Chapter 54: One Move to Wash Away Humiliation, Nian Shen's Slyness (Part 2)
Such an expression almost made Gong Yang's anger burn, but he endured it again. After all, this is the front of the palace gate, and if it gets too much, it will be passed on to the law enforcement officer, especially since the current law enforcement officer is Zhao Qianye from the Purple Bamboo Temple.
"Lu Shidi, Gong Yang Shixiong is talking to you, and this is your attitude towards Shixiong?" A disciple next to him hastily stepped forward and spoke up. Lu Qing glanced at him lightly, but found that the other's eyes had flickered slightly, as if trying to remind him discreetly.
Lu Qing obviously knew what he was thinking, and coldly sneered in his heart. This person was indeed very practical, not strong enough to provoke him, so he was smooth on both sides. However, with Lu Qing's current state of mind, he didn't want to make any more calculations with him either.
Lu Qing shook his head and said, "Whether I understand or not is my own business. You few seniors have something to do, so go ahead first. I still have things to attend to, so I won't stay long. Please, everyone." After finishing speaking, Lu Qing wanted to walk past the three people.
Perhaps it was because Lu Qing had stood there for too long, the biting cold wind blowing across his body no longer felt anything, but the cyan cloth wrapped around Nianyun Sword on his back was blown up by the wind, revealing that fiery purple-red sword hilt.
"Wait a minute——" Gong Yangyu suddenly stretched out his hand to stop Lu Qing, his eyes fixed tightly on the corner of Nianyun Sword exposed behind Lu Qing's back. "I've heard that Lu Shidi's family has passed down the art of sword casting, which is unparalleled in our Zixia Sect region. For over a thousand years, they have cast dozens of top-grade divine swords. I don't know what kind of sword this is behind Lu Shidi, but just by seeing its corner, I can tell it's extraordinary."
Lu Qing's heart skipped a beat as he heard the words, knowing that the other party had ulterior motives. He replied in a calm tone, "It's just one of my late father's swords, not worth mentioning."
"Really?" The ram's eyes sparkled, "I've heard that the current head of the Lu family is a master swordsmith, one of the top figures in our Purple Mist Sect for thousands of years. I suppose the swords he leaves behind must be extraordinary. Can my junior brother lend me one to take a look at its style?"
The two people beside him also seemed to have thought of something, and a hint of greed flashed in their eyes. At this time, the two had already put aside their previous concerns, and if it was what they thought, even taking some risks would be worth it.
Lu Qing sneered inwardly, indeed wealth and fame can move people's hearts, let alone a divine sword that is hard to come by with jade coins. He knew he couldn't be kind anymore, Lu Qing didn't retreat either, he knew that retreating would only make the three people in front of him take advantage of him, he wanted to completely strangle this budding situation for the three of them.
Without changing his expression, he took two steps back, and Lu Qing's tone turned cold: "This is a family heirloom left by my father, it cannot be casually viewed, please be more respectful, senior brother."
"Can't just watch randomly?" Gong Yangyu's voice suddenly rose, his eyes looking down on him, "I think it's probably something illegal from somewhere, you think this kind of trick can be used to deceive people at will, although I'm not a law enforcement officer, but such things also need to be managed."
"Not bad, if it weren't for Brother Gongyang's sharp eyes today, you would have easily passed by. Hand it over quickly and we can spare ourselves from using force. Who knows, we might even be able to let you off lightly and cover this up for you. After all, we are fellow disciples of the same sect, and we don't want to see you lose face." At this point, the young man who had previously given Lü Qing a sly look changed his expression again, his face stern and severe, making it impossible for Lü Qing to detect any hint of his previous demeanor.
His gaze was like lightning, a sharp gleam flashed through Lu Qing's eyes, sweeping the three of them with one glance. The three Gong Yang suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of being seen through, and their bodies, which were originally protected by Jian Yuan, suddenly felt a chill that pierced to the bone.
Suddenly, Lu Qing looked up at the sky and laughed loudly for a few moments. Then, with a sarcastic expression on his face, he spoke to the three of them: "What a great scoundrel! They say that petty people have tongues as sharp as knives, but today I've finally seen it for myself. The sword is in my hand, if you have the ability, come and take it yourself. But instead, you're putting on this despicable and contemptible appearance, which is really laughable."
At present, Lu Qing's boundary has been elevated, and his cultivation is also rising with the tide. Especially in the previous snowy trek, he gained a lot of insight into the ancient art of self-cultivation, achieving a state of harmony between his heart and the universe, gathering the primordial energy of heaven and earth. This indeed raised his original Sword Emperor's sword yuan to the level of a Sword Guest Small Heavenly Rank. Now, he is truly a pre-heavenly sword guest.
The change in strength also changed his mentality, although the mood was still calm and quiet, but for some wanton provocations and cunning conspiracies, he did not mind taking action to punish.
Have I become like them too? Lu Qing couldn't help but ask herself as she felt her own change.
No, having power is not wrong, what's wrong is the person using it. A gentleman carries things with virtue, everything should be grasped in moderation, but also strive to improve without stopping, fight against external insults, just can't act arbitrarily, otherwise it's bullying people with power.
With a firm determination in his heart, Lu Qing's eyes became resolute. Since he couldn't escape, he would return the humiliation from before all at once!
