The Rickety Inn was located in Longmen City. Even though it was a little remote, the defense of the secret room was still relatively sturdy. After Luo Ping entered the secret room, he immediately activated the defensive formation and closed his eyes to adjust his breathing.
There were countless experts in the entire Longmen City. Luo Ping had previously discussed with Kong Haotian and Feng Yiming that they would stay in the inn and cultivate until the auction of the Dragon Gate Chamber of Commerce began. That way, they wouldn't attract the attention of experts.
There were still two months before the auction began. Luo Ping didn't want his entrance card to be snatched away by others during this time, nor did he want to be killed by a peerless immortal expert.
Luo Ping and the others were very thoughtful, but they had underestimated the observation skills of those experts. They had already attracted the attention of many people when they first entered Longmen City.
After all, their cultivation was relatively low. They must have entered Longmen City at this time to participate in the auction. How could those experts who didn't have an entrance card not be able to tell?
Three days after Luo Ping and the others stayed in the inn, a peerless immortal expert appeared in the inn and directly barged into the room Luo Ping and the others were staying in.
Luo Ping and the others were adjusting their breathing with their eyes closed in the room when they suddenly felt an extremely terrifying pressure penetrate the defense of the room and affect them.
The three of them were horrified. They immediately stopped their cultivation and put up a defense. They released a powerful protective barrier to resist the attack of the pressure.
"Oh no, judging from this pressure, the attacker must be a peerless immortal expert. It looks like we've been targeted. A peerless immortal expert isn't someone we can deal with. We have to find a way to escape."
Luo Ping transmitted his voice to Kong Haotian and Feng Yiming as he resisted the pressure of the peerless immortal expert.
"There are still many experts in Longmen City who are waiting for an opportunity to snatch the entrance card. Even if we escape the inn, we might attract the attention of other experts. Then we'll have to face even more experts."
Feng Yiming said helplessly.
"But we might die even faster if we don't run. Once a peerless immortal gets serious, killing us is as easy as flipping his hand."
"If we escape from the Rickety Inn, even if we attract the attention of the other experts, we might still have a chance to survive with those experts holding each other back."
Kong Haotian said.
"You're all right. We have to run, but we can't run out of the inn. If we want to get rid of this peerless immortal without attracting the attention of other experts, the only way is to go underground."
"I believe that even a peerless immortal won't be able to catch up to me with my earthmovement technique. As long as we shake off his soul force, we'll be able to escape to another location. I'm afraid we'll have to hide underground before the auction begins."
Luo Ping explained his plan, which was to use the earthmovement technique to escape. His voice was filled with helplessness as he spoke.
"As long as we can shake off this peerless immortal, what's the point of hiding underground for two months? I'm just afraid that experts skilled in earthmovement techniques will appear then. We'll be in deep trouble then."
Kong Haotian said.
"There's nothing we can do about that. We can only take one step at a time."
Luo Ping used the earthmovement technique to first reach Feng Yiming's room. After taking Feng Yiming with him, he quickly entered Kong Haotian's room. After taking Kong Haotian with him, they immediately fled underground.
"Hmm?"
Outside the room, the peerless immortal furrowed his brow in anger. He immediately released an enormous amount of soul force and extended it underground.
The speed at which his soul power extended was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, he had already reached the position of Luo Ping's trio. The powerful pressure contained in his soul power directly shrouded the trio, breaking through Luo Ping's dual domain defense in an instant and attacking the trio.
Pfft!
Bam!
Bam!
Luo Ping and the others spat out large amounts of blood at the same time. All of them were grievously injured. They had no way of resisting a peerless immortal's soul force attack.
If it weren't for the fact that the peerless immortal didn't take them seriously and didn't release too much soul force, the three of them would've been killed on the spot.
Luo Ping couldn't care less about his injuries now that he'd taken the brunt of the peerless immortal's soul force attack. He immediately used Thunderclap Flash and Earthshift to vanish from the ground, causing the peerless immortal's soul force to lose its target.
The peerless immortal, who'd thought he could kill Luo Ping and the others, couldn't help but be shocked when he lost track of Luo Ping and the others. Killing intent erupted from his eyes.
"Hmph, three ants think they can escape from me just because they have some tricks up their sleeves? What wishful thinking! "
The peerless immortal snorted and increased the strength and speed of his soul force. He continued to rapidly envelop the underground, reaching several hundred kilometers in the blink of an eye and covering several thousand kilometers.
The peerless immortal's eyes flashed like lightning. He'd thought he'd be able to detect Luo Ping and the others, but as he continued to extend his soul force, he still couldn't detect the slightest trace of Luo Ping and the others. Shock finally colored his face.
Still, he was a peerless immortal after all. How could he not have other powerful tricks up his sleeve? Seeing that his soul force couldn't detect Luo Ping and the others, he summoned an earthworm-like monster beast and burrowed into the ground.
