A punch!
There wasn't much noise, and there wasn't any beautiful light.
In the common understanding of these low-level garrison soldiers, a powerful move must be dazzling, mighty, and imposing. Lu Ping's punch looked so ordinary, so ordinary that they wanted to laugh, especially the soldier who was facing Lu Ping's punch. He laughed the most heartily.
But immediately, his mocking smile froze on his face. Behind him, behind him, behind him, all the way to the edge of the crowd, a line of soldiers seemed to be immobilized. All of them stopped moving, and their expressions were frozen in the previous moment.
Many people hadn't noticed what had happened, and were still attacking Lu Ping. Lu Ping casually dispelled the attacks and walked forward. The soldiers in front of him fell to the ground with a casual push.
Then, one by one, the soldiers behind him fell to the ground as if they had no bones.
The people, who were still shouting that they would teach Lu Ping a lesson, were all dumbfounded.
Were they … all dead?
Just based on that punch just now?
That punch, how could it be so powerful?
Those ordinary soldiers were too weak. Lu Ping's soul power had appeared too quickly, and it had disappeared just as quickly. With their sluggish perception, it was impossible for them to detect that Lu Ping's punch had contained a Soul of Crying.
"Hey!" The people who didn't believe it raised their feet and kicked their teammates who had fallen to the ground. They were no longer breathing. In just an instant, they were already dead. They didn't even have the chance to struggle or breathe.
"Let's go." Lu Ping walked forward and quickly stepped over the corpses.
Most of the soldiers were looking at each other, but there were still a few who were brave and slow. When they saw that Lu Ping was about to leave, they foolishly tried to stop him.
Lu Ping didn't say anything else. He casually got rid of these obstacles. He didn't care whether they were killed or injured. He just saw another small team of garrison soldiers rushing out from the intersection in front of him, and there were also more at the intersection in the distance. He couldn't help but frown.
Lu Ping raised his head and looked at the crescent moon formed by the Lunchong Soul in the sky.
In the light of the crescent moon, there was a thin line in midair that connected to his body. Lu Ping had sensed it a long time ago, but he didn't notice any effect, so he didn't pay attention to it for the time being. But now, seeing team after team of city guards rushing over to stop him so quickly, he finally knew that this thin line was a guide for everyone.
Lu Ping continued to charge forward while throwing a punch into the air. Similarly, the weak couldn't sense the high-speed screeching soul. In the end, all they saw was the crescent moon in the sky suddenly dissipating.
By this time, Lu Ping's men had already broken through the layers of encirclement. When the guards who had just arrived saw that so many of their companions were standing there in a daze, they shouted and rushed forward to stop Lu Ping.
But after a few punches, they immediately learned how to behave. Just like the companions they shouted for before, they very obediently moved to the side, their eyes filled with fear, and they didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
As long as no one came up to stop him, Lu Ping didn't care about them. Very quickly, he left these people behind. And long after Lu Ping's figure turned a corner and disappeared at the intersection in front, they finally let out a sigh of relief and finally started to talk.
"Who … is this person?"
"How did he do it?" Someone began to check on the soldiers who had all died after one punch.
"It's too scary …" A soldier who wanted to do his duty to stop Lu Ping but missed Lu Ping because he was too fast said with some lingering fear.
"But I can't sense the power of his soul at all."
"It's because we are too weak …"
"He must be an expert who has connected several spirits."
"The mayor is running, I think he should have connected four spirits." A soldier analyzed confidently.
"Probably only the two lords in the backyard can deal with him."
How could these soldiers know that of the two lords in the backyard, one had already been killed by Lu Ping in a second, and the other had been standing at the north exit all morning, and not long ago, she finally welcomed the group of people she had been waiting for.
"Teacher!" Liu Yun quickly went up to greet them. Those who had seen Liu Yun in Gorge Peak City would never have thought that this cold and aloof woman would actually have such a happy smile.
