CHAPTER 190: 189. THE LOWER REALM IS INVINCIBLE IN BATTLE AGAINST THE MIDDLE REALM (2/4)

As the words fell.

Wen Ping sidestepped to avoid Wei Qianjue’s chopping strike and then casually dispersed the half-man-high tornado-like hurricane passing by. As he turned around, Wen Ping instinctively lifted his leg and kicked towards Wei Qianjue.

Wei Qianjue blocked with his hand and retreated a few steps. Once he steadied himself, he didn’t immediately counterattack.

His gaze fixated on Wen Ping’s left hand, with a trace of astonishment on his face, "Meridian Gate—you’re actually in the Profound Realm!"

He couldn’t believe that the person appearing no more than seventeen or eighteen years old was actually at the Profound Realm! It’s known that the youngest Profound Realm in East Lake was after 25 years old. And that was already a rare genius in East Lake once in a thousand years.

Wen Ping had advanced so many years ahead. He had never heard of someone so young in the Profound Realm like Wen Ping.

If it was just that, he would only be surprised and wouldn’t stop to take a closer look. After all, his blade never stopped before once it was unsheathed, but today it did.

Because what he saw was a crimson Meridian Gate.

Reaching the Profound Middle Realm at such a young age was already shocking, and to think it was also an Anomalous Vein.

He finally understood why Wen Ping dared to speak so audaciously to him with an intent to kill—it wasn’t just the ignorant pride of youth but this mutated Meridian Gate; this was the source of all his confidence.

A heart that cherishes talent began to rise!

Wei Qianjue spoke in a tone of admiration: "Wen Ping, you truly surprise me. How about joining my Thousand Extremes Sect, becoming a tributor of the sect? Our sect will ensure your future is without worries, and we’ll take care of all the enemies who have taken bounties to kill you."

Wen Ping asked, "You don’t want to kill me anymore?"

Wei Qianjue immediately responded, "Wen Ping, you and I have no past grievances or animosity, there’s no need to make a fuss over such a small matter. I just took a bounty to kill you, which I can abandon at any time."

"Hmph."

Wen Ping let out a cold laugh.

Then he said, "Now that we’re talking about it, there’s no point. Leave an arm first, and then we can talk about other things."

Bang!

The sound of vibrating veins echoed.

Seeing this, Wei Qianjue understood; his words hadn’t changed Wen Ping’s decision, and Wen Ping was determined to fight him. Wei Qianjue raised his sword again and said, "Since you’re so stubborn, then forget it."

Killing an Anomalous Profound is a pity, but what does it matter to him? What isn’t his, even if it’s gone, he never cares.

However, after killing Wen Ping, he must find Shan Long to demand an additional bounty—50 White Crystals for killing an Anomalous Profound is too cheap. An Anomalous Profound isn’t like cabbage that can be dealt with just with a little White Crystal.

As the words fell, the sound of vibrating veins echoed once again.

Bang—

A crisp sound sliced through the sky, like thunder out of nowhere.

In the next moment, Wei Qianjue’s sword swung at Wen Ping once more, as fast as a sudden leap, and in the blink of an eye, it was in front of Wen Ping. Simultaneously, several tornado-like hurricanes followed his sword.

Before the sword reached him, a few tornado-like hurricanes formed by Sword Aura arrived in front of Wen Ping first.

Wen Ping immediately released a surge of Vein Qi, using it as a pure impact attack to burst through the tornado-like hurricanes formed by Sword Aura. Although they were shattered, their momentum did not decrease.

They resembled wild oxen, changing direction and charging into the forest, forcibly clearing a new path through it. In just a couple of breaths, an old tree with gnarled roots that had grown for a hundred years in the forest was shredded by them.

Right at that moment, Wei Qianjue’s sword arrived!

The sword came directly at Wen Ping’s shoulder with such speed that, although Wen Ping had time to react, the blade passed past the Immortal Clear Wind Robe.

He was sure that if he had been a bit slower, Wei Qianjue’s sword would have definitely struck his shoulder.

After dodging the first strike, the second and third slashes from Wei Qianjue quickly followed, obviously with more force than the previous one.

