"Look quickly, someone’s coming."
Within the loose cultivators, a Seventh Rank Expert immediately whispered a warning.
All eyes turned to look in the direction of the newcomers.
"It seems like they’re from Demon Cloud Heaven and Mysterious Jade Heaven. I recognize the two leading them, one is Yu Xiuyan, the other is Yan Wu, both are prominent figures from the Heaven Beyond Heavens," Fu Xing said.
Everyone was somewhat surprised. Prominent figures from the two major forces?
What were they doing here?
"Why don’t we see Brother Xu?" someone asked, puzzled.
Others looked around but didn’t spot Xu Ping’an.
Gu Lingyan also looked but couldn’t find Xu Ping’an either, which puzzled her.
However, she still followed Xu Ping’an’s instructions, took out the inkdrop, and poured True Yuan into it.
As True Yuan was infused, the inkdrop instantly changed, transforming into a person.
That person was none other than ’Xu Ping’an’.
’Xu Ping’an’ didn’t waste any words, and as he appeared, he dashed towards the cave under the puzzled gazes of everyone.
At the same time, ’Dong Qiang,’ who was leading the way, suddenly sensed something and his eyes lit up immediately.
Pointing at the cave ahead, he said to Yu Xiuyan, "Your Highness, those guys are inside the cave."
"In the cave? This cave does seem quite hidden, and there appear to be footprints all around, but..." Yan Wu said, surveying the surroundings.
Before Yu Xiuyan could respond,
"Swoosh!"
A white figure flashed by at high speed, instantly flying into the cave.
"Xu Ping’an!" Yan Wu was the first to recognize the person and shouted immediately.
At this, everyone was startled.
So he was actually in this cave.
Yu Xiuyan’s eyes also brightened.
"This is bad, Your Highness, they’ve noticed us. There’s another exit to this cave, they’re trying to escape," Xu Ping’an immediately cried out.
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiuyan’s expression changed at once.
"Follow me, kill them all, leave none alive except for Xu Ping’an. Don’t let them get away," Yu Xiuyan commanded decisively.
No sooner had he spoken than he charged into the cave.
With Yu Xiuyan leading, the disciples of Demon Cloud Heaven followed suit, and Yan Wu, without hesitation, led the disciples of Mysterious Jade Heaven in pursuit.
Soon, only ’Dong Qiang’ was left outside the cave.
"Still too green! Fooled so easily? And here I thought I’d have to talk my way out of this," Xu Ping’an said, laughing to himself.
With a gesture, his hand suddenly held a full twenty Xuan Tian Leizi.
Yet Xu Ping’an didn’t immediately throw the Xuan Tian Leizi inside. Instead, he silently waited.
"Huh, why is this cave so deep?"
"Where are they? We clearly saw someone enter, so why can’t we find them now?"
"Not a single person here, damn it, we’ve been tricked."
"Where’s Dong Qiang? Son of a bitch, there’s no other exit at all, this cave’s like a maze, made me wander it for ages."
"It seems Dong Qiang didn’t come inside, did that guy run away?"
...
A string of cursing came from inside the cave.
Now back in his original appearance, Xu Ping’an’s face broke into a brilliant smile upon hearing these words.
"Your Highness, I’m outside the cave, be careful when you kill, leave a way out for my sweetheart," Xu Ping’an shouted towards the cave.
"Go to hell, there’s no one here, Dong Qiang, did you get fooled?" Jiang Feng’s angry voice immediately came from inside.
"No, I’m sure they are in there, keep looking!" Xu Ping’an continued to shout.
"Damn it, I’ve searched eight hundred times, not even a fart, Dong Qiang, if you’re messing with us, wait till I get out, I’ll flay you alive," the angry cursing voice resounded once more from within.
Upon hearing this, the smile on Xu Ping’an’s face grew even wider.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Wu An, Gu Lingyan, and the others flew over and heard this conversation, all with faces of astonishment.
What the fuck, what kind of move is this?
So Xu Ping’an had them dig caves just to catch these people?
Haha, it looks pretty fun watching them scurry around in there.
Xu Ping’an didn’t mind the Loose Cultivators and others who had appeared, and hearing footsteps coming from inside the cave, he knew these guys were about to come out.
He immediately shouted, "Your Highness, I found some good stuff, I’ll throw it to you right now."
After that, he threw all twenty Black Heaven Thunder Beads into the cave.
Seeing this scene, the Loose Cultivators behind him were shocked.
Holy shit!
Twenty Black Heaven Thunder Beads.
One of these damned beads could blow up a Seventh Rank Peak Demon Beast, even an Eighth Rank Demon Beast would be seriously injured.
Xu Ping’an actually threw out twenty all at once?
Then the people inside –?
"Xu Big Brother is awesome, I threw two in the Golden Demon Lion’s cave, and it blew up at least twelve Seventh Rank Demon Lions in a row, wouldn’t twenty blow them up so their own mothers wouldn’t recognize them?" a Seventh Rank female cultivator said in shock.
Gu Lingyan was also stunned.
So this is how you use Black Heaven Thunder Beads?
She had given Xu Ping’an twenty Black Heaven Thunder Beads before, and they were all used up. These twenty were what she had given him later.
She didn’t expect Xu Ping’an to throw them all out at once.
"Stop gawking, run for it." Xu Ping’an looked back and saw all the Loose Cultivators dumbfounded, and immediately yelled.
Only then did everyone react and immediately fled.
"Boom!"
Just as everyone had not run far, a terrifying explosion sounded from behind them in the cave.
A mountain over a kilometer tall exploded in an instant amidst this terrifying noise.
The ground for a radius of five hundred meters also instantly flipped over as if lifted up more than a meter high.
The ground burst open, the earth caved in, the mountain collapsed, and rocks fell.
"No..."
From the depths of the cave, one could still hear the horrifying screams.
At this moment, everyone was stunned, their scalps tingling.
Seeing the collapsing mountain in front of them left them completely dumbfounded.
Holy shit!
This scene?
They had never seen anything like it in their lives.
Even the worldly Gu Lingyan stood there dumbfounded.
Was this the big score that Xu Ping’an talked about?
Killing twenty-four people at once?
"Are they still alive?" a Loose Cultivator couldn’t help but ask.
Everyone looked at him, their expressions identical, as if to say, "What do you think?"
"Not necessarily, the others are probably dead, but Yu Xiuyan and Yan Wu might not be." Xu Ping’an replied.
Everyone couldn’t help but glance at Xu Ping’an, only to find that he remained unflustered, his face even showing a hint of a smile.
Instantly, everyone shivered uncontrollably.
This guy was definitely not to be messed with, too terrifying.
This guy was definitely a ruthless character, offending him was probably scarier than offending those big powers.
Even if those two might not be dead.
Twenty-two experts.
All blown up, too terrifying.
And you can still smile so calmly?
