Chen Ping's Sword

Chapter 328: Chapter 167: Cyan Dragon’s Broken Leg, Heaven’s Killing Intent

Chen Ping’s figure first hid in the dense forest, like a shadow of light, silently flowing down.

Gradually, this faint shadow finally disappeared completely, blending into the breeze and the dying sun.

Although night had not yet fallen, those watching anxiously from the mountain felt as if they had seen a ghost god.

In their sights, Chen Ping’s entire presence vanished, as if erased from the entirety of Heaven and Earth.

And at the place he disappeared, gradually, two figures emerged.

They were the former Sect Leader Sunx Yun and Sima Rou.

Their task was simple: to stir chaos at the foot of the mountain, rush into a certain spot during the heat of the bloody battle, and grab a certain item.

If no one distracted Jiang Wuji, and no one diverted the attention of the three thousand troops.

The master and disciple, despite being Innate Experts, would only be heading to their deaths.

However, as time passed, opportunities naturally arose.

This point, Chen Ping confidently calculated to perfection, without any error or omission.

...

Chen Ping knew that upon reaching the Grandmaster Realm, there is often the description of "Heart Melt Heaven and Earth, Observing the Trend of Heaven and Earth" or "Extreme Intent Divinity Transformation".

Therefore, he never considered launching a sneak attack on Jiang Wuji.

The target was not him.

No matter how arrogant someone might be, without any backup, attempting to sneak attack a legitimate Unity Realm Grandmaster is sheer foolishness.

This was clearly conveyed to him during the Trace Origin and Steal Fortune, through some of Tang Lin’er’s experiences, that Jiang Wuji is extremely troublesome and very hard to deal with.

Tang Lin’er possessed the damage-reducing ability "Brahma and I are One", his Martial Dao True Meaning had reached the Perfection Realm, deservedly ranking first on the Earth List, indeed extremely difficult to battle.

Even though Chen Ping’s sword technique was shocking, his divine power unrivaled, after exchanging over a dozen moves with him, he gained no advantage.

Being endlessly countered and attacked, defending while attacking back and forth, even against his damage-reducing and shifting techniques, there was no way to cope.

If Chen Ping hadn’t suddenly been inspired, integrating the Celestial Heart Bright Moon Sword’s Perfection Sword Intent into his own Primordial Swordsmanship, allowing him to surreptitiously discover an untrained flaw in Tang Lin’er’s "Brahma and I are One", seizing the momentum to kill, he might have had no solution.

At the same level, with sword techniques and cultivation technique in opposition, this can only be blamed on Tang Lin’er’s fate, an unavoidable circumstance.

But such a nearly flawless first on the Earth List, in the hands of Grandmaster Jiang Wuji, had little means to retaliate, being beaten into insane escape like a frightened mouse.

Exhausting every means, he escaped across the territory of Three Prefectures, relying solely on the cultivation technique "Brahma and I are One", stubbornly enduring, vomiting three liters of blood before leaving the battle.

Perhaps, because Jiang Wuji repeatedly attacked, unable to kill him, and fearing the anger of Dharma Aspect Sect’s experts, he did not pursue further.

If truly continued to chase, Tang Lin’er might face grave danger.

This is also why, after returning to the Dharma Aspect Sect, he remained extremely angry, vowing to avenge the humiliation of those three attacks.

In this light.

Besides the Celestial Heart Bright Moon Sword technique, even facing Jiang Wuji, Chen Ping might fare slightly better than Tang Lin’er, but probably not much.

Blind confidence, believing oneself can overcome everything, is irresponsible to oneself.

Can the Celestial Heart Bright Moon Sword at Perfection Level handle Jiang Wuji, this Grandmaster?

"Not optimistic."

Chen Ping was acutely aware.

He knew that swords derived from the heart are most easily attacking those with weak hearts or ones with loopholes, and attempting to breakthrough the Innate Perfection, transform intent into divinity, straight into the Realm of Ultimate Unity, the greatest growth lies in the heart.

"Heart Melt Heaven and Earth, after the heart and spirit transform, even the combat style may change."

At low levels, practicing unique martial arts, powerful cultivation techniques, surpassing levels might not be difficult.

But at higher levels, especially breaking through from Innate Perfection to Unity Realm, such major level breakthroughs entail all sorts of divine skills.

A casual challenge is unwise.

Regardless if this Grandmaster has injuries.

Regardless of the sophistication of his sword intent level cultivation and martial arts.

As long as he hasn’t reached the level of Unity of Heaven and Man.

To his eyes, it’s laughably like a three-year-old wielding a knife and stick.

Perhaps with accurate poses, or exquisite dance moves, practically it’s far from adequate.

Discovered from tens of yards away, it loses the essence of a sneak attack.

Moreover, might put oneself in a dangerous situation, once restrained and injured, then encircled by the military array, at that point escape is impossible, only dying a bitter death.

Considering this, Chen Ping’s target could only be the Central Army Tent of the Cyan Wood Dragon Locking Array, where Main General Jiang Yutong resided.

He believed, as long as he wasn’t encircled by the military array, first severing an arm.

Jiang Wuji alone couldn’t easily kill him.

With that being the case, beyond now mastering Tang Lin’er’s trump capability "Brahma and I are One".

...

The air was filled with a pungent smell of "Fierce Fire Oil" and "Tung Oil", and a large quantity of firewood was transported to various strategic locations.

"Truly going to set fire? Indeed, the Jiang family is ruthless, with strong determination, since forming enmity, definitely severing an arm, shattering the prestige of the East Wood Army."

Chen Ping secretly contemplated, deeply hiding his murderous intent.

Wherever he went, the entire military array was like a placenta, like an enormous root system, firmly locking onto the flat ground...
