chapter 246boom! with a punch to his chest, a powerful force exploded, completely collapsing mo zhen's chest. he couldn't stabilize his body and was sent flying backward. pfft! mid-air, mo zhen couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. however, relying on his formidable blood demon body, he didn't die. the blood-colored energy within him circulated wildly, and his chest began to heal at a visible speed. but it wasn't over yet. seeing that mo zhen was about to escape his attack range, lu qing extended his hand again. a strange force appeared out of thin air, binding mo zhen's body and dragging him back. "this move again, what the hell is this?!" feeling that eerie power once more, mo zhen roared internally. just now, he had been bound by this invisible force, slowing his movements, which made him unable to block lu qing's punch. seaʀᴄh thё novёlƒire.n(e)t website on google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. knowing that if he were dragged back and fell into lu qing's battle rhythm, he would surely be defeated this time. mo zhen couldn't care about anything else and roared, releasing a powerful aura. a surge of blood energy emanated from him, instantly breaking the invisible force and regaining control of his body, stabilizing his stance. "kid, your power is indeed strange, but if you think you can defeat me with such tricks, you're too naive." mo zhen stood still, blood energy swirling around him, exuding a strong bloody smell. his scarlet eyes made him look like a demon, terrifying and horrifying. the strange binding force still surrounded him but no longer had much effect. his chest had fully healed, as if he hadn't been injured at all. such powerful recovery ability made the old doctor and the sword-wielding man watching from the mountain gate change their expressions. especially the sword-wielding man, who felt a shiver down his spine from the aura mo zhen emitted. "is that so?" lu qing smiled lightly, not trying to drag mo zhen back. he had only just mastered this new power a few days ago, and its current strength wasn't enough to fully deal with mo zhen, who was going all out. this was within his expectations. however, he was only testing his new power and didn't intend to use it alone to push a precelestial realm expert to the brink. since he had already gauged the limit of this move, there was no need to test it further. he withdrew the strange power and the yellow light emanating from his body, absorbing them back into his body. without the binding force, mo zhen immediately felt lighter. but he didn't feel relieved. instead, a sense of death loomed over him like a sharp thorn. the blood demon body might have clouded his mind, but it also granted him beast-like intuition. right now, his intuition told him that lu qing was more dangerous than before. he became more vigilant, not daring to attack rashly. at this moment, mo zhen no longer underestimated lu qing; he was filled with dread. this kid was too eerie, making him cautious. "i can see that your blood demon body is indeed remarkable." lu qing slightly adjusted his stance, raising a fist. a golden light flickered in the qi acupoint between his eyebrows, and the earth spirit bead began to rotate slowly. "now i can fight without holding back, without worrying about killing you instantly." as soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud explosion, and white mist erupted from the ground where lu qing had been standing. he appeared in front of mo zhen and punched him in the abdomen. "what?" feeling the intense pain in his abdomen, mo zhen's eyes widened, his body bent, and his heart was filled with shock. he hadn't expected to be hit even while on high alert. lu qing's speed was too fast. even without the strange binding force, he couldn't react in time to block lu qing's punch. "such fast movement!" even the old doctor and the sword-wielding man on the mountain gate were startled by lu qing's speed. taking advantage of his momentum, lu qing didn't hold back this time. he twisted his fist and punched again, the force of which was so powerful that it deformed mo zhen's head, making him dazed and unable to defend against lu qing's attacks. the ensuing moments were dominated by lu qing. his punches, heavy as battering rams, rained down on mo zhen like relentless waves. each punch not only twisted mo zhen's body but also shattered the air behind him. the turbulent airflow once again swept around them. the sword-wielding man watched in shock from the mountain gate. he couldn't believe that mo zhen, who had made his heart race moments ago, was now being crushed by lu qing. this was no longer a battle; it was a one-sided beating. mo zhen couldn't fight back or even block lu qing's attacks. lu qing's assault lasted for ten full breaths before he stopped. when the airflow settled and everything calmed down, what lay before him was a mangled mo zhen, barely recognizable. the only discernible feature was his head. despite not being dead, mo zhen had a faint breath left. seeing the tentacles growing from his body, squirming as if trying to rebuild his body, lu qing said coldly, "don't waste your energy. even if your blood demon body was perfected, you couldn't recover in front of me." the mass of flesh trembled and stopped moving. the head lifted slightly as if wanting to ask something. but he was too far gone to speak or send any soul waves. lu qing seemed to know his thoughts and said, "your realm is too low. you have the strength of the precelestial realm but don't know how to use it. your control over your body is too poor. how could you withstand my punches? but you're stronger than your grandfather. he couldn't endure my punches for even three breaths." the mass of flesh trembled again. lu qing didn't waste more words and lightly tapped mo zhen's brow with his toe, extinguishing the last trace of consciousness. with his consciousness gone, mo zhen's body shuddered violently and went lifeless. "young master!" at this moment, the old doctor and the sword-wielding man descended from the mountain gate, approaching lu qing. "young master, i didn't expect your