"You! Good, good!" Two consecutive "good" words, Gong Yangyu's face had already turned blue with anger. When did this little person who was once under his feet dare to speak to him like that? He didn't think that the current Lu Qing had undergone such a transformation.
"Don't think that just because you've reached the Small Heaven Realm's peak, you can be arrogant in front of me with your oversized sword and clumsy yet powerful movements. Today, I'll let you know what kind of difference there is between the Small Heaven Realm and the Great Heaven Realm." As soon as he finished speaking, Gong Yangyu drew out his long sword from behind him and took three steps back, a faint purple glow rising up around his body. A concentrated and powerful aura burst forth in an instant, blowing away the snowflakes in front of him towards Lu Qing.
His mind was as steady as a mountain, and with Lu Qing's current state, he didn't care about such momentum at all. Since the opening of the Baihui acupoint, after his body connected with the heaven and earth's original energy, Lu Qing had been immersed in the realization of the grand trend of heaven and earth, how could he be shaken by such means?
He immersed his spirit in the universe, and at this moment, Lu Qing's breath seemed to disappear, merging with the universe, filling his body with a quiet and peaceful atmosphere.
The two inner sect disciples beside Gong Yangyu retreated to the side of the two outer sect disciples who had spoken earlier, their eyes clearly warning them. The two outer sect disciples were intimidated and remained silent, which pleased the other two greatly.
Looking at Gong Yangyu again, he didn't expect Lu Qing to change so much. The momentum was like a strike in the air, without any effect, making him feel like there was a huge stone stuck in his chest, extremely uncomfortable.
"This can't be the Heavenly Sword Guest's divine fusion with heaven and earth, how detestable! How is this possible!" A hint of shock and disbelief flashed across his eyes, a fierce glint flickered in Gong Yangyu's eyes, the sword tip let out a sharp whistling sound as an eight-inch long solar sword energy burst forth, his right arm swung left and right, and astonishingly, several clear afterimages appeared, each one revealing a sharp sword energy capable of cutting through gold and splitting stones.
Rising Sun Thirteen Swords Style: Eleventh Form - Breaking Dawn Through the Remaining Clouds!
He suddenly made a move, and the lamb's feather was merciless. He directly used one of the three ultimate moves of the thirteen swords of Akatsuki, and the distance between the two people was almost crossed in one step. Several sharp sword auras tore through the air and enveloped Lu Qing's whole body, and the intense breaking sound shook the surrounding falling snowflakes into powder and scattered them.
This is wanting to abandon one's own cultivation, and even take one's own life!
A cold glint flashed in Lu Qing's eyes.
Sigh——
Almost simultaneously, the Heart Refining Sword behind him was instantly drawn out by Lu Qing, its blade slashing down at the empty air, the sword's body majestic and powerful. Yet, as it fell, it gave people a faintly light and airy feeling, this was the sensation of the sword, not the ease with which Lu Qing had swung his sword like a stick during the grand tournament before the New Year Festival, but rather it was because after walking alone in the snow, Lu Qing's understanding of his sword technique had deepened, and he had already vaguely touched upon the threshold of lightness and heaviness. As a result, in this first sword strike that he swung out, he unconsciously displayed it.
Under the shocked gaze of four people behind Gong Yangyu, a majestic sword aura wrapped in purple electricity shot out from Lu Qing's great sword and collided with Gong Yangyu's sword shadow at an almost imperceptible speed.
Boom!
Without any resistance, the purple electric sword aura was displayed in front of everyone for the first time, showing its extraordinary strength. The violent purple electricity tore apart Gong Yangyu's sword shadow, and the sword aura collided with Gong Yangyu's sword body, producing a deafening roar.
With a speed faster than before, the sheep's wool flew out like a meteor and crashed onto the steps in front of Chaoyang Palace, revealing a deep human shadow on the originally thickly snow-covered steps.
With a puff, Gong Yangyu spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, dyeing a patch of accumulated snow red, and the warm blood water melted into the snowy ground.
His eyes revealed a deep unbelief, Gong Yangyu now only felt his whole body's muscles and bones wanting to split, his skin numb all over, unable to muster any energy at all, the sword yuan force in his dantian qihai was also dispersed.
Looking at the Wu Pin's Huo Yun sword in his hand, a clear and small crack was lying across the middle of the sword body. Gong Yangyu's eyes gradually revealed a look of shock, and he stared at Lu Qing with a dead gaze. However, seeing Lu Qing's still calm expression, a hint of despair slowly appeared on his face. He lowered his head, dazedly staring at his own hands, "I lost..."
Lu Qing, however, did not linger and upon hearing the three words "Gong Yang Yu", slowly walked past the four people in front of the palace and into the palace, while those four people had already become dazed and disoriented.
As soon as he stepped into the Chaoyang Palace, Lu Qing's mind was calm and peaceful, and his thoughts and consciousness became much clearer. His movements were smooth and unobstructed, and he felt as if he had become lighter.
At this moment, Lu Qing knew that he had finally avenged the shame of before, and there was no longer any repression in his heart. (Ten Steps to New Heights, urgently seeking recommendation votes and collection, hoping everyone will generously assist, let Ten Steps truly take ten steps to kill one person, a thousand miles without leaving a trail, killing all the way to the top!)
