I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 589

Chapter 589: Taoism weakened, crushed

The burly man, clearly intent on achieving his goal with a single strike, unleashed his long sword, unleashing a powerful surge of energy, slashing at the men ahead with lightning speed.

“Not good!”

the man who had taunted the man earlier faltered, but fortunately, he had been prepared and quickly summoned a magic weapon to block the blow.

Boom!

The two magic weapons collided, unleashing a violent explosion that sent grass and debris flying and countless boulders hurling in all directions.

A vast crater appeared on the grassland, separating the two groups.

“Hahaha, Scar Liu, thank you for your help. We’ll be leaving now!”

The man in front roared with laughter, retracting his magic weapon. Seizing the opportunity, he didn’t care to conserve his mana, but instead, he swiftly activated his movements, his speed increasing dramatically.

His companions, understanding his intention, also increased their speed.

They knew this was a golden opportunity to escape the group behind them.

If they continued to conserve their mana, they would likely be pursued to the bitter end.

“Damn it!”

Scar Liu, utterly irritated, was practically fuming when his attack failed and, in fact, aided the enemy.

The strange looks from his companions only intensified his rage.

He instantly abandoned all else, his inner mana elixir surging into motion. A surge of mana erupted, and he soared into the air, transforming into a stream of light as he swiftly pursued the men ahead.

He no longer conserved his mana, enduring the tenfold increase in flight energy consumption, determined to catch up and capture the men ahead, avenging his humiliation.

“Brother Liu!”

This sudden and unexpected arrival startled his companions.

Since entering this strange secret realm, they had encountered numerous dangers, and their elixirs and spirit stones were nearly depleted.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have the nerve to commit such a heinous act.

This was also the reason they hadn’t dared to fly.

Simply put, flying in this haunted secret realm was incredibly mana-intensive.

With their Jindan realm strength, they’d already exhausted their mana after just a quarter of an hour or two of flight.

They were now running low on elixirs and spirit stones.

If they continued to deplete their mana, they would be truly doomed.

So, upon seeing Scar Liu’s sudden outburst, his companions, while surprised, hesitated and didn’t immediately follow.

It was this hesitation that plunged Scar Liu into an irretrievable predicament.

The men ahead were also initially startled when Scar Liu suddenly transformed into a stream of light and caught up.

But then they noticed that Scar Liu’s companions hadn’t followed.

The man who had taunted them earlier was suddenly overjoyed, a cruel look on his face.

“Scar Liu, you’re courting death yourself. Don’t blame us!”

Before he’d finished speaking, he too erupted with aura, his longswords emanating countless flashes of light, slashing towards him.

And his companions, like telepathy, erupted their Jindan in unison, unleashing a powerful attack on Scar Liu.

“How dare you!”

Scar Liu, having just caught up, was immediately overwhelmed by a multitude of sword flashes and auras, a mixture of shock and anger. He

was naturally furious that his companions hadn’t caught up.

He was also shocked that, despite being a notch above the others, he still struggled to withstand the simultaneous onslaught of several. Faced with

a life-or-death situation, Scar Liu no longer held back.

With his mind energized, his magical power surged forth, and he summoned a shield, transforming it into layers of light shields that blocked his path.

Boom!

Although Scar Liu’s shield was truly remarkable, a top-grade magical weapon, his most powerful trump card

, it still proved insufficient against the combined might of several slightly weaker warriors.

The shield’s layers of light, like glass, were easily shattered.

Then, the remaining sword flashes and auras struck the shield itself.

Under the ferocious onslaught, even a top-grade treasure could not withstand it. It barely lasted two breaths before its spiritual light dimmed.

With a crackling sound, it instantly shrank, retreating back into Scar Liu’s body.

Then, the remaining sword energy engulfed Scar Liu.

“Ah!”

Scar Liu screamed in agony. When the storm passed

, he fell to the ground, covered in horrific wounds, his life or death uncertain.

“Go!”

