Lu Ping allowed Senior Brother Zhao's attacks to whittle down the Water Repellent Shield until only a thin layer was left. Just as the shield was about to break, Lu Ping turned his Soaring Swords into a monstrous wave and trapped Junior Brother Wang in it. It was obvious that Lu Ping was like a cornered beast.
Just as the two saw that Lu Ping was about to be surrounded and killed by everyone, a huge metal stamp suddenly appeared in the sky and smashed towards Junior Brother Wang's defensive shield.
Although it was a surprise attack, and no one expected Lu Ping to be able to control three high-grade magic tools at the same time with his Third Layer Blood Condensation cultivation, they had seen Lu Ping's' Landslide 'when they were chasing after Lu Ping. Hence, even though Junior Brother Wang was shocked, he didn't panic too much because he had Senior Brother Zhao, who was at the Late Blood Condensation Realm, to help him.
A loud sound rang out, and Junior Brother Wang's defensive shield wailed after being smashed by the 'Landslide'. It turned into a palm-sized wooden shield and landed in Junior Brother Wang's hands. The shield was already covered in cracks, and Junior Brother Wang spat out a mouthful of blood.
Another crisp sound rang out, and the water wall formed by Lu Ping's Water Repellent Shield was also shattered by Senior Brother Zhao's attack. Fortunately, the Water Repellent Shield was a high-grade magic tool. Even though the water wall was broken, the magic tool wasn't seriously damaged. As long as Lu Ping used his arcane energy to nourish it for a period of time, it would recover.
Lu Ping raised his hands and threw out two Water Escape Talismans, barely blocking Senior Brother Zhao's attack. A blood-red mid-grade magic tool flew towards Junior Brother Wang, who was trying his best to block Lu Ping's dual swords.
Junior Martial Brother Wang was already injured after Lu Ping broke through his defense. Now, he was barely able to block Lu Ping's attacks. Seeing Lu Ping launching another mystic instrument at him, Junior Martial Brother Wang hurriedly took out another defensive mystic instrument to block the attack. Although this mystic instrument didn't cast any spells, its speed was still extremely fast.
Senior Brother Zhao waved his hand and broke Lu Ping's two Water Escape Talismans. When he saw Lu Ping's blood-red magic tool flying towards Junior Brother Wang, his expression changed, and he hurriedly warned, "Careful, dodge, don't block."
Senior Martial Brother Zhao's warning was too late. Just as the two mystic instruments collided, a loud explosion rang out. Lu Ping's blood-red mystic instrument suddenly exploded, shattering Junior Martial Brother Wang's backup mystic instrument into pieces. The fragments of the mystic instrument flew everywhere.
Junior Brother Wang bore the brunt of the attack. Although he tried his best to block, he was still hit by two of the fragments. One of them broke his ribs, and the other scraped off a piece of flesh from his thigh. Junior Brother Wang grimaced in pain and howled miserably.
Lu Ping's Soaring Wing Sword took this opportunity to break through Junior Brother Wang's obstruction. As Junior Brother Wang screamed in despair, Lu Ping's sword pierced through his heart.
At this moment, Senior Brother Zhao's wind bag blew out a black wind. Lu Ping only had enough time to use a Water Manipulation Spell to create a curtain of water on the surface of the sea. However, it was still unable to block the black wind's attack.
Lu Ping suddenly felt his whole body shiver. When this black wind blew on his body, although he had the protection of the Spirit Snake Armor, Lu Ping still felt a chill from his bone marrow. At the same time, his five viscera and six bowels also felt uncomfortable. He knew that he had been plotted against.
Lu Ping quickly circulated his magic power in his body. After a round of inspection, he knew that due to the protection of the Spirit Snake Armor, his injuries were not serious. As long as he had some time, he could use his magic power to expel the cold poison from his body. Although it was inconvenient, Lu Ping could use his profound magic power to suppress it. For a while, there would not be any problems.
The reason why Lu Ping killed Junior Brother Wang was because he wanted to stop Junior Brother Wang from using his spirit pet to track him. Now that Junior Brother Wang was dead, his spirit pet would not survive either. Lu Ping used his Soaring Wing Sword to create waves, blocking the strange wind from Senior Brother Zhao's wind bag. Then, he turned around and fled into the depths of the Demon Sea.
Just as Lu Ping was about to activate his Magic Cloud Wrap to escape, a gray light had already landed in front of Lu Ping. A flying sword was flying towards him. Lu Ping had no choice but to stop and use the Goose Feather Blades that he hadn't used for a long time to knock the flying sword away.
The light flashed and landed in front of Lu Ping. It was Xuan Ling Sect's Zhang Weiqing with a pale face. He had obviously used a secret technique to stop Lu Ping before the other cultivators could.
Although the crowd didn't know what kind of grudge Zhang Weiqing had with Lu Ping that made him risk his life to stop Lu Ping, now that someone was standing up for him, they were more than happy to enjoy the fruits of their labor.
Lu Ping, on the other hand, had a rough idea of Zhang Weiqing's motives. After the trip to Fei Ling Island, Zhang Weiqing lost half of his loot in the treasure competition with Zhen Ling Sect and was demoted to a cultivator awaiting punishment.
Originally, this treasure competition was decided by the two sects, so Zhang Weiqing's loss wasn't a big deal. He could only blame the fact that Fei Ling Island's harvest was the largest ever, and even the Core Forging cultivators present were greedy. What was worse was that the appearance of two Spirit Treasures made Zhang Weiqing fall into the abyss. In a fit of rage, Feng Xu-Dao directly threw Zhang Weiqing into the group of cultivators awaiting punishment and made him a death warrior of Xuan Ling Sect. This was also the reason why Zhang Weiqing hated Lu Ping to the bone.
