Chapter 241 Li Ping, the One Who Was Scorned
Near an uninhabited glacier outside Flying Snow City.
Li Ping coldly stared at Long Jie, whose expression was grim, not far away. Two puppets, A1 and A2, appeared beside him.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, I kindly invited you to leave the city together, what do you mean by this?" Long Jie tried to stall for time while talking to Li Ping, and at the same time tried to circulate his magic power to remove the toxins from his body.
He never expected that Bai Yi, such a beautiful and pure snow girl, would secretly poison him on her way out of Flying Snow City!
Moreover, the poison was administered in an extremely subtle way. It wasn't until he felt numbness in his body and his magical power became sluggish that he realized something was wrong.
In desperation, he first cast a magical shield on himself to block the poison Li Ping had used, and then spoke the words above.
Of course, he still believes that the person in front of him is Bai Yi, and that the reason she poisoned him is probably because she doesn't trust him.
Long Jie silently sensed his inner power and found that although it was much more difficult and obscure to mobilize than before, it was still not a problem to deal with a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator. Only then did he feel relieved.
"You vile wench, how dare you poison me! I'll show you what I'm made of!" Long Jie was about to strike, but when he looked up, he froze.
Two black puppets stood on either side of Bai Yi, each with a bow drawn and arrow aimed at him, while Bai Yi herself held an earthen-yellow talisman in her hands, chanting incantations.
Upon seeing this, Long Jie was instantly shocked and enraged: "This vile woman wants to kill me."
He hurriedly reached for his storage pouch at his waist, and two second-tier high-grade magic artifacts, one for offense and one for defense, flew out. The palm-sized ice crystal shield expanded in the wind, transforming into a shield several meters tall in the blink of an eye, and stood in front of Long Jie with extreme spiritual power.
Meanwhile, another black hammer, about the size of a palm, transformed into the size of a water tank and hovered beside Long Jie, subtly protecting him.
Before the toxins in his body were cleared and before he understood the enemy's methods, even though he was facing only a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator, Long Jie remained vigilant and focused on defense!
But when he saw Jia Yi and Jia Er suddenly draw back their bowstrings, a dazzling spiritual light burst forth from the bow, which was as tall as a man.
Sensing the astonishing spiritual energy within the light, his expression immediately changed: "Two high-grade second-tier puppets! How is this possible? How could this lowly servant, a mere mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator, possess such a treasure?"
Long Jie felt a pang of regret, regretting that he had provoked Bai Yi.
If he had returned directly to Buyun City, nothing would have happened.
Of course, he didn't know that the snowman girl in front of him was coming for him, and he had no chance of escaping.
call out!call out!
Amidst a terrifying roar, two black streaks of light shot towards Long Jie's position, one after the other.
Almost simultaneously, the Void Seal Treasure in Li Ping's hand also absorbed enough magic power, and an ancient, earthy yellow seal flew out from his palm. It swelled in the air and expanded to the size of a palace in the blink of an eye.
Immediately, Li Ping pointed his finger, and the palace seals, large and small, crashed down on Long Jie with a thunderous roar, as if they were about to smash him into mincemeat!
"A talisman!" The terrifying aura of the Void Seal terrified Long Jie, making him lose his mind.
However, things have priorities. The most urgent task was dealing with the two spirit arrows that flew in one after the other. Long Jie hurriedly manipulated the ice crystal shield to block them in front of him.
Feeling that a shield might not be enough, he made a hand seal, and a black hammer the size of a water vat spun to meet the incoming arrow.
However, due to the poison, his internal magic was dull and sluggish, making it quite difficult for Long Jie to use it. Therefore, neither the black hammer nor the shield could reach their maximum power at this moment.
Thus, after the collision—
boom!
The superior-grade black hammer magic weapon was instantly blasted into fragments by the incoming arrow. Then, from among the fragments that resembled a celestial maiden scattering flowers, a black stream of light shot out like a venomous snake and slammed heavily into the huge ice crystal shield.
Pong!
Faced with the full force of the second-tier superior puppet, the ice crystal shield did not perform much better than the black hammer.
After a heart-stopping crash, the ice crystal shield was shattered, and the surging force of the impact, along with fragments of the magical artifact, rushed towards Long Jie.
Fortunately, he had already sensed something was wrong and at the critical moment, he quickly tore up a talisman, forming an earthen wall to block the aftershocks of the attack.
"Two blows destroyed two of my top-grade magic artifacts!" Long Jie was heartbroken, but his hands moved quickly. He patted the storage bag at his waist, and two more streams of light flew out of the storage bag, swirling around him.
However, of these two magical artifacts, only the flying sword is a second-tier high-grade magical artifact, while the shield is only a second-tier mid-grade artifact.
In reality, Long Jie obtained these two magical artifacts by taking advantage of the chaos in the city to enrich himself; they did not belong to him personally.
The earthen-yellow seal, the size of a palace, came crashing down, but its attack speed was not as terrifying as the arrows shot by the puppet. So, while maneuvering his flying sword to deal with the Void Seal, Long Jie quickly moved his body to avoid the attack!
Peng!
After Long Jie dodged, the Void Seal slammed directly onto the ground.
