Chapter 1354 - 1354 Chapter 1349-keep a low profile1354 Chapter 1349-keep a low profile
In the catacombs.
As soon as Fang ping and the other two came out, the catacombs acted as if they were facing a great enemy!
In the area of Mount Yuhai, he could vaguely sense the aura of a broken eight. However, he did not reveal himself. The aura was weak, and he did not know which broken eight was monitoring Fang ping.
Not only was he closely monitoring them, the other eight were also on high alert, ready to attack at any time.
!!
Iron head and old man Li did not sense it, but Fang ping did.
He glanced in the direction of Mount Yuhai and grinned.
In the next moment, a huge middle finger appeared in the void!
I despise you!
“What are you looking at? I’m going to the forbidden Sea to take a piss. Do you want to follow me?”
Fang ping did not know which idiot was over there. The aura was extremely weak, but he knew that someone was there.
At this moment, he was extremely arrogant. He had always been arrogant, and now he had the right to be arrogant.
“I’m going out for a few days, so you better behave yourself! Otherwise … I’ll blow you up!”
“By the way, I’m going to Chu Wu continent to talk to Chu Wu about the Alliance. If you’re interested, you can come with me or find a place to kill me. Don’t worry, I didn’t trick you. I didn’t bring Heavenly King suppression with me …”
Fang ping laughed loudly, very arrogant, but also very calm.
I didn’t bring the Heavenly King!
It was true!
Heavenly King Zhen is still on earth, you guys can check, but do you want to kill me?
At the side, even the iron-headed old man Li was helpless.
Why would they provoke the catacombs?
No matter what, the other party had many powerhouses who had broken through eight levels, and many of them had broken through two levels. Although Fang ping had also broken through eight levels, he was only at the level of breaking through two levels.
As for burning the great Dao to break nine …
Did Fang ping still have any powerful great DAOs in his hands?
Not necessarily!
Even old man Li and the others were not clear about this.
However, looking at Fang Ping’s arrogant look, it was possible that he did. They could not see through Fang ping now.
His middle finger was huge. Fang ping provoked them, then took the two of them and left by stepping on air. It was as if he was not worried at all that these people from the catacombs would kill him.
There were many powerhouses in the catacombs who had broken through eight levels.
Experts like Hongyu, Hongkun, Feng, and the demon Thearch were even ranked in the top ten.
These people could even temporarily hold back two nine-breakthrough cultivators, just like the emperor’s avatar.
However, even though Fang ping had provoked them, no one showed up at this moment, and no one made a move.
……
Fang ping and the others ‘auras were also moving rapidly. Very soon, they had entered the forbidden Sea area, and the feeling was no longer obvious.
When they left, a figure appeared at the peak of the defensive Sea Mountain. He allowed the cracks in the sky to cut him, but he was not injured at all. In fact, the cracks could not even get close.
Not long after the figure appeared, a few more figures appeared.
“Brother Yu,”
Li Zhu looked at Hongyu on the mountaintop, then called out to him and said with a frown,””Fang ping went overseas?”
“Yes.”
Hongyu was the one who had been secretly monitoring Fang ping. His mentality was strong, so he could monitor him from a distance.
Hongyu looked in the direction Fang ping had left, frowning slightly.
Soon, a few more people arrived.
“Fang ping wants to go to the beginner’s martial arts Place?” King Qian asked eagerly the moment he arrived.
Hongyu glanced at him and said indifferently,””That’s what he said,”
“Then …”
Before King Qian could finish his sentence, Hongkun said calmly,””You want to kill him?”
King Qian said in a deep voice,”we’re all trembling with fear now. We don’t even dare to separate. We’re afraid that Fang ping will suddenly attack us!” “But if the Heavenly King really can’t keep up with Fang ping …”
King Qian took a deep breath and said,”li Hansong and longevity sword are with him. Both of them have strange paths. Even if Fang ping wants to take the path, he might not be able to!
“On the humans ‘side, as long as the Heavenly King suppression is not with him and the martial King is not by his side, no matter how strong Fang ping is, he will only be able to break eight!”
“Check where the Heavenly King of suppression is. We’ll know if he’s following Fang ping,” King Qian said quickly.
