I Can See Through Everything

Chapter 137

At this moment, near the city gate, besides the disciples of the Tian Cang Sect, there were other martial artists present.

They were the strongest from various forces within the city.

Even the weakest among them were powerful martial artists close to mastering the Tendons and Bones Realm.

Since learning about the decree that Precelestial beings must not harm those below their level, people's awe towards Precelestial experts had diminished.

Upon hearing that another Precelestial expert had arrived outside the city, they all rushed over.

After all, it was rare to see a Precelestial expert up close. Observing and sensing the aura of a Precelestial might benefit their future cultivation.

Unexpectedly, they saw Lu Qing withstand Wang Cangyi's Precelestial aura without any change in expression.

This left everyone in disbelief.

A few days ago, they had personally felt how terrifying the pressure from Precelestial experts could be.

Back then, during Wang Cangyi and Wei Shanhai's confrontation, the entire county town seemed to tremble under their Precelestial pressure.

How could the young man before them be unaffected?

"It seems that Senior Wang truly disregards the Sacred Mountain's decree. But I wonder if you can bear the consequences of breaking it?"

Lu Qing looked at the figure on the city gate and said loudly.

His calm demeanor left the other martial artists dumbfounded.

This youth was incredibly bold, daring to question a Precelestial Grandmaster in public!

Was he not afraid of provoking Wang Cangyi into killing him with a single strike?

Wang Cangyi looked down at Lu Qing with cold eyes. Just as he was about to speak, he sensed two auras appearing on the nearby city wall.

Turning his head, he saw the County Magistrate and a youth in plain clothes standing not far away, watching.

Seeing the calm look in the plain-clothed youth's eyes, Wang Cangyi's expression changed, and he swallowed the harsh words he was about to utter.

However, he could not suppress the anger in his heart.

If not for the Tianji Tower disciple's presence, he would have already started a massacre.

But, unable to deal with the plain-clothed youth did not mean he could not handle Lu Qing.

"Kid, you have some guts and a bit of cleverness. A mere Tendons and Bones Realm dares to provoke me with words. Do you think the Sacred Mountain's decree will stop me from dealing with you?"

"No, you're just courting death!"

Wang Cangyi's face was full of mockery, looking at Lu Qing as if he were a dead man.

"Xiong'er, capture this kid for me. Don't kill him yet; torture him well first!"

"Yes, Master!"

The robust man, his senior disciple, responded in a deep voice and stepped forward.

"Master Zhiyue, this kid was disrespectful to me. Letting my senior disciple teach him a lesson doesn't violate the Sacred Mountain's decree, right?"

Wang Cangyi turned to the plain-clothed youth.

"Of course not," the plain-clothed youth shook his head.

"And if the Precelestial below intervenes with my disciple, does that violate the decree?" Wang Cangyi asked again.

"Yes!" The plain-clothed youth replied expressionlessly.

"Good, very good," Wang Cangyi nodded in satisfaction.

He then called out, "Xiong'er, did you hear that? If the old man dares to make a move on you, your master will take care of him. Don't worry."

"Understood, Master!" the robust man responded loudly.

Wang Cangyi and the plain-clothed youth did not conceal their conversation, so almost all the martial artists heard them.

Immediately, everyone looked at Lu Qing with pity.

Who was the robust youth? He could spar with the head of the Wei family and was at the pinnacle of Postnatal martial artists, a Grandmaster in the Internal Organs Realm.

Among everyone here, except for the two Precelestial experts and the mysterious Master Zhiyue, his cultivation was the highest.

Lu Qing was merely a Tendons and Bones Realm martial artist. How could he possibly be a match for him?

Moreover, his words to provoke Wang Cangyi were used against him, binding his only support.

"Old doctor, what should we do now?"

Seeing the robust man approaching step by step, feeling the strong Blood Qi emanating from him, Mago knew they could not deal with him.

This robust man felt much stronger than the Internal Organs Realm expert they had encountered in the unnamed valley.

"Aqing, step back."

The old doctor could not bear to see his disciple suffer and was ready to act.

However, Wang Cangyi, who had been watching closely, would not let this happen.

Seeing the old doctor about to act, he immediately condensed a sword aura.

"Old man, if you want to bully the young, don't blame me for being impolite!"

As the powerful aura rose, just as Wang Cangyi was about to charge, Lu Qing stopped the old doctor.

"Master, it's not time for you to act yet. Let me handle this brute first."

"But Aqing..."

"Don't worry, Master. I am confident. Even if I am not his match, I can retreat safely."

Seeing the faint smile on his disciple's face, the old doctor finally let go.

He knew Lu Qing was always steady and rarely did anything without confidence.

Although even he could not imagine how someone in the Tendons and Bones Realm could fight against someone in the Internal Organs Realm.

But out of trust for his disciple, he decided to believe in Lu Qing.

"Young Master Lu, are you going to fight that villain?"

Mrs. Wei on the ox cart was shocked.

"Someone needs to buy some time. But Madam, your Wei family's reinforcements are too slow. We've been waiting for so long, and they haven't shown up."

Lu Qing said with a solemn expression.

