Chapter 8: The Rainbow Sword Technique - Fiery Clouds Fill the Sky!
No sooner had he finished speaking than the man attacked with lightning speed.
He drew his long sword from his waist and slashed straight at Zhao Qing!
This strike was extremely fast and powerful.
Zhao Qing easily blocked the vicious attack by raising his sword with only one hand.
"The monk with the knife... are you Tian Boguang?"
Zhao Qing recognized him immediately.
Tian Boguang didn't deny it, and said with a smile, "Kid, you are indeed amazing, much better than your senior brother."
My current Dharma name is "Impossible to Ignore!"
Tian Boguang continued his relentless attack, relentlessly wielding his sword against Zhao Qing.
His martial arts skills are very high; his movement techniques and swordsmanship are both top-notch.
His sword strikes were fierce and swift, yet his movements were as agile and unpredictable as a swallow.
Back when Linghu Chong hadn't yet mastered the Dugu Nine Swords, he was completely suppressed by Tian Boguang and had no chance to fight back, which shows how high his martial arts skills were!
But now, his opponent is no longer Linghu Chong, who does not know the Dugu Nine Swords, but Zhao Qing, the master of the Changhong Sword!
"A rainbow pierces the sun!"
Zhao Qing leaped into the air, his entire body erupting with fiery red sword energy.
The sword energy concentrated at the tip of the sword, and he charged downwards like an arrow!
Tian Boguang's pupils suddenly contracted as he watched Zhao Qing's fierce attack, his expression changing drastically.
He knew he couldn't dodge it, so he could only raise his knife to block it.
"boom!"
A deafening roar erupted, shaking the heavens and earth.
Tian Boguang's longsword immediately shattered into several pieces.
He tumbled out like a kite with a broken string, sliding more than ten feet away before being stopped by a large tree.
"Cough cough... cough cough..."
Tian Boguang coughed incessantly, spitting out large mouthfuls of blood, his entire body covered in blood.
His face was contorted in pain; he was badly injured and couldn't even stand up.
"Tell me, what brings you to the Huashan Sect?"
The tip of the Changhong sword was pressed coldly against Tian Boguang's neck.
"I...I've come to save them..."
"Who should we save?"
"Two junior sisters from the Hengshan Sect."
Previously, when Linghu Chong became the head of the Hengshan Sect, the Hengshan Sect sent two junior sisters to Mount Hua to deliver a message.
As a result, the Huashan Sect detained them for no reason, and Tian Boguang came to rescue them.
"Where is Linghu Chong?" Zhao Qing asked directly.
He didn't care about Linghu Chong, only about the Sun Moon Cult.
The Sun Moon Cult is very powerful; it would be best to control it.
"Sect Leader Linghu has been invited to Blackwood Cliff to fight Dongfang Bubai," Tian Boguang said.
The battle at Blackwood Cliff is about to begin.
Zhao Qing wanted to participate in this great battle.
Taking advantage of the situation to control the Sun Moon Cult is the best option.
However, he was only at the mid-stage of the Acquired Realm, which was not strong enough.
Then, Zhao Qing's gaze towards Tian Boguang changed.
"Hahaha!"
Zhao Qing helped Tian Boguang up and said, "Brother Tian, we became friends after our initial encounter, but we've hit it off immediately."
"How about we become sworn brothers today?"
Tian Boguang was stunned. You beat me up like this, and now you want to become sworn brothers with me? What do you mean?
"To...become sworn brothers?"
Tian Boguang was stunned, completely bewildered.
"No, why...why do you want to become sworn brothers with me?" Tian Boguang asked directly.
"Didn't I tell you? I find you pleasing to the eye," Zhao Qing replied.
Tian Boguang, of course, didn't believe it; he wasn't stupid.
This person was beating him up badly just now, and now he suddenly wants to become sworn brothers?
There's definitely a conspiracy!
He immediately refused: "I am a monk, I cannot become sworn brothers."
This excuse is very weak; there is no rule in Buddhism that forbids sworn brotherhood.
Zhao Qing was too lazy to explain, and pushed the sword forward: "Since you are unwilling to become sworn brothers, then I will send you on your way."
"Wait... Let's get married! Let's get married now!"
Tian Boguang immediately changed his tune.
