Chapter 441 The Strange Soul-Guiding Pyramid

Seeing the bone spurs flying towards him like a storm, Chen Ping fiercely swung his Star Tumor Staff, creating a dense and impenetrable barrier in front of him.

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang."

In an instant, the sharp but not pointed bone spurs were all blocked and shattered by Chen Ping's rapidly spinning staff. This unfamiliar blocking method made the three of them feel even more that Chen Ping was difficult to deal with.

Chen Ping glanced at Gu Lipa in front of him, then turned to look at Ning Dashan and Chen Nian on either side, and immediately noticed something strange.

All three of them had a triangular pendant hanging from their waists, just like the one worn by Ning Junping, the sect leader of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School. Or, it would be more accurate to describe this small pendant as a triangular pyramid or a tetrahedron.

This pyramid-shaped pendant is only the size of a palm and is semi-transparent.

However, if Chen Ping focused a little, he could see that each face of the tetrahedron seemed to have water-like patterns. It was very similar to the core array of a soul tool, but it was completely different from the straight and horizontal core array that Chen Ping had learned.

Strange, is this an ornament that everyone in the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School has, or is it some kind of soul tool for self-defense?
Chen Ping thought to himself that it was strange. If this thing was an ornament, there was no reason why Ning Junping and the three disciples of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School in front of him would all be carrying it. But if it was a soul tool for self-defense, Ning Tian and Wu Feng should each have one.

While keeping a watchful eye on the strange equipment around the three men's waists, Chen Ping beckoned to them, signaling them to come forward if they wanted.

Clearly, even just hearing their surnames, Chen Ping had already completely guessed their martial souls.

Being able to face the descendants of Sword Dao Chen Xin and Bone Douluo Gu Rong, plus a Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Soul Master who had cultivated a body, Chen Ping felt a surge of pride.

"You bastard, you're incredibly arrogant! Take this Wind and Thunder Axe!"

Ning Dashan took a heavy step on the martial arts stage, splashing large amounts of water droplets from the pits in the bluestone ground. His original posture of holding the level-six melee soul tool Wind and Thunder Hammer with one hand changed to holding it with both hands after he put away the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

Immediately afterwards, the hammerhead of the Thunder Hammer emitted a sound like a mechanism turning, and an extremely sharp axe blade emerged from one end of the hammerhead, gleaming with a cold light.

Wow, this equipment even has a second stage?

Before Chen Ping could finish his surprise, Gu Lipa and Chen Nian, whose bone spurs had been completely blocked, attacked him from both sides.

As the Seven Kills Sword emerged from his body, its blade pierced the air, a sharpness that, in Chen Ping's view, was in no way inferior to the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear he had faced years ago, emanated from his back.

At the same time, Gu Li, who was a full two and a half meters tall in front of Chen Ping, was no pushover either. His purple thousand-year soul ring flashed, and the area around his head became illusory, as if a huge skull was covering Gu Li's head.

The skeleton was very strange; it looked to be at least two meters long, over one meter tall, and more than one and a half meters wide.

Only when it opens its mouth wide can one see that it actually resembles the skull of a giant dragon!

"Roar————————" A deafening dragon roar erupted from the giant mouth of the illusory skeletal dragon head. It was a roar that carried a terrifying sound wave and a strong dragon's might. Not only was it extremely fast, but it could also easily immobilize the enemy in place, making them unable to move.

With the Seven Kills unleashed and the Bone Dragon roaring, it was clear that the two in front of them had an absolutely top-notch teamwork. This combination of one strong attacker, one controller, and one support looked quite similar to the team Chen Ping and Ning Tianwu Feng had teamed up back then, and perhaps even better.

After all, Ning Tian isn't a mage, and it's impossible for a support-type Soul Master to wield a melee Soul Guidance Warhammer and engage in hand-to-hand combat. From this perspective, their team's combat strength is clearly greater.

However, just when Gulipa and Chennian thought that Chen Ping was nothing special and was about to become another loser under the combined efforts of the two brothers, Gulipa met Chen Ping's calm eyes, which were as calm as the edge of a still lake.

"wandering."

As these two words, so plain as to sound like a simple "good morning," appeared beneath Chen Ping's feet, four spirit rings in a proportion far beyond what ordinary people could comprehend.

Chen Nian's sword, seemingly determined to strike, pierced Chen Ping without any resistance, leaving behind only a few barely perceptible snowflakes and Gu Li's wide-eyed, terrified look, as if his good brother was about to kill him for the greater good.

Fortunately, Chen Nian's Seven Kill Sword was, after all, a martial spirit rather than a soul tool, which meant he could control it at will. Without diminishing the sword's momentum, he directly recalled the Seven Kill Sword back into his body, thus avoiding accidentally injuring his good brother.

"careful!"

Ning Dashan seemed to see something at that moment, and immediately shouted at Chen Nian and Gu Lipa.

Before Chen Nian could react, Chen Ping had already appeared behind him. Without even using his martial spirit, he delivered a solid slap, like a steel whip, to Chen Nian's back!
"Ugh."

At this moment, Chen Ping's brute strength, which was no less than that of a seven-ring Soul Saint in terms of pure power, made it almost effortless for him to deal with Soul Master opponents of the same level as himself. With just a single palm strike using pure brute force, he made Chen Nian's eyes roll back, and after letting out a miserable scream, he fell asleep.

Chen Ping shook his head inwardly. This guy's purity was far lower than that of Ji Juechen, that martial arts fanatic.

If Ji Juechen were to use that move again, the opponent would definitely hold back at least three-tenths of his strength when he strikes, just in case he has enough strength left to defend against his subsequent attacks after he sidesteps and parries the thrust.

Chen Nian, on the other hand, clearly hasn't realized this yet. It can only be said that he hasn't suffered enough losses. Once the misunderstanding is cleared up later, he can find an opportunity to hand this kid over to Ji Juechen for guidance. He'll be guaranteed to improve his skill level rapidly within a month.

Of course, all of this is on the premise that this guy named Chen Nian has a strong enough mind and doesn't break his Dao heart at the drop of a hat.

After all, Ji Juechen, who had been fighting for almost ten days straight in the undead demiplane and was getting more and more excited as he fought, was already a martial arts fanatic in Chen Ping's eyes, not a sword fanatic.

"Damn it, take another swing of my axe!"

Less than three seconds into the battle, one of his teammates went offline at lightning speed. Before anyone could react, Ning Dashan charged toward Chen Ping, grabbing the Wind and Thunder Axe in one hand and throwing his Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul into the air. Beams of buff light continuously fell toward himself and Gu Lipa, who was not far away.
