I Can See Through All Things' Information

At this moment, near the city gate, not only disciples of the Tian Cang sect were present, but also other martial artists from the city's various forces.

All of them were the strongest of their respective groups.

Even the weakest among them was a powerful martial artist, approaching Great Achievement in the Bone Marrow Realm.

Since the prohibition order that forbade Innate Realm martial artists from injuring those below their realm at will became known, everyone was less reverent toward Innate Realm experts.

Upon hearing that another Innate Realm expert had arrived outside the city, they all hurried over.

After all, opportunities to observe Innate Realm martial artists up close were rare, and being able to witness and feel the aura of the Innate Realm might even benefit their future cultivation.

Unexpectedly, just as they arrived, they witnessed Lu Qing effortlessly withstand Wang Cangyi's innate pressure without changing his expression.

This left everyone in awe and disbelief.

In previous days, they had experienced firsthand how terrifying the pressure exerted by Innate Realm experts could be.

During the standoff between Wang Cangyi and Wei Shanhai, the entire county had almost trembled under their innate pressure.

How did that young man manage to remain unaffected?

"It seems Mr. Wang really regards the Holy Mountain's prohibition as nothing. The question is, can you afford the consequences of violating it?"

Lu Qing looked at the figure on the city gate and spoke loudly.

The calm and composed manner in which he did so left the other martial artists somewhat dumbfounded.

This young man was truly audacious, daring to openly question an Innate Realm Grandmaster!

Was he not afraid of truly angering Wang Cangyi and getting himself killed with a single sword strike?

Looking down upon Lu Qing, Wang Cangyi's gaze was icy. He was about to speak when he suddenly sensed two auras appear on the side of the city wall.

He turned to look and saw the County Lord and the Cloth-clothed Youth standing not far away, looking in his direction.

Seeing the calm gaze of the Cloth-clothed Youth, Wang Cangyi's expression paused for a moment, and the harsh words he had intended to utter were swallowed back down.

However, the anger in his heart could not be suppressed.

If it weren't for the presence of this disciple from Tianji Building, he would have already unleashed a massacre.

Unfortunately, even with his anger, there was nothing he could do in this situation.

Being unable to do anything about the Cloth-clothed Youth didn't mean he had no way of dealing with Lu Qing, though.

"Boy, you have guts and a bit of cleverness, a mere Muscle Bone Realm warrior daring to talk back at me. But do you think that just because the Holy Mountain's prohibition order is in place, I have no way to deal with you?"

"No, you are merely seeking your own death!"

With a mocking look on his face, Wang Cangyi regarded Lu Qing as if he were looking at a dead man.

"Bear, capture this kid for me. Don't kill him just yet; let's torture him well after he's been caught!"

"Yes, Master!" The Great Han, Wang Cangyi's eldest disciple, responded with a deep voice, stepping forward slowly.

"Mr. Zhi Rui, the boy has insulted me. I'm having my eldest disciple teach him a lesson. That doesn't violate the Holy Mountain's prohibition order, does it?"

Wang Cangyi turned his head to speak to the Cloth-clothed Youth.

"Of course not," the Cloth-clothed Youth shook his head.

"And what if that Innate Realm expert over there makes a move against my disciple because of this? Does that violate the order?" Wang Cangyi asked again.

"It does!" The Cloth-clothed Youth uttered a word expressionlessly.

"Good, very good," Wang Cangyi nodded in satisfaction.

He then called down, "Bear, did you hear that? If that old fellow dares to lay a hand on you, your master will stand up for you, so don't worry."

"I understand, Master!" the Great Han shouted back.

Wang Cangyi's conversation with the Cloth-clothed Youth was not intentionally masked, so nearly all the martial artists heard it.

Suddenly, everyone's glance toward Lu Qing was filled with pity.

Who was this Great Han? He was capable of exchanging blows with the Wei Family Patriarch, already at the peak of Postnatal Martial Artists, and held the title of an expert with the Perfect Internal Realm.

