A thunderous crash echoed in the next moment.
The sword, blade, and Vein Technique collided.
The four people were entangled once more, with the leaking gusts of wind flying outward like blades; where the four Profound beings stood, even a brief encounter had the ground shaved away like a layer had been cut off.
Besides that, the pressure from the Upper Profound Realm made it hard to breathe. Qin Mo, lying on the grassy slope, dared not raise his head; the pressure from three hundred meters away was too overwhelming for someone at the Body Refining Realm.
Zhantian Qingxuan sensed this and put a hand on his shoulder, causing Qin Mo’s face to regain a hint of color.
At this moment, Bai Peng, who wasn’t engaged in the battle, saw Wen Ping approaching, a hint of surprise appearing on his face. Clearly, he hadn’t expected Wen Ping to be in this Secret Realm.
He had thought perhaps people from Flying Fish Island or Qingkong Mountain could enter, but never imagined Wen Ping could.
Because every piece of parchment was incredibly rare, and it required a major force to have the capability to find them.
As Wen Ping drew nearer, Bai Peng put away the blood-dripping short sword, a hint of a sinister expression appearing on his face, "Sect Leader Wen, you really love to wander around. I just want to ask, is there anywhere you don’t dare to go?"
A Starless Sect Leader, daring to take a seat among the Two-star Sect.
A Starless Sect Leader, daring to provoke on Upper Extreme Realm Mountain, causing his cooperation with Mitian Sect to be forcibly delayed!
"Brother Bai, you and I shall attack together."
Shan Long turned with him to look at Wen Ping, the Meridian Gate opening in that instant.
Both understood that Wen Ping was an Anomalous Profound, able to kill Wei Qianjue, and could kill one of them.
As Bai Peng’s word fell, he instantly pulled out a massive hammer from the Storage Ring, as large as a tiger’s body. With a swing of the giant hammer, a gust of wind swept open, accompanied by the sound of the Meridian Gate, the hammer seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.
Just placing it on the ground, it created a large pit.
Simultaneously, Wen Ping took out his weapon.
A pitch-black Fire Rod!
The crimson-red Meridian Gate opened.
Wen Ping merely waved his hand, and a ball of flame came into being, pouncing towards Bai Peng who was already in the midst of attacking.
However, the ball of flame was directly dispersed by the gale stirred up by the giant hammer, and Bai Peng emerged from the flames, raising the giant hammer to attack. Meanwhile, Shan Long also released a Vein Technique at that moment.
Vein Qi became a dragon!
One hammer, together with a dragon formed by Vein Qi, both charged fiercely at Wen Ping.
Bai Peng shouted angrily, the hammer already before Wen Ping’s eyes, but Wen Ping merely raised the Fire Rod, smashing it against the giant hammer. Naturally, he wielded it with the power brought by his Fire Spirit Body.
The giant hammer exploded in response.
The next moment, Bai Peng was forced to step back a few steps, his hands trembled from the force to the extent that even when he stabilized his body after stepping back, his hands continued to tremble.
And as Wen Ping waved again, the Vein Qi Star Dragon that was a yard long also collapsed.
The two were shocked; Shan Long noticed Bai Peng’s abnormality and shouted from afar, "Brother Bai, are you alright?"
"My hammer was made of meteorite." Bai Peng looked at the giant hammer, broken into several pieces in the distance, a trace of regret appeared on his face.
Aside from regret was astonishment, Wen Ping holding a stick and smashing his giant hammer, and also collapsing Shan Long’s Vein Technique.
He had anticipated Wen Ping would be strong, since he was an Anomalous Profound, but he hadn’t expected Wen Ping would be this strong.
Bai Peng circulated Vein Qi to gradually dispel the numbness in his arm and immediately said, "My giant hammer was crafted from meteorite, yet it was shattered with a single stick hit by him. Brother Shan, attack with full force, there’s something peculiar about this stick in his hand!"
