Lu Ping thrust his sword out nine times in a row. The sword rays filled the sky like a galaxy falling from the heavens, killing three and severely injuring five of the eight people fighting around the cauldron. One had to know that those who dared to fight for the cauldron were all at least in the Eighth or Ninth Layer Blood Condensation Realm. Which one of them didn't have their eyes and ears sharp enough to scan their surroundings with their divine sense?
The eight people who were fighting fiercely for the cauldron suddenly retreated, causing the surrounding cultivators to slow down. Lu Ping took advantage of the fact that everyone was still wary of him and put the cauldron into his storage ring, then turned and ran.
The cultivators who finally reacted shouted and chased after Lu Ping. There were also many cultivators in front of Lu Ping to block him.
Whirlwinds formed one after another in Lu Ping's hands. When the seventh whirlwind was formed, a layer of blue water light spread out from the whirlwinds, turning the seven whirlwinds into seven water tornadoes that pierced the sky.
Three of the seven water tornadoes opened up a path in front, while the other four tornadoes wreaked havoc behind them. This was the head of the Zhenling Four Spirits, Water Spirit Enlightened Master, Liu Xuanling's Seventh Layer Core Forging Realm talisman. Nearly a hundred cultivators who were chasing after Lu Ping were thrown into a complete mess.
When the water tornadoes disappeared, Lu Ping was nowhere to be seen!
Lu Ping was hiding in a cave that he had asked Dabao to dig out beforehand, secretly laughing to himself!
Why did Lu Ping use Liu Xuanling's Water Tornado talisman without any hesitation? One must know that Liu Xuanling's talisman was extremely precious. Even a Core Forging Realm Enlightened Master would be severely injured under Lu Ping's sneak attack with the Water Tornado.
Lu Ping put the cauldron into his storage ring and immediately realized that it was a top-grade cauldron!
What did a top-grade cauldron mean?
As one of the top sects in the North Sea, the Zhenling Sect only had three top-grade cauldrons!
In the entire North Sea, only Xuan Ling Sect had an advanced artifact cauldron!
Lu Ping made a prompt decision and used the waterspout to quickly leave the battlefield. He wanted to make sure that the red-faced cultivator disappeared from everyone's sight before the cultivators who had come into contact with the pill furnace spread the news.
Lu Ping stayed in the cave for two hours. Under the combined effects of the Spirit-Recovering Pill, Spirit-Recovering Pill, Spirit-Raising Pill, Spirit-Raising Pill, Spirit Stone, Thousand Spirit Wine, Spirit-Gathering Praying Mat, and the Psychic Jade Pendant, he finally recovered the remaining 30% of his transcendence energy to 70%. Lu Ping turned around again and headed north. At this time, another Star Hall had opened, but he didn't know which one it was.
Just as Lu Ping took a detour and crossed a low grassy slope, two rays of light suddenly flew in Lu Ping's direction one after another.
Lu Ping quickly hid behind a tree. After thinking for a while, Lu Ping really didn't have confidence in his invisibility technique. So, he grabbed Dabao with one hand and disappeared into the ground with the other.
"Hehe, little brother, where are you going? Why don't you follow me back to my cave abode and we can be husband and wife for a few days? Isn't that great? " When Lu Ping heard this, he knew that the one chasing him was most likely a demon cultivator. Only a female demon cultivator would speak so unscrupulously.
"Shameless female demon, why don't you take a mirror and look at yourself? You're just an ugly freak. Catch me if you can!"
Lu Ping had a strange expression on his face. This was clearly Ai Shutao's voice. He didn't expect this little brother to be teased by the female demon.
Ai Shutao's "ugly freak" seemed to have hit the female demon's weak point. The female demon roared and seemed to have activated some kind of secret technique. Ai Shutao cried out in surprise. Then, a series of "ping ping pang pang" sounds could be heard. Clearly, the battle was quite intense.
When Lu Ping heard the two fighting, he didn't rush out. Although Ai Shutao lacked battle experience, with his cultivation, he should be able to hold on for a while.
As the two walked forward, the shockwaves from their battle had already reached the ground. Lu Ping's divine sense was still able to see through the thick layer of soil, but he could still see the two clearly.
Lu Ping was stunned again. That female demon was also someone he knew. It was none other than the third of the four Primordial Giant Crocodiles.
This fellow was still dressed in red, but its face was still covered. It was probably because it hadn't completed its transformation. However, its aura was strong. It was clearly at the Ninth Layer of the Blood Condensation Realm. Ai Shutao was no match for it. He was being suppressed by the female crocodile. If not for the fact that the female crocodile was playing a game of cat and mouse, Ai Shutao would have already been killed by her.
Ai Shutao could clearly see that the female crocodile was toying with him.
The female crocodile giggled and said, "Aiyaya, Little Big Brother is angry. If Little Big Brother gives the jade slip that flew out of the Alkaid Hall to me, then I will let you go. What do you say?"
The female crocodile's tone was gentle, but when Lu Ping thought of the crocodile that hadn't transformed, he broke out in a cold sweat. As expected, Ai Shutao scolded, "Shameless female demon, ugly freak, rotten tomato. Kill me if you can!"
The female crocodile was enraged by her scolding. She said in a sinister voice, "I originally planned to be your husband and wife for a few days. Since you want to die so much, it just so happens that I don't have much appetite these few days.
Ai Shutao's face turned pale. He could only grit his teeth and attack the female crocodile with all his might. The female crocodile saw that Ai Shutao's attacks were disorderly and panicked. It was obvious that her mind was in chaos.
