Chapter 1046: Chapter 659: Sword Qi Transformation and Reward Redemption

The screams of Niji lasted for a full quarter of an hour before they stopped.

It’s not that Lu Qing was merciful, but that Niji couldn’t withstand the endless illusions created by Lu Qing’s use of the superpower "Mistaken".

Amidst boundless pain, the Divine Soul completely collapsed and was utterly obliterated.

Because the time in the Illusion Realm is different from reality.

Although only a quarter of an hour passed in reality, Niji’s Divine Soul had already been tortured for an unknowable amount of time in the Illusion Realm.

Ultimately, in the endless torment, Niji went completely insane, his Heart and Spirit shattered, his Divine Soul obliterated.

Looking at Niji, who no longer had a trace of Vitality Qi, Lu Qing’s gaze was calm as he collected the corpse.

Then he also took the head of the Black Heart Thieves’ leader from the ground and collected it as well.

Without saying a word or glancing back, he directly flew away.

All the disciples of the Ning Yuan Sect, including those several Supreme Elders at the late Golden Core stage, even though Lu Qing had withdrawn the power suppressing them, still didn’t dare to make any moves.

They only watched Lu Qing leave with eyes full of awe.

At this moment, they understood that this mysterious figure wearing the Ghost Face Mask must be a formidable figure above the Primordial Spirit Realm.

Facing such a figure, they couldn’t possibly resist; if they rebelled, the only outcome would likely be the destruction of their sect.

Therefore, only after Lu Qing’s silhouette disappeared did a disciple tremble and ask, "Supreme Elder, with the Sect Master passed, what should we do?"

The leading elder’s face did not look good.

The dignified Sect Master was tortured to death in public; if this matter spreads, no matter how it is spun, it will undoubtedly be a huge blow to their Ning Yuan Sect.

But what concerned him more was if what the man with the Ghost Face Mask said was true.

Was the Sect Master really involved with the Black Heart Thieves?

Instinctively, the elder was reluctant to believe this.

But thinking about the skull of Duan Xin, who had been missing for thirty years, that the mysterious man had brought out,

And linking it to some unusual behaviors of the Sect Master in recent years and their numerous failed attempts to eradicate the Black Heart Thieves,

The Black Heart Thieves always seemed to be able to foresee their actions, always able to take refuge in underground caverns just in time.

Involuntarily, the elder had a faint suspicion in his heart.

But this matter concerned the reputation of the Ning Yuan Sect, so naturally, he couldn’t speak openly in front of so many disciples.

Finally, he could only say, "This person’s background is mysterious, and we don’t know what grievances he has with our Ning Yuan Sect, but his strength is unfathomable, beyond what our Ning Yuan Sect can handle. I will report this matter to the Holy Alliance and let the Holy Alliance make a decision for our sect."

Hearing that the Supreme Elder had made a decision, all the disciples of the Ning Yuan Sect breathed a sigh of relief.

If the Holy Alliance could intervene, that would be the best outcome.

Although the Sect Master was killed, that person was just too terrifying. Even if they wanted revenge, they were powerless.

Seeing the disciples’ appearance, the elder knew that the entire sect was now completely intimidated by that mysterious man; he didn’t know the man’s origins or why he targeted their Ning Yuan Sect so specifically.

For a moment, a shadow loomed over the elder’s heart.

As for the thoughts of the remaining people in the Ning Yuan Sect, Lu Qing was not interested in knowing.

If he hadn’t learned during the torment of Niji that the Black Heart Thieves only obeyed him alone and the other Ning Yuan Sect disciples were unaware, he might have wiped out the entire sect.

During his flight, Lu Qing suddenly stopped, hovering high in the sky, gazing silently at the slowly sinking sunset on the horizon.

Little Li lay quietly on his shoulder, not speaking, quietly accompanying him.

After a long time, Little Li softly said, "Ah Qing, are you still unhappy?"

"No." Lu Qing shook his head, "The world is unfair, and the weak are slaughtered. I’ve long known this. We work so hard in cultivation to escape this fate.

But seeing the horrors in that underground cavern earlier, I was surprisingly enraged, filled with a desire to kill, and my Sword Qi’s power increased significantly. It’s somewhat unusual."

The Sword Qi that Lu Qing casually unleashed before was something that Niji, a Golden Core perfection strongman, had almost no resistance to.

This power was somewhat beyond Lu Qing’s expectations.

At the time, in his rage, he didn’t think much of it, but now recalling it, he felt something strange in his heart.

"I also felt that your killing intent was particularly strong this time, very strange!" Little Li quickly said.

For years, since even before Lu Qing began his cultivation, Little Li had been following him,

Having seen Lu Qing angry many times before, but this time, his killing intent was particularly heavy, making Little Li a bit worried.

"Something is wrong. Guard me for a moment while I find the reason."

Lu Qing summoned a cloud, sat cross-legged upon it, while Little Li earnestly stood guard beside him.

Concentrating, Lu Qing directly activated his superpower, using the state of Sudden Enlightenment to examine himself.

Soon, he found the reason.

"I see, so it’s the influence of the Little Sky Breaking Sword Qi..."

Indeed, after a series of investigations, Lu Qing pinpointed the cause of his increased killing intent.

It was precisely his frequent use of the Little Sky Breaking Sword Qi lately.

The Little Sky Breaking Sword Qi is what Lu Qing comprehended based on the Sky-breaking Sword Qi legacy left in his home world by the Potian Taoist more than ten thousand years ago.

Originally, the Sky-breaking Sword Qi was an advanced sword Dao legacy that could only be cultivated after reaching the Primordial Spirit Realm.
