With Lu Qing unleashing his full power, the Heaven-Shattering Sword Qi he unleashed was simply unstoppable, possessing a true power capable of cleaving the heavens and destroying everything.
The three powerful beings at the initial stage of the Nascent Soul realm didn't even have time to dodge before the sword energy swept past their bodies.
Instantly, the three Nascent Soul Realm cultivators froze for a moment, then fell from the sky.
Not only was the life force within his body completely extinguished and dissipated, but when his body crashed into the building below, it broke in two, filling the air with a stench of blood.
This scene caused the other Nascent Soul Realm experts who were rushing forward to be greatly shocked. They immediately stopped and stared in disbelief at the three Nascent Soul Realm corpses below.
After confirming that they had truly perished, he looked at Lu Qing with a face full of fear.
He killed three Nascent Soul Realm cultivators with a single sword strike!
This mysterious person who escaped from the inner city and was specifically ordered to be stopped by the patriarch of the Gongshu family is actually such a terrifying figure!
More importantly, the sword energy they had just witnessed made them tremble from the bottom of their hearts.
That was the true aura of death.
This means that if it were them, they would also be killed by this sword, with no chance of survival!
Under the powerful threat of death, all the Nascent Soul cultivators in the outer city looked at Lu Qing with extreme fear and dared not move forward.
"Get out of the way if you don't want to die!"
After slaying three Nascent Soul Realm cultivators with a single strike of the Heaven-Shattering Sword Qi, Lu Qing once again transformed into a streak of light and flew away.
This time, none of the powerful Nascent Soul cultivators from the outer city dared to stop them.
They were all stunned and stood frozen in place, not daring to make the slightest move, watching helplessly as Lu Qing flew out of the city.
"Damn it, these bunch of useless trash!"
Inside the inner city, the white-haired, youthful-looking old man sensed this scene through the array, and was both shocked and furious.
What was astonishing was the sheer strength of that thief; despite being only a Golden Core cultivator, he was able to kill three Nascent Soul cultivators with a single sword strike.
What angered them was that the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators in the outer city had actually been intimidated like this; they were simply useless!
The dozen or so patriarchs of the Gongshu family standing in front of the inner city wall were equally shocked and furious.
I never expected these good-for-nothings to be so cowardly and afraid of death.
"You bunch of good-for-nothings, if you let him escape from the city, I won't let you off!"
The white-haired, youthful-looking old man let out a roar of his primordial spirit, his mind racing once more as he prepared to open the array light barrier on the inner city wall.
Forcibly stopping the formation would damage the Zhou Tian Xing Chen Formation, but he couldn't care less about that at the moment.
"Oh no! The Ancestor is furious!"
Those Nascent Soul Realm cultivators in the outer city were greatly alarmed upon hearing this roar.
I know that if I don't do something, I'll probably have no way to explain myself later.
Immediately, all the powerful beings of the Primordial Spirit staged action once again.
This time, however, they dared not approach Lu Qing again. Instead, they unleashed their Taoist arts and magical treasures to bombard Lu Qing.
I don't seek merit, I only hope to delay him for a moment, then I will have accomplished my mission.
"Hmph! You're asking for death!"
Lu Qing's gaze was cold. With a casual wave of his hand, countless sword energies instantly condensed in the air and went in all directions.
The Heaven-Shattering Sword Qi was unparalleled in power, and with a group of powerful Nascent Soul cultivators only half-heartedly trying to avoid Lu Qing's attention, the situation became even more complicated.
The countless Taoist arts and magical treasures were cleaved and repelled by Lu Qing's sword energy, posing no threat to him.
However, it did manage to slow him down considerably.
Lu Qing understood that he couldn't delay any longer. Although he still had trump cards up his sleeve, he didn't want to use them here.
Immediately, he opened his palm, and a ball of light suddenly formed, which rapidly spread within a breath, enveloping all the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators within a radius of dozens of miles, revealing a sky full of stars.
"What's this?"
All the Nascent Soul cultivators who were immersed in the realm of swordsmanship were immediately taken aback and became vigilant.
Their bodies shimmered with precious light, each adding layers of defense to themselves.
"cut!"
Lu Qing gave a soft shout.
The countless stars in the sky instantly transformed into countless sword lights, forming a sword array that crushed towards the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators within the sword realm.
"Oh no! Everyone, let's join forces!"
Sensing the power emanating from the sword array formed by the Starry Sky Sword Light, the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators within the Sword Dao Domain dared not be careless and {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} immediately joined forces to resist the sword array.
