Scripture of Days Past

The undying divine general’s expression changed drastically as it watched its own heart being torn to shreds.

A huge hole had been punched through its chest, and blood was gushing out from within.

What kind of martial arts is this?!

Layman Evergreen was completely bewildered, but he didn’t have time to dwell on what had just happened.

Under his control, the undying divine general leaped back in retreat. Without a heart to pump blood through its body, it was unable to use any of its martial arts techniques that required qi and blood circulation, which was why it had chosen to retreat.

”You think you can get away?” Qiao Zhi jeered as he licked the thick pad of his paw.

The undying divine general offered no response and continued to distance itself from Chu Qiguang.

All the while, the flesh around the wound in its chest writhed and renegerated, but it clearly wouldn’t be able to fully regrow its heart anytime soon.

A ball of flesh the size of a fingernail had appeared where its heart had once been, but it was still far from becoming a fully formed heart.

I have to stall until my heart has fully regenerated, the undying divine general thought. However, just as it was about to land on its left foot, a deep gash was sliced into it.

With its left foot compromised, the undying divine general toppled to the ground.

Layman Evergreen knew that cat fiends were often extremely quick and agile, but he was still astonished by the extraordinary speed that Qiao Zhi was displaying.

The undying divine general turned its gaze toward its opponent and discovered what appeared to be a layer of silver flames covering Chu Qiguang’s entire body, surrounded by bursts of white gale force.

With his entire body enveloped in gale force, Chu Qiguang was able to take flight and race through the air with incredible speed and agility.

Upon closer inspection, the undying divine general discovered that the layer of silver flames was actually Chu Qiguang’s fur.

His fur is vibrating at an extremely high frequency, making it look like flames. Every strand of fur is constantly whipping through the air, generating gale force around his entire body.

The undying divine general could hardly believe what it was witnessing.

Layman Evergreen had never seen or even heard of anything like the martial arts displayed by his opponent. He felt like his eyes had been opened to an entirely new world of possibilities.

By conventional standards, a martial artist capable of producing gale force through fist and palm techniques is already considered a master. Yet this cat fiend can unleash gale force with every single part of his body, and he’s using it to enhance his speed! What kind of martial art is this? Did he invent these techniques himself?

By this point, the undying general was already completely at Chu Qiguang’s mercy.

His feline claws had been made incredibly sharp by layers of gale force, and even his silver fur had transformed into countless tiny, lethal blades that were gradually tearing the undying divine general’s body to ribbons.

What do you think? Qiao Zhi gloated. This is my signature technique! It’s called Raging Tempest! Your body is finally strong enough for me to use it!

This is a martial arts technique from the future, right? Chu Qiguang asked.

It sure is! Qiao Zhi replied. Martial arts develops rapidly in the future. Both the Undying Seal and Raging Tempest are at least a hundred years ahead of the martial arts of this era.

By this point, the undying divine general’s entire body was already riddled with wounds, and its regenerative abilities were unable to keep up with the rate at which new injuries were accumulating.

Of course, the undying divine general wasn’t simply going to accept its fate. It mustered all its remaining strength, threw its head back, and let loose a thunderous roar.

Sound waves visible to the naked eye erupted from its mouth and spread outward in all directions, causing the layer of gale force around Chu Qiguang to ripple unsteadily.

However, Chu Qiguang remained completely unfazed. He took a deep breath, and his abdomen instantly swelled like a balloon.

Take a good look, Chu Qiguang! This is called the Kameow Hameow Ha!

All of a sudden, Qiao Zhi exhaled in one explosive burst, releasing the breath he had just drawn in as a blast of gale force. It struck the undying divine general squarely in the face like an air cannon.

Yang Ling, Yi Shuang, and Han Ying had already been stunned into silence.

Earlier, when Layman Evergreen’s consciousness awakened, they had thought that Chu Qiguang’s fate was sealed. Yet in the blink of an eye, he had transformed into a giant cat and displayed a level of martial arts mastery far beyond anything they had thought possible.

The situation had been completely reversed, and the undying divine general had now become Chu Qiguang’s plaything.

Finally, a beam of radiant white light erupted from Chu Qiguang’s mouth and struck the undying divine general in the face, instantly dealing it a fatal blow.

Chu Qiguang raced toward the fallen living corpse at an unimaginable speed and decapitated it in a flash before casually holding up its draconic head.

”Very impressive,” the undying divine general’s head praised. ”Did you invent these techniques yourself? What are they ca—”

The light in the draconic head’s eyes gradually dimmed, and its voice trailed off into silence.

Yi Shuang could only look on in despair as the life faded from the undying divine general’s eyes. He had never imagined that this would be the outcome.

How did Chu Qiguang manage to defeat the undying divine general even after Layman Evergreen’s consciousness. awakened? Could it be that he’s also one of the Eight Han Resurgence Generals?

Han Ying immediately fell to his knees, looking up at Chu Qiguang with a fawning expression as he said, ”Please forgive my insolence. I didn’t realize you were also a fiend! Please feel free to order me around as you see fit.”

Chu Qiguang had no interest in speaking with Yi Shuang and Han Ying.

He instructed Qiao Zhi to incapacitate them, severing the tendons in their arms and legs to temporarily disable them before knocking them unconscious.

”What’re you standing there for?” Qiao Zhi called out. ”Come over here and drag these two away! Can’t you do anything on your own without being told?”

Zhang Jitian had been cowering at a safe distance this entire time, and he hurriedly rushed over.

After witnessing Chu Qiguang’s power, his heart was filled with awe and reverence, but he was feeling a rather dismayed.

How did I get myself into this mess? There’s danger at every turn, yet I stand to gain nothing from any of this.

With that in mind, he cast his gaze deep into the archive building, wondering if he could take a few things with him.

Chu Qiguang immediately saw through Zhang Jitian’s intentions. He flicked him in the head and warned, ”Don’t get any funny ideas! You’ll receive your reward once everything here has been taken care of. For now, carry these two and this living corpse out of here.”

Chu Qiguang wanted to keep the living corpse to see if it could still be used after being bathed in the blood at Hidden Fiend Village.

As for Yi Shuang and Han Ying, they possessed information that was of interest to him.

Zhang Jitian hurriedly nodded before carrying the three of them out of the archive building one by one.

Meanwhile, Chu Qiguang reverted to his human form and slowly made his way over to Yang Ling, who was staring at him deep apprehension and fear in his eyes.
