Chapter 110

Chapter 110: Killing the Inner Viscera! Touching the Corpse

instantly, both hands were crippled.

The middle-aged man, sweating with pain, felt a wave of utter fear.

He had never imagined he would encounter such a bizarre event.

Even now, he still didn’t know what had struck him so grievously.

The tiny white claws, though adorable, held terrifying destructive power.

Neither steel nor his own forged flesh could withstand them; they were sliced apart like tofu.

Most terrifying of all, he still couldn’t figure out how this mysterious creature appeared.

Its elusive appearances made it impossible for him to track it down.

Even if he wanted to fight back, he wouldn’t have a chance.

How could he possibly fight?

Could this be the guardian sent by the mysterious land to train its disciples, a terrifying, ghostly creature?

The middle-aged man’s heart sank cold.

Ma Gu, standing nearby, watched as both of the middle-aged man’s hands were crippled in the blink of an eye.

He was so shocked he could hardly believe his eyes.

What kind of creature was that, capable of instantly and severely injuring even a warrior in the Inner Viscera Realm?

What shocked Ma Gu

even more was the middle-aged man’s next words. “My dear friend, I apologize for offending you just now. Could you spare me next time?”

Feeling the chill still lingering in his heart, the middle-aged man dared not neglect his words.

He could tell that this mysterious and terrifying monster seemed to be following Lu Qing’s orders, and he quickly begged for mercy.

His hands were crippled, and if the strange creature attacked again, he would be completely defenseless.

Facing the middle-aged man’s plea for mercy, Lu Qing made no response.

Only a hint of sarcasm flashed in his eyes.

As expected, the so-called Inner Viscera Realm warriors were no different from ordinary people.

When they were powerful, they bullied others, calling for v*olence and killing.

When their lives were threatened, they knelt and begged for mercy, revealing their true colors.

If Xiao Li hadn’t been here today, he and Ma Gu would have been tortured to death.

So how could he possibly feel any compassion for such a person?

“Boy, don’t push me too far. If you want me dead, I’ll kill you first!”

The middle-aged man saw the cold indifference in Lu Qing’s eyes and knew begging for mercy was futile.

Desperate, he immediately became filled with rage.

He roared, and a powerful aura suddenly erupted from him. He had already unleashed his master’s unique secret technique, stimulating vital energy and blood throughout his body, dramatically increasing his strength.

After unleashing the technique, the middle-aged man felt a surge of regret.

He regretted underestimating his foe.

If he had used the technique from the beginning, going all out against Lu Qing,

even with his advanced swordsmanship, he would have been no match for him in a single blow.

If he had captured or killed Lu Qing immediately, perhaps he would have avoided his current fate.

Unfortunately, there’s no medicine for regret.

Now, with both his hands crippled, even with the technique, he couldn’t stop the mysterious monster.

The only thing left for him to do was to kill Lu Qing, the culprit, at the cost of his life!

After the secret technique was completed, the middle-aged man stomped his feet, unleashing a powerful force that created a massive crater, shaking the entire riverbed slightly.

With this powerful force, the middle-aged man vanished from his position, reappearing not far in front of Lu Qing.

So fast!

Lu Qing had already retreated at the moment of the other man’s explosive power,

but the middle-aged man still caught up in an instant.

A master of the Internal Viscera Realm was truly formidable; even the loss of both hands had a significant impact on their explosive power.

Feeling the middle-aged man’s incredible speed, Lu Qing inwardly praised him.

However…

in terms of speed, who among all the post-natal realm warriors in the world could match Xiao Li?

Facing the middle-aged man’s murderous expression,

Lu Qing remained unfazed.

For Xiao Li was now directly over his shoulder.

With the speed of his secret technique, the middle-aged man closed in on Lu Qing.

Seeing Lu Qing right before him, the middle-aged man, his hands crippled, abandoned all other moves. Instead, he ducked, using his shoulders as a cone, and charged at Lu Qing!

This charge, delivered with unwavering determination, was a powerful and powerful one.

The air in front of him was compressed, and even before the collision, the raging currents had already caused Lu Qing’s form to become slightly unstable.

“Xiao Li!”

Feeling the force, Lu Qing’s face darkened, and he shouted softly.

He was already retreating at an even faster pace.

“Can you escape?”

The middle-aged man’s eyes were bloodshot, his inner secrets energized to the hilt. He stared at Lu Qing intently, determined to crush him to pieces.

However, just as his shoulder was about to make contact with Lu Qing, crushing him to death,

he felt a sharp pain in his heart.

All his strength, like a collapsing dam, rapidly evaporating.

