Chapter 945 Killing to Establish Authority
"Gone? Gone?"
The Wushan Sword Sect disciple was dumbfounded, a chill running down his spine.
He was a late-stage fourth-level expert, capable of detecting the movements of a peak fourth-level expert. Yet Lin Ping disappeared right under his nose, proving that his strength was above the fifth level.
"Is that all you've got?" Lin Ping said to him.
This was exactly the effect Lin Ping wanted: to shock and even terrify the other party.
He certainly wasn't at the level of the fifth stage of Dao, but the reason he was able to disappear right under the other party's nose was because of his right eye's predictive ability.
With a little manipulation, one can appear in the other party's blind spot, creating the illusion of disappearing.
"Damn it, how dare they play me!"
The disciple from Wushan was furious.
Lin Ping clearly had a chance to win in one move, but he didn't make a move, or even draw his sword.
This is a blatant insult. Even knowing they are no match, the disciples of Wushan will fight to the death.
"I underestimated you just now. Even if you are a fifth-level master, what can you do? You still can't escape the attack of the Wushan Sword Technique!"
The Wushan Sword Sect is one of the three major sword sects, and the Wushan Sword Technique ranks quite high. Once cultivated to a certain level, it is entirely possible to kill people of a higher level.
Lin Ping smiled faintly and calmly dodged.
No matter how sharp the opponent's swordsmanship was, it could not harm a single hair on Lin Ping's head.
"As expected of the Wushan Sword Technique, such a fierce killing intent!"
Everyone couldn't help but admire the power of the Wushan Sword Technique. Disciples from small sects devoted themselves wholeheartedly to the sword technique, hoping to learn even a move or two.
However, only true experts can see the clues.
Although the Wushan sword technique was powerful, it posed no threat to Lin Ping.
"This kid's speed is too fast." The two experts next to him gasped.
They knew that the disciples of Wushan were no match for Lin Ping, and that if things continued like this, they would be defeated sooner or later.
"We're here to help you!"
The two men leaped into the air, attempting to deliver a fatal blow to Lin Ping from behind.
"Sir, be careful!" Zhang Rong shouted a warning.
Hundreds of guards drew their bows, ready to fire arrows at any moment.
"Are the people from the three great sword sects only capable of sneak attacks?" Lin Ping sneered, showing no fear of the two men's attacks.
Whoosh!
When the three swords pierced Lin Ping at the same time, his body disappeared again.
"How is this possible?" The three were in a panic. They had blocked all of Lin Ping's escape routes, and this should not have happened.
At this moment, they were unable to sheathe their swords and could only thrust them at each other.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
With a few crisp sounds, the three men's longswords fell to the ground simultaneously.
Lin Ping struck with the momentum, his sharp knife slicing through the arms of the three men almost simultaneously.
"This is your punishment. If you dare to cause trouble again, it won't be that simple."
They hadn't seen Lin Ping's movements clearly at all, and were all terrified.
If Lin Ping had intended to kill him, he would already be dead.
"Attack together and kill this brat!"
Dozens of martial arts practitioners said with ferocious eyes, having already regarded Lin Ping as a thorn in their side.
As martial arts masters, their swords are more important than their lives; how could they hand them over so easily?
They would not allow Lin Ping to live, much less enter Meizhou City unarmed.
"Very well, you asked for this!" With a flash of cold eyes, Lin Ping pulled out a sword that gleamed with a silvery-white light.
The crowd was startled by the blinding white light, and their momentum had already weakened before the battle even began.
This is the Moon Chasing Sword, one of the four great swords of the Lotus Palace, capable of cutting through iron like mud.
In an instant, disciples from various sects unleashed their ultimate techniques, and the sky shimmered with dazzling light.
Lin Ping did not use the Lotus Sword Technique or the Crimson Sun Sword Technique. He understood that every sword technique has its weaknesses and may be countered by one of the sects.
Instead of that, it's better to react to each move as it comes and use the simplest tactics to deal with a strong enemy.
Swoosh! A person's wrist was slashed.
Snap! A man's sword was cut in half.
*Thud!* Lin Ping struck one of the men in the chest, and blood splattered everywhere.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Ping had already injured ten people, and it seemed he hadn't even used his full strength yet.
While X-rays cannot enable Lin Ping to kill those of higher levels, they can make him invincible among those of the same level and unafraid of a large number of weaker opponents.
He could perfectly dodge any attack thanks to his predictive abilities.
Unless the enemy's speed is so fast that Lin Ping cannot catch him, it is impossible for him to be injured.
In other words, even a hundred late-stage fourth-level masters couldn't harm Lin Ping, unless there were fifth-level masters among them.
Puff puff!
With a spinning kick, Lin Ping sent eight people flying. Half of the well-organized united army had been knocked down by Lin Ping.
厮！
That's incredibly powerful! He's definitely a fifth-dan master, or even a mid-fifth-dan expert.
These martial arts practitioners showed fear, and dared not fight Lin Ping anymore.
"Put down your weapons obediently, and we'll spare your lives."
These people had been terrified and obediently dropped their weapons.
"Good, well played!"
The people applauded, finally getting their anger out of them.
Moreover, from now on, they will no longer be afraid of threats from martial arts practitioners; these guards will be their only support.
"Hahaha! We refuse to accept this!" The first Wushan disciple to be defeated suddenly laughed loudly.
"Oh? What's wrong? Do you want to continue competing with me?" Lin Ping said coldly.
"No, no, no, I don't think I'm a match for you," the other person quickly shook their head.
"Then why are you dissatisfied?"
Lin Ping was extremely curious, having never seen such an arrogant defeated opponent.
"The reason you were able to defeat me is because of your superior martial arts skills, not because of the abilities of these soldiers. As long as my Wushan Sword Sect sends out a more powerful expert, we can easily defeat you. These guards are of no use!" the man replied.
It must be said that his analysis makes a lot of sense.
Although Lin Ping defeated them, he could not defeat all the masters of the three major sword sects.
In other words, he was not yet a talisman for the people of Meizhou City, since the five thousand guards were practically useless and could not play any role when facing experts.
Zhang Rong broke out in a cold sweat. If Lin Ping hadn't intervened, he really wouldn't have been confident of defeating these experts.
The common people also realized what was happening, and their excited expressions instantly turned into disappointment. "Alas... apart from the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, no one can protect us."
"Hahaha!" Lin Ping also burst into laughter.
"What are you laughing at?" the crowd asked, puzzled.
"I laugh at your arrogance. Do you really think these five thousand guards are completely incompetent?" Lin Ping's gaze turned cold again.
Bang!
With a flash of fire, the Wushan disciple's thigh was pierced through.
Although he is a fourth-dan master, he was already injured and completely unprepared, making him easy to hit.
Bang bang bang!
Lin Ping pressed his advantage, pulling the trigger repeatedly, targeting only the strongest opponent.
In a flash, several experts had their thighs pierced, emitting bloodcurdling screams like wolves.
