Just as Lu Ping had effortlessly killed a mid Dharma adept, Tian Fan and Tian Xue, the two Laozu's, had also made their move. The two of them combined their strength to rival that of a Great Practitioner, blocking four Dharma adepts in one go. Although it was a difficult task, it was enough for them to do so.
The hundred and eight leaves in Jiang Tianlin's hands were released simultaneously, breaking through the mid Dharma adept's defense in one go. Immediately after, Jiang Tianlin raised both of his hands and performed a few techniques before pushing his palm forward. The Friar's chest suddenly caved in, and he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
Withered Wood Seal!
Lu Ping thought to himself. This should be one of the great powers that Jiang Tianlin and Laozu had recently mastered. It was one of the supreme powers recorded in the Ying Tian Sect's techniques.
The Friar had been severely injured by Jiang Tianlin, but he did not die. On the contrary, he took the opportunity to retreat as he spat out fresh blood. He shouted, "This is troublesome, let's retreat first!"
The two companions who were blocked by Tian Fan and Tian Xue had actually been easily killed and injured by the other two. They had long been frightened out of their wits. Without the other person's reminder, they had already shaken off Tian Fan and Tian Xue and were about to retreat behind the other person.
Although Lu Ping and Jiang Tianlin had pretended to be weak and relied on their opponent's carelessness to succeed in their sneak attack, it was still beyond their abilities to kill four mid Dharma adepts in one go. However, the four of them did not want to stay here any longer, so they turned to leave.
However, at this moment, a horrified scream came from afar. When the four of them turned to look, they saw a flash of light in the night sky. The first retreating cultivator had already been split into two from head to toe. He was dead.
Lu Ping's eyes narrowed. He could see clearly that although the flash of light was so short that it was almost covered by the night sky, it was undoubtedly a flash of sword light.
"You fellows sure are bold. You dare kill even cultivators from Water Crystal Palace? If you killed them, then so be it. Why didn't you kill the rest of them as well? Are you not afraid that they will find out about you fellows in the future? As far as I know, there are several people in the Crystal Palace who are good at it! "
The voice rang out unhurriedly in the ears of the four of them. Lu Ping's Spiritual Force swept out in all directions, but he did not discover anyone hiding nearby.
"Eh, what a strong divine sense! I was almost discovered by you!"
When the voice rang out, a figure appeared in the night sky. His clothes were old but clean, and he looked like a middle-aged scholar who had fallen from grace. He didn't have Jiang Tianlin's elegant temperament, but he seemed to be the center of the world at all times, the darling of fate.
"Sky Splitting Sword Saint!"
"Xiao Baiyu, why are you here!"
The four Crystal Palace cultivators immediately let out despairing cries. However, they still tried their best to scatter and flee into the night sky.
"What a joke. Do you think you can control where I, Old Xiao, want to go?"
The middle-aged scholar waved the long sword in his hand casually in all directions. It didn't look like he was waving the sword, but more like a weak scholar waving the sword in his hand like a fire stick.
However, it seemed like a casual wave of the sword, but the four mid Dharma adepts who were fleeing in all directions drew a downward arc in the air. Before they could hit the ground, the four of them were either cut in half vertically, cut in half at the waist, or cut in half diagonally from their shoulders to their buttocks.
Lu Ping sucked in a breath of cold air. His opponent's swordsmanship was truly domineering and sharp!
The middle-aged swordsman casually killed the four mid Dharma adepts from the Crystal Palace before stopping to look at the four of them. Lu Ping and the others couldn't help but hold their breaths. In front of such a person, even Lu Ping felt that if this person wanted to kill them, the four of them would most likely die here.
"It's you. We haven't seen each other for so many years. You've become a middle-aged man, but you're still so elegant. Your level of practice has improved a lot!"
To Lu Ping's surprise, the white-robed practitioner who had arrived in front of the four of them suddenly smiled and said this.
However, at this time, Lu Ping noticed that Jiang Tianlin Laozu, who was beside him, seemed to be acting strangely.
He heard Jiang Tianlin Laozu take a deep breath and say, "I've been recognized by you. What's the use of improving quickly? The distance between us is still getting further and further!"
The middle-aged practitioner, Xiao Baiyu, smiled and did not comment. He turned to Lu Ping and said, "Just now, the juniors of my sect were rude. Take that item as a token of my apology to you all!"
Although Lu Ping and the others did not fight for the item that the first group of practitioners had thrown over, instead giving it to the Crystal Palace practitioners who had followed after, the practitioner who had just died under Lu Ping's hands had snatched the item. After this person died in the hands of Lu Ping, the treasure naturally fell into Lu Ping's hands.
Lu Ping took out the treasure from the dead practitioner's storage artifact and showed it to Xiao Baiyu, "Senior, why do you say that? This item was obtained by this junior from the Crystal Palace practitioners. Naturally, it belongs to my sect. Since when did it become your sect's item? "
"Ha?"
Xiao Baiyu looked at Lu Ping and his aura suddenly surged. In an instant, his entire person was like a peerless sword that had sworn to split the heavens and earth.
Tian Fan and Tian Xue Laozu both secretly moved behind Lu Ping. If Xiao Baiyu wanted to harm Lu Ping, it would definitely be a life and death struggle. Only Jiang Tianlin's expression remained calm from start to finish and did not make any movements.
