The bruise on his left cheek was clear.
Ge Bing would rather bleed than be slapped in public like this.
He had already realized that Lu Ping's strength was not ordinary. Although the slap had humiliated him, it hadn't caused any substantial harm. Ge Bing suddenly understood something as he looked at the three guards who hadn't stood up after being knocked down by Lu Ping.
That's right!
He was a student of the South Sky Academy. That kid didn't dare to be ruthless, so he wanted him to back off. It turned out that the kid looked naive and childish, but he was actually quite meticulous. But since he had such misgivings, he shouldn't have humiliated him so excessively. As the saying goes, a warrior can be killed, but not humiliated!
When she thought of this, Ge Bing suddenly straightened her back a little. He suddenly realized that his greatest weapon, his greatest killing move, wasn't the realm of four connected spirits, nor was it his fifth-level ability, the Thousand Love Sword, but his status as a student of the South Sky Academy.
"Kid, stop right there," Ge Bing said coldly.
Everyone's eyes immediately shifted from Lu Ping to Ge Bing. His killing move had clearly been broken by a casual slap, but Ge Bing's current arrogance and attitude were even greater than before.
Lu Ping turned around.
If someone spoke to him, he would respond. He wouldn't deliberately ignore them.
"Kneel down and apologize to me right now, and I can pretend that nothing happened. The South Sky Academy won't either." Ge Bing looked straight at Lu Ping, emphasizing the words "South Sky Academy."
Those who had heard his first two sentences and thought he was crazy suddenly understood when he emphasized the words "South Sky Academy."
This was Ge Bing's true trump card! Everyone was thinking the same thing as Ge Bing, who had just regained his composure.
The four great academies were the pinnacle of the cultivation world. Even if all of the five hundred academies on the mainland's ranking list were added together, they still wouldn't be able to compare to any one of the four great academies.
One of the four great academies was comparable to a country, or even more revered than a country, and even more transcendent. As a student of the four great academies, even those who had reached the realm of two and three connected spirits would be looked up to, let alone Ge Bing, who had already reached the realm of four connected spirits.
Lu Ping's slap was aimed at Ge Bing, but it was a slap to the face of the South Sky Academy.
Understanding this, everyone immediately understood why Ge Bing still dared to be so arrogant. Those who had been excited by Lu Ping's slap immediately became listless again. Nightingale and the others, who had once seen a glimmer of hope, also dimmed once again.
The Four Great Academies. The weight of this name was far, far too heavy. Just these four words alone gave off an even greater pressure than Ge Bing, an expert with four opened souls.
Wei Tianqi, who was also a member of the South Sky Academy, was very excited. He was extremely glad that he had become a member of the South Sky Academy. He finally understood the real reason why the Wei Family of the Gorge Peak wanted their children to go to the Four Great Academies, which was far more prestigious than the Wei Family. It was not only to increase his strength, but also because of the deep connections and background of the four great academies.
His future achievements would definitely surpass his father's.
Wei Tianqi looked up at the sky, feeling smug. On the other side, Lu Ping had already responded to Ge Bing's pride.
"Are you an idiot?" Lu Ping also looked straight at Ge Bing. His eyes were full of confusion. He was very puzzled by Ge Bing's request.
What?
Wei Tianqi, who had been looking up at the sky, hurriedly turned his gaze back. He looked at the people around him and saw the same surprised expression on everyone's face. Clearly, he had not misheard. This was how Lu Ping had responded to Ge Bing.
Then he turned back and continued to walk towards Wei Tianqi.
Wei Tianqi was a little flustered, but when he thought of his identity as a member of the South Sky Academy, he couldn't help but straighten his back.
"Lu Ping, I am also a member of the South Sky Gate, a disciple of Teacher Shen Muyan!"
Wei Tianqi had no intention of fighting with Lu Ping. Since Wei Tianqi was able to send Ge Bing spinning in circles with a slap, he reckoned that he would not be able to fight head-on. He simply mentioned his teacher's name. Compared to Ge Bing, Shen Muyan was considered famous on the mainland. Even in a remote mountainous area like the Gorge Peak, many ordinary people had heard of this expert's name.
"I'm asking you where Su Tang is. Why are you saying this?" Lu Ping said.
"You …" Wei Tianqi was tongue-tied. Was he supposed to explain to Lu Ping that the South Sky Academy was powerful and that Teacher Shen Muyan was very powerful, so he should be so afraid that he should immediately kneel down and beg for mercy? Wasn't it a little too far-fetched to explain such common sense?
"Why aren't you saying anything?" Lu Ping continued to press forward.
