I Can See Through All Things' Information Chapter 1236 - 758: Will to Kill

"Step forward and meet your end."
Lu Qing spoke with a calm indifference, as if he were merely preparing to stomp on an insect.
The crowd was stunned by Lu Qing’s sheer audacity.
It seemed impossible that such words could come from a cultivator who only possessed a Five Tribulation Primordial Spirit Realm Cultivation.
As for Mo Tushan, a foul rage erupted from his core, leaving him instantly incensed.
"You are looking for death, brat!"
With a thunderous bellow, Mo Tushan’s massive frame lunged forward, closing the distance to Lu Qing in an instant to deliver a heavy blow.
In his fury, he eschewed the use of any Magical Treasure, intending to rely solely on the overwhelming Power of the Physical Body to grind Lu Qing into a bloody pulp with his bare fists.
"This is bad!"
Yu Jian had not anticipated that Lu Qing would provoke such immediate and intense hostility.
Detecting the thick murderous aura radiating from Mo Tushan, he narrowed his eyes, preparing to step in and help.
However, in the following breath, the treasure sword he had just raised remained frozen as he stared forward in shock.
A brilliant Sword Light suddenly erupted, bathing the entire chamber of the Seventh Pass of the Physical Body Channel in a piercing glow.
Boom!
The Sword Light struck Mo Tushan directly, sending his heavy body tumbling backward through the air.
Even upon hitting the ground, he struggled to regain his balance, forced to retreat several more steps before stopping.
"What?!"
Everyone present was paralyzed with amazement.
No one had expected that Mo Tushan, a master at the Eight Tribulations Perfection stage, would be repelled by a single strike from Lu Qing.
Mo Tushan himself was the most shocked; he stared at the deep gashes carved into the Inner Armor protecting his arms before looking up at Lu Qing with wide, unbelieving eyes.
That Sword Light had been terrifyingly sharp; had he not activated his Magical Treasure at the final moment to defend himself, he might have been cut in half.
How could a mere Five Tribulation Primordial Spirit unleash Sword Qi that felt even more dangerous than Yu Jian's? It defied all logic!
Yu Jian and Qing Xii were equally stunned by the display.
As elite Primordial Spirit Sword Cultivators themselves, they did not miss the lethal power contained within Lu Qing’s strike.
They realized that even if they exerted their full strength without resorting to their ultimate techniques, their Sword Qi would likely not surpass what they had just witnessed.
At that moment, the mystery of how Lu Qing had conquered the Sword Dao Channel was finally solved.
His mastery of the Sword Dao was certainly not inferior to their own!
"He nearly cut Mo Tushan down with one move?"
The shock extended beyond the young geniuses in the Seventh Pass; even the three Mutant Beasts within the Immortal Palace were deeply shaken.
They had been worried for Lu Qing when Mo Tushan launched his sudden assault.
To their surprise, the tables had turned in an instant, leaving Mo Tushan wounded and nearly defeated by Lu Qing's blade.
"Don't be in such a hurry; I have a few things to ask you. Once we are finished, I will grant you a proper death," Lu Qing remarked coolly, seemingly unaffected by the stunned stares of those around him.
"Brat, I didn't realize you were concealing your true strength; it seems I underestimated you. It is no wonder you reached the Seventh Pass."
Mo Tushan’s expression turned grave as he locked his eyes on Lu Qing.
That previous exchange made him realize that the youth before him, despite appearing to have only a Five Tribulation Cultivation, was anything but ordinary.
Though he couldn't fathom how the boy's aura remained so perfectly hidden, he knew the power Lu Qing wielded was a genuine threat to his life.
"It is only the Seventh Pass; it isn't a particularly challenging hurdle," Lu Qing said with a shake of his head. "Now, are you prepared to answer me?"
"What is it you want to know?" Mo Tushan asked dismissively.
Secretly, however, he began gathering a powerful force within his body.
"That Skull Necklace you wear—it was crafted from the skulls of infants, wasn't it?"
Lu Qing’s eyes settled on the macabre ornament resting on Mo Tushan’s chest.
This question caught everyone off guard once more.
They had been wondering what Lu Qing would ask—perhaps the reason for Mo Tushan’s earlier attack—but they never expected such a seemingly random inquiry.
Even Mo Tushan was surprised by the question.
After a brief moment of silence, a realization seemed to dawn on him. He stroked the skulls on the necklace, a twisted grin spreading across his face.
"So, is this why you came looking for me? For some pathetic sense of morality? You 'righteous' fools always love to hide behind such disgusting excuses."
"You are right. This necklace was indeed forged from infant skulls—nine females born during the most yin hour, and nine males born during the most yang hour. Why? Do you find it beautiful?"
Mo Tushan caressed the trophies as if they were precious jewels, his eerie demeanor sending a shiver down the spines of those watching.
"Vile demon!"
Yu Jian’s face darkened with rage as he cursed, his Sword Intent beginning to surge violently.
Qing Xii’s expression was clouded with a dark Evil Qi, and Sword Light began to dance in her hand.
She looked as though she might strike at any second.
Even Peach Fairy and Hei Ming were visibly taken aback.
While rumors of his deeds had circulated, hearing Mo Tushan confirm his depravity so brazenly was still a shock to the system.
The Black and White Temple was truly the most malevolent Sect; when it came to sheer cruelty, even the Pavilion of the Enchanting Immortal and the Netherworld Palace paled in comparison.
Everyone turned their attention back to Lu Qing, waiting to see how he would respond to such a confession.
To their surprise, Lu Qing’s face remained entirely stoic.
He simply gave a small nod. "Very well. You may die now, and the Black and White Temple shall cease to exist as well."
"You think you can take down our Black and White Temple?"
Mo Tushan let out a mocking laugh, as if he had just heard the most ridiculous joke in the world.
"Kid, you really don't know the depth of the heavens..."
But before Mo Tushan could finish his taunt, a streak of Sword Qi lunged toward him, cutting his words short.
This time, however, the Sword Qi failed to wound him.
A dark shadow of a Demon Tower suddenly manifested, wrapping around Mo Tushan and completely absorbing the incoming Sword Qi.
"Brat, I'll grant that you have some skill. As a reward for those two strikes,"
"I am going to shatter every bone and meridian in your body. I will pull out your Primordial Spirit and trap it within my Nine Abyss Demon Tower."
"I will ensure you are trapped between life and death,"
"Screaming for eternity as the Demon Fire burns your soul!"
Feeling a surge of monumental power flowing through him, Mo Tushan glared at Lu Qing with a sadistic grin.
"I see. So this top-grade Demon Artifact is the source of your arrogance."
Lu Qing looked at the dark silhouette of the tower and the oppressive energy it emitted, yet he remained completely unperturbed.
In the next instant, a Spirit Sword appeared in his grasp.
