Chapter 106 Lu Tianzhuang Severely Injured

"withdraw!"

Lu Tianzhuang shouted loudly, staring intently at Shen Qing, even though they hadn't intended to cause any tragedy this time.

They just want to gain fame by stepping on these religious sects.

But before even a seventh-grade supernatural being appeared, he was being beaten by a kid who was previously weaker than him.

When they first arrived, they wanted to attract people to join them. Simply promoting among ordinary people was not enough; that was just a small-scale effort.

To attract those with supernatural abilities, one also needs a sufficiently prominent debut in the local supernatural community.

At present, an exchange meeting bringing together various religious sects is naturally the first choice.

They originally planned to leave calmly before reinforcements arrived, but instead of becoming famous, they really lost face.

However, Lu Tianzhuang did not intend to run away immediately.

After shouting, he prioritized covering the escape of his men—these were men he had painstakingly recruited.

During this time, Lu Tianzhuang endured several shots from Shen Qing, his shoulder and thigh were immediately torn open and bleeding.

He looked disheveled, but in reality, his injuries were healing at a visible speed.

"Recovery-related abilities —"

Shen Qing frowned, knowing that it would be difficult to keep the other party here, and only a few minutes had passed, so it was impossible for the same level of combat power from headquarters to arrive in time.

"Kid, I'm not playing with you today!"

Lu Tianzhuang shattered Xie Chong's stone lock with a single punch, and watched as his last subordinate also left the battlefield, no longer lingering in the fight.

He reached into his waistband and a ball the size of an egg smashed onto the ground, exploding instantly.

A pungent, acrid grayish-white smoke instantly filled the entire garden of Xiaopenglai. Even Shen Qing was blinded by it and dared not move while holding his spear.

With a slight exertion, the stone bricks beneath Lu Tianzhuang's feet shattered instantly, and he shot out of the garden like a cannonball.

"Trying to run away?!"

Looking at the blurry figure on the roof, Shen Qing squinted, flipped his right hand, and "Absolute Edge" appeared in his hand, its touch icy cold.

He drew the bowstring taut with all his might, the sharp breath slicing through the smoke and creating a vortex.

At that very moment, a sudden vibration resounded within his body, as if something had been opened up.

This was a breakthrough that had already been achieved, and after a desperate struggle, Shen Qing's seventh meridian was finally opened naturally.

"Whoosh!"

An energy arrow was fired, its speed no slower than a bullet, leaving no afterimage, reaching supersonic speed.

The air exploded as the arrow passed by.

With his back to the arrow, even though he could feel its sharpness, his hair stood on end.

Lu Tianzhuang was so focused on retreating that he didn't have time to dodge and had no choice but to take the hit head-on, causing the Yuan Power Barrier to shatter instantly.

The arrow struck his back, causing a burst of blood to erupt.

He swayed, stumbled, and nearly fell off the roof. He managed to jump off, but then bumped into other teams that came to help.

They exchanged a glance.

"boom!"

The Bureau of Foreign Affairs' team acted without hesitation.

However, with his seventh-rank strength, Lu Tianzhuang easily knocked away the two eighth-rank officials from the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs who rushed up with a casual strike, and was completely unable to stop them.

A few seconds later, he disappeared down the path behind Xiaopenglai, leaving only a trail of blood.

"They still ran away—"

In the garden, Shen Qing withdrew "Absolute Edge," his brows furrowing slightly.

He managed to suppress his opponent only by relying on the power of his magic weapon, but a seventh-rank is still a seventh-rank; if the opponent wanted to escape, he still had no way to stop him.

Moreover, he felt that the other party had not used their full strength, and had no other means besides close combat.

Does this match the strength of a seventh-rank cultivator?

"Thank you for your help, Mr. Shen."

The old Taoist priest from Baiyun Temple walked over and bowed slightly. "Otherwise, our exchange meeting might become a laughing stock."

