He stood tall and straight, with sharp eyes, exuding an aura of inviolable majesty.
This person was naturally Xu Ping in disguise.
Zhang Qingfeng and the others, upon seeing this scene, imdiately showed expressions of surprise and joy, their eyes filled with relief at having survived a calamity.
In their eyes, this was undoubtedly an encounter with a master from the Yue Country.
As long as this master was present, their lives would be secured.
After all, even a Demon Cultivator within the Golden Core realm would definitely not dare to battle here for long when facing an unknown Golden Core Cultivator.
"Hmph!"
The Golden Core Demon Cultivator snorted coldly, a mocking sneer appearing at the corners of his mouth, his eyes full of disdain for Xu Ping,
"You’re just an Early-Stage Golden Core Cultivator, and yet you speak with such arrogance, simply courting death!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly ford seals with his hands, chanting incantations, and summoned a powerful magical treasure.
The treasure resembled a black mountain, exuding an oppressive aura, hurling towards Xu Ping with intense force.
Evidently, during his earlier battle with Zhang Qingfeng and the others, he had indeed held back.
"Be careful, Elder!"
Upon seeing this, Zhang Qingfeng and the others’ expressions changed, unable to help but offer a warning.
In their view, the power of this magical treasure was formidable, and it could easily gravely injure a typical Early-Stage Golden Core Cultivator if not careful.
However, to Xu Ping, none of this mattered.
rely an Early-Stage Golden Core, even without revealing other thods, was sothing he could cut down with a single strike!
Xu Ping’s figure flickered instantaneously, moving like a phantom through the intangible, vanishing from his original spot in an instant.
People could only feel a blur before their eyes, and before they could react, they lost all trace of him.
Imdiately following that, several brilliant, sky-piercing sword lights erged from the void without warning.
The sword lights, like flood dragons erging from the sea, magnificent and carrying a force of overwhelming power, slashed fiercely towards the Golden Core Demon Cultivator.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Amid the deafening roars, the magical treasure the Golden Core Demon Cultivator prided himself on and boasted as imnsely powerful was as fragile as child’s play under Xu Ping’s unstoppable sword lights, shattering easily.
After only a few strikes, the treasure dimd.
Next, in the eyes of the terrified Golden Core Demon Cultivator, a flash of cyan light appeared.
He didn’t even have ti to utter a scream before his head soared high, ultimately crashing to the ground, blood gushing like a fountain, instantly staining a large area of land red.
"What!"
Zhang Qingfeng and the others, witnessing this, were dumbfounded, their faces displaying utter disbelief.
They could not, in any way, imagine that this senior master who suddenly appeared possessed such extraordinary divine techniques, effortlessly slaying a Golden Core Demon Cultivator of the sa level.
This exceptional strength completely exceeded their previous understanding, filling their hearts with deep reverence for Xu Ping.
After nonchalantly handling the Demon Cultivator’s corpse, Xu Ping approached these few individuals.
His expression was as calm as water, as if what he had just done was rely an ordinary matter.
"Thank you, Elder, for saving our lives!"
Upon seeing this, the group respectfully bowed to Xu Ping in gratitude, their voices filled with thankfulness.
"There’s no need for formalities, friends; everyone must eradicate Demonic Cultivators."
Xu Ping gestured with a wave of his hand, indicating that there was no need for further ceremony.
Then, his gaze fell on Zhang Qingfeng, and he inquired, "Is it the case that the Demon Cultivators have started a large-scale invasion again?"
"Yes!"
Confronted with this Golden Core master’s inquiry, Zhang Qingfeng naturally did not dare to slack off, promptly answering with respect.
The rest stood obediently in place, not daring to breathe heavily, let alone make any unnecessary movents or utterances.
Next, a look of concern appeared on Zhang Qingfeng’s face as he added, "This ti, the scale of the invasion is far greater than before, and they are mobilizing forces as if they intend to start a national war!"
"A national war?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Ping’s heart sank to the bottom.
The large-scale invasion of the Demonic Cultivators was already an extrely dangerous situation, and he had offended a Mid-Stage Nascent Soul Demonic Cultivator. Under these circumstances, it was truly a grim outlook.
After a mont of silence, Xu Ping asked again, "Apart from the large-scale invasion, have the Demon Cultivators shown any other unusual activities?"
"Other unusual activities?"
Zhang Qingfeng furrowed his brow, lowered his head in thought for a mont, and seed to rember sothing. He hurriedly retrieved a jade slip from his Storage Ring, using mana to send it to Xu Ping.
"If one were to say there were any strange activities by the Demon Cultivators, it would be the bounty order for Elder Xu!"
"Elder Xu?"
Holding the jade slip, Xu Ping already had so guesses in his mind.
He probed the jade slip with his Divine Sense, confirming his suspicions.
The bounty was indeed on him!
And the bounty treasures were so plentiful that even a Golden Core Perfection Cultivator would be tempted.
No doubt about it, it was surely orchestrated by that Mid-Stage Nascent Soul Cultivator!
"What a lavish gesture!" Xu Ping couldn’t help but sneer inwardly.
To deal with a re Early-Stage Golden Core Cultivator like him, this Mid-Stage Nascent Soul Cultivator was indeed willing to spend generously.
Then he further inquired Zhang Qingfeng about details regarding the Demon Cultivator invasion and the bounty order.
Zhang Qingfeng spoke without holding back, answering each question in detail.
"Not bad!"
Xu Ping nodded in acknowledgnt, seemingly quite satisfied with Zhang Qingfeng’s responses.
