Chapter 204

“This is impossible!”

The old woman of the Zheng family, holding her broken arm, looked at Lu Qing in disbelief.

At this moment, Lu Qing no longer had any trace of the fatigue and weakness she had before.

The powerful aura emanating from her body and the surging blood and energy oppressed her so much that even she, who was at the Xiantian realm, felt suffocated.

“Little beast, who are you?”

The old woman of the Zheng family could not help but shout.

The shock in her heart had overwhelmed the pain of the broken arm.

She knew that Lu Qing’s weakness before was just a pretense.

But she also found it difficult to understand why Lu Qing was so powerful. He

was obviously not at the Xiantian realm, but he could burst out with such terrifying power.

The knife just now came too fast, and she almost had no time to react.

If it were not for the soul instinct of a Xiantian realm warrior that allowed her to turn sideways at the last moment, I am afraid that now she would not just have a broken arm, but her whole body would be split in two.

Moreover, she had clearly seen Lu Qing unarmed and unarmed. So where did he get the long, terrifyingly sharp sword he now held?

Could it be that he had premeditated this, hiding his weapon behind a large rock, anticipating she would pursue him at this very moment?

If so, this little bastard’s scheming was truly terrifying!

A flurry of thoughts and speculations instantly flooded the Zheng family woman’s mind, only to find her growing more chilled.

“You’ll need to wait until you’re underground to figure this out!”

Lu Qing showed no interest in answering.

Having achieved a decisive victory, he understood the principle of taking advantage of a vulnerable opponent.

Though he had severed an arm, the old woman’s cultivation remained, making her a formidable foe.

He had lured her out of the city with all his calculations, not just to chat with her.

So, without stopping, Lu Qing seized upon the old woman’s moment of uncertainty and struck again, a flash of razor-sharp blade.

“Little beast, don’t be so complacent! Even if I lost an arm in your sneak attack, I, your ancestor, can still kill you!”

After witnessing Lu Qing’s scheming and ruthlessness, the Zheng family’s old woman understood that this was a life-or-death situation. If she held back, she would likely die today.

So, without hesitation, she channeled her innate Qi in a strange trajectory, violently stimulating major acupoints throughout her body.

Her aura suddenly doubled.

At the same time, her intact right hand, tightly grasping the dragon-headed cane, fiercely struck Lu Qing.

Bang!

The dragon-headed cane blocked Lu Qing’s longsword, knocking him back several steps.

“Innate-level explosive secret technique?”

Sensing the old witch’s sudden surge of aura, Lu Qing understood.

He wasn’t completely ignorant of innate-level explosive secret techniques.

After all, he had a copy of the highest-level innate realm inheritance in his mind,

which naturally contained related secret techniques.

Strictly speaking, innate-level explosive secret techniques were essentially the same as the acquired realm’s Qi and blood explosive secret techniques.

They all used internal energy to stimulate the various vital points of the body, unleashing potential and gaining greater strength in a short period of time.

However, upon entering the Xiantian realm, the powerful Xiantian realm masters were baptized by the laws of heaven and earth, and their bodies underwent a transformation and strengthening.

Ordinary Qi and blood power were no longer sufficient to stimulate the physical body. Only by circulating Xiantian Zhenqi and stimulating vital acupoints could one continue to unleash the body’s potential.

Furthermore, Xiantian-level explosive secret techniques varied in strength.

Ordinary secret techniques could only double one’s own strength at most; those that could double it were considered exceptional.

Secret techniques that could surpass this were extremely valuable.

Even among the top sects, they were rare and highly prized.

After all, a truly exceptional Xiantian-level explosive secret technique could allow a Xiantian-level expert to instantly unleash several times the power. In a crucial moment, it could save a life—a true life-saving secret technique.

Previously, Lu Qing’s only uncertainty regarding the Zheng family patriarch’s strength had been the true power of her explosive secret technique.

Now, sensing her aura had only increased by about double,

he knew the old woman possessed only a basic explosive secret technique.

If that were the case… then things would be much simpler.

A hint of coldness flashed in Lu Qing’s eyes.

With a thought, the golden ball of light slowly swirling around the soul talisman within his brow acupoint suddenly shone faintly. A strange power immediately surged from the acupoint, blessing Lu Qing. A

faint golden glow flashed across Lu Qing’s body as he felt an immensely powerful force surge from within him. However,

his unparalleled soul power perfectly controlled it.

A golden talisman, a Vajra Power Talisman!

Feeling the overwhelming power surging within him, Lu Qing stomped his foot without hesitation, causing the ground to crack as he charged once again towards the Zheng ancestor.

It sounded complex, but in reality, everything happened in an instant.

From the time the Zheng family’s old woman unleashed her Xiantian realm secrets to repel Lu Qing, to the time Lu Qing used the talisman to charge again, it took no more than a breath.

The Zheng family’s old woman, having initially felt relieved upon seeing Lu Qing repelled by her staff, felt a wave of relief.

She knew that no matter how cunning Lu Qing was, or how many secret techniques he possessed, he was ultimately only at the Acquired Realm.

Even with a broken arm, she still held an absolute advantage in strength.

Seeing Lu Qing charging forward again, she let a glint of disdain cross her eyes.

“Little bastard, today I’ll let you experience the true power of the Innate Realm!”

Infused with her Innate Qi, the old woman unleashed another exquisite staff technique, striking Lu Qing in the chest.

This time, the old woman held nothing back; she intended to destroy him with a single blow!

Facing the old woman’s all-out attack, Lu Qing didn’t flinch. He drew his sword and struck out with his own blade.

Boom!

The sword and the staff collided effortlessly, their unstoppable force instantly shattering the surrounding flowers and plants. A howling wind blew up countless pieces of rubble.

In the violent collision, a withered figure, blood gushing out, flew backwards.

The dragon-headed staff in his hand was even shattered out of his hand, sending it soaring high into the air.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Lu Qing’s sword sent the Zheng family’s old woman flying. Without stopping, he pressed hard, catching up with her while she was still in mid-air. With three lightning-fast strikes, his sword chopped off the old woman’s remaining limbs.

“Ah!!”

Such immense pain would be unbearable even for a Xiantian realm expert.

The old woman finally couldn’t help but let out a terrifying scream.

At the same time, several miles away, the elegant old man and others who were rushing towards them heard the scream, their faces changed, and their movements sped up again.
