Chapter 1183: 1183

Lu Ping was alone . It was kind of odd since all the others were in groups . Not only did Nangong Xing notice that, but many others were also talking about him . Most people did not know him . The influence of the students of the Sword Pavilion was still quite limited .

“He’s coming this way . ” Nangong Xing said in an odd tone .

Lu Ping flew over, ignoring his threatening look .

When Nangong Xing was about to stop him, Lu Ping said, “Master . “

“H’m . ” Master Luo Cheng nodded . In this way, the two practicing bodies started their performance . “How have you been in the Sword Pavilion?” Master Luo Cheng asked .

“Good,” Lu Ping said plainly .

Although Master Luo Cheng paid the tuition for him, Lu Ping would not be obsequious to him just because of that .

“Master, this is?” Nangong Xing was puzzled by the conversation between the two practicing bodies .

“This is Lu Ping, a genius swordsman . The Master thinks he will have a great future,” Xie Ting introduced him immediately .

However, the people around looked like they were all shocked by her . Xie Ting understood the problem immediately, but there was no chance for her to change what she had said .

“A genius swordsman?”

That was where the problem lay .

Curling his lip, Nangong Xing tried to keep a straight face, but he failed . “You also got an invitation?” he asked sarcastically .

“Yep . “

“Really?” Nangong Xing doubted it . If he had received the invitation, why would he have come alone? In the Realm of Heaven Martial Arts, lots of people wanted to attend the banquet . If Lu Ping had invited them to come along with him, he would not have been despised like this .

“Elder Brother Nangong . ” Shangguan Ru called out to him . There was blame in her eyes . She somehow had a special feeling for Lu Ping . In her eyes, Lu Ping was like a lonely wolf who had left a wolf pack . He was proud, lonely, and cold .

Boo! Seeing her behaving this way, Nangong Xing was even more pissed .

“The Sword Pavilion in the Sky Reaching City? You didn’t get into the Sword Tower after graduation?” Nangong Xing asked . He knew something about the Sword Pavilion . If Lu Ping had failed to get into the Sword Tower, it meant he must have been eliminated in the Sword Pavilion’s graduation test .

“Why should I answer you?” That was exactly how Lu Ping would respond . He threw Nangong Xing a glance .

Nangong Xing was not pissed . He thought he had touched Lu Ping’s sore point .

Nothing to worry about, he thought to himself .

An idea occurred to Master Luo Cheng . He said, “I heard you broke the best record of the Sword Tower . Why didn’t you go there?” It sounded quite casual, but it successfully drew the attention of Shangguan Ru and Nangong Xing .

“Is that true?” Han Cong’er exclaimed . She did not mean it in a bad way .

“That’s quite impossible,” Nangong Xing expressed his doubt .

“Those from the Sword Tower are too annoying . I didn’t want to go,” Lu Ping replied .

Nangong Xing frowned at him . It would be fine if it were only the Sword Pavilion, a school on a spirit-level continent . However, the Sword Tower was such an important existence that even he could not take it for granted . The complaint that Lu Ping had just made against the Sword Tower made him even more mysterious . Nangong Xing thought he was only bragging, and even thought that this Master Luo Cheng was collaborating with him .

However, Shangguan Ru seemed very interested . She was very curious about Lu Ping’s story, but as a woman, she could not allow herself to be too forward . As a result, she was too shy to pose any questions .

“Do you find him attractive? You want me to ask for more information about him?” Han Cong’er, her bestie, saw through her . She joked with Shangguan Ru through holy awareness . Shangguan Ru rolled her eyes at her . Her face flushed .

“Now I’m really interested in having a fight with you . I would like to see the great techniques of a genius swordsman . Do you mind?” Nangong Xing felt threatened . He started to provoke Lu Ping .

Everyone looked toward Lu Ping, waiting for his answer, including Shangguan Ru . Bickering was one thing, but as practitioners, it was inevitable for them to fight . No matter how curious she was about Lu Ping, she certainly would like to see what he had .

