Chapter 241"Not good!" Sensing the sharpness of the old doctor's sword aura, the hooked-nose elder's heart filled with alarm. The sword aura came too quickly and too suddenly, leaving him no time to react. He could only watch helplessly as the sword aura slashed toward him. Fortunately, at the critical moment, a burst of blood light emerged from his body, meeting the sword aura. Thud! With a muffled sound, the blood light was dispersed, but it managed to block the sword aura. Only a shallow wound was left on his body. "Ah!" However, while the hooked-nose elder had a protective treasure, the figure in the black robe beside him was not as lucky. The old doctor's sword aura was unparalleled in sharpness. Although he had been cautious, he still couldn't completely avoid it. As the sword aura passed, an arm fell from the figure in the black robe. "Junior Brother! Are you alright?" The hooked-nose elder quickly sealed the acupuncture points of the black-robed figure's severed arm, stopping the bleeding. "My hand!" The figure in the black robe stared at his severed hand, his eyes filled with rage. He hadn't expected that despite being extremely vigilant, he couldn't dodge the old man's sword aura and lost an arm. It's known that although the Precelestial Realm is powerful, it doesn't have the ability to regenerate severed limbs. Losing an arm meant he would be disabled for the rest of his life. "No worries, after we kill them, I'll reattach your arm," the hooked-nose elder said. "Hmm?" Seeing the blood light on the hooked-nose elder's body blocking his master's prepared sword aura, Lu Qing's expression changed slightly. Just then, a few lines of text appeared in his vision. [Wu Yuan: Supreme Elder of the Flowing Cloud Sect, ruthless and extremely selfish.] [Cultivation: Small Success in the Precelestial Realm, one step away from Great Success, water-attribute Precelestial True Qi.] [Once discovered an ancient evil cultivator's cave mansion with his junior brother and obtained the inheritance of the evil cultivation.] [Possesses a broken ancient magic weapon, the Blood Soul Banner.] "Blood Soul Banner?" Seeing the information about the hooked-nose elder, Lu Qing was slightly shocked. This old guy had a magic weapon, and it seemed he could use it, no wonder he could block his master's sword aura. But it was unclear how much of the magic weapon's power he could wield. This also explained why the Flowing Cloud Sect could set up the Blood Refining Soul Formation; they had obtained the inheritance of ancient evil cultivation. ɽ????ΝȏꞖÈ???? "What a powerful sword aura!" After slightly treating his junior brother's injury, the hooked-nose elder looked at the old doctor with no more disdain, only fear. Although his junior brother had warned him about the old man's profound swordsmanship and terrifying sword aura, he hadn't paid much attention. But the old doctor's previous sword strike made him realize that the old man's swordsmanship was indeed at a highly advanced level. Without the automatic protection of the Blood Soul Banner, he might have been seriously injured by that sword strike. "Master, this person seems to possess a magic treasure, you must be careful," Lu Qing softly reminded. "Mm." The old doctor nodded lightly. He also felt a sense of dread when the red light appeared, indicating it was something extremely evil and terrifying. However, since the old doctor hadn't concealed the Precelestial Domain, the hooked-nose elder heard Lu Qing's words. Narrowing his eyes, the elder glared at Lu Qing. "Kid, you seem to know a lot. You destroyed my formation nodes with your arrows earlier, didn't you? Who exactly are you?" Lu Qing ignored his words and turned to the sword-wielding man. "Senior, my master and I will hold these two off. You go rescue the surviving comrades from Yun State." "Me, rescue them?" The sword-wielding man was stunned. "Young Master, how about I and your master fight these two demons, and you go rescue them?" It wasn't that the sword-wielding man looked down on Lu Qing, but Lu Qing was still too young. The opponents were two strong practitioners of the Small Success in the Precelestial Realm. Moreover, the Mo Hu brothers had clearly obtained some evil cultivation secret methods, greatly increasing their power. Even he wasn't confident he could defeat them. "No worries, one half-disabled Precelestial cultivator can't