“With just this bit of skill, you still want to fight me!” The great elder said disdainfully.
While the great elder was fully dealing with Chen Ping’s attacks, Ling Xi took the opportunity to quietly circle around to the back of the circle.
She carefully observed the situation around the circle and discovered that the circle’s energy supply came from a huge spiritual crystal underground.
Ling Xi was delighted in her heart. She quickly formed seals with her hands. Streams of spiritual power shot towards the spiritual crystal.
However, just as her spiritual power was about to hit the spiritual crystal, a demonic cultivator suddenly noticed her actions and shouted loudly, “Someone is trying to destroy the teleportation array!”
The great elder heard the shout and was startled in his heart. He quickly diverted some attention towards the direction where Ling Xi was. When he saw Ling Xi trying to destroy the spiritual crystal, he became furious at once. “You are courting death!”
His figure flashed. He charged towards Ling Xi.
Seeing this, Chen Ping felt a bad premonition in his heart. He immediately increased the intensity of his attacks, trying to block the great elder.
But the great elder’s strength was too powerful. He easily shook off Chen Ping’s entanglement and continued charging towards Ling Xi.
Ling Xi watched the great elder rushing over and felt some panic in her heart, but she still gritted her teeth and continued her attack.
Just as the great elder was about to reach her, Chen Ping suddenly burst out from the side. The Dragon Slaying Sword in his hand carried an unstoppable momentum as it slashed towards the great elder.
The great elder had to stop again and deal with Chen Ping’s attack.
Ling Xi took the chance to launch another attack. This time, her spiritual power finally struck the spiritual crystal.
The spiritual crystal emitted a huge bang and began to tremble violently.
“Oh no, the teleportation array is going to be destroyed!” A demonic cultivator shouted in fear.
Seeing this, the great elder became extremely anxious in his heart. He launched attacks with all his might, trying to quickly deal with Chen Ping and Ling Xi.
But Chen Ping and Ling Xi cooperated with each other and resisted stubbornly.
At the critical moment when the spiritual crystal was about to shatter, a mysterious force suddenly came from the distance and stabilized the spiritual crystal’s energy.
Chen Ping and Ling Xi’s hearts sank. They knew that the situation in this battle was still very unfavourable to them.
At this time, the third hall master could not wait any longer to launch the final attack. He ordered loudly, “Break through the God King Palace for me. Kill everyone inside!”
Just as everyone was about to launch the final attack on Chen Ping and the others, the great elder waved his hand and said, “Hold on…”
The third hall master was stunned. He looked at the great elder and said, “Great elder, this is the best time to take down the God King Palace. We cannot hesitate, right?”
“What? Are you teaching me how to do things?”
The great elder gave the third hall master a cold glance.
The third hall master immediately cowered. He hurriedly shook his head. “How would I dare to teach the great elder how to do things? Great elder, please do as you wish.”
The third hall master knew that everyone here had been summoned by the Evil Path Hall. With his meagre forces, if he really clashed with the great elder, he would be wiped out in minutes.
The great elder looked at Chen Ping. Then, his eyes filled with greed as he said, “Boy, the sword in your hand is not bad. It should be a good item. Give me the sword, and I can spare your life. I will let you leave directly.”
Hearing this, a barely noticeable cold glint flashed in Chen Ping’s eyes. He pretended to hesitate as he gripped the Dragon Slaying Sword tightly. His knuckles turned white from the force.
“Does the great elder keep his word?” Chen Ping’s voice carried a deliberate tremble.
“Hmph, I am a man of my word.” The great elder stood with his hands behind his back, his tone arrogant.
Seeing this, Ling Xi said anxiously, “Chen Ping! How can you submit? The Evil Path Hall definitely will not keep their word!”
Yun Xiu also hurriedly said, “Young Master Chen, you cannot believe the words of the Evil Path Hall!”
But Chen Ping seemed not to hear the crowd’s rebukes. He slowly raised the Dragon Slaying Sword horizontally, as if about to hand it over.
Seeing this, the great elder’s greed intensified. He could not help but take a step forward.
In this split second,
“Here you go!”
Chen Ping roared. The Dragon Slaying Sword suddenly erupted with blinding golden light. The dragon patterns on the sword blade seemed to come alive, emitting bursts of dragon roars.
