I Can See Through All Things' Information Chapter 1233: 756: Each Strike a Kill, Step by Step Encroaching (Part 2)

Furthermore, they were convinced that their master would not hold it against them even if he were present.
“The fourth level is more deserted than I anticipated.”
On another front, Lu Qing’s form had already materialized within the fourth level of the Sword Dao Channel.
To his surprise, the population of this level was sparse, with only a few individuals scattered about—far fewer than he had expected to find.
As Lu Qing emerged, the few experts in the Primordial Spirit Realm immediately cast wary glances in his direction.
However, their suspicion quickly turned to astonishment upon recognizing his face.
They remembered this man well.
Lu Qing initially intended to bypass these cultivators, but his attention was caught by one figure clad in a black and white Daoist robe, causing him to stop abruptly.
“Are you a member of the Black and White Temple?”
The other Primordial Spirit Realm cultivators shifted their focus toward the disciple, their eyes filled with peculiar interest.
It was common knowledge that the disciples of the Black and White Temple were at odds with this Five Tribulations Cultivator.
After all, Lu Qing had made a fool of Mo Tushan, leaving the Black and White Temple as a target of public mockery for quite some time.
The disciple from the Black and White Temple let out a cold laugh. “Brat, I’ve hunted for you everywhere, only to have you walk right into my hands. Let’s see how you intend to flee this time!”
The disciple was practically beaming with joy.
He had never dreamed he would stumble upon Lu Qing inside the Sword Dao Channel.
Years ago, he had accompanied Brother Tu Shan into the Physical Body Trial Channel, but his innate talent had failed him, and he was expelled after only reaching the fifth level.
This time, he decided to test his luck in the Sword Dao Channel, where his skills were more refined, hoping for a better outcome.
Finding Lu Qing here was an unexpected windfall.
“If I can seize this brat and deliver him to Brother Tu Shan, the reward will be immense!”
The eyes of the Black and White Temple disciple glittered with greed and excitement.
Possessing a cultivation at the peak of Six Tribulations Perfection, he was a mere breath away from the Seventh Tribulation of the Primordial Spirit. In his mind, his power completely eclipsed that of Lu Qing.
The enclosed space of the fourth level was small, which would severely restrict Lu Qing’s erratic and unpredictable movement techniques.
This meant the Five Tribulations youth would have no room to maneuver!
With these thoughts racing through his mind, the disciple didn't waste a second. He immediately unleashed a Black Bone Treasure, sending it hurtling toward Lu Qing.
Yet, before his artifact could even cover half the distance.
A blinding light filled his vision.
A brilliant Sword Light struck first, slicing through the air and sweeping across his frame before he could react.
The disciple's body stiffened and began to shake.
His primordial spirit was snuffed out instantly as his life force drained away.
A thin crimson line appeared on his brow, rapidly splitting down the center of his face.
His body toppled backward, cleaved perfectly in two, while a thick scent of blood filled the air.
Even the Black Bone Treasure, a high-level Spiritual Artifact, let out a piercing wail before snapping into two useless shards.
Under the weight of Lu Qing’s overwhelming Sword Qi, this disciple at the peak of Six Tribulations Perfection had been obliterated.
In a single strike, both his body and spirit were destroyed, along with his treasure. He had fallen completely.
“What?!”
The remaining Primordial Spirit cultivators were shaken to their core, nearly jumping out of their skins in terror.
The power of Lu Qing’s sword was simply too monstrous.
A Six Tribulations Perfection expert had been unable to survive even a heartbeat against him, slain in one blow.
The chilling killing intent radiating from that sword strike felt like being plunged into an abyss of ice, nearly paralyzing their primordial spirits with fear.
Having dealt with the Black and White Temple disciple, Lu Qing continued to pay no mind to the others.
He claimed the Storage Magical Treasure from the corpse and walked straight to the Trial Sword Stone. Setting down an Array Plate, he began to immerse himself in the Sword Intent contained within.
The other Primordial Spirit experts, despite the weakest among them being at the Six Tribulations Initial Realm, sat perfectly still.
None dared to breathe loudly, let alone move, fearing that any disturbance would draw the attention of Lu Qing’s lethal blade.
Luckily for them, the suffocating tension didn't last long.
