Chapter 204
"That's impossible!"
The Zheng Family Old Woman, clutching her severed arm, stared at Lu Qing in disbelief.
At this moment, Lu Qing showed no trace of his previous fatigue and weakness.
The powerful aura emanating from his body, and the surging Blood Qi Power, made even her, a cultivator at the Innate Realm, feel suffocated.
"You little beast, who exactly are you?"
The Zheng Family Old Woman couldn't help but ask a question.
The shock in my heart had already overwhelmed the pain of losing my arm.
Everyone knew that Lu Qing's previous weakness was just an act.
But she also couldn't understand why Lu Qing was so powerful.
Despite not being at the Innate Realm, he was able to unleash such terrifying power.
That stab came so fast, she barely had time to react.
If it weren't for her innate spiritual instincts as Innate Realm Martial Warrior, which allowed her to turn to the side at the last moment, she probably wouldn't just have lost an arm; she would have been cleaved in two.
Moreover, she had clearly seen that Lu Qing was unarmed and did not carry any weapons, so where did he take the long sword that was now radiating a terrifying sharpness from?
Could it be that he had planned this all along, hiding the weapons behind the Da Shi, calculating that she would chase after him at this moment? If so, this little beast's cunning is truly terrifying!
A series of thoughts and conjectures instantly flooded the Zheng Family Old Woman's mind, but the more she thought about it, the colder she felt.
"You can figure this out underground!"
Lu Qing, however, had no interest in answering the question.
Having succeeded in his attack, he knew the importance of striking while the iron is hot and taking the man's life.
Although he cut off one of the old woman's arms, she still possessed considerable cultivation and remained a formidable enemy.
He had gone to great lengths to lure the old woman out of the city, not just to chat with her.
So Lu Qing didn't stop for a moment. Taking advantage of the old woman's momentary lapse in concentration, he suddenly attacked, and a bright blade of light slashed at her again.
"You little beast, don't be so smug. Even if you ambushed me and Ancestor lost an arm, I can still kill you!"
Having witnessed Lu Qing's cunning and ruthlessness, the Zheng Family Old Woman understood that they were now at a critical juncture of life and death. If she held back, she would likely perish today.
So without hesitation, she channeled her Innate True Qi in a strange trajectory, violently stimulating the major acupoints all over her body.
His aura suddenly doubled.
At the same time, with his intact right hand tightly gripping the Dragon Head Crutch, he slammed it down on Lu Qing.
Clang! The Dragon Head Crutch blocked Lu Qing's long sword and knocked him back several steps.
"Innate-level Burst Secret Method?"
Sensing the sudden increase in the old hag's aura, Lu Qing understood.
He was not entirely ignorant of Innate-level Burst Secret Method.
After all, he possessed a top-tier Innate Realm inheritance within his mind.
There are naturally related secret techniques passed down within it.
Strictly speaking, the Innate-level Burst Secret Method is not much different in essence from the Acquired Realm Qi Blood Eruption technique.
Both methods utilize internal energy to stimulate various acupoints in the body, unleashing potential to acquire greater power in a short period of time.
However, when a powerful cultivator enters the Innate Realm Innate Realm, they are baptized by the Heavenly Laws, and their physical body undergoes a transformation and enhancement.
Ordinary Blood Qi Power can no longer stimulate the physical body. Only by circulating Innate True Qi and stimulating key acupoints can the body's potential be further unleashed.
Moreover, even Innate-level Burst Secret Method vary in strength.
Ordinary secret techniques can only increase one's power by a maximum of one time; those that can achieve a two-fold effect are already considered excellent secret techniques.
As for secret techniques that are more than twice as effective, those are extremely precious.
Even among the top sects and forces, they are few and far between, and are highly valued.
After all, a good Innate Realm- level explosive secret technique can allow Innate Realm expert to unleash several times the power instantly. In critical moments, it can save lives and can be considered a true life-saving secret technique.
In Lu Qing's previous assessment of the Zheng Family Old Ancestor's strength, the only uncertainty was the power of her explosive secret technique.
Now I sense that her aura has only increased by about twice.
He knew that the old woman only possessed the most basic explosive secret techniques.
If that's the case... then things become much simpler.
A Leng Yi flashed in Lu Qing's eyes.
With a thought, the golden ball of light that was slowly rotating around the Divine Soul Rune in the center of his forehead suddenly glowed slightly, and a strange power immediately surged out from the center of his forehead, blessing Lu Qing.
With this extraordinary power, a barely perceptible Golden Light flashed across Lu Qing's body, and then he felt an incomparably powerful force surging out from within him.
However, it was perfectly controlled by his incomparably powerful Divine Soul Power.
Metal Element Law Rune, Vajra Strength Rune!
Feeling the powerful force surging within him, Lu Qing didn't hesitate. He stomped his foot, cracking the ground, and charged at the Zheng Family Old Ancestor once more.
It sounds complicated, but in reality, everything happens in the blink of an eye.
From the moment the Zheng Family Old Woman used her Innate Realm secret technique to repel Lu Qing, to the moment Lu Qing used his magic Dharma Talisman to charge again, only a single breath had passed.
The Zheng Family Old Woman was already Da An to see Lu Qing being repelled by her staff.
They knew that no matter how cunning Lu Qing was, and how many secret techniques he possessed, he was ultimately only at the Acquired Realm.
Even though she lost an arm, she still had an absolute advantage in strength.
Seeing Lu Qing charge forward again, a hint of disdain flashed in her eyes.
"You little beast, today I'll show you what true Innate Realm power is like!"
With her Innate True Qi flowing through her, the old woman once again unleashed a skillful staff technique, striking towards Lu Qing's chest.
This time, the old woman held nothing back; she intended to kill Lu Qing with a single move! Facing the old woman's all-out attack, Lu Qing did not back down. He also stood his ground with his sword drawn and slashed out.
Boom! The sword and the staff collided without any fancy moves. The powerful impact instantly shattered the flowers and plants on the ground, and a howling wind swept up countless pebbles.
In the violent collision, a emaciated body, spitting out blood, flew backward.
The Dragon Head Crutch in his hand was shaken so badly that it flew high into the air.
Swish! Swish! Swish! With a single slash, Lu Qing sent the Zheng Family Old Woman flying. Without pausing, he pushed off with his feet, catching up to her while she was still in mid-air. His War Blade moved with lightning speed, slicing off the old woman's remaining limbs in three quick strikes.
"Ah!!"
Such immense pain would be difficult for even a powerful expert at the Innate Realm to endure.
The old woman finally couldn't hold back and let out a horrifying scream.
At the same time, several miles away, the Refined Old Man and his companions who were rushing over here heard the scream and their expressions all changed. They increased the speed of their movement techniques once again.
