Chapter 224: Reverse scale, step on it to death

“Master, Young Master, these appear to be the townspeople,”

Ma Gu said after examining the bodies.

“Hmm,”

the old doctor nodded, his expression grim.

“Let’s go in.”

The carriage clattered into the town.

Qingfeng Town was now a scene of devastation.

The vast town was silent, deserted. Only corpses lay sprawled on the streets.

Red blood splattered everywhere, some already darkening.

This scene, resembling hell on earth, made the old doctor’s expression grow even darker. Fortunately, he could sense the presence of many still living people in the houses lining the street, hiding in corners and daring not to come out.   Knowing that the Liuyun Sect disciples hadn’t actually massacred the town, he

felt a sense of relief.   But the old doctor’s expression remained unrelenting. He gazed at the town’s tallest building, his gaze stern.   His innate spiritual sense told him that the Liuyun Sect disciples hadn’t left and were still in the town.   ”Old doctor, that’s the only restaurant in town, Qingfenglou.” Zhao Qianlin explained.   ”Let’s go over there.” The old doctor said lightly.   But Lu Qing knew that his master was really angry this time.   The carriage immediately drove over there.   When it was approaching Qingfenglou, the sound of whipping was heard from inside, accompanied by bursts of arrogant laughter.   ”Haha, screaming, I see you are still screaming, you are tough, how come you can’t bear it after just a few beatings?   You know, your master was whipped for hundreds of times and didn’t faint. Your two junior brothers were also whipped dozens of times before they couldn’t bear it and fainted.   How come you are so useless?”   An arrogant voice came from the restaurant.   But what was strange was that there was only the sound of whipping, but no screams were heard.   ”Very good, you’re so stubborn, huh? Come, bring that little bitch out! I want to see if he can still keep silent when his beloved junior sister is being raped right in front of him!”   The arrogant voice echoed again, followed by several screams.   Simultaneously, a roar of deep grief and indignation rang out: “You bastard, let go of my junior sister!”   ”Let go of Rou’er!” A weak voice also shouted.   ”Old Doctor Chen, those are the voices of my master, Senior Brother Dashi, and my junior sister!”   Zhao Qianlin’s face fell upon hearing this.   ”Ma Gu!” the old doctor said sternly.   Ma Gu understood and immediately cracked his whip, causing the carriage to accelerate sharply.   Such a commotion naturally attracted attention.   In front of the restaurant, two Liuyun Sect disciples guarding the door saw a tall carriage rushing towards them and immediately drew their weapons. He   shouted, “Stop! Who are you? If you don’t stop, I’ll chop you down!”   ”Shut up!”   Ma Gu yanked the reins as the carriage reached the gates of Qingfeng Tower, bringing it to a screeching halt.   Using the momentum of the forward charge, he leaped forward, his long sword unsheathed. With a single strike from the scabbard, the two Liuyun Sect disciples’ chests collapsed, vomiting blood, and crashed into the restaurant.   Disciples assigned to guard the gates naturally couldn’t be highly skilled. With Ma Gu’s current strength, he dispatched them with just two casual strikes.   ”Who are you?!”   This sudden change naturally alarmed the restaurant’s inhabitants.   Someone immediately rushed out to investigate, but as soon as the two Liuyun Sect disciples emerged, Ma Gu kicked them twice, sending them flying backwards before they could even see where they were. A clattering sound echoed, knocking over countless tables and chairs.   Following these sudden incidents, the restaurant fell silent.   In this quiet, Lu Qing and his companions stepped into the restaurant.   As soon as they entered, they saw a figure with his hands tied behind his back, covered in blood, with not a single spot on his body intact. He was lying on the ground, breathing weakly, his face still filled with anger.   Next to him, there was a figure with whip marks all over his body, standing stubbornly.   In front of him, a young man with a feminine face and gorgeous clothes was holding a girl who was also tied up.   As for the corner, there were seven or eight corpses piled up. Judging from their clothes, they seemed to be the owner of the restaurant, the chef, and the waiter.   But among them, there was a small figure that made Lu Qing and his companions’ eyes shrink.   ”Master, Senior Brother Dashi, Junior Sister!” Zhao Qianlin cried out in grief.   It turned out that the figure lying on the ground, breathing weakly, was Fang Tao.   ”Junior Sister Qianlin, you have been captured too?” Dashi was shocked when he saw Zhao Qianlin, and his face changed drastically when he saw Lu Qing and the others, “Did you involve Old Doctor Chen and the others?”   ”Senior Sister! Young Master Lu! Old Doctor Chen!” Fang Rou also shouted.   ”Master Fang, we meet again.” Lu Qing nodded.   ”Old Doctor Chen, Young Master Lu, you have been captured too?” Fang Tao’s face showed astonishment.   ”Master, no, Old Doctor Chen and the others are here to rescue us!” Zhao Qianlin shouted.   ”Rescue us?” Fang Tao was a little bit unbelievable.   But he quickly reacted and shouted: “Old Doctor Chen, these people are very powerful, you should leave quickly and don’t worry about us!”   ”Can you leave? You killed our people from Liuyun Sect and you still want to leave?”

