Chapter 423

Chapter 423: Completely crushing, the sword technique that cuts through the rules of heaven and earth!

The gray-robed man was horrified by Lu Qing’s unleashing of Daoist magic.

That massive palm of magical power was all too familiar to him.

It was his junior’s most renowned and profoundly cultivated skill, the Myriad Dharma Palm!

His junior had painstakingly cultivated this Myriad Dharma Palm for a hundred years, yet it was suddenly being wielded by a stranger in the Jindan realm. How could the gray

-robed man not be horrified? But despite his shock, the situation didn’t allow him to

dwell on it. Lu Qing’s Myriad Dharma Palm was incredibly fast, reaching the gray-robed man in the blink of an eye.

The powerful, repressive force suffocated him, making his movements difficult.

“How could it be so strong?”

Feeling the might of the Myriad Dharma Palm, the gray-robed man was even more shocked.

Lu Qing’s Myriad Dharma Palm was far more powerful than his junior’s.

Even he, having just achieved a breakthrough, felt a sense of overwhelming pressure.

His intuition told him that this palm was unstoppable!

With his mind focused, the gray-robed youth, oblivious to all else, flashed a silver light, instantly dispelling the repressive force.

Then, his body, as sleek as a swimming fish, he dodged in the nick of time, leaving Lu Qing’s Myriad Laws Palm empty.

“Hmm?”

Lu Qing raised an eyebrow.

He sensed the gray-robed man’s agility was quite profound, his movements subtly swaying the surrounding laws.

More importantly, the silver light surrounding him was also quite strange.

The Myriad Laws Palm’s repressive force, imbued with it, gave it a surprisingly slippery feel.

This was precisely why he was able to escape so easily.

“Sure enough, a spell I’ve only just comprehended isn’t very effective.”

Although somewhat surprised, Lu Qing wasn’t disappointed. With a casual wave of his hand, he dissipated the Myriad Laws Palm he had just condensed.

Just this moment had already stunned everyone,

especially Lin Zhirui and the others watching from below, who were practically staring out of their seats.

Because they all saw that the giant palm Lu Qing unleashed was identical to the one the white-robed youth had unleashed not long ago!

Crucially, they saw the gray-robed man flee in panic under Lu Qing’s attack!

“Could it be that Young Master Lu has made a significant breakthrough in his cultivation these days?”

the thought flashed through everyone’s mind.

“Who are you, and how do you also know the Myriad Dharma Palm?”

the gray-robed man asked, staring intently at Lu Qing.

His tone was filled with unconcealed shock.

The sight of his junior brother’s unique skill being used by his murderer shocked the gray-robed man, and it fueled a wave of negative associations.

“What’s the point of asking these questions now?”

Lu Qing shook his head, unwilling to engage in further conversation.

The sword appeared in his hand, a sharp ray of light flickering across the blade.

The Myriad Dharma Palm he had just used was merely a trial run, a test of the techniques he’d learned after breaking through the Golden Core Realm.

Now, knowing the other party’s skills were also extraordinary, he was ready to go all in!

“A sword? Isn’t this kid a cultivator?”

The gray-robed man was slightly startled when he saw the sword suddenly appear in Lu Qing’s hand.

But before he could recover, a premonition suddenly struck him, and a murderous intent so strong that it almost chilled him to the bone.

Without thinking, the gray-robed man instinctively dodged to the side.

However, as he moved, he felt a pain in his body, and one of his arms flew through the air.

“Oh? Your intuition is quite sharp. You actually managed to dodge my sword.”

Lu Qing’s figure appeared behind the gray-robed man, somewhat surprised.

“What?!”

The gray-robed man turned around suddenly, clutching his broken right arm, and looked at Lu Qing in horror.

Lu Qing’s speed was too terrifying. Even with the spiritual strength of his newly broken Jindan fourth level, he couldn’t react.

And the sword light was also terrifyingly strong!

The multiple layers of defensive Taoist magic and the protective silver light of his defensive magic weapon were unable to block it at all, and it was cut through in an instant.

“Physical cultivation! You’re actually practicing both physical and magical cultivation!

Boy, who are you?! A native of this world can’t be so powerful!

Could it be that you, too, have descended from the outside world?”

The gray-robed man stared at Lu Qing, whom he still couldn’t fathom, and a guess flashed through his mind.

This world had only recently revived; it was impossible for someone as formidable as Lu Qing to emerge.

The only possibility was that Lu Qing, like him, had descended from the outside world.

“Powerful?” Lu Qing said calmly. “You’re just too weak. A mere fourth-level Golden Core, and you think you’re invincible in this small world?

