I Can See Through Everything

Chapter 206

Chapter 206

When the gazes of the Precelestial Realm experts fell upon Lu Qing, their expressions were once again shocked.

Because from Lu Qing, they could not sense the unique Precelestial aura.

What did this signify?

It meant that Lu Qing was not yet a Precelestial Realm martial artist!

Not being a Precelestial Realm martial artist, yet able to so easily kill the old matriarch of the Zheng family.

For a moment, the few Precelestial Realm experts were all greatly shaken, becoming extremely wary of Lu Qing.

Facing the stares of four Precelestial Realm experts, Lu Qing's expression remained calm.

However, he had already activated his special abilities without revealing any signs, secretly probing the identities and backgrounds of the people opposite him.

Seeing Lu Qing remain silent, merely staring at them without any trace of fear, the Precelestial Realm experts' wariness deepened.

"This young friend, how should we address you, and what grievance do you have with this old matriarch of the Zheng family, to torment her to death like this?"

"Oh, must there be a grievance to kill her? Can't it simply be that I saw her injustice, disliked her, and casually killed her?"

At this moment, Lu Qing had already finished probing the information of the Precelestial Realm experts.

Among them, he lingered a bit longer on the elegant elder.

Hearing the white-haired elder's words, he responded faintly.

"You!" The elegant elder's eyes widened instantly, with a hint of bursting aura, "Disliking her, you could just teach her a lesson, why such a ruthless hand?"

"Such a venomous woman, what use is there to keep her alive? Old man, you can't be ignorant of how malicious this old matriarch was, can you?"

Although the information revealed that the elegant elder was not a villain, Lu Qing still had no good feelings towards him.

An old fool who blindly attacked him without knowing the facts; his tolerance up to now was already quite generous.

"This old matriarch intended to perform a live human sacrifice to vent her anger for her deceased trash grandson. Such a heinous act is unforgivable by heaven and earth. What was wrong with me killing her?"

The elegant elder was stunned but still argued: "This is merely a rumor. The Zheng family hasn't committed such an act yet. To judge others by uncommitted deeds, aren't you being too arbitrary?"

"Old man, you're really brainless for defending this old hag!"

Seeing the elegant elder still excusing the old matriarch, Lu Qing no longer held back and directly scolded.

"With this old matriarch's venomous heart, can you guarantee she wouldn't perform a live human sacrifice?"

Being directly called an old man, the elegant elder was immediately filled with anger.

But Lu Qing's subsequent words made him hesitant.

He wanted to say no, but even he knew how feeble that guarantee would be.

Given the old matriarch's character, she might indeed commit such an atrocious act in the end.

Seeing the elegant elder unable to speak, Lu Qing continued: "Moreover, do you think this old hag has never done a live human sacrifice before?"

These words caused the Precelestial Realm martial artists to tremble.

Especially the elegant elder, who blurted out: "What did you say?"

The city lord also asked gravely: "Young friend, is it true that this old matriarch had performed live human sacrifices before?"

"If you want to know the answer, you can open the tomb of her eldest son. There, you'll find everything you want to know," Lu Qing sneered.

The eldest son's tomb of the Zheng family.

The Precelestial Realm experts' minds stirred, recalling that major event and the old matriarch's nearly crazed state back then.

Their hearts couldn't help but believe Lu Qing's words by seventy to eighty percent.

Given the old matriarch's grief back then, she might indeed have done such an outrageous thing.

"Very well! Young friend, I must say, if we find no traces of live human sacrifice in the eldest son's tomb, don't blame me for seeking justice," the elegant elder said. ?â?????

"Old man, what right do you have to seek justice from me? Even if someone wants revenge, it should be the Zheng family. Who are you?"

However, Lu Qing was unapologetic, directly mocking.

"Besides, we still have an unresolved matter between us."

"What's between us?" The elegant elder was confused.

"Old man, have you forgotten? You attacked me sneakily just now. Do you think I'm so generous to let it go?" Lu Qing said coldly.

"What do you intend to do?"