At this moment, the sinister voice of the feminine man rang out.

“So it’s you, little bitch, who’s even brought help to come and die?”

He, still holding Fang Rou, looked at Zhao Qianlin with a cruel smile.

But soon, he sensed something was amiss: “No, you’re here, but where are Elder Hong and the others?!”

“They’re dead,” Ma Gu said coldly. “You’re the Young Master of the Liuyun Sect, right? Release the girl you’re holding, and perhaps we can save you some pain later.”

Lu Qing ignored the feminine youth’s words, his gaze fixed on a short, stocky, ape-like man with long arms standing three steps behind him.

The stocky man, sensing Lu Qing’s gaze, raised his eyelids and gave him a cold glance.

“What? Elder Hong is dead?”

The surrounding Liuyun Sect disciples were shocked.

Elder Hong was one of the top three Internal Viscera Realm masters among them.

The fact that these people could kill him was truly extraordinary.

All the Liuyun Sect disciples immediately looked at Lu Qing and the others with vigilance.

Even the short and stocky man remained calm, seeming a little surprised.

“Interesting.”

Hearing that Elder Hong and the others were already dead, the feminine young man was startled, but he quickly smiled again.

“So even Elder Hong fell to you. No wonder you dared to come to his rescue. It seems you have something to rely on.”

“I wonder what you’re relying on? Is it you two immature kids, or this old man, or this man with the knife, or maybe…”

The feminine young man examined Lu Qing and the others one by one. When his eyes fell on Xiaoyan, who was holding Xiaoli, they instantly lit up.

“How could such a lovely and charming girl exist in the world?!”

The feminine young man stared at Xiaoyan with an extremely evil look.

The evil in his eyes frightened Xiaoyan so much that she quickly hid behind Zhao Qianlin.

“You guys are quite impressive, having brought such a truly exceptional girl. If you offer her up to me, I’ll have a lot of fun, and perhaps I’ll consider forgiving you for provoking the Flowing Cloud Sect…”

Before the feminine young man could finish his words, a chilling murderous intent suddenly filled the hall, causing everyone to freeze and a chill to their core.

Even the stocky man was no exception.

“What did you just say?”

Lu Qing’s voice echoed, tingling with chill.

“Young Sect Master, be careful!”

The stocky man, who had been standing behind the feminine young man, leaped up like a wasp stung by its tail, blocking the way. He raised his palms and stared at Lu Qing warily.

At this moment, the feminine young man regained his composure.

Although he was surprised that Lu Qing could radiate such murderous intent, seeing the stocky man standing in front of him gave him a sense of security.

He looked at Lu Qing with a cruel smile: “I say, if you offer that girl up to me…”

Boom! The

feminine young man was barely halfway through his words when the wooden planks beneath Lu Qing’s feet suddenly shattered, and a figure lunged towards him.

“Sir, let’s talk it over. The Young Sect Master didn’t mean that…”

The stocky man, sensing Lu Qing’s explosive aura, was startled and shouted.

“Get out!”

However, he was met with a ferocious punch from Lu Qing, who had already lunged in front of him.

“This punch?!”

Feeling Lu Qing’s punch, like the collapse of Optimus Prime, the stocky man’s heart trembled, his eyelids twitching wildly.

Though he couldn’t understand how Lu Qing, who had previously only possessed the aura of the Qi and Blood Realm and was so young, could unleash such terrifying power,

he knew it was too late to say anything.

