I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 558

Chapter 558: Fierce Fighting, Recognizing Strength

“Roar!”

Lu Qing’s words weren’t just spoken; they were accompanied by a tremor in his soul.

Therefore, the Yuanshen Realm wind beast, despite its limited intelligence, understood.

It was instantly enraged.

A tiny ant dared to challenge it like this.

How could the mighty wind beast, king of this plain, tolerate this?

With a mighty roar, it exerted all its might, breaking free from the restraining force. Then,

with its fully reconstructed claws, it lashed out at Lu Qing with the force of a landslide or tsunami.

Simultaneously, it issued a command.

The three Jindan-level wind beasts beneath its feet roared, their bodies transforming into three streams of quicksand.

They pursued Old Man Qiao and his companions.

However, the Yuanshen Realm wind beasts were determined not to let Old Man Qiao and his companions go and were planning to send their minions to ambush them.

However, the surrounding area, dozens of miles in radius, was suppressed by Lu Qing’s spiritual weapon, and the violent winds dissipated.

The three Jindan-level wind beasts were unable to escape into the swirling sand, forcing them to transform into quicksand and pursue.

“Hmph!”

Before the three Jindan-level wind beasts could get far, a cold snort echoed.

A surge of yellow light instantly pinned the quicksand the three wind beasts had transformed into, immobilizing them.

Immediately, sword energy emerged from thin air, slashing at the three masses of quicksand.

Instantly, the three masses of quicksand trembled, their aura dissipating, pouring down like water into the ground.

The wind beads within their bodies had been completely destroyed, unable to maintain their form.

Only then did the mountain-like claws of the Yuanshen-level wind beasts, unleashing a fierce hurricane, swung towards Lu Qing.

Facing the massive claws that crashed down upon him like a mountain, Lu Qing neither dodged nor evaded.

He clenched his sword tightly, and in the next moment, he unleashed a stream of unparalleled sword energy.

With the force of a force that could shatter the heavens and earth, he struck the wind beast’s claws.

Boom!

Sword energy and claws collided, unleashing an instant burst of boundless power.

The destructive force between Lu Qing and the wind beast clashed, countless energies exploding, and space seemed to warp and deform.

The terrifying power spread out, and even Lu Qing’s domain could no longer suppress the surrounding space.

The powerful shockwave ignited a hurricane, and endless sandstorms reappeared, spreading in all directions.

In a blink of an eye, they were within a few miles of the armored man and his companions.

“No! Run!”

The armored man, Old Man Qiao, and the others saw this, their faces drastically changing. No

longer caring to watch the battle between Lu Qing and the wind beast,

they turned around and fled with all their might.

They could sense that if they didn’t flee, they would be swept away by the shockwave. While

they, at the Jindan realm, might survive, the others within the formation would certainly not be spared!

The shockwave unleashed by Lu Qing and the wind beast was incredibly fast, reaching the armored man and his companions in just a dozen breaths.

Fortunately, even while watching the battle, the armored man and his companions hadn’t stopped fleeing, having already escaped over ten miles.

Furthermore, Lu Qing’s domain’s suppression was gradually reducing the shockwave’s power.

Ultimately, the terrifying shockwave reached the armored man and his companions,

but it merely knocked them to the ground, causing little harm.

However, this still frightened the armored man and his companions terrified.

They sensed waves of terrifying power erupting from behind.

Clearly, the senior was locked in a fierce battle with the Spirit Realm wind beast, unleashing such terrifying power.

Unfortunately, the renewed dust and wind obscured their view, making it impossible to see behind them. All they

could sense was two terrifyingly powerful auras engaged in a fierce clash.

“Commander, we must continue forward. If the senior and the wind beast start moving, we might be caught in the crossfire,”

Old Man Qiao said.

“Of course I understand,” the armored man nodded.

He waited for the guards to regain their formation before continuing on his journey.

This time, they encountered no more resistance. After a while of running, the view suddenly cleared.

The swirling sandstorm had vanished.

Ahead, a vast valley entrance lay before them.

“We’ve finally escaped?”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then a look of ecstasy spread across their faces.

“Finally, we’ve escaped that damn place!”

“Oh my god, I thought I was really going to die this time.”

“This is a narrow escape! I’ve decided, after we return, I’ll never trade again!”

“If it weren’t for that senior’s intervention, we would have all died in there!”

