Chapter 109

The youth in leather armor was finally beheaded by Lu Qing with a single stroke.When Mago saw the head flying into the air, he felt both shocked and complex emotions.

He was shocked because he didn't expect Lu Qing's current strength to have reached such a formidable level.

Even a formidable opponent like the leather-armored youth could be easily slain.

The complexity arose from seeing the once powerful enemy, who had driven him to the brink of despair, perish in an instant, leaving him with a sense of wistfulness.

However, before Mago could dwell further on his thoughts,

"Junior Brother!"

A mournful cry echoed from above the valley, resounding through the mountains and forests.

Immediately after, a figure leaped down from the top of the valley, borrowing force several times from the cliff face before landing in the valley.

The immense downward force directly created two large pits at the bottom of the valley, and the surging Qi and blood energy made Mago feel a chill of fear.

It was a burly, disheveled middle-aged man with a face full of ferocity.

"Internal Organs Realm?"

Lu Qing's expression also became serious. He immediately activated his abilities and looked towards the newcomer.

Soon, a faint red light emerged from the newcomer's body.

[Wang Qingshan: A disciple of the Northern Border Tian Cang Sect, an adopted son of the Precelestial martial artist Wang Cangyi. He is domineering, protective, and cruel. His cultivation: Postnatal Internal Organs Realm, possessing a secret explosive technique that can temporarily double his combat strength. Due to the deliberate flattery and praise from Tong Canglang, Wang Qingshan regards him as a brother.]

Internal Organs Realm Small Accomplishment!

When Lu Qing saw the newcomer's cultivation, his heart grew heavy.

Such an opponent was not someone he could handle.

Even if his blade skills were superior, the gap in cultivation was too vast.

Sheer power can overcome any skill when the strength difference is too great. Sёarch* The ηovёlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

However…

Lu Qing's eyes also noticed another piece of information.

It seemed that this Northern Border Tian Cang Sect was not a righteous sect. How could their disciples be so cruel and bloodthirsty?

A sect that could teach such disciples meant that the Precelestial Wang Cangyi was probably not a kind person either.

"Junior Brother!"

The middle-aged man looked mournfully at the head on the ground, confirming it was indeed his junior brother who had always shown him great respect. Boundless anger rose in his heart.

"You dare to kill my junior brother?"

The middle-aged man's eyes turned red with rage as he looked at Lu Qing.

"Boy, you're dead. No one in this world can save you. I will break your limbs, skin you, and torture you in front of my junior brother's grave for seven days. You will beg for death but find no release, to appease my junior brother's spirit!"

The cruel and hateful words sent chills down Mago's spine.

It's over!

Mago's heart sank into despair again.

He never expected that after killing the leather-armored youth, an even stronger senior brother would appear.

Sensing the horrifying Qi and blood energy from the opponent, Mago knew very well.

The person in front of them must be a top expert surpassing the Tendons and Bones Realm, an Internal Organs Realm martial artist!

How could they possibly deal with such an enemy?

"Those who kill will be killed. If your junior brother attacked me, he should be prepared to be killed. Didn't your master teach you these principles?"

Facing the murderous intent from the middle-aged man, Lu Qing remained unfazed and spoke calmly.

"Well said. In that case, are you ready to be tortured to death by me?"

The middle-aged man grinned, his eyes flashing with ferocity. His Qi and blood erupted, shaking the air as he pounced towards Lu Qing.

The palm, as large as a fan, created a gust of wind, directly aiming for Lu Qing's neck.

The middle-aged man's pounce was extremely intimidating, like a ferocious tiger leaping from its cage. The sheer ferocity made Mago retreat continuously.

"Come on!"

Facing the middle-aged man's extremely ferocious attack, Lu Qing showed no fear. Instead, his eyes shone brightly.

The power that had been brewing since the middle-aged man's appearance finally erupted.

His Qi and blood fully circulated, stimulating the major acupoints throughout his body.

Explosive Qi Technique, activate!

The surged power several times over empowered Lu Qing.

He lowered his body, sank his shoulders, and set up the starting stance for the Four Directions Blade.

