Although Lu Ping had always been trying to guess how strong he really was, he had once defeated the Three Heroes of the Gu clan, who had once withstood a blow from a Dharma adept, and he had once defeated the Green Fox Nine Bandits, who had heavily injured Dharma adept Laozu. However, regrettably, Lu Ping had never personally fought with Dharma adept Laozu.
Now, Lu Ping finally had the chance to face a real Dharma adept alone. Although this Dharma adept was already heavily injured, Lu Ping knew that a cornered beast would still fight, and an injured tiger would often become even more ferocious in order to survive.
Lu Ping had never thought that his first fight with a Dharma adept would be under such circumstances.
After Lu Ping had tamed the Beautiful Autumn Waters Sword, he used the great sword technique that Lu Ping had not been able to use to its full potential, the "Hundred Rivers Into the Sea" technique for the first time.
A pair of flying swords circled in the sky, forming a huge whirlpool of sword-light. The center of the whirlpool was like a huge mouth, and the edge of the whirlpool was like a huge meat grinder, wanting to kill all the enemies it faced in the most despairing way possible.
The blood-red flowing light no longer had any space to escape. The green flowing light behind him followed closely. If he stopped for even a moment, he would be tightly entangled by the person behind him.
He wanted to escape. As long as he escaped, he could spread the news that he was in cahoots with Guo Tianshan of the Ying Shan Immortal Courtyard. Then, the final victor would be himself. The Ying Shan Immortal Courtyard was definitely scheming something big.
He had already seen that the person blocking him was only a late Core Forging adept, so he had not paid much attention to him.
However, after Lu Ping displayed his powerful swordsmanship, Qing Hua Laozu was finally shocked. However, he secretly comforted himself. How could a late Core Forging adept control such a powerful technique? Perhaps it was just an empty shell.
If you want to scare the Old Man, the Old Man will really break your technique. You are just an ant. Not everyone can stop a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
The blood-red flowing light crashed into the whirlpool of sword-light. There was a cry of surprise as layers of blood-red light were peeled off by the sword-light. Every time the sword-light flew out of the blood-red light, it would bring along a patch of blood-red light.
The blood-red escape light obviously didn't expect this whirlpool-like sword formation to have such power. A layer of cyan light burst out of the blood-red escape light, but it became dimmer and dimmer in the face of the swarming golden light.
As the flowing light went deeper and deeper into the whirlpool, the green light finally dissipated. The sword-light around its body surged up again. Within the flowing light, it once again brought out a spirit-level magic treasure. However, the moment it was brought out, it was shredded to pieces by Lu Ping's thousands of sword-lights.
Qing Hua Laozu was a Dharma adept, but at this critical moment, he had only brought out a spirit-level defensive magic treasure. It was clear that under the combined attacks of Guo Tianshan and the other two Laozu, this Laozu's defensive magic treasures had been mostly used up.
However, the flowing light used this last bit of resistance to finally break through the encirclement of the whirlpool of sword-light and escaped from the center of the whirlpool.
However, what greeted it was not Lu Ping's panic-stricken face. Instead, it was another blue sword light that seemed to pierce through the sky.
It was the True Yuan Sword Qi that was wielded with all its strength by the Changliu sword, a spirit-nurturing magic treasure!
"True Yuan Sword Qi, the inherited swordsmanship of the Yulan River's Koi clan. You are actually from the Yulan River's demon clan!"
An angry roar came from within the blood-red flowing light. The roar was filled with endless madness. He already knew that he had completely underestimated this person in front of him, who was only at the eighth level of the Core Forging stage. This level of swordsmanship was enough to compete with him.
What's more, he knew that he would not be able to escape death today. The three flowing lights behind him had already caught up to him while he was breaking through the whirlpool of swordsmanship. Liang Tianfeng Laozu stood in front of him, while the other two flowing lights surrounded him from behind.
However, for some reason, the three of them only surrounded him from afar and did not immediately attack him.
Could it be that this Core Forging adept was not in cahoots with the three of them?
This thought flashed through Qing Hua Laozu's mind and was immediately extinguished. Whether this person was in cahoots with the three or not, he would not be able to escape death today. Since that was the case, he would take this Core Forging Minor Repairs with him to the grave!
Although the strength that Lu Ping had displayed was far beyond Qing Hua Laozu's expectations, Qing Hua Laozu was still confident that he could kill the Minor Repairs in front of him.
It was precisely because of Lu Ping that Qing Hua Laozu had lost his last hope of escaping. How could Qing Hua Laozu not hate Lu Ping to the bone!