harm me. Senior, you should go. As a stranger, the Yun State seniors may not trust me to rescue them, which could cause complications. It's better if you go," Lu Qing explained. The sword-wielding man thought for a moment and realized Lu Qing made sense. If he were in a dangerous situation and suddenly a young stranger appeared, claiming to rescue him, he would also find it hard to believe. "But..." The thought of Lu Qing facing the Mo Hu brothers made the sword-wielding man hesitant. "No buts. That's settled. Senior, wait for the right moment to break through." Lu Qing interrupted him. "Alright, alright!" The hooked-nose elder on the rooftop laughed angrily, seeing Lu Qing ignoring him and discussing their escape plans right in front of them. The figure in the black robe beside him trembled with rage. Lu Qing's words clearly showed he didn't take him seriously at all. Calling him half-disabled was like slapping him in the face! He decided to personally sever all of Lu Qing's limbs to show him what true disability was! "Senior, prepare to break through!" S~eaʀᴄh the NôᴠelFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Sensing the emotional fluctuations of the hooked-nose elder and his companion, Lu Qing shouted. He swiftly grabbed a handful of arrows and rapidly fired them. Seven sharp arrows flew in a mysterious trajectory, connected to each other, towards the hooked-nose elder. Archery Secret Technique: Seven Stars in a Row! This was a move Lu Qing created after comprehending the realm of 'Intention.' Its power was immense, one of his strongest archery techniques. Having cooperated with Lu Qing in breaking the formation, the sword-wielding man trusted him deeply. Hearing his shout, he immediately dashed towards the tallest building in town. His Precelestial senses had long told him that his disciples and sect leader were there. "Petty tricks. Do you think you can escape?" The hooked-nose elder was surprised by the power of Lu Qing's arrows but showed a trace of disdain. Blood light surged from his body, rolling forward to destroy the seven arrows. At the same time, he pointed, and a streak of blood light shot towards the sword-wielding man. Lu Qing smiled. "My archery isn't that easy to break." With a thought, the seven arrows, about to be engulfed by the red light, changed their trajectory as if alive. They curved in a mysterious arc, bypassing the hooked-nose elder and heading towards the black-robed figure. Lu Qing's target was not the protected hooked-nose elder but the one-armed black-robed figure who hadn't recovered his strength. "What?!" The black-robed figure, originally standing a few steps behind the hooked-nose elder, was shocked. He didn't expect Lu Qing's arrows to bypass his senior brother and come at him. However, he was a strong practitioner of the Small Success in the Precelestial Realm. Even though he was severely injured, his reaction was still swift. He swung his staff, creating a protective black light. Amid the black light, the sound of clashing echoed as Lu Qing's arrows were deflected. But with one arm missing, his single-handed defense wasn't as effective as a two-handed one. Though he deflected six arrows, one still pierced through, grazing his shoulder and drawing blood. Thud! At the same time, the blood light shot by the hooked-nose elder towards the sword-wielding man was slashed apart by the old doctor's sword aura. "Young Master's archery is truly astonishing." The sword-wielding man, although breaking through, kept an eye on the situation behind. Seeing Lu Qing injuring the black-robed figure, he was amazed. "However, the Young Master excels in archery. His long-range attacks are strong, but close combat is difficult. If the Mo Hu brothers get close, it will be dangerous. I must rescue the people quickly and go help him!" The sword-wielding man, resolute, sped towards the tavern. "Zhen, retreat!" The black-robed figure, seeing his senior brother's blood light fail to stop the sword-wielding man, changed his expression and shouted, his voice shaking the entire town. "Kid, you've really angered me." The hooked-nose elder, realizing Lu Qing had tricked him, wore a dark expression. "I wanted to play with you for a bit, but now, you'll all die!" Suddenly, a blood-red banner emerged from his body, rapidly enlarging and falling into his hand. Thud! With the blood-red banner in hand, the