Capítulo 988: Chapter 529: Slaying the Primordial Spirit Again, the Massacre Begins (Part 2)
In the end, even using the forbidden move of burning the Primordial Spirit, which is akin to mutual destruction, did not manage to kill Lu Qing, only severely injuring him.
For a moment, the Primordial Spirit realm individuals looked at Lu Qing as if they were looking at some monster.
A sense of disbelief mingled with deep wariness.
Some of the Primordial Spirit realm individuals even felt a surge of relief in their hearts.
Luckily, they hadn’t attacked Lu Qing earlier; otherwise, the dead body might have been theirs.
Lu Qing beheaded two Primordial Spirits; if the slaying of Lanhai Sect’s Supreme Elder was a surprise attack, catching the opponent off guard.
The battle with Mystic Sword was a head-on confrontation.
Almost with overwhelming force, he killed the opponent.
In other words, although his realm was still at the Golden Core level, his actual combat strength had completely stepped into the Primordial Spirit realm.
Some even began to doubt whether Lu Qing was genuinely at the Golden Core realm.
“Mystic Sword underestimated the situation.”
At the location of the Overlord Clan, Ba Chunqiu spoke slowly after a moment of silence.
“As a sword cultivator, he excels in speed and offense.
But because he feared the opponent’s physical power, worried he’d end up like elder Qiu, being ambushed and having his physical body exploded, he chose to evolve a Sword Light Formation to guard himself.
Yet in doing so, he limited himself and couldn’t leverage the true advantage of a sword cultivator.
As a result, when the cauldron-type Spiritual Artifact struck, he couldn’t dodge in time.
He ultimately was found at a loss, step after step.
Choosing short over long in fear, opting for defense, his defeat in this battle was deserved.”
The surrounding Primordial Spirit realm individuals heard this and remained silent.
They knew Ba Chunqiu was right.
Mystic Sword’s recent battle was indeed too conservative, not truly showcasing the combat style of a sword cultivator.
But deep down, if they had been in his place, they probably would have made the same choice as Mystic Sword.
The young man’s physical body was too terrifying, even stronger than their Primordial Spirit bodies.
If he ever got close, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Anyone would have to be wary.
“Mr. Chen…”
Qin Zheng and Ye Qingzhu, among others, watched this scene with a mix of shock and worry.
Shocked at yet another Primordial Spirit Great Power being slain by him, and worried because Lu Qing was now seriously injured; what would happen next, with so many Primordial Spirit Great Powers eyeing like tigers?
As for others at the Golden Core realm, there’s even less to say.
Looking at Lu Qing now, their eyes were filled with reverence.
No one expected that this person, already formidable in the secret realm, would become even more fierce upon coming out.
Even Primordial Spirit Great Powers have fallen at his hands.
People like Gongshu Yu from the Gongsu Family, who once had ill intentions towards Lu Qing, were extremely fortunate for not acting against him in the secret realm.
If they had, they would have likely been corpses in the secret realm.
As for those who did take action against Lu Qing, like the Lanhai Sect and Xuanyuan Sect’s Golden Core disciples, they’d long turned pale.
Looking at Lu Qing’s figure, they trembled as if seeing a demon.
Their hearts were filled with endless regret.
What kind of monster did they provoke back then!
“Primordial Spirit realm, indeed not easy to kill.”
In mid-air, Lu Qing was feeling a bit fearful.
Mystic Sword Elder’s final move truly surprised him.
At the cost of burning the Primordial Spirit, driving the Flying Sword to unleash an earth-shattering strike.
If it were anyone else, even a Primordial Spirit Great Power of the same level, at this distance they’d likely suffer, ending in mutual destruction.
It’s just that his Life Energy was powerful, even with a shattered head, he couldn’t die, enabling him to withstand this move.
With a thought, surging Life Energy flooded within him, and Lu Qing’s shattered half head quickly regrew.
In less than ten breaths, it was completely restored, with no signs of injury visible.
This sight left all the observers astounded once more.
He collected Mystic Sword Elder’s corpse, along with that small white sword.
Standing proudly in the air, looking at the other Primordial Spirit realm individuals, he said calmly, “Is there anyone else who wants to give pointers?”
Seeing Lu Qing’s injuries fully recovered, his aura not diminished at all.
The expressions of the Primordial Spirit realm individuals became even more solemn.