However, Qing Hua Laozu had once again neglected the fact that this Essential Yuan Sword Strike was not so easy to receive, especially since Qing Hua Laozu's strength had already been greatly reduced and Lu Ping had been waiting for him to exhaust himself.
Lu Ping's sword strike had sent Qing Hua Laozu flying out of the light, and Lu Ping had also been sent flying into Guo Tianshan Laozu's encirclement by Qing Hua Laozu's full force attack.
The Water-Controlling Flag above his head flickered, and the white lotuses that flowed in the curtain of light were destroyed one by one.
The Cloud Light Five Elements Robe rose up around Lu Ping's body, and the Five Elements interacted with each other, neutralizing Qing Hua Laozu's attack.
Even so, Lu Ping still felt a huge force pass through the seven layers of protective Upstanding Qi and land on his chest. Even though the strength of Lu Ping's body was no less than that of a Dharma adept, he still felt waves of annoyance and disgust, and his face was drained of all color.
Qing Hua Laozu's Blood Evasion technique had been completely broken by Lu Ping, and after the backlash, he had been shaken by Lu Ping's full force attack. After his Dharma power had left his body, he had been forced back into the core space by Lu Ping's sword light. He spat out a mouthful of blood, and this injury had completely destroyed Qing Hua Laozu's foundation!
Qing Hua Laozu's face was purple-gold, and he wiped away the blood that had streaks of gold at the corner of his mouth. He looked fiercely in the direction of Guo Tianshan, who was surrounded by the other two Laozu's, and said, "I never thought that the power behind your Ying Shan Immortal Academy would be the Yulan River demons. You, Guo Tianshan, are a Dharma adept, but you are working with a tiger. If this matter is known by the Hebei training world, your Ying Shan Immortal Academy will definitely be reduced to dust!"
Guo Tianshan Laozu smiled slightly and said, "Friend Qing Hua, you can go ahead. Just like you said, if this matter is known by the Hebei training world, our Ying Shan Immortal Academy will be in big trouble. But now that you are dead, who will know that our Ying Shan Immortal Academy has made a deal with the Yulan River demons?"
Lu Ping, who was standing outside the encirclement, was slightly taken aback when he heard this. He had interfered to stop Qing Hua Laozu because he had no other choice. Before this, the three Laozu's had also not planned to shift the blame to the Yulan River demons. Now, Guo Tianshan Laozu was obviously playing along. After Lu Ping had used the Yulan River demons' remarkable swordsmanship, he had conveniently shifted the blame to the Yulan River demons.
But how could he successfully shift the blame? After all, Guo Tianshan Laozu had already been seen through by Qing Hua Laozu. Did he really have to expose the Ying Shan Immortal Academy as a sacrificial pawn?
In the end, Qing Hua Laozu's blood vessels were all shattered by Liang Tianfeng Laozu's extremely strange remarkable power.
Lu Ping looked at Liang Tianfeng Laozu in shock. Lu Ping was all too familiar with this remarkable power.
Liang Tianfeng Laozu looked at the astonished Lu Ping and said with a smile, "Are you wondering how I can use this kind of ability?"
Lu Ping nodded. He saw that Qu Tiancheng Laozu and Guo Tianshan Laozu also revealed a slight smile. Liang Tianfeng Laozu smiled proudly and said, "This kind of ability that can shatter a person's blood vessels originally originated from the Yulan River demons of the Central Plains. I don't know how, but this secret technique spread to the North Sea and was obtained by the North Sea demons. Afterwards, they used it to deal with the cultivators of the various sects in the North Sea, causing many cultivators to die of old age due to the shattering of their blood vessels and the destruction of their cultivation."
Lu Ping asked with some surprise, "This kind of divine ability actually originated from the Yulan River demons?" Didn't we discuss before to provoke a conflict between the Spirit Martial Sect and the various sects in Hebei? Could it be that the Laozu already had the idea of framing the demons? "
Guo Tianshan Laozu smiled and explained, "This is also a change in the situation. The Yulan River demons have already entered the Yulan Swamp to encircle the Shura, but the two sides seem to have a tacit understanding and have maintained a good restraint on each other. It's just that it would be a pity if this tacit understanding was not broken."
Guo Tianshan Laozu paused for a moment, then said, "As for this kind of divine ability, it was only discovered after a long period of exploration by several Laozu and cultivators who were proficient in the secret arts of the various sects. Although it is not exactly the same, it can still be similar. Ordinary cultivators would not be able to distinguish it clearly, and it just so happens that the sword technique divine ability that you used is actually the inherited sword technique divine ability of the Yulan River's Koi Clan. This can be said to be twice the result with half the effort. Senior Brother Liang's imitation divine ability is fake, but your sword technique divine ability is real!"
