When Lu Qing's fist landed on the old man's chest, everyone's eyes widened.
They had all witnessed firsthand how ferocious Lu Qing's fists were.
Even the most physically powerful Golden Core level beasts could not withstand it and were killed with a single punch.
Although this old man was a powerful expert at the late Golden Core stage, his strength was formidable, ranking him among the top in the entire secret realm.
But they still didn't think he could withstand the power of this mysterious young man's punches.
Just as they expected, the old man was punched in the chest by Lu Qing, spitting out blood. His body flew backward like a cannonball, crashing into the dozens of figures behind him.
The ferocity of his departure caused everyone behind him to turn pale.
Fortunately, as Golden Core Realm experts, they reacted quickly and worked together to support the old man, preventing him from crashing into the tree behind him.
However, when they saw the old man's condition, they were all shocked.
The old man's chest collapsed, and his outer robe was completely shattered, revealing a broken inner armor underneath.
His breathing was extremely weak, and he had completely fallen into a state of unconsciousness.
Elder Yu!
The disciples of the Canglan Sect immediately exclaimed in surprise.
But the old man was no longer able to respond to them.
The group of powerful figures who followed the old man out all looked grim.
None of them expected that in just one exchange, one of the most powerful among them would be crippled by Lu Qing with a single punch.
Judging from Elder Yu's injuries, even in the outside world, it would require a large number of precious pills to heal him.
Now, in this barren secret realm with scarce spiritual energy, whether they can survive is still a question.
"You went too far. Elder Yu only wanted to befriend you, and you crippled him outright. Your heart is far too cruel."
A middle-aged man then spoke with a gloomy expression.
Its aura was equally strong, similar to that of the old man who had been crippled by Lu Qing.
"Have you ever seen someone bring dozens of people to make friends with others?" Lu Qing said calmly. "You all know in your hearts what your purpose is in coming here in such large numbers."
He was lucky this time, wearing a precious armor; otherwise, my punch would have done more than just cripple him.
"If you think you can take a beating better than the guardian beasts inside, then you can try stopping me again."
Upon hearing Lu Qing's blatant threat, everyone standing in front of him froze.
They recalled the scene of Lu Qing slaughtering a group of Golden Core Realm beasts all by himself, and then looked at Elder Yu, who had been crippled by Lu Qing with a single punch.
Many people immediately felt the urge to back out.
No matter how strong they are, their cultivation level is no match for Elder Yu, and their physical bodies are no match for those guardian beasts.
If Lu Qing were to punch someone, they would surely be shattered to pieces.
But if so many of them came out, and now one of them is crippled, and they retreat in such a humiliating manner, they would lose face terribly.
If word gets out, how will their major sects maintain their foothold in the Tianyuan Great World in the future?
For a moment, everyone hesitated again.
However, Lu Qing did not give them time to hesitate. Seeing that they still did not retreat, he lightly tapped his feet, and the Earth Vein Elemental Magnetic Domain unfolded. The invisible elemental magnetic power immediately enveloped everyone.
"If you're not going to back down, then don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Lu Qing pressed down with his hand, and dozens of people in front of him instantly felt an incomparably powerful pressure descend upon them.
Suddenly, his body felt a hundred times, even hundreds of times heavier!
"This is the power of the earth's magnetic veins!"
"So the formless power he used to restrict the movement of the alien beasts was the power of the earth's ley lines magnetic field? But how could it be so powerful!"
"Why is he still able to unleash such powerful earth vein magnetic force even under the suppression of this secret realm?!"
"not good!"
Previously, when Lu Qing was hunting strange beasts in the plains, because of the distance, the group of powerful figures did not know exactly what kind of power Lu Qing used.
But at this moment, after experiencing it firsthand, they finally realized that it was the power of the earth's magnetic veins.
Furthermore, the earth vein magnetic power that Lu Qing controlled was beyond their imagination.
He was able to suppress so many of them all by himself.
Feeling the weight on their bodies, dozens of powerful individuals quickly unleashed their magical power, trying to break free from the shackles of the magnetic force.
However, when Lu Qing gently pressed down with his palm, they felt the heaviness on their bodies increase again.
Apart from a few late-stage Golden Core Realm experts, everyone else felt a weight on their backs and couldn't help but bend over.
The dozen or so Golden Core cultivators with the weakest cultivation levels were directly pressed to the ground, unable to move.
"Your Excellency, please spare us! We will never dare to do it again!"
As Lu Qing's hand slowly pressed down, the pressure on his body continued to rise rapidly, almost to the point where he would explode and die.
Those with relatively weak cultivation at the early Golden Core stage immediately showed fear and begged for mercy.
Upon hearing the pleas for mercy, the expressions of the late-stage Golden Core experts immediately changed.
However, Lu Qing's Earth Vein Magnetic Domain was too strange. Although they could still hold on, they were unable to share the burden with their companions.
At this rate of increase in pressure, soon, those behind will likely be unable to hold on any longer.
At this moment, several late-stage Golden Core cultivators felt an intense hatred for the strange environment of this secret realm.
If they were in the outside world, where spiritual energy is abundant, their magical power would resonate with the power of heaven and earth, and they would not be so easily suppressed!
But now, he has fallen into a trap and is being bullied by dogs. He was actually suppressed by a young man with a local geomantic domain. It is a disgrace!
He was determined to unleash his trump card and fight Lu Qing to the death.
But if that happens, the people behind them might lose their lives.
Thinking of this, the middle-aged man gritted his teeth and had no choice but to lower his head and say, "Sir, we were in the wrong. Please be magnanimous and forgive our fellow disciples."
Lu Qing stopped, but the magnetic force exerted on everyone did not disappear; he simply watched them quietly.
The middle-aged man felt a chill run down his spine as he watched, and then said, "If you want to live, you can. Whoever offers a Golden Core level cultivation technique, I will spare his life."
"A Golden Core level cultivation technique?" The middle-aged man was taken aback.
The other powerful figures were also stunned.
No one expected that Lu Qing would suddenly make such a request.
"That's right, my patience is limited. I'll count to five, and if you're still not willing, then don't blame me for being ruthless."
Lu Qing slowly began to count: "Five, four, three..."
As he counted, Lu Qing pressed his hand down again.
The pressure on everyone increased sharply once again.
Those with weaker cultivation levels couldn't withstand the immense pressure that threatened to crush them before Lu Qing could even finish shouting, and they cried out loudly.
"I am willing, I am willing, I am willing to offer up a Golden Core level cultivation technique, please have mercy!"
