I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 556

Chapter 556: Stunning sword light, Lu Qing’s acting skills, and the wind beast in the Yuanshen realm!

“What happened back there?”

The moment Lu Qing’s flying sword flew out, the armored man and others at the front of the convoy, struggling to fend off the wind beasts, sensed it and turned sharply.

There was nothing they could do. The sword intent Lu Qing unleashed was too astonishing. They

were forced to divert their attention to investigate what had happened.

Then, they witnessed an unbelievable scene.

A dazzling sword light, at unimaginable speed, pierced the heart of a wind beast.

Almost immediately, as the sword light touched the wind beast, it exploded.

Even those with higher cultivation, like the armored man, sensed a faint glow at the wind beast’s heart, about to dissipate along with it.

However, just as that light was about to dissipate, Lu Qing’s sword light arrived first, striking the spot of light.

Immediately, an unstoppable burst of power utterly destroyed the light before it could dissipate, utterly obliterated by the sword intent contained within the sword light.

As the light point vanished, the wind beast, its body already largely disintegrated, suddenly froze.

The sand that made up its body didn’t fly across the sky as before, merging into the endless swirling sand.

Instead, it scattered with a bang, falling to the ground, carried about by the fierce wind, completely devoid of its previous agility.

“The wind beast’s wind orb is destroyed?!”

This change didn’t go unnoticed by the armored man.

His eyes widened, and he exclaimed in disbelief.

Even he couldn’t completely destroy the wind orb while simultaneously blasting the wind beast apart.

After all, the wind orb, the wind beast’s life core, was condensed from the laws of wind.

Not only could it gather and disperse without form, it was also extremely difficult to destroy.

Even a powerful cultivator in the late Jindan stage would find such a feat exceedingly difficult.

And how could this seemingly unremarkable young man, whose cultivation level was only at the first level of the lower Jindan stage, possess such power?

“Success?”

Seeing that the wind beast, pierced and dissipated by Lu Qing’s flying sword, hadn’t re-condensed, both Old Man Qiao and the middle-aged man were ecstatic.

“Just one more!”

Lu Qing waved his hand, and the flying sword transformed into a stream of light, returning to his position.

“Old Man Qiao, I can barely muster one more attack. You guys prepare, and see if we can take out the remaining wind beast!”

“I can still muster one more attack!”

Old Man Qiao and the middle-aged man were both surprised and delighted upon hearing this.

They were surprised that Lu Qing could actually summon one more attack, despite such a terrifying blow.

They were also delighted that if they could eliminate the remaining wind beast, their pressure would be greatly reduced.

Energized, Old Man Qiao and the middle-aged man began to work together to suppress the remaining wind beast.

Originally, Old Man Qiao could handle one wind beast by himself,

but now, with the middle-aged man, they completely suppressed the remaining wind beast.

After several dozen breaths, Lu Qing’s voice rang out again, “Master Qiao, it’s done!”

Old Man Qiao had been prepared. Upon hearing Lu Qing’s words, he unleashed another burst of power, blasting the suppressed wind beast a foot away.

Almost instantly, Lu Qing’s sword light arrived.

This time, however, his flying sword pierced not the wind beast’s heart, but its head!

The sword flashed blindingly. A flash of white light appeared from its skull the moment the wind beast exploded.

Before it could dissipate, it was struck by Lu Qing’s flying sword.

The powerful sword energy blasted through the air, instantly destroying the flash.

Instantly, the wind beast roared and trembled.

The yellow sand that formed its massive body began to fall like a waterfall.

Lu Qing had temporarily slain the remaining wind beast!

“Did it work?”

Old Man Wang and the middle-aged man were shocked.

However, they remained cautious and watched the front vigilantly.

After a long while, they saw that neither wind beast had reappeared.

The two men finally confirmed that the wind orbs of the two wind beasts had truly been destroyed by Lu Qing.

Immediately, they looked at Lu Qing with eyes filled with immense admiration.

“Fellow Daoist, you’re truly remarkable! You’ve truly vanquished these wind beasts!”

“It took both of you to work together, otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to locate and destroy them with such precision.”

Lu Qing’s face paled slightly, his aura weakening considerably. He smiled faintly.

“That’s not true. The wind beasts’ wind orbs are constantly shifting and never stay in one place.

Fellow Daoist, you were able to sense their location the moment they exploded—truly remarkable,”

Old Man Qiao exclaimed in amazement.

