"How is this possible?"
The figure looked at the huge hole in his chest in disbelief.
He hadn't noticed any attack at all, so why was his heart gone?
"Old Four, what's wrong?"
The companion next to him noticed that something was wrong with this person and asked anxiously.
"He's dead!"
But at this time, Lu Qing's sword had already arrived.
With one knife, the killer whose heart was hollowed out by Xiao Li was split into two halves.
"Ah! Old Four!"
The remaining two killers looked at their companion being killed and the bloody hole in his heart, and their eyes suddenly turned red with anger.
At the same time, I felt a chill in my heart.
Up to now, they still didn't know who was coming, and as a result, two of their companions died on the spot.
The most crucial thing is that they all died very easily. They didn't even have the chance to use any decent resistance and were just killed directly.
How did the fourth brother's heart disappear? The person in front of them clearly didn't get close to them!
The two surviving killers felt more and more frightened the more they thought about it.
You know, they are all powerful people who have reached the peak of the innate realm!
Although I took shortcuts and used tricks when I made the breakthrough, I exhausted my potential.
But even if their potential is exhausted, they are still at the peak of the innate realm.
As a result, the mysterious man in front of them killed two people in a row like cutting melons and vegetables. This was simply unimaginable for the remaining two people.
Even if one has reached perfection in the innate realm, he wouldn’t be able to do this. What kind of monster is this man in black in front of him?
Just as the remaining two Wujianlou killers were looking at Lu Qing in fear.
Lu Qing was also a little surprised.
He felt strange just now that these killers in front of him were all at the peak of the innate realm.
But the atmosphere always feels a little empty, as if it is a bit flashy and superficial.
Facts have also proved that the two people he just killed did not show the strength that one should have at the peak of the Innate Realm.
At most, he is slightly stronger than the killers who attacked the courtyard before, but his strength is limited.
Not to mention comparing with the master, even the monk Xuannu who was injured by him during the day was much stronger than them.
However, although he felt a little strange, Lu Qing did not neglect it.
Because he felt that a strange force was flowing in the hearts of the remaining two people opposite him. At the same time, the aura of the two people was also rapidly surging.
"Want to perform a life-threatening secret technique?"
Lu Qing remembered what the Tianji Tower Master had said before, and immediately called out through telepathy: "Xiao Li!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Li's figure appeared from the space in front of the two killers, and reached towards one of them's heart with his claws.
What the hell!
This time, the two killers, who were extremely nervous, finally noticed Xiao Li's whereabouts.
But it was too late.
Xiao Li's claws have become sharper and unparalleled after his bloodline has undergone several transformations and he has practiced the inheritance in his mind.
Even ordinary divine weapons can be easily destroyed.
Although the killer reacted quickly, he put the dagger in front of his chest the moment he found Xiao Li's trace.
But in front of Xiao Li's indestructible claws, everything was in vain.
There was a flash of cold light, and the killer's divine short sword couldn't even withstand a breath of attack before it was cut off by Xiao Li's claws and pierced into his chest.
As Xiao Li took away his heart, the killer's body suddenly stiffened, with endless fear in his eyes.
Because the next moment, Lu Qing's knife was already in front of him, and cut off his head with one stroke.
"ah!!!"
Another killer who was using secret techniques collapsed completely when he saw another of his companions die in front of him.
He didn't care. Even though the secret technique was only half performed, he mobilized all his strength, pounced towards Lu Qing, and stabbed him with a sword.
Because he was afraid that if he didn't take action, he would never have another chance.
However, the killer felt a pain in his heart when he only thrust out half of the sword, and all his movements came to a sudden halt.
He looked down at his chest, and as expected, there was a big hole there.
Feeling the vitality draining away from his body, the killer smiled miserably.
He knew that he was doomed.
Without a heart, even a powerful person who has reached the perfection of the innate realm would find it difficult to survive.
However, before he died, there was one thing he had to figure out.
Otherwise, he would not be able to rest in peace even if he died.
The killer stared at the ghost mask on Lu Qing's face and asked, "Who are you and why did you attack us?"
"The remnants of Wujian Tower must be killed by anyone." Lu Qing said in a low voice.
