Chapter 176: Chapter 121: Never Let Grudges Last Overnight The sound of a blade being sheathed reached the ears of everyone present, and it was only then that they awoke from their daze.
Gazing at the beheaded Jade Dragon Old Immortal, some found it hard to believe; this old scoundrel who had wreaked havoc in the Martial World for years, bringing ruin to many good families and handsome young men, had truly died right before their eyes.
Si Ye looked at Chu Qing with a complex expression, watching as he stepped over to Jade Dragon Old Immortal’s corpse.
He searched the headless body for a moment and surprisingly took out a small booklet.
"There actually is..."
Chu Qing’s eyes narrowed slightly, noting that the booklet was only palm-sized, very light and thin.
On the cover, it was inscribed, "Rebellious Divine Skill."
"...Rebellious Divine Skill?"
Chu Qing furrowed his brows, as he had not heard of this martial art before.
"Congratulations, Third Young Master."
Wen Kaiyuan’s voice came through just then, as he and Wen Pingce approached.
Chu Qing smiled:
"What do you mean, Second Master Wen? What celebration is this?"
"Of course, congratulations to the Third Young Master for killing the Jade Dragon Old Immortal, from now on his fame will grow even greater.
"And he acquired this Rebellious Divine Skill, which surely means his martial arts prowess will soon reach a new height!"
Wen Kaiyuan spoke sincerely.
Chu Qing took the opportunity to ask:
"Second Master Wen, do you know about this Rebellious Divine Skill?"
"I’ve heard a bit."
Wen Kaiyuan nodded:
"Third Young Master should know, the inheritance in the Martial World has been continuous for hundreds of years, with constant disputes, many Secret Techniques of the past have been buried in the dust.
"The Demon Dao folks have the Blood Transformation Divine Palm, which is a fusion of past remnants combined.
"The Rebellious Divine Skill was developed in a similar way...
"It was said there was once a martial art called the Inconsistent Wheel Technique, which upon mastery, would cause one’s Inner Breath to reverse.
"This allowed force to be emitted ahead, bringing chaotic strength from all directions, leaving foes disoriented.
"However, time changes and circumstances alter, the Inconsistent Wheel Technique was lost long ago, later generations picked up its essence and combined it with their own understandings, thereby evolving it into the Rebellious Divine Skill."
Chu Qing had neither heard of the Inconsistent Wheel Technique nor the Rebellious Divine Skill.
Still, he guessed that the Mysterious Skill that Jade Dragon Old Immortal had displayed was likely this one...
And it seems he had just started learning.
It was only until he was nearing death that he could merge the Rebellious Divine Skill with his Yangyang Infinite Skill.
Resulting in that brilliant strike.
Unfortunately... not every outburst before death succeeds.
At least this time Jade Dragon Old Immortal’s outburst seemed too crude in Chu Qing’s view.
Though the offense appeared overwhelming, in truth it had many openings.
Leaving him vulnerable to a direct decapitation strike.
It was precisely because he felt this martial art was still in its infancy that Chu Qing thought to search and see if he could find anything, unexpectedly gaining a reward.
Immediately he tucked the Secret Manual into his robes, clasped his hands, and smiled:
"Thank you for the enlightenment."
"Second Brother, what’s the story with this little brother?"
Wen Pingce was long eager, and seeing the conversation end, hastily spoke up.
"Haven’t introduced you yet."
Wen Kaiyuan laughed:
"This is Rou’Er’s friend, the Mad Saber Third Young Master who recently made a name for himself in Divine Blade City.
"Now the elder brother has invited him to preside over the martial arts marriage tournament."
"I see."
Wen Pingce quickly said:
"Earlier, thanks to the little brother’s rescue, otherwise I would likely have lost my life.
"Such a life-saving grace, I am unable to repay. Brother, how about we become sworn brothers?"
"??"
Chu Qing’s eyes carried great confusion.
