"Senior Apprentice Huo Ying?"
Lu Ping's tone was filled with uncertainty. His impression of Huo Ying was that in the Seven Stars Valley of the North Style Academy, he would lie on the bamboo chair all day under the spring sun, lifeless like a corpse. The occasional movement of his body would move people.
But right now, in the cold wind and snow, Huo Ying's face was full of life as he stood there like a javelin. He paid no attention to the xiuzhe charging in all directions, only looking at Lu Ping.
"It's me." Hearing Lu Ping's call, he smiled. At this time, even though Nie Rang did not sense anything behind him, he still heard this voice clearly. Without even turning his head, he had already struck backwards with a backhand strike.
"Careful!"
Maulin cried out in alarm. Huo Ying heard this, but did not react to the attack. Instead, he sent a grateful smile towards Morin who warned him.
After that, Huo Ying did not use any technique, but Nie Rang's Spirit Power suddenly disappeared halfway through his attack. Without waiting for the crowd to be surprised, Yu Ji, who was torturing the youth, suddenly cried out in shock. Nie Rang's attack had suddenly jumped out from in front of him. Fortunately, his aim was slightly off, otherwise, this sudden attack would have caused him to inexplicably die there and then.
Kicking away a youth charging at him, Yu Ji turned to look in this direction. Nie Rang, who had already turned around, also saw that his attack had somehow flown to where Yu Ji was. Narrowing his eyes at Huo Ying, he thought with lingering fear of what Lu Ping had just called this person.
Senior Apprentice Huo Ying?
Huo Ying?
"Yu Heng's head disciple Huo Ying?" Nie Rang's expression changed. The four henchmen of the Lin Family could look down on most people, but the head disciple of the Seven Peaks of the Big Dipper was not one of them. In the battle of the Seven Stars Valley, the heads of the seven peaks and even the seven academicians had fought fiercely, because their opponents were the top figures of the other three academies that were not inferior to them. Only this kind of battle at the peak of the cultivation world could cause these important people to be in such a sorry state.
The four henchmen of the Lin family were still a distance away from these top figures. If they were still in Dongdu, Nie Rang, who was a member of the Green Peak Lin family, would have already put on a smiling face and tried to make friends with others. However, the Lin Family was the main culprit behind the chaos at the North Style Academy. If possible, Nie Rang was willing to conceal his identity.
But was it possible?
Nie Rang stared at Huo Ying. Huo Ying, whose identity had been exposed, smiled casually and said, "That's all in the past."
"Should I call him Academician Yu Heng now?" A voice came from the void, following which the snow and wind seemed to blur for a moment, and a figure had already walked out of thin air, but he did not even look at Nie Rang, his gaze only landing on Lu Ping.
"What the hell is with that dog skin on your face?" the person asked.
"Ah?" Lu Ping touched his face. Only then did he remember that the mask was still on his face. It was just that he wasn't too sure what it looked like after going through so many battles. This disguise, now it seemed that he did not know what meaning it had. From the moment he stepped into Yan Bei town, he had been seen through at a glance. Then, had his identity ever been concealed? It didn't seem like it at all! But Lu Ping did not forget the original intention of bringing this disguise. That was to not let the Black Army Empire know that he was currently not overseeing the Wind Whisperer Academy. He hurriedly took out a new one from his bosom and changed the one on his face. Immediately, there was a new face.
"The person is about to disappear, and you are still playing tricks?" the person said in disdain. Following that, he finally swept a glance at Nie Rang, "Who is this?"
He did not recognize Nie Rang, but Nie Rang recognized him. He was one of the renowned Big Dipper academicians, Megrez Peak's Chen Jiu. After the head disciple of the Seven Peaks, another academician of the Seven Peaks suddenly appeared. Nie Rang was already nervously thinking about how he could escape.
Morin who saw a strong support hurriedly jumped out to answer, frantically introducing Nie Rang to everyone, "This is Nie Rang, one of the four great henchmen of the Green Peak Lin Family."