punches to be so powerful. mo zhen's strength is not inferior to the precelestial realm's small success stage, yet he was completely suppressed by you without even touching a hair on your head." the sword-wielding man looked at lu qing in amazement. "senior yan, you're too kind," lu qing smiled. "mo zhen's strength came from practicing evil arts. he has power but lacks realm, unable to fully use it. he can't compare to a true precelestial realm small success stage expert. even if you fought him, you'd easily cut him down." "that's not true. mo zhen's evil arts are indeed formidable. i'm afraid i couldn't withstand him," the sword-wielding man shook his head. he had felt the oppressive aura from mo zhen earlier. that feeling told him that if he had fought, he might not have been able to resist mo zhen's power. lu qing smiled without further argument, turning to the old doctor. "master, i think mo zhen harmed the disciples of the flowing cloud sect with his evil array. now that he's dead, the flowing cloud sect is completely destroyed." "yes, i didn't expect such an outcome," the old doctor sighed. through his soul perception, he could sense that the flowing cloud sect was almost empty, with hardly any living beings left. "that's karma. evil deeds will bring their own ruin. the flowing cloud sect has been committing atrocities in yunzhou for years. their disciples are arrogant and tyrannical. they probably never imagined dying at the hands of their own sect leader." the sword-wielding man also sighed. he despised the flowing cloud sect but never expected such a powerful sect in yunzhou to be destroyed this way. "evil arts go against the natural order and will inevitably face heavenly retribution. this outcome was destined the moment mo zhen and their grand elder began practicing evil arts," lu qing shook his head. he had inherited the legacy of the li huo sect and saw this more clearly. in the li huo sect's teachings, there were records about the demonic and evil paths. it was said that while evil paths advanced quickly and granted immense power in a short time, their cultivation methods were too cruel and went against the natural order, making them susceptible to the will of heaven. at lower realms, this might not be apparent, but at higher realms, this targeting would become increasingly evident. for example, tribulations—when a cultivator reached a certain level, they had to undergo the trial of heavenly lightning. ordinary cultivators might struggle but had a chance of success. for evil cultivators, the chance of passing the tribulation was ten times harder. it was truly a one-in-a-hundred chance. among a hundred evil cultivators, hardly any would survive the tribulation. even those with profound cultivation in the evil path couldn't escape heavenly retribution, let alone half-baked evil cultivators like mo zhen and the mo hu brothers. practicing evil arts and acting so arrogantly was asking for death. lu qing finally understood why his master had a premonition when he saw the chubby middle-aged man and his disciples. it was probably the will of heaven warning his master, using his hand to eliminate the flowing cloud sect, a malignant tumor. seeing it this way, his master was truly blessed, even heaven favored him. lu qing looked at his master with a strange expression. "ah qing, what's wrong?" the old doctor noticed his disciple's gaze and was puzzled. " nothing," lu qing replied, "master, now that the flowing cloud sect is destroyed, i want to explore inside and see if there's anything useful. senior yan, you don't mind, do you?" the last sentence was directed at the sword-wielding man. "of course not!" the sword-wielding man quickly said, "the destruction of the flowing cloud sect and the rescue of fellow yunzhou cultivators are all thanks to young master and your master's help. the treasures inside the flowing cloud sect are your spoils of war. feel free to take them, we won't interfere." "we won't take everything, just what we need. master, i'll go in first." lu qing smiled and moved towards the grand buildings of the flowing cloud sect. "my disciple is mischievous, please forgive him, mr. yan." the old doctor apologized to the sword-wielding man. "don't say that," the sword-wielding man quickly replied, "i didn't expect young master to be so lively. i thought he was always so steady." he wasn't just being polite. he was genuinely surprised. lu qing's actions had always carried a mysterious air, steady as a mountain, as if everything was under control. he didn't show the typical liveliness of a young man. seeing him suddenly so lively was truly unexpected. "ah qing has always been interested in treasures," the old doctor smiled. lu qing moved swiftly within the flowing cloud sect. he had already activated his abilities, probing as he went. he was quite hopeful. it was said that a horse couldn't grow fat without night grass. most of the world's wealth was concentrated in the hands of major families and sects. including various strange treasures. these powerful forces had accumulated for hundreds of years. who knew what rare treasures they might have collected? like the wei family and the zheng family—one had the li huo cauldron, the other had the earth spirit bead, both extraordinary treasures. the flowing cloud sect had a thousand-year heritage, stronger and more profound than the wei and zheng families. if they had something valuable, this trip would be worth it. moving quickly, lu qing saw many human-shaped bloodstains covered with clothing. their state was identical to those in flowing cloud town. they must have been refined by mo zhen's blood and soul refining array. judging by the clothes, they were probably servants. no wonder he didn't sense any living beings here—they had all been refined to death. lu qing frowned, thinking mo zhen was truly ruthless, not even sparing ordinary people. he should have tortured him more. putting those thoughts aside, ignoring the bloodstains, lu qing continued searching through the buildings. finally, he stopped in front of a tall tower. "treasure pavilion? this is it." lu qing smiled. table of content
