I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 786

Chapter 785 Slaughter and Despair

“The fifth ancestor of the Gongshu family, actually died just like that?”

“A dignified Nascent Soul cultivator at the third tribulation, couldn’t even withstand a single sword strike?”

“Is this masked man really the one from back then?”

“Killing a Nascent Soul cultivator at the third tribulation with a single sword strike, just how powerful is this mysterious person!”

Seeing the fifth ancestor of the Gongshu family killed with a single sword strike and fall from the sky,

countless city dwellers were shocked, and the entire Zhou Tian City erupted in clamor.

That was the fifth ancestor of the Gongshu family, a powerful figure who had already passed three Nascent Soul tribulations, yet he was so easily killed?

“Fifth son…”

Seeing his fifth son killed with a single sword strike, the white-haired, youthful-faced old man trembled.

He knew this mysterious powerhouse who descended from the sky was up to no good, but he was still thinking about whether he could negotiate with him.

Now, seeing that the other party didn’t even say a word and killed one of his sons upon first meeting,

he immediately understood that this was not just a hostile visit, but a direct attack on the Gongshu family!

However, the white-haired, youthful-faced old man still dared not act rashly.

There was no way around it; the pressure from the masked figure before him was simply too immense.

From the moment the other appeared, his primordial spirit felt completely enveloped by the shadow of death. He

felt only utter darkness ahead, and the almost screaming warning of death made him feel suffocated.

Coupled with the terrifying sword energy he had witnessed earlier, capable of splitting a city in two

, he knew he was no match for the other.

More importantly, he had been secretly trying to activate the Zhou Tian Star Array from the beginning.

The result was disheartening to discover that the entire array was nearly paralyzed.

That earth-shattering sword energy had not only cleaved Zhou Tian City in two, but had also completely shattered the entire Zhou Tian Star Array, leaving it with less than a hundred percent of its power.

The other seemed to have an absolute grasp of the Zhou Tian Star Array’s condition; that single sword strike had directly destroyed many of the most crucial array nodes,

rendering their clan’s protective array practically useless.

It was for these reasons that even after his own son was killed, the white-haired, youthful-looking old man suppressed his hatred and did not make a move.

He stared intently at Lu Qing: “Who exactly are you? My Gongshu family should not have offended you, right? Is there some misunderstanding?”

At this point, the white-haired, youthful-looking old man had confirmed that the mysterious masked man before him was definitely not the petty thief from back then.

That petty thief was only at the Golden Core stage, and only managed to escape from his grasp by chance thanks to a powerful spatial treasure.

Even with exceptional talent, achieving the Nascent Soul stage at most would be remarkable, and being able to survive one or two Nascent Soul tribulations would make him an

unparalleled prodigy. It was impossible for him to possess such terrifying strength in just a few decades; that would be completely contrary to common sense!

The other Gongshu family ancestors also realized at this moment that the person before them could not possibly be the thief from back then.

This kind of strength was definitely not something that thief could possess!

However, Lu Qing did not bother to say anything more to him. He simply raised his wrist, and a cold light flashed as another sword aura was unleashed.

The sword energy remained incredibly fast, so fast that even those at the Nascent Soul stage couldn’t react in time.

Wherever the sword light passed, another Gongshu family patriarch froze, his brow pierced, his life force extinguished, and his body fell to the ground.

“Fourth brother!”

the remaining Gongshu family patriarchs roared again.

But before they could finish speaking, the sword light flashed again, and another Gongshu family patriarch’s voice was cut short as his head was also pierced, his Nascent Soul severed.

“Demon!”

Seeing his three sons killed before his eyes in such a short time, the white-haired, youthful-faced old man finally couldn’t hold back any longer.

His eyes bloodshot, he drew a golden saber and slashed at Lu Qing.

He had already realized that feigning cooperation was useless.

This masked man had no intention of negotiating with them; it was a fight to the death.

As he drew the golden saber, the white-haired, youthful-faced old man shouted, “I’ll hold him off! You all run!”

However, his words had barely faded when a mournful cry rang out.

The golden blade, before it even reached Lu Qing, was severed in two by a sword aura.

The blade dimmed, and even its spirit was completely annihilated.

“What? Even a mid-grade peak spiritual weapon can’t withstand a single sword strike?”

The destruction of his spiritual weapon, to which his soul was bound, shook the white-haired, youthful-looking old man’s primordial spirit, causing a surge of blood and qi.

But what filled him with even greater despair was seeing two more sword auras sweep past him.

“No…”

The white-haired, youthful-looking old man whirled around, only to see two lifeless figures plummeting downwards.

Now, of his six sons, only his eldest son, the strongest and at the peak of the Fourth Tribulation, remained alive.

He was enveloped in light, his protective magic treasure activated to its limit, layers upon layers of protective light completely enveloping him.

But the next moment, the white-haired, youthful-looking old man saw a sword aura whiz past his ear, piercing through his eldest son’s skull.

The layers of precious light offered no protection whatsoever, bursting instantly like bubbles.

“Father…”

The eldest son froze, his face filled with terror. He only managed to utter a single cry before the light in his eyes vanished.

His life force dissipated, and he plummeted from the sky.

The white-haired, youthful-faced old man stared blankly at his eldest son’s corpse as it fell.

Finally, it crashed into the ground, creating a shallow crater, and then fell silent.

“Why…” The white-haired, youthful-faced old man suddenly turned around and roared at Lu Qing, “What deep-seated grudge does my Gongshu family have against you that you would be so ruthless!”

However, his roar still failed to elicit any response from Lu Qing.

Sensing the utterly cold gaze beneath Lu Qing’s eerie mask,

the white-haired, youthful-faced old man finally lost his mind.

“Demon! I’ll fight you to the death!”

He suddenly jolted, his face contorted with rage.

A spatial fluctuation rippled, and he teleported to Lu Qing’s side.

At the same time, an aura of annihilation emanated from his body.

Knowing he couldn’t defeat Lu Qing, he attempted to self-destruct his primordial spirit, perishing together with him.

But just as the destructive aura within the white-haired, youthful-looking old man surfaced, an incomparably powerful suppressive force descended upon him.

It completely sealed his primordial spirit, preventing it from functioning even slightly.

His entire body’s magical power also solidified, rendering it unusable.

What terrified the white-haired, youthful-looking old man even more was that he saw Lu Qing’s figure rapidly expand, becoming incredibly tall.

He himself appeared like a tiny ant before him.

But the next moment, he realized that it wasn’t Lu Qing who had grown larger, but rather he himself who had shrunk.

The surging spatial power around him was constantly compressing the space around him.

The other’s mastery of spatial power far surpassed his own; he

had reached the level of being able to freely manipulate space at will!

But understanding this did nothing to change the white-haired, youthful-looking old man’s predicament.

He could only watch in despair as Lu Qing reached out and grabbed him, plunging him into endless darkness.