Among those here, apart from the two Innate Realm adults and the mysterious Lord Zhi Rui, he likely had the highest cultivation level.

Lu Qing was merely a minor sinew and bone warrior—how could he possibly be a match for him?

Moreover, the words that Lu Qing had used to taunt Wang Cangyi earlier were now being turned against him by Wang Cangyi, effectively tying down his only support.

"What should we do now, elder doctor?" Ma Gu asked, watching the Great Han approach step by step and sensing the strong Qi-Blood emanating from him.

This was someone they were clearly incapable of dealing with. The Great Han felt even more powerful than the Internal Organ Realm expert they had previous encountered in the Nameless Valley.

"Ah Qing, you step back."

The elder doctor wouldn't stand by and watch his disciple suffer; he was ready to take action to make the opponent back down.

However, Wang Cangyi, who had been paying close attention to this side, could hardly overlook this scene.

Seeing the elder doctor about to move, he immediately condensed a Sword Qi in his hands.

"Old man, you want to bully the weak? Then don't blame me for being rude!"

With an imposing aura rising, it seemed Wang Cangyi was about to charge over here, but Lu Qing held back the elder doctor's hand.

"Master, it's not yet time for you to act. Let me go and meet this brute first."

"But Ah Qing..."

"Rest assured, Master, I'm confident. Even if I'm not his match, I can still retreat in one piece."

Seeing the faint smile on his disciple's face, the elder doctor eventually lowered his hand.

He knew Lu Qing was always prudent and seldom did things without assurance.

Even if he couldn't imagine how someone with Great Achievement in the Bone Realm could fight against someone with Perfection in the Internal Organ Realm, out of trust for his student, he decided to believe in Lu Qing.

"Young Master Lu, are you going to fight that villain?"

Mrs. Wei exclaimed in surprise from the ox-cart.

"Someone has to buy some time. But, Mrs. Wei, your Wei family's reinforcements are taking too long. We have been waiting for so long, and they still haven't shown up."

Lu Qing's expression was somewhat grave.

"I, I don't know... Maybe something in the mansion is holding them up..."

Mrs. Wei felt somewhat ashamed as she spoke.

"I just hope the Wei Family Master and the others can arrive soon. Otherwise, I may not be able to hold on for much longer," Lu Qing sighed.

He took off the covered basket on his back, handed it to Little Yan, then pulled his war saber out from the ox cart.

"Little Li, protect Little Yan well. If anyone tries to harm her, show no mercy."

Mrs. Wei and her son were stunned, and just as they wished to ask who Little Li was, they saw Lu Qing already striding forward with saber in hand.

Only Ma Gu was taken aback upon hearing Lu Qing's words.

He heard Lu Qing intended to face off against the imposing Great Han opposite and thought he would, like the time in the Nameless Valley, fight with that mysterious living creature capable of invisibility.

But from what he'd just heard, it seemed that Lu Qing wanted the mysterious creature to protect Little Yan while he faced the battle alone!

But after all, he was only in the Muscle Bone Realm. How could he possibly be an opponent for an expert in the Postnatal Internal Realm?

Unfortunately, before Ma Gu could intervene, Lu Qing had already walked away, leaving him anxious in his place.

As Ma Gu fretted, the martial artists near the city gate were equally staggered.

For they saw the youth across from them not only wasn't running away but was also carrying a weapon and approaching the imposing Great Han.

"Has this youth gone mad? Does he really wish to engage with this Internal Organ Realm Grandmaster?"

"That kid must be scared silly. Now the senior brother will surely rip him to shreds!"

"Youthful ignorance... Can't he see just how powerful his opponent is?"

"Foolhardy. That boy is as good as dead!"

...

A ripple of commotion spread among those below the city gate, and the few powerful individuals atop the city wall were likewise surprised.

At first, Wang Cang's face reflected surprise, but it quickly turned into a sneer.

As expected, utterly ignorant of the immensity of the heavens and the earth, thinking he was all that just because he had some talent.