At this moment, Qin Mo, watching from afar, gazed at Qin Tian who appeared increasingly haggard, anxiety flickering across his face.
Suddenly, Qin Tian tossed out a ring, the direction in which it was thrown right where Han Yun stood. After throwing the Storage Ring, Qin Tian staggered backward a few steps, using a blade to support himself.
"This ring is for you!"
Han Zhan, seeing this, hastily chased after the ring. He leaped without regard for killing Qin Tian any longer. Yet just as his hand was about to touch the Storage Ring, a Sword Aura slashed towards the ring.
The Storage Ring remained unscathed but was knocked flying, landing more than a dozen meters away.
Han Yun’s voice followed, "Don’t fall for that old thief’s trap, once the two of them are dead, the item will surely be ours."
"Old thief!" Han Zhan realized suddenly, cursed Qin Tian a couple of times internally, then stopped the steps to pursue the ring, instead returning to attack Qin Tian once more, "Qin Tian, did you think that little trick would fool me?"
Seeing Han Zhan attack again, Qin Tian was retreating step by step, Qin Mo quickly shouted towards Wen Ping, "Sect Leader, my grandfather is reaching his limit."
Seeing Qin Mo , Zhantian Qingxuan helplessly shook her head, thinking internally: This is the cruelty of this world — without strength, you can only watch helplessly as your loved ones die.
Honestly, she somewhat admired this Wen Ping.
Clearly lacking strength, yet daring to proceed.
However, once he went, he likely wouldn’t return.
To say Wen Ping was foolish, perhaps that was true. If he didn’t act this way, he would surely grow into a formidable figure someday. Just with this Flame Anomaly Vein, it was unparalleled in East Lake; once grown, it would be terrifying.
If he could receive guidance from the Divine Profound, his future prospects would be limitless.
At this moment, hearing Qin Mo’s shout, Wen Ping showed an expression of annoyance towards Shan Long, "A good dog doesn’t block the way!"
The Meridian Gate trembled.
A massive Fire Dragon suddenly appeared, hovering above Wen Ping’s head, fixing its red eyes on Shan Long and Bai Peng. The crimson flames instantly attracted everyone’s attention, including Han Yun.
"Flame Anomaly Vein!"
Han Yun was slightly amazed, though this surprise was disrupted by Wanli He’s Vein Technique.
Han Yun’s Sword pressed towards Wanli He.
In an instant, the Fire Dragon above Wen Ping’s head moved, heading towards Bai Peng, the closest.
Startled, Bai Peng launched a Vein Technique towards the Fire Dragon without any reservation. The Yellow Level Middle Grade Vein Technique was cultivated to perfection, yet unable to fend off the Fire Dragon, nor even halt it.
Being far from the caliber of Wei Qianjue, he understood, he couldn’t block this move.
Immediately retreating!
But the next moment, Wen Ping leaped up, the Meridian Gate trembled continuously.
Several Fire Dragons condensed, sweeping like a tide towards the two.
The Fire Dragons collided with the two and then exploded the land beneath their feet. After four explosions, the hundred-meter area was completely annihilated. Except for four giant pits—even the Storage Ring had been turned into ashes.
Zhantian Qingxuan, seeing this, showed a startled expression on her face.
She hadn’t expected it to end ?
Shan Long, Bai Peng, couldn’t even withstand one move?
What were these flames, to not even leave bones?
As three thoughts stirred within, Yu Mo suddenly spoke up, "Looks like I should venture more into Thousand Layers and Ten Layers Tower. If I can master this Anomalous Vein and Fire Dragon Skill, I could also fearlessly face the Upper Realm."
Zhantian Qingxuan didn’t understand Yu Mo’s meaning, just as she was about to ask further, Qin Mo suddenly shouted,
"Sect Leader, save my grandfather."
Zhantian Qingxuan followed the shout and looked, only to see Wen Ping standing before the Storage Ring.