Wei Qianjue kindly reminded Wen Ping, "Wen Ping, my Hurricane Slash is a yellow level middle-grade Vein Technique at the Perfection Realm. You’re in the Lower Profound Realm, but your cultivation is too short; I advise you to just give up resisting."

After the reminder, the smile on Wei Qianjue’s lips deepened.

He executed a total of ten slashes!

Each slash forced Wen Ping to take a step back with overwhelming advantage.

After ten slashes, Wen Ping had retreated ten steps.

But as Wei Qianjue focused on Wen Ping, his smile slowly faded because Wen Ping stood unharmed. There was no panicked demeanor, nor was he flustered.

This was his first time encountering such a situation against a Lower Profound Realm.

One realm, one Celestial Abyss.

A Middle Profound Realm can completely suppress a Lower Profound Realm.

But with Wen Ping, this saying was utterly useless.

In the next moment, Wen Ping’s voice came.

"Wei Qianjue, if you want to kill me, you’d better bring out your best; otherwise, you don’t even have the qualification to touch me."

"Arrogant!"

Wei Qianjue shouted angrily.

Bang!

Following the vein vibration, the force and fall of the sword in his hand suddenly doubled. What was initially one sword with two or three Sword Aura hurricanes became an explosion of Sword Aura, like fireworks lighting up the sky.

Countless Sword Auras followed Wei Qianjue, and within a ten-meter radius, everything was cut to pieces.

The oppressive force was undeniably the invincible might of a Middle Profound Realm!

Seeing this, Wen Ping no longer displayed his body technique but instead vibrated his veins right away and unleashed the Fire Dragon Skill.

Red Vein Qi entered the Meridian Gate from the heavens and earth, immediately condensing behind Wen Ping into a fire dragon over three meters long.

Compared to the Fire Dragon released at the Body Refining Realm, it was three times larger. At the same time, it possessed more charm.

Before, the Fire Dragon seemed like it had no eyes; although it had the temperature to burn everything, it lacked the overwhelming aura. Now, the Fire Dragon seemed to have been given sight, agile and possessing the dignity of a dragon.

The Fire Dragon opened its mouth, revealing its flaming dragon maw.

Wen Ping said, "Wei Qianjue, try my technique; how about it?"

As the words fell, Wen Ping immediately willed it with his heart.

The Fire Dragon, nearly ten meters long, soared into the sky, then pounced at Wei Qianjue coming towards him.

Wei Qianjue watched this scene, with a smile reappearing at the corners of his mouth, but he didn’t stop, charging directly towards Wen Ping with immense force.

But at the moment of contact with the Fire Dragon, the Sword Aura, akin to a pebble falling into a deep pool, stirred only a slight ripple without any major commotion.

After feeling astonished, he immediately ceased his move and stood firm, raising his sword again, responding: "You had the Fire Snake Technique before, and now there’s a Fire Dragon. Wen Ping, you’re indeed impressive, truly the youngest Profound Realm in East Lake."

This sentence, Wei Qianjue genuinely admired Wen Ping.

To him, having an opponent was a form of happiness.

Defeating the opponent and taking away everything that belonged to him was even more of an honor.

Bang—

A deep sound of vibrating veins echoed.

Wei Qianjue’s sword was raised again, but this time, it was different from the previous times.

One slash!

Only a single Sword Aura flew out.

But this lone Sword Aura stretched three meters, a fierce sun-like radiance against the Fire Dragon.

Wei Qianjue said, "Unfortunately, you’re still too young. The path of cultivation; speed is good, but also bad. Yellow level middle-grade Vein Technique, cultivated to Perfection Realm, makes an Abnormal Vein Skill like an ant in comparison."

As the words fell.

The Fire Dragon and Sword Aura collided.

Boom!

A loud explosion was heard.

The Fire Dragon was split open, dispersing like clouds, turning the mountainside of Yunlan Mountain into a sea of fire.

But the Sword Aura still remained!

The clash of skills ultimately left the Entry Level Fire Dragon Skill at a disadvantage.
