Inside their special magical artifacts, Jin was pacing anxiously. He was utterly indifferent to the fact that Zhi Ping was a traitor, and if his secret was exposed, he would be finished.
Where is the master? Why hasn't he appeared yet?
Xiao Jin felt like she was about to burst into tears, completely misled by the TV series.
Wang Ping exclaimed, "You're mine now."
Little Jin felt an itch in its chrysanthemum, and seeing Wang Ping's somewhat perverted gaze, it was afraid. However, Wang Ping couldn't care less about anything else. The effect of this magic artifact only lasted for a quarter of an hour. Although Bai Feng and the Tiger King were injured by his life-saving attack talisman, even though the injuries were not minor, they could not be rendered immobile.
Time is like opportunity; once missed, it's gone!
"Set up the formation".
Wang Ping even knew how to set up formations. He took out a black patterned disc, filled with a dozen or so crystals, but it wasn't full yet. There were eighty-one inlay grooves, four layers deep. Wang Ping only filled the outermost layer. Then, with a flick of his wrist, he tossed it out.
Array weapon!
If Zhang Guodong were here, he would definitely be drooling. He already had a considerable understanding of the power of formations. Formations can trap and kill people, but they can also protect them; their uses are immense. However, setting up a formation requires a formation diagram, but formation diagrams are generally very complex. Even the simplest formation takes time—a day, two or three days, or even longer.
Setting up the formation requires a lot of effort; if one move is wrong, the formation will become ineffective.
Besides comprehending the "Laws of Life," Zhang Guodong spends a significant amount of time studying formations. To this end, he has purchased a large number of formation manuals—essentially books—buying them with crystals wherever possible. He even acquired numerous low-level formation diagrams from Wu Xing, a "formation fanatic," and has a good relationship with Liu Meigui and others. These include trapping formations, illusion formations, and the Five Elements formation (metal, wood, water, fire, earth).
However, these array diagrams are all low-level arrays. They can only be used by those with low cultivation levels or who do not understand arrays. For example, cultivators below level 40 can spend some time guessing the location of the array's core and forcefully break it. Once the cultivation level is too high, the opponent can directly destroy the array. What can be done? Under the power of superior strength, all arrays are extremely fragile.
Of course, this does not negate the role of the formation.
In particular, they were able to refine "array tools," which greatly improved the efficiency of array formation. As long as there was a sufficient supply of crystals, low-level, mid-level, and high-level arrays could be set up in the blink of an eye.
It can obstruct or kill people; its methods are endlessly ingenious.
Wang Ping's array artifact has four layers, inside and out. It is inlaid with eighty-one crystal positions, and the array patterns on it are extremely complex. Moreover, only a dozen or so low-grade crystals have been inlaid to fill the outermost layer, and most of the positions are still empty, which shows that this array artifact is extraordinary.
It might be a mid-level array artifact or array plate.
The array plate was thrown out, but the surrounding scenery underwent subtle changes. All the fluctuations of life force and magical power were intercepted by the array.
Wang Ping smiled sinisterly and stepped inside without hesitation.
"With the array artifacts my father gave me, this trapping artifact can be broken in the blink of an eye. You little demon beast won't be able to escape either!"
Even Xiao Jin sensed something was wrong.
Wang Ping patted his storage bag, revealing a sword-shaped magical artifact in his hand. He then unleashed a powerful swing. The artifact that bound the person collided with the attack, shattering with a loud "plop."
Although this low-level magic weapon has special effects, it cannot withstand 80% of the attack of a mid-level magic weapon, especially since the mid-level magic weapon is in the hands of Wang Ping, a level 40 cultivator.
With a crackling sound, the fragments of the magical artifact scattered, and Xiao Jin immediately broke free and hurriedly fled the place.
But Wang Ping was not in a hurry at all. Little Jin bumped into something and bounced back... "Little monster, submit obediently, or I will kill you! What I can't have, no one else can have!" Wang Ping's killing intent was revealed, and he held a rope in his hand.
This is the Spirit Serpent Rope, which has the effect of binding people. It has the same function as the ancient "Immortal Binding Rope," but its power is incomparable.
Xiao Jin panicked immediately, but couldn't find a way out.
Just then, Wang Ping made a move.
"go!"
The serpentine rope transformed into a streak of light, instantly binding Little Gold tightly. Little Gold panicked and struggled. But suddenly, its body tightened, and most of its demonic energy became unusable! It was imprisoned!
Wang Ping laughed heartily: "Don't waste your energy. Don't be fooled by the small size of this Spirit Serpent Rope. It's a genuine mid-level magic weapon. With your strength, you simply can't break free!"
"I, your humble servant, will never be the same again! I will never be the same again!" Little Jin's body instantly shrunk to the size of a kitten. But the serpentine rope also shrank to the size of a maggot's talons. "We're doomed."
Xiao Jin was really scared at this point.
"My life is so miserable. Once this guy finds out that I've signed a contract, I'll definitely be killed immediately."
Wang Ping stepped forward, lifted the Spirit Serpent Rope, and burst into laughter. Then, with a wave of his hand, the array disappeared, and the array coil was in his hand, which he then put into his storage bag.
It was very quiet outside. Only a minute had passed. Wang Ping carefully surveyed his surroundings, then chose a direction and sped away.
After speeding for about several dozen miles, Wang Ping finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Even if you're a near-master level cultivator, you won't recover quickly from the 'Phantom Blade Puppet's' attack!"
This injury won't heal. Given Bai Feng and Tiger King's suspicious nature, they certainly won't rush forward rashly. This makes things easy for him!
