Four Half-Saint arrived from the opposite side, three of whom were Greater Golden Core who had taken their First Step and whose lifespans were nearing their end.
They were resolute, determined to die, and willing to exchange their lives for theirs.
Of course, the main force behind this was the Zheng, Su, and Shang families. Three of them must have made deals with these three Glorious Family to secure a better future or certain benefits for their Lineage before the deadline.
"If Xie Wuji and Jiang Ping die, I will shatter my own skull," said a Half-Saint with gleaming hair.
"There's nothing more to say, just take action. Delay will only lead to complications!"
A voice came, Headmaster Qin felt a heaviness in his heart. He looked at the horizon and saw another enormous figure standing there.
It wasn't Four Saints, but five Half-Saint.
"Jiang Ping, I'll ask you one last time: if you agree, you might still have a chance to live!"
The Su Family's Half-Saint spoke.
Behind these three families are four martial saints, who can completely protect Jiang Ping and are not afraid of Jiang Saint at all.
"Are you alright?" Xie Wuji looked at Jiang Ping, who nodded.
"I think it's acceptable."
"Very well, today we, the old against the old, the young against the young, will fight to the very end!" Xie Wuji laughed loudly.
Immediately, his hunched body straightened, and a shower of light erupted from his body. He went far away, attacking the five Half-Saint, his body growing larger and larger.
Headmaster Qin looked at Jiang Ping, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes. He felt that Jiang Ping's cultivation time was short, and he was unlikely to be a match for Su Tongxuan and Shang Yi.
But the situation was dire. He couldn't protect the young people; he had to hold off the old guys. Otherwise, if the Half-Saint unleashed their killing intent, Jiang Ping would have no chance of survival.
Thump!
A finger, resembling a pillar supporting the sky, pressed down on Jiang Ping. A Half-Saint wanted to deal with this Martial Bone Talent first, but was stopped by Headmaster Qin, who was also a being of the same level and very powerful.
Boom!
The sky was incredibly magnificent, and a powerful surge of energy roared, shaking the heavens and the earth.
The seven Half-Saint, along with several Greater Golden Core cultivators who had taken their First Step, were already entangled in a fierce battle in the sky. Although terrifying fluctuations were emanating from them, they did not affect Jiang Ping and his group.
"It's troublesome."
Jiang Ping murmured, "The old guys are all gone. The opposing team's strength is still considerable. They have Shang Yi, who is at the Middle Golden Core, Su Tongxuan, Complete Saint Body, and another person at the Late Golden Core."
"I'll fight you." Chen Qingyan stood beside Jiang Ping, her body radiating a terrifying aura, with boundless Essence of All Things floating around her.
"That's really strong!"
Shang Yi felt something was amiss; this woman was truly dazzling, having actually reached the Golden Core realm.
"She's almost fully reached the Fourth Grade." He narrowed his eyes and whispered, "Perhaps, this is the kind of woman I want to marry."
Chen Qingyan's talent captivated Shang Yi, who wanted to become the one to continue the bloodline.
"Bring her here, but remember not to hurt her." Shang Yi's heart was burning with desire; he couldn't wait any longer and wanted to continue the Lineage bloodline.
Thump.
The Late Golden Core beside Shang Yi immediately stepped forward, intending to capture Chen Qingyan first.
The next second, this Late Golden Core cultivator exploded, turning into a cloud of blood mist.
It was Xie Wuji who intervened to relieve the pressure on Jiang Ping. After all, the young man's cultivation time was too short, and he was no match for the Late Golden Core cultivator.
However, Jiang Ping saw that the senior had suffered a severe back injury and was bleeding profusely.
Battles at the level of Half-Saint cannot be taken lightly, especially when it's one against many. He was distracted by Jiang Ping, which led to his own demise.
Jiang Ping felt heavy-hearted, but he couldn't offer any help.
Furthermore, he received the same treatment, with fingers that had nails larger than others pressing down on him.
Puff.
Jiang Ping felt as if his body was about to split open, and his throat tasted slightly sweet, simply from sensing the preceding Qi Mechanism.
Bang!
The finger was intercepted halfway, unleashing a dazzling shower of light.
