Chapter 555: Chapter 463: Rise of the Demon Again + Chapter 464: Difficulty in Joining Forces_3

Here, she hadn’t even counted the "Steps of Worlds Apart Technique" she practiced. Apart from not being able to use Flying and Concealing, if we speak of the nimbleness within the plain ground, it wasn’t far inferior to "Carefree Journey".

"Really, whether we can pass this level ultimately relies on Senior Brother Zhou."

Fang Sheng smiled, his eyes curving brightly.

The anxiety in his heart immediately vanished.

For some reason, every time he saw Zhou Ping’an, he felt at ease.

No matter how bad the situation, he would always come out unscathed.

Moreover, this time Senior Brother Zhou had personally initiated the invitation.

He must be completely confident...

Fang Sheng thought.

It was like being taken under the wing of his master during an expedition, he didn’t want to think about anything but to charge forward recklessly...

"It’s over, it’s really over this time. I shouldn’t have carelessly agreed to the invitation. Truly, ignorance is fearless."

The moment Zhou Ping’an and Fang Sheng exchanged these words, a voice of chest-beating and foot-stamping arose not far aside.

Turning their heads, they saw a youth in a silver robe with disheveled hair, a handleless short sword, glowing with golden light, swirling beside him, punching his own chest as if he was full of regret.

"They’re just two kids, barely twenty years old, eh? That cultivation, tsk tsk, how dare you?"

The young man in the silver robe, gritting his silver teeth, turned his gaze over Fang Sheng and then glared unfriendly when looking at Zhou Ping’an.

"You tell me, you haven’t even reached the Foundation Establishment Realm, what makes you think you can pass the trial? Don’t you know, this kind of action could get people killed? I’m so angry..."

With that word "angry" out of his mouth.

The youth in the silver robe, lips slightly pursed, a fierce gleam flashed in his eyes, the gold short sword beside him, like it teleported, shot straight towards the well of Zhou Ping’an’s shoulder.

"Shall we test your ’Formation Pill’ level first?"

Zhou Ping’an’s heart chilled slightly, his eyes narrowed, and as Hong Lian slightly turned in his mind, the void before his body stretched in an instant, and the golden short sword’s whistling speed, under his Mental Induction, appeared with a clear trajectory.

He could even see the air ripple in layers around the sword light, its sharpness causing a tearing sensation in his spiritual power.

’The speed of the sword is not much slower than a bullet, it might even make turns, this is genuine Sword Control Technique, with Divine Will hidden upon the sword.’

Just as he drew his sword to intercept first.

Suddenly, a crescent moon appeared in his view.

With a ding sound, it collided with the golden narrow sword, knocking the sword light slightly askew to the right side, its whistling fading in the distance.

The interceptor was also someone familiar.

This person had a cold expression, catching the looping moon wheel with his hand, dressed in light blue armor that was both luxurious and mysterious, with two antennae-like things on his head oscillating slightly.

It was "companion" Yan Bing from last time.

Unexpectedly, she came again.

Responding to Zhou Ping’an’s invitation.

It was unclear whether it was because she sensed the spiritual power familiar to Zhou Ping’an, or because she was in a rush to pass the level and achieve a breakthrough, having to take a risk prematurely like Zhou Ping’an.

Yan Bing’s aura erupted like a volcano, pressing towards the young man in the silver robe, her cold voice carrying slight killing intent, "It’s just mid-stage Foundation Establishment, I’ve killed such before...

Want to try if the three of us can take you on, and see if you can survive this trial alive?"

"Uh..."

The young man in the silver robe, hearing this, immediately lost his ferocity, stepped back in astonishment, carefully eyeing Yan Bing.

An expert shows skill as soon as they act.

Being cultivators at their level, their spiritual power was generally strong, capable of sensing auras from afar.

Without anyone else acting, they could roughly discern each other’s strength.

Yan Bing’s aura was explosively fierce, the energy level not slightly less than his own.

Clearly, she was a powerful expert of the same level.

