Ling Xi widened her eyes, filled with surprise and admiration. She had originally thought that although Chen Ping’s strength had grown rapidly, he still had a clear gap compared to an expert like the Third Hall Master.
However, it now seemed that Chen Ping fully possessed the ability to fight the Third Hall Master, and even showed signs of suppressing him.
“Chen Ping, you are truly amazing!”
Ling Xi could not help but call out softly. Her hands gripped tightly, her nails turning white from the force.
She felt thrilled by Chen Ping’s outstanding performance, and her feelings for him grew even stronger.
The Witch Prince and the Great Elder had gloomy expressions. They had originally thought the Third Hall Master could easily deal with Chen Ping, then join them in handling the God King Palace’s guardians.
Yet now, the Third Hall Master was being pushed back steadily by Chen Ping, which filled them with shock and unease.
“What opportunity has this Chen Ping obtained? His strength has improved so quickly?”
The Great Elder narrowed his eyes and pondered inwardly.
Looking at Chen Ping’s powerful sword intent, a greedy urge rose in his heart. If he could seize Chen Ping’s fortune, his own strength would surely advance to a higher level.
The Witch Prince gritted his teeth, his eyes full of anger and reluctance.
As the prince of the Evil Path Temple, he was always high above others. When had he ever witnessed such a frustrating scene?
Staring at Chen Ping, he secretly vowed that when the chance came, he would kill Chen Ping with his own hands to vent his hatred.
The Third Hall Master’s subordinates were even more terrified.
They had originally thought following the Third Hall Master to the God King Palace would be a sure win, with plenty of benefits to gain.
But now, seeing the Third Hall Master beaten so miserably by Chen Ping, they began to worry about their own fates.
“This Chen Ping is too powerful. Will we suffer the same fate?”
One of the Third Hall’s subordinates whispered, his voice full of fear.
“Yes, if we had known, we would not have followed the Third Hall Master. Now we cannot even leave.”
Another subordinate agreed.
The battle continued. Chen Ping’s attacks grew fiercer.
He suddenly accelerated and charged in front of the Third Hall Master. He raised the intent sword high in his hand, then slashed down fiercely.
A massive sword shadow flew out from the intent sword, carrying a momentum that could destroy heaven and earth as it cleaved towards the Third Hall Master.
The Third Hall Master was startled. He hurriedly retreated while quickly forming seals with his hands. A protective shield appeared in front of him.
However, Chen Ping’s sword was too powerful. The sword shadow collided with the shield, producing a huge bang. The shield shattered instantly, and the sword shadow continued towards the Third Hall Master.
The Third Hall Master could not dodge in time. The sword shadow grazed his shoulder. A deep wound appeared on his shoulder, and blood gushed out. The Third Hall Master cried out in pain, his body swaying.
“Hmph, nothing special.”
Chen Ping sneered. He gave the Third Hall Master no chance to catch his breath. His figure flashed, and he appeared behind the Third Hall Master again. The intent sword in his hand thrust towards the Third Hall Master’s back.
The Third Hall Master sensed the danger behind him. He lunged forward hastily, dodging the thrust.
Yet Chen Ping’s sword intent clung to him like maggots on rotting bones.
Chen Ping twisted his wrist, and the intent sword swept out horizontally, aiming at the Third Hall Master’s legs.
The Third Hall Master kicked his legs and leaped upwards, avoiding the sweep.
But Chen Ping’s sword intent left a shallow wound on his calf.
“Damn it!”
The Third Hall Master roared in fury. He knew he could not remain so passive.
He took a deep breath, and his spiritual energy surged wildly within him. A faint golden light appeared around his body.
“Chen Ping, do not think you can defeat me!”
The Third Hall Master shouted loudly. He charged towards Chen Ping. His fist glowed with golden light, carrying immense power as it smashed towards Chen Ping.
