Chapter 276 - 169: Shared Joy Is Greater Than Solitary Joy? (2)
The red silk draping across the entire hall was sliced and shattered inch by inch by the sword qi.
Following that, two massive forces clashed violently.
It turned out to be the scholar and Chen Zhengnan engaging in a fight.
Meanwhile, the old man somehow found Cao Qiupu.
Now, he looked exactly like the scholar, both under the spell of the Seven Charms Burning Passion Technique, causing them to lose themselves, overwhelmed by lust and soul.
Cao Qiupu countered with his sword, thus invoking the Seven Rhymes Celestial Sound Sword Technique.
At the same time, the sickly man in black vanished without a trace after the red silk dispersed.
Miss Ling Fei fainted on the ground, her face flushed red.
Chu Qing’s eyebrows slightly rose. She, being a renowned expert on the Evil Extermination List, how could she be so incompetent?
Nonetheless, looking at their current state, it seemed they would be fighting for quite a while, conveniently drawing the attention of everyone in the manor, giving him and Gentle a chance to search the manor.
With this thought, he held Gentle’s hand to retreat, but after a step, he sighed reluctantly.
Turning back for a glance, he saw that besides Miss Die Wu, the other three women were blocking the entrance of the main hall.
They were smilingly watching him and Gentle.
Chu Qing softly said:
"Would the three ladies mind stepping aside?"
The three women exchanged glances and giggled foolishly, with one about to speak.
Yet suddenly, blood splattered everywhere with a hearty "splash".
Her words came to an abrupt stop, eyes wide in bewilderment; one woman’s head had been sliced off, along with half a shoulder, landing on the ground.
The gruesome scene and the flowing blood were so horrific it left people speechless.
The executioner was none other than Chu Qing.
The Sixteen Paths of Shocking Evil Saber, perfectly combined with the speed of the Fast Sword and the transformations of the Seven Extremes Seven Transitions Seven Injuries Sword.
Even Prince Mu would face execution under such a strike.
Let alone these few women?
With one swing, a head was cut off, another stroke, a tearing sound, the second woman too was split in half by Chu Qing’s saber.
The third woman woke from her daze and couldn’t help but shout:
"Stop!!"
With her voice came a finger attack.
But surprisingly, before the finger even reached halfway, it fell to the ground.
Immediately after, an arm flew off, the saber slicing a clean line through the middle.
The whole body split into two, clearing the path.
Chu Qing always killed quickly, and before Miss Die Wu in the lead noticed anything, the three women were already lying dead on the spot.
"Lead the way for me."
Chu Qing spoke softly.
Gentle nodded, leading Chu Qing outward.
Coming to the Seven Plum Manor, Chu Qing originally feared Prince Mei, hence he didn’t announce his presence.
Planning to sneak in first, check the place, rescue people, then kill.
Unexpectedly, Die Wu played her cards unconventionally, using the Seven Charms Burning Passion Technique directly within the main hall, underestimating Chu Qing and his companions entirely.
Since they chose to overturn the table, Chu Qing no longer hid.
Leaving the main hall, he followed the scent inside, turning into a courtyard, where he saw a disheveled woman stepping out of the room.
Her eyes lit up upon seeing Chu Qing and Gentle:
"Such handsome gentlemen, I wish to join you and relish in pleasure together..."
Before she finished, a flash of sword light dropped.
The woman lay dead at the scene.
Chu Qing casually glanced into the room, seeing a pale-faced man lying weakly there.
Gentle wanted to look too, but Chu Qing covered her eyes:
"Don’t look, there’s filth."
"???"
Gentle was puzzled but went along with it.
Earlier, Chu Qing felt odd, noticing the place had a woman guarding the entrance, yet inside he hadn’t seen any servants.
They sat in the main hall for a while, triggering small conflicts and disputes.
Yet nobody came out to intervene.
Such a large manor couldn’t possibly only house these few women, where had the others gone?
Now walking inside, they discovered... the manor had plenty of people, all busy within.
Initially, hearing movement outside might have drawn them out to check.
Later, someone obviously signaled them, pulling all the women out to block Chu Qing and Gentle’s path.
These women each possessed substantial inner strength, clearly indicative of their origin.
Unfortunately, their combat experience was pitifully shallow, unlike Miss Die Wu and her companions; they didn’t possess the Seven Charms Burning Passion Technique.
Despite their abundant inner strength, they had no clue how to wield it.
As a result, though they harbored killing intent, they were powerless against Chu Qing and Gentle.
Chu Qing felt no mercy just because they were women, killing relentlessly along the way, leaving rivers of blood.
Gradually, the women grew terrified.
Some fled in all directions, others sought hiding in corners, after shedding these distractions, Gentle soon found a room for Chu Qing.
Opening the door, they found the room empty.
Gentle sniffed, pointing to an altar table.
Yet, what was worshipped wasn’t any Buddhist or Daoist dharma aspect, but a partially clad woman.
The woman’s figure was large, with several male forms climbing over her.
"What kind of immortal is this?"
Gentle was curious.
Chu Qing shook his head:
"Evil deity’s licentious worship, all sorts of demons and ghosts, no need to bother."
With those words, he struck with his palm.
A dragon’s roar erupted, shattering the altar and statue into pieces.
By now, Chu Qing didn’t worry about traps, if sneaking in required subtlety, now openly killing, it wasn’t worthwhile to prudently search for mechanisms.
A pathway descended.
Chu Qing and Gentle followed the stairs down, a dungeon appeared before them.
Almost all prisoners were men.
Most were in disarray, some pale-faced, some with eyes full of despair...
Chu Qing never imagined seeing such expressions, as if ’played out’, on men’s faces.
His expression turned odd, unsure how to manage his face.
Yet upon seeing Chu Qing and Gentle, their expressions instantly changed.
"Save us! Save us!!"
"Every woman here is insane, all insane!"
"Hero, I’m willing to offer my entire fortune, please save me from this hell!!"
Chu Qing gestured for calm.
Previously at Yinfeng Stronghold, he’d faced similar circumstances, rescuing women; now, it was a group of grown men crying in anguish.
Truly unexpected.
Walking further in, they found the dungeon divided into male and female sections, men outside, women inside.
Yet, these women were neatly dressed, evidently not experiencing what the women from Yinfeng Stronghold had.
On seeing Chu Qing and Gentle, they swiftly sought their rescue.
By now, Chu Qing found the other four members of the Cross-sword Five Tigers, and in the women’s cell area, he spotted the black-clad woman’s trail.
Though Nianxin Nian’an was not present.
The Four Tigers’ condition wasn’t great, each bearing injuries.
Chu Qing swung a saber casually, breaking open the cell door, approaching the four to unlock their acupoints.
The four were stunned, hearing Chu Qing say:
"Your leader Lv Zhi was saved by me, at his request, I came to rescue you."
The Four Tigers, hearing this, felt immeasurable gratitude.
Chu Qing, meanwhile, couldn’t suppress his curiosity:
"Prince Mei captured you here, what was his intent?"
The Four Tigers exchanged glances, then the Knife Tiger gritted his teeth and said:
"Benefactor, there’s something you don’t know... this place is a den of demons.
"Men captured are to be... to be exploited by those demon women..."
Saying this, his face turned red, hard to continue.
Chu Qing raised an eyebrow, pointing to the nearby women’s cage:
"And what about them?"
"I heard these women are captured, seemingly forced to join in the wickedness."
Chu Qing listened, astounded, never expected there’d be people captured just to partake in wickedness?
Perhaps it’s the case of enjoying alone not as good as together?
