“You are still harping about the issue of rights at this moment?”
Hearing He Meng’s explanations, Luo Qinghan’s expression became even colder, and with a flicker of her body, she sprang forward like a banshee, appearing in an instant not far from the girl in the pink dress riding the flying demon, while silver light enveloped her and gave off a freezing aura.
“You … you have attained the late Primal Core stage?”
He Meng now saw the silver light enveloping Luo Qinghan’s body, and her expression changed completely, shock and incomprehension showing on her face.
If she recalled correctly: Luo Qinghan was only twenty-two years old. Had she already attained the late Primal Core stage and become a silver Primal Core adept?
Even the man that He Meng adored, the one who was supposed to have even greater martial talent than Luo Qinghan, had only attained the late Primal Core stage when he was twenty-five years old…
How did Luo Qinghan manage to progress to the late Primal Core stage from the early Primal Core stage in such a short period of time?
He Meng could not understand it.
According to the martial talent that Luo Qinghan had previously shown, even attaining the middle Primal Core stage at this time would already be unimaginable to most people.
“By riding on your luck!”
Luo Qinghan smiled coldly, and the milk-white haze around her body became more translucent.
Swis.h.!.+
Luo Qinghan flicked out her sleeve, and a thread composed entirely of essential core whistled out straight for the spot between He Meng’s eyebrows, so fast that He Meng, who had not even attained the Primal Core stage, was completely unable to react.
“Meng’er!”
As the middle-aged man who had earlier pleaded to Luo Qinghan saw that Luo Qinghan’s first strike at his daughter was with fatal intent, his expression changed completely, and the ten-meter image of a giant tiger stretched its jaws savagely as it tensed its body, as though it was about to spring forward at any time.
“He Jing, if you dare attack, all traces of your He family will be completely wiped off the planet of Tianxuan!”
The old woman who came together with Luo Qinghan spoke calmly as she waited for a chance to kill. The giant ape being projected from her body swung its muscular arms to beat its chest faster and faster, as a cold, fierce light shone from its eyes.
“Patriarch, you must not attack!”
“Patriarch, let Young Mistress bear the consequences of the disaster she created! Don’t drag the entire family down because of her mistake.”
As the old woman’s words died away, the other two old people next to the patriarch of the He family He Jing hurriedly tried to restrain He Jing, while the giant sword and the giant flame projected from their bodies began to move, blocking the path of the giant tiger.
He Jing’s ten-meter-tall tiger and the sword and flame of the two old people were actually their dharma.
Adepts of the Dharma Laws stage could use the primal core within their bodies to utilize dharma to fight their enemies, and the higher their level of practice was, the stronger their dharma would be.
Ten-meter dharmas were the hallmark of adepts at the middle Dharma Laws stage.
The He family was considered a reputable great family on Tianxuan, and the strongest in the family were the three middle Dharma-Laws-stage adepts present, and it was because of the existence of the three Dharma Laws adepts that the He family could claim their territory on Tianxuan.
In any case, the old woman who had come here with Luo Qinghan that day was one of the only two late Dharma Laws adepts from the Luo family, which was even stronger than the He family.
Earlier, the old woman had attacked and wounded the three great middle Dharma-Laws-stage adepts of the He family after only several rounds. The difference in their ability was simply too great, and the He family was unable to resist.
“Young Mistress Luo, have mercy!”
As a cry sounded from the He family mansion below, a giant dharma image flew out of the He family mansion. It was a curved saber, which appeared protectively in front of He Meng, blocking Luo Qinghan’s attack.
At the same time, below this giant saber, the figure of an old man appeared.
“Hrmph!”
Seeing that someone had blocked Luo Qinghan’s attack, the old lady with Luo Qinghan let out a cold snort, and the thirty-meter-tall image of the ape projected from her body leaped forward with a savage look in its eyes. Although it looked clumsy, its body like a small mountain, its speed was incredible.
In an instant, before the three middle Dharma Laws adepts of the He family could react, the image of the giant ape had already rushed to the old man who had protected He Meng.
Woos.h.!.+
The giant ape lifted its fist and smashed it down, grabbing the three-meter-tall saber projected by the old man.
Cras.h.!.+
Crash cras.h.!.+
…
The giant ape grabbed the curved saber in its fist and squeezed, and the saber immediately shattered. Without the protection of the dharma, the old man burst apart from the squeeze of the giant fist, destroyed completely!
A mere early Dharma Laws adept was completely helpless before a late Dharma Laws adept.
“Fifth elder!”
He Jing’s expression changed, and the expressions of the two old people beside him grew foul.
“Fifth grandfather!”
He Meng paled, never imagining that her poor decision would harm not only herself but this old man who loved her so much and who treated her like his own granddaughter.
“He Meng, if you had come out earlier to take responsibility, you would not have brought disaster on others.”
