140: Chapter 140 Clearance Sale! One spirit crystal per person, those who can't sell will die!

"Everyone, harmony brings wealth."

"Take my advice and both sides take a step back, how about it?"

Lu Qingyun said in a clear, loud voice from midair.

He acted like a peacemaker, speaking in a gentle tone with an amiable smile on his face.

If not for the Jingdu Martial Arts University teacher not far from him, whose arms had been ruined and who was wailing incessantly, probably no one would have mistaken him for a cultist.

But even so, what he said...

...sounded like complete nonsense to most people.

Harmony brings wealth? Heh—did he think this was a business transaction!

This was a battlefield!

A place of slaughter!

Where bloody violence was revered and strength reigned supreme!

Who would talk about such useless things with you!

A cultist who wanted to take advantage of his distraction and make a stealthy, lethal move...

...had just raised his blade and was about to strike when...

Pop—!!

Under the impact of Psychic Power, his head instantly exploded like a ripe watermelon!

From that moment on...

...everyone who had been thinking of catching others off guard felt their hearts shudder!

Because... a vast, ocean-like tide of Psychic Power, terrifying enough to almost rival Divine Intent, swept over and covered the entire battlefield!

Everyone's every move was completely under his control!

"Everyone, look at me, look at me!"

Like an attention-seeker, Lu Qingyun waved continuously to his surroundings. Just as everyone's eyes locked onto him...

...his aura suddenly shifted!

At this moment, under his level suppression of up to level 39, everyone present was completely bound!

They lost all ability to resist!

They could only be slaughtered at will like pigs and dogs!

It was safe to say that if Lu Qingyun wanted to...

...he could kill everyone present, including the Cultists, within a few minutes!

"What kind of... talent is this?!"

High in the air, Qin Fenghuo could no longer maintain his composure upon seeing this.

Because of this suddenly appearing burly man, the heavy casualties he had originally anticipated would now turn into zero survivors!

This even included all the teachers and senior students!

Such a loss was something that he, Jingdu Martial Arts University, and the entire human race absolutely could not accept!

"Leng Qianmo! Does your Heavenly Demon Sect truly intend to go this far?!"

Qin Fenghuo roared in anger.

In truth, Leng Qianmo was also wondering in his heart who this newly emerged Yukong Realm expert was.

With such a pure Heavenly Demon Arts aura and a Sky-Flying Realm cultivation...

...it was impossible that he had never heard of him!

He glanced at the old woman, only to find the same confusion in her eyes.

Clearly, neither of the two elders recognized him.

However, recognition aside, since it was confirmed he was from the Heavenly Demon Sect...

...and had the capability to pull off such a feat, they had to protect him!

"Going too far? So what if we do? At worst, we'll have another Great Purge! As long as the roots of our Heavenly Demon Sect are not destroyed, the day the Heavenly Demon descends will be the day the world belongs to the Heavenly Demon!"

Leng Qianmo did not back down in the slightest.

With a grim gaze, he confronted Qin Fenghuo!

Neither of them concealed their voices; they rumbled like thunder in the sky, echoing across the entire field.

"Yes! Kill, kill, kill!"

"Elder Leng, that's the way! Even if he wimps out later, don't let him off. I absolutely hate post-event apologies!"

Mu Susu stood by Lu Qingyun's side and shouted loudly.

Her small face was flushed with excitement, as if she was imagining how much benefit the fall of so many supreme geniuses would bring her!

Thwack—!!

Lu Qingyun flicked her on the forehead.

He said in an annoyed tone, "Kill what kill? I have always loved peace and disliked slaughter. These are all my customers, so show some better attitude!"

After lecturing Mu Susu, Lu Qingyun raised his head and looked at Qin Fenghuo.

Having altered his flesh and blood, he was confident that Qin Fenghuo would not recognize him at all.

So he naturally opened his mouth wide to demand a high price, saying, "Professor Qin, are you interested in a special sale? Flat rate for the entire venue, regardless of cultivation or talent. Only one spirit crystal each, any attribute you want. For example, this one here, are you interested?"

Lu Qingyun pulled the Yu Kong Realm teacher whose hands he had ruined over to him and displayed him to Qin Fenghuo.

Hearing these words and witnessing this utterly absurd scene...

