Seeing the Nascent Soul Realm cultivator rolling on the ground screaming in agony, all the cultivators in the third level were shocked.
Even a cultivator at the Nascent Soul Realm, with such a firm will, could not bear the screams.
It's hard to imagine the extent of his suffering right now.
More importantly, the Nascent Soul Realm cultivator who just tried to attack Lu Qing was at the sixth level of the Nascent Soul Realm.
His cultivation level was a whole level higher than Lu Qing's.
In a single exchange, his arm was severed, sword energy entered his body, and he collapsed to the ground, severely injured, screaming in agony.
Isn't this fifth-level prodigy only known for his speed? Why is his actual combat strength also so formidable?
For a moment, everyone looked at Lu Qing with apprehension.
That sword light just now was terrifying.
Even they had no confidence that they could withstand it.
Lu Qing's expression remained unchanged despite severely injuring a sixth-level Nascent Soul cultivator with a single sword strike.
He didn't even glance at the other people.
What that person said was simply unreasonable.
There aren't many people in the third level, and the testing stone is so big that you can learn from it from any direction, so there's no distinction between first come and first served.
The reason he wanted to harm him was simply because he coveted the secrets he possessed.
Lu Qing would naturally not be polite to such a person with ill intentions.
His gaze fell on the screaming Nascent Soul Realm cultivator.
A few breaths later, the message on the other party's note appeared in his field of vision.
His gaze then narrowed slightly.
Just then, the Nascent Soul Realm cultivator finally managed to suppress the sword energy within his body to some extent, gaining a brief respite.
He glared venomously at Lu Qing: "Boy, do you know who I am? I am..."
"Noisy".
However, before he could finish speaking, Lu Qing casually flicked out a wisp of sword energy, which landed on the head of the Nascent Soul Realm cultivator.
In an instant, the eyes of the Nascent Soul Realm cultivator widened, filled with terror.
They seemed unable to believe that Lu Qing would actually dare to kill.
But it was too late for regrets. His primordial spirit was as fragile as a bubble under Lu Qing's sword energy.
In the blink of an eye, it was completely extinguished, and the breath of life began to gradually dissipate.
With a flick of his finger, Lu Qing's storage bag landed in his hand.
Then he summoned an array plate to protect himself before looking at the sword-testing stone in front of him.
All the movements were performed in one smooth motion, and he didn't look at anyone else once from beginning to end.
It was as if what he had just killed was not a sixth-level Nascent Soul cultivator, but merely an insect that he had casually crushed.
However, the other Nascent Soul Realm experts were so shocked that they didn't dare to utter a single breath.
A sixth-level Nascent Soul was easily killed right before their eyes.
They were not only surprised by Lu Qing's ruthless methods, but also shocked by his formidable strength.
With the cultivation level of the fifth tribulation, he reversed the severance of the sixth tribulation primordial spirit, and still completely crushed it.
Regardless of how Lu Qing did it, the other Nascent Soul Realm cultivators all felt a chill enveloping their entire bodies.
No longer daring to make the slightest mistake, they simply remained carefully in place, watching Lu Qing comprehend the sword intent.
Then, very quickly, they witnessed an even more shocking scene.
Lu Qing closed his eyes to comprehend the sword intent, and after a moment, he opened his eyes.
A beam of sword light burst forth from his fingertips, slashing towards the testing stone in front of him.
After a soft sound, a sword mark appeared on the sword-testing stone.
It was exactly three inches deep, not an inch more, not an inch less.
A beam of light appeared and enveloped Lu Qing.
Lu Qing put away the array plate, and a few breaths later, his figure had disappeared from the third level.
This scene left the other Nascent Soul Realm cultivators dumbfounded.
"He... he broke through the barrier just like that?"
"It only took a quarter of an hour to break through the third level. What kind of monster is this?!"
"Even those sword fanatics from the Breaking Heaven Sword Sect don't have such talent in swordsmanship, do they?"
"Let alone the disciples of the Breaking Heaven Sword Sect, I suspect that even Yu Jian's breakthrough speed is far inferior to his!"
"Just who is this fifth-tribulation cultivator?"
The group of Nascent Soul Realm cultivators erupted in commotion, completely losing their former image as powerful Nascent Soul Realm experts.
The Nascent Soul Realm cultivator who had seen Lu Qing in the array passage before stared wide-eyed, as if he had seen some kind of monster.
"First the array passage, then the sword passage, the speed at which he breaks through is so fast, just what kind of monster is this?"
The celestial palace was also shrouded in silence.
This time, the old dragons clearly saw how Lu Qing broke through the barrier.
