"Master, what's wrong? You've been standing there for an hour. Are you still worried about this operation?"
The young girl was about sixteen or seventeen years old. Her delicate facial features were very beautiful. At that moment, her brows were slightly knitted, making her look even more lovable.
Hearing the young girl's voice, the middle-aged woman did not respond. Only after a while did she slowly turn around. Looking at her beloved disciple, she lightly smiled.
"Qing 'er is correct. I am indeed worried about this operation. Teng Zhan decided on his own this time and even dragged me down with him. If we fail, the plan that our Teng and Wu families have planned for several hundred years will be for naught …"
"Thus, even though I am not optimistic about the success of this operation, I still sent out six Foundation Establishment experts to accompany them. I hope that we can successfully subdue the Four Tribes and unify the entire Hong Tian Continent."
"However, Teng Zhan has become even more arrogant and conceited after the previous two battles. He considers everything beneath him. Like this, even if we subdue the north, it will be difficult to predict the outcome of the battle against the experts from the east …"
Although she was worried, the middle-aged woman still very gently and lovingly said a lot to the young girl. This caused the young girl who was originally very confident about this operation to be shaken.
"Then master, what should we do? Should I go and persuade Martial Uncle Teng? Tell him to be careful. "
"No. Remember, do not go find him by yourself. If someone has to go, it should be me. You only need to focus on cultivating on the ship … No, go cultivate right now. Try to stabilize your cultivation as a peak Great General. After you return, go into seclusion and break through to the Martial Lord realm."
Thinking of how Teng Zhan was always lusting after the young girl's beauty, the middle-aged woman became very angry. However, that was his nature. She could do nothing about it. She could only stop the young girl and not let her approach him, so as to prevent her from entering the tiger's den.
"Oh, Qing 'er understands. Then Qing' er will go cultivate. Master, you should also return to your room."
The young girl agreed and left the ship. She returned to her room, leaving behind the middle-aged woman and a few followers. They stood there for a long time before leaving …
… … …
"Radiance Fist!"
With a loud shout from Luo Ping, a lightning-like fist shadow and a mountain-like strength directly bombarded the countless claw shadows opposite him, scattering them one by one.
Then, his figure flashed and disappeared. He appeared behind the person in front of him and punched out again, intending to give his opponent a taste of his own medicine.
However, Barbarian Wolf's reaction wasn't slow either. He moved his feet and easily dodged the attack. He didn't receive any damage. He raised his arms and a purple light flickered on them. A thick layer of golden armor covered them once again.
Unexpectedly, when facing Luo Ping, Man Lang also executed the Purple-Gold Flying Wolf Claw that he had yet to master. After his hands continuously changed a few moves, two purple lights flew out from his arms and intertwined as they flew towards Luo Ping.
Along the way, the two purple shadows gradually turned into two hungry wolves. Their mouths were as big as bloody basins, and their eyes were glowing with a faint green light. All of them were bloodthirsty and murderous.
"Spirit Snake Devours the Sky!"
Above Luo Ping's palms, a light flashed and two Spirit Snake shadows darted out. They were about twenty feet thick. As soon as they appeared, they fluttered up and down, constantly sticking out their tongues.
Luo Ping had used this set of Spirit Snake Palms to deal with Ao Shan last time. However, at that time, it was only as thick as a thigh, and its power couldn't hurt the opponent.
But now, after Luo Ping's strength had increased, not only was the Spirit Serpent Shadow several times larger, but its power was also much stronger than before. Otherwise, he wouldn't have used it at this moment.
"Go!"
The two Spirit Snakes received Luo Ping's command and immediately flew to the opposite side, one on the left and one on the right. They bit and tore at the incoming hungry wolves. The four shadows tangled with each other, and no one was willing to be at a disadvantage.
After Luo Ping and Barbarian Wolf released their phantoms, they didn't stay idle. They once again got close to each other and engaged in close combat. Both of them belonged to the strength type, so this kind of close combat was very exciting for them.
This was already Luo Ping's fifth round of the competition. After defeating Black Widow in the first round, Luo Ping had consecutively defeated Qiao Wan, Venerable Yufeng, and Mad Divine Beggar in front of everyone's incredulous gazes. Only in this round did Luo Ping meet Man Lang.
It had to be said that Luo Ping's consecutive victories had blinded countless people's eyes. It made them feel as if they were in a dream, and they didn't dare to accept this reality.
However, the reality was the reality, and it wasn't up to them to accept it or not. As for the few monarchs on the viewing platform, other than Zong Lie who was still smiling, the other monarchs' faces had already turned as pale as a frosted eggplant.
If Luo Ping won this round, it could be said that he had already defeated the other four countries. How could this not shock them?
Among them, the Elephant Country's monarch, Ba Tianhai, was the most depressed. After all, although his country had many experts that had advanced to the top nine, the probability of failure was also the highest. Apart from Daoist Cang Shan, Black Widow and Mad Divine Beggar had already lost several rounds.
Moreover, both of them had been defeated by Luo Ping. This made Ba Tianhai want to jump up and curse. They had become a stepping stone for Luo Ping, and helped him to obtain a better ranking.
Zong Lie also didn't expect that Luo Ping would be able to win all four matches. Other than giving Zong Yuanhao a tight fist bump, he couldn't think of any other way to express his excitement.
Moreover, apart from Luo Ping, Heavenly Sword Scholar had also won all four matches. It was as if the nine of them had discussed this beforehand. The four people who had won all four matches, Luo Ping, Heavenly Sword Scholar, Broken Sword Butcher, and Cang Shan, hadn't met yet. It seemed that the four of them were destined to compete in the end.
