Chapter 436: Chapter 296: Misunderstanding and Settling Scores, Lu Qing’s Killing Intent!_2

“Is it you, you little beast?”

Among everyone present, Monk Xuan Nu was the most incredulous.

He could never have imagined that the one who had inflicted severe wounds on him again was the very same little beast who had killed his disciple and injured him just a few days ago.

In a moment of agitation, the Qi-Blood that he had originally sealed off with his strong will abruptly became chaotic, causing him to spout a mouthful of fresh blood and faint.

“Uncle Master Xuan Nu!”

A monk immediately cried out in alarm, rushing forward to take out an elixir, intending to administer it for healing.

Lu Qing did not stop him. Xuan Nu had been struck by his Sword Qi, and although he had just entered the Innate Realm and had not yet had time to cultivate his attribute-specific Innate True Qi,

with his realm in Saber Techniques, the condensed Sword Qi was not easily dissipated.

Temporarily ignoring Xuan Nu, Lu Qing looked indifferently toward Xuanming, “Monk Xuanming, your arrival is timely. I just have a score to settle with you.”

“Amidabha, I didn’t expect that after just a few days, Master Lu’s cultivation has deepened even further. Truly a young talent with heaven-sent abilities.

Just now, Xuan Nu acted rashly towards you— his mistake. I, on his behalf, apologize to you.”

Xuanming, after all, was no ordinary person. After a brief moment of shock, he quickly composed himself.

With palms pressed together, he bowed to Lu Qing.

Seeing Xuanming take such a humble stance, those who had never witnessed Lu Qing’s power were astonished.

Who was Xuanming? A legendary elder from Suspended Mountain, one of the Four Great Secret Realms! A real dragon, rarely seen.

Normally, even Sect Masters of the Major Sects in Central State would address him with respect!

Such a prominent figure was now displaying such a low stance before a young man.

What could this young man’s background possibly be?!

Faced with Monk Xuanming’s humble approach, Lu Qing remained unphased.

He spoke indifferently, “Monk Xuanming, you don’t need to pretend here. Tell me, were those assassins from Wujian Building a few nights ago sent by your Suspended Mountain?”

Upon hearing Lu Qing mention Wujian Building, a tremor went through the group of powerhouses.

In recent days, the news of the re-emergence of the Wujian Building had spread throughout Holy City. Listening to this young man, could this matter actually involve Suspended Mountain?

Those with shrewder minds began to connect the sudden mysterious appearance of Wujian Building and some unresolved matters they had been pondering.

Some, like Yangming Taoist, even looked distressed as they contemplated some dire possibilities.

“Amidabha, Master Lu jests. Wujian Building belongs to the Evil Path and was eradicated hundreds of years ago; it couldn’t possibly be related to our Suspended Mountain,” Xuanming responded calmly, his face showing no irregularities.

“It doesn’t matter whether you admit it or not,” Lu Qing chuckled lightly, “I have already learned the truth from those assassins.”

“Master Lu, although I don’t know the truth you speak of, I still would like to remind you.

The assassins trained by Wujian Building are often crazed and will stop at nothing to achieve their goals.

You better not fall for someone else’s scheme of causing discord.”

“There’s no harm; I don’t care whether they’re trying to incite discord or not. I only know there’s one thing I’ve long wanted to do.”

At this, Lu Qing suddenly flashed a brilliant smile.

Seeing Lu Qing’s smile, a powerful sense of crisis surged in Xuanming’s heart.

However, before he could contemplate further, he saw Lu Qing whisper his final words, “And that is… to kill all of you!”

Instantly, his figure vanished from the spot.

“This is bad, set up the formation!”

Xuanming’s sense of crisis reached its peak.

He shouted loudly while throwing out a golden bowl.

The bowl grew as soon as it caught the wind, instantly turning the size of a water cistern and emitting a faint golden light, blocking in front of the monks.

However, the next moment, Lu Qing appeared, holding a long saber that appeared out of nowhere and struck the golden bowl without any fancy moves.

Bang!

A powerful burst of energy erupted, and under Lu Qing’s terrifying force, the golden bowl was directly flung away.

After deflecting the golden bowl, Lu Qing made a sweeping motion, and a sharp, unmatched arc of Sword Qi swiftly slashed forward.

“Get out of the way!”

