In the blink of an eye, October 10th arrived.
Early in the morning, before Fang ping could set off, the news came.
"Monster Sunflower City Master, monster Phoenix City Master, and the monster Phoenix, three rank-9s, are coming together. They're currently rushing over to Hope City ..."
Fan Hua, who had just returned from the catacombs, said anxiously,""Old fan and big brother Guo can't hold on much longer. Not just these three, there are rank-9s coming from the depths! Vice-Chancellor Wu, Dean li, what do we do now?"
"How anxious," li Changsheng sighed.
Wu kuishan said calmly,"I expected this. Three ... I don't think three is enough. At least five. There's more!" "Fang ping, be careful. We might not be able to make it back in time."
"I know,"
Fang ping responded. Old man Li scanned the room and asked, "Where's Qin Fengqing?"
"He broke through and went out to show off. He'll probably be back soon."
As they were talking, Qin Fengqing returned. He landed from the sky and laughed."Cool! Being a Grandmaster is really different, it's so cool!"
Old man Li shot him a glance, frowning slightly. "Don't die from the waves! I'm not expecting anything from you, just don't drag him down!"
Qin Fengqing was speechless. He said gloomily,"am I that kind of person?"
"Yes!"
Qin Fengqing was tired and did not feel like talking.
Old man Li ignored him. He looked at Fang ping and said,"Do your best to come back. Remember, your life is the most important!"
"We will!"
Old man Li continued,"now that the others are not here, I'll say something more realistic. Annihilating the evil sect is not your personal responsibility, nor is it your personal duty!
This is something that all the powerhouses in the world should consider. Sometimes, people need to be sacrificed, but it's not your turn!
Remember, if the others die, then they die. A bunch of old guys, it's no big deal if they die.
The old man didn't have any intention of siding with anyone.
If they didn't work for the young now, who would shelter their descendants from the wind and rain when their descendants had achievements in the future?
The prosperity of the martial Dao originated from this!"
"Li Changsheng, we don't need you to teach us how to do things!" Someone in the air said coldly.
Old man Li raised his head and snorted,"Nanyun ping, you're a rank-8, fifth-refined expert. Put in some effort!" "You're a hundred-year-old old man. If you die, so be it. Fang ping is dead, but if you're not, you're a traitor!"
"Li Changsheng!"
Nanyun Ping's face was ashen as she coldly shouted,""I don't need you to teach me!"
Old man Li sneered. He looked at Fang ping and said,"This old woman's strength is considered extremely strong among the rank-8s. She's also old. At the critical moment, we have to fight with our lives. Let her go ..."
Fang ping did not know whether to laugh or cry. Before he could finish, old man Li said,"Old Chen, where's your grandson-in-law? he's going to risk his life this time!"
"Just mind your own business."
"If I don't give you some advice, who knows if you'll help ..."
"Shut up, you!"
The person who said this was none other than Wu kuishan.
Wu kuishan cupped his hands at the few of them and said,"I'll have to trouble you all this time!"
"President Wu, there's no need to be so formal. This is what I should do."
Nan yunping was rather polite to Wu kuishan. She smiled and said, "Don't worry, it'll be fine,"
Wu kuishan did not say anything more. He took a deep breath and said,"Then we'll go in first. Old fan and the others won't be able to hold on for long!"
Old man Li said no more. He rose into the air and soon disappeared from where he was.
The two of them had just left when Wang Jinyang and Yao Chengjun arrived in the air.
Below, Lu fengrou, Tang Feng, and Huang Jing strolled over.
Beside Fang ping were li Hansong and Qin Fengqing. In addition to Nan yunping, Liu polu, and Chen yaoting, there were 10 people in total.
Fang ping looked at Lu fengrou and the others, saying in a low voice,"Teacher, you guys shouldn't go!"
"I'm your teacher,"Lu fengrou said in a bad mood." Now you're making it seem like li Changsheng is your teacher. You ungrateful wretch. I'm not as strong, and you want to change your allegiance?
What, you don't like it?
If you didn't like me, then don't choose me as your teacher ..."
Fang ping said gloomily,"weren't you the one who forced me to take you in as my disciple ..."
"What did you just say? Can you repeat that?"
