Qi Ping was still very happy about this unexpected harvest.
Not only had he gained a third-rank low-grade artifact cage, but he had also contracted a Golden Core-level spirit beast!
The preciousness of a Golden Core-level spirit beast could be seen just by looking at the rarity and status of Golden Core-level cultivators in the Azure Sky Region. They had truly entered the core pyramid tier.
Third-rank low-grade artifacts were about the same, also extremely rare existences. Some newly advanced Golden Core cultivators did not even have Golden Core-level artifacts.
“This cage artifact can be given to the little stone spirit. With the little stone spirit’s weapon-controlling ability and its enhancement of weapon characteristics, it can maximize the power of a third-rank artifact.”
“By then, with a third-rank artifact in hand, the little stone spirit’s chances of breaking through to third rank will also be greater.”
“Add in the seven second-rank perfection spirit tools obtained last time in Lingxiao City, and that’s enough to raise the little stone spirit’s strength by a whole level.”
As the master of weapons, whether one had powerful artifacts or not meant one’s combat strength could be said to be on two completely different levels.
From that sword intent that tore across the sky above Starfall City, Qi Ping knew that the Hurricane Sword Disciple, who could rank in the top five of this generation of the Qingyuan Sect, had arrived.
“Finally here?”
sensing the enemy’s arrival, Qi Ping was not too worried.
“Although some cultivation time was delayed because of Mo Fan and the old mountain sage, dealing with the Hurricane Sword Disciple should still be no problem.”
As he thought, Qi Ping already had a plan.
Then he stepped out of his residence in one stride. He did not want the place he still had to live in to be destroyed.
Inside Starfall City, when those from the black-market forces saw that figure carrying azure sword aura tear across the sky, they immediately became excited.
Their savior had finally come!
“Hurricane Sword Disciple Lu Ming is finally here!”
“Hahahaha! That damned Lin Ya is finally going to get what he deserves!”
“This time I will definitely reduce him to ashes, if he still has an intact corpse!”
None of these people doubted that the Hurricane Sword Disciple had the ability to kill Qi Ping, because Lu Ming, known as the Hurricane Sword Disciple, was a true disciple of the Qingyuan Sect and one of the most outstanding among this generation of disciples.
Earth-grade wind-attribute cultivation talent, Hurricane Body, Foundation Establishment perfection, and wind sword intent that was about to break through to the second realm. In every aspect he was stronger than Qi Ping, and he also cultivated the strongest core techniques within the Qingyuan Sect!
Especially at this moment, when they saw that figure in the sky radiating transcendent sword intent, they became even more certain of it.
The might of Hurricane Sword Disciple Lu Ming surpassed even Qi Ping’s!
Meanwhile, when the people of Starfall City saw Lu Ming in the sky radiating powerful sword intent, they were somewhat dumbfounded:
“What’s going on with Starfall City lately? Why are powerful experts who are rarely seen on normal days appearing one after another?”
The small portion who recognized Lu Ming’s identity were even more shocked.
“What’s going on? What brought this great figure from the Law Enforcement Hall here?”
“Could it be? It has something to do with Garrison Envoy Lin Ya?”
Some people who knew a bit of the inside story immediately connected the key point. This person had come to deal with Qi Ping!
This made some people who approved of Qi Ping begin to worry.
“Lu Ming of the Law Enforcement Hall has a fearsome reputation. Can the Garrison Envoy hold him off?”
Just as everyone was shocked by Lu Ming’s arrival, Lu Ming also looked down from above and shouted:
“Lin Ya, get out here and accept judgment from the sect!”
“Get out here your ass! Damn! I have legs, I can walk by myself, you brain-dead idiot!”
As soon as Lu Ming’s voice fell, Qi Ping also came out cursing. The other side had not given him any face, so naturally he would not give the other side a pleasant expression either.
“Are you looking for death?”
After hearing Qi Ping’s words, Lu Ming’s expression instantly turned ashen. Ever since he had made a name for himself, it seemed he had never been cursed at to his face like this.
The others who knew Lu Ming’s fearsome reputation also felt a chill down their backs when they heard Qi Ping’s words.
Han Li and Zhang Danu, whom Qi Ping had told to stay inside the formation, were also scared into a cold sweat.
What kind of person was Lu Ming?
But at this point, no matter how worried they were, they could only trust Qi Ping.
However, Qi Ping’s next words almost made them vomit blood.
“You really do seem brain-dead. I’m living just fine, so why would I look for death?” Qi Ping looked at Lu Ming as if caring for an idiot, then continued:
“I’ve already sent back the evidence of others framing me, and I’ve already dealt with everyone involved. Instead of going to the sect to catch the person who framed the Garrison Envoy, you came running here to be cursed at! What a moron!”
What Qi Ping hated most was this kind of person, using a feather as a token of authority, clearly doing dirty and despicable things while insisting on putting on a grand and righteous appearance!
What was more disgusting than a petty villain was this bunch who were clearly a pile of maggots yet insisted on putting on a self-righteous look.
Well, now it was over!
There was no way to avoid a fight!
“You!”
Hearing this, killing intent flashed in Lu Ming’s eyes. The next moment, a long sword radiating a terrifying sharpness appeared in Lu Ming’s hand.
Then the powerful aura of Foundation Establishment perfection, accompanied by incomparably fierce wind sword intent, swept across all directions.
That terrifying power made ordinary cultivators feel stinging pain all over just from a single glance!
Immediately after, that long sword came killing toward Qi Ping at terrifying speed!
In terms of power, this strike was enough to kill a Foundation Establishment perfection cultivator of normal level!
Once this sword appeared, it seemed to become the only thing in this world!
Too dazzling and terrifying!
At the moment the sword appeared, those who wished for Qi Ping’s death were already roaring in their hearts:
“Die! Die! Damned bastard! You brought this on yourself!”
But those standing on Qi Ping’s side began to worry for him, such as Mo Fan and his daughter, who had just received Qi Ping’s kindness the day before.
At this same moment, Mo Yunxi also felt worry rise in her heart for the white-robed big brother who had saved her from hell, and the water-attribute spiritual energy around her surged uneasily.
But the scene that followed exceeded everyone’s expectations.
They saw that in the eyes of the white-robed figure targeted by the sword edge, a light suddenly flashed. The flying sword shooting toward him also trembled imperceptibly, and then a faint blue light curtain instantly covered that flying sword.
Immediately after, a violent explosion sounded. Sword aura swept across, flames scattered, and Qi Ping’s left arm was instantly cut with wound after wound, blood flowing freely!
But strangely enough, although it was clearly Qi Ping who was injured, Lu Ming’s expression changed drastically, while a ferocious smile appeared at the corner of Qi Ping’s mouth.
The next moment, borrowing the force of Lu Ming withdrawing his flying sword, Qi Ping used a movement technique to instantly arrive before Lu Ming along with the flying sword.
Then again countless sword auras swept across and blue rain exploded!
The terrifying attacks carved huge sword marks across the ground!
Many houses were also directly collapsed by the shockwaves!
At the same time, everyone lost sight of Qi Ping and Lu Ming at this moment. No one knew what had happened in this instant, and all sounds were covered by the explosions of battle!
“How is the battle going?”
At this moment, everyone was staring fixedly at the sky. The development of this battle had exceeded all expectations, and no one knew what the crazed Qi Ping had actually done.
It was not until quite a while later, when two blood-soaked figures appeared in midair, that everyone stared in enormous shock at this unbelievable scene.
Because they saw a white figure covered in sword wounds and dripping with blood restraining, in his right hand, a cyan figure whose body had been blasted full of pits and holes.
