Chapter 278: Crushing Violence, A Direct Execution!
July 12, 2024
Not only were the people at the foot of the mountain shocked beyond belief, but the several great beauties who were originally competing on the Heavenly Ladder were also astonished.
"Li Xianzi, did you see the person just now?"
"It looked like a young man."
"A young man climbed the Heavenly Ladder with such ease. How is that possible?"
"Could it be some old monster pretending to be young?"
"Even if it's an old monster, he shouldn't treat the Heavenly Ladder as nothing."
"Could it be some peerless genius from a secret realm?"
...
As everyone speculated about Lu Qing's identity, he had already left the Heavenly Ladder and arrived at the other side of the Sacred Mountain.
Lin Zhirui had once told him about the approximate location of the Sacred Pool.
According to the Master of Tianji Tower, his master had just left the Sacred Pool when he encountered someone from Xuankong Mountain. So, he shouldn't be far from the Sacred Pool.
"Old Baldy from Xuankong Mountain, if something happens to my master, I'll make sure the entire Xuankong Mountain secret realm pays the price!"
Lu Qing's eyes were cold, and a faint yellow light emanated from his body as he moved swiftly across the Sacred Mountain.
The oppressive force of the Sacred Mountain seemed non-existent to him.
"I guessed right. The so-called pressure on this Sacred Mountain is actually the Earth Vein Primordial Magnetic Force.
For others, the pressure on the mountain is a burden, but for someone with the Earth Spirit Pearl like me, it's a boost instead!"
When Lin Zhirui first introduced the Sacred Mountain, Lu Qing had already guessed about the so-called oppressive force.
Now that he was climbing the mountain himself, his guess was further confirmed.
This gave him even more confidence in his upcoming plan to rescue his master.
"Hmm?"
Just as Lu Qing was pondering, a sudden fluctuation up ahead caught his attention.
More importantly, he sensed his master's aura.
At the same time, an anxious voice reached his ears.
"Masters, please show mercy. This Chen Lao is a revered guest of our Tianji Tower. There's no need for such hostility."
"It's Zhirui!"
Lu Qing's eyes narrowed as he realized he had finally arrived.
Without hesitation, a radiant light flashed around his body, and his speed increased by a third as he quickly passed through a forest and arrived at a spacious clearing.
The clearing was paved with stones
In the clearing, seven bald monks wearing red cassocks were sitting cross-legged in a peculiar formation.
Beside them were onlookers, including other bald monks and powerful figures, among whom were the disciples of Yunshui Secret Realm whom Lu Qing had met a couple of days ago.
At the center of the seven bald monks' formation, a golden bowl emitting yellow light hovered in mid-air.
Below the golden bowl, a figure clad in plain clothes was seated cross-legged, his eyes closed, his face flushed, and his body trembling. It could be none other than Old Doctor Chen.
"Master!"
This sight filled Lu Qing with rage.
He could tell that his master was already reaching his limit.
In his fury, Lu Qing didn't hesitate for a moment. He didn't even bother to use his ability to scan for information.
Instead, he immediately took out his bow and arrow from the Qiankun One Qi Bag, drawing the bow to its full extent.
The next moment, a loud whistling sound filled the air as seven arrows pierced through the atmosphere, each shooting toward one of the seven monks' heads from seven different directions.
After shooting the arrows using the Seven Star Linked Pearls technique, Lu Qing didn't hesitate for a second. He immediately put away his bow and arrow.
Then, a long sword appeared in his hand, and he rushed forward with incredible speed.
Ding, ding, ding...
All of this happened in the blink of an eye.
The arrows shot by Lu Qing with his divine bow were exceptionally fast.
In the blink of an eye, they had already reached the heads of the seven monks.
Just as the arrows were about to pierce through the monks' heads, a golden light screen suddenly appeared, blocking the arrows.
The arrows Lu Qing had shot were as if they had hit metal, stopped by that layer of golden light.
Although the golden light rippled with waves, the seven arrows were also firmly held in place, unable to advance any further.
"Who dares?!"
This sudden turn of events caught everyone present by surprise.
The other monks responsible for vigilance on the side were even more shocked. They couldn't believe that someone dared to launch a sneak attack on their elders.
It was also at this moment that everyone noticed Lu Qing's figure.
There was no way to ignore Lu Qing's explosive aura.
Even a blind person could sense the terrifying aura emanating from him.
"Lu Qing, young master?!”
Lin Zhirui recognized the newcomer and was stunned.
"Stop right there!"
On the other hand, upon seeing Lu Qing's figure, several young monks immediately jumped out to block his path.
"Anyone who dares to stand in my way dies!"
Lu Qing was furious to see monks from the same sect daring to obstruct him. Without hesitation, he swung his long sword, cutting through the air as he rushed forward.
This sword strike was infused with Lu Qing's anger. As soon as it was unleashed, a violent killing intent permeated the surroundings.
Everyone who sensed this killing intent, even those at the Innate Realm, had their minds frozen for a moment, let alone the young monks who were still at the Post-Natal Realm.
Lu Qing's killing intent struck their minds, leaving them blank.
Lu Qing's eyes were cold, and his sword strike showed no mercy as he swept it horizontally, intending to slice the young monks in front of him into two.
"Amituo Buddha, benefactor, please show mercy."
