Chapter 108: Birth Of A Peerless Brave Man
Outside Qingzhou Ancient City.
Ye Ping was enlightened.
The countless confusions in his mind were all cleared at this moment.
He had only been cultivating for three months, and logically speaking, it should not be that impressive.
However, Ye Ping felt that he had made a mistake.
It might seem as if he had only cultivated for three months and was mediocre.
But in reality?
The person who taught him the Sword Dao was a Sword Immortal and learning under him for three days would produce better effects than what others could achieve in three years.
Besides, he had been practicing for three months!
He had always felt that he couldn’t make the cut because of the issue about aptitude.
The problem was that he might think that he had low aptitude, but aptitude really didn’t matter that much.
‘No, aptitude isn’t important. What’s truly important is my Dao Heart in immortal cultivation.’
‘Am I considered powerful?’
‘That’s obviously relative and varies from person to person.’
‘I’m nothing compared to Eldest Senior Brother because he is a supreme Sword Immortal.’
‘But what about when compared to ordinary people?’
He was very strong and ferocious, just as Chen Yuan said.
Ye Ping felt especially so when he thought about the fact that Su Changyu told him to run as soon as he encountered danger in the city.
In the beginning, Ye Ping also had doubts as he wondered, ‘How can a peerless Sword Immortal say that?’
However, due to the urgent situation then, Ye Ping didn’t think much of it. However, he had now come to a realization.
‘Eldest Senior Brother is testing me.’
At this moment, Ye Ping completely understood.
He thought that Su Changyu instructed him to run away because he wanted to see his reaction.
He wanted to see if Ye Ping would really run when he encountered danger.
Thinking of this, Ye Ping could not help but break out in cold sweat.
If he hadn’t been quick-witted enough, he might have really returned to the Qingyun Dao Sect.
If he had done that, Su Changyu would probably be disappointed in him.
“Very well, I understand.”
At this moment, Ye Ping spoke and his aura also changed abruptly.
All his previous confusion and puzzlement were cleared and he was now determined.
His gaze was full of determination too.
“Congratulations on gaining enlightenment, Exalted Immortal, may I leave now?”
Seeing that Ye Ping seemed to have understood, Chen Yuan couldn’t help but congratulate him and then ask for permission to leave.
“Not yet, come with me to the Qingzhou Ancient City.”
Ye Ping shook his head. Although Chen Yuan had helped him, he was not entirely trusting of his words. Besides, he would be going back to face the Fiendcelestial Cult members now and thought that Chen Yuan would at least be of some help.
“Go with you? Exalted Immortal, I really can’t go, if they find out that I’m with you, they’d probably resent me.”
Chen Yuan panicked. ‘He wants to take me along too? I don’t want to.’
In case he was caught by other disciples of the Fiendcelestial Cult, he would be in deep trouble. They were completely inhumane, and to them, there was no such thing as a fellow member. Once they caught him, they would use him for the refinement of heretical objects. When that happened, he would wish he was better off dead.
“You have to go even if you don’t want to. If it’s proven that you didn’t lie to me, I will give you some merit when I subdue the demons and let you atone for your mistakes, but if I find out that you’ve lied to me, I won’t let you have a good time even before my death. I’ll take it that you deserve it. Cut the crap and go.”
Ye Ping did not waste his breath any longer. He had already wasted eight to ten hours out there and had no idea what happened in the ancient city.
‘If Senior Brother gets the wrong idea and thinks that I’ve fled out of fear because I haven’t appeared in a long time, wouldn’t that be a huge loss?’
Hence, Ye Ping immediately turned his power of merit into a rope and wrapped it around Chen Yuan before scurrying towards the Qingzhou Ancient City.
“Exalted Immortal, I really can’t go, please, please let me off.”
“Exalted Immortal, can I treat you to tea some other time? I promise the tea will be new.”
“Exalted Immortal...”
Chen Yuan’s sobbing and pleading gradually vanished in the mountains.
At this moment, the entire ancient city of Qingzhou turned into a hell on earth as there were killings and bloodshed everywhere.
