The tall and precipitous walls of ice stood before them, causing them to tremble in fear and despair.
If the ice mountains from before had made them want to conquer them, then this one in front of them would only make them shrink back, without the slightest desire to leap over it.
It was just that along the way, how many icebergs had they been able to cross? Everyone stopped in front of this ice wall, and looked at Lu Ping together.
"Which one is this?" Lu Ping asked the youth beside him.
"The tenth one," the youth replied.
Lu Ping nodded, and let out a light breath. He did not know how many ice mountains were blocking their way, so he had not counted them on the way here. Right now, he wanted to confirm it, because he found that his exhaustion was reaching its limit. He needed to calculate his exhaustion, and determine how far he could go.
The tenth one.
This was less than he had thought. The intense exhaustion made him feel as if he had walked through a thousand mountains and ten thousand rivers, but in reality, he had "only" broken through nine ice mountains.
This was the tenth one. Lu Ping raised his head to look at the ice mountain in front of him, which was taller than any of the previous ones. He made a rough estimate, and concluded that this was probably the last one he could break through.
He patted the ice mountain, and looked at all the youths.
"This is it," Lu Ping said.
"Big brother?" Everyone did not understand.
"My strength is probably only enough to break through one more ice mountain," Lu Ping said.
Everyone listened in a daze, not knowing what to say. Lu Ping had saved them from the dark dungeon, and used all his strength to escort them here. Now that he said he could not continue, what could they say? Encouragement? Gratitude? Comfort? At this moment, they were all so pale and powerless. The youths, who were already isolated from the world and did not know how to express themselves, could only stand there in a daze.
"So you will have to rely on yourselves to cross this mountain." Lu Ping continued, and everyone continued to listen in a daze.
"I hope this is the last one." Lu Ping looked up and thought about how the iceberg at the border of Boundary River seemed to be as tall as the clouds when he came. Perhaps this was really the border of Boundary River.
"If so, I can send you off again," Lu Ping said with a smile. He was not a talkative person, but compared to the youth who had been locked up for a long time, Lu Ping was the most talkative one.
"Everyone, back off," Lu Ping said as he turned to face the glacier in front of him.
The youths really did not know how to express themselves. They could only use their actions to show that they would absolutely obey any order of Lu Ping. This was their answer. Everyone silently retreated, forming a semicircle and looking at Lu Ping in the middle.
Without any exaggerated movements, he simply raised his hand and swung his fist.
The first strike, Soul of Cry, destroyed the custom-made ability within the ice mountain.
For the second strike, he used all of his Soul Power and punched the ice mountain with his fists.
Rumble rumble rumble …
An earth-shattering sound reverberated for a long time. This time, the iceberg wasn't penetrated by Lu Ping's fists like before, and a passageway wasn't created. Dense spiderweb-like patterns started from where Lu Ping's fists landed and climbed up the ice mountain. Up, down, left, right, and in places that could not be seen by the naked eye, it even extended inwards. At the top of the mountain, there were already huge chunks of ice rolling down.
"Everyone, find a place to hide!" Lu Ping saw that the situation was different from before, and hurriedly turned around to remind everyone. He himself also leapt a few meters away. A huge chunk of ice fell where he had just stood, shattering into pieces.
From the top of the mountain, from the middle of the mountain, more and more chunks of ice fell like this. The ice wall covered in spiderwebs suddenly shattered, and the whole thing sank downwards.
The youths scattered and dodged, but the scouts in the distance could clearly see what was happening here. The towering iceberg that pierced through the clouds was visibly shorter, as if someone had chopped off its leg.
"What's going on?"
All of the scouts stared in shock. Yu Ji and Nie Rang, who had heard the commotion, shouted in unison.
"Reporting to my lord, they have already reached the border, and are still trying to blast open the ice mountain. However, it doesn't seem to be going well," the scouts hurriedly reported.
In the eyes of Yu Ji and Nie Rang, the misfortune of Lu Ping's group was the greatest fortune of all. But with the previous mistake, the two did not immediately become excited, and instead had the scouts investigate more clearly.
"Reporting to my lord, it is indeed not like before. That mountain has collapsed slightly, but it doesn't seem to have blasted open a path," the scout quickly reported.
"What's Lu Ping doing?" the two asked together. The only person they were truly afraid of was Lu Ping.
"It's too chaotic. We can't find him, "the scout reported.
"Bastard! Hurry and find him! "Yu Ji was instantly enraged when he heard this. Lu Ping's whereabouts were unknown, so they did not dare to act rashly. If they were to charge over, with a Connected Six Spirits standing in front of them, it would be too late for them to run.
Their large number was their advantage, but they had assumed that they could subdue Lu Ping with their large number. This was their greatest mistake. They thought that the Connected Six Spirits wouldn't be so terrifying, but in the end, they realized that a starving camel was still bigger than a horse.
"Increase the security around us!" Nie Rang suddenly used the Soul of Weeping to transmit the order.
"You're afraid that he'll turn around and attack?" Yu Ji said.
"Isn't it very likely?" Nie Rang said.
Yu Ji could not refute this. Lu Ping didn't leave their side because he wanted to protect the youngsters, and he didn't care about their actions. If it was just Lu Ping alone, he would have already chased after them and killed them. Lu Ping's previous movements had always been within their grasp. If Lu Ping made such a move, they would naturally be able to deal with it. But now that Lu Ping had suddenly disappeared, if he launched a sneak attack on them, they would really lose their lives.
"If that's the case, then it's a good time to take care of those experimental subjects." Yu Ji said.
"But what if he didn't come and is just hiding there?" Nie Rang said.
"Send a small group to test it out." Yu Ji thought for a moment and said through gritted teeth. If Lu Ping really did that, then this small group of people would be sacrificed. However, they didn't do anything and just kept guessing about Lu Ping's actions. It was too painful, and they felt as if a knife was hanging over their heads.
"That's feasible." Nie Rang's mood was exactly the same as Yu Ji's. He immediately approved of this decision and was about to send people when the spy on high ground sent news.
"Found Lu Ping!" The spy reported.
"What's he doing!" The two hurriedly asked.
"Squatting down." The spy reported.
"Is it an ambush?" The two looked at each other. Fortunately, the intelligence came in time, otherwise they would have lost a small group of subordinates.
"Uh, probably not." The spy's report was hesitant.
"Speak clearly!"
"He didn't do anything … … It's just that when the iceberg collapsed, he randomly found a place to squat down." The spy reported.
"Is he relieving himself?" The subordinates beside Nie Rang and Yu Ji made a wise guess when they heard the report.
"Scram!" The two lords shouted in unison and directly used sound waves to send this think tank flying.
At this moment, there was another piece of news.
