Just as the young man hid himself, three streaks of light flew over from the sky and landed at the bottom of the cliff. Three cultivators wearing Shui Yan Pavilion's robes appeared, and their cultivations were at the Eighth or Ninth Layer of the Blood Condensation Realm.
The only man among them went forward to investigate and said to the two women, "Senior Sisters, it seems like this kid is nearby. He suffered a blow from both of you, so he can't have gone far. I just don't know where he is hiding."
The woman in white on the left snorted coldly and said, "Junior Brother Qiu, don't forget that this Liao guy is an alchemist. How could he be lacking in good healing pills? Junior Sister Zhang and I might have injured him, but we still have to be careful of his counterattack. "
Junior Brother Qiu hurriedly smiled apologetically and said, "Senior Sister He is right. No matter what, the Heart Dissolving Pill in this kid's hands, my Shui Yan Pavilion must …"
Junior Brother Qiu had just finished speaking when he felt a cold gaze on him from the right. Junior Brother Qiu immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing again and shut his mouth in embarrassment.
Junior Martial Sister Zhang's lips twitched. Senior Martial Sister He seemed to have sensed something as she looked in the direction where Lu Ping was hiding. She then said, "Since he's not here, that Liao fellow can't have gone far. Let's wait around here and investigate."
Not long after the three of them left, there was a commotion behind Lu Ping. The young man who was hiding there had already walked over. Lu Ping cursed inwardly for being stupid. Those three were obviously putting on an act and couldn't have gone far.
However, Lu Ping's intuition told him that he had been discovered. The three of them must have mistaken him for this young man. If this young man came out now, he could clarify the truth. If the three of them didn't want to kill him, then Lu Ping wouldn't be implicated.
Obviously, this was Lu Ping's wishful thinking!
Just as the young man looked in the direction where Lu Ping was hiding and hesitated whether to expose Lu Ping's whereabouts, a loud laugh rang out. The two women and one man from the Shui Yan Pavilion had returned.
The young man's complexion changed, and a burst of annoyance appeared on his face. He knew that he had been fooled. He hurriedly took out a small cauldron, and a flame flickered in and out of the mouth of the small cauldron. The surrounding temperature rose rapidly. Although the flame inside the small cauldron wasn't a World Spirit Fire, it was still quite extraordinary.
Junior Brother Qiu sneered and said, "Sure enough, it's not out of the two senior sisters' expectations. This brat is really hiding here! Liao Hu, you weren't a match for the two Senior Sisters in the first place, and it's even more impossible for you to escape after being heavily injured. Quickly hand over the Heart Dissolving Pill's medicinal formula. If you agree to be my Mistwater Pavilion's Alchemist, then perhaps the two Senior Sisters might spare your life. "
The young man called Liao Hu sneered and said, "Qiu Liming, don't you dare assume the might of a tiger. If I were to hand over the Heart Dissolving Pill's medicinal formula to all of you, then all of you would probably turn hostile and kill me right away. Your Mistwater Pavilion wouldn't offend my Liao Clan for the sake of a Heart Dissolving Pill's medicinal formula."
Qiu Liming's face turned red after being scolded by Liao Hu for 'assuming the might of a tiger'. He flipped his hand and threw out a saber with a ghost's head. The saber grew to three feet long in the air, and he was about to slash at Liao Hu.
Senior Sister He stretched out her hand to stop Qiu Liming. She turned her head towards the direction where Lu Ping was hiding and said, "I wonder which Fellow Daoist is resting here? The Mistwater Pavilion's He Lixin and the two Junior Sisters and Junior Brothers are handling some miscellaneous matters here. If they have disturbed you, please forgive us."
Lu Ping sighed helplessly. His concealment technique was really bad. He waved his hand to remove the talismans on his body, and Lu Ping revealed himself. He coughed and said, "I originally didn't want to …"
"So it's a Third Layer Blood Condensation Realm Minor Repairs. Your courage isn't bad. You dare to enter the Seven Stars Grotto-Heaven with such a low cultivation? You really don't know the meaning of death!" When Qiu Liming saw that the person hiding here was actually a Third Layer Blood Condensation Realm red-faced cultivator, he immediately sneered.
