Connecting the four physical forms was different?
Lu Ping's tone was somewhat condescending and praising. As one of the top 28 students in the South Sky Academy, Shen Muyan didn't know how long it had been since someone had spoken to him in such a tone. He subconsciously felt a little sullen. However, when he saw that Lu Ping's expression did not change in the slightest despite being trapped by the Dragon Taming Rope, his anger eventually turned into shock.
Who was this person?
It was not until then that Shen Muyan started sizing up Lu Ping seriously. He was young and looked even younger than Du Le 'er. However, what he displayed was not the limitless potential that Du Le' er displayed. The youth in front of him already possessed real power. Even Shen Muyan felt ashamed of his inferiority when he resisted the Dragon Taming Rope with such strength.
What was even more embarrassing was that he couldn't see what method Lu Ping had used. He couldn't have used his physical body or Soul Force to directly resist it, right? What kind of monster would that be?
However, no matter what, the Dragon Taming Rope still managed to restrain Lu Ping. It just couldn't injure him severely. Shen Muyan couldn't tell how much longer Lu Ping could last, and he didn't want to continue wasting his energy like this. Using the Dragon Taming Rope at full power was quite a burden on him.
"Li Zhu." Shen Muyan secretly transmitted to his disciple Li Zhu. Of the three disciples he sent, Liu Yun had been in Canyon Peak City for some time, so he was familiar with the situation here; Du Le 'er wanted to give her more opportunities to gain experience; and Li Zhu, who looked unattractive, was actually the most reliable disciple in his mind, the one he sent to solve the problem. Now that he needed a helper, he would naturally entrust it to this student.
When Li Zhu received Shen Muyan's message, he immediately took action. The teacher and student had done this many times, and had a tacit understanding with each other. Li Zhu took a few steps forward, and a crack appeared in the area of the Dragon Binding Rope, it was Shen Muyan's intention to leave a space for him to attack. The two of them had used this kind of cooperation to defeat opponents who were far stronger than them many times in their early years. There weren't many people in the world who could suppress the current Shen Muyan. It had been a long time since he had used the top-notch Divine Weapon, the Dragon Taming Rope, and needed the assistance of his disciples. He had not expected that he would be forced to use it by such an inconspicuous youth in this mountain area.
"Leave him alive." Shen Muyan secretly ordered Li Zhu. He saw too many abnormalities on Lu Ping, so he couldn't help but be curious and wanted to dig out something valuable from him.
"Yes." Li Zhu understood his teacher's thoughts, and immediately held back a bit of strength, seeing the opening that Shen Mu Yan had opened up, he was about to attack.
Boom!!
The vibrations of the soul power spread through the space, and the domain that the Dragon Binding Rope confined seemed to explode. The highly condensed soul power surged out in all directions like a huge wave, and the powerful impact made Shen Muyan lose his footing. He hurriedly took a few steps back before he managed to stabilize himself.
"What are you doing, didn't I tell you to leave him alive!" Shen Mu Yan had lost some face after retreating a few steps, and was extremely dissatisfied with Li Zhu. This strike had actually blasted apart the Dragon Binding Rope's domain. Lu Ping, who was at the center of it all, would suffer the full impact of the Soul Power from above and below his feet. At this moment, he would probably have turned into a bloody mist.
In the end, Liu Yun answered him with a cry of surprise.
"Senior Brother Li Zhu!" Liu Yun cried out. Shen Muyan turned to look, and saw that Li Zhu's entire body had been embedded into the wall. Shen Muyan was shocked, and turned his head to look at the center of the domain. There was no bloody mist, and Lu Ping was standing there, perfectly fine. He had only raised one hand, as if he had just attacked.
So the one who had blasted apart the Dragon Binding Rope's domain wasn't Li Zhu, but this guy?
He had opened up an opening for Li Zhu, but Li Zhu hadn't even had the time to use it, and this guy had actually snatched it away?
Shen Muyan instantly understood the situation, and the more he thought about it, the more shocked he became. He was somewhat unwilling before, but now he had to admit that the strength of the youth in front of him was probably above his.
But he was already one of the top twenty-eight people in the Southern Sky Academy. In the current cultivation world, putting aside the experts who had connected their five spirits, he was definitely a first-class figure. Those who could compete with him were either the top figures of the Four Greats, or the Patriarchs of the aristocratic families. Even among these people, there were not many who could make Shen Muyan willingly admit his inferiority. But this youth in front of him, he was no longer ashamed of his inferiority, but a sense of helplessness. A top-notch Divine Weapon, a student who had great rapport with him, had already used his full strength, but it had still been easily broken by the other party. What else could he do? What else could he do?
Should he escape?
Ever since he had taken control of the Dragon Binding Rope in the academy, Shen Muyan had experienced countless big and small battles, and had never retreated. This time, Lu Ping had not directly attacked him, but Shen Muyan could not bear the pressure.
"Who exactly are you?" Shen Muyan could not help but ask. He was already a little suspicious that this person in front of him was one of the experts who had connected their five spirits.
"I'm called … Aiya!" Lu Ping was just about to speak when he suddenly cried out, and shot towards Wei Tianqi.
Wei Tianqi was dead!
