I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 474

Chapter 474: Arrogant and conceited, Netherworld Ghost Claw, Lu Qing appears

Inside the Holy City, Meng Dian felt the constant gazes of those around him.

Initially, he felt immense pressure.

But as his own cultivation techniques began to circulate, and the vibrations from a treasure within his body emanated,

a dark aura, imperceptible to others

, emerged from his eyes. A surge of hostility suddenly rose within him.

His body trembled, and his aura erupted once more, even more violent than before.

“Senior First Saint Lord, what a cunning scheme!

What a profound calculation! You claim to prioritize the lives of the people above all else

. In the final analysis, you’re simply attempting to imprison all cultivators with some kind of ban to maintain the rule of your Holy Mountain!

For over a thousand years, the world has been controlled by your Holy Mountain.

Under your tyranny, all those in the Innate Realm have been bound, their minds locked in bondage.

Now, at last, the world is undergoing a transformation, and spiritual energy is reviving.

This is the perfect time for cultivators like us to cultivate freely and achieve a breakthrough.

Yet, you three old fellows still wish to constrain us.

If our Guiyuan Sect were to accede to your terms, wouldn’t we be aiding and abetting the evil?

Today, on behalf of all our fellow cultivators, we will completely break free from the control of you three old fellows!

Even if your Holy Mountain refuses, you must relinquish this position of leadership of the righteous path!”

Meng Dian radiated a furious aura, his gaze stern as he fixed his gaze on the First Saint Lord and his companions.

The next moment, a gray light materialized from his hand and blasted directly towards the three Saint Lords!

“What?!”

Everyone was shocked.

No one expected Meng Dian to suddenly attack.

And judging by the might of the gray light, it was clearly no longer a test of strength, but a complete killing move!

“Huh?”

Even the First Saint Lord and his three companions were surprised.

They seemed to have not expected Meng Dian, who had just been in a dilemma, to actually engage in direct combat.

However, although Meng Dian’s attack was very sudden, almost a sneak attack,

the three Saint Lords reacted quickly.

Almost the moment the gray light was emitted, the First Saint Lord had already pinched his magic formula and cast a khaki light curtain in front of the three of them.

Just as the khaki light curtain appeared, the gray light had already crashed into it.

In an instant, the yellow light curtain shook violently, and cracks appeared.

It was actually showing signs of being unable to withstand the gray light.

Seeing this, the Third Saint Lord’s eyes fixed, and he unsheathed the long sword at his waist, slashing out a sharp sword light, which landed on the gray light.

Boom!

The sword light and the gray light collided, unleashing a powerful burst of energy that caused the surrounding atmosphere to explode, stirring up a violent whirlwind above the stone platform.

Fortunately, the massive stone platform was protected by the power of a mysterious formation.

Otherwise, the impact alone would have likely shattered the platform, sending rocks flying everywhere.

This scene shocked everyone once again.

The Jindan realm cultivators narrowed their eyes simultaneously.

Meng Dian’s attack actually required the simultaneous attacks of two Saint Lords to resist.

Was his method truly so powerful, or were the three Saint Lords’ Dharma Bodies simply too weak?

“Fellow Daoist Meng, it seems you’re going to break free from reason?”

The third Saint Lord’s gaze hardened.

“Haha, reason? Reason is what matters!

You three old monsters, you’ve held this world hostage for long enough. It’s time you ceded your place!

If you don’t understand, I’ll destroy these three worthless Dharma Bodies and see if you can ever leave the Holy Mountain again!”

Having barely managed to withstand the two Saint Lords with a single flash of gray light, Meng Dian’s confidence surged.

Their expressions grew increasingly arrogant.

“Destroy our Dharma bodies? If you have the guts, then go ahead!”

The Third Saint Lord was a man of unyielding character, and upon hearing Meng Dian’s words, he could no longer restrain himself.

The sword energy within him also began to grow icy, and streams of cold air appeared around him.

“Hmph! Refusing to accept a toast, then drinking a forfeit! Old fellows, your time is over. Die!”

Seeing the three old men still so stubborn, Meng Dian

immediately stopped talking. He condensed another gray light in his hand and shot it forward.

However, this time, the gray light was much thicker than the previous one, and its power was many times greater.

Wherever it passed, even the air turned gray, forming a distinct trail.

