Hearing what Chu Hantian said, Yelü Baobao felt a chill run down her spine. What did it mean to have a group of beasts? Ten, twenty, thirty, or even more.
Have we ever seen a stampede of horses? Chu Hantian asked seriously.
"Brother, are you joking? Of course I've seen a herd of horses," she replied.
I just imagined those horses replaced by demon beasts; it would be about the same.
"Huh?" Yelü Xiezhen exclaimed in surprise, her mouth agape. Could it really be that Dongba had even lost to Dong Lai?
Hmm, Chu Hantian nodded earnestly.
In the Bright Cleaving Formation, Zhang Liuyuan was tirelessly using his thick spiritual power to forcefully shatter the sword lights that were attacking him. Beyond that, he seemed to have no other way out, indicating that Yan Dong and Zhang Liuyuan were indeed running out of options.
Bu Luo never underestimated a cultivator; the longer one lived, the more tricks they had up their sleeves. "I don't deny," he said playfully.
Hmph.
With a cold snort from Zhang Liuyuan, the Willow Leaf Sorrow Blade flew from his hand, its azure light instantly spreading across the entire formation. Those sharp beams of light were gradually worn down by the willow branches, dissipating into the air. It was truly impressive how he broke through with sheer force.
That was quite interesting.
Gu Ping directed his sword straight at Zhang Liuyuan's forehead; the blade moved in an instant. Bu Luo noted that both of them had unleashed their artifact techniques. What surprised Zhang Liuyuan even more was that Gu Ping was multitasking—using his artifact technique while charging towards him for close combat. It was astonishing how terrifying Gu Ping was in close quarters; he seemed like a humanoid beast, with no part of him unarmed. Every move made it difficult for Zhang Liuyuan to counter.
How could there be such a person? Where did this cultivator come from? How had he never known someone like this existed?
Zhang Liuyuan's mind was filled with questions. Clearly, Gu Ping's relentless pressure had left him somewhat disoriented, unsure of what was happening.
Had he become weaker? He couldn't deny it. The current cultivators were stronger than ever. Even the Golden Core Cultivator he faced earlier had struggled against his recent attacks, so how was it that Yan Dong, a Golden Core Cultivator, seemed to grow fiercer with each exchange? What about Coco?
As Zhang Liuyuan lost focus for just a moment, he received a heavy blow to his chest from Gu Ping, snapping him back to reality. He quickly recalled his artifact, but the brick he had summoned fled. His legs felt like jelly as he thought only of escaping that strange place, no longer wanting to engage with Gu Ping.
Outside the secret realm, countless cultivators sighed deeply, astonished at Zhang Liuyuan's retreat and even more surprised by Gu Ping's strength. Like Zhang Liuyuan, they pondered the same question: where did this person come from, and how was he so powerful?
He won? The half-step Transcendent Practitioner fled? Yelü Baobao found it hard to believe.
He fled. Yelü Xiezhen nodded in confirmation.
It was time for them to counterattack.
The moment Mu Yu saw Gu Ping appear, she knew that although his name, clothes, and face had changed somewhat, she recognized him as the one who once sought to protect her from behind. He had never truly left.
Thank you.
Gan Yuan helped Mu Yu to her feet. After suffering multiple heavy blows, Gan Yuan found it difficult even to bow.
No need for that. I’ll consider it gratitude if I don’t trouble him.
Gu Ping said as he took out a pill and handed it to Gan Yuan.
"Should I take the poison or not?"
"Take it."
Gan Yuan trembled as he reached for the pill and swallowed it. The moment he ingested the elixir, he felt a warm current flow into his dantian, quickly beginning to heal his severely injured body.
Looking at Gan Yuan's astonished expression, Gu Ping smiled and walked over to Mu Yu, and the two of them headed toward the mountain peak.
"Hey, wait for him!" Gan Yuan called out from behind. "What kind of medicine is that? How can it have such powerful effects?"
"I don't deny it," Gu Ping replied. "It's just some Stardust Grass processed with Light Spirit Power. It's merely a refinement of spiritual energy."
"Three years ago, you..." Gan Yuan hesitated. "Aren't you going to hand it over?"
Hearing Gan Yuan's words, Gu Ping suddenly stopped in his tracks. After a moment of thought, he said, "Perhaps sometimes, fate really isn't in our own hands."
Gan Yuan didn't ask further; he understood Gu Ping's choice. If The Book of Radiant Path wasn't handed over, they would face the joint assault of the Five Great Sects. But if they did hand it over, they would suffer the full retaliation of the remnants of the Light Path Classic. Although the numbers were different, the outcome would be the same—there was no escape.
