Chapter 1342: Chapter 742: Desperate Situation, Killing Trap! (Part 3)
And this young boss took only five minutes…
They recalled that figure climbing just now, only feeling that the other party took a textbook-level route and performed textbook-level climbing moves.
But they knew that they couldn’t use these routes and moves, because they had to consider oxygen consumption and whether their physical strength could sustain them through this route…
Ming Ma said, “Don’t just stand there. Since someone is helping, let’s finish setting up the equipment and withdraw immediately. No matter what his identity is, right now he is an benefactor to the Sherpas.”
The Sherpas got busy. Somehow, everyone felt much more at ease, as if there was nothing to fear from any dangers that might come.
Amid the wild wind, they fixed the pitons and set up aluminum ladders. Ming Ma and Nima followed this path up to the Hillary Step.
Ming Ma shouted loudly, “Young boss, it’s time to retreat. Our work is done!”
Qing Chen smiled and refused, “You guys go back!”
Ming Ma and Nima were taken aback, “Young boss, are you going to the summit? Climbing to the summit now is like seeking death!”
Qing Chen smiled and shook his head again. His path was not just to reach the summit.
Ming Ma was puzzled, “Young boss, where are you going?”
“You’ve completed your paths, I still have mine, and mine is just beginning.”
Qing Chen placed his palms on the heads of Ming Ma and Nima, channeling a small amount of Knight Aura into them.
At this altitude of 8,600 meters, Ming Ma and Nima shed two lines of turbid tears. They only felt that the body, which had just been soaked by the wind and snow, was quickly warming up.
Qing Chen smiled and said, “I admire the spirit of the Sherpas. The empowerment extends your life by 21 years. Good luck to you.”
With that said, he turned and walked towards the highest point.
Nima recalled the wooden Buddha Beads on Qing Chen’s wrist and exclaimed, “Rinpoche! It’s Rinpoche!”
Living Buddha! It’s a Living Buddha!
Nima and Ming Ma did not know about the world beyond, nor did they know the Azure Dragon of Great Might, but they recognized a simple truth: this Living Buddha truly could empower, and he truly saved all of them…
Only a Living Buddha can provide empowerment, but none of the Living Buddhas around them had such miraculous effects!
In Nima’s eyes, this was a Living Buddha emerging to save the Sherpa people!
This is a true Living Buddha!
The two deeply bowed down on the snow. When they slowly stood up again, they saw Qing Chen’s figure gradually disappearing into the black storm.
The Hillary Step was only an hour’s distance from the summit, and Qing Chen embarked on this solitary path of the firmament alone.
In the distance, mountains gradually became faint and disappeared, the world vast and wide, leaving only himself.
Qing Chen slowly but steadfastly faced the storm, step by step reaching the top of Mount Everest, where he sat at the pinnacle of the world, quietly overlooking the desolate world below.
At that moment, he felt incredibly close to the elusive will of the world, as if fate destined him to touch the firmament.
Ten minutes later, Qing Chen slowly stood up again. He took out his skis, snow boots, goggles, and helmet from his climbing bag.
He removed all burdens from his body and put on a new complete set of equipment.
“Breathe.”
The fire rune on Qing Chen’s face extinguished, and an ice-blue crack like those on a glacier began to spread rapidly.
He silently waited for several tens of seconds, then leapt down the northern slope, and the life and death challenge began!
It was at that moment that the crystal dragonfly above him witnessed the scene, and just as Qing Chen landed on the snow slope on his skis, someone leaped out like a leopard.
That was Arthur, who had returned. He hadn’t left from the very beginning; after teleporting, he went to a secret base at the foot of the mountain, made all the preparations, and then took a helicopter to the summit at the fastest speed.
The normal flight altitude limit for helicopters is 6,000 meters because, due to thin air, ordinary helicopters lose power at high altitudes.
However, in 2005, someone used a specially modified AS350-B3 helicopter to land on the summit of Mount Everest.
Most private planes of commercial airlines maintain altitudes above 10,000 meters.
This time, the Kingdom organization had deployed a special helicopter early, waiting at the foot of the mountain. Everything King planned was to kill Qing Chen at this very moment, or to cut off his cultivation path, so he could never grow again.
The Kingdom, Future, and Deer Island organizations had all withdrawn.
But the battle between Joker and King was far from over.
Joker came to Nepal’s south slope of Mount Everest, making everyone think he was going to face a life and death challenge, and creating numerous misleading illusions. He eventually destroyed the Kingdom and Future headquarters and even thought of using the Key of Gate to achieve a once-and-for-all solution to eradicate overseas forces.
On King’s side, they hit back just when everyone thought they had withdrawn.
He didn’t wait on the summit, but only chose to act after confirming that Qing Chen had truly begun his life and death challenge.
All tactics were against human nature. Only by doing what the enemy didn’t expect could you truly surprise them.
Both Joker and King were merely searching for this “unexpected.”
But on the snow slope, Arthur, holding a long knife, came slashing towards Qing Chen. As soon as he raised his hand, Qing Chen recognized it as a Qieshe Yumian technique.
Unexpectedly, Jindai had already handed over their martial arts heritage to bring in wolves.
The snow on Mount Everest was all stirred up; Qing Chen no longer avoided the opponent’s gaze but looked straight into his eyes. He clicked his heels to release himself from the skis and charged forward!
In the battle of momentum, one must advance or retreat.
At this moment, Arthur was shocked to find that Qing Chen’s movement speed was not much slower than his own, and that ice-blue pattern was completely fake!
Not only was this time a fake, but every time Qing Chen displayed the Reverse Breathing Technique since arriving at the Mount Everest Base Camp was fake.
The bindings on the skis that seemed locked were actually broken from the start and could be easily freed with a light push!
Qing Chen counterattacked from above the enemy, his figure like a tiger, his aura like a dragon.
The wind and snow on Mount Everest moved with him, as if there were indeed an azure dragon behind him.
The two met on the steep northern slope, one striking upwards with the knife, the other fiercely pouncing down.
Amidst the wind and snow, a clang resounded through the heavens and the earth as Qing Chen infused Knight Aura into his fingers and flicked heavily on the blade with his index finger.
Last time, he had flicked like this, easily shattering the longswords of two Qieshe Yumian members on Osaka’s street.
However, this time, Qing Chen was injured. The long knife wobbled and trembled, almost flying out of Arthur’s hands, but it didn’t break.
Arthur’s heart was filled with shock and uncertainty. He clearly noticed that Qing Chen was injured, yet he was still so ferocious even when heavily wounded!
Is this Joker’s true strength?!
Arthur roared, “What are you waiting for?!”
The voice drifted in the wind, as another person burst out from the snow on Qing Chen’s left. Li Yunze split into five in mid-air.
Dire straits, a lethal trap!