"How can you three ants compare to my earthworm beast when it comes to earthmovement?"
"Though my earthworm beast is only at the golden immortal realm, it's more than enough to deal with three ants. Your entry cards are mine no matter what."
The Peerless Immortal controlled the Earthworm Beast to move rapidly under the ground. Once again, a cruel smile appeared on his face. He was very confident in his beast. It would definitely be able to find Luo Ping and his companions and kill them.
His goal here was to seize Luo Ping and the others' entry cards. He'd been in Longmen City for many days and had been paying close attention to the happenings in the city.
When he saw Luo Ping and the others arrive in the city, he was certain that Luo Ping and the others possessed entry cards for the auction. Thus, he made the decision to seize Luo Ping and the others' entry cards.
The peerless immortal's earthworm beast was an immortal beast proficient in earthmovement and specialized in earth-attribute energy. Though it hadn't been tamed for long and its cultivation was only at the golden immortal realm, he was confident that it would be able to kill Luo Ping and the others.
The Earth Worm Beast used the Earth Escape Technique and moved several thousand miles below the ground in the blink of an eye. It released the Earth Domain, which directly enveloped the surrounding area of nearly ten thousand miles, and continued to expand.
Not only was the Earthworm Beast's earth-elemental domain larger than a peerless immortal's soul force, but it also possessed earth-elemental energy. Thus, its perception of the underground was many times greater than a peerless immortal's.
Nothing on the ground could escape the Earth Worm Beast's perception as it was enveloped by the Earth Worm Beast's Domain of Earth. Very soon, the Earth Worm Beast's soul power locked onto one of the locations and quickly moved over.
"Oh no, we've been discovered. I didn't expect this peerless immortal to have an earth-attribute immortal soul beast like the earthworm beast. This is really unexpected."
Luo Ping said worriedly.
Although he had already used the Space Drawing Prison Technique to hide the three of them, and used the combination of the Earth Escape Technique and the Thunder Escape Technique to move quickly under the ground, they still couldn't escape the Earth Worm Beast's perception.
Though Luo Ping's earthmoving technique had been cultivated to perfection, there was still a gap between him and the earthworm beast, which was born with earth-attribute energy and earthmoving technique. Moreover, the beast's cultivation had reached the golden immortal realm. Luo Ping naturally couldn't compare with it.
Under such circumstances, it wasn't surprising that Luo Ping's traces were exposed. Seeing the beast approaching rapidly, Luo Ping was worried. He increased his power and increased his speed of escape while launching a fierce counterattack.
He directly released the power of the Earth Mother Heavy Earth, which increased the gravity of the surrounding space by several times and slowed down the beast's movement to a certain extent. At the same time, the Dual Domain Space rapidly expanded and spread. He also released the Bright Serene Treasure Mirror, which released a black and a white brilliance to increase the defensive power of the Dual Domain Space.
Luo Ping had operated the Innate Five Elements Technique and the Bright Serene Heart Sutra to the extreme, but Luo Ping was still worried. He released the Rock Spirit Doppelganger and the Evil Spirits Puppet, which acted as a layer of defense at the edge of the Dual Domain Space.
When Luo Ping launched his counterattack, Kong Haotian and Feng Yiming didn't stay idle. They also launched their own counterattacks.
Kong Haotian directly released the Scholarly Qi Domain Space, as well as the Heavenly Through Writing Brush and the Earth Penetrating Book. They each launched powerful attacks to help Luo Ping resist the approaching Earth Worm Beast.
Feng Yiming released the Slaughter Domain Space, and then used the Kill Immortal Slash. He constantly released powerful sword light, attacking the beast's direction.
Under the combined attack and defence of Luo Ping's trio, the Earth Worm Beast's movement speed was reduced by a lot. This made the Earth Worm Beast feel greatly humiliated. It suddenly became incomparably furious and its aura rose several times.
The power of the Earth Mother Domain Space increased immediately, and began to crush the Domains of Luo Ping and the other two. In a moment, it gained the upper hand. It not only forced the Domains of Luo Ping and the other two to retreat, but also resolved all their attacks.
The Earth Worm Beast then controlled the Earth Mother Domain Space, and unhesitatingly crushed the position of Luo Ping and the other two. It intended to capture Luo Ping and the other two and successfully complete its task.
"The Earth Worm Beast is really powerful. Our defense and attack have no effect at all. It seems that if we want to resist the attack of the Earth Worm Beast, we have to reveal some of our secrets. Otherwise, we will all be buried here."
Luo Ping said in a hurried tone.
At present, their defense and attack were all broken. Seeing the Earth Worm Beast's Earth Mother Domain Space rapidly approaching, Luo Ping had to remind Kong Haotian and Feng Yiming. Even if they had to reveal some of their secrets, they had to use their most powerful means to fight back.
Just as Luo Ping's voice faded away and he was about to launch an attack, a terrifying force directly rolled over and attacked their bodies, causing their injuries to worsen.
