Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 169 If I don't stay, how will you know I killed him?

Wei Xing, as a cultivator at the fifth level of Foundation Establishment, possessed an extremely powerful physical body, far exceeding what ordinary people could imagine.

Even if mortals struck Wei Xing's body with divine weapons, they would only leave some insignificant marks on it.

This is even without Wei Xing using any protective techniques.

If he uses his protective technique, not only ordinary people, but even cultivators at the ninth level of Qi Refining cannot harm him in the slightest.

Even with such strong protection, his body was still torn apart by five bullets.

The terrifying impact sent his mangled body crashing through several walls before landing in the wasteland behind the courtyard.

With a deafening roar, the house collapsed.

"Elder Wei!"

Lu Qingzhu and Lu Cenzhong descended from the sky, exclaiming in surprise.

Upon seeing Wei Xing's miserable state, both Lü Qingzhu and Lü Cenzhong felt a chill in their hearts.

Wei Xing was completely unrecognizable from his former self. Half of his face had been torn open, revealing his skull, and one of his legs had been ripped off from the root.

For a monk, this was not fatal; what truly made Wei Xing's condition irrecoverable was the two large holes in his abdomen and chest.

This is where the cultivator's two dantian are located. It has been severely damaged and there is no way to restore it.

Lü Qingzhu and Lü Cenzhong bent down and asked, "Elder Wei, what's wrong with you?"

Wei Xing's only remaining eye revealed a look of terror and disbelief. He stretched out a hand, pointed in the direction from which the iron ball had come, and made an incomprehensible "hoho" sound.

Moments later, he went blind and took his last breath.

The head of one of the five major affiliated families of the Qingyun Sect died just like that.

Both Lü Qingzhu and Lü Cenzhong were filled with fear.

This would cause a huge uproar in the Qingyun Sect.

Still shaken, they looked towards the direction of the mountains and forests, fearing that the terrifying meteor would appear again and strike them.

It was an attack that far exceeded the speed of sound; unless they sensed it beforehand, they wouldn't know they were being attacked until the meteor was right in front of them.

Such a domineering attack left them utterly disheartened.

"Who will it be?"

Lu Cenzhong asked, "Didn't Mu Zhuosha leave?"

Lü Qingzhu said, "Impossible. I watched her leave. Otherwise, how could I have agreed to let you take action today?"

Lu Cenzhong said, "Who else could it be but Mu Zhuosha?"

Lu Qingzhu shook his head. He couldn't guess either. He couldn't imagine who in the sect could do such an explosive attack.

Lü Qingzhu said, "Let's go check it out."

Lu Cenzhong said, "Let's forget about it. Be careful not to fall into a trap."

Lu Qingzhu said, "The Wei family head died right under our noses, yet we know nothing about the murderer. Do you think we have a way to explain this to the sect leader?"

Lu Cenzhong was conflicted, but finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, but be careful. If we encounter an enemy we can't defeat, I'll hold them off while you leave quickly."

Lu Qingzhu is currently the most skilled cultivator in the Lu family and holds the highest position in the sect. Since both cannot be protected at the same time, Lu Cenzhong naturally has no choice but to sacrifice himself to protect Lu Qingzhu.

The two took to the air and sped towards the mountains and forests.

Two or three miles passed in the blink of an eye.

From afar, the two saw a transcendent figure standing on the hill.

The enemy hasn't left?

A flicker of fear crossed their eyes, and they quickened their pace.

Once they reached the top of the hill, both of them recognized the figure.

"Zhou Qing!"

Lü Qingzhu said sharply, "It's you!" Zhou Qing looked at the two calmly and said, "It's me."

Lu Cenzhong said, "You dare to kill the head of the Wei family? You have some nerve!"

Zhou Qing sneered, "Wrong. I only killed the thief who coveted my talisman. Are you trying to say that Patriarch Wei is such a thief?"

Lu Qingzhu cautiously surveyed her surroundings and said, "Zhou Qing, let's see which senior or junior brother is hiding around here."

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "You two don't need to be so careful. It's just me here, no one else."

Lu Qingzhu frowned slightly and exchanged a glance with Lu Cenzhong, both of them seeing the surprise and uncertainty in each other's eyes.

Zhou Qing's calm and composed demeanor made them feel that he was unfathomable.

Everything seems abnormal tonight.

The head of the Wei family was easily killed. When they tracked down to the place where the attack took place, they found Zhou Qing alone there, and he admitted it without any hesitation.

Nothing is normal.

This made Lü Qingzhu and his companion even more hesitant to act rashly.

Lu Qingzhu said, "You said you're the only one here, so why are you staying here?"

Zhou Qing laughed and said, "If I don't stay, how will you know who killed the person below?"

Lü Qingzhu said, "You deliberately let others know that you killed the Wei family head!"

Zhou Qing sneered, "Wrong. I just want people to know that I have the means to kill those who covet my things. If that person is really the head of the Wei family, then I can only apologize."

"Do you two senior uncles have anything else to say?"

"If there is nothing more to say, then this disciple will take his leave."

After saying that, he ignored the two of them and turned to walk towards the Qingyun Sect.

Lü Qingzhu and Lü Cenzhong exchanged another glance.

Lu Cenzhong said sternly, "You're just playing tricks! I don't care what schemes you used to kill the Wei family head, but since you've killed someone, don't even think about escaping today!"

Their goal today is to kill Zhou Qing.

Now that the head of the Wei family is dead, while Zhou Qing is perfectly fine, their operation can be described as a complete failure.

Now that Zhou Qing has confessed to killing the Wei family head, it's a perfectly legitimate reason to kill him, which can be considered as making up for some of the losses.

Lü Cenzhong and Lü Qingzhu instantly reached a consensus: Lü Cenzhong would deal with Zhou Qing, while Lü Qingzhu would keep watch from the sidelines. If anyone was lurking nearby, Lü Qingzhu would be responsible for intercepting them.

Regardless of the circumstances, Zhou Qing was merely a low-level cultivator who had been practicing for a little over two years. Even if he had indeed used trickery to kill the Wei family head, such methods could not be used casually, otherwise the cultivation system would be overturned.

As Lü Cenzhong spoke, he had already begun to construct a spell within his body.

Scorching flames erupted from his body, igniting the surrounding air. Moments later, a high-pitched chime rang out.

A huge phoenix leaped out of the flames, spreading its wings several meters wide, and pounced on Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing stood several dozen feet away from the two, seemingly stunned by the magnificent magic, and forgot to retaliate.

Lu Cen was overjoyed. He steered the phoenix and flapped its wings, rushing towards Zhou Qing.

Suddenly, a dazzling five-colored divine light shot out from in front of Zhou Qing.

This divine light seemed to steal away all the colors in the world, and even the phoenix paled in comparison.

"No, get back!"

Lü Qingzhu remained cautious and vigilant against any potential unforeseen events.

The moment the five-colored divine light appeared, he realized something was wrong and immediately warned him.

But he was still a step too late.

Or rather, the idea that one should only think of giving a warning after seeing the five-colored divine light, given its lightning-fast speed, is simply a joke.
