I Can See Through Everything

Chapter 203

Chapter 203

"He actually escaped from the city? How could he be so fast?"

Sensing Lu Qing's presence outside the city, the elderly woman of the Zheng family was both shocked and furious.

She had not paused for a moment, pushing her speed to the limit towards the city gate. Yet that little beast managed to escape ahead of her?

Just then, she sensed Lu Qing's aura weaken drastically, as if he had suffered a severe injury.

"Let's see how you escape now!"

The elderly woman of the Zheng family was overjoyed. She realized that the little beast must have used some secret technique that harmed his body to escape the city ahead of her. Otherwise, how could a Postnatal Realm cultivator outpace her, a Precelestial Realm expert?

A technique that could burst forth with speed rivaling a Precelestial must come at a price. Now, with his aura greatly diminished, the secret technique's time must be up, and the aftereffects were setting in.

Without hesitation, the elderly woman discarded the guard she was holding and rushed outside the city.

She feared that if she delayed, the little beast might use his method to hide his presence again, turning the chase into a game of cat and mouse.

After this long pursuit, she had figured out that his method of concealing his aura couldn't be used continuously and had a time limit. Otherwise, with his cunning, he could easily hide in such a large city, making it difficult for her to find him again.

The elderly woman charged out of the city, and the guard she threw hit the ground hard, instantly bleeding from the head. If he hadn't had some martial skills and reached the Muscle and Bone Realm, he might have lost his life from this fall.

"Old Chen, are you alright?"

A companion, who had been cowering nearby, hurried over to help him up.

"I'm fine, just lost half my life."

Old Chen smiled bitterly, feeling his blood and energy scattered and a dull pain in his internal organs. He knew he had internal injuries that would take ten days to half a month to heal.

"That was the Zheng family's old ancestor, wasn't it? What kind of person could provoke her to such anger..."

Before the companion could finish his words, he froze again, seeing several powerful auras approaching the city gate. Among them was a familiar figure.

"The... the city lord?"

Old Chen was equally stunned and stammered.

"You are injured. Who did this?"

The city lord, though not recognizing Old Chen and his companion, knew they were city gate guards by their attire.

"Reporting to the city lord, it was an old lady with a dragon-headed cane."

Seeing the city lord showing concern, Old Chen was both excited and respectful. Despite his resentment towards the old lady, he dared not speak ill of her.

"It is indeed her," said a refined-looking elder. "Young man, do you know why that old lady left the city?"

"I don't know, but she seemed to be chasing someone. Earlier, a figure rushed out of the city, and she followed, calling the person a 'little beast' with great hatred." ?Á?????

In a few words, Old Chen described the situation.

"A 'little beast'?"

The refined elder and his companions looked at each other in surprise.

"Who could it be to provoke her to such anger, using Precelestial pressure in the city and chasing someone outside?"

Things had happened so quickly that the Precelestial experts didn't know what had transpired at the Zheng residence. And being too far behind, they hadn't sensed Lu Qing's presence.

For the moment, they were puzzled.

"Hmph! Whatever the reason, we'll find out by catching up," the city lord snorted coldly.

"The Zheng family elder repeatedly using Precelestial pressure in the city, and now injuring a gate guard. I overlooked it last time out of pity for her loss, but does she think there's no order in Cangzhou City?"

"Alright, let's go and see what's happening."

The refined elder and his companions knew the city lord was angry. In Cangzhou City, the Precelestial families and the city lord's mansion maintained a delicate balance, sometimes at odds. Now the elder's repeated transgressions naturally displeased him.

They used their skills to head outside the city, leaving the gate guards bewildered, not knowing what had happened to alarm even the city lord.

"Little beast, let's see where you can run!"

As the refined elder and his companions left the city gate, about ten miles from Cangzhou City, the Zheng family elder finally saw Lu Qing's figure again.

She was both delighted and secretly shocked by his resilience. Chasing from the city, he had used his method of hiding his aura several times. If not for the open terrain outside and the clear footprints, she might have lost him.

Now, she felt a bit relieved, sensing his aura weakening again, his speed slowing, and his figure stumbling, clearly at his limit. Within a few breaths, she would catch him.

Sensing his inevitable capture, Lu Qing suddenly stopped, leaning against a large stone, gasping, drenched in sweat, glaring at her fiercely.

"Run, why aren't you running? Little beast, let's see where you can go!"

Seeing Lu Qing finally stop, the elderly woman of the Zheng family wasn't in a hurry. She also halted her movement, walking forward slowly, enjoying the look of fierce determination in his eyes.

"Little beast, don't worry. When I cut off your limbs and slowly torture you, I hope you keep that fierce look. Otherwise, it would be too boring!"

Smiling cruelly, she spoke with immense hatred. She wouldn't let him die easily, planning to capture and torment him to vent her deep-seated grudge.

Lu Qing remained silent, still glaring at her viciously, which made her feel even more satisfied.

With a cruel smile, she lightly tapped her dragon-headed cane, sending out several transparent energy strands aimed at his limbs.

But just as the energy strands were about to cripple his limbs, Lu Qing suddenly smiled brightly. The stone behind him exploded, and he vanished, reappearing within two meters of her.

Swish! A blinding blade light flashed. A wrinkled, tree-bark-like arm fell to the ground, accompanied by his words.

"Old woman, whose limbs were you planning to cut off?"
