Chapter 412: Chapter 283: Effortless Slaying, Infinite Walker

“The aura is strange and harbors a killing intent; which power is intending to deal with us?” Lu Qing sensed the several hidden auras charging towards their small courtyard and silently pondered.

Immediately, he conveyed a message to his master outside, “Master, there are several people coming over, and they seem to have ill intentions.”

Just after transmitting the message to his master, Lu Qing felt a weight on his shoulder and turned to see Little Li looking alertly ahead with a cautious face.

“Little Li, you felt it too?”

“Yes, Little Li sensed that there are four very strong individuals heading this way.”

Little Li’s youthful voice echoed in Lu Qing’s mind.

“There’s no need to worry; you stay here to protect Little Yan; I’ll go and take a look.”

Lu Qing soothed Little Li’s slightly bristled fur and spoke gently.

When Lu Qing left the room, he saw his master and Lin Zhirui standing solemnly in the middle of the courtyard.

“Young Master Lu, Elder Chen just mentioned…”

Lin Zhirui was about to ask, but when he saw the look in Lu Qing’s eyes, he immediately changed the subject, “You’ve encountered some problems with your cultivation, haven’t you?”

“That’s right; during the battle with that bald donkey from Suspended Mountain today, I was injured by the backlash from his Vajra Body, and my inner organs suffered some damage. However, it’s not a big issue; I’ve taken an elixir, and after a night of regulating my breath, I should be fine by tomorrow.”

Lu Qing coughed twice, his face pale and his breath somewhat weak as he answered.

“You better recover quickly, Young Master Lu. Fortunately, you disguised it well during the day, so that people from Suspended Mountain didn’t notice anything amiss,” Lin Zhirui said with relief.

His words had just fallen when suddenly, four dark figures wielding short swords burst out of hiding, two of them lunging directly towards Lu Qing, and the other two towards the elder doctor.

The speed of the four figures was incredibly fast; even Lin Zhirui, who had been forewarned by the elder doctor, was still greatly shocked.

Judging by the aura emitted by the assailants, each of the four figures was much stronger than him, with at least the cultivation of Innate Minor Achievement or higher.

More importantly, before these four figures made their move, he hadn’t detected their presence at all.

Even the Exotic Treasure of his sect had not issued a single warning. This was an occurrence that had never happened since he had refined the Exotic Treasure.

“Be careful!”

Lin Zhirui couldn’t help but cry out in alarm.

Then, in the next moment, he witnessed an even more shocking scene.

Faced with the attack of two dark figures, Lu Qing first showed a look of panic, but when the two figures actually reached him, his expression suddenly turned serious.

A long knife, unbeknownst to him when, had already appeared in his hand.

The sword light illuminated, and the terrifying killing intent was like a storm, rushing toward the two figures.

“Not good!”

Lu Qing’s Divine Soul Power was extremely powerful, the killing intent he conjured was also exceptionally terrifying.

Those two dark figures, despite being battle-hardened and having a firm Heart and Spirit, still couldn’t help but pause in the face of such a fearsome surge of killing intent.

And it was during this pause, the lightning-like sword light from Lu Qing had already reached their heads.

Fortunately, the two figures were indeed capable; even though their Hearts and Spirits were affected, their thoroughly honed Martial Arts instincts, which no longer required Heart and Spirit to operate, allowed them at the last moment, to raise their short swords to block the sword light.

Boom! Boom!

The short swords in the hands of the two dark figures were clearly not ordinary but Divine Weapons.

Under Lu Qing’s slashes, they were not immediately broken.

However, although they blocked the edge of the blade, in the hurried moment, the two figures couldn’t completely withstand Lu Qing’s monstrous strength.

Merely one collision was enough to send the two figures flying like rubber balls, struck by Lu Qing, flying back even faster, breaking through the walls of the courtyard and raising a cloud of dust.

“Thinking of fleeing?”

Lu Qing’s Divine Soul Sensing was incredibly sharp, and he immediately realized that his two strikes had not caused significant damage to the two figures.

On the contrary, they were trying to seize this opportunity to retreat and leave.

His gaze hardened, and without any visible movement, he disappeared from the spot and plunged directly into the dust.

In the next moment, the sword light illuminated again, and even the dust couldn’t hide it.

After two screams echoed, there was no further sound.

When the dust settled, Lin Zhirui saw that outside the broken walls, the two dark figures were lying on the ground, decapitated, deader than dead.

Looking back at the courtyard, at the feet of the elder doctor, there were also two figures lying face-up.

Each had a sword mark at the center of their brows.

Clearly, they had been killed by the Sword Qi from the elder doctor piercing through the acupoints at their foreheads.

“Brother Lu Qing, what happened?”

By now, Ma Gu and others had rushed out of their rooms and, seeing the scene in the courtyard as well as the corpses at the elder doctor’s feet, were greatly shocked.

“It’s nothing; a few rats wanted to sneak in and assassinate us but have been dealt with by me and Master.”

Lu Qing explained and then sensed some residual Sword Qi from the two figures.

He couldn’t help but admire, “Master, after your comprehension of the Holy Pool, your swordsmanship has become even more powerful.”

Hearing this, Lin Zhirui also nodded in agreement.

Just now, he was so preoccupied with watching Lu Qing’s battle with the two dark figures that he hadn’t noticed how the elder doctor had dealt with the enemy.

He recalled the terrifying Sword Qi Domain the elder doctor had displayed on Holy Mountain during the day, knowing that this senior’s expertise in the Sword Dao must have reached an unfathomable realm.

“The Holy Pool is truly mysterious; it can greatly enhance one’s insights. When you, Ah Qing, break through to the Innate Realm in the future, you can also try to comprehend it,” the elder doctor said with a smile.