The elegant elder, called old man repeatedly, was enraged and asked coldly.

"Simple, you attacked me with three sword qi, I don't ask much, just take one strike from me. If you survive, we'll call it even."

"Young man, you are very confident."

Hearing Lu Qing's arrogant tone, the elegant elder laughed in anger.

"Though I don't know how you defeated the old matriarch, do you really think Precelestial Realm experts are made of clay?"

"Stop talking nonsense, do you dare or not?"

"Fine, I'll take your strike!"

Hearing the elegant elder agree, the white-haired elder was startled: "Brother Lin!"

"No worries." The elegant elder waved his hand, "I also want to see what methods this person has that even Yunmei couldn't withstand."

"Brother Lin, be careful then."

Seeing his old friend even call out Yunmei, the white-haired elder knew he couldn't stop him.

He could only step aside with some concern.

As for the city lord, he had no objections.

Someone voluntarily testing the mysterious young man's strength was what they hoped for; why would they stop it?

However, they also had a playful look at the elegant elder.

They didn't expect this Lin family elder to have such feelings for the old matriarch. Truly, the world was full of wonders.

"Please, go ahead."

The elegant elder held his long sword, standing calmly and indicating for Lu Qing to strike.

"Alright!"

Seeing this, Lu Qing didn't hesitate.

Golden light flickered, and a mighty aura rose from him, like a caged beast leaping towards the elegant elder.

Zing!

The long blade was unsheathed, a bright blade light carrying boundless killing intent slashed towards the elegant elder.

The blade's momentum enveloped all directions, leaving no escape.

This blade!

Feeling the power of Lu Qing's strike, the elegant elder was shocked, the terrifying killing intent making his eyelids twitch.

He never imagined that Lu Qing, once moved, would unleash such a deadly strike.

He could sense that this strike was supremely powerful yet deceptively simple, with infinite variations.

For a moment, he couldn't find any flaw to counterattack.

This mysterious young man's blade skill surpassed his sword skill!

Though unbelievable, the elegant elder made his judgment instantly.

He couldn't counter this strike, nor could he evade it.

The only option was to face it head-on!

But facing it head-on, he might die!

In the face of imminent death, the elegant elder no longer remained calm.

His eyes widened, Precelestial true qi surged within him, instantly using his explosive secret technique.

He infused his entire Precelestial true qi into his long sword, thrusting it towards Lu Qing's blade.

Boom!

Blade and sword clashed, terrifying blade qi and sword qi shot in all directions, tearing the atmosphere, slicing through everything around.

Fortunately, all onlookers were strong Precelestial Realm martial artists. Otherwise, if this happened in a market, countless people would have died.

In the intense collision, the elegant elder's face changed drastically, feeling the unmatched strength from Lu Qing's blade.

Even with all his power infused in his sword, he couldn't fully block it.

His arm trembled violently, and he staggered back, taking over ten steps before stopping by bracing against a large tree.

Raising his head, blood seeped from the corner of his mouth, he looked at Lu Qing in shock.

Obviously, in this exchange, he had sustained internal injuries.

What?!!

Seeing the elegant elder forced back by Lu Qing's strike, with blood at the corner of his mouth.

The other three Precelestial Realm experts were all shocked, almost unable to believe their eyes.

They knew the elegant elder's strength was among the top two among them.

His cultivation had reached the peak of the initial Precelestial stage, just a step away from a minor Precelestial achievement.

Such a powerful person was forced to use an explosive secret technique and was still repelled by one strike from the mysterious young man.

How could they not be shocked?

Most importantly, they still hadn't sensed any Precelestial aura from Lu Qing.

They clearly saw that Lu Qing's outburst was merely the power of a Postnatal martial artist's blood and qi.

To repel a peak initial Precelestial Realm expert with the power of a Postnatal martial artist's physical strength.

Who was this mysterious young man?

The white-haired elder and others looked at Lu Qing in shock.

"Not bad, surviving one strike from me shows you have some skill, unlike that old hag who couldn't even take one strike."