"Mm." The person at the front of the group smiled slightly. He didn't look very old, and he wore a wine-red robe with the word "Nan" embroidered on his left shoulder with golden thread, but it showed that he had a different identity.
In the South Sky Academy, there weren't many people qualified to embroider the word "Nan". It was said that including the dean and the four masters, there were a total of 28 people. These 28 people were undoubtedly the most outstanding people in the South Sky Academy. To some extent, their words represented the voice of the South Sky Academy, and they were the symbol of the South Sky Academy that couldn't be underestimated.
Shen Muyan was one of these 28 people. He hadn't participated in the big movements of the three academies two months ago, but had instead led his disciples to travel around. Wei Tianqi was his new disciple this year, so he made the Gorge Peak District, which was under Wei Tianqi's command, a stop on this trip. Otherwise, very few cultivators would set foot in such a remote and sparsely populated mountainous area.
"Where are Ge Bing and Tian Qi? Haven't they finished yet? "Shen Muyan asked.
"They should be soon. Let's go to the mansion now, and maybe we can meet up with them when they're done," Liu Yun said.
"Then let's go." Shen Muyan walked toward Gorge Peak City. Only then did Liu Yun begin to greet her senior brothers and sisters, who were following behind Shen Muyan. Unexpectedly, at this moment, a beam of light rose into the air and condensed into a crescent moon.
Shen Muyan glanced at the crescent moon and said, "Moonlight Guide?"
Liu Yun hurriedly returned to Shen Muyan's side and said, "Junior Brother Tian Qi used this ability as the highest signal in Gorge Peak City. Could it be that he's in trouble?"
"With Senior Brother Ge Bing by his side, what kind of trouble could there be?" One of Shen Muyan's female disciples said disdainfully.
"There's a group of thieves gathering and they're going to cause trouble today. Maybe Senior Brother and Junior Brother are in trouble," Liu Yun said.
"This is just the Gorge Peak District. There's only one academy on the mainland. What's its name again? Anyway, it's at the bottom of the ranking list. What kind of people can Senior Brother Ge Bing not deal with in such a place?" Another female disciple said.
This was actually what Liu Yun was thinking, but in front of her teacher, she behaved very humbly and didn't say much.
"Since such a signal has been released, something must have happened. Liu Yun, take Li Zhu and Le 'er to have a look first, "Shen Muyan said.
"Yes," Liu Yun immediately responded. Behind him, Li Zhu, who was called out, also stood up. Le 'er was the female disciple who talked a lot. Her full name was Du Le' er. She joined Shen Muyan not too late, but she was younger than Wei Tianqi. At the age of less than 20, she was already breaking through to the Four Physical Spirits. There weren't many people with such amazing talent in the four academies. The little girl was doted on by Shen Muyan and was like a little princess among her peers. When he heard that his teacher wanted him to go and have a look, he didn't dare to refuse, but he put on an unhappy face.
"Teacher, we're going." After Liu Yun called out to Shen Muyan, he quickly led his two fellow disciples to the location pointed out by Yue Hua.
"Wei Tianqi is really stupid. He's the lord of a city and has Senior Brother Ge Bing's help, but he still needs to send a signal for help? I really don't know what's so good about him that you want to take him in as a disciple. "Du Le 'er chased after Liu Yun and kept complaining. She didn't care about Wei Tianqi's status as the lord of a city at all.
Liu Yun, who had always been cold and arrogant, could only smile bitterly after hearing Du Le 'er's words. Even though her current realm was higher than Du Le 'er's, she didn't dare to put this little girl in her eyes. Firstly, she was too doted on by her teacher. Secondly, with her cultivation progress, it seemed inevitable that she would surpass her peers. She might even surpass their teacher, Shen Muyan, in the future. Therefore, she showed some care and love for Du Le 'er.
"Let's go and have a look together." Liu Yun said with a smile, "If he's really stupid, you can teach him a lesson."
"Hmph, that goes without saying," Du Le 'er said disapprovingly.
