Lu Ping bid farewell to Daoist Gu Hun and the other four. Then, Lu Ping headed southwest, while Daoist Gu Hun and the other three headed southeast. In a moment, the two groups disappeared into the dusky world.
A slight breeze blew the smell of blood into the air, leaving only the corpses of fierce beasts on the ground. It was clear that there had been a life-and-death battle here just now.
Suddenly, he felt dazed. For some reason, two black-clothed people had appeared on the battlefield. These people wore black cloths over their faces. He didn't know what the cloth was made of, but it was able to prevent cultivators from probing with their Divine Sense.
The two black-clothed men didn't move after they appeared. They just stood there quietly, ignoring the huge bodies of the fierce beasts behind them.
A moment later, one of the cultivators suddenly said in a hoarse voice, "They're here!"
A dense fog suddenly burst in front of the two, as if blown by the wind. Then, a cultivator in light golden robes walked out of the fog.
After seeing the two black-robed cultivators, the man grumbled, "Ten Core Forging level fierce beasts. They're usually fierce characters, but they were so easily killed by someone. How am I supposed to explain this to them when I get back? Didn't you guys vow earlier that there would be no problem? Why did a cultivator named Xuan Ping suddenly appear out of nowhere? Now, not only were all the fierce beasts under my control killed, but I will also be punished when I go back. "
The black-clothed men ignored the man's complaints. One of them directly asked, "This time, it was just a coincidence. Daoist Master Xuan Ping's strength is indeed unexpected, but he usually acts alone, so he won't affect our plan too much. Instead, our follow-up actions can't be affected. Have you made the arrangements?"
When the golden robed cultivator heard the black-clothed man question him, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, but he still said, "Don't worry, everything has already been taken care of. At the very least, the late Core Forging cultivators of Hebei's cultivation world will be greatly weakened. These people are the lifeblood of Hebei's sects. When the time comes, they will feel distressed."
The three of them discussed something else. Next, the two men in black took the lead to leave. After that, the golden-robed cultivator fiercely spat a mouthful of saliva onto the ground. Next, his figure gradually grew fainter within the mist. As for the surrounding mist, it gradually condensed. A gust of wind blew and the massive ball of mist began surging into the depths of the swamp.
The two black-clothed men flew towards the depths of the swamp, but they did not notice that there were many colors in the fog around them.
One of them seemed to have a higher cultivation and quickly noticed that something was wrong. The two of them suddenly stopped and looked around. At the same time, two magic treasures suddenly appeared and revolved around the two of them.
The multicolored clouds around them gradually became thicker, and their expressions also became more and more solemn. At this moment, the surrounding multicolored clouds suddenly began to roll, pressing towards the two people in the middle from all directions.
A long shuttle suddenly pierced through the cover of the clouds and mist. By the time the two of them noticed it, the long shuttle had already pierced the relatively short cultivator.
"Junior Brother, be careful!"
The black-clothed senior brother cried out in alarm. However, he did not move to help his junior brother resist the attack. Instead, he focused all his attention on the surrounding churning clouds and mist.
He believed that his junior brother would be able to block such a sneak attack. However, the other party had set up such a formation. It was obviously not the work of one person. The other party must have cultivators hidden in the surroundings.
Since the black-clothed senior brother had to guard against possible sneak attacks from others, he naturally would not let his guard down.
The sound of a sword whistling could be heard. The black-clothed senior brother's spirit was shaken. His divine sense had already captured the magic treasure hidden in the clouds and attacking him.
The magic treasure hovering in front of him rushed into the thick fog. At the same time, a bone shield rose from his body. In the air, three light shadows appeared and surrounded the black-clothed senior brother.
Although the black-clothed senior brother did not think that the people hidden in the surroundings could catch up to him, his hundreds of years of experience had taught him the principle of a lion using its full strength to catch a rabbit. This caution had finally saved his life today. However, it had only saved his life for a moment.
The black-clothed senior brother had just raised the bone shield when his expression changed through his divine sense. Then, an ear-piercing sound rang out. The black-clothed senior brother's magic treasure seemed to have been seriously injured in one blow. He reached out to recall his magic treasure.
The surrounding scene became increasingly blurred. Something broke through the thick fog. However, it was not the magic treasure from before. Instead, a pair of flying swords had already rushed out and slashed at the shield.
"Clang, clang!" Two crisp sounds rang out. The black-clothed senior brother's face paled and he involuntarily took two steps back. His face was covered with a mask, but his eyes clearly flashed with shock.
At this moment, another object rushed out of the thick fog. It was the magic treasure that the black-clothed senior brother had shot out. At this moment, it was staggering and undulating. It was obvious that it had been seriously injured.
The two flying swords retreated after missing their attack. The black-clothed senior brother secretly cursed. However, it was already too late. The two swords returned to entangle the heavily injured magic treasure.
The two swords trembled slightly and over a thousand sword lights slashed at the magic treasure. No matter how the magic treasure dodged, it could not escape from the thousands of sword lights.
The magic treasure was immediately broken in two. The black-clothed senior brother shouted angrily and spat out an arrow of blood from his mouth.
