"I am merely a passerby who happened to be passing by," Lu Qing said calmly. "Do you still wish to fight?"
Li Motian stared intently at Lu Qing, momentarily hesitant.
Originally, he intended to capture the girl, absorb her essence and blood to enhance his own cultivation.
Then he returned to the Qiankun Sect to continue his infiltration.
As for the deaths of Zixiao and the others, he had already prepared for them and found a reason.
But now, Lu Qing's appearance has disrupted his plan.
Unless he can kill Lu Qing here and silence everyone else.
Otherwise, the only option is to retreat and flee for your life.
After all, once his identity is exposed, he will have no place to stand in this righteous realm.
Thinking of this, Li Motian's killing intent surged up again.
He has paid too high a price over the years in his quest for revenge.
Many arrangements were also made within the Qiankun Sect.
He absolutely cannot let all his years of hard work go to waste!
Once he escapes this time, it will be extremely difficult for him to get revenge in the future, and he will probably never have another chance.
So no matter who is in front of him, if they dare to block his way, he will kill them without mercy!
"So, you've made your decision?"
Lu Qing sensed the killing intent emanating from Li Motian and shook his head.
"I've already given you a chance, but since you didn't cherish it, don't blame me."
Although Lu Qing felt some sympathy for the man's tragic situation.
But since they've already shown him murderous intent, he naturally doesn't need to hold back anymore.
"I, Li, acknowledge your formidable strength, but anyone who stands in my way of revenge is my enemy. Prepare to die!"
Li Motian's tone was extremely cold.
Once the intention to kill was formed, he held nothing back.
He unleashed the full power of the black flames that surrounded him.
The next moment, black flames flew out, but they did not directly attack Lu Qing.
Instead, it flew to the surrounding area, transforming into countless black runes that enveloped a space of about half a mile in radius.
The black runes intertwined, and a large array was formed in an instant, completely trapping Lu Qing and the girl inside.
Then, a powerful force erupted, and a large amount of black fire surged out from the formation, sweeping towards Lu Qing and the other person.
"Fellow Daoist!"
The girl felt the terrifying pressure of the formation, her body trembled, and she couldn't help but move closer to Lu Qing.
As for Li Motian, seeing that Lu Qing was so arrogant and so easily trapped in his formation, he couldn't help but reveal a cruel smile.
This 【Black Fire Purgatory Array】 is his last trump card.
Once trapped and locked within the formation, the only way to break through it is with overwhelming power.
Otherwise, they would have to endure the burning of his 【Soul-Devouring Demonic Fire】 and be refined to death.
With the treasure he obtained in the cave, he gained even greater control over the formation, and its power was greatly enhanced.
Even a top-tier Golden Core cultivator at the eighth or ninth stage of the late Golden Core realm would find it difficult to break free from the formation in a short time once trapped within it.
Therefore, Lu Qing and the other person trapped in the formation now only have one fate.
That means he burned them to ashes, completely annihilating their souls.
Just as Li Motian was preparing to enjoy watching how Lu Qing and the other person would wail in agony under the burning of his demonic fire,
But he saw that just as he was about to be engulfed by the demonic fire, Lu Qing slowly raised his arm and then gently pressed it down.
Then, he saw an unbelievable scene.
As Lu Qing made this move, an immense and boundless power surged forth, instantly extinguishing all the demonic fire.
Even the 【Blackfire Purgatory Array】, which he considered his last trump card, was as fragile as a piece of paper.
It didn't even last a moment before it exploded.
Those countless black runes vanished into thin air.
"impossible!"
Li Motian stared in shock at the scene.
But before he could make his next move, his eyes suddenly widened.
Lu Qing, who was originally more than a hundred feet away from him, had appeared a few feet in front of him at some point.
They pointed their fingers together to form a sword, slowly aiming it at him.
An overwhelming fear rose in Li Motian's heart. He tried to dodge, but found that no matter how hard he tried, he could not move his body.
He could only watch in utter horror as Lu Qing's sword finger gently touched the space between his eyebrows.
Then, endless darkness surged up, and his consciousness was gradually swallowed up.
When Li Motian's body fell from the sky, it smashed a huge rock on the ground, causing it to collapse.
The girl finally realized what was happening.
