Chapter 158: The Oppressive Presence Brought by Lu Xueqi
The mont this figure stepped forward, she saw the terrifying attack already crashing down right before her, and she could not help but let out a soft sound of surprise.
From this attack, she sensed an extrely powerful force,
and within that blood-colored, bizarre power, she also perceived a peculiar strength she had never encountered before.
However, Lu Xueqi did not take it too seriously.
Though this attack was formidable, it was not sothing she placed in her eyes.
Imdiately after, Lu Xueqi bent her finger and lightly pointed forward. A streak of golden lightning silently appeared before her fingertip, instantly transforming into an enormous golden thunderball that blasted straight toward the Ghost King Seal.
Only a thunderous “boom” rang out as Lu Xueqi’s golden thunderball collided head-on with the Ghost King Seal.
At the sa ti, her figure moved, and a massive energy shield instantly appeared before her, enveloping both her and Tian Buyi within it.
Amid the roaring explosion, the power erupted from the Ghost King Seal and the lightning force spread outward in an instant, terrifying energy ripples surging in all directions.
The ground at the foot of the mountain shook violently from the attack, and trees within several hundred ters were swept by the residual energy, severed at the waist and reduced to dust.
The surrounding Righteous Path and Demonic Sect experts sensed this terrifying energy fluctuation and纷003纷 retreated backward, afraid of being caught in the aftermath.
Seeing Lu Xueqi appear and casually shatter his Ghost King Seal with a single strike, the Ghost King was extrely shocked.
Although he did not know Lu Xueqi’s identity, seeing her assist Tian Buyi, he knew she was soone of the Qingyun Sect’s Righteous Path.
This made the Ghost King inwardly alard: since when did the Qingyun Sect have such a powerful expert? Moreover, this person was young and clearly not Dao Xuan, whom he recognized as the Qingyun Sect’s foremost powerhouse.
The energy collision produced by Lu Xueqi’s thunderball and the Ghost King Seal struck the shield before her, but with a soft “puchi” sound, it dissipated.
Having narrowly escaped death, Tian Buyi widened his eyes as he stared at the figure before him and exclaid in shock, “Martial Nephew Lu, how could it be you?”
He had imagined others coming to save him, even Dao Xuan, yet he never expected it to be Lu Xueqi, a junior of the Qingyun Sect.
In his impression, Lu Xueqi was only at the first level of the Upper Purity Realm. When had she beco so powerful as to casually receive the Ghost King’s attack?
And moreover, had she not already disappeared?
Lu Xueqi turned her head to look at Tian Buyi and softly asked, “Martial Uncle Tian, are you all right?”
Tian Buyi hurriedly shook his head. “Martial Nephew Lu, many thanks to you today. If you had not arrived in ti, Old Tian’s life would have ended here.”
Lu Xueqi instead shook her head and said, “Martial Uncle Tian need not mind it. As fellow mbers of the Qingyun Righteous Path, it is only right that I help you. Please retreat first. Leave the Ghost King to .”
Tian Buyi said with so concern, “Martial Nephew Lu, this Ghost King is extrely powerful. You must be careful.”
Lu Xueqi nodded. “Martial Uncle Tian, rest assured. Though the Ghost King is strong, he is still within my ability to handle.”
Only then did Tian Buyi feel at ease. His figure flashed as he flew toward Master Shuiyue’s direction.
He saw that Master Shuiyue was being besieged by Qinglong and the Withered Wood Ancestor and had already suffered injuries. If she were not rescued, she might fall.
Although he himself was also injured, he could still handle Qinglong.
At this mont, although Master Shuiyue was in extre danger, her heart was filled with joy, because the instant Lu Xueqi appeared, she too saw Lu Xueqi’s figure.
This imdiately made Master Shuiyue let out a sigh of relief.
“Lu Xueqi is still alive—that is truly wonderful.”
After Tian Buyi left, Lu Xueqi looked solemnly toward the Ghost King.
