On the way back to the side courtyard, Lu Ping had to pass through a forest. After Lu Ping entered the forest, he took out a talisman from his storage pouch and slapped it on his body. Lu Ping's figure blurred for a moment, then disappeared without a trace.
The Invisibility Talisman was the simplest kind of Invisibility Talisman that could be crafted by a Blood Refining Realm cultivator. It could only conceal one's body. If a Blood Condensation Realm cultivator was here, they would be able to find out where Lu Ping was in the blink of an eye. Even an experienced Blood Refining Realm cultivator could find traces of Lu Ping through the traces left behind.
Not long after, the silhouettes of two cultivators could be seen shuttling through the cover of the rocks and trees. They were well-hidden, but their speed was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the forest where Lu Ping was.
The two stopped. One of them was the burly cultivator that Lu Ping saw in the market, and the other was as thin as a bamboo pole.
The tall and thin cultivator looked left and right and said, "This person walked here and the traces disappeared. It seems that he has already discovered us and erased the traces he left behind."
The burly cultivator fiercely said, "He's so young, but he's quite smart. I've asked around, this brat's talisman crafting is quite famous in the market. I originally planned to capture this brat to make talismans for everyone and interrogate him about Zhenling, but I didn't expect him to slip away."
The tall and thin cultivator frowned and said in a displeased tone, "Don't talk nonsense. We were only hired by someone to gather information. If it wasn't for the fact that we urgently need someone proficient in talisman crafting, why would we make a move on Zhenling's disciple? Zhenling isn't someone our Cultivator Sharing Union can afford to offend."
The tall and thin cultivator smiled embarrassedly and said no more. The tall and thin cultivator carefully looked at the traces around him and said with uncertainty, "Maybe this person didn't leave and only used an Invisibility Talisman to hide in the forest."
The burly cultivator said disapprovingly, "So what if he's right next to us? That brat is just an Eighth Layer Blood Refining Realm Minor Repairs Cultivator. He's only been cultivating for a few years, yet he dares to attack us, an Eighth Layer Blood Refining Realm cultivator, a Ninth Layer Blood Refining Realm cultivator, and two other cultivators?
As soon as the burly cultivator finished speaking, he felt a fluctuation of spiritual energy behind him. He turned his head in shock and saw a huge seal rising into the air. It grew to several meters in size and smashed towards the burly cultivator at lightning speed. There were two large characters engraved on the bottom of the seal — Landslide!
The tall and thin cultivator shouted, "Not good!" and quickly shot out a high-grade talisman towards the exposed Lu Ping. He formed a hand seal and muttered an incantation. It was the "Bursting Flame Technique". At the same time, a flying sword flew out from his storage pouch and continuously injected arcane energy into the flying sword. The tip of the sword was pointed at Lu Ping with the intention of killing Lu Ping in one strike. This was the method of besieging the besiegers to rescue the besiegers.
A red light flashed on Lu Ping's body. A top-grade blood talisman turned into a "Vajra Shield" and stood in front of Lu Ping to protect him. At the same time, another top-grade talisman turned into three sharp swords and flew towards the burly cultivator.
Lu Ping was determined to kill one of them first!
The burly cultivator was worthy of being someone who often rolled on the edge of life and death. Although he was careless and was suddenly attacked, he still took out a bottle-shaped magic tool. It spouted out a huge wave and rushed towards the "Landslide".
However, the "Landslide" still broke through the huge wave and with a loud "Dang" sound, the bottle-shaped magic tool was knocked away. Affected by this, the burly cultivator spat out a mouthful of blood and was seriously injured.
The three sharp swords flew through the air. The burly cultivator didn't care about the chaotic arcane energy in his body. He took out a high-grade talisman and slapped it on his body. It turned into a wooden wall in front of him. At the same time, he took out a staff-shaped magic tool. Before he could use it, the wooden wall in front of him was pierced by the sharp swords.
The three sharp swords didn't stop and directly stabbed towards the burly cultivator. The burly cultivator's face immediately paled. He cried out "top-grade blood talisman" and waved his staff to shatter two of the sharp swords. The third sword pierced through his heart under the horrified gaze of the burly cultivator.
