Chapter 1192 - Wind Rule
“Wind, rise!” Lu Ping didn’t let himself be outdone, and he released his own Sword Domain, while using the sword move. The sword wind was present everywhere, and the people beneath the fighters moved back constantly because they were afraid of being affected by the attack.
However, it was fortunate that the Divine Tree possessed a mystical power and was able to absorb the shock waves spreading out.
The two Sword Domains ended up colliding, and it was Luo Jin’s that was the brightest because it had a bright moon hung on it and was emanating pure moonlight. As the moonlight shone upon Lu Ping, he suffered countless sword attacks.
Luo Jin had already mastered Ksana Sword Method’s second move, and he could instantly use more than several hundred sword strikes. However, even though Lu Ping seemed isolated and without help, he still had a sharp sword wind around him, and Luo Jin’s several hundred sword strikes couldn’t penetrate through it. Moreover, the sword wind suddenly erupted out and formed a giant sword that attacked Luo Jin. Luo Jin’s Sword Soul and Sword Domain were immediately shattered by it, and such a thunderous sword strike inflicted injuries upon Luo Jing’s whole body. Luo Jin screamed miserably, while his sword flew out of his hand, and he ended up slamming against the hard tree trunk.
Lu Ping didn’t cast his opponent another glance. He sheathed his sword and looked disdainfully at Nangong Xing who was on the ground.
“Since you have already started attacking, why don’t you come at me? I’m fed up with a fly like you, who is crying ceaselessly.” Lu Ping was aware that this guy was behind the attack on Luo Jin, and he had done it on purpose. It was Nangong Xing who had asked Luo Jin to attack him.
As Nangong Xing spoke, he cast a glance at Shangguan Ru. He hoped that she wouldn’t obstruct him. As Shangguan Ru recalled how Nangong Xing had pushed Luo Jin, she decided not to comment on this matter. Nangong Xing wasn’t as interested in this as before because he had witnessed Luo Jin’s end clearly, and Lu Ping’s power had been demonstrated.
“Charge at him together! This guy is too arrogant, and he looks down upon the Sword Tower.” Nangong Xing rolled his eyes and started instigating the other disciples of the Sword Tower. However, the Sword Tower disciples were really tempted by this. They might lose a battle, but they mustn’t lose the whole war, and since their senior brother Luo Jin was beaten to a pulp, they mustn’t just observe this matter helplessly.
The people in the vicinity suddenly realized that Lu Ping would shortly suffer a mishap. There were six Sword Tower disciples, and, if Nangong Xing was added to them, it would be seven people fighting against Lu Ping. Even though they were all weaker than Luo Jin, if they attacked Lu Ping together, he wouldn’t be able to block them.
Shangguan Ru frowned slightly. She disapproved of Nangong Xing’s actions, but she wasn’t close to Lu Ping, even though she had a good impression of him. However, if Lu Ping asked her to help him, she would surely intervene. But it was obvious that Lu Ping didn’t plan to do it.
“You are blabbering so much, even though you are just a heap of trash.” Lu Ping didn’t ask for help. Instead, he even provoked and angered the Sword Tower disciples.
The Sword Tower disciples, who were still hesitating about whether they should do this, lost all their qualms about this matter. “It isn’t like there isn’t anyone in the Sword Tower who can teach you a lesson. You unexpectedly dare to talk big here, don’t you? It’s really foolish!”
“We will let you understand that the Sword Tower can’t be insulted.”
“Charge at him!”
The six Sword Tower disciples attacked him at the same time. They all possessed the Eternal Sword Doctrine’s inheritance, but Lu Ping could discern that they had just reached entry level. It meant that they couldn’t be considered true inheritors of one of the Four Great Sword Doctrines, and, frankly speaking, as long as they couldn’t form a Sword Soul with all five special traits, they couldn’t be considered true inheritors. Among those six people, only four had a Sword Soul, but it had just a single special trait.
Nangong Xing revealed a complacent and ice-cold smile, while he also raised his sword. Even though his sword techniques were weaker than Lu Ping’s, he could still trample upon the latter.
“You should attack after a short while.” The voice of a Sword Tower disciple rang out near Nangong Xing’s ears. Nangong Xing was confused by it, but that voice quickly rang out again near his ears. “We will use the Six Stars Sword Formation.” Upon hearing this, Nangong Xing was both surprised and delighted. It seemed like the Sword Tower disciples would use their true power.
“Ksana Sword Method: the First Move!”