Lu Qing’s punch was too formidable. If he couldn’t block it, not only he, but also the Young Sect Master behind him, would be crushed to death!

“Ah!!!”

In this life-or-death moment, the stocky man unleashed his full potential, his Qi and Blood surging through his body.

His already immensely sturdy arms instantly swelled, turning crimson, and doubled in size, like two iron gates, firmly blocking him in front of him, shielding him from all vitals.

His feet planted themselves firmly on the ground, breaking through the wooden planks as he plunged down, determined to completely stabilize himself and block Lu Qing’s punch with all his might.

Seeing the short and stocky man’s strange transformation, Lu Qing’s expression remained unmoved, remaining stern.

He didn’t even bother changing his form, simply delivering a single, unflinching punch to the short and stocky man’s arms.

Under everyone’s gaze, Lu Qing’s fists collided with the short and stocky man’s arms without any fanfare.

And then, they watched. Almost instantly,

as Lu Qing’s fists impacted the short

and stocky man’s arms, they twisted and buckled, completely breaking. No longer able to protect himself, Lu Qing’s fists drove straight through, piercing his chest.

Boom!

With a single punch, Lu Qing unleashed his full strength on the short and stocky man.

Due to their height difference, Lu Qing’s punch was a downward force.

As a result, the short and stocky man wasn’t sent flying by the punch, but was instead pinned firmly to the spot.

The powerful force unleashed caused the short and stocky man’s position to sink, and the powerful shockwave ripped the entire wooden floor of the restaurant hall into tatters.

As for the short and stocky man, after enduring Lu Qing’s terrifying punch, he was no longer recognizable, completely dead, no longer breathing.

Deathly silence, utter silence.

Everyone in the restaurant was stunned, watching this scene in awe.

Master and disciple Fang Taoji were completely stunned.

They couldn’t believe that the murderous, ghostly Lu Qing before them was the gentle young man who had chatted and laughed with them every day just a few days ago.

“Is Elder Qiu dead?”

The feminine young man who was knocked to the ground by the shock wave just now stared blankly at the short and strong man who was no longer in human form in the deep pit.

It was totally unacceptable that Elder Qiu, who was at the level of a martial arts grandmaster and whose strength could be ranked among the top five among all the elders of the Liuyun Sect, could not even take a single punch and was beaten to death by that kid.

Da, da, da…

In the dead silence, Lu Qing walked towards the feminine young man step by step.

Standing in front of the other party, he looked down at him indifferently.

“Tell me again, what did you want to do before?”

The feminine young man shuddered and finally came back to his senses.

Looking at Lu Qing in front of him, feeling the terrible murderous intent on his body, he shouted and suddenly crawled backwards.

“Come here, come quickly and protect me!”

“Young Sect Master!”

Several Liuyun Sect disciples instinctively moved to step forward.

But the next moment, Lu Qing flicked his finger, and with a few hissing sounds, each of them was pierced through the forehead. Their bodies collapsed to the ground, instantly dead.

This act instantly frightened the remaining Liuyun Sect disciples, who dared not move.

Under the terrified gazes of the Liuyun Sect disciples, Lu Qing continued to advance towards the feminine young man.

“Don’t kill me, don’t kill me! I’m the Young Master of the Liuyun Sect. My father is the Master. My great-grandfather is the Grand Elder of the Liuyun Sect. If you dare touch a hair on my head, my great-grandfather will never let you go!”

The feminine young man, retreating into a corner with nowhere to retreat, shouted frantically as Lu Qing approached.

His once neat and ornate clothes were now stained with blood and dust from the tumbling and crawling. His hair was disheveled, and he looked like a beggar or a demon.

Not a trace of his previous arrogance remained.

However, his threat could not stop Lu Qing at all.

Walking slowly in front of the feminine young man, Lu Qing looked at him indifferently and slowly raised his foot.

Sensing the murderous intent on Lu Qing’s body, the feminine young man knew that Lu Qing would never let him go.

His face showed an extremely resentful look, staring at Lu Qing intently: “You lowly people, dare to kill me?

My grandfather is an ancestor of the Xiantian realm. If I die, not only you, but also your family, clansmen, and even everyone in this town will have to be buried with me…”

Bang!

Amid the feminine young man’s curses, Lu Qing stepped down with one foot, directly pressing his head into his chest and abdomen, and he died.
