Chapter 303: Kun

Lu Ping didn’t say a word and summoned his Golden Scale Sword immediately. The Golden Scale Sword traveled along with six hundred sword lights, merging together and slashing down. Without holding back one bit, Lu Ping used his full strength right away.

The monster Enlightened Master grew serious for a moment, before returning to normal, and laughing, "Trying to be the hero and save the beauty? You’re good, but not good enough to save her from my hands!"

The monster cultivator took out a gourd, sending out a wave of blue water towards the incoming Golden Scale Sword.

Instead of cutting right through the wave, the Golden Scale Sword followed it like a fish, trying to move past the wave and towards the monster cultivator.

However, as soon as the sword entered the water, Lu Ping felt a force spreading across it from all sides, interfering with his divine revelation connection.

As a result, the sword missed, moving as if it was drunk. The monster cultivator laughed, "Your sword skills are impressive, I’ll give you that. But what can you do? This Extreme Blue Magnetic Water that I found in the dark depths of the East Ocean is the best counter to weapons like yours!"

Lu Ping coldly snorted. The peculiar water only slightly affected him; his opponent clearly underestimated him. Lu Ping sent a massive wave of divine revelation into his sword, regaining full control of it.

The monster cultivator smiled, "What a massive divine revelation, it seems you’ve practiced some kind of secret technique. Hmmm, perhaps, you’re also an alchemist like my beauty over here? Or are you a formation master? Whatever you are, my divine revelation is no weaker than yours!"

Chu Ting summoned her high-grade cauldron on top of her as protection, while casting the bright yellow spirit fire against the monster cultivator. At the same time, she activated a pouch, releasing wind that enhanced the flame

A muffled roar could be heard inside it, sending a gale that immediately suppressed Chu Ting’s bright yellow flame, and even blew it back towards her.

Fortunately, Chu Ting’s fire control skills were excellent, and the monster cultivator was not using his full strength, so she was able to regain control of the flames before they could burn her.

The monster cultivator wore a fearful expression, and said, "Phew, that was close! I went a little too far and almost hurt my dear beauty!"

Whilst Chu Ting’s expression was calm, seemingly unaffected by the monster cultivator’s words, she was actually furious in her heart.

Lu Ping and Chu Ting both were alchemists, making their divine revelations far above their peers. However, this monster cultivator’s divine revelation and cultivation base were extraordinary; he was stronger than Chu Ting, and on par with Lu Ping.

Although the monster cultivator still appeared relaxed, Lu Ping could tell from his eyes that he had gotten serious. The monster cultivator said, "A highly exceptional water-element cultivator, so you’re not an alchemist then. If we were in the same cultivation layer, I naturally wouldn’t be your opponent, but right now that’s not the case, is it?"

Between the two of them, the monster cultivator was more focused on Lu Ping as he saw him as a greater threat, as Chu Ting only played a supporting role in the battle. This caused Chu Ting to look at Lu Ping in surprise.

Whilst she naturally knew that Lu Ping was an alchemist, with skills likely better than her, she had failed to notice before this fight that he was actually a water-element alchemist. On top of that, he had also broken through to the Core Forging Realm and even reached the peak of the First Layer so quickly!

Before today, she had never admired anyone in her generation, and only acknowledged Lu Ping as an equal. But now, she couldn’t help but hold a feeling of admiration for him, especially after realizing how much effort and hard work he had to put in to become a Master Alchemist with a water-element cultivation.

As the battle continued, the monster cultivator used his gourd to cast out a peculiar water, peculiar wind, and peculiar fire. This caused Lu Ping to look at the gourd covetously, desiring to have it for himself!

While the monster cultivator was distracted by the Water Spectral Sword, Lu Ping quickly seized the opportunity and took out a golden mirror, shooting out a golden light into the gourd. The gourd suddenly stopped for a split second, before returning to normal.

Chu Ting took out a small black shard and crushed it into dust, sending the dust out her bright yellow fire. Immediately, the bright yellow fire rekindled its dwindling flame, pushing back the monster cultivator’s red fire.

The monster cultivator looked at the golden mirror, before shaking the gourd in his hand, injecting more true energy to enhance the red fire to fight back.