King Kun frowned slightly.
He did not really want to fight Fang ping.
However, the key was that Fang ping was hostile to them and could attack them at any time, breaking them down one by one.
If Fang ping was like the Heavenly King of suppression, going into closed-door cultivation when he had nothing to do, they would not have been so fixated on him.
The Fang ping of today was powerful. In addition to the threat from the emperor’s side, it would naturally be best if they could live in peace.
But …
...
The psychological pressure that Fang ping gave everyone was too great!
This was not a master who knew his place!
King Kun looked in the direction of the bitter sea and fell into deep thought. Should he make a move on Fang ping?
Fang ping said that he was going to chuwu continent to discuss cooperation. Hongkun thought that Fang ping might really go to chuwu continent. As for whether it was for cooperation or something else, it was hard to say now.
Feng smiled.”He’s going to chuwu to discuss a collaboration … I think it’s fine for a martial King to go. If he goes … The negotiations will either be closed immediately or a war will break out soon.”
Fist God and the others didn’t have good tempers either, and he was even more so.
If they didn’t agree, the two sides would soon fight.
Moreover … He’s going to the beginner level and he’s actually bringing the grey cat …”
Feng did not know if Fang ping was too confident or too arrogant!
Chuwu wanted to kill the grey cat!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt had been like this for a long time.
...
In order to kill the gray cat, the powerful fire god had died. The fire god still had a successor. The martial Saint had also fought with Fang ping and the others before.
Even though they had worked together twice, it didn’t mean anything.
Hongyu laughed.”The divine Kingdom of Chaos is also in the sea. Fang ping might be going there. Even if he’s not, he might join forces with Tian Chen and the others. Even if he doesn ‘t, Tian Chen and the heavenly dog won’t sit by and watch the gray cat be killed …
“Therefore, even if Fang ping is moving alone, it doesn’t mean that he’s the only one.”
Everyone nodded their heads slightly. This was true.
Therefore, killing Fang ping was not an easy task.
At this point, Li Zhu did not mention the matter of besieging Fang ping. Looking in the direction of misery, he said slowly,””At first, we all wanted to see Fang ping rush to the front and resist the pressure of the Emperor.
“But Fang ping … The pressure he gives us is actually greater than the Emperor!”
They would let Fang ping charge at the front and make an enemy out of the Emperor so that the Emperor would no longer pay attention to them.
This was what everyone had thought before.
However, who would have known that Fang ping would become so terrifyingly powerful in the blink of an eye? even when many of them had broken 8 levels, no one dared to mention killing Fang ping.
If this went on, they might be killed by Fang ping before the Emperor arrived.
Li Zhu looked around and laughed.”However, Fang ping has thoroughly offended the Emperor this time. He has also shown the Emperor his threat. Although the Emperor is now trapped in the origin land, it doesn’t mean that he can’t move at all.
Did he lose his clone?
Not all the sovereigns had descended before.
Did no one want to kill Fang ping?
However, with the Heavenly King suppression around, these emperors were also worried that their avatars would be killed again. It was not easy to forge a powerful avatar.
“But now, Fang ping has left the human world and is heading to chuwu continent alone, even bringing the gray cat with him …”
When he said this, how could everyone not understand what he meant?
Hongkun sneered and said,”you want to kill Fang ping with the emperor’s hands?” I’m just afraid it won’t be as you wish …”
“If he didn’t want to kill us all the time,” Li Zhu sighed,”it’s actually for the best that he’s not dead!”
“But …”
Li Zhu shook his head.
At this point in time, it was actually beneficial for Fang ping not to die.
The emperors ‘gazes were all focused on the human world.
Fang ping, on the other hand, was unpredictable. He was more dangerous than the Royal Warriors. He had almost killed Li Zhu before. How could he not be afraid?
He was not the only one. Was King Qian not afraid?
Wasn’t King Gen afraid?
This included Hongyu, Hongkun, and the others. Were they not worried?
If they were really not worried, why would they join forces? why would they all gather in the catacombs? were they not afraid that Fang ping would attack them?
The unpredictable Fang ping, the powerful Fang ping, might not wait for the Emperor to come out before killing them.