His muscles and bones were fully connected, resounding with a series of explosions.

In the next instant, a dazzling blade light appeared, slicing through all the air currents in front of Lu Qing, slashing towards the middle-aged man!

Huh?

The middle-aged man's fierce eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.

He felt that Lu Qing's strike had locked all his movements, giving him the feeling that no matter which direction he moved, he would collide with Lu Qing's blade.

This kid's blade technique is so exquisite?

The middle-aged man was slightly surprised.

However, what use is exquisite technique!

After the surprise, the middle-aged man's eyes were once again filled with ferocity.

Facing Lu Qing's exquisite strike, he didn't slow down. The hand that was reaching for Lu Qing's neck shifted its trajectory, slapping towards the side of Lu Qing's blade.

With the middle-aged man's strength, if this slap landed, even a well-tempered steel blade would likely break.

However, Lu Qing, whose blade technique had reached the level of blending hardness and softness and meticulous precision, was not so easily bested.

At the critical moment, he slightly twisted his wrist, reversing the blade to meet the middle-aged man's palm.

What?!

The middle-aged man's eyes flashed with surprise again.

Lu Qing's counter move once again exceeded his expectations.

He hadn't expected Lu Qing's control over his power to be so seamless and effortless.

To execute such a change of move in such a confined space.

Seeing that if he didn't evade, his hand would be sliced off.

Even though he was an Internal Organs Realm expert, his body was still flesh and blood, not invulnerable.

Reluctantly, the middle-aged man had to flick his fingers, hitting the back of the blade, avoiding the edge, and retreating.

This exchange ended with the middle-aged man retreating.

Mago, watching from the side, almost popped his eyes out.

What did he just see?

Brother Lu Qing actually forced that middle-aged man to retreat with a single strike?

What just happened?!

The exchange between Lu Qing and the middle-aged man happened too quickly.

Even Mago, who was also at the Tendons and Bones Realm, couldn't grasp the intricacies.

But it didn't stop him from feeling immense shock.

Because he simply couldn't imagine, how Lu Qing, at the Tendons and Bones Realm, could force a top Internal Organs Realm martial artist to temporarily retreat.

"Unexpectedly, even though you are at the Tendons and Bones Realm, you can already comprehend such a profound blade technique!"

After steadying himself, the middle-aged man looked at Lu Qing with surprise.

Although Lu Qing's cultivation was insignificant in his eyes,

The blade technique he had just displayed was something he had to take seriously.

At the same time, his heart was filled with astonishment.

Blade technique master!

This boy in front of him had already reached the level of a blade technique master in comprehension!

Even though he had stepped into the Small Accomplishment of the Internal Organs Realm,

His martial arts skills had not yet reached that level.

How did this boy in front of him train!

At this moment, the middle-aged man finally understood why his junior brother, with such cultivation, was killed by Lu Qing, who had just entered the Tendons and Bones Realm.

Blade technique master.

Being targeted by such a monster, how could his junior brother not lose.

"Boy, who exactly are you?"

Unconsciously, the middle-aged man's expression became solemn.

To comprehend a master-level blade technique at such a young age.

He had never heard of such a martial arts genius.

Even among the major martial arts sects, there was no disciple as outstanding as this.

If anything, only those mysterious hidden sects could possibly cultivate such a monstrous talent.

Could it be that this boy in front of him was a disciple from one of those mysterious places out for training?

Thinking of this, the middle-aged man's heart tightened.

According to rumors, those mysterious places produced geniuses who couldn't be judged by common standards.

They often had mysterious experts as guardians.

If Lu Qing was indeed a disciple from those mysterious places, there might be a martial arts expert hidden nearby.

The middle-aged man immediately started scanning his surroundings, trying to find traces of that mysterious expert.

Lu Qing didn't know that his display of blade technique had caused the middle-aged man to have some strange misunderstandings.

He was quietly circulating his Qi and blood, easing the numbness in his arm.

At the same time, he marveled at the strength of an Internal Organs Realm expert.

Just a flick of the finger had left his arm numb.

