Ch 256: The Xingluo Ancestor
Hearing that sound, Duan Mengqing and Commander Chen’s expressions changed. They both sensed an immensely powerful force.
In an instant, a figure in red clothes, like a streak of light, rushed towards the carriage.
“Stop him!”
Commander Chen and Duan Mengqing immediately intercepted in front of the carriage.
Simultaneously, they unleashed a palm strike at the red figure!
Seeing this, the two quickly mobilized their True Qi, both using almost their full strength against this palm strike.
They exerted their Heavenly Gang Realm cultivation to its fullest extent.
Bang!
When the three palm strikes collided, the surging True Qi caused ripples in space itself; the ground around them exploded with a loud boom!
But at this moment, Commander Chen and Duan Mengqing spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backward.
The two flew a long distance.
They crashed heavily to the ground.
The black armor on Commander Chen was now shattered.
“Commander!”
“Director!”
The Demon Suppression Division and the Black Armored Army were all shocked.
Their Commander and Director’s strength was considerable even among Heavenly Gang Realm experts, yet they were sent flying with a single palm strike.
When everyone’s gaze converged on the red figure, they discovered that it was actually an elderly person in red clothes.
The old man was already so thin as to be skin and bones, giving off a frail and flickering impression.
He seemed as if he might fall down at any moment.
Yet this was the person who had repelled Commander Chen and Duan Mengqing with a single palm strike.
“Greetings, Old Ancestor.”
Upon seeing the elderly person in red, the people of Star Luo Kingdom respectfully paid their respects.
Duan Mengqing and Commander Chen looked at the elderly person in red. Their expressions were filled with disbelief.
“Chu Shenqiao!”
“You’re still alive.”
They could hardly believe it.
Once the Number One Expert of Star Luo Kingdom, Chu Shenqiao, also known as the Star Luo War Immortal.
That was a glorious era.
He once single-handedly held back the Divine Palace’s army of one hundred thousand.
He slaughtered the Divine Palace’s one hundred thousand strong army until they were routed, and even under the protection of the one hundred thousand strong army, their General still had his head taken by Chu Shenqiao.
Later, it was only through sheer numbers that they exhausted most of Chu Shenqiao’s strength. Finally, Duan Wulou and another expert from the Dragon Court joined forces to defeat Chu Shenqiao.
But shouldn’t Chu Shenqiao have died in that battle?
He’s still alive?
“Unexpectedly, someone still remembers this old man’s Title,” Chu Shenqiao glanced at the two.
“Cough, cough.”
Chu Shenqiao coughed lightly twice.
He was once a top expert of Dongyan Province. Later, he suffered severe injuries, resulting in his current strength being far inferior to his peak condition. Otherwise, with that previous palm strike, Commander Chen and Duan Mengqing would have already turned into a puddle of corpses.
Chu Shenqiao’s gaze fell upon the carriage, and he walked towards it step by step.
At this time, the battle in the field had already ceased.
With Chu Shenqiao’s appearance, they dared not move at all.
Chu Shenqiao’s aura made them feel as if a great mountain were suppressing them.
Even the people of the Demon Suppression Division could only watch helplessly as Chu Shenqiao approached the carriage.
Chu Shenqiao casually waved his hand, and the carriage curtain flew up.
Sun Yaoxian was sitting properly in the carriage, currently closing his eyes in meditation.
Seeing Chu Shenqiao approach, Sun Yaoxian slowly opened his eyes.
Facing Chu Shenqiao, Sun Yaoxian did not show any fear, but calmly said: “What must come will come. I didn’t expect the renowned Star Luo War Immortal to personally come and kill me. I am truly honored.”
“Fate plays tricks.”
Chu Shenqiao looked at Sun Yaoxian in front of him, shook his head, and said: “If there’s anyone in Jianghu who can cure my injuries, I believe it is only Divine Doctor Sun. But unfortunately, before I even had the chance for you to cure me, I must kill you.”
“Since you’re here to kill me, then let’s stop wasting words and make your move,” Sun Yaoxian said.
“A true man.”
Chu Shenqiao slowly raised his hand, his sleeves fluttering without a breeze: “Blame the Emperor of your Divine Palace Kingdom. He led you to your death.”
Pfft!
Chu Shenqiao extended a finger.
A Qi Force pierced directly through Sun Yaoxian’s head.
A bloody hole appeared on Sun Yaoxian’s forehead.
His aura instantly dissipated.
Sun Yaoxian was dead.
Commander Chen and Duan Mengqing’s expressions drastically changed.
They ultimately failed to protect the Medicine King.
Allowing the Medicine King to perish here.
“Rest in peace.”
Chu Shenqiao stepped forward, extending his hand to close Sun Yaoxian’s eyes.
However, at this moment, Chu Shenqiao’s body violently trembled. His eyes widened in disbelief.
His body staggered back a step. He looked down at his chest.
A palm had pierced his body, passing through his back and emerging from his chest.
This sudden event stunned everyone present.
They hadn’t noticed when someone appeared behind Chu Shenqiao.
“Star Luo War Immortal, farewell.”
The voice said faintly.
With these words, the Heaven and Earth around them changed; all space and time distorted. The scene before them seemed unchanged, but everyone realized that the current scene was different from before.
What shocked them even more was that Sun Yaoxian’s corpse, originally in the carriage, slowly dissipated at this moment.
It vanished into thin air.
“Whoosh!”
A scroll flew out from a void crack.
The scroll curled up and fell into the mysterious person’s hands.
“Void Scroll…”
“Innate Spirit Treasure!”
Chu Shenqiao looked at the person who had ambushed him in disbelief, unable to help but spit out blood, saying: “Dao Canggu, the Number One Assassin of the Blood Sacrifice Pavilion.”
“It is I.”
After Dao Canggu finished speaking, he withdrew his palm from Chu Shenqiao’s body.
Chu Shenqiao knelt on the ground.
His injuries were not healed, and his previous actions were already his utmost effort. Now, ambushed by Dao Canggu, it was almost a death blow.
“Old Ancestor!”
Mengwei’s eyes turned red.
He rushed forward, drawing his sword and attacking Dao Canggu.
But Dao Canggu didn’t even look at Mengwei. He struck Mengwei with a palm from a distance, causing him to spit blood and fly far away.
“It was all a lie, it was all a lie,” Chu Shenqiao laughed wildly, “So that’s how it is.”
“As long as you pay, your Blood Sacrifice Pavilion will do anything. No wonder your Blood Sacrifice Pavilion didn’t accept the assassination contract of Yu Qinghe and the Emperor. You already took the Emperor’s contract, hahaha!”
“Chu Jiao, you may control Star Luo’s power, but you are truly inferior to your younger brother!”
“The path ahead… you must walk it yourselves…”
Chu Shenqiao said these words with tears, and finally fell to the ground with regret.
A legendary strongman, thus perished.