The Five-Grudge Ancient Poison was called a killing machine by many as it would amplify the hatred and resentment in one’s heart, and turn it into murderous intent.
That was the terrifying thing about the Five-Grudge Ancient Poison.
Many Fiendcelestial Cult disciples were also carrying out a huge massacre. Previously, they had come over to assassinate geniuses, but now that they had barged into the ancient city, they were in a passive state and could only kill anyone they saw to make sure they didn’t miss their target.
At the venue of the Sword Dao Meet, Sikong Jiantian’s face was extremely sullen. He had thought about it thoroughly but he never expected that the Fiendcelestial Cult would give the Five-Grudge Ancient Poison emerald gourd to Wei Lin.
It was a treasure that was extremely precious. It would release a large amount of Five-Grudge Ancient Poison and create a prison backdrop. He was extremely passive now and needed a large amount of time to break it because he was now restricted.
However, the longer the delay, the more deaths there would be. Besides, the Five Grudge emerald gourd was also constantly absorbing the power of resentment. At this rate, it was likely that he might not be able to suppress Wei Lin and might even let him run away.
“If I had known, I shouldn’t have been so reckless.”
“Oh dear, those guys from the Heavenly Supervisory have something to do now.”
Sikong Jiantian was under tremendous pressure.
At this moment, Wei Lin was overjoyed as he really didn’t expect to complete the mission and even exceeded his quota by mistake. As soon as the Five-Grudge Ancient Poison was released, the entire Qingzhou Ancient City would turn into a ghost town.
Although Wei Lin knew that Sikong Jiantian was developing an antidote for it, the gourd was continuously absorbing the resentment of beings, and thus he could use that treasure to escape Qingzhou Ancient City.
Not only did he complete his mission, but he also escaped. By then, it would be time for him to climb to the top.
At the thought of this, Wei Lin could not help but sneer.
“Sikong Jiantian, do not struggle, the matter has already been set in stone. If I were you, I’d stop immediately and give myself a way out. Otherwise, after I finish absorbing the power of resentment of the beings here, you’ll have to die too.”
Wei Lin’s tone was extremely arrogant.
“Hmph!”
Sikong Jiantian humphed coldly. He didn’t answer, but he knew that what Wei Lin said was not entirely wrong.
However, he had no other option now. If he really fled, Qingzhou Ancient City would turn into a ghost town, and he couldn’t afford to bear that responsibility at all. Hence, he had no choice but to persist on.
At this moment... Outside Qingzhou Ancient City, a figure slowly appeared outside the southern city gate.
Ye Ping furrowed his brows.
The entire ancient city had been engulfed by the Five-Grudge Ancient Poison and the people inside were likely to be in danger.
“Exalted Immortal, hurry up and run, don’t go in. The Five-Grudge Ancient Poison has already changed and it is much scarier than before. If you go in, you’ll be in great danger.”
Outside the city gate, Chen Yuan really couldn’t voice his sorrow. He truly regretted saying so much nonsense and landing himself and others into trouble.
However, Ye Ping, who was outside the city, ignored Chen Yuan. Instead, he strode towards the ancient city.
At this moment, his eyes were full of determination, and after pondering about it on the way, he was even more certain that Chen Yuan was right.
It was indeed the test that his eldest Senior Brother had given him.
It was the test of a peerless Sword Immortal.
Hence, he couldn’t be a coward anymore.
“Eldest Senior Brother, don’t worry, I won’t let you down.”
In the next moment, Ye Ping drew out his Green Moon Dharmic Sword and his gaze became even more determined at this moment. His aura soared too.
Whoosh!
In an instant, Ye Ping crossed the city gate and entered the Qingzhou Ancient City.
“Exalted Immortal, hurry up and shroud yourself in the power of merit so that the Five-Grudge Ancient Poison can’t hurt you.”
“You can also save these poisoned cultivators with the Golden Light of Expiation. Each one you save will bring you merit.”
Seeing that Ye Ping was fearless, Chen Yuan had no choice but to teach Ye Ping to hurry up and use the power of merit lest he courted death.
“Excellent!”