Fang ping shrugged and said,"Minister Wang from the Education Department will be here too. I won't be calling for the others. A rank-7 trying to hold a rank-9 back ... That's too dangerous!
"If the evil sect has rank-7 and 8 martial artists, everyone can just deal with the rank-7 and 8 martial artists. There's no need to keep those rank-9s busy ..."
Everyone frowned. Nan yunping said in a deep voice,""Who's going to deal with the rank-9 then?"
Fang ping laughed."It depends on the situation ... If it really doesn't work out, I'll find a chance to run. Everyone, be careful. Their target is me. If I run, there won't be a big problem."
As he said that, Fang ping suddenly laughed and said,"actually, did everyone notice?" "There's a very interesting point. We and the evil sect actually know each other's goal, but we pretend not to know each other's goal. We're even afraid to tell each other that we actually know your goal ..."
As soon as he said this, everyone burst into laughter.
Chen yaoting laughed."It's not a surprise. Everyone just wants an opportunity!"
They didn't dare to attack demonic city in public. If they really caused the deaths of millions of people ... Just wait and see. Now, this group of peak cultivators who were pretending to be deaf and mute wouldn't let it go easily!
Among the six sacred lands, the paragons of the other five families were not in the minority, but no one said anything.
There were some things that both of them were well aware of.
However, once a murder case is caused, involving the life and death of millions of people, no matter how much you pretend to be deaf and dumb, you can't do it. "
Fang ping laughed, then took a deep breath and said,"Then let's go! "I'll go get some energy stones for everyone's supplements ..."
Everyone nodded, and Fang ping quickly went underground.
After a while, Fang ping walked out of The Golden House!
Nanyun ping and the others were slightly surprised, but Wang Jinyang and the others were indifferent.
At this moment, another five people walked over. Nan yunping frowned slightly and looked at the five people, feeling that they were not familiar.
Fang ping did not say much. He looked at the few of them and said, "Don't leave a thousand meters behind me. Follow me!"
The five of them nodded and did not speak.
Fang ping, on the other hand, rose into the air and said loudly,"Mcmau instructors and students, don't go to the sea. This time, my breakthrough has caused a huge commotion. A tsunami is coming, and only high-ranked martial artists can resist it!
"Everyone, stay in school. Cultivate when you need to and watch TV when you need to. Don't die in my hands instead of in the catacombs!"
When he saw Luo Yichuan and Zhang Jianhong rising into the air not far away, Fang ping shouted,"Deans, please stay in the school to prevent others from sneaking into the school and stealing the mine vein after we leave!"
Luo Yichuan and Zhang Jianhong looked at each other, but they did not say anything. They quickly landed.
After Fang ping gave his instructions, not far away, on the crystal Pagoda, Chen Yunxi held Fang Yuan down and said loudly, "I'll wait for your return!"
"Alright!"
"Let's go!"
"Yes," Fang ping replied. Then, he shouted and flew toward the southern seaside.
Everyone followed him and quickly flew toward the island in the distance.
……
At the same time.
The capital.
Zhang Tao chuckled."True Kings from every region are gathering. They're really spending a lot of money just for one Fang ping."
"Hmph!" Nan yunyue snorted,"I've said it before. If we don't get rid of the evil sects as soon as possible, we'll breed trouble for ourselves ..."
"Alright, don't I want to get rid of it earlier?" Zhang Tao said with a headache. However, compared to the others, who the Pope was was more important. Without information on the Pope, how could he be eliminated?
Since he wants to arm wrestle with me, then let's do it once!
How can this kind of underground rat defeat me?"
"Don't be too confident!"Li Zhen said lightly. "Be careful of the other party's diversion. If their target isn't Fang ping, but the passages in various places, that'll be really troublesome!"
"Don't worry, I've already made arrangements. It'd be great if their target really is the passageway!"
Zhang Tao smiled and said,"I'm just afraid ... That these guys 'target is really Fang ping. That'll be a lot more troublesome." "If that brat Fang ping is really done for, li Changsheng and the others will definitely come after me ..."
Li Zhen glanced at him and frowned.""You really don't have any other arrangements?"
"Don't ask. If you do, I'll treat you as the Pope and try to get information from me. "
Li Zhen was speechless. After a while, he snorted,"If I were the Pope, I would have killed you long ago ..."