He wasn't someone who clung to life or feared death, but staying alive was the most important thing to him.
He had no other purpose than to become sworn brothers with Zhao Qing, simply to save his own life.
"Heaven above, Earth below, today I, Zhao Qing, voluntarily swear brotherhood with Tian Boguang, not seeking to live together, but only to die together!"
"Heaven above, Earth below, today I, Tian Boguang, voluntarily swear brotherhood with Zhao Qing, not seeking to live together, but only to die together!"
After saying this, the two kowtowed three times, and the ceremony ended.
"Big brother!"
"Second brother!"
"Big brother!"
Zhao Qing called out to him affectionately and loudly.
Tian Boguang responded to his second brother with a smile, sounding quite natural.
But he could no longer speak, because his throat had been slit open.
Tian Boguang could clearly see that Zhao Qing's Changhong sword was stained with blood.
He pointed at Zhao Qing in horror, his eyes filled with doubt and despair, and he died without ever knowing who this person was.
"Ding! Taking a life has triggered the Darkening System. Reward: Ten years of pure internal energy."
Zhao Qing: "???"
"Hey, system, you've got it wrong."
"I didn't kill a human... no, I didn't kill an ordinary person, this was Lao Yi's sworn brother!"
"My own brother!"
But the system remained unresponsive for a long time, completely silent.
I was trying to exploit a loophole, but the system wouldn't let me.
But that makes sense too.
In that case, it would be too easy to farm rewards.
Forcing people to become sworn brothers and then killing them for a reward—there's no such easy thing in the world.
Zhao Qing killed Tian Boguang and no longer wanted to practice his skills here.
He stared at Tian Boguang's corpse and suddenly a thought occurred to him: Could he eat his flesh?
Zhao Qing immediately shook her head and berated herself, "I'm crazy! How could I possibly do something like this?"
He's not a cunning swordsman; he would never eat people.
But then I thought, if Hua Tiegan got his hands on this system, the old guy would definitely become even stronger.
Zhao Qing picked up the body and threw it off the cliff.
He was never a good person to begin with, so there's no need to go through the trouble of burying him.
……
At five quarters past 9 PM, in Zhao Qing's small courtyard.
The beautiful teacher's wife arrived right on time.
Fortunately, Zhao Qing is now confident, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to deal with her.
However, the system rewards me less and less when I'm passionate with my master's wife.
The reward was no longer important to Zhao Qing; all he wanted was to be happy with his master's wife.
Zhao Qing was disappointed that Yue Buqun didn't come to spy on them tonight.
If Yue Buqun were to peek, he could receive a great reward.
At six quarters past midnight, the master's wife finally left.
Zhao Qing then went to sleep.
……
The room was pitch black.
"Squeak..."
The door opened, and a man in black quietly slipped in.
The sound of the sword being drawn was loud, and the blade gleamed coldly in the moonlight.
"I'll deal with that bitch later, I'll deal with you first!"
The man in black sneered and thrust his sword at Zhao Qing.
Zhao Qing opened his eyes and turned to dodge the sword.
The man in black remained calm, and with a flick of his wrist, his sword flashed like lightning as he slashed down!
Zhao Qing's internal energy erupted, and the Rainbow Sword beside his pillow immediately flew out.
He gripped the hilt of the sword with one hand and used the scabbard to deflect the fierce blow.
The man in black missed his second strike, frowned, and exclaimed in surprise, "Mid-stage of the Day after tomorrow realm!"
Upon seeing Zhao Qing's cultivation level, Yue Buqun's expression changed drastically; he was extremely shocked.
He knew his apprentice's background well.
Previously, he had always been a menial disciple, but recently Ning Zhongze made an exception and promoted him to a formal disciple.
However, Zhao Qing was the least talented among his fellow disciples, and now he has suddenly reached the mid-stage of the Acquired Realm, which is too abnormal.
Yue Buqun was filled with questions.
He couldn't be sure whether Zhao Qing's martial arts skills had suddenly improved or whether Zhao Qing had been hiding his strength all along.
"The sky is ablaze with fiery clouds!"
Zhao Qing shouted and raised the Long Rainbow Sword.
The sword immediately burst into a fiery red light, illuminating the entire night sky.