Having intercepted the Sword Control attack even though reacting later.

Clearly, her reaction speed was also not slow, proving a strong adversary.

Tricky was, this woman knowing the other two lower-level individuals, now appeared to be close friends, which made the situation complicated.

If truly besieged, whether one could survive remained an uncertainty.

Upon this thought, the silver-robed youth forcibly suppressed the madness in his heart, squeezing out a smile, "Please don’t misunderstand, I merely saw that the young brother looked youthful and wanted to test his abilities. My strike was only aimed at his shoulder and did not target any vital points, as you all saw."

While speaking, he hurriedly clasped his hands together in greeting towards Zhou Ping’an, smiling, "I am Jin Ling, a disciple from the Golden Jade Palace on Long Whale Island. My actions were discourteous, I hope for your understanding. You’re not angry, are you, young brother?"

Zhou Ping’an looked deeply at the silver-robed youth and smiled, "Not angry."

He thought it apparent from his arrogant demeanor that he wouldn’t obey my command. At this moment, we need a powerful expert to restrain the enemy; there’s no need for trivial disputes.

Whether one could survive till the end was left to luck.

His gaze flickered slightly as he suppressed various emotions and no longer gave additional attention to the sword cultivator in the silver robe. Instead, he turned his head to look at the shadow of a fortress pillar.

There, stood a youth with silver-white hair and a handsome visage.

Originally, with his androgynous features and picturesque eyebrows, he should have been extremely conspicuous, catching everyone’s attention immediately.

However, Zhou Ping’an and the four others did not notice him at all.

This person’s presence was even less noticeable than the naive Shen Bi and Shen Yu sitting on a chair.

"How should I address this brother?" Zhou Ping’an asked.

"I am Qingqiu Qin Feng from the Silver Fox clan, skilled in Illusion Techniques, with cultivation at the Foundation Path Fifth Layer, not yet at the Formation Pill stage, I am ashamed!" responded the silver-haired youth with a grin, showing no concern for Zhou Ping’an’s insufficient cultivation and speaking in a very gentle manner.

However, his next sentence revealed his true intentions.

"It’s not that I’m targeting Brother Zhou, but look, with the five of us in this situation, our chances of passing are really slim. Why not designate a target, kill one of them first, then we can retreat whenever necessary to save our lives? What do you think?"

Alright, this one is a Qingqiu Fox.

He comes from a renowned large family among All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds.

Hearing the other self-introduce his background made Zhou Ping’an take an extra look.

Pity it’s a male fox; pleasing to the eye indeed, but still a shame.

Yet, you’ve laid out plans upon meeting, targeting morale first, which is somewhat impolite.

"No good, aiming high to meet the middle... I actually think we have a great chance of passing this time. Haphazardly killing someone and fleeing in panic might just make us miss the opportunity."

"Brother Zhou has high spirits," said Qin Feng, not offended, clapping his hands lightly and chuckling without further comment.

Zhou Ping’an, however, discerned the sarcasm and shook his head, knowing that he had just lost another halper.

No wonder this Demon Subduing Trial was so difficult to pass.

Originally, the main issue wasn’t the difficulty of the levels but the uncertainty of human hearts.

Without unity, defeat was almost certain.

"Sister Yan Bing," Fang Sheng cheered.

She naturally possessed a strange affinity, seemingly capable of easily fostering good relations with others.

Most importantly, she seemed to have forgotten the differences during their last trial, let alone mentioning how the other’s decision-making errors had caused two "companions" to be killed in battle.

In the end, she even benefited from their sacrifice, allowing her to escape unscathed.

"This time, you must help us. Senior Brother Zhou excels in the art of leading troops; with sufficient forces and everyone working together, we indeed have a chance to pass."

"Alright," Yan Bing hesitated not a bit, smiling and nodding.

"This time, I will be your personal shield, blocking assassination attempts. Don’t worry, my strongest skill is actually not offense, but defense. I’ve passed a Level 8 nerve reaction test and can handle the crossfire of twenty sharpshooters."