Lu Ping didn't expect Zhang Weiqing to use such an extreme method to cut off his escape route. Lu Ping's original plan was to kill his way out before the others could surround him. This was also the reason why he took the risk to kill Junior Brother Wang so that no one would be able to track him.
But now, Lu Ping was trapped like a turtle in a jar. Naturally, his heart was filled with shock and anger.
Looking at the expression on Lu Ping's face, Zhang Weiqing's heart was filled with the thrill of revenge. He laughed and said, "Lu Ping, to think that you would have such a day!"
At this time, Lu Ping was already surrounded by the people who had rushed over. Lu Ping didn't say a word, but the Soaring Wing Swords circled around him. Today could be said to be the biggest calamity of his life. Surrounded by enemies, he could only fight to the death. Although he still had some tricks up his sleeves, whether he could escape or not depended on the will of the heavens.
At this time, a wave of applause came from all directions, and an indistinct voice rang out, "Not bad, not bad. We, the Overturned Oceans Gang, originally planned to return to the buffer zone to rest for a while, but who would have thought that we would run into such a good show. The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. I wonder if we can join in the fun?"
Everyone panicked, and even Lu Ping's heart sank. Senior Martial Brother Zhao shouted, "Who is so sneaky? Don't you know that it's the North Sea Mistwater Pavilion, Xuan Ling Sect, and the other sects? Quickly show yourself!"
The voice sounded out once more, and it chuckled lightly as it said, "Mistwater Pavilion? Xuan Ling Sect? What's so great about that? I've never heard of it before. Since you want to see my Overturned Oceans Gang, then let's fulfill your wish. "
As soon as the voice finished speaking, there was a wave of arcane energy on the surface of the water. The scenery around them twisted and shattered, but the scenery on the surface of the sea didn't change much. Outside of the cultivators surrounding Lu Ping, another twenty cultivators dressed in different attire appeared, surrounding Lu Ping, Senior Martial Brother Zhao, and the rest. The five cultivators in the lead were all Late Blood Condensation cultivators with immense arcane energy.
This was an illusion array with a large area of effect. Everyone was inside the array and had been fighting for a long time, but they didn't realize that they were already in danger.
Senior Martial Brother Zhao lowered his head and pondered for a moment. Suddenly, he understood something and said, "You must be the demon race's Mysterious Sea God pirate force that was rumored by the cultivators who went out to sea. You must be the same as us, here to disrupt the order of Zhen Ling Sect's ocean domain. Since we have the same goal, we shouldn't clash with each other and let Zhen Ling Sect take advantage of us."
He pointed at Lu Ping and said, "This time, we're here to hunt down Zhenling's spy. If we let this spy escape, Zhenling will definitely hunt us and your gang down. If your gang is willing, we can give this Zhenling cultivator to your gang as a gift for our first meeting. What do you think?"
The leader of the five Late Blood Condensation cultivators glanced at Lu Ping and chuckled. "Interesting. An Early Blood Condensation cultivator was actually chased by more than ten cultivators who are far stronger than him. From the looks of it, the pursuit wasn't short either. One of them was even killed right in front of a Late Blood Condensation cultivator. How interesting."
Senior Martial Brother Zhao and the others who were chasing after Lu Ping blushed. On the other hand, Lu Ping's heart tightened. He felt that this person's tone wasn't friendly.
As expected, the leader's tone changed and his killing intent soared. "In that case, all of you can die now. This way, Zhenling won't receive any news. Even Shui Yan Pavilion and Xuan Ling Sect will think that all of you died in Zhenling's hands. Isn't that great?"
As soon as the leader finished speaking, the surrounding cultivators from the Overflowing Sea Sect used their magic tools and spells to attack the people who were being surrounded.
Three of the five Late Blood Condensation cultivators went to surround Senior Martial Brother Zhao.
Senior Martial Brother Zhao shouted anxiously, "Everyone, split up and break out of the encirclement. Every single one of us who can escape counts. Report to your respective sects what happened today. Investigate the Overflowing Sea Sect thoroughly and avenge us!"
The leader's expression changed when he heard Senior Martial Brother Zhao's words. He knew that he had said something wrong. He sneered. "Do you think you can still live today?"
The Overflowing Sea Sect had the absolute advantage. Usually, two or three of them were chasing after one person. The sound of magic tools and spells exploding could be heard everywhere. The screams of cultivators dying could be heard from time to time.
When the Overflowing Sea Sect's cultivators attacked, Lu Ping forcefully activated his damaged Water Repellent Shield and fled towards the depths of the Demon Sea. Lu Ping didn't dare to turn back. When the five late-stage Overflowing Sea Sect cultivators appeared, they were all standing on the surface of the sea to the west, cutting off everyone's path of retreat. Lu Ping didn't want to fight against late-stage Overflowing Sea Sect cultivators.
However, while Lu Ping was hiding from the late-stage Overflowing Sea Sect cultivators, he didn't expect that one of the late-stage Overflowing Sea Sect cultivators would come looking for Lu Ping.
Lu Ping managed to kill the mid-stage Blood Condensation Junior Martial Brother Wang despite being attacked by Senior Martial Brother Zhao. This shocked the Overflowing Sea Sect cultivators who were hiding at the side.
Even though the Overflowing Sea Sect cultivators looked down on the North Sea cultivators, they still sent a late-stage Blood Condensation cultivator to chase after Lu Ping.
Lu Ping groaned inwardly. He knew that his performance was too heaven-defying, which attracted the attention of the Overflowing Sea Sect cultivators. However, his life was more important now. He couldn't care less. With a flip of his hand, he tossed a blood-red mid-grade magic tool behind him and slapped a Water Escape Talisman on his body. Instantly, his body seemed to transform into a stream of water, flying across the sea.
