The three clan heads emerged from the grand hall. Before they even approached the outskirts of the Zhou family estate, they heard a fierce battle taking place.
As they moved forward, they smelled a strong scent of blood.
Zhou Bei Qin's face was now grim, his mind consumed by the thought of how many people had died to create such a heavy blood scent.
Soon, as they reached the outer perimeter of the Zhou family, a scene of intense fighting met their eyes.
Everywhere they looked, disciples clad in Zhou family attire lay amidst pools of blood.
Among them were many elders, their bodies sprawled across the ground, staining the earth red!
Amidst the chaos, countless Zhou family members fought desperately, their cries echoing through the sky.
Seeing this horrifying sight, Zhou Bei Qin's gaze turned into a tangible killing intent.
“Land of Lu, you seek death!”
His voice, each word echoing through the air, resonated with righteous fury.
How could he not be enraged when he saw his own people lying dead?
Zhou Bei Qin unleashed his Divine Sense, sweeping through the area. Instantly, he detected two Land of Lu elders with the highest battle power—the Second Elder, Lu Chang Feng, and the Fourth Elder, Lu Qian Chuan, who were engaged in the fight.
Upon this realization, Zhou Bei Qin's expression relaxed slightly.
He had initially assumed that the Land of Lu had brought along powerful allies, but he saw no other formidable figures.
“Do you think you can just barge into my Zhou family with your Land of Lu men? You are truly courting death!”
“Hmm!”
Just as Zhou Bei Qin was about to make his move, he noticed a young man from the Land of Lu standing with his hands behind his back, not participating in the fight.
This was unexpected.
The young man simply stood within the crowd, only intervening briefly when he saw Land of Lu disciples facing imminent danger.
“Lu Qing Xuan?”
Soon, Zhou Bei Qin recognized the young man, a flicker of surprise crossing his face.
How could he not recognize the features of the newly appointed Prince Lu?
He hadn't expected the new prince to personally be here.
Lu Qing Xuan, aware of Zhou Bei Qin's gaze, met his eyes with a flicker of surprise.
He didn't expect the clan heads of the Fang and Han families to be present—this was interesting indeed.
“Youngster, you dare come here seeking death? Then do not blame me for using my strength against a weakling!”
The moment his eyes met Lu Qing Xuan, a cold, sharp glint filled Zhou Bei Qin's gaze.
To catch a thief, first catch the king!
Without hesitation, he leaped into the air and launched a direct attack on Lu Qing Xuan.
“Come here!”
Zhou Bei Qin, still in mid-air, extended his right hand.
Buzz!
A spiritual force hand, stretching some ten feet, emerged from the sky with lightning speed, clawing towards Lu Qing Xuan.
The clan heads of the Fang and Han families exchanged smiles. With Zhou Bei Qin personally taking action, capturing Lu Qing Xuan would be a simple task.
In their minds, Lu Qing Xuan was merely a low-level cultivator who hadn't yet reached the Divine Power Realm.
How could he possibly resist Zhou Bei Qin's Xuan Dan Realm Sixth Stage cultivation?
However, their smiles froze in an instant.
In their view, Lu Qing Xuan calmly unleashed a clear light fist shadow. The moment it touched the spiritual force hand...
The hand shattered like brittle glass.
The fist shadow, undiminished in strength, flew towards Zhou Bei Qin with the speed of lightning.
Bang!
Zhou Bei Qin, like a sandbag, was sent flying back, coughing up blood mid-air. He smashed through several pavilions before finally crashing to the ground.
Looking at him, his left side seemed to be caved in, blood flowing freely. His appearance was pitiful, clearly heavily injured and struggling to stand.
This attack was Lu Qing's Spiritual Clear Shattering Heaven Fist art.
This terrifying fist technique, from the first realm of the Purple Clear Saint Extreme Domination Scripture, could be barely countered by a peak Xuan Dan Realm expert.
How could Zhou Bei Qin, merely in the Xuan Dan Realm Sixth Stage, withstand such overwhelming power? If not for the inner armor he wore, this punch would have sent him to meet his maker.
Seeing their prince deliver a single punch that severely injured the Zhou family clan head, the Land of Lu forces in the midst of the battle were invigorated, their fighting spirit reaching a fever pitch.
Conversely, the Zhou family members' faces wore expressions of disbelief, their fighting spirit waning significantly.
“Damn it, this youngster is definitely not a low-level cultivator!”
In the distance, the clan heads of the Fang and Han families were filled with fear, their pupils widening.
A low-level cultivator who could severely injure a Xuan Dan Realm expert with a single attack? Was this a joke?
They realized something was amiss, their expressions grave.
There must be a trick, and perhaps a big one at that!