After killing two Primordial Spirit realm individuals consecutively, this one seemed without any exhaustion; just how powerful was his physical body?
And what kind of opportunity lay hidden in that secret realm to temper his body to such terrifying extents at the Golden Core realm?
“Respected seniors, this rogue has clearly fallen into the Demon Path, relentlessly striking, causing two of our Human Race’s Primordial Spirit Great Powers to fall at his hands.
His strange physical body bears a resemblance to some Demon Clan generals’ cultivation techniques.
As a junior, I suspect he is very likely a spy from the Demon Clan infiltrating our Human Race territory, here primarily to harm our elite.”
Amid the silence, a voice suddenly sounded.
Everyone immediately looked over and discovered the speaker was Gongshu Zheng, the newly ascended Primordial Spirit, and a recognized genius of the Gongsu Family.
“Cousin!”
Gongshu Yu and the others saw Gongshu Zheng stand out and became anxious.
This scary demon had slain someone like Mystic Sword Elder, a seasoned Primordial Spirit Great Power; why provoke him now?
But though they were anxious, Gongshu Yu and the others dared not dissent.
Gongshu Zheng’s temper was known; what he decided, they wouldn’t dare question.
“A Demon Clan spy?”
Upon hearing Gongshu Zheng’s words, the Primordial Spirit Great Powers were moved.
Even though they hadn’t sensed demonic energy on Lu Qing.
However, Lu Qing’s strangely powerful physical body was indeed similar to some of Demon Clan’s Devil Techniques.
More importantly, if it was determined Lu Qing was a Demon Clan spy, the nature of the matter would change completely.
For instance, they wouldn’t have to maintain appearances and could team up to slay the demon.
Realizing this, some Primordial Spirit realm individuals’ eyes began to flicker.
Soon, one Primordial Spirit realm individual stepped forward, “Indeed, this one’s cultivation technique is strange, resembling the cultivation of Demon Clan, and he declared himself an evil demon; there’s little doubt.”
“Mr. Qiu and Mystic Sword Daoist friend once repelled the Demon Clan on the front lines, heroes of our Human Race’s Righteous Path, yet this rogue harmed them; this is a grave crime, even if not Demon Clan, he must be captured and submitted to the Holy Alliance!” Another Primordial Spirit stepped forward and spoke.
“When dealing with such an evil demon, we can’t hesitate — all Daoist friends, let’s act together, Demon Clan’s cultivation methods are strange, lest he escapes.”
“Slaying demons and removing evil is our duty!”
As voices echoed, over ten Primordial Spirit Great Powers stepped forward, expressing intentions to suppress and kill Lu Qing.
Their emitted aura pressed toward Lu Qing.
Immediately, the wind and clouds changed color, where Lu Qing stood, Spiritual Energy surged, the space became unbearably heavy, attempting to suppress him completely.
“An evil demon, huh?”
Lu Qing felt the pressure on him, listening to the righteous-sounding words of those powerful figures.
Suddenly, he chuckled lightly, looking at Gongshu Zheng, “Your Gongsu Family just can’t change its nature, always resorting to the same tactics.”
Hearing this, Gongshu Zheng’s eyes narrowed sharply, “You really are…”
“Am I an evil demon?” Lu Qing said calmly, “I’ve already said before if you all like slaying demons that much, then today, let me be an evil demon.”
Having said this, he quietly exhibited the Small Divine Power of Great Strength, cultivated to perfection after closing off in the secret realm for a year.
Instantly, his already mountain-moving might multiplied several times.
The red flames burning upon him nearly solidified.
Boom!
His hands shook slightly, breaking free from the pressure imposed by the Primordial Spirit Great Powers.
Lu Qing lightly tapped, thunder erupted underfoot, and he vanished from his original spot.
“No way, how can his power still increase!”
“Quick, let’s act together and suppress this rogue!”
“Careful!”
Lu Qing’s sudden burst made the Primordial Spirit Great Powers’ faces change.
They immediately acted to suppress Lu Qing.
Yet it was already late.
Having exhibited the Great Strength Divine Skill, Lu Qing’s power reached an unimaginable level.
He burst forth with speed far exceeding anything before.
Before the Primordial Spirit Great Powers could act again, he appeared once more.
And this time, he appeared right at the location of the Gongsu Family.
