144 The White Sage (1/2)
But before Yi Ping could contemplate further Lord Tian Zhong had swung his long scepter at him!
Yi Ping took a quick glance at Lele, Lie Qing, Lingfeng and Yixian as he shook his head before he raised the Celestial Alice to say aloud, ”I am alright. I have recovered half of my martial strength already!”
Everyone was astonished!
Lingfeng had quickly recovered up to thirty percent of her martial strength but that was only because of the effects of her Divine Invigorate Skill and that she had not been fighting at her full strength.
As for the Universal Old Man and the rest of the maidens, they were all battle weary and could barely muster their full strength to oppose this new threat!
Yixian nodded slightly as she took a step back as she closed her eyes in deep meditation. If she wants to help Yi Ping then she had to recover her martial strength as quickly as possible!
Lingfeng whispered softly, ”Be careful!”
Lele cursed softly while Lie Qing was smiling weakly.
The Goddess Aiel whispered anxiously, ”Yi Ping no please. Lord Tian Zhong is one of the super exponents of the Immortal Realm. You are not his match…”
Han Lin almost fainted but there was nothing that she could do!
There was a thunderous impact when Lord Tian Zhong had swung his long scepter and struck the Celestial Alice.
Yi Ping immediately coughed out blood as he was forced to take three steps back as he thought, ”His martial prowess is like an unstoppable tidal wave…”
Yang Min, Shi Shi and Jing'Er gasped out at panicky the same time when Yi Ping had coughed out blood!
Youxue and the Celeste Wind Maiden were muttering, ”Yi Ping…”
But Yi Ping murmured, ”I am alright. He is not that strong…”
But before Lord Tian Zhong could swing his long scepter again, the Goddess Isa had displayed several wide cutting strokes to intercept him!
And at the same time Yi Ping had made a quick dodge as he separated the Celestial Alice to attack ambidextrously!
Lord Tian Zhong was taken aback as he exclaimed aloud, ”Your divine sword is actually two divine swords?!”
Yi Ping answered coldly, ”That is right!”
In a blink of an eye, Yi Ping had turned and slashed a dozen times at him!
Lord Tian Zhong was startled, ”What is this swordplay?”
Yi Ping answered, ”The Perfect Swordplay!”
Immediately bursting dust clouds flew out from the ground!
And everyone could only see three flashing shadows in the midst of the dust cloud as weapons and palms impacted thunderous from within!
Yi Ping had shouted as he slashed with the Celestial Antonym Alice, ”Heavens Encompassing Technique!”
The Goddess Isa had also displayed her secret sword technique at the same time, ”The Omega Constellation!”
Lord Tian Zhong had also shouted, ”Dragon Subduing Demon Destroyer Stroke!”
Immediately there was a thunderous impact that ripped with such an earthshaking impact that everyone was swept off their feet, including the two other Arhat Practitioners!
When the thunderous impact had ended, Yi Ping and the Goddess Isa were both flung off and slammed onto the ground with a thunderous impact!
The eyes of the Goddess Isa turned gray immediately as she muttered weakly, ”I…I have actually lost…I guess that I have slept for really too long and maybe this time…I can't awake anymore…”
The Goddess Aiel forced out a bout of black blood from her mouth as she witnessed the grisly sight of the Goddess Isa whose forehead was bloodied. She exercised all her internal strength to call out, ”Isa! Be strong! Other than the Goddess Celestial Alice, you are the strongest Goddess! You have lost only because we have been through three exasperating trials earlier!”
Such was the powerful impact of their clash of martial energies that the Universal Old Man and the rest of the maidens were exercising their internal strength to purge the external energies out or it would be fatal to them!
Yi Ping was convulsing as he coughed out black blood but he quickly mustered all his strength to crawl next to the Goddess Isa to say to her, ”Isa!”
Lord Tian Zhong took a deep breath as he circulated his vital energies to restore his vital energy channels but he was otherwise unharmed, ”I have won. Dead or alive, the Goddess Isa and the Goddess Aiel must come with us…”
”I won't forgive you!”
It was Yi Ping!
He had risen to his feet and he was shivering, not with fear but with teething rage!
Lord Tian Zhong was startled, ”You are still alive? After getting hit by the martial forces of my Subduing Dragon Demon Destroyer Stroke?”
”I won't allow you to take Isa away. Or Aiel.”
The Goddess Isa was deeply touched by Yi Ping's gesture that she murmured tearfully, ”Silly you! I am so glad that you have survived the impact…but…that is enough. If you don't provoke him further…then he won't bother with a junior like you…”
Lord Tian Zhong hummed coldly, ”But if he wants to die then it is my duty to fulfill his wish too!”
Yi Ping turned to say gently to the Goddess Isa, ”I won't let you die. I won't let anyone take you away…I won't….”
Lord Tian Zhong interrupted coldly, ”Such brave words! Such foolhardy words! Stupid!”
Yi Ping turned to Lord Tian Zhong to smile weakly, ”I may be silly but I am not stupid. I believe that there are goodness in this world and that is what we are all thriving for all the time, am I right to say so?”
All of a sudden Lingfeng began to shudder as she opened her eyes in shock!
It was because this was the same words that a mortal used to say to her!
Much later after he had overcome his Divine Calamity to become a celestial practitioner, he had taken the celestial name of the White Sage of Emptiness!
Lele's fingers were trembling!
