Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

Chapter 5159 Slaying Qin Keqing

Upon arrival, Long Chen directly crushed a Human Emperor divine weapon with one hand. Powerful qi waves then spread, sending dragon bone fragments flying.

Qin Keqing was the first to be struck by the explosion, her body instantly turning into a bloody sieve. Unable to withstand the terrifying power, she hastily fled with her Yuan Spirit.

“A person like you whose heart is filled with darkness should never have been born in this world,” Long Chen declared coldly. He raised a finger and shot a golden flame out, striking Qin Keqing’s Yuan Spirit and setting it ablaze.

“That’s... the Sun Flame!” exclaimed Lu Fan, his pupils shrinking upon seeing those flames. They looked like they were made of pure gold, radiating a supreme Yang energy. It was a raging and holy flame, with an aura as vast as the sea.

As a master of fire himself, Lu Fan immediately recognized the flames as the legendary Sun Flame.

“AHH!” Qin Keqing shrieked in pain. Despite her desperate attempts to extinguish the flames, they clung to her like molten glue, causing her to scream in pain as she could not escape their relentless burn.

“How many innocent lives have you tainted with your bloodlust? You’ve committed countless nefarious deeds. Today, you shall repay the suffering you’ve inflicted on others,” Long Chen said calmly, observing Qin Keqing’s torment with a cold gaze.

“Please! I’m willing to be your slave, your concubine, your horse—anything you desire! Don’t kill me!” Qin Keqing begged desperately as she writhed in pain.

“Are those the real words of your heart?” asked Long Chen lightly.

Suddenly, Qin Keqing’s face twisted, her pitiful expression became like that of a devil. She then clenched her teeth and roared, “When I escape your control, I’ll instantly kill you! I’ll tear your flesh with my teeth, drink your blood, grind your bones to dust, and refine your soul to ashes...”

Long Chen nodded. “That’s the real you. In the end, your nature can’t be changed.”

“AHH!”

Qin Keqing suddenly glanced in terror in a certain direction, her body shaking. “Senior apprentice-sister Ziqing! Don’t kill me, don’t kill me! I know the Zither Flame Soul Refinement was excruciating, but wasn’t I punished afterward? We’re even, right?! Why have you come for me?!”

In the distance, Liao Yuhuang and the Zither Sect’s disciples were horrified to hear her mention the Zither Flame Soul Refinement. In an instant, the slightest trace of sympathy they had for Qin Keqing vanished. At first, Liao Yuhuang had been wondering whether or not she should step forward to protect Qin Keqing’s Yuan Spirit. Despite knowing Long Chen was unlikely to show mercy, Liao Yuhuang felt it was her duty to at least attempt to intervene.

However, these words were too enraging. For the first time, Liao Yuhuang felt genuine killing intent toward someone.

The Zither Sect had kept Qin Keqing’s past under wraps, but rumors had circulated. As the daughter of a branch sect master, Liao Yuhuang had heard whispers about it. Her mother had warned her to be cautious of such individuals, sharing a story of how jealousy and malice had led to calamity.

The story her mother told her featured only two characters, one of whom was named Ziqing, the genius who had been schemed to death. The other character’s name remained unspoken, but how could Liao Yuhuang not know who she was?

However, Liao Yuhuang had never expected Qin Keqing’s cruelty to reach such depths. To kill Ziqing, she had used the Zither Sect’s most forbidden technique: the Zither Flame Soul Refinement. This technique was the cruelest form of torture, using the music of the zither to inflame the seven emotions and six desires in a person.

While dying, they would relive their most cherished memories. They would struggle with all their might, only to watch the memories escape their grasp and shatter. In the end, they would die with endless resentment. This was this world’s cruelest torture, and thus it was classified as the most forbidden art in the Zither Sect.

Liao Yuhuang and the others had only ever heard its name, but it was enough to make them quiver. Hearing that Qin Keqing had actually used such cruel torture on her own senior apprentice-sister, they had the urge to kill her right now.

Suddenly, Qin Keqing’s face twisted again, looking like a wild, bloodthirsty beast. “You deserved it! What else could I do?! Who told you to be born in my world?! Why did you have to take first place from me?! I worked so hard, so why did you have to be better?! Why?!”

As she roared, the flames around her grew more intense. It was like her terror and hatred were feeding the flames.

BOOM!

Suddenly, the flames exploded like a firework. A heavenly genius sealed in the ancient era died just like that. Lu Fan, Li Tianfan, Yan Hong, Luo Yujiao, Huang Wudao, and the others were stunned. Qin Keqing, a powerhouse on par with them, had died so easily. Her brutal death struck them hard, leaving them in shock.

“How did he get so powerful?” Luo Yujiao’s voice quivered slightly. Long Chen had crushed a Human Emperor divine weapon with his bare hands and extinguished Qin Keqing’s Yuan Spirit in one attack. Remarkably, he hadn't even summoned his manifestation, indicating he wasn’t in his full combat state.

Even without entering his combat state, his power was terrifying. If he did enter combat mode, who among them could stand against him?

Bai Yingxue, Feng You, and the others were all shaking with excitement as they stared at Long Chen’s back. The white dragon race’s disciples felt their blood boiling with renewed hope.

Mo Nian, on the other hand, curled his lips with a smirk. “He’s stealing my spotlight again. How did I end up with such a brother?”

BOOM!

Suddenly, the Earth Devils surrounding Mo Nian launched a fierce assault. Ten white bone staff pierced toward him. Seeing the terrifying power of Long Chen, they decided to focus on Mo Nian first, hoping that capturing him would neutralize their biggest threat.

“Fuck, are you treating me like a soft persimmon?!” Mo Nian’s anger flared, and he swung the Dragon Bone Seven String Bow with all his might. The Limitless Pine quivered behind him, and a ring of light shot out of his bow, smashing into the Earth Devils.

BOOM!

Those ten Earth Devils might be six-vein Heaven Saints, but Mo Nian managed to send all ten of them flying at once in his rage, though he did grunt from the impact.

Those ten six-vein Heaven Saints were unable to suppress Mo Nian. When their leader saw this, his face darkened, and he took out his horn, blowing into it once more.

Following that, the eyes of endless devil creatures once more reddened, and they swarmed toward Bai Yingxue and the others.

“Kill Long Chen with the devil creatures!” Lu Fan commanded, waving his hand. The Brahma Divine Diagram flew toward Long Chen, and the other experts began their attacks.

“Kill the white dragon race’s people and force Long Chen to save them!” shouted Li Tianfan.

Suddenly, space quivered, and a figure appeared before Li Tianfan like a devil god.

“Do you still remember what I said? When the battle starts, you’ll be the first one I kill. Qin Keqing was an exception, and now it’s your turn,” declared Long Chen, directly smashing a fist at Li Tianfan.
