Chapter 151 Sword Reaches the Realm of Simplicity

Ji Pingyang unleashed a sword strike!

Compared to Sword King's sword, which seemed capable of splitting the heavens and earth, Ji Pingyang's sword was simplicity itself.

There were no dazzling sword shadows, no terrifying aura, just a simple slash with the Kunwu Sword.

Yet, facing this sword, Sword King felt an immense danger! His instincts screamed a warning: this sword would kill him!

*Tear!*

Ji Pingyang's plain sword seemed to rip through a canvas, tearing through Sword King's sword along with it.

Sword King's attack was directly melted away by Ji Pingyang's sword!

"Pfft!"

Sword King spat out a mouthful of blood and knelt on the ground. A horrifying sword wound appeared on his chest, and through the opening, one could even see the throbbing heart beneath his ribs.

"Returning to simplicity! Your swordplay has actually reached the realm of returning to simplicity!"

Sword King's eyes were filled with disbelief. Returning to simplicity? Wasn't that a legendary realm? Ji Pingyang had actually achieved it!

The diminutive Sword King's face was filled with terror. It was too fast! Ji Pingyang's sword of returning to simplicity was so fast that he couldn't even see it!

His eyes were full of resentment. Three years ago, he had narrowly lost to Ji Pingyang by a single move, but three years later, he couldn't even see Ji Pingyang's sword anymore!

This immense disparity was unacceptable to him.

After dealing with Sword King, Ji Pingyang finally untied Fang Biao Zhi from the tree.

"Mayor Fang, are you alright? What about Qiao Yu and the others?" Ji Pingyang's tone was filled with concern.

"D-don't worry! I've arranged for Qiao Yu and the others to be taken to an extremely safe place!" The dying Fang Biao Zhi forced a smile.

"Hoo!"

Ji Pingyang breathed a sigh of relief. He hadn't arrived too late after all.

"It's good that they're safe. Mayor Fang, don't speak for now, I'll take you for treatment!"

He carried Fang Biao Zhi on his shoulders, then turned and unleashed a sword strike, targeting Wood King and Sword King.

Having become the number one sword cultivator in the Inner World, Ji Pingyang was naturally not a hesitant or overly kind saint. If they needed to be killed, then they had to be killed!

However, just as he struck with his sword, something completely unexpected happened: the Fang Biao Zhi on his back suddenly stabbed him with a knife!

Ji Pingyang's reaction was extremely fast. His slash instantly changed into an upward thrust, sending the Fang Biao Zhi on his body flying.

"You're not Fang Biao Zhi! Who are you!" Ji Pingyang's gaze was grave. Immediately afterward, he felt his vision blurring.

Poison!

There was poison on the knife!

But at his level, what kind of poison could affect him? Could it be a poison-type mage of his level?

"Hehe, of course he's not Fang Biao Zhi. He's Painting King!"

Sword King grinned sinisterly, his face revealing a smug smile.

Painting King's eyes also revealed a hint of malice. He and Sword King had gone to great lengths to kill Fang Biao Zhi, and then for him to transform into Fang Biao Zhi's appearance, all for the sake of ambushing Ji Pingyang and gaining the upper hand.

Immediately afterward, several figures emerged from the shadows. Ji Pingyang's expression became extremely grave with just one glance.

Sword King, Hammer King, Painting King, Wood King, Poison King, Gambling King, Fire King, Shadow King.

The gathering of the Eight Kings here meant only one thing: this whole thing was a trap set against him from the very beginning!

"Ji Pingyang, next year on this day, it will be your death anniversary! I want to avenge my previous grudge!" Hammer King Huang Hua Yu once again raised his great hammer!

First ambushed by Painting King, then poisoned by Poison King, he believed that Ji Pingyang would definitely be unable to escape this time.

He could still feel the faint pain in his waist. Even though it had been reattached, the extreme pain of being bisected was still present in his mind.

"Hehe... you eight scheming bastards think you can kill me, Ji Pingyang? Wishful thinking!"

Ji Pingyang's aura suddenly erupted, like a towering war god. His sword-like eyes were even more piercing, as if they could pierce through the hearts of men.

This terrifying aura made it seem as if he hadn't been injured at all!

"How is this possible? He's been poisoned by me, how can he still unleash such terrifying power?" Poison King's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.

"What are you afraid of! Even if Ji Pingyang is strong, he's only at level 70 at most! No one can reach level 71, that's already a consensus in the Inner World!"

