Chapter 522: Supercharged Palm Thunder
However, at this moment, the female cultivator spoke up, her eyes red as she said sorrowfully: "Third Uncle, it's him, it's this person who refused to help when he saw us in danger.
He even looked down on our Zhao family, causing Brother Sheng to die tragically at the hands of those three robber cultivators. You must avenge Brother Sheng!"
Lin Zhangqing was speechless. This was truly an unprovoked disaster; he didn't want to intervene in their affairs, yet he had brought trouble upon himself!
However, he wasn't afraid. If they really wanted to make a move, it was uncertain who would win, but he had already started secretly preparing what he needed!
So he said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "I have met this Senior. I wonder what business you two have in stopping me?"
The female cultivator shouted again: "Are you blind or deaf? Of course we are here to settle accounts with you. I want you to pay for Brother Sheng's life."
Lin Zhangqing didn't want to bother with this crazy woman and looked straight at the middle-aged cultivator!
Unexpectedly, this performance of his was taken in by the middle-aged cultivator. At this moment, the middle-aged cultivator was also quickly weighing things in his heart.
Because Lin Zhangqing's calm performance indicated that he had confidence in his heart.
He guessed that either this person had a very large background, large enough not to fear the Zhao family, and large enough that he himself dared not touch him.
Another possibility was that this junior had something to rely on and did not fear him, a Purple Mansion cultivator.
Thinking of so much, he did not take action immediately.
Instead, he said: "I am Zhao Zhengbing of the Zhao family. Little Friend, I wonder how I should address you, and which major sect are you a disciple of?"
Seeing that he finally spoke, Lin Zhangqing replied: "I have met Senior Zhao. This junior is Zhang Dejun, a disciple of the Qingyun Sect of Jiyun Mountain!
I wonder what business Senior Zhao has in blocking this junior's path?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhengbing felt a bit of a headache. Jiyun Mountain was not far from here; if he flew at full speed, he could reach it in two days!
Conversely, the same was true; high-stage cultivators of the Qingyun Sect, as long as they knew the specific location, could also find the Zhao family's ancestral land in two days.
So after weighing it, he still asked: "Why did you refuse to help when you saw us in danger just now, and even looked down on my Zhao family?"
Lin Zhangqing laughed secretly in his heart. After glancing at him, he said: "Senior Zhao, you have misunderstood! It is not that this junior refused to help, but because this junior knew his cultivation was low and dared not take action!
And those few robber cultivators were all cultivators at the mid-to-late Foundation Establishment Stage. How could this junior dare to intervene in the fight casually? I was afraid of bringing trouble upon myself, so I thought of leaving quickly.
It's not that this junior didn't want to save people, but my strength simply didn't allow it! Instead of all three of us dying together, it's better for this junior to keep my useful body.
When I see the Zhao family in the future, I can help them pass on the news. Perhaps, I could even help them avenge their grievances! As for looking down on the Zhao family, that is even more impossible. This junior cannot even fight a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, so how could I dare to look down on the Zhao family, which has a Purple Mansion cultivator!
Isn't that simply absurd! So Senior Zhao, you must understand this junior's hidden difficulties!"
Hearing Lin Zhangqing's explanation, the female cultivator was almost so angry that her mouth twisted.
And Zhao Zhengbing also felt that this guy named Zhang Dejun did not fear him and was even vaguely teasing him! This made his heart burn with anger. Being teased by a junior, no matter how good his cultivation was, he couldn't suppress it!
So he said directly: "I understand, but a junior clansman of my Zhao family has died because of your inaction.
You are a junior, so I won't make things difficult for you. Please come to the Zhao family as a guest for a period of time. We can talk about things when your elders arrive!" Lin Zhangqing shook his head immediately and said: "That won't do. This junior has urgent matters and cannot go to the Zhao family as a guest!
Besides, it was the robber cultivators who killed him. What does it have to do with me? If you want to blame someone, blame him for not cultivating well enough to be killed by others! For someone like this, whose cultivation is not good and who doesn't know his own strength, it serves him right to die. You can't blame it on my head!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhengbing was so angry that his eyes turned red, and he shouted directly: "You deserve to die, junior!"
After speaking, he slapped Lin Zhangqing in anger. A palm print the size of a foot rushed towards him at extreme speed! Fortunately, when Lin Zhangqing said that, he was already prepared. With a flip of his hand, a special supercharged Palm Thunder shot out as well.
Although this was the method of Palm Thunder, what was filled inside was special mana compressed from the divine ability seeds of the Great Five Elements Return to Ruins Technique.
The target was Zhao Zhengbing. 99% of his chaotic mana was compressed into this one strike.
His dantian became empty, and afterwards, he only had the thunder mana in his 98 thunder apertures left!
Sure enough, the speed of thunder techniques is fast. It arrived later but reached first. A somewhat low, muffled thunder sound exploded in front of Zhao Zhengbing.
The three layers of defense instantly activated by the premium defensive spiritual artifact at his waist were broken immediately.
And the third-grade Golden Silk Soft Armor he was wearing also only resisted slightly.
Then, a hole the size of a fist was annihilated in the center of his chest, and the same result occurred in the same position on Zhao Zhengbing's body!
As for Lin Zhangqing, because the distance was too close, he couldn't dodge and could only activate all his own defenses.
It must be said that having defensive spiritual artifacts in the thunder apertures is convenient. With a thought...
Various thunder shields, thunder protective shields, Six Paths Thunder Mirrors, and all kinds of defensive means appeared, totaling more than a dozen layers of defense.
He withstood the angry strike of the Purple Mansion cultivator. Half of these defenses on his body were broken, but he himself was completely fine.
Everything happened too fast. In just one or two breaths, the outcome of life and death was decided.
It was so fast that the female cultivator couldn't react, and so fast that Zhao Zhengbing himself couldn't believe he would die here. He was now holding on to his last breath.
He looked at the large hole in his chest and sensed the energy annihilating everything inside his body.
He only had time to say one word to the female cultivator: "Run!"
But as soon as that breath broke, he immediately fell to the ground and died! The female cultivator, only then waking up as if from a dream, hurriedly and clumsily activated her flying sword and flew towards the forest at extreme speed.
She wanted to use the cover of the forest to escape, but Lin Zhangqing was not unprepared.
He knew just now that he only had the ability for one strike, so before taking action, he had already communicated with Lin Zhangliu in his heart, asking it to help prepare for the cleanup work.
And that Zhao Zhengbing, thinking he was a senior expert, had a bit of contempt for Lin Zhangqing at the beginning.
He didn't know anything and dared to stand within a dozen zhang of him. At such a close distance, he certainly couldn't escape Lin Zhangliu's palm.
