The icy peaks of Jie River could not be destroyed by human strength, not even by the great powers of the xiuzhe. Therefore, in this already extremely difficult and bitter cold land, Jie River was viewed by the people of Dark Academy as the most dangerous of dangerous places.
The Lin Family had secretly supported the wandering factions of Dark Academy, forming the Four Roads of Dark Academy and setting up their base in Jie River. They had gone through a lot of trouble to create this natural barrier.
But this was an impenetrable terrain, but Lu Ping had used his fists to create a path. This was not something that a human could do, nor was it something that a xiuzhe could do. But he had managed to do it with his current cultivation level that only existed in the imagination of xiuzhe. The price he had paid was extremely great.
Was it worth it?
Lu Ping did not consider this question at all. Even at the moment of life and death, all he thought about was whether or not he could survive, even if it was a one in ten thousand chance. But he did not even think about how he had ended up in this state.
"They're here." He only looked in front of him, looking at the two figures that seemed to be the leaders of the other side, quickly approaching them.
Nie Rang and Yu Ji were far stronger than their subordinates. After receiving Lin Baiying's clear signal, the two did not fear death and took the lead to stand in front of Lu Ping.
Their eyesight was equally sharp and they both noticed the large patch of blood on the snow by Lu Ping's feet.
"What are you looking at, can't you spit out a few more mouthfuls of blood?" Morin was full of confidence in this kind of situation. Thinking that he was not going to survive, he instantly felt that no one could do anything to him. He knew that he was not a match for these two, but he still walked forward boldly.
"You stand back." Lu Ping said.
"We're all going to die, why fight over who will die first?" Morin said.
Lu Ping was silent for a moment and then nodded. "You're right."
"Damn, I thought you were going to say 'not necessarily'!" Morin spat on the ground. At this moment, he didn't even fear Lu Ping. So what if he had six spirits connected? He couldn't even beat someone with four spirits connected!
Nie Rang and Yu Ji frowned when they saw him. The two of them didn't forget Lin Baiying's care and entrustment to this person. In the end, they didn't give an explanation. In other words, the previous order was still in effect. They couldn't kill this person.
But, if this person insisted on protecting Lu Ping, what should he do?
Right now, the two of them were having a headache over this matter, especially when they saw this person blocking their way without a care in the world.
"Just take Lu Ping. Don't be a busybody." Nie Rang took a step forward and said in a half-threatening and half-tempting manner. What he was holding on to was the thing that everyone cared about the most, the thing that mattered most to them: their lives.
Before Morin could say anything, Lu Ping, who was behind him, immediately spoke.
"Then you can go." Lu Ping said.
"I don't think that's a good idea." Morin hesitated. Originally, he saw that the other party was very strong and could probably crush him like an ant. Thus, Morin didn't feel that he was causing trouble for the other party. This attempt to make him not get in the way with threats and promises was indeed unexpected.
"Why wouldn't it be good to be alive?" Lu Ping said with a smile.
"That's true. Then I'll go first?" Morin said.
"Go."
"I'll get revenge for you later." Morin said.
"Okay."
"Those two." Morin turned around and pointed. "Leave your names."
"Nie Rang."
"Yu Ji."
The two of them didn't hide it. The Lin Family didn't want to hide their names at this point, but rather to start anew.
"Green Peak Lin Family's Nie Rang and Yu Ji?" Morin had been in Jianghu. The Green Peak Lin Family's four great henchmen were famous both in the court and in the cultivation world. Although they were just servants in the end, as the saying goes, the Prime Minister's doorstep was a seventh-rank official. The Lin Family's henchmen weren't even qualified to be looked at in the eye.
The two of them disdained to answer Morin's question. Their expressions were the same as directly admitting it. After Morin scratched his head, he turned around and said to Lu Ping, "The other party's background is quite big. It may take some time to get revenge."
"That's convenient for you." Lu Ping said with a smile.
"Then I'll go."
"Be careful."
Morin turned around and really walked to the side. Lu Ping watched his back for a while, then turned around and looked at Nie Rang and Yu Ji.
Nie Rang and Yu Ji were stunned. They had said this kind of threats and promises many times, but it was really rare to see such an effect so quickly. Generally speaking, they had to give some real benefits or ruthlessness. They had never seen someone so tactful. Moreover, they had also heard the conversation between Lu Ping and Morin. It didn't seem like a separation of life and death. It was more like friends saying goodbye to each other after a meal.
Under normal circumstances, the two of them would have spent more time thinking about it. After hearing such a conversation, it was even more likely that they would kill Morin as well. However, this time, the family head had specially instructed them to do so. Seeing that Morin was really going to leave, the two of them raised their hands to signal their subordinates not to stop him after a while.
Then everyone looked at him together. From various angles, Morin's leaving figure revealed the heaviness in his heart. His steps were very slow. Each step seemed to be a very fierce struggle in his mind, and each step seemed to be filled with hesitation.
"Don't let him stall for time." Lin Baiying's voice suddenly rang in Nie Rang and Yu Ji's ears.
"Damn!" The two of them suddenly understood. They had almost been pecked in the eye by a sparrow after hunting eagles for a lifetime. The two of them anxiously looked at Lu Ping. They didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but in this short period of time, they seemed to see that Lu Ping's complexion seemed to have improved a lot.
"That brat, hurry up and scram!" Nie Rang suddenly roared, but also used the impact of the soul of the cry. Wherever the sound wave passed, it was like a violent wind sweeping the ground, sweeping up the snow around Morin and sending it flying.
Then, they saw Morin slowly turn his head. "I've decided not to leave."
