Chapter 298: Chapter 153: Still Conscious? She’s Practically a Superhuman!!

Afterward, the Outer Celestial Demon possessing Gong Ning’s body once again tried to use the Qi within her to attack Lu Yun.

It mobilized all the power in Gong Ning’s body, frantically pouring the Qi of an Early-stage Grandmaster of Huajin into its hand, hoping to deliver a fatal blow to Lu Yun.

The Qi surged through her body like a tidal wave, stretching her meridians to their breaking point. The force was so immense that it even shredded the black dress she was wearing.

With several loud RIPS, the black dress, as if sliced by invisible blades, disintegrated into countless fragments that scattered to the floor, revealing the pale, bluish-white undergarments beneath.

The undergarments were as thin as a cicada’s wing, barely covering the most crucial areas and failing to conceal her impressive, trembling curves.

Unfortunately for the demon, that minuscule amount of Qi was no different from thin air to Lu Yun.

Gong Ning’s palm, filled with all of her Qi, struck Lu Yun squarely in the chest. The Qi instantly detonated, sending a shockwave rippling outward.

Lu Yun didn’t move an inch. The blow, containing the full power of an Early-stage Grandmaster of Huajin, simply dissipated into nothingness the moment it hit his chest.

Lu Yun looked at the disheveled "Gong Ning" before him, who was still struggling desperately.

His brow furrowed slightly, not because of the palm strike’s power, but because the scene before him was making him rather uncomfortable.

A nearly naked beauty flailing wildly before him... The whole situation was rather improper, no matter how you looked at it.

Despite his thoughts, Lu Yun’s right hand remained clamped firmly around Gong Ning’s. He was currently considering something.

This Gong Ning was just like all the other Martial Artists who had been possessed by Outer Celestial Demons. Once those things seized a body, it was nearly impossible to exorcise them.

The moment an Outer Celestial Demon’s possession succeeded, it became the body’s true master.

Therefore, there was no other option but to destroy the physical body.

A flicker of barely perceptible regret crossed Lu Yun’s eyes. ’This Gong Ning broke through to become a Grandmaster of Huajin before the age of thirty. Such talent is truly rare.’

’Given time, she might well have become a pillar of the Daxia New Country’s Martial Arts. What a waste... what a shame.’

...

The sounds of fighting and Gong Ning’s screams from inside the villa naturally reached the outside. Gong Jue, her companions, and the guards at the gate all heard them, their expressions changing in the same instant.

Just as they were hesitating, uncertain and about to charge in, Lu Yun’s voice suddenly echoed outside the villa’s main gate.

The message was simple: Gong Yuanshan and the women of the Gong Family could enter. All others were forbidden.

Upon hearing this, Gong Yuanshan was thrown into a complete panic. Frantic with worry for his beloved daughter, he paid no heed to any rules and, acting on pure instinct, bolted through the villa’s main gate.

Gong Jue and the Fourth Elder exchanged grave looks and quickly followed. Though not as impulsive as Gong Yuanshan, they were just as frantic with anxiety.

Gong Ning was the Gong Family’s most outstanding junior, the hope for their future. Nothing could be allowed to happen to her.

The three of them filed in one after another, their figures quickly disappearing through the villa’s gate.

Outside, only the two guards and the Second Elder, Gong Shouchen, remained. The guards stood frozen, not knowing whether to advance or retreat, and could only stare at each other in blank confusion.

And Gong Shouchen? He was so anxious he was stomping his feet on the spot. ’What in the world is happening in there!’

But Lord Lu had given the order forbidding them from entering. No matter how anxious or curious he was, he wouldn’t dare to disobey.

The moment Gong Yuanshan rushed into the villa, the scene before him made him freeze on the spot.

His daughter, Gong Ning, was nearly naked from the waist up. Only a single, flimsy piece of bluish-white undergarment, so thin it was almost transparent, barely covered her chest, leaving her snow-white skin exposed to the air.

Moreover, the garment itself had been torn in several places, its strips of fabric hanging loosely on her body.

Her hair was a mess, her face as pale as paper. She looked utterly wretched, without a trace of the dignified and elegant Grandmaster of Huajin she had been before.

And Lord Lu’s right hand was clamped firmly around one of his daughter’s small hands.

Seeing this, Gong Yuanshan rushed forward in a few large strides. He didn’t bother asking for an explanation; as a father, his first instinct was to cover his daughter’s body.

Gong Yuanshan quickly pulled off his own outer coat and hastily draped it over Gong Ning. However, it could only manage to cover her back.

From the front, the impressive, snow-white curves of her figure were still clearly visible through the gaps between the undergarment and the coat.

At this, Gong Yuanshan could only take a deep breath. His voice was tight as he asked, "Lord Lu, what has happened to my daughter?"

In Gong Yuanshan’s heart, Lu Yun was the most virtuous and respected senior he had ever met, the Stabilizing Needle of Yun Port City, the very backbone of the Daxia New Country’s Martial Arts.

A man like that would never attack a junior for no reason, much less do something so beneath his station.

Therefore, no matter what he was seeing, he believed there had to be something going on that he didn’t understand.

Gong Jue and the Fourth Elder also hurried in, and Gong Jue’s gaze swept quickly around the room.

When she spotted the hissing, corrosive pits on the floor and the distinct black water, her pupils shrank abruptly, and her expression changed drastically.

"It’s the Divine Techniques of that clan!"

Gong Jue was over one hundred and fifty years old. She had weathered many storms and was worldly and knowledgeable. Although she had never personally witnessed the Black Water Divine Techniques of an Outer Celestial Demon, they were recorded in explicit detail in the Gong Family’s archives, and the two clan Elders had mentioned them repeatedly when they were still alive.
