88: Chapter 88 Slaying! Initial occupation of Ning'an Outer City, the ruthless Burning Bone Arena!

The blood ray blade in his hand slowly moved down an inch inside Han Baxian's body!

Double damage!

Execution mechanism triggered successfully!

Health bar depletion technique activated!

Rip—!

Han Baxian's ferocious face seemed to sense something and instantly stiffened!

His eyes were filled with disbelief, his lips slightly parted, as if he wanted to ask Lu Qingyun how he had done it.

He had forcibly locked all his qi, blood, and vital energy within his body!

In this state, his defense reached an unprecedented level, nearly capable of locking away all injuries!

Within the next half minute, he would unleash all his power!

With this move, he had already killed three experts who were also at the Half-Step Yukong Realm!

But why, against Lu Qingyun... did it have absolutely no effect...

No, it wasn't that it had no effect!

That one-inch shift contained force barely comparable to that of a three-year-old child; it wasn't a serious attack at all!

Yet that single touch had shattered his state, draining his life force at a terrifying speed!

Thud—!!

Han Baxian, who had been grinning ferociously just moments ago, ready to unleash one final burst to take Lu Qingyun down with him.

His massive corpse collapsed to the ground with a dull, heavy thud.

Lu Qingyun slowly withdrew the blood ray blade from his body.

He wiped the bloodstains off onto the man's smooth, scarred head.

Then, he looked toward the remaining six people.

"Everyone, why have you stopped talking?"

A faint smile played on Lu Qingyun's face as he walked toward them step by step.

Seeing that the situation was dire, Young Master Zhao Kuo recalled Lu Qingyun's personality just now. He immediately put a smile back on his face, took out a spirit crystal he had taken from his own expert, as well as a bottle of xiantian pill, and tremblingly handed them to Lu Qingyun, saying, "Supervisor Lu, I knew you would win in the end!"

"This Han Baxian is treacherous and disloyal; seeing profit, he actually chose to betray us! My Zhao Family saw his true colors back then, which is why we didn't recruit him."

"What I said just now was only to help Supervisor Lu distract him, so that you could seize the initiative in the battle!!"

Young Master Zhao Kuo spoke with such sincerity that if his legs weren't shaking at that moment, Lu Qingyun might have actually believed him a little bit.

Unfortunately, whether he believed it or not didn't matter.

"Then I must truly thank you for your quick wit."

Lu Qingyun took the spirit crystal and the xiantian pill, speaking indifferently.

Seeing the items taken, Young Master Zhao Kuo felt a surge of joy.

He thought Lu Qingyun wasn't going to hold his previous actions against him.

He immediately said with a beaming smile, "No, no, I was just..."

Pfft—!!

An extremely faint sound of flesh tearing rang out.

Young Master Zhao Kuo's voice came to an abrupt halt!

Lu Qingyun continued walking forward as if nothing had happened, his steps steady and heavy, the sound of his footsteps echoing.

Tap, tap, tap—

Thud—!!

Young Master Zhao Kuo's head fell off, as if keeping time with the steady, rhythmic footsteps.

The next moment, the remaining five people's eyes were filled with terror!

They felt regret, wanted to beg for mercy, wanted to flee...

But the strongest among them was only at the Aperture-Opening Realm.

In front of Lu Qingyun, they had no ability to resist at all.

In the end...

[Blade Intent + 1]

[Blade Intent + 1]

[Killed Lv13 human martial artist...]

After a while.

Tingzhu Pavilion fell completely silent, with only the sound of the wind blowing through the remaining bamboo stalks.

The bamboo leaves rustled, casting dappled spots of light onto the corpses below.

...

After returning to the Burning Bone Beast Arena.

A blood-stained Lu Qingyun slowly issued an order amidst the awe-filled gazes of the crowd.

"Take over the spheres of influence of the Six Great Families in the Outer City, and notify the other families."

"From this day forth, I do not want to hear a single dissenting voice in the entire Outer City. Anyone who has an objection, I will pay them a visit to discuss it personally."

After saying this, Lu Qingyun didn't care about their reactions.

He went straight back to the cultivation room, preparing to boost his strength.

After Lu Qingyun left, the others looked at each other in dismay.

Finally, they all looked in the direction of Shi Jian.

Shi Jian was also puzzled, but after pulling Ming Cheng aside and asking him, his pupils shrank violently.

He immediately called people to go and confirm it.

It was finally confirmed that in the single day Lu Qingyun had been out, he had killed more than ten experts who were at least at the Xiantian Late Stage.

Even the young masters and misses of those families had not a single survivor.

He finally realized!

The sky of this Outer City... no! It should be said that the sky of the entire Ningan City was about to change!

Without a doubt, Lu Qingyun's behavior was a provocation to the Six Great Families!

Even the families that hadn't participated, he wanted to suppress them with thunderous force!

This kind of behavior, even the Burning Bone Beast Arena couldn't withstand!

But by comparison, if he could really pull it off... the benefits involved were so great that he was trembling all over!

Should he pause all actions and go back to report to Ning Xuanzhou?

Or should he follow Supervisor Lu's orders, directly take over all the businesses, and massively expand the Fifth District Burning Bone Beast Arena?

Shi Jian... was also an ambitious person!

"Boss Ning once said that this Fifth District is entirely under Supervisor Lu's responsibility. He doesn't even ask about the profits, which means... I just need to follow Supervisor Lu's orders. If they ask about it later... I don't know anything!"

Shi Jian made his decision in just a few seconds!

Soon, all the personnel of the Burning Bone Beast Arena swarmed out.

In just one day.

They completely took over the businesses.

Although taking them over was one thing, whether they could actually hold them was another.

Yet the Burning Bone Beast Arena still shocked all the forces entrenched in the Outer City!

At the same time, news spread that the heirs of the Six Great Families had been wiped out in one fell swoop before they could even show their prowess in the Outer City.

From this day on, their understanding of Lu Qingyun's strength deepened!

Although they had no way of knowing about Han Baxian's involvement, even just the six Peak Innate Realm experts were enough to establish Lu Qingyun's fierce reputation!

He stood invincible among the innate realm!

I fear that unless someone at the Yukong Realm comes out, no one can sanction him!

And this Outer City, lacking in resources, was simply not worth the attention of the Yukong Realm level.

In their view.

Lu Qingyun, with at least Peak Innate Realm strength, involving himself in the affairs of the Outer City, must definitely be under instructions from the Burning Bone Beast Arena!

It was the Burning Bone Beast Arena; after they had wanted to meddle in the interests of the Outer City and been blocked by them together, they harbored dissatisfaction and a desire for revenge, and thus sent out a Peak Innate Realm martial artist.

It was to take advantage of their ignorance and seize the interests of the Outer City with absolute power; even if it were only for a short time, it demonstrated the perseverance of the Ning Family, like a centipede that dies but does not fall!