The six Sword Tower’s disciples used the same sword move. But they were all in different positions, and when their swift swords started flying, they formed a Starry Chart. This was the Six Stars Sword Formation mastered by the Sword Tower disciples. This was the ultimate technique of the Sword Tower disciples, and it could only be used through the coordination of the Ksana Sword Method’s moves. There were six people and six swords here, and their swords’ aura engulfed Lu Ping completely.
Even though describing this process takes a long time, everything occurred instantly, and Lu Ping who was in the middle of the Starry Chart bore the attack of 1,000 swords.
“Worldly Wind and Lightning: Wind Apex Sword!”
Lu Ping dealt with his opponents calmly, and he used one of his four strongest sword moves. He had mastered the Wind Lore completely, and his sword was as quick as lightning, and there were still many mysterious Doctrine Symbols intertwining among the sword wind.
“Worldly Rule’s Power?” Upon witnessing such a sight, everyone was dumbfounded. If one who mastered a Lore completely used a Martial Doctrine’s method, he would release an attack with boundless might, which approached a Worldly Rule’s power.
Lu Ping still hadn’t grasped a Worldly Rule completely, but he had almost finished grasping it.
Lu Ping and Luo Jin aren’t on the same level and can’t be compared to each other. After witnessing clearly Lu Ping’s great power, Shangguan Ru couldn’t help but have such a thought.
Meanwhile, the outcome of the confrontation between Lu Ping and the Sword Tower disciples was determined. The Six Stars Sword Formation couldn’t put up any resistance in front of the Worldly Wind and Lightning’s fourth sword move, and it seemed extremely frail. The Sword Tower disciple at the lowest realm level spouted a mouthful of blood and ended up losing consciousness. As for the others, they didn’t fare better, and they all sustained heavy injuries
“What about you? Will you come at me or not?” Lu Ping spoke impatiently.
Nangong Xing had spoken at least 100 sentences to Lu Ping, yet he still didn’t attack him until now. How did Nangong Xing dare to do it? He was just hoping that the Sword Tower disciples would succeed, and who could have expected such an outcome? Nangong Xing didn’t have the gall to confront Lu Ping any longer.
Lu Ping closed his eyes and started pondering about the previous strike, whose power approached a Worldly Rule’s power. All of a sudden, he pointed his sword at Nangong Xing, and the sword wind flew forward and struck him. Nangong Xing’s whole body shook, while pain appeared on his face, and he screamed in a hoarse voice.
Upon witnessing Nangong Xing’s current state, the people in the vicinity could imagine what he was going through. But none of them sympathized with him, and it was the case for even Shangguan Ru.
“Lu Ping, you are skilled, but your opponent is our senior brother Lin, and defeating us doesn’t amount to anything.”
Luo Jin, who had sustained injuries, had already recovered slightly, and he shouted loudly. He could admit that he was weaker than Lu Ping. But he still wasn’t willing to let the Sword Tower’s reputation be tarnished due to him.
“When I defeated your senior brother Lin, will you say that I’m weaker than your Tower Lord?” Lu Ping was still pondering over the previous sword strike. Even though it made Nangong Xing suffer greatly, it still hadn’t attained a satisfactory effect. Lu Ping was quite irritated because his thoughts were interrupted by Luo Jin.
“I will inform you clearly that my senior brother Lin’s Sword Soul is a perfect one with five special traits, and he still reached the Ksana’s highest Eternal State,” Luo Jin spoke angrily. When such words echoed, a commotion arose among the people in the vicinity. A Sword Soul with five special traits? Such a matter alone was enough to let him rival most Junior Heavenly Kings. Moreover, anyone who knew the Sword Tower well was aware of what was the Ksana Eternal State, and Jiang Chen was one of those people. If Lin Tianjian could reach the Ksana Eternal State, then he really deserved fully to be the Eternal Sword Doctrine’s inheritor.
As Lu Ping thought back about his master, he felt like he could rectify his reputation without going to the Sword Tower.
“So what?” Lu Ping’s reply was as calm as before.
Luo Jin snorted coldly and didn’t say anything else. He just pointed at a place atop them and said. “Since you won, this cave will be yours.” A moment ago, they had been fighting the Sacred Martial Arts Academy’s Camp for that tree’s cave. There was a guard standing outside, and he seemed like an iron tower.
“I’m not interested in it.” Lu Ping discerned that it was just a mysterious iron-grade guard, and he wasn’t interested. His goal wasn’t limited to just this, and both Lu Ping, Master Luo Cheng, and Jiang Chen must get into the highest cave.
