Chapter 303: Chapter 223: The Inverse Scale, Crushed by a Foot_2
But he quickly sensed something was amiss, “Not right, you’re here, what about Elder Hong?!”
“They are dead,” Ma Gu said coldly, “You must be that so-called Young Sect Master of the Flowing Cloud Sect, right? Let go of that girl in your hands, and perhaps we might let you suffer a bit less.”
Lu Qing ignored the effeminate youth’s words and focused his attention entirely on a man behind him, three steps back, who was short and stout but muscular with disproportionately long arms, resembling a gorilla.
The short, burly man felt Lu Qing’s gaze, lifted his eyelids, and gave him a cold look.
“What, Elder Hong is dead!”
The disciples of the Flowing Cloud Sect around Lu Qing were shocked to hear this.
After all, Elder Hong was one of the top three strongest in the Inner Organ Realm among them.
The strength of these people in front of them, able to kill him, must be extraordinary.
All the disciples of the Flowing Cloud Sect immediately looked at Lu Qing and his companions with heightened wariness.
Even that short, stout man appeared unmoved but somewhat surprised.
“Interesting.”
Hearing that Elder Hong and the others were already dead, the effeminate youth was shocked, but he quickly smirked again.

“So even Elder Hong fell at your hands; no wonder you dare to come here for a rescue, thinking you have something to rely on.”
“I just wonder what your reliance is, whether it’s you two green kids, or this old man, or the fellow with the knife… or perhaps…”
The effeminate youth scrutinized Lu Qing and his companions one by one, and when his gaze landed on Little Yan holding Little Li, his eyes suddenly shone with bright light.
“There is such a spirited and adorable girl in the world?”
The eyes of the effeminate youth, fixating on Little Yan, displayed a disturbingly lascivious glare.
The evil in that gaze scared Little Yan into hastily hiding behind Zhao Qianlin.
“You’ve done well, bringing such a fine girl; just hand her over to me, play nice, and perhaps I might consider forgiving you for challenging the Flowing Cloud Sect…”
Before the effeminate youth could finish speaking, a piercingly cold murderous intent suddenly filled the hall, making everyone’s body stiffen, chilling them to the bone.
Even the burly man was no exception.
“What did you just say?”
Lu Qing’s voice rose, brimming with deadly chill.
“Be cautious, Young Sect Master!”
The previously calm burly man, like a wasp stung on its tail, suddenly jumped up, guarding in front of the effeminate youth with raised palms, his face filled with caution, staring at Lu Qing.
At that moment, the effeminate youth regained his senses.
Despite being shocked by the intense killing intent Lu Qing could exude, seeing the burly man in front of him returned a sense of security to him.
Looking at Lu Qing, he unleashed a cruel smile: “I said, if you hand over that girl…”
Boom!
The effeminate youth was cut off mid-sentence, as the floorboards under Lu Qing’s feet burst apart; he lunged forward.
“Sir, let’s talk this over; the Young Sect Master didn’t mean that…”
The burly man, sensing the overwhelming aura unleashed by Lu Qing, was terrified and started shouting.
“Get lost!”
However, what answered him was Lu Qing who had already pounced forward, delivering an extremely fierce punch.
“This boxing?!”
Feeling the punch from Lu Qing, overwhelming like a collapsing pillar, the burly man’s heart trembled, and his eyelids twitched.
Despite not understanding how Lu Qing, who had earlier seemed to only have the strength of the Qi Blood Realm, could unleash such a terrifying force.
But the burly man knew it was too late to say anything now.
Lu Qing’s punch was too terrible; if he couldn’t catch it, not just him, but even the Young Sect Master behind him would be blown to death with one punch.
“Ah!!!”
At this critical moment of life and death, the burly man unleashed all his potential, his Qi-Blood bursting forth.
His already robust arms swelled in an instant, their color turning a deep red and doubling in size, acting like two iron gates dead set on shielding his front, securing every vital spot on his body.
His feet gripped the ground even more firmly, shattering the floorboards as they dug in deep, solidifying his stance in the strongest defensive posture to block Lu Qing’s formidable punch.
