Chapter 434: Cut off the foundation and kill with one move

!

With a single exertion, Lu Qing crushed Elder Jinzhong’s head.

A dignified Jindan realm cultivator, arguably standing at the pinnacle of the world’s most powerful,

he was easily crushed to death by Lu Qing.

Without even a shred of struggle, his form and soul were annihilated, his life force dissipated.

This scene stunned all the monks of Xuankong Mountain.

They hadn’t expected that, surrounded by so many masters in a formation,

this evil demon would be so audacious and brazen.

He dared to crush Elder Jinzhong’s head right before their eyes!

“Grand Elder!”

Many monks cried out in grief.

Even the aura on the mountaintop, which Lu Qing had been monitoring, rose and fell imperceptibly.

It seemed they hadn’t expected Lu Qing to be so decisive and unscrupulous, crushing a Jindan realm cultivator to death.

“Evil demon, Xuankong Mountain and you are irreconcilable! Activate the formation, follow me to slay the evil demon!”

A Foundation Establishment monk, his eyes bloodshot, clearly overcome with grief and rage.

With a roar, he summoned a yellow beaded magical weapon.

With this shout, the surrounding Xuankong Mountain monks, their faces equally filled with grief and rage, instantly erupted with Qi, blood, and spiritual energy. These energy, linked together through the formation, converged upon the Foundation Establishment monk.

The combined power of over a hundred Xiantian and Foundation Establishment cultivators was terrifying.

So potent was its might that even the very space within the secret realm vibrated slightly.

The Foundation Establishment monk at the center of the formation, aided by this immense power, flushed crimson. The beaded magical weapon before him shone brightly, its power soaring.

It transformed into a massive sphere, crushing towards Lu Qing.

Before the magical weapon even touched him, Lu Qing felt his body sink, a heavy weight bearing down upon him.

“Earth-based magic weapon, earth-veined magnetic force?”

Lu Qing’s gaze narrowed. The combined power of so many Xuankong Mountain monks was no less than that of an ordinary Jindan Stage 2 or 3 cultivator.

Had another Jindan cultivator come in, even a formidable figure like the white-robed youth that day would have struggled to defeat them.

Truly worthy of an influence passed down through the ages.

Lu Qing sighed inwardly.

But, were they to use earth-veined magnetic force against him?

With a fleeting thought, the Earth Spirit Pearl in his brow acupoint vibrated slightly. A flash of yellow light enveloped him, instantly dispelling the weight of gravity.

Then, before the Xuankong Mountain monks could react, he grasped with his hand, sending a surge of earth-veined magnetic force radiating outward, instantly enveloping the entire jade platform.

Then, Lu Qing raised his hand, and the Xuankong Mountain monks felt, to their horror, an incredibly powerful binding force descend upon them.

His body involuntarily rose, floating mid-air.

“Old baldy, since you won’t show yourself, then watch as your disciples and grandchildren are shattered to pieces.”

Lu Qing, using the power of the earth’s magnetic field, lifted all the monks from Xuankong Mountain.

He looked at the mountaintop and spoke calmly.

The next moment, he pressed down.

“Have mercy!”

The being on the mountaintop could no longer sit idly by. Its aura surged, and a powerful momentum rose.

A figure swiftly descended.

“Master!”

The monks of Xuankong Mountain in mid-air, sensing this aura, rejoiced.

Some even shouted, “Master, quickly slay this demon! He’s murdered the Grand Elder!”

However, Lu Qing grinned and said, “It’s too late to show yourself now!” As he

finished speaking, he pressed his hand down.

With this movement, the monks in mid-air suddenly felt their bodies grow countless times heavier.

Crushed by the powerful earth veins’ magnetic force, he spat out blood, and his body was thrown downward at an extremely fast speed!

Boom!

The entire jade platform was twisted and deformed by the earth veins’ magnetic force that Lu Qing activated.

The bodies of the more than one hundred monks from Xuankong Mountain were even more twisted and deformed under such terrifying force.