As his strength was exhausted, the middle-aged man’s speed suddenly dropped sharply. He could only watch Lu Qing, who was so close to him, slowly moving away from him.

But he felt his entire body weaken, stumbling, even standing becoming difficult.

Clinging to the last shreds of a warrior’s dignity, the middle-aged man finally managed to hold himself back from falling.

He managed to stand, looking down at himself.

He discovered that a gaping hole had somehow ripped through his chest, piercing through his back.

His heart, inside, was completely gone.

Looking at the gaping hole in his chest, the middle-aged man smiled bitterly,

knowing he had no chance of survival.

Of the five internal organs, the heart is the most vital.

The heart controls the flow of Qi and blood, and is of paramount importance to any warrior.

Even a warrior at the Xiantian realm would be doomed to fail without a heart.

He was only at the Internal Organs realm, and with his heart removed, he was doomed.

He was still alive only because his advanced realm allowed him to barely control his Qi and blood, keeping him alive.

He couldn’t believe he’d survived the battle with the Silver Moon Guard, yet he’d perished in this small valley.

A sense of absurdity gripped the middle-aged man.

He looked at Lu Qing: “Boy, you win. But before I die, could you answer a few questions for me?”

Lu Qing stared at him silently, neither nodding nor shaking his head.

He still didn’t approach the middle-aged man, keeping his distance. The

middle-aged man took this as a tacit agreement and asked directly, “Are you one of those disciples from these mysterious places?”

Lu Qing’s heart skipped a beat, remembering the middle-aged man’s earlier change of attitude.

It seemed he had mistaken him for a descendant of some mysterious sect seeking to gain experience.

Lu Qing pondered this and finally shook his head: “No.”

Ma Gu was right beside him, knowing his origins intimately; there was no need for him to lie.

“It really isn’t,”

the middle-aged man’s eyes narrowed at the sight of Lu Qing shaking his head.

He didn’t think Lu Qing would lie to a dying man like him.

If he said it wasn’t, then it couldn’t be.

Thinking back to his previous fears and assumptions, the middle-aged man suddenly felt incredibly ridiculous.

He chuckled to himself and continued: “What exactly was that mysterious creature? Can we have it show itself?”

This time, Lu Qing shook his head without even a second thought.

Xiao Li is currently one of his biggest trump cards, and it is best to keep it secret.

He doesn’t want the enemy to see its true form.

Not even a dying enemy.

“I didn’t expect that I, Wang Qingshan, who has been dominating for half my life, would not even be worthy of looking at the opponent who defeated me before I died.”

The middle-aged strong man saw disappointment in Lu Qing’s eyes when he saw Lu Qing refused.

But he also knew that he was the fish and Lu Qing was the knife.

Even if Lu Qing refused, he had no way to do anything.

Forget it, we are all dying, why are we still obsessed with these things.

The middle-aged strong man shook his head, let go of this obsession, and his eyes fell on the corpse of the young man in leather armor not far away.

“Junior brother, I didn’t expect that you and I would both die in this small valley. It can be considered that we have lived up to the oath we swore when we became sworn brothers.”

After saying this, the middle-aged strong man dispersed the last bit of control over the qi and blood in his body.

The Qi and blood he had forcibly restrained with his powerful will suddenly surged out from the wounds on his chest and hands.

As his Qi and blood dissipated, the middle-aged man’s eyes gradually lost focus.

He finally collapsed to the ground, Qi and blood gushing out of him, staining the ground red.

Seeing the middle-aged man fall to the ground, Lu Qing remained calm.

He activated his supernatural power and looked over.

Soon, a white light flashed, and several notes emerged.

[Wang Qingshan: A disciple of the Tiancang Sect in the Northern Frontier, and the adopted son of the Xiantian Realm warrior Wang Cangyi. He has a domineering, protective, cruel, and murderous personality.]

[Cultivation: Minor Success in the Acquired Internal Organs Realm. Possessing explosive secrets that can temporarily double his combat power.]

[Due to Tong Canglang’s deliberate flattery, Wang Qingshan grew fond of him and treated him like a brother.]

[He died from severe injuries, his heart destroyed, his Qi and blood collapsing, and his will dissipating.]

Seeing the description on the last note, Lu Qing was finally convinced that the middle-aged man was truly dead, and he finally relaxed.

There was nothing he could do. His performance had been too astonishing. His heart had been destroyed, yet he

was still alive and conscious, even communicating with him.

He had been genuinely worried that he was faking his own death, hoping to strike him down.

Now, seeing that his supernatural powers had confirmed his death, Lu Qing relaxed his guard somewhat.

At the same time, a sigh of regret welled up in his heart.

