Chapter 189

Chapter 189: Kill them all, change of mentality

Facing the assault from the Seven Killings Tower, Lu Qing remained calm.

Just as the attack was about to strike, his aura suddenly erupted.

His body spun like a top.

His hands launched with lightning speed.

In an instant, a sea of fist shadows appeared, like a blooming black lotus.

The powerful Seven Killings Tower assassins, without exception, were all struck in the chest by Lu Qing’s punches.

With the sound of bones cracking, they were all sent flying backwards, blood spurting from their mouths and spilling onto the ground.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

With a series of noises, the figures attacking Lu Qing were smashed through the walls, doors, and windows behind them, falling to the ground, lifeless, their lives unknown.

“How is this possible?!” The Zheng family guards

watched the man in brocade robes and the powerful figures being instantly sent flying by the man in black.

Disbelief filled their eyes.

The aura exuded by these figures was no less impressive than his, all possessing cultivation at the Inner Viscera Realm.

Even the leader of Yuanyang Village was a martial arts master who had reached the great perfection of the Inner Viscera Realm.

Yet, even the combined attack of these masters was completely incapable of defeating the black-clad man, and they were all defeated with a single blow.

Four men launched a surprise attack, but the result was three dead and one seriously injured.

Such strength was simply terrifying!

“Who the hell are you?”

The man in brocade slammed into the wall behind him, spitting out blood, his face filled with horror.

He looked at Lu Qing with a look of disbelief.

Just now, this man, with his bare hands, had easily neutralized their long-prepared killing moves

and, with a single blow, had defeated them all.

Four men attacked, yet he was the only one left alive.

His boxing skills were simply unbelievable.

Even the boxing masters he had encountered before seemed to possess techniques as exquisite and terrifying as his.

“I told you to kill your people.”

Lu Qing looked at the man in brocade clothes, his chest shattered by the force of his punch, and saw the dark golden soft armor beneath.

“It seems this soft armor saved your life.”

The man paused.

Indeed, if it weren’t for this soft armor, which he never took off, he would have likely died like the old friends beside him.

Even so, he was still seriously injured.

Of his full strength, only 20% or 30% remained.

The punch of the mysterious black-clad man before him was too terrifying.

Even with the soft armor protecting him, it still severely damaged his heart meridians, scattering all his martial energy and blood, making it difficult for him to reunite.

More importantly, until now, he still hadn’t seen through Lu Qing’s cultivation level.

The man was like standing in a thick fog, even with his energy and blood bursting out, he still managed to perfectly conceal his realm.

Could this be a veteran of the Xiantian realm, but he was still mobilizing the power of Qi and blood, not Xiantian Zhenqi?

For a moment, the man in brocade clothes was in a state of confusion, with all kinds of thoughts turning around, but

he couldn’t sort them out. But there was one thing he understood very well.

That is, today, he was in real trouble.

The man in black in front of him was obviously coming for their Seven Killings Tower.

Although he couldn’t believe that there was someone in the world who dared to take the initiative to provoke their Seven Killings Tower.

But now that the facts were in front of him, he couldn’t help but believe it.

Seeing that the man in brocade clothes was not dead, Lu Qing flipped his hand and took out a fist-sized stone from somewhere, and weighed it gently.

The man in brocade clothes suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

He had already witnessed Lu Qing’s hidden weapon skills, so how could he dare to neglect it?

He hurriedly said, “Sir, is there any misunderstanding here? This village is not the Seven Killings Tower you speak of. I am merely a businessman, and have nothing to do with the Seven Killings Tower you speak of. If you want money, I would gladly offer all the wealth in this village to you…”

Before the man in brocade clothes could finish his words, Lu Qing’s stone flew out.

Driven by its overwhelming force, the stone’s speed reached extreme speeds. The man’s heart meridians were damaged, his Qi and blood were depleted, and his strength was severely weakened, leaving him no time to dodge.

Bang!

The stone impacted the man’s head with incredible precision.

Even the skull of a martial artist at the Great Perfection of the Internal Organs Realm was as strong as an egg before the terrifying force of the stone.

It shattered instantly, and red and white objects scattered across the ground. A truly horrific sight.

The man in brocade clothes, dead!

“Ah!”

Zheng Er, standing nearby, had never seen such a terrifying sight before, and screamed in fear.

