Chapter 181 Severe Injury and Intelligence
What?!
The lurker in the tree was trembling with fear.
He never expected that someone would suddenly appear under the big tree where he was hiding and reveal his whereabouts.
But he didn't notice it at all in advance.
The lurker dared not move at all.
He didn't know whether Lu Qing had really discovered his whereabouts or was tricking him.
He was extremely confident in his secret skills of concealment, so he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart.
But the next moment, he knew that he was wrong.
When Lu Qing saw that the person on the tree still showed no intention of showing up after he called out, he knew that the person must have ill intentions.
He raised his head and looked upwards, only to see the tree's lush branches and leaves, like a pavilion, and there was no trace of the lurker at all.
However, he possesses the power of the soul and has condensed a trace of the soul rune framework, so his sensing ability far exceeds that of ordinary martial arts masters.
Even without Xiao Li's guidance, he could clearly sense where that breath was hiding.
Without the slightest hesitation, he produced a fist-sized stone that he had picked up on the way here, and smashed it upwards with the power of a hidden weapon.
With Lu Qing's current strength, when his qi and blood burst out, even ordinary stones can contain powerful power.
boom!
The rocks were accelerated to the extreme, containing a powerful impact force, instantly piercing through and exploding the treetops.
Amid the flying leaves and broken branches, a figure fell from the tree, rolled over, and stood on the ground with his arms hanging down, trembling slightly, looking at Lu Qing in shock.
He was shocked that Lu Qing could actually see through his actions, and was also surprised at Lu Qing's decisiveness in taking action.
Isn't it rumored that this guy is chivalrous and a young hero of his generation?
Why did they kill him without even finding out his identity?
Recalling what happened just now, the lurker still feels a lingering fear.
Lu Qing's attack just now was too sudden, and he found his location very accurately.
This left him no time to dodge and he could only take it head-on.
Now his arms have been injured and are sore and numb. It will take at least half a minute to recover.
"Luckily I put on my soft armor in advance, otherwise, I'm afraid my hands would be crippled."
The lurker felt relieved and never dared to look down on Lu Qing again.
Just a thrown ordinary stone has an attack power no less than that of a martial arts master.
The young man in front of him was definitely not an ordinary internal organs realm warrior!
Not to mention, he still couldn't figure out how Lu Qing discovered his whereabouts.
"Are you finally willing to come down? I thought you would rather die than hide in the tree." Lu Qing said lightly.
The lurker in front of him was wearing old cloth and had an ordinary appearance, just like an ordinary country youth.
If he was walking in the village, I'm afraid no one would think there was anything wrong with him.
However, Lu Qing didn't care about his appearance.
The top killers of the Seven Killings Tower all master the art of changing muscles and bones, and can easily change their faces.
If this person was sent by the Seven Killings Tower, his current face may not be his true appearance.
Therefore, he activated his supernatural powers as soon as possible.
Soon, a strong red light of supernatural power appeared on the body of the young man in front of him.
[Lin An: One of the Twelve Celestial Assassins in the Seven Killings Tower, codenamed 'Shadow'.]
[Cultivation: A small success in the acquired internal organs realm, possessing a variety of assassination secrets, especially good at lurking.]
[Because the Seven Killings Tower issued the Seven Killings Order, they want to obtain the sect’s reward and want to assassinate you in order to seize the position of the Twelve Celestial Beings.]
As expected, he was the killer from Qisha Tower. Lu Qing’s eyes turned cold.
Feeling the chill from Lu Qing, the killer "Shadow" from the Seven Killings Tower was startled.
But his face showed anger: "What do you mean, sir? I was just taking a nap on the tree. How did I offend you that you suddenly wanted to kill me? If I didn't have some martial arts skills, I would have been killed by you for no reason."
Facing Shadow's feigned angry questioning, Lu Qing's expression did not change at all.
He looked at the other person quietly: "The assassins of the Seven Killings Tower, is this all you can do? Since you dare to assassinate me, are you ready to die?"
Shadow's heart trembled.
It had only been a few days since the sect issued the Seven Kill Orders, but Lu Qing, who was in a remote area, had already known about it!
Where did he get the news from?
However, he still had a puzzled look on his face: "What is the Seven Killings Tower? Did you misunderstand? I just passed by here occasionally and I have no ill intentions."
However, seeing that he was still pretending to be stupid, Lu Qing no longer wanted to say anything to him.