Nangong Xing also anticipated her reaction . Before Lu Ping could answer, a strong and threatening fast sword energy swept over . The people there felt like they were swaggering on a wavy sea .

“Powerful!”

Shangguan Ru, Nangong Xing, and the others all turned pale . They felt they had run into a strong enemy . The sword energy was moving toward them!

“They are disciples from the Sword Tower!”

“Lin Tianjian!”

Looking over, they all got as pale as ghosts .

The leader was Lin Tianjian, the apprentice of the headmaster of the Sword Tower . Wearing a neat gray robe, he looked as sharp as an unsheathed sword . He was an awe-inspiring man . With his dashing eyebrows, bright eyes, and prominent nose, it was fair to say he was extremely handsome .

Nangong Xing and the others made way to let him pass . They felt an overwhelming pressure standing opposite him .

“Lu Ping, I didn’t expect you to have the nerve to come,” Lin Tianjian said .

That could almost prove that what they had heard about Lu Ping was all true .

“How would I defeat you if I had not come?” Lu Ping said coldly .

Compared to Nangong Xing’s timidity before Lin Tianjian, Lu Ping’s courage made him stand out . Gritting his teeth, Nangong Xing felt rather conflicted .

Shangguan Ru and Han Cong’er became more interested in Lu Ping . They thought he was an interesting person .

“Dream on . I’ll make you compensate for that sword attack of your master’s with your right arm . ” Lin Tianjian was talking about his father’s hand injured by Wu Ming at the Tian Hu Hostel . He did not take Lu Ping seriously at all . He would have gotten rid of him already if he hadn’t planned to do it during the banquet .

“Is this the man who completed 100 sword movements without being injured? He even looks down on the Sword Tower . “

“He looks quite average . I don’t think Apprentice Elder Brother Tianjian needs to take the trouble of dealing with him . “

The disciples of the Sword Tower all came up .

Meanwhile, they noticed Shangguan Ru, Nangong Xing, and the others standing with Lu Ping . After learning they were not friends of Lu Ping’s, these disciples used some artful wording to make them show their attitudes .

“I don’t like to deal with arrogant people,” Nangong Xing said immediately .

“How arrogant is he?” a disciple of the Sword Tower asked .

“He said the Sword Tower was an annoying place,” Nangong Xing said .

He did say that, but Nangong Xing twisted his words .

“For real?” The disciples of the Sword Tower were irritated .

Lin Tianjian did not stop them . He would rather let things go with the flow .

“Crap, say it again . ” A disciple said . He was the most active guy among the disciples of the Sword Tower .

“I said the disciples of the Sword Tower were annoying,” Lu Ping repeated it again .

“D*mn it!” That disciple put his hand on his sword handle .

“You slandered us of the Sword Tower . Now I’m sure you are a moron . “

“Since my first day in the Sword Pavilion, I’ve been running into disciples from the Sword Tower like you . They are all like you, with no exceptions at all . ” Lu Ping did not think there was anything wrong with what he had said .

“Unsheathe your sword . ” The disciple of the Sword Tower could not calm down . He drew his sword out of the sheath . The sword radiance spread over 1,000 miles .

“Jiang Chen is here!”

At this crucial moment, someone in the distance was heading there at high speed . It turned out this person had bumped into Jiang Chen on his way, so he accelerated secretly so that he could arrive first . He did not have any bad intentions . All he wanted was to be the first person to bring others the news they wanted . It was a pleasant thing for him .

The crowd outside the magic tree went into an uproar . Jiang Chen’s enemy, who was standing at the periphery of the crowd, emitted a surprisingly strong killing will .

“He survived the assassination attempt of a yaksha killer . That Jiang Chen is really tough . ” Someone exclaimed .

“Huh . ” The disciple of the Sword Tower took his sword back . He had to forget about Lu Ping for the moment . “It’s not over yet,” he did not forget to say .

Lin Tianjian said, “You’ll end up the same as that Jiang Chen . “

Lu Ping and Master Luo Cheng both smiled mysteriously at his threat . However, no one noticed that, since Jiang Chen had drawn everyone’s attention .
