After separating from the two black-robed cultivators of the Supreme Profound Sect, the demon cultivator turned into a cloud of mist and hid in the mist of the swamp, flying towards the depths of the Lush Jade Swamp.
As they flew deeper, the fog in the swamp became thicker and thicker. When the cold wind blew, it carried a gust of dense white fog. The fog suddenly shrank, as if it was frozen by this gust of cold white fog.
The mist dispersed and the beast cultivator walked out. He spread out his Divine Sense in all directions, but after a long time, he found nothing. He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "This is strange. There has never been such a thick mist in this swamp, and how can the mist become so cold?"
The demonic cultivator couldn't figure it out and was about to turn into mist again to escape, but he suddenly found that the cold white mist that was rushing toward him just now had suddenly turned into a layer of ice, and his escape technique was completely broken.
At this time, the beast cultivator naturally realized that he had been plotted against. He shouted angrily, "Who is it, come out!"
As soon as his voice fell, a clear shout came. There was a trace of immaturity in the voice, but there was also a trace of majesty from the bloodline, "Kill!"
A long halberd turned into a thick mist and slashed towards the beast cultivator.
"Bloodline pressure, a top rank race!"
The beast cultivator screamed with a trace of fear. He hurriedly took out a pair of curved blades shaped like the fangs of a giant beast and blocked the long halberd. Only then did he see that the other end of the long halberd was actually held in the hands of an extremely disproportionate eleven or twelve year old boy.
The beast cultivator grinned and said, "So it's just a top rank race that hasn't reached adulthood yet. Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you and hide your bloodline?"
The boy didn't speak, but his small face was tense. He put away the long halberd in his hand, then stabbed forward again, and continued to shout, "Kill!"
The beast cultivator once again blocked the long halberd. Although his cultivation was at the late Core Forging stage, far superior to the boy in front of him who was only at the fifth layer of Core Forging stage, how could a top rank Monster Race cultivator who had not reached adulthood go out to gain experience without an adult accompanying him!
However, after the beast cultivator's Divine Sense swept over, he still didn't find anything.
The demonic cultivator was delighted. Could it be that this child had really come out to play on his own?
But then the demonic cultivator felt a chill in his heart. He didn't notice anything unusual with his Divine Sense just now, but this child suddenly appeared in front of him and attacked him. Since this was the case, it was impossible that there was no one in the surroundings!
Just as this thought flashed through the demon cultivator's mind, a shadow flashed through the white mist. The demon cultivator couldn't see the face of the newcomer clearly, but a pair of snow-white daggers in the newcomer's hands flashed with a cold light as they stabbed toward him.
The cultivation world of the plains was far more prosperous than the cultivation world of Hebei. The most prominent manifestation of this was the fact that there were two major sects in the cultivation world of the plains.
The Tianxuan Sect was an old major sect in the plains, and its long history was even comparable to that of the Ying Tian Sect in the past. Moreover, the Tianxuan Sect could be said to have been prosperous for a long time. Although it had never challenged the authority of the five holy lands of the central mainland, there had never been less than three Dharma adepts in the sect. Now, the Tianxuan Sect even had four Dharma adepts. It could be said that it was a major power in the central mainland's cultivation world.
The Tianxuan Sect was the second largest sect in the plains. This sect rose five thousand years ago and had always been stubbornly developing under the suppression of the Tianxuan Sect. This sect had even gained the strength of a major sect in one fell swoop three thousand years ago due to a great opportunity.
For three thousand years, the legacy of the Tianxuan Sect had never maintained the power of a major sect, but it had never been able to shake off the influence of the Tianxuan Sect in the cultivation world. However, in these three thousand years, the status of the Tianxuan Sect as a major power had been recognized by the vast majority of the central mainland cultivators. The only thing it lacked was the recognition of the five holy lands of the central mainland.
Just as Lu Ping learned from Zhenren Gu Hun and Zhenren Liuyun that the two black-robed cultivators were actually the Tianxuan Sect cultivators of the plains, a light suddenly flashed in Lu Ping's mind. It seemed that in an instant, he had figured out the cause and effect.
However, at this point, even if the two sides stopped fighting, they could no longer resolve the entanglement between them. The Tianxuan Sect cultivators had schemed against the cultivators of the Hebei province, which had angered the public. Moreover, from the information they had overheard through Lu Ping's Cloudlight Five Elements Robe, it seemed that the Tianxuan Sect was plotting something bigger than just that ambush.
The black-clothed senior martial brother was able to withstand several of Lu Ping's attacks. Although he was at a disadvantage, his strength couldn't be underestimated. And with the Great Mystery Gold Fan in his hand, it wouldn't be too difficult for Lu Ping to defeat the black-clothed senior martial brother in a short period of time, but it would be much more difficult to kill him.
On the other side of the battlefield, although Zhenren Gu Hun and Zhenren Liuyun had joined forces to gain the upper hand, the Profound Godly Lightsaber was a magic treasure that was far more powerful than the Profound Gold Fan. Their combined strength was no match for Lu Ping. Even with the help of two injured cultivators with less than half of their original strength, it would be even more difficult for them to defeat the black-robed Junior Brother.
After all, the Lush Jade Swamp was a crowded place. Lu Ping and Zhenren Gu Hun had ambushed the two Tianxuan Sect cultivators here and caused such a ruckus that it was hard to guarantee that no one would come looking for them.
He had to finish the battle quickly!