But even when they unleashed their Divine Sense and thoroughly scanned the area, they couldn't determine Lu Qing Xuan's actual level of cultivation.
They exchanged glances, silently nodding in agreement.
Their meaning was clear: unleash their weapons and join the fight immediately.
“Rise!”
Han Yan, the head of the Han family, bellowed, making the first move.
Swish!
A crimson-colored cauldron soared into the air, spinning while emitting crimson light. Flames resembling dragons erupted from within, stretching out their claws and wreaking havoc throughout the sky.
Almost simultaneously.
The head of the Fang family also took action.
“Go!”
His voice thundered like spring lightning. His sleeves billowed as he launched a mountain-shaped treasure, radiating with light, towards Lu Qing Xuan.
In an instant, the clan heads of the Fang and Han families swiftly launched their powerful treasures, aiming to first drive back the obstacle in their path: Lu Qing Xuan.
Faced with this, Lu Qing Xuan remained calm.
He formed his five fingers into a fist, executing the Spiritual Clear Shattering Heaven Fist, and struck out toward the crimson cauldron.
Countless fiery dragons were pulverized by the force of his fist, before directly striking the cauldron.
Crack!
The cauldron, as if struck by a mountain, emitted a cracking sound.
The next moment, it shattered into pieces, the fragments scattering across the sky.
At the same time, the mountain-shaped treasure was about to reach him. Lu Qing Xuan transformed his fist into a giant palm and slapped it out.
Boom!
The mountain-shaped treasure, as if made of tofu, was instantly shattered into several pieces, scattering into the air.
Pff! Pff!
The moment their treasures were shattered, the clan heads of the Fang and Han families simultaneously suffered a backlash, unable to suppress a cough of blood.
“How...how is that possible?”
Their hearts filled with dread, unable to comprehend.
Two Earth-grade Upper-grade treasures, shattered by Lu Qing Xuan with his bare hands.
Was this still a human? Just how terrifying was his physical strength?
How were they to know that Lu Qing Xuan was blessed with the Heavenly Domination Physique, and he had also cultivated the supreme ancient scripture of Body and Law Cultivation?
His physical strength had reached an unimaginable level.
In Lu Qing Xuan's eyes, resisting Earth-grade treasures with his bare hands was basic operation!
If he couldn't shatter an Earth-grade treasure with a full-fledged attack, then it would be truly strange.
While the clan heads of the Fang and Han families were still in shock, a hand-print that obscured the sky had already swept across the air and pressed down on them.
This was Lu Qing Xuan's next move.
Lu Qing Xuan's figure shimmered with light, his blood boiling. He seemed like a dragon awakening from the abyss, his aura rising into the sky.
“Xuan Dan Realm Seventh Stage!”
“He...he actually possesses the cultivation of the Xuan Dan Realm later stage!”
“How is that possible?”
At that moment, the clan heads of the Fang and Han families finally detected Lu Qing Xuan's true cultivation, their eyes filled with disbelief.
According to intelligence, the current lord of the Land of Lu had not yet reached the Divine Power Realm!
How could it be that in just a few months, he had already stepped into the Xuan Dan Realm Seventh Stage?
However, before they could react, the palm print came crashing down on them.
Bang!
With a deafening roar, the clan heads of the Fang and Han families were almost turned into a bloody mess.
If it wasn't for Lu Qing Xuan slightly holding back at the last moment, they would have surely perished.
Lu Qing Xuan understood that this was not the time to kill these two. He still had to visit their families. If he killed them now, they might notice something, which would be bad for him.
From the moment the clan heads of the Fang and Han families made their move to the moment they were both suppressed, it seemed like a long time, but in reality, it was just a few breaths.
Shattering Earth-grade Upper-grade treasures with his bare hands, suppressing the heads of two families with a single palm.
Witnessing this scene, the Land of Lu forces were all invigorated, their morale reaching new heights.
This was their prince, the Land of Lu! His might was unmatched, an unyielding force.
On the other hand, the Zhou family members' fighting spirit was dealt another blow. Their resolve completely vanished.
Meanwhile, Lu Qing Xuan flicked his finger, launching two beams of spiritual light that landed on the clan heads of the Fang and Han families, temporarily sealing their cultivation and ensuring their survival for now.
After doing this, he ignored them, turning his gaze towards Zhou Bei Qin, who lay paralyzed on the ground.
He extended his hand, capturing Zhou Bei Qin and drawing him closer.
However, at that moment.
A heavy, mountain-like voice, filled with rage, boomed from deep within the Zhou family estate.
“Trespassing on my Zhou family land, killing my Zhou family members, you are all courting death!”
The voice was not loud, but it resonated like thunder, reaching every ear.
