Chapter 175: Clash! Wu Yuan’s Might (1)

Jin Qing, who was bestowed with numerous treasures from the Great Jin royal family and was on the verge of entering the Heavenly Rankings, was confident that he could dominate the Fourth Eldritch Realm alone.

Initially, he had planned to leave Chu Ping, Bu Yu, Chang Dong, and the other experts to their own devices. Then on the fourth or fifth day of the treasure hunt, he would strike and snatch their loot.

After all, even though he was powerful, he couldnt outpace the other Grandmasters at finding treasures. Moreover, a bloody fight could easily lead to injuries or even deaths on Great Jins side. By then, if few of his team members were left, it would be difficult for them to find a good number of treasures.

But the appearance of the Eldritch Chamber changed his thinking.

Eldritches, these extremely powerful and unique qi refiners, do not solely determine their chosen inheritors based on pure strength. Numerous thoughts raced through Jin Qings mind.

Having perused the Amethyst Cradle Jade Record, Jin Qing possessed a deep understanding of the ancient qi refiners, and knew a thing or two about the power the eldritches held.

I cannot allow them to reach the Eldritch Chamber at any cost! Jin Qing's gaze turned as cold as ice.

The requirements for obtaining the inheritance within the Eldritch Chamber remained murky to him, and he had never seen the Eldritch Chamber. But one thing was crystal clear to him - if he allowed the group of Grandmasters in front of him, especially those from the former Chu empire, to inherit the eldritchs legacy, it would spell catastrophe for Great Jin.

As for the other treasures hidden within the Chu-Jiang Immortal Realm?

Be it the Redwood Spirit Fruits or the coveted Purplewood Spirit Fruits, they are of little use to me. Whether I receive fewer or more of them is of little consequence. Jin Qing meticulously weighed the advantages and drawbacks in an instant.

Ultimately, he came to a decision kill all members of the Former Chu Alliance.

Even if it meant giving up potential treasures or forsaking the inheritance of the Eldritch Chamber, he would not permit the enemy to receive the inheritance!

As a former north king of the Great Jin royal family, Jin Qing was someone who acted decisively.

While the three teams of Grandmasters and Savant experts were still pondering the meaning of the Eldritch Chamber, Jin Qing was already dozens of meters away from his original position. Even the experts from Great Jin hadn't reacted to this change yet.

It was worth noting that the training ground spanned approximately one li in length and breadth, around 500 meters, with each team occupying a corner. Great Jin and the Former Chu Alliance faced each other diagonally, with approximately 700 meters between them.

For any ordinary Grandmaster, crossing 700 meters would typically take close to half a breath, or three seconds. But Jin Qing defied expectations, bursting forth at speeds exceeding the sound barrier! His movements were as fluid as water and utterly silent.

Among all the experts present, only Wu Yuan, who possessed a far stronger soul compared to the other Great Grandmasters, was able to react instantly.

So fast! Wu Yuans expression instantly changed as he realized that Jin Qings speed far surpassed his own. Instantly, he concluded that Jin Qing was an unimaginably terrifying opponent.

So fast? And hes equipped with spirit armor? A trace of shock and anger flashed through Chu Ping's eyes. In that instant, he realized that Jin Qing had been hiding his true power.

Get lost! Enraged, Chu Ping's sleeve burst at the seams, revealing his muscular physique as he fiercely swung his own first-grade divine saber.

Boom! The clash between the two Great Grandmasters wielding their divine weapons created an explosive impact, generating a visible spherical shockwave that reverberated in all directions, strong enough to tear apart an ordinary person.

Rumble~ The ground, which was made of some absurdly strong material, only trembled momentarily.

As the shockwave rolled through the air, Grandmaster Bu Yu, who stood closest to the epicenter, only slowed down slightly, while the Grandmaster-level experts converging from various directions remained unaffected.

Yet, the faces of Chang Dong, Chu Jun, and even the yet-to-act Li Yan and Song Guang displayed a drastic change. The power that Jin Qing exhibited in their first clash was nothing short of terrifying, sending Chu Ping hurtling through the air, careening 30 zhangs away before violently tumbling on the metallic ground. In that head-on collision, Chu Ping found himself at an insurmountable disadvantage, robbed of any opportunity to react.

Swoosh! Like a bolt of black lightning, a sword descended from the sky with unyielding precision, aiming straight for Chu Ping's face. It was none other than Jin Qing. After sending Chu Ping flying with a single stroke of his sword, he had stepped back to disperse the force, then pushed off the ground, transforming into an indistinguishable blur as he lunged towards Chu Ping at the speed of sound.

In Jin Qing's view, injuring ten fingers wasnt as serious as severing one. Killing one enemy meant one less obstacle to overcome.

A resounding boom reverberated through the air as Chu Ping unleashed his full physical strength. His waist and back exerted a tremendous force as he propelled himself forward, narrowly evading the near-fatal strike. Simultaneously, his saber swung back, aimed squarely at Jin Qing.

However, an astonishing scene played out, leaving everyone in shock. Jin Qing, whose sword had missed its mark, paid no mind to the menacing saber attack. With the swiftness of a venomous snake, his sword swiftly changed its course.

With a resounding thwack, the saber struck Jin Qings armor.

Meanwhile, Jin Qings sword, smooth as silk, glided effortlessly through the gaps in the helmet and armor, piercing Chu Ping's neck as he watched on, horrified.

"No!" Bu Yu bellowed, her eyes burning with fury.

"Your Highness, watch out!" Chu Juns eyes widened in shock.

The force of Chu Pings strike sent Jin Qing stumbling to the side. However, fresh blood dripped from his sword.

A head soared through the air!

Driven by momentum, the headless body flew several zhangs forward before crashing heavily onto the ground, coming to a stop after rolling several times.

Chu Ping, the Baijiang King, was dead!