"You?" Zhang Tao sneered. To put it bluntly, you're only arrogant with the others, but you're still a little too inexperienced to face me. "Cut the crap. You'll go to Beihu catacombs, Nan yunyue will go to the Forbidden City catacombs, I'll go to Magic City catacombs ..."
"Check it out halfway. Don't you like to eavesdrop? Let's observe them secretly and see if we can find those guys. "
"You're the one who likes to eavesdrop!"
Zhang Tao snorted and laughed,""Difficult! These guys aren't stupid. If we don't go in, they won't show up! "In addition, something big is probably going to happen this time. After this, a region might be breached. Those who have their identities exposed will probably go in and seek refuge with their master ..."
"It doesn't matter much on our side," Li Zhen said indifferently. "If there's really a place that's being attacked, the chances of other places being attacked are higher.
However, those old guys were still holding the fort in the depths, so it didn't matter if they broke through. If they didn't put in any effort, they would probably wake up after some people died!
It's been so many years, but you're still sticking to your old ways, not fighting back ... It's good to see some blood. "
Zhang Tao laughed."You can't say that. After all, they're still one. Anyway, I've informed them in advance. Let's see how they prepare themselves."
After saying that, Zhang Tao took to the air and said,""Don't treat it as a game. This time ... There might be a bloody war! It's rare for the two imperial courts to have the same opinion. That fellow from the monster plant imperial court is not a good person either. He has long wanted to attack first. This time, he might want to break the defensive line at the defensive Sea Mountain!"
Li Zhen also rose into the air and continued,""Him? After he's heavily injured, will there still be people who listen to him?"
"Nonsense, do you really think he has no influence? Just wait and see, this was the first time the monster life Royal Court was working with him, they would be screwed to death sooner or later. But it didn't matter, he would screw him and I would screw me.
He thought that his plan was flawless, but he didn't even consider that without strength, his plan was useless!
I'm both powerful and calculative. He can't control the overall situation himself, so he played this trick with me. This time, he won't be able to bear the consequences!"
At this moment, Nan yunyue also soared into the sky. Her speed was extremely fast as she transmitted a message: "Zhang Tao, don't be too confident! Nanyun ping is right there. If you really die there, I won't let you off!"
"I'm already a hundred years old. If I'm dead, then I'm dead. It's no use even if you don't spare me ..."
"You!"
"Stop y-y-y-y-you. Hurry up. If we don't go now, these guys will really break through the defensive line at Mount Yuhai."
"Hmph!"
Nan yunyue snorted and instantly landed below the Forbidden City. The forbidden underground cave she needed to go to was very close, so she didn't need to travel too far.
……
Somewhere in China.
In the villa.
The crystal ball floated in the air, and someone inside chuckled,""Nan yunyue has entered the catacombs!"
The people in the villa did not speak.
A moment later, another voice came from the crystal ball,""Li Zhen has entered the catacombs!"
"Zhang Tao will be arriving in Shanghai soon ..."
Before he could finish, the black-robed sixth elder said in a deep voice,""Zhang Tao has gone to Shanghai. He's very close to us. Can we hold him back?"
"Don't worry! On Magic City catacombs 'side, there were two true Kings who would make a move. No matter how strong Zhang Tao was, could it be that he could take on two true Kings at once and kill the two true Kings? "If he really has that kind of strength, then we don't have to worry anymore. There will be people from the catacombs 'true king Palace who will continue to head to Magic city's catacombs and look for an opportunity to kill Zhang Tao."
"What about the Heavenly King?"
"The Heavenly King ... The Heavenly King won't attack! Once he makes a move, all the balance will be broken. Right now, both sides are not ready for an all-out war. "
The long-haired masked man continued to play with his golden knife and smiled.""Where is beigong Yun?"
" 10 li South of the island."
"I'm going to play with beigong Yan!"
As the long-haired masked man spoke, the small golden knife in his hand disappeared. He said playfully,"Pope, are you really not going to act this time?"
"It depends on the situation."
"Now that all the paragons have entered the catacombs, are you really the Pope?"
As soon as these words came out, the few people present fell into silence.
On the other side of the crystal ball, the neutral voice laughed,""Third elder, why are you so hung up on this? you haven't suffered any losses working with me all these years, have you?"
