This was a truly bitter move.
It wasn't just Lu Ping who had walked out. Almost everyone, including Lu Ping, was sure of it. The soul power on his body was so clear and strong, it was very different from the water man.
Lu Ping felt it more clearly, and the person Ku Qi was looking at, was Lu Ping.
"Impressive." Ku Qi praised.
He already had the relevant information on Lu Ping. He knew that he could detect Matsuoka's disappearance, and easily dodge Senhai's Escaping Sound Slash. This meant that Lu Ping had an extremely sensitive, extremely precise perception-type ability.
Other than that, he had killed Zong Zheng Hao, and used the soul of the cry to destroy Zong Zheng Hao's body. He had displayed a very high level of power, and it was an ability that Ku Qi did not know about.
Towards Lu Ping, from the start, Ku Qi had been extremely guarded, even more so than he was wary of Chu Min.
His actions were very detailed, very careful.
Using Water's End to create danger in this kind of weather, this was a great distraction for people with outstanding perceptive abilities. They had to use their entire mind and body to deal with it, and not miss a single detail. The slightest carelessness, the slightest error in judgment, the result could be unthinkable.
Compared to ability, in this kind of situation, the requirement for a xiuzhe's state of mind was higher. He had to be determined, but not lose his calm.
Ku Qi had to admit, on this point, he had underestimated Lu Ping. But he really had not thought that a youth in his teens could have such a calm state of mind. Even when Chu Min had almost lost her life to save them, he did not waver at all.
Ku Qi was unable to stop Lu Ping's footsteps in the end. In this battle of confusion and detection, he had lost.
So he praised Lu Ping. He really admired what Lu Ping had done.
"But it is a pity." He continued. "Now, can you still stop me?" As he spoke, his hand suddenly rose.
"Dodge!" Lu Ping shouted. He had no time to point out who it was, he could only use his gaze to warn.
Morin!
The puddles of water under his feet followed Ku Qi's wave. Suddenly, it jumped up and splashed brightly like a knife.
Morin was already moving when he heard Lu Ping's shout. His reaction was not slow. However, his movements were too slow.
The water splashed onto his calf, which he didn't manage to pull away in time. The water splashed instantly turned into a bloody flower.
This water was really as sharp as a knife. At this moment, the water that had been poured in by the Water Depletion Lead was everywhere. In the sky and on the ground, the sound of soul power flowing could be heard everywhere, in all directions.
Lu Ping had a splitting headache.
Perception was also a consumption, especially when facing such an attack.
Lu Ping had consumed too much energy on this day, and he had persisted for a long time in his extreme state. At this moment, the Bitter Chess officially appeared, and it was only then that he officially started his offensive. The area covered by the Water's End Glory and the amount of water elemental energy it could control were greater and more numerous than before. This time, he didn't need to hold back. This time, he didn't need to hide anymore.
Lu Ping couldn't take care of everything anymore. His mind was in a mess, and he couldn't listen to the soul power's voice anymore. What he needed was to release it. Lu Ping didn't know what to do.
Lu Ping punched!
The Soul of Cry, the Soul of Cry that focused on listening to the sounds of the soul power, was unleashed in this punch.
The curtain of rain was cut open.
This was the attack!
Ku Qi's pupils constricted in that instant.
He had experienced Lu Ping's precise and sharp perception, but what about the attack that destroyed Zong Zhenghao?
Ku Qi was waiting. Now, he finally got it.
The Soul of Cry. As expected, it was the Soul of Cry. He didn't know what method it used, but it flew over so purely that even the curtain of rain was shattered.
No. That wasn't it. The shattering was just a coincidence. The rain was actually the path of the Soul of Cry, it was its guide.
This attack couldn't be blocked! At least not in the way he had originally planned.
In a thousandth of a second, Ku Qi made this judgment. He realized that the water shield he had prepared to weave in front of him wouldn't be of any use. The true secret of this attack wasn't how fast it was or how destructive it was, but its strange transmission. The destruction was just a side effect of the transmission.
