"Aqing!"
"Young Master Lu!"
Seeing Lu Qing being sent flying by a giant palm strike that shattered half a mountain, the old doctor and the others were all shocked.
Even the white-robed youth in the sky revealed a cold smile as he watched the billowing dust below.
"You ant, do you really think you can fight me just because you managed to break through one of my moves? I only used less than ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) ten percent of my power before!"
But the next moment, a figure darted out from the dust and quickly disappeared into the forest behind, desperately fleeing into the mountains.
The white-robed youth's expression changed slightly: "Trying to run?"
He was also somewhat surprised that the ant, despite being struck by him, was only much weaker, but still able to move.
"Damn body cultivator!"
The young man in the white robe immediately understood what was going on.
The radiant light emanating from Lu Qing's body earlier indicated that he was a body cultivator.
Body cultivators are known for their tenacious vitality, and the ant must have been protected by a treasure, which is why it survived his attack.
"But can you escape?"
The ant was fast and was about to escape into the deep mountains when the white-robed youth gave chase without hesitation.
He hadn't forgotten that the treasures of the secret realm were still on that ant.
If he manages to escape this time, he will surely flee to the ends of the earth.
Finding him then will be extremely difficult.
As the figure of the young man in white robes chased into the depths of the Ten Thousand Mountains and finally disappeared.
In Jiuli Village, the old doctor and others finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The aura emanating from the young man in white robes was terrifying, bringing unimaginable pressure to everyone.
Even though they were all highly skilled and had the array blocking their way, they still felt extremely uncomfortable.
Now that the person had left, the pressure eased, but their hands and feet were still cold.
"Senior Chen, Young Master Lu and that man in white robes have entered the mountains. What should we do now?"
Lin Zhirui and Wei Shanhai appeared in the small courtyard halfway up the mountain.
"Let's wait and see. The newcomer is too formidable; there's nothing we can do to help."
The old doctor shook his head, looking in the direction Lu Qing and the other person had left, his heart filled with worry.
Although Lu Qing had sent him a telepathic message when he fled into the deep mountains, telling him not to worry and just to protect the village.
But the aura displayed by the white-robed man was so terrifying that how could he not be worried?
Lin Zhirui and the others remained silent.
They knew the old doctor was right.
With their current strength, catching up with them would only hinder Lu Qing and serve no other purpose.
All they can do now is wait for news here.
"Let's save them first."
The old doctor sighed.
Although the aftershocks of Lu Qing's confrontation with the white-robed man were blocked by the formation, the battle had already taken place.
But the villagers were just ordinary people after all, and they could not withstand such a terrifying force. Many of them fainted.
"Xiao Li, what was that just now?"
Inside the Wei family's villa, Xiao Yan asked with lingering fear.
She had felt a sense of oppression and wanted to go out to check on the situation, but Xiao Li stopped her.
Xiao Li didn't speak, but looked in the direction Lu Qing left, her eyes full of worry.
It could sense that the white-clad man was far more terrifying than any enemy they had ever encountered.
Even now, it has no chance of winning against them.
It's unclear whether Lu Qing will be able to withstand it.
It wanted to chase after her to help, but when Lu Qing left, he sent it a message that it must protect Xiao Yan.
...
"You ant, do you think you can escape from my grasp?"
Inside the Ten Thousand Mountains, Lu Qing traversed the mountains at lightning speed, constantly advancing deeper into the mountains.
The white-robed youth flew overhead, occasionally launching an attack that shattered countless trees and rocks, then leisurely enjoying Lu Qing's disheveled escape.
Given that Lu Qing had dared to insult him before, he decided to torture this ant severely and let him experience what despair truly meant.
Of course, he would never admit that deep down, he was still somewhat wary of Lu Qing.
As a practitioner of Dharma, maintaining distance from physical practitioners is common sense in spiritual practice.
In the mountains and forests, a yellow light appeared on Lu Qing's body, and the Earth Spirit Pearl in the acupoint between his eyebrows was emitting waves of energy, blessing him.
After reaching the peak of Foundation Establishment, Lu Qing's control over the Earth Spirit Orb was greatly enhanced once again.
Finally, we can unleash the true power of this earth-element treasure.
The powerful earth element made him not only incredibly light, but also greatly increased his speed.
It can also use the magnetic field of the earth's veins to counterattack and neutralize attacks.
Therefore, although the white-robed youth's attack was fierce, it did not actually cause him any harm.
Lu Qing ignored the white-robed youth's mockery.
He simply asked in his heart, "Senior Yan, are you ready?"
"Young master, are you sure you want to do this?"
The sound of "Yan" appeared in Lu Qing's mind.
There was still hesitation in his tone.
There was no way around it; the plan Lu Qing had just told it was far too insane.
Even this ancient relic, which has lived for tens of thousands of years, was shocked.
"Of course, although I don't know why this guy is here, it's obvious that he's alone now."
This is our best chance to take him down!
Lu Qing's eyes revealed determination.
He had clearly seen it all: after he broke through the giant magical palm, the villagers were affected by its power and many of them fainted.
That's why he deliberately let the young man in white robes hit him, creating the illusion of defeat and escape, thus luring him away from Jiuli Village.
Otherwise, if the battle were to actually take place over the village, even if he were to ultimately defeat the enemy, most of the villagers would likely be killed or injured.
Thinking of everyone in the village, whose fate was still unknown, Lu Qing's eyes flashed with murderous intent.
No matter what, this man in white must die!
However, although his heart was burning with murderous intent, Lu Qing knew that now was not the time to retaliate.
Having fought him before, he knew that this man in white robes was much stronger than he had expected.
He had to continue to feign weakness until "Yan" was ready.
Thinking of the information he had just gleaned using his special abilities, Lu Qing continued to suppress his impulse.
He even began to consciously conceal his aura, occasionally parrying an attack from the white-robed youth, pretending to be gradually unable to defend himself.
"You ant, are you running out of spiritual power?"
Sure enough, the white-robed youth's eyes lit up when he saw Lu Qing's aura weaken.
The attacks from his hands also became more frequent.
They conjured thick ice swords and blasted them towards Lu Qing.
The two fled and chased each other for dozens of miles. Finally, the voice of "Yan" rang in Lu Qing's heart.
"Young master, that's enough!"
"Are you finally ready?" Lu Qing's gaze sharpened.