After the two swords cut the magic treasure, they seemed to be exhausted and returned to the thick fog. At this moment, the black-clothed senior brother seemed to realize something. When he turned around, he did not know when his junior brother had disappeared.
In the thick fog, there were bursts of roars from spells. Among them was the black-clothed junior brother's fierce shout. The black-clothed senior brother could hear the anxiety in his junior brother's shout. It was obvious that this junior brother's situation was quite bad.
At this time, they were besieged!
A thought flashed through the senior brother's mind. He wanted to follow the sound and meet up with his junior brother. However, his junior brother's furious roar came from all directions, causing the senior brother to be unable to pinpoint his exact location. Clearly, the two of them were trapped separately.
However, compared to himself, the black-clothed senior brother was not worried about his junior brother. Since they were besieged, it meant that the opponent's strength was obviously inferior. However, the black-clothed senior brother was truly worried about himself, or rather, the owner of the pair of flying swords that he had just fought with.
The black-clothed senior brother had a premonition that the thick fog around them might be the work of this unknown opponent. Whether or not he and his junior brother could escape today would perhaps depend on the result of his battle with this unknown opponent.
Thinking of this, the black-clothed senior brother's heart sank. Although he did not know the result of the battle just now, it was obvious that he had suffered a hidden loss. Although that magic treasure was not his life treasure, it was one of the treasures that he often used. Therefore, after the magic treasure was destroyed, the black-clothed senior brother's mind was affected and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Sir, who are you? What grievance do you have with us? Why did you ambush us two?"
The reply he received was a huge iron seal that fell from the sky. The bottom of the iron seal was engraved with two large words: "Landslide"!
The black-clothed senior brother roared angrily and raised the bone shield around him with all his strength. Then, he shook his arms and an unstoppable force flowed down from his arms, directly pressing down on the core space.
The black-clothed senior brother's face flushed red, and a strong stream of qi gushed out from the core space, finally completely counteracting the huge force above his head in mid-air.
However, Lu Ping's methods had always been continuous, so how could a single landslide be a manifestation of his strength? A crisp "ding" sound came from the black-clothed senior brother's chest. Under the black-clothed senior brother's panicked gaze, a dark blue sword light flashed.
After a muffled groan, the black-clothed senior brother once again spilled blood from the corner of his mouth. He no longer dared to be careless, opening his mouth and spitting out a small golden fan. He held it in his hand and waved it in his hand. The golden fan suddenly grew to a length of five feet, and he gently waved it in the direction where the Waterspirit Sword had disappeared.
At the same time, a bright yellow Heart Protection Mirror slowly floated up from the black-clothed senior brother's chest. The Heart Protection Mirror suddenly expanded, once again protecting the black-clothed senior brother's body.
A gust of wind suddenly formed in mid-air, sweeping away the mist in the direction where the Waterspirit Sword had disappeared, forming an empty passage.
At the end of the passage, a layer of five-coloured gauze fluttered, completely dissolving the wind brought about by the golden fan.
"A Spirit Nurturing Treasure!"
The black-clothed senior brother exclaimed. No wonder he had been unable to break out of the thick mist.
Lu Ping's body turned into a thick mist and just barely escaped the bone-corroding wind from the golden fan. He did not expect that the other party would also have a Spirit Nurturing Treasure, and the grade of this Spirit Nurturing Treasure was clearly no lower than that of the Cloudlight Five Elements Robe.
"The Profound Gold Fan, this is the Profound Gold Fan. You are cultivators from the Profound Sect of the plain's cultivation world!"
Although Enlightened Master Gu Hun and the others were also inside Lu Ping's Cloud Radiance Five Elemental Cloak, Lu Ping didn't let the cloak block their vision. As soon as Senior Martial Brother Black-Cloak's golden fan appeared, Enlightened Master Gu Hun and the others immediately recognized it as a famous mystic treasure in Tian Xuan Sect.
As soon as Spiritual Master Gu Hun finished speaking, another loud noise was heard. Spiritual Master Liuyun's exasperated voice rang out, "If it's not the Xuan Sect, then what is it? This guy actually has a Spirit Nurturing Magic Treasure, the Xuan Divine Lightsaber. How dare you collude with the Demon Race to harm the cultivators of the Hebei cultivation world. Are you not afraid of giving the Xuan Sect an excuse to deal with you?"
A cultivator of the Supreme Profound Sect?
This was out of Lu Ping's expectations. Originally, Lu Ping thought that the two black-clothed cultivators should be cultivators of the Spirit Martial Sect. In fact, after seeing that he and the others had been plotted against by the human and demon cultivators, Spiritual Master Gu Hun had locked onto the Spirit Martial Sect.
This trip to the Abundant Jade Swamp was actually a battlefield where the various sects of the Hebei cultivation world competed with each other. The Spirit Martial Sect cultivators took the opportunity to cut off the late Core Forging cultivators of the various sects, weaken the various sects, and then join forces with the Demon Race cultivators to establish their own position in the Hebei cultivation world.
However, the problem was, what did the Supreme Profound Sect mean by interfering? Were they really not afraid of the backlash from the Hebei cultivation world and the Profound Sect taking advantage of the situation?
