Chapter 311: Chapter 229: Encounter, Seeking Life_2

Whoosh!

The pungent scent of blood wafted through the air as Ma Gu’s ferocious strike cleaved a tall horse in half at the waist!

Having killed a horse with a single slash, Ma Gu didn’t pause; he tapped the ground lightly with his foot and charged toward the jujube-red-faced man with another swing of his saber.

“Brother Ma, be careful; your opponent is a grandmaster with great success in the Internal Organs Realm.”

Lu Qing offered a word of caution.

...

Yet there was no worry visible on his face.

Hearing Lu Qing reveal his level of cultivation, the jujube-red-faced man, who had hoped to conceal his skill to guard against the mysterious hidden weapon expert in the carriage, was shocked once more.

But as he retreated, he suddenly stopped in his tracks. A fierce look appeared on his face, and a powerful aura erupted from him as the war saber in his hand surged in speed.

Cling!

A shrill clash of metal rang out, and amidst the violent expulsion of strong energy, Ma Gu’s lunging body was suddenly flung backward.

“Think you can escape?”

Upon seeing his powerful attack fail to kill Ma Gu, a flash of surprise crossed the jujube-red-faced man’s eyes.

His intent to kill surged, and with a thunderous sound, he shot toward Ma Gu, who was now defenseless in midair, aiming to slice him in two with a single strike.

Hiss!

Just as the jujube-red-faced man was about to catch up with Ma Gu and cut him down, a piercing whistling sound arose.

A sense of extreme danger emerged abruptly in his heart, causing a sharp pain as if his heart was contracting.

The jujube-red-faced man was greatly startled. Without any time to react, the instinct honed through countless battles and refinements compelled him to raise his war saber vertically to shield his brow.

Bang!

A loud noise reverberated, and the jujube-red-faced man’s whole body shook violently. Not only did his forward momentum come to a complete halt, but he also staggered backward several steps before barely managing to stabilize his stance.

Once he steadied himself, he looked at the war saber in his hand, a look of horror in his eyes.

The wide blade, for which he had paid a great price to acquire, was now bent and misshapen.

At the point of bending, a clump of exploded stone powder stuck to it, almost piercing through the saber.

“Elder Hong!”

The other disciples of the Flowing Cloud Sect cried out in alarm.

“Not bad, being able to block my pebble.”

Lu Qing was a bit surprised to see the jujube-red-faced man block the attack.

“Brother Lu Qing, this red-faced guy’s saber technique is really fierce; I’m no match for him.”

Ma Gu, who had landed safely with a somersault, lamented.

At that moment, his hands gripping the saber were trembling slightly, and blood oozed from his tiger’s mouth—the result of being injured during the clash.

“It’s normal for you not to be his match, Brother Ma, since he is a grandmaster with great success in the Internal Organs Realm and has a very high level of mastery in saber techniques,” Lu Qing said with a smile.

In fact, if it wasn’t for Ma Gu’s Mountain and Sea Blade, personally taught by Wei Shanhai, a grandmaster of the Innate Realm, he probably wouldn’t even be able to block a single strike from his opponent.

“Who exactly are you, and why have you picked a quarrel with our Flowing Cloud Sect?”

The jujube-red-faced man suppressed the tumultuous Qi-Blood within his body and looked at Lu Qing with a face full of shock.

At this point, how could he not realize that he had misjudged earlier?

The man before him was not some weakling at the Qi-Blood Realm but rather someone pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger—a master who was concealing his true strength.

To be able to destroy his Thousand Refinement Treasure Blade with a mere pebble and shake his Qi-Blood to the point of nearly dispersing it…

Such a master would be at least a Martial Arts Grandmaster or an even higher unparalleled martial artist—not someone they could afford to provoke right now.

Recalling the attitude Lu Qing and Ma Gu had shown earlier when they mentioned their sect, the jujube-red-faced man inwardly groaned.

It seemed that this mysterious person had a strong dislike for their Flowing Cloud Sect.

“Flowing Cloud Sect? I thought you truly didn’t care about your Young Sect Master, but your response has been rather slow, only appearing now.”

Lu Qing looked indifferently at the jujube-red-faced man, a cold light glinting in his eyes as he read the title above the man’s head.

“Your Excellency knows our Young Sect Master?”

The jujube-red-faced man put on a look of surprise, but inside, he felt a chill run down his spine.

Because he knew that their Young Sect Master was dead, a fact expressly revealed by the Supreme Elder.