Finally, the killer's eyes suddenly widened. The other party really knew their identities and came specifically for them.
He opened his mouth slightly, about to ask something else.
But Lu Qing was no longer able to give him another chance. He swung his long sword lightly, and the killer's head flew up. After struggling a few times, he fell to the ground with a bang.
"Sure enough, there is something wrong with the cultivation of these people."
After killing the last killer, Lu Qing activated his supernatural powers and looked at his corpse.
Soon, several notes emerged from the killer's body.
He quickly read the notes and immediately understood.
Although these Wujian Tower assassins have all reached the great perfection of the Innate Realm, their cultivation was forcibly improved using the Wujian Tower's secret methods at the cost of consuming their potential.
He has the realm, but his foundation is weak and his strength is only slightly stronger than that of an ordinary person in the innate realm.
It is far inferior to the true achievement of the innate realm achieved through hard work and down-to-earth practice.
To be honest, they can only be regarded as "pseudo-innate great achievements".
"But, Xuankong Mountain, you guys are really brave."
Lu Qing looked at the last note floating on the corpse with a cold look in his eyes.
The note showed that these killers were not only sent by Xuankongshan.
There is even a hint that Hanging Mountain seems to be hiding more evil things.
Suddenly, Lu Qing's expression changed: "Someone is coming, Xiao Li, let's go."
Immediately, his aura was completely restrained, and Xiao Li disappeared directly.
However, before leaving, Lu Qing quickly took away the weapons of the killers.
Although he no longer cared about ordinary magical weapons.
However, the materials that can be made into magic weapons are extraordinary, and perhaps he can use them in the future.
As soon as Lu Qing and Xiao Li left, a figure emitting a powerful aura appeared on the wall.
Seeing what was happening below, his pupils shrank.
At this moment, several powerful figures appeared.
I was also shocked to see the collapsed house and the mess below.
"Brother Fang, you are the first to arrive. What's going on?" someone asked immediately.
"I don't know either. I just arrived a few breaths earlier than you. When I first arrived, this is what I saw."
The figure who arrived first answered.
"It seems that there have been battles between masters here."
One of the figures moved his feet slightly, landed on the ground, and began to check the corpses.
Several other figures also jumped down.
After a thorough inspection, several people looked at the bodies of the killers, sensed the remaining aura on them, and began to feel frightened.
Because they discovered that these corpses did not seem to be weaker than them when they were alive. At least they were all strong people with innate minor success or above.
But how could such a powerful warrior be killed?
You know, it didn't take them much time from sensing the movement here to rushing over.
Judging from the still warm bodies of these dead people, they had only just died.
In such a short period of time, four powerful warriors who were at the innate minor level or above were killed on the spot.
How strong must the person who made the move be?
For a moment, the people who rushed over felt their hearts tremble and looked around vigilantly.
They had already begun to regret coming here so rashly.
If the person who killed someone is still nearby, wouldn't they be in danger?
Fortunately, after being alert for a while, they saw that there was no abnormal situation around them, and they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The unknown master who killed these four people should have left.
"Who are these people? When did so many Xiantian Realm experts come to the Holy City?"
After feeling safe, some people began to become interested in the identities of the dead people.
He continued to check, and suddenly, he saw one of the bodies cut in half. On the heart of one half, there was a conspicuous tattoo, and he was stunned for a moment.
Somehow, he always felt that this tattoo seemed familiar.
But when he thought about it carefully, he always couldn't remember.
The man stared at the tattoo, thinking hard.
Finally, a flash of inspiration came into his mind.
His eyes gradually widened, with shock in them: "This isn't..."
…
Lu Qing didn't know what happened after he left.
When he realized someone was coming, he took Xiao Li and left.
As for whether the people coming later would discover the identities of the killers, he didn't care.
Anyway, everyone wants to kill Wujian Tower, so if other forces discover that it still exists, it will be a good thing for him.
At least after the Hanging Mountain, even if you want to use these killers again, you have to think twice.
After returning to the courtyard, the old doctor was sitting in Lu Qing's room.
Xiaoyan was sleeping soundly in bed.
