Three rays of light streaked across the sky, surrounding Daoist Xuantian in the middle.
Daoist Xuantian and Jian Ming had already separated. Jian Ming retreated to Junior Martial Brother Wang, protecting him behind him.
Seeing Junior Martial Brother Wang sneer behind Daoist Jian Ming, Daoist Xuantian turned to look at the other late stage Core Forging cultivators.
Daoist Xuantian frowned, then laughed, "The Ying He Sect's dojo was destroyed and less than 10% of its disciples survived. It's impossible for five late stage Core Forging cultivators to appear at once. Three of you must be from the Gu Clan. It seems that Changhe Laozu has really joined the Gu Clan, but it seems that the Gu Clan doesn't trust Changhe Laozu too much."
Zhenren Jian Ming's face darkened. He scoffed and said, "Don't try to sow discord. The reason we set this up today is to surround and kill you. It's also to give the Dharma Adepts behind you a warning. If the sects you've established leave Ying Mountain, then so be it. Otherwise, today's incident will repeat itself again and again until your Adepts become a loner!"
Reverend Jian Ming's words caused Reverend Xuantian's expression to change. Reverend Jian Ming's words were very clear. With Old Ancestor Guo Tianshan's abilities, it was impossible for anything that happened here to escape his notice at such a close distance from the Ying Shan Immortal Academy. However, they still dared to openly surround him. Clearly, it was because Old Ancestor Guo Tianshan was being held back by someone else.
When Junior Martial Brother Wang saw Daoist Xuantian's expression change, he laughed sinisterly, "Do you understand now? But it's too late!"
With that, he turned to the three people surrounding Daoist Xuantian and said, "Brother Gu, please help us kill this person!"
The three people silently nodded. Three magic treasures revolved around them, forming a simple array formation that shot towards Daoist Xuantian.
Daoist Master Xuantian's strength could be considered top-notch among cultivators of the same level, and he could even compete with ordinary eighth-layer Core Forging Cultivators. However, the cultivation bases of the three opponents were all at least eighth-layer Core Forging Cultivators. Moreover, the auras emanating from their bodies were like billowing waves. Clearly, they were not mediocre among eighth-layer Core Forging Cultivators.
Even Daoist Master Xuantian would find it difficult to deal with such a person, but now there were three of them. Furthermore, there was also Daoist Jian Ming, who was also at the eighth stage of Core Forging. Daoist Master Xuantian's heart sank bit by bit.
Six of the twelve Log Thorns pierced into the ground and disappeared, while the remaining six circled around Daoist Master Xuantian to protect him.
This was a dead end, but how could Xuantian Zhenren be willing to give up!
The leader of the three Gu Clan cultivators sneered disdainfully and said, "It's just a struggle of a cornered beast!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a series of crisp sounds rang out. Six Log Thorns suddenly pierced out from the ground, attacking the three separately.
However, the three cultivators from the Gu Family were already prepared. Although the power of Daoist Master Xuantian's six Log Thorns surprised the three of them, the Gu Family cultivators were not weak. Not to mention, it was difficult for two fists to fight against four hands. Even if Daoist Master Xuantian managed to seize the initiative, the three of them still managed to suppress him and counterattack at the same time. With just one strike, three of the remaining six Log Thorns around Daoist Master Xuantian were knocked away, one of his wooden shields cracked, and his protective astral energy was on the verge of collapse.
Junior Brother Wang was shocked that Daoist Master Xuantian was able to withstand the combined attack of the three Gu Clan cultivators, but he saw that Daoist Master Xuantian was clearly an arrow at the end of its flight. He continued to ridicule him, "Xuantian, just give up. How can you be a match for the three Gu Clan cultivators? If you resist stubbornly, you will die today. No one will be able to save you!"
"Oh, what if I join in?"
A voice suddenly rang out nearby. The Gu Clan cultivators, Daoist Jian Ming, and the others were surprised, but there was no trace of panic on their faces. It was obvious that the person who spoke was nearby. When they had chosen this place as the location for the trap, they had already scouted the surrounding area. Even with Dharma Power Laozu hiding nearby, they still did not discover that someone had already snuck into the area without anyone knowing.
However, it was precisely because the Gu Clan cultivators, Daoist Jian Ming, and the others knew that Laozu was nearby that they did not show any signs of fear even though they were surprised.
When Daoist Master Xuantian heard this person's voice, his face lit up with joy. However, when he saw the five late Core Forging adepts, the joy on his face disappeared without a trace. Especially the three Gu Clan cultivators in front of him. They were clearly proficient in a combined attack technique. The power of this technique was similar to Zhenling Tian Xue and Tian Fan, the two mid Dharma Adepts, joining forces to defeat Laozu. It was definitely not as simple as the combined strength of three late Core Forging adepts.
A young man, who looked to be about twenty years old, suddenly appeared in the sky above the battle!
This time, not only were the three Gu Clan cultivators, Daoist Jian Ming, and the others shocked, even Daoist Master Xuantian revealed a look of surprise.
If one were to say that this person was able to sneak into the battle without being discovered, then although his strength was amazing, it was only his ability to hide his tracks.