The force of this attack was so great that it caused the ground for miles around to shake violently, the glaciers nearby to rumble, and a large amount of snow to roll down the mountain, forming a massive avalanche.
Seeing the flying sword in the sky with its spirit greatly diminished, Long Jie felt a pang of heartache, but at the same time, he was also glad that he had dodged that terrifying attack.
But he didn't have time to think any further.
Under Li Ping's control, the Void Seal stirred up the wind and snow once more, radiating astonishing spiritual energy, and crashed straight towards him.
Long Jie hurriedly made a hand seal to control his flying sword to block it.
However, the flying sword had already suffered considerable damage in the collision just now, and after a series of rapid collisions, it lost all its spiritual power and fell to the ground.
Long Jie then took out a jade-green throwing knife from his storage bag, and at the same time, his shield moved to block in front of the Void Seal.
The magical artifact was destroyed so quickly. Fortunately, he had looted a lot of things during the internal strife in the city before, otherwise Long Jie would be helpless and waiting to die now!
"This is definitely not a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator. Even Old Ghost Che doesn't have this strength!" Long Jie roared inwardly, unable to help but begin to doubt the true identity of the snowman-like beauty in front of him.
But he will never have the chance to know the truth.
Because the two puppets beside Li Ping, after missing their first attack, each took out a spirit arrow from their quiver on their backs, slowly drew back the bowstring, and aimed at Long Jie's position!
After a series of battles, coupled with poisoning, Long Jie no longer had enough magic power to defend against the puppet's attacks.
Faced with two incoming arrows, he could only block one of them at the cost of destroying his magical artifact.
Another arrow easily tore through his protective shield and pierced his skull.
The arrow pierced through his skull and disappeared into the snow. Behind him, Long Jie's head exploded like a watermelon.
Red and white splattered all around, like red roses blooming on the snow.
He deliberately kept the Void Seal suspended in the air instead of smashing it down directly, so as not to destroy the storage bag of the unknown cultivator and the treasures inside.
"go!"
Li Ping patted the storage bag at his waist, and Jia San flew out from it, transforming into a streak of light and flying towards the headless corpse not far away to retrieve the storage bag hanging on its waist.
Jia San was thick-skinned and tough, so even if the cultivator left behind some tricks to ambush the enemy after his death, it was not afraid.
While ordering Jia San to retrieve the corpse, Li Ping himself made a slight gesture, and the palace-sized seal in mid-air rapidly shrank and flew towards him, eventually reverting to an earthen-yellow talisman that floated down into Li Ping's palm.
But just as Li Ping reached out to catch it, the earthen-yellow talisman suddenly ignited without fire, and burned extremely quickly, leaving only a clump of ashes in the blink of an eye, which disappeared without a trace when the wind blew.
Clearly, the power within the Void Seal Treasure had been completely exhausted after the fierce battle just now.
Li Ping shook his head, not caring about the matter.
Once the talisman is gone, it's gone. With his current abilities, he doesn't really rely on talismans anymore.
Moreover, he can also obtain the opponent's storage bag in this battle.
According to the Treasure-Seeking Beast's senses, there might be something in its storage bag that is comparable to a magical artifact.
Such a magical object is more than enough to make up for his loss.
He made a fortune this time!
He took the storage bag from Jia San, put all the puppets into the storage bag, and then launched a fireball to burn the corpses on the ground to ashes.
Li Ping then flew slowly towards Flying Snow City. Once he reached a deserted place, his figure and face returned to normal, and his clothes were changed back to their original style.
The gates of Flying Snow City remain open to all.
Fearing repercussions from the Flying Snow Sect, most of the rogue cultivators took the opportunity to leave, but Li Ping went against the flow of people and entered the city.
After briefly surveying the city, Li Ping flew towards the Flying Snow Sect.
The Flying Snow Sect's protective formation hadn't been repaired yet, so Li Ping flew directly into it.
But as soon as he entered the Flying Snow Sect, he was stopped.
The one who stopped him was a young Foundation Establishment cultivator who coldly looked at Li Ping: "Who are you, daring to trespass into my Flying Snow Sect!"
Li Ping frowned slightly, but in the end he simply explained, "I am a friend of your sect leader. You can find out the truth by asking around."
"Hmph! Since you're a close friend of the sect leader, why were you nowhere to be seen during the previous battle?" The young cultivator sneered, looking at Li Ping with disdain.
In fact, he recognized Li Ping the moment he saw him; he had deliberately stopped Li Ping.
In his view, Li Ping, as a close friend of the sect leader, chose to run away the moment the sect encountered a crisis.
He ran away, and that's all he had to say.
As a result, the Flying Snow Sect suffered heavy losses, and after finally stabilizing the situation, he returned.
Such behavior naturally earned his contempt.
……
Li Ping then realized that he was being looked down upon by the cultivator in front of him.
He couldn't help but shake his head inwardly.
If it weren't for him refining the Profound Heart Pill for True Person Qianxue, the Flying Snow Sect might have already been destroyed.
In fact, he was a great benefactor of the Flying Snow Sect.
This young cultivator in front of me is truly ungrateful.
"You're young and naive, and you don't understand the truth, so I don't blame you."
