After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 251 - 216: I Never Asked Him to Save Me (Part 2)
Chapter 251: Chapter 216: I Never Asked Him to Save Me (Part 2)
A powerful force surged, pushing the surrounding people away.
Seeing this, Nanyun Dong was somewhat surprised: "Junior Brother’s perception abilities are indeed decent."
He had not sensed this, facing these birds made him dare not relax.
The response had been subconscious upon hearing of the ambush.
At this time, Luu Ping at the forefront broke through, the sword light sweeping toward the back.
The surrounding Demon Beasts continually dispersed.
"Let’s go," he said calmly.
At this moment, Zhuge Jing was clearing the path ahead.
Gu An was in the middle, two were forging ahead and two were covering the rear.
After a long while, they approached a large river.
Thus, the vultures no longer approached, and the underground plants fell silent.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, yet the river ahead was turbulent and surging.
Crossing it would not be easy.
Luu Ping casually took out a Spirit Sword, then controlled the sword to fly.
But as soon as his controlled sword flew high into the sky.
A terrifying Sword Intent struck from above.
Bang!
The Spirit Sword shattered instantly.
"Controlling the sword to get across is a bit difficult," Zhuge Jing sighed.
"It’s not just difficult to control the sword across." Luu Ping activated a talisman, attacking forward, only to find the power quickly fading as it neared the river.
Everyone looked a bit astonished.
The power gets suppressed when nearing the river water?
How could they cross the river?
Once reaching the middle of the river, if the power completely failed, wouldn’t they lose the chance to flee back?
Gu An estimated, the river was thirty zhang wide.
Normally, he could leap across it.
But high places couldn’t be touched.
Close to the water surface, the power would be suppressed and dissolve.
There was actually a way.
With such a height, a single palm strike could send people flying across.
It wasn’t difficult.
It was just uncertain if other situations would arise midway.
"Let’s follow the river upstream first," Luu Ping said.
The others had no objections and walked upwards.
"Junior Brother, keep a close watch on our surroundings," Zhuge Jing instructed and looked towards Nan Xueyan: "Junior Sister Nan, observe carefully too."
Nan Xueyan nodded seriously.
"Golden Core Early Stage, not entirely useless," Nan Xueyan told Gu An.
"Still causing trouble for Senior Brother and Senior Sister," Gu An respectfully bowed.
He hadn’t been doing much throughout.
It was almost always the others who took action to resolve the surrounding demon creatures.
It truly was bothering them.
If it were just him alone.
He could sweep through using Qi Sea Sky Gang.
These demon creatures wouldn’t even be able to get close to him.
Standing and letting them hit wouldn’t be an issue.
But facing this river, he indeed couldn’t be careless.
However, shortly after they went upstream, they saw a man running towards them in a panic.
Seeing Gu An and others, he was ecstatic: "Senior Brothers and Sisters, save me."
"That’s a person from Spirit Controlling Peak," Zhuge Jing spoke.
"Let’s have a look," Luu Ping said.
They quickly reached the man.
He seemed to be only in his twenties, but he possessed Golden Core Late Stage cultivation.
"What happened?" asked Zhuge Jing.
"One of our Junior Sisters was swept away by a Demon Beast in the river," said the man anxiously, leading the way.
Soon, they arrived at an upper stream platform.
At this moment, in the middle of the river, there was a large tree.
A Ancient Sword was stuck beneath the tree, seemingly sealing a Sword Spirit inside.
And under the tree, a beautiful young woman was gripping the roots.
But the waves were beating against her, about to swallow her.
The situation was extremely urgent, especially since in the river, any power was difficult to utilize.
Seeing this, Luu Ping furrowed his brows. freeweɓnøvel.com
"Don’t panic, I’ll try to save her."
Saying this, his body burst out with power, spreading lively force around him.
Then several Spirit Swords appeared, rushing forward.
Luu Ping leaped out, stepping one foot at a time.
As the sword fell, a powerful Sword Light soared into the sky.
The sword tips directly entered the river water.
After a moment, much power in Luu Ping’s body was scattered.
But he successfully arrived under the tree.
Just as he had gotten there, suddenly the tree launched an attack.
Clang!
The vines attacked.
If not for blocking it in time, Luu Ping would have been seriously injured.
He didn’t hesitate, grabbing the person and quickly leaving the big tree.
At that moment, the Spirit Swords he had stepped on erupted with their last breath under the water, giving Luu Ping the force to escape.
Finally, when Luu Ping’s power was almost completely dispersed, he brought the person back to the shore.