Headmaster Qin was also paying attention to Jiang Ping. He was afraid that someone of such high standing would suddenly target Jiang Ping, because it would be a simple and straightforward matter.
"A swift and decisive victory!"
Jiang Ping stopped paying attention to the Half-Saint and focused on dealing with the enemy at hand.
That's all he could do.
Bang!
Jiang Ping shattered the Void and flew straight towards Shang Yi. Compared to Su Tongxuan, he wanted to kill this man even more.
"Your opponent is me!"
Su Tongxuan charged toward Jiang Ping, his eyes filled with horror. Seeing is believing; the other's talent was indeed exceptional, having already firmly established himself in the Golden Core realm.
It should be noted that even Xiao Yucheng didn't achieve this speed back then. It took him a little over a month to go from absorbing the Essence of All Things to establishing himself.
His elders were right; Jiang Ping's talent was definitely the Great Li.
Damn it!
Boom!
Su Tongxuan was intercepted halfway by Chen Qingyan.
She was no weakling either. The more Late Stage her Innate Sacred Body became, the faster she could cultivate. When she was in Dangerous Land, she had already condensed her Water Core. In a short period of time, she was almost completely established and already had the strength of Golden Core First Turn.
"You crippled body, do you think you can stop me?"
Shang Family coveted Chen Qingyan, but Su Tongxuan didn't care. He wielded his sword and unleashed a powerful aura, which contained the power of Golden Core cultivator. The energy surged and instantly shattered the Void.
This is a complete momentum; though not Mystic Skill, it is powerful enough.
Because he is still young, a few years younger than Jiang Ping.
Amidst the howling wind, Chen Qingyan's black hair billowed, her cheeks were fair and radiant, and her eyes were deep and unfathomable.
She held a silver knife in her hand, and with a sweeping motion, she cleaved with a powerful, desolate, and bewildered aura.
The struggle for power caused the clouds and mist to surge, and the power of the Golden Core cultivators exploded like an umbrella-shaped mushroom cloud, rising violently.
Then, the swords clashed, and the two Golden Core cultivators released their powerful energies, scattering a shower of light as their sword and saber techniques clashed fiercely.
This area was radiant with light, affecting the earth. Ancient trees were broken, and rampant spiritual energy swept across the land like a tidal wave.
Not long after.
The two clashed fiercely once again, each unleashing their strongest attack.
Boom!
A mushroom cloud suddenly appeared, shooting straight into the sky.
The wind howled, the dust settled, Su Tongxuan stood motionless, while Chen Qingyan retreated until she stopped more than ten meters away.
Su Tongxuan won.
However, he couldn't be happy. Staring at the woman in front of him, his eyes finally showed some seriousness, and the contempt from before was gone.
The opponent has also gained complete control of the situation!
No, how could a disabled person from a small town possess such terrifying comprehension?
He couldn't help but ask, wanting to know exactly how many years the other person had practiced this sword Blade Art.
Chen Qingyan ignored him and looked towards the distant battlefield.
In mid-air, Shang Yi stared calmly at the young man who was charging towards him.
In a battle between Golden Core Fifth Turn cultivator and a first-stage cultivator, the advantage lies with him.
Boom!
His inner power surged, and a layer of light flowed around his body, crushing a piece of ancient wood beneath his feet.
Call out!
With Killing intent on his face, Shang Yi vanished from his spot and appeared directly in front of Jiang Ping. He used his Peerless Supernatural power to unleash a terrifying palm strike.
The power of the Middle Golden Core cultivator erupted like a volcano, engulfing Jiang Ping.
Boom!
Jiang Ping remained calm, yet he also unleashed the power of his Golden Core, merging it with the Yellow Springs Saber. Furthermore, Jiang Ping unlocked most of the power of his Innate Bone Technique.
He never used this technique to enhance his Combat strength when facing an enemy.
This is the first time.
Jiang Ping chose to go all out for the first time!
Thump!
A thunderclap seemed to strike in mid-air, deafening and blindingly bright, as both sides immediately unleashed their full power, without any attempt to test each other.
Bang.
Shang Yi stared in shock at his severed hand.