He stepped on the ground, and the dirt flew up. He was already in front of "Shadow". He clenched his right fist, exploding the air. A tiger roar sounded, and an extremely powerful tiger-heart-ripping punch was launched, going straight to the opponent's chest.
Feeling the power of this punch, "Shadow" was shocked.
Although I don’t know why Lu Qing is so sure, he is the killer of Qisha Tower.
But he knew that now was not the time to dwell on this issue.
Lu Qing's punch was too powerful. If he showed weakness again, he would probably be beaten to death on the spot.
No longer caring about disguise, "Shadow"'s blood and energy suddenly exploded, and a dagger suddenly appeared in his hand, piercing Lu Qing's fist.
Lu Qing's punch was indeed terrifying, making it almost impossible for him to avoid it, but "Shadow" was not without a way to deal with it.
That is, the opponent either was too arrogant or forgot to bring weapons, and actually fought him with bare hands.
His dagger was coated with a deadly poison. As long as it could pierce the fist a little, Lu Qing would be the one to die.
Facing the counterattack of "Shadow", Lu Qing remained calm. When the dagger was about to pierce his fist, he suddenly lowered his shoulders and his fist avoided the sword.
Then he flicked his finger and the bullet hit the sword directly.
It seemed like a random flick, but when it landed on the "Shadow" sword, the force was so amazing that his already injured arm trembled wildly, and he could hardly hold the dagger due to the numbness and soreness.
Taking advantage of this flaw, Lu Qing changed his fist into a palm and slapped him on the chest.
Under the powerful palm force burst out, a violent sound of bone breaking was heard, and the body of "Shadow" was knocked backwards, until it hit a big tree more than ten meters behind it, shaking off countless fallen leaves, and then it stopped.
He lay prone on the ground, not knowing whether he was dead or alive.
Defeat the enemy in one move!
A Tiangang-level killer from the Seven Killings Tower, a powerful warrior who had reached the minor success stage of the Internal Viscera Realm, was defeated by Lu Qing in just one move.
There was no sign of satisfaction on Lu Qing's face.
Looking at the killer lying motionless on the ground, he flipped his hand and a stone appeared in his hand again.
A loud sound of breaking through the air was heard, and Lu Qing threw the stone without hesitation, aiming directly at the head of "Shadow".
Sure enough, when the stone was about to smash his head, "Shadow", who had originally wanted to take advantage of Lu Qing's relaxation to launch a sneak attack, suddenly moved his body, avoided the stone in an instant, and then rushed into the woods and began to escape.
However, before he could escape a few meters, the sound of breaking air was heard again.
boom!
This time, "Shadow" had no way to avoid the stone thrown by Lu Qing, and it hit him right on the back.
Under the powerful attack, even though it was wearing soft armor, "Shadow" could no longer withstand it and spurted out a mouthful of blood, which seemed to be mixed with some fragments of internal organs.
Click!
Such a severe blow was hard to endure even for a strong man in the Internal Viscera Realm. Shadow's body fell to the ground like a torn sack, and after rolling several times, it did not move anymore.
"Don't play dead. You are wearing armor. My attack will at most make you lose your ability to fight, but it won't cost you your life."
Looking at the motionless "Shadow", Lu Qing walked forward slowly, but stopped seven steps away and said lightly.
Shadow didn't move.
Lu Qing didn't get angry, he just flipped his hand and held a stone in his hand again.
"Guess, can your head avoid my stone this time?"
"Ahem! Your Excellency is really careful. Even at this time, you are still so cautious."
Facing Lu Qing's death threat, "Shadow" knew that it would be futile to continue pretending.
He smiled bitterly, stood up with difficulty, half sat and half leaned against a big tree, and looked at Lu Qing with a miserable expression.
"Although I don't like the Seven Killings Tower, I have to admit that you shady rats still have some tricks up your sleeve. If I'm careless, it's easy for me to fall into your trap and be ambushed by you."
Lu Qing looked at the seriously injured "Shadow" and still did not move closer.
"You are truly amazing. You are so powerful at such a young age. No wonder Tianji Tower ranked you 29th on the latest Hidden Dragon Ranking."
"Shadow" looked at Lu Qing as if he was looking at a monster.
When he saw the ranking of the Hidden Dragon List before, he thought, like everyone else, that Lu Qing made it to the list because of his unprecedented martial arts talent.
