Lu Ping kept retreating, but he was still unable to shake off the flying swords of the person in front of him. In just a blink of an eye, Lu Ping was already several miles away from the area where Fan Yuqing and the Three Rolling Thunder Swords were.
In the distance, the Three Rolling Thunder Swords were shocked to see Lu Ping being attacked. They were about to step forward to help when Fan Yuqing, who was standing next to them, grinned hideously and split one of his Taixuan Thorns into thirty-six thorns, trapping the Three Rolling Thunder Swords. The sky was filled with the whooshing sounds made by the thirty-six Taixuan Thorns as they flew rapidly.
Lu Ping saw that the person in front of him wanted to say something, but the person in front of him seemed to be deliberately not giving him the chance to speak. One sword strike after another was faster than the one before, and every sword strike was aimed at his chest. Lu Ping used all his strength, but he was still unable to shake off the attacks of the person in front of him.
The Longstream Sword under his feet brought Lu Ping into the dense forest several miles away. In the distance, the Three Rolling Thunder Swords had already disappeared from Lu Ping's sight. In order to deal with the crisis before him, Lu Ping had already focused all his divine will on the person in front of him, so how could he still have the time to check on the situation of others?
Using the trees in the forest, Lu Ping's figure split into two, two into four, four into eight. Thirty-two figures fled in all directions of the forest.
A cold sneer rang out, "Brother Lu, is it really so hard to have a real fight with you?"
The fiery red longsword unleashed thirty-two beams of sword light in all directions, slashing all thirty-two figures into splashes. However, the longsword itself was still moving forward, chasing all the way to an empty place several miles away. Suddenly, a mass of sword light surged out of nothingness like boiling water, barely stopping the fiery red longsword for a moment.
Lu Ping was wearing a robe that looked like a multicolored cloud, dodging left and right in the dense forest, appearing and disappearing. The Longstream Sword under his feet had already been replaced by the Longstream Sword, while the Longstream Sword was wielded by Lu Ping in the air, once again transforming into a Heavenly River that descended from the sky, surging towards the person who was chasing after him.
The Autumn Water Sword was still using the Seeping Water Sword Technique, but the Yi Ren Sword had sprung up, drawing out a series of semi-circular sword flowers that looked like a fan of swords. a total of eighty-one sword flowers rose above the sword river formed by the Longstream Sword Technique, turning into eighty-one waves that were as white as snow, rushing towards the person who was chasing after him one after another.
A Core Forging Sword Cultivator who was able to use a Great Swordsmanship Divine Ability could be regarded as an expert among cultivators of the same level. A Core Forging Sword Cultivator who could use two or more flying swords to perform a Great Swordsmanship Divine Ability could be regarded as an expert among cultivators of the same level. If a Core Forging Sword Cultivator could use two flying swords to perform two different Great Swordsmanship Divine Abilities, then perhaps only the outstanding disciples of those great sects could achieve this.
And now, Lu Ping was using three spirit-nourishing flying swords to perform three different great sword techniques. With such a level of cultivation, even the Dharma sword cultivator who was chasing Lu Ping could not help but secretly admire him.
However, the person who was chasing Lu Ping was clearly prepared for this. Even though the strength that Lu Ping had displayed had moved him quite a bit, this person only used the flying sword in his hand to slash forward three times.
With one slash, the Seeping Water Sword Technique became the Leaking Water Sword Technique; with one slash, the eighty-one waves formed by the Thousand Snow Sword Technique became rootless duckweed; with one slash, the Milky Way formed by the Longstream Sword Technique was split in the middle.
However, the person who was chasing him did not see the slightest bit of surprise on Lu Ping's face. Thinking of the elusive sword that had stabbed Fan Yuqing just now, he secretly cursed in his heart. Then, he felt a cold sword will penetrating into his bones from the left side of his ribs.
The person snorted coldly and the fiery flying sword in his hand was pulled back to his chest. A ring of fire burst out from his body and a mournful wail was heard. The purple sword light flashed three feet away and the cold sword will immediately dissolved into nothingness.
The person said proudly, "Brother Lu, with four swords and four great sword techniques, such strong inner Yuan and sharp sword techniques, you are indeed worthy of being called the North Sea Water Sword Celestial. If I had not entered the Dharma stage, I would naturally admit defeat. But now, I am confident that one flying sword can break all your sword techniques and spells!"
The person called out Lu Ping's nickname in the North Sea training world, but Lu Ping did not mind. The person was not ordinary, so it was normal for him to know about him.
"That may not be so!"
The person was slightly stunned, and then his expression changed slightly. Without thinking, he threw the long sword in his hand behind him.
He heard the sound of metal clashing behind him, and the person had to stagger forward a few steps. When he turned around to look, he saw a magnificent golden Sword Qi collapsing. A golden flying sword with a body like scales flew backward, and a mournful wail came from the trembling flying sword.
Although the person had repelled Lu Ping's attack, he had finally been hit by Lu Ping's fifth great sword technique. His inner Yuan was shaken, and he could no longer maintain the previous attack that had been so carefree.
Lu Ping finally got rid of the person's series of sword techniques and was able to catch his breath, but his heart could not calm down.
The person was none other than Xie Tianyang, the last of the Six Great Swords of the Purple Sun Palace that Lu Ping had met in the Western Wilderness, Xie Tianyang had long entered the Dharma stage. His surging Dharma inner Yuan, coupled with the Blazing Sky Sun Sword, had suppressed Lu Ping from the beginning to the point that he could not fight back and could only run.
