Chapter 257: Chapter 188: Everyone Killed, Mindset Changed_2

“Run, Young Master, run!”

The guard had felt something was wrong the moment Lu Qing spoke the first word, and by the time Lu Qing uttered the word “dead,” he hadn’t hesitated at all to make a decision.

He suddenly pushed Second Young Master Zheng behind him with a gentle force.

At the same time, his right hand reached to his waist, drawing a short knife,

While he himself held a shield, using his left shoulder as a pivot, integrated with the shield, he charged at Lu Qing with fierce bravery.

He wanted to push Lu Qing away to buy his Young Master time to escape.

However, his plan was far too optimistic.

Facing the imposing shield coming at him fiercely like a battering ram, Lu Qing didn’t flinch or dodge; his fingers splayed, his palm drew a circular arc, pressing down on the shield with the force of a mountain.

Boom!

Under the overwhelming force, the Hundred-Refinement steel shield shattered into pieces, and the Zheng Family Guard hidden behind it vomited blood wildly, his bones breaking more than he could count.

How could he be so strong?!

After just one move, nearly disabled, the Zheng Family Guard sat collapsed on the ground, his face filled with despair.

Lu Qing’s strength was beyond his imagination, even the Martial Arts Grandmasters in the residence weren’t nearly as oppressively powerful as this!

Who was this mysterious figure, and since when did such a fearsome Martial Arts Expert appear in Cang State?

“Your loyalty is commendable, but unfortunately, the person you’re protecting is scum.”

Lu Qing looked at the severely injured guard, shook his head, and said.

His feet didn’t stop moving; he stepped past the guard towards Second Young Master Zheng, who was too frightened and weak-kneed to run.

“No, don’t kill me, please, I beg you, don’t kill me! If you kill me, my Zheng Family will never let you go; my father will definitely not let you go!”

Seeing Lu Qing approaching, the already terrified Second Young Master Zheng screamed frantically.

“Esteemed sir, we really have nothing to do with this village; please, in consideration of the Zheng Family’s face, spare our Young Master. We swear, once we return, we will not leak a word about what happened today!”

The Zheng Family Guard, enduring his pain, spoke with difficulty.

“Do you think I want to kill this trash just to silence him?”

Lu Qing stopped, turned, and asked strangely.

The Zheng Family Guard was taken aback; aside from that reason, he couldn’t think of any other motives.

“Really, you who come from a great family, regard human life as mere grass. To tell you the truth, I want to kill him not for any other reason, but merely to seek justice for those girls he tortured to death.”

The guard’s eyes suddenly widened, as if he had finally realized something.

However, the next moment, he saw a pebble being flicked from Lu Qing’s hand.

Then, his Young Master’s head burst open like a rotten watermelon.

“Young Master!”

The Zheng Family Guard cried out in agony.

“I was going to spare your life, but your words just now enlightened me.”

Casually having killed Second Young Master Zheng, Lu Qing turned around.

“This scum who humiliated and murdered those girls, you were there too, weren’t you?”

“Your Excellency, it’s because of those brothel women that you harbored the intention to kill my Young Master?” the Zheng Family Guard asked blankly.

“Exactly, isn’t that reason enough?”

The Zheng Family Guard fell silent.

He wanted to say, no, of course not!

Those lowly people, being so humble in status, even a thousand, ten thousand of them combined could never compare to the nobility of their Young Master!

But he also knew, since Lu Qing asked this way, obviously, in his mind, this reason was already sufficient.

So, he could only remain silent.

However, although he didn’t speak, Lu Qing discerned the answer he wanted from his expression.

He sneered, “It seems just as I thought; well then, you too go and accompany your Young Master.”

A swishing sound was heard as another pebble was flicked by Lu Qing, directly aiming for the guard’s head.

Puff!

A muffled sound, a blood hole appeared in the center of the Zheng Family Guard’s forehead, his body shook, his eyes gradually dimmed, and then he fell heavily to the ground, his life essence fading away.

Having dealt with the guard, Lu Qing didn’t linger and slowly walked towards the building.

