big man wore a horned helmet, heavy armor, steel gauntlets, and wielded a Double-Handed Mantis Sword.

Chu Qing suddenly understood.

No wonder Cui Moyang and the others couldn't defeat him.

The opponent was in full heavy armor.

And they only had long sabers and long swords as weapons.

Even with the enhancement of great tendons, they couldn't break through his defense.

In a fight, the opponent could make many mistakes.

But they… couldn't make even one.

Crack!

Under the faceplate, Zheng Tie sneered; because he saw Chu Qing: “I was planning to kill you tomorrow; I didn't expect you to come now.”

“Good, saves me time.”

“Soon, I'll leave you a complete corpse.”

Chu Qing smiled, ignoring Zheng Tie, and said to Cui Moyang and the others: “Go find my Double-Handed Mantis Sword.”

Cui Moyang's eyes lit up; she just remembered that Chu Qing's most powerful weapon was his Double-Handed Mantis Sword.

“Alright!”

Whoosh!

Ximen, Nangong, and Cui Moyang went to search for the Double-Handed Mantis Sword.

And Wang Yinyang guarded the two pairs of Twins who were spitting blood.

Crack!

Crack!

Zheng Tie shook his head, his Jingu cracking loudly.

“Double-Handed Mantis Sword?”

“It seems your weapon isn't with you!”

“I can reluctantly wait for you to get your weapon, and then… cut you down with one sword!”

Zheng Tie was full of confidence.

Because he had heavy armor protecting him and wasn't afraid of light weapons hacking at him.

Chu Qing smiled: “Killing you is too simple!”

As he spoke, he tapped his toes on the ground, instantly rushing to Zheng Tie's side.

Extreme Red Snake Leg.

Over sixty Iron Tendons burst forth.

Bang!

Zheng Tie's body swayed, and he laughed loudly:

“Too little strength!”

Chu Qing turned, dragging his feet on the ground like a mantis, his fists crossing and chopping, his fist wind like a blade.

Toad Skill activated Mantis Fist, connecting with Eagle Claw Skill Iron Tendons.

In an instant, over two hundred Iron Tendons erupted.

With this punch, even an iron plate could be easily split open.

Chop!

Boom!

A muffled thud.

Zheng Tie staggered two or three steps.

The heavy armor — slightly dented.

Chu Qing retreated several steps, feeling pain in his fists.

His fist bones, which could hammer iron like mud… had cracked.

Zheng Tie laughed loudly: “You think my heavy armor is made of scrap metal?”

“Even if you can crush iron into mud, you won't be able to harm a single hair on me.”

As he spoke, he dragged his long sword, charging at Chu Qing like a large wild ox.

Wang Yinyang exclaimed: “Don't resist head-on!”

Chu Qing scoffed, sneering, his legs moving like a large snake, flashing behind Zheng Tie.

“Your speed is too slow!”

“Killing you — only requires one Move!”

Whoosh!

The Dragon Snake Twin-Headed Chain Spear flew out.

The over seven-meter-long Chain Spear, like a venomous snake, coiled around Zheng Tie's legs.

Crack!

Crack!

The Chain Spear tightened.

Boom!

Zheng Tie, in his heavy armor, fell to the ground.

Zheng Tie was dumbfounded — he was tripped by a small iron chain?

Wang Yinyang was dumbfounded — was this how easily a heavy-armored master was dealt with?

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Chu Qing shook the Chain Spear, its body like a large snake, and in just two seconds, he tied Zheng Tie up completely.

“You came at just the right time; I was still missing a great tendon.”

“Perfect, I'll chop you up, extract your great tendon, and help my cultivation!”

Chu Qing smiled.

Zheng Tie scoffed: “A broken iron chain, and you think it can hold me?”

“Open!”

Crack!

The Chain Spear tightened.

Zheng Tie… I am immensely strong, am I afraid of a small chain?

“Open!”

Crack!

The Chain Spear tightened again.

Zheng Tie… fell silent.

Chu Qing laughed: “You think my Chain Spear is made of scrap metal?”

Under the faceplate, Zheng Tie was enraged and humiliated.

And at this moment, Cui Moyang and the others, carrying the Double-Handed Mantis Sword, came rushing.

After getting closer, they slowed their pace.

Because:

The heavy-armored master who had almost killed them was actually tied up in a strange posture.

Nangong, beside them, rubbed her eyes and said sweetly: “Qing Ge… you're so amazing!”

Ximen coughed and said: “Qing… Ge's weapon really counters him well.”

Cui Moyang's eyes lit up, and she grabbed the Double-Handed Mantis Sword, heading straight for Zheng Tie.

Swing!

Chop!

Clang!