Lu Qing, after activating the Seven Star Sword Formation, didn't even glance at it again before instantly disappearing and continuing to fly out of the city.
He knew that with so many powerful beings at the Nascent Soul stage, even the Sword Dao Domain could only hold them off for a breath or two at most, and it was impossible to truly surround and kill them.
His ability to kill those three Nascent Soul Realm cultivators was largely due to the element of surprise.
Now that these powerful beings at the Nascent Soul stage have joined forces to adopt a defensive posture, even he will find it difficult to do anything about it for the time being.
Fortunately, his goal was only to stop these Nascent Soul Realm cultivators.
A breath or two is more than enough for him.
Transforming into a beam of sword light, Lu Qing accelerated once more, reaching his maximum speed with no one stopping him.
Once the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators in the Sword Dao Domain broke out of the formation, all they saw was his already departing figure.
"Useless! Useless!"
The white-haired, youthful-looking old man in the inner city was furious at the sight.
Seeing Lu Qing's escape light getting further and further away, he could no longer care about anything else. He spat out a breath of primordial energy and landed on the Zhou Tian Array Plate.
With a soft cracking sound, a crack about the length of a finger appeared on the array plate.
At the same time, all the array formations and light barriers in Zhou Tian City, both the inner and outer city, shattered and completely dissipated.
However, the white-haired, youthful-looking old man spared no expense, even at the cost of damaging the core of the formation, to forcibly stop the entire formation.
"The formation has stopped?"
The moment the Zhou Tian Star Array stopped operating, both the dozen or so Gongshu family patriarchs and Lu Qing noticed it immediately.
After a brief moment of surprise, the dozen or so patriarchs of the Gongshu family all surged with power and immediately chased after Lu Qing.
And their speeds increased dramatically, becoming several times faster than when they were in the inner city.
The white-haired, youthful-looking old man glanced at the cracks on the Zhou Tian Array Plate with some heartache. After putting it away, a spatial fluctuation flashed around him, and he disappeared from the spot.
He was originally a powerful primordial spirit who had begun to comprehend the Dao of Space. Previously, due to the existence of the Zhou Tian Star Array, the space within Zhou Tian City was suppressed, which prevented him from using the technique of spatial teleportation.
Now that he has forcibly stopped the great formation, he can finally unleash his true power.
"The Zhou Tian Star Formation has stopped, and the spatial suppression has been lifted!"
Just a breath before the white-haired, youthful-looking figure disappeared, Lu Qing realized what had happened.
Without a second thought, a jade talisman immediately appeared in his hand, which he activated.
A spatial force enveloped him, and in the next instant, his figure vanished from the spot.
"What?"
Everyone who witnessed Lu Qing's disappearance was shocked, their eyes filled with disbelief.
"Spatial power?"
The instant Lu Qing disappeared, the figure of the white-haired, youthful-looking old man appeared in his location.
However, seeing the empty surroundings and the lingering spatial fluctuations in the air, his expression turned extremely grim.
Without a second thought, his figure vanished again, but he followed the spatial fluctuations and chased after them.
"That thief actually knows the art of spatial teleportation?"
The dozen or so patriarchs of the Gongshu family who had just arrived were shocked and filled with resentment as they looked at the empty space before them.
Although their cultivation levels were high, they were still far inferior to their father's and had not comprehended the technique of spatial teleportation, so they were unable to catch up at all.
The only hope now is that my father can capture that thief.
However, thinking of the various methods and schemes that the thief had previously displayed, for some reason, the patriarchs of the Gongshu family had a vague sense of unease.
"Someone's catching up. Is it that old guy?"
Hundreds of miles away from Zhou Tian City, Lu Qing, who had just emerged from the void, had a slight change in expression.
He sensed a strong spatial fluctuation spreading from the void behind him.
They immediately realized that a powerful being had used spatial teleportation to catch up with them, following the spatial fluctuations of the teleportation talisman.
Without hesitation, he activated the teleportation jade talisman again, and his figure disappeared from the spot.
Less than a breath after he disappeared, the figure of the white-haired, youthful-looking old man appeared from the void.
His face was ashen as he stared at the empty sky, sensing that the spatial fluctuations had not dissipated, and knew that the thief had escaped again.
"Do you think you can get away?"
The white-haired, youthful-looking old man snorted coldly and chased after them again.
He had figured it out: this thief didn't know how to teleport, but rather he must have possessed a spatial magic artifact.