Seeing the odd transformation of the short and stocky man, Lu Qing’s expression remained unchanged, still stern.
Even, he couldn’t be bothered to change his move, and just like that, squarely, he smashed a punch onto the short and stocky man’s arms.
Under everyone’s gaze, Lu Qing’s fist, without any fanciness, collided with the arms of the short and stocky man.
Then, they saw.
When Lu Qing’s fist slammed into the arms of the short and stocky man.
Almost instantaneously, the short and stocky man’s arms twisted and deformed, completely broke and no longer could protect his open stance, as Lu Qing’s fist drove straight through, slamming into his chest.
Boom!
With a solid punch, Lu Qing’s power, without any reservation, erupted onto the body of the short and stocky man.
Because of their height difference, Lu Qing had used a downward force with this punch.
What resulted was that the short and stocky man was not blown away by the punch, but was firmly “nailed” in place.
Under the surging power unleashed, the spot where the short and stocky man stood sunk in directly, and the powerful shockwaves utterly ravaged the wooden floor of the entire tavern hall.
As for that short and stocky man, having endured Lu Qing’s terrifying punch, he was already beyond recognition, and had died completely, devoid of breath.
Silence, utter silence.
Everyone in the tavern, wide-eyed and horrified, stared at the scene.
Including Fang Tao and his disciples, who were completely stupefied.
They couldn’t believe that Lu Qing, filled with a murderous aura, resembling a demon, was the gentle and amicable youth who had been chatting and laughing with them in the past few days.
“Elder Qiu is dead?”
The effeminate young man, who had been thrown to the ground by the shockwave, dumbfoundedly looked at the deep pit, at the twisted corpse of the short and stocky man.
He couldn’t accept that Elder Qiu, who had the strength of a Martial Arts Grandmaster and ranked among the top five elders in the entire Flowing Cloud Sect, couldn’t even catch a single punch and was killed by that youngster.
Thump, thump, thump…
In the haunting silence, Lu Qing took steps toward the effeminate young man.
Standing before him, towering above, he looked down at him indifferently.
“Say that again, what were you planning to do just now?”
The effeminate young man shuddered back to his senses.
Looking at Lu Qing standing before him, feeling the dreadful killing intent emanating from him, he yelled loudly and hastily scrambled backwards.
“Someone, come quickly and protect me!”
“Sect Young Master!”
Several disciples of the Flowing Cloud Sect instinctively moved forward.
But the next moment, with a flick of Lu Qing’s fingers, a few hissing sounds later, those few disciples of the Flowing Cloud Sect had all been struck through the forehead, and slumped dead on the spot.
Such brutal methods instantly petrified the remaining disciples of the Flowing Cloud Sect, leaving them frozen in fear, not daring to move again.
Under the fearful gazes of numerous Flowing Cloud Sect disciples, Lu Qing continued walking towards the effeminate young man.
“Don’t kill me, don’t kill me, I am the Young Sect Master of the Flowing Cloud Sect, my father is the Sect Master of the Flowing Cloud Sect, my grandfather is the Supreme Elder of the Flowing Cloud Sect, if you dare to touch a hair on me, my grandfather will never let you off!”
As Lu Qing steadily approached, the effeminate young man, now cornered against the wall with no escape, screamed wildly.
His originally neat and luxurious clothes, from the earlier tumbling and scrambling, were already stained with blood and dust, disheveled and looking like a beggarly ghost.
Gone was any trace of his previous unrivaled, arrogant demeanor.
However, his threats couldn’t make Lu Qing pause even half a step.
Walking slowly up to the effeminate young man, Lu Qing looked at him coldly, slowly lifting his foot.
Feeling the killing intent radiating from Lu Qing, the effeminate young man knew that Lu Qing would not let him go.
His face revealed a look of deep resentment, staring fixedly at Lu Qing: “You lowborns dare to kill me?
My grandfather is an elder of the Innate Realm, if I die, not just you, but even your family members, your clan, and even everyone in this town, must be buried with me…”
Bang!
Amidst the cursing of the effeminate young man, Lu Qing stamped down, directly smashing his head into his chest, resulting in his instant death.
