Chapter 58: Premeditated

"Boom!!!"

Senior Sister Xu Shuang and Senior Sister Lin Ruoxue unleashed their powerful strength simultaneously.

A heaven-shaking, earth-shattering roar exploded in the canyon, and the violent air waves blew the gravel on the ground several zhang high.

Senior Brother Song Qing felt an overwhelming force strike him, his entire body hit as if by a heavy blow. His offensive was instantly disintegrated, and he tumbled backward several times in the air before barely landing, taking a dozen steps back and leaving a series of deep footprints on the ground.

His blood surged, his heart was shocked, and he suddenly looked up to both sides.

On the giant rock on the left stood a beautiful woman with clothes as white as snow and a cold, frosty expression. In her hand, an ice-blue longsword gleamed coldly—it was the Sect's famous figure, Senior Sister Lin Ruoxue!

And on the branches of the ancient tree on the right, Senior Sister Xu Shuang from the Law Enforcement Hall, dressed in black tight-fitting attire, crossed her arms, looking down at him with eyes like those of a dead person, a mocking sneer hanging on the corner of her mouth.

"What? Senior Sister Lin Ruoxue… Senior Sister Xu Shuang… How, how could you appear here?!"

Seeing these two women, Senior Brother Song Qing felt like he had been struck by lightning; he couldn't believe his eyes.

He rubbed his eyes hard, even suspecting he had fallen for some kind of illusion technique.

These two people—one is the Sect's famously cold and arrogant iceberg, the other a ruthless character from the Law Enforcement Hall!!

How could they, at this time, appear in this desolate wilderness together and join forces to protect Chu Chang?

"The two Senior Sisters were naturally invited by me."

Chu Chang stood by the cliff, calmly brushing off non-existent dust from his sleeves, and smiled slightly: "Young Master Song, I said before, I never fight a battle I'm not sure of."

"You… you plotted against me?!" Senior Brother Song Qing gritted his teeth, staring fixedly at Chu Chang, raging fire erupting in his eyes.

"Plotted against you? This is called taking precautions."

Chu Chang sneered disdainfully:

"Ever since you threatened me in public, I knew a narrow-minded prodigal like you would never let it go. Since I was guarding against you, I naturally had to do some preparation. Senior Sister Xu Shuang is the most fair and upright, so I asked her to keep an eye out for me. Sure enough, you dog can't change its habit of eating feces, and you actually investigated my mission whereabouts.

After Senior Sister Xu Shuang noticed your little tricks, she discussed this plan of luring the snake out of the hole with me. I deliberately went out to perform a mission, luring you out of the Sect, and the two Senior Sisters have been waiting here for a long time. Senior Brother Song Qing, you thought you were the hunter, but you didn't know, you were just prey that actively walked into the trap!"

Hearing this, Senior Brother Song Qing's face turned red and white, looking extremely ugly. He never expected that his supposedly seamless plan to surround and kill would look full of holes in Chu Chang's eyes, even turning into a death trap directed at him!

"Hahahaha! Good, good one, Chu Chang! Good one, borrowing a knife to kill someone!"

Senior Brother Song Qing laughed in anger, his face twisted as he pointed at Senior Sister Lin Ruoxue and Senior Sister Xu Shuang, cursing:

"Senior Sister Lin Ruoxue! Senior Sister Xu Shuang! Are you two bitches crazy?! My Master is an Inner Sect Elder! If you dare to touch a hair on my head today, my Master will definitely grind your bones to dust! For a mere Outer Sect Disciple, do you want to be enemies with my Song family?! If you know what's good for you, get lost immediately, otherwise, you cannot bear the Sect rules and the wrath of an Inner Sect Elder!"

Senior Sister Lin Ruoxue listened to Senior Brother Song Qing's foul language, a trace of disgust flashing in her eyes, her voice as cold as ten-thousand-year-old ice: "Facing death, you still dare to use your father to suppress people. Senior Brother Song Qing, you colluded with Senior Brother Huang in secret to harm fellow Disciples, the evidence is conclusive. Today you are executed here, it is Sect law and discipline; even your father cannot protect you!"

"Bah! Bullshit!" Senior Brother Song Qing spat, screaming frantically, "Evidence? What evidence? In this desolate wilderness, as long as I kill all of you, who would know it was me?!"

Beside him, Senior Sister Xu Shuang snorted coldly, rubbing her fists, making a crackling sound: "Less nonsense, dead people don't need evidence. Do it!"

Before the words fell, Senior Sister Xu Shuang moved first!

Her figure was like a black lightning bolt, instantly tearing the Void Realm.

The powerful cultivation of the Qi Refining Realm Late Stage exploded fully, throwing a punch, the violent crimson fist light resembling a meteor, carrying a piercing sonic boom, heading straight for Senior Brother Song Qing's chest.

At the same time, Senior Sister Lin Ruoxue also moved.

Her white clothes fluttered, like a Heavenly Immortal falling into the mortal world, but her moves were fatal.

The ice-blue longsword in her hand drew a huge ice lotus in the air, the ice lotus petals turning into countless sharp Sword Qi, sealing off all of Senior Brother Song Qing's escape routes like a blanket.