Perfect. He could let his son capture him as a hostage.

Then force that old man across to hand over the mother and son of the Wei family.

"Zhi Rui, who is this reckless youth?" the County Lord couldn't help asking his friend.

"I do not know either."

The cloth-clothed youth shook his head, but his gaze towards Lu Qing held a hint of peculiarity.

When he saw Lu Qing yesterday at Half Mountain Small Courtyard, he felt there was something special about him, as though he was shrouded in mist.

But at that time, most of his attention was on the elder doctor. He didn't pay much mind.

Now it seemed that Lu Qing might be even more special than he had thought.

With a thought, the cloth-clothed youth's gaze emitted a strand of mysterious aura, silently emanating from his eyes.

Under the watchful eyes of numerous martial artists, Lu Qing arrived in front of the imposing Great Han.

And in his vision, information about the imposing Great Han had already surfaced.

Amidst the thick Superpower Light of red, a few lines of text were displayed.

[Zhao Bear: Disciple of Tian Cang Sect, Wang Cangyi's eldest disciple, personality is stable and calm, seasoned and prudent.]

[Cultivation: Perfect Postnatal Internal Realm, proficient in saber techniques.]

[Possess secret techniques that can double combat strength in a short period of time.]

Observing the information in his view, Lu Qing was somewhat surprised.

Despite being another disciple of Wang Cangyi, the personality of this eldest disciple was unexpectedly not as vile as he had guessed.

Knowing that the few he and Little Li had slain before were no good individuals.

"Young man, you've got guts. If you kneel and beg for mercy now, perhaps I can ask my master to leave your whole corpse," said the imposing Great Han, with a trace of admiration in his eyes.

It was the first time he had seen a martial artist from the Muscle Bone Realm brave enough to stand before him.

Regardless of whether Lu Qing was overly arrogant or had some reliance,

The courage alone was enough to earn his admiration.

"Thanks for the kind offer, but I'm naturally stubborn and never had the habit of begging for mercy. I'd rather die standing than beg for life on my knees," replied Lu Qing with a smile.

"Good, I like your spunk. Now, let's see if your strength is as unyielding as your spirit," the Great Han commended with a shout.

"What use is all this talk? Let's just put it to the test. If you, too, are a swordman with your war saber, draw your blade," urged Lu Qing.

"To deal with someone in the Muscle Bone Realm like you, I wouldn't even need to draw my saber. Now, that would truly be a joke," laughed the imposing Great Han with a grin. "If you can force me to draw my saber, I won't need to appeal to my master. I can assure you a whole corpse."

"Is that so? Then I'd be endlessly grateful," remarked Lu Qing with a laugh. His body sank slightly as he assumed an opening stance of a saber technique.

"But you should be careful, sir. My saber technique is not so easily countered with just your fists."

No sooner had the words fallen, than a fierce tide of murderous intent surged from Lu Qing's being.

The ground trembled, and Lu Qing's figure vanished from the spot, reappearing before the Great Han.

A flash of bright saber light, teeming with overwhelming killing intent, cut through the air like a bolt from the blue, slashing towards the Great Han's head!

"What?!"

The Great Han was startled.

In a mere instant, he could sense the profundity of Lu Qing's blow.

It had completely locked down the space around him, giving him the feeling that no matter where he dodged, he would surely be struck.

Feeling this relentless and unavoidable killing saber strike, locking onto him, the Great Han didn't hesitate. He reached behind and drew his war saber, confronting the swift blade light about to reach him.

Clang!!

A piercing collision of sabers echoed, and under the clash of immense forces, the air rippled violently. Lu Qing and the Great Han were both forced several steps back.

"See, I told you, my saber technique isn't so easy to counter," said Lu Qing as he inspected his war saber, now notched.

He turned his gaze to the long saber-wielding Great Han, whose blade was likewise nicked, and whose face was filled with shock. Lu Qing smiled and said, "Looks like you had to draw your saber after all."
