As the first rays of dawn shone, they bathed Jiang Ping's face in a golden light.
His eyes were icy as he rose from the bed.
The five people surrounding them stood ready. Although they were all Close to the Dao Seed, they did not dare to underestimate their opponent. They were all geniuses of this caliber, none of them weak.
Of course, they were confident Tenfold they could capture the person in front of them.
"Do you want to fight us, or do you want to surrender obediently?"
The white-robed man at the head of the group spoke slowly, his body enveloped in a divine radiance—a Dao Light.
He was extremely talented. Although he had only Divine Wandering Sixth Heaven Realm, he had already "Supreme God Riding Light" and could rank among the top three on the Close to the Dao Seed Ranking in his own Great Domain.
The other four revealed their muscles one after another. The Black-Robed Woman displayed a powerful golden light of her Primordial Spirit. She was the most powerful among the five, having already passed the Seven-Nine Tribulation. Similarly, she was also "Supreme God Riding Light the Control Daoguang".
Jiang Ping put on the coat beside him, looked at the five people, and raised an eyebrow:
"I did not kill the person. This matter has nothing to do with me. You have the wrong person. Don't believe only one side of the story."
"Still denying it? Looks like you won't admit it until you're faced with the truth."
The man in white said coldly.
The Purple Robe youth beside him sneered:
"If you truly wish to prove your innocence, then bind your own hands and feet and allow us to search your Soul Search; the truth will be revealed in an instant."
Jiang Ping's face grew even colder as he stared at the Purple Robe: "Are you saying that I did nothing, yet I'm forcing you to undergo Soul Search to prove whether I did it?"
"Ding Peng has already testified against him."
"They haven't even caught the culprit, and you call this evidence? You just believe the culprit's one-sided story like that?"
Jiang Ping frowned.
Are these five people idiots? Do they just believe whatever others say?
Oh, he understood. This matter had damaged the reputation of the Di Family's First Dragon, who needed to find someone to establish his authority. Ding Peng's accusation that he was one of the culprits made him the perfect candidate to do so.
"Don't waste words with him, just take him down. Even if he refuses to admit it, once we search his soul, the whole story will become clear."
The man in Purple Robe robes had barely finished speaking when he made his move.
He wasn't the strongest of the five, but he still hoped to make a contribution, such as being the first to act and thus earning the credit.
Thump!
In an instant, the Void exploded, and countless Runes.
The surrounding energy surged violently, a strong wind whipped up a soaring dragon of smoke, and terrifying golden light of Primordial Spirit spread in all directions, even causing several onlookers in the Spirit Wander Seventh Heaven to cough up blood from the shockwave.
"The Purple Robe does possess some strength; once he transcends the Seven-Nine Tribulation, he might not be weaker than me."
The Black-Robed Woman standing nearby couldn't help but comment.
Aside from those renowned prodigies, the differences between most of the Close to the Dao Seed cultivators are not significant. Neither the Purple Robe nor she is weak, and they have a good chance of reaching the Peak after undergoing Eighth or Ninth Tribulations in the future.
Jiang Ping's robes fluttered as he stared at the Purple Robe gathering power in mid-air, and said, "Soul Search left and Soul Search, aren't you afraid that your words will become a self-fulfilling prophecy and bring Great Tribulation upon yourself?"
The man in Purple Robes ignored him, and a surge of Sha Qi erupted from his body, bursting forth and engulfing everything in its Sha Qi.
This is his Dao Path: cultivating the Heavenly Fiend to forge his own body. This Sha Qi is terrifying enough to corrode everything. He once used this method to kill a Spirit Wander Seventh Heaven, a feat that can be described as astonishing.
Thump!
In an instant, the huge inn, which had its Celestial Flower ripped off, was now completely consumed by the Sha Qi.
Boom!
Of course, this was not the true Combat strength of the Purple Robe. He combined secret techniques to push his strength to its peak, and his Sha Qi expanded, corroding several surrounding buildings.
Immediately afterward, the Purple Robe made a powerful move, pressing his palm forward gently. The Heavenly Fiend, like several Azure Dragons. Wherever it passed, everything decayed, and even the space itself cracked with thin, long fissures.
Thump!
A deafening explosion resounded in mid-air, its Sha Qi aura sweeping across the heavens. The Heavenly Fiend Azure Dragon, intertwined with Dao Patterns and principles, swept forward with unstoppable force.
