The fake mountain had collapsed, the lake had turned into stagnant water, and the pavilions had all turned into ruins.
They were supposed to stop intruders, but before Lu Ping could activate the traps, Lu Ping had made the first move. The two flying stone slabs in the front yard and the sword-like branches and leaves were actually the only manifestation of Daring's ingenuity so far.
After passing through the courtyard, they arrived at the conference hall. From the Director of the Council Qin Qi to the supervisors and commanders, many important figures were gathered in the hall. Most of them were still shocked that they were going to use the highest level of Ingenuity, but when they turned around, they saw that the door was already in ruins. A youth was passing through the ruins, walking over leisurely. Everything around him didn't seem to be a problem at all.
In the blink of an eye, he was already outside the conference hall. Looking inside, he saw Qin Qi sitting in the middle.
This was the only person in the conference hall that Lu Ping recognized, so he very naturally asked this person.
"Where's Su Tang?" he asked. His tone didn't sound like he was here to cause trouble, but more like a normal greeting from a neighbor visiting. To these important people, this tone obviously meant that he didn't take them seriously.
This was the capital of the Xuan Army, under the feet of the Xuan Emperor. Even the commoners had a sense of superiority. The people in the conference hall were all third-rank officials, no matter how weak they were. They were all powerful, and many of them had extraordinary backgrounds and were used to being arrogant. But when Lu Ping walked out of the hall, he didn't even look at them. They had never experienced this attitude of treating everyone as if there was no one else around. When Left Supervisor Mu Yunkai met Lu Ping, he turned into a guide, and when the news spread, everyone looked down on him. Now that Lu Ping was in front of them, they couldn't possibly retreat like Mu Yunkai did.
"Brat, who gave you the guts?" The fourth commander of the headquarters, Lu Zhao, was the first to stand out and ask. At the same time, the long saber hanging at his waist had already been swung out, turning into a field of light. No one knew how many times he had swung his saber. Rather than saying it was a slash, it was more like a field of light slapping towards Lu Ping.
"Nine Return to One Slash!"
"Lu Zhao's move has improved since last time."
Everyone's eyes lit up. Although the ingenious mechanism was strong, it was still an inanimate object. Under Lu Ping's unreasonable wave of destruction, it immediately became useless. On the other hand, Lu Zhao's Nine Return to One Slash had already moved to a comfortable position before he made his move. With one strike, he had sealed off all of Lu Ping's escape routes, leaving Lu Ping with only one choice: block. But in the face of such a blade light, how could he block it? Even if he managed to block it, the Nine Return to One Slash still had countless more moves to send him to the next world.
However, Lu Ping did not block it. He only moved half a step to the left.
Lu Zhao's expression immediately changed, but it was impossible for his ability to change at this time. The blade radiance spread out like a net, but it seemed like it had reached an agreement with Lu Ping. It suddenly converged. Even though it was sharp and dazzling, it brushed past Lu Ping. In the end, it just left a deep mark on the granite ground.
Lu Zhao could not believe it.
This was the unique skill of the Lu family that had been passed down for many years. No one knew how many generations of research and practice it had gone through. Whether it was the dazzling brilliance or the sharp strike of the Nine Return to One Slash, every detail and every change was the result of countless blood and sweat of the predecessors. But this unique skill, which had been practiced and evolved countless times, was dodged by Lu Ping with just half a step?
Yes, what Lu Zhao could not accept was not that Lu Ping could dodge it, but that Lu Ping had perfectly timed it, waiting for him to change his half step.
This half step was simply a complete denial of the unique skill of the Lu family. The knife mark on the ground, in Lu Zhao's eyes, was a bottomless mockery of the Lu family's pride.
"Be careful!" While Lu Zhao was still immersed in shock, Qin Qi shouted. But when he heard this and came back to his senses, it was already too late.
Lu Ping had already swung his fist, and it came faster than Qin Qi's voice. By the time Lu Zhao came back to his senses, it was already after he had been punched. That "be careful" was the last word he would ever hear in his life.
Lu Zhao was sent flying and hung directly on the wall. When the others came to their senses, they could only rush to his side to check the result. In the end, they could only shake their heads at Qin Qi. There was anger in his eyes as he looked at Lu Ping, but more than that, there was fear.
No martial arts, no supernatural ability. From a distance of more than three meters, he had killed an expert with four opened spirits with just a punch. Even if Lu Zhao was a little distracted, he was after all not one of those dead things in the courtyard. The moment he was punched, he should have been able to circulate his energy to resist it, right?
But in the end, nothing happened, and he was killed just like that. What kind of power did Lu Ping's punch contain? The little information they had sensed in that instant made it impossible for them to confirm. But from the result alone, this young man was ridiculously strong. It would be very difficult to end this easily today.
Everyone present did not speak. They quickly reached a consensus with just their gazes. The remaining commanders didn't utter a single word. They just attacked Lu Ping together.
They had worked together for a long time and had a good understanding of each other. With the seven of them working together, even if an expert with five opened spirits came, they were confident that they could resist for a while. They had always thought so.
But this time, the first to attack was Lu Ping. They exchanged glances, but Lu Ping ignored them. But when their soul power began to stir, Lu Ping immediately sensed it.
What kind of soul power would produce what kind of change. Lu Ping had been sorting through and summarizing. Now, he was no longer as ignorant as when he had just grasped Hearing. From the sound of the seven people's soul power flowing, he could even roughly judge the attack methods of two of them. This kind of judgment method was not even described in "A Brief History of Souls."
So he made the first move. Without hesitation, he executed seven Flying Sound Slashes in one go.
Such a low-level supernatural ability was like a toy in the eyes of these big shots. Although he made the first move, and although it was fast … it was still a Flying Sound Slash.
Everyone had the same thought as they used their own methods to resist. Even now, they had not given up on attacking. It was just a Flying Sound Slash, they were prepared to counterattack.
Pu pu pu pu pu!
Seven consecutive sounds. The seven high-ranking commanders of the Black Army Academy used their own methods to resist, but they were still beaten like seven broken drums. The seven of them were like deflated balloons. There was no light or life in their eyes.
They remained in the same position for a second or two before collapsing together.
They were humans, living experts with four opened spirits. But their fates were no different from ingenious mechanisms. Lu Zhao could still execute the Nine Return to One Slash, but they didn't even have the chance to attack before they were killed by Lu Ping.
The rest of the people in the hall instantly gathered together, with Qin Qi as the center. At this moment, they completely abandoned their usual prejudices and united against a common enemy.
Lu Ping's gaze went past them and landed on Qin Qi.
"Where's Su Tang?" He asked again. At the same time, he was ready to attack.
