Chapter 281: Chapter 211 Four Monkeys of the Mixed World

Therefore, to deal with someone like Li Ping’an who doesn’t play by the rules, one must strike hard! Strike to kill! Leave no room for mercy!

Otherwise, Li Ping’an will surely have something up his sleeve.

"Yes, Master!"

With the approval of the Undying Immortal Kumarajiva, Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao now became reckless.

"Li Ping’an, go to hell!"

Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao again fiercely thrust his sword at the neck of Li Ping’an, who was looking down.

"Ah!"

The cultivators present exclaimed in shock:

"That’s not right, wasn’t Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao controlled by Li Ping’an?"

"How could he suddenly move?"

"Li Ping’an is done for!"

"In the end, who is controlling whom here!"

And Li Ping’an, who had been looking down to find a way of escape, saw that the strange shadow on the ground, controlled by Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao, had started to move:

"Damn! He can actually move? How could he break my ’Divine Dream Marrying Technique’ without outside interference? Could it be that his cultivation is above mine?"

Li Ping’an, immensely shocked, slightly lifted his head and saw the sword tip from the hand of Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao already aiming at his throat.

"Damn it! Looks like I’m forced to use another method!"

The first thing Li Ping’an thought was to struggle, but struggling was futile as if his body was locked by numerous chains, making it impossible to move.

So the second thing he thought of was the Hundred Plays Steel Rod and the Immortal Slaying Sword, which had always been hidden inside his storage gourd; only these two Magical Treasures could save his life at this moment.

However, it was absolutely not an option to use the Immortal Slaying Sword he had seized from Pei Yuanjing right under the watch of Sect Master Zhuge Junchen of the Flame Cloud Sect, so he could only use the Hundred Plays Steel Rod.

But since the National Teacher Pudu Cihang and people like Zuo Qianhu from the Imperial Edict Office had seen the Hundred Plays Steel Rod, Li Ping’an, to confidently use the rod, quickly looked around at everyone present.

"There’s nobody from the Imperial Edict Office, that means no one from the National Teacher is here! Now I can use this treasure with confidence! Divine Skills: Art of Object Control! Hundred Plays Steel Rod, come out!"

Just as Li Ping’an was facing his first dire situation and was about to be killed by Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao, the nimble Hundred Plays Steel Rod flew out from the storage gourd at great speed, unnoticed by anyone present, including Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao.

With a "clang," everyone saw Li Ping’an’s neck arch backward slightly as a rod engraved with two dragons playing with a pearl sprung into existence in front of him, also blocking the lethal attack from Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao.

"You little beast! You’ve forced all my weapons out! You’ve really done it!"

After cursing, Li Ping’an controlled the Hundred Plays Steel Rod using his Divine Skills: Art of Object Control and struck at the startled Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao.

"Where did this Li Ping’an get his weapon from?"

As Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao was surprised and flustered, his reaction was too slow to avoid being knocked back several meters by Li Ping’an’s blow with the Hundred Plays Steel Rod.

"Now’s my chance!"

Li Ping’an’s move was actually a diversion, a feint intended for an attack, his true target being the strange shadow that controlled his body.

Just as he had expected, the shadow following Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao like a shadow retreated along with him. However, the shadow’s hands and the Black Sword still controlled his own shadow, meaning Li Ping’an was still under the control of the Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao.

"Hundred Plays Steel Rod! Break free!"

Li Ping’an continued to control the Hundred Plays Steel Rod with his mind, hammering fiercely on the shadow creature beneath him.

The shadow creature underfoot seemed to be truly in pain from the blows, its body involuntarily shaking, but it still kept its hold on Li Ping’an.

"Keep breaking!"

Li Ping’an controlled the Hundred Plays Steel Rod and kept smashing hard at the shadow creature repeatedly. The creature, unable to withstand the pain from Li Ping’an’s continuous attacks, finally had the entire shadow retreat to the feet of Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao.

"That scared me to death..."

Seeing this, Zixia finally let out a sigh of relief, constantly patting her chest to comfort herself.

"Damn it, this Li Ping’an really has a fated life!"

Senior Brother of Qingyun Sect, Taishi Bao, squinted his eyes and muttered bitterly.

"Luckily this guy didn’t die, or else I would never have been able to find Pei Yuanjing and the Immortal Slaying Sword!"

Sect Master Zhuge Junchen of the Flame Cloud Sect took a deep breath. Although he hadn’t seen Li Ping’an’s true power, he understood that now it was Li Ping’an’s turn to attack.

"A rod? The weapon is actually a rod? That is indeed rare!"

Head of Heavenly Mist Sect, Mo Liqi, stared at the rod in Li Ping’an’s hand and mused:

"We, Taoist Cultivators, typically use swords, whisk brooms, beads, fans, gourds as weapons; very few use rods as their weapon. This Li Ping’an is really interesting."

"Good! Well struck!"

Head of Immeasurable Sect, Taishu Yiqing sincerely cheered for Li Ping’an’s successful self-rescue.

Wang Tianran simply smiled, as if he had foreseen this situation, he opened his hands earnestly and said:

"Li Ping’an, now begin your show!"

Night Traveler, Muqiang Baoshan, looking at Li Ping’an’s rod that seemed very familiar, recalled a time at the Five Fingers Mountain when he had seen the Gang Leader of the Axe Gang, Supreme Treasure, using it. In this moment, he could finally confirm that the cultivator from Mount Longhu, Li Ping’an, was indeed the Gang Leader of the Five-Finger Mountain Axe Gang, Supreme Treasure who had saved him twice, without even needing Li Ping’an to remove his mask.