Jiang Ping remained unmoved, his blue robes fluttering in the wind, his figure enveloped in Heavenly Fiend. Before the Azure Dragon formed from that Heavenly Fiend, he seemed like a weak ant.
Sulfuric acid!
With a surge of Saber Intent, Jiang Ping finally moved.
His right hand trembled slightly, and a golden longsword materialized in his palm. The sound of the sword gradually grew louder, like the roar of a tiger and the cry of a dragon.
This is the Murong Family's ultimate Killing Technique, the Primordial Spirit Golden Saber!
Boom!
When the golden light emanating from Jiang Ping's Primordial Spirit shone brightly, the white-robed man and the Black Robe woman watching by instantly changed their expressions, secretly exclaiming "This is bad!" and immediately tried to rush to his aid.
Unfortunately, they were watching from afar, and by the time they acted, they were a beat too late.
Boom!!
Jiang Ping's blade was as ferocious as the Ancestor Dragon, and the flowing Primordial Spirit was indestructible. Just by escaping, the Heavenly Fiend in the surrounding area cracked apart.
Sulfuric acid!
He gently slashed at the Heavenly Fiend with his sword, and in an instant, the Heavenly Fiend Azure Dragon that had once slain Seventh Heavens crumbled into pieces, and the Heavenly Fiend vanished into thin air.
Moreover, the blade's light showed no sign of weakening, heading straight for the Purple Robe.
The Purple Robes was taken aback and hurriedly used various top-tier techniques to defend himself. However, the blade light pressed down like a towering mountain, and its terrifying force caused the Void to explode.
"Ah--!"
With a piercing scream, the Purple Robe- robed figure nearly exploded, Golden Blood gushing out like rain.
The terrifying impact sent him flying backwards.
Bang! Bang!
In the distance, numerous buildings were shattered and collapsed, instantly forming a long, horizontal ditch that created a cloud of rubble and dust along its course.
At the end of the ditch, the Purple Robe tumbled to the ground, coughing up large mouthfuls of Golden Blood, his True Self Body riddled with cracks.
But the power of the Primordial Spirit Golden Saber was far more than that. When the terrifying power raged within his body, he deeply experienced what it meant to suffer excruciating pain.
"Ah!!"
This is Blade Art specifically designed to target the Primordial Spirit, causing it to instantly experience excruciating pain, its face contorted in agony, and its wails echoing for miles around.
The onlookers couldn't help but shudder. The fact that a Close to the Dao Seed could let out such a heart-wrenching scream was a testament to the terrifying power of the Golden Knife.
Compared to the reactions of the onlookers, the four Close to the Dao Seed, including the man in white, were even more alarmed.
The Purple Robe was no weakling. Among the five, although he was not as good as the two "Supreme God Riding Light" Close to the Dao Seed, he was still much stronger than the other two.
However, even such a master was severely injured by the person in front of them with a single blow. Just hearing that terrible scream made their scalps tingle.
This Blade Art is extraordinary; it is extremely deadly to the Primordial Spirit!
And.
"You have already passed the Seven-Nine Tribulation!" The woman in Black Robes said solemnly, for the golden light emanating from the other's Primordial Spirit was in no way weaker than her own.
As expected, those who dare to come alone to participate in the Three Dragons Competing for the Throne are no ordinary people.
On the other side, the man in white strode over, approaching Jiang Ping. He glanced at his companion who was still wailing, his gaze towards Jiang Ping grew even colder, and he barked:
"You're incredibly vicious; no wonder some cultivators who had Close to the Dao Seed died tragically at your hands."
"Hehe."
Jiang Ping couldn't help but chuckle.
He was perfectly fine at the inn when the other party came up and started tearing off the Celestial Flower of his room. Without any evidence, they directly labeled him as the murderer and even struck first.
He was merely acting in self-defense, yet he was accused of malicious intent.
Isn't it because that Purple Robe is too weak?
He's at the Seventh Heaven, yet he only slightly attacked someone at a lower level. It was clearly the opponent who couldn't block it, so how can you blame him for that?
There's nothing to argue about.
Jiang Ping didn't even bother to look at the young man in white; he only slightly raised the knife in his hand.
To determine right and wrong, let's first ask his knife!
