"This person's strength is so formidable! He can even kill a guardian beast at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm with a single punch?"
"How he tempered his physical body is simply unbelievable!"
"And what exactly is his invisible domain? It's a perfect counter to these strange beasts."
"This person in this secret realm is probably already qualified to challenge those Daoist disciples and saintesses!"
Seeing Lu Qing kill the ape-like beast with a single punch, the powerful figures watching the battle in the dense forest were all shocked.
They hadn't expected that Lu Qing could even kill a mid-stage Golden Core beast with a single punch.
They immediately realized that they had probably underestimated the strength of Lu Qing's physical body.
This person's physical strength has truly reached an unbelievable level, far exceeding their expectations!
"Brother Batian, this person actually held back some strength before!"
In a secluded spot in the dense forest, Shen Zangfeng, his face filled with surprise, spoke to Batian beside him.
“Indeed, I previously said that this person’s physical body was slightly stronger than mine, but now it seems that I was wrong. If he relies solely on his physical strength in this secret realm without using any magic weapons, we may not be able to defeat him.”
Ba Tian's expression was solemn.
The power that Lu Qing displayed had reached a level that even surprised him.
"It seems that besides Daoxu Temple and Biluo Palace, we have another opponent that we need to take seriously," Shen Zangfeng sighed.
On the other side, a clear, cold voice also rippled: "This person has a mysterious background and a powerful physique. If he enters the ancient tower, it will probably be easier for him than for us. Our plan may have to be brought forward."
"Ah Yu, this person was actually hiding his strength. Luckily, we listened to you and didn't fight him."
The woman said with great relief, referring to the location of the Gongshu family members.
As for Gongshu Yu, his face was gloomy.
Lu Qing has connections with the Qiankun Sect, and the stronger he becomes, the worse it is for him.
The powerful figures in the dense forest were lost in thought, each with their own ideas, but none of them could affect Lu Qing.
After killing the ape-like beast with a single punch and collecting its corpse and blood, Lu Qing had a general idea of the strength of these mid-stage Golden Core guardian beasts.
His strength was indeed formidable, but killing him wasn't particularly difficult for him.
He looked at the remaining Golden Core mid-stage guardian beasts, a glint of light in his eyes.
Without hesitation, they charged straight in.
Not long after, Lu Qing also hunted down all six guardian beasts at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm.
Only the last three enormous figures stood before the ancient tower.
Looking at the three figures, each over ten feet tall, Lu Qing thought for a moment but still didn't touch them.
Instead, he chose to retreat and wait quietly at the edge of the plain, taking out a spirit stone and meditating.
Soon, when the ancient tower released the strange beasts again, Lu Qing charged in once more.
This was destined to be a night that would greatly shock the powerful figures in the dense forest.
The mysterious young man was seen entering and exiting the ancient tower seven times, relentlessly hunting down the guardian beasts outside.
In total, they hunted down nearly a hundred guardian beasts!
"Doesn't this person feel tired? He's squandering his magical power like this. Did he prepare a lot of spirit stones and pills to enter the secret realm?"
"Such a frenzied hunt suggests that these guardian beasts must contain some great secret!"
"Perhaps this person's ability to possess such a powerful physical body is also related to this secret!"
"This ancient tower is also mysterious. Just how many Golden Core Realm beasts does it contain?"
The group of powerful figures in the dense forest stared in disbelief as Lu Qing frantically hunted down the guardian beasts outside the ancient tower.
They were both amazed by Lu Qing's sustained burst of combat power and shocked by the ancient tower's profound foundation.
They couldn't imagine how many strange beasts this ancient tower contained, but judging from the number of beasts it had released so far, it was almost comparable to the number of Golden Core Realm disciples of a large sect in the outside world.
"Um?"
After blasting away the last Golden Core mid-stage beast, Lu Qing suddenly felt a sense of unease.
He turned his head sharply, only to see the three enormous figures at the innermost part slowly turning their heads and looking down at him, as if they were showing signs of revival.
