Reversed God Refining!

And it was an absolute kill duel against a Refining God Powerhouse without any assistance, the value of this battle was incredibly high.

Especially the power that erupted from that final sword strike, who among the present Refining God Powerhouses, besides Lu Qing, could dare say they are certain to withstand Wang Junze's sword?!

Even the Deserters, who are known for their formidable physiques, wouldn't dare take that sword head-on!

This in itself meant that Wang Junze truly possessed the combat strength of a Refining God, and a very strong one at that.

If it was previously said that Wang Junze was a Sword Path Genius because of his potential, then after this sword strike, the title of a genius was fully deserved.

Reversing Upper Realm itself is the harshest standard to measure a genius.

And for these Deserters, the only good news was that this time Wang Junze was truly exhausted.

No one could be fooled by Wang Junze's current state. Although he hadn't suffered any serious injuries, his face was extremely pale, and if not for his tempered physique, he would have a hard time even standing now.

However, this is normal.

Otherwise, if Wang Junze could continue fighting with all his might after assassinating a Refining God Powerhouse, that would be truly terrifying.

"Kill him, don't bother with other members of Cloud Mirror Sect, at any cost, eliminate this boy!"

The leader of the Deserters, who was fighting Lu Qing, suddenly shouted harshly.

Wang Junze's performance was too stunning, completely sparking the Deserters' killing intent. One could even say that from some perspective, everyone in Cloud Mirror Sect combined wasn't as important as Wang Junze. As long as they killed Wang Junze, it would be worth even abandoning this Cloud Mirror Sect operation.

Upon hearing this, Lu Qing's expression finally changed slightly.

To be honest, when Wang Junze was previously fighting Yang Weidong, Lu Qing wasn't worried at all. After the encounters from previous days, no one knew better than him how resilient Wang Junze truly was. But now, Wang Junze was clearly exhausted and genuinely in danger.

With almost no hesitation, Lu Qing's figure flickered as he abandoned the three Deserters in front of him and hurriedly rushed towards Wang Junze.

In Lu Qing's view, the lives of everyone in Cloud Mirror Sect together weren't as important as Wang Junze.

Besides, before coming to Cloud Mirror Sect this time, Su Yuwei had reminded him that if there was any danger, he must prioritize ensuring Wang Junze's safety. He couldn't let anything happen to Wang Junze under any circumstances.

"Brother Lu, be careful!"

At almost the moment Lu Qing rushed toward him, Wang Junze felt a sudden premonition of danger.

Something was wrong!

If the Deserters truly wanted to kill him, they shouldn't have given any warning but instead taken the opportunity to strike a fatal blow, completing the kill before Lu Qing could react.

Suddenly ordering the other Deserters to assault him was, in a way, alerting Lu Qing to come and save him?

Unless, the real target wasn't him at all, but... Lu Qing!

In a flash, Wang Junze understood everything. Without time to explain, he opened his mouth to warn.

Unfortunately... it was still too late!

At the moment Lu Qing turned around, a figure suddenly accelerated, viciously swinging a blade toward Lu Qing's back!

And the one who struck wasn't a Deserter at all, but the... Sect Leader of Cloud Mirror Sect!

This sudden change happened too quickly and completely exceeded everyone's expectations. Even Wang Junze, who had sensed danger, hadn't anticipated that the assailant would be the Sect Leader of Cloud Mirror Sect.

In mid-air, Lu Qing also instinctively sensed danger and accelerated his body, forcibly shifting himself an inch sideways at an incredible speed!

Lu Qing's strength and adaptability were top-notch, and even during this completely unexpected ambush, he reacted. Although it was just an inch, that inch was enough to decide life and death!

"Puff!"

The blade pierced flesh, instantly stabbing through Lu Qing's back. However, due to that crucial inch, it avoided hitting the heart's vital spot. This strike, although injuring a lung and severely wounding Lu Qing, ultimately failed to kill him outright!

"Cloud Mirror Sect dares to betray the race?"

Spitting out blood, Lu Qing landed in front of Wang Junze, turning around suddenly, with eyes full of furious astonishment, glaring at the Sect Leader of Cloud Mirror Sect!

"Sect Leader?!"

In fact, at that moment, not only Lu Qing and Wang Junze, but everyone in Cloud Mirror Sect, both elders and disciples, were dumbfounded!

Yang Weidong's collusion with the Deserters was surprising enough, but he was just an elder of Cloud Mirror Sect and couldn't represent the entirety of Cloud Mirror Sect. However, who would have thought that the Sect Leader himself would betray the Human Race and collude with the Deserters!

"Surprised? Lord Lu, I've been waiting for this opportunity for a long time!"

With a mocking expression, the Sect Leader of Cloud Mirror Sect sneered, "If we hadn't caught you off guard, even if everyone joined forces, we probably wouldn't be able to keep you, Lord Lu. As for now... even if we haven't managed to kill you directly, do you still have the ability to escape?"

Lu Qing's strength was indeed formidable; below Heaven-Stepping, nearly invincible. Unless a genius of the same realm took action, regardless of how many people joined forces, defeating Lu Qing was not difficult, but killing him was extremely challenging.

Cloud Mirror Sect, though situated in the Northern Domain, was powerful, but there was no powerhouse there capable of defeating Lu Qing. As for the Deserters, their geniuses wouldn't easily dare venture into the Human Race's territory.

If the Sect Leader of Cloud Mirror Sect had joined forces with the Deserters from the start, Lu Qing, even if outmatched, could have retreated easily, possibly taking Wang Junze with him out of danger; it wouldn't be too difficult a task.

This confidence was why Lu Qing dared bring Wang Junze to Cloud Mirror Sect.

Previously, even with Yang Weidong's collusion with the Deserters and the emergence of so many Deserter experts, Lu Qing wasn't worried.

Just as he sensed Wang Junze was in danger, he could easily overpower the three Deserter experts in front of him and remained wary of the other surrounding Deserters. It's fair to say that even if other Deserters suddenly attacked, they wouldn't have been able to harm Lu Qing at all.

But, the one who attacked was the completely unexpected Sect Leader of Cloud Mirror Sect, which is why the ambush succeeded!

Even if not for Wang Junze's warning, had Lu Qing reacted just a bit slower, it wouldn't have been just a severe injury but outright death.

Even now, with Lu Qing severely injured, extricating himself from such a siege appears almost impossible, not to mention taking Wang Junze with him.

It's no exaggeration to say that this single strike was enough to push Lu Qing and Wang Junze into a desperate situation.

Compared to Yang Weidong, this Sect Leader of Cloud Mirror Sect was the true pivotal figure in this killing setup!
