I Can See Through Everything-Chapter 278
Chapter 278
Not only were the people at the foot of the mountain utterly shocked, but even the few beauties who had been competing on the Heavenly Ladder were in disbelief.
"Li Fairy, did you see the appearance of that person just now?"
"It seemed to be a young boy."
"A young boy, climbing the Heavenly Ladder so effortlessly—how is that possible?"
"Could it be some old monster who likes to disguise as a youth?"
"Even if it is an old monster, the Heavenly Ladder shouldn't be so insignificant to them."
"Could it be another peerless genius from some secret land?"
...
While everyone was speculating about Lu Qing's identity, Lu Qing had already left the Heavenly Ladder and arrived at the other side of the Sacred Mountain.
Lin Zhirui had once told him the approximate location of the Sacred Pool.
According to the Tianji Tower Master's words, the master was encountered by the people from the Suspended Mountain right after leaving the Sacred Pool, which meant it should be nearby.
"If something happens to my master, you bald donkeys of Suspended Mountain will accompany him to the grave along with your entire secret realm!"
Lu Qing's eyes were filled with coldness, his body emitting a faint yellow light as he quickly moved across the Sacred Mountain.
The suppressive force of the Sacred Mountain seemed nonexistent to him.
"My guess was correct—the so-called pressure on this Sacred Mountain is actually the power of the geomagnetic force.
For others, the mountain's pressure is a burden, but for someone like me who possesses the Earth Spirit Bead, it’s actually an aid!"
Back when Lin Zhirui introduced the Sacred Mountain, Lu Qing had already suspected the nature of the suppressive force.
Now, after personally ascending the mountain, his suspicions were further confirmed.
This gave him even more confidence in rescuing his master.
"Hmm?"
While Lu Qing was calculating in his mind, he suddenly sensed a fluctuation ahead that caught his attention.
More importantly, he felt his master's presence.
At the same time, an anxious voice reached his ears.
"Masters, please show mercy. This Elder Chen is a distinguished guest of Tianji Tower. We cannot afford any mishap."
"That's Sir Zhirui's voice!"
Lu Qing's eyes sharpened, knowing he had finally arrived.
His body flashed with light as he increased his speed, quickly passing through a forest and arriving at a wide open space.
The open space was paved with stones.
On this ground, seven bald monks in red robes were arranged in a peculiar formation, surrounding a figure sitting cross-legged.
Many others were watching nearby.
Besides the other bald monks, there were also several powerful figures, including some disciples from the Yunshui Secret Realm whom Lu Qing had encountered two days ago.
In the center of the formation surrounded by the seven bald monks, a golden alms bowl emitting yellow light was suspended in midair.
Below the alms bowl, a figure dressed in coarse clothing was sitting cross-legged with eyes closed, face flushed, and body trembling. It was none other than the old doctor.
"Master!"
The sight filled Lu Qing with rage.
How could he not see that his master was reaching his limit?
In his fury, Lu Qing didn't even think, nor did he have time to use his abilities to probe for information.
He directly took out a bow and arrow from the Spatial Qi Bag, drawing the bow to its full.
In the next moment, a violent whistling sound echoed as seven arrows shot through the air, splitting into seven directions, aiming directly at the heads of the seven bald monks.
Using the Seven Stars in a Row technique, Lu Qing released the arrows without hesitation, immediately stowing the bow away.
Following that, a long blade appeared in his hand as he swiftly charged forward.
Ding, ding, ding...
All of this happened in an instant.
The arrows shot from Lu Qing's treasured bow were incredibly fast.
In the blink of an eye, they were already above the heads of the monks.
Seeing that the monks were about to have their heads pierced by the arrows, a golden light screen suddenly appeared, blocking the arrows.
The seven arrows shot by Lu Qing were stopped by the layer of golden light as if they had hit metal.
Although the golden light rippled, the seven arrows were firmly blocked, unable to advance any further.
"Who dares!"
This unexpected change caught everyone off guard.
The monks standing guard nearby were especially shocked. They never expected someone to dare to ambush the elders.
At this moment, everyone noticed Lu Qing's presence.
There was no way to miss him; the aura he was exuding was simply too terrifying.
Even a blind person could feel the fearsome energy emanating from him.
"Lu Xiaolangjun?!"
Lin Zhirui was stunned when he recognized Lu Qing.
"Halt!"
On the other side, several young monks leaped out to intercept Lu Qing upon discovering him.
"Anyone who blocks me dies!"
Seeing someone dare to block his way—especially monks—Lu Qing, in his fury, swung his long blade, slicing through the air toward them.
This strike, fueled by Lu Qing's anger, unleashed a killing intent that spread in all directions.
Everyone who felt this killing intent, even Precelestial Realm experts, couldn't help but freeze, let alone the young monks who were still in the Postnatal Realm.
Overwhelmed by Lu Qing's killing intent, their minds went blank.
With cold eyes, Lu Qing didn't pause as he swept his blade across, intending to cut down the young monks before him.