She had not expected the Ghost King’s strength to be so formidable. After observing for a mont, she judged that the Ghost King had already broken through to the Supre Purity Realm of the Qingyun Sect’s Tai Chi Profound Purity Dao, standing in the sa major realm as herself.
However, the Ghost King was only at the first level of the Supre Purity Realm, vastly inferior to her. Not to ntion that her combat strength far surpassed her realm—killing the Ghost King would not be difficult.
Below, seeing his master rescued, Zhang Xiaofan let out a breath of relief.
He gazed at the figure in the sky, his eyes shining brilliantly, and murmured, “Thank you, Senior Sister Lu.”
He then turned to look at Bi Yao beside him. “Bi Yao, you should leave quickly. Senior Sister Lu is far too strong—your father is no match for her.”
Zhang Xiaofan had once fought the Black Water Mystic Serpent and deeply understood how terrifying Lu Xueqi’s strength was, far beyond imagination. Even if the Ghost King was this powerful, he would absolutely not be her opponent.
He worried that if the Ghost King were killed by Lu Xueqi, f医陵⑦扒寺崎斯（五）A镏 Bi Yao might be put in danger.
After hearing this, Bi Yao wavered slightly.
Her father had displayed strength today that towered over both the Righteous and Demonic Paths, yet Zhang Xiaofan said he was not Lu Xueqi’s match.
She had seen Lu Xueqi before and heard You Ji say that the other party was rely at the Upper Purity Realm of the Qingyun Sect. Why, then, would Zhang Xiaofan say such a thing?
This filled Bi Yao with doubt.
Zhang Xiaofan continued persuading her. “Bi Yao, Senior Sister Lu’s strength is terrifying—her combat power is unimaginably great. The Black Water Mystic Serpent in the Dead Spirit Abyss was killed by her. You should know the might of the Black Water Mystic Serpent, right?”
Hearing this, Bi Yao recalled the terrifying power emitted by the Black Water Mystic Serpent beneath the Dead Spirit Abyss, and her expression imdiately changed.
That Black Water Mystic Serpent had already been heavily injured by the ti they arrived at the Dead Spirit Abyss.
This left an extrely deep impression on Bi Yao.
After they entered the Dead Spirit Abyss, they encountered the Black Water Mystic Serpent’s final dying strike. The Ghost King Sect suffered heavy casualties—aside from You Ji and Bi Yao, all other disciples perished.
Moreover, Bi Yao’s bond with Zhang Xiaofan was also connected to the Black Water Mystic Serpent, so she was extrely clear about the serpent’s final might.
That level of power far exceeded her understanding. Even with her father’s current strength, facing the Black Water Mystic Serpent, he likely would not have fared well.
Yet such a terrifyingly powerful Black Water Mystic Serpent had already been beaten to a state of severe injury, barely clinging to life, before she even arrived at the Dead Spirit Abyss.
This was enough to show how horrifying the strength of the person who had fought it earlier truly was.
Seeing this, Bi Yao could not help but grow anxious and imdiately shouted to the Ghost King, “Father, be careful! This is Lu Xueqi of the Qingyun Sect. Her strength is extrely powerful—the Black Water Mystic Serpent beneath the Dead Spirit Abyss was killed by her!”
Upon hearing Bi Yao’s words, the Ghost King was greatly alard.
Previously, he had heard You Ji and Bi Yao speak of the situation beneath the Dead Spirit Abyss and had made bold conjectures about the Black Water Mystic Serpent’s strength.
In his view, the Black Water Mystic Serpent’s power was extrely terrifying, perhaps even surpassing his own.
At this mont, Lu Xueqi had already casually shattered his Ghost King Seal with a single strike, displaying formidable strength. Now, hearing his daughter’s warning, the Ghost King’s expression grew even more solemn.
He no longer hesitated. With a guiding motion of his right hand, a gigantic cauldron radiating blood-red light suddenly appeared before him, the bloodlight enveloping his entire body.
After the Fulong Cauldron appeared, the Ghost King finally felt a bit more at ease.
Although he had not yet officially exchanged blows with Lu Xueqi, the pressure she brought was simply too imnse.
