Chapter 116

"Boom!"

The True Qi Long Spear swung down, smashing a shallow pit into the ground, sending dust and smoke flying.

Chen Che's figure, however, had already leaped into the air; at the same time, he changed his hand seals, and thirteen Silver Needles quickly connected end-to-end, wrapped in layers of True Qi, using the line of Silver Needles as a core skeleton to transform into a long sword.

Chen Che gripped the hilt and, the moment he landed, shot forward to launch an attack on Luo Tianxiang.

The night was like ink, and the moonlight was like silver, spilling into the Daoist temple courtyard, which had been ruined by the fierce battle.

Chen Che held the True Qi Long Sword; the sword body was slender and the blade sharp, every swing carrying the sound of wind, flowing as smoothly as water.

His movements were elegant yet powerful, every attack accurate and unerring, the tip of the sword tracing streaks of silver light under the moonlight, as if it were the brightest star in the night sky.

Luo Tianxiang's face was ferocious as he swung his long spear; the spear was like a dragon, its tip sharp and its shaft tough.

Every one of his thrusts was full of power, the long spear rotating in his hands like a violent storm, every attack carrying the sound of tearing through the air, the spear tip tracing lightning-like trajectories under the moonlight.

The battle between the two grew increasingly intense, the sound of sword and spear colliding echoing in the night sky, sparks flying everywhere.

Chen Che pinched a seal with his left hand and held the sword with his right, his sword techniques varied and unpredictable, sometimes like a gentle breeze brushing the face, other times like a violent storm, making him difficult to fathom.

Luo Tianxiang's moves were primarily fierce and forceful, every spear thrust full of power, aimed directly at Chen Che's vitals.

Under the moonlight, the figures of the two were like two streaks of light, moving rapidly and attacking in an interlocking dance.

Sword light was like a weave, spear shadows like a dragon; every clash was a matter of life and death!

As the battle progressed, both of their physical strength was gradually being depleted, but their wills were becoming increasingly firm.

Another fierce collision occurred, and Chen Che changed the seal in his left hand, causing a layer of blue electric current to attach to the body of the True Qi Long Sword, wriggling and twisting like little insects.

"Bang!!"

The True Qi Long Sword and the True Qi Long Spear struck and touched, and with the aid of the electric current, the long sword successfully sliced the long spear into two pieces.

Luo Tianxiang was greatly shocked, and before he could react, the True Qi Long Sword had already thrust toward his face, as swift and fierce as a venomous snake.

Luo Tianxiang retreated urgently, releasing a True Qi Shield to defend himself.

"Zheng!!"

The True Qi Long Sword struck the True Qi Shield, emitting a metallic ringing sound, followed by the electric current gathering at the tip of the sword, and a crisp snapping sound rang out.

A small hole was opened in the True Qi Shield by the electric current, and the True Qi Long Sword drove straight in, cutting open Luo Tianxiang's cheek.

Luo Tianxiang's figure paused, and he poured all his strength into striking True Qi toward Chen Che.

Chen Che quickly retracted his sword and held it horizontally in front of his chest, blocking the blow.

The two pulled apart again, and the battle entered a halftime break.

"Not bad, kid, you've got some skill, stronger than your father."

Blood slid vertically down Luo Tianxiang's face, leaving a long bloody trail that made his already cold and hard face look even more ferocious.

"Shut up, you aren't worthy of mentioning my father!"

Chen Che's anger surged, and he shot out again, electric light flickering on the sword body, the energy violent.

True Qi surged through Luo Tianxiang's body, and this time he conjured two battle axes from his hands, but he suddenly froze—Chen Che's figure had disappeared from his field of vision!

Luo Tianxiang was full of vigilance, searching rapidly, when suddenly his back felt cold; he turned around quickly, crossing his True Qi Battle Axes to block in front of him.

"Boom!"

However,

The long sword thrust forward, a clap of thunder exploded, and the lightning on the sword body directly shattered the True Qi Battle Axes.

"Puchi!"

The True Qi Long Sword pierced through Luo Tianxiang's shoulder; he was once again shocked, and he directly covered his hands with True Qi and gripped the sword hilt.

"Wah~"

Luo Tianxiang spat out a mouthful of blood, his face full of disbelief as he asked, "You... what Secret Technique is this?"

"The Secret Technique to kill you!"

Chen Che gripped the hilt with both hands, attempting to slice off Luo Tianxiang's entire arm.

"Hmph, this won't kill me... Ah!!!"