The man, not even bothering to check on Scar Liu, called out and continued his escape.

Their escape had already drained them considerably, and this outburst had drained even more of their mana. It was not appropriate to continue entangled here.

Moreover, a severely injured Scar Liu was far more useful than a dead one.

The latter could distract the others behind him, leaving them no time to care for them.

As expected, seeing Scar Liu lying on the ground, his breath weak, the remaining people looked at each other in bewilderment.

For a moment, they wondered whether to continue chasing or rescue Scar Liu first.

With just this hesitation, the men ahead had already fled a great distance, making it impossible to catch up with them by relying on their agility.

As for transforming into a stream of light, that would be extremely exhausting. Scar Liu’s previous experience was a lesson for them, yet no one wanted to be the first to do so.

Watching the men ahead flee further and further, one of them finally sighed, “Let’s rescue Brother Liu and then make plans.”

He had already decided not to pursue them.

“The two groups, the front few, are very united and coordinated, while the ones behind are a disorganized bunch, each with their own agenda.”

Lu Qing, who had been watching the battle ahead, concluded.

If the seven or eight people behind had also worked together, the ones in front would have never been able to escape.

“But, in this secret realm, has the power of ordinary Jindan realm cultivators been so severely weakened?”

Lu Qing had witnessed the previous battle.

Both sides were at the initial stage of Jindan cultivation, with Scar Liu being the highest, probably at the peak of the second stage of Jindan.

Yet, the clash of Jindan realm cultivators only created a large crater in the ground.

Such a powerful display was truly surprising.

After all, in the outside world, even a clash between Foundation Establishment realm cultivators would sometimes cause far more devastating damage than this.

As expected, without the resonance and amplification of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the Taoist magic of even Jindan realm masters was greatly weakened.

Seeing the men running towards him, Lu Qing landed on the ground.

Taoist Wubao is still regulating his breathing, and they cannot be disturbed.

When he flew into the sky just now, he had already cast a concealment talisman on himself.

So Scar Liu and others did not realize that there was someone observing them in the sky more than ten miles ahead.

“Hmm, there are people ahead. Could it be that Scar Liu and his men sent people to go around in front of us?”

Several people who were running were suddenly surprised to see a figure suddenly appear in front of them. They

thought it was Scar Liu’s men who took a detour and rushed in front of them to ambush them.

But when they looked carefully, they found that they were wrong.

The person in front was a young man they had never seen before, and his aura was not strong, much weaker than theirs.

Next to him, there was a fat Taoist who was sitting cross-legged and regulating his breathing.

It seemed that the young man was protecting him.

“The Taoist is regulating his breathing, which means he has spirit stones on him?”

The leading man, upon seeing this, suddenly had an idea.

He then telegraphed his companions, “Brothers, these two aren’t very strong, but they appear to have spirit stones on them. Why not kill them?”

The companions, naturally, also noticed the Five Treasures Taoist practicing his breathing exercises, and even saw the spirit stones he held.

Their spirits instantly perked up, their eyes lit up with greed.

In this strange secret realm, spirit stones and elixirs that restore cultivation are the most precious treasures.

In this realm, where spiritual energy is so scarce, only these two things can sustain their strength.

Otherwise, once their mana is depleted, they would be powerless against the formidable monsters within.

So, as soon as the leading man proposed, the others agreed.

“Alright, kill these two! This will replenish our spirit stones and elixirs!”

“Attack together!”

“We must kill them with one strike!”

Their minds communicated with incredible speed, and in a flash, they reached a consensus.

The next moment, they all unleashed their ultimate attacks, sweeping towards Lu Qing and the Five Treasures Taoist.

“Hmm?”

Lu Qing had been considering asking these men about the situation within this secret realm.

He hadn’t expected them to suddenly attack him.

And their first strike was a killing move, destined to utterly annihilate him and the Five Treasures Taoist.

“So, seeing a lone cultivator, they’re going to rob them?”

Seeing the murderous intent in their eyes, Lu Qing instantly understood what was going on.