Under the pressure of Xiao Baiyu's aura, Lu Ping's expression remained calm from start to finish. Only his eyes were constantly flickering with bluish-purple and cyan radiance. He looked at Xiao Baiyu fearlessly.
"Brat, you have chosen the wrong path. Are you willing to learn the sword from me, Old Xiao?"
Xiao Baiyu's eyes finally revealed a trace of admiration. He didn't care about Jiang Tianlin, Tian Fan, and Tian Xue Laozu as he asked bluntly.
Lu Ping's lips moved and finally spoke. He smiled faintly, "Senior, how do you know that junior has chosen the wrong path?"
Xiao Baiyu said, "As a sword cultivator, one should be courageous and diligent. There is nothing outside of the sword. No matter what obstacles there are in front of me, I will use my sword to cut them down. How can I be like you, who used all kinds of methods at once. You might have too many, but your heart is not sincere!"
Lu Ping said again, "Senior thinks that junior is a sword cultivator. How can I be considered a sword cultivator?"
Xiao Baiyu was slightly stunned. He then laughed and said, "So that's how it is. It seems like you have found your own path. It seems that Old Xiao has made an unnecessary move. However, please forgive Old Xiao for speaking bluntly. If you continue on this path, you might be invincible under the heavens. However, you will never reach the peak of the sword!"
Lu Ping said, "Thank you for your advice, Senior!"
"What a pity, what a pity!"
The aura around Xiao Baiyu's body dissipated in an instant. It was as if nothing had happened, showing that he had perfect control over his body.
"It's a pity that you have such outstanding sword skills. It's a pity that you aren't a pure sword cultivator. It's a pity that I didn't meet you a hundred years earlier!"
Speaking up to here, Xiao Baiyu turned to Jiang Tianlin and said, "I heard that your sect's situation has been pretty good these few years. It seems like you have the potential to rise again. Originally, Old Xiao thought that it was just a flash in the pan. However, from the looks of it now, it isn't completely hopeless. You just need to be careful of the six Holy Lands and the Yuwen Clan!"
As Xiao Baiyu finished speaking, he suddenly waved the sword in his hand. Before the four of them could recover from their shock, they heard a scream coming from the darkness. Immediately, he signaled to Tian Fan and Tian Xue, Laozu, before turning around and walking in the direction he came from. In an instant, he disappeared into the night.
The four of them were all immersed in the aura released by Xiao Baiyu. Surprisingly, it was Lu Ping who was the first to break free and asked, "He is one of Skyrend's people?"
Tian Fan Laozu let out a long sigh and looked at Jiang Tianlin who was beside him. He said, "This person is the most outstanding second generation cultivator of Skyrend. He is known as the 'Sky Splitting Sword Sage' by the entire world of practitioners. He is one of the strongest practitioners in the world of practitioners."
Lu Ping hesitated for a moment before asking, "I have checked. Although this person's aura is perfect and he is already at the peak of the late Dharma stage, he has not gone through the third Thunder Trial and achieved the Pure Yang Dharma. What right does he have to be called the strongest person in the world of practitioners?"
Jiang Tianlin Laozu sighed faintly and said, "That year, when he had just gone through the second Thunder Trial and advanced to the late Dharma stage, he personally went to Zi Yang Palace and killed the Pure Yang Sword Celestial of Zi Yang Palace, Lu Taiqing Laozu. After that, he calmly retreated. No one in the entire Zi Yang Palace dared to stop him!"
Tian Xue Laozu also said, "This matter was widely spread among the Dharma Laozu at that time. However, with the power and influence of Zi Yang Palace, this matter was not widely known. However, no one in the world dared to look down on the name 'Sky Splitting Sword Sage'!"
Lu Ping was stunned by what Jiang Tianlin Laozu had said. If it was said that being able to kill a veteran Pure Yang Laozu who had just advanced to the late Dharma stage was shocking enough, then being able to retreat from Zi Yang Palace, one of the five holy lands of the central mainland, was beyond shocking!
However, Lu Ping suddenly thought of something and asked, "That's not right. According to what I know, there are only two great practitioners in Skyrend now, but there is no one named Xiao Baiyu Laozu among them."
Jiang Tianlin Laozu said, "When he returned to the East Sea from Zi Yang Palace, he announced that he had severed all ties with Skyrend, and Skyrend subsequently announced that they had expelled him. After that, he defeated a few famous practitioners from the Crystal Palace in the East Sea. Then, he began to travel the entire world of practitioners. In the past two hundred years, he has not returned to the East Sea. Now that he has appeared on Qianyuan Island, I don't know what kind of storm he will create in the world of practitioners. Now, his sword is even more terrifying!"
Jiang Tianlin Laozu said, "After he returned to the East Sea from Zi Yang Palace, he announced that he had severed all ties with Skyrend, and Skyrend subsequently announced that they had expelled him. After that, he defeated a few famous practitioners from the Crystal Palace in the East Sea. Then, he began to travel the entire world of practitioners. In the past two hundred years, he has not returned to the East Sea. This time, he has appeared on Qianyuan Island. I don't know what kind of storm he will cause in the world of practitioners. Now, his sword is even more terrifying!"
