"Fine, I'll see how long you can keep up your stubbornness."
As soon as he spoke, the Bad Commander gave a cold snort, and his true essence surged instantly. Golden, lightning-like energy flowed across his body's surface, accompanied by crackling sounds.
Almost the instant the true energy permeated the surroundings, the Bad Commander took a step forward.
With this step, the Bad Commander actually crossed a distance of nearly thirty feet and appeared one foot in front of Chu Qinghe.
At this moment, the Bad Commander still had one hand behind his back, appearing calm and collected.
However, his other hand was lightly clenched into a fist and swung towards Chu Qinghe.
Wherever the fist passed, the surrounding air seemed unable to withstand the force and pressure contained in the punch, causing the air to crackle and pop continuously.
Seeing the Bad Commander's reaction, Chu Qinghe remained calm, as if he hadn't noticed that the Bad Commander had already rushed in front of him.
But the next second, a powerful sword aura burst forth from Chu Qinghe's body and shot straight at the Bad Commander in front of him.
This sword energy came too suddenly and too fast.
In addition, the distance between the Bad Commander and Chu Qinghe was too close at this time.
Even a martial artist at the Divine Throne Realm would likely find it difficult to withstand Chu Qinghe's penetrating sword energy.
But the Bad Commander was, after all, a martial artist at the Divine Illumination Realm.
Faced with this sword energy, a hint of contempt flashed in the eyes of the Bad Commander, and he neither dodged nor avoided it, letting Chu Qinghe's sword energy collide with his fist.
It should be noted that for a martial artist like the Bad Commander who has reached the Divine Illumination Realm, his true essence is already capable of autonomously forming a protective aura around his body.
Even ordinary mid-stage or late-stage Divine Throne Realm martial artists would find it difficult to break through this layer of qi with their full-force attacks, let alone Chu Qinghe, a mere late-stage Celestial Realm martial artist.
In the eyes of the Bad Commander, even if he stood still and let Chu Qinghe hit him, Chu Qinghe's attacks would hardly be able to hurt him in the slightest.
As Chu Qinghe's sword energy approached, when it was still nearly three inches away from the Bad Commander's body, the sword energy, surrounded by swirling sword light and bursting forth with condensed sword intent, sliced through the Bad Commander's protective qi as easily as cutting through tofu, and then ruthlessly tore apart the qi and true essence gathered around the Bad Commander's fist.
Upon noticing this, the expression beneath the mask of the Bad Commander changed drastically.
But before the Bad Commander could think further, a sharp pain and a surge of immense force silently rushed through his fist.
Under this powerful force, the Bad Commander was instantly forced back to where he had been standing.
Raising his right hand, the commander's eyes narrowed sharply as he looked at the deep, bone-revealing wound on it.
"How is this possible? A martial artist at the Celestial Realm could actually injure me?"
After manipulating the blood and qi within his body to stop the bleeding from the wound on his hand that Chu Qinghe had just left, the Bad Commander slightly raised his eyes and looked at Chu Qinghe again.
After taking a deep breath, the Bad Commander said with a tone of undisguised shock, "It seems that I really underestimated you. A mere Celestial Realm martial artist, yet your strength is comparable to that of a martial artist at the peak of the Divine Throne Realm."
Hearing what the Bad Commander said, Chu Qinghe did not refute it, but looked at the Bad Commander with interest and said, "Does the Commander want to try it again?"
Upon hearing this, the Bad Commander sneered, "Why not?"
As soon as the voice left his mouth, the true energy within the Bad Commander surged once more.
This time, however, just as the Bad Commander lifted his foot, dozens of sword energies appeared out of thin air three zhang away from him and rushed towards him from different directions.
Almost the instant these dozens of sword energies appeared, the Bad Commander immediately realized that these dozens of sword energies had locked onto all his positions in an instant.
In response, the Bad Commander pressed down with both hands, and in an instant, true essence rapidly overflowed from his body, transforming into a golden shield with a diameter of one zhang (approximately 3.3 meters) that enveloped him. Streams of true essence flowed around the golden shield, giving people a feeling of both water and fire.
Even around the golden dome, there were hissing sounds as air currents were torn apart.
When these dozens of sword energies struck the golden shield, golden ripples spread across the shield, but the energy and true essence quickly dissolved the dozens of sword energies.
After successfully blocking dozens of sword energies, the Bad Commander raised his eyes slightly and looked at Chu Qinghe, saying, "Is this all the strength you have?"
Upon hearing the words of the Bad Commander, Chu Qinghe smiled.
This was the first time Chu Qinghe had heard such a thing.
Since we've already taken action today, even though Chu Qinghe can't openly kill the Bad Commander, it's not unreasonable for him to vent his anger by making a move in public.
Therefore, as soon as the Bad Commander's voice fell, Chu Qinghe's true energy was circulating wildly within his body, and his gaze was also fixed on the Bad Commander.
The moment Chu Qinghe's gaze locked onto the Bad Commander, the Bad Commander suddenly felt a strange sense of unease in his heart.
The next second, in the eyes of the Bad Commander, as Chu Qinghe, thirty feet away, closed his folding fan and pointed one end at him, terrifying sword energy poured out of Chu Qinghe's hand like a flood bursting its banks, and then gathered in the air into a giant sword energy nearly twenty feet long, which fiercely rushed towards the Bad Commander.
As the giant sword energy condensed, looking at it gradually approaching him, the Bad Commander suddenly felt a chill rapidly growing down his spine, and after this chill appeared, it rose all the way up to the top of the sky.
