Chen Ping's Sword

"In this way, aren’t we just waiting for death?"

Chen Ping looked down at the deep bloody mark on his chest, feeling a bit speechless.

Although the injury wasn’t severe, the flesh was slow to recover, as if some inexplicable force within the wound was preventing the cells from dividing and regrouping.

"Sword Intent embryo... Even as an embryo, it is already so formidable."

Rather than despair, Chen Ping felt even more drawn to it.

"It’s a pity, Seventh Brother, your Primordial Iron Body hasn’t reached Great Success yet. If you can reach the Silver Body Realm, Sword Elder’s Martial Intent embryo will no longer affect you."

Hua Lian’er didn’t inquire about where Chen Ping had learned the Primordial Technique.

She only knew that after going out of town that night, Seventh Brother’s strength skyrocketed...

Not only did he learn the Clear Wind Shadowless Sword, but he also mastered the top-tier Body Refining Technique, the Primordial Technique, on the Qi Blood Martial Arts, and understood the Condensing Force Technique. It was indeed very strange.

None of that mattered. The most important thing was how to face that Sword Elder.

Because, just after escaping, they heard the eagle’s cry in the sky.

All the circles they had drawn by turning left and right were once again in vain.

That Sword Elder didn’t need to meander around, he directly chased straight on, crossing mountains and cutting through forests as needed.

With his profound realm, he directly broke through obstacles and took a straight path.

Soon, he was chasing not far behind them again.

Even faster than him was that monkey.

That fellow wasn’t deterred at all and wasn’t afraid. It shrieked sharply, calling for companions while chasing eagerly.

The Spiritual Monkey Body Technique, although inferior to Chen Ping’s Swallow Returning Butterfly Dance and Seven Stars Step, in the jungle, it wasn’t far behind.

Moreover, this person didn’t concern themselves with the terrain and didn’t need to evade, so it was impossible to shake him off.

That is why it had become a difficulty now.

To avoid being caught and slain by the Sword Elder, first, they mustn’t be entangled by anyone.

Then, they absolutely must eliminate that damned monkey first.

Although many experts from the Beizhou Barbarians were pursuing, very few were as nimble and quick as Blood Monkey Yuan Xiu.

Others couldn’t catch up or hold them down.

But Blood Monkey could.

In some ways, he was even more tenacious than Flower-Loving Young Master Jiangh Yudie.

At least, if Jiangh Yudie gave an opportunity, a single move could disable him.

But this Blood Monkey could withstand a few moves and still manage to survive as backup, albeit briefly.

As long as he delayed even a bit, the Sword Elder could arrive in time to save him...

And then unleash a fatal sword strike.

Under the Lifeless Sword, there is no life, only death.

If they couldn’t kill Blood Monkey Yuan Xiu, they would never escape the Sword Elder’s pursuit.

So, the only option was to dodge and escape from view before Blood Monkey Yuan Xiu could catch up.

This was something that could be done.

Chen Ping, being equipped with two top-tier body and stepping techniques, if he truly wanted to escape, Spiritual Monkey Yuan Xiu could only eat dust.

The pity was, temporarily escaping wouldn’t help.

The sky still held a pair of eyes.

The Divine Eagle Eye.

Spiritual Monkey Yuan Xiu wasn’t chasing alone.

There were scores of experts encircling from all directions, blocking every path and position.

They had the entire map open.

Whereas he was groping in the dark.

Speed alone was the fastest, yet it was of no use.

He couldn’t carve a straight path and simply exit the mountain.

Otherwise, they would ambush him, trapping him like a pocket.

The situation would become even more difficult.

"This won’t do, we must first take down that big bird; otherwise, all this futile escaping will be for naught."

Left or right, nothing worked.

Chen Ping was thoroughly irritated by that Hai Dongqing.

Sometimes, the outcome of a battle hinges on a small point... stacking advantages to create a winning trend, leaving no solutions in the end.

At this moment, regardless of where he fled or how well he hid, it was all in vain.

Even if he dug a hole and hid in it completely, the bird would circle above, holding fast, not deceived at all.

It truly lived up to the name of Divine Eagle.

Not only was its innate flying ability astonishing, its hunting prowess strong, but also its keen mind and exceptional intelligence.

A bird being this formidable, it isn’t much dumber than a human.

As long as he couldn’t shake it off, Chen Ping dared not stop.

He worried that if he did, he would be surrounded by a sea of enemies, trapped and slain in a bloody fight.

"Wait, Xiaoyue, earlier when we burrowed into the mud hole, didn’t that bird slow down and circle in place?"

"Yes, this bird is extremely hateful, it seemed very cunning."

Even Hua Lian’er was quite amazed, if that big bird wasn’t such a detestable enemy, she might have wanted to keep one.

It was indeed too clever.

Nothing could fool its eyes.

"Cunning, huh? Right, since it’s cunning and understands human nature, can’t we use that to our advantage?"

Chen Ping gritted his teeth secretly.

’Just give me one chance, once is all I need.’

’Previously, in the relentless pursuit and battles, I never showcased any archery skill that could threaten it, this could be leveraged.’

With that thought, a flash of insight came to him.

There is a difference between people.

Like between the intelligent and the foolish.

The strength of the intelligent is in doing things with minimal effort, never exerting more than necessary.