…

Amidst the crowd’s weeping joy, the armored man led them into the valley. Once they were safe, he turned back to gaze towards the Gale Plains.

However, this place was quite far from the battle between Lu Qing and the Spirit Realm wind beast.

Furthermore, the endless sandstorm obstructed their senses, making it impossible for them to detect the aura of the battle between the two sides.

“Commander, are you worried about that senior?”

At this time, several Jindan realm warriors of Old Man Qiao also came over.

“That’s right, that senior said that he could only hold off the Yuanshen realm wind beast for a quarter of an hour at most. Now a quarter of an hour has passed, why hasn’t he come out yet?”

The armored man said with a worried look on his face.

“Don’t worry, Commander. With the magical power of that senior, even if he can’t defeat the Yuanshen realm wind beast, I think escaping shouldn’t be a problem.” Old Man Qiao comforted.

The armored man thought about it and felt that it was right.

It might be easy to defeat a Yuanshen realm warrior as long as the difference in strength is not too great, but it is still very difficult to kill the opponent.

Moreover, he recalled the scene of Lu Qing fighting with the Yuanshen realm wind beast before, and it didn’t look like he was going to be defeated at all.

Thinking of this, the armored man felt much more relieved.

He then asked, “Mr. Qiao, you’ve been traveling all the way here together. Do you know the origins of this senior?”

“How would I know?” Old Man Qiao gave a wry smile. “This senior is clearly hiding his identity.

He’s spoken very little during the time we’ve been traveling together.

Forget his identity or origins, I don’t even know his name.”

The middle-aged man beside him nodded in agreement.

Of the five Jindan realm masters in the same carriage, he and Lu Qing spoke the least.

Not only was he usually taciturn, he never introduced himself.

Therefore, everyone knew very little about him.

Only the skinny young man would occasionally mock Lu Qing.

Thinking of this, the middle-aged man suddenly felt that Lu Qing’s temper was quite good.

If it were him, as a powerful Yuanshen master, being offended by a Jindan realm master like this would make the other person pay the price.

He was also thankful that he had never offended Lu Qing before.

Otherwise, he really didn’t know how to face the senior master later.

“So that’s the case. It seems this senior must be one of those who likes to hide his identity and travel around.

I just don’t know which top sect or aristocratic family he comes from.”

The armored man couldn’t help but sigh.

As for whether Lu Qing was a member of the evil sect, he had never thought about it.

If Lu Qing were a member of the evil sect, how could he have risked such great danger to single-handedly confront a Spiritual Realm wind beast and rescue them?

Just as Old Man Qiao and the others were speculating on Lu Qing’s identity

, the battle between Lu Qing and the Spiritual Realm wind beast continued on the Windy Plains.

Boom!

Lu Qing, with a powerful Little Breaking Heaven Sword Qi, once again severed the Spiritual Realm wind beast’s arm.

His brow furrowed.

By this point in the battle, he had discovered

the truly low intelligence of this Spiritual Realm wind beast. It

only used the same few moves, relying entirely on instinct.

Not only were its techniques clumsy, but even its innate ability to control wind and sand was rudimentary.

Forget the Spiritual Realm, any late Jindan Realm warrior would likely possess far more refined techniques and Daoist techniques than this one.

To put it bluntly, while this wind beast possessed the power of a Spiritual Realm,

its application of that power was crude and rudimentary, never fully realizing its potential.

Yet, even with all his might, Lu Qing still couldn’t slay the wind beast.

The wind and sand body condensed by this Spirit Realm wind beast was far too formidable.

Even with his full power, he could only partially sever its body.

Completely destroying it in an instant was extremely difficult.

Destroying the wind bead was even more impossible.

He even used his [Bewitching Soul] ability once, hoping to destroy its spiritual power with a soul-destroying attack.

However, he discovered that while the wind beast’s intelligence was low and its mind simple,

its entire mind and will were hidden within the wind bead within its body.

Protected by the laws of wind, his [Bewitching Soul] ability could only temporarily confuse its mind.

Controlling its soul proved exceedingly difficult.

“I can’t believe a newly conceived Spirit Realm demon beast with such low intelligence can be so formidable.”

He slashed and shattered the wind beast’s other claw.

Watching it recover so quickly, Lu Qing felt helpless.

He understood that there was no point in continuing this battle.

If even the [Bewitching] ability hadn’t worked, then other methods were even less likely to be effective.

The Wind Beast’s indestructible Wind Orb possessed an indestructible quality.

