Chapter 349 - 206: All of You Must Die!
One saber, one palm, one step, one roar!
The entire mountain cavern was thoroughly cleared.
Even those already aware of Chu Qing’s Martial Arts couldn’t help but gape.
Yet Cao Qiupu, who knew Chu Qing well, felt that the Third Young Master’s martial prowess was becoming increasingly inscrutable.
He still remembered fighting side by side in Divine Blade City.
Back then, Chu Qing’s Martial Arts had not reached this level.
This Palm Technique first appeared at Luochun Manor.
The boundless ice field was near Ghost God Gorge, only then did he see Chu Qing display it.
The twelve-zhang saber light, cutting in all directions, was used by Chu Qing for the first time just yesterday...
As for this Sound Skill, today was its first showing.
His methods seemed endless and limitless.
Although originally extremely brilliant, such dazzling variety and ceaseless techniques were still hard to believe.
Having lost the chess pieces that operated the winch, the mechanism above indeed ceased to function.
In truth, the Blood Pool had long been dried up. Only these chess pieces seemed to have been given some kind of instructions, working tirelessly in this place.
Seeing the chess pieces exterminated by Chu Qing, Gentle and the others entered the mountain cavern thoroughly ravaged by Chu Qing, coming to his side.
Chu Qing was looking at that blood channel, his brow furrowed.
"Third Brother, what are you looking at?"
Cao Qiupu approached and spoke softly.
Chu Qing seemed to snap back to reality, glanced at him, then let his gaze subtly sweep over Tie Xiaofeng:
"I’m wondering if we’ve come a step too late?"
Tie Xiaofeng was startled by his words:
"Third Young Master... are you saying... are you saying... No, that’s impossible!"
His tone was not because there was any real impossibility, simply because he didn’t want to believe it.
Chu Qing nodded:
"Perhaps I thought wrong. This blood channel reaches deep into the mountain wall, with hidden mysteries. What exactly do they intend to achieve with this blood and flesh?"
The end of the blood channel was a mountain wall, with a hollow leading downward, but where it landed was unknown.
They searched for a while and saw a doorway on one side of the mountain wall.
Stepping inside was a crevice in the mountain, and after passing through it was a tunnel. Walking down the path, the left side of the mountain wall had somehow turned into a wooden structure.
It seemed to be part of some giant building.
Scattered chess pieces wandered along the way.
Seeing people approach, they charged forward in attack.
Cao Qiupu and Beitang Zun were the first to act, slashing down the attacking chess pieces.
Chu Qing, hands behind his back, followed, his eyes scanning the surroundings, occasionally fixing on the mountain wall.
After a while, he softly spoke:
"Do you see that the color of this mountain wall’s crevices is somewhat different?"
The group looked closely and indeed saw a difference.
The crevices spread like a web, and the color within was a deep green, which seemed ominous.
But what this implied, the group couldn’t understand at once.
Beitang Zun softly spoke:
"This place lies beneath Ghost God Gorge, whose miasma has gathered for hundreds of years and doesn’t dissipate. Could it be that this miasma has accumulated in these crevices over the years?"
"It’s possible."
The group felt Beitang Zun’s words made sense.
Miasma not only disperses upward but also seeps downward.
"If miasma and the flesh and blood of countless people gather in one place, what would it form?"
As Chu Qing spoke, he suddenly sniffed.
He looked at the people present:
"Have any of you smelled a fragrance?"
The place felt like Asura Hell.
Yet in such a place, there was indeed a fragrance wafting?
Cao Qiupu and the others carefully sniffed, Ling Fei was the first to discern:
"Indeed there is a fragrance... it’s very fragrant!
"It’s the most fragrant thing I’ve ever smelled!"
The aroma drifted up from below.
But from this position, the scene below was still unclear.
The mountain path was circular, and after walking for a while longer, it opened up wide before them.
What lay before their eyes was a strange sight.
First into view was a massive building!
From the outside, the building was enormous, with red light shining from within, like numerous furnaces.
The entire structure rose to seven stories high.
The topmost level was likely connected to the blood channel, where the blood and flesh fell in.
Going downward to the third level, stone conduits extended from the mountain wall to connect to the building.
The heaviest concentration of the fragrance was also here.
At the bottommost level, the interior was hollow, with a stone platform in the center that was empty.
Beside this building was a large pool.
The walls were covered in a green hue, gathering in the pool, forming a full pool of ghastly green liquid.
A thin mist hung over the pool.
Two wooden stakes stood at the pool’s edge, with two people tied to them.
Tie Lingyun and Tie Xiaoyang.
Tie Xiaofeng cried out as soon as he saw them:
"Father, second brother!"
But the two did not respond to him; their hands and feet were bound, heads drooping, unconscious.
Without time to think, Tie Xiaofeng rushed forward to rescue them.
Yet he was held back by Cao Qiupu, who pressed his shoulder:
"Be careful."
Tie Xiaofeng turned to look at him, and Cao Qiupu intended to use the sacrificial goose to test whether the green liquid was poisonous.
But upon raising it, he realized that the goose had already been killed by Chu Qing’s Vajra Zen Lion’s Roar.
It had been tied with a rope, held in hand, and unnoticed until now.
He hesitated slightly, then tossed the dead goose’s body onto the green liquid.