"Amitabha, benefactor, please show mercy."
Just as Lu Qing's blade was about to slice through the young monks, a loud Buddhist chant rang out. The protective golden light around the seven monks suddenly expanded, enveloping the young monks within it.
Clang!
Lu Qing's long blade struck the golden light without holding back.
This strike was far more powerful than the previous seven arrows.
Although the protective golden light was sturdy, it was still insufficient against Lu Qing's strength.
It trembled violently, showing signs of collapsing.
"Hmm?"
The monk leading the formation saw the golden light showing signs of breaking and slightly opened his eyes. A surge of powerful mental energy poured out, flowing into the golden alms bowl.
The golden light, which had been on the verge of shattering, began to stabilize once more.
"You think you can stabilize the array again without my permission?"
Lu Qing thrust his long blade into the grass beside him, reached into his robe, and pulled out a pair of steel gloves.
Roar!
In the next instant, a massive roar erupted from Lu Qing's body, as if an ancient fierce tiger had awakened within him.
Accompanied by a heart-stopping howl, Lu Qing twisted his waist and threw a punch. Under his immense strength, the punch struck the golden light with terrifying force.
As the punch landed, the air around Lu Qing exploded, releasing layers of white mist.
The golden light of the formation could no longer hold, shattering under Lu Qing's punch!
"Not good!"
The seven monks maintaining the formation were shocked. They never expected Lu Qing to break the golden light of the Vajra Subduing Demons Array with his bare hands.
Their minds surged with energy, trying to reactivate the alms bowl, but it was too late.
With the formation's light shattered, the old doctor at the center of the array, who had been showing signs of pain, suddenly looked calm, his face returning to normal.
"Not good, retreat quickly!"
As the old doctor opened his eyes, the monks were overwhelmed by a sense of dread. They immediately abandoned the alms bowl and retreated rapidly.
In the next moment, countless sword qis materialized in the air around the old doctor, forming a storm of sword qi that swept outward, engulfing the spot where the seven monks had been sitting.
The sword qi raged for more than ten breaths before gradually subsiding.
When the sword qi dissipated, revealing the old doctor's figure, everyone couldn't help but gasp.
Around the old doctor, within a radius of several feet, everything except the spot where he was sitting had been shredded by the sword qi.
The entire ground was covered in countless sword marks and a thick layer of stone dust.
It was clear that if the monks hadn't retreated, they would have been ground to dust by the sword qi, leaving no trace of their bodies.
"A sword qi domain—someone has actually cultivated such a Precelestial Domain?"
A well-informed person couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice.
"Master, are you alright?"
Lu Qing was far enough from the old doctor's position to avoid being affected by the sword qi.
Seeing his master unleash such a terrifying storm of sword qi, he relaxed and asked.
Everyone turned to look and was stunned again.
They saw that Lu Qing was holding a young monk by the throat.
It turned out that while the seven monks had been avoiding the master's sword qi, Lu Qing had taken the initiative to capture one of the young monks.
"Hui Xin!"
The monks were shocked to see this.
"You insolent brat, release Hui Xin!"
One of the monks, seeing the young monk in Lu Qing's grasp turning red and struggling to breathe, was furious and was about to attack Lu Qing.
But in the next moment, a sharp sword qi swept past him, forcing him to halt.
Turning around, he saw that the old doctor had opened his eyes, his gaze clear.
"Masters, it is truly unbecoming of you to claim this was a medical discussion when you secretly used a strange treasure to assault me, attempting to confine my spirit. What explanation do you intend to give for this?"
Recalling the previous events, the old doctor still felt a chill.
Earlier, he had been trapped by the peculiar golden alms bowl, unable to sense the outside world.
He only felt as though he was in a golden space, surrounded by Buddhist chants that tried to hypnotize him,
urging him to convert.
Fortunately, his mind was strong and his will was firm; otherwise, he might have become a different person by now.
The thought of it made the old doctor's gaze turn cold.
Even though he was a mild-tempered man, he couldn't help but feel anger rising within him.
As a doctor, he knew all too well how terrifying it was for a person to lose their identity.
He had treated people with hysteria before, and those patients were pitifully tragic.
To think that he almost became like that filled the old doctor's heart with fury.
"Master, why waste words with them? Just kill them all!"
Lu Qing's gaze swept over the seven monks, silently reading the floating messages that appeared.

The killing intent in his heart grew stronger.
He realized that these bald donkeys were even more malicious than he had imagined.
"Master, save me!"
At this moment, the young monk in Lu Qing's grasp suddenly spoke with difficulty.
"Amitabha, this benefactor, please have mercy and release Hui Xin."
The leading monk clasped his hands together and said.
"Brat, release him immediately, or this old monk will send you to the afterlife!"
Another monk shouted angrily.
"Is that so?"
Lu Qing chuckled softly, but his hand twisted slightly.
With a crack, the young monk's neck twisted into an unnatural angle as his body convulsed in Lu Qing's hand, his life force slowly fading away.