“Senior, you’re too kind.”

Old Man Qiao didn’t seem to mind his own compliments.

He knew quite a bit about wind beasts.

The reason they were so formidable was because, as long as their wind orbs remained intact, they could reassemble themselves, no matter how many times they were torn apart, remaining immortal.

And destroying a wind beast’s wind orb was incredibly difficult.

Not only was the wind bead invisible, it would dissipate as the wind beast’s body dispersed and merge into the raging wind.

It was also condensed by the power of the wind law. Even if ordinary attacks could find its location, it would be difficult to cause damage.

Furthermore, while within a wind beast’s body, the wind bead is never fixed in one location.

Instead, it constantly shifts with the wind and sand that composes the beast’s body, allowing it to appear anywhere within the beast’s body.

In other words, to completely defeat a wind beast,

one must not only accurately locate the wind bead at the moment of collapse,

but also possess sufficient strength to destroy it.

This is why Old Man Qiao had previously stated that only a peak-level late Jindan cultivator,

one who has condensed a top-grade Jindan, could completely defeat these wind beasts.

And now, Lu Qing, who was only at the first Jindan level, had seized the opportunity to destroy the wind bead.

Although he had the assistance of the two of them, Old Man Qiao still found it incredible.

“Sure enough, my initial impression was correct. This young man is truly no ordinary Jindan!”

Old Man Qiao thought to himself.

How could an ordinary first-level Jindan cultivator possess such keen spiritual perception and breathtaking sword control?

This seemingly ordinary young man must have a very extraordinary background.

Maybe they are from a big sect, or maybe they are disciples from a big family who came out to gain experience.

“Mr. Qiao, have you dealt with the two wind beasts at the back?”

Just as Mr. Qiao was amazed, a voice from the armored man in front of the convoy came.

“Yes, the wind beads of the two wind beasts at the back have long been destroyed by this young man, and they are temporarily unable to condense their bodies.”

Mr. Qiao replied.

“Very good!”

Hearing Mr. Qiao’s affirmative answer, the armored man was overjoyed.

Although he didn’t know how Mr. Qiao and the other two cooperated to kill the two wind beasts,

this news was undoubtedly great news for them now.

He hurriedly said, “Can you ask that fellow Taoist to help kill the three wind beasts at the front as well?”

Old Man Qiao looked at Lu Qing, who sat cross-legged on the top of the carriage, his face pale , eyes closed as he steadied his breath.

He shook his head, “I’m afraid it won’t work for now. This young man has been using killing moves continuously, which has consumed a lot of energy .   I’m afraid he won’t be able to use his flying sword again for the time being.”