Intruder, you luckily dodged this strike.

But you won’t be so lucky with the next one.

I will cleave your body, along with your magical Golden Core, in two.”

“Not good!”

The gray-robed man, hearing Lu Qing’s words, felt an indescribable fear.

Intensified by this fear, the silver light radiating from his body intensified, and he retreated desperately.

In an instant, his speed increased several times over.

At the same time, his mind raced, and numerous spells emerged, bombarding Lu Qing with indiscriminate force, blocking his path. He

was retreating without a fight, attempting to escape.

“Escape?”

Lu Qing remained unfazed by the gray-robed man’s flight, his expression unfazed.

He raised his sword and swung it down.

Instantly, a powerful flash of light erupted, slashing forward at breakneck speed.

Wherever the blade’s light passed, the very laws of heaven and earth trembled, cleaving everything.

The gray-robed man’s spells were instantly shredded like paper, dispersing into the energy of heaven and earth.

After shredding the numerous spells, the blade’s power remained undiminished, continuing

its slash towards the gray-robed man, who had already fled several miles. Just as he was about to sever him in two, a tattered silver flying boat suddenly appeared behind him.

Boom!

The blade’s light struck the silver flying boat, unleashing a powerful surge of energy, generating a violent shockwave centered on the gray-robed man’s position.

Several nearby peaks instantly shattered, sending countless rocks and debris scattering through the sky.

“Puff!”

Although the silver flying boat wasn’t severed by Lu Qing,

it was still shattered by Lu Qing’s terrifying strike, sending it tumbling and flying.

The reverberating blade light and penetrating power even shattered the gray-robed man’s mind, which remained within the boat.

With his soul damaged, he couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

“Oh no!”

The gray-robed man watched the silver flying boat being slashed away, filled with shock and anxiety.

He was horrified by the sheer force of Lu Qing’s strike. If it weren’t for the Void Boat’s resistance, he would have been completely destroyed. He was

anxious because the Void Boat had been slashed, preventing him from entering immediately.

With no other choice, the gray-robed man immediately unleashed his skills, desperately flying towards it.

Meanwhile, the mind remaining within the Void Boat desperately urged it to approach him. At

this moment, he was filled with deep regret.

He had tried every method to fully refine the Void Boat and absorb it into his body, but to no avail. As a

result, the Void Boat, in his hands, could only be used as an ordinary magical weapon.

Otherwise, how could he be in such a state of disarray today?

“Hmm?”

Lu Qing’s heart trembled as he watched the gray-robed man approach the desperate silver flying boat.

The shadow of a massive, ancient cauldron emerged from behind him.

“Suppress!”

With this cry, everything within a ten-mile radius was suppressed.

The stream of light transformed by the gray-robed man instantly slowed to a crawl.

“A sealing spiritual weapon?!”

The gray-robed man felt the powerful sealing force upon him, and his silver light flickered desperately, attempting to re-use his old method to dispel the force.

However, the sealing power of the Lihuo Cauldron was far stronger than Lu Qing’s earlier Myriad Laws Palm.

No matter how hard the gray-robed man tried to mobilize his silver light, it couldn’t be shaken.

Fortunately, the surface of the Void Boat was flowing with silver light, constantly counteracting the sealing force.

Although its speed had slowed down somewhat, it was still able to move.

The gray-robed man immediately used his mind to urge it towards him at a rapid speed.

As long as he could enter the Void Boat, there was still hope.

The gray-robed man had already decided that, once he had escaped this time, he would immediately leave this small world.

The young man behind him was truly terrifying.

The sword flash just now was even more terrifying than the sword light unleashed by Jian Yi, the top-grade Jindan disciple of the Tiandao League that day!

He had no doubt that if he lingered here any longer, he would truly perish.

Thinking of the Pure Lotus in his hand and the newly refined and mid-grade Mana Jindan,

an extremely powerful determination emerged within the gray-robed man.

His luck had just improved, and the path to immortality lay before him. He could not fail here, no matter what!

Driven by the strong desire to survive, the gray-robed man’s mind seemed to undergo a transformation.

Its speed increased dramatically, causing the Void Boat, which was already approaching him, to accelerate even faster, reaching directly in front of him.

“My mind and will have broken through?”

The gray-robed man was overjoyed and was about to enter the Void Boat.

However, just as his foot was about to step onto the Void Boat, an invisible wave of energy descended upon him.

The gray-robed man’s body stiffened, and endless illusions suddenly appeared before his eyes.

“Is this… an illusion?!”

With only this thought in his mind, the gray-robed man’s mind completely sank, unable to regain consciousness.
