Chapter 265: Chapter 265: Mission Complete"Ding!" The arena was filled with sword shadows, fierce fist shadows and sword light clashing together, bursting into endless sparks. At this moment, Chu Ming was terrifyingly calm. He had been searching for a weakness in the Corpse Puppet. Although the Corpse Puppet was very strong now, it would eventually run out of momentum, and that would be his opportunity to strike back. "Blood Finger Reaches the Heavens!" The Corpse Puppet suddenly drew itself back, its arms together, and a bright red glow emanated from its two fingers. A strong scent of blood radiated from its body. Boom! A spiral of red light shot out from the Corpse Puppet’s fingers, shattering the air, and struck at Chu Ming with thunderous force, arriving in front of him in an instant. Chu Ming could even smell the blood on it. "Meteor Sword!" A cold light flashed in Chu Ming’s eyes, his body quickly flying backwards. His white robe flapped, his black hair standing on end and fluttering. A sword light faster than the eye could follow shot out from the Blue Red Sword, like a comet’s tail or a falling meteor, with rumblings echoing faintly in the sky. Pshh! The sword light and the red finger mark collided, holding each other off for a moment before breaking apart, but a small sphere of red and white appeared at the point of collision, expanding and contracting, containing immense power. "Retreat!!" Chu Ming’s pupils contracted, his body quickly leaping away like a wild goose on a river, leaving behind afterimages. Just as he moved, the small sphere expanded to its limit and exploded in a flash, white air currents radiating rapidly in all directions, reducing rocks within a hundred meters to dust. Chu Ming steadied himself and looked towards the center of the explosion. He saw a ten-meter deep pit in the dust-filled center, extremely horrifying. However, there was no trace of the Corpse Puppet. Dead? Chu Ming frowned! Suddenly, a sense of crisis burst forth in his heart. He looked up sharply, seeing a black shadow rushing towards him. Air currents reversed, white waves rolled, revealing the withered face of the Corpse Puppet with a cold sneer in its eyes. "Chu Ming, take my final move, Silver Corpse Divinity Transformation!!" Boom! Countless silver lights emerged from the Corpse Puppet, its aura undergoing a dramatic change. Like a silver Godslayer, it moved with an overwhelming presence, charging at Chu Ming. Ordinary Martial Artists would be too terrified by this aura to even think of resisting. Chu Ming’s gaze became stern. This move from the Corpse Puppet faintly touched the extreme lethality of the True Dao. He had to treat this seriously, or he might really fall here. "Deceitful Sword!" Chu Ming looked up, waiting until the Corpse Puppet was within three meters before raising his sword. The Blue Red Sword now seemed to transform into thousands of Light Sabers, countless lights shooting through the air, forming countless fine lines, turning the space within ten meters into a world of swords. Psh Psh Psh Psh..... The dense sword light struck the Corpse Puppet’s body, the sound of splitting continuously ringing out, sparks flying. A single strand of light couldn’t break through the Corpse Puppet’s defense, but the beams of the Deceitful Sword were too numerous, like a sea of swords. Under such a multitude of sword lights, the Corpse Puppet’s body finally showed some cracks, with fine threads of blood slowly seeping out. Psh! Amidst the dense sword light, a hidden beam of light silently slashed at the Corpse Puppet’s neck, blood splattering. But the blood was a sallow yellow, completely devoid of any vitality. Thump! The Corpse Puppet’s body fell heavily to the ground. Perhaps even in death, it didn’t expect that it, having just prepared to show its strength after breakthrough, would fall to Chu Ming’s hands. Hoo! Chu Ming breathed a sigh of relief. The Corpse Puppet was very strong. If he hadn’t refined the Fire Essence Fruit and broken through the Sixth Layer of the Pure Essence Sword Qi Technique on the way, it would have been impossible to kill the Corpse Puppet. Moreover, the information provided by the Task Hall about the Corpse Puppet was clearly inaccurate. Chu Ming did not think it was negligence by the Task Hall. After all, the accuracy of information related to the lives of disciples undertaking tasks. The Celestial Travel Sect would not joke about such things. There was only one possibility: the Corpse Puppet had just made a breakthrough, adding uncertainty to the task. Even though the information from the Task Hall was very accurate, any unexpected things could happen during a task. He cut off the Corpse Puppet’s head and placed it in his Storage Ring, also taking the Corpse Puppet’s Storage Ring, and then headed out of the Blood Red Plains. "When did the Celestial Travel Sect get such a ruthless person..." Soon after Chu Ming left, a youth in blood clothes emerged from the other side of the mountain cave, his eyes showing a flash of horror and fear as he looked in the direction Chu Ming had gone. Also a prodigy in the Demon Dao, his strength was still no match for the Corpse Puppet. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have hidden in the dark but teamed up with the Corpse Puppet to kill Chu Ming. Because Chu Ming was fighting the Corpse Puppet, he had no time to notice his surroundings, allowing the observer to witness everything that had happened. ... Two days later, at the Task Hall of the Celestial Travel Sect, Chu Ming respectfully handed the heads of Mo Xu and the Corpse Puppet, along with the North Nether Tiger’s teeth, to the Task Elder. "You actually completed it?" The Task Elder was slightly surprised. He remembered Chu Ming taking on three tasks at once because Chu Ming was a King Level disciple, but he did not expect Chu Ming to complete all three tasks in just seven or eight days. "Yes, Elder!" Chu Ming replied respectfully. "Good, good, good, here is your task reward!" The Task Elder said three "good" in a row, showing his approval of Chu Ming. He lightly swiped his finger over Chu Ming’s token, and Chu Ming instantly gained nearly thirty thousand Contribution Points. "There is an Inner Sect disciple competition in a month. I have high hopes for you!" The Task Elder handed the token and Spirit Stones to Chu Ming, smiling warmly. "Thank you, Elder!" Chu Ming replied respectfully and left the Task Hall, heading towards the Treasure Pavilion. Since the Task Elder mentioned the Inner Sect disciple competition in a month, it wasn’t without reason. In fact, it was no secret in the Celestial Travel Sect, but Chu Ming, being away on tasks, hadn’t heard about it. It was said that three days ago, the Inner Sect Grand Elder had gone out but returned to the Celestial Travel Sect heavily injured a day later. The Sect Leader Yan Nanxing then hurriedly announced that the Inner Sect disciple competition would be held in a month. Generally, the Inner Sect disciple competition was held once every three years. The last one was last year, but this time it was moved up by two years, which was very intriguing.