At the moment the old man died, a look of regret flashed across Luo Qinghan’s eyes. Then her gaze turned cold once again, and the silver thread whistled out, pa.s.sing exactly between He Ming’s brows and killing her!
“Granny, let’s go.”
Just as the gaze of the old woman who had killed the old man who had tried to block Luo Qinghan’s attack became colder, and she began thinking of exacting greater revenge on the He family, Luo Qinghan spoke up. “The one who started this is dead. Let the matter rest.”
“Fine.”
At Luo Qinghan’s words, the old woman glanced discreetly at her, and the cold look in her eyes vanished and was replaced by a deep look of tenderness.
As she turned to leave with Luo Qinghan, the old woman looked back and swept a cold gaze over the three members of the He family. “If Qinghan had not been benevolent, today, I would have directly wiped out the He family!”
“Many thanks to Young Mistress Luo for showing mercy!”
The two old people beside patriarch He Jing of the He family hurriedly voiced thanks to the back of the young lady with a bitter and helpless smile on their lips.
The old woman with Luo Qinghan was too strong.
Her level of practice was already high, and her dharma that she created was incomparably powerful. There were barely any late Dharma Laws adepts who could stand up to her.
The most important thing was that such a powerful person was the granny of Young Mistress Luo Qinghan.
And it was also because of Luo Qinghan’s existence that this powerful adept would humble herself and stay with the Luo family instead of joining a faction on the planet of Tianxuan that was even stronger than the Luo family and enjoyed better prospects.
…
“Qinghan.”
After leaving the He family mansion, the old woman looked lovingly at the breathtakingly beautiful girl in green beside her. “You really don’t need me to go and bring that fellow here from Ziyun?”
“Granny, you’re talking nonsense again.”
Luo Qinghan frowned slightly and said irritably, “He and I just had a chance encounter. That time was just an accident. In the future, there will be no dealings between us.”
“Since you feel that you both will have no dealings in the future, I will make a trip to the planet of Ziyun and kill him and that will be it.”
A murderous look flashed across the old woman’s eyes and she smiled coldly. “Since he has spoiled my granddaughter’s purity, if I don’t kill him, I will not be able to vent the hate in my heart!”
“Granny!”
Luo Qinghan’s expression changed, as though she had been frightened. “Don’t be rash. I’ve told you many times that what happened between us was just an accident. If you really want to talk about it, he was the victim. You can’t just kill innocents, good people killed by mistake.”
“Ha-ha! Your granny is just kidding. What is there to be anxious about? Does he have a place in your heart?”
The old woman laughed, and the murderous look in her eyes vanished, replaced by a teasing expression. “If you really like him, I will bring him over from the planet of Ziyun, and you both can get married, become husband and wife. Seeing you get married on your mother’s behalf would be something I could tell your mother when I meet her in the underworld.”
“Granny, what nonsense are you talking about? You are only approaching five hundred years old. You still have more than a hundred years to try and make it to the Primordial Soul stage. You will definitely be able to break through!” Luo Qinghan said with some displeasure.
“The Primordial Soul stage?”
The old woman shook her head. “If I am able to see you start a family, attain the supreme Dharma Laws stage, and have some insight into the highest levels of the Dharma Laws stage before I pa.s.s on at six hundred years of age, I will have no regrets. The last time a Primordial Soul adept appeared on Tianxuan was over a thousand years ago.”
“Granny, I have confidence in you.”
Luo Qinghan looked earnestly at the old woman with a resolute gaze.
“Fine, let’s not talk about this now.”
The old woman shook her head with a smile before her expression became serious. “Girl, are you certain that that little fellow is from the planet of Ziyun?”
“Yes.”
Luo Qinghan nodded. “He is only someone from a small place on the planet of Ziyun. In that small place, he is considered a martial prodigy, but in the context of the whole of Ziyun, he can only be considered ordinary. At that time, he was at least sixteen or seventeen years old, but he had not even attained the Connate stage.”
“That is indeed strange.”
The old woman frowned slightly. “Not long after you came back, I made a special trip to that planet Ziyun to check it out. Over there, there aren’t even any Dharma Laws adepts, and it is a martially backward planet with only five small inferior quality spirit stone mines.”
“This kind of martially backward planet cannot produce someone with such n.o.ble blood.”
After her granddaughter had that happy dalliance on the planet of Ziyun with that little fellow who had not even attained the Connate stage, her rate of practice had increased by leaps and bounds, as though the happy dalliance had given a sky-high boost to her talent.
This circ.u.mstance could only have one cause: That little fellow who had enjoyed her granddaughter had been a boy.
Moreover, he was of n.o.ble blood, and his martial talent had far exceeded her granddaughter’s. This was what had inexplicably changed her granddaughter’s const.i.tution and elevated her martial talent.
