System: I Can Open Martial Arts Chests-Chapter 85 - 75: Chaotic God Saber and Divine Sound Sword (Part 2)
He took two deep breaths fiercely, sweating profusely, and watched the figure that was kicked flying away with vigilance:
"There is something wrong with that knife; it seems to disturb one’s mind. Be careful!!"
As he spoke, the figure stood up once more.
Chu Qing and the others could now see clearly that it was a young man.
He looked about twenty years old, wearing an apron used for blacksmithing, with strong muscles and robust physique.
But his expression was dull, his eyes pitch black, without even a trace of white.
His right hand was covered in grim scars, and a knife seemed bonded to it.
The blade was as black as ink, with a crimson edge; the handle was entwined with gold and silver, appearing quite extraordinary.
On the handle, there were two blood-red characters: Chaotic God!
At this moment, he slightly rotated the knife’s edge, and a faint sound of the knife humming emanated from the blade, buzzing — upon hearing it, one felt a faint sense of dizziness.
Shi Ye frowned slightly, feeling somewhat uncomfortable.
However, Chu Qing, with the Mingyu Scripture within him, possessed inner clarity and was unaffected by this sound.
At the same time, those villagers on the ground with broken spines, who could not stand or move, suddenly stopped struggling.
Conversely, the young man holding the Chaotic God Saber suddenly had his momentum surge at this moment.
With a single step, the ground exploded with a loud boom.
The Chaotic God Saber whipped up a blade light as black as ink, slicing towards Du Hanyan in the blink of an eye.
Even though Du Hanyan was prepared this time, her mind still fell into a trance the instant she gazed at the blade’s edge.
Forgotten was whether it was day or night, unaware of the passing years.
Seeing her about to perish under the blade, a hand suddenly grabbed the young man’s shoulder and flung him away.
The one who acted was Cao Qiupu.
Having succeeded with one move, he couldn’t help but shake his head:
"What kind of Ghost Saber is this? It truly can disturb one’s mind... Those without enough inner power, don’t come near.
"Miss Du, step back a bit as well."
As the words fell, he took down the Golden Sword from his back.
White Horse traverses the Martial World alone, Golden Sword cuts through the evil sound for miles.
The first half of the phrase refers to his companion Brother Bai, the latter half speaks of his martial arts.
His entire cultivation was centered on this Golden Sword.
Its name was Divine Sound!
Cao Qiupu turned the Golden Sword, grasping the hilt with one hand, and slowly drew the blade.
As each part was drawn, a sound resonated through the air.
The sight was remarkably strange; Chu Qing pulled Shi Ye back, stepping away. He preferred not to show off, and with a taller person leading upfront, he was naturally content to watch from behind.
Therefore, he saw clearly that the Golden Sword was actually hollow.
Its internal structure was extremely special, and as the sword was drawn, inner strength transmitted to the blade, as if someone was playing a flute. Every inch drawn changed the sound slightly.
The sword performed the five tones ’Gong’, ’Shang’, ’Jue’, ’Zhi’, ’Yu’, yet it wasn’t enough; three successive high-pitched sounds followed, finally bringing the sword completely out of its sheath.
"Divine Sound Sword!!"
A gleam flashed in Du Hanyan’s eyes.
Everyone knows of White Horse Golden Sword Cao Qiupu, but what kind of sword this is, few people actually know.
Because this sword rarely emerges from its sheath, and with Cao Qiupu’s own martial skills, he can cope with most opponents sufficiently.
But Du Hanyan knew the sword’s name, and also knew the Sword Technique Cao Qiupu used was called [Seven Rhymes Celestial Sound Sword Technique].
When the sword is unsheathed, it sounds like the celestial music.
The word ’sound’ in the phrase ’cut through the evil sound’ refers to this.
In an instant, as Cao Qiupu unsheathed the Divine Sound Sword, the young man had already returned.
But this time, before the blade light could envelop them, a musical sound suddenly echoed around.
Oooh!!!
The ground roared, with sand and stones flying, doors and windows clattering around, and the waterfall nearby splashing with vigor.
With this sound assisting, Cao Qiupu was not deceived by the Chaotic God’s disturbance, and with a flick of his sword edge, targeted the young man’s wrist.