Lu Ping's expression changed. This Qiu Liming's mouth was really stinky. Lu Ping didn't say anything else and quietly waited for the Mistwater Pavilion to deal with the situation in front of him.
Qiu Liming turned to He Lixin and said with a flattering smile, "Since it's just a Third Layer Blood Condensation Realm kid, why bother with him, Senior Sister? Just finish him off and get the Heart Dissolving Pill as soon as possible."
He Lixin didn't express her opinion. She flicked her sleeves and two faint white mist gushed out from her long sleeves. One white mist turned into a goshawk, while the other turned into a cloud rabbit. The goshawk went straight for Liao Hu's head, while the cloud rabbit's hind legs kicked towards Liao Hu's abdomen. Clearly, it agreed with Qiu Liming's words.
Just as He Lixin made her move, Qiu Liming was already walking towards Lu Ping with a sinister smile on his face. He swung his huge ghost-head saber towards Lu Ping's head.
From Qiu Liming's point of view, killing a Third Layer Blood Condensation Realm Minor Repairs Warrior was a piece of cake.
Just as Qiu Liming was about to turn around and help He Lixin attack Liao Hu, Junior Sister Zhang, who had been standing at the side without saying a word, suddenly shouted, "Careful!"
Qiu Liming heard a 'puchi' sound behind him. The ghost-head saber that was connected to his divine sense seemed to have sunk into mud. A violent killing intent rushed towards Qiu Liming's back.
Qiu Liming turned pale with fright. He leaped forward, only to hear a loud bang, followed by a stabbing pain in his buttocks. When he turned around to look, he saw that a piece of fat about two kilograms had already flown away. Only one of his buttocks was left.
Qiu Liming was howling in pain as he tried to stop the bleeding. When Lu Ping saw He Lixin attacking Liao Hu, it was obvious that he agreed with Qiu Liming's words.
Lu Ping was infuriated. Qiu Liming had carelessly used a high-grade saber mystic instrument to strike him once before turning around and leaving.
Since Qiu Liming was so arrogant, Lu Ping naturally wouldn't be polite. After blocking the ghost-head saber with Cloudy Sky, his Soaring Wing Sword attacked Qiu Liming's back.
Fortunately, Junior Sister Zhang was still vigilant. As she warned Qiu Liming, she took out a bronze mirror and placed it behind Qiu Liming.
Lu Ping's Soaring Wing Sword was blocked by the bronze mirror, but the female sword went around it. However, in the blink of an eye, there was no time to adjust and it could only cut off a large piece of Qiu Liming's fat.
Qiu Liming temporarily stabilized the wound on his buttocks, but the waves of excruciating pain made him grimace. He remembered that he had lost half of his buttocks and that he would be a laughing stock in the future. Qiu Liming was so ashamed that he howled like a ghost and rushed forward, slashing at Lu Ping like a storm.
Junior Sister Zhang frowned when she saw Qiu Liming blocking her own attack. She looked at the red-faced Sixth Layer Blood Condensation cultivator in front of her. She thought that she only managed to injure Qiu Liming by surprise. Qiu Liming obviously wouldn't make the same mistake again. Hence, she turned around and ran towards the battle between He Lixin and Liao Hu.
Liao Hu had obviously eaten some medicinal pills that increased his arcane energy, temporarily suppressing his injury. The small cauldron hovered above his head, emitting a greenish-red barrier of light, blocking all of He Lixin's attacks. At the same time, a flame spewed out from the small cauldron, and under Liao Hu's control, it clashed with He Lixin's eagle and Cloud Rabbit.
Seeing that Junior Sister Zhang was about to launch a pincer attack, Liao Hu's expression changed. He turned to Lu Ping and shouted, "Big Brother, I'm sorry for implicating you today. Big Brother, if you have the chance, run away as soon as possible. I'll try my best to delay these three for a while."
