Martial Saint through Reading

Chapter 319: Chapter 265: If Fate Is Set by Heaven, Then Break This Heaven

"Let’s leave it like this for now."

He flicked his finger, and the white point flew out of the palace.

Soon, the white point seemed to pierce through endless territories, crossing through Cangqing Domain, Profound Celestial Domain, Qianwu Star Kingdom, and Cangqian Continent...

Cangqian Continent, Ancient Profound Western Continent, at the border between Great Qin Dynasty and Jingyue Kingdom.

"Kill!"

"Charge, everyone charge!"

"Kill ten Tiger Armor Army soldiers and be promoted to Decurion, rewarded with a thousand taels of silver!"

The soldiers of Jingyue Kingdom frantically charged at the Tiger Armor Army without regard for their lives.

"Little Black Head! Little Black Head!"

In the chaos, an old man and a young boy looked terrified.

"Grandpa... Grandpa..." The boy with blackened skin was swept into the battlefield’s center by a group of armored soldiers.

This place used to be a village in Jingyue Kingdom, with the old and young as villagers.

But due to the war between the two nations, the village turned into a battlefield.

Whoosh—

Suddenly, an arrow fell from the sky.

Pfft!

Unerringly, the arrow pierced through the boy’s body.

"Grandpa..." The boy fell and painfully crawled backward.

However, this was a battlefield, where two armies clashed, staining the earth with blood.

The boy was quickly swallowed by the sea of people.

"Little Black Head... Little Black Head..." The old man kept calling out bitterly.

He looked despairingly at the person crawling towards the battlefield’s center, mouth and nose full of blood.

"Kill!"

"For a thousand taels of silver!"

"..."

More soldiers rushed toward the already corpse-strewn battlefield.

"Little Black Head..." The old man crawled in despair, a heavy hoof occasionally landing on his back.

"Puff!"

Blood sprayed out, and the old man could no longer move, his awareness beginning to fade.

All of a sudden, he seemed to see a white star falling from the sky, crashing into the battlefield’s center, and then saw a young man with blackened skin brandishing a long spear, sweeping across the battlefield and coming straight for him.

"Little Black Head, is that you?" With all his strength, the old man lifted his head and saw a young man resembling his grandson, with equally blackened skin.

"It’s me." The young man bent down, lifted the old man onto his back, "Grandpa, I’ll take you away."

"Cough cough... You’re not Little Black Head, he’s only eleven, can... can you take me to find Little Black Head..." The old man was still searching for his grandson before passing out.

The young man with blackened skin stood in place with a dazed expression, first looking at his hands, then comparing his height.

"I’m not Little Black Head... Little Black Head is already dead..."

"Then who am I?"

"..."

His eyes looked somewhat vacant.

"Kill!"

"..."

Only the sounds of killing and the clash of weapons echoed in his ears.

Suddenly, his eyes seemed to flash with white light.

"I am Little Black Head, but I’m no longer called Little Black Head, I am..." He looked up at the sky, "Hei Qing!"

"..."

...

Great Qin Dynasty, on the road to Qin Capital, Golden Snake Ridge.

Chu Ming gazed at the withered body before him, and his eyes, originally as calm as an ancient well, slightly flickered, with Baili Xinghua’s dying words echoing in his ears.

"From the day I was born, my fate was destined to end today."

"Everything in this world was already predetermined."

"Studying poetry and books earnestly, mastering all kinds of knowledge, yet it can’t compare to the words of those people..."

Is fate really dictated by the heavens?

He looked up at the sky, then lowered his eyes.

If the heavens dictate destiny, then... break this sky.

Chu Ming brushed away chaotic thoughts, approached Baili Xinghua, and with a subtle thought, his golden sword lifted the fallen Black Bead.

Baili Xinghua practiced martial arts and was a martial artist in the Strong Bone Realm, which involved hammering the four limbs’ bones.

Yet the black aura around him could devour Meridian Unlocking Realm experts, clearly abnormal.

He could sense that the source of the black aura was this Black Bead.

Fixing his gaze, the interior of the Black Bead was profound like an abyss, seemingly hiding black aura within.

Earlier, when Baili Xinghua used the black aura to attack, Chu Ming sensed a terrifying devouring power.

The feeling of this devouring power was somewhat similar to the aura of supremacy he encountered at Mieqin River Bay when the Blood Evil Sect was destroyed.

Thus, he released the Qi Rhythm White Light while preparing his defenses.

The result was as he expected, the Qi Rhythm White Light purified the black aura.

Deprived of the black aura, Baili Xinghua’s vitality failed.

Chu Ming opened his palm, controlling his Primordial Artifact to place the Black Bead into his hand.

Upon contact with flesh and blood, black aura immediately began to escape from the Black Bead.

"Chu Royal Attendant!"

"Senior Brother Chu!"

Both Meng Zhen and Jiang Zhan, who were apprehensive nearby, were immediately frightened by the sight.

Both had guessed that the transformation of Baili Xinghua was largely related to the Black Bead, fearing it might also affect Chu Ming.