If not for the Explosive Qi Technique, that single move might have disarmed him.

Indeed, it was too ambitious to think of facing an Internal Organs Realm expert with just blade technique.

Without the support of cultivation, even the highest level of technique was a castle in the air.

After circulating his Qi and blood for a while, feeling his arm had recovered, Lu Qing finally responded to the middle-aged man's question.

"I am just a mere countryside lad, not worth mentioning."

"Hmph! I didn't expect a disciple from a mysterious place to be so evasive, not even daring to admit your master."

The middle

-aged man sneered, not believing Lu Qing's words.

"However, even if you are a disciple from a mysterious place, you are at fault for killing my junior brother. I will capture you and bring you back to my sect, making your master give an explanation to our Tian Cang Sect!"

The middle-aged man had already thought it through.

His junior brother was dead, and he had already attacked Lu Qing.

The enmity was already formed, and it wouldn't be easily resolved.

It was better to strike first and capture Lu Qing, then take him back to his master.

At least it could probe whether there was a guardian expert nearby.

With that, the middle-aged man reached out, took a pair of iron gauntlets from his waist, and put them on.

Lu Qing's blade technique was too formidable. Even he wouldn't easily capture Lu Qing barehanded.

A moment of carelessness could lead to a loss.

So the middle-aged man decided to go all out and capture Lu Qing as quickly as possible.

Once Lu Qing was captured, even if the guardian expert showed up, he would have a bargaining chip.

As a core disciple of the Tian Cang Sect, the middle-aged man knew some of the rules of those mysterious places.

The disciples who came out for training, though guarded by experts, could only be rescued in life-threatening situations.

As long as he didn't intend to kill Lu Qing, the guardian might not intervene.

Even if they did, he wasn't afraid.

The rule that Precelestial experts couldn't attack those below Precelestial was set by the Sacred Mountain.

Even the mysterious places had to comply.

If the guardian was a Precelestial expert, they wouldn't dare kill him.

If they were Postnatal, even at the peak, he could still escape.

Thinking of this, the middle-aged man immediately flexed his arms and pounced at Lu Qing again.

Although he didn't know why the opponent's attitude changed from a killing intent to just capturing him.

Seeing the middle-aged man retrieve his weapon, Lu Qing naturally didn't want to engage again.

As the man pounced, Lu Qing lightly stepped back and called softly, "Xiao Li."

This inexplicable word made the middle-aged man hesitate slightly, but then he felt a sudden chill from his heart.

He was instantly horrified, forgetting about capturing Lu Qing.

He quickly crossed his arms in front of his chest.

The next moment, a flash of cold light, and a white paw reached out from the void in front of the middle-aged man, aiming for his heart!

What is this?!

The sudden and bizarre turn of events was beyond the middle-aged man's wildest dreams.

But after years of cultivation, his instinctive reaction kicked in.

Without thinking, he clawed towards the white paw!

Swish!

He thought he could block the strange paw, but to his greater horror,

The iron gauntlets, forged from refined steel, were sliced like tofu.

The same happened to half of his hand.

"Ugh!"

With half his hand falling to the ground, the middle-aged man couldn't help but groan in pain.

The pain of losing a hand was unbearable even for an Internal Organs Realm expert.

However, more than the pain, what terrified the middle-aged man was that the white paw disappeared after injuring him.

He watched it merge into the void.

The eerie scene made the middle-aged man feel cold all over.

Because he sensed that the chilling presence was still around.

The owner of the paw was still nearby.

But no matter how he sensed, he couldn't find any trace.

"Wait!"

The middle-aged man shouted.

However, before he could finish, he felt another chill from his heart, and the white paw appeared again, aiming for his heart.

This time, the target was still his heart!

The white paw moved so quickly that even an Internal Organs Realm expert like him couldn't dodge.

Helpless, he used his other intact hand to meet it.

Swish!

Another flash of cold light, and this time, the middle-aged man wasn't so lucky.

His entire hand was severed from the wrist by the white paw.

The muscles and bones of an Internal Organs Realm couldn't withstand it.

In an instant, the middle-aged man had lost both hands.
