The king used the method of subduing spirits and commanding generals to devour the remaining evil spirits, as if he were devouring the sins and darkness of the world.
He was surrounded by dense black energy, like a demon from hell, ferocious and terrifying, inspiring fear in all who beheld him.
A hint of disgust flashed in Luke's eyes. Wang Bing's strength had indeed increased, but the Qi in his body was too mixed, disgustingly like a collection of the world's filth.
Seeing Wang Bing charging towards him like a wild beast, Luke felt no fear, but rather anger and pity.
He slapped Wang Bing hard across the face with his other hand. The force was so great that Wang Bing was instantly knocked out. He fell to the ground helplessly, like a withered leaf swept away by a strong wind.
All of Wang Bing's teeth were knocked out, and he coughed up blood, his face contorted in pain.
The dark energy around him was naturally dispersed, as if the gloom had been dispelled by the sunlight, revealing his weak and ugly nature once again.
Luke coldly stared at Wang Bing lying on the ground and said in an icy tone, "A person like you is not worthy of cultivating Qi. All you pursue is the satisfaction of power and the venting of desires. You have hurt so many innocent people, and now it is time to pay the price for your actions."
Wang Bing lay on the ground, his eyes filled with terror and despair. He knew he had been defeated, utterly defeated.
He tried to struggle, but his body felt as if all his strength had been drained, and he was unable to move.
"I didn't want to talk to you, but you just had to mess with me. Looks like I'll have to go and settle this score with that old bastard Wang Ai."
Wang Ai and Lü Ci were childhood friends, and their reputations in the world of supernatural beings were not good either.
Luke can still be viewed with a second eye because he is truly ruthless and has real guts. After watching the Rust Iron arc, even if you know that Luke is not a good person, it doesn't stop people from saying that Luke is a real character.
But that old bastard Wang Ai was not so pleasing to the eye. He was wicked and wicked. His great-grandson came to cause trouble for him. With Luke's temper, crippling Wang Bing would not be the end of it. This matter had to be "reported to the parents," and it had to be Wang Bing's parents.
Luke gently kicked Wang Bing in the dantian, and Wang Bing visibly slumped down like a deflated balloon.
Clearly, Luke had punctured his dantian.
Unlike martial arts training, Qi and True Qi are completely different things and do not need to be stored in the Dantian.
However, the dantian is still an extremely important transit point for qi. If the dantian is destroyed, even if Wang Bing's qi is still there, it cannot circulate, making him no different from a useless person.
.................................................................................................................................
Just as Luke crippled Wang Bing, inside the house, Lü Ci had already begun questioning Zhang Chulan.
"Don't you want to know about your grandfather?"
"You know what I want to ask, so answer me."
"I'll tell you about your grandfather."
Zhang Chulan froze, caught in a dilemma.
Zhang Chulan finally made up his mind and looked at Lü Ci, saying:
"You ask."
Seeing this, Lü Ci looked at Lü Gong and said, "Lü Gong."
Lu Gong immediately stepped forward and released the Bright Soul Technique.
A blue light enveloped Zhang Chulan.
Seeing this, Lü Ci spoke up:
"Zhang Chulan, I have a question for you..."
Before Lü Ci could ask, Zhang Chulan replied, "Grandpa, I know what you want to ask."
“My grandfather never taught me anything about the source of Qi.”
"He never even revealed a single thing to me about the source of the gas."
At this moment, Lü Ci stood up, looked at Zhang Chulan, and said:
"Don't rush to answer, I haven't finished asking yet."
"Did your grandfather pass anything to you through someone else?"
Zhang Chulan's heart sank, and a bead of cold sweat rolled down his back.
Oh no! It's going to be bad!
Lu Gong sensed something and immediately said to Lu Ci:
"His emotions are fluctuating wildly, sir!"
Upon seeing this, Lü Ci immediately understood and grinned.
"Haha, it seems your grandfather Zhang Huaiyi is really smart."
"Passing it on through someone else? Good trick, hahaha."
"That way, you can evade all our interrogation methods by simply saying that your grandfather didn't pass it on."
Just then, a loud bang was heard, and the door to the room was kicked open.
Luke strode in, his eyes sharp as knives, staring directly at everyone in the room.
Chapter 46: One Person's Story: Luke kicks down the door, his Heaven-Covering Palm sends Wang Ai flying.
"Hmph, old man Lü Ci, it seems your Lü family isn't all that great, resorting to such methods against a junior," Luke said sarcastically.
Lu Ci looked at Luke, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.
"Oh? It's my young friend Luke. What, are you here to support Zhang Chulan?"
Lu Ci said lightly.
He naturally knew Luke. He always thought of taking this rising star in the world of Inhumans into his family, so he paid more attention to him.
Luke shook his head and said, "No, I'm not familiar with him."
When Luke kicked the door open, Zhang Chulan felt as if he had seen a ray of light, as if his savior had finally arrived.
However, as soon as Luke said that, Zhang Chulan's expression immediately turned awkward, feeling as if his sincere feelings had been wasted.
"call out!"
Just then, Wang Ai, who had been silent all along, used her cane as a weapon to stab Luke.
Because he had already seen Wang Bing behind Luke, who was lying on the ground, looking listless and on the verge of death.