The little guy's sleep is still as good as ever.
Even the noise made by the assassins who came to assassinate her failed to wake her up.
"Is it done?"
The old doctor asked when he saw Lu Qing and Xiao Li coming back.
"Yeah." Lu Qing nodded.
"Then I'll go back to my room and rest."
The old doctor didn't ask Lu Qing why he suddenly went out, and went back to his room.
Anyway, he knew that Lu Qing must have his own reasons for going out.
The absolute trust between master and disciple does not require everything to be made clear.
After the master left, Lu Qing sat cross-legged on his bed.
A lot happened tonight and he needed to think and sort it out.
The first thing was the sudden appearance of Wujian Tower.
Lu Qing was not too afraid of Wujian Tower.
After the battle just now, he has discovered that he and Xiao Li seem to be particularly restrained against existence like Wujian Tower.
Because, as a killer force, the strong men trained by Wujian Tower basically all follow the path of assassination.
It relies on the super-strong breath concealment method, which can burst out suddenly and kill the enemy instantly.
The actual head-on combat capability is actually not that outstanding.
However, the so-called method of hiding the breath was almost useless in the face of Lu Qing's terrifyingly strong spiritual sensing power and Xiao Li's even more unreasonable and strange sensing ability.
What's more, when it comes to concealing one's breath, there is Lu Qing who possesses the soul talisman, and Xiao Li who possesses natural supernatural powers.
Their method of concealing their breath is even more perfect than that of Wujian Tower.
In this way, the killers of Wujian Tower were in front of Lu Qing and Xiao Li.
No matter which aspect it was, they were completely crushed.
Naturally, it is impossible to pose a threat to them.
Compared to Wujian Tower, what Lu Qing really fears is Xuankong Mountain.
Xuankong Mountain was able to point out even the Wujian Tower that had disappeared for hundreds of years.
Obviously, it is one of the most mysterious and powerful forces in the world.
The water in this strange place was deeper than he had imagined.
Who knows what kind of monsters are hidden in the secret place of Hanging Mountain.
Now they have become mortal enemies with Xuankong Mountain, so they must be careful of the other party's sinister tactics in the future.
Unfortunately, Lu Qing didn't know the true location of Hanging Mountain.
Otherwise, he really wanted to find an opportunity to give the other party a hard blow.
Except for the Hanging Mountain.
Another thing is one’s own cultivation.
Tonight's breakthrough really took Lu Qing by surprise.
He had not expected that the breakthrough to the Innate Realm, which he had been most confident of all along, would be stuck in the end because his foundation was too strong.
Although he has cultivated true qi now, his strength has reached a new level.
However, the innate body was not condensed, and the true qi cultivated lacked a bit of spirituality, and the essence of life did not undergo any transformation.
The most obvious one is that he is still in the acquired realm, and his lifespan has not been increased. He can only live for 120 years at most.
However, the true innate realm has a lifespan of three hundred years.
In other words, if he cannot step into the innate realm, no matter how powerful Lu Qing is, he will not be able to use his acquired body to kill the innate with a sword like he is now.
But one hundred and twenty years later, under the restrictions of the rules of heaven and earth, his life limit will be reached, and his body and soul will decay and he will eventually die.
"The difference between acquired and innate is not just about strength. The most important thing is the difference in the essence of life between the two."
After experiencing the breakthrough tonight, Lu Qing had a deeper understanding of the difference between the acquired realm and the innate realm.
“I can feel that the next time the sound of Heaven and Earth sounds, the rules that evolve from it should be strong enough to withstand my breakthrough.
Moreover, this time should not be far away."
Lu Qing sat cross-legged on the bed, his breath was distant, and with the powerful power of his soul, he sensed the changes in the surrounding world.
Although he did not formally break through to the innate realm, after cultivating true qi, his physical body and spiritual power were nourished by the true qi and also enhanced to a certain extent.
If he had the strength he has now during the day.
If that bald monk Xuan Nu was hit by his sword, it would not be just a serious injury.
Lu Qing was confident that if the opponent did not have a stronger trump card, he could completely destroy his Vajra Dharma body with just one sword, cutting it in half!
