I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 698

Chapter 698: The old doctor’s sword breaks the void and meets the old friend again

In his hometown, Cangzhou, amidst the Hundred Thousand Mountains, a hundred miles above Jiuli Village,

a figure radiating demonic energy stood in the clouds, a cruel expression on its face, staring in the direction of Jiuli Village.

“That village is that little bitch’s hometown?”

“I didn’t expect such a beautiful girl to be born in such a small village.”

“It just so happens that refining the Demonic Blood Soul Banner requires a large amount of blood from living creatures. I’m still short of my share, so I’ll use you to make up for it.”

“I wonder what that little bitch’s expression would be when she sees her loved ones transformed into blood souls?”

The Eagle Demon gazed at the mist-shrouded Jiuli Village, a demonic glint in his eyes.

Back in the Holy City, he had been severely injured by Xiaoyan’s flying sword, powered by the power of a formation. Over a year had passed, and although his injuries had healed

, every time he thought of it, hatred burned in his heart.

He had once been a powerful demon cultivator, feared by all in the cultivation world. When had he ever suffered such a great loss?

Being severely wounded and nearly killed by a single blow from a Jindan realm junior was a humiliation he would never be able to erase!

He had originally thought he would have to wait until he had mastered the Demonic Blood Soul Banner and broken the Holy Mountain’s formation before he could have a chance at revenge.

Unexpectedly, while collecting blood souls, he stumbled upon a piece of information:

the remote village ahead was actually Lu Xiaoyan’s hometown.

Upon learning this, the Eagle Demon was overjoyed.

He instantly conjured countless plans for revenge and rushed over without stopping.

“Don’t blame me, you ants! Blame yourselves for being associated with that little bitch.”

The Eagle Demon’s eyes shone with demonic light, transforming into a streak of black light as he flew down.

As the Eagle Demon flew towards Jiuli Village, in a small courtyard halfway up the mountain, the old doctor was playing chess with Wei Shanhai.

“Master Wei, are you saying that there’s been an evil demon raiding and cultivating demonic skills?”

the old doctor asked, twirling a chess piece, frowning.

“Indeed, and it’s said that the ones looting the living are the same four demons who besieged the Holy Mountain last year. Those four demons possessed terrifying cultivation, and no one could stop them. Wherever they passed, life was annihilated. It was a truly horrific tragedy.”

Wei Shanhai shook his head and sighed.

The old doctor, upon hearing this, fell silent.

He also knew about the events of the Holy Mountain last year.

Zhirui had later relayed the details, so he knew that it was Xiaoyan who, with the aid of Lu Qing’s formation, had driven the four demons back.

He also knew that those four demons were at least at the seventh level of the Golden Core, terrifying great demons, far superior to his current realm.

Furthermore, they were very likely surviving Yuanshen demons from the previous era of immortal cultivation.

As a result, even though the old doctor had the desire to exorcise the demons, he felt powerless.

“Old doctor…”

Wei Shanhai was about to say something when his expression suddenly changed and he looked upwards.

Then, he formed a sword with his fingers and pointed it toward the sky.

An incredibly sharp sword energy instantly parted the clouds and mist, soaring into the sky.

It slashed towards a terrifying figure emanating waves of demonic energy.

“Huh?”

Feeling the power of this sword energy, the Eagle Demon was somewhat surprised.

He extended a hand, shrouded in demonic energy, and slapped it directly at the sword energy.

Boom!

The powerful burst of energy shattered the old doctor’s sword energy.

However, the demonic energy in the Eagle Demon’s hand was also shattered, forcing him to pause.

“Interesting.”

The Eagle Demon hadn’t expected a master to lurk in this remote mountain village.

Although he knew that Lu Xiaoyan’s master seemed to be in the village, he didn’t really care. After all,

he had heard that he was just an old man over a hundred years old.

In other words, he was already very old before the spiritual energy revived.

How much potential could such an old man have? At most

, he would be considered a Foundation Establishment Realm.

Even a Golden Core Realm cultivator would be nothing to him, and he would be able to destroy them with a single blow.

But now, something unexpected had occurred.

From the sword energy just now, it was clear that the opponent was not only at the Jindan realm, but had already entered the middle Jindan realm.

“Demon, old doctor, be careful. This is one of the four demons we just mentioned!”

At this moment, Wei Shanhai took in the Eagle Demon’s appearance, his whole body trembling, and he cried out in shock.

