Chapter 206

Chapter 206: Unintentional and deliberate, worship the innate again! Shock!

When the eyes of several Xiantian Realm warriors fell on Lu Qing, their expressions were shocked again.

Because from Lu Qing, they could not sense the Xiantian meaning unique to the Xiantian Realm.

What does this mean?

It means that Lu Qing is not yet a Xiantian Realm warrior!

He is not a Xiantian Realm warrior, but he can kill the old woman of the Zheng family so easily.

For a moment, several Xiantian Realm warriors were shocked and became extremely wary of Lu Qing.

Facing the gazes of four Xiantian Realm powerhouses, Lu Qing’s expression remained calm.

However, he had already activated his supernatural powers and calmly checked the information and origins of the people opposite him.

Seeing that Lu Qing did not speak, but just looked at them quietly without any fear, the fear in the hearts of several Xiantian Realm powerhouses deepened.

After a long silence, the old man with white hair and a youthful face spoke solemnly,

“Young friend, I’m not sure how to address you. What grudge do you have against this old lady from the Zheng family that you tortured her to death?”

“Oh, do you have to have a grudge to kill her? Couldn’t you just see something unfair and dislike her, so you just killed her?”

By this time, Lu Qing had already gathered information on the several Xiantian Realm cultivators on the other side.

He even paused a moment longer on the elegant old man.

Upon hearing the old man’s words, he spoke calmly.

“You!” The elegant old man’s eyes suddenly glared, his aura emitting a faint burst of energy. “If you dislike her, you could have just taught her a lesson. Why did you do such a cruel thing to her?”

“Such a vicious woman, what’s the point of keeping her around? Old man, you must know how vicious this old woman is, right?”

Although the information he had gathered indicated that the elegant old man was not a particularly evil person, Lu Qing still had no good impression of him.

A muddle-headed old bootlicker had attacked him without any reason. He was already considered good-tempered for having endured this long.

“This old woman, out of rage, is performing a human sacrifice on her deceased, scumbag grandson. Such a cruel act is condemned by heaven and earth. What’s wrong with me chopping her off?”

The elegant old man paused, but still defended himself. “It’s just a rumor. After all, the Zheng family hasn’t done anything wrong. To judge others based on something that hasn’t happened, isn’t it too arbitrary?” “

Old man, I think you’ve really been sucking up to this old woman!”

Seeing the elegant old man still trying to defend her, Lu Qing abandoned his politeness and scolded him.

“Given this old woman’s viciousness, can you guarantee she won’t perform such a human sacrifice?”

Being directly called out by Lu Qing as an old man, the elegant old man’s anger surged.

But Lu Qing’s next words made him hesitate.

He wanted to say no, but even he knew how hollow such a promise was.

Given the Zheng family’s old lady’s character, she might actually risk the wrath of the world in the end.

Seeing the elegant old man speechless, Lu Qing continued, “Furthermore, do you think this old woman has never performed human sacrifices before?”

The words trembled at the sight of several Xiantian Realm warriors.

The elegant old man, in particular, blurted out, “What did you say?”

The mayor of the provincial capital city said in a deep voice, “Young man, are you serious? Has this old lady of the Zheng family also performed human sacrifices before?”

“To know the answer, you can open the tomb of this old lady’s eldest son. There you will find everything you want to know,” Lu Qing sneered.

The tomb of the Zheng family’s eldest son.

Several Xiantian Realm warriors pondered that momentous event and the frantic look of the Zheng family’s old lady at the time.

Involuntarily, he believed Lu Qing’s words to a degree.

If the old woman of the Zheng family had been filled with the same grief and rage back then, she might have done something so outrageous that it would infuriate the heavens and the people.

“Alright, sir, let me make this clear. We’ll go back and investigate. If there are no signs of human sacrifice in the tomb of the eldest son of the Zheng family, don’t blame me for demanding justice from you,” the elegant old man said.

“Old man, what qualifications do you have to demand justice from me? Even if you’re seeking revenge on me, you should be a member of the Zheng family. Who are you?”

However, Lu Qing was unceremonious and directly mocked him.

“What’s more, we still have a score to settle.”

“What score do we have?” The elegant old man was stunned.

“Old man, you can’t be so forgetful, can you? You just attacked me by surprise, and you really think I’m so magnanimous that I’ll just ignore it?” Lu Qing said coldly.

“So what do you want to do?”

The elegant old man, irritated by Lu Qing’s constant calling him “old fellow,” said coldly.

“It’s simple. You attacked me with three sword energies earlier. My demands aren’t high. You just take one of my strikes. If you can survive, then we’re even.”

“Young man, you’re so confident.”