“Not good!”

The Zheng family guard holding the shield was horrified and was about to cover the young master’s mouth.

But it was too late.

Lu Qing’s eyes were already looking in their direction.

“Sir, we are from the Zheng family of the prefecture. We are only here for fun and have nothing to do with these people. Please understand,”

the Zheng family guard said stubbornly.

As for the second young master, he was already trembling and pale at the sight of Lu Qing.

At that moment, he knew full well that the man before him was a true killer, unlike any warrior he had ever encountered.

Seeing Lu Qing’s silence, the Zheng family guards felt a surge of anxiety.

While the Zheng family was immensely powerful, a prominent force throughout the prefecture.

Even the major sects that dominated Cangzhou would show some respect.

But facing such a bloodthirsty, unscrupulous, and ruthless individual, he wasn’t sure they would concede.

“Zheng family? So what?” Lu Qing’s voice rasped, a sinister smile emanating. “Let alone the small Zheng family, even a member of the Yan family in Wangdu would die if they offended me!”

“Not good! Young Master, flee!”

The guard sensed something was amiss from Lu Qing’s first words, and when he mentioned the word “death,” he made his decision without hesitation.

He suddenly pushed the Second Young Master Zheng backwards with a gentle thrust.

At the same time, his right hand swept across his waist, drawing a short blade.

He then grasped his shield, using his left shoulder as a fulcrum, and, combining man and shield, he charged at Lu Qing with uncanny ferocity. He

hoped to force Lu Qing aside, giving his young master a chance to escape.

However, his plan was too optimistic.

Facing the powerful, battering ram-like impact of the shield, Lu Qing neither dodged nor shied away. With his five fingers spread wide, he slashed his palm in a circular arc, striking the shield with the force of a mountain.

Boom!

Crushing under the overwhelming force, the thick, forged steel of fine steel shattered into pieces. The Zheng family guards hiding behind it vomited blood, their bones broken.

How could he be so powerful?!

With a single blow, they were practically crippled. The Zheng family guards sat dejectedly on the ground, their faces filled with despair.

Lu Qing’s power far exceeded his imagination. Even the martial arts masters within the palace couldn’t match such a despairing pressure!

Who was this mysterious figure? When had such a formidable martial arts master appeared in Cangzhou?

“Your loyalty is commendable, but the person you’re supposed to protect is a scumbag,”

Lu Qing said, shaking his head as he looked at the seriously injured guard.

Without stopping, he passed the guard and headed towards the second son of the Zheng family, who was so frightened that his legs were weak that he couldn’t even run.

“No, don’t kill me, please, don’t kill me! If you kill me, my Zheng family will never let you go. My father will never let you go!”

Seeing Lu Qing approach, the already terrified Second Young Master Zheng cried out frantically.

“Sir, we truly have nothing to do with this village. Please, for the Zheng family’s sake, spare our young master. We swear that when we return, we won’t reveal a single word of what happened today!”

The Zheng family guard spoke with difficulty, enduring the pain.

“Do you think I’m killing this scum to silence him?”

Lu Qing stopped and turned back, wondering.

The Zheng family guard paused, unable to conceive of any other motive.

“As expected of a member of a wealthy family, he regards human life as worthless. To tell you the truth, I want to kill him for no other reason than to seek justice for the girls he raped and killed.”

The guard’s eyes suddenly widened, as if a thought had finally dawned on him.

But the next moment, he saw a stone fly from Lu Qing’s hand.

Then, like a rotten watermelon, his young master’s head exploded completely.

“Young Master!”

the Zheng family guard cried out in agony.

“I was originally going to spare your life, but what you just said has enlightened me.”

After casually beating the Second Young Master Zheng to death, Lu Qing turned around.

“Were you there when that scum abused and murdered those girls?” “

Your Excellency is murdering our Young Master because of those prostitutes?” the Zheng family guard asked, stunned.

“Indeed, isn’t that reason enough?”

The Zheng family guard remained silent.

He wanted to say, ‘Not enough, of course not!

‘ Those lowly people, of lowly status, even a thousand, ten thousand combined, wouldn’t be as noble as their Young Master!

But he also knew that since Lu Qing asked this question, it was clear that he considered this reason sufficient.

So he could only remain silent.

However, even though he remained silent, Lu Qing could tell from his expression that he was the answer he was looking for.