According to their earlier guesses, they did not know what confused these people’s minds, but actually, they themselves did not know martial arts, and were extremely weak.
Therefore, this sword should absolutely not allow the young man to evade.
However, next moment, the horizontal saber turned, and just a ’ding’ sound was heard.
This was another clash. Centered on the point where the sword and saber met, a strange energy rippled out, and two figures separated simultaneously.
Cao Qiupu felt a slight tremble in the hand holding the sword, not because he couldn’t hold it, but because the sword itself was shaking.
He gently flicked his hand, calming the tremor.
Looking up again, he saw the young man charging once more.
Cao Qiupu’s face darkened slightly. He flicked his finger to make the sword hum before raising it to the Central Palace stance.
However, in the next moment, another hand gripped his sword.
The hand of the young man.
The Divine Sound Sword was naturally extremely sharp. As soon as the young man touched it, blood stained the blade.
Chu Qing squinted slightly. This young man was different from the villagers... he was still alive!
The blood of the dead wasn’t like this.
Cao Qiupu realized this too. He had intended to sever the opponent’s hand with ruthless determination.
But knowing the opponent was alive, he couldn’t bring himself to do it.
So he kicked him away, but the person, wielding the Chaotic God Saber, only fell back momentarily before charging again.
Cao Qiupu found no respite and could only engage in battle.
The clashing sounds echoed throughout the night.
This was an extraordinary contest. The young man clearly knew nothing of Martial Arts. His moves relied on sheer strength and speed, and occasionally, the saber performed astonishing feats at critical moments.
As a result, Cao Qiupu’s Seven Rhymes Celestial Sound Sword Technique, though impressive, couldn’t take down the opponent immediately.
His Seven Rhymes Celestial Sound Sword Technique emphasized ’synchronizing sound with sword, sound and sword harmonizing’ with techniques and melody building layer upon layer, resonating the five notes and composing a symphony.
Only then could he unleash its greatest power.
But knowing his opponent was alive, Cao Qiupu always gave up winning opportunities at critical moments, trying every way to disarm the opponent, hoping to awaken him.
He suspected the unusual state of the young man was linked to the Ghost Saber. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
As long as he could knock the saber away, the young man might regain his senses.
He would also uncover the mystery of Qingxi Village.
Why had all the villagers become living dead?
Why had vigorous youths in every household died?
Why was there an Illusion Array outside the village, preventing them from leaving?
Now that he had encountered a living person, he couldn’t let a chance slip through his fingers.
Thus, the two of them fought with great intensity for a while.
Suddenly, a figure retreated rapidly from the fight. It was the young man wielding the Chaotic God Saber.
He suddenly reversed the Chaotic God Saber, and to everyone’s astonishment, stabbed it into his own heart.
Heart blood flowed along the blade’s blood groove, covering the blade in a faintly glowing crimson aura.
"Stop!!"
Cao Qiupu exclaimed in shock as the young man, gripping the saber with both hands, enveloped in a scarlet and inky aura, charged at him.
Fighting him for so long, Cao Qiupu knew this saber was sinister.
Now he dared not underestimate it. He flicked his wrist, and the Divine Sound Sword flew from his hand.
Various tones resounded in succession as the sword spun continuously, the sounds growing increasingly urgent and high-pitched.
Cao Qiupu, with his fingers like a sword, moved swiftly in the wake of the Divine Sound Sword.
Buzz!!!
The saber aura and sword tip collided mid-air.
A disturbing noise flooded their minds. Du Hanyan shouted sternly:
"Sit quietly and meditate, seal your ear passages."
A look of pain crossed Gentle’s face, while Chu Qing seemed unaffected, resting a hand on Gentle’s shoulder to transfer some Inner Strength from the Mingyu Scripture to her.
Just then, Cao Qiupu’s expression suddenly changed.
The young man’s eyes glowed with dark radiance, and the Divine Sound Sword quivered, its melody immediately silenced, sending the whole sword flying.
Without the sword’s harmonic support, Cao Qiupu felt a blank emptiness in his mind, and a tremendous force flung him away.
The young man took a step forward, the saber aura, black as ink interspersed with red threads, descending from the sky, aiming to slash Cao Qiupu.
Buzz!!!
The saber resonated again, blood spots dripping like rain.
