"You actually crushed my 【Emperor's Fist Seal】 with your bare hands?"
Seeing that Lu Qing not only easily caught the fist imprint he had unleashed with all his might, but also casually crushed it.
An expression of disbelief appeared in Gongshu Yu's eyes.
However, before he could even react, he saw Lu Qing's figure disappear from the spot.
When it reappeared, it was already less than three feet in front of him.
"not good!"
Gongshu Yu felt a jolt, and an intense chill rose from the depths of his heart.
That was his honed instinct, constantly giving him warnings.
He was about to dodge when he felt a sharp pain in his chest as an incredibly fierce punch exploded in front of him.
This sent him flying backward at incredible speed, crashing through countless houses.
The force of the punch penetrated his body, causing his limbs and bones to tremble and go numb. For a moment, he was unable to move and could not even use his magic power.
"Impossible! My armor is a magical artifact. How could his fist force penetrate it?"
Gongshu Yu roared inwardly, completely unable to believe everything he was perceiving.
But before he could shout it out, he felt a blur before his eyes, and Lu Qing's figure reappeared in front of him.
However, after Lu Qing blasted him away with a punch, he quickly caught up with his flying body.
"A magical artifact-level armor?"
A soft voice came from Lu Qing's mouth.
Then, with a calm expression, he delivered a whip kick, sending him flying into the air.
Peng!
Driven by the perfect Golden Core, Lu Qing's current power is terrifying.
The sheer force unleashed by a single exertion was already astonishing.
Even a mountain peak can be easily kicked to pieces.
Gongshu Yu was struck by this kick, and with the violent force erupting, he was completely out of control and flew into the sky.
Its body tore through the atmosphere, bursting out layers of white mist and creating muffled thunderous sounds.
However, the strange phenomenon was caused by the speed at which it was blasted away, shattering the atmosphere.
If it weren't for the powerful defense of his magical armor, that single blow would have been enough to shatter his body.
After kicking Gongshu Yu into the air, Lu Qing's feet sank to the ground.
The next moment, the ground beneath his feet began to collapse, and the houses within dozens of feet around him instantly exploded.
Fortunately, when Gongshu Yu arrived earlier, the cultivators within several miles, fearing being caught in the crossfire, had already fled to distant places.
Otherwise, just this one incident would have affected countless people, causing them to die tragically.
Driven by an indescribably powerful force, Lu Qing's speed reached an incredible level.
In just a moment, they caught up with Gongshu Yu, who had broken through layers of air currents.
Then, another punch landed on his chest, striking the protective aura of Gongshu Yu's armor, causing it to shake violently and almost go out.
His body flew out again, just like a ball.
However, Gongshu Yu had barely flown a short distance when Lu Qing reappeared behind him and blasted him back with another punch.
And so, Lu Qing's figure flickered continuously in the sky.
They treated Gongshu Yu like a sandbag, trapping him within a half-mile radius and relentlessly tormenting him.
This scene, when witnessed by other cultivators in the city, immediately caused a huge uproar.
"Young Master Yu is being suppressed and has no power to fight back?"
The Master of the Heavenly Mystery Workshop stared blankly at the sky, wondering if he was hallucinating.
In his heart, Young Master Yu was incredibly powerful, practically invincible among those in the Golden Core realm.
Now, however, it is being unilaterally beaten in the sky, completely powerless to fight back.
Other Golden Core Realm experts, such as the red-faced elder from the Myriad Manifestations Pavilion, were also filled with shock.
They had personally experienced the imposing presence that Gongshu Yu had previously displayed.
Knowing this person's strength, which is unfathomable, and that he is a Nascent Soul cultivator, he is probably unmatched among those in the Golden Core realm.
But what they saw now was the Gongshu Prince, who had just been like a demon god.
Now, however, he is being brutally trampled by Lu Qing, like a sandbag.
Speaking of that young man, wasn't he the talisman maker invited by the Treasure Pavilion? Why is his strength so great?
Could it be that he is a powerful primordial spirit who has concealed his cultivation level?
The people from Tianjifang and Wanxiangge were incredulous.
The situation at the Treasure Pavilion was no better.
The Treasure Pavilion Master and the others stared blankly at the sky as Lu Qing relentlessly pounded Gongshu Yu's body, deforming it with each punch.
"So Master Lu's strength is this terrifying?"
Master Wang looked up at the sky and murmured.
"It seems that Chief Lu has been hiding his strength all along. He can't possibly be just a Golden Core Stage 3 cultivator!"
One of the sub-hosts exclaimed in surprise.
Master Qiu, who had been suppressed, was now completely pale and bloodless.
He actually considered using underhanded tactics against such a powerful figure?
The owner of the Treasure Pavilion tilted his head back, his eyes gleaming with an indescribable light.
As expected, her prediction back then was correct.
The opportunity for her to break free from the shackles of fate truly lay within Canglan City.
Moreover, it should be on Fellow Daoist Lu!
