This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable-Chapter 1578 - 43: Heavenly Punishment 4

Moreover, the Heavenly Punishment contains Tribulation Force, even with the Indestructible Demon Body, it cannot heal the injuries in a short time.

"Don’t be afraid, that was really the last time!" Before the Evil Venerable could regain his senses, Lu Qingshan was already swinging the Lieque again as he spoke.

Another Heavenly Punishment descended.

But this time, it wasn’t just one Heavenly Punishment.

As Lu Qingshan’s voice echoed, the fourth Heavenly Punishment simultaneously blasted out from the Lieque.

Two Heavenly Punishments fell towards the Evil Venerable.

The consecutive appearance of two Heavenly Punishments instantly shook the Evil Venerable’s heart. As he felt a strong crisis, he couldn’t help but doubt his own judgment.

However, the most important thing right now was facing these two Heavenly Punishments.

Gasping for breath, the Evil Venerable formed a seal with both hands, and the Emperor Shadow that had lost its arms immediately moved from behind him to the front, using the Soul Shadow to block the two Heavenly Punishments.

This clash almost caused the Emperor Shadow to completely collapse, and the Evil Venerable spat blood continuously as he retreated.

In this battle up to now, ever since Lu Qingshan used the Heavenly Punishment, he has been repeatedly wounded.

"There must be a limit, I will bet that you can’t execute such attacks many more times!" The Evil Venerable was so angry that he almost lost his sanity, with his chest heaving and his mind filled with disbelief and refusal to accept.

His intent to kill Lu Qingshan was already at an unprecedented intensity.

In the next moment, the Evil Venerable’s body flickered, and the shattered Emperor Shadow unexpectedly merged with his body.

With the Emperor Shadow’s reinforcement, the Evil Venerable’s momentum further rose, reaching his strongest state.

He let out a low roar, charging towards Lu Qingshan with his injured and broken body.

As expected from a Demon Race Venerable, not giving up until the end...... Seeing the Evil Venerable’s persistence, Lu Qingshan was not surprised.

If he could be frightened off by four Heavenly Punishments, how could the Evil Venerable have become one of the Northern Barbarian Demon Clan’s ruling Demon Venerates?

Lu Qingshan squinted his eyes.

He still had fourteen Heavenly Punishments, neither too few nor too many.

With fourteen Heavenly Punishments, he was confident he could seriously wound the Evil Venerable, but he wasn’t likely to kill him, let alone save Lingye Island.

Thus, he had to use a circuitous strategy, employing a different approach.

Lu Qingshan had already come up with a plan.

And the most crucial part was to absolutely not reveal his bottom line.

Therefore, Lu Qingshan smiled, showing extreme calmness on his face, while his eyes were supremely composed.

"As expected from the Evil Venerable, you weren’t frightened at all; you saw through it directly." Lu Qingshan "agreed" with the Evil Venerable’s guess, and simultaneously raised his right hand.

The fifth, sixth, and seventh Heavenly Punishments erupted suddenly!

Not only was the Evil Venerable shaken by the appearance of three consecutive Heavenly Punishments, but Cang Xiu and Ming Yu’s hearts were also trembling.

Everyone present was certain that Lu Qingshan’s Heavenly Punishment couldn’t be infinite, but..... none could guess where the limit truly lay.

This was a secret only Lu Qingshan knew clearly.

The Evil Venerable frequently probed in hopes of uncovering the truth from Lu Qingshan.

But now, from every angle, the number of Heavenly Punishments Lu Qingshan could unleash was unimaginably high.

Three Heavenly Punishments arrived.

The Evil Venerable’s body soared like a kite with broken strings, flying transversely, constantly spewing fresh blood.

However, in just an instant, he stabilized his body, with an intense determination in his eyes, once more charging straight at Lu Qingshan.

"I don’t believe it, I absolutely don’t believe it! If you can, then come again!" he roared defiantly.

"I’m out, really out." Lu Qingshan teased with a smile.

Lightning shone brightly as the eighth, ninth, tenth, and eleventh Heavenly Punishments blasted forth.

In the instant four Heavenly Punishments erupted simultaneously, Lu Qingshan put away his smile and said coldly: "Evil Venerable, if you don’t retreat with your army today, I cannot guarantee the safety of Lingye Island, or even my own life in the face of so many demonic cultivators; but what I can guarantee is...."

"You’ll definitely be buried along with Lingye Island!"

For a Fifth Tribulation Realm cultivator to threaten a top-notch Demon Venerate like this seemed laughable.

Yet paired with the four Heavenly Punishments of earth-shattering power, it compelled the Evil Venerable to feel fear and awe.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

All four Heavenly Punishments landed on the Evil Venerable.

This time the Evil Venerable was blown back several thousand feet, with his body charred black, and the injuries reached a level that affected his essence. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

"How can it be like this?" The demon cultivators were all shocked; continually wounded, the Evil Venerable was in danger, nearly subdued.

It was just a Fifth Tribulation Realm cultivator, yet he forced the Evil Venerable to this extent.

What kind of Magic Artifact was it, that possessed such Divine Power, deeply shocking every Spirit?

"Just how many times can he execute such an attack!" The agony on his body was overshadowed by inner madness and repression; Evil Venerable truly couldn’t determine Lu Qingshan’s limit now, and a hint of hesitation arose in his heart.

Just as Evil Venerable’s mind wavered once more, Lu Qingshan’s calm and teasing voice resonated again.

"No more, really no more, I’ve reached my limit, not a drop remains. Rest assured."

The twelfth, thirteenth, fourteenth, fifteenth, and sixteenth Heavenly Punishments erupted, like they were given out for free, following Lu Qingshan’s voice.

A series of five Heavenly Punishments descended.

This was the smallest lie Lu Qingshan ever told.

Because after these five Heavenly Punishments, of the Lieque’s eighteen Heavenly Punishments, only two remained, truly leaving not a drop.

Lu Qingshan was quickly reaching the end of his resources.

"Retreat, everyone retreat!" With the pressure of these five Heavenly Punishments, the hesitation in the Evil Venerable’s heart dissipated completely.

He no longer doubted that Lu Qingshan was feigning to scare them away, but concluded that Lu Qingshan intended to slaughter the Venerate today.

He no longer wished to probe.

Because, to him, it was utterly meaningless.

If he were to die, even if he killed Lu Qingshan today and seized Lingye Island, what would it mean?

Not to mention exchanging lives, even getting a severe injury affecting his future cultivation wouldn’t be worth it.

The Evil Venerable was a decisive person; once he gave up probing, he unhesitatingly ordered a full retreat.

However, even if he abandoned the attack on Lingye Island, those five Heavenly Punishments that had been unleashed like water, were impossible for even Lu Qingshan to retract.

The five Heavenly Punishments emitted light, dazzling and blinding, pressing in from the front, unavoidable.

The electric light was terrifying, destroying everything.

Pu!

At this moment, blood splattered.

The Evil Venerable was covered in scars, badly mutilated, with blood constantly oozing from his body.

He coughed up blood heavily, his physical body endured the mighty impact, directly flying ten thousand feet backward.

But this time, he no longer returned, instead fleeing in a panic.

"Lu Qingshan, you just wait, the humiliation of today, I will definitely repay a hundredfold in the future!"

The Evil Venerable’s figure vanished in mere moments, but his resentful voice lingered in the realm.

Seeing even the Evil Venerable fleeing in panic, the rest of the demonic cultivators, shivering with fear, looked at the Lieque in Lu Qingshan’s hand as if they’d seen a ghost, then all employed their Escape Techniques, transforming into demonic shadows and flying away in the direction the Evil Venerable fled!