Qiu Liming shouted, "Run? Where do you think you're going? Today, all of you will die here!"
He Lixin and Junior Sister Zhang, who were attacking Liao Hu from both sides, also increased their attacks. Liao Hu suddenly felt powerless.
Lu Ping snorted coldly. His Soaring Wings Dual Swords forced the demon-headed broadsword into a corner. Suddenly, a magnificent sword light flashed from Lu Ping's hand, and sixty-four sword lights rushed towards Qiu Liming one after another.
Qiu Liming cried out in fear. The high-grade defensive magic tool in front of him was torn apart like a piece of paper. This guy was worthy of being a disciple of a major North Sea Sect. At this critical moment, he slapped two talismans on his Protective Aura Shield, which turned golden and weakened most of the sword lights. Qiu Liming quickly retreated, but Lu Ping's Qinghan Sword still left three wounds on his chest and abdomen.
Qiu Liming was already like a bird startled by the mere twang of a bowstring. Ignoring the injuries on his body, he retreated towards He Lixin and Junior Sister Zhang.
Lu Ping's killing intent rose. He flicked his finger, and two Divine Needles of Jade Blood silently flew towards Qiu Liming.
Qiu Liming fled hastily, and when he noticed something unusual behind him, the two Divine Needles of Jade Blood had already pierced through Qiu Liming's body one after the other.
Lu Ping's sudden and ruthless killing of Qiu Liming caused the two young women of the Mistwater Pavilion to be shocked, and the two of them broke away from the battle with Liao Hu and retreated to the side. Liao Hu was slightly at a loss for what to do from Lu Ping's swift actions, and after a short moment, he still stood by Lu Ping's side and said, "Big Brother, Little Brother has offended you earlier. But this Mistwater Pavilion's woman surnamed He is one of the 18 North Sea Generals, and her ability is rather extraordinary. If it wasn't for her being worried that Little Brother has a few abilities that can take me down with him, Little Brother would have become a ghost under her blade since long ago."
Lu Ping noticed that even though Liao Hu was standing by his side, Liao Hu still maintained a considerable distance. Obviously, Liao Hu wasn't sure if Lu Ping was a friend or foe.
Lu Ping paid no attention to Liao Hu and instead said to the two young women of the Mistwater Pavilion, "Do you still want to silence him?"
When He Lixin heard Lu Ping's tone, it was obviously Qiu Liming's words from before that had infuriated him, and she cursed Qiu Liming in her heart for being unable to accomplish anything but good at spoiling things, and he deserved to die.
Yet she'd forgotten that it was precisely because she'd made the first move that was equivalent to tacitly approving of Qiu Liming's words.
He Lixin knew that it was already impossible to kill Liao Hu now. Even though she had a few trump cards in her possession, and she felt that she would surely be able to kill the two of them once she utilized them, but the Seven Star Skies was filled with danger, and she still had other assignments to complete. So these few trump cards were only used to save her life in the end. Moreover, He Lixin didn't dare guarantee that the two people before her didn't have any trump cards in their possession.
He Lixin moved forward and said, "Since you've interfered, then the matter today will end here. May I know how I address you? My Sect's Junior Brother Qiu perished at your hands, and when we meet in the future, my Mistwater Pavilion will surely take revenge!"
Lu Ping sneered and said, "Mistwater Pavilion, what a great reputation!"
He Lixin didn't hope that Lu Ping would be able to leave behind his name, and when she saw Lu Ping didn't continue speaking, she put away Qiu Liming's corpse before leaving with Junior Sister Zhang.
Liao Hu couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief when he saw the two young women of the Mistwater Pavilion leave, and he was just about to say something when he saw Lu Ping's expression was still grim, and Lu Ping turned around and said, "Leave quickly!"
The Auspicious Cloud beneath his feet swelled up, and he didn't dare fly up into the sky and just swiftly left while sticking close to the ground. Liao Hu took a step into the Auspicious Cloud as well, and Lu Ping frowned as he glanced at Liao Hu. Lu Ping seemed to have understood something and didn't refuse.
