Chapter 56: His Words Cast a Deep Shadow on My Psyche
"Bro, bro, isn't this a bit much?"
Zhang Chulan was clearly panicking when he saw the two Elders kneeling on the ground. He had called Lu Ke over to back him up, but he never expected Lu Ke to go this far.
He had broken their backs!
The effect of the Overlord Aura infused with spiritual pressure was even better than expected, far more than a simple one plus one. The mental pressure was intense, and it even had physical effects.
Lu Ke silently noted the results of his experiment and then glanced at Wang Ai, who was struggling to hold on. "I didn't want to do this, you know. I've always been friendly, but who made them push so hard?"
He had backed down several times, even speaking kindly and invoking the Great Heavenly Master, but none of it worked. What else could he do?
Lu Ke lifted his foot and placed it on Wang Ai's head, treating him like a misbehaving dog. "Whoa, Old Dog Wang, how about now? Can we talk nicely, huh?"
Wang Ai's eyes were wide with fury as he struggled to look up at Lu Ke.
Years of consuming spirits had warped his mind, making him erratic, but his raw power still placed him among the top ranks of the Ten Elders. So, he still had some fight left in him.
"You're dead! You're dead!"
"Do you know who I am?"
"I am Wang Ai, one of the Ten Elders, the head of the Wang family, a pillar of the paranormal community!"
"Little rat, you dare to humiliate me like this? Even the Great Heavenly Master can't save you!"
Lu Ci, seeing his enraged companion, struggled to crawl a few steps away, each movement excruciatingly slow.
He looked at Lu Ke, feeling a mix of emotions.
Even if Lu Ke had beaten Liu Kunsheng, he hadn't been too concerned. After all, Deng Youfu's cultivation couldn't fully harness the power of a family spirit. He acknowledged Lu Ke's talent, but never imagined he would lose to a teenager under twenty.
But the reality was shocking.
Without even a physical confrontation, using some unknown pressure technique, Lu Ke had forced both him and Wang Ai to kneel, leaving them powerless to resist.
"At this point, can't you say something nice?"
Lu Ke lifted his chin slightly, showing a hint of disgust.
This wasn't the response he wanted, so he applied a bit more pressure.
Wang Ai felt a tremendous force pressing down, trying to crush him into the ground. He struggled with all his might, pain flooding his body, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.
A piercing scream erupted from Wang Ai's throat as his head was forced lower, his neck stretched to its limits, the pain increasing exponentially.
"AAAAAAH!"
Startled by the blood-curdling scream, Lu Ke instinctively applied more force.
Crack—
The sound of bones breaking echoed clearly, and Wang Ai's neck went limp. He was then fully pressed to the ground, only able to gasp for breath.
"Bro..."
Zhang Chulan's legs were almost giving out, his voice tinged with fear. He wasn't as fearless as Lu Ke.
Ever since his identity as a qi body source inheritor became known, he had faced endless difficulties. Now, by offending two Elders, he might be stuck on Dragon Tiger Mountain forever.
"Please go easy, I'm scared."
These were the Elders!
The pinnacle of power in the paranormal world!
His vision was starting to blur, and he was beginning to regret involving Lu Ke.
Lu Ke, understanding the gravity, lifted his foot. This was Dragon Tiger Mountain, after all. If an Elder died here, even someone as powerful as the Great Heavenly Master would face significant trouble.
But it wasn't a big issue. Once the Great Heavenly Sacrifice was over, he could change his appearance and eliminate Wang Ai, taking his grandson with him. If there were more scoundrels in the Wang family, he'd clean them out too.
Transformation and clone techniques were perfect for such situations.
One for disguise, the other for an alibi. Perfect!
Additionally, he thought the Naruto version of Lu Ke was slacking off. After so long, he had only learned the Triple Body Technique and was always studying ghost techniques. He should focus more on the abilities of his own world!
"Lu Ke, I give up, I admit defeat."
Luk glanced at Lu Ci, who was kneeling with little resistance, and was somewhat surprised by his words.
"I won't hold you accountable for what you did to me. If you want any compensation, just let me know, and I'll do everything in my power to make it right."
"As for Zhang Chulan, I won't pursue him anymore."
"If you wish, my family will avoid you from now on."
Luk looked at Lu Ci with a newfound respect and examined the pressure he felt from the terrifying pressure that was lifted, he took a few deep breaths and glanced at Wang Ai, who was lying on the ground, barely breathing.
"However, I still advise you to let Wang Ai off."
Luk had no intention of the letting the pressure off. "Give me a reason."
Lu Ci pointed upwards and said solemnly, "The Ten Elders are not just symbols of power in the paranormal world; they are also approved by the company to manage paranormals. If he dies here in the Celestial Master's Mansion, the company will certainly investigate. Both you and the old Celestial Master will be held responsible."
"I know Zhang Chulan is with the company, but in a matter this serious, the company won't protect him, no matter how well he gets along with the local authorities."
Zhang Chulan nodded vigorously, looking at Luk hopefully.
"Fine, I'm not unreasonable." Luk feigned reluctance. "But Wang Ai's words have caused the worst of the worst, what should we settle this?"
Lu Ci's gaze shifted between the half-dead Wang Ai and Luk, whose clothes remained perfectly crease-free. He nodded in agreement.
"Let him compensate you."
"I think the Spirit Summoning technique can can can advanced to accept," Lu Gong?"
"Lu Gong's Soul Illumination technique isn't advanced enough to read memories freely, but he can verify the authenticity of the spirit summoned by that Wang Ai hands over."
Lu Ci approached the unconscious Lu Gong, using his qi to wake him up. Luk also moved to Wang Ai and began healing him with Daoist techniques.
A few seconds later, Wang Ai, who had been on the brink of death, regained consciousness and was just barely able to move. He opened his eyes and, upon seeing Luk, immediately started cursing.
"Little bastard, I'll cut you into a thousand pieces and leave no trace of your existence!"
"My family will cut the compensation! Everyone will scream in the most gruesome ways you can imagine!"
This old dog's mouth is filth. I hope he learns some manners when he invades his family family.
Luk smiled and kicked him stomach.

With a dull thud, Wang Ai spat out a large mouthful blood, feeling as if his intest pressure his pressure he intest you the

"Old Master Wang, could you please recite the Spirit Summoning Technique?"
"Spit!" never!
Crack—
"!1000 minus 7 equals what?"