Countless thoughts flashed through Lu Ping's mind. The Faintly Limpid Sword entangled the Profound Gold Fan, the Landslide continued to exert pressure on the top of the black-robed Senior Brother's head, and the elusive Nether Aqua Sword also consumed a great deal of the black-robed Senior Brother's energy.
Not only was he competing with Lu Ping in terms of strength, he was also competing with Lu Ping in terms of primary essence. Lu Ping already knew that the black-robed Senior Brother was already an arrow at the end of its flight.
The strength that Lu Ping was displaying had already caused Zhenren Gu Hun and Zhenren Liuyun to raise their eyebrows. However, Lu Ping seemed to think that he had not revealed enough of his strength. A magnificent sword light rose up and, under the black-robed Senior Brother's horrified gaze, it seemed as though it was about to cover up the entire five-coloured mist.
Naturally, Lu Ping would not use the Sword of Primary Essence, a divine ability of the Koi Clan, at a time like this. Instead, he displayed the Thousand Snowpiles Sword Technique, which transformed into waves of swords that charged towards the black-robed Senior Brother.
Without saying a word, the black-robed Senior Brother pulled out a golden-coloured talisman from his robes and tossed it above his head.
Lu Ping's eyes narrowed. It was a talisman weapon!
However, Lu Ping did not retreat. Instead, the flood-like sword light became even sharper.
The talisman weapon rose into the air and immediately formed a huge golden door. A look of surprise flashed in Lu Ping's eyes. It was actually a talisman weapon like this. This person was trying to escape!
With a thought from Lu Ping, countless waves of swords rose up into the air. Within the torrent of swords, countless waves rolled up and formed a huge sword of light that slashed towards the golden door.
Lu Ping could clearly sense that this golden door had already connected to the space that the Cloudy Rainbow Robe had connected to. However, he was currently unable to control the power of space. That was something that only Dharma adepts could do.
The black-robed Senior Brother looked at Lu Ping's sword light and his heart palpitated for no reason. Although he did not believe that Lu Ping would be able to break this door of space — after all, this was the power of a Dharma adept — he did not dare to be careless. He lowered his head and rushed into the door.
The huge sword slashed down and split the door in half. However, the black-robed Senior Brother still managed to escape through this door.
The remaining half of the door flashed and finally dissipated in mid-air. After the door disappeared, a golden talisman weapon slowly fell from the sky.
Lu Ping's eyes lit up. This talisman weapon had actually been left behind. He reached out and kept the talisman weapon. With a sweep of his divine will, he found that the talisman weapon was actually undamaged.
This was a life-saving item. As long as the talisman weapon was activated in a critical moment, it could form a door of space. A practitioner could enter it and escape from danger.
Originally, this talisman weapon would disappear with the practitioner after he escaped. However, Lu Ping's sword had actually torn the door of space apart. Although the black-robed Senior Brother had managed to escape with his life through one half of the door, this talisman weapon did not disappear with him.
After all, it was a good item created by Fa Xiang Laozu. Although the Cloudlight Five Elements Robe was marvelous, it could not conceal Fa Xiang Laozu's methods.
Just as the black-robed Senior Brother used the teleportation talisman weapon, the black-robed Junior Brother on the other side took out the Taixuan Divine Lightsaber and slashed out several times in succession, causing Spiritual Master Gu Hun and the others to flee in all directions.
The black-robed Junior Brother took the opportunity to open a hole in the Cloudlight Five Elements Robe and escape. The Taixuan Divine Lightsaber was a Spirit Nurturing level magic treasure. Although the Cloudlight Five Elements Robe was marvelous, it did not dare to clash head-on with a flying sword of the same level.
But how could Lu Ping let him succeed? The power of the Fated Autumn Waters Sword was even greater than a Spirit Nurturing magic treasure that had condensed eight Treasure Seals.
Lu Ping took advantage of the situation and slashed out horizontally, cutting down the opponent's sword light midway. Meanwhile, the black-robed Junior Brother suddenly took out an escape talisman weapon. A golden door rose up and the black-robed Junior Brother quickly dove into it. The door flashed and disappeared, but this time, the talisman weapon was not left behind.
Lu Ping performed a hand seal and the surrounding mist quickly gathered inside. Then, a gauze robe formed from the mist and draped over Lu Ping's back before disappearing.
Not far away, Spiritual Master Gu Hun, Spiritual Master Liu Yun, and the two injured cultivators all had grave expressions on their faces. Normally, the two of them would have praised Lu Ping for his methods. But at this time, the four of them were clearly preoccupied and had no intention of staying here any longer.
"Brother Xuanping, the actions of the Supreme Mystery Sect this time really exceeded the expectations of the various sects. We must pass on the news to the Laozu of our respective sects so that they can make early preparations. This trip to the Yingyu Swamp is fraught with danger. Brother Xuanping should meet up with the Laozu of Tianshan as soon as possible and inform him of what happened here."
Lu Ping nodded. "Brother Gu is right, but it is strange that the Supreme Mystery Sect would scheme against the various sects of the cultivation world of Hebei. I believe that the Supreme Mystery Sect alone would not be able to do so."
When Spiritual Master Gu Hun learned that the one who schemed against them was actually the famous Taixuan Sect of the plain cultivation world, he was the first to panic. Otherwise, the black-robed Junior Brother would not have escaped so easily when the four of them besieged him.
Spiritual Master Gu Hun was an outstanding figure of the Gu Clan. After hearing Lu Ping's reminder, he immediately realized something. After cupping his hands in thanks to Lu Ping, he said, "In that case, we will go first. Brother Xuanping, please take care of yourself."
