"You little beast! Today I will kill you to avenge my Yuer!"
Madam Zheng's eyes turned red as she stared at Lu Qing, wishing she could tear him apart.
A powerful Precelestial aura surged from her, pressing down on Lu Qing, attempting to pin him in place.
"What madness is that old woman up to again?"
As Madam Zheng's Precelestial aura emerged, other powerful entities in the city were immediately alerted.
The venomous shout, echoing through the entire city, made these powerful figures leave their residences and head towards the Zheng household.
At the same time, on the high tower.
Despite the terrifying Precelestial aura, Lu Qing remained unaffected. He swiftly drew his bow and shot an arrow at the old woman.
Madam Zheng was shocked. She didn't expect Lu Qing to be able to shoot such a powerful arrow under her Precelestial aura.
She couldn't sense the unique aura of a Precelestial martial artist from Lu Qing. Clearly, he hadn't entered the Precelestial realm yet.
Since he wasn't a Precelestial, he shouldn't have been unaffected by her aura.
How could he still unleash such a fierce arrow?
Just as the thought arose, the arrow was already before her.
The unexpected arrow caught Madam Zheng off guard, and it was too late to dodge.
Of course, she didn't intend to dodge. In front of Lu Qing, her sworn enemy, how could she show weakness?
With a hint of disdain on her face, Madam Zheng's Precelestial true qi surged, and she swung her dragon-headed cane at the arrow.
Despite the ferocity of Lu Qing's arrow, it was knocked away by the power of Madam Zheng's dragon-headed cane.
However, the force contained in the arrow was no joke.
Standing on the rooftop, Madam Zheng's footing was unstable. The tiles shattered, creating a hole, causing her to fall and raising a cloud of dust.
Madam Zheng was both shocked and furious.
She never expected to be so embarrassed by a younger martial artist in the Postnatal realm.
What made it worse was that this person was her most hated enemy.
"Hahaha, as expected of a Precelestial expert. Even that didn't kill you."
"In that case, I won't play with you anymore. If you have the guts, come and catch me!"
Lu Qing realized the arrow hadn't harmed the old woman. He wasn't surprised.
The tower was several hundred meters from the Zheng residence. If an arrow could injure a Precelestial expert from such a distance, then Precelestials would be too weak. ɽ₳ℕƟᛒÈS̈
He could have shot more arrows to embarrass her further, but it wouldn't have mattered.
Not to mention the preciousness of the thousand-folded arrows, he didn't have many left.
Moreover, he sensed several powerful auras approaching.
Not knowing friend from foe, he decided it was best not to stay here.
So, after knocking the old woman off the roof and mocking her, he leapt down, disappearing from the high tower.
"You little beast! Trying to escape?"
Madam Zheng wouldn't let Lu Qing leave.
Seeing him disappear from the tower, she was anxious and shot towards the tower.
At the same time, she used her Soul Sensing Ability to track Lu Qing's aura, preventing his escape.
However, just after leaving the Zheng residence and nearing the tower, she found Lu Qing's aura suddenly vanish.
"How is this possible!"
Madam Zheng stopped, eyes wide in disbelief.
That little beast hadn't escaped her Soul Sensing Ability's range. How could he erase his aura?
Was it a secret technique or a rare treasure?
Just as she was in disbelief, Lu Qing's aura reappeared, far from her, almost out of her sensing range.
And heading towards the city gate.
"You little beast! You can't escape!"
Madam Zheng was delighted and chased after him.
She didn't care if he used a secret technique or treasure to hide his aura. She knew that if she missed this chance, she might never find him again.
The little beast clearly saw through her plans and was extremely cunning.
If he escaped the city, he would hide and become impossible to find.
A Precelestial expert's speed was incredible. With her true qi, Madam Zheng quickly closed the distance.
But just as she was a hundred meters from Lu Qing, his aura vanished again.
This time, she didn't hesitate and kept running forward.
She guessed the little beast aimed to escape the city, so if she reached the gate first, he would have no escape.
"Interesting, have you figured it out?"
Using the Soul Talisman to hide his aura, Lu Qing noticed Madam Zheng rushing towards him, understanding her plan to intercept him at the gate.
But this played right into his hands. He worried she wouldn't be smart enough to see it.
"However, catching me at the gate won't be easy."
With a thought, the light representing the Earth Movement Talisman in his Brow Acupoint space glowed, and a light, strange force enveloped him, increasing his speed to match Madam Zheng's.
Madam Zheng was unaware of this.
Though the city was large and crowded, with many houses between them, they could only sense each other through their Soul Sensing Ability.
In reality, they couldn't see each other.
With the Earth Movement Talisman's help, Lu Qing sped towards the gate and rushed out without hesitation.
The guards and people at the gate only felt a gust of wind as a figure dashed out.
As the crowd was stunned, another figure appeared at the gate, exuding a terrifying aura that made everyone tremble.
Madam Zheng scanned the area with red eyes but saw no sign of Lu Qing.
"Could that little beast have escaped into the city?"
Just as the thought crossed her mind, she noticed the strange expressions of the crowd.
Grabbing a guard, she asked, "Did a young man rush out of the city just now?"
"Y-yes, Martial Master. Just a few breaths ago, a figure dashed out, but I couldn't see clearly."
Under Madam Zheng's icy stare, the guard trembled and stammered.
At the same time, Madam Zheng sensed Lu Qing's aura reappearing outside the city.