He sneered, “It seems as I thought. In that case, you should go down and accompany your Young Master.”

With a crackling sound, another stone was launched by Lu Qing, striking the guard’s head.

Puff!

With a muffled thud, a bloody hole appeared between the Zheng family guard’s eyebrows. His entire body trembled, his vision gradually blurred, and he fell heavily to the ground, his life force fading.

After dispatching the guard, Lu Qing didn’t pause, but slowly made his way back to the building.

Passing by the corpse of a Neigu Realm assassin who had ambushed him, he suddenly struck out, striking its temple with a kick.

The supposedly dead body suddenly opened its eyes

, their eyes filled with disbelief, as if unable to believe that Lu Qing had so easily seen through its disguise.

Lu Qing, however, remained composed.

Though the assassin’s technique of feigning death with a tortoise’s breath had been mastered to great depths

, it was clearly visible to his spiritual senses, not to mention his supernatural powers.

Even an Innate Realm cultivator couldn’t conceal his presence, let alone a mere Neigu Realm cultivator.

After dispatching the feigning death, Lu Qing slowly made his way back to the building.

He had slain every Neigu Realm warrior in the village.

But he still intended to spare the remaining members of the Seven Killings Tower.

The slaughter continued.

A quarter of an hour later, when Lu Qing left Yuanyang Village,

the village was already littered with corpses.

His spiritual sense had located all the remaining assassins from the Seven Killings Tower and slew them all. He

also slaughtered those who had come to enjoy themselves, if he found them guilty of heinous crimes.

He even found a treasure trove and plundered it with great delight.

Having done all this, Lu Qing left without hesitation.

As for the remaining people in the village, such as the prostitutes, if they were not foolish, they would have escaped on their own.

Lu Qing had already helped them by helping them break open the demonic den.

As for the rest, it was up to their own luck.

“Sure enough, my heart has become quite hardened after all.”

From the hillside, watching the panicked crowd fleeing the village, Lu Qing let out a self-deprecating look.

If he had just arrived in this world, seeing those pitiful women, he would probably have tried to find them a place to stay.

Just like he had done back in Happy Village.

But now, looking at the panicked crowd below, his heart calmed down.

He knew that such things happened too often in this world.

The world was like this, what could he, alone, do to change it?

“Ultimately, it’s because my power is too limited.”

“Only those with little power would hesitate and consider everything before they act.”

“If I had the power to rule the world alone, I could do whatever I wanted, follow my heart, and not worry about anyone’s opinion.”

Lu Qing looked up at the starry sky above.

The next moment, his figure had disappeared.

A few minutes later, Lu Qing stopped in a valley.

“As expected, without the Earth Talisman’s blessing, traveling requires much more energy.”

Lu Qing’s mind was absorbed in the space between his eyebrows.

The yellow light representing the Earth Talisman had vanished.

Just now, after traveling over two hundred miles, Lu Qing had completely exhausted the power of his Earth Talisman.

Without the talisman’s blessing, his body felt heavy again, and he could no longer travel with the same agility and speed.

“It’s easy to go from frugality to luxury, but difficult to return to frugality,” Lu Qing sighed.

Accustomed to the lightness and speed of the Earth Talisman’s power, he found the slow pace of his own footwork rather unaccustomed. He

looked around and found a large, dry rock, where he sat cross-legged.

After a moment of concentrating his mind, he formed a seal with his hands and began to condense the talisman.

Having successfully condensed the Earth Talisman once before, Lu Qing took even less time this time, successfully completing it in less than a quarter of an hour.

With a slight movement of his incantation, he stored the Earth Talisman in the space between his eyebrows.

Watching the Earth Talisman transform into a ball of light once again, Lu Qing smiled with satisfaction.

In fact, it was not that he did not want to condense a few more earth talismans in case of emergency.

But with the current strength of his soul, the soul talismans were limited.

It could only accommodate a maximum of five talismans at a time, and only one talisman of the same attribute.

If there were more, it would be beyond his power.

If he wanted to store and control more talismans, it would be possible only if his soul power had another breakthrough.

Feeling the ball of light in the acupoint, Lu Qing’s mind moved slightly, and the strange power reappeared, making his body lighter.

He smiled slightly, put force on his feet, and ran towards home again.