“Well-timed!”

Seeing this, the Third Saint Lord showed no sign of weakness. He gathered all his sword energy and channeled it into the sword in his hand.

He slashed out with a dazzling sword light, meeting the gray light.

Wherever the sword light struck, a chilling aura permeated the air, demonstrating the extraordinary power of this sword.

But the next moment, the Third Saint Lord’s gaze changed. “How is that possible!”

His sword light instantly slashed through the gray light.

Unlike the previous collision, this time, his sword light failed to extinguish the gray light.

Instead, it was rapidly devoured by the gray light, dissolving at a speed almost visible to the n*ked eye.

Then, the gray light, which had consumed and dissipated the sword light, grew even larger and continued to pounce on the Third Saint Lord.

Just as it was about to strike the Third Saint Lord, a khaki curtain of light emerged, enveloping him.

Simultaneously, a green light descended upon the gray light.

It was the First and Second Saint Lords, seeing the situation was dire, and intervened.

With a swish ,

the green light met the gray light, like ice water falling into a cauldron of boiling oil, instantly boiling.

Just like the Third Saint Lord’s sword light, it was swiftly dissipated.

However, despite dissolving the green light, the gray light didn’t grow any stronger this time; instead, it shrank by half.

It finally landed on the khaki curtain of light, creating cracks in it as well, but ultimately being blocked.

This scene nearly made every expert present gape in shock.

Even the Jindan realm masters were no exception.

They could already tell that

the power of the Third Saint Lord’s sword strike was no less than their own.

In other words, even though he wasn’t appearing in his true form, the Third Saint Lord’s sword strike still reached the true Jindan realm.

Even the spells cast by the First and Second Saint Lords were equally extraordinary, also Jindan realm magic.

Yet, even with all three Saint Lords attacking simultaneously, they could only manage to block Meng Dian’s attack.

This outcome was beyond everyone’s expectations.

Even the Jindan realm masters gasped in shock.

What could that gray light possibly be? How could it possess such terrifying power?

And when had Meng Dian cultivated such a prowess?

“Great Elder, you are mighty!”

While the other sects were stunned, the Guiyuan Sect’s disciples cheered.

They had been terrified when the First Saint Lord’s words had controlled them.

They feared that if the Great Elder mishandled the situation, their Guiyuan Sect would be discredited and ridiculed by the world.

I didn’t expect the Great Elder to be so brave. With his own strength, he almost defeated the three great saints.

With such a powerful backer, what did they fear from the world’s ridicule?

I’m afraid that after today, the entire world will be in awe of the Guiyuan Sect!

“That gray light seems a little off!”

Amid the cheers of the Guiyuan Sect disciples, the white-haired old Taoist priest from Qingyang Temple shuddered and stared intently at Meng Dian.

The gray light Meng Dian had just unleashed made him feel a pang of fear.

It seemed like something extremely terrifying.

“Old fellow, I didn’t expect you had some tricks up your sleeve!”

Meng Dian was surprised to see his gray light blocked by the First Saint Lord and his companions.

But he quickly suppressed his surprise and sneered,

“But you think just blocking my attack is enough, don’t you?

That was just a warm-up. If you still refuse to change, don’t blame me for truly destroying your three Dharma bodies and annihilating your three original souls!”

As he finished speaking, Meng Dian’s body slowly floated up.

A thick gray aura emanated from him

, slowly forming a ferocious gray ghost claw in front of him.

As this ghost claw condensed, its terrifying power swept across the entire arena.

Not only did the other powerful warriors tremble in fear, nearly falling from

their feet under the overwhelming pressure. Even a Jindan realm warrior trembled, feeling a wave of palpitations welling up from deep within their hearts.

Jindan realm intuition told them that the gray ghost claw Meng Dian had condensed was enough to threaten their lives!

“Netherworld Ghost Claw?!!”

Upon seeing the gray ghost claw condensed by Meng Dian, the white-haired and beard-covered Taoist priest of Qingyang Temple lost his composure.

He suddenly stood up, staring intently at the gray ghost claw.

Because he finally recognized its origin!

“Why does this ghost claw look so much like the one described in the secret texts of our sect passed down by our ancestors?”

The Jindan realm warrior of the Yunshui Secret Realm also shuddered, staring at the gray ghost claw.