Hearing Lu Qing’s arrogant tone, the elegant old man laughed in anger.

“Although I don’t know how you defeated the old lady of the Zheng family, do you really think that we, the innate realm warriors, are made of mud?”

“Stop talking nonsense, do you dare to take it?”

“Okay, then I will take your sword, so what!”

Hearing the elegant old man agree, the old man with white hair and youthful face was suddenly shocked: “Brother Lin!”

“It doesn’t matter.” The elegant old man waved his hand, “It just so happens that I also want to see what kind of means this guy has. Even Yunmei is not his opponent.”

“Then Brother Lin, you’d better be careful.”

Seeing that his old friend even called out the word “Yunmei”, the old man with white hair and youthful face knew that he could not dissuade him.

They could only step aside with some worry.

As for the two city lords, they had even less objections.

Someone volunteered to test the strength of the mysterious young man in front of them. They were more than happy to do so, so how could they possibly stop him?

But at this moment, they looked at the elegant old man with a hint of amusement.

They didn’t expect that the Lin family ancestor still had that kind of friendship for the Zheng family old woman in his heart. The world is so big, there are really all kinds of strange things.

“Please make your move, sir.”

The elegant old man stood quietly, holding a long sword in his hand, and gestured calmly.

“Okay!”

Seeing this, Lu Qing did not hesitate at all.

A golden light flashed on his body, and a huge aura rose from him. The whole person was like a beast out of a cage, rushing towards the elegant old man.

Clang!

The long sword was unsheathed, and a bright blade light, carrying boundless murderous intent, slashed towards the elegant old man.

The sword force enveloped all directions, leaving people nowhere to escape.

This sword technique!

Feeling the might of Lu Qing’s strike, the elegant old man’s heart trembled violently, his eyelids twitching with terrifying murderous intent. He

had never imagined that Lu Qing’s immobility would be nothing, yet his movement would unleash such a terrifying killing move.

He could sense that Lu Qing’s strike was both powerful and simple, seemingly simple, yet possessing infinite variations.

For a moment, he could find no flaw in his

counterattack. The mysterious young man’s swordsmanship surpassed his own!

Though he couldn’t believe it, the elegant old man instantly made his own judgment.

He couldn’t break or dodge Lu Qing’s move.

The only thing he could do was take it head-on!

But if he did, he would likely die!

Faced with the imminent threat of death, the elegant old man lost his previous composure.

His eyes widened, his innate Qi surging at breakneck speed. In an instant, he had unleashed his explosive secret technique.

Then, he channeled all his innate Qi into the longsword in his hand and thrust it out with a fierce thrust, meeting Lu Qing’s blade.

Boom!

The swords collided, and the terrifying sword energy spread out in all directions, tearing the atmosphere and cutting everything around.

Fortunately, the spectators were all powerful Xiantian Realm warriors. Otherwise, if this clash had taken place in the bustling city, countless lives would have been lost in just this one clash.

In the fierce clash, the elegant old man’s face changed drastically, sensing the unparalleled force emanating from Lu Qing’s sword.

His sword, imbued with all his strength, couldn’t fully resist.

His arms trembled violently, his feet unable to maintain their balance. He retreated repeatedly, retreating dozens of steps before finally finding a way to stop himself by shoving his foot against a tree behind him.

He looked up, a trace of blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, and stared at Lu Qing in horror.

Clearly, he had sustained internal injuries from the clash with Lu Qing.

What?!

Seeing the elegant old man being repelled by Lu Qing’s sword, blood oozing from the corner of his mouth,

the other three Xiantian Realm masters were horrified, almost unable to believe their eyes.

After all, the elegant old man’s strength was among the top two among them.

His cultivation had reached the pinnacle of the Initial Xian Realm, a mere step away from the Minor Success of the Innate Realm. Even

so powerful, he was forced to unleash his explosive secret techniques by the mysterious young man, and was even repelled with a single blow.

How could they not be shocked?

Most importantly, until now, they hadn’t detected even a hint of the Innate Aura in Lu Qing.

They could clearly see that Lu Qing had only just unleashed the Qi and Blood of a Postnatal Warrior. He had,

with the physical strength of a Postnatal Warrior, single-handedly repelled a peak-Innate Realm warrior.

Who, exactly, was this mysterious young man?

The elderly men, with their white hair and youthful features, stared at Lu Qing in astonishment.

“Yes, you’re quite capable of surviving my blow, unlike this old woman who couldn’t even withstand a single blow from me.”

During this clash, Lu Qing also retreated,

though compared to the elegant old man’s discomfiture, his was much more relaxed. He

retreated only a few steps before regaining his composure.

