Chapter 273: Chapter 202: Various Calculations, Cutting Off the Arm with One Knife
“He actually escaped the city? How could he be so fast?”
Sensing Lu Qing’s presence outside the city, Old Woman Zheng was filled with shock and anger.
All this way, she hadn’t stopped for a moment, fully driving her movement technique towards the city gates.
That brat actually managed to get ahead of her and escape the city?
Just then, Old Woman Zheng sensed that Lu Qing’s presence had suddenly weakened a lot, as if he had suffered a serious injury.
“Let’s see how you escape now!”
...
Old Woman Zheng was overjoyed in her heart.
How could she not realize that the brat must have used some secret technique that drained his body to get out of the city before her?
Otherwise, how could a Postnatal Realm possibly outpace her, an Innate Realm Expert, in speed?
But a secret technique capable of exploding with Innate Realm speed must have its costs when used.
The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.
Now that the brat’s presence had greatly diminished, it must have been the end of the secret technique’s duration, and the side effects had erupted.
Making her judgment, Old Woman Zheng didn’t even think about it; she flung away the guard in her hand and rushed out of the city.
If she hesitated any longer, she was afraid the brat would use that technique to hide his presence and continue playing hide and seek with her like a mouse.
After chasing for a while, the old woman figured it out.
The brat’s technique to hide his presence probably couldn’t be maintained continuously and had a certain time limit.
Otherwise, he could just continuously hide his presence and find someplace to hide.
With his cunning, within the vast Cangzhou Prefecture City, even she would find it extremely difficult to track him again.
As Old Woman Zheng rushed out of the city, the guard she had thrown smashed heavily onto the ground, immediately bleeding profusely from his head.
If he hadn’t had some martial skills and achieved Small Success in bone marrow, that fall might have killed him.
“Old Chen, are you alright?”
His colleague, who had been cowering to one side, quickly stepped forward to help him up.
“I’m fine, it’s just that half of my life is already gone.”
Old Chen showed a bitter smile, feeling his Qi-Blood dissipating and his inner organs faintly aching.
Knowing that he must have suffered internal injuries and would need at least ten days to half a month to recover fully.
“That person just now, was that the Zheng Family’s old ancestress, right? Who is it that has made her so angry…”
His colleague hadn’t finished speaking when suddenly, his body stiffened.
Once again, he saw several figures emanating powerful auras appearing before the city gate.
One of them, he was quite familiar with.
“City, City Lord?”
Old Chen was equally shocked, stuttering.
“You’re injured, who did this?”
Although the City Lord didn’t recognize Old Chen and his friend, seeing their attire, he knew they were city gate guards.
“Reporting to the City Lord, it was an old lady holding a dragon-headed cane.”
Seeing the City Lord so kindly concerned about him, Old Chen, moved, respectfully answered.
Although he harbored resentment towards that old woman, he still dared not speak rudely.
“It really was her,” said an elegant old man, “young fellow, do you know why that old lady wanted to leave the city?”
“I’m not entirely sure, but that old lady seemed to be chasing someone. A figure had dashed out of the city earlier, and she rushed after him, directly calling him a ‘brat’ as if she hated him deeply.”
Old Chen briefly explained the situation just now.
“A brat?”
The elegant old man and the others exchanged glances, somewhat surprised.
“Who was it who provoked that old lady to such anger, making her use Innate pressure in the city and even chase directly out of the city?”
As the events had unfolded too quickly, the few Innate Realm Experts were still unclear about what had happened at Zheng Mansion.
Again, as they were too far behind, they had failed to sense Lu Qing’s presence.
For a moment, they were all puzzled by the situation in front of them.
“Hmph! Whatever the reason, won’t we know once we catch up?” City Lord harrumphed.
“Old Lady Zheng has repeatedly used her Innate pressure brazenly throughout the city, and this time, even injured the city gate guards. Last time, I overlooked it due to her grandson’s death, but does she truly think that Cangzhou Prefecture City has no rules?”
“Alright, let’s go up and see what exactly is happening.”
The refined elderly men, knowing the City Lord was getting angry.
In the State Mansion City, they, several families of the Innate Realm, always had a mutual restraint and some opposition with the City Lord Mansion.
Now that the old hag was repeatedly breaking the rules, it naturally aroused his displeasure.
The group used their movement techniques and also headed outside the city.
Leaving only the people at the city gate, looking at each other, not understanding what had happened inside the city to even disturb the City Lord.
“You little beast, I’ll see where you can escape to!”
Just as the refined elders left the city gate,
About ten miles from State Mansion City, Old Woman Zheng finally caught sight of Lu Qing’s figure again.
In her joy, she also felt secretly shocked.
The resilience of this little beast was frightfully stubborn.
Chasing from the State Mansion City, he had used that bizarre technique to conceal his Qi-Blood multiple times.
If it weren’t for the open space outside the city and the clear footprints on the ground, she might have really let the little beast escape.
But by this time, her heart had somewhat settled.
Because she felt that, after this chase, the Qi-Blood of that little beast had weakened significantly once again, and his speed had greatly decreased, even his figure staggering.
Clearly, he was at the end of his strength.
It wouldn’t take a few moments for her to catch up to him.
Seemingly realizing he could no longer escape, Old Woman Zheng saw the figure ahead suddenly stop, leaning against a big rock, gasping for breath, drenched in sweat, his gaze vicious, staring intensely at her.
“Run, why aren’t you running? Little beast, where can you run to now!”
Seeing that Lu Qing had finally stopped, Old Woman Zheng was in no hurry.
She also stopped her movement technique and slowly walked forward.
Seeing the viciousness in Lu Qing’s eyes, her heart felt incredibly gratified.
“Little beast, don’t rush, wait till I chop off your limbs and slowly torture you. I hope you can keep up this ferocity, otherwise, it would be too boring!”
Old Woman Zheng said with a smile on her face, yet her words were exceptionally cruel.
She loathed Lu Qing to the bone and would not let him die easily.
She wanted to capture him and torture him endlessly, to vent the hatred in her heart.
Just as she had done to that temptress years ago, who had bewitched her eldest son and led to his death.
Lu Qing, silent, just kept glaring fiercely at the old woman.
But this made the old woman’s heart even more gratified.
With a cruel smile, she lightly tapped her dragon head cane, and several transparent strong energies appeared, aiming to cripple Lu Qing’s limbs.
However, just as the strong energies were about to ruin Lu Qing’s limbs.
Suddenly, Lu Qing revealed a brilliant smile.
The big rock behind him burst apart, and his figure suddenly vanished from the spot.
When he reappeared, he was less than two meters in front of the old woman.
Whoosh!
A dazzling, bright sword light flared.
A wrinkled, bark-like arm fell to the ground.
Accompanied by a sentence.
“Old hag, who did you say you were going to chop the limbs off of?”
