"Elder?!"
This sudden change came out of nowhere.
No one expected that the gray-clad man who had been watching from the sidelines would suddenly run away.
Not only was Magu, who had been on guard against the other party, surprised, but the disciples of the Flowing Cloud Sect were also extremely astonished.
They fought so desperately, refusing to retreat even in the face of Magu's terrifying swordsmanship, precisely because the elders were there to rely on them.
Because they knew that once they were defeated, the elders would truly intervene.
At that time, no matter how powerful Magu is, he will definitely not be a match for him.
The gap between the Internal Organs Realm and the Bone and Tendon Realm cannot be bridged by swordsmanship alone.
But now, the elder has actually fled without a fight?
For a moment, the Flowing Cloud Sect disciples who were still fighting felt unable to accept it.
"Are you able to leave?"
Lu Qing chuckled softly and flicked his fingers.
With a whooshing sound, a pebble broke through the air currents and hurtled towards the gray-clad man who had already fled dozens of feet away.
In the blink of an eye, it had reached his back.
"What!!!"
The fleeing man in gray felt an extreme danger rising in his back. Startled, he didn't have time to think and suddenly lunged to the side, rolling away to narrowly avoid the stone.
boom!
The stone struck the official road with such force that it blasted a mud pit into the ground!
The gray-clad man's pupils suddenly contracted. Such a small pebble had such great power. If it had hit him, what would have happened!
However, before the gray-clad man could even feel relieved, his body suddenly trembled, and he looked down at his own body in disbelief.
Then he saw that a large hole had been torn open in his chest, running from front to back, and his heart inside was already shattered.
At that moment, the second gust of air reached his ears.
The man in gray raised his head and looked at Lu Qing with disbelief in his eyes.
"A feint attack! Your hidden weapon skills have reached such a level that the stones you throw are faster than the sound itself. You are definitely not at the Qi and Blood Realm. Even a true master of hidden weapons would not be able to achieve this level. Who exactly are you?"
Although his heart had been destroyed, the gray-clad man did not die immediately due to the powerful vitality of his internal organs.
He was held on by a single breath, determined to find out Lu Qing's true identity; otherwise, he would not die in peace.
"Why ask so many questions when you're about to die?"
Lu Qing had no interest in answering the scumbag's question. With a flick of her finger, another pebble flew out, piercing the gray-clad man's forehead.
Struck by this fatal blow, the man in gray could no longer hold on. His body shuddered, and he fell backward to the ground, whereupon he died without a sound.
But in his dying moments, his wide-open eyes revealed his inner resentment and fear.
"Elder!!!"
Seeing that an elder with the cultivation of the Lesser Completion of the Inner Organ Realm had actually died like this.
And he died from being hit by a few ordinary pebbles.
The remaining disciples of the Flowing Cloud Sect were naturally alarmed.
They were terrified, and their eyes were filled with fear as they looked at Lu Qing.
If they weren't being held tightly by Magu and his disciples and unable to break free, they would have scattered and fled immediately.
However, under the intense mental shock, the fighting spirit of the Flowing Cloud Sect disciples inevitably diminished, and their martial arts techniques became disorganized.
Such a huge flaw was naturally not to be overlooked by Ma Gu and Wei Zi'an.
In an instant, a series of deadly moves were unleashed, slicing through the remaining Flowing Cloud Sect disciples like cutting melons and vegetables.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye. When the official road returned to calm, it was littered with corpses and blood.
Seeing this tragic scene, the old doctor simply sighed and said nothing more.
Although he disliked taking lives, he knew that these Flowing Cloud Sect disciples, who were capable of slaughtering even ordinary civilians and unwilling to spare even children, were a different story.
Persuasion is useless; stopping killing with killing is the best approach.
As for Zhao Qianlin, she was completely stunned.
She stared blankly at the corpses scattered on the ground.
She could hardly believe that these Flowing Cloud Sect disciples, who had previously been so ferocious and brought her endless despair, had actually been wiped out by Ma Gu and his group in the blink of an eye.