The long-haired masked man chuckled and said,"no, I'm afraid ... I'll be abandoned this time." There were still some differences between the absolute peak and the non-absolute peak.
If the Pope wasn't in the boundless stage, then I wouldn't be so afraid.
But if it's the absolute nightmare realm ... I'm a little worried. "
"Why do you say that?"
"The absolute nightmare realm ... What else do you want to pursue in the martial Dao?" The long-haired masked man smiled faintly,"then the unification of the church has a different meaning." Humans are all selfish, no one is an exception. "
The longhaired man said something profound before he finally laughed."Forget it, let's not talk about this. "On Fang Ping's side, are you sure there are only four rank-8s, Nanyun Ping, Chen yaoting, Wang Qinghai, and Liu polu?"
"I'm sure!"
The longhaired man chuckled."That's much easier. I'll deal with beigong Xi. Old eight will deal with these people. Old nine will deal with those small fries. Old six will go all out to kill Fang ping!"
"Third master really thinks highly of Fang ping. I thought you'd let ninth brother take care of him," the black-robed martial artist chuckled.
"Be careful," the longhaired man said calmly."If I wasn't afraid that you wouldn't be beigong Yan's match and that you'd be tied down in the end, I would've dealt with Fang ping myself!"
As soon as he said this, everyone looked at him. The newly arrived ninth elder was silent for a moment before saying,""I'll kill those rank-7 martial artists as soon as possible and go help sixth master in case Fang ping escapes. "
No one said anything.
After a while, the Pope spoke from the crystal ball,""Zhang Tao has entered the catacombs. Everyone, you may leave now!"
"Where's the Grand Elder?"
"I'll follow!"
"Give us a signal so that we don't mistake the enemy for our own."
As soon as he said this, an old voice came from a mobile phone.""This old man will wear a red robe."
"Tsk tsk ..."
The long-haired man laughed and said,""I understand. Actually, when that time comes, we won't be able to hide who we are from each other ... My identity will definitely be exposed when I fight beigong Yun.
"If we can't kill Fang ping this time, we won't be able to obtain the true king's ultimate technique. Everyone, let's just be obedient rats in the future. Otherwise, we can only go down to the catacombs and seek refuge ...
It's a pity that after planning for so many years, I don't think it's worth it to be a rat or a dog. "
In the crystal ball, the Pope laughed lightly."If third elder is confident that he can break through to the Paragon level himself, or if a Paragon is willing to teach him his unique skill, he can choose not to go."
The long-haired masked man sighed,"ultimate techniques ... Are difficult!" Besides, these guys are still alive. If that Yang family's master had spread his secret art, we could try, but unfortunately, he didn 't. "
The longhaired man said a few words before finally taking a deep breath and slowly saying, "Let's go, we don't need to go together, in case the Qi is too strong and we'll be discovered in advance!
"Remember, you must kill Fang ping. If you can't kill Fang ping, then no matter how many people you kill, it's all for naught."
"Understood!"
The other three people responded. Soon, the four of them walked out of the villa and instantly disappeared.
……
Mcmau southern area, Sea area.
The House of Gold was on top of Fang Ping's head. In front of him, Qin Fengqing was carrying a large pile of equipment and a camera, pointing it at Fang ping. He chuckled and said,"Fang ping, you're really going to do a live broadcast?"
"Of course!"
Fang ping laughed."It's all out. If we don't do a live broadcast, will we be letting down everyone's expectations?" Besides, I've already collected a fee for this live broadcast. It's 1 billion!"
“……”
Qin Fengqing was speechless and muttered,"is the TV station a fool?" Wouldn't you be vomiting blood?"
"Move aside, Who Do You Think You Are to compare with me? "This time, I'll broadcast my breakthrough to rank-8 live. At least one billion people will watch it. They'll make a profit."
While they were chatting, Nanyun ping and the others were vigilantly looking around.
Fang ping did not care about them and calculated his consumption.
Bringing along 11 powerhouses was not a small expense. One minute would cost him 2 million points.
It had been three minutes since he set off, which meant that he had consumed 6 million points. At most, it would take half an hour!
If the evil sect did not show up after half an hour, he would have to spend 60 million wealth points!
"Such a huge consumption ... This money has to be reimbursed!"
Fang ping sighed in his heart. 60 million points. That was 600 billion. Spending money like water. It would be unreasonable if he did not get a reimbursement this time.
