Chapter 279: Sword Breaks the Qi

When Lu Qing crushed the young monk to death, a deathly silence fell over the entire audience.

Everyone stared at the young man in wide-eyed disbelief, daring him to crush a disciple of Xuankong Mountain to death in public.

This was Xuankong Mountain, after all.

One of the Four Great Secret Lands, it was home to numerous powerful individuals and held a profound mystery. The depths of this immense power were unknown.

Even the great sects of Zhongzhou held themselves in awe of such a colossus.

In the past, even a slave emerging from the secret land would be treated with respect by the great sects of Zhongzhou, not daring to show the slightest slight.

Therefore, upon witnessing Lu Qing’s decisive act of crushing a Xuankong Mountain disciple to death,

the onlookers were not only shocked but also filled with a sense of absurdity.

How dare this young man?!

Lin Zhirui, in particular, trembled in his heart: “It’s over!”

Even the great monks of Xuankong Mountain were stunned as they felt the life force of the young monk gradually fade from Lu Qing’s grasp.

Immediately, a cry of agony rang out.

“Ah! Huixin! How dare you, little bastard!”

It was Huixin’s master. Seeing his protégé’s neck snapped right before his eyes by Lu Qing, his eyes blazed with blood. With a sudden movement, his crimson-robed form leaped towards Lu Qing like a crimson cloud.

“Good timing!”

Lu Qing tossed the man to the ground. With a flick of his wrist, he unsheathed his long sword. In the next moment, a furious murderous intent permeated the air once again, shaking the mind. A flash of brilliant blade slashed towards the monk.

“Die, little bastard!”

The monk, facing Lu Qing’s murderous blow, his face etched with murderous intent. A golden light shone in his hand. He grasped the blade without flinching

, attempting to wrest Lu Qing’s sword with his bare hands.

“Huh?”

Lu Qing was startled.

Given the cunningness of these bald monks, they didn’t seem like such reckless individuals. Could there be a trick?

With a thought, his hand suddenly shifted. The blade, originally aimed for the monk’s palm, slashed in a mysterious arc, bypassing it and striking directly at his face.

This shift in blade momentum was perfectly natural and impeccable, truly showcasing the profound realm of Lu Qing’s swordsmanship.

The monk hadn’t expected Lu Qing to execute such a subtle shift in momentum in such a split second. He was caught off guard and unable to dodge. He only managed to turn his head to avoid the blow to his face,

but his shoulder was completely blocked, and Lu Qing struck him.

Ding!

However, to Lu Qing’s surprise

, his strike didn’t seriously injure the monk.

His blade struck his face, like a bronze statue, resounding with the sound of metal.

“Is this the [Vajra Dharmakaya] mentioned in the note?”

Lu Qing thought, recalling the information he had just discovered through his supernatural powers.

But…

you think you can completely block my sword with just a protective Qi?

Lu Qing’s eyes were cold, and the sword that was chopped on the big monk’s shoulder trembled countless times in an instant.

His wrist shook and dragged.

Crash!

The big monk’s shoulder was instantly covered with blood, and a deep knife wound that could see the bone was cut from the shoulder to the chest and abdomen, almost cutting him in half!

“Ah!”

It sounds complicated, but in fact everything happened in an instant.

The big monk did not expect that Lu Qing’s swordsmanship was so sharp that even his proud Vajra Dharma Body could not withstand it.

After being severely hit by the knife, he screamed and retreated in panic.

“Want to leave?”

Lu Qing succeeded in one knife move, and immediately took advantage of the victory to pursue him. He stepped on the ground, and his figure shot out, the knife light flashed, and he chopped at the big monk again.

Seeing this, the elder monk no longer dared to act arrogantly. With a slight shake of his hand, a short brass staff slipped out of his sleeve and he threw it towards the blade.

Boom!

The elder monk’s response was hasty, and he couldn’t use his full strength. When the sword and staff collided, his large body, which was already retreating, was suddenly chopped back by Lu Qing’s sword. It was not

until another elder monk stepped in to support him that he was able to stabilize his body.

Seeing that the elder monk had retreated to the camp, Lu Qing did not continue to pursue him, but stood proudly in his place.

“Xuankong Mountain, it’s just like this.”

The whole audience fell into silence again.

Everyone stared at the scene before them with wide eyes.

“Am I seeing correctly? Master Xuan Nu was actually injured by that young man’s sword strike?”

“Master Xuan Nu’s Vajra Dharmakaya has long been cultivated to the highest level. Once his protective qi is released, even divine weapons are invulnerable. Yet, he was shattered by a single blow. Who on earth is this young man?”

“Not only that, have you noticed that, up to this point, he’s only unleashed the energy of his physical body’s qi and blood, without even utilizing his innate true qi!”

“Without innate true qi, could he be a post-natal realm warrior?”

Everyone was stunned by the sight of Lu Qing’s single strike severely injuring Master Xuan Nu.

Those from the other three secret realms who knew Master Xuan Nu’s background were especially shocked.

Master Xuan Nu was a powerful warrior who had reached the highest level of the innate realm. He

had also cultivated an extremely powerful secret technique, the Vajra Dharmakaya.

It was rumored to be an extremely powerful protective qi. Once mastered, the qi was invulnerable to swords and weapons, and impervious to water and fire.

Even warriors of the same level would struggle to break it.

This was a long-renowned defensive technique from Xuankong Mountain.

Unexpectedly, it hadn’t been seen in years, and now, upon its appearance, it was shattered by a single sword strike from a young man.

Most importantly, the young man who attacked was suspected to be only a post-natal realm warrior. With a

post-natal body, he defeated a master of the innate realm from the four secret lands with a single sword strike? For

a moment, everyone looked at Lu Qing with a mixture of shock and disbelief.

They couldn’t imagine how he had done it.

“Has Young Master Lu Qing’s strength reached this point?”

Lin Zhirui watched the scene with a similarly bewildered expression.

He had suspected Lu Qing’s strength would be far greater now, even greater than it was two years ago.

But he had never imagined he would be this powerful.

Whether it was the previous fist that shattered the formation, or the current sword strike that injured a master of the innate realm from Xuankong Mountain, the terrifying power far exceeded his imagination.

Hearing the exclamations from the surroundings, Lu Qing remained calm.

The reason he was able to shatter the great monk’s Vajra Dharmakaya was actually very simple.

Firstly, it was the divine sword in his hand, forged from meteorite iron, which was sharp and unparalleled, far surpassing ordinary divine weapons.

Secondly, it was the sword technique he used.

The shock and dragging sword force!

In an instant, at an extremely high frequency, the blade was vibrated, breaking through the surface with a point.

This was his original creation, a move specially used for the protection of the body and the like.

It requires extremely strong body control ability and a very high level of swordsmanship to be able to perform.

This was the first time he used it against the enemy, and he didn’t expect it to be so effective immediately, almost killing a powerful man who had achieved the great success of the innate realm.

“Old bald donkeys of Xuankong Mountain, who else of you wants to come up and die?”

Lu Qing said lightly, pointing the long sword forward.