“I know, Master Wei, please take cover. This demon is dangerous. I’m afraid I won’t be able to take care of you once a fight breaks out,”

the old doctor said solemnly.

Even if Wei Shanhai hadn’t said it, the old doctor knew from the terrifying and unusual demonic aura emanating from the Eagle Demon that it must be one of those legendary demons.

“Alright!”

Upon hearing this, Wei Shanhai immediately unleashed his skills and headed down the mountain.

He knew that with his strength, staying here would only burden the old doctor unnecessarily; it would be better to flee.

Over the years, Wei Shanhai hadn’t made much progress in his cultivation due to his limited aptitude.

But he had also entered the Foundation Establishment Stage, so his movement speed was not slow. In the blink of an eye, he had reached the foot of the mountain, his figure disappeared, and he entered the other courtyard.

“Ancestor, who is that?”

As soon as he entered the other courtyard, Wei Xinghe, Wei Zian and others surrounded him and asked hurriedly.

The previous exchange between the old doctor and the Eagle Demon had alarmed the villagers.

“It’s a demon looking for trouble. Don’t ask for now, let’s see what’s going on first.”

Wei Shanhai gazed towards the small courtyard halfway up the mountain, a look of worry on his face.

He hadn’t expected that just as he and the old doctor were discussing those demons, they would arrive directly at his door.

Recalling the recent terrifying rumors about those powerful demons, Wei Shanhai was deeply concerned, unsure if the old doctor could handle them.

The Eagle Demon didn’t seem to mind Wei Shanhai’s escape.

In his mind, these ants would all die; not a single one would escape.

The Eagle Demon’s gaze fell on the old doctor, a look of amusement in his eyes.

“I didn’t expect this small place to hide a mid-level Jindan cultivator. Are you the master of Lu Xiaoyan and Lu Qing?”

“Yes, I wonder what brings you to our remote village?”

The old doctor’s expression remained impassive, but his mind was already connected to the Qili Village formation.

Facing such a terrifying demon, even he had to be extremely vigilant.

“Old man, stop pretending. Since you already know my identity, you should know why I’m here.”

The Eagle Demon sneered.

“Lu Xiaoyan relies on the power of the formation. I can’t do anything to her for now, so I’ll take it out on you ants first. You are her master, so die first!”

With that, the Eagle Demon immediately transformed into a demonic hand and slammed it down.

He intended to shatter the old doctor and the entire hill together!

Feeling the power of the Eagle Demon’s palm, the old doctor knew that this battle was inevitable.

He took a deep breath, and through a telepathic connection, the Jiuli Village formation fully activated, its powerful force converging upon him.

Simultaneously, a flying sword appeared in his hand.

The next moment, a dazzling flash of sword light soared into the sky.

The sword light imbued the essence of water and fire, mutually reinforcing each other. In the instant of its strike, it transformed and cycled nine times, unleashing its might to its fullest.

Wherever the sword light passed, a tiny crack in space quietly appeared.

Swish!

The old doctor’s sword light slashed with such speed that even the

mere blink of an eye couldn’t describe it. In the blink of an eye, it struck the Eagle Demon’s demonic hand.

Then, before the Eagle Demon’s astonished gaze, his demonic hand barely held out for a tenth of a breath

before the sword light instantly shattered it. The sword light, unfazed, continued its swiftness as it slashed towards the Eagle Demon high in the sky.

The power of the old doctor’s sword completely surpassed the Eagle Demon’s expectations.

He had no time to react, as the sword light ripped through his flesh.

“A sword piercing the void? How is that even possible…”

The Eagle Demon’s body trembled violently, a look of disbelief in his eyes.

Then, his body slowly split, splitting in two, about to fall to either side.

Only then did the Eagle Demon finally react.

He let out a scream, and a bloody mist suddenly erupted from both sides of his body, transforming into two streaks of black light and escaping into the distance.

In the blink of an eye, he vanished without a trace, leaving even the old doctor unable to catch up.

In truth, the old doctor hadn’t considered pursuing him.

He hadn’t even imagined that the Eagle Demon would be cut in half by his sword.

After striking the blow, he had braced himself for defense, bracing for the Eagle Demon’s ensuing wrath.

But he hadn’t expected the demon to simply flee.

“Is this a deception?”

The old doctor remained mindful of the formation, sensing the surroundings.

He feared the Eagle Demon was pulling some trick, trying to confuse him.

