Chapter 497 Chong Sheng's Power
Chapter 497 Chong Sheng's Power
Quan Lingshu's face turned red as Chong Sheng's fingers tightened around his throat.
He struggled violently.
His Qi erupted from his body in a desperate surge.
Boom!
A wave of energy exploded outward as Quan Lingshu struck Chong Sheng's arm with his palm, trying to break free.
But Chong Sheng didn't even flinch.
His grip remained steady-like iron.
Quan Lingshu's heart sank.
(Impossible...)
Gritting his teeth, he suddenly twisted his body and slashed a hidden blade from his sleeve straight toward Chong Sheng's ribs.
A vicious strike.
Fast, Precise and Deadly.
Yet-
Before the blade could even touch him-
Chong Sheng casually caught Quan Lingshu's wrist.
Crack!
"AHHH!"
The bone snapped instantly.
The dagger fell from Quan Lingshu's hand and clattered to the floor.
Chong Sheng tilted his head slightly.
"That's it?"
His tone was almost disappointed.
Quan Lingshu's eyes filled with panic.
But he still refused to give up.
(As long as I'm alive... I still have a chance!)
He suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood toward Chong Sheng's face.
At the same time, he circulated his Qi wildly and kicked toward Chong Sheng's knee.
A desperate move.
Yet even this-
Was meaningless.
Chong Sheng simply leaned his head slightly to the side, easily avoiding the blood.
Then his expression turned colder.
"You're making this boring"
Before Quan Lingshu could react-
Chong Sheng slammed him to the ground.
BOOM!
The floor cracked as Quan Lingshu's body smashed against it.
His vision blurred.
Before he could recover-
A heavy foot suddenly pressed down on his head.
THUD!
Quan Lingshu's face was forced into the cold floor.
Dust filled his mouth.
Chong Sheng stood above him calmly, one foot pressing his head down like he was stepping on an insect.
He slowly increased the pressure.
"Haha... Mighty Clan Leader of the Quan Clan, how does the ground taste?"
His voice carried faint amusement.
Quan Lingshu's face twisted in humiliation.
"You-!"
His voice was muffled against the floor.
"Hmm?"
Chong Sheng pushed harder.
Quan Lingshu's teeth scraped painfully against the stone.
"You used to enjoy watching people kneel before you, didn't you?"
Chong Sheng said lazily.
"Consider this a repayment."
Quan Lingshu's entire body trembled.
The humiliation burned deeper than any wound.
Yet-
He endured it.
Because he realized something.
(He's toying with me.)
Chong Sheng was clearly holding back.
If he wanted to kill him-
Quan Lingshu would already be dead.
And that meant-
(I still have a chance. As long as I live... I can still escape.)
Just then-
Footsteps rushed toward the study hall.
The door burst open.
Several elders and clan members hurried inside.
"Clan Leader! Are you alright-"
The elder's voice suddenly stopped.
Everyone froze.
Their eyes widened in disbelief.
The sight before them was something they could hardly comprehend.
Their powerful Clan Leader-
Was lying on the floor like a dog.
And a young man stood above him with his foot pressing down on his head.
The room fell silent.
Quan Lingshu's face flushed with both relief and shame.
"What are you doing?!"
He shouted hoarsely.
"Quickly help me!"
Only then did the elders snap out of their shock.
They had come after noticing that many guards had gone missing around the
compound.
When they approached the Clan Leader's residence, they realized they could
not sense any Qi from the room, as there seemed to be a formation concealing
it.
However, they had never imagined that their powerful Clan Leader would be
facing such humiliation.
Several of them immediately drew their swords.
Qi surged through the room.
"Who are you?!"
One elder shouted furiously.
"How dare you treat our Clan Leader like this!"
The killing intent in the room rose instantly.
Yet the young man in the center of it all remained perfectly calm.
Quan Lingshu clenched his teeth.
"He is... Chong Sheng!"
The words left his mouth like poison.
The room fell silent again.
"Chong Sheng...?"
Many of the elders stared at the young man in disbelief.
Some of them had personally witnessed the incident months ago.
Now that they looked carefully-
Yes!
The face was the same.
But the aura...
The aura was completely different.
A terrifying demonic Qi surrounded him like a dark storm.
"You dare return after escaping last time?"
"You think you can survive after infiltrating the Quan Clan alone?!"
"Let go of our Clan Leader, otherwise you will not be spared!"
Chong Sheng slowly glanced at them.
Then he sighed softly.
His foot pressed down slightly harder on Quan Lingshu's head.
Crack!
Quan Lingshu groaned in pain.
Chong Sheng looked back at the group of elders.
A faint smile appeared on his face.
"Good!"
His eyes glowed faintly crimson.
"Now everyone is here."
The demonic Qi around him began to surge violently.
"Let's settle everything tonight."
***
"Kill him!"
One of the Spirit Severing elders roared.
A storm of Qi erupted as more than a dozen experts attacked at once.
Blades flashed.
Palm strikes tore through the air.
Talismans ignited into streaks of destructive light.
For an ordinary cultivator, facing such an assault would mean instant death.
Yet Chong Sheng only smiled faintly.
Then-
He vanished.
Swish!
His body dissolved into a blur of shadow.
An elder's sword sliced through the place where he had been standing.
But it struck nothing but empty air. "What?!"
Before the elder could react- Chong Sheng appeared behind him like a ghost.
A kick sent the elder flying across the room.
BOOM!
He crashed through a pillar. "Behind you!" Another elder roared.
Three Soul Formation experts attacked simultaneously.
Their swords formed a deadly net of flashing steel.
Yet Chong Sheng's body twisted like flowing smoke.
His movements were strange- Shadow-like and Unpredictable. He slipped between the blades with impossible precision.
It was as if he wasn't bound by normal movement at all.
Every step he took seemed to melt into darkness before reappearing
somewhere else.
"Too slow!"
He casually struck one elder in the chest.
Crack!
The elder spat blood as he was sent crashing backward.
But the Quan Clan wasn't weak.
Three Void Refinement experts-including Quan Lingshu-joined the fight. Their attacks were far more dangerous.
A massive palm strike descended toward Chong Sheng.
BOOM!
The floor shattered as the attack landed.
But Chong Sheng had already moved.
A Spirit Severing elder slashed downward with a sword technique.
This time-
The blade grazed Chong Sheng's shoulder.
Blood sprayed into the air.
Another attack struck his side moments later.
Yet-
He didn't even flinch.
It was as if the injuries meant nothing to him.
Chong Sheng simply continued moving through the battlefield like a shadow
dancing among flames.
It was as if his body was immune to all attacks.
