Chapter 278

Chapter 278: Break the formation violently and crush to death!

Not only were the crowd at the foot of the mountain stunned, but the beauties competing atop the Heavenly Stairs were even more incredulous.

“Fairy Li, did you see what that person looked like?”

“Looks like a teenager.”

“How could a teenager climb the Heavenly Stairs so easily?”

“Is it some old freak who likes to act young?”

“Even if he’s an old freak, he shouldn’t treat the Heavenly Stairs like nothing.”

“Is this another peerless genius from some secret place?”

…

Just as everyone was speculating about Lu Qing’s identity, Lu Qing had already left the Heavenly Stairs and reached the other side of the Holy Mountain.

Lin Zhirui had previously told him the approximate location of the Holy Pond.

According to the Tianji Tower Master, Master had just left the Holy Pond when he was encountered by the people from Xuankong Mountain, which meant they were probably not far from the Holy Pond.

“You old bald man from Xuankong Mountain, if anything happens to Master, I’ll take your entire Xuankong Mountain Secret Realm with you!”

Lu Qing’s eyes were filled with coldness, and a faint yellow glow shone from his body as he moved swiftly across the Holy Mountain.

The oppressive force of the Holy Mountain seemed to have no effect on him.

“My guess was correct. The so-called pressure atop this sacred mountain is actually the magnetic force of the earth’s veins.

To others, the mountain’s pressure is a burden, but to me, possessing the Earth Spirit Pearl, it’s a boon!”

Lu Qing had already suspected the so-called suppressive force when Lin Zhirui had first described the sacred mountain.

Climbing the mountain himself had confirmed his suspicions.

This gave him even greater confidence in rescuing his master.

“Hmm?”

Just as Lu Qing was pondering this, a sudden movement from the front caught his attention.

More importantly, he sensed his master’s presence.

At the same time, an anxious voice reached his ears.

“Masters, please show mercy. This Elder Chen is a distinguished guest of our Tianji Tower. Don’t let him get away.”

“It’s Lord Zhirui!”

Lu Qing’s gaze fixed, knowing he had finally arrived.

A flash of light flashed, and his speed increased by another threefold. He quickly passed through the woods and arrived at a spacious open space.

The open space was paved with stones

. Seven bald monks in red robes sat cross-legged on the ground in a strange formation.

Many people were watching nearby.

Besides the other bald monks, there were also some powerful figures, including the disciples from the Yunshui Secret Realm whom Lu Qing had met two days ago.

In the center of the formation surrounded by the seven bald monks, a golden bowl emitting a yellow glow hovered in mid-air.

Beneath the bowl, a figure in plain clothes sat cross-legged with eyes closed, his face flushed and his body trembling. Who else could it be but the old doctor?

“Master!”

This scene filled Lu Qing with rage.

He could see that his master was nearing his limit.

In his rage, Lu Qing didn’t even think twice, not even having time to use his supernatural powers to search for information. He

simply pulled a bow and arrow from his Qiankun Yiqi bag and drew it like a full moon.

The next moment, a fierce whistling sound echoed as seven sharp arrows pierced the air, splitting into seven directions and blasting towards the heads of the seven bald monks.

After unleashing his arrows with the technique of seven stars in a row, Lu Qing sheathed his bow without hesitation.

Immediately, a long sword appeared in his hand, and he charged forward at full speed.

Ding, ding, ding…

Everything happened in a flash.

The arrows fired from Lu Qing’s precious bow were even more swift.

In the blink of an eye, they reached the heads of the monks. Just

as the monks were about to be pierced by the arrows, a golden light curtain quietly illuminated, blocking the arrows.

As if striking iron, Lu Qing’s seven long arrows were blocked by the golden light.

Although the golden light rippled, the seven long arrows were also firmly blocked, unable to advance an inch.

“Who is this?”

This sudden change caught everyone present by surprise.

The other monks on guard were even more shocked. They had never imagined that someone would dare to attack the elders.

It was at this moment that everyone noticed Lu Qing.

There was no way. The momentum Lu Qing unleashed was simply too astonishing.

Even a blind person could sense the terrifying aura he exuded.

“Young Master Lu?!”

Lin Zhirui was shocked when he saw the incoming figure.

“Stop!”

On the other side, after spotting Lu Qing, several young monks immediately jumped out to block him.

“Anyone who stands in my way will die!”

Seeing someone dare to stop him, and he was also a monk, Lu Qing was furious. He clenched his sword, piercing the air and slashing forward.

This strike was a blow made by Lu Qing in anger. As soon as the sword was released, the violent killing intent spread all around.

All those who felt this murderous intent, even those who were strong in the Xiantian realm, could not help but freeze in their minds, not to mention the young monks who were still in the Xiantian realm.

Their minds went blank when they were overwhelmed by Lu Qing’s murderous intent.

Lu Qing’s eyes were cold, and he didn’t hesitate to strike with his sword. With one sweep, he was about to kill all the young monks in front of him.

“Amitabha, benefactor, please show mercy.”

