Lu Qingshan from the beginning created such an impression for the Evil Venerable.
Then he gradually increased the number of Heavenly Punishments.
From summoning one Heavenly Punishment at a time, to two at a time, until finally five at once, this was his way of telling the Evil Venerable that he had plenty of confidence and many more Heavenly Punishments.
If he had directly told the Evil Venerable this, the Evil Venerable certainly wouldn't have believed it.
But instead, Lu Qingshan did not try to intimidate the Evil Venerable through words; he even seemed to agree with his assumptions, then struck him down with his actions.
This made the Evil Venerable increasingly unable to figure out Lu Qingshan, starting to lose confidence.
The final touch was when, after the Evil Venerable decided to retreat, Lu Qingshan released another Heavenly Punishment.
...
The cultivators of Jingjian City, who survived the catastrophe, were filled with pain, anger, and great depression.
