Chapter 276: Chapter 205: Outwitting the Unwary, Once More Kneeling to the Innate! Intimidation!
As the gazes of several Innate Realm martial artists fell on Lu Qing, their expressions were shaken once more.
For from Lu Qing’s body, they couldn’t sense the unique Innate Essence of the Innate Realm.
What did this imply?
It implied that Lu Qing was not yet an Innate Realm Martial Artist!
Yet he had managed to kill Old Lady Zheng so effortlessly.
For a mont, the several Innate Realm martial artists were greatly shaken in heart and spirit and beca exceedingly wary of Lu Qing.
...
Facing the scrutiny of four Innate Realm Experts, Lu Qing’s expression remained calm.
However, invisibly, he had already activated his Superpower and was unobtrusively investigating the backgrounds of the people in front of him.
Seeing that Lu Qing was silent, rely gazing back at them quietly with no sign of fear, the Innate Realm Experts felt even deeper trepidation.
After a long silence, the crane-haired, youthful-faced elder spoke solemnly, “Young hero, I don’t know how to address you. What vendetta do you have against this Old Lady Zheng that you would tornt her to death like this?”
“Oh, must one have a vendetta against her to be allowed to kill her? Can’t it be because I ca across sothing unfair, didn’t like the look of her, and so simply chopped her down?”
At this point, Lu Qing had already finished probing the information of the several Innate Realm individuals opposite him.
He had even lingered a bit longer on the refined-looking elder.
Hearing the crane-haired, youthful-faced elder’s words, he simply replied indifferently.
“You!” The refined elder suddenly widened his eyes as his aura faintly showed signs of exploding, “If you found her disagreeable, you could have simply taught her a lesson. Why did you have to deal her such a vicious blow?”
“With such a venomous woman, what use is there in keeping her around? Old fart, surely you don’t fail to realize just how malicious that old hag’s heart is?”
Although the information probed revealed that the refined elder wasn’t a man of great wickedness, Lu Qing still had no good impression of him.
An obtuse old fool who, without a clear understanding of the situation, had lashed out at him. The fact that Lu Qing had tolerated it up to now already showed great restraint.
“This old hag, in her anger, wanted to perform a live human sacrifice for her good-for-nothing deceased grandson. Such cruel and inhumane acts, heaven and earth would condemn. What’s wrong with chopping her to death?”
The refined elder hesitated but still attempted to defend, “These are but rumors. After all, the Zheng Family has not committed such a wrongdoing. Isn’t it too arbitrary to condemn soone for sothing that hasn’t happened?”
“Old fool, I think you’re so besotted with that old hag you’ve lost your mind!”
Seeing the refined elder still trying to excuse the old woman, Lu Qing no longer held back and directly scolded him.
“With that old woman’s viciousness, can you guarantee that she truly wouldn’t have perford the live human sacrifice ritual?”
Called “old fool” directly by Lu Qing, the refined elder’s anger surged.
But the subsequent statent made him hesitant.
He wanted to say she wouldn’t, but even he knew how feeble such a guarantee would be.
Given Old Lady Zheng’s character, she might truly dare to commit such a heinous act in the end.
Seeing the refined elder was rendered speechless by his retort, Lu Qing continued, “And do you really think this old hag has never done a live human sacrifice before?”
Those words caused all the Innate Realm Martial Artists to tremble.
Especially the refined elder, who blurted out, “What did you say?”
The City Lord of State Mansion City also spoke in a deep voice, “Young friend, if what you say is true, has Old Lady Zheng previously carried out such a live human sacrifice ritual?”
“If you want to know the answer, you can go dig up the grave of Zheng Family’s eldest son. There, you’ll find everything you want to know,” Lu Qing said with a cold laugh.
The grave of Zheng Family’s eldest son.
The thoughts of several Innate Realm Experts were stirred, and they recalled the major incident of the past, along with the crazed appearance of Old Lady Zheng at that ti.
In their hearts, they began to believe Lu Qing’s words by seventy to eighty percent.
If it were based on the grief and anger of Old Lady Zheng from those days, it was indeed very possible that she could perpetrate such an abhorred act.
“Fine! Young man, let say this before anything else: we shall go and investigate. If there are no traces of a live human sacrifice in the grave of Zheng Family’s eldest son, do not bla for seeking justice from you,” the refined elder declared.
“Old fart, what right do you have to seek justice from ? Even if it was a matter of avenging soone, it should be the Zheng Family’s matter, not yours. Who are you to them?”
Yet Lu Qing spoke with unhidden derision.
“What’s more, we still have another score to settle between us.”
“What score do I have with you?” The refined elder was taken aback.
“Old fart, surely you’re not so forgetful. Did you think I’m so magnanimous that I’d forget you attacked just now?” Lu Qing said coldly.
“What do you propose then?”
The refined elder’s anger was flaring due to being repeatedly addressed as “old fool,” and he replied coldly.
“Simple. You attacked with three Sword Qi strikes earlier, and my request is not high: just take one slash from . If you can survive this slash, then we’re even.”
“Young man, you are quite confident.”
Hearing Lu Qing’s arrogant tone, the refined elder laughed out of sheer anger.
“Although I don’t know how you managed to defeat Old Lady Zheng, do you really think we Innate Realm Martial Artists are so easily molded?”
“Cut the crap. Do you dare to take it?”
“Fine, then why shouldn’t I take your one slash!”
Hearing the refined elder agree, the crane-haired, youthful-faced elder was imdiately shocked: “Brother Lin!”
“It’s nothing.” The refined elder waved his hand offhandedly, “I also want to see what this person can do, seeing that even Sister Yun is no match for him.”
