Chapter 976: Fishing with Himself

A massive staff fell from the void without warning.

Feng Xian's complexion changed drastically; she didn't even have time to explain, she just moved her feet, intending to flee.

That's right, her first thought was to flee.

Unfortunately!

Just as she wanted to move, she discovered it wasn't easy; the void around her seemed to be fixed by some kind of law.

But for a Loose Immortal like Feng Xian, this kind of fixation wasn't impossible to break; it just made the space feel a bit viscous.

"Open for me..." she shouted, her internal magic power surging out, crashing into her surroundings, and finally, she managed to tear a gap in He Ping's 'Time Paralysis' technique, then *whoosh*, she flew away.

He Ping's strike landed on the ground.

This was the Immortal Mountain, the Misty Mountain, which itself upheld the rules of the Immortal Realm, so even though the power of this strike was immense, it didn't shatter the earth.

It merely pulverized a few rocks at the foot of the mountain.

"Want to run?" He Ping chased after her in the next instant, bringing his staff down on Feng Xian once more.

"He Pingsheng!" This time, Feng Xian didn't run, because she had already adjusted; as He Ping's staff descended, she also deployed defensive measures!

A black compass flew from her hand, *bang*, transforming into a thousand-foot-wide object, blocking He Ping's staff.

*Bang... *

The staff slammed fiercely into the compass.

Yet, the compass didn't budge in the slightest!

"Eh..." After blocking He Ping's strike, Feng Xian was overjoyed.

She was surprised by two things.

First, He Ping's attack power was actually this weak?

Although it was stronger than an ordinary Great Vehicle Realm cultivator, it was limited...

This kind of attack couldn't possibly kill her!

Compared to the Witch Clan's Gu Miaochen, it was far inferior!

The second surprise was that Feng Xian had originally thought that since the Heavenly Dao hadn't fully entered the 'Jiazi Heavenly Blindness' period, the rules governing her still applied.

Every time she struck, she would lose 100,000 years of lifespan.

As it turned out, no!

The rule regarding the loss of 100,000 years of lifespan had already begun to fail.

"Daoist Yuan Lu, Daoist Shen Mang... the laws of nature have no restrictions now! Loose Immortals can strike without losing lifespan!"

"Look!"

*Boom... *

*Boom... *

*Boom... *

Loose Immortal Feng Xian unleashed three massive attacks, each one aimed at He Ping.

He Ping deployed the cyan turtle shell.

These three attacks didn't cause him any harm either.

Because Feng Xian hadn't used her full strength; she was merely demonstrating to let others know that Loose Immortals could now strike without the penalty of lifespan reduction.

"Did you see that... Hahaha..." Feng Xian laughed wildly. "Fellow Daoists, please, quickly help me slaughter this wretch!"

"Kill him, and from now on, the Cultivation World will be pure!"

Feng Xian called out to her two companions.

After all, she didn't have the confidence to kill He Ping alone.

But others weren't stupid.

Being friends was fine, but killing He Ping? Forget it.

The two neither agreed nor refused; they just smiled.

Daoist Yuan Lu said, "Daoist Feng, he is only in the Great Vehicle Realm. Previously, you couldn't go all out because you were wary of the Heavenly Dao's lifespan penalty. Now that there are no restrictions, killing him shouldn't be difficult, right?"

"Indeed, Daoist Feng, you can certainly do it!" Daoist Shen Mang echoed.

Feng Xian cursed these old foxes under her breath, then put away the black compass and shook her hand, producing a crimson bead.

The bead flickered in Feng Xian's hand and was hurled toward He Ping.

The bead carried the aura of Nirvana, exploding outward.

In an instant, it transformed into a thousand-foot-wide object.

"Heavens... this is... this is... Nirvana True Fire!"

"The Nirvana True Fire is actually in her hands?"

Many people began to whisper.

He Ping was also shocked.

Everyone knew the Phoenix Clan possessed several of the Ten Great Innate True Fires; it was said they had four or five.

But after He Ping slaughtered the Phoenix Clan, he hadn't seen this Nirvana True Fire.

He had only obtained an unrefined 'Nine Yang True Fire'.

He hadn't expected this Nirvana True Fire to be in this woman's hands.

The strike Feng Xian unleashed, based on the Nirvana True Fire, sealed off time and space.

If He Ping had activated his 'Void Swift Movement' technique, he could certainly have dodged it.

But he didn't dodge.

"Open... for me..."

He roared, and for the second time, he deployed the complete blood-colored turtle shell!

A solid, cyan turtle phantom shrouded He Ping's body.

At that moment, the bead carrying the Nirvana Fire slammed down.

*Crack, crack, crack... *

The next moment, He Ping's cyan turtle phantom shattered.

In less than a breath, the turtle phantom exploded.

The massive bead crushed directly onto He Ping's body.

*Boom... *

He Ping's body was fiercely smashed into the foot of the Immortal Mountain.

Fortunately, the laws on the Immortal Mountain were strong enough that the earth didn't crack.

But He Ping spat out a mouthful of blood.

His face was deathly pale.

"Die..."

In the next instant, Feng Xian roared, transformed into a ten-thousand-foot divine phoenix, flew into the void, and then dove toward He Ping, her claws extended, intending to tear him into shreds.

"Come again!"

He Ping wouldn't sit and wait for death; he activated his 'Dharma Form' true body and threw a punch at the phoenix.

*Bang... *

*Crack, crack, crack... *

The phoenix's blood-red claws gripped He Ping's phantom fist, then exerted force, tearing it apart.

He Ping's Dharma Form collapsed instantly.

*Pfft... *

*Pfft, pfft, pfft... *

He Ping spat out six or seven mouthfuls of blood in succession, his body falling back to the ground.

"He Pingsheng... what is wrong with you?" Gu Miaochen asked. "I heard you had the 'Void Swift Movement' technique. Couldn't you have dodged?"

She looked anxious.

He Ping said, deathly pale, "The void... was sealed... this technique is useless against high-level cultivators!"

Gu Miaochen asked again, "When you were in the Core Formation stage, weren't you able to confront the Phoenix Clan's Loose Immortal ancestor?"

"Fart..." Feng Xian, who was soaring in the void as a divine phoenix, sneered coldly. "Back then, this wretch had a heaven-defying 'Five-Five Split' talisman, which he used on my senior brother. My senior brother couldn't do anything to him, but if it weren't for that talisman, my senior brother could have crushed him with a single finger!"

"Hahahaha..."

"He Pingsheng... you don't have that kind of talisman anymore, do you?"

It was hard for Feng Xian not to know about such things, as they were all from the Phoenix Clan!

"He Xiaozi, you're being a bit hypocritical," Jin Ku, inside He Ping's body, expressed his confusion. "According to what I see, your 'Void Swift Movement' technique could have dodged that easily. Why didn't you?"

He Ping transmitted his voice, "Old thing, be quiet. Can't you see I'm fishing?"

"Fishing?" Jin Ku was stunned for a moment. "Fishing for what?"

He Ping: "You'll know in a moment!"