But now, this person was clearly above the battle between the two sides. The unhindered divine techniques, the vibrations caused by the flying swords, and the danger caused by the magical weapons made it almost impossible for cultivators to hide their tracks. However, the truth was right in front of their eyes. Not only did this young cultivator succeed, if he did not reveal himself, it was likely that no one would be able to detect his presence.
If that person did not take the initiative to speak, but instead suddenly attacked from above, then they would be caught off guard …
The moment this person appeared, the three Gu Clan cultivators retreated ten feet together, expanding the encirclement once again. However, they still surrounded the person who just appeared, including Daoist Master Xuantian. At the same time, they discovered that the person who just appeared was only at the eighth layer of Core Forging. Excluding the injured Junior Brother Wang, they still had four eighth layer Core Forging experts on their side. As such, what was there to be afraid of?
Daoist Master Xuantian looked at the person above his head with a trace of astonishment. He could tell that the person who just spoke was Lu Ping. However, when this person appeared, Daoist Master Xuantian saw an unfamiliar face. This was somewhat thought-provoking. Why was Junior Brother Lu not willing to reveal his face in front of others?
The person who just appeared was Lu Ping, who had rushed over after receiving Guo Tianshan's order from Laozu. Naturally, the expression on Daoist Master Xuantian's face did not escape his eyes. He looked meaningfully at the forest not far behind Junior Brother Wang and the others and said, "Senior Brother, I'm not too late, am I?" Daoist Master Xuantian followed Lu Ping's gaze and did not see anything. However, he was a quick-witted person. Not seeing did not mean that he could not guess.
Daoist Master Xuantian immediately remembered what Jiang Tianlin and Laozu had told him before he came to the Central Plains.
At that time, when they escaped from the Yingtian Temple, they were ambushed by the Dharma adepts of the Gu family and the three factions of the Ying Shan. Thus, it was obvious that these people had seen Lu Ping's face. At that time, the Core Forging adepts of the three factions who had participated in the encirclement of the North Sea adepts had all died under the surprise attack of the Xiumo and Shura adepts. Only the Dharma adepts had survived.
Furthermore, Lu Ping had deliberately hidden his face. Coupled with that meaningful gaze just now, Daoist Master Xuantian's junior immediately broke out in a cold sweat. The other party had a Dharma adept hidden among them!
Lu Ping saw a flash of shock in Daoist Master Xuantian's eyes and knew that Daoist Master Xuantian had already understood what he meant. However, he smiled and said, "Senior Brother, how about you let me have the three adepts of the Gu family? I have just finished my training and want to test my skills. I'll have to trouble you to deal with the two dogs of the Gu family! "
Daoist Master Xuantian knew that the junior brother in front of him was stronger than him and could only be described as unfathomable. Seeing that Zhou Donghuang had taken on the strongest of the three Gu brothers, he was grateful. However, he also knew that he was no match for the three Gu brothers. Thus, he did not argue and said directly, "These three have a combined attack technique. Junior Brother, be careful!"
The three Gu brothers saw that Lu Ping had appeared and was talking cheerfully, as if he did not care about the others. The leader of the three looked angry and said in a low voice, "How arrogant of you! Although the three of us can't say that we are invincible among our peers, we have never been defeated by anyone below the Dharma adept level. Today, let's see what you have up your sleeves!"
The three Gu brothers were not the only ones who were angered by Lu Ping's arrogant words. Daoist Jian Ming and Junior Brother Wang were also angered by the two "dogs" that Lu Ping had mentioned.
"You've gone too far!"
Daoist Jian Ming summoned his own treasure and suddenly turned into a beam of light in the sky that shot towards Lu Ping. The beam of light fluctuated, clearly the same as Junior Brother Wang's blood-red light. However, Daoist Jian Ming's spell contained a layer of mist and did not have Junior Brother Wang's bloody aura. It was clear that Daoist Jian Ming's mastery of this spell was far greater than Lu Ping's.
Daoist Master Xuantian's twelve wooden thorns suddenly shot out towards the beam of light in the sky. He shouted, "Your opponent is me!"
The two spells, with the help of their respective treasures, clashed against each other. For a moment, there was no clear victor. Daoist Jian Ming turned to Junior Brother Wang and shouted, "Junior Brother, lend me a hand! Let's end this quickly!"
After Daoist Master Xuantian's wooden thorns pierced his thigh and shoulder, Junior Brother Wang had been hiding outside of the battlefield. Now that he heard Daoist Jian Ming's shout, although he was unwilling, he did not refuse. A blood-red light appeared in his hand and shot towards Daoist Master Xuantian. However, compared to before, this red light was clearly much smaller.
However, just as the two sides clashed, a deafening sword chime, accompanied by an unparalleled aura and a sharp killing intent, suddenly burst out from Lu Ping, who was behind Xuantian Enlightened Master.
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Looking at the shocked faces of the Gu Clan's Three Heroes, the Autumn Dew Fairy Sword that had been dormant for 4,000 years in Ying Tian Dojo finally regained its divine might in Lu Ping's hands. Lu Ping let out a long laugh as he pointed at the trio and shouted, "Come and die!"
