Chapter 205: Mental Assault! Kill!
Bang!
The old woman of the Zheng family slammed into a large tree, spitting out another mouthful of blood. Simultaneously, blood gushed from the severed ends of her limbs.
However, it must be said that the vitality of a Innate Realm cultivator was indeed formidable.
Despite suffering such severe injuries, the old woman did not perish or even lose consciousness. She immediately stimulated the remnants of her Innate True Qi within her body, sealing the acupuncture points in her limbs to prevent herself from bleeding to death.
"So, you're afraid of death too. I thought you were truly fearless," Lu Qing's voice rang out, filled with scorn.
The Zheng family matriarch lifted her head, her gaze at Lu Qing filled not only with venom but also with shock.
"You little beast, what kind of monster are you?" she asked, her heart filled with terror and disbelief.
She couldn't believe that in a pure contest of strength, she, a cultivator of the Innate Realm, had been utterly crushed by a Post-Natal Realm warrior.
Lu Qing's previous strike had been relentless, and its power had been outrageously overwhelming. Not only had her treasured weapon been shaken off, but her internal organs had also been severely injured.
Was this truly the kind of power a Post-Natal Realm warrior should possess? Just what kind of terrifying monster was this young beast?
The Zheng family matriarch stared at Lu Qing, her gaze intense. In this moment, with her martial heart shattered, even her grandson's vengeance was temporarily forgotten. All she wanted to know was Lu Qing's true identity.
"I've said it before," Lu Qing replied nonchalantly, "if you want to know who I am, go find the answer underground."
"Do you know why I didn't kill you immediately?" he continued. "The reason is simple. I just wanted you to experience a fraction of the pain that girl endured back then."
At these words, the old woman's eyes widened in shock. "Are you related to that little tramp from back then?"
Her mind immediately flashed back to the stunningly beautiful woman who had once seduced her eldest son. The same woman whose limbs she had hacked off, whom she had tortured beyond recognition, and ultimately entombed in her son's grave to accompany him in death.
Suddenly, she felt like laughing hysterically, thinking that she had finally found something with which to mock and retaliate against Lu Qing.
However, Lu Qing's next words once again left her tongue-tied.
"No," he shook his head, "I'm just an ordinary passerby who took a disliking to you. I have no connection to her. Also, I killed your precious grandson while destroying the Seven Kills House base.
I didn't have any grudge against him; I just didn't like the look of him. In my eyes, he was nothing more than a pest, easily crushed underfoot.
By the way, that's how I see you too."
Hearing Lu Qing's extremely humiliating words, comparing her to a pest, the Zheng family matriarch could no longer hold back her rage. She glared at Lu Qing with utmost hatred, her teeth grinding audibly, as if she wanted to tear him to pieces.
However, Lu Qing's expression remained unchanged in the face of the old woman's terrifying glare.
He continued in a slow, methodical tone, "By the way, I destroyed your beloved grandson's corpse, preventing him from reincarnating. Should I also go and destroy your beloved son's tomb, and release that poor woman's soul?"
"You dare, you little beast!" The old woman's face contorted with fury as she fixed her venomous gaze on Lu Qing. "If you dare to destroy my son's tomb, I will never forgive you, even if I become a vengeful ghost! I will haunt you for the rest of your life and ensure you never know peace!"
"Do you think you'll even have the chance to become a ghost?" Lu Qing asked, his voice calm and devoid of emotion.
Chapter: "A Grisly End"
A hint of scorn appeared on Lu Qing's face.
"You should consider yourself lucky, old hag. I don't particularly enjoy torturing people, otherwise, I would have made you experience the same pain that girl endured back then."
"However, since you care so much, I've decided that after I finish you off, I'll go and destroy your despicable son's tomb."
"If you can turn into a vengeful ghost, that would be even better. You can watch from the sidelines as your beloved son's grave is destroyed."
"How dare you!" The old woman of the Zheng family shouted, her face contorted with rage.
Lu Qing's words were like arrows that pierced her heart. Enraged and grief-stricken, she couldn't help but spit out another mouthful of blood.
However, her outburst was met with Lu Qing's longsword.
Having goaded her enough, Lu Qing no longer wasted his breath. With a casual swing of his sword, he slashed at the old woman's neck.
"Stop!"
Just then, a loud shout rang out.
A green sword aura flew towards Lu Qing's sword, attempting to stop him from killing the old woman.
The elegant old man and the others had finally arrived.
Hearing the voice, a glint of wild joy appeared in the old woman's eyes, and she cried out, "Brother Lin, save me..."
"Hmph!"
However, the next moment, Lu Qing coldly huffed.
His sword traced a mysterious arc, dodging the sword aura and slicing through the old woman's neck.
"No!"
A look of terror flashed across the old woman's face.
Whoosh!
Her head flew through the air, landing in the dirt amid a spray of blood. Her expression remained one of sheer horror.
"Yunmei!"
A heart-wrenching cry rang out, followed by several fierce sword auras that rushed towards Lu Qing.
A golden light flickered around Lu Qing, and with a casual swing of his sword, he dispersed the incoming attacks. Turning towards the newcomers, his tone turned hostile.
"What do you mean by this? Are you planning to avenge this venomous hag?"
Although he sensed that the newcomers were all Innate Realm cultivators, Lu Qing was unafraid.
In fact, he had detected their approach earlier but was a little surprised that the old man in blue had suddenly attacked him.
Wasn't it rumored that this old hag had poor relationships and got along terribly with the other Innate Realm cultivators in the city?
Seems like rumors are indeed unreliable.
"Brother Lin, calm down!"
The old man with the youthful appearance reached out to stop the elegant old man, feeling a bit helpless.
His good friend still held a torch for this old woman; how could he lose his composure like this?
However, witnessing the scene before him, he, too, was shocked.
Someone had beheaded the old woman, and her death was incredibly gruesome.
How much time had passed since they chased after her from the city?
The city lord and the middle-aged man with an ivory complexion were equally astonished.
They had pursued the old woman to see who had angered her so, but they never expected to arrive at this scene—the old woman beheaded, her limbs severed, her death utterly tragic.
A formidable Innate Realm cultivator had been reduced to a human stick, her limbs chopped off. This horrifying sight caused a chill to rise in the city lord and the ivory-faced man's hearts.
To be clear, although they disliked her, the old woman of the Zheng family was by no means weak.
If it came to a life-or-death struggle, even they might not be able to defeat her decisively.
Just who was this person who had killed her in such a short time?
Unconsciously, the Innate Realm cultivators directed their gazes at Lu Qing.
