Chen Ping's Sword

These people are too inexperienced, making assumptions.

Hua Lian’er replied helplessly, "It must be the riffraff that Righteousness Reaches the Heavens Tan Sihai befriended. Killing Tan Sihai, we’ve surely stirred a hornet’s nest. What do we do next?"

Just now, Chen Ping’s astonishing shooting technique made Hua Lian’er’s eyes light up again.

Though I always thought Seventh Brother was formidable,

Every time, he would display abilities beyond imagination.

What seems like a dead-end to ordinary people appears to him as a broad path where he easily finds a way out.

"What to do? When encountering hornets, besides running, there’s another way."

Chen Ping smiled leisurely.

"And that is to kill them all."

He took a deep breath, stepped onto the deck forcefully.

With clever use of energy, transverse force was unleashed.

The deck broke apart, five planks jumped up...

Chen Ping grabbed Hua Lian’er’s arm with one hand, and the Young Scholar’s shoulder with the other.

His leg movements were continuous beneath him.

Kicking the planks in front and on the side of him.

The Thirty-Six Spring Leg Techniques were now perfected.

Even though it was an Outer Sect Leg Technique learned in a past life, while the skill levels may vary, each usage has its own cleverness.

At this moment, Chen Ping’s Spring Leg kicked, like several long whips waving together, and with the Soft Power exerted, the five planks shot forward like arrows towards the water’s surface.

They sank and floated, revealing themselves on the water.

At a distance of three to five zhang, a plank appeared, and instantly laid out a floating bridge on the surface of the water.

The buoyancy of the planks had not completely dissipated yet.

Chen Ping increased strength underfoot, landing heavily, his figure leaped, turning into a faint streak of light and shadow.

Landing on the first floating plank.

His figure flickered, rushing straight toward the large ship.

The small boat behind him overturned with a boom.

Trapping several "Water Ghosts" underneath.

"Seven Stars Step can be used like this?"

Today, Hua Lian’er felt like her eyes were opened wide.

She originally thought Seven Stars Step was just a stepping technique, hardly of any use on water.

But she never expected Chen Ping could accurately calculate the plank’s buoyancy and even lay out a path on the water.

The distance of nearly twenty zhang was shortened in this strange way.

His figure flickered and boarded the large ship, the opponent didn’t even have time to react.

Afterwards, naturally, there was no suspense.

After Chen Ping stabbed the robust man to death with a pole, he immediately lost interest in the so-called Liijiang Five Ghosts.

They were just fellows with scary names but mediocre martial arts, relying on numbers to bluster.

On the large ship in the middle, the Changhe Gang Members were either dead or jumping into the water, and none dared to resist.

At this time, the other two large ships dodged away as if they had seen a ghost.

No longer daring to come close.

No one dared to attack anymore either.

"You see, people always bully the weak and fear the strong. When they know that once something is done, death is certain, no amount of benefit can drive them."

Chen Ping seemed to be explaining, yet also self-mocking.

Looking at the corpses lying all around on the ship, glancing at his hands, he sighed, and his heart hardened once again.

He raised his head, squinting slightly, looking at the sky.

He saw that silver shadow streak from east to west once more.

Diving into the low-hanging clouds, it vanished again.

"This thing will eventually cause trouble. It must be eliminated..."

Being watched by that great eagle all the time.

No matter how far or fast he fled, there was absolutely no secrecy.

Let alone shaking off the opponent’s large group.

It was simply impossible.

"Let’s land, the mountains and forests on both shores of the Cloud River are dense; perhaps relying on the leaves, we can block its vision and catch a temporary breather."

He had just escaped the tunnel not long ago and had already encountered enemies three times.

Though not extremely dangerous.

This suffocatingly dense assault was indeed too troublesome.

It was still far to go to reach Feiyun Crossing at Ling Mountain Prefecture.

Fighting all the way there was simply not feasible.

Perhaps the opponent’s plan was to wear him down.

The real Hu People experts were simply too lazy to act.

As long as they placed a bounty and spread the news, there would be plenty of lackeys and traitors, exhausting every effort to pursue, fight, and capture the two of them.

In fact, Chen Ping could understand the traitors’ mentality...

Because, in the original world’s history, whenever there was a regime change, or when the Hu People invaded.

Thousands upon thousands of traitors became more vicious than the Hu People, tearing at their kin like savage wolves and fierce tigers.

The rise and fall of the world, all manner of things, after seeing enough, are no longer novel.

Chen Ping did not hold any expectations for the conduct of some people.

Nor did he hope that some Jianghu hero would, upon hearing the news, come to lend him a hand.

He even guessed that the Hu People leader might join forces with the government officials, declaring him a sea robber.

The act of fleeing Xingqing Prefecture with Hua Lian’er.

Might also be characterized as brazenly abducting Princess Mingyue from the Prince’s Mansion.

Once such rumors spread, they would muddy the waters immediately.

Even hot-blooded righteous people wanting to intervene would have to think twice.

It’s possible a few muddle-headed ones might come to arrest and kill him, thinking to rescue Princess Mingyue.

That would be quite funny.

......

Subsequently, after the Changhe Gang was frightened into cowardice.

Chen Ping easily had the boats dock.

He threw the Young Scholar, who was so scared he nearly wet his pants, onto the shore, picked up Hua Lian’er again... and after one last glance at the dense forest, where faint moon-white figures appeared, he plunged into the vast jungle.
