Chapter 417: Chapter 285: Heaven’s Decree, Sorting Out the Gains_2
In truth, they could only be considered as “Pseudo Innate Great Success.” “But, taking on Suspended Mountain, you’ve really got some nerve.”
Lu Qing gazed at the last note floating up from the corpse, his eyes filled with a cold intent.
The note revealed that these assassins were not only dispatched by Suspended Mountain.
It even faintly suggested that Suspended Mountain might be hiding even more sinister deeds.
Suddenly, Lu Qing’s expression changed, “Someone’s ing, Little Li, let’s go.”
At once, his presence was pletely retracted, and Little Li disappeared instantly.
However, before leaving, Lu Qing swiftly collected the weapons of the few assassins.
Though he no longer valued ordinary Divine Weapons.
The materials used to craft Divine Weapons were exceptional in their own right, and perhaps they could be of use to him in the future.
No sooner had Lu Qing and Little Li left than a figure exuding a powerful aura appeared on the surrounding wall.
Upon seeing the scene below, his pupils constricted.
Just then, several other figures with strong auras arrived.
Seeing the collapsed house below and the mess, they too were taken aback. “Brother Fang, you arrived first, what happened here?” someone immediately asked. “I don’t know either. I arrived just a few moments before you and saw this scene as soon as I arrived,” the first figure to arrive replied. “It seems a major battle between experts took place here.”
One of the figures moved slightly and was already on the ground, beginning to examine the corpses.
The others followed suit, jumping down as well.
After a thorough inspection, the group looked at the corpses of the assassins, sensing the residual auras, and began to feel alarmed.
Because they discovered that these corpses, in life, were not weaker than they were, at least they were all stronger than Innate Minor Achievement.
Yet, how could such powerful Martial Artists have been killed?
They knew, from sensing the disturbance here to arriving, they hadn’t wasted much time.
Judging by the still-warm corpses, these people had just recently died.
To kill four powerful Martial Artists above Innate Minor Achievement in such a short span of time…
How powerful must the person who made a move be?
For a moment, everyone who rushed over started to tremble with fear, looking around them warily.
They began to regret ing so rashly.
If the one who had attacked was still nearby, wouldn’t that put them in danger?
Fortunately, after being on alert for a while, upon seeing that nothing unusual happened around them, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Knowing that the unknown expert who had killed these four had likely already left. “Who are these people, and when did several Innate Realm Experts appear in Holy City?”
Feeling safe, someone became curious about the identities of the deceased.
He continued the examination, when suddenly, he saw a conspicuous tattoo on the chest of one of the bodies that had been cut in half, and he paused.
For some reason, he felt as though he recognized the tattoo.
But when he tried to think harder, he couldn’t recall.
He stared at the tattoo, deep in thought.
Finally, a flash of insight crossed his mind.
His eyes gradually widened, shock appearing in them, “Isn’t this…” …
Lu Qing was unaware of what happened after he left.
As soon as he detected people rushing over, he immediately left with Little Li.
As for the people who came after, whether they discovered the identities of those assassins did not concern him.
After all, everyone in Wujian Building was a target, and if other forces discovered its existence, it would actually be favorable for him.
At least Suspended Mountain would have to think twice before employing these assassins again.
After returning to the small courtyard, the elder doctor was sitting in Lu Qing’s room.
Little Yan was sleeping soundly on the bed.
The little one’s sleep was as good as ever.
Even the motion caused by the assassins who had e to kill didn’t wake her up. “Is everything taken care of?”
The elder doctor asked Lu Qing and Little Li upon their return. “Yes,” Lu Qing nodded. “Then I’ll head back to my room to rest.”
The elder doctor didn’t inquire what Lu Qing went out to do and returned to his own room.
Anyway, he knew that Lu Qing had his reasons for going out.
The absolute trust between master and disciple didn’t require everything to be laid out clearly.
After the master left, Lu Qing sat cross-legged on his bed.
A lot had happened tonight, and he needed to think it through.
First was the sudden appearance of Wujian Building.
Lu Qing wasn’t overly concerned about Wujian Building.
During the battle just now, he had discovered that he and Little Li seemed particularly effective against existences like Wujian Building.
After all, as a force of assassins, the experts cultivated by Wujian Building typically followed the path of assassination, relying on their exceptional ability to conceal their presence, suddenly erupting to kill the enemy in an instant.
Their real frontal bat capabilities were actually not too outstanding.
However, so-called methods of concealing presence were virtually useless in front of Lu Qing’s frighteningly powerful Divine Soul Sensing and Little Li’s even more unreasonable and peculiar sensing abilities.
Not to mention, when it es to concealment, Lu Qing who had the Divine Soul Talisman, along with Little Li who possessed Innate Divine Abilities, their methods of hiding their presence were even more perfect than those of Wujian Building.
Thus, the assassins from Wujian Building, in every aspect, were pletely overwhelmed when facing Lu Qing and Little Li.
Naturally, they couldn’t pose a threat to them.
pared to Wujian Building, what truly made Lu Qing wary was actually Suspended Mountain.
The fact that Suspended Mountain could mand even the long-vanished Wujian Building, clearly showed that, as one of the most mysterious and powerful forces in the world, the depths of this strange place were deeper than he had imagined.
Who knows what kind of monsters were still hiding in the secret lands of Suspended Mountain.
Now that they had formed a deathly rivalry with Suspended Mountain, they would definitely need to be cautious of the other side’s sinister methods in the future.
Regrettably, Lu Qing did not know the true location of Suspended Mountain.
Otherwise, he really wanted to find an opportunity to strike them hard.
Aside from Suspended Mountain, another concern was his own cultivation.
Tonight’s breakthrough was truly unexpected for Lu Qing.
He had never anticipated that the breakthrough in the Innate Realm that he was most confident about would eventually be hindered due to his foundation being too strong.
While he had now cultivated True Qi and increased his strength, without forming the Innate Body, the True Qi he cultivated lacked a bit of spiritual nature; the essence of life had not undergone transformation.
The most evident sign was that, still remaining in the Postnatal Realm, his lifespan had not increased; he could only live up to one hundred and twenty years at most.
Yet an actual Innate Realm expert could enjoy as much as three hundred years of life.
In other words, if he couldn’t step into the Innate Realm, no matter how strong Lu Qing became, able to cut down Innate experts with his Postnatal body like now, after one hundred and twenty years, constrained by the Heaven and Earth Rules, once his lifespan was up, he would still succumb to decay of body and soul, and ultimately die. “The difference between Postnatal and Innate isn’t just a gap in strength, what’s most important is the difference in the very nature of life itself between the two.”
After experiencing tonight’s breakthrough, Lu Qing’s understanding of the disparity between the Postnatal and Innate Realms deepened. “I can sense that the next time the Heaven and Earth Dao Sound rings out, the evolved rules should be strong enough to withstand my breakthrough.
Moreover, that time should not be too far away.”
Lu Qing sat cross-legged on the bed, his aura profound, using his formidable Divine Soul Power to sense the changes between Heaven and Earth.
Although he hadn’t formally broken through to the Innate Realm, after cultivating True Qi, nourished by it, his physical body and Divine Soul Power had also been enhanced to some extent.
If he had possessed his current strength during the day, then the blow he dealt to that raging bald Xuan Nu wouldn’t have just resulted in a serious injury.
Lu Qing was confident that if the other did not have a stronger ace up his sleeve, he could use a single slash to pletely shatter the Vajra Body, cutting it in two!