Just as the female crocodile saw an opening in Ai Shutao and was prepared to take him down, thinking of torturing him for a few days after the Seven Star Skies closed, a sword beam suddenly burst out from the ground and slashed at the female crocodile's abdomen.
The female crocodile didn't expect that there was a person hiding under her feet. In a panic, she only had time to release her protective aura. At the same time, the clothes on the surface of her body were quickly torn, and scales shining with golden light covered her abdomen.
Although the female crocodile's protective aura wasn't weak, it still couldn't withstand Lu Ping's full-powered attack with a top-grade mystic instrument.
The protective aura around the female crocodile was shattered, and the 128 sword auras pierced into the female crocodile's abdomen, which was the weakest part. Even with the protection of the scales, there were still numerous small wounds on her abdomen, from which blood was gushing out.
"It's you! I remember you. That day, my fourth brother died because he chased after you. You killed my fourth brother! " The female crocodile was injured by Lu Ping's sword and immediately recognized Lu Ping. After all, he could take the attack of the Primordial Giant Crocodile and escape successfully. Therefore, Lu Ping still attracted the attention of others that day. The female crocodile remembered his aura, so she still recognized Lu Ping even with the mask covering him.
Lu Ping's face darkened. When the female crocodile was about to cry for help, suddenly a mass of water surged from the ground, turning into various water scorpions, water centipedes, water leeches, water lice, and water spiders, and went to the mouth of the female crocodile.
Lu Ping's "Water Control Tactics" had been practiced to the point of perfection, which surprised the female crocodile and made her shut her mouth. Lu Ping used "Spring Water Flows East" from the "Great River East Sword Tactics" to cut the female crocodile's head.
The female crocodile pulled out a whip from nowhere and shook her hand to create 72 whip shadows, which entangled on Lu Ping's sword lights. Although it couldn't annihilate all the sword lights, it made Lu Ping's Qinghan Sword deviate and cut on his shoulder, breaking the scales and cutting off a layer of flesh.
The female crocodile groaned in pain and turned to escape. However, Ai Shutao had circled behind her and formed a sharp trident with six Dharma artifacts, which stabbed into the female crocodile's face.
The female crocodile finally couldn't hold on any longer. The green mist covering her face was slowly dissipating, but Lu Ping's Qinghan Sword had already swept past, and the huge crocodile's head flew up and fell to the ground.
Lu Ping's divine sense swept over, but unfortunately, he couldn't find any traces of the Condensed Blood Bead. He could only wave his hand and put the crocodile's corpse away. After a demonic cultivator died, they would have to return to their original form.
This crocodile did have a storage pouch, but there weren't any Dharma treasures that Lu Ping was hoping for. He thought about it and realized that he was too greedy. Dharma treasures were rare and precious. Just look at how Zhenling's group of twenty people only obtained two Dharma treasures. Lu Ping now had two Dharma treasures on him, so why wouldn't he be satisfied?
When Ai Shutao saw that Lu Ping had killed the Primordial Giant Crocodile, he immediately jumped in front of Lu Ping and said excitedly, "Big Brother Lu, when the Alkaid Palace opened, I obtained a jade slip. Heh, let's take a look at what's recorded inside!"
Lu Ping helplessly looked at the jade slip in front of him and said, "Aren't you afraid that I'll steal your jade slip and kill you to silence you?"
Ai Shutao had a carefree expression and said, "Then you're not Big Brother Lu."
Lu Ping's divine sense swept over and said unhappily, "The jade slip is sealed with divine sense. I can't read it now. I'll let your elders see it when we get home and I'll tell you."
"Oh." Ai Shutao was a little dejected as he put the jade slip back into his storage belt. He only cared about snatching the jade slip and running away. He didn't know that the jade slip was sealed with divine sense.
In the distance, a few streaks of light flashed and flew towards Lu Ping and Ai Shutao. Lu Ping said, "Your big brother and the others are here." But in his heart, he secretly cursed: Why is this big brother always one step late?
When Ai Shutao saw Lu Ping appear and saw the pool of blood on the ground, how could he not know what had happened? He hurriedly said, "This time, Brother Lu has helped us a lot. This little brother is really sorry. I didn't expect that one of the two Primordial Giant Crocodiles had already advanced to the Core Forging stage. We attacked with all our might, but we could only block the Core Forging giant crocodile that hadn't used its full strength. "
Lu Ping saw that there were fewer people behind Ai Botao than before. He recalled the words of the cultivators from the Overflowing Seas Gang who had ambushed Ji Zixuan and Yin Zichu. Lu Ping asked, "Brother Ai, did you encounter an attack from the Overflowing Seas Gang?"
Ai Botao's expression darkened. "Yes. We lost a few brothers, and there are still a few who are hiding and recuperating. However, the Overflowing Seas Gang didn't gain any advantage. We killed three or four of them, and heavily injured five or six of them."
Lu Ping thought for a moment, then said in a low voice, "After the Seven Stars Temple opens, Brother Ai, you can contact Senior Sister Qi from my sect. Perhaps the sects of the North Sea will launch an operation against the Overflowing Seas Gang."
Ai Botao swung his arm down forcefully and said fiercely, "That's great! I've wanted to take care of these ghost-like fellows for a long time. However, the members of the Overflowing Seas Gang are very scattered. They're scattered among the many Loose Cultivators, so it's hard to distinguish them. Does your sect's Senior Sister Qi have any way of finding their secret gathering point?"
Lu Ping shook his head. "This little brother doesn't know."