"Damn it! I'll fight you to the death!"

Facing the pincer attack of two female Prodigies of the same level, or even with strength above his own, Senior Brother Song Qing felt the threat of death.

His eyes were blood-red, he bit the tip of his tongue, and spat a mouthful of essence blood onto the great sword.

"Blood Fiend Sword Art!"

Hum hum hum!

As the essence blood merged, the High Grade Spiritual Artifact sword in Senior Brother Song Qing's hand erupted with monstrous blood light, and faint sounds of wailing souls came from it.

Countless blood-colored sword shadows intertwined into a blood curtain, colliding violently with Senior Sister Xu Shuang's fist light and Senior Sister Lin Ruoxue's ice lotus Sword Qi.

"Bang bang bang bang!!!"

The canyon was suddenly plunged into a wave of energy.

Violent winds raged, large swaths of ancient trees were broken at the waist, and the mountain rocks collapsed.

Senior Brother Song Qing desperately squeezed the spiritual power in his body, relying on the brutality of the blood Dao Cultivation Technique and the High Grade Spiritual Artifact in his hand, actually holding on for several rounds under the joint attack of the two women.

But he knew very well in his heart that this was just drinking poison to quench thirst; if he dragged it out any longer, he would definitely die!

"Chu Chang! Go to hell!"

Senior Brother Song Qing keenly noticed that in the battle between the three, Chu Chang, the "instigator," had been standing not far away without making a move.

A flash of ruthlessness crossed his eyes; at the cost of taking a heavy punch from Senior Sister Xu Shuang on his back and vomiting blood, he used that counter-push force, his figure like a fierce ghost, tearing a gap from the encirclement of the two women, holding the blood sword, and rushing madly towards Chu Chang to stab him!

He wanted to drag Chu Chang down as a cushion!

As long as he killed this culprit, even if he died, it would be worth it!

"Be careful!" Senior Sister Lin Ruoxue's pretty face changed, and she exclaimed.

"Dream on!" Senior Sister Xu Shuang also shouted angrily, wanting to turn back to rescue, but the distance between the two was a bit far, and it was already too late.

However, facing Senior Brother Song Qing, who was rushing over with endless murderous intent and looking like a madman, the corner of Chu Chang's mouth curled up slightly.

"Senior Brother Song Qing, do you really think I'm a soft persimmon?"

Chu Chang wiped his right hand on his Storage Pouch.

A short blade, pitch-black all over, emitting an eerie green light, with liquid seemingly wriggling constantly on the blade, appeared instantly in his hand!!

It was the corrosion blade.

"Slash!"

Chu Chang's internal true essence and Physical Body strength exploded without reservation at this moment.

With a step of his feet, his figure dodged Senior Brother Song Qing's must-kill sword like a ghost, and at the same time, the corrosion blade in his right hand turned into a green lightning bolt, drawing an eerie arc in the air.

"Rip!!"

The sound of a sharp blade entering flesh was clearly audible.

The corrosion blade precisely sliced through the joint of Senior Brother Song Qing's right arm.

"Ah!!!"

A scream of extreme misery immediately resounded throughout the canyon.

Seeing Senior Brother Song Qing's wounded right arm, there was no blood flowing from the wound, but instead, large patches of black-green blisters quickly appeared, accompanied by a foul-smelling white smoke; the flesh, Meridians, and even bones were melting and rotting away at a speed visible to the naked eye!

"My hand! My hand!!!"

Senior Brother Song Qing's face was twisted in pain, cold sweat pouring down like rain.

That terrifying corrosion power was frantically spreading along his arm toward his shoulder and internal organs; no matter how he mobilized his spiritual power to resist, he could not stop the encroachment of that black-green toxin.

"This is the end you deserve."

Chu Chang's eyes were cold, not giving the opponent any chance to catch his breath.

He lunged forward, like a grim reaper walking, the corrosion blade in his hand bringing up a green cold light, rapidly enlarging in Senior Brother Song Qing's pupils filled with fear and despair.

"Pfft!"

The short blade pierced deeply into Senior Brother Song Qing's heart.

"Gurgle… gurgle…"

Rotten black blood kept pouring out from Senior Brother Song Qing's mouth and chest, his vitality swallowed up by the strange power of the corrosion blade within just two breaths.

Even his corpse was rapidly melting into a pool of foul-smelling black water, leaving only a tattered skeleton and a High Grade Spiritual Artifact sword that had lost its spiritual light, falling to the ground.

The strong wind whistled, and the canyon gradually returned to dead silence.

Senior Sister Lin Ruoxue and Senior Sister Xu Shuang landed, looking at the pool of black water on the ground and the black short blade that Chu Chang had already put away; deep wariness flashed in both women's eyes.

They knew Chu Chang was strong, but they didn't expect him to be this strong.

"Many thanks to both Senior Sisters for your help."

Chu Chang turned around, his expression long since restored to his usual gentleness and calm, as if the person who had just struck with such ruthlessness was not him at all.

He bent down to pick up the Storage Pouch and Spiritual Artifact sword that Senior Brother Song Qing had dropped, and tossed them to the two women.