...Qin Fenghuo's chest heaved violently with rage. His gaze toward Lu Qingyun was icy cold, with killing intent surging in his eyes!

He did not answer.

Because he could not accept that the teachers and students of Jingdu Martial Arts University were being sold at will like piglets!

This was a provocation to the university's dignity!

It was a blatant humiliation!

If he answered, it would be equivalent to acknowledging this premise and submitting to the cult!

Thus, he stubbornly turned his head away.

And then...

Pfft—!!!

The sound of flesh being torn apart was extremely clear at this moment.

Qin Fenghuo's body gasped and shuddered. As if realizing something, his face filled with disbelief and rage!

He turned back, and upon seeing the corpse that had already been torn in half...

...his Divine Intent instantly surged, and his emotions reached a peak!

"You... how dare you!!"

He had not expected Lu Qingyun to be so decisive and brutal!

Just because he hadn't replied whether he was interested, the man had directly made a move and killed him!

"What do you mean 'how dare I'?"

"Didn't Professor Qin not take a fancy to him? True, trading one spirit crystal for a ruined Yukong Realm practitioner is a bad deal. It's normal to not want to trade, I can understand. Since it's a worthless item, it naturally must be destroyed."

Lu Qingyun looked at Qin Fenghuo with a puzzled expression, speaking in a matter-of-fact tone.

Then, he picked another one.

It was a female teacher holding a three-foot green sword. She had a great figure, the kind that made people want to start a teacher-student romance at first sight.

"Professor Qin, how about this one? Also one spirit crystal, excellent quality at a low price!"

"In fact, if you place a limited-time order... I can even throw in a Yu Kong Realm evil cultivator as a bonus punchbag to relieve your stress."

At this moment, Lu Qingyun had pushed his business mind to its absolute limit.

Using whatever was at hand, he dragged over a young-looking evil cultivator of the Yukong Realm whom he seemed to have seen at the last Heavenly Demon Sect meeting.

One male and one female, one righteous and one evil—this was indeed a great pairing!

"Hmm? Still not interested in this either?"

"Then I have no choice but to..."

Lu Qingyun didn't care too much; after all, things are valued when they are rare.

Worst case... he would just kill a few more.

They would agree eventually.

At the same time, Dong Dajin's wailing suddenly rang out from below, incredibly loud!

"Elder Qin—!! I don't want to die!!"

"You don't care about our lives, but our parents do—!!"

"They raised us with so much sweat and tears; if we die just like this, how heartbroken will they be?! And it's only a single spirit crystal, yet you can't even bear to part with it. Are our lives really that cheap in the school's eyes?!"

Dong Dajin's wailing instantly resonated with many of the freshmen who were already terrified.

It was hard enough for them to get into Jingdu Martial Arts University, and setting aside the fact that they were ambushed by a cult midway—which was an unpredictable accident...

...the enemy had made it clear that only a single spirit crystal was needed to save a life.

Although normally one shouldn't trust cults, not even trying was truly disheartening!

Is this what the higher-ups are like?

Not showing the slightest consideration for the plight of those at the bottom!

Under the immense pressure, Qin Fenghuo finally stopped holding out.

Looking as if he had aged many times over in an instant, he spoke in a raspy voice, "Don't do it. Not just her... but everyone else left from my Jingdu Martial Arts University, I will save them all."

"It's just... I don't have that many spirit crystals..."

"My apologies, this is a zero-cost business; no credit allowed."

Lu Qingyun said this very naturally, not feeling anything was wrong with it at all.

However, to at least get something...

...to be safe, he softened his stance slightly first.

"How many spirit crystals do you have right now?"

Qin Fenghuo consulted with the other Divine Will Celestial, and they finally came up with a number.

"Sixty-two."

This amount was very small.

It didn't even reach half.

But fortunately, not only was Lu Qingyun's business zero-cost, but he could also choose to sell them retail!

He casually pointed out sixty-two people, including Dong Dajin and his two companions, and lifted the suppression on them.

Qin Fenghuo also tossed him sixty-two spirit crystals.

Then, looking at the remaining hundred or so people, Qin Fenghuo fell into silence.

One spirit crystal per person seemed like very little.

But with such a large number of people, this figure became extremely terrifying!

...