Li Zhu sighed again and said,’he’s always been the one who kills whoever messes things up! If he’s worried that we’ll become a threat when the Emperor descends, he’ll definitely attack us!
Even if he suffered heavy losses, Fang ping would not hesitate!
Right now, he might think that we’ll become his helpers in dealing with the Emperor, but once … He thinks that we’re more of a threat than helpers, he’ll definitely kill us!”
“We and the Emperor …”
King Kun was about to speak but he suddenly stopped.
Would they become helpers in dealing with the Emperor?
Fang ping might not believe it.
Hongyu used to be a patrol, and he and Hongyu were both the sons of the king of earth. It was said that the king of earth was still alive.
The seal bearer and the trusted person of the nine emperors, the kind that could even be considered a military advisor in the past. Would they help Fang ping or the Emperor?
As for the demon Thearch, although it was not on good terms with the beast Emperor, they were both demons. In the past, when they fought for hegemony, the beast Emperor did not kill it.
Fang ping might not maintain his current thoughts.
This fellow’s way of thinking changed every day. At a critical moment, he might see them as obstacles and attack them, killing them to prevent them from ruining his plans.
This was not a wild guess. It was a result of Fang Ping’s combat habits and personality over the past few years.
Feng looked at him, then at Hongyu. He chuckled. Whoever can contact the Emperor, go ahead and do it. We’ll kill him with a borrowed knife, even if Fang ping knows that we’re the ones who contacted him secretly …
If he lost, he would die, so it was naturally fine.
If we win, we’ll still do what we should do. We’re already enemies, so as long as we stick together, he won’t be able to attack us that easily. ”
To sum it up, it was okay to borrow someone else’s knife to kill someone, but he would not do it himself.
Even if Fang ping was going overseas on his own, he would not go.
If the emperor’s clone could kill Fang ping, it did not matter. If both sides suffered losses, the humans would not let the matter rest.
If he could not kill them, Fang ping might not even have the time to care about them. He would probably be bent on seeking revenge from the Emperor.
That fellow was extremely vengeful.
The demon Thearch sneered,”Hongyu, aren’t you in close contact with that side?” Since that’s the case, you can do this! “The Emperor wants to kill Fang ping, and Fang ping also wants to kill the emperor’s clone to weaken their strength. Since that’s the case, if you fulfill their wishes, perhaps Fang ping will even thank you!”
Hongyu looked at him coldly and snorted. “It’s still hard to say who’s in more frequent contact with the Emperor!”
Of all the people present, he wasn’t the only one who had a connection with the Emperor.
On the surface, everyone seemed to be fighting to the death with the emperors. Surrounding the human Emperor and the donghuang clone … They were all doing their best.
But that didn’t mean that they wouldn’t rest until the Emperor was dead.
Among the experts of the Three Realms, some were pawns of the Emperor, and some were spies. It was impossible for the Emperor to not have made any arrangements.
The reason why Hongyu retorted was because the fey Thearch had ill intentions.
If they really failed and this lunatic Fang ping insisted on finding someone to vent his anger on, the demon Thearch and the others might very well push the blame on Hongyu.
Who could guarantee that the emperor’s clone could kill Fang ping?
What if I can’t kill him?
Of course, if he wanted to kill Fang ping, the Emperor would not underestimate him this time. Fang ping had killed the Dao tree before. If an Emperor were to make a move this time, their strength would not be weaker than the Dao tree. This was for sure.
Otherwise, they would be courting death.
However, Fang ping had won every battle he fought. The more he fought, the stronger he became. Hongyu and the others could not guarantee that Fang ping would be killed.
As they were discussing, King Gen said anxiously,””If we can kill Fang ping, that would be the best! “Everyone wants Fang ping to be the vanguard against the Emperor, but is Fang ping the kind of person who will be at our beck and call?
He can’t wait to kill us all and then go to the emperors to start a war …”
Everyone understood his urgency.
They were not stupid. It was not the first time Fang ping had burned his great Dao-slaying Dao tree and his great Dao.
Did the Fang ping now have the path of the Heavenly King?
There might not be!