No matter how much Zong Lie and Zong Yuanhao hoped that Luo Ping would win again, or how the other monarchs prayed that Luo Ping would lose, at this moment, Luo Ping and Man Lang had no other thoughts other than to fight.
Fighting in close quarters with such a powerful expert allowed Luo Ping to understand his shortcomings and advantages. It also allowed him to test the strength of his body after reaching the fourth level of Sandalwood's Divine Art.
Although he didn't purely rely on his body to receive Man Lang's attacks, Luo Ping reduced the amount of qi he used bit by bit. From feeling a slight numbness to being scratched by Man Lang's claws, Luo Ping clearly understood the extent to which he should be able to unleash his full potential when fighting against an expert who had reached Greater Mastery of the Innate Realm.
Moreover, through the test, Luo Ping had a rough estimation of the Sandalwood Divine Art. If he cultivated it to the fifth level, he would definitely be able to rely on his body's strength to easily resist the Barbarian Wolf's claws.
Since he already understood his own situation, Luo Ping didn't plan to continue fighting in a stalemate with Man Lang. He decided to use his lightning-fast methods to end this battle.
With this thought in mind, the power of Luo Ping's attacks increased by leaps and bounds, causing Man Lang, who was originally able to deal with Luo Ping's attacks with ease, to suddenly find it somewhat strenuous.
Moreover, it was becoming increasingly difficult for Man Lang to hold on. It was only at this moment that Man Lang came to a realization. It turned out that his opponent hadn't used his full strength in the battle. Although he had some doubts about Luo Ping's successive victories, he now completely agreed with him.
Man Lang fiercely increased the power in his body. He hoped to be able to lock down the situation in a short period of time and turn the tables around so that he could turn his disadvantage into an advantage. However, his thoughts were once again obliterated when they exchanged blows.
Even though he had already used all the power in his body, he was still firmly suppressed. He simply didn't have the chance to turn the tables around. Just as his heart was heavy, the changes in the distance caused his heart to completely sink.
It turned out that his two hungry wolf phantoms had already been destroyed by Luo Ping's two Spirit Snakes. They lost the power to fight and dissipated with the wind.
Man Lang's heart sank to rock bottom. However, he wasn't a person who gave up easily. He still planned to try one last time. When he was fighting against Broken Sword Butcher, he didn't have the time to use it, but now …
"Transform!"
Barbarian Wolf shouted loudly. The purple light on both of his arms flickered incessantly. Moreover, his flesh swelled up high. His two palms gradually transformed into the shape of two wolf heads. The arms behind his back transformed into the shape of a wolf's neck. Other than that, there was nothing else.
Although this kind of transformation was strange, it truly transformed his body into the form of a demon wolf. However, because Man Lang hadn't succeeded in cultivating his cultivation technique, he could only transform his body from the neck up.
As soon as the wolf heads appeared, they opened their bloody mouths and revealed their sharp fangs. They wanted nothing more than to swallow Luo Ping in one gulp. This made Luo Ping stunned for a moment.
He didn't expect that when the wolf heads released their aura, he would actually faintly feel a trace of threat. It was indeed not something that the phantoms from before could compare to. This was a real existence with flesh and blood.
Even so, Luo Ping still faintly smiled. He raised his fist and ruthlessly smashed towards one of the wolf heads.
"Sun Splitter!"
A vacuum tunnel appeared. A powerful force strangled the surrounding air, forcing Man Lang's arms to be unable to move forward at all. Gradually, they were covered by the shadow of the fist. His entire wolf head and neck were swallowed by the tunnel.
Man Lang was greatly alarmed. He quickly used the other wolf head to attack Luo Ping. He planned to use a strategy of besieging Wei to rescue Zhao. However, halfway through, he was blocked by Luo Ping's Qi Wall. It was simply impossible for him to get close.
The vacuum tunnel dissipated and Man Lang's arm returned to its original state. However, it was dripping with blood. It was a ghastly sight. He, who hadn't suffered such an injury for a long time, found it hard to believe.
If he knew that this was because Luo Ping controlled the power of the shadow of the fist, he would be even more speechless. Looking at his injured arm, Man Lang helplessly withdrew his other wolf head. He withdrew his power and returned to his original state.
"Young Hero Luo's power is truly profound and rich. This old wolf sincerely admires you. I have lost this round." Man Lang revealed a smile and spoke from the bottom of his heart.
At this moment, Luo Ping had also withdrawn his attack. When he heard his opponent's words, he also revealed a brilliant smile.
"Senior Man Lang, you praise me too much. This junior was only lucky. If Senior's divine technique had reached the large success stage, this junior would have regretfully lost."
"Haha, you're quite good with words at such a young age. Alright, let's not be pretentious. This old wolf first congratulates you on winning all five matches. Then, I wish you to become the Heavenly Star Rankings."
While speaking, Man Lang had already walked in front of Luo Ping. He pulled him to the side of the arena, intending to discuss matters regarding the battle. Luo Ping didn't refuse. The two of them looked at each other and smiled. They chatted happily.
This time, Luo Ping and Man Lang were the last to finish their matches. Therefore, after the victor was decided, it meant that this round of the competition had come to an end.
Unsurprisingly, just as the audience had guessed, Luo Ping, Daoist Cang Shan, Broken Sword Butcher, and Scholar Heavenly Sword had all won all five matches. Moreover, the four of them had never fought against each other before.
As for the other five people, other than the four of them, they didn't have a single victory against each other. However, this wasn't the end of everyone's attention. Now, everyone was looking forward to the next round of the competition.
