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.
