Chapter 962: Chapter 962: Guan Hao Dying with Eyes Open

“So you should hand over the Ancient Martial Arts Manual to me. Even though it’s only the first five volumes, with my talent and experience, coupled with my secret techniques, I can refine my physical body to the saintly level in the shortest time. By then, I’ll lead all of you to break out of this flawed realm and search for a land rich in resources!”

Zhang Zhong spoke confidently, as though everything was already within his grasp!

Standing nearby, Bai Xiaofan felt a stirring within his heart as he listened to Zhang Zhong’s words!

The Ancient Martial Arts Manual!

Zhang Zhong had mentioned the Ancient Martial Arts Manual twice now!

And judging by their words, there were five volumes!

If he could obtain these five volumes, then given time, why should he fear a mere elder sorcerer?

However, Bai Xiaofan was also well aware that for now, he was only here through the use of that throne!

To this space, he was merely an onlooker; nothing here was something he could take away.

Not to mention taking it away, he couldn’t even touch anything here—it was absolutely impossible!

He had tried; the people and the warhorses here could pass right through his body, and he could freely pass through their bodies as well.

In other words, in this space, he was a transparent man!

“Zhang Zhong, I would love nothing more than to give you the first five volumes of the Ancient Martial Arts Manual, but just moments ago, I destroyed all of the Ancient Martial Arts Manual that I had in my possession!”

Facing the arrogant and self-assured Zhang Zhong, Qing Yu calmly said, his tone devoid of schadenfreude or sorrowful emotions.

It was as if what he had destroyed wasn’t a peerless cultivation technique like the Ancient Martial Arts Manual, but merely a few worthless scraps of old newspaper!

Upon hearing Qing Yu’s words, Zhang Zhong was so furious he nearly chewed off his own beard.

Not just Zhang Zhong—even Bai Xiaofan was so enraged he almost rushed forward to slap Zhang Zhong hard across the face!

“You seek death!”

Fire seemed ready to spew from Zhang Zhong’s eyes as he fixed his piercing gaze on Qing Yu before him.

If looks could kill, Qing Yu would likely have been chopped into thousands of pieces by Zhang Zhong already!

“But just moments ago, this young master managed to completely master the first five volumes of the Ancient Martial Arts Manual. Why don’t I give you a demonstration?”

Qing Yu seemed indifferent to Zhang Zhong’s rage.

As he spoke calmly, his long azure robe fluttered despite the lack of wind.

“Fine, very fine. As expected, the student surpasses the master. Let’s see today whether the Ancient Martial Arts Manual is truly as powerful as the legends say!”

Demonstrate?

To hell with a demonstration!

Hearing Qing Yu’s words, Zhang Zhong sneered mercilessly, raised the two axes in his hands, and fixed his gaze on Qing Yu.

As his words trailed off, Qing Yu stepped forward, delivering a punch toward Zhang Zhong.

Qing Yu’s figure was slightly frail, especially in comparison to Zhang Zhong, who gripped two massive axes—it made Qing Yu seem utterly vulnerable!

Thus, Qing Yu’s punch looked like it carried little threat.

Zhang Zhong did not let his guard down, raising his axes to strike down forcefully.

Immediately, Guan Hao and the others shut their eyes tightly, too terrified to witness the impending outcome!

Clang!

What followed, however, was the distinct sound of metal striking metal.

Shock rippled through the crowd as they saw Zhang Zhong stagger backward, retreating two steps!

In contrast, Qing Yu remained composed and at ease, as though nothing had happened.

The Ancient Martial Arts Manual at its fifth pinnacle—absolutely terrifying!

Watching Qing Yu and Zhang Zhong engage in combat, Bai Xiaofan’s eyes gleamed with fervent light.

Only those who had practiced the Ancient Martial Arts Manual could truly grasp its overwhelming power.

Though Bai Xiaofan wasn’t sure how strong the fifth-level pinnacle of the technique could make someone,

from the present scene, it seemed that if Bai Xiaofan could cultivate to the fifth level of the Ancient Martial Arts Manual, defeating Li Qiu with a single punch wouldn’t be an issue!

Zhang Zhong’s strength, however, was extraordinarily formidable.

Although Qing Yu had far exceeded expectations, he didn’t last long before Zhang Zhong’s axe struck his chest fiercely, revealing a deep wound down to the bone for all to see.

“Hand over the Ancient Martial Arts Manual! If I had a body this powerful, my fighting capability would be several times stronger than now!”

Zhang Zhong’s eyes were bloodshot as he roared at Qing Yu.

“Defeat me, and the Ancient Martial Arts Manual will be yours!”

Even amidst such a brutal fight, Qing Yu remained calm and composed as he spoke.

As soon as his words fell, a faint gray qi began to emerge from Qing Yu’s body, encasing him entirely!

“Slaughter Aura? You’ve actually condensed such tangible killing intent!”

Seeing Qing Yu before him, Zhang Zhong’s eyes revealed a flicker of shock.

“Did you truly think I was merely a powerless young scholar? This aura of killing intent was something I inadvertently obtained from the land of the Heavenly God’s downfall. For me, while the Ancient Martial Arts Manual is merely a technique to strengthen the body, this Slaughter Aura is the real trump card!”

Qing Yu laughed lightly, gently waving his hands as the killing intent surrounding him obeyed his commands and slowly converged at his palms!

As the killing intent gathered, Qing Yu’s pupils—which had previously been calm and composed—were gradually taken over by the ominous hue of gray killing intent!

“No matter what else you have or what tricks you can pull, two paths lie before you. One is to hand over the Ancient Martial Arts Manual, and I’ll let you live. The other is death—every single one of you shall perish!”

Zhang Zhong’s voice carried a sinister edge as he stared at Qing Yu.

A fierce fight broke out between the two!

However, this time, the tide of the battle was entirely different from before!

Although Qing Yu’s cultivation appeared unchanged, his combat power had now soared to unimaginable heights.

Within a short time, the once-imposing Zhang Zhong was heavily wounded and forced to retreat in disgrace!

Yet while Zhang Zhong had the ability to escape, his soldiers were not so lucky!

Like chopping melons and slicing vegetables, Qing Yu ruthlessly slaughtered every single one of Zhang Zhong’s men!

“Long live the Crown Prince!”

Witnessing their Crown Prince vanquish even the mighty Zhang Zhong, Guan Hao cried out in exhilaration.

But before Guan Hao’s cheer could fade, a streak of gray energy pierced through his chest, tearing into his heart!

“C-Crown Prince…”

Gazing at the familiar face before him, staring at the arm that had stabbed into his chest, Guan Hao’s eyes were filled with disbelief.

He couldn’t—and wouldn’t—believe that Qing Yu’s arm would penetrate his chest!
