"Boom!!"
Yet the instant Ping'an punched Cangwu's Life-Bound Flying Sword away, the Jade Gourd Heavenly Lord Qingmu had summoned actually "swallowed" half of Ping'an's magic power in one gulp.
Ping'an's aura plummeted in an instant.
At the same time, a thick wooden sword formed from the roots of enormous trees abruptly encased Heavenly Lord Qingmu's Taiyi Dharma Aspect, and he sent a heavy punch crashing toward Ping'an.
"Bang!"
Amid the tremendous crash, although Ping'an blocked Heavenly Lord Qingmu's punch, he staggered several steps backward.

Just then, Heavenly Lord Qingmu drew his arm back again, ready to punch Ping'an.
But almost simultaneously, Xu Taiping landed on Ping'an's shoulder.

In a mere instant, the two had charged right up to Venerable Ziming and Elder Zhu Li.
This time, having prepared beforehand, the two
