System: I Can Open Martial Arts Chests-Chapter 56: They Don’t Dare

For the first time in his past and present life, Chu Qing witnessed such a scene.

A large group of experts clashed without saying a word.

Various techniques emerged endlessly: True Qi, Inner Strength, Palm Momentum, Fist Wind, Sword Light, Sword Shadow.

In just a moment, Tang Xi’s courtyard seemed to have been struck by a natural disaster.

Chu Qing was not in a hurry to act; he was observing.

The system’s ’Assassination Order’ conditions were clear, as long as someone was killed, it would suffice.

But killing requires methods.

As an assassin, he couldn’t possibly entangle directly with others face-to-face.

He had to minimize the cost and kill as many as possible... until the end.

Only then could he make this commission maximize its benefits.

But as he watched, Chu Qing noticed a problem, then asked Wu Qianhuan, who for some reason hadn’t acted yet:

"Why choose here?"

This question was abrupt, and Wu Qianhuan failed to understand it for a moment.

He looked at Chu Qing with surprise:

"What?"

"The secret path leads to Cicada Forest, a place where nobody goes, rumored to be haunted.

"There’s no populace of Celestial Dance City there.

"You could completely use Tang Yinfeng to lure them to Cicada Forest, have the Celestial Dance Guard surround them, trapping them like turtles in a jar.

"Why must you lure them into Celestial Dance City?"

When Chu Qing said this, his eyes slightly narrowed:

"They now... seem disinterested in fighting."

These words instantly caused a loud bang in Wu Qianhuan’s mind.

Yes!

Luring the enemy into a trap, the secret path was indeed an excellent condition.

But here was actually not the most suitable place to strike.

Once they break free...

Thinking of this, sure enough, several figures suddenly abandoned the entanglement with their opponents and flew away in all directions.

Gu Qianqiu brought along all skilled fighters of Celestial Dance City today.

Chu Qing had previously distinguished them: Gu Qianqiu, Valley Master, Grand Elder Yu Muhua, Second Elder Hu Xiufang, Third Elder Fang Wenxiu... almost everyone Wu Qianhuan mentioned was present.

Among these people, the elder’s martial arts, though not as good as Chu Yunfei and Wu Ganqi, were only slightly inferior.

Now this group wanted to leave, and their opponents couldn’t retain them, causing them to chase wildly.

Seeing this, Wu Qianhuan’s heart tightened. Just in time, a group flew past nearby, she turned around without hesitation and chased after them.

Chu Qing was about to speak, and then frowned slightly.

He had been paying close attention to Chu Yunfei’s situation.

Approaching Chu Yunfei was not Vice Valley Master Wu Qingshan... but five assassins from Mirror of Sin.

They seemed to want to continue the failed assassination earlier and complete this deal.

And these five were no ordinary people, surrounding Chu Yunfei, although unable to kill him instantly, it seemed it was also not easy for Chu Yunfei to kill them.

"Five Ghost Rakshas..."

As Chu Qing observed the martial arts of these five, he understood.

The five had a title in Mirror of Sin, called ’Five Ghost Rakshas’, they would always act together and form an array to face the enemy.

So far, none of the targets they’ve locked on have been able to escape their [Five Ghosts Demon Array].

Thoughts racing, Chu Qing shifted his steps, using the cover of night and surrounding sword light and shadows, he reached the side of Chu Yunfei.

At this moment, Chu Yunfei in the battle circle was astonished.

This Five Ghosts Demon Array linked one ring after another, and the Inner Strength of these five seemed to be mutually facile.

With the five working together, even he had to back down for now.

"Mirror of Sin is indeed not to be underestimated... no wonder Qing’Er is so cautious."

Thinking of this, his heart was filled with hatred.

It was due to the persistent haunt of Mirror of Sin that his son dared not return home openly.

Before, he didn’t know, but now that he did, how could he let them off?

With a turn of thoughts, Ruo Xu Scripture spun, and strands of azure light circled around him. As the killing move was about to strike, a color suddenly sliced through the night.

This scene arrived silently, but besides Chu Yunfei, the two Ghost Rakshas standing at the back also saw it.

But seeing was not enough...

The one sword was too fast.

Like flowing light, like a falling star, the brilliance flashed and the long sword had already pierced through a man’s throat.

That man was oblivious to everything that happened, appearing bewildered by the long sword that suddenly pierced through his neck.

Only when the whistling sword sound reached his ears did he suddenly realize what had happened.

He couldn’t even leave a dying word... pushed away forcefully, leaving his original place.

When Chu Qing threw the sword-held man away.

The man had long lost his breath.

In an instant, four shadows simultaneously retreated as if seeing a ghost!

Exchanging glances, they could all see the deep dread in each other’s eyes.

With that one sword... who could evade?

As this question arose in their minds, the conclusion was that no one could escape!

In other words, this inexplicable, unknown black-clad figure could kill whoever he wanted, whoever he targeted was destined to die!

Fear surged instantly in their hearts, no one dared to rashly act a single bit.

Chu Qing glanced at his mission interface.

[Commission: Assassination Order!]

[Current Progress: One.]

[Mission Reward: Choose one from the Martial Arts Treasure Chest.]

[Current selectable chest: Fist Treasure Chest.]

Apparently, people of Mirror of Sin also counted within the range of the assassination order.

After all, Wu Qianhuan only mentioned people coming out of the secret path today, not specifically Valley of Myriad Nights.

Suddenly, Chu Yunfei shouted loudly:

"What exquisite sword technique!!"

This abrupt voice startled Chu Qing who had just found his assassin state.

He couldn’t help but give him a sideways glance.

Chu Yunfei was utterly unconcerned... at the previous banquet, he already wanted to praise his son’s extremely exquisite sword technique.

However, at that time he had to play the role of an ’old man surviving a near-death’, and couldn’t speak those words aloud.

Now he finally had an opportunity. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Chu Qing was speechless, about to take action again, when he heard Chu Yunfei lower his voice:

"Where’s Qianhuan? Why isn’t she by your side?"

"...She went after those who broke the siege."

Chu Qing also replied in a low voice: "Once I’m done here, I’ll go find her."

"Foolish!"

Chu Yunfei’s face darkened:

"It’s not urgent on my side. Go find your wife first..."

"I..."

Chu Qing’s face darkened, influenced by memories that almost made him confront Chu Yunfei right here.

However, he quickly regained his composure and suppressed the words that were about to come out.

One Ghost Rakshas was dead, the remaining four were not to be feared.

Seeing Chu Yunfei’s insistence, he no longer said more:

"Be careful..."

After speaking, he stepped and flew away.

The surrounding Four Ghost Rakshas did not obstruct him, allowing him to come and go after killing.

The ultimate reason was singular, which was... they dared not block him.

Whoever blocked, would die!