Without any nonsense, Ye Ping released the power of merit in his body and turned it into a faint golden light that engulfed his body
Indeed, after he was wrapped in the power of merit, the Five-Grudge Ancient Poison avoided him.
‘Good, taking Chen Yuan along was a wise choice.’
Ye Ping was pleased.
Just as he stepped into the ancient city, more than ten black figures suddenly appeared, each holding a machete and staring at Ye Ping sinisterly.
They charged towards Ye Ping without hesitation.
Boom!
However, at this moment, Ye Ping also did not delay and even his gaze didn’t change much.
He raised his sword and cast the Four Thunder sword momentum while the sword energy filled the air. Before the group of people could react, they turned into ashes on the spot.
In the next moment, Ye Ping raised his right hand and cast the Golden Light of Expiation. Before they could speak, it turned into more than ten portions of power of merit that surged into Ye Ping’s body.
“So ferocious!”
Chen Yuan was astonished. Although he had experienced it once, he was still incredibly shocked when he saw it again.
Whoosh!
Soon, dozens of figures appeared. However, they were not from the Fiendcelestial Cult but ordinary cultivators who were poisoned. Their eyes were bloodshot but they did not fear death.
Ye Ping did not strike at the ordinary cultivators with his sword and instead cast the Golden Light of Expiation.
In an instant, their eyes became clear, and the Five-Grudge Ancient Poison was dispelled from their bodies.
“Don’t stay, leave quickly.”
After saying that, Ye Ping continued to walk towards the city.
Inside the ancient city, there were killings everywhere, and Fiendcelestial Cult disciples could be found in every corner.
Many people were being chased and killed by the Fiendcelestial Cult which caused them great misery.
On one street, hundreds of cultivators got into a formation to defend against the Fiendcelestial Cult devotees.
Most of them were female cultivators, each with a look of hopelessness because their elder who had set up the formation had died tragically at the hands of the Fiendcelestial Cult.
The formation was about to be dysfunctional too and they reckoned that they would be dying soon.
“Hurry up and break the formation, when the time comes, all the men will be killed and the women will have their cultivation levels stripped away.”
“Tsk, all of them are so beautiful. Brothers, we’re lucky.”
“Hahahahaha, usually you guys ignore us and give us the cold shoulder. We’ll leave you begging for more after this.”
The hundreds of Fiendcelestial Cult disciples were surrounding them, each revealing their desires in their eyes.
The hundreds of cultivators trapped there were all terrified and uneasy.
Some even wanted to commit suicide but never had the courage to do so.
However, at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared.
“Lord, someone is coming.”
“Great, there’s another one who wants to be a hero and save the damsel in distress?”
“Kill him.”
The Fiendcelestial Cult members instantly spotted the figure and were not surprised at all. Instead, their eyes were full of disdain.
However, the besieged crowd was all astonished.
“It’s Ye Ping! Look guys, it’s Ye Ping!”
“It’s really Ye Ping. Is Senior Brother Ye Ping here to save us?”
“Senior Brother Ye Ping, we’re here.”
“Senior Brother Ye Ping, don’t come over, there’s a cultivator who is in the Perfected Foundation Establishment realm. Hurry up and run away.”
Among the besieged crowd, some were exhilarated while some were extremely worried and told Ye Ping not to come over.
However, at this moment...
Not far away, Ye Ping gazed at the hundreds of men in black before launching a strike of his sword.
Boom!
The thunderous sword energy surged and drowned the entire street like a large river.
The hundreds of Fiendcelestial Cult disciples were killed by Ye Ping.
It was simple and direct.
Afterwards, under a beam of golden light, the disciples of the Fiendcelestial Cult who had just turned into resentful spirits instantly turned into power of merit that entered Ye Ping’s body.
There was silence!
Complete silence!
The street, which was originally full of chaotic ruckuses and noise, became extremely silent.
It was so quiet.
“Hurry up and flee, leave the rest to me.”
At the next moment, Ye Ping spoke with an indifferent voice.
His voice was extremely calm too.
Coupled with his stunning good looks, he took them by storm.