Keep in mind, those were more than ten martial artists at the Bone and Tendon Realm!
The gray-clad man, in particular, was a powerful martial artist at the Lesser Completion level of the Inner Vessel Realm. Even her master had been injured by his sword before.
But just now, he was killed by that young master Lu with only three pebbles.
Such an unbelievable scene made Zhao Qianlin wonder if she was dreaming.
"Hahaha, young master, your hidden weapon skills have improved again. Even a master of the Inner Strength Realm would find it difficult to stop a single pebble from you."
Having wiped out the entire enemy force without a single wound, Magu laughed heartily.
"You all did well, especially Zi'an. If Senior Wei knew, he would be very pleased," Lu Qing said with a smile.
Wei Zian lowered his head somewhat shyly after being praised.
However, his grip on the iron rod tightened considerably.
At the same time, I was also very excited.
This was his first real confrontation with an enemy, and it made him realize that he was much stronger than before.
"Xiaoyan, have you finished bandaging Sister Zhao's wound?" the old doctor asked.
"It's bandaged up~" Xiaoyan's voice came from inside the carriage.
"Alright, Aqing, get ready, we're going to town."
"Yes, Master."
Lu Qing and the others moved the corpses blocking the road, and the carriage started moving again.
As for the corpses, they can only be left where they are for the time being.
The old doctor was worried about the townspeople and had no time to waste on disposing of corpses.
"Dr. Chen, are we going to town?"
At this moment, Zhao Qianlin also came to her senses and asked excitedly.
By this point, she was fully aware that the old doctor and his group were truly unassuming and, despite their ordinary appearance, were incredibly powerful.
“That’s right. Didn’t Miss Zhao say earlier that the disciples of the Flowing Cloud Sect were slaughtering people indiscriminately in the town? We have to stop them.” The old doctor nodded.
"Please, Doctor Chen, also save my master, senior brother, and junior sister. They have been captured by the young sect leader of the Liuyun Sect and must have suffered a lot of torture. If we go too late, they may not be able to endure it," Zhao Qianlin pleaded.
"Of course, we get along quite well with Master Fang, so we certainly won't watch him suffer."
Lu Qing asked with some curiosity, "Is the young sect leader of the Flowing Cloud Sect also in town?"
"Yes, this madman not only came after us personally, but also brought a large group of Flowing Cloud Sect disciples with him."
It turns out that while we were at the Taoist temple, the disciples of the Liuyun Sect also stayed in the town to avoid the rain.
After leaving the Taoist temple, we originally planned to buy some food and clothing in town before continuing our journey, but unexpectedly, we ran into them.
Young Master Lu, this young sect leader of the Flowing Cloud Sect is a madman. He doesn't kill us immediately because he wants to torture us slowly to satisfy his sadistic desires.
We had been hiding nearby and could clearly hear why those Liuyun Sect disciples were massacring the people in the town.
It was because they felt the townspeople hadn't treated them well enough during the days they'd been sheltering from the rain, and they'd long ago decided to teach them a lesson.
"And then, the so-called lesson is to just kill the person?" Lu Qing's expression became somewhat calm.
"That's right, that's why Senior Brother Da Shi couldn't hold back and rushed out to fight them."
Lu Qing looked at the town ahead and said nothing more.
But Zhao Qianlin inexplicably felt a chill spread throughout her body.
She wasn't afraid at all; on the contrary, she felt excited.
Looking towards the town with unwavering determination, he thought to himself, "Master and Junior Sister, hold on a little longer. I'm coming with Doctor Chen and the others to rescue you!"
Because of the urgency of the matter, this time, Magu did not drive the carriage slowly, but instead urged the horse on at full speed.
Soon, they arrived at the town.
Before they even entered the formation, Lu Qing and the others could already smell a strong stench of blood.
Several corpses lay at the entrance to the town.
His body was severed from his head; it was a gruesome scene.
