The fairy forced me to marry into her family, so I retorted by throwing myself into the Pool of Fate

Mandu narrowed