"However, although Wei Qiwen won't directly make things difficult for me out of respect for my father, this is the first demonic beast from the outside world. The temptation is immense, and there's no guarantee he won't attack from the shadows. I should be cautious." Wang Ping suddenly remembered someone, and his heart tightened, reminding himself...
Looking at the little goldfish that nibbled like a kitten, Wang Pingyue grew even more fond of it. Even if he gave it to his own father, it would be a great achievement.
"Yes, we need to find a place to sign the contract first."
Wang Ping was a very cautious man. He traveled westward, changing direction many times, and even stopping to hide and observe whether anyone was following him. He used all sorts of techniques, including earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of escape technique) and water-行 (water-行 is a type of escape technique).
Hundreds of kilometers!
In a pile of earth and rocks, a small stone shifted slightly, revealing a pair of eyes. This was Wang Ping.
After half a day of no movement outside, Wang Ping cautiously came out.
"Wei Qiwen really gave up; he's very pragmatic!" Wang Ping thought to himself. Looking around, he found no cave or similar place.
Helpless, Wang Ping decided to stay underground and leave after making the contract.
He turned around as if to use earth magic, but suddenly a person appeared behind him out of thin air.
"Not good!" Wang Ping sensed a life-or-death crisis looming behind him. His expression immediately changed.
But any movement would be superfluous; at such close range, there's no way to dodge.
But then a hand suddenly landed on his shoulder.
Wang Ping was shocked and, without thinking, pushed Xiao Jin back, saying, "The demon beast is yours."
If it were any other cultivator, the mere mention of a demonic beast would surely cause them to hesitate and pause, and that was precisely the time Wang Ping needed. It would allow him to dodge.
As he wished, the other party did indeed remove the hand from his shoulder, the Grim Reaper's hand that was only an inch from his neck.
"Phantom Blade Puppet!" Wang Ping didn't turn around, but quickly turned to the side, a yellow talisman appearing in his hand at the same time. This was his second life-saving talisman, and also his last! He felt a pang of regret, but he had no choice at the moment.
"Certainly!"
A jaw-dropping scene unfolded! Wang Ping and the yellow talisman froze in an instant, as if the space itself had stopped.
The talisman suddenly felt light in my hand; it was gone. The person had thrown it far away.
Then, leaving Wang Ping utterly terrified, the man's next move was to punch him, sending him flying. Even his intermediate-level defensive magic weapon shattered. The remaining force, like blades, seeped into his body, breaking bones and flesh, leaving him severely injured in one blow!
At the same time, the immobilization effect wore off, and everything returned to normal.
"Bang!" Wang Ping landed on the ground, spraying countless pieces of blood and flesh.
"Boom!"
A phantom appeared, and a terrifying blade of energy slashed from afar. This phantom even knew the enemy's location! It possessed a certain level of intelligence, but its existence was very brief. Moreover, the attack range was quite far, leaving only a huge, deep groove in the ground, stretching for over ten meters.
He was only a few meters away from Wang Ping... What a close call! The man had been sweating profusely, but now he breathed a sigh of relief. Then he flew into a rage! He sprang forward and unleashed several heavy blows on Wang Ping. The critically injured Wang Ping couldn't dodge, and even in his dying moments, he didn't understand why he had suffered such torment. [The rest of the text appears to be nonsensical and unrelated.]
They stripped Wang Ping of all his belongings, including his storage bag, but unfortunately...
"Damn, if this weren't the world of mountains and rivers, this guy would have really stabbed himself!" This person was naturally Zhang Guodong, who had tracked Wang Ping all the way here.
However, his greatest weapon was the power of his divine sense. Wang Ping used earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a technique for escaping into the ground) to hide from Zhang Guodong even several meters underground. Zhang Guodong was still arrogant and thought that even if someone was following him, he should have shaken them off.
He calmly stopped beside the pile of earth and stones, concealing his aura. He had entered the Peach Blossom Spring for temporary refuge when Wang Ping emerged, silently counting down the seconds before suddenly appearing and attacking. Once he could move Wang Ping into the Mountain and River World, this place would be his domain!
Thankfully, it all worked!
"Roar! Howl! Boom!" Several enormous sounds rang out as Big Black and the others surged forward, their sizes several times larger than before. They resembled colossal beasts! However, upon reaching Zhang Guodong, they gradually shrunk back to their normal size!
"Waaah, Master, I miss you so much!" Little Gold, who was standing to the side, immediately became anxious and pretended to cry pitifully before finally making a sound.
Big Black and the others are here. If they don't make a sound soon, there won't be any left of this cultivator's flesh and blood! Judging from their greedy looks, they'll probably devour it all in an instant if their master gives the order!
Zhang Guodong shuddered and kicked the thing far away. Without its master, the spirit snake rope immediately released Shan Jin. Zhang Guodong's eyes lit up, and with a wave of his hand, the spirit snake rope was in his grasp.
"This is good stuff!"
It's actually a mid-level magic artifact! If it's used to bind people in the future, they'll be absolutely helpless against it.
"Shut up, all of you! Erhei and Erqing are taking the lion's share this time. Anyone who dares to disobey will be out of luck!" Zhang Guodong said sternly as he put the spirit snake rope into his storage bag.
Zhang Guodong is nothing short of a butcher! He uses the flesh and blood of cultivators as food for his beasts, causing them to evolve at breakneck speed. If the cultivation world knew that Zhang Guodong was feeding demonic beasts and quasi-demonic beasts with the flesh and blood of cultivators, Xuan Qinghui would probably turn around and kill him!
