Night Without End-Chapter 899 - 441: Showdown with Cui Chonghe

Qin Ming had been with the Cui Family for over a decade. It wasn’t until they abandoned him, leaving him to face a deadly predicament, that he realized he was merely a stand-in.

His skull had once fractured, leading to his exile to Black and White Mountain. In the icy wilderness, an attack from his head injury left him struggling in a deathly state, nearly insane, and utterly miserable, until he eventually ended up in Shuangshu Village.

Reflecting on the past briefly, Qin Ming felt no ripples in his heart. The road ahead was long, and his gaze must stretch afar.

Cui Chonghe, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, his black hair gleaming, and his Feather Robe fluttering, appeared ethereal and otherworldly, akin to an immortal as he approached step by step.

His initial attitude towards Qin Ming was one of indifference, treating him like a sacrificial servant raised by the family. Only after hearing of Qin Ming’s extraordinary talent did he cast a brief glance his way.

However, he still didn’t care much. Outwardly humble and low-profile, like a transcendent immortal, yet internally strong and confident, he never believed that a substitute could stir any waves.

Soon after, a series of events saw Qin Ming rapidly rise on the Newborn Road, gradually making him realize a sense of unease.

Yet, Cui Chonghe remained confident, having once said, "In the end, he’s just a stand-in and will eventually return to his rightful place."

Until finally, Cui Chonghe began to feel some dread.

He even couldn’t resist taking action during the terrifying period approaching the Night Ruins. He once intended to head to Black and White Mountain but was stopped by his master Sun Taichu.

At this moment, Cui Chonghe had no idea who the person before him was.

He didn’t need to pursue his origins. Bathed in three types of Immortal Light, in a state where his spirit was at its most harmonious, he was supremely confident, daring to compete with the old monsters here!

Upon ascending the stage, he didn’t speak at all, directly taking action. In his eyes, the ranking of eighty was far from enough—this was merely scenery along his way. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Cui Chonghe pointed with his right hand, Immortal Light rippling, runes intertwining, and a lantern manifested.

Initially, the lantern emitted a gentle glow.

But instantly, its light became dazzling, and the entire Sword Fighting Platform was enveloped in its Immortal Light, seemingly capable of breaking the midnight sky.

Cui Chonghe’s belief was strong, his mind detached, yet he didn’t underestimate his opponent, immediately operating an extraordinarily powerful Immortal Scripture "Primordial Beginning."

In terms of literal meaning, its concept was very lofty.

The clanging sound echoed continuously in the air. A single lantern illuminated the world, its emitted light appearing to have a tangible quality, akin to sword beams sweeping across the entire Sword Fighting Platform.

Qin Ming’s eyes were deep. This was his first confrontation with Cui Chonghe, initially sensing the opponent’s style, unleashing a big move full of meaning right upon taking the stage.

In the distance, Cui Chongxiao commented in secret, "Chong He likes playing high-stakes games."

Before Qin Ming, a Pure Yang Flying Sword rose, carrying a heavy flow of black particles, bearing an intense aura of slaughter.

Advanced Sword Cultivators all know to refine evil within sword light, increasing its power. If one could collect Sacred Evil, it would naturally be even more terrifying.

This Pure Yang Flying Sword from Qin Ming slashed through Night Fog, with black tides surging behind it, releasing real and clear sounds of a tsunami.

This spectacle of Sword Evil stunned many young ones, who then felt envious.

They realized this must have integrated top-tier Water Attribute Sacred Evil!

With one sword strike from Qin Ming, the atmosphere stirred, Pure Yang Sword Qi spread everywhere, the tangible sword light resembled the boundless sea, stirring up tumultuous waves.

With a reverberating sound, the tidal wave of Sword Evil submerged the lantern.

Evidently, this sword contained Sword Evil of wind and thunder attributes as well. They intermingled, the wind stirring up colossal waves, the thunder striking the sea surface, far exceeding the young Sword Cultivators’ expectations.

Qin Ming did not underestimate Cui Chonghe; since the other wanted to play a high-level game from the start, he couldn’t be too shabby.

On the Sword Fighting Platform, a lantern flowing with Tao Rhythm seemed to "sweep away the old and usher in the new," using the flame of civilization to dispel darkness and reshape the old order.

"Primordial Beginning," this Immortal Scripture certainly had a lofty notion, yet in a Third Realm confrontation, it was indeed overkill, unable to exert its expected might.

In comparison, Qin Ming’s Sword Evil was rather down-to-earth, very suitable for competition.

This sword seemed to rise from the vast sea, carrying a tidal wave of Sword Qi breaking a dam, accompanied by the momentum of a Kunpeng spreading its wings towards the sky, enveloping the lantern.

With a booming sound, in the tidal wave of Sword Evil, the massive form of the Kunpeng was overwhelmingly oppressive, amidst the winds and thunders, leaping over the sea to strike at the Primordial Tao Lantern.

"Are you crazy? Is this really the Tao Rhythm that someone ranked eighth can showcase?"

Below the Sword Fighting Platform, many were astonished, feeling that with these two’s means and power, they should be able to rank within the top sixty.

The lantern nurtured by the Tao Rhythm dimmed and shattered, the Sword Evil tidal wave receded as well. It was only the first clash, yet both had started with some intensity, exceeding people’s expectations.

The fierce fight on the Sword Fighting Platform naturally didn’t cease. In an instant, the Sword Qi underwent a thousand transformations, winds and thunders roared, and the black Sword Evil surged incessantly, constantly sweeping forward.

"Hmm?" Cui Chonghe sensed something was amiss, his Five Elements out of balance, water vapor rising, and his body seemed to be going out of control.

His face slightly stiffened, his ethereal aura was gone. Was this trying to make him follow in Gu Yanci’s footsteps? There was no way he’d allow himself such disgrace.

Cui Chonghe let out a light shout, with three different Immortal Lights flashing fiercely around him, shielding him inside.

At the same time, a dense network of runes before him condensed into one Divine Nail after another, exuding a very dangerous Qi Mechanism, and then shot out explosively.

Cui Chonghe’s combat awareness was strong; he knew his actions weren’t grounded enough just now, and he corrected it immediately.

This was a Pure Yang Divine Nail tempered in the Spiritual Field, engraved with various mysterious patterns. Once it pierces into an opponent’s consciousness, it can annihilate their mind and spirit!

Qin Ming was very pragmatic, not starting by wielding various Suppression-level Immortal Scriptures.

He was testing the waters, carefully assessing Cui Chonghe, understanding his methods to prepare for future real conflicts and battles on the land of Ye State.