It's not hard to guess who beat their beloved great-grandson into this state; given how much Wang Ai doted on Wang Bing, it's no surprise they acted immediately.
Wang Ai did not use any special techniques; he simply activated his Qi. After all, even though Luke was a rare talent among the younger generation, he was just an insignificant junior to Wang Ai.
"Boy, take your life!"
Luke glanced at it and raised his hand in response.
"Heaven-shading palm!"
Luke's Sky-Covering Palm technique possessed a vast and boundless power, blotting out the sun and sky, like dark clouds pressing down from the heavens, inspiring awe. The palm wind howled in, carrying an irresistible pressure, instantly engulfing the cane in Wang Ai's hand.
The walking stick, like a fragile withered branch, was instantly shredded by the force of the palm strike, sending wood chips flying everywhere.
Wang Ai felt an overwhelming force coming towards him. He was terrified and hurriedly activated all his Qi to try to resist it.
However, Luke's palm strike was too powerful, and he was sent flying backward like a leaf caught in a whirlwind.
His body arced through the air before crashing heavily into the chair behind him.
The chair, unable to bear the weight, instantly shattered into pieces, sending splinters flying everywhere.
Wang Ai lost her footing and continued flying backward, finally coming to a stop against the wall.
He felt a surge of blood rushing to his chest and a metallic taste in his throat.
The cracks on the wall spread out like a spider web, a testament to the terrifying power of that palm strike.
Wang Ai's face turned ashen, her eyes filled with disbelief.
He never expected that this young Luke would have such great strength, that he could strike this old-generation expert so hard that his blood and qi would churn and he would even suffer internal injuries.
Of course, this was also due to Wang Ai underestimating his opponent; otherwise, things wouldn't have come to this.
"At your age, you shouldn't be so hot-tempered, lest you burn yourself."
This Heaven-Covering Palm technique is a memory inheritance obtained from Luke, a master of martial arts. Luke uses Qi to activate it, and it runs smoothly without any loss of power. It can be considered one of Luke's main offensive methods.
Lu Ci's pupils contracted sharply, clearly in disbelief. Wang Ai, that old man, had actually died?
However, before Lü Ci could react, Zhang Chulan reacted first.
A golden light flashed around Zhang Chulan, and he broke free from Lü Gong's Soul-Brightening Technique, leaping to Luke's side and saying with an admiring expression.
"Holy crap, Brother Lu, you're amazing! You sent one of the Ten Elders flying with a single palm strike. You truly are a prodigy among the younger generation. I am completely humbled."
Zhang Chulan hunched over, showering the audience with compliments.
While his own reinforcements were still pending, Luke was determined to cling to him.
Zhang Chulan was naturally shocked by Luke's strength, but he was even more aware of his current situation. If the Minghun Technique were to search him, wouldn't his Old Farmer's Kung Fu be exposed?
Although he didn't know if the Old Farmer's Skill was the source of Qi, he dared not gamble!
Wang Ai calmed herself down, came to Lu Ci's side, looked at Luke with resentment in her eyes, and said.
"Boy, don't think you can be so presumptuous in front of me just because you have some talent. You injured my precious grandson and you still dare to be so insolent in front of me. Even if I kill you, Lu Jin and the Zhuge family won't say anything."
Only then did Lü Ci realize that the person lying at the door was none other than Wang Ai's great-grandson.
It's a tradition in the Wang family to spoil their children. The younger the generation and the younger the age, the more they are spoiled. Back then, Wang Ai was already quite old, but his grandfather and father still treated him like a child. Lü Ci witnessed this firsthand.
Luke sighed and said, "Now I know why Wang Bing is so arrogant. It turns out it's a family trait. They start fighting as soon as they meet. It's so uncivilized."
Zhang Chulan's lips twitched, his inner吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for sarcastic or critical comments) soul stirring within him.
Brother, you're a battle maniac, yet you're saying others aren't refined enough? Don't you have a bit of a misunderstanding of your own position?
Zhang Chulan knew about Luke's reputation in the world of supernatural beings from Xu San and Xu Si. Judging from his past behavior and the nickname "Immortal Vajra," he was really not associated with the word "refined," even if Luke himself was a college graduate.
That's right, as mentioned earlier, Luke's nickname is the Immortal.
Before his cultivation was fully developed, Luke often sought out others to spar in order to become stronger. Although ordinary people could not break through the Horizontal Strength Technique, it was not impossible for anyone to do so.
But as his cultivation level increased and his communication and integration with Zwono Luke became more frequent, his defense became increasingly difficult to break. He was like an unbreakable copper pea, and with his tenacious stamina and strong vitality, the nickname "Immortal Vajra" stuck to him.
Lu Ci, who had been observing coldly, finally spoke up: "Kid, you're being far too arrogant. Young people should keep a low profile, or they won't even know how they died."
Luke shrugged and said, "Look at what you're saying. I didn't want to be so conspicuous either, but Grandpa Wang dotes on his grandson and wouldn't let me. I was just walking along, not intending to get involved in your mess, but that kid came to ambush me with his men. His mouth was so foul, constantly asking for my martial arts techniques. I figured Ru Hu and my dad both knew those techniques, so why did they have to come to me? Isn't that looking down on me? Tell me, do you think I'd let that little bastard go? If it were you, you'd probably have killed this unfortunate kid and used him as fertilizer by now."