He stammered, "Fellow Daoist, what...what did you do to Li Motian?"
"He's dead," Lu Qing said calmly.
"Dead, dead?"
The girl stared in disbelief at Li Motian's corpse below.
That powerful demon who easily defeated Senior Brother Zixiao and the others, and who was no match for Senior Sister Ye.
How could he be so easily killed by this seemingly ordinary young man?
The girl was utterly shocked, and even began to doubt whether what was happening before her eyes was a dream.
However, as a Golden Core cultivator, she was still able to distinguish between dreams and reality.
In addition, there was Li Motian's corpse below, whose life force was slowly dissipating.
She finally accepted the fact that this powerful demon had indeed been killed by Lu Qing.
My tense mind finally relaxed.
As soon as she relaxed, she felt her limbs go weak. If she hadn't been in mid-air, she probably would have collapsed to the ground and wouldn't have been able to get up.
The girl was about to thank Lu Qing when she suddenly realized something.
"Oh right, what about Senior Brother Zixiao and the others!"
Immediately, he forgot all about thanking Lu Qing, forced himself to stay alert, and staggered back the way he came.
Upon seeing this, Lu Qing's heart stirred slightly, and he followed suit, slowly flying forward.
Soon, he followed the girl to a valley that was in complete disarray.
On the mountain wall, there was a deep cave entrance, and in the valley, there were several cultivators with miserable appearances, their eyes closed, their fate unknown.
"Senior Brother Zixiao! Senior Brother Hong! Senior Brother Han!"
Upon seeing the group of people in the valley, the girl let out a mournful cry and quickly descended to check on their condition.
Then, a look of immense surprise appeared on her face.
"They're not dead! Senior Brother Zixiao and the others are not dead!"
After saying that, he took out healing pills from his storage bag and tried his best to stuff them into the mouths of the group.
Lu Qing was somewhat surprised to see that the others were still alive.
Judging from Li Motian's appearance, he doesn't seem like a kind-hearted person.
However, he immediately recalled the information on the note he had previously extracted from Li Motian.
He immediately realized that Li Motian had spared these people's lives because he wanted to use their souls to cultivate demonic arts.
He thought for a moment, then approached the woman whose breath was the faintest.
Looking at the other person's completely broken, twisted and deformed limbs, and the horrific scars on their face.
Lu Qing thought to himself that Li Motian was indeed ruthless, capable of being so cruel even to his fellow disciples whom he had known for many years.
Sensing the almost completely extinguished life force within the woman's body, and knowing that without intervention, there would truly be no hope of recovery, Lu Qing did not hesitate.
He took out a healing talisman that he had refined before, which was of the Golden Core level.
Driven by thought, it hovers above the other party.
The talismanic light surged and shone on the woman, revealing that her wounds were slowly healing.
However, the vitality within his body did not increase much.
Lu Qing frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then took out a fist-sized white fruit and gently cracked its skin.
He then pried open the woman's mouth and dripped the life-giving liquid inside into her mouth.
Xiao Li, who had been resting on Lu Qing's shoulder, recognized him immediately.
This white fruit was one of their harvests over the past few days—a top-grade spiritual fruit.
According to Lu Qing, this is a sacred healing fruit with extremely strong vitality.
Although Xiao Li found the fruit herself, she simply rested quietly on Lu Qing's shoulder and did not disturb him.
The juice from the white fruit dripped into the woman's mouth.
However, the woman, who was on her last breath, had already lost the ability to swallow.
In the end, Lu Qing used his magic to directly deliver the medicine into her body.
Next, Lu Qing took out a set of golden needle magic treasures, condensed his magic power into threads, and made the golden needles float around him.
Even the woman was supported by his magic and suspended in mid-air.
Immediately afterwards, the golden needles floating around Lu Qing, guided by the magical threads, accurately pierced the major acupoints all over the woman's body.
While helping her to activate the medicine, it also stimulated her vitality.
Under Lu Qing's repeated efforts, finally, the faint, almost completely extinguished life force within the woman's body began to pulsate and gradually strengthen.
"Senior Brother Zixiao and the others clearly swallowed the pills, so why can't they wake up! Fellow Daoist..."
