I Can See Through Everything-Chapter 627

The headless corpse of the Supreme Elder of the Lanhai Sect plummeted from the sky.

Everyone stared blankly, their minds utterly blank.

Even the Nascent Soul cultivators were no exception.

No one had expected a battle between a Golden Core Realm cultivator and a Nascent Soul powerhouse to end like this— with the Nascent Soul expert’s head blasted apart, his soul annihilated, and his body dropping dead from the sky.

It was far too absurd. Too unbelievable. So much so that all they could do was stare, dazed, unsure if they had fallen into some kind of illusion.

Up in the sky, Lu Qing was just about to collect the Supreme Elder’s corpse when he felt resistance.

Just then, from the falling body, a flash of blue light erupted.

A water-blue shield burst out from the elder’s dantian, transforming into a stream of water that wrapped around the corpse and fled swiftly into the distance.

It was the Artifact Spirit of the spirit artifact shield, attempting to escape with its master’s body.

"Think you can escape?"

Lu Qing’s indifferent voice echoed.

As his voice fell, the shadow of an ancient cauldron appeared behind him, locking down the surrounding space.

Seizing the moment when the blue stream’s speed drastically slowed, the Li Huo Cauldron flew out. It expanded against the wind, and within breaths, it had grown as large as a small mountain.

The mouth of the cauldron opened wide and swallowed the blue stream and the Supreme Elder’s body whole, sealing them inside.

Though both were spirit artifacts of the same grade, the difference in power between one driven by a master and one left with only an Artifact Spirit was vast.

The water-blue shield was not low in grade—one of Lanhai Sect’s guardian artifacts, a mid-grade spirit artifact.

But now, with its master dead and only the Artifact Spirit remaining, it couldn’t unleash its full power.

What’s more, the Li Huo Cauldron was already at the peak of the mid-grade level, a cut above it in quality.

No matter how it struggled, it was effortlessly sealed away by Lu Qing.

Having finished, Lu Qing turned to face the Nascent Soul experts hovering high above.

"You old fossils… didn’t you say earlier I needed to hand over the fortunes I obtained in the mystic realm?"

As his calm voice spread out, the surrounding powerhouses finally snapped out of their stupor.

But what they felt next was an even stronger sense of unreality.

"Did I see that right? That kid actually killed a Nascent Soul expert?!"

"The Supreme Elder of Lanhai Sect, a genuine Nascent Soul cultivator who was trading blows with Ba Chunqiu just moments ago… and now he’s dead?!"

"Someone tell me this isn’t real! How could a Golden Core possibly defeat a Nascent Soul?"

"There’s no way—he must not really be at the Golden Core Realm!"

"Impossible! The Supreme Elder couldn’t have died so easily. This must be an illusion!"

"My master was a Nascent Soul expert… How could he die like this?!"

…

The entire sky was in an uproar.

The Golden Core cultivators who had just emerged from the mystic realm couldn’t believe what they were seeing.

Many even wondered if they were caught in some kind of illusion.

Especially the disciples of Lanhai Sect—they were on the verge of madness, utterly unwilling to accept what was happening before them.

"Did he really kill a Nascent Soul expert barehanded?"

Even Ba Tian, Shen Zangfeng, and the other peak Golden Core cultivators were dumbfounded.

None of them had expected Lu Qing to accomplish such a heaven-defying feat—to slay a Nascent Soul expert with his bare hands while still at the Golden Core Realm!

They simply couldn’t imagine how Lu Qing had done it.

It shattered everything they knew about cultivation.

"Fellow Daoist Chen… actually killed that Supreme Elder from Lanhai Sect?"

Qin Zheng, Ye Qingzhu, and the other disciples of Qiankun Sect all stood slack-jawed.

Just moments ago, they had been deeply worried for Lu Qing’s safety. But in the blink of an eye, he had killed a Nascent Soul expert outright.

They were thrilled… and stunned.

No wonder Fellow Daoist Chen had remained so calm. It turned out his true strength was terrifying—even capable of killing a Nascent Soul cultivator!

The Golden Core cultivators were shaken to their core, unable to believe it.

Even the Nascent Soul experts didn’t fare much better.

All of them stared at Lu Qing in shock.

Their cultivation levels and insight were far superior, and they had seen more than the others.

The burst of power Lu Qing had unleashed just now had left even them uneasy.

More importantly, even when he unleashed such strength, they didn’t sense the slightest trace of Nascent Soul aura from him.

What did that mean?

It meant Lu Qing was still only at the Golden Core Realm.

A mere Golden Core, yet capable of slaying a Nascent Soul expert.

How unbelievable.

Something like this hadn’t happened in the entire Tianyuan Great World for countless years.

And today, it had happened right before their very eyes.

Some of the Nascent Soul cultivators even began to feel a trace of fear.

The Supreme Elder of Lanhai Sect had entered the Nascent Soul Realm many years ago and had long since survived his first tribulation.

Among their number, he had always been considered one of the stronger ones.

Yet Lu Qing had killed him with a few punches.

Sure, part of the reason was that the Supreme Elder had underestimated his opponent.

Had he used all his strength and activated his artifacts from the start, he wouldn’t have fallen so quickly.

He hadn’t even had time to unleash his full power before his head was blasted apart.

But a loss was still a loss.

The fact that Lu Qing could kill the Supreme Elder meant he now posed a threat to them too.

Yet amid the shock, some of the Nascent Soul experts had strange glints in their eyes.

Lu Qing’s strength was too abnormal, making them suspect whether this was related to some fortune he had obtained in the mystic realm.

"So much for the so-called Righteous Path… all of you are just bullies who only pick on the weak."

Lu Qing hovered proudly in midair. Seeing the Nascent Soul cultivators fall silent, he sneered again.

His gaze fell upon the elder from Tianxuan Sect.

It was that old hypocrite who had been spouting high-minded words earlier, demanding Lu Qing hand over his fortune.

"Looks like we all misjudged you," the Tianxuan Elder said gravely, sensing Lu Qing’s gaze. "Who would’ve thought a junior like you possessed such strength?"

"But your methods are far too ruthless. Elder Qiu had only a minor dispute with you, yet you utterly destroyed his soul. Such cruelty hardly befits the Righteous Path."

"So what? Are you going to uphold justice for him?" Lu Qing replied flatly.

The Tianxuan Elder was immediately at a loss for words.

"Seems your so-called morality is nothing but lip service. Just more hypocrisy from a decrepit old fraud," Lu Qing mocked, his expression full of contempt. "Since you talk so grandly, why don’t I give you the chance to prove it?"

Before his words had even faded, Lu Qing’s figure vanished from where he stood.

At the same moment, the Tianxuan Elder felt a cold chill seep into his heart.

"Not good!"

The image of the Supreme Elder’s shattered head flashed through his mind. Without hesitation, he activated his spiritual sense, summoning countless sword-lights that formed into a sword formation around him.

Just as the formation took shape, a fist appeared before him—striking it head-on.

In that instant, the sword-lights exploded in all directions.