"Forget it." Chen Jiu waved his hand, no matter what, Nie Rang was still considered a famous person in the continent, but he had a look of disdain, "This damnable weather, let's hurry up and finish this business."
Hearing this, Nie Rang did not have the slightest bit of hesitation. With a stomp of his feet, he suddenly rose from the ground and leapt into the air. He knew that he was trapped in a custom-made space. Seeing the few strange changes from before, it could be assumed that this was Huo Ying's most proficient "Moving Maze". No one knew the profoundness of this kind of signature ability. Nie Rang only saw that the custom-made space had already expanded to where Yu Ji was. He was afraid that rushing left and right would not be a solution, so he might as well leap upwards and see if he could first escape from this custom-made area.
Who knew that before he had even leapt up two meters, the wind and snow directly above him suddenly became blurry like when Chen Jiu appeared. Nie Rang knew that something was wrong, but it was already too late to change. That blurry blur had already turned into a human figure in the blink of an eye. A green light flashed out from the human figure and tapped towards the leaping Nie Rang.
Boom!
No one would have thought that this seemingly light tap would actually cause such a loud explosion. In order to escape, Nie Rang had already leapt up to the limit, but in the end, he could not withstand this green light. Amidst the loud noise, his upward momentum had completely reversed, and he shot straight towards the ground like a cannonball.
Boom!
After one sound came another.
Nie Rang fell straight into the ground, smashing out a human-shaped snow pit. In the pit, he vomited blood incessantly. In his somewhat blurry vision from the shock, he saw the figure slowly descend, accompanied by a green flag that fluttered in the wind and snow.
Pfft!
Nie Rang immediately vomited another large mouthful of blood.
As long as the green flag did not fall, no one could cross the Big Dipper mountain gate at the foot of Alkaid Peak. This was a legendary description. Was there even a need to guess the identity of the person descending before him? Naturally, it was the Alkaid Peak Academician, Ruan Qingzhu, who wielded the Divine Weapon, the green flag, and guarded the Big Dipper mountain gate.
One Head Disciple of the Seven Peaks, and two Academicians of the Seven Peaks? No, just now Chen Jiu had said that it should be three Academicians of the Seven Peaks. With such a lineup, other than vomiting blood to show respect, what else could Nie Rang do?
"What are you dawdling about?" Ruan Qingzhu, who had appeared in mid-air and struck Nie Rang with one blow, did not even look at Nie Rang who had sunk into the snow pit. She frowned and stared at Huo Ying and Chen Jiu.
"Lu Ping is about to die." Chen Jiu said.
"Lu Ping?" Ruan Qingzhu looked left and right until Chen Jiu raised his hand and pointed at Lu Ping who was right in front of her eyes.
"Academician Ruan." Lu Ping called out.
"It's a disguise." Huo Ying knew that Ruan Qingzhu was not good in this area. Although the mask on Lu Ping's face was scolded by Chen Jiu as dog skin, it was actually very exquisite. Ruan Qingzhu probably could not see any clues, and hurriedly went forward to explain.
"He's about to die, and you still don't dare to let him see?" After Ruan Qingzhu understood, she did not ask any further and turned to glare at Chen Jiu.
"It's not that he's about to die, it's just that we arrived in time, otherwise he would have been beaten to death." Chen Jiu said.
"Beaten to death?" Ruan Qingzhu's expression was clearly more shocked than when she could not recognize Lu Ping. She could accept that Lu Ping was terminally ill, but she did not believe that Lu Ping was about to be beaten to death.
"It took quite a lot of energy." Lu Ping explained helplessly.
"Then you rest first." Ruan Qingzhu still did not ask any more questions. She looked around, and her gaze finally landed on Yu Ji.
At this time, Morin could not help but look around, at the sky, and at the ground. Unable to bear it, he had to ask: "Will someone else suddenly appear?"
"No, it's just the three of us." Huo Ying smiled.