Looking at the elegant old man with blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, he nodded approvingly and gave his evaluation.

“Puff!”

Hearing Lu Qing’s words that seemed to be commenting on a younger generation, the elegant old man could no longer hold back and spurted out a mouthful of blood.

“Brother Lin! Are you okay?”

The old man with white hair and a youthful face was startled and hurried forward, took out a pill and gave it to him to swallow.

“I’m fine, it’s just that my internal organs were a little injured, and my true energy is temporarily scattered. I will be fine after adjusting my breath for a while.”

The elegant old man whispered after taking the pill.

“It’s good that you’re okay.”

Hearing the words of his old friend, the old man with white hair and a youthful face felt relieved.

However, his fear of Lu Qing in his heart increased again.

Brother Lin’s strength is half a level stronger than his, but he was even disrupted by Lu Qing’s sword.

If it were him, would he be seriously injured directly?

“Since you’ve taken my blow, our score is settled. If you’re still dissatisfied and wish to avenge this old woman, I’m here to fight you. However, next time, you might not be as lucky as you are today.”

Seeing the elegant old man begin to heal his wounds, Lu Qing, with a calm expression, was about to leave.

“Sir, your cultivation is remarkable, and your swordsmanship is profound. We truly admire you. Could you please tell me your name?”

Seeing Lu Qing about to leave, the City Lord hurriedly asked.

“You, with your abilities, are not worthy of knowing my name.”

However, Lu Qing didn’t hesitate. With a few leaps, he vanished into the woods.

His speed and agility surpassed those of the Xiantian realm.

Yet, they still couldn’t sense any trace of his Xiantian aura.

Gazing at the direction Lu Qing disappeared, the Xiantian realm warriors remained silent for a long time.

Only after Lu Qing’s presence completely faded did the middle-aged man, his face as white as jade, suddenly ask,

“Tell me, is this a true Postnatal Realm cultivator, or just pretending?”

“Does it really matter?” the City Lord said. “He was able to injure Senior Lin with a single blow. His strength is no less than ours. Unless we join forces, we won’t be able to stop him. The question is, do you dare to stop him?”

The man, his face as white as jade, fell silent.

Indeed, if they had wanted to stop Lu Qing, it would have been possible with their combined strength.

But they didn’t dare.

There was nothing they could do. Lu Qing was simply too mysterious.

His strength was unfathomable.

He could defeat two Innate Realm masters with only the physical energy and blood of a Postnatal Realm cultivator—

it was simply unbelievable. Such a feat was unheard of, let alone witnessed. They had never even heard of it.

And they would never believe that such a formidable figure didn’t have a deep background.

After realizing this, the City Lord and his companions no longer wanted to offend Lu Qing.

If they drew the attention of his inner circle, who knew what terrifying force that might be.

Therefore, when Lu Qing wanted to leave, they didn’t dare to stop him.

“Sure enough, the rumors are true. The world is about to change, and evil will emerge. I didn’t expect that today we would encounter such an unparalleled evil.”

After a long silence, the middle-aged man with a face as white as jade suddenly sighed.

The remaining three people were moved when they heard this.

The white-jade man was talking about the rumors that had gradually spread throughout the world over the past two years.

It was said that the world was about to undergo a major upheaval, a period of drastic change. Geniuses and monsters would emerge, bringing chaos to the world.

They had initially been skeptical of these rumors.

But the mysterious young man they had met today told them that the rumors were quite possibly true.

“It seems this old woman is truly unlucky, having provoked such a terrifying monster,”

the jade-faced man remarked with a gloating smile.

If anyone present hated the Zheng family’s old woman the most, it was undoubtedly him.

Before he reached the Xiantian realm, he had been repeatedly oppressed by the Zheng family.

Now that the old woman was dead, his joy was palpable.

The others knew of his feud with the Zheng family, but aside from the elegant old man, who looked a little sad, the other two remained silent.

“Everyone, what should we do next?”

asked the old man with white hair and a youthful face.

“Of course, we should go to the Zheng family and open the tomb of the Zheng family’s eldest son to see if what the man just said is true,” said the city lord.

“But…”

The elegant old man was about to say something when he was interrupted by the city lord: “Senior Lin, don’t forget that human sacrifice is strictly prohibited by the Holy Mountain. If this old woman from the Zheng family really did this, I, as the city lord, must investigate the matter and punish her severely!”

The elegant old man opened his mouth, but finally closed it.

He knew that it was natural for the city lord to investigate this matter, and he had no reason to stop it.

But he also knew that if anything was really found out, the Zheng family would definitely be severely punished.

Thinking of the promise he made to that person back then, the elegant old man sighed in his heart, and for a moment he didn’t know what to do.