He could only dodge, or cut off the transmission, or spread the transmission. That way, the power of this attack would naturally be diluted?
In a thousandth of a second, Ku Qi made his decision. His palms quickly closed and opened.
The thick water shield, which was originally prepared to block the attack, suddenly opened up and spread out into many water curtains. Moreover, it kept absorbing the rainwater and expanded even more.
The fist had already landed. The first water curtain that hadn't completely expanded was instantly shattered into countless tiny water droplets. But Ku Qi was sure that his judgment was correct.
Because he saw the process of the water curtain shattering. It was clear that the water had spread in all directions from the point of attack.
Then, the second, the third …
The incredibly fragile water curtain wasn't hard at all. All Ku Qi did was gather the water. Even a normal person could break it with a finger. When they ran into Lu Ping's sharp attack, they couldn't even withstand a single blow. Regardless of how big the water screen was, it was disintegrated in an instant. But this also meant that the Soul of Ming's attack was continuously spreading.
Then came the fourth, the fifth …
There were only five of them in total. This was the best a forced move could do.
But it was enough. The fourth water curtain didn't shatter completely. The fifth water curtain only had a large hole in the middle. After that, it didn't spread or cause any damage.
Five fragile water curtains that couldn't even block a normal person's finger were able to dissolve Lu Ping's destructive punch. The remaining bit that continued forward didn't have any destructive power. Ku Qi didn't even try to dodge. This attack, to him, was like a soft sound in his ear or a cool breeze.
As expected, there was a soft sound. Soul of Ming, in many cases, people interpreted it as a sound.
There was wind, but it wasn't a cool breeze.
When Ku Qi sensed it, a piercing pain shot from his chest to his back. It was as if he was being pierced by a sharp blade.
Such a sharp wind, there could only be one person present.
Chu Min, Wind Drill.
A mouthful of fresh blood surged up his throat but Ku Qi forced it down. His expression was still calm as he looked forward.
Lu Ping looked exhausted. Chu Min couldn't even stand straight. This Wind Drill was an attack that used up all of her remaining Soul of Ming.
"What a pity." Ku Qi said. "If you had such a combined attack from the start, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to do anything." Ku Qi laughed as he spoke. This was also the reason why he would rather have limited power than reveal his true self in the beginning. He wanted to exhaust them first. He was indeed very careful. Even if he was ambushed by a Wind Drill, he would still be the winner.
"Let's do this!" Ku Qi waved his hand. The rain in the sky and the puddles on the ground suddenly transformed into arrows that shot up and down.
The five of them seemed to have given up on resisting. They allowed the water arrows to pierce through them.
No one dodged, but no one fell. No one bled.
Ku Qi was stunned. He suddenly realized the ability of one of his opponents.
Everything in front of him wasn't real. This was just his previous memory.
Oh no!
Ku Qi screamed in his heart. Then, he felt his legs tighten. Vines had burrowed out of the ground and wrapped around his legs.
"I still have the strength for one punch." Ku Qi suddenly heard someone speak behind him.
It was a girl's voice. It was the girl with the Blood Force.
A punch from the Blood Force … even though Ku Qi's level was two stages higher, it wasn't something that he could take on with his body.
Ku Qi hurriedly used his most intimate water element to cut off the vines around his legs and attack the attack from behind.
But it was too late.
As soon as Su Tang said that, a punch had already landed on Ku Qi's back.
A huge force surged in. Ku Qi had forcefully endured the injury from the Wind Drill. Now, it was pulled out by this heavy punch. It exploded along with the destructive power of the punch.
Ku Qi's heart instantly broke. It was a real heartbreak.
He turned his head weakly and looked behind him. Lu Ping, Su Tang, Siffin, Morin, Chu Min, they all looked like they could fall at any moment. But in the end, they succeeded in killing him.
"There were five of them attacking together," Lu Ping said to him.