When Heavenly King Yan died, the star of origin exploded extremely quickly. Moreover, Fang ping might not have the ability to deprive the seventh-level Heavenly King path, so he probably did not have the seventh-level Heavenly King path.
The stronger Fang ping was, the stronger the Heavenly King great Dao he needed to use. This was something everyone could see.
Didn’t Heaven’s Fate run so fast to avoid Fang ping from making a move on him?
King Gen was afraid of death. Naturally, he wanted Fang ping to die immediately.
The others looked at each other, then Li Zhu smiled and said,””Everyone, if you can contact him, then do so. If you can ‘t, then forget it! As for going to the sea to kill Fang ping, forget it. The attitude of the initial stage martial artists was unclear, there were many powerhouses in the divine Kingdom of Chaos, and the Heavenly King suppression could appear at any time …
“By then, even if we can kill Fang ping, I’m afraid many of us will die.”
Anyway, it’s right that I don’t go!
Everyone had the same thought.
“It doesn’t matter if Fang ping and a beginner martial artist fight each other, or if you fight the emperor’s avatar, they won’t do anything. They’ll just wait for the results.
He wouldn’t feel heartache for anyone who died!
“I’m just afraid that Fang ping and Chu Wu have really reached an agreement …”
King Kun was still having a headache.”Over there, fist God, underworld God, and the others are all at the peak of breaking through eight levels …”
“We can’t stop them since they’ve come to an agreement,”
Li Zhu didn’t care much about it, and he soon smiled and said,””Besides, it’s not that easy! Those people at the initial stage of martial arts were extremely arrogant. Even if they really reached an agreement, they would probably want to lead the human race, not order them around.
“Don’t you all know Fang Ping’s personality?”
Li Zhu said a few words, then pondered for a moment and said,””As for Daoist Fengyun, King Kun, are you really unable to contact him? The other party was most likely a clone of one of the top few emperors, or even … The true body of the Emperor of earth!
“If he’s willing to make a move, there’s still hope of killing Fang ping.”
“I don’t know his identity!” King Kun frowned and snorted.
Daoist Fengyun had been under his command for eight thousand years and had almost never shown any abnormality.
In the end, when the Billboard was released, everyone knew that the problem was serious.
Li Zhu said no more. Hongyu smiled and said,””Then, everyone, you may leave!”
Everyone returned to their own homes. As for who would contact the Emperor, whether or not they would contact him, it was up to everyone.
Just as Hongyu was about to leave, Feng suddenly laughed.”Everyone, now that the Emperor is in deep sleep, perhaps he has already entered the origin land. What do you think about breaking the three gates or the true gate now?”
“……”
The few of them instantly stopped!
“Feng, what do you mean by this?”
“Nothing much,” Heavenly King Feng chuckled.”I’m just thinking that this might be our chance. If it’s hard to get to the real gate, then go to the nine Heavens …”
Feng Youyou said,’in the nine Heavens, the celestial source is the Dao trap! Are you all really willing to do this? Now, we might be able to get out of this predicament!”
Everyone’s eyes flickered, but no one said anything. Very quickly, they dispersed.
Feng didn’t leave. He stood in place, chuckled, and muttered,”Maybe … Fang ping can help us keep some people in check.”
Even if the Emperor was asleep or trapped in the source, would there be no one left outside the three gates and the land of the celestial origin?
Although these two places were difficult to go to, it wasn’t impossible.
The clone was the best choice to guard these places!
Feng, on the other hand, was looking forward to it. If the Royal Warriors were really going to kill Fang ping … Would these places be their chance?
He glanced around and saw that everyone had left.
However, Feng laughed. He believed that there would be people who would be moved.
Even if there were people cooperating with the Emperor, his own strength was the true strength!
The celestial source controlled their great DAOs. This was a threat.
Origin land. Breaking down doors could increase one’s strength. This was a good place to increase one’s strength.
No matter where they went, it would be of great help to them.
It was difficult for one person to break through the nine Heavens, but now, there were several people who had broken through the peak of the eighth heaven. If they joined forces, it was not impossible to break through the passage to the nine Heavens.
However, the origin land was a little troublesome. They might not be able to go over.
……
The forbidden Sea.