If Xie Tianyang had not entered the Dharma stage, although he was already a famous hero of the Purple Sun Palace, Lu Ping thought that he could be on par with Xie Tianyang with swordsmanship alone. If they were to fight to the death, Lu Ping would definitely be able to win.
However, at this time, Xie Tianyang had condensed his Dharma power and was wielding his sword freely, while Lu Ping was tired of dealing with him. In the end, he had even used the Golden Scale Sword that he had long abandoned, and only then did he have a chance to catch his breath.
He used five flying swords at once, and each flying sword displayed a set of great and powerful sword techniques. Although Lu Ping's inner Yuan was thick and his strength was profound, the inner Yuan in his body was turbulent and his Qi was chaotic. The huge Golden Elixir in the space of his heart was flickering.
Lu Ping still had a trump card that he had not used, the Natal Genchen Array, which was his last resort. However, Lu Ping did not think that Xie Tianyang had used up all his tricks. At least, Xie Tianyang had not condensed his Dharma power yet. Furthermore, with Xie Tianyang's talent, how could he not have condensed his Dharma power when he entered the Dharma stage? He might even have condensed more than one Dharma power.
Lu Ping thought to himself that if Xie Tianyang used his Dharma power, in addition to his other tricks, even if he used the Natal Genchen Array, he would still be defeated.
The two of them adjusted their auras, but with tacit understanding, neither of them attacked again.
Lu Ping looked up and saw that the two of them had already flown dozens of miles away from the battle. The battle between the Three Rushing Thunder Swords and Fan Yuqing and the others had long gone unnoticed.
Lu Ping had some guesses as to why Xie Tianyang had forced him to this place, but he still smiled and said, "Brother Xie, we haven't seen each other for more than a year. Congratulations on condensing your Dharma power. From now on, I will call you Tianyang Laozu!"
Xie Tianyang smiled and said, "Brother Lu, why are you so pretentious? Do you think that because I have condensed my Dharma power first, you will not recognize me as your brother? Furthermore, with Brother Lu's strength, you will definitely be stronger than me when you condense your Dharma power in the future! "
Although the two of them had exchanged many compliments, Xie Tianyang's last sentence more or less came from the bottom of his heart.
Throughout the battle with Lu Ping, although Xie Tianyang had not used many techniques, apart from his Dharma power and his special powers, he had used his full strength. However, in the end, he had only managed to force Lu Ping to use five flying swords at the same time to display his five special powers. In the end, he had only managed to gain the upper hand, but not the overwhelming advantage.
Xie Tianyang could naturally see that although all the techniques that Lu Ping had used were sword techniques, none of the five flying swords were his special powers.
Even when he, Lu Ping, and Sang Yu had fought the Tenma people's mid Dharma stage elder, Ma Li Laozu, during the critical moment, Xie Tianyang had not seen Lu Ping use his special powers. This level of strength made Xie Tianyang respect and fear him at the same time.
Lu Ping thought for a moment and said, "Brother Xie, you have forced me to come all the way here. Could it be that you do not want me to participate in the affairs of the Tianxuan Sect?"
Xie Tianyang said seriously, "That's right. Although I do not know why Brother Lu has joined forces with the Tianxuan Sect cultivators, the Tianxuan Sect can hardly protect itself now. It was not easy for Brother Lu to attain your level of practice, and I do not wish for Brother Lu to become a sacrifice for the Tianxuan Sect!"
Lu Ping was secretly shocked. He said, "The Tianxuan Sect has been around for nearly twenty thousand years, and has always been one of the few large sects in the central plains. With such a prestigious sect, even if Brother Xie is from the Ziyang Palace and the other holy lands, it would not be an easy task to destroy it, would it?"
Xie Tianyang smiled and said, "Although the Tianxuan Sect is strong, it is still not as strong as the five holy lands. Moreover, the five holy lands are working together now, and the five holy lands are only suppressing us, not exterminating us. Otherwise, we would not have needed to act so rashly to alert them. Can Brother Lu not see it now?"
Lu Ping was silent. In fact, when Qin Wuliang, Zhu Jiuluan, and Xie Tianyang appeared one after another, Lu Ping had already sensed that something was wrong. The direct descendants of the five holy lands were working together to fight against the Tianxuan Sect. This was not something that Lu Ping could wade through.
In fact, Lu Ping had long wanted to retreat. It was just that he had promised to help the Rushing Thunder Three Swords earlier, so it was not good for him to become a deserter. Xie Tianyang's action to force him to retreat could be said to be playing into Lu Ping's hands. Although the battle along the way was because Lu Ping was not strong enough, it could also be said that the two of them already had a tacit understanding.
Lu Ping cupped his hands and said, "In that case, many thanks for Brother Xie's reminder. I believe there are still cultivators from the five holy lands lying in ambush in the forest. If Brother Xie had not acted, I would not have been able to escape the fate of death today."
Xie Tianyang nodded and said with a smile, "In the Western Wilderness, you and I can be considered to have gone through thick and thin together. During the battle with Mali Laozu, Brother Lu even helped several times, so it is only right that I acted this time. However, I am a little curious. What kind of relationship does Lu Ping have with the Tianxuan Sect? After seeing Qin Wuliang of Wuxing School and Zhu Jiuluan of Nine Profound Tower, he actually still wanted to help the Tianxuan Sect cultivators? "
