Chapter 619: Chapter 409: Body and Spirit Annihilated, Impossible to Predict
“Young Master, don’t be careless; be wary of his counterattack!
Even if a Golden Core Realm person’s head is destroyed, they won’t die immediately!”
As Lu Qing decapitated the head of the white-robed youth, the warning from “Yan” echoed in his mind.
Before the words could completely fall, a powerful Divine Soul fluctuation burst from the body of the white-robed youth.
A torrent of Divine Soul surged toward Lu Qing.
At the same time, a phantom appeared, lunging at Lu Qing’s Forehead Acupoint; it was the Divine Soul of the white-robed youth.
“Watch out!”
In the alarmed cries of “Yan,” the Divine Soul of the white-robed youth was about to strike Lu Qing’s Forehead Acupoint.
A golden light emerged from Lu Qing, forming the phantom of a vestment robe, blocking the white-robed youth’s Divine Soul.
“Merit Secret Technique? Break for me!”
The face of the phantom of the white-robed youth twisted, emitting piercing screams of the Divine Soul, attempting to break through the defense of the Merit Robe.
But in the next moment, with a hum, the phantom of an ancient Big Cauldron appeared, completely shielding Lu Qing.
The mighty suppressive force fell on the white-robed youth’s phantom, and with one shake, it twisted and dissipated.
“No!!”
Panic filled the eyes of the white-robed youth’s phantom as he desperately tried to maintain his form.
But ultimately, he could not resist the power of the Leaving Fire Tripod and completely vanished.
“Trying to seize my body?”
Upon seeing the white-robed youth’s Divine Soul completely dissipate, Lu Qing’s face remained calm as he shook his head.
Not to mention, he was protected by the Merit Robe and Leaving Fire Tripod, making soul attacks ineffective against him.
Even if something did intrude into his Forehead Acupoint, with the Earth Spirit Pearl and Divine Soul Talisman in place, he was confident that no cultivator below the Primordial Spirit Realm could seize his body.
“It actually succeeded!”
The figure of “Yan” appeared at Lu Qing’s side, murmuring as it gazed at the lifeless corpse of the white-robed youth.
It couldn’t believe that Lu Qing had truly succeeded in severing a Golden Core Realm opponent.
Although “Yan” had helped, this white-robed person evidently wasn’t just any Golden Core Realm cultivator.
To reverse the fate of a Foundation Establishment perfection state, defeating a Golden Core level cultivator, was unprecedented even in the Ancient Immortal Cultivation Era.
When Lu Qing had initially told it the plan, it thought it was too crazy.
Now, it was left completely astounded.
The scene where Lu Qing completely suppressed the white-robed youth was particularly shocking to its heart and spirit.
“So this is the power of Divine Skills, truly extraordinary and beyond comprehension,”
“Yan” thought to itself.
“Let’s go.”
Lu Qing activated his superpower, glanced a few times at the corpse of the white-robed youth to ensure he was truly dead, then reached out, grabbed the body, and tossed it into the Leaving Fire Tripod.
Immediately, he soared into the sky, a golden small boat appearing beneath his feet, heading towards Jiuli Village.
…
Just as Lu Qing was returning to the village,
In Central State, atop a famous mountain range.
A gray-robed man in secluded cultivation suddenly changed his facial expression dramatically.
He took out two broken Jade Tokens from his Storage Magical Artifact.
“My junior brother’s soul token has actually fractured?!”
The gray-robed man’s eyes were filled with disbelief as he stared at the broken Jade Tokens in his hand.
No matter how he sensed it, he could no longer feel a trace of his junior brother’s Divine Soul within the token.
This situation only suggested one possibility.
His junior brother had been utterly obliterated, both in spirit and form!
“What exactly happened?”
The gray-robed youth summoned a hexagram-shaped Magic Artifact, exhaled a breath of Primordial Qi onto it, and began to calculate.
However, moments later, his face paled once more.
For no matter how he calculated, the result was blurred.
Not only could he not deduce the murderer of his junior brother, but he couldn’t even determine the precise location of his death.
“Is it an Exotic Treasure shielding the cause and effect, or is this Heavenly Dao interfering with me?
Or could it be that the murderer is at a cultivation level far beyond mine?”
In an instant, the thoughts of the gray-robed man turned, making many conjectures.
He promptly dismissed the last hypothesis.
They had been in this Small World for a while and knew it had only recently revived.
In such a short period, it was impossible for someone of a level far exceeding his own to emerge.
If such a terrifying existence truly existed, it wouldn’t tolerate the tyrannical actions the two brothers had committed in Central State during this time.
Unless there was an existence far beyond his fear.
The remaining possibilities were the first two reasons.
“Is it the Exotic Treasure or the Will of this Heavenly Dao, or perhaps both?
Junior brother, I’ve long told you, don’t indulge in killing so recklessly.
Your fall this time might well be the result of all those sins you committed.”
The gray-robed man pondered.
After a while, he calmed his mind, resumed meditation, and returned to a cultivation state.
“Whatever the reason may be, rest assured, junior brother, I will avenge you.
If I can’t find the culprit, I will ensure all living creatures in this world accompany you to the grave!”
…
A streak of light tore through the sky, eventually landing in Jiuli Village.
“Master.” Lu Qing descended into the Half Mountain Small Courtyard.
“Ah Qing!”
“Young Master Lu!”
Seeing Lu Qing return safely, the elder doctor, Lin Zhirui, and others were overjoyed.
“Young Master Lu, what about that white-robed man?” Wei Shanhai hurriedly asked.
“I have already slain him,” Lu Qing replied straightforwardly.
“Slain?!”
Upon hearing this, everyone drew a sharp breath.
They had all seen the terror of the white-robed man firsthand.
His mere presence was enough to make their hearts and spirits tremble.
Even Lu Qing, whom they had always regarded as immensely strong, had been chased until he had to flee.
But now Lu Qing turned around and told them he had slain him?
For a moment, Lin Zhirui and the others doubted their ears.
“Yes.”
Lu Qing nodded, not bothering to explain how he had killed the white-robed youth.
Instead, he turned to the elder doctor and asked, “Master, how are the people in the village?”
The elder doctor’s expression darkened: “Most villagers are fine, but a few elders were too severely impacted in spirit and passed away.”
Lu Qing’s heart felt heavy, and he immediately asked, “What about Grandpa Zhang…?”
“Old Man Zhang is fine; Ah Qing, you regularly help him tend to his body, so his spirit is strong, only slightly disturbed and will recover with some care.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Qing sighed with relief.
Among all the villagers of Jiuli Village, he cared the most for Uncle Zhang.
Knowing he was alright, his heart relaxed a bit.
However, after relaxing, a feeling of killing intent rose within him.
The villagers of Jiuli Village had always treated him and Little Yan well, and so he always protected them.
This time, however, due to that white-robed man, several elders who could have lived out their days in peace were dead, making him filled with intense killing intent.