Huang Hua Yu's face revealed a cruel expression. If there was anyone present who hated Ji Pingyang the most, it was him, aside from Sword King, who had almost died by Ji Pingyang's sword.

Levels 40-50 were King Rank, 50-60 were Emperor Rank, and 60-70 were Saint Rank!

And level 70 was the highest level that could be reached in the Inner World!

"Then let's give it a try!" Ji Pingyang attacked ferociously.

He was only forcibly suppressing the poison in his body with his strength. He had to make a quick decision!

"Sword Pierces the Rainbow!"

The power of the same move used by Ma Fei and Ji Pingyang was completely incomparable.

Countless terrifying sword intents descended from the sky, as if a rainbow composed of sword intents had fallen from the heavens!

This move directly enveloped all eight kings! The eight kings also immediately launched a counterattack.

"Flame Burst God Hammer!"

Accompanied by Huang Hua Yu's hammer swinging, a terrifying flame burst roared out like a volcanic eruption.

The other seven kings also attacked one after another, colliding with Ji Pingyang's move.

However, a terrifying scene occurred!

Ji Pingyang, fighting eight opponents alone, was not at a disadvantage at all! On the contrary, he even seemed to have the upper hand!

*Rumble!*

The chaotic forces mixed together and exploded in the middle, blasting the eight kings away with blood spurting from their mouths.

Ji Pingyang grunted, but his entire person was like a sharp sword unsheathed, firmly rooted in place.

In this collision, Ji Pingyang had actually won!

"How is this possible!!!" Sword King's eyes were filled with disbelief.

The eight kings and Ji Pingyang were all existences of the Saint Rank. They were clearly at the same level, so why could Ji Pingyang suppress them when fighting eight against one?

What's more, they had ambushed and injured Ji Pingyang first!

Even though they were both at the Saint Rank, could there really be such a big difference?

"White Boss, why aren't you making a move? How long are you going to wait?" Sword King couldn't help but shout into the shadows.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Sword King was sent flying as if he had been hit by a train, smashing into a wooden house next to him.

"What? Are you teaching me what to do?"

Bai Shi Yan slowly walked out.

The moment Ji Pingyang saw Bai Shi Yan, his muscles instantly tensed up!

The sense of danger this man gave him was even stronger than the eight kings combined!

"White Boss, I wouldn't dare... it's just that we really can't beat Ji Pingyang."

Sword King's face turned red as he crawled out of the ruins of the wooden house, not knowing if it was from humiliation or from being beaten by Bai Shi Yan.

"I was originally planning to have you exhaust him a bit more so that I could save some effort, but what a pity."

Bai Shi Yan shook his head, then changed the subject.

"But it's normal that you can't beat this man. His realm has long surpassed the Saint Rank!"

"What?!" x8

The eight kings exclaimed in unison. Wasn't the highest realm in the Inner World only the Saint Rank? How could it be surpassed?

Ji Pingyang also frowned when he heard this. When did he surpass the Saint Rank? How come he didn't know?

Ever since reaching level 70, no matter how much experience he gained, his level couldn't increase even slightly.

Bai Shi Yan shook his head, but didn't intend to explain to this group of people.

It wasn't that the highest realm in the Inner World was the Saint Rank, but that in this entire universe, only the strength of the Saint Rank could be exerted. The reason for all this was because of the seal on Kaiji Star.

No one knew what kind of person had set up this seal, but its power was extremely terrifying. It forcibly cut Kaiji Star off from the universe, and even affected the laws of this universe.

Even gods like Thanatos and Hypnos could only exert the strength of the Saint Rank when they entered here. Otherwise, with their strength, slaughtering the entire Kaiji Star would only be a piece of cake.

Before the first layer of the seal was broken, Kaiji Star was even more of a place where all beings were equal. Even gods would only be ordinary people here.

Moreover, this seal could only be broken from the inside. Unless one possessed the bloodline of a native Kaiji Star resident, any attempt to destroy the seal would be directly obliterated!

Even Bai Shi Yan himself felt as small as an ant when facing that seal.

If not for this, he wouldn't have cooperated with the elders of God Mountain.

More than ten years ago, Qiao An Qing accidentally opened a passage to outside Kaiji Star.

More than ten years later, the first layer of the seal was broken by the elders of God Mountain working together.

Bai Shi Yan believed that it was only a matter of time before the seal was completely unlocked.

Before that, Bai Shi Yan had to get rid of some people who were in the way, so as not to affect his plan.

For example... Ji Pingyang in front of him!