As he passed the corpse of an Internal Organ Realm assassin who had tried to ambush him, he suddenly kicked the corpse’s temple.

The body that should have been dead suddenly opened its eyes.

Full of disbelief, as if unable to believe that his disguise had been so easily seen through by Lu Qing.

Lu Qing remained calm.

Although the assassin had mastered the art of feigning death to a profound degree,

it was all too obvious under his Divine Soul Sensing, not to mention he also possessed Superpower.

Even someone from the Innate Realm could not hide their aura from him, let alone a mere Martial Artist from the Internal Organ Realm.

After killing the feigning man, Lu Qing took his time walking towards the building.

All the Martial Artists from the Internal Organ Realm in the entire village had been killed by him.

But he still did not plan to spare the remaining members of the Seven Killings Tower.

The slaughter continued.

Two quarters of an hour later, when Lu Qing left Yuan Yang Village,

the entire village was already littered with corpses.

All the Seven Killings Tower assassins staying in the village had been found under his Divine Soul Sensing and killed.

Among some of the visitors seeking pleasure, those who he found were utterly evil were also killed by him.

He even found a treasure vault and raided it with great pleasure.

After doing all this, Lu Qing left without any hesitation.

As for the remaining people in the village, like those women sold into servitude, if they weren’t foolish, they should have fled earlier.

Lu Qing had helped them by breaking the den of iniquity; that was already helping.

The rest was up to their own luck.

“Indeed, my heart has truly become much colder.”

On the hillside, watching the frantic crowd fleeing the village, Lu Qing showed a self-mocking expression.

If it had been him when he first came to this world, he probably would have tried to find a safe place for those pitiful women,

just as he had done at Happy Village.

But now, watching the panicked crowd below, his heart didn’t fluctuate much.

Because he knew, such things were all too common in this world.

The ways of the world were such that he alone could hardly change anything, could he?

“After all, my power is still too weak.”

“Only those with little power have to consider and weigh every action meticulously.”

“If I had the strength to stand alone atop the world, I could do anything I wish, follow my will without fearing anyone’s opinions.”

With a distant look, Lu Qing gazed at the stars above.

The next moment, his figure had vanished from the spot.

Several quarters of an hour later, Lu Qing stopped in a mountain hollow.

“Indeed, without the boost from the Earth Element Talisman, traveling indeed requires much more physical effort.”

Lu Qing’s Heart and Spirit sank into the space between his eyebrows.

The yellow glow that represented the Earth Element Talisman had disappeared.

Just now, after he had hurried along for more than two hundred miles, the Magic Talisman’s power was completely exhausted by Lu Qing.

Without the support of talisman power, his body became “heavy” again, and naturally, he could no longer move as nimbly and swiftly.

“Indeed, it’s easy to slip into luxury from frugality, but difficult to revert back.” Lu Qing sighed.

Accustomed to the lightness and speed of traveling under the support of the Earth Element Talisman, he felt quite uneasy returning to the sluggish pace of using his own legs.

He looked around, found a dry big stone, and sat down on it.

After Concentrating and calming himself, he formed a Seal Technique with both hands and began to refine talismans.

With a successful experience prior, this time refining the Earth Element Talisman took even less time; less than a quarter of an hour, and it was done.

With a slight movement of the spell, he stored the Earth Element Talisman back into the space of the talisman between his eyebrows.

“Looking at” the Earth Element Talisman turning into a glow, Lu Qing showed a faint smile of satisfaction.

It’s not that he didn’t want to gather several Earth Element Talismans for emergencies.

But with his current strength of Divine Soul, there were limits to the Divine Soul Talisman.

At a time, he could only accommodate no more than five Magic Talismans, and for talismans of the same attribute, only one could be stored.

If he wished to store and control more talismans, unless his Divine Soul Power broke through, it would not be possible.

Feeling the glow in the cavity, Lu Qing’s will flickered, and that strange power reappeared, making his body light again.

With a small smile, he exerted force with his legs, once again heading towards home.
