Chapter 186 Instant Kill of the Extraordinary
How dare a mere sixth-level Qi Refining cultivator spout such nonsense?
Seeing the Seventh Elder charging towards him with bloodshot eyes, Lu Qingyun smiled.
As everyone knows, a rogue cultivator's sixth level of Qi Refining is equivalent to a Yunxia disciple's fifth level of Qi Refining.
The fifth level of Qi Refining of Yunxia disciples is at most comparable to the fourth level of Qi Refining in front of Lu Qingyun, who is only halfway to Foundation Establishment.
"Refining three times against refining four times, and still having trump cards in hand," Lu Qingyun's eyes revealed a hint of disdain.
With a flick of his magic, the mid-grade magic sword instantly flew out from his waist.
boom!
A single gesture can be a deadly attack.
A flash of cold light appeared, and a stream of emerald green magic power traveled along the magic sword, piercing straight into Shen Buqun's chest.
Just as withered trees come back to life and new swallows peck at the mud.
The sword light seemed faint and delicate, yet it carried an overwhelming killing intent, aiming straight for Shen Buqun's face.
The sword came suddenly!
Shen Buqun's pupils constricted. He never expected that Lu Qingyun, whose aura was weak, would unleash such a sword beam in an instant.
"No matter what, you're just a beginner in Qi Refining. I'm a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator; do you think I'd fall into your hands?"
Shen Buqun's face turned fierce.
In a short while, he made his decision.
He actually drew his magic sword directly, wanting to clash head-on with Lu Qingyun and decide who was superior with a single strike.
"You've fallen into my hands?"
Lu Qingyun sneered.
"From the moment I drew my sword, everything for you was over. Don't you understand now?"
Shen Buqun was furious. He was the seventh elder of the Shen family. He had never been so disrespected by this junior.
He immediately unleashed his full magical power, intending to take Lu Qingyun's life.
However, as he drew his sword, he suddenly realized something was wrong.
"When...when?!"
Shen Buqun touched his chest sadly, only to find that a bloody hole had appeared there at some unknown time. His hand trembled as he stroked it.
Only then did he realize that his heart, along with his abdominal cavity, had already been shattered by a single sword strike.
"The moment the sword is drawn."
Was it really as he said, that the battle was already over the moment the sword was drawn?
The Seventh Elder felt a pang of bitterness in his heart.
He sheathed his magic sword and fell down unwillingly.
In fact, he had no reason to be resentful.
After all, possessing a treasure is a crime, and being less skilled than others means one should die.
This new swallow pecking at the mud perfectly embodies two sword intents: one like a newly sprouted bud, full of vitality and unpredictable, and the other like a swallow pecking at the mud, swift and patient.
It appeared that Lu Qingyun only used one sword, but in reality, it was two swords, one feinting and the other striking.
The feint was the sword Shen Buqun saw, meant to take his head; the real attack was a sneaky maneuver, aimed directly at his heart.
If Shen Buqun could discern the true nature of this sword strike and, before Lu Qingyun could react, avoid the feint and strike the real attack, there might truly be a turning point.
Unfortunately, he was just a mere rogue cultivator.
He certainly couldn't.
Lu Qingyun skillfully put his body into her storage bag, and then used a spell to completely erase all traces.
Thus, even a half-step Foundation Establishment cultivator could only discern that a wood magic cultivator had once performed actions here, but would certainly not be able to trace his identity.
Of course, what does a wood-based cultivator have to do with him?
He was merely a lowly Qi Refining cultivator at the early stage of the Dan Peak of the Yunxia Sect. Not to mention that his cultivation technique was not of the wood element, even his cultivation level was insufficient to cause any damage to the Seventh Elder.
After swallowing a Qi-replenishing pill, Lu Qingyun immediately fled towards the cave entrance.
Although he killed the Seventh Elder Shen Buqun with ease, it was still a battle against someone of a higher level, and it consumed most of his mana.
