Chapter 616: Chapter 406: Collision, Battle Golden Core!
“What is that?”
Lu Qing awoke abruptly from his cultivation state, sensing an extremely dangerous aura.
Without hesitation, he rushed out of the house and looked in the direction from which the aura emanated.
Then he saw, not far from the village, in the sky, a figure hovering in mid-air.
A gigantic Mana Palm was slightly clenched in front of them, with a pool of red in its palm.
“Golden Core Realm, finally here.”
Feeling the terrifying aura emitted by that figure combined with the news brought by Lin Zhirui a while ago,
Lu Qing immediately realized who the visitor was.
It was one of the mysterious experts from the Central State.
Although he didn’t know how the other party had found this place, Lu Qing knew things had gotten complicated.
“Who is that?”
“Such a terrifying aura!”
The elder doctor and Wei Shanhai, among others in the Half Mountain Small Courtyard and the Wei Family’s detached house, also sensed the aura of the white-robed youth in the sky, their complexions changed dramatically.
Especially Lin Zhirui, whose face turned incomparably ugly in an instant: “It’s one of those two mysterious experts! How did they appear here?”
“Roar!”
In one courtyard, Little Li’s fur stood on end as it instantly positioned itself in front of Little Yan, who was playing with Mrs. Wei, guarding both behind it while intensely watching the sky.
“Hmm?”
At the moment Lu Qing saw him, the white-robed youth also sensed something.
His head turned toward the direction of Jiuli Village.
He was slightly taken aback.
“Such a remote place, yet a village with such dense Spiritual Energy? No, it’s an Array!”
Given the white-robed youth’s realm, he could see through the reality of Jiuli Village with a single glance.
The seemingly small rural village was actually protected by an Array.
At the same time, his gaze pierced through the Array’s cover, seeing Lu Qing standing in the courtyard.
“Perfect Foundation Establishment?” The white-robed youth’s eyes lit up, a cruel smile appearing on his face, “Kid, it must be you who took the treasure from the secret realm. Hand it over!”
After speaking, he stretched out a hand, and the Mana Palm originally floating in front of him immediately reached for Jiuli Village, swelling swiftly.
By the time it flew over Jiuli Village, it had grown more than tenfold, fully shrouding the entire village.
The enormous shadow plunged the whole village into darkness.
“What’s going on? Why did it suddenly get dark?”
The villagers of Jiuli Village were puzzled, raising their heads to look at the sky.
“Not good!”
In the courtyard, Lu Qing felt the terrifying force emanating from the giant palm and immediately judged that the Array he had set would never withstand such a dreadful blow.
Without thinking, he willed a long saber to appear in his hand.
Then, with a step, the courtyard, empowered by Array Power, sank beneath his foot.
His body, as if teleporting, shot up into the sky to meet the descending Mana Giant Palm.
“Break for me!”
Light radiated from Lu Qing’s entire body; in an instant, the power of Spirit Talismans stored in his Forehead Acupoint, augmented his person.
Under the urging of his Heart and Spirit, a colossal, matchless saber glow sliced across the sky, rushing to intercept the Mana Giant Palm.
Swoosh!
The saber, forged from Outer Heaven Fallen Iron, unleashed a razor-sharp saber glow.
Coupled with Lu Qing’s Physical Body Power comparable to the Golden Core Realm and the augmentation of several Spirit Talismans,
the layered strengths together reached an astonishing level of power in the saber glow.
The massive Mana Palm was split in two with a single strike, torn apart!
Boom!
The Mana Palm shattered, releasing the mana it contained, causing layered explosions.
A Golden Small Boat appeared beneath Lu Qing’s feet, while a faint red light emanated from his body, shielding him from the explosion’s mana, standing unwavering in the air.
Yet the village below, Jiuli Village, was nearly caught in the blast of mana.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, a Light Screen Array Formation activated; shaky as it was, it ultimately blocked the explosion.
“Phew!”
The elder doctor on the Half Mountain Small Courtyard exhaled a turbid breath, sweat seeping from his forehead, his face heavy with gravity.
He hadn’t expected the visitor to be so powerful.
The mere residuals of the spell nearly prevented him from maintaining the Array.
“Ah Qing…”
He looked up at Lu Qing in the sky, eyes filled with concern.
This time the enemy was truly too strong; even with his unwavering faith in his disciple, he couldn’t help but worry.
But the elder doctor also knew that in the current situation, he couldn’t help Lu Qing.
The only thing he could do was to do his utmost to maintain the Array, protecting the villagers.
“What?”
Not far away, the white-robed youth was astonished upon witnessing this scene.
He hadn’t expected his prized Daoist Skill to be broken so easily.
Though he hadn’t used his full strength just now, for a Perfect Foundation Establishment to break through his Ten Thousand Skill Palm, it felt absurd to him.
“Body Cultivation, interesting.”
After his initial shock, the white-robed youth quickly calmed down. He saw the Golden Flying Boat under Lu Qing’s feet and the Body Treasure Light emerging on him, showing delight.
“So it is you, little thief. I didn’t expect you to break through my Daoist Skill; indeed, you’re someone with potential.
Considering your bit of cultivation talent, I can offer you a path to survival.
Here’s the deal, turn over what you stole from the secret realm.
Simultaneously, offer your Divine Soul, serve me as your master, become my servant.
I can mercifully spare your life, how about it?”
Upon seeing Lu Qing’s prowess, the white-robed youth was in no rush to kill him.
“Serve you as my master, what a big talk. Just a mere Golden Core Realm, yet you dare speak so arrogantly, and not bother to take a look at yourself. Are you worthy?”
Lu Qing raised an eyebrow, speaking sarcastically.
“What did you say!”
The white-robed youth first froze, then was furious.
As a revered Golden Core cultivator, when had he ever been insulted face-to-face, let alone with such crude words?
Immediately, murderous intent surged to his mind.
The previous thought of recruiting Lu Qing vanished into thin air.
“You insolent ant, who disdains my kindness; I have changed my mind. I will extract your Divine Soul, turn it to wick, torment you for a hundred years, leaving you unable to live or die!”
Upon saying this, he waved a hand, another Mana Palm congealed before him, striking toward Lu Qing.
This Mana Palm was not as enormous as the previous one, only about ten zhang in size.
But it was much more refined, like glazed glass, with a circulation of green light on it.
The aura it emitted was even more menacing, and its speed increased sharply, in an instant reaching in front of Lu Qing.
Lu Qing’s eyes focused, and he swung his saber again.
Boom!
But this time, the saber glow he unleashed failed to break apart the giant palm.
Instead, the saber glow shattered, and Lu Qing, along with his saber, was struck by the Mana Palm, flung onto a small mountain beside Jiuli Village, collapsing half of the mountain.
“Ah Qing!”
“Young Master Lu!”
Seeing this scene left Lin Zhirui and the others utterly shocked.
