Chapter 687: Kill, Reveal

"Heavenly Gang Three Transformations!"

"Five Elements Unified!"

"Heavenly Mechanism Thirteen Staves!"

"Down!"

He Pingsheng, without any hesitation, roared loudly, and the massive purple-red divine staff instantly turned black, its length surging from three hundred zhang to five hundred zhang in an instant.

The Heavenly Gang Three Transformations technique originally doubled the base attack power.

But as He Pingsheng's cultivation base and magical power increased, this enhancement had weakened considerably.

Even so, it still added more than ten percent.

Combined with the Heavenly Mechanism Thirteen Staves, the thirteen staves merged into one, unleashing a torrent of force that stirred heaven and earth.

The void trembled faintly; the sunlight in the sky dimmed by a third.

With a single strike, the void was sealed, and time was locked!

"Your fucking mother... this attack is that strong?" Hu Tianci, trapped in the vortex of the assault, shit himself. He trembled as he barely activated his defense, shouting: "Who the hell are you?!"

The moment he finished speaking, the five-hundred-zhang-long staff descended upon Hu Tianci's head.

He naturally possessed defensive magic treasures, but his three layers of defense were torn apart like paper.

Fortunately, Hu Tianci was the crown prince of the White Tiger Clan, and at the critical moment, he threw out a celestial pet.

This celestial pet's cultivation was around Void Refinement seventh layer—a creature He Pingsheng had never seen before, but it resembled a pangolin, possessing an immensely strong armored shell.

The black staff slammed into the "pangolin," and the Void Refinement seventh-layer divine beast was instantly blasted away, its body shattered by He Pingsheng's single strike.

Yet, despite all this, the White Tiger Clan's crown prince Hu Tianci suffered no injury whatsoever.

"Brother... let's talk this out!"

"You've misunderstood me—I came to trade with you..."

"That was just a joke. We can negotiate!"

"Fine!" He Pingsheng grinned, stroking the staff in his hand. "Prince Hu, how do you plan to negotiate? How much celestial treasure are you willing to compensate me?"

The moment He Pingsheng finished speaking, Hu Tianci let out a piercing scream.

Puff... puff... puff...

Eight purple needles pierced through his body and landed before He Pingsheng.

Supreme Spirit Artifact: Eight Treasures Purple Cloud Stings

Correct—having missed Hu Tianci with the previous strike, He Pingsheng had silently launched eight poison needles, ambushing him.

While feigning negotiation, he launched the ambush; Hu Tianci, caught off guard, was pierced through the body by the eight poison needles.

Piercing the body wasn't critical—it was merely superficial.

The key was, these needles carried deadly poison.

"Shiiii... shiiii..."

He Pingsheng's spiritual sense stirred, and the eight Purple Cloud Stings darted through the void again, appearing to strike the White Tiger.

The White Tiger crown prince panicked and hastily activated another defense treasure.

But at that moment, the eight Purple Cloud Stings vanished entirely, replaced by seven emerald divine nails that shot from He Pingsheng's spiritual sense and slammed into Hu Tianci's mind.

The illusion and reality combined left Hu Tianci utterly stunned.

"Again..."

"Human and Spear as One!"

Boom...

The staff in He Pingsheng's hand transformed into a spear, reducing the already spiritually wounded White Tiger crown prince to a bloody mist.

The battle ended swiftly.

He Pingsheng took a deep breath, then shook his head.

Even at the same Void Refinement realm, the difference was immense.

That Mingyue bastard, though only Void Refinement first layer and merely a projection, I still couldn't beat him even now.

Yet I just slaughtered the White Tiger crown prince in a few strikes?

Undeniably, the gap between Void Refinement cultivators is truly heaven and earth.

Of course, He Pingsheng had also seen his own limits.

Only by exhausting every resource could he kill a Void Refinement cultivator like the White Tiger crown prince—this battle had used nearly all his strongest attacks.

He no longer had the casual ease of earlier days, when he could casually obliterate opponents across realms with a single strike.

The higher the cultivation, the harder it became to fight across realms.

"Retract..."

He Pingsheng collected the shattered remains of the White Tiger.

And the pangolin's body as well.

This could be used for talisman crafting or magic treasure forging.

In addition, He Pingsheng obtained two rings.

After finishing these tasks, he swallowed several 【Ice Jade Loquat Paste】 to restore his qi and spiritual power first.

This White Tiger was merely an appetizer.

The real opponent had not yet appeared!

The moment He Pingsheng swallowed the Ice Jade Loquat Paste, the void around him violently rippled.

A black-robed, white-haired youth appeared.

Then, from the four directions above He Pingsheng, three more figures emerged.

A woman dressed in red.

Two Void Refinement cultivators clad in blue.

The weakest among them was at Void Refinement fifth or sixth layer.

The tallest, the white-haired immortal, had reached Void Refinement eleventh layer.

"Brilliant!" The white-haired youth clapped, smiling. "No wonder Tianhuo Divine Emperor Tian Jinpeng couldn't sleep at night—you're a heavenly prodigy capable of slaying Void Refinement cultivators across realms!"

"He Pingsheng... you must know now why we've come?"

The white-haired man stared at He Pingsheng.

He Pingsheng nodded, his heart slightly shaken.

Just now, he had sensed nothing of their presence—yet they had been watching him for a long time?

"Are you Tianhuo Divine Emperor's dog?" He Pingsheng asked coolly, a sneer on his lips.

The white-haired youth did not anger; instead, he smiled gently. "No—I am a lone cultivator who accepted Tian Jinpeng's reward, hence traveled ten thousand miles to hunt you down."

He Pingsheng nodded, then asked: "Did you also massacre the Li family of Doumi Mountain?"

"No," the white-haired youth shook his head. "The Li family was wiped out by Tianhuo Divine Emperor's subordinates. I merely followed orders to take this woman from him."

"You may kill the White Tiger crown prince, but you are no match for me!"

"Besides, we are four!"

The white-haired elder fixed his gaze on He Pingsheng: "So today, you will die without doubt."

"You are a genius, and I admire geniuses. Speak your final words or last wishes—I will fulfill them for you."

All four stared at He Pingsheng.

He Pingsheng smiled, then said to Xi Hu: "Xi Hu, step aside—don't get caught in the crossfire."

"Understood!" Xi Hu, aware of the gravity, quickly retreated, distancing himself a thousand li away.

Now He Pingsheng no longer worried these people might harm Xi Hu.

After all, a Body Integration cultivator still lurked unseen in the surrounding void.

The red-clad woman smirked: "So you plan to fight to the death?"

"You don't seriously think you can stand against all four of us?"

"No," He Pingsheng said. "I couldn't possibly defeat all four of you—not even this one alone."

He pointed at the white-haired man.

But then he added: "Yet you four cannot kill me either."
