Chapter 418: Consecutive Kills

Walking off the arena, He Pingsheng sat cross-legged in his seat.

He closed his eyes and did not speak to anyone.

The surrounding air was deathly silent.

However, both Grandmaster Zhen Yu and Liang Huaqiu breathed a sigh of relief.

Moreover, both of their faces revealed expressions of joy.

They had originally thought He Pingsheng was making a deal with the Qi State; they hadn't expected He Pingsheng to be truly ruthless today, with every move aimed at taking the other party's life.

As for why this was the case, Zhen Yu and Liang Huaqiu did not understand.

But Wang Dun, who was beside them, understood.

"Kid He, you actually know Master He Wen?" Zhen Yu suddenly asked.

At this, the others also turned their gazes with curiosity.

He Pingsheng and Master He Wen had only exchanged a few words just now, but even with just those few, everyone could tell that He Pingsheng and 【Master He Wen】 knew each other.

That's right, He Pingsheng did indeed know him.

Actually, it couldn't be called knowing him; it could only be said that they had met.

Years ago, at the Skull Mountain Trade Fair, he went to purchase some materials for refining the 【Spirit-Nourishing Pill】 to reshape Qiao Huizhu's spirit roots and meridians, and at that time, he encountered an old man selling jade slips.

On the old man's stall, thousands of jade slips were laid out.

Selling all kinds of cultivation techniques.

When others asked him where he got so many techniques, the old man said, "The sect went bankrupt."

He Pingsheng also squatted in front of the stall to buy, but didn't see anything he liked; at that moment, the old man casually tossed He Pingsheng a divine sense ability called 【Wind of Divine Sense】.

After practicing this, one could condense an invisible wind of divine sense to disrupt the opponent's sea of consciousness.

Later, He Pingsheng placed this jade slip technique into the Treasure-Gathering Basin to strengthen it, turning it into the two techniques: 【Formless Big Dipper Nail】 and 【Purple Mansion Nine Shield Method】.

So the question arose.

The old man's seemingly meaningless behavior back then was actually very purposeful.

He must have seen that He Pingsheng's divine sense was powerful and that he was someone who practiced 【Divine Sense Cultivation Techniques】; otherwise, he wouldn't have given him that divine sense ability.

Thus, saying He Pingsheng owed him a favor was not wrong.

"Yes, Senior!" He Pingsheng said: "In my early years, I encountered Master He Wen traveling in the mortal world; Master He Wen gave me a cultivation technique to practice, so..."

Grandmaster Zhen Yu nodded and interrupted: "You actually have such a connection?"

"It truly is your good fortune, hehehehe..."

Half an incense stick later, He Pingsheng stepped onto the arena again.

The second-ranked cultivator from the Qi State also followed onto the arena.

This was a tall man who politely cupped his hands toward He Pingsheng: "Please show mercy!"

"Fellow Daoist, you may begin!"

"Be..."

As soon as the Qi State cultivator's voice fell, he pulled his defenses to the max.

This time, He Pingsheng still waved his hand, and countless wood spiritual power flew out.

In an instant, a thirty-zhang-sized poisonous thorn cage formed.

However, it did not launch an attack.

It just blindly accumulated toxicity.

When countless flowers bloomed on this thirty-zhang-sized poisonous thorn cage, tens of thousands of poison needles, guided by He Pingsheng's divine sense, roared toward the Qi State cultivator.

Pfft, pfft, pfft...

The poison needles quickly broke through all the opponent's restrictions, and then the remaining needles, with a squelch, all pierced into his body.

By the time He Pingsheng retracted this 【Sacred Wood Poison Dragon Art】, the Qi State cultivator was already lying on the ground, unconscious.

"Liang State, He Pingsheng wins!"

The host raised his hand and shouted.

Then, several Qi State disciples ran inside in a panic, and someone said in alarm: "Elder, it's bad... he's dead!"

"What?"

"Dead?"

"This..."

Long Yuan looked at He Pingsheng with a livid face.

He felt a surge of rage.

He had thought to threaten this kid yesterday, but he hadn't expected it to stimulate the kid's murderous intent instead.

This...

It's ruined.

"Continue!" On the other side, He Pingsheng raised the continue sign again.

He rested and meditated for a moment.

Then, the third match began.

The third one from the Qi State was a woman.

The woman was tall and slender, with decent cultivation and quite a bit of beauty.

Just after entering, she nervously cupped her hands toward He Pingsheng: "This little girl is definitely no match for you, Fellow Daoist, please show mercy..."

He Pingsheng looked at her indifferently and said: "Fine, if you are afraid of death, you can surrender now!"

"If you don't surrender, you will regret it!"

The woman's face turned pale with anger: "With no grudge or enmity, must you be so ruthless?"

He Pingsheng said: "I already said, you can surrender!"

"Be..."

It was impossible for the woman to surrender; she waved both hands, and a soft whip flew out from each, instantly turning ten-plus zhang long, twitching in the void like two thin snakes.

This was not a real soft whip, but a divine ability condensed by the woman with spiritual power.

This divine ability was not simple; it was not only both offensive and defensive, but at critical moments, it could also borrow strength to shift shapes and change shadows.

Strike first to gain the advantage!

Facing the opponent's attack, He Pingsheng did not dodge at all.

On his body, an earthy-yellow protective light film roared open, and then he waved his hand.

Five Elements Mixed Strength.

Under the operation of the Five Elements Mixed Strength, seven black ice arrows formed.

Spell: Cold Ice Consecutive Arrow Technique.

"Go..."

He Pingsheng gave a light shout, and the seven flying arrows flew toward the woman.

At the same time, with a smack, the woman's whip landed on He Pingsheng.

The shield on He Pingsheng's body was torn apart by the whip, and then this shield blocked fifty percent of the power on the whip.

The remaining fifty percent of the power landed on He Pingsheng's body, but it was helpless.

After all, he was a body-refining cultivator; although the 【Nine Poison Refining Golden Body】 divine ability had only been cultivated to the second layer of the Golden Core chapter, He Pingsheng could still withstand this whip, which had been weakened by the Earth Armor Technique.

On the other side, the woman was very miserable.

Pfft...

The first black ice arrow directly broke through all her attacks and defenses, and then, with its remaining power undiminished, it pierced straight through the woman's abdomen.

Blood rained down.

She couldn't even say the word "surrender" before she was killed.

The remaining six black ice arrows instantly vanished, transforming back into ice spiritual energy and returning to He Pingsheng's body.

In this strike just now, He Pingsheng had used seven ice arrows, but he had only needed one to kill the woman.

It could be said that this strike containing the Five Elements Mixed Strength was the strongest strike He Pingsheng had used since stepping onto the stage.

Outside!

A smile appeared on Zhen Yu's face.

And on the Qi State camp side, Long Yuan's face was black to the extreme.

What to do?

Should they continue fighting?

Two had already been slaughtered by this guy He Pingsheng.

If they continued to fight and were slaughtered again, even with two substitutes, they wouldn't have enough people to make ten.

If they surrendered...

Hmm...

There was still a chance.

After all, Xiao Xuan was still there.

With Xiao Xuan there, there shouldn't be much of a problem winning the subsequent matches. ===== CHAPTER 419 =====