“Old, old ancestor, am I seeing correctly? That demon was severely wounded by the old doctor’s sword, cut in half and fled?”

Inside the Wei family’s courtyard, Wei Zi’an watched, stunned and stammering.

However, Wei Shanhai couldn’t answer his question at this moment.

He was also completely shocked by the scene.

He had been worried about whether the old doctor could withstand the terrifying demon.

But with just a single blow, the demon was severely wounded and fled.

At this moment, Wei Shanhai couldn’t help but wonder if the demon was one of the four legendary demons.

“Wait here, I’ll go to the courtyard halfway up the mountain!”

After a long moment, Wei Shanhai finally regained his composure.

With this order, he immediately used his agility to exit the courtyard and head towards the small courtyard halfway up the mountain.

Once there, he saw the old doctor still standing, sword in hand, staring solemnly at the sky.

“Old Master Wei, why are you here?”

The old doctor was startled at the sight of Wei Shanhai approaching.

“I saw that demon had been severely injured by you, old doctor, and had escaped, so I came up to check,” Wei Shanhai said. “Old doctor, how did you do it? That demon was so powerful, yet you managed to injure him with just one sword strike.”

“I don’t know,” the old doctor shook his head. “That demon’s realm is indeed higher than mine, but for some reason, his strength isn’t as strong as I imagined.

However, my sword strike was also aided by the formation Ah Qing left behind; otherwise, it wouldn’t have been so powerful.

Perhaps the demon didn’t anticipate this, and was careless, allowing me to injure him.”

Wei Shanhai stared at the old doctor in a daze.

His intuition told him that the demon’s severe injury wasn’t simply due to carelessness.

But seeing the old doctor’s serious expression, he was at a loss for words.

…

Across the vast starry sky, a silver flying boat, like a streak of silver light, soared at a speed that even the most advanced spirits could be astonished.

It was the Void Flying Boat piloted by Lu Qing.

Another month had passed since leaving the Tianyuan Great World.

Over the course of a month, Lu Qing returned along the same route he had taken that year, without losing a single moment.

However, due to the power of the Void Flying Boat and Lu Qing’s cultivation level,

their return journey was vastly different from their original journey. Therefore, their speed was also dramatically different.

Although only a month had passed, they had already covered most of the distance they had taken.

Remember, it had taken Lu Qing and his companions five or six years to reach the Tianyuan Great World from their home world.

Now, in just a month, they had covered most of that distance. One can only imagine the sheer speed of the Void Flying Boat.

However, maintaining this extreme speed also consumed a significant amount of spirit stones.

After all, once the Void Flying Boat reaches a certain maximum speed, the energy required increases dramatically with each increase in speed.

The energy drawn from the Endless Void by the core alone is insufficient to sustain this enormous consumption.

Lu Qing still needed to constantly replenish it with spirit stones.

Fortunately, Lu Qing now possessed a vast trove of spirit stones; otherwise, he wouldn’t have dared to maintain such a high speed.

Of course, to maintain the top speed, Lu Qing also needs to pay close attention at all times and control the flying boat.

Otherwise, if the Void Flying Boat accidentally crashed into a meteorite or a small world, that would be a disaster.

Thinking that he would soon have to cross a vast expanse of spatial turbulence, Lu Qing slowed down, intending to calm his mind before continuing on his journey.

The Void Flying Boat sped through the starry sky at its normal speed, while Lu Qing slowly recovered his composure.

As for Xiao Li and Wu Xing, they had grown weary of the starry sky’s beauty back then.

So, not long after entering the starry sky, they had already gone into seclusion to cultivate.

Even Bai Jiao, after several days of flying the Void Flying Boat, gradually grew numb from his initial awe and curiosity. He

eventually followed Xiao Li and the others into seclusion.

Boom!

Lu Qing was recovering his composure, and half a day later, he suddenly felt the Void Flying Boat shake.

“Hmm?”

Lu Qing opened his eyes and saw a massive black, magical hand grasping the Void Flying Boat, attempting to seal it.

At the same time, a arrogant voice suddenly rang out: “Hahaha, kid, you escaped back then, but I didn’t expect you to dare to come back. In that case, don’t leave, stay here!”

“Is it him?”

Hearing this voice, Lu Qing was stunned at first, feeling a little familiar.

After thinking about it, he revealed a look of sudden realization.

He finally remembered the other party’s origins. (End of this chapter)
