Chapter 104: The Return of Patriarch Situ

  The air was violently stirred up as the sword energy passed by, and no one suspected that just approaching would be torn to pieces by the turbulent atmosphere.

  "Win——" Duan Qingyun looked at Situ Chong, who was flying backwards, with some disbelief. Everyone knew that Situ Chong's right arm was ruined and he had already been defeated miserably. What made everyone sigh even more was that from now on, Situ Chong could only use his left arm to wield a sword. For a swordsman who had been accustomed to using his right arm for decades, it might take a lifetime to make any progress again.

  Just as Gu Jianfeng was about to intervene and block Lu Qing's sword energy, his expression suddenly changed because a figure had appeared out of thin air in front of Situ Chong. It was an old man with white hair and beard, wearing a long white robe, floating in mid-air in front of the falling Situ Chong.

  Sword Master!

  Lu Qing was shocked, and under everyone's astonished gaze, the old man calmly stretched out his right hand, with a faint golden sword aura rising from it, as if to grab down the thunder that had just appeared in the sky.

  Plop!

  It was as if a bubble had burst, and Lu Qing's full-force Purple Thunder Sword was grasped and torn apart by the old man. Only a faint trace of wind and thunder energy remained in the air, without even any residual sword energy, completely extinguished within the old man's palm.

  "Ancestors, I'm useless, bringing shame to the Situ family." On the ground, Situ Chongyong covered his right shoulder's meridian with his remaining left hand, his voice hoarse as he spoke. Fresh blood continuously gushed out from his mouth, clearly, Lu Qing's previous move not only destroyed his right arm but also damaged his internal organs, causing them to rupture. His injuries were indeed severe.

  The old man didn't turn his head, but instead crushed the jade bottle in his left hand and shot a pale red medicinal pill into his mouth. He then looked deeply at Lu Qing standing on the rubble of the collapsed Life and Death Platform and said, "You're not bad, kid." Immediately after, he turned around, grabbed Situ Chong, and disappeared into a golden light.

  At the same time, the elder's voice came from afar: "My family, the Situs, will keep our promises."

  The old man had just been in the scene, and all the forces present were under his pressure, not daring to speak. As soon as he left, the pot on the life-and-death stage suddenly boiled over.

  "That was just a sword master, an absolutely strongest sword grandmaster!"

  "Who would have thought that the legend of the Situ family, which has been passed down among so many forces, is actually true." Some forces in the audience couldn't help but exclaim.

  Although Situ Zhong had just suffered a defeat, they all knew that after this battle, the prestige of the Situ family would not only not be damaged, but would instead spread far and wide to the other four cities. After all, the weight of a Sword Master like Situ Zhong was truly not light. It could be said that at this moment, the Situ family's position in Luoshen City had been thoroughly consolidated, and even if the new city lord and the master of the Sword God Temple were to arrive, they would not be able to shake it in the slightest, and would even have to expend great effort to win them over.

  Looking in the direction where the old man left, Gujian Feng's eyes showed a thoughtful expression. Behind him, Duan Qingyun and others were shocked, although they had expected it earlier, but at this moment, they were still stunned by the sword master's aura.

  On the other side, Luoxue sighed and said, "I didn't expect that apart from my inner sect, these large families could also produce a Sword Master like Zhen Dajun. It seems that our sect needs to pay more attention to these large families."

  Next to Yi Ruoyu also nodded in deep agreement, but immediately, everyone's attention was focused on Lu Qing who walked down from the stage. Today, this battle brought too many surprises to them, whether it was the cultivation of reaching the sword guest's great heaven or his bronze skin and iron bones, like the ancient giant's powerful power, which shocked everyone in their hearts.

  At this moment, Lu Qing's face was a bit pale, but there was still a faint smile on his face. The first person to approach him was not someone else, but Ming Xue'er, who had been protected all along. She looked puzzled at the moment, circled around Lu Qing a few times, and then pinched him with her hand before saying: "It's not cast iron, it's soft and fluffy, how could it make that sound just now?"

  Lu Qing couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time, but towards Ming Xue'er, this naive and romantic girl, he didn't have any dislike, at most she was just a bit mischievous on a daily basis, without any ulterior motives. On the contrary, that one pure heart made Lu Qing have a very good impression of her, and he couldn't help but be drawn to her behavior.

  It wasn't until Qingyun and others walked over that Mingxue finally gave up tormenting Luqing.

  "How serious is the injury?" Duan Qingyun looked at Lu Qing's left chest, where his martial arts uniform was torn open, with bloodstains inside.

  "It's nothing, just a slight shock to the internal organs, it doesn't matter." Lu Qing shook his head and said.

