The Lingyun Sect disciples were equally shocked. They had also looked into Xia Ping's background and knew that a little over a year ago, this kid had only been in the Purple Mansion Realm. Now he had actually reached the Treasure Refining Realm?!
Even for a Saint's disciple, such a rate of progress was absurdly exaggerated. Not even popping pills could be this fierce.
Jian Qingbai's face turned incomparably ugly. He finally understood why he had lost so miserably. A Divine Ability Realm cultivator fighting someone in the Treasure Refining Realm—if that was not courting death, what was?
"Bullying the younger generation?"
Xia Ping immediately laughed when he heard that. "I only just joined the Universe Sect. By seniority, I'm merely an entry-level disciple. How is this bullying the weak with the strong?"
"But if you refuse to accept this and want to stand up for Jian Qingbai, feel free to challenge me. I'll accompany you to the end."
He looked calmly at the black-clad man, Bian Haifan.
"A challenge? You're rather arrogant."
Bian Haifan spoke blandly, looking down at him from on high. "You are merely at the middle stage of the Treasure Refining Realm, while I have long since reached its peak and have one foot in the True Fire Realm. Do I need to personally act against a junior like you?"
"My mount alone can trample you flat."
He had no intention of acting personally. He intended to use only his mount to deal with Xia Ping.
What?!
The Universe Sect disciples were all enraged. This was simply looking down on them too much, carrying a trace of humiliation. If Xia Ping were truly defeated by the other side's mount, it would be a disgrace that could never be washed away for the rest of his life.