Just as Lu Qing's long sword was about to bisect the young monks, a loud Buddhist chant suddenly resounded, and the golden protective light surrounding the seven elder monks surged, enveloping the young monks as well.
Lu Qing's longsword, without reservation, slashed upon the golden light.
The power of this sword strike was far greater than that of the seven arrows he had fired earlier.
Although the protective golden light was sturdy, it was still no match for Lu Qing's strength and began to violently shake, showing signs of dissipating.
"Hmm?"
The leading monk, in charge of the formation, widened his eyes slightly as he saw the golden light about to dissipate. He unleashed a surge of powerful mental energy into the golden bowl.
The golden light, which had almost been shattered by Lu Qing's sword, now showed signs of stabilizing once more.
"Who do you think you are to try and stabilize the formation without my permission?"
Lu Qing sheathed his longsword into the grass beside him and reached into his pocket. When his hand emerged, he was wearing a pair of fine steel gauntlets.
ROAR!
In the next moment, a tremendous roar emanated from Lu Qing's body, as if an ancient ferocious tiger had awakened within him.
Accompanying the heart-shaking roar, Lu Qing twisted his waist and threw a punch, infusing it with immense power. The punch landed on the golden light, causing the air around him to explode with layers of white mist.
This punch caused the golden light of the formation to finally falter and shatter under the intense tremors!
"Not good!"
The seven elder monks were shocked to see Lu Qing shatter the golden light of the formation with his bare hands. They frantically channeled their mental energy, attempting to reactivate the golden bowl, but it was too late.
As soon as the golden light of the formation shattered, the old doctor, who had been sitting at the center of the formation, suddenly regained clarity in his eyes, and his flushed face calmed.
"Not good, retreat!"
As the old doctor opened his eyes, the other monks felt a sense of foreboding and quickly retreated, even abandoning the golden bowl.
In the next moment, countless sword auras appeared in the void around the old doctor, forming a sword aura storm that spread in all directions, engulfing the area where the seven elder monks had been sitting just moments ago.
The sword auras raged for over a dozen breaths before gradually subsiding.
When the sword auras dissipated, revealing the old doctor's figure, everyone involuntarily gasped.
They saw that within a radius of several zhang around the old doctor, except for the spot where he had been sitting cross-legged, the rest of the area was ravaged by sword auras.
The entire area was covered in countless sword marks and a thick layer of stone dust.
It was evident that if those monks hadn't retreated, they would have been shredded by the sword auras, their bodies and bones obliterated.
"Sword Aura Domain! There's actually someone who can cultivate such a formidable innate domain?"
Someone with extensive knowledge exclaimed in a low voice, unable to hide their surprise.
"Master, are you alright?"
Lu Qing was at a distance from the old doctor and was not affected by the sword auras. Seeing his master display such a shocking sword aura storm, he felt relieved and asked with concern.
Everyone turned their heads, only to be surprised once more.
At that moment, Lu Qing was holding a young monk by the neck.
Taking advantage of the moment when the seven elder monks had retreated to avoid the old doctor's sword auras, Lu Qing had seized the opportunity to capture one of the young monks.
"Hui Xin!" The monks exclaimed in shock upon seeing this scene.
"You dare! Let go of Hui Xin!"
The leading monk, seeing the young monk in Lu Qing's grasp, his face turning red and struggling to breathe, felt anger rise within him. He was about to take action against Lu Qing.
But the next moment, a sharp sword aura passed in front of him, forcing him to stop in his tracks.
He turned his head and saw that the old doctor had opened his eyes, and his gaze was clear and calm.
"Venerable Masters, your actions are truly disgraceful. You claimed to discuss medical techniques, but in secret, you used a strange treasure to launch a sneak attack and tried to control my soul. How do you intend to compensate me for this?"
The old doctor recalled the events that had just transpired and still felt a sense of lingering fear.
Earlier, he had been restrained by the peculiar golden bowl, his mind almost unable to sense the outside world.
He felt as if he were in a golden space, surrounded by Buddhist chants that induced a hypnotic state, urging him to convert.
Fortunately, his mental fortitude and willpower were strong; otherwise, he might have become a different person by now.
With these thoughts, the old doctor's eyes turned cold.
Even with his gentle temperament, he couldn't help but feel furious.
As a doctor, he knew how terrifying it would be for someone to lose their sense of self.
He had treated patients with hysteria before, and they were truly pitiable.
Thinking that he had almost become like them, the old doctor's gaze turned icy.
"Master, why bother talking to them? Let's just kill them all!"
Lu Qing's gaze swept over the seven elder monks as he silently read the floating information tags.
The killing intent in his heart grew stronger as he realized that these bald monks' malicious schemes exceeded his expectations.
"Master, save me!"
At this moment, the young monk in Lu Qing's grasp spoke with difficulty.
"Amituo Buddha, benefactor, please show mercy and release Hui Xin."
The leading monk pressed his palms together and said.
"Brat, immediately release the person in your hand, or I will send you to the afterlife!"
Another monk shouted sternly.
"Is that so?"
Lu Qing let out a soft laugh, but his hand twisted slightly.
A crisp cracking sound echoed, and the young monk's neck twisted to an unnatural angle. He twitched in Lu Qing's grasp, his life force slowly fading away.