But that's precisely why they find it all the more incredible.
Whether it's severely injuring a six-fold primordial spirit with a single sword strike or breaking through the third barrier in a matter of moments.
Lu Qing's performance in the sword passage was even more amazing than his performance in the formation passage.
Could it be that what Xiao Li said is true, and that Lu Qing's talent in swordsmanship is even greater than his talent in array formation?
Thinking of this, the three old dragons couldn't help but breathe more rapidly.
If that's true, then Lu Qing's talent is simply unimaginable.
"Get ready," the old dragon suddenly said. "If Aqing is in danger, even if it means disobeying your master's orders, you must save him."
Black Bull and Mingfeng were startled, but neither of them voiced any objection.
Even though Mingfeng always regarded her master's words as the law of heaven, she tacitly agreed with the old Azure Dragon's words at this moment.
Because the value that Lu Qing is currently demonstrating is simply too great.
They absolutely could not accept that such an exceptionally talented disciple would die before their eyes.
Even if they are punished for disobeying their owner's rules, they will not hesitate.
Moreover, they believe that even if their owner were here, he wouldn't blame them.
"There are fewer people in the fourth stage than expected."
On the other side, Lu Qing's figure had already appeared in the fourth level of the sword passage.
To his surprise, there were only a handful of people in this fourth round, fewer than he had expected.
When the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators saw Lu Qing appear, they first looked over warily.
When they saw Lu Qing's appearance clearly, they were surprised.
They still remembered this person.
Lu Qing originally didn't want to pay attention to these people, but when he saw one of them wearing a black and white Taoist robe, his gaze suddenly stopped.
"Are you a person who believes in black and white?"
The gazes of the other Nascent Soul Realm cultivators all fell upon that person, their eyes revealing a strange light.
They all knew that the people of the Black and White Temple were at odds with this fifth-level cultivator.
After all, Lu Qing had tricked Mo Tu Shan that day, and the Black and White Temple had also been ridiculed for a long time.
The Black and White Temple disciple grinned maliciously: "Boy, it's truly a case of 'searching high and low without finding it,' but I never expected to run into you here. I'd like to see where you can run to this time!"
The disciple of the Black and White Temple was overjoyed.
He never expected to encounter Lu Qing in the Sword Path passage.
A few years ago, he followed his senior brother Tu Shan into the physical body test channel, but in the end, due to insufficient talent, he only made it to the fifth level before he couldn't persevere and was kicked out.
This time, I'll try the kendo passage, which I'm more familiar with, and see if I can learn anything from it.
Unexpectedly, Lu Qing appeared here.
"If we can capture this brat and hand him over to Senior Brother Tu Shan, that will be a great achievement!"
Excitement gleamed in the eyes of the disciple from the Black and White Temple.
He was at the peak of the sixth tribulation, only one step away from the seventh tribulation of the primordial spirit, and his strength completely surpassed that of Lu Qing.
The space in the fourth level of the sword passage is not large, which will greatly limit Lu Qing's strange speed.
In other words, this time, this young man with five tribulations will have no chance of escape!
With various thoughts flashing through his mind, the Black and White Temple disciple did not hesitate and directly activated a black bone magic weapon, blasting it towards Lu Qing.
But just as his magic weapon was activated, before it had even flown halfway there...
His eyes were filled with dazzling light.
A dazzling sword light, arriving before him, swept past his body.
The disciple of the Black and White Temple trembled instantly.
The primordial spirit vanished, and the life force rapidly dissipated.
A line of blood appeared on his forehead and quickly spread down to his body.
He fell backward, splitting in two, and exuded a strong stench of blood.
Even the black bone magic weapon, which was of the spiritual artifact level, let out a shrill scream before breaking in two.
However, this disciple of the Black and White Temple, who possessed the cultivation of a sixth-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, was defeated by Lu Qing's domineering and unparalleled sword energy.
He and his magical artifact were both killed by a single sword strike, their bodies and souls annihilated, and they perished completely.
"What?!"
Seeing this, the other Nascent Soul Realm cultivators trembled in fear, almost jumping up on the spot.
Lu Qing's sword strike was truly terrifying.
A disciple of the Black and White Temple, who had reached the sixth level of the Tribulation Realm, was killed by a single sword strike before he could even hold out for a moment.
That chilling sword strike made them feel as if they were sitting in an ice cellar, almost freezing their very souls.
After killing the Black and White Temple disciple, Lu Qing still ignored the others.
After taking the storage magic treasure from his body, he went straight to the sword-testing stone, summoned the array plate, and began to comprehend the sword intent on it.