Lu Ping cast the [Thousand Stacks of Snow Sword Art] with the Golden Scale Sword; 648 spiritual sword lights and 648 sword lights distributed themselves evenly, forming three sword waves that pounced on the monster cultivator like water.

The monster cultivator became somber. He pointed his finger causing the Extreme Blue Magnetic Water to surge towards the sword waves. But this time, the sword waves merged into three Sword Jiaos that swiftly evaded the peculiar water, lunging towards the monster cultivator.

The monster cultivator remained calm, waving the fan in his hand, blowing one Sword Jiao into pieces. He then shook the gourd again, getting rid of another Sword Jiao. Finally, he released his aegis energy, smiling mockingly at the third Sword Jiao that reached him.

The monster cultivator wasn’t afraid at all because he had cultivated his aegis energy into a mini divine ability!

The Sword Jiao pounced at his aegis energy and was instantly crushed, as the monster cultivator wore a sarcastic smile. However, Lu Ping smiled back, and pointed his finger at his opponent.

Qiang—

It was the [True Origin One Essence Sword Art]!

The monster cultivator was still in shock when he reflexively summoned a golden halberd and slashed horizontally behind him.

Dang—

The Water Spectral Sword was knocked away, while Lu Ping let out a muffled groan. The golden halberd had apparently damaged the flying sword and was clearly the monster cultivators’ nascent weapon.

The golden halberd shone like a miniature sun in the monster cultivator’s hand, its luminance distorting the air and spiritual energy around him.

The Golden Scale Sword followed up with a few attacks, but the golden halberd parried them all and knocked the flying sword away. Then, the halberd chased after the flying sword in an attempt to destroy it.

Just as the halberd was going to strike the Golden Scale Sword, Lu Ping suddenly smiled, and the Golden Scale Sword agilely evaded the halberd. The monster cultivator sensed that something was wrong and looked up, but it was too late, Landslide was already in front of his face.

The monster cultivator’s expression changed drastically. However, he still didn’t show a single trace of fear, only displaying anger. Suddenly, the monster cultivator turned into a colossal fish that Lu Ping had never seen before, swinging his giant tail upwards, colliding with Landslide.

Bang—

The impact and sound from the collision stirred up high waves in the surroundings. Landslide was knocked away, and Lu Ping’s divine revelation was hit heavily, even his Golden Core was shaken from the collision.

"A Kun!"

Chu Ting’s face finally changed, while Lu Ping shouted at her, "Run!"

Lu Ping turned into a stream of water and disappeared into the distance. After recovering from her shock, the bright yellow flame wrapped around Chu Ting, turning her into a yellow ray of light that caught up with Lu Ping in an instant!

A loud grunt came from the bottom of the sea, and a trace of blood appeared on the sea surface. A gruff voice from the bottom of the sea bellowed, "I am Kong Yuan, do you dare leave your names behind!?"

"Lu Jiu"

"Chu Ting"

"We will meet again soon. At that time, we will fight again!"

Kong Yuan’s voice could be heard from far away; Lu Ping and Chu Ting were already too far to give their replies.

….

Outside of Silver Sword Island, a yellow light ray from the sky, and a blue light ray from the sea converged together and stopped. Chu Ting’s face was pale-white, while Lu Ping coughed up blood several times.

"How are you?"

Chu Ting asked gratefully.

"I’m fine."

Lu Ping answered, while swallowing a Triple Turning Essence Pellet.

Chu Ting saw the Triple Turning Essence Pellet and was stunned. Lu Ping glanced at her and put away the jade bottle, acting as if he hadn’t noticed her reaction.

"Why were you there?"

This time, it was Lu Ping’s turn to ask. He was puzzled why Chu Ting would be separated from the rest of the Maiden Pavilion cultivators, even incurring the pursuit of a monster cultivator.

Chu Ting regained her composure, settled down, and explained the ambush on the human cultivators by the monster cultivators. She obviously didn’t mention anything about the Maiden Pavilion’s mission in the dojo, and Lu Ping also wouldn’t pry into their affairs, so he just kept quiet and just listened.

"What… Junior Martial Uncle Liang Xuan-Feng is seriously injured?"

Lu Ping’s expression changed as he asked in a gruff voice.