"I... I don't know... Maybe something happened at the mansion that delayed them..."

Mrs. Wei said with some shame.

"Hopefully, the Wei family head can arrive soon. Otherwise, I may not be able to hold on for long." Lu Qing sighed.

He removed the cover from the basket, handed it to Xiao Yan, and pulled his war blade from the ox cart.

"Xiao Li, protect Xiao Yan. If anyone tries to harm her, kill them without mercy."

Mrs. Wei and her son were stunned, just about to ask who Xiao Li was, when they saw Lu Qing walking forward with his blade.

Only Mago, hearing Lu Qing's words, was greatly shocked.

He thought Lu Qing would fight the robust man with the mysterious creature that knew how to become invisible, as they did in the unnamed valley.

But now it seemed he intended to let that mysterious creature protect Xiao Yan and fight alone!

But he was only in the Tendons and Bones Realm. How could he possibly be a match for an Internal Organs Realm expert?

Unfortunately, before Mago could stop him, Lu Qing had already walked far, leaving him anxious.

Meanwhile, the martial artists near the city gate were equally astonished.

Because they saw the young man not only didn't run but also approached the robust man with his weapon.

"Is this young man crazy? Does he want to fight an Internal Organs Realm Grandmaster?"

"This kid is scared silly. Now the senior brother will tear him apart!"

"Young and ignorant, can't he see how strong his opponent is?"

"Overestimating himself, this kid is dead for sure!"

...

There was an uproar at the city gate, and the strong men on the city wall were equally surprised.

Wang Cangyi's face first showed a trace of surprise, then turned into a sneer.

Indeed, he did not know his limits, thinking he was powerful because of some talent.

Just as well, Xiong'er could capture him as a hostage.

Then force the old man to hand over Mrs. Wei and her son.

"Zhiyue, who is this young man? He's so reckless!"

The County Magistrate couldn't help but ask his friend.

"I don't know either."

The plain-clothed youth shook his head, but there was a strange look in his eyes as he watched Lu Qing.

Yesterday, when he saw Lu Qing at the Halfway House, he felt Lu Qing was somewhat special, always giving him a sense of being in a fog.

But at that time, most of his attention was on the old doctor, so he didn't pay much attention.

Now it seemed that Lu Qing was probably more special than he imagined.

The plain-clothed youth's mind moved, and a strange aura quietly emerged from his eyes.

Under the gaze of many martial artists, Lu Qing walked up to the robust man.

In his vision, information about the robust man appeared.

Amidst the dense red light of supernatural power, several words were displayed.

[Zhao Xiong: Disciple of Tian Cang Sect, senior disciple of Precelestial warrior Wang Cangyi, calm and mature in character.]

[Cultivation: Postnatal Internal Organs Realm perfection, skilled in blade techniques.]

[Possesses a secret technique that can double his combat power in a short time.]

Seeing the information in his vision, Lu Qing was somewhat surprised.

As another disciple of Wang Cangyi, this senior disciple's character was unexpectedly not as bad.

The previous ones he and Xiao Li had killed were not good people.

"Kid, you have guts. If you kneel and beg for mercy now, I might ask my master to leave you a whole corpse."

The robust man looked at Lu Qing with a hint of admiration.

It was the first time he saw a Tendons and Bones Realm warrior brave enough to stand before him.

Whether

Lu Qing was arrogant or had something to rely on.

Just the courage alone was enough for him to admire.

"Thank you for the kindness, but I have a hard bone by nature and never beg for mercy. I'd rather die standing than live on my knees," Lu Qing smiled.

"Good, you have guts. But I wonder if your strength is as hard as your bones."

The robust man shouted, praising him.

"What's the use of talking so much? Let's see the real skill. Seeing the war blade on your back, you should also be a blade master. Draw your blade."

Lu Qing said.

"Against you, a Tendons and Bones Realm, I don't need to draw my blade. That would be a joke." The robust man grinned, "If you can force me to draw my blade, I won't need to ask my master. I can promise to leave you a whole corpse."

"Is that so? Then I am grateful."

Lu Qing smiled, his body slightly lowered, adopting a blade technique stance.

"But be careful, my blade technique is not easy to counter with just your fists."

As he finished speaking, a powerful killing intent surged from Lu Qing's body.

Then, with a tremor in the ground, Lu Qing's figure disappeared from the spot. When he reappeared, he was already in front of the robust man.

A bright blade light, carrying a rolling killing intent, slashed down towards the robust man's head like a thunderbolt!

"What?!"

The robust man was greatly shocked.

In an instant, he felt the profundity of Lu Qing's blade technique.

It completely locked his surrounding space, giving him a feeling that no matter where he dodged, he would be hit.

Sensing this unavoidable, deadly blade intent, the robust man reflexively reached behind and drew his war blade to counter the impending blade light.

Clang!!

A piercing clash of war blades resounded. Under the powerful collision, air currents swirled, and both Lu Qing and the robust man were pushed back several steps.

"See? I told you, my blade technique is not easy to counter."

Lu Qing looked at his blade, which had a notch, unconcerned.

He then looked at the robust man holding a long blade, equally nicked, with a face of shock, and smiled.