All the major religious sects in the country gathered together, and were almost wiped out by an unknown force.

If this gets out, it's a minor matter if the orthodox cultivation world can't hold its head high; those already dishonest forces will inevitably rise up one after another.

Its prestige collapsed before it could even be established.

"It's just my duty."

Shen Qing shook his head. He knew the gravity of the situation; at least these major companies were cooperating with the authorities.

"Bro, you're so handsome!"

Two young Taoist priests emerged from the crowd, their bodies stained with bruises, but their faces were full of admiration.

The two stared wide-eyed. They had thought their martial uncle was already very powerful, after all, he was a strongman from a top sect.

But I never expected there to be so many better places out there.

The ruthless character who could easily kill his martial uncle was actually suppressed and forced to flee in panic. His last arrow was particularly impressive.

"Shen Qing, when did you become such a pervert?"

Xie Chong also joined in, glaring at him, "That's a D-rank! And you were able to completely dominate him?!"

Before Shen Qing could speak, the crowd dispersed, and other support teams arrived.

There were still two people trapped, two of the ten who had escaped from the Desire Realm before. After Lu Tianzhuang was injured, he was no longer able to take care of all his subordinates.

"Major Shen, what was that group of supernatural beings all about, and what about that burly man—"

The first team to arrive to provide support was led by He Zheng, the short-haired woman whom Xie Chong had a crush on.

There was still blood at the corner of her mouth, clearly indicating that they had fought, and her eyes were full of confusion.

A guy who looked seriously injured was attacked by two E-level supernatural beings on their side, but they not only couldn't stop him, they were even injured by him.

"That's a D-grade."

Shen Qing explained that normal supernatural beings do not have his perception, and it is difficult for supernatural beings stronger than himself to sense his strength.

Grade D?

He Zheng's pupils contracted.

They are at the same level as the deputy director of their branch, and even at headquarters, they are extremely rare strong individuals.

No wonder she couldn't stop him, but—she looked at Shen Qing, her eyes filled with even more confusion.

What Major Shen meant was that he, also at the E-level, had defeated a D-level opponent so badly that the opponent fled without sustaining any injuries.

Although she couldn't believe it, the facts were undeniable and left her no room for doubt.

"He Zheng, your injuries—"

Beside her, Xie Chong noticed the blood at the corner of her mouth and subconsciously took a step forward, wanting to ask how badly she was injured.

But the other person is skilled in healing, and when the words are on the tip of my tongue, I don't know what to say.

"This is our captain; his strength is outrageous."

He awkwardly changed the subject, "By the way, do you still have any healing talismans? I'd like to buy some more."

"without----"

He Zheng frowned. He originally wanted to refuse, as his initial impression of Xie Chong was not good.

He's a rich kid, afraid of pain, and unambitious; he'd be a complete burden in the team. But halfway through her sentence, she noticed Xie Chong's gaze.

He looked around at the injured people.

"—This time it's free."

She took out several yellow talismans from her pouch and handed them over. "Also, Major Shen is indeed very strong, but that's him, not you."

After saying that, she shook her head and walked away.

"What's your relationship with him?"

Shen Qing looked at Xie Chong. Yesterday it wasn't very clear, but now it seems that it's not as simple as unrequited love.

Although the two seemed familiar, the other person clearly harbored resentment towards Xie Chong, and his words were barbed.

"It's because the first impression wasn't good."

Xie Chong scratched his head. He first met the other party during a training session at headquarters.

However, the other party was already close to the eighth rank at the time, and was a training instructor, while he had not yet been officially promoted.

In the second round of assessment, he was afraid of pain and his performance was already mediocre. Furthermore, because of a bet with her younger brother He Ying, he was forced to withdraw early.

It's no wonder the impression is bad.

Upon hearing this, Shen Qing patted him on the shoulder and said, "Good luck then."

His own emotional life is a complete mess, and he has no interest in giving advice to others.