Although these men were being hunted, they weren’t exactly forgiving either.

They would also rob cultivators weaker than themselves.

Understanding this, Lu Qing’s gaze grew colder.

Facing the incoming attack, he gently raised his hand, and a field of yellow light instantly expanded, enveloping the area for several miles.

Instantly, the sword energy, blade power, and Taoist magic were all pinned down before him, unable to advance an inch.

The next moment, they all exploded, completely vanishing, as if they had never appeared.

“What?!!”

This scene nearly made the men’s eyes pop out.

At the same time, a powerful fear gripped their hearts.

Seeing Lu Qing, with a single wave of his hand, freeze all their ultimate moves, allowing them to dispel them at will,

they understood they had hit a wall, provoking an unimaginably powerful being.

“Run!”

the leading man roared, simultaneously unleashing all the magical energy within his body, attempting to transform into a stream of light and escape.

In this moment of utter terror, he had no time to conserve his mana. He

simply wanted to flee as far as he could, with all his might.

The other companions did the same, unleashing their magical energy in an attempt to flee.

However, just as they were about to transform into streams of light, they felt an incredibly powerful force descend upon them.

No matter how hard they unleashed their magical energy, they could not break free; even moving was impossible.

“Senior, spare my life!”

The men were unaware that they were being suppressed by Lu Qing.

Terrified, they immediately begged Lu Qing for mercy.

Even the man with the strongest cultivation level was no exception, his eyes filled with pleading.

But Lu Qing turned a deaf ear to their pleas.

His gaze condensed, and he raised his hand, gently clenching it.

Then, the leading man witnessed a scene that filled him with immense horror.

He saw his brothers tremble slightly, then, without warning, explode into balls of bloody mist.

“Ah!!”

Seeing his companions crushed into a bloody mist,

the man’s eyes suddenly widened, and an immense chill swept through his body and mind, and he couldn’t help but scream in horror.

The look he gave Lu Qing was as if he were looking at a terrifying demon, filled with fear.

But the next moment, his cry stopped abruptly,

as a wave of spiritual energy had already landed between his eyebrows, entering his eyebrow acupoint.

Countless illusions overwhelmed him, instantly drowning him in them.

“What happened?”

Over ten miles away, the seven or eight figures who had just resuscitated Scar Liu were startled by the sudden burst of energy ahead.

“It’s the aura of those who escaped earlier. Who are they fighting?” someone shouted.

“This is our chance! Hurry up and intercept them!”

Scar Liu, who had just woken up, also sensed the aura and shouted.

The others glanced at each other and then set off, rushing forward.

They had hesitated before and let those men go, wondering how they would explain to Scar Liu.

Now that they still had a chance, they couldn’t let it go.

Using their agility, they tracked the aura they had sensed. After chasing for over ten miles, they encountered a surprising sight.

The leader of the group who had escaped earlier stood there, stunned, his eyes blank and his face expressionless.

Before him stood a young man, holding a strange spirit beast in his arms.

Not far away, a fat Taoist priest closed his eyes and meditated.

As for the man’s companions, they had vanished, their whereabouts unknown.

“What’s going on?”

For a moment, the slightly bizarre situation filled everyone with confusion.

“You guys are here too! It’s great! It saves me the trouble of looking for you!”

Lu Qing said calmly, seeing the men chasing after

him. As he finished speaking, a flash of yellow light appeared, and the men were horrified to find that an invisible and incredibly powerful sealing force had descended upon them,

pinning them to the ground. No matter how hard they struggled, they could not break free.

It was clear to everyone that they had encountered a terrifying powerhouse far superior to their own.

“Senior, we have no intention of offending you. Please forgive us.”

“Senior, we simply sensed the aura fluctuations here and came to check on the situation. We had no intention of offending you. Please spare us!”

“We don’t even know that man. Please understand!”

Immediately, everyone begged for mercy.

“Shut up!”

Lu Qing’s cold voice rang out.