Lu Ping said in agreement, "If we can incite a conflict between the Yulan River demons and the Hebei cultivation world, we can indeed stir up the situation in the swamp even more. However, this will inevitably cause the Hebei cultivation world to unite against a common enemy. If the Spirit Martial Sect takes advantage of this opportunity and unifies the Hebei cultivation world to fight against the demons, it will not be good."
Liang Tianfeng Laozu and the others looked at each other, and then Liang Tianfeng Laozu asked with a smile, "Oh, do you have another idea?"
Seeing that the three Laozu were so affectionate, Lu Ping knew that they had already come up with a countermeasure. He smiled and said, "I just happened to meet Gu Hun of the Gu Clan and Daoist Master Liu Yun of the Cloud Capital Sect. These four people were colluding with a demon cultivator who was proficient in beast taming techniques to kill them. Although I saved four of them, two of them have been seriously injured, and two of them have already fallen. This enmity is not small!"
A glimmer of light flashed in the eyes of the three Laozu. Lu Ping smiled and continued, "After that, my spirit pet ambushed the demon cultivator, but I obtained a jade slip from the demon cultivator's body. It was a demon cultivator killer that the Spirit Martial Sect had privately found. Originally, I wanted to use this demon cultivator to obtain some of the inheritance of the Beast Controlling Spirit Sect. After killing the cultivators of the various sects, I can use it to divert my attention. However, this person is actually working together with the cultivators of the Supreme Profound Sect to attack the disciples of the Gu Clan and the Cloud Capital Sect. What does this mean?"
"I never thought, I never thought that the Spirit Martial Sect would actually collude with the Supreme Profound Sect."
Qu Tiancheng Laozu's face was first shocked, and then he slowly said.
"That's right. If these two sects collude together, even if we successfully provoke a conflict between the various sects and the Spirit Martial Sect, we might not be able to stop the Spirit Martial Sect from becoming a large power."
Guo Tianshan Laozu also had a lingering fear in his heart.
"But now that we know the news of these two sects secretly forming an alliance, it's like someone sent a pillow to us when we were sleepy. The muddier the muddier the Jade Swamp, the better!"
Liang Tianfeng Laozu laughed and said, "I don't know if the various sects in Hebei suddenly discovered that the Spirit Martial Sect was secretly in contact with the Supreme Profound Sect of the plain cultivation world, and the Spirit Martial Sect suddenly discovered that the Hua Yu Sect's Dharma cultivator, Qing Hua Laozu, had been killed by the Yulan River Demon Clan. What kind of exciting scene will unfold in the Jade Swamp?"
Qu Tiancheng Laozu was afraid that the world would not be in chaos. He said, "It's just that this fire doesn't seem to be burning hot enough. We need to add fuel to the fire!"
This was the first time that Lu Ping had seen the highly respected second generation disciples of his sect actually use such tactics. He could not help but find it hard to adapt, and for a moment, he could only laugh along.
Qu Tiancheng Laozu slapped Lu Ping on the shoulder and said, "Kid, I haven't seen you in a few years. I didn't expect your strength to have grown to such a level. You can go head to head with a Dharma adept, and in one move, you seriously injured Qing Hua Laozu, who is at the peak of the early Dharma stage, whose strength is on par with ours. If this news gets out, your name will not only be known in the North Sea!"
Lu Ping was shocked and hurriedly waved his hands. He said, "Uncle-Masters, please spare your disciple. I have taken advantage of you three uncle-masters."
Qu Tiancheng Laozu nodded and said, "Luckily, you did not get too cocky. This matter ends here. That Qing Hua Laozu was killed by a Dharma adept of the Yulan River demon clan. Even within our sect, this person was killed by the three of us. It has nothing to do with you."
Lu Ping knew that this was the three Laozu's protection for him, so he sincerely bowed to the three Laozu's and said, "Thank you, uncle-masters, for protecting me!"
Unexpectedly, Qu Tiancheng Laozu grabbed Lu Ping again and laughed. "Kid, although we have helped you cover up this matter, you still have to pay a price, right?"
Lu Ping already had a bad feeling in his heart. Sure enough, Qu Tiancheng Laozu's words floated in his mind. He said, "After this trip to the Yingyu Swamp, find some time to spar with me. Let's see how strong you have become!"
