Chen Ping's Sword
Chapter 355 - 175: Dragon Soul Sword Bone, True Celestial Fate (Part 2)
Everyone around gasped.
Tiptoeing to have a look at the list, soon, dozens of people exclaimed simultaneously.
"Liang Qi’s name is also gone, and so is the former leader of the Earth List, Tang Lin’er from the Dharma Aspect Sect."
"Could he have killed them all?"
"What is the Godslaying Needle? I’ve never heard of it."
"I heard it’s from a master of the Inner Court, can’t speak of it..."
In the midst of the buzzing conversation, someone anxiously scratched their head and asked, "Where did this Chen Ping come from? How did he suddenly jump to the top of both lists? Does anyone here know this person?"
"Haven’t you noticed? There’s an eight-word comment following his name. See if it looks familiar?"
"...Heroic Gallantry, Righteousness Reaches the Heavens, isn’t this the comment for Young Hero Tian Qi? I remember in the March list, he was ranked eighteenth on the Hidden Dragon List and thirty-third on the Earth List, how did he rise so fast? Even Tang Lin’er, who was first on the Earth List, is no match for him; is he really that formidable?"
"What do you think, did Tang Lin’er break through to the Unity Realm and leave the list automatically, or was he slain by this Young Hero Chen Ping, or perhaps gravely injured, his martial arts significantly weakened?"
"In my opinion, Tang Lin’er is likely unlucky, even if not dead, he’s in deep trouble.
Some days ago, I heard two Divine Monks from the Wisdom Institute and Prajna Hall of the Dharma Aspect Sect brought eighteen disciples south, presumably for this matter."
One informed martial artist suddenly spoke.
The people surrounding the list, as if injected with adrenaline, discussed incessantly.
They talked about whose ranking rose again, then shifted to the Beizhou Hu Cavalry’s invasion, gradually mentioning the dire situation of the Great Li Dynasty, Esoteric Sect’s esteemed monks arriving in Yujing City, the northern army increased by a hundred thousand, black clouds pressing down on the city, and how Wangcheng is no longer safe.
"Let’s go, if we must leave, why not go ahead? I wonder if the Court will migrate southwards, should we follow the army?"
Weifu Bo already didn’t hear the discussions behind.
She adjusted her conical hat, turned around, squeezed to the front, and looked at the Wind and Cloud List, indeed seeing the top names had changed on both the Hidden Dragon and Earth Lists.
"Is it really Xiaoqi? When I followed him earlier, he did seem to claim to be Chen Ping, Invincible Golden Body, has he practiced the Primordial Golden Body Technique? Perhaps relates to the Primordial Sect..."
Over the past month, the blood battles raged fiercely, every day involved healing injuries or escaping, without keeping up with Jianghu news, yet unexpectedly received such a surprise.
Or rather, shock.
"Wasn’t he supposed to stay hidden, keep low-profile, this..."
This was no longer hiding, but rather fame spreading throughout the world.
Looking at his achievements, obviously, Brocade Guard’s Right Deputy Commander Liang Qi, along with Inner Court masters confronted him.
Why did even experts from the Dharma Aspect Sect and Pei Family die by his hand, what’s this about?
Weifu Bo stared at the list’s name.
Her emotions surged, mouth slightly open, long unable to regain composure.
Compared to him, my fleeing everywhere truly stands little chance.
"Could Xiaoqi really achieve such a feat?"
Thinking of that naturally kind, persistent child who stopped for anyone troubled, Weifu Bo almost pinched her own thigh, checking if she was dreaming.
"Indeed, whether you accept mediocrity or not, you were born to be extraordinary... Once faced with storms, he’ll transform into a dragon."
Weifu Bo suddenly raised her head, her flawlessly beautiful face, always frowning, suddenly bore strands of a smile, captivating the surrounding crowd, momentarily enchanted as if in a dream.
No one dared, or rather cared, to make loud noises, fearing to disturb the descended fairy.
At this point, the dark clouds parted.
Sunlight descended, illuminating Weifu Bo’s body and face, temporarily dissolving all her worries.
No one better understands, what being first on both the Hidden Dragon and Earth Lists represents.
It signifies boundless qi number.
"You’ve grown up, I can let go now, no more hiding and fleeing, striving to divert pursuers. Sister, perhaps I should watch you fight bravely, and see if you can rescue me."
Thinking this, the conical hat atop her head suddenly shattered, the wrap on her shoulder followed suit, abruptly revealing a Seven-Stringed Guqin, her figure soaring into the air.
As the musical notes sounded.
Buzz...
The stone beast in front of the government office suddenly cracked, azure light soared skyward.
From all directions, countless black-clothed individuals surged in.
Some crossed the city gate, others simply leaped, drawing long swords, crossbows in hand, scaled city walls, swept over.
Landing within the city.
In just seven or eight breaths, layers upon layers of black-clothed, gold-embroidered Brocade Guards appeared from all directions.
They raised long knives, shouted ’kill’, and charged forward.
"Xu Jing’an, chasing thousands of miles from south to north, you’ve never thought, today you’d leave your life here?"
Weifu Bo stood atop roof shingles, reaching out, the azure light from the stone beast swiftly arrived in her hand, blending into the guqin.
Her coarse cloth dress’s various knife and sword wounds simultaneously exuded azure light.
Wounds converging, muscles growing, spirit escalating infinitely.
The Seven-Stringed Fairy Guqin slowly played a melody.
The city’s residents suddenly felt as though placed upon the ocean, witnessing the surging azure waves, gradually calming, hearts resting in tranquility.
No longer a trace of violent intention.
Even the tens of thousands of black-clothed murderers softened their gestures, arrows shot from crossbows moved slower.