The Double-Handed Mantis Sword were bounced away, and under the heavy armor, Zheng Tie sneered.

Cui Moyang immediately grabbed the Double-Handed Mantis Sword and handed them to Chu Qing.

“You chop!”

Chu Qing… your great tendons are stronger than mine, and you can't chop him; how can I?

Roar!

From within the heavy armor, Zheng Tie roared in anger.

“You're going too far!”

“Do you really think I'm a fish to be slaughtered?”

“I'll kill you all!”

The next second:

His horned helmet fell off.

Whoosh!

Zheng Tie, contracting his Jingu, drilled out of the heavy armor.

“Kill!”

Wielding the Double-Handed Mantis Sword, he ferociously charged at Chu Qing.

Chu Qing's eyes lit up, and he casually grabbed the Double-Handed Mantis Sword and rushed forward.

Clang!

Long swords clashed.

The violent force instantly pushed Chu Qing back seven or eight steps.

And Zheng Tie's body only swayed once before he charged again.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The Double-Handed Mantis Sword swung like wheels.

Zheng Tie looked ferocious: “Do you think I'm weak without heavy armor?”

“Ridiculous!”

“I've cultivated extreme Iron Tendons, one hundred Iron Bones!”

“What do you have to contend with me?!”

His Swordplay was also an Advanced Swordplay, capable of mobilizing all Iron Tendons and all Iron Bones.

Its power was quite terrifying.

In terms of strength, Chu Qing was no match at all.

But:

In terms of Moves, he wasn't afraid at all.

“Many Jingu don't mean you can kill people!”

Chu Qing sneered.

If this guy had kept wearing heavy armor, it would have taken some effort to kill him.

But, he had taken off the heavy armor.

Then it was simple.

Cui Moyang and Wang Yinyang were also stirring.

Just as Chu Qing said:

Many Jingu don't mean you can crush your opponent.

Ultimately, it still depends on timing, Moves, Aura, experience, and… a little bit of luck.

The Double-Handed Mantis Sword swung, trying to avoid direct collision with the opponent.

One minute… Zheng Tie sneered.

Three minutes… Zheng Tie became serious.

Every one of his strikes used full power, and his vital energy and spirit were greatly depleted.

“Chu Qing's depletion is even greater!”

He had wanted to leave, but he felt that if he persisted a little longer, he could kill Chu Qing.

He gritted his teeth and continued.

Five minutes… Zheng Tie was sweating profusely.

His Swordplay was a military Swordplay, wide and open, with huge consumption.

And Chu Qing, although also greatly depleted, had swallowed many breakthrough Secret medicine, constantly replenishing his vital energy and spirit.

He also had the Secret Toad Skill to restore his vital energy and spirit.

No matter how great the consumption, he could quickly recover.

More importantly:

Zheng Tie didn't have sudden explosive light body techniques, nor had he taken Secret medicine in advance to restore his vital energy and spirit.

So… six minutes… Zheng Tie was panting.

Chu Qing's eyes lit up, and he suddenly twisted the sword hilt.

Crack!

The mechanism opened.

Flaming oil flowed along the internal veins of the sword body, spilling out from the sword body.

The Double-Handed Mantis Sword chopped at Zheng Tie's chest, the Move fierce.

Zheng Tie's eyes lit up, and he swept his Double-Handed Mantis Sword with all his strength: “My sword will knock your weapon flying.”

The moment the Double-Handed Mantis Sword collided:

On one of the great swords, a flame suddenly ignited.

Clang!

A loud bang.

The burning fire sword spun and flew out.

But the many flaming oils on the sword body, like fire whips, splashed onto Zheng Tie's body.

The flaming oil burned, searing his Flesh, and drilling towards his bones.

Zheng Tie screamed, covering his face.

The next moment, Chu Qing's legs moved like a large snake, appearing behind him.

His ten fingers, like hooks, pierced into Zheng Tie's back.

Crack!

He exerted force with his fingers, actually pulling out a spinal great tendon.

Ah… Zheng Tie screamed, his body went limp, and he fell to the ground.

Chu Qing didn't even look at him, but instead held the great tendon and casually wrapped it around the Chain Spear.

[Third condition completed]

[Dragon Snake Twin-Headed Chain Spear mastery — a thousand practices daily, ten years of proficiency.]

[Promotion conditions — 1: One hundred days of eel soup, 2: One portion of dragon tendon]

At this moment, Chu Qing looked at Zheng Tie and said:

“Your great tendon will just help my cultivation!”

“And, now that you're dead, you don't have to rush anymore.”

Pfft!

Zheng Tie spat blood, then died.

At this moment, he regretted not listening to Zheng Zhixiang.