“This gray energy, and this claw, I think I’ve seen them in the secret texts of our Hanshui Palace.”

Back at Hanshui Palace, Han Lingshuang’s eyes were filled with similar contemplation.

The three secret places have a profound heritage. There are ancient books that have been passed down from ancient times, and they can see a hint of the origin of the method used by Meng Dian.

But others can’t recognize it.

Even the three saints don’t know the origin of the ghost claw.

But they can feel the horror of the ghost claw condensed by Meng Dian.

The breath that exudes makes people tremble.

It makes them feel that even if they come in real body, they may not be able to resist it.

“Old man, I ask you, are you willing to bow down and submit to our Guiyuan Sect?”

Meng Dian was suspended in the air, like an evil god, with evil aura all over.

“Meng Dian, you practice such evil magic, and you still want to become the leader of the righteous way. Has practicing evil magic damaged your brain?”

The third saint was not afraid at all, but laughed again.

“Haha, what’s the use of sorcery? As long as it’s power, there’s no distinction between good and evil!

Very well, you three old fellows, since you refuse to submit, then die!

Once I eliminate these three obstacles, I doubt anyone will dare to disobey my Guiyuan Sect!”

With that, Meng Dian activated his magical incantations, and the gray ghost claw before him suddenly grew dozens of times larger.

It transformed into a massive claw, tens of feet long, and descended towards the First Saint Lord and his companions.

As the claw descended, the gray energy within it transformed into countless skeletal evil spirits, writhing and transforming.

Just watching was enough to tremble with fear and utter terror.

Such power immediately sent shockwaves through the Jindan realm.

They immediately understood that the three Saint Lords were in danger.

Even with their true strength, they would be powerless to withstand the might of this massive ghost claw. Since

the three Saint Lords had only descended in their Dharma bodies, their chances of survival were even greater.

It seemed as if their Dharma bodies were about to be annihilated by the terrifying ghost claw.

At this moment, a perceptive Jindan realm cultivator suddenly noticed that the three Saint Lords’ faces showed no trace of panic.

Just as doubts were brewing within him, his gaze froze. Suddenly

, a figure appeared before the three Saint Lords.

It was a young man, standing with his hands behind his back, his expression impassive.

Facing the terrifying, gray ghost claw that obscured the sky, he softly uttered a single word.

“Stop.”

With those words, an incredible scene unfolded.

The terrifyingly powerful gray ghost claw suddenly froze in mid-air.

It was as if frozen in mid-air, unable to descend even a fraction.

Even the swirling gray energy within the claw was completely frozen, not a single movement.

What?!

Seeing this incredible scene, everyone was once again stunned, their eyes nearly popping out of their heads.

Only those at Hanshui Palace, upon seeing the young man, felt a shudder of relief, their hearts trembling.

Because they knew that with this person’s appearance, there was no need to worry about anything.

Han Lingshuang’s face was filled with surprise: “Shangzun!”

“That’s possible!”

Of all the people, the most surprised one was none other than Meng Dian.

He discovered that no matter how hard he urged it, the gray ghost claw in front of him remained motionless.

His mind-body connection remained intact, yet he couldn’t control the claw even a little.

His Jindan-level spiritual power was like a bug trying to pry open an endless mountain.

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t budge it even a little.

Even when he channeled his magical power and desperately activated the rare treasure within his body, nothing changed.

Who was that young man?

Meng Dian’s gaze fell on the plain-clothed youth standing before the three Holy Lords.

But the next moment, something even more horrifying occurred.

The youth’s lips moved slightly, uttering another word:

“Disperse.”

Then, in disbelief, he watched as his gray ghost claw began to twist and deform, then gradually fade away, finally dissipating completely.

With the mind-body connection spell broken, Meng Dian felt a sharp pain in his soul, his brow acupoint threatening to split.

His face suddenly turned pale.

Just this single blow had severely damaged his soul.

However, the excruciating pain in his soul couldn’t mask the shock in his heart.

Meng Dian, not caring about healing his wounds, stared intently at Lu Qing below him.

His mind raced as he began to speculate on the other party’s identity.

Then, the next moment, his eyes suddenly opened.

He saw the three Holy Lords bowing to the plain-clothed youth.