"Master, it seems that Young Master Yu is about to be defeated. What should we do?"
At this moment, a person behind the Master of Heavenly Mystery Workshop asked quietly via telepathic communication.
Master Tianji was jolted back to his senses.
Indeed, it's clear that Young Master Yu is currently a match for the other side, and they need to consider countermeasures in advance.
Otherwise, they won't fare well even after the "battle" above is over.
Thinking of this, a resolute glint flashed in the eyes of the Master of Heavenly Secrets.
He immediately ordered: "This time, our Tianji Workshop has offended the City Lord terribly, and there is no way out!"
There's only one path left to take!
The talisman maker clearly valued that bitch Mo Hongyun highly.
We immediately took action, captured him, and used that to threaten the man above into releasing the young master!
Having said that, he rushed towards the Treasure Pavilion Master and the others.
"yes!"
The Golden Core cultivators behind them also understood the urgency of the situation.
They immediately followed, intending to capture the owner of the Treasure Pavilion and his entourage.
"Watch out, OP!"
As soon as the Tianji Fangzhu and the others made a move, the two deputy building masters immediately reacted.
He immediately went to the Treasure Pavilion Master and greeted the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion Master.
Although their cultivation levels were slightly lower than those of the Master of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, they could still barely contend with him if they joined forces.
The others in the Treasure Pavilion were equally fearless.
They all unleashed their special weapons, preparing for a desperate battle.
They could all see that Tianjifang was aware that their backing was in a bad situation.
They wanted to take us all hostage and threaten Chief Lu.
If they can hold out until the battle at the top ends, victory will be on their side.
boom!
A major battle is imminent.
Tianjifang wanted to take the Treasure Pavilion Master hostage as soon as possible, so they launched a full-scale attack immediately.
But the Treasure Pavilion, too, fought back fiercely and relentlessly.
Even the pampered Treasure Pavilion Master, who had always lived a life of luxury, took out a magical hairpin and joined the battle to help the two deputy pavilion masters fight the enemy.
Therefore, although Treasure Pavilion lost Uncle Fu, a major fighting force, it managed to hold on.
This resulted in a stalemate between the two sides.
"Vice Pavilion Master, aren't we going to help?"
Watching the fierce battle ahead, someone from the Myriad Elephants Pavilion asked in a low voice.
However, the red-faced old man glared at him and said, "Help what? We're just here to watch the show. Who said we were going to fight?"
Seeing his subordinates' panicked expressions, the red-faced old man snorted coldly.
Looking up at the sky, feeling the chilling aura emanating from it, I felt a chill run down my spine.
Even the incredibly powerful Gongshu Yu was no match for that mysterious talisman maker.
If Wanxiang Pavilion gets involved again, aren't they courting death?
They've already made a mistake; they can't afford to make another one.
Tianjifang has no way out, but Wanxiangge still has room to maneuver.
At worst, we can prepare more gifts and go to their door to apologize later.
Just as the red-faced old man was thinking about what kind of apology he should prepare, his eyes suddenly narrowed.
A figure was seen plummeting rapidly from the sky, crashing onto the ground not far from the fighting group, knocking down several houses and raising clouds of dust.
Then, another figure descended from the sky and landed in the dust.
Such a commotion naturally could not be kept secret from those engaged in battle.
When Tianji Fangzhu looked up, his heart immediately turned cold.
The sky was now completely empty.
His mind raced, and with a gritted teeth, he shot out, trying to escape out of the city.
However, before he could escape even ten feet, he felt an incredibly heavy suppressive force descend upon him.
Even with his strength at the seventh level of the late Golden Core stage, he was completely unable to resist and was immediately suppressed in place, unable to move even a fraction of an inch.
Not only him, but also other Golden Core Realm experts, including the red-faced old man from the Myriad Manifestations Pavilion.
They all felt that the powerful suppressive force from before descending upon them once again, making them dare not make the slightest move.
And just like that, the battlefield, which had been raging with various magical lights, suddenly became quiet.
Because everyone knows that the man has returned from the sky.
All eyes were fixed on the cloud of smoke.
Thud, thud...
In the dead silence, footsteps could be heard coming from the smoke and dust.
Then, under everyone's watchful eyes, a figure slowly emerged from the smoke and dust.
It seemed like he was dragging something along in his hand.
Who else could it be but Lu Qing?
Lu Qing's expression remained calm at this moment.
Even the clothes he was wearing were perfectly neat.
Suddenly, he flicked his wrist and threw the thing he was dragging in front of him.
A heavy metallic clang rang out, smashing a small crater into the ground.
"Young Master Yu!"
The Master of the Heavenly Mystery Workshop let out a mournful cry.
Only then did everyone realize that the one Lu Qing had thrown out was actually that young master Gongshu.
However, at this moment, Gongshu Yu looked extremely miserable.
The magical armor was twisted and deformed, dull and lifeless, like scrap metal, stuck to Gongshu Yu's body.