"Other than this, I've spent another few tens of millions of points to create the imperishable substance. I've spent hundreds of millions!"
The more Fang ping thought about it, the more his heart ached.
This did not even include the rank-8 magic weapon that would be handed over to Nanyun ping, as well as the rank-9 longsword that had already been handed over to Liu polu.
"I don't know if these guys have any family property. If a level nine expert has a public identity, he should at least have some family property, right? It would be even better if they came from other sacred lands.
You don't have any property, but the Holy Land is rich! The people of the Holy Land attacked this old man, if old Zhang doesn't make them spit blood, I'll beat you all up in the future!"
Fang ping calculated all this. He was not surprised that there were Holy Land rank-9s among these people.
There was no other reason other than the Holy Land's rank-9 powerhouses had more freedom.
Since these powerhouses dared to come to Hua country to kill him, they could very well be rank-9s from some Holy Land.
"Of course, we can't rule out the possibility that there might be some free rank-9 martial artists.
"There are many catacombs in Sino nation. All rank-9 powerhouses have missions, and it's hard for them to get away.
However, in other places, some places were rather chaotic. There were more than 200 rank-9s on the global rank-9 ranking list. Hua had only 33 rank-9s on the list previously, and nearly 200 people were from other countries.
"Some of these people are just martial artists adventurers in the catacombs. They're not powerhouses in charge of the catacombs.
"Other Holy Lands might have rank-9s participating ... What about Star Town City?"
This thought rose in Fang Ping's mind, but he did not say it out loud.
It was hard to say!
There were not many rank-9s in Star Town City. However, these people were not responsible for guarding the catacombs. It did not matter even if they did not go to the king's battlefield. If they really left Star Town City in the dark, the others might not really care.
As a level nine expert, he was extremely free.
As Fang ping was thinking about this, Qin Fengqing, who was in front of him, laughed and said,"Alright, it seems to be connected. We should be able to do the live broadcast."
Fang ping laughed."I'll bid for the island later. After I break through, the island will probably be gone. I'll let everyone take a last look."
While they were talking, they were about to reach the island about 50 miles away from the coastline.
As soon as Fang ping arrived, his aura suddenly exploded to the extreme. Nanyun ping and the others also released their auras.
Fang ping shouted,"all the martial artists around, retreat quickly!" "When I break through later, I won't be able to suppress my mentality. When my mentality explodes, even a rank-7 will be suppressed to death!"
Knowing that Fang ping was going to break through here, many martial artists had come.
At this moment, Fang Ping's mentality pressure exploded. Some of the martial artists who had just reached middle-rank and could barely fly fell into the sea.
Fang ping shouted again,"leave quickly!" There's no need to lose your life just to observe a martial artist's breakthrough!"
Following the outburst of Fang Ping's aura, the martial artists gathered around him left one after another.
Martial artists were not stupid. Since Fang ping did not allow them to watch, they might really die if they stayed.
After these people left, Fang ping did not land on the island. Instead, he looked around and laughed."It seems that it hasn't arrived yet. Everyone, don't worry. Old Qin, move this thing a little further away. There's no need to listen to the sound. Just look at the momentum."
Qin Fengqing did not waste any time and quickly left with the machine.
After Qin Fengqing had left, Fang ping looked around and smiled."Since you're here, what's there to hide? "If I'm a rank-9, I can do whatever I want in the world. Why do I have to be like a thief, hiding and not daring to see anyone?
"My head is worth a lot of money. When I heard that there was a reward from the catacombs, I wanted to cut off my own head and send it over!"
No one spoke. At this moment, the divine weapons in the hands of Nanyun ping and the others appeared, surrounding Fang ping.
In the distance, Qin Fengqing shouted,"I'm only in charge of filming, don't look for me!" "I've just entered rank-7. I'm so far away from Fang ping. It's not worth it to kill me. I'll be exposed in a short while. Please don't do anything to me ...
"If he comes, kill Fang ping first. It's not easy for me to cultivate to rank-7 ..."
Li Hansong could not help but curse,"F * ck, this is a live broadcast!" Have some shame!"
"Don't curse!"
Qin Fengqing immediately retorted,"am I wrong?" "It's very dangerous. You guys are together, and I'm here alone ... Forget it, I'm not filming anymore. Fang ping, I'll go to your place ..."