"Is it because I hunted too many exotic beasts, making several Golden Core stage exotic beasts unhappy, or did it trigger some kind of mechanism reaction in the ancient tower?"
Lu Qing's mind raced, but his actions were swift.
He immediately dodged and retreated quickly.
Those Golden Core Realm beasts were no ordinary creatures; even he felt threatened by them, so he didn't intend to fight them now.
Anyway, he has hunted down enough Golden Core beasts this time, and it's time to retreat.
Lu Qing was incredibly fast, and in the blink of an eye, he had reached the edge of the plain.
Those few Golden Core stage beasts ultimately failed to truly revive and returned to silence.
Just as Lu Qing was about to enter the dense forest, he suddenly stopped and quietly looked ahead.
"As expected of someone who can hunt down Golden Core level beasts at will, your keen senses are truly astonishing."
A voice filled with amazement came from the dense forest.
Immediately afterwards, dozens of figures walked out from inside.
Dozens of people, all with extraordinary auras, were all Golden Core Realm experts.
Especially the figures in front, whose auras were as deep as the abyss, were all powerful experts in the late stage of the Golden Core realm.
The one speaking was an elderly man walking at the very front.
Upon seeing this, the powerful figures in the dense forest stirred.
"It's people from the combined sects of Lan Hai Sect and Xuan Yuan Palace!"
"What are they trying to do? Are they planning to take advantage of the situation and kidnap this person?"
"Very likely. Didn't they also hunt down several guardian beasts yesterday? Perhaps they wanted to learn the secret from this one."
"With these sects united, they are the most powerful force in this secret realm, apart from the Overlord Clan, the Heavenly Sword Sect, and the Dao Xu Temple."
"Looks like this is going to be interesting."
Even the top-tier Golden Core cultivators like Ba Tian and Shen Zangfeng were quietly watching this scene.
The sudden appearance of these people from Lanhai Sect and Xuanyuan Palace was clearly for a specific purpose; they also wanted to see how this mysterious young man would respond.
The discussions in the dense forest were all transmitted through telepathy, so Lu Qing did not hear them.
But his expression didn't change much as he looked at the dozens of people in front of him.
He said calmly, "What is the meaning of you all blocking my way?"
"We mean no harm. We just see that you are very skilled and would like to be your friend," the old man said with a smile.
"Become friends?" Lu Qing looked at the other person with a half-smile. "I'm afraid it's not that simple, is it?"
"I have no other purpose than to sincerely wish to make your acquaintance."
The old man continued with a smile.
"I have no interest in making any friends. Farewell."
After saying this, Lu Qing was about to take a detour to leave.
The old man hadn't expected that despite his warm greeting, the other party would still be so disrespectful.
His expression immediately changed, and he reached out to stop him, saying, "Sir, wait a moment..."
However, before he could finish speaking, Lu Qing's gaze sharpened, and his blood and qi suddenly erupted.
In a flash, he was already in front of the old man.
Accompanied by the roar of a tiger and the cry of a dragon, a punch was already aimed at the opponent's chest.
This happened so suddenly; the old man hadn't expected Lu Qing to attack so abruptly.
Fortunately, he had always been very wary of Lu Qing, after all, this person had just hunted down nearly a hundred Golden Core level beasts.
How could he not be on guard against such a fierce demon?
So although he was shocked, he reacted immediately.
His mind surged wildly, and layers of precious light emerged from his body, firmly protecting him.
At the same time, he opened his mouth and spat out a stream of light that shot towards Lu Qing's face.
The light was moving at an extremely fast speed, arriving before Lu Qing, and was about to pierce through his head.
Lu Qing simply tilted his head slightly and dodged the attack.
His fist, however, struck the layers of protective light in front of the old man without any fancy moves.
boom!
Under Lu Qing's invincible fist, the layers of precious light in front of the old man were shattered in an instant, unable to withstand even a moment of resistance.
Then, that jade-like fist slammed into the old man's chest.