As for Gongshu Yu himself, he was no longer recognizable as a human being, and had almost turned into a lump of rotten flesh.
There was only a faint trace of life, indicating that he was still alive and had not died completely.
Seeing this scene, everyone gasped, their hands and feet turned cold, and a chill ran through them.
They couldn't imagine what kind of torment Gongshu Yu had endured to become so miserable.
"Who...who are you?"
At this moment, a faint fluctuation of divine soul emanated from that mass of scrap metal and rotten flesh.
Gongshu Yu, who still had a sliver of hope left, asked a question out of resentment.
"You're about to die, what's the point of worrying about this?" Lu Qing said calmly.
"At least let me know who...who killed me."
The fluctuations in Gongshu Yu's soul were transmitted intermittently.
"Just think of me as an ordinary traveler passing through Xiaocangjie."
Upon hearing Lu Qing's perfunctory reply, Gongshu Yu, whose body had already turned into rotten flesh, trembled, seemingly furious.
But in the end, he calmed down.
"Can you spare my life? I'm willing to pay any price. Whatever treasure you want, I can give it to you."
I am now useless and pose no threat to you.
"Release me, and I can give you a plethora of treasures and cultivation techniques."
Gongshu Yu, however, begged for mercy.
“I never like to leave things to cause trouble.” Lu Qing shook his head. “I already gave you a chance to reconcile, but you refused.”
The lump of rotten flesh trembled again: "I am the direct descendant of the Gongshu family. If you kill me, the Gongshu family will never forgive you!"
Even if you flee to the ends of the earth, to the other side of the world, you will not escape the pursuit of the Gongshu family!
"If the Gongshu family were truly that powerful, they wouldn't just be one of the thirty-six superior clans of the Tianyuan Great World."
Lu Qing remained calm, showing no sign of being moved by Gongshu Yu's threat.
"I'm letting you live a little longer only because you just let me stretch my muscles properly."
"you!"
Such insulting words immediately enraged Gongshu Yu, and the rotten flesh began to writhe again.
"Alright, since you're already ruined anyway, go in peace and cultivate properly in your next life."
Having said that, Lu Qing snapped his fingers, about to end Gongshu Yu's life.
However, at that moment, a weak voice suddenly rang out: "Fellow Daoist, wait!"
Lu Qing paused for a moment.
Turning his head, he said, "Oh? Does the City Lord intend to plead for this person?"
The crowd, whose nerves were already stretched to the limit, shuddered and looked over with difficulty.
But the City Lord of Canglan, who had been unconscious, had now woken up and was half-lying against a broken wall.
"Fellow Daoist, you misunderstand. It is not that I, the city lord, am pleading for this person."
The City Lord of Canglan said weakly, "But this person is the direct descendant of the Gongshu family. If you really kill him, you will probably cause a huge problem."
The Gongshu family will spare no expense to hunt down and kill you, fellow Daoist, in order to avenge you.
No matter how high your cultivation level is, fellow Daoist, it may be difficult to withstand the pursuit of the powerful clans of the Tianyuan Great World.
Why must you, fellow Daoist, invite such a deadly fate?
Upon hearing this, disbelief appeared on everyone's faces.
No one expected that the Lord of Canglan City would actually speak up to plead for Gongshu Yu.
It should be noted that he nearly perished under the combined attack of three Nascent Soul Realm experts from the Gongshu family.
Later, Gongshu Yu even wanted to extract his primordial spirit and refine it into a lamp, tormenting him for a hundred years.
In this situation, the Lord of Canglan City actually spoke up to plead for him?
Even Gongshu Yu, who had already turned into rotten flesh, was stunned for a moment.
Lu Qing looked at the City Lord of Canglan with some curiosity: "Does the City Lord think that even if this person is spared, the Gongshu family will let me go after things have come to this point?"
"Of course not. The Gongshu family has always been petty and vindictive. How could they be willing to make peace so easily?"
The City Lord of Canglan's answer surprised Lu Qing once again: "Then why, City Lord..."
"The karma of killing Gongshu Yu is too great; it should not be borne by you, fellow Daoist. Let me bear it."
Lu Qing was taken aback.
But before he could say anything more, the Lord of Canglan City had already managed to unleash a wisp of his primordial spirit power and fly towards Gongshu Yu.
"No!"
Gongshu Yu never expected that the situation would take such a sudden turn for the worse.
It turns out that Nangong Yuanwu's plea for mercy was actually a ploy to kill him with his own hands.
Under the overwhelming threat of death, he trembled violently, trying to dodge and escape.
However, his physical body had already turned into a lump of flesh, and even his magical core had dissipated, so how could he still have the strength to move?
When the power of the Canglan City Lord's primordial spirit landed on him, it instantly annihilated his remaining divine consciousness.
The rotten flesh that Gongshu Yu had transformed into shuddered violently, and the last trace of life began to slowly dissipate.