The Dragon Binding Rope's field had been destroyed, and the highly condensed soul force surged in all directions. Even Shen Muyan could not withstand the impact, and fell to the ground, injured. What would happen to Wei Tianqi, who could not dodge or block it, was obvious what would happen to him? As the City Lord of the Canyon Peak District, although he was not very strong, his status was not low. In the Xuan Army Empire, he was a second-rank official who was comparable to a central minister. Why would the Xuan Army Empire issue such a strict order of arrest for Lu Ping and the others? It was not because they felt that they were a threat, but because they were too daring. Killing a City Lord of a district was equivalent to challenging the empire's authority and rule. This was something the Xuan Army Empire could not tolerate.
But now, another City Lord of a district, a high-ranking official, was mistakenly killed just like that, without even leaving behind a last word.
Lu Ping strode forward and confirmed Wei Tianqi's death. His expression, which had remained unchanged all this time, finally changed. He did not care about Wei Tianqi's life or death, but he cared about Su Tang's whereabouts. Right now, he seemed to be even more unable to accept this result than Shen Muyan. He turned his head and glanced at Liu Yun, and then at Shen Muyan.
"Do you know where Su Tang is?" he asked.
Whether it was his gaze or his tone, they were somewhat overbearing. But Shen Muyan could not get angry anymore. He only wanted the question that Lu Ping was concerned about to be answered quickly, so that this scene could end quickly. But he really did not know where Su Tang was, so he could only look at Liu Yun. Liu Yun had contributed a lot in the process of eliminating the Nightingale, but that was only to help Wei Tianqi. She and Ge Bing did not care about these things. They did not care about how the members of the Nightingale were dealt with after they were captured alive. If it was not for Lu Ping's question, she would not have known that Su Tang was no longer in Xiabong Castellan. Facing her teacher's gaze, she could only shake her head.
Of course, such an answer would not be satisfactory. Shen Muyan carefully guarded against Lu Ping. He already had the intention to retreat, but when he saw Du Le 'er, who was behind Lu Ping, he could not leave just like that. There were many talented practitioners, but Du Le 'er's amazing talent was rare and commendable. He could not give up unless he had no other choice.
Du Le 'er finally knew how to be afraid. Although Lu Ping did not attack her again, she saw that the Dragon Taming Rope controlled by her teacher was easily defeated by Lu Ping. If she could not experience Lu Ping's terrible strength, she would not be called a genius in vain.
Seeing Liu Yun shake his head and say that he did not know, Lu Ping immediately turned around. Du Le 'er, who was behind him, reflexively shrank her body, like a hedgehog that wanted to defend itself.
"Do you know?" Lu Ping looked at her and asked.
Du Le 'er hurriedly shook her head, and then she saw Lu Ping walking towards her. Du Le 'er shrank her body even more, and she looked at Shen Muyan for help. Shen Muyan was also in a dilemma, and he could not think of any way to deal with it. While he was anxious, he saw that Lu Ping had already walked past Du Le 'er without looking sideways.
Is he going to leave just like that?
Shen Muyan was still sweating in his heart, but Lu Ping was very fast. In the blink of an eye, he had disappeared from the end of the street. Shen Muyan was slightly relieved. Looking at the two students and the two dead bodies, he did not know how to comfort them.
At this time, Du Le 'er seemed to have come back to life. She quickly ran to Shen Muyan's side, and tears were already welling up in her eyes. She, who was regarded as the pearl in the palm of the South Sky Academy, had never suffered such grievances. She was suppressed to the point that she did not even dare to breathe loudly.
Liu Yun came up and said reluctantly, "Teacher, do you want to call the others to come quickly?"
Hearing this, Du Le 'er suddenly had a look of anticipation on her face. With more than a dozen people from the same sect, they should be able to deal with that hateful kid, right?
Shen Muyan was hesitant. It had been many years since he had been so lacking in confidence. With more than a dozen students who had their Four Physical and Spiritual Links working together, there were only a few people in this world who could single-handedly make things difficult for them. No matter how strong that young man was, could he be compared to those few people? But for some reason, Shen Muyan could not make up his mind.
"Teacher!" At this moment, a shout was heard. Shen Muyan turned around and saw a student rushing over, and there was another person beside him. As soon as he saw this person, Shen Muyan was immediately overjoyed, and his fear of Lu Ping disappeared in an instant.
"Ji Yun." He turned around to greet them, but he did not pay attention to the student who had called out to him. Instead, he greeted the person who had come with his student.
Like him, Ji Yun was one of the top 28 students in the South Sky Academy. Shen Muyan might not have had the confidence to lead all his students, but with the help of his old friend, Shen Muyan felt that even if they were to encounter those supreme experts, they might still be able to put up a fight.
"Why are you here? It's great that you came! " Shen Muyan was puzzled at the appearance of the other party, but then he did not care to listen to the answer, and immediately asked the other party to help. "My two students were killed, and the other party is a little strange. Follow me to catch up and take a look."
"Two students?" Ji Yun glanced at Li Zhu and Wei Tianqi's corpses, and his eyebrows did not move, but his expression was already frighteningly solemn even before he heard the news.
"What's wrong?" Shen Muyan looked at Ji Yun's expression and heard his tone, and finally felt that something was wrong.
"Return to the academy," Ji Yun said.
"What happened?" Shen Muyan asked.
"Something big, something a hundred times worse than the death of your two students," Ji Yun said.
"Could it be …" Shen Muyan's expression suddenly changed.