Although Shen Changzhu, that cunning man, is not good at managing a household, he is a master of combat, comparable to cultivators of the same level in the Yunxia Sect.
Although he hasn't secretly broken through to the eighth level of Qi Refining yet, a seventh-level Qi Refining expert is enough to take his life.
Therefore, they already knew Shen Changzhu's background.
Without hesitation, Lu Qingyun unleashed the full power of the Heavenly Profound Dharma.
In just a moment, it disappeared hundreds of meters away.
However, just as they were about to emerge from this deserted mine and arrive at the transition layer connecting the Qingyuanquan Mine with the rest of the vein...
A figure suddenly blocked the mine exit.
"Who are you? Where did Shen Buqun go?"
Why are you the only one who came out?
The man, dressed in black robes, frowned and posed three questions in succession.
Lu Qingyun hated people wearing black robes the most.
Upon seeing who it was, he immediately sensed something was wrong.
This was because the person was actually a Qi Refining Level 6 cultivator from the Cui Clan of Qiyang, the eldest son of the Cui Clan's main branch, and a disciple of the Yunxia Refining Peak.
At this moment, Lu Qingyun wished he could throw Shen Buqun out and whip his corpse.
This person not only colluded with the Cui family, but also directly invited their eldest son, Cui Jue, to the mine.
Even if he wasn't afraid of letting the wolf into the house, wasn't he at all afraid of being discovered by Shen Changzhu and being judged by the Shen family?
Lu Qingyun took a deep breath.
Well, he's really not afraid.
Perhaps in Shen Buqun's eyes, Shen Changzhu was still a foolish and incompetent person at the fifth level of Qi Refining.
However, no matter how much he hates her right now, he has to suppress it and deal with the eldest son of the Cui family.
"Young Master Cui, the mine below has collapsed. The lord has gone to investigate and has ordered me to immediately dispatch cultivators and inform the lord to provide assistance."
Lu Qingyun remained calm, but instead feigned respect and cupped his hands in greeting.
"What a piece of trash!"
Cui Jue narrowed his eyes, cursed, and immediately activated his magic power, instructing Lu Qingyun, "You go up and send the cultivators down immediately, I will go and support Brother Shen myself."
"Thank you for your trouble, Young Master Cui."
Lu Qingyun quickly cupped his hands in greeting.
The two passed each other and went their separate ways.
They all seem to have a bright future.
However, in the instant Lu Qingyun passed by him, Cui Jue immediately activated his magic, flicking his fingers, and three powerful magic weapons—a bell, a cauldron, and a seal—immediately attacked him.
Without hesitation, Lu Qingyun's magic sword trembled slightly, and a sword beam slashed towards Cui Jue's brow.
When did you discover it?
Lu Qingyun asked.
"Shen Buqun doesn't know me and has never called me Young Master Cui. Moreover, he is greedy for life and cowardly, and he is lazy and afraid of trouble. The Qingyuanquan Mine is extremely tough, so even if the mine collapses, why would he personally go down to investigate?"
"Given his personality, if you are truly one of his people, he will return when he sees you."
Cui Jue smiled slightly.
"Even someone at the sixth level of Qi Refining, who can emerge from underground, will inevitably end up in a sorry state. You overestimated him and underestimated me."
In an instant, the sword light pierced towards Cui Jue's body. He merely turned slightly to the side, and a white jade scale armor appeared on his chest, easily blocking the sword light that could have killed Shen Buqun in one strike.
However, Lu Qingyun smiled and said, "I did overestimate him, but I never underestimated you."
Lu Qingyun's magic sword flicked slightly, and he escaped the moment the bell, the cauldron, and the seal came crashing down.
In an instant, it flew hundreds of meters away.
First shoot the arrow, then draw the target.
Lu Qingyun naturally didn't know if Cui Jue had noticed anything amiss, but the moment he saw Cui Jue, he was already prepared to take action.
If Cui Jue hadn't discovered it, this new "swallow pecking at mud" technique could have easily ended his life.
If he discovers this, it would be a good opportunity to escape far away.
