Sword Emperor

"This is a safe place that I have painstakingly searched for hundreds of thousands of years before I was lucky enough to find it.    

For a long period of time, there has never been any strange evil beings that detected the activity here. There will definitely not be any accidents. "    

The moment these words left his mouth, another heaven-shaking, earth-shattering sound rang out. The surrounding space continued to distort.    

Looking around, one could see that the vortex, which had been spinning continuously, had now started to crack ferociously. It looked as if it could shatter at any time.    

Looking out through those cracks, many sinister and terrifying black gases continued to spread.    

Needless to say, it was obvious that those strange evil creatures had already chased him here.    

Instantly, he could see that Ping Peng's brows were tightly knitted. Then, as if he had thought of something, his expression became extremely ugly as he continued to urge:    

"Fellow Daoist, all of you should run away as soon as possible. This isn't a simple gathering of evil beings. It's obvious that the mastermind has made a move."    

The instant they heard this, Sun Bing and the others' facial expression changed, especially Black Tortoise who couldn't help but speak.    

"Why do you say so?"    

"Because ordinary evil creatures are powerful, but they only have instincts and no intelligence.    

It is because of this that I am able to stay safe and sound for tens of billions of years here."    

Bing Peng's expression was incomparably gloomy as he continued.    

"But back then, I was caught off guard for a moment and exposed some traces which were traced by the person behind the scenes.    

At that time, even though I had the aura of an evil being on me, I was still driven mad by them, so I could only flee in panic.    

This time, it lasted for a hundred thousand years. After they confirmed that I was not a threat, they finally stopped."    

A simple sentence was enough to make one's heart ache. Sun Bing and the others had only been chased and intercepted for a few days, and their lives were in danger.    

The other party had persisted for a hundred thousand years. It could be imagined how many dangers they had encountered.    

And the thing that gave Sun Bing and the others the greatest headache was that the person behind him had attacked.    

After all, at this moment, they were in the open, and the enemy was in the dark. It was really somewhat difficult to deal with.    

Many thoughts flashed across their minds. After that, Sun Bing and the others flew away like a ray of light before the whirlpool shattered.    

When they left the vortex, an incomparably terrifying force descended upon them.    

The pitch-black vortex collapsed inch by inch and disappeared from their sight in the blink of an eye.    

Seeing this, Bing Peng's face was filled with sorrow.    

After all, the reason why this vortex was able to resist the endless resentful souls in the surroundings was because it was actually formed by souls.    

The biggest difference between it and the resentful souls was that one side was filled with resentful souls, while the other side was filled with normal battle soul. It did not want to harm others, and it even had a certain protection effect.    

This scene might appear to be merely the destruction of a vortex, but it was actually the disappearance of the countless number of battle souls that had constructed the vortex.    

After understanding the inside story, the expressions of Sun Bing and the others were extremely gloomy. They were even more resentful towards the person behind the scene.    

However, the current situation was grim, and it wasn't the time to counterattack. Therefore, they could only forcefully suppress the fury in their hearts and continue speeding forward.    

Once, under the siege of so many evil beings, Ping Peng was able to flee in panic for a hundred thousand years.    

Now, even if he brought Sun Bing and the others to retreat, it wouldn't be a difficult matter.    

Furthermore, he didn't give up as he was advancing. He kept transmitting his voice to Sun Bing and the others, informing them about the situation in the Soul-Breaking River.    

After a while of speeding, they arrived at another whirlpool.    

At this moment, Bing Peng's face was filled with anxiety. After taking a long breath, he spoke.    

"Fellow Daoist, I have told you everything I know. Next, I will lure them away.    

As for the rest of the way, you can only rely on yourselves."    

After hearing these words, Black Tortoise and the others were shocked. No one knew better than them what these words meant.    

Even though Bing Peng could live here for tens of billions of years, this was built on the fact that he posed no threat to the Soul-Breaking River.    

If Sun Bing and the others successfully retreated with his help, it could be imagined how furious the mastermind would be.    

At that time, even if Bing Peng's concealment technique was very powerful, he would still be hunted down by the enemy at all costs.    

Under such a siege, the outcome of Bing Peng could be imagined.    

Everyone opened their mouths, seemingly wanting to say something, but in the end, they were completely unable to say anything.    

Because without the assistance of the other party, wanting to enter the Absolute Soul River Bottom was simply an extravagant hope.    

After a long sigh, it was still Sun Bing who spoke.    

"Fellow Daoist, there is no need to thank me for this great kindness. I see that you have not fallen, and I can help you get rid of the contamination in your body. What do you think?"    

However, Bing Peng shook his head and seemed very carefree.    

"I am still in the Soul-Breaking River. If I recover hastily, I will be attacked by countless resentful souls. On the contrary, I will be like a fish in water.    

It wouldn't be too late for me to recover when the few Fellow Daoist broke the Soul-Breaking River and freed me.    

Fellow Daoist, I'll go!    

We'll meet again!"    

As soon as he finished speaking, he could see Bing Peng turning around and speeding away.    

Most importantly, there were a few familiar figures behind him. They were Sun Bing and the others.    

No matter if it was their appearance, cultivation base, or even their Qi, they were all exactly the same as Sun Bing and the others.    

If it wasn't for the fact that everyone was standing where they were and could see each other, they would have thought that the figures behind Bing Peng were the real them.    

Just as Sun Bing was feeling puzzled, Black Tortoise's voice slowly sounded.    

"Although Bing Peng likes to sleep, his strength is not to be underestimated. He is especially proficient in the Great Dao of Creation.    

Those are the puppets he fabricated based on our appearance and aura.    

Apart from the difference in physical strength and the lack of spiritual soul, he is like a real living creature. Even the Lord of a New Era is unable to detect the difference. "    

As soon as he finished speaking, deep and low voices could be heard continuously.    

Immediately after that, many strange evil beings rushed over in a formidable manner. The strange and cold aura kept spreading in all directions, making it extremely eerie.    

However, these evil creatures didn't pay any attention to Sun Bing and the others in the vortex. Instead, they chased after the barrier.    

Apparently, just like what Black Tortoise had said, these evil creatures and the dark hand behind the scene didn't notice anything unusual at all.    

Such a change made Sun Bing and the others heave a long sigh of relief. Then, they spoke with solemn expressions.    

"We can't waste the effort that Fellow Daoist put in. No matter what, we have to succeed."
