Mysterious World: I Have a Lost Heavenly Court

After opening the door, Qingyun immediately stepped back and stood close to Lu Changqing, only half a step away.

Lu Changqing stood in the courtyard and asked with a smile, "Uncle Zheng."

"What have you forgotten? Why did you come in person?"

Zheng Xiu and Zheng Tian stepped over the threshold and walked in.

Zheng Xiu was carrying two wooden swords. "The swords need to be custom-made according to the Third Young Master's arm length, hand length, and other conditions."

"Weapons like these are easier to use."

"I left in a hurry just now and only finished my errand, but I didn't get to take the Third Young Master's measurements."

"Why don't you try out these two wooden swords, Third Young Master, and see if they're comfortable to use?"

Lu Changqing watched as Zheng Xiu, who was in her fifties, approached with a smile.

Logically speaking, this is perfectly normal.

But now, looking at the other person's warm smile, he felt a kind of uncanny valley effect.

I feel a chill run down my spine!

"Instead of this treacherous probing and worrying... let's use the Demon Core to find out the truth!"

"Let's see what's going on with this old man!"

Once the thought crossed his mind, Lu Changqing simply stopped pretending.

He took the Demon Core directly from his pocket and threw it in front of Zheng Xiu.

"Uncle Zheng, my friend not only gave me some powder made of special materials, but also this thing."

"Take a look, what is this?"

Lu Changqing noticed this as soon as he threw the item out.

Zheng Xiu's expression froze instantly, and her movements became somewhat unnatural.

Zheng Tian, ​​standing beside him, was even more distraught, his eyes immediately locking onto the demonic core that Lu Changqing had thrown to the ground.

Seeing this, Lu Changqing was certain of his guess.

At the same time, he felt a chill run down his spine!

Because of the original owner's memories.

Zheng Xiu was a good uncle who had played with the original owner of this body since childhood!

Now, however, he has become...inhuman?

I just had a friendly interaction with him...

"Let's do it!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Lu Changqing decisively chose to strike first!

Qingyun, standing beside him, kept her eyes fixed on Zheng Xiu.

They were also constantly listening for any instructions that Lu Changqing might issue.

The words had just begun to be spoken.

Qingyun then gave a soft shout.

Her agile figure added a touch of sharpness.

She was getting closer to Zheng Xiu, who was a head and a half taller than her!

Zheng Xiu seemed completely unprepared for Lu Changqing and Qingyun's decisive actions.

So I was stunned for a moment.

Before he could react, Qingyun had already closed in on him.

The energy contained within that small palm is terrifying.

He is very clear.

If this palm strike lands squarely, he will be completely at the mercy of others from then on!

Having already received instructions from her family, Zheng Xiu simply stopped pretending!

His stunned expression instantly turned into a ferocious look, his facial features contorted.

A thick, malevolent aura, invisible to the naked eye of ordinary people, emanated from his body!

Originally just a second-tier martial artist whose qi and blood were declining, his aura was now about to climb to the third-tier Blood Exchange Realm!

In the end, he actually advanced to the early stage of the Blood Exchange Realm!

Along with the change in aura, Zheng Xiu's appearance also changed!

His face turned ashen, two fangs emerged from his mouth, one above and one below, and his fingernails became long and narrow, turning a dark purple.

It looked exactly like a zombie!

It bears a striking resemblance to the dark shadow on Lu Changqing's chest and the shrine brought back by Lu Ri, the eldest young master of the Lu family!

"roar!"

Zheng Xiu roared and raised his arm to meet Qingyun's palm!

"Bang!"

A muffled sound rang out.

Qingyun was clearly caught off guard by this sudden change.

She stumbled back two steps, her face filled with shock. "Zheng Xiu, you..."

Zheng Xiu didn't look at Qingyun.

At this moment, his face was full of smiles, and his eyes were fixed on Lu Changqing: "Lu Ba and Li Feng'er are not here."

"Lu Ri and Lu Yue are not at home either."

"The best hands in the family haven't gathered yet... Today, we can use you as the first dish to devour the Lu family!"

Lu Changqing took a deep breath.

Countless thoughts and pieces of information flashed through my mind.

No wonder Qingyun was attacked and killed twice when she went out alone.

No wonder the original owner of this body was possessed by evil spirits when arguing with her family and when she had no one to fight with.

Now it's working...

Perhaps it is still related to the Liu and Zhao families.

But the biggest problem is... there's something fishy going on in the Lu family!

"Qingyun, don't follow this lazy bum anymore! He's utterly useless!"

"Be my maid! No, I will marry you properly!"

Zheng Tian, ​​who had been silent all along, couldn't help but speak excitedly, his eyes burning as he looked at Qingyun, appearing frivolous and lustful.

At this moment, Qingyun's expression turned completely cold.

It wasn't because of Zheng Tian's frivolous remarks.

Rather, it's because...

It turns out that the young master almost died because of Zheng Xiu!

Damn.

"boom!"

In an instant, Qingyun's robes trembled and rippled without any wind.

She slightly opened her mouth and spat out the delicate natal spirit sword that Lu Changqing had seen earlier.

Flames swirled around the spirit sword.

Zheng Xiu originally thought that with the assistance of the Holy Temple Lord's power, defeating a dual-cultivation genius with only second-tier strength should be a piece of cake.

But the moment Qingyun unleashed her full aura, his heart skipped a beat.

That's quite impressive!

This flame is incredibly strong!

Zheng Xiu was not a brainless person; he immediately realized that he could not be careless!

So he immediately said, "Zheng Tian, ​​I'll hold off this maid!"

