Chapter 138 My Name is Zhou Yunchang
"Boy, you dare to kill our Bai Family members." Several figures rushed out, their faces cold and filled with a murderous aura.
They were all powerhouses in the late stages of King Tao, incredibly strong.
With a raise of their hands, terrible attacks ensued.
Everyone was alarmed.
Before Chen Pingping could make a move, an elderly man in white robes came out from another direction. With a wave of his sleeves, several thick Sword Dao beams slashed towards this place.
The man in white robes said, "Let the young people settle their disputes. Bai Family... do you intend to overstep your bounds?"
These were the rules.
But the powerhouses of the Bai Family couldn't tolerate such disgrace, nor could they bear Chen Pingping challenging their family so easily in front of everyone.
This person had to be killed.
However, the man in white robes who stepped out was also not to be trifled with. Coming from the Hall of Nameless, he had generations of grievances with the Bai Family, and it was for this reason he intervened and helped Chen Pingping fend off this calamity.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
The Bai Family powerhouses retreated.
Chen Pingping said to the elder, "Thank you!"
The man in white robes simply nodded, not saying much more. It wasn't really about friendship; he just didn't want to see the Bai Family's arrogance.
He turned and left the scene.
"Kid, you're really lucky," a young man nearby chuckled. "An elder from the Hall of Nameless saved you from one disaster, but next time you may not be so fortunate."
Oh?
Chen Pingping was surprised. "Why?"
The young man pointed ahead. "See that? That group of peerless geniuses, each capable of sweeping through an area, and there's Liu Changqing from Martial God Academy, as well as the Tianxuan Saintess. You don't stand a chance."
"I think rather that their nightmare has arrived," Chen Pingping said confidently.
Everyone laughed. Does this kid think that after killing Bai Yunfei, he's invincible? Each person up there has that kind of power! Moreover, rumors had it that the Saintess and Liu Changqing had both reached the Realm of Divine King, standing at the pinnacle of King Tao. Together with their backgrounds and various cultivation methods, once they exploded in strength, even powerhouses of the First Heaven of Divine King could be shaken. With that... what will you use to contend with them?
Chen Pingping strode forward, quickly surpassing that group of geniuses.
BANG!
Just then, someone attacked from the side with an unparalleled Power Path punch, directly crushing down.
It was a delicate-looking woman.
She grinned. "I want to see just how strong you are."
She was at the Sixth Heaven of King Tao, with a powerful and imposing Power Path punch.
In her grand movements, there seemed to be a hint of Perfection...
"Miss Shangguan has truly comprehended that punch technique, remarkable..." someone remarked.
Within the punch, void imprints appeared, one after another, as if they were blossoming buds or a devouring process.
Upon closer inspection, the imprints resembled the shape of beasts.
Very terrifying.
But still... they couldn't trouble Chen Pingping.
He suppressed his realm to the early stage of King Tao, but in reality, his true combat strength had already surpassed all the geniuses of his age, including Liu Changqing and the Saintess...
To put it bluntly, even if all the geniuses here joined forces against him, he would not be afraid.
A mere punch technique, how could it hurt him?
Chen Pingping extended a finger, without brilliance or momentum, just a mighty force bursting forth, instantly pulverizing the opponent's fist.
Shangguan Qingqing was startled, taking several steps back.
But that force had already descended upon her—not a sword, nor a blade, but a simple heaviness.
It shook her to the core, her body unable to bear the weight, nearly causing her to kneel right there.
When she recovered, Chen Pingping had already walked far away.
Damn it!
Shangguan Qingqing's face darkened, looking extremely ugly.
The Cultivators gathered here were astounded. Even Shangguan Qingqing couldn't stop him?
Chen Shixian, still advancing, saw this scene. It was more complicated than when he had killed Bai Yunfei... He... was actually this powerful.
"Incredible," Zhou Boyi sighed. "Although Shangguan Qingqing's Dragon Elephant Fist has not evolved to its extreme, her fist intent is nearly perfected. Under such an outburst, even I would have to temporarily retreat."
Zi Ji raised an eyebrow and curled her lips without speaking. My senior brother can easily slay the strong from Chong Tower, so how could one or two geniuses possibly harm him?
Guang Xiaoyu would probably laugh and say, "Exactly, exactly, you're right."
「Ahead!」
A man in green whispered, "Inconceivable that he could have made it this far."
What was even more inconceivable was Chen Pingping's composure, as if the overwhelming force here was meaningless to him.
He walked as if on flat ground.
His target was clear: the great tomb right before his eyes.
"Stop," the Saintess murmured softly.
With her words, a shock ran through all directions.
The world fell silent because of her; everyone held their breath, closely watching the Saintess. Is she going to make a move?
It seemed something formidable was hidden in the great tomb, that even a high and mighty genius like the Saintess felt the need to act against Chen Pingping.
However, Chen Pingping was as if blind to it all, continuing to move forward.
The Saintess frowned slightly, clearly displeased. Her white dress flowed without any wind, and just as he was about to pass her by, she suddenly waved her hand.
Her sleeve turned into a breeze, the breeze concealed the Sword Dao. It was very light, impossible to capture, and difficult to sense. But when the Sword Dao slashed down, everyone could vividly feel the chilling coldness, as if the air itself was about to freeze.
Chen Pingping stopped in his tracks rapidly as the cold Sword Dao descended in front of him. With a rumbling sound, a long and deep ravine appeared on the ground beneath his feet.
Is she insane?
He lifted his head. "What is this? Am I so quickly listed as an enemy of the Saintess?"
The Saintess shook her head. "No!"
"Then why did the Saintess strike?"
"If you insist on proceeding further, those lurking in the dark and powerful will inevitably take action against Princess Zi Ji. I hope you consider this carefully," she said.
Her tone was flat, like a still well.
Chen Pingping laughed. "I thought the Saintess aimed to clear the road of unbeatable enemies; I see now... In that case, I appreciate the Saintess's concern for the Princess on her behalf."
So? Still not willing to leave, right?
She spoke no further.
She had kindly advised him, only once, and would absolutely not do so a second time.
As for the consequences, it was not her place to bear them.
At this moment, Liu Changqing spoke up, "The Saintess is correct. It isn't worth it to lose someone important for the sake of a mere opportunity."
"Thank you both for your concern," Chen Pingping responded.
The two exchanged glances, both at a loss for words.
This guy in front of them was too stubborn. In this situation, he still sought an opportunity; did he really believe that those lurking in the shadows wouldn't take action? They were certain that if Chen Pingping took even one step further, trapped in this small area, someone would target the Princess. It was a pity, such a promising talent.
"The closer you get to the great tomb, the greater the gravity you'll need to withstand. Fellow Daoist... seeing you walk so lightly and casually, don't overexert yourself. It's not good for your health!" someone joked with a laugh from the side.
"May I ask who you are?" inquired Chen Pingping.
"I'm just a Loose Cultivator without a Sect. Oh, and by the way, my name is Zhou Yunchang." He smiled and said, "I saw Fellow Daoist slay Bai Yunfei with a single blow and easily repel Shangguan Qingqing. Truly impressive. Could it be that you've already entered the latter stage?"
He was quite chatty, with an air of familiarity.
"Fellow Daoist, you must be careful from now on! That woman is penny-pinching and petty-minded. After you've defeated her so publicly, she'll likely make things difficult for you in the future," Zhou Yunchang advised.
「Not far away!」
Shangguan Qingqing's face turned dark as she yelled, "Zhou, do you think I can't hear you? Are you asking to die?"
