Chapter 209: Demon Armor Shatters the Remnant Soul
"Brother Zhang!" An Ran's heart skipped a beat, and in her haste, she only had time to shout a reminder.
"Damn it!"
Seeing that it was too late to stop it, An Ran was filled with regret.
This person was a powerful figure from an unknown era. Even with only a wisp of his remnant soul remaining, he was extremely difficult to deal with. His strength in life was definitely at the second level of the Spirit Heaven Realm!
I just pray that Brother Zhang can hold on.
An Ran was ready; his secret technique was accumulating power within him, ready to be unleashed. If Zhang Ping could hold out for even a moment, he could temporarily seal the remnant soul within Zhang Ping's body.
Although it cannot be cured completely, once I break through to the Divine Realm, I will be able to resolve the future troubles with a higher-level secret technique.
An Ran was filled with a myriad of thoughts, but it was all over in an instant.
He devised various contingency plans at an extremely fast pace.
"Your body is mine now!" The remnant soul roared viciously, grinning as it lunged at Zhang Ping.
Just as he was about to touch Zhang Ping, to everyone's astonishment, layers of black armor began to cover Zhang Ping's body.
Darkness, powerful!
"What kind of power is this?!"
The remnant souls rushed towards them, but were instantly blocked by the shield automatically activated by the demonic armor.
But then Zhang Ping whispered, "Die!"
A thick, black-armored arm with sharp fingertips pierced through the remnant soul!
The next moment, the demonic armor surged with a strange power, instantly absorbing the remnant soul like smoke.
The process was incredibly fast, so fast that even An Ran didn't have time to react. The remnant soul had already vanished.
By the time he realized what was happening, Zhang Ping had already deactivated his Life Armor.
"Let's go."
He didn't say anything, and turned to leave.
An Ran took a deep breath, didn't ask any more questions, and used a storage bag she had obtained from who-knows-where to collect the scattered fragments of the jade bed. Then she used a small green bottle to suck up the four eggs!
It actually sucked four eggs into a palm-sized bottle.
"Hey! You big bad guy, is that guy really your protector? There's something wrong with the power he's using." Julian appeared next to Anran at some point and poked his arm.
"Yes, I'm confident." An Ran nodded, her eyes revealing a deep understanding.
"Let's go, let's get out of here first!"
Upon reaching the cave entrance, Zhang Ping broke through the magma above, creating a passageway.
He turned around and said, "Come on, I'll take you away."
Before An Ran could speak, Yulian grabbed him.
"Hmph! We don't want you to take us."
After saying that, she took out a small boat the size of a palm from her body, threw it into the air, and the small boat quickly enlarged into a four- or five-meter-long flying boat that hovered in the air.
The two leaped up.
"Flying boat?" Zhang Ping couldn't help but take a second look.
He had only been sitting in it for a month, so naturally he recognized it. But that belonged to the Qingdan Immortal Sect; he hadn't expected this mermaid girl to have one too.
Judging from this, the other party's status within the merfolk is probably not low.
Zhang Ping didn't say anything, and protected the two of them as they flew away.
On the way, An Ran thanked Zhang Ping:
"Thank you so much, Brother Zhang, for coming to my rescue. Otherwise, I would have been in danger."
He said this from the bottom of his heart. If it weren't for Zhang Ping, it would have taken who knows how long to resolve that remnant soul. The seal on the ruins was already crumbling due to the volcano's influence, and if it was delayed any longer, problems were bound to arise.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Ping nodded in response, saying, "I was 'entrusted' by your mother, so naturally I must protect you."
He emphasized the word "entrustment," his tone laced with resentment he wanted to vent.
An Ran didn't understand what it meant, only taking it as a feeling that the reward was not enough to cover the risks of this operation. While feeling guilty, she also planned to offer some higher-level inheritances as an exchange at the right time.
Julian, on the other hand, frowned as she piloted the flying boat, occasionally glancing in a certain direction.
The fiery rain in the sky had thinned considerably, streaking across the night like crimson shooting stars. Birds hiding in various places took this opportunity to migrate to distant places.
