Chapter 614: Chapter 614 Daily Quarrels_1
Zi Ling stared dumbfounded at the retreating figure of Li Qing.
"This damn thing, he really is pretending to play the pig to eat the tiger."
"He has such powerful Thunder Method at his disposal, and he’s still worried about not being able to kill a Qi Cultivation Peak cultivator?"
Moreover, this bastard is definitely not at the Qi Cultivation Stage, perhaps he’s at Foundation Establishment, or even higher.
A Qi Cultivation newbie who’s just starting out couldn’t possibly master such domineering Thunder Method.
Although Zi Ling’s sect may be considered a minor one without advanced techniques like the Thunder Method,
she knew quite a lot about the things in the Cultivation World.
Thunder Method, especially one as domineering as this, is not something just anyone can master.
Seeing Li Qing crouching among the items left by the Tomb Explorer Daoist, picking through them, Zi Ling walked over as well.
Just as she arrived, she heard Li Qing muttering to himself, "How can this be? I took the first hit outright, but the second time it touched me, it crumbled to dust. Damn it, this isn’t logical at all!"
Zi Ling was rendered speechless.
His words did sound like those of a newbie who had just started Qi Cultivation.
He didn’t even realize such an obvious thing.
"He must have a treasure on him," Zi Ling said irritably, "It’s probably a Magic Artifact for preserving life. The first Thunder Method attack was withstood by the Magic Artifact; it wasn’t his own strength. The second time, the Magic Artifact was destroyed, so he met such a straightforward end."
Li Qing suddenly came to a realization, "So, that’s what the ugly thing meant when it screamed about its protective magic artifact being destroyed."
"What a pity it’s destroyed; anything that can withstand one of my Thunder Method attacks must have been a good find."
It seemed that Black Arrow passed through the Tomb Explorer Daoist without injuring him because of that Magic Artifact as well.
Anything that could withstand Heavenly Punishment and also fool his Black Arrow was definitely a good thing.
"This Magic Artifact is clearly extraordinary, at the very least Yellow Tier. But if this thing hadn’t been destroyed, it would’ve been difficult for us to truly harm him," Zi Ling said, "Your Black Arrow is remarkable, but it seems to mainly target the Divine Soul. With that old thief having a protective Magic Artifact, your Black Arrow probably couldn’t do anything to him. We might end up being the ones to die."
Although Li Qing didn’t have a complete understanding of many things in the Cultivation World yet,
the things from Li Yuanxian were certainly stronger than that old ghost’s Magic Artifact!
If not, it would only mean he wasn’t using them right.
"You’d better not act rashly!" Li Qing suddenly scolded coldly.
Zi Ling, who had just reached out to pick up a broken jade bi on the ground, stiffened in her movements, then gritted her teeth and said, "I’m just looking, not competing with you, look at how stingy you’re being."
Unexpectedly, Li Qing didn’t respond to her at all but instead got up and walked toward the Bronze Gate.
"If you don’t want to end up blown to pieces like your master, I’d advise you to stay put and not touch anything," Li Qing said coldly, "Move a muscle... and you’re dead!"
Next to the Bronze Gate, the Tomb Explorer Daoist’s female disciple Xiao Yu watched the hovering black short arrow in front of her, hastily defending herself, "I didn’t mean to, I just... just really need to pee."
"Hold it, if you can’t hold it, pee in your pants, but if you move... you’re dead!" Li Qing said sternly with a stony face.
"I just..." Xiao Yu closed her slender legs together, her face showing discomfort.
But before she could finish, Li Qing’s cold and stern gaze was already fixed on her. "Or, die now!"
Confronted with Li Qing’s fierce and ruthless eyes, Xiao Yu’s body shook violently, and she nodded repeatedly.
Her previously mighty master had been blown to smithereens, leaving her no room to negotiate.
Li Qing walked over and helped the unconscious Lü Zong from the ground.
Of those who had been struck by lightning, only Lü Zong had lost consciousness. Yellow Hair Shisan and the disciple of the Tomb Explorer Daoist looked somewhat disheveled, but in fact, they weren’t seriously injured and were already acting as if nothing had happened.
Li Qing checked Lü Zong’s injuries and, finding that he was only unconscious and his organs weren’t damaged, finally let down his guard.
Otherwise, he might have had to look for help,
as he had neither the medicine nor the experience to treat such wounds.
Zi Ling came over and, without a word, shoved an elixir into Lü Zong’s mouth, "This is a Revival Elixir, very effective for minor injuries like this, 30,000 pieces, remember to reimburse me."
Li Qing was immediately speechless, "He’s just unconscious, why are you feeding him elixirs randomly?"
"Eyes red as blood, you call that just unconscious?" Zi Ling pulled back Lü Zong’s eyelid, "If you don’t know medicine, don’t pretend you do. You could kill someone acting like this. Bastard, accusing me of feeding him nonsense, I’m saving a life here, it’s you who’s messing things up."
Li Qing’s mouth twitched violently, "Alright then, I really don’t know medicine, and I’ll let it slide because you’re treating his wounds. Otherwise, I’d definitely let you know what it’s like to be in agony, to actually dare insult me!"
"I’m not wrong, you’re just a pretentious, pathetic, sleazy bastard," Zi Ling said with a tilt to her mouth, chin up in defiance.
"Call me a bastard again, and I’ll make sure you regret it," Li Qing growled.
This woman was getting a bit too bold.
Looking at her harmlessly-appearing face, Li Qing felt a surge of fury well up inside him.
Zi Ling didn’t budge an inch, her proud chest pushed forward, challenging him, "If you can, then do it!"
"It seems all you think about every day is this sort of thing, so I’ll satisfy you. Just admit you’re a bastard, and what could I possibly do to you? Besides, isn’t that why you’ve kept this woman around — harboring such thoughts?"
"She just consumed something from her hideous master, and yet you could lower yourself to that, you’re really something else!"
Li Qing’s face turned instantly as black as the bottom of a pot.
"I’ll have you know, I’ve been civil to you out of respect for Hong Fang Zhenren’s wishes. If you continue to spew nonsense, you’ll truly regret it. I don’t have such a temper," Li Qing said in a cold voice.
Seeing the thick, almost tangible, murderous intent in Li Qing’s eyes, Zi Ling realized that he was seriously contemplating killing her.
Instantly, her confidence diminished, and she muttered softly, "I didn’t say anything wrong. Otherwise, why would you kill everyone else and keep just this one? Isn’t it because she’s pretty, and you want to do disgusting things?"
Li Qing: ...
He took a deep breath, reminding himself not to get angry, not to get angry; this woman had a mouth as sore as her brain.
"We’re officials, not bandits. This woman clearly has no strength left to fight. Why kill her? Doesn’t the agency require a living witness?" Li Qing said through gritted teeth.
Zi Ling hesitated for a moment, "Fine, bastard, I apologize to you!"
"Call me a bastard again, and I’ll definitely make you pay," Li Qing said furiously.
"You’re the one who smacked my butt. If you’ve got the guts, kill me," Zi Ling scoffed.