Just as Lu Qing’s long sword was about to sever the young monks in two,

a resounding Buddhist chant rang out. The protective golden light that had previously surrounded the seven elder monks suddenly expanded, enveloping them within it.

Clang!

Lu Qing’s long sword slashed through the golden light without reservation.

His strike was far more powerful than the seven long arrows he had launched earlier.

Despite its strength, the protective golden light was no match for Lu Qing’s power.

It trembled violently, showing signs of disintegration.

“Hmm?”

The elder monk in charge of the formation, seeing the golden light showing signs of disintegration, opened his eyes slightly. A powerful mental force surged out, pouring into the golden bowl. The golden light,

which had been on the verge of being shattered by Lu Qing, suddenly showed signs of stabilizing.

“Did you ask me before you wanted to stabilize the formation?”

Lu Qing planted his long sword in the grass nearby and reached into his chest. When he emerged, he was already wearing a pair of fine steel gloves.

Roar!

The next moment, a tremendous roar erupted from Lu Qing, as if an ancient tiger had awakened within him.

With a heart-shaking roar, Lu Qing twisted his waist and struck out, unleashing a powerful punch.

With this punch, the air currents surrounding Lu Qing exploded, erupting into layers of white mist. The

golden light of the formation finally gave way, shattering under Lu Qing’s blow amidst the violent tremors!

“Not good!”

The seven great monks maintaining the formation gasped in shock, unaware that Lu Qing could shatter the golden light of the Vajra Demon Subduing Formation with his bare hands.

Their minds surged, attempting to activate the golden bowl again, but it was too late. As

the golden light shattered, the old doctor, who had been grimacing at the center of the formation, suddenly cleared his expression and regained his composure.

“Not good! Retreat!”

As the old doctor’s eyes opened, a foreboding feeling seized the monks. They immediately retreated, not even caring about the golden bowl.

The next moment, countless sword energies emanated from the void surrounding the old doctor, forming a storm of sword energy that spread outward, instantly engulfing the area where the seven monks had been sitting.

The sword energy raged for over ten breaths before gradually fading.

When the energy dissipated, revealing the old doctor, everyone gasped.

The area surrounding the old doctor, several feet in radius, except for the spot where he sat, was completely chopped to pieces by the sword energy.

Countless sword marks and a thick layer of stone dust covered the entire ground.

It was conceivable that if the monks had not retreated, they would have been crushed by the sword energy, leaving no trace.

“Sword Qi Domain! Someone can actually cultivate such an innate realm?”

Those with more experience couldn’t help but exclaim in astonishment.

“Master, are you alright?”

Lu Qing was still relatively far away from the old doctor, unaffected by the sword energy.

Seeing his master still unleash such a stunning storm of sword energy, he felt relieved and asked.

Everyone turned to look, stunned again.

Lu Qing was clutching a young monk by the neck.

He had taken advantage of the seven monks dodging his master’s sword energy to preemptively seize one of them.

“Hui Xin!” Several monks exclaimed in shock at this scene.

“How dare you! Put Hui Xin down!”

An opposing monk saw the young monk in Lu Qing’s grasp, his face flushed and his breath choking from the force. Furious, he was about to attack Lu Qing,

but a sharp sword energy swept past him, forcing him to halt.

Turning around, he saw the old doctor’s eyes had opened, their gaze clear.

“Masters, this is truly unmannerly. You openly claimed to be discussing medical techniques, yet secretly you used a rare treasure to attack and stun my spirit. I wonder what explanation you plan to give me for this?”

The old doctor recalled the previous incident, still feeling a wave of fear.

Just now, his mind had been fixed by the strange golden bowl, making him almost unable to sense the outside world. He

only felt that he was in a golden space, surrounded by Buddhist chants, hypnotizing his mind and trying to convert him

. Fortunately, his mind was strong and his will was firm, otherwise he would have become a completely different person by now.

The thought of this made the old doctor’s eyes cold.

Even with his good temper, he couldn’t help but feel furious.

As a doctor, he knew the terrifying power of a person who lost their sense of self.

He had treated patients with hysteria before, and such patients were truly pitiful and pathetic.

How could the old doctor not feel anger at the thought of himself almost becoming like that?

“Master, why bother talking to them? Just kill them all!”

Lu Qing’s gaze swept over the seven monks, silently reading the messages that floated out.

His murderous intent grew stronger.

He discovered that the viciousness of these bald monks seemed to exceed his imagination.

“Master, save me!”

At this moment, the young monk, still held in Lu Qing’s hand, suddenly spoke with difficulty.

“Amitabha, this donor, please be compassionate and let go of your wisdom,”

said the leading monk, clasping his hands together.

“Boy, put down the person you’re holding immediately, or I’ll kill you!”

another monk shouted sternly.

“Really?”

Lu Qing chuckled, then twisted his hand slightly.

With a snap, the young monk’s neck twisted into a strange angle. He twitched in Lu Qing’s grip, his life force slowly fading.
