Just as Xuan Yi felt an overwhelming sense of danger, Lu Qing's figure reappeared in front of him.
Xuan Yi's pupils shrank in an instant.
This time, Lu Qing's aura was several times stronger, and his speed also soared.
Even with his perfected Innate Realm cultivation, they couldn't detect his movement.
"You old bald monk, prepare to die!"
Lu Qing's gaze was icy.
The sword in his hand vanished in an instant.
That's a visual illusion caused by the extreme speed of the knife swing.
"No......"
Extreme speed naturally brings extreme power.
When Lu Qing's knife reappeared in his hand and was seen by everyone...
Xuan Yi's eyes suddenly widened, filled with terror.
The next moment, a crack appeared on his golden body, along with the huge golden Buddha shadow behind him, starting from his brow and spreading all the way to his entire body.
The body split in two, slowly separating to the sides.
The soul and consciousness gradually sank into darkness.
At the same time, a loud booming sound came from behind him.
However, the huge stone Buddha on the cliff, which had been carved into shape for most of its length, was also split in two.
A huge knife mark, hundreds of meters long, appeared on it.
However, the sword energy unleashed by Lu Qing's strike spread across the cliff behind him, cleaving the stone Buddha on it in two as well.
One strike slays three Buddhas!
Mysterious meaning, golden light and Buddha shadow, cliff stone Buddha.
Lu Qing's strike was incredibly powerful, slaying three Buddhas in succession.
Its terrifying power left everyone dumbfounded, their minds reeling, and they were utterly shocked.
Even the red-robed monks who had been cut in half at the waist were so shocked by the horrific scene that they momentarily forgot the excruciating pain they were enduring.
He stared blankly at the massive, over 100-meter-long knife mark on the cliff face, seemingly unable to believe that this scene was real.
It wasn't until a golden ball of light slowly emerged from Xuan Yi's corpse that the red-robed monks came to their senses.
They cried out in grief and indignation.
"Senior Brother Xuanyi!"
"Elder!"
One of the monks shouted, "Quick, we can't let him take the Vajra Robe!"
However, it was too late. The moment the golden light appeared, Lu Qing knew from the aura emanating from it that this was the magic treasure within Xuan Yi's body.
He didn't have time to use his special ability to investigate its information; he simply stepped forward and took it in his hand.
The moment Lu Qing's hand touched the golden ball of light, a grand voice emanated from within it.
"Who dares to covet the treasures of my Suspended Mountain!"
However, it actually contained a powerful divine soul force within.
Not only that, the power of the divine soul also transformed into a divine soul impact, attacking Lu Qing's brow acupoint, attempting to annihilate his mind and will.
"snort!"
The sudden attack on his soul did not surprise Lu Qing.
Just as the spiritual shock was about to invade his brow acupoint, a flash of light suddenly appeared on his body.
A phantom image of a magic robe emerged from his body, instantly blocking the divine soul power.
Although the divine soul power hidden within the golden light was not weak, it did not cause him any trouble and was completely annihilated.
But just as the Heavenly Robe of Merit annihilated that divine soul power, a warning suddenly arose in Lu Qing's heart.
He suddenly looked up, gazing towards the depths of the Lingshan Mountains.
He sensed a terrifying aura emanating from the depths of the mountains, hurtling toward him at an incredible speed.
"Foundation Establishment stage! And not just any ordinary Foundation Establishment stage!"
In an instant, Lu Qing realized that the newcomer was not an ordinary cultivator, but a Foundation Establishment stage expert!
He hesitated for a moment, then suddenly threw the golden ball of light in his hand into the Qiankun Qi Bag.
He casually transmitted his voice through his soul: "Xiao Li, let's go!"
Having said that, he flew away.
However, before leaving, Lu Qing unleashed several sword energies, slashing at the red-robed monks on the ground who, though cut in half at the waist, were still alive.
"ah!"
"No!"
Lu Qing's swordsmanship was so exquisite, and those red-robed monks were already severely injured, so there was no way they could dodge it.
His head was immediately cleaved open by Lu Qing's blade energy, and he died instantly.
After dealing with several monks in red, Lu Qing's figure disappeared into the forest, vanishing into the dense woods.
The terrifying aura deep within the mountains seemed to sense something as well, and immediately accelerated again, flying rapidly towards this direction.
The craftsmen on the cliff were about to breathe a sigh of relief when they saw Lu Qing leave.
But the next moment, they became stiff all over again.
Suddenly, an incredibly terrifying aura descended from the sky and landed at the foot of the cliff.
He was an elderly monk dressed in a simple gray robe, his face full of wrinkles, like a withered tree, with two very long eyebrows that hung down to his shoulders like braids.
When the old monk with the gray cannon arrived at the foot of the cliff, he saw the corpses of Xuan Yi and the others, and a trace of sorrow appeared in his eyes.
But soon, the sorrow turned into coldness.
He looked up at the craftsmen on the cliff, a sense of dread rising within him.
"Where did the demon that killed Xuan Yi and the others escape to?"
The craftsman, being stared at by the old monk with the gray cannon, felt his hands and feet go cold and stiff, and his mind trembled uncontrollably.
But he dared not refuse to answer the question, and tremblingly stretched out his arm, pointing towards the woods.
"Reporting to the master, that...that person fled that way..."
Before he finished speaking, the old monk with the gray cannon had already disappeared from the spot and was chasing after the woods.
"Ah Qing, why are we running away? Xiao Li can beat that person!"
On the other side of the woods, Lu Qing was using his movement technique, with the aid of a talisman, to quickly retreat.
Xiao Li, nestled in Lu Qing's arms, was somewhat puzzled.
The aura that surged out from the depths of the mountains was powerful, but it sensed that it and A Qing might not necessarily be a match for it.
"This is not an escape, but a strategic withdrawal."
Lu Qing smiled and explained to Xiao Li, "That location was still too close to the entrance of the Suspended Mountain Secret Realm."
It's hard to guarantee that while we're engaged in combat with them, they won't send reinforcements to help him.
Another point is that, as a Xuan Yi at the Innate Realm, he has a magical treasure-level artifact protecting him.
The aura that just emerged from the secret realm must also be in possession of a powerful treasure.
While both are magical treasures, the power that can be unleashed by those at the Qi Refining Realm and the Foundation Establishment Realm is incomparable.
Although Lu Qing possessed a spiritual artifact, he did not want to fight a Foundation Establishment cultivator too close to the Suspended Mountain Secret Realm.
What if he is unable to kill it immediately and gets entangled with it?
If a few more Foundation Establishment stage cultivators suddenly appear on the other side, even if he has a spiritual weapon, he'll probably be in deep trouble.
Therefore, to be on the safe side, it is better to evacuate for the time being.
At the very least, they should evacuate to a sufficiently safe distance.
Only then could he seriously deal with a Foundation Establishment stage expert.
Sensing the rapidly approaching presence from not far behind, Lu Qing smiled.