How could this be?
I am Golden Core Fifth Turn cultivator, and I am using the most powerful Supernatural power in the world. Even if the opponent has Golden Core condensed from a Twelfth Stage True Qi and has mastered the complete power, they should not be like this.
He was injured right after the fight began?
Shang Yi's face darkened. He refused to believe in evil and used another top-level Supernatural power to attack Jiang Ping.
The power of such Supernatural power ability is stronger than that of Ordinary Momentum, not to mention the absolute advantage of cultivation level.
However.
The next moment, Jiang Ping's body was enveloped in a shower of light, and with another intense collision, Shang Yi discovered that a large chunk of his left shoulder had been sliced off, leaving it a bloody mess with bone visible.
"You're no good. No wonder you're unknown and forgotten."
Jiang Ping stepped into the Void and slowly approached.
Shang Yi was furious. He was very famous in the Imperial City and was considered a top-tier First-rate Genius!
Boom!
Shang Yi unleashed his great Supernatural power, employing a secret technique of his clan to enhance his Combat strength.
Jiang Ping expressionless, his entire body surging with power, his blade roaring, his Bone Technique subtly shifting as he unleashed slash after slash, directly shattering his opponent's powerful Supernatural power.
Puff!
Shang Yi, a Middle Golden Core cultivator, was cleaved away and crashed to the ground, his body covered in knife wounds and his clothes stained with blood.
His eyes were heavy, and alarm bells were ringing.
Jiang Ping is acting strange!
Shang Yi came from the Ancient Aristocratic Family and had extensive knowledge. He felt that this Martial Bone Talent somewhat monstrous, much more uncanny than Xiao Yucheng.
"She's incredibly talented!"
In the sky, the Su Family's Half-Saint observed Jiang Ping's battle and was deeply moved. In a short period of time, the opponent not only achieved the Golden Core First Turn but also grasped the overall situation. Furthermore, there seemed to be fluctuations of some kind of terrifying Secret Technique, which allowed him to overwhelm even Middle Golden Core cultivators rather than being evenly matched or having a slight advantage.
Puff.
Xie Wuji struggling against several powerful enemies and was already severely injured. He was vomiting blood and his death was imminent; he wouldn't live much longer.
But he was smiling with pride on his face.
That kid said a few days ago that he only mastered half of the stance, but in just a few days, he has mastered the whole stance.
Good, the higher the talent, the more he likes it, and he will protect it without regret.
Bang!
The Su Family's Half-Saint gaze turned brooding as he unleashed his strongest attack.
A dazzling Sword Light descended, instantly evaporating everything, and the sky seemed to split open from top to bottom, leaving a long, dark gash.
He was just showing appreciation for Jiang Ping, but now he's revealing a strong Killing intent, determined to kill him.
"Shang Yi will die too!" Shang Family's Greater Golden Core cultivator couldn't help but speak up, as the opponent's Sword Light was too strong and would affect Shang Yi.
"We can't worry about that now. Xie Wuji can be killed later, but Jiang Ping must die first, lest things get complicated," the Su Family's Half-Saint said coldly.
If you won't take refuge, then go to hell.
Boom!
Just as Jiang Ping was about to grab Shang Yi by the neck, he felt something, looked up, and then saw the bright sunlight.
The Sword Light was more dazzling than the sun, and it was extremely fast and sudden. Xie Wuji and Headmaster Qin, who were already seriously injured, wanted to stop it, but they were powerless to do so.
"Don't want!"
Shang Yi was the first to feel fear, because he couldn't escape either.
Thump!
Suddenly.
Jiang Ping suddenly felt that time had stopped.
No, to be more precise, the Sword Light was slowed down a hundred times, a thousand times.
"Jiang Saint!"
The group of Half-Saint suddenly looked up and saw the sky change color, with stars covering the sky, turning from white to black in an instant.
"Phew~" Shang Yi breathed a long sigh of relief; he had survived.
The next second...
A large hand suddenly gripped his neck, and with a crack, Shang Yi's head twisted 180 degrees. Looking at the young man who had suddenly attacked, he heard his last whisper before dying:
I'm also afraid that things might change if I wait too long.