Everyone thought that with the prestige of the South Sky Academy, even if Lu Ping did not admit defeat, he would have a lot of misgivings. Who would have thought that he would still press forward step by step, ignoring even the prestige of the South Sky Academy?
For a moment, even Ge Bing did not know what to say. The situation was quite awkward.
"Can you let them go first?" Chu Min, who had been watching the show like a passerby, finally could not help but interject from below the stage.
"Oh." When Lu Ping heard this, he felt that it made sense. He turned around and looked at the Nightingale members, who were chained together and forced to kneel in three rows on the execution platform.
"You guys go first," Lu Ping said.
Everyone looked at each other.
"Mi San, take everyone and leave first," Lu Ping said to Mi San.
Mi San was also stunned.
"Don't worry and go. Leave this place to me," Lu Ping said with a smile.
Everyone was still confused, but finally, someone tried to stand up.
"Don't move!" the soldier who was holding him down immediately shouted.
Before his voice fell, he had already flown far away. He flew directly into the forest next to the former Zhenfeng College's wind gathering ground, disappearing from sight.
On the other side, Lu Ping only raised a finger.
A signal.
To deal with this soldier, who had not even reached the Piercing realm, using a single finger seemed a little too forceful.
Everyone looked in the direction of the forest. The Nightingale member, who was no longer being suppressed, stood up just like that.
With the first one, there was a second, a third …
Just like that, the soldiers who wanted to stop him were sent flying one by one.
When the fifth Nightingale member stood up, no one dared to move. No one dared to stop him.
The soldiers looked at their captain, the captain looked at the twelve family guards, the family guards looked at Wei Tianqi, and Wei Tianqi looked at Ge Bing.
All the Nightingale members had already stood up. Even Hua Yue was helped up by Mi San. Their faces were full of surprise. They could not believe that they had been rescued, and in such a brazen manner. The people from the City Lord's Mansion, including Wei Tianqi and Ge Bing, were still standing guard. How could they let them leave just like that?
Wei Tianqi was the first to be unable to sit back and watch.
He had held this public execution to establish his authority. He wanted everyone to thoroughly understand who was the master of the Gorge Peak District, so that they would not have any illusions about an organization like Nightingale.
But now, right under his nose, on the execution ground, Nightingale, who was regarded as a traitor, was about to leave. How could he keep his position as the City Lord of the Gorge Peak District? From now on, he would no longer have any prestige in the eyes of the mountain people in the Gorge Peak District, and the Empire would also doubt his rule.
"What are you doing?" Wei Tianqi shouted resolutely.
"Kill them all! Don't let a single one of them escape!" Wei Tianqi roared as he secretly retreated. He did not order the family guards to come forward before because he hoped that Ge Bing could deal with Lu Ping, which would prevent the family guards from getting injured. As a result, Ge Bing was slapped in the face, and the prestige of the South Sky Academy and the teacher could not scare Lu Ping, so Wei Tianqi could only order the family guards to go forward and mobilize the sea of people. As for himself, he was worried that he would not be taken hostage, so he hurriedly hid to the side.
Lu Ping did not pay attention to his actions. Seeing that the family guards and the garrison guards had all rushed forward, he hurriedly flicked his fingers.
The Nightingale members were already prepared to die. The other side had the advantage in numbers, and they did not think that every one of them could be saved. However, with such an opportunity, they would count it if they could survive! They had already begun to resist. Although they were chained, they used all the means at their disposal, even if they had to use their heads. They gritted their teeth.
But in the blink of an eye, Nightingale and the others found that their resistance was in vain. The people from the City Lord's Mansion who were rushing toward them, whether they were ordinary garrison guards or some powerful family guards, were all sent flying in an instant. In such a complicated situation with so many people, no one could get close to them.
"Let's go!"
With such a large-scale attack, Ge Bing finally recognized the special ability that Lu Ping had displayed. After crying out involuntarily, his face turned pale. Shouting like this in front of a 'let's go' was no different from washing your neck and letting someone chop it off.
Fortunately, Lu Ping did not attack him. Ge Bing, who had calmed down, began to think again. Previously, he did not dare to go head-on with Lu Ping. That slap made him completely unable to figure out Lu Ping's depth. But after seeing that the special ability that Lu Ping had displayed was a 'let's go', he immediately had an idea in his heart.
"Senior Brother." Wei Tianqi dashed over to Ge Bing's side. Seeing so many of the household guards being sent flying in all directions, Wei Tianqi felt a chill run down his spine.
"Don't panic." Ge Bing, on the other hand, was much calmer. First, he displayed a special ability to eliminate the sound of the two of them. Then, he said to Wei Tianqi, "This is a 'let's go', locking the target by sound. He will soon exhaust his spirit power."