Luo Tianxiang roared, his hands suddenly exerting force, and with a metallic clang, the True Qi Long Sword shattered.

Chen Che sneered, pinched a seal with one hand, and paused in front of him: "Transform!"

The shattered sword body transformed into streaks of True Qi Little Snakes, which darted onto Luo Tianxiang's body and bit into every part of him!

The fangs of the True Qi Little Snakes injected the electric toxin into his body.

The electric current entered his body and exploded rapidly!

"Bang bang bang..."

A continuous series of muffled sounds exploded from all the Acupoints on Luo Tianxiang's body.

"Wah~"

Luo Tianxiang knelt on one knee, spitting out a large mouthful of blood; all his Acupoints were bleeding, and he had almost become a bloody person.

The True Qi Little Snakes dissipated, and the Silver Needles floated back to Chen Che's side.

Under the moonlight, Chen Che looked like a majestic and domineering monarch, coldly watching the sinner who had offended him receive his due punishment.

"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"

Luo Tianxiang raised his head with difficulty, his eyes full of terror as he looked at Chen Che. He wasn't surprised that Chen Che had come prepared, but he hadn't expected his Secret Technique to be so powerful!

There was no longer any suspense in this battle; he had lost!

"Tell me, why did you kill my father? And who are the people hunting me down?"

Chen Che spoke calmly, his tone composed yet revealing an unquestionable majesty, "If you answer truthfully, I can consider letting you die a little more easily."

"Hehehe..."

Luo Tianxiang let out a sinister laugh, "I won't be the one dying; the one who will die is you!"

Fierce Battle

Luo Tianxiang took a Pill out of his pocket and swallowed it in one gulp.

Chen Che's expression froze; this was bad!

"Even if I die, I'm taking you down with me!"

The Acupoints all over Luo Tianxiang's body healed, and his True Qi surged once more, but he did not launch an attack at Chen Che; instead, he turned and sprinted toward the small courtyard where he lived.

He knew very well that in his current state, he could not kill Chen Che; only by consuming more Pills could he kill Chen Che.

"Don't even think about it!"

Chen Che realized the small courtyard was where the Pills were stored and immediately mobilized his Silver Needle to launch an attack to stop him.

However, Luo Tianxiang performed a forward roll to dodge the strike of the Silver Needle and rushed toward the small courtyard without looking back.

Having missed with one strike, it was too late to launch another attack, so Chen Che had no choice but to give chase at high speed.

Inside the house where Luo Tianxiang lived.

When Chen Che and Luo Tianxiang first made contact, Yang Simin had opened the entrance to the Secret Chamber inside the room and pulled Li Qingyan inside to hide.

"There's actually a place like this? What is it used for!?" Li Qingyan's expression was one of surprise as she looked around.

The Secret Chamber was separated from Luo Tianxiang's bedroom by only one wall, but the interior of the Secret Chamber was very empty, furnished only with a few tables, and on the tables were over a dozen sandalwood boxes.

"This is what you were looking for, the storage room for the Pills."

Yang Simin put on Li Qingyan's coat, opened a box, grabbed a handful of purple Pills, and stuffed them into her pocket.

Li Qingyan hurried over and asked, "Then do you know where the Alchemist is?"

Yang Simin shook her head: "I have never seen such a person."

"Oh."

Li Qingyan pondered for a moment and asked again: "Then do you know the sources and details of the various medicinal herbs? Do you have them?"

"Are you trying to ask if there is evidence of collusion between the Martial Arts Alliance and the Magic Capital Family?"

Yang Simin was sharp-minded and thought of the main point.

"That's exactly what I mean, is there any?" Li Qingyan felt there was a chance and her spirits rose.

Yang Simin, however, looked at Li Qingyan and retorted: "Why should I tell you?"

"Uh..."

Li Qingyan was choked for words.

"You are Chen Che's person. I'm only not killing you because you gave me your coat; don't expect me to help you any further."

Yang Simin kept a straight face and said haughtily.

Li Qingyan was furious, reached out her hand, and said irritably: "Then give my coat back!"

Yang Simin decisively took off the coat and returned it to Li Qingyan.

Li Qingyan had intended to lash out, but seeing that she was covered in wounds, she couldn't bear it and draped it back over her: "Just wear it, wear it, it's better if you wear it."

Yang Simin looked at Li Qingyan, wanting to say something but hesitating.

"Bang!"

At this moment, the wall of the Secret Chamber was smashed open from the outside, and Luo Tianxiang charged in.