Fang ping laughed."Stay away from me. You're weak. I told you not to come, but you insisted on coming. Are you afraid of death now?"
"Of course, if I didn't come ... Wouldn't that make me look like a coward?"
Qin Fengqing suddenly said,"I forgot to turn off the sound. If I turn it off, no one will hear what I said!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the device in his hand suddenly exploded!
Qin Fengqing let out a muffled grunt and roared,""F * ck, you really want to F * ck me? are you an idiot?"
"Trash!"
In the void, a cold snort came. The person didn't attack him at all. He only exploded the instrument first.
Without another word, Qin Fengqing quickly ran into the distance. As he ran, he cursed, "I'm just here to join in the fun. It's not worth it to kill me. Don't come to me!"
No one was talking to him.
The moment he ran, a great battle broke out!
In the void, three figures shot over at the fastest speed.
Before they even arrived, three powerful mental forces exploded!
"Hmph!"
"Hmph!" Nanyun ping snorted coldly. The heaven and earth energy interweaved, and the others brandished their divine weapons one after another, attacking the void of mental energy.
Yao Chengjun thrust his spear forward and was sent flying back a few steps, but it also tore apart a small part of his spiritual power.
"Only three?"
"That's too little!"Fang ping suddenly laughed.
As soon as he said this, two powerful pressures suddenly exploded in the distance. With a loud explosion, the sea exploded and the void rumbled.
"It's you! Zarikaluo, you didn't die!"
"Hahaha! Beigong Yan, you have a good memory. I've been dead for ten years, and you still remember my aura!"
"Boom ..."
The conversation disappeared along with the roar. 10 miles away, two powerful auras rose up and instantly fought.
On this side, Nanyun ping and the others didn't have the time to care about this. Nanyun ping shouted in a low voice,""Jumping clowns, let me see who you are!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Nanyun ping, Wang Qinghai, Liu polu, and Chen yaoting instantly charged toward the black-robed martial artist who was rushing over from the left.
"I'm not your opponent!"The black-robed martial artist said indifferently.
With that, the black-robed martial artist's speed increased rapidly. Nanyun ping and the others were just about to chase after him when the short-haired and masked martial artist's voice rang out,""I'll play with you guys!"
BOOM!
Bang! Bang!
The sound of energy exploding could be heard almost instantly. The island below them began to collapse.
Not far away, the black-robed martial artist was charging toward Fang ping and the others at top speed.
They were just a bunch of rank-7 martial artists. Did they really think they could stop him?
"Moreover, there's someone else taking care of these rank-7 martial artists.
On the right, a slender masked martial artist had already appeared in front of everyone in a flash. However, he did not look at Huang Jing and the others. Instead, his gaze instantly fell on the few middle-ranked martial artists at the periphery. He sighed softly and said,"I see!"
Before he could finish his sentence, a few middle-ranked martial artists who were standing at the periphery of the crowd instantly burst out with a powerful golden light. Divine weapons appeared and instantly charged at the ninth elder.
"Sixth brother, you can deal with these small fries yourself!"
The ninth elder laughed. He had already fought with five rank-8 powerhouses. As soon as they started fighting, he laughed and said,""Five early-stage rank-8 martial artists ... That's not enough!"
"Kill!"
These five people ignored him and instantly formed a formation. Their golden bodies flickered and surrounded the ninth elder from all directions.
The black-robed martial artist had already arrived. He laughed loudly and said,""The same, it's still not enough!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a pitch-black long saber materialized out of thin air and attacked Fang ping, who was surrounded by Lu fengrou and the others.
Lu fengrou and the others were just about to fight when Fang ping shouted,"Go and help those people. Leave this guy to me!"
Even though li Hansong and the others were in a difficult position, they did not hold back. They retreated one after another and charged towards the ninth elder.
Five early-stage rank-8 martial artists against a rank-9. The risk was still very high.
It would be much easier for them to kill each other.
"Eh?"
The black-robed martial artist was slightly surprised. He left?
This guy was underestimating him too much!
Fang ping ignored him. In the next moment, he fled straight into the distant sea!
Once again, the black-robed martial artist looked strange ...'Are you trying to lure me away?'
There was an ambush ahead?