hooked-nose elder landed on the ground and thrust it down heavily. A deep muffled sound rang out, and dense blood light surged from the banner, expanding in all directions towards Lu Qing and his master. Its speed was so fast that even Lu Qing was surprised. "A Qing, retreat!" The old doctor shouted softly, grabbed Lu Qing's shoulder, and threw him out. Caught off guard, Lu Qing used the momentum to flip in the air. When he landed, he found the area ahead covered in blood light. The range was over a hundred meters. He stood at the edge of the blood light, while his master was enveloped within it. "Master!" Lu Qing called out anxiously. "No worries, this blood light can't harm me. But you mustn't come in. This blood light seems to confuse the mind and corrode the flesh. Without Precelestial True Qi, it's hard to resist. I'll come out after I kill this demon." The old doctor's calm voice came from within the blood light. "Be careful, Master." Hearing his master's firm tone, Lu Qing had no choice but to respond. He knew his master was truly enraged this time and wouldn't rest until he killed the hooked-nose elder. Fortunately, Lu Qing had already used his ability to examine the Blood Soul Banner. The magic weapon was just a defective product, not even half its power restored. It wasn't a significant threat to his master. Moreover, his master possessed the Light of Merit, which was a nemesis to such evil magic weapons. The blood light wouldn't harm him. Also, Lu Qing wanted to see how powerful his master could be when truly angry. Normally, his master rarely fought. Occasionally, he sparred with Wei Shanhai but surrendered after a few moves, never fighting seriously. So, even though Lu Qing knew his master's realm and trump cards, he had never seen his master unleash his full power. "If Master can't win, then I'll step in." Lu Qing's thoughts lingered on the Qi Bag at his waist. After this period of refinement and spiritual energy absorption, the ancient spiritual artifact had restored some of its power. "Boastful! In my Blood Light Domain, you dare speak so arrogantly? Old man, I'll see if you have the ability to kill me!" The hooked-nose elder's voice came from the blood light. Then, powerful energy fluctuations spread from within, indicating the two top experts were already fighting. "Master hasn't been suppressed." Sensing his master's undiminished presence, Lu Qing relaxed. He knew his master still had cards to play, so winning shouldn't be difficult. "My master has experienced too few battles. This fight can be a form of training for him," Lu Qing thought. "Kid, you're not even in the Precelestial Realm!" "Now that your master is trapped in my Blood Light Domain, let's see who can protect you!" As Lu Qing's thoughts turned, a sinister voice sounded from behind. He turned and smiled. "Almost forgot about you, cripple. But I'm surprised you didn't attack me sneakily." "Kid, you're courting death!" The black-robed figure, angered by Lu Qing's taunts, roared. His staff turned into a black shadow, swiftly striking towards Lu Qing's chest. He hadn't attacked sneakily, not out of honor, but because he was now only a meter away from Lu Qing. At such a close distance, Lu Qing's archery couldn't be effective. Moreover, hearing that Lu Qing wasn't in the Precelestial Realm made him look down on him even more. Confident of victory, he didn't bother with a sneak attack. He just wanted to destroy this arrogant kid with the most brutal means. "Good timing!" Facing the black-robed figure's attack, Lu Qing lowered his body slightly, a faint yellow light flashing on him. He didn't dodge but directly punched forward with his empty right hand. "Is this kid crazy, trying to block my weapon with his flesh and blood?" Seeing Lu Qing's bare hand punch towards his staff, the black-robed figure was puzzled. Then, the next moment, his puzzlement turned to shock. Boom! As Lu Qing's fist struck the staff, a powerful force erupted, sending white mist spiraling out. The black-robed figure felt an irresistible force from the staff. Despite his Precelestial cultivation, he couldn't suppress it and staggered back. The staff in his hand vibrated violently, breaking his grip and almost making him lose hold. "Impossible?!" After retreating over ten steps, the black-robed figure steadied himself. His gaze at Lu Qing was filled with disbelief. Table of content