No matter how many times he shattered the opponent’s claws, he could still quickly recover.

He, on the other hand, was effectively expending his own mana in battle.

While possessing a Perfect Golden Core, his mana far surpassed that of cultivators of the same realm

, continuing the battle offered him no advantage.

After all, his goal in this battle had already been achieved.

Further battle would be futile.

With this in mind, Lu Qing unleashed two piercing sword energies, drawing the Wind Beast towards him. After severing the two claws that were intended to trap him, he

twisted his body, tracing a mysterious arc in mid-air, and in an instant, he was completely out of the Wind Beast’s reach.

“You beast, you have a tough skin and flesh, and are quite resilient,”

Lu Qing said calmly, hovering several miles away from the Wind Beast.

“Today, I can’t do anything to you. When I’ve achieved success in my cultivation, I’ll definitely return to this Gale Plain to meet you.”

With that, his figure flashed, and he was already far away.

“Roar!”

The Spiritual Realm wind beast, seeing this ant, which had killed several of its followers and slashed its body multiple times, attempting to escape, roared with immense rage.

With a roar, it lashed out with its claws, and the wind and sand within a radius of dozens of miles suddenly became extremely violent.

Dozens of wind and sand swirls appeared at Lu Qing’s cycle, threatening to crush him to pieces.

“With your rudimentary sand control techniques, you think you can block my path?”

Lu Qing looked at the apocalyptic scene around him, but he wasn’t the least bit alarmed.

Instead, he chuckled. Then, like a wisp of smoke, like a nimble psionic butterfly, he slipped effortlessly through the gaps between the wind and sand swirls.

The raging sand and wind around him had no effect on his agility.

“Roar!”

Seeing Lu Qing escape the swirling sandstorm, it vanished in the blink of an eye.

The Spiritual Realm wind beast let out a resounding roar.

The surrounding sandstorms grew even more violent.

Even its own body dissipated, blending into the endless swirling sand as it pursued Lu Qing.

However, it was all in vain.

Even after reaching the edge of the Gale Plain, it still couldn’t see Lu Qing.

Gazing at the lush, endless mountain ranges beyond the Gale Plains in the distance,

the Spiritual Realm wind beast knew the ant had completely escaped.

Once again, furious roars echoed across the Gale Plains.

“It seems even a Spiritual Realm wind beast can’t outrun the Gale Plains’ speed,”

Lu Qing thought to himself as he heard the roar from within the mountains.

He was now in a secluded cave.

Beside him, a giant python trembled as it watched him, not daring to move.

Lu Qing ignored the creature. After setting up a concealing formation at the cave entrance, he released Xiao Li and Wu Xing from the Qiankun Yiqi Bag.

“Ah Qing!” Xiao Li, dressed in gray, immediately shouted upon emerging. “Did you defeat that giant?”

Previously, in the Windy Plains, Xiao Li had been hidden in Lu Qing’s arms.

It was only after the appearance of the Spiritual Realm Wind Beast that Lu Qing placed it in the Qiankun Yiqi Bag.

This prevented Xiao Li from witnessing the final battle.

“No,” Lu Qing shook his head. “The Spiritual Realm is truly formidable. Although that wind beast was clumsy, neither of us could defeat the other.”

“Even you couldn’t defeat that giant wind beast?”

Xiao Li was stunned.

In his mind, Lu Qing had always been incredibly powerful, with few foes unbeatable. He

hadn’t expected the giant creature to be so clumsy, yet even Ah Qing couldn’t defeat it.

“Yes, the Soul Realm is still the Soul Realm after all. With my current strength, I’m still a long way from defeating a mighty Soul Realm being.”

Lu Qing sighed.

The reason he was willing to take action on the Windy Plains wasn’t

just because he didn’t want to see the caravan die there.

More importantly, he wanted to test his own strength with the Soul Realm wind beast.

The results showed that even now, having reached the fifth stage of the Golden Core Realm, he

was still far from being able to fight against a being at the Soul Realm level.

The Soul Realm wind beast had low intelligence and clumsy moves, and even hadn’t fully mastered its innate abilities.

Among Soul Realm beings, it was probably at the very bottom of the heap.

Even so, he was still powerless, unable to inflict any real damage.

It was obvious that if he were to face those cultivators at the True Soul Realm who had cultivated for countless years and had mastered all their magic and supernatural powers,

he wouldn’t stand a chance.