The lanky cultivator already had a bad premonition when Lu Ping ignored his attack and continued attacking the burly man. But the arrow was already nocked on the bowstring and he didn't have time to think. The Bursting Flame Spell in his hand turned into a fireball and flew towards Lu Ping. The burly man's cry for help sounded and the lanky cultivator's heart sank. However, the flying sword mystic instrument in his hand still followed closely behind the burly man and attacked Lu Ping.
Sure enough, the "Vajra Shield" formed by Lu Ping's top-grade talisman was hit by the lanky cultivator's high-grade talisman and the "Bursting Flame Technique" of the "Technique" realm. Only then did it dissipate.
Immediately after, a bronze mirror expanded to the size of a few feet. With a loud bang, it blocked the flying sword Dharma Artifact that was flying over.
In just an instant, the burly cultivator was dead. Lu Ping and the lanky cultivator were in a stalemate. The hunter and the prey had switched roles.
The lanky cultivator glared at Lu Ping viciously as if he wanted to eat him alive. He said, "You're so young, but you're so calculative. What a vicious heart!"
Lu Ping smiled indifferently and said, "If I didn't do that, wouldn't I have become the one lying on the ground?"
"Good, good!" The lanky cultivator's heart trembled. This was Zhenling's territory after all, and his opponent wasn't weak. His killing intent faded and he wanted to retreat. He said, "I've experienced your methods. The Cultivator Sharing Union will definitely repay you!"
Having said that, he wanted to retreat.
"You want to leave? Not so easy!" Lu Ping shouted and attacked the lanky cultivator with the mystic weapon in his hand.
The lanky cultivator did not back down. He blocked Lu Ping's attack with his mystic weapon. At the same time, he scolded, "Brat, even if you have two mystic weapons, you can't stop me if I want to leave, let alone your Eighth Layer cultivation!"
Lu Ping did not answer. He directly cast "Landslide" and smashed it at the lanky cultivator.
The lanky cultivator cursed under his breath. His flying sword also flew into the air to block the "Landslide".
The [Landslide] was heavy and powerful, but it consumed a lot of arcane energy. Although the flying sword wasn't as strong as the [Landslide], it was more agile. Not to mention, the lanky cultivator was a Ninth Layer Blood Refining Realm cultivator, so he was able to withstand Lu Ping's [Landslide].
After fighting for a while, the lanky cultivator decided to retreat. Putting aside the fact that this Zhen Ling Sect kid's magic power was so strong that his Level 8 cultivation was able to fight against the lanky cultivator's Level 9 cultivation, the two of them were fighting near Zhen Ling Sect. There was no telling if any Zhen Ling Sect cultivator would pass by and the lanky cultivator would die.
The more the lanky cultivator thought about it, the more he wanted to retreat. There were a few times he wanted to retreat, but Lu Ping persisted. It was as if he knew what the lanky cultivator was thinking and was waiting for the Zhenling cultivator to pass by.
It seemed that it was impossible to retreat in one piece. The lanky cultivator was determined. After making up his mind, dozens of talismans flew out from his storage pouch. There were high, middle, and low grade talismans. They all flew towards Lu Ping, causing Lu Ping to panic. He quickly added two top-grade blood talismans on himself and dodged several times. Only then did he barely block the lanky cultivator's attack.
Lu Ping looked up and saw that the lanky cultivator had already retreated in the direction he came from. Lu Ping waved his hand and a top-grade talisman turned into a fine needle and flew towards the lanky cultivator's back.
The lanky cultivator used a backhand spell to block the needle, but he did not stop. Even if he was injured, he had to leave.
A few of the needles that were not blocked by the spell nailed into the lanky cultivator's back. The lanky cultivator grunted and staggered. Then, he ran even faster.
Lu Ping watched as the lanky cultivator ran further and further away. He gave a snort and thought, "You think you can run?"
A small boat suddenly appeared beneath his feet. It was the flying magic artefact that Lu Ping had obtained in the Grand Competition. His magic power surged and the small boat flashed with white light. The distance between him and the lanky cultivator was reduced by half.
The lanky cultivator was secretly cursing Lu Ping when he suddenly felt a gust of wind behind him. He turned around and saw a large seal covering the sky above him, pressing down on him.