The air was thick with a pungent smell. Zhang Ping frowned and waved his hand to erect a shield, isolating the three of them.
That made me feel a little better.
Three hours later, they approached the place where the flying boat would dock.
The fiery rain had completely stopped, and dawn was breaking.
The flying boat of the Qingdan Immortal Sect hovered in mid-air, with people flying in and out one after another.
Many people were standing on the edge of the flying boat and happened to see Zhang Ping and his two companions flying towards them.
Among them, the small airship under Julian's feet is particularly attractive.
It was at this moment that Zhang Ping realized that the mermaid girl's lower body had somehow transformed into a human form.
There was nothing abnormal about him, and he didn't have a pungent fishy smell.
This dispelled Zhang Ping's concerns. After all, the merfolk and the humans of Taihu Lake had a deep-seated hatred for each other. Although he didn't know how An Ran had offended them, if the people of Qingdan Immortal Sect saw them...
This is likely to cause trouble.
"We've been waiting for you."
Once aboard the flying boat, Song Shi walked over and looked at An Ran with a smile.
He could sense that An Ran's cultivation had made great progress, but her aura was not weak and her foundation was solid.
After a brief conversation, Song Shi ordered someone to tally the scores of all the trial participants.
As expected, An Ran scored the highest.
He originally had a high score, having killed Xuan Hao and many disciples of the Xuan family, and plundered their points.
Through accumulated efforts, they became the first champion of this trial!
"Would you be willing to join the Azure Elixir Immortal Sect?"
Song Shi stroked his beard, his gaze towards An Ran revealing obvious admiration.
Without hesitation, An Ran cupped his hands in a respectful bow and said, "This humble one is willing!"
"Hmm, not bad." Song Shi nodded, without asking the others.
Anyone who wants to join the Qingdan Immortal Sect will be accepted as long as they have enough points.
As for not wanting to come? Well, that's not so easy to talk to.
Zhang Ping crossed his arms and quietly watched as those who had gained entry to the Qingdan Immortal Sect were filled with excitement and joy, while those who had failed to be selected walked dejectedly to a corner, silently and enviously watching those who had already begun to chat enthusiastically.
Among these people were family members and ordinary people who came from martial arts schools.
There are also martial arts schools in Luhua City, but compared to the ones Zhang Ping experienced back then, the martial arts schools here are more low-key.
Only some commoners without connections send their children to practice Buddhism, and the cost is within their means.
The airship started up.
Embarking on the journey home.
The journey back was much easier than the way there.
During the Song Dynasty, the shields on the flying boats were deliberately weakened, and a gentle breeze blew through the shields, caressing the ears. It wasn't cold; there was a warmth reminiscent of a spring breeze.
The airship had already flown far away. Zhang Ping turned his back to the crowd and looked at the world covered by thick, boundless volcanic clouds.
"Will no one come here for a long time?"
Julian somehow ended up next to Zhang Ping. Although she hated the dark power emanating from Zhang Ping, he had also saved An Ran, her big bad friend.
The girl's eyes were filled with sorrow. Through her gaze, Zhang Ping saw countless dead fish floating on the water, the solidified corpses of living beings on the scorched earth, and a world filled with wailing cries.
Are merfolk kind?
Zhang Ping chuckled silently, perhaps it was the pity that everyone has in their youth.
The airship has completely disappeared into the distance.
The charred continent of Angu will never be seen again.
In the pitch-black expanse of heaven and earth, another being arrived.
The water surged and swept for hundreds of meters.
A stunningly beautiful figure, adorned with a platinum crown. Her slender fish body exudes exquisite beauty.
His flawless face was framed by a gaze that swept across the continent before him.
"The geological disturbances caused by the relics."
She spoke, her voice carrying a beautiful melody.
She picked up the trident in her hand and swung it lightly.
The next moment, the world changed color!
The boundless power dispelled the black volcanic clouds that had covered the sky for countless kilometers, and the sunlight once again shone on the Angu continent.
The marshland obeyed the call and washed over vast scorched land.
After doing all this, she turned to look eastward, her long, wavy hair swaying.
"Did she go to the human world? What a troublesome child."