“Why are you making such a big fuss?” old man Li said helplessly.
“It’s useless even if I keep a low profile. ”
Fang ping shrugged.”They’re too outstanding. I shine wherever I go. Besides, I’m also bringing the two of you with me. I can’t avoid them. Since that’s the case, it’s good to scare them a little.”
Old man Li was speechless. Iron head also snorted and tried to hold back his laughter.”Fang ping, have you realized that no matter where you go, people and dogs will look down on you …”
“Ha!”
Fang ping said disdainfully,”only those with this ability have this ability. Do you have this ability?” You go out, be careful that the eighth level will kill you and take your Emperor armor!”
Iron head was depressed. He had been struck.
Forget it. It was useless to provoke Fang ping verbally. He lost every time. It was better to shut up.
“Where are we going now?”
Old man Li could not be bothered to talk to him about this. He looked at the vast sea and said hesitantly,”Should I go to the divine Kingdom of Chaos first, or to the beginner martial stage?”
“Let’s go to the divine Kingdom of Chaos first!”
Fang ping grinned.”I haven’t met Tian Chen yet. I’d like to meet him. I’d like to see the captain’s attitude!” News of the celestial Thearch’s projection being killed by me has already spread throughout the Three Realms. I’ll go and see what his attitude towards me is. ”
The celestial Thearch was Tian Chen’s teacher, and Tian Chen was equivalent to a direct disciple. He was not like the nine emperors, who were just disciples who taught the way.
What would Tian Chen’s reaction be when he saw Fang ping?
“I’ll go to the divine Kingdom of Chaos and then the Western Imperial Palace!”
Fang ping snorted,’that guy from celestial pole, he runs really fast! But the divine tool and the Jade bone pill that his father promised him are still with him!”
Fang ping had no use for the Jade bone pill.
However, just because he couldn’t use it didn’t mean that no one else could.
He had asked the Heavenly King of suppression about the Jade bone elixir. It was a good item and was extremely rare in the Three Realms.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt was of great help to the forging of Jade-like bones. It was not inferior to Fang Ping’s vitality, and the effect might even be better, because it was mainly targeted at forging Jade-like bones.
Old Zhang and the others could all be of use.
There was also the divine artifact. The thin sword was given to old Zhang, and old Zhang could be considered someone with a divine artifact now, so wouldn’t it be good to have one more?
‘Why did Heaven’s Fate run so fast? Fang ping did not say he was going to kill him.’
The strength of the Western Imperial Palace was not weak.
Tianji broke through the seventh level, Shenghong broke through the sixth and became the first!
Sheng Nan had also broken six.
Three Heavenly King stage powerhouses.
Sheng Hong was also the only inspector who didn’t die in the secret realm.
Back then, there were so many investigators, many Heavenly Kings, and a few who had broken through the seventh rank. Now, they were all dead. Sheng Hong was the only one who survived.
Including South Emperor’s first seat Yin Fei, North Emperor’s first seat Liu Shan, these people were all dead.
The fact that Sheng Hong was able to survive was actually related to the celestial pole.
The two of them were on the same side. When the celestial pole was in danger, they would run faster than rabbits. Sheng Nan was Sheng Hong’s junior Brother. When he saw Sheng Hong, he quickly called out to him and ran away with him.
Sheng Hong had to thank Sheng Nan for avoiding danger several times.
Now, Sheng Hong had also disappeared. He must have run away with the celestial pole. No one knew where the three of them had been teleported to.
Old man Li laughed when he heard that.”Heaven’s Fate sure is lucky …”
“It might not be good luck!”
Fang ping said faintly,”this guy, who knows what’s going on! When he first came out of the mountain, he pretended to be crazy. Later on, when he realized that there were more experts, he immediately began to retreat. He was even more patient than Yue Ling!
He’s not the only one who has secrets among the Heavenly Kings. ”
“Let’s not talk about others, just Hongkun …”
Fang ping said slowly,”do you still remember the incident at spirit Emperor dojo?” At that time, almost all the Heavenly Kings of the Three Realms had gone in. Feng and Hongyu didn’t go, probably because they knew that it was fake.
What about Hongkun?