These people now bringing up the young Sect Master… could it mean…

“I do know of him, yet just a few days ago, I slaughtered him.”

“Run for your lives!”

Hearing these words, the man with the date-red face felt a chill surge in his heart and immediately shouted at the top of his lungs.

At the same time, his body rapidly retreated.

The other disciples of the Flowing Cloud Sect were still in shock, but the next moment, they only heard successive hissing noises as one after another, they felt a pain in their foreheads and lost consciousness.

The date-red-faced man kept an eye on the movements behind him as he fled.

Seeing his disciples being shot down one by one by that young man with his terrifyingly lethal pebble hidden weapons, his heart trembled with fear.

Biting his teeth, his aura suddenly surged, and his speed of escape drastically increased.

He did not hesitate to consume his Primordial Qi, employing an explosive secret technique to begin his escape.

At the same time, he cursed inwardly, as this stretch of the official road was surrounded by farmland on both sides, without a single grove of trees, making it impossible for him to hide his figure. He had no choice but to flee in a straight line.

In this instant, the date-red-faced man was filled with regret.

He should have never volunteered to come out in search of the young Sect Master.

He couldn’t have imagined that simply picking a direction at random would lead to a collision with someone as deadly as Lu Qing!

Bang!

The date-red-faced man was fleeing at top speed when suddenly, he felt a pain in both legs, unable to exert any strength, and his entire body lost balance, tumbling forward.

Even bracing himself with his hands, he could not stabilize and rolled across the official road like a tumbleweed.

“So you’re not running anymore?”

A detached voice sounded as Lu Qing’s figure appeared.

“Your hidden weapon skills are unparalleled. I am in awe.”

The date-red-faced man glanced at the fallen disciples of the Flowing Cloud Sect behind Lu Qing, then at his own leg bones shattered by a rock, he laughed miserably and looked toward Lu Qing.

“However, there is one thing I do not understand, and I hope you can enlighten me so that I can die with my eyes closed.”

“What is it?” Lu Qing looked down at him.

“Who exactly are you, and what deep hatred do you have with our Flowing Cloud Sect? Why did you kill our young Sect Master, and why did you attack us so mercilessly upon seeing us?”

“Don’t make yourself out to be so innocent,” Lu Qing said indifferently, “Were you not the ones who struck first? If we had been ordinary people, wouldn’t those whips you pulled out have resulted in a smashed car and dead bodies, at the very least?”

The man with the date-red face fell silent.

“In the end, you are nothing but a bunch of bullies who prey on the weak, so stop acting so pitiful,” Lu Qing said mockingly, “What I’m doing isn’t that the survival of the fittest you espouse?”

The date-red-faced man’s complexion turned white, unable to find words to respond.

“As for your question about our grudge against the Flowing Cloud Sect, strictly speaking, we have no grievance with the Flowing Cloud Sect.”

The date-red-faced man’s expression brightened for a moment.

However, before he could truly rejoice, Lu Qing’s next words stiffened his face once more.

“It’s just that your young Sect Master, along with some disciples of the Flowing Cloud Sect, committed unforgivable crimes in a small town. By chance, we encountered them and simply decided to slaughter them.”

“Sir, that was just the personal actions of the young Sect Master and others, and has nothing to do with our Flowing Cloud Sect. If I had been there at the time, I would have definitely stopped the young Sect Master!

Our Flowing Cloud Sect is a Righteous Sect, and we would never tolerate any violation of the Righteous Path…”

The date-red-faced man hurriedly defended.

Although he was unclear on what the young Sect Master and others had done in that small town to anger this mysterious expert so much.

But he knew that he must dispel Lu Qing’s intention to kill, or else he would undoubtedly die.

“A Righteous Sect?” Lu Qing’s lips curled up with a hint of scorn, “Hong Houyi, do you still remember how your sister-in-law died?”

“How do you…” The date-red-faced man trembled all over, his eyes suddenly widening.

“Your parents died early, and your brother and sister-in-law struggled to raise you. Yet, you lusted after her, and when you failed to defile her, you strangled her to death. Even your drunken brother was cut down, correct?”

“Who exactly are you, and how could you know about this?!”

Several decades of the biggest secret hidden in his heart were suddenly exposed; the date-red-faced man could no longer contain himself and screamed hysterically.

“I am one who has been entrusted by your brother and sister-in-law to claim your life!”

Lu Qing’s face suddenly revealed a strange expression.