On the other side, the girl, unaware of Lu Qing's actions, was feeding pills to the purple-clad youth and the others.
However, it was discovered that after Senior Brother Zixiao and the others swallowed the sect's healing pills...
Although his injuries have improved somewhat, the effect is very weak, and he is unable to wake up.
Just as she was at a loss and wanted to ask Lu Qing for help, she turned her head and saw Lu Qing treating the woman.
She was first startled by the strange phenomenon before her, especially when she sensed the growing vitality within the woman's body.
His mouth slowly opened wide involuntarily: "Senior Sister Ye, she's still alive?"
Lu Qing, who was focused on saving lives, did not answer her question.
However, the girl was already certain that Senior Sister Ye was not dead.
Her eyes were filled with surprise, but this time she covered her mouth tightly, not daring to make a sound, for fear of affecting Lu Qing's treatment of Senior Sister Ye.
At the same time, her mind was filled with countless questions.
The young man before us is truly extraordinary.
Not only was his strength beyond her comprehension, but even a terrifying demon like Li Motian was no match for him.
Now he has demonstrated his superb medical skills, and even Senior Sister Ye, whom they thought had already died, has been brought back to life by him.
For a time, Lu Qing became a mystery in the girl's heart.
She encountered this fellow Daoist by chance while fleeing for her life, and he ultimately saved her.
She was incredibly curious about his background and who he studied under.
Under the girl's gaze, Lu Qing performed a complete set of acupuncture techniques.
The medicinal power of the white fruit is fully activated and integrated into the woman's body.
It also protects the vital energy in the heart meridian, allowing it to gradually strengthen.
As the medicinal effects continued to permeate the woman's body, the vital energy she possessed, representing the origin of life, gradually returned.
Finally, when the life force recovered to a certain extent, the woman let out a soft moan and slowly opened her eyes.
Upon waking, the woman was initially bewildered by the sight of a dazzling golden light before her.
Then she heard a joyful shout: "Senior Sister Ye, you're awake!"
"That's Xiaojing's voice. Where am I?"
The woman was somewhat bewildered as she turned to look in the direction from which the sound came.
The next moment, she felt intense pain emanating from her limbs and bones, which she could hardly bear and almost cried out in pain.
At that moment, a gentle voice reached her ears.
"Don't move. Your limbs are completely broken, and your heart meridian is also severely damaged."
Now I'm going to help you set your bones back in place, regulate your meridians, and repair your internal organs.
This process will be somewhat painful; please bear with it for a while.
"My limbs are broken, and my hands are severely injured?"
The woman was stunned at first, and then everything that happened before she fainted was finally recalled by her in a flash.
"Yes, we were originally exploring a cave somewhere underground."
However, Li Motian suddenly switched sides, revealing his identity as a demonic cultivator.
In the end, I covered Zixiao and the others' retreat, but I was easily defeated by Li Motian and lost consciousness.
Am I not dead? Where am I? Why {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} is Xiaojing here? Did they fail to escape?
And who is this man treating her right now? Where is Li Motian?
In an instant, countless questions arose in the woman's mind.
She had no idea what had happened while she was unconscious.
However, the woman had no time to think about these things.
Because after giving her instructions, Lu Qing was already able to start reconnecting her severed limbs.
Under intense pain, the woman could only abandon thinking, concentrate her attention, and guard her mind to avoid fainting from the pain.
Fortunately, Lu Qing's medical skills were superb, and he quickly and perfectly reattached all the bones.
However, reconnecting the bones is a minor matter; the real major project is to connect and unblock the meridians.
The meridians in the woman's limbs and bones were severely damaged; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they were in complete disarray.
Even the dantian (lower abdomen) and dantian (lower abdomen) are beyond control.
It will take a lot of effort to connect and unblock all of them.
Even Lu Qing had to secretly use distraction techniques to complete the project quickly.
Finally, after a quarter of an hour, Lu Qing finished connecting and clearing the last tiny meridian for the woman.
The woman, who was trying to calm herself, suddenly trembled.
The dantian qi sea that she had been unable to control reappeared in her senses.
That dull and lifeless golden core of magical power can finally be activated.
Almost subconsciously, she began to circulate her golden core.
Instantly, the surrounding spiritual energy was drawn in and entered her body.