“So that’s the case.” The armored man was slightly disappointed upon hearing this.   However, this was within his expectations.   After all, Lu Qing’s cultivation level wasn’t high, only at the first stage of the Golden Core stage. The fact that he could unleash such powerful sword radiance   was already quite astonishing.   He believed that he might have also used some forbidden technique that was detrimental to his health.   So it was understandable that he couldn’t activate that powerful sword radiance.   Seeing that things were hopeless, the armored man turned and said, “Then please, fellow Taoist, take your breath and recover first. I have a healing elixir here, the [Hundred Yuan Rejuvenation Pill].   Old Man Qiao can have the young Taoist take it; it should help him recover quickly.”   Then Old Man Qiao saw a jade bottle, enveloped in a ball of magical energy, flying towards him.   ”Hundred Yuan Rejuvenation Pill?”   Old Man Qiao took the pill, a hint of surprise on his face.   This was a top-grade healing pill of the Golden Core grade. On the market, one would fetch at least a thousand lower-grade spirit stones, and often it was in short supply.   The armored man had invested heavily in such a elixir.   Old Man Qiao opened the jade bottle and saw a wisp of medicinal fragrance wafting from it.   He only took a whiff and felt that his depleted mana had been restored.   He immediately knew that this pill was indeed real.   He poured the pill out and wrapped it with his mana to prevent its medicinal power from dissipating. He   said to Lu Qing, “My friend, the commander-in-chief sent me a healing pill. Would you like to take it?”   Lu Qing opened his eyes and his gaze fell on the pill in Old Man Qiao’s hand.   ”This elixir is called the Hundred Yuan Rejuvenation Pill. It’s a top-grade golden elixir for healing. It has the miraculous effect of bringing the dead back to life, turning bones into flesh, and rapidly restoring mana and physical strength.   After you take it, you should be able to quickly recover and recover,”   Old Man Qiao explained quickly.   Lu Qing nodded slightly. He   then opened his mouth, sucked the pill from Old Man Qiao’s hand, and swallowed it in one gulp.   He naturally understood why the armored man had sent him the pill .   It was simply to hope that he could recover quickly so they could help them eliminate the remaining three wind beasts.   In fact, with his level of cultivation, the armored man’s telepathic communication hadn’t been hidden from him.   His hesitation was merely a test of the pill using his supernatural powers.   Seeing that it was fine,   he swallowed it with confidence. This was exactly what the armored man was planning.   He was just wondering what excuse he could use to quickly recover.   His previous behavior had already been quite extraordinary.   Therefore, he had to be restrained and feign weakness to avert suspicion.   Now that he had the [Hundred Yuan Rejuvenation Pill], he could appear to be recovering quickly.   Lu Qing knew that the five wind beasts besieging them were nothing; the real danger had been lurking nearby, watching them.   Seeing Lu Qing’s aura gradually recover shortly after swallowing the pill, Old Man Qiao and the others felt relieved.   They didn’t remain idle any longer, immediately summoning their magical weapons and flying to the front of the convoy to help the armored man and his men fend off the remaining three wind beasts.   With the assistance of two Jindan-level masters, the armored man and his men’s pressure was greatly reduced.   They pushed the three wind beasts in front back   , often crushing them before they could fully form.   This significantly increased their overall speed.   Unfortunately, the armored man and his men had also tried to emulate Lu Qing’s earlier move:   finding the wind beads and destroying the wind beasts as they exploded.   However, after several attempts, they realized it was simply impossible.   Not to mention the wind beads’ erratic movement within the wind beasts, constantly shifting positions without stopping for a moment.   This made it impossible for them to accurately capture the wind beads’ location at the moment of the wind beasts’ explosion.   Even if they managed to catch the wind beads disappear once or twice,   they found that their attacks were simply unable to concentrate their power to destroy the wind beads, condensed from the laws of wind.   After repeated attempts failed, they finally understood the sheer difficulty of destroying the wind beads.   While they were astonished by Lu Qing’s strength, they also realized that   only after the mysterious young man recovered would they have any hope of completely defeating the remaining three wind beasts.   Fortunately, with the addition of Old Man Qiao and the middle-aged man, the tide began to turn in the caravan’s favor.   While the armored man and his men couldn’t completely defeat the three wind beasts, the beasts could no longer hinder their advance.   As time passed, the caravan inched closer to the valley.   In half an hour at most, they would enter the valley and escape this deadlock.   Hope lies ahead. Although the armored men were already quite exhausted, their eyes were brighter.   What made them even more excited was that at this time, Lu Qing’s voice also sounded from behind.   ”Seniors, my injuries have recovered.”   ”Okay, fellow Taoists, please help us kill these three wind beasts!

“I will be your carrier when the time comes, and I will definitely reward you handsomely!”

The armored man shouted immediately.

“Yes, senior!”

Lu Qing said politely, but

he felt helpless in his heart. In fact, he didn’t want to recover so quickly, and thought it would be fine to just drag it on until everyone retreated back to the valley.

But perhaps because he saw that they were about to escape, the existence that had been hiding nearby and watching seemed to be unable to bear it. This

forced Lu Qing to wake up in time.

Lu Qing sat cross-legged on the top of the carriage and summoned his flying sword. On the surface, he was concentrating his sword intent and preparing to strike.

In fact, his mind had been secretly sensing the movements of the existence hidden in the dark.

“Here it comes!”

Lu Qing’s mind suddenly moved.

“Daoyou, are you ready? “

On the other side, the armored man saw Lu Qing still motionless and couldn’t help but shout.

Then the next moment, his mouth couldn’t help but widen.

In front of them, endless wind and sand suddenly gathered, forming a huge tornado that reached straight into the sky.

When the tornado disappeared, a terrifying monster over a hundred feet tall, made entirely of yellow sand, appeared before them.

Feeling the boundless power emanating from the terrifying monster.

And the three Jindan-level wind beasts had stopped attacking them and instead knelt at the monster’s feet, paying homage.

Everyone’s mouths opened wide, their eyes revealing immense fear.

Even the armored man with the most powerful cultivation was filled with fear.

His eyes were full of disbelief, and he stammered, “Yuan, Yuanshen-level wind beast?”
