Outside Qingzhou Ancient City.

Ye Ping was extremely fast as he shuttled through the mountains.

However, behind him, hundreds of black figures were chasing after him on their flying swords.

At this moment, Ye Ping’s mood was extremely complicated.

‘Had I known earlier, I would have learned the Sword Kinesis Flight technique well before going down the mountain. Great, now I have to run on foot even though I can clearly go faster.’

How could he stand that?

‘Also Brothers, you have been chasing me for six hours.’

‘The sky is almost dark, why are you still chasing me?’

‘Aren’t you tired at all?’

Ye Ping really wanted to cry because he had never encountered such a miserable thing in this life.

“Ye Ping, stop running, we’re not trying to harm you but to give you some luck.”

At this moment, a voice told Ye Ping to stop running. After all, they couldn’t stand it any longer too. They had been chasing him on their flying swords for more than six hours while Ye Ping was running on foot. Yet, they still couldn’t catch up.

They were filled with curiosity about what kind of freak Ye Ping was and how he could run so quickly. ‘Can’t he give us a chance?’

“I don’t want luck. How about this? As long as you guys stop chasing me, I’ll send each of you a huge fortune after a hundred years.”

Ye Ping ran through the mountains and answered loudly.

However, Ye Ping’s words made the Fiendcelestial Cult followers feel a toothache.

“Fellow Daoist Ye Ping, how about we each compromise? We’ll stop chasing you and you stop running. Shall we sit down and have some tea?”

“No problem, but I’m in a hurry, how about next time? If you also have urgent matters to handle, you should get going too. Ignore me. I’ll treat you to tea next time, alright?”

“Fellow Daoist Ye, what’s the point? We really admire you.”

“Gentlemen, I am grateful for your admiration, but there won’t be happiness if it’s forced.”

“Fellow Daoist Ye, that might be true but it’s still better than nothing.”

Ye Ping was speechless.

In the mountains, he was truly at a loss for words.

‘These bastards are probably determined to kill me.’

‘I can’t help it. Since I can’t defeat them, I can only run away.’

‘So what if I can defeat them?’

He reckoned that once there was a chain battle, he wouldn’t be able to leave at all.

‘I have to think of a solution.’

‘I have to think of a way.’

Ye Ping pondered over it continuously.

However, after a long time, he burst into tears. He had no idea why but ever since he joined the Qingyun Dao Sect, he felt that he had become duller.

He couldn’t think of a solution even after a long time of brainstorming.

That made him feel even worse.

He reckoned that his IQ must have been lowered!

At this moment, Ye Ping was a bit miserable and furious.

‘Is there anything worse than this in this world?’

While Ye Ping was infuriated…

He suddenly stopped in his tracks.

He was not giving up on survival, but he encountered something even worse than the situation he was in now.

There was a huge gully in front of him that was at least 500 meters wide, below which there was an abyss.

In other words, there was no way for him to escape.

At this moment, Ye Ping barfed.

Indeed, when one was in a miserable state, things would only get worse and miracles were rare.

‘It’s over, it’s over, it’s over!’

Ye Ping panicked.

At this moment, the Fiendcelestial Cult followers behind him appeared.

Meanwhile, a pair of eyes was locked onto Ye Ping.

Those gazes were filled with joy, anger, relief, cruelty, and insidiousness.

They had been chasing for more than six hours, but the more they chased, the angrier they became. Now that they had finally stopped Ye Ping, they were definitely pleased and relieved.

“Run! Keep running! Why did you stop?”

“Damn it, don’t you like to run? Keep running, why don’t you run?”

“I don’t want the credit anymore, but I want to kill him myself.”

“I’ll gouge his eyes out, I’m so furious.”

“I want to hit his bones.”

“Aren’t you quite good at running? Why did you stop running?”

The voices sounded, and the followers of Fiendcelestial Cult were not only extremely scheming, but they were also brutal and inhumane.

That was also the reason why the Fiendcelestial Cult became the public enemy. After all, although some demonic cults had done bad things too, it was all for the struggle of benefits. However, the Fiendcelestial Cult was no longer just a demonic cult but a heretic that even the demonic cults detested.

At this moment, Ye Ping turned around.

He took a deep breath and looked at the crowd, forcing himself to put on an awkward smile.

“Everyone, I actually think that there might be some misunderstanding between us.”

Ye Ping tried to get them to sit down for a good talk.

“Misunderstanding? Don’t worry, we’ll know if there’s any misunderstanding later.”

“If you kneel down and beg for forgiveness from me now, I can make you suffer less pain later.”

“Tsk tsk, what a pity. Your good looks have gone to waste.”

Everyone laughed with contemptuous gazes.

After chasing for so long, there must be some anger within them.

‘Great, you’re not going to run anymore, huh?’

“Everyone, are you really not going to give me a way out?”

On the edge of the cliff, Ye Ping stopped smiling and asked with a solemn expression.

“Hah!”

However, that was all they said.

Seeing this scene, Ye Ping couldn’t help but recall Su Changyu’s instructions.

“If you can’t fight, run!”

“If you can’t run, then fight!”

Since they were now forced into a desperate situation, they decided to go all out and try to make some gains without incurring any losses.

Thinking of this, Ye Ping drew his sword immediately without spouting any nonsense.

As soon as they saw Ye Ping drawing his sword, everyone burst into laughter.

“Seriously? You still have the guts to draw your sword? Are you crazy?”

“There can’t really be someone who thinks there are miracles in this world, right?”

“Hahahaha, you actually dare to draw your sword? A mere Qi Refinement cultivator like you has the guts to draw a sword?”

“I admire your courage, but unfortunately, miracles don’t happen in this world.”

They laughed with derision in their eyes.

While they mocked, Ye Ping remained still.

He was not sure whether he could break through the siege or not, but he was now sure that would die if he didn’t draw the sword. And if he did, he might have a chance of survival.

Thinking of this, Ye Ping did not delay any further and went all out!

The ten Immortal Apertures were opened and the Endless Sword Diagram began running while the Four Thunder sword momentum and Heavenly River sword momentum fused together perfectly!

Before he even thrust his sword, a powerful sword momentum had already surged out.

In that instant, their laughter ceased…

?????

‘Isn’t he only at the first level of the Qi Refinement realm? How did he condense the sword momentum?’

‘What’s going on?’

‘Can a big shout come out and explain?’

The Fiendcelestial Cult followers were dumbfounded all at once.

At this moment, someone spoke up.

“Everyone, don’t panic, he’s just at the first level of the Qi Refinement realm. Even if he is very talented in the Sword Dao, the sword momentum he releases won’t be too strong without the support of Dharmic powers…”

However, before he finished, Ye Ping had already attacked.

Boom!

Terrifying thunderbolts emanated from the flying sword.

The bolts of thunder seemed to be flooding the place like a river while the white lightning gave out power that made their scalps turn numb.

There was silence.

Absolute silence!

The Fiendcelestial Cult followers froze right on the spot.

They didn’t know what to say anymore.

At the same time, there was no time for them to react at all because when the Four Thunder sword momentum surged over, they all died.

They were heretic cultivators who used the blood of resentment and the essence soul of others to cultivate. They were definitely afraid of things that would strengthen oneself.

For instance, Ye Ping’s Four Thunder sword momentum was a destructive disaster to them.

Hence, no one could survive it.

The Fiendcelestial Cult followers were bewildered before they died.

‘Brother, since you’re so powerful, why did you run?’

‘Are you fishing?’

At this moment, something that made Ye Ping even more appalled soon happened.