At this moment, Zhuge Jing finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Immediately, she questioned the man leading the way: "Approaching the tree will lead to an attack, why didn’t you say anything earlier?"
"You didn’t give me a chance to speak." The man replied with a slight grievance.
Zhuge Jing frowned.
For a moment, she did not know what to say.
Gu An watched all this, thinking that Senior Brother Luu Ping really was a good person.
At this moment, his strength was greatly depleted.
It seemed it would delay their forthcoming journey.
Moreover...
He looked at the woman who was rescued, not seeing any gratification of surviving a disaster in her eyes.
She was still staring at that tree...
And the Ancient Sword beneath it.
Gu An looked over and noticed that the Ancient Sword was emitting a faint light, and suddenly, the river around it calmed down.
In an instant, he saw a figure fly out.
It was that woman.
At the moment everyone relaxed and was about to say something, she brightly and with the help of an umbrella Magic Treasure, dashed towards it.
Gu An saw her smoothly approach the Ancient Sword, then she reached out and pulled out the Ancient Sword.
In the next moment, vines attacked and waves surged.
Bang!
She took the Ancient Sword and grabbed onto the tree roots again.
Everyone watching was stunned.
The young man who led the way earlier kneeled directly in front of Luu Ping and pleaded, "Senior brothers and sisters, please save Junior Sister Li again.
She must have just been mentally impacted.
Senior brother, we are from the same Sect, you cannot just watch her die, she’s still so young."
The young man kneeled in front of Luu Ping, begging earnestly.
Luu Ping remained silent for a long time.
Zhuge Jing frowned: "Senior brother, it’s too dangerous."
Seeing Junior Sister Li struggling, Luu Ping seemed to think of something, his expression slightly painful, and he finally sighed:
"I’ll be right back, Junior Sister Nan, cover me later."
As his words fell, Luu Ping approached the tree using the same method as before.
He also took an Elixir Pill to forcibly recover his strength.
Gu An could not understand but knew it was more likely for Senior Brother Luu to face dangers during this attempt.
Luckily, when he went there, all went smoothly, though only a tenth of his Qi remained.
He blocked the vine attack.
And successfully rescued her.
Seeing this, Nan Xueyan swung out her long whip, instantly extending it towards Luu Ping.
Suddenly, a surging wind forced them to take a few steps back.
However, the still energetic Junior Sister Li, without hesitation, broke free from Senior Brother Luu, using his body as a push force to get close to the whip, grabbing onto it.
She was then pulled back effortlessly.
Luu Ping wobbled and once again faced the pursuit of the vines.
At this time, his strength was almost completely exhausted.
Unable to dodge in time.
Trouble.
At the critical moment, nine red beans appeared beside him.
Instantly, nine Red Armor Soldiers appeared.
Pfft!
The vines pierced through five Red Armor Soldiers, and the remaining four pushed Luu Ping away.
As the whip came back again, Luu Ping caught it and turned to grab a Red Armor Soldier.
But the nine Red Armor Soldiers had already been killed by the vines, and by the time he turned back, they had all turned back into shattered red beans.
Thus, he managed to leave the area.
Gu An felt a sense of regret.
The nine red beans were wasted.
It was a bit of a pity.
However...
He turned his head to look at everyone present.
"What are you doing?" Zhuge Jing glared at Junior Sister Li and angrily scolded: "Senior Brother risked his life to save you, and you almost got him killed."
"I didn’t ask him to save me." Junior Sister Li responded.
"You." Zhuge Jing was furious with the person in front of her.
But she left the last sentence unsaid.
"It was your own decision, and it’s not my fault that you encountered danger," Junior Sister Li said, looking at Luu Ping and the others.
Gu An lowered his eyes.
He remembered being told that once inside, the Life and Death Sect would be indifferent.
Did the Senior Brothers and Sisters forget?
Or maybe there were too many people.
That’s also a possibility.
Too many people indeed make it difficult.
Boom!
Suddenly, the tree trunk began to extend, connecting both banks.
"Let’s go over first," Luu Ping said.
At last, he looked at Gu An and said, "Thank you, Junior Brother."
Gu An shook his head: "Senior Brother, you are too polite."
At that moment, Junior Sister Li snorted coldly and crossed the tree bridge first.
She also had a cultivation at the Golden Core Perfection stage and possessed quite a few Magic Treasures.
Gu An curiously asked, "What’s this Junior Sister’s name?"
"Li Yue," Nan Xueyan uttered through gritted teeth.
Upon hearing this, Gu An was stunned.
Was it such a coincidence?
One of the people Zuo Youyan wanted to kill was named Li Yue.