Seeing Lu Qing’s Sword Qi approaching, the monks of Suspended Mountain were filled with terror, the fate of Monk Xuan Nu was still vivid in their minds.

Even Monk Xuan Nu, who had achieved the Vajra Body, was severely injured by Lu Qing’s Sword Qi; how could they possibly resist?

Immediately, all the monks could no longer care about any formation, they all used their movement techniques, trying to dodge the Sword Qi.

But Lu Qing’s realm in Saber Technique was profound and inscrutable; how could his Sword Qi be easily dodged?

A series of screams followed, and by the time the Sword Qi dissipated, apart from a few elders led by Xuanming, the rest of the monks from Suspended Mountain had all been bisected at the waist by Lu Qing’s Sword Qi!

“Ah! It hurts! It hurts! Elder, save me!”

“Elder, save my life! I don’t want to die!”

“Master, save me!”

…

The monks who were bisected did not die immediately.

They were rolling on the ground in pain, screaming continuously, asking Xuanming and others for help.

The scene was so gruesome that even the other strong witnesses felt chilled.

At this moment, even Monk Xuanming could no longer remain calm.

With an ashen face, he pinched a spell, and brought out a string of Buddha beads; in the next moment, the beads emitted streaks of golden light, falling on the bodies of the bisected monks.

Then, a miraculous scene unfolded—the wounds of those bisected monks were gradually stopped from bleeding, and they didn’t die immediately.

However, since Lu Qing had made a move, he naturally wouldn’t stop there.

His earlier banter with Xuanming was merely to familiarize himself with the newly acquired Innate Realm power.

Now seeing Xuanming trying to save people, he immediately lunged forward again.

But as Lu Qing moved, suddenly, a barrier of light fell from the sky, blocking in front of him.

It turned out to be the golden bowl that he had previously sent flying, which, unbeknownst to him, had appeared above Xuanming and the others, emitting streaks of golden light that enveloped them.

The surviving Suspended Mountain Elders also sat cross-legged on the ground, forming an array, using the Power of the Heart to drive the golden bowl.

Lu Qing casually swung his saber to strike, but found the light barrier to be extremely tough, much more so than when he had encountered it at Holy Mountain.

With his current strength, he couldn’t break through without going all out.

“No wonder it’s one of the Four Great Secret Places; there are many tricks, and it seems that when you fought with me that day, you still held back.”

Feeling the strength of the light barrier, Lu Qing couldn’t help but admire.

However, this praise, in the ears of Xuanming and others, sounded more like sarcasm.

Back then, they had used most of the golden bowl’s power to suppress and convert the elder doctor, giving Lu Qing an opportunity to break the golden light formation.

They didn’t expect to now be mocked by this junior.

At this moment, Xuanming no longer maintained his previous composure.

With a livid face, he stared at Lu Qing, “Master, your actions were overly ruthless, my Suspended Mountain disciples have never offended you, yet you resorted to such lethal measures; indeed, you have fallen into the Demon Path, and your actions no different from an Evil Demon!”

“Playing the blame game seems to be something you bald monks excel in.”

Lu Qing held his long saber, but didn’t want to waste time with verbal spats at this moment; he carefully observed the light barrier in front of him.

“But do you think, this turtle shell can protect you for long?”

After speaking, Lu Qing posed, focused his will, and a sharp Sword Qi began to condense on his saber.

As Lu Qing prepared his strike, a mighty aura emerged around him, the terrifying intent to kill directly caused the surrounding strong observers to change color.

They all felt that once Lu Qing delivered this strike, it would be earth-shattering!

As for Xuanming and the others inside the Golden Light Shield, they naturally felt the aura emanating from Lu Qing’s body.

However, Xuanming didn’t show any signs of panic.

Seeing that the bisected disciples had their injuries temporarily stopped by the light of the Buddha beads,

he retracted the beads and then took out an item from his chest, throwing it forward.

The item thrown out also expanded with the wind, turning out to be a three-foot-long, shiny golden Vajra Pestle.

The Vajra Pestle hovered in front of Xuanming, who sat cross-legged, stared fixedly at Lu Qing with undisguised murderous intent in his eyes.

“Little beast, since you have completely fallen into the Demon Path, I will no longer show mercy, prepare to die!”

After saying this, the Vajra Pestle in front of him shone brightly.