In the clash, Lu Qing had also retreated,

but compared to the elegant elder's sorry state, he was much more composed.

He merely took a few steps back to steady himself.

Looking at the bleeding elegant elder, he nodded in approval.

"Pfft!"

Hearing Lu Qing's words, the elegant elder couldn't hold back, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Brother Lin! Are you alright?"

The white-haired elder was startled, hurriedly approaching and giving him

a pill.

"I'm fine, just some internal injuries, my true qi is a bit disordered, I'll be fine after some rest."

After taking the pill, the elegant elder spoke softly.

"That's good."

Hearing his friend's words, the white-haired elder was relieved.

However, his wariness of Lu Qing rose again.

Brother Lin was stronger than him, yet was disrupted by one strike from Lu Qing.

If it were him, wouldn't he be seriously injured?

"Since you took my strike, our matter is settled. If you still feel aggrieved and want revenge for that old hag, I'll always be here. But next time, you might not be so lucky."

Seeing the elegant elder begin to heal, Lu Qing spoke indifferently and was about to leave.

"Wait, your skills are impressive, your blade technique profound, we are truly impressed. May I know your esteemed name?"

Seeing Lu Qing leave, the city lord hurriedly asked.

"You are not qualified to know my name."

However, Lu Qing didn't stop, disappearing into the woods with a few leaps.

His speed and agility were not inferior to the Precelestial Realm experts.

And during this process, they still couldn't sense any Precelestial aura from him.

Watching Lu Qing disappear, the Precelestial Realm martial artists were silent for a long time.

Until Lu Qing's presence completely faded, the jade-faced middle-aged man suddenly spoke:

"What do you think, is he truly a Postnatal Realm or pretending?"

"Does it matter?" the city lord said, "He could injure Elder Lin with one strike; his strength is on par with ours. Unless we join forces, we can't stop him. The question is, do you dare to?"

The jade-faced man was silent.

Indeed, if they had tried to stop Lu Qing earlier, they might have succeeded if they joined forces.

But they didn't dare.

There was no way; Lu Qing was too mysterious.

His strength was unpredictably strange.

Defeating two Precelestial Realm experts with Postnatal martial strength was beyond comprehension.

Such a feat was unheard of, even in legends.

Such a formidable person couldn't possibly lack a strong background, they would never believe it.

Realizing this, the city lord and the others had no intention of provoking Lu Qing.

If they angered the force behind him, who knew what kind of terrifying power that would be.

So, when Lu Qing wanted to leave, they didn't dare to stop him.

"Indeed, the rumors are true, the world is changing, and geniuses and monsters are emerging. We encountered such a peerless genius today."

After a long silence, the jade-faced middle-aged man sighed.

The remaining three were also moved by his words.

What the jade-faced man referred to was a rumor spreading over the past two years.

It said the world was about to undergo great changes, and with it, the world would face upheaval, geniuses and monsters would emerge, bringing chaos.

They had been skeptical about this rumor.

But today's encounter with this mysterious young man made them think it might be true.

"In that case, the old hag was indeed unlucky to provoke such a terrifying genius."

The jade-faced man said with schadenfreude.

Among them, he was the one who hated the old matriarch the most.

Before reaching the Precelestial Realm, he had been oppressed by the Zheng family.

Now that she was dead, his happiness was evident.

The others knew of his enmity with the Zheng family, except for the elegant elder's sorrow, the rest had no reaction.

"What should we do next?" the white-haired elder asked.

"Naturally, we should go to the Zheng family, open the eldest son's tomb, and see if what that person said is true," the city lord said.

"But..."

The elegant elder was about to say something but was interrupted by the city lord: "Elder Lin, don't forget, live human sacrifice is forbidden by the Sacred Mountain. If the old matriarch did this, as the city lord, I must investigate and punish severely!"

The elegant elder's mouth opened but finally closed.

He knew it was right for the city lord to investigate, and he had no reason to stop it.

But he also knew if anything was found, the Zheng family would face severe punishment.

Recalling his promise to that person, the elegant elder sighed inwardly, not knowing what to do.