"Hurry, kill that bastard, then go and inform his family who are hiding there, and take action immediately!"

Zheng Tian also exuded a murderous aura, his body surface changed, and his fingernails became long and narrow.

However, compared to Zheng Xiu, he is nothing.

"Uncle, don't worry!"

"I'll be quick!"

Hearing the two's seemingly indifferent conversation, Qingyun could no longer contain her anger. "Hmph!"

"go!"

The spirit sword, burning with crimson and orange flames, immediately charged towards Zheng Tian!

Zheng Tian was terrified.

Zheng Xiu stepped forward and blocked his way.

Using his powerful physique and blood energy from the Blood Exchange Realm, he forcefully blocked Qingyun's attack.

He even gripped the flaming spirit sword tightly with both hands.

"Hehe, little girl, I'm your opponent."

Zheng Xiu appeared outwardly calm, but inwardly she was filled with immense shock.

This little girl's second-tier natal spirit sword actually managed to injure him!

He was currently holding the spirit sword in both hands.

But the wound kept bleeding!

The attached flames, as if they were alive, kept drilling into the body through the wound!

How could this happen?

I don't understand, but thankfully he can still hold on.

After all, it has entered the stage of blood transfusion.

No matter what, she's not someone a mere Qi Refining Realm girl could handle.

At the same time, Zheng Xiu also made up his mind: Qingyun must die!

If the Lu family is truly to be absorbed, the Zheng family will become the new successors of the Iron Official in Heishan County.

Such child prodigies should not be allowed to exist!

Taking advantage of Zheng Xiu blocking Qingyun for him, Zheng Tian quickly moved his body and charged towards Lu Changqing!

His eyes were filled with the pleasure of killing Lu Changqing!

Seven years ago, when he was twelve years old, he came to the Lu family.

He witnessed firsthand the stark contrast between himself and this obviously untalented and lazy fellow!

If Zheng Tian were the third young master of the Lu family, he would be many times better than this mediocre person in front of him!

At this moment, jealousy and excitement had already blinded him.

He never expected that Lu Changqing wouldn't run away when faced with his attack.

"Young Master!!"

Qingyun watched as Zheng Tian bypassed her and ran towards Lu Changqing. In a moment of panic, she was about to step in to block him.

But Zheng Xiu didn't give her that chance at all!

The menacing aura drew near, and the figure, as imposing as a mountain, immediately stepped forward, blocking Qingyun's retreat!

"First, I practice martial arts; second, I practice Taoism; and I can fight to a standstill against someone who practices three..."

Zheng Xiu looked at Qingyun, who had been stopped, and a look of fear flashed across his face. "No wonder the patriarch said before that you had to die."

"If you truly master the Water and Fire Immortal Robe, or even reach the third level in both martial arts, then Black Mountain County will likely undergo a complete transformation..."

At that moment, Lu Changqing's voice came.

"Qingyun, don't worry about me! Focus on dealing with Zheng Xiu!"

Upon hearing this, Qingyun gritted her teeth in secret.

She had just sensed that after Zheng Tian released his evil aura, his aura had stabilized at the middle stage of the Skin Refining Realm.

In addition, his physique was already superior to that of ordinary people due to his years of iron forging.

Therefore, she was very worried about the young master's safety.

But now, the young master wants her to focus on dealing with Zheng Xiu...

So she chose to believe!

The Light Cloud Spirit Sword was stuck and could not move.

Because he had to control the spirit sword, Zheng Xiu was unable to free his arms.

The two were locked in a stalemate.

Qingyun's eyes flickered, her spiritual energy circulated within her body, and her small mouth opened again.

She spat out a talisman no bigger than the palm of her hand.

Personal talisman.

Zheng Xiu was slightly shaken when he saw Qingyun unleash another ability.

But before he could have any further ideas.

Suddenly, he heard a piercing scream from the side!

"ah--"

As the scream subsided, Zheng Xiu's expression changed drastically.

Qingyun's face lit up with joy!

Because that sound did not come from Lu Changqing.

Instead, it was Zheng Tian who went to assassinate Lu Changqing!

...

...

As Lu Changqing watched Zheng Tian approach, he felt no fear whatsoever; instead, he was filled with excitement and frenzy.

Not for any other reason...

The murderous aura emanating from Zheng Tian was less than that of three corpse poison rats!

He had absolutely no need to use talismans or even hide in the ancient ruins.

"In the ancient ruins, I can't beat the evil Taoist, and I can't kill the mantis in the Silent Forest."

"Can't I hit you now?"

Facing Zheng Tian, ​​who had closed to within three steps, Lu Changqing lowered his waist and abdomen, pulled his right arm back, and revealed his pure yang energy!

The fist instantly turned into a hot piece of charcoal, emitting white smoke!

Then, suddenly, with a gust of wind, he slammed into Zheng Tian's ferocious and excited face, which was already close by!

Zheng Tian watched as the fist grew larger and larger.

Only after sensing the terrifying energy above did he wake up as if he had been doused with a bucket of cold water.

But by then, it was too late for him to back down!

"boom--"

After a muffled thud, Zheng Tian was sent flying backward, crashing heavily to the ground with a piercing scream, as if he were being burned alive!

"ah!!!"

The heart-wrenching screams made Qingyun and Zhengxiu stop moving.

I turned my head to look.

Suddenly, I saw Zheng Tian rolling on the ground, his face constantly being eroded by the scalding heat.

And there was Lu Changqing, with white smoke slowly drifting from his shoulder and a cold expression.