The other Nascent Soul Realm experts, even the weakest of them, still possessed the cultivation of the initial stage of the Six Tribulations Realm.
But at this moment, no one dared to move; they all sat obediently in place.
He was terrified that if he made the slightest move, he would be met with Lu Qing's terrifying sword strike.
Fortunately, this feeling of being constantly on edge didn't last long.
A moment later, Lu Qing, who had been meditating on sword intent with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and unleashed a sword aura.
The sword energy struck the testing stone, leaving a three-inch-deep sword mark before a pillar of light appeared, enveloping him.
A few breaths later, after Lu Qing's figure disappeared, the other Nascent Soul Realm cultivators finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"That jinx is finally gone."
"How could this person be so strong!"
"If he has such strength, why did he run away when he faced Demon Slaughter Mountain?"
"Wait a minute, he broke through the barrier in just a quarter of an hour?!"
As the last person shouted, the other Nascent Soul Realm cultivators were startled for a moment, then their eyes widened again.
"She broke through the barrier in just a quarter of an hour, and even a Nascent Soul cultivator at the sixth level of tribulation couldn't withstand A Qing's sword strike?"
Inside the celestial palace, the old Azure Dragon and the others were at a loss for words.
Lu Qing's performance has repeatedly refreshed their understanding.
Whether it was breaking through the test left by the master in the fourth level of the sword passage in a quarter of an hour, or killing a perfected sixth-level primordial spirit in one move with the cultivation of the fifth level of tribulation.
It goes far beyond what the word "genius" can explain.
So they could only continue to watch and see what other amazing things Lu Qing had up his sleeve.
However, the old Azure Dragon and the others had a vague feeling that Lu Qing might not need them to take action this time.
With the strength he has shown so far, even if he is no match for Demon Slaughter Mountain, he is not without the ability to protect himself.
Only Xiao Li remained calm, showing no surprise whatsoever.
In its eyes, Lu Qing was omnipotent.
Back when he was in the Golden Core Realm, he was able to cross a major realm and fight against the Nascent Soul Realm.
It's just the fifth tribulation severing the sixth tribulation, which is perfectly normal in its eyes.
It would be strange if Lu Qing couldn't do it.
"Huh? There's no one here for the fifth level?"
Lu Qing appeared at the fifth level of the Sword Path.
He looked around but found the place empty and there was no one else there.
Only the seven teleportation arrays on the ground were flashing.
"Did they go to another passage, or has no one else made it this far?"
Lu Qing had seen similar teleportation arrays on the ground before, in the array passages.
However, he was focused on breaking the formation at the time and ignored it.
Looking at them now, I'm a little hesitant; should I go check out the other passages?
However, after thinking about it for a while, he gave up on the idea.
His main purpose in coming here this time was still to find Demon Slaughter Mountain.
Each level in the challenge has a time limit for completion.
Based on the timeline, it's highly unlikely that Demon Slaughter Mountain would still be in the fifth level unless he was eliminated in the physical passage.
So there's no need to waste time like that.
Lu Qing composed himself, activated his special ability, and looked at the Sword Testing Stone.
"At this rate, Aqing will soon catch up with Motushan and the others."
Inside the celestial palace, the old Azure Dragon looked at Lu Qing, who was comprehending the sword intent, and suddenly spoke.
“That’s right. Mo Tu Shan and Yu Jian have only recently entered the seventh level. With A Qing’s speed of progress, even if she is a little slower later, she will catch up with them in no time.” The black bull nodded in agreement.
"However, Aqing is taking the sword path, and the first people she will encounter will be Yujian and that girl named Qingxi. After what happened before, they are extremely vigilant, and I wonder if they will clash with Aqing."
"That is a problem. Hopefully, they won't clash. If they can join forces, dealing with that Demon Slaughter Mountain will be much easier."
The old Azure Dragons and the others became somewhat worried.
After being ambushed by Mo Tu Shan and nearly losing their lives, Yu Jian and Qing Xi became extremely vigilant.
If the two react excessively when Lu Qing breaks through to the seventh level, Lu Qing may find himself in great danger.
After all, those were two eighth-level Nascent Soul cultivators, especially Yu Jian, whose strength was no less than that of Mo Tu Shan; he was a true genius in swordsmanship.
Their swordsmanship was exceptional, even by their own standards, making them outstanding among their peers in their time.
If the two of them attack together, Lu Qing will probably have a hard time resisting them.
"Aqing has entered the sixth level."
Suddenly, Mingfeng spoke. (End of Chapter)
