The Marriage of an Esteemed Supreme Healer, a Noble Ruler

Chapter 458 - Back Hand

Chapter 458: Back Hand

The spark of light reflected in her eyes and made them dazzle and sparkle. However, this spark of light was unassuming when compared to the large, greenish-red palm that Situ Xingchen executed in midair.

Everyone’s gazes gathered on the imposing palm.

Chu Liuyue looked up and squinted her eyes slightly.

There was a vague pattern in the middle of the palm. It was exactly the same as the pattern that appeared on the light pillar.

Chu Liuyue’s heart tingled slightly. That pattern is clearly a seal, but for some reason, it actually appeared on the palm.

Suddenly, she noticed a ripple coming from the Cosmic Bag. It still came from the wooden box that she took from Situ Xingchen earlier.

That strange pattern seemed to encompass a special strength, and it would cause a large reaction every time it appeared.

At this moment, Situ Xingchen hollered, “Go!”

That palm slowly went toward Chu Liuyue, and the tremendous suppression kept spreading from above.

The surrounding space seemed to be implicated by the suppression as it became heavy and sticky.

Chu Liuyue could clearly feel that she was in a mud-like state, and her every movement required much more effort.

“Situ Xingchen’s suppression has definitely reached the peak of a stage-five warrior. Chu Liuyue is in danger!”

“She still rushed over. She doesn’t have enough time to escape!”

“I really don’t know what she’s thinking…”

Everyone partook in heated discussions.

Chu Liuyue—who was in midair—did not hear this. But even if she did, she wouldn’t care.

Since she dared to do this, she definitely had her own reasons.

That gigantic palm seemed to be moving very slowly, but its speed was very fast. In the blink of an eye, it was near Chu Liuyue.

In comparison, Chu Liuyue seemed especially small and petite. It looked as if she would be swallowed by that palm at any time.

But at this moment, Chu Liuyue finally stretched out her right hand and gently knocked her index finger. “Jingshen Finger!”

Buzz!

A ripple suddenly appeared in the empty air. Then, the spark of light on her fingertip suddenly exploded.

Half of the sky above Chu Liuyue’s head seemed to light up.

The light was imposing, dazzling, and magnificent. It was as though it was big and warm enough to contain everything in the world.

Under the accompaniment of this light, the palm with the strange pattern suddenly seemed ugly and unkempt.

The forces of the two parties intersected.

Like snow that met with sunlight, the palm actually started to shrink silently.

Situ Xingchen’s delighted smile froze, and horror crept up to her face. W-why is this… I used all my strength in this attack, but why did it fail so quickly after Chu Liuyue took action?! It seems like it can’t even retaliate!

Situ Xingchen kept urging the strength in her body and injected it into the palm, but in the end, it was to no avail.

She looked at Chu Liuyue in disbelief and hatred. One finger… Chu Liuyue just used one finger to win against me?

Actually, Chu Liuyue was just as shocked as Situ Xingchen at this point. This was her first time officially executing Jingshen Finger after learning it.

She knew that Jingshen Finger was formidable, but she didn’t expect the effects to be of this extent. This was clearly much stronger than other warrior techniques of the same level.

Chu Liuyue looked at her finger. That bright light contained tremendous strength. If I didn’t see it personally, I never would’ve believed the scene before my eyes. Perhaps… This is the strength of a Heaven-grade warrior technique?

Situ Xingchen finally panicked. If I continue fighting with Chu Liuyue, it definitely will not benefit me. The only thing I can do now is rapidly strengthen my capabilities.

Hong!

The gigantic palm finally disintegrated, and the strange pattern also disappeared.

Blood flowed out from the corner of Situ Xingchen’s mouth, and she looked even more unkempt in addition to her already bloodied body. The next moment, she suddenly turned around and ran into the distance.

Chu Liuyue raised her brows slightly and lightly patted Xue Xue.

Xue Xue immediately understood and rushed forward.

It was naturally much quicker than Situ Xingchen. Not long later, it blocked her path.

Upon seeing that Chu Liuyue had managed to catch up to her so quickly, Situ Xingchen’s expression looked ugly.

“Eldest Princess Situ, we haven’t battled to find out who the winner is, yet you just… escaped? Isn’t this inappropriate?” asked Chu Liuyue with a light smile.

Situ Xingchen clenched her silver teeth. She could feel countless pairs of eyes staring at her from below.

Mockery, contempt, disdain! They were all going for her!

“W-who said I’m going to escape?!” yelled Situ Xingchen forcefully, and her voice was way sharper than before. “You just used some unorthodox methods. Chu Liuyue, do you really think you’ll be my opponent?”

Chu Liuyue laughed. Unorthodox methods? I should return this sentence to Situ Xingchen instead.

“You will find out very quickly if I’m your opponent or not.” Chu Liuyue smiled lightly, but harsh murderous intent flashed across her eyes.

The next moment, she jumped out and went straight for Situ Xingchen.

Situ Xingchen was first shocked before she sneered in her heart. Chu Liuyue is actually planning to have a physical fight with me personally. This is her most stupid decision today! The two of us are exactly two stages apart, so Chu Liuyue’s physical strength definitely can’t be compared to mine. If Chu Liuyue continues to execute her previous moves, she might not be able to endure it. But now… she is clearly courting her own death!

“You’re tired of living!” Situ Xingchen circulated her force and raised her hand. “Flying Eagle Claw!”

A few broken figures merged together, and they went for Chu Liuyue’s head in unison.

Chu Liuyue went forward.

Her wrist moved in a certain manner, and she avoided Situ Xingchen’s attack. She also held onto the other’s wrist in a deadly grasp. Then, she exerted strength with her fingers and clenched tightly.

Kacha!

A crisp, bone-breaking sound was heard.

“Ahh!” Situ Xingchen yelled out in pain, and her entire face was pale.

At that moment, there was only one thought left in her mind: How is Chu Liuyue’s wrist strength so great?!

Situ Xingchen instinctively raised her legs and kicked toward Chu Liuyue, but the latter was even faster.

Bang!

The duo’s legs harshly slammed against each other.

Situ Xingchen felt as if she had hit a metal board as her entire leg became numb. After a short moment, excruciating pain was felt.

She looked up in shock and shot a deadly stare at Chu Liuyue, her eyes filled with vengeance. “You bi—”

Chu Liuyue’s lips curved up slightly, and a cold light flashed across her palm, going straight for Situ Xingchen’s heart.

Situ Xingchen was stunned, and she immediately avoided it with all her might.

Choo!

That dagger stabbed straight into her chest and was only a short distance away from her heart.

But Chu Liuyue did not stop as she held the dagger’s handle and harshly twisted it.

“Split!”

Two thin flying blades instantly entered Situ Xingchen’s body!