  "That's good," Duan Qingyun let out a sigh of relief, but immediately looked at Lu Qing with a somewhat complicated expression, "You little scoundrel has managed to push me further and further away."

  Lu Qing was taken aback by the words, but immediately afterwards, Duan Qingyun's face sank and he said viciously: "From now on, don't think about eating anything I make again." As soon as these words were spoken, Duan Qingyun couldn't bear it anymore and burst out laughing loudly, while Lu Qing also reacted instantly, a smile spreading across his face.

  Turning his gaze to Zhao Qianye, the two locked eyes for a long time. Zhao Qianye said, "Let's have a good fight in the Grand Tournament."

  At this moment, Lu Qing saw intense fighting spirit in Zhao Qianye's eyes, and even found that Nie Qingtian, who was standing beside him, had a gleam of divine light in his eyes as he looked at himself.

  Finally, Lu Qing looked at the four people standing aside with excited expressions, including two old swordsmiths and a group of sword shop attendants. At this moment, they all looked at him with reverence on their faces. They knew that Lu Qing's battle today would soon spread throughout the five major cities of the Purple Mist Sect. With Lu Qing's strength in defeating the Sword Master Xiao Tianwei, although it was still not comparable to his father Lu Yun's time, it was not far off either.

  Especially this time, Lu Qing established himself as the great elder of the Situ family, one of the five major families, and it is unlikely that any other power will dare to provoke him easily again. This has almost guaranteed the position of the Lu family in the entire Zixia Sect region, and has initially stabilized.

  "Kid, you're really surprising me." At this time, Gu Jianfeng walked over and looked up and down at Lu Qing, saying: "If it weren't for the fact that you're just a Sword Guest now, even if you were a Sword Master, I wouldn't let you off without having a good fight with you."

  He paused, and Gu Jianfeng continued: "I've already begun to look forward to your growth. This time we part ways, I'll be traveling with Wu Xiong to comprehend the sword. In four years, at the Five Peaks Sword Conference, we will definitely attend. I hope that by then, I can see your stunning battle once again. You are a born swordsman."

  As soon as the words were spoken, Gu Jianfeng transformed into a fiery red light and shot up to the sky. At the same time, from the direction of the Sword God Temple, an astonishing aura rose, and under everyone's gaze, two fiery red sword lights converged in the sky and shot out towards the distant horizon.

  "They're gone," Ming Xue'er said, gazing at the distant, gradually disappearing bright red dot, a look of envy evident on her face.

  Finally, under the attention of various forces, Lu Qing and others returned to the Lu family sword shop. The major forces also dispersed one after another, they all knew that a new round of contention in Luojing City was about to begin.

  After returning to the Lu family's sword shop, Lu Qing immediately entered the back hall, while Duan Qingyun and others were arranged by Lu Zhan and others to live in a small courtyard at the back.

  It was night, in the east wing of the house, Lu Qing sat on the bed, his body surrounded by a purple-blue glow that flowed and changed, his entire being's aura fluctuating non-stop, the surrounding heaven and earth's energy also surging turbulently. After a long time, Lu Qing opened his eyes, pulled open the left side of his chest, and at his chest mouth, the original three-inch-long blood mark had completely disappeared without a trace, not showing any signs of previous injury.

  "How is it, Master's Purple Emperor Sword Body recovery ability?" A somewhat complacent voice echoed in his mind.

  He nodded, this recovery ability was indeed strong. Originally, such flesh wounds were not a big deal, but with the addition of medicinal treatment, it would take at least half a month to have such an effect. However, now it only took a few hours to recover completely, which made Lu Qing even more deeply aware of the power of the Purple Emperor Sword Body Technique.

  But soon, Lu Qing's face showed a hint of helplessness again, because the complete explosion of his physical strength earlier had caused his already unstable body due to the increase in cultivation to fluctuate even more. As a result, the time required to consolidate his cultivation would have to be extended by another month.

  The next morning, Lu Qing's injuries had basically healed, and the internal shock was completely gone. This again surprised everyone, and they couldn't help but envy his experience in the Blood Sacrifice Evil Sword Array that day. If they could gain what Lu Qing had now, it would be worth risking their lives to try.

  Adding the previous stay, everyone has been under the Purple Cloud Peak for nearly two months. Later, in the reluctant farewell of Lu Zhan and others, a group of people left the City of Falling Sun, divided into three directions, and returned to their respective main peaks and schools.

  PS: The Yushu earthquake has happened again, and it seems that China has been plagued by disasters in recent years. Despite the constant natural disasters, we must bravely face them. I believe that with everyone's efforts, Yushu will get through this difficult time. Finally, let us all pray for Yushu together, may the gods of heaven bless them. (Chinese people have their own beliefs), don't say "may God bless", that is not our country's god, can't cross borders to come.