He had entered faster than anyone else. Didn’t he know that it was fake?
Did he really not know that the Emperor was still alive?
I think King Qian and the others are probably kept in the dark, but Hongkun … That’s not necessarily the case. But he still went in!”
King Qian and the others probably only found out about the emperor’s existence later on.
However, King Kun was hard to say.
He only found out later?
Fang ping even suspected that this guy had long known about the existence of the patrol envoy and knew that the Emperor was behind it. Otherwise, he would have kept such a low profile all these years. Who was he afraid of?
As for the demon Thearch … It was hard to say.
“You’re saying that he did it on purpose?”old man Li’s eyes flickered.
“It’s very possible!”
Fang ping continued,”also, why is Hongkun staring at Skywood?” Previously, I thought that he wanted to forge Jade-like bones, but in reality, even if he absorbed the heavenly wood, he might not be able to forge Jade-like bones!
The heavenly tree was the first tree between heaven and earth. Not to mention the Dao tree, the heavenly tree actually had the hope of proving the way to become the Emperor of monster plants …
Furthermore, Hongkun’s goal was to fuse with the celestial wood, and he didn’t kill it.
He had spent 8000 years just for a Saint?
The celestial Thearch wanted the Dao tree to vindicate Dao and become the Emperor of the monster plants, but what about Hongkun?
In addition, he had taken away the heavenly Hound’s corpse, so what did he want it for?
He had previously snatched the heaven peeking mirror and created the mapping door just for the peak DAOs?
It can’t be?”
At this moment, as Fang ping understood more things, he had also deduced many things.
“I think the mapping door is just his experiment!”
“He has the door of reflection and the reciprocity realm. He can try to take away the great Dao! If the heavenly dog was considered a member of the demon race, then the heavenly tree was a demon plant. These two were probably the members of the demon race who had the greatest hope of becoming emperors!
A monster beast and a monster plant …
Is Hongkun trying to strip them of their DAOs?”
There were some things that he did not understand before, but now that he thought about it again, Fang ping understood a little.
Did Hongkun care about those peak and monarch level great DAOs?
He didn’t care!
Then did he care about the energy of the sky Wood?
He didn’t care!
What did he care about?
It was the great Dao!
The great Dao of the strongest monster plant and the strongest monster beast. As for the heavenly Hound saying that it was not a monster … That was not true. The heavenly Hound and the gray cat had always said that they were monsters and had even tried to build a relationship with the beast Emperor.
The door of reflection and the realm of origin were both in Hongkun’s hands.
Hongkun had been hiding in the divine sect for so many years. Fang ping suspected that this guy might have been studying the demon race’s great Dao.
“Monster plants, monster beasts … The beast Emperor is studying them, and the God Emperor is studying them.”
Fang ping mumbled,”could it be that the DAOs of monster plants and monsters will be different if they’re merged?” Even the celestial Thearch is researching to vindicate the Dao tree. It seems that things are more interesting than I thought!”
Fang ping said as he flew in the air.
Old man Li’s head ached, and he pulled him back.”Aren’t we going to the divine Kingdom of Chaos? You’re flying in the wrong direction, that’s the direct way to Chu Wu continent …”
“Of course I know,” Fang ping said calmly,”I’m just going around in a circle to see if there’s anyone hiding in ambush. ”
Old man Li sneered. Iron head also found it strange and asked, “You’re already this strong, why are you still lost?”
Fang Ping’s gaze was unfriendly.”Trouble comes from the mouth, do you understand? Like I said, it’s just to lure the enemy!”
“Tsk!”
Iron head curled his lips. ‘Forget it, you’re strong, so you have the final say.’
Fang ping cursed silently, but he did not let his guard down.
This time, he might really be surrounded and killed.
It was better to be careful!
He had a headache. Should he reveal his strength of breaking nine when he was surrounded?
Or should he just let his clone be killed and create an illusion that he had fallen?
Anyway, he didn’t have a great Dao, so it was normal for him to die without a heavenly change.
“I said I would keep a low profile … I wanted to kill the Emperor. It’s not good for me to reveal my strength of breaking nine, right?”
Fang ping muttered in his heart, one should keep a low profile.