Lu Ping's face suddenly became bitter. If it was any other Laozu, it would be fine. Maybe Lu Ping would be eager to try, but this Qu Tiancheng Laozu was a famous battle maniac. In order to improve his own strength, he once entered the late Core Forging stage and continuously challenged 36 late Core Forging stage adepts of the North Sea. Although there were wins and losses, the name "Thunderbolt Fire" Qu Tiancheng became famous in the North Sea Cultivation world.
In fact, this wasn't a big deal. What really gave Lu Ping a headache was that this Junior Martial Uncle was like an idiot who would pester him endlessly. If he won, it would be fine. But if he lost, he would challenge him again and again. It was very annoying.
When Qu Tiancheng Laozu's cultivation was successful, he immediately challenged the first person of the second generation disciples, Zhenling's most valued Perfected Master Jiang Xuanlin.
Perfected Master Jiang Xuanlin had always been free and unfettered. He was most annoyed by these battles, but because he was from the same sect, he did not use his full strength. It was only after Perfected Master Qu Tiancheng used his full strength that he won by a narrow margin.
Unexpectedly, this made Perfected Master Qu Tiancheng very excited. He thought that the gap between him and Perfected Master Jiang Xuanlin was not too big. If he cultivated diligently, he might be the first person of the second generation disciples in the future.
Therefore, every once in a while, when Perfected Master Qu Tiancheng felt that his strength had improved, he would challenge Perfected Master Jiang Xuanlin. Every time, he would lose to Perfected Master Jiang Xuanlin by a single move, but he would continue to fight.
No matter how restrained Perfected Master Jiang Xuanlin was, he was annoyed by Perfected Master Qu Tiancheng's challenge method. In the end, he simply threw away all the friendship between them. When Perfected Master Qu Tiancheng excitedly ran over to challenge him again, Perfected Master Jiang Xuanlin's face darkened and he beat Perfected Master Qu Tiancheng up with a few punches and kicks.
It was only then that Perfected Master Qu Tiancheng realized that Perfected Master Jiang Xuanlin had always been giving in to him. He realized that the gap between him and Senior Brother Jiang Xuanlin was so huge!
From then on, Perfected Master Qu Tiancheng never challenged Perfected Master Jiang Xuanlin again. Instead, he seemed to be beaten up by Perfected Master Jiang Xuanlin. He could be said to be obedient to Perfected Master Jiang Xuanlin and regarded himself as Perfected Master Jiang Xuanlin's little brother.
Lu Ping knew that there was a high chance that he couldn't avoid it this time. Putting aside whether he could win or not, Lu Ping had to go all out first. He couldn't even think about pretending that he was no match for Perfected Master Qu Tiancheng.
After being beaten up by Jiang Tianlin Laozu when they were in the late stage of Core Forging, Qu Tiancheng Laozu seemed to have a psychological shadow. Although his ability to pester did not decrease at all, and even became more and more intense, he had never been lenient to his opponents who adopted a passive attitude during the battle.
Old Ancestor Qu Tiancheng was known as the "Thunderbolt Fire". His fire-attribute magical power was extremely overbearing. It was especially powerful in a head-on battle. Although the cultivators who were challenged by him were originally on par with him, they were defeated in the process of fighting him head-on.
Therefore, Lu Ping had no choice but to fight, and he had to go all out in this battle!
After the three Laozu's discussed for a while, they went their separate ways. Lu Ping followed Guo Tianshan Laozu and left together. When they were about to reach a camp built by the cultivators of the Hebei cultivation world, Guo Tianshan Laozu's expression suddenly changed and a mouthful of dirty blood flowed out of his mouth. Lu Ping hurriedly went forward to support him and said, "Teacher, are you alright?"
Old Ancestor Guo Tianshan sighed, "Luckily, our foundations weren't damaged. Otherwise, it's very likely that our Ying Shan Immortal Academy would've been annihilated during this trip to the Lush Jade Swamp!"
As the two of them spoke, they stumbled as they flew towards the camp.
"Eh, Brother Guo, you … who would injure you to such an extent?"
Like a wave, a figure gradually became clearer in the sky. A Dharma Power Laozu stepped out of the void. Looking at the bloodstain at the corner of his mouth, he frowned and said, "Brother Guo, which sect did you have a conflict with? Ying Shan Immortal Academy has only been established for about ten years, but it is all because of Brother Guo, a Dharma Power adept. If anything happens to you, my old friend, the effort you put into establishing the sect will go to waste. Now, it is better to be kind to others and keep a low profile!"
