Chapter 202: Mockery and Escape

"Little brat! Today I shall kill you—avenge my Yu Er!" Zheng Jia Old Woman’s eyes burned crimson, her gaze locked onto Lu Qing with such murderous intent she seemed ready to devour him alive.

A towering wave of Xian Tian Pressure surged from her body, crushing down upon Lu Qing like a collapsing mountain, aiming to pin him in place.

"What in the world is that old hag ranting about?"

As the Xian Tian Pressure erupted, several powerful figures within the city were instantly alerted. Coupled with that deafening, venomous cry that echoed across the entire city, their surprise turned to unease. Without hesitation, they abandoned their respective mansions and began converging toward Zheng Fu.

Meanwhile, at Gao Ta.

Under the crushing weight of Xian Tian Pressure, Lu Qing remained utterly unaffected. With a swift motion, he drew his bow and loosed an arrow straight at the old woman.

Whoosh!

A piercing whistle split the air as the arrow tore through space, streaking toward Zheng Jia Old Woman in an instant.

"What?!"

A jolt of shock surged through Zheng Jia Old Woman. She hadn’t expected Lu Qing to still be able to launch such a devastating shot under her Xian Tian Pressure. Yet, she sensed nothing of the distinctive Xian Tian Essence that marked a true Xian Tian Jing cultivator. Clearly, he hadn’t even reached the Xian Tian realm.

If he wasn’t a Xian Tian cultivator, then he should’ve been overwhelmed by her pressure—how could he still fire such a lethal arrow?

Before she could finish the thought, the arrow struck mere inches from her face.

The sudden, unexpected attack caught her completely off guard. Evading now would be too late.

And she didn’t even consider it. In front of this enemy—her grandson’s murderer—how could she possibly show weakness by fleeing?

A smirk curled her lips. With a surge of Xian Tian Qi, she swung her dragon-head cane, smashing the arrow midair.

Boom!

The arrow shattered, its momentum shattered, flying backward in a spray of splinters. But the impact was no joke. Zheng Jia Old Woman stood atop the roof, her footing unstable. The force of the blow cracked the tiles beneath her, tearing a gaping hole through the roof and sending her plummeting down into the courtyard below, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"Little brat!"

She roared in fury and disbelief. How could she, a full Xian Tian Jing master, be reduced to such a state by a mere Hou Tian Jing youth? Worse still, the man who had destroyed her family—her most hated enemy.

"Hahahaha! Not bad for a Xian Tian Jing powerhouse—still alive, huh?"

"Then I’ll be off. If you’re brave enough, come chase me!"

Lu Qing knew the arrow hadn’t done any real damage. He wasn’t surprised. The distance between Gao Ta and Zheng Fu was over hundreds of meters. If that arrow had harmed her, then Xian Tian Jing cultivators would truly be useless.

He could have fired more arrows to further humiliate her, but what was the point? Not only was the thousand-fold refined magic arrow rare—there weren’t many left—but he already sensed multiple powerful presences closing in.

With enemies unknown, he decided it was best not to linger.

One arrow to send her tumbling off the roof, a mocking laugh, and without hesitation, he leapt down—vanishing from sight above Gao Ta.

"Little brat! You think you can escape?!"

Zheng Jia Old Woman wasn’t about to let him go. Seeing Lu Qing vanish into the distance, she reacted instantly, her body rocketing forward in a flash of speed, streaking toward Gao Ta. At the same time, she extended her Spirit Soul Power, desperately tracking his presence to prevent escape.

But just as she leapt from Zheng Fu, still over a hundred meters from Gao Ta, Lu Qing’s aura suddenly vanished—completely erased.

"What?!"

She froze mid-stride, eyes wide with disbelief. The boy hadn’t escaped her Spirit Soul range. How could he have wiped out his presence so completely?

Secret technique? Or a hidden treasure?

Just as the old woman struggled to comprehend, Lu Qing’s aura flared back to life—this time, far away, nearly beyond her reach. And the direction? The City Gate.

"Little brat! You won’t get away!"

A surge of triumph flared in her chest. She didn’t pause to question how he’d done it—whether it was a technique or a relic. She knew one thing: if she missed this chance, she’d never find him again.

This boy clearly saw through her false rumors. He was cunning—dangerously so. If he escaped the city now, he’d vanish without a trace, hiding forever.

Xian Tian Jing speed was blinding. With Xian Tian Qi fueling her movements, she closed the gap swiftly, gaining on Lu Qing.

Just as she neared, within a hundred meters—his aura vanished once more.

But this time, she had learned. She didn’t hesitate. She pressed forward relentlessly.

She was certain he was trying to flee the city. If she reached the City Gate first, he’d have nowhere to run.

"Got it, did you?"

Lu Qing, concealed by his Shen Hun Fu Lu technique, sensed her charge toward him. He smiled. Perfect. She’s falling right into my trap.

He’d feared she might be too stupid to figure it out.

"But do you really think you can catch me at the City Gate? So easy?"

A flicker of light pulsed within the Earth Movement Talisman’s space in his brow cavity. A subtle, weightless force wrapped around him—his speed skyrocketed, matching the old woman’s stride for stride.

And she had no idea.

Though the city was large, it was densely packed with people. Though she was only a hundred meters behind, Lu Qing had chosen his path carefully—zigzagging between buildings, hiding behind walls, avoiding direct sightlines.

They could only sense each other through Spirit Soul resonance. Their eyes could not see.

But with the Earth Movement Talisman amplifying his speed, Lu Qing reached the City Gate in an instant—then plunged through without hesitation.

The gate guards and onlookers barely registered him. A gust of wind roared past, and a blur of motion vanished into the open road beyond.

Whoosh!

Before anyone could react, another figure appeared at the gate—radiating a terrifying presence that sent chills through everyone’s bones.

"Where is he?!"

Zheng Jia Old Woman arrived at the gate, her eyes blazing, scanning the horizon. But there was no sign of Lu Qing.

"Could he have turned back into the city?"

The thought crossed her mind—until she noticed the guards’ strange expressions.

Her instincts flared. Though reluctant to believe, she seized the nearest gatekeeper by the collar.

"Tell me—did a little brat just run out?"

"Y-yes, ma’am! A figure—just a few breaths ago—ran out! B-but I-I couldn’t see his face!"

The guard trembled under her icy stare, his voice shaking.

At that moment, Lu Qing’s aura flared again—this time, unmistakably, outside the city walls.