After a brief moment, Lu Qing, who had been meditating with his eyes shut, suddenly snapped them open and unleashed a surge of Sword Qi.
The strike hit the Trial Sword Stone, leaving a three-inch deep mark. Immediately, a pillar of light descended, wrapping around him.
As Lu Qing’s image faded a few seconds later, the others finally let out the breath they had been holding.
“That monster is finally gone.”
“How can a person be that terrifyingly strong?”
“If he possesses such power, why did he ever bother running from Mo Tushan?”
“Wait... did he just clear the level in only fifteen minutes?!”
At that final shout, the other cultivators froze as the realization hit them, their eyes bulging in shock.
“He cleared a level in fifteen minutes again? And a six-tribulation Primordial Spirit Perfection couldn't even survive one hit from Ah Qing?”
Within the Immortal Palace, the Old Azure Dragon and his companions were at a loss for words.
Lu Qing’s feats were systematically dismantling everything they thought they knew about Cultivation.
Whether it was conquering the fourth level’s test in a quarter of an hour or a Five Tribulations cultivator slaughtering a Six Tribulations expert, it was beyond logic.
The word ‘genius’ seemed insufficient to describe him.
They could only watch in silence, wondering if Lu Qing had even more shocking surprises in store.
The Old Azure Dragon and the others began to suspect that Lu Qing might not actually require their intervention this time.
Given the strength he was currently exhibiting, even if he couldn't outright defeat Mo Tushan, he certainly possessed the power to defend himself.
Only Little Li remained unruffled, showing no sign of shock.
To the creature, Lu Qing was capable of anything.
Back in the Golden Core Realm, he had been able to fight across an entire major realm against a Primordial Spirit cultivator.
Slaying a six-tribulation expert while at the Five Tribulations level seemed perfectly natural to it.
It would have been more surprising if Lu Qing had failed.
“Oh? The fifth level is empty?”
Lu Qing arrived at the fifth level of the Sword Dao Channel.
He scanned the area, finding it totally abandoned. There wasn't another soul in sight.
The only things present were seven teleportation arrays glowing on the floor.
“Did they switch to different channels, or has no one else made it this far yet?”
Lu Qing recalled seeing similar arrays when he was in the Array Channel.
At that time, he was too preoccupied with solving the arrays to investigate them.
Seeing them now, he briefly considered exploring the other paths.
However, he quickly dismissed the idea.
His primary objective for this journey was to locate Mo Tushan.
Each level of the trial had a specific time limit. Given the current timeline, unless Mo Tushan had been knocked out in the Physical Body Channel, he would have moved far beyond the fifth level by now.
Wandering into other channels would only be a waste of time.
Lu Qing centered his mind, triggered his Superpower, and focused his gaze on the Trial Sword Stone.
“At this rate, Ah Qing is going to overtake Mo Tushan and the rest very soon.”
Inside the Immortal Palace, the Old Azure Dragon observed Lu Qing’s progress in comprehending the Sword Intent and spoke up.
“True. Mo Tushan and Yu Jian have only just reached the seventh level. With the speed Ah Qing is moving, he’ll catch them shortly, even if his pace slows down a bit,” the Black Bull noted.
“But since Ah Qing is in the Sword Dao Channel, he’ll likely run into Yu Jian and that girl, Qing Xii, first. They’ve been on high alert since the last incident. I wonder if they’ll end up fighting him.”
“That is a concern. It would be better if they didn't fight. If they could cooperate, taking down Mo Tushan would be much simpler.”
The Old Azure Dragon and his peers felt a sense of unease.
Yu Jian and Qing Xii had become extremely paranoid after Mo Tushan’s assassination attempt.
If Lu Qing suddenly appeared in the seventh level, their knee-jerk reaction might put him in grave peril.
They were, after all, two Eight Tribulations Primordial Spirits. Yu Jian, in particular, was a genuine Sword Dao prodigy whose power rivaled Mo Tushan’s.
His mastery of the Sword Dao was exceptional, even by the standards of the previous era.
If those two teamed up against him, Lu Qing would find it incredibly difficult to hold his ground.
“Ah Qing has moved on to the sixth level.”
Ming Feng suddenly announced.