Otherwise, a powerful being who has mastered the art of spatial teleportation would not be able to travel a mere few hundred miles.
In this way, the thief will inevitably be unable to escape his grasp.
And so, Lu Qing and the white-haired, youthful-looking old man moved through space one after another, their figures flashing in the air, each covering a distance of hundreds of miles.
However, Lu Qing's choice of teleportation direction was not fixed, but rather arbitrary.
The purpose of doing this was, of course, to prevent the old ghost behind him from calculating his teleportation point and lying in wait in advance.
"This is a bit troublesome."
His figure reappeared in mid-air, and Lu Qing's eyes became somewhat solemn as he sensed the spatial fluctuations behind him.
The old ghost was chasing him so persistently, clearly determined not to give up until he caught up with him.
If this continues, the teleportation jade talismans in his possession will eventually run out.
"I should have prepared more teleportation jade talismans."
Lu Qing sighed, and his figure disappeared again.
However, he also knew that no matter how many teleportation jade talismans he prepared, when it came to a contest of consumption, it would definitely be this kind of primordial spirit old monster.
"This can't go on."
Lu Qing knew that she had to make a decision.
Continuing to flee like this will be disadvantageous for him.
After all, if he makes even one mistake, he's easily caught.
And as time goes on, this probability will only increase.
After all, a powerful being who has comprehended the laws of space has a high probability of being able to calculate the pattern of his teleportation.
"We have no choice but to use our trump card," Lu Qing sighed inwardly.
He has two options to get out of his current situation.
First, we can utilize the secret realm stone tablet bestowed by that mysterious being within the secret realm of Tian Shu Divine Mountain.
This stone tablet was crafted by that great being. It can be used anywhere to teleport him back to the secret realm.
However, the stone tablet can only be used three times, making it extremely precious, and he must use it with utmost care.
Besides the Secret Realm Stone Tablet, another option is the Void Flying Boat.
Gongshu Laogui, who was chasing after him, was clearly quite accomplished in the Dao of Space.
The distance that can be used for spatial teleportation is bound to be quite long.
But no matter how powerful his spatial teleportation technique is, it can never compare to the void-traveling ability of the Void Flying Boat.
As long as he uses the Void Flying Boat, he will surely be able to get rid of it.
However, the Void Flying Boat is a high-grade spiritual artifact. Although that old ghost might not be able to recognize it, once the news leaks out, his identity will inevitably become the target of public criticism once again.
At that time, countless forces and powerful individuals will be eyeing him.
"Forget it, there are already enough forces looking for me, so one more won't make a difference. At worst, I can just change my identity again."
Moreover, the gains this time have been so great that I can go into seclusion again without having to travel around anymore.
After sensing the situation in the Fire Cauldron and the Universe Qi Bag, Lu Qing finally made a decision.
He used the teleportation talisman once again, moving hundreds of miles away.
The moment his figure appeared, Lu Qing summoned the Void Flying Boat, transforming it into a streak of light as he flew into the boat. His entire body surged with magical power, propelling the flying boat forward at top speed.
Instantly, an incomparably powerful spatial fluctuation surged around the void flying boat.
Just then, a figure appeared in mid-air.
"What's this?"
The white-haired, youthful-looking old man originally thought he would miss his target again, and he was even prepared to use his spatial teleportation technique once more.
But what he saw before him took him by surprise.
Right in front of him, a silver flying boat was floating in the air, surrounded by spatial power that shocked him. A spatial vortex had already formed in front of the boat.
"Trying to run? Stay here!"
The white-haired, youthful-looking old man's expression changed drastically. In a flash, he guessed that the flying boat was likely the spatial treasure controlled by the thief.
Without hesitation, he slammed his palm out, and a giant hand made of spatial power reached out to grab the void flying boat.
But just before the spatial force could grasp it, the Void Flying Boat suddenly trembled, unleashing terrifying power that directly shattered the giant hand.
Then, with a sudden leap, it rushed into the spatial vortex and disappeared.
The white-haired, youthful-looking old man's mind raced as he sensed the lingering spatial fluctuations, wanting to use his spatial teleportation technique to continue the pursuit.
But the next moment, his expression turned extremely ugly.
His eyes revealed disbelief: "How is this possible?!"
However, it was discovered that the distance the flying boat had traveled through the void, as indicated by the spatial fluctuations, was incredibly far.
With his current mastery of spatial manipulation, he simply cannot move such a vast distance.
If you force yourself to follow, you'll likely get lost in that endless spatial turbulence.
