238: Chapter 238 Killing Luo Xue

"You must be Lin Qing, right?"

Lin Qing being hunted by forces throughout the Central Continent was not just empty talk; his talent had truly reached the ears of nearly every Cultivator, so Lu Xue's mother guessed Lin Qing's identity at the very first moment.

Lin Qing frowned slightly. In truth, as long as he wanted to leave, the opponent could not keep him here at this moment.

The true body of the person before him could be considered an expert even among Level 11s, but this Divine Thought imprint at most barely reached the threshold of Level 11. Although Lin Qing's teleportation had a brief startup time, the opponent's strength was still not enough to capture Lin Qing in that short amount of time.

Furthermore, Lin Qing still had a turtle shell on him, inside of which was a Divine Thought imprint from the Divine Venerable known as Old Turtle. Although Old Turtle would not help him kill people, escorting him away was not a problem at all.

However, Lin Qing did not plan to flee in a wretched state. Since Lu Xue dared to chase after him, he naturally had to make her pay the price, even if a Level 11 powerhouse came, there would be no room for maneuver.

With a thought from Lin Qing, a Domain spread in all directions with him at the center.

Thousands of golden blade lights circulated in the Void Realm; earthen-yellow spiritual light sank, stabilizing the barriers of the earth; the surrounding trees began to grow wildly, and countless vines burst out from the soil; meteors wrapped in raging flames were falling from the dome of the sky; in the distance, monstrous giant waves were sweeping toward this side.

When fighting against others, Lin Qing rarely used the power of the Five Elements, but this time the opponent was Level 11, so he had to go all out.

Lin Qing even used the power of Burning Bridges, but his current situation was relatively safe, so the enhancement from Burning Bridges was negligible.

"What kind of power is this?!"

Even Lu Xue's mother, a Level 11 powerhouse who had lived for thousands of years, had never seen anyone able to comprehend five different elemental wills, and these five wills were not simply stacked, but rather achieved a perfect Fusion.

"Xue'er, go quickly!"

Feeling the terrifying aura of the Five Elements, Lu Xue's mother had no confidence in blocking it. Seeing that Lin Qing looked like he did not want to waste words with her, she hurriedly spoke up to let Lu Xue leave.

However, wanting to leave at this time was already a bit late; Lin Qing's attack had already been unleashed.

A hundred-foot-large Spiritual Qi giant palm pressed down toward the mother and daughter. Five-colored light circulated on the palm, and although it looked like it was falling slowly, in reality, it reached in front of the two in an instant.

Lu Xue's mother desperately resisted, yet the giant palm only paused for a split second before continuing to press down. The Divine Thought imprint began to dissolve, and before it completely shattered, she turned her head to look at Lu Xue, emitting a piercing and miserable howl from her mouth.

"No, Xue'er!"

Lu Xue's dharma idol had long since dissipated. At this moment, she stood blankly in place, her eyes filled with blank confusion, completely forgetting to resist. She could not figure out why Lin Qing was so strong; clearly he only had Ninth Rank cultivation, yet he could even defeat a Level 11.

Boom——!

The giant palm completely fell, crashing onto the earth that had been blessed by the earth will, producing a muffled sound.

Afterwards, the Spiritual Qi giant palm dissipated, leaving behind a palm-shaped deep pit in place. As for Lu Xue, her Primordial Spirit and Physical Body were destroyed together, leaving not even a trace of blood behind.

Lin Qing put away the Five Elements Domain and looked up at the distant sky, where there were originally a few Tenth Rank Cultivators rushing over.

During the time Lu Xue's mother appeared, they had advanced a bit further, causing their Divine Thoughts to also sense what had happened on this side.

Having witnessed Lin Qing shatter even the Divine Thought of a Level 11 powerhouse, how could they still dare to step forward? They hurriedly turned around and ran, fearing that Lin Qing would chase after them.

Lin Qing thought about it and did not pursue them. Although two teleportations would allow him to reach them, they were Tenth Rank Cultivators after all, and among them was even a Tenth Rank Peak. Killing them would cause quite a commotion, and some small cities were already located over there.

The battlefield was no place to linger. Lin Qing used teleportation a few times, hurrying toward his original direction. When he was about to reach his destination, he continued flying on his way.

Arriving in the city, he first employed some concealment methods before starting to disguise himself. Such methods might not deceive a Level 11 Cultivator, but deployed in such a small city, no one should be able to discover them.

Concealment methods were not transformation methods. Transformation methods meant that even if you stood right in front of someone, they could not recognize your identity, whereas concealment methods meant that clearly you were within the opponent's Divine Thought range, yet the opponent simply could not sense the presence of anyone here.

Over the next few teleportations, every time Lin Qing reached a place, he would first use concealment methods and then undergo multiple transformations. It was not until he arrived near Wanyan Spirit Pavilion once again that he completely changed back into the appearance of Xie Chen.

Returning to Jianduan with familiar ease, Tao Tao was already waiting at the shop entrance. There was no help for it; Tao Tao had set out from Qianbao City earlier than him to begin with.

It was impossible for him to frequently use speed exceeding the Ninth Rank on his journey, coupled with the matter of Lu Xue and the even more cautious transformations afterwards, in the end he still returned a little later than Tao Tao.

However, Tao Tao was not the kind of personality who liked to suspect others after all; Lin Qing easily fooled her past by just using the excuse of going to eat at another market town.

After following Lin Qing inside the shop, Tao Tao said mysteriously,

"Junior Brother Xie, I'll tell you some news!"

Lin Qing already knew that Tao Tao had bought two sets of Ninth Rank weapon blueprints. Although he was not curious in his heart, he still cooperated very much and asked,

"What news?"

"Lin Qing has appeared, and he has done another major deed."

As a super force, Wanyan Spirit Pavilion was as well-informed as ever. Lin Qing had only just returned, yet Tao Tao seemed to already know a lot of things.

Afterwards, Tao Tao began to tell Lin Qing about the auction, talking about how beautiful Lu Xue was, saying that a mysterious person appeared in the Earth-grade private room and challenged a Level 11 powerhouse, and then talking about Lin Qing, saying that from the hands of the Level 11 powerhouse, he forcibly killed that Lu Xue.

Tao Tao chattered endlessly, while Lin Qing feigned a look of rapt interest.

"You don't know, that Lu Xue is truly the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. What a pity, how do you say that Lin Qing could bring himself to do it?"

Does being good-looking grant one immunity from death? Lin Qing did not think so; when killing people, he always only looked at whether the opponent deserved to be killed or not, so he asked Tao Tao in return.

"Haven't you had contact with Lin Qing before? Do you think Lin Qing cared about your beauty at that time?"

His original intention was to tell Tao Tao that Lin Qing did not value beauty that much, but who would have known that Tao Tao's next words would leave him dumbfounded.

"Of course, otherwise what do you think I relied on to survive from his hands!"

"Holy crap, what a hater!"

Lin Qing was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to respond, while Tao Tao waved her hand.

"Let's not talk about them anymore."

Afterwards, she pulled out those two sets of Ninth Rank weapon blueprints from her Storage Ring and handed them to Lin Qing.

"Tada, Junior Brother Xie, look at what this is!"