"Brat!" Nie Rang shouted sternly, already prepared to make Morin suffer. The family head only said that he wanted him alive, but he didn't say that they were not allowed to make things difficult for him. The two of them just knew their limits and didn't want to make things difficult for this guy that the family head had specially instructed. Seeing that this guy looked like he wasn't serious at all, but in reality, he was endlessly buying time for Lu Ping. Finally, they couldn't be lenient anymore. They had followed Lu Ping all the way here, so how could they not know what was going on? He wasn't seriously injured, but he had expended too much energy. What he needed was time. Who knew if his recovery speed would be as incredible as his battle speed with his Six Spirits Connected Realm?
In a flash, Nie Rang rushed towards Morin. Of course, this attack wasn't meant to kill; it was only meant to teach him a lesson. But how could Lu Ping know about this? When he saw Morin attack, he instinctively rushed out as well. Although he started later, he arrived first, blocking the two of them. On the other side, when Yu Ji saw Lu Ping move, he also moved. His figure flashed, and although his speed wasn't as fast as Lu Ping's, it was still far beyond the reach of the other youths. Yu Ji had already landed between them when they saw that he was charging towards them, but just as this thought flashed through everyone's mind, he was already in their midst.
Some of the youths immediately attacked Yu Ji, but no matter what kind of strange talent they had, in Yu Ji's eyes, their combat skills were unbearably crude. He could easily neutralize them. But in order to establish his might, his first attack was a heavy one. He smashed the head of the first youth who had charged at him.
Then, a bloody hand shot out, grabbing a second youth by the neck and hanging him in midair. Yu Ji swept a threatening gaze around him, and the other youths who had tried to charge at him immediately froze in place. Yu Ji casually waved his hand, grabbing another youth. He lifted the two youths in front of him like two shields. Then, he turned to look at Lu Ping. "Are we going to ignore these youths?"
"They're all going to die. I can't do anything about it." Lu Ping looked around. His opponents had already surrounded him.
Yu Ji hadn't expected Lu Ping to reply like this. For a moment, he didn't know what to say. On the other side, Nie Rang took advantage of the time when Lu Ping was answering to suddenly rush forward and launch an attack at Lu Ping.
Lu Ping swung his arm to block. Just this action alone was enough for Morin to understand how powerless Lu Ping was right now. When Lu Ping fought with others, when did he ever "block" something like this? It was always you throwing a punch at me, and I'll return it with a punch. Then, I'll send both your body and your fist flying.
Block?
"Leave this kind of thing to me!" Morin yelled. He moved with the wind, and with a flash, he appeared in front of Lu Ping. When Morin began to fight seriously, even if his four souls were connected, he would still be able to contend with him for quite a while. Right now, Nie Rang didn't dare to attack him too heavily, so they actually exchanged quite a few blows.
How meticulous and cautious was Morin? As soon as they began to fight, he could sense Nie Rang's apprehension in his attacks.
Apprehension that Lu Ping was at the side? That couldn't be. If he had apprehension towards Lu Ping, why would he dare to fight here? Could it be that he had apprehension towards him? Was his earlier pretense still effective?
Morin was still analyzing, but he didn't know that his opponent was more than enough to deal with him. At this moment, he casually dealt with it. On one hand, he had Lin Baiying's instructions, and on the other hand, he was closely watching Lu Ping's movements. Seeing that Morin was distracted, Nie Rang's figure flashed, and he brushed past Morin's side. He raised his palm and slapped towards Lu Ping.
Lu Ping had expended the most of his Soul of Cry. At this moment, he couldn't even use the Break of Hearing, so he didn't guard against Nie Rang's sudden attack. This palm hit his chest, and sent Lu Ping flying. Fortunately, Nie Rang still had apprehension in his heart, and he still held back. Otherwise, for a cultivator of his realm, this palm strike was no different from a sharp blade piercing through his heart.
Seeing that Lu Ping couldn't resist at all, Nie Rang was overjoyed. Morin, who was at the side, still wanted to come over and pester him. He didn't want to waste any more time, and kicked Morin away.
"Go!"
He waved his hand, and sent a signal to his subordinates to attack together. Actually, there was no need to do so at this moment. Lu Ping couldn't resist, and he alone was enough to deal with him. Yu Ji could also control the life and death of the group of youths at will. Currently, he had only slapped one person to death, and it seemed that the situation was very favorable. These youths could perhaps be brought out and used again.
However, after Lu Ping realized that their original method couldn't control the Soul of Ecstasy on Lu Ping's body, they didn't dare to stay any longer.
Kill!
Nie Rang dashed forward again, and his four fingers formed a knife, slashing towards Lu Ping's heart. Morin, who was kicked a few meters away, was heavily impacted by Nie Rang's Soul of Cry. At this moment, half of his body was numb, and just when he wanted to get up, he fell down again.
He had no more strength!
Lu Ping sighed. For the last time, he didn't look at anyone, but raised his head to look at the vast sky. However, the fatal blow that should have come didn't arrive. When he looked back, he realized that Nie Rang was still rushing towards him, but the distance between the two of them seemed to be thousands of meters, and he actually couldn't cover the distance even after a long time.
This is … Lu Ping was stunned. This strange feeling seemed to be somewhat familiar. At this moment, Nie Rang also realized that something was wrong, and stopped. Following that, he heard Morin's voice from beside him, "Who is it?"
This kind of childish method again! Nie Rang was angry, but he didn't expect Lu Ping to look behind him, and when he saw the figure, he was stunned for a long time before he called out.