He could tell that if he hadn’t voluntarily dispersed his Qi and blood at the last moment, he could have lived for a while longer.

Truly, a true Inner Consumption Realm expert, his vitality was truly formidable.

“Brother Lu Qing, is he dead?”

Ma Gu asked cautiously, seeing Lu Qing approaching to check on the middle-aged man.

“Dead,” Lu Qing nodded.

“Huh!”

Upon hearing Lu Qing’s words, Ma Gu could no longer hold on and collapsed to the ground, looking like he had survived a catastrophe.

The aura the middle-aged man had unleashed was terrifying.

Even though the attack wasn’t directed at him, Magu’s mind was still under immense pressure.

He finally relaxed his strained nerves after hearing that this supreme warrior had died.

After a moment of relief,

Magu looked at Lu Qing again, his gaze filled with disbelief.

He could never have imagined that since their separation, when he saw him again, Lu Qing had already reached the Muscle and Bones Realm.

And not just any Muscle and Bones Realm, but a monstrous Muscle and Bones Realm capable of easily slaying warriors of the same level and forcing back powerful Internal Organs Realm warriors with a single strike!

Thinking back to Lu Qing’s earlier displays of swordsmanship, Magu was still captivated.

He didn’t understand the meaning of the meticulous, combined strength and flexibility of swordsmanship the young man in leather armor and the middle-aged man had described.

But he could tell that Lu Qing’s swordsmanship had reached a level beyond his imagination.

And that mysterious creature, capable of piercing the void!

Although Magu had watched helplessly from the sidelines, he saw how the powerful Internal Organs Realm warrior was slain.

But from beginning to end, he still couldn’t clearly discern what that mysterious creature with tiny white claws was.

Even more terrifying, it seemed to be under Lu Qing’s command. How did he do that?

Magu looked at Lu Qing and felt that he had suddenly become unfamiliar, a mysterious aura surrounding him.

He recalled what the middle-aged man had said earlier, and a thought arose in his mind.

Could it be that Lu Qing was, as he had claimed, the heir of some mysterious sect?

No!

As soon as this thought arose, Magu quickly dismissed it.

He had long since thoroughly researched Lu Qing’s origins.

He was just a country boy living in Jiuli Village.

If he were truly the heir of some hidden sect, his parents wouldn’t have been murdered by a small faction like Kuaihuo Village.

Besides, what heir of a hidden sect would be so destitute that they couldn’t even get enough to eat?

Magu remembered how skinny Lu Qing looked when he first met him.

Therefore, Lu Qing’s origins were undeniable.

He was able to achieve his current strength entirely through his own practice.

However, thinking about it this way, Magu felt even more terrified.

Just by practicing on his own, he was able to possess the strength to easily kill people in the Muscle and Bone Realm in just a few months.

Just how formidable was the Lu Qing brothers’ cultivation talent?

Lu Qing had no idea how many thoughts were swirling within Ma Gu.

After confirming the middle-aged man’s death, he searched his body for a moment, then checked on the young man in leather armor.

Soon, he had some results.

After searching the body, Lu Qing retrieved a backpack from beneath a large rock near the waterfall, stuffed his finds into it, and walked towards Ma Gu.

“Master Ma, we can’t stay here any longer. Let’s get going.”

“Yes, let’s go!” Ma Gu jolted awake.

The commotion the middle-aged man had made earlier was quite significant.

Who knew if he would attract more enemies?

He knew, however, that many warriors were hunting Madam Wei and her companions that day.

The two of them immediately retreated, not even having time to bury the bodies of the two middle-aged men.

In this deep mountain, wild beasts abounded. Even if left alone, they would be completely wiped out in two days.

After all, they were enemies, and Lu Qing and his companions wouldn’t put themselves in danger just for two dead enemy corpses.

The two were quite familiar with the forest.

Lu Qing was especially familiar with it because he had been coming here frequently to practice and collect herbs.

Soon, they moved to a hidden cave.

“Master Ma, you seem to be seriously injured. Let me treat you first.”

When they arrived at the cave, Lu Qing took out a box from his backpack and took out a needle bag from it.

“Then I’ll trouble you, Brother Lu Qing.”

Ma Gu also felt the pain in his shoulder at this time.

He was pierced through the shoulder by the young man in leather armor with a sharp arrow using a hidden weapon technique. The injury was not light.

Lu Qing was the direct disciple of Doctor Chen, so he naturally believed in his medical skills.

Lu Qing first used silver needles to relieve Ma Gu’s pain, and then cleaned the dirt from the wound before applying gold medicine to him.

After Ma Gu’s injury was healed, the two had time to chat.

“Brother Lu Qing, why are you here?”