But now he knew that Lu Qing's talent in martial arts was indeed terrifying.
But what is even more terrifying is his fighting talent.
The force of the punch just now was so astonishing that even a martial arts master who is proficient in boxing and kicking could not do more than this.
A man who is at the initial stage of internal organs can display boxing skills comparable to that of a master.
Such an incredible thing actually exists.
"Shadow" felt that his beliefs in martial arts were about to be destroyed.
More importantly, not only does Lu Qing have an extremely terrifying talent in martial arts, but his mind is also very meticulous.
He disguised himself and lured him several times, but was unable to elicit even the slightest flaw from him. He was even more difficult to deal with than a century-old veteran.
Is this really just a teenager?
Such a thought flashed through Shadow's mind.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense. Do you know why I won't kill you now?"
Facing Shadow's flattery, Lu Qing's expression did not change at all.
"Then I must have something you want on me."
"Shadow" smiled sadly.
"That's right." Lu Qing nodded. It was easier to communicate with smart people. "There aren't many things I want to know. As long as you tell me the location of your Seven Killings Tower, I might be able to leave you with an intact body and let you die without pain."
"You want to know the location of our Seven Killings Building?"
"Shadow"'s eyes widened at first, then as if he thought of something, a look of disbelief appeared on his face.
"You don't intend to take our Seven Killings Tower's base and come for revenge, do you?"
Lu Qing did not answer, but the calmness on his face gave "Shadow" the answer.
He suddenly burst into laughter: "Hahahaha... It's true that a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger, and the ignorant are fearless. Young people are just full of energy, and they actually dare to have ideas about our Seven Killings Building!"
"So, are you going to give me the address of this base or not?"
"Yes, of course!"
Shadow showed a sarcastic smile on his face: "Of course you want to die, how can I stop you, kid? I just don't know if you have the courage to really go to our Seven Killings Building and give it a try?"
"You don't have to provoke me. It's my business whether to go or not. You won't see that moment anyway." Lu Qing said lightly.
He did not hide his determination to kill Shadow at all.
"Shadow" naturally heard Lu Qing's murderous intention towards him, but he no longer cared.
The stone that Lu Qing smashed on his back had already shattered his internal organs.
Today, he is already seriously injured and dying, and is only barely surviving by relying on the powerful vitality of a warrior in the inner viscera realm.
Unless you find those legendary healing elixirs.
Otherwise, even if Lu Qing let him go, he wouldn't survive for a few days.
"Well, that's courageous!"
Shadow praised.
"It has always been us in the Seven Killings Building who have assassinated others. This is the first time I've seen someone actively trying to provoke us. Lord Lu Qing, with this courage, you deserve the title of Hidden Dragon List!"
Lu Qing: ...
He could see that people in this world seemed to really take the Hidden Dragon List very seriously.
Being so highly regarded and recognized by warriors all over the world, it is no wonder that the list has the function of gathering luck.
Since he had agreed, "Shadow" was quite straightforward and directly mentioned a series of place names.
Lu Qing took note silently. Upon seeing this, Shadow finally believed that the young man in front of him was not bluffing, and he actually wanted to take revenge on their Qisha Tower.
He couldn't help but feel a little excited, and couldn't wait to see the collision between such a little monster and the sect.
As a killer who has killed countless people, "Shadow" has no sense of belonging to the Seven Killings Tower.
He was captured and taken to the Seven Killings Building when he was a child, where he received cruel killer training and suffered torture.
He only had hatred in his heart for such a cold-blooded organization, so how could he be grateful?
However, because I grew up in the Seven Kills Tower, I understand how terrifying it is.
So no matter how much he hated and resented him, he could not muster the slightest desire to resist.
Now that he saw that someone actually wanted to take revenge on that behemoth, although he knew the hope was slim, he still felt excited.
Thinking of this, "Shadow" said again: "Sir Lu Qing, the Seven Killing Tower strongholds I just mentioned are actually just some small strongholds. Even if they are destroyed, it is of no concern to the Seven Killing Tower, and we don't feel sorry at all.
But there is one place. If you can destroy it, then the Seven Killings Tower will suffer heavy losses, go crazy, and be heartbroken! "
After that, "Shadow" mentioned a location again.
At the same time, he also clearly described the various mechanisms and arrangements at that location one by one.