Instantly, blood flowed freely across the vast platform, and the rich, bloody stench permeated the air, resembling hell.

All the monks of Xuankong Mountain, whether in the Innate Realm or the Foundation Establishment Realm, perished under Lu Qing’s crushing blow, not a single one escaping.

Bang!

A figure suddenly stopped in mid-air, stirring up a gust of air. They gazed with disbelief at the scene below, a scene resembling hell on earth.

And at Lu Qing, standing in the middle of it.

“Old bald donkey, are you finally out?”

Lu Qing looked up at the figure in the sky. It was a bald monk in a cassock, slightly plump, with a face as rosy and smooth as a baby’s.

But even then, the abbot of Xuankong Mountain’s gaze remained fixed on the fallen monks.

His eyes were filled with sadness. He knew Xuankong Mountain was doomed.

Almost all the elite of the temple had gathered on this platform, and now, Lu Qing had annihilated them with a single blow.

Even if he could slay Lu Qing, with so many dead disciples, Xuankong Mountain would surely fall.

Thinking of a legacy passed down for tens of thousands of years, now destroyed by his own hands,

the abbot of Xuankong Mountain felt a surge of fury, his eyes blazing as he glared at Lu Qing.

“Evil demon, what grudge does Xuankong Mountain have against you that you must kill us all?”

“What grudge?” Lu Qing said calmly. “That’s right. Xuankong Mountain has committed countless evil deeds.

If I were to count them all, I’m afraid even the true demons wouldn’t have done as much.

It’s normal to forget your enemies.

But it doesn’t matter. Just consider me here today to enforce justice.”

“What a justice for Heaven!”

The abbot of Xuankong Mountain laughed furiously and suddenly shouted, “Then I’ll destroy you, evil demon!”

With that, a powerful aura emanated from him.

Simultaneously, a surge of energy rose from the mountain where Lu Qing stood, connecting to him.

Suddenly, the aura of the abbot of Xuankong Mountain rose steadily, soon multiplying several times over.

“Hmm?”

Lu Qing suddenly sensed something was wrong and floated slightly off the ground.

Then, his gaze fixed, he saw the jade platform beneath his feet suddenly wriggle.

Not only did it suck the flowing blood into the ground, it also devoured the corpses of the Xuankong Mountain disciples.

Immediately afterwards, the Xuankong Mountain Master’s aura intensified even faster, and even wisps of black energy emerged from his body.

“Spiritual weapon?”

Lu Qing sensed the energy rising from the ground and instantly understood.

“So, the spiritual weapon of your Xuankong Mountain, which maintains this secret realm, is integrated into the suspended mountain beneath you.

You’ve been hiding and motionless just now, relying on the power of the spiritual weapon to stabilize your realm.”

Lu Qing casually swung a blade of energy, slashing towards the Xuankong Mountain Master in mid-air.

But just as the blade was about to strike, a ray of light emerged from his body, blocking the blade.

“Spiritual weapon protects you.”

Sensing the defensive power of the light, Lu Qing knew this was not something that could be easily broken.

Although the Xuankong Mountain Master’s spiritual weapon was integrated into the mountain, it served to maintain the stability of this secret realm.

But the abbot of Hanging Mountain, after countless years of refining and communicating with the aura, had clearly been able to mobilize the power of that spiritual weapon.

Unless he could shake the foundation of the giant suspended mountain beneath his feet, it would be difficult to break the defensive power of the spiritual weapon on the other party.

Looking at the abbot of Hanging Mountain, whose aura was still rising, surrounded by black energy, and the pain that occasionally appeared on his face,

it was obvious that the other party was performing some secret method, and it didn’t seem to be very righteous.

Lu Qing’s figure flashed, and he turned into a stream of light, flying off the platform and reaching a higher altitude.

With a wave of his hand, a small, ancient tripod appeared in front of him, growing rapidly in size due to the wind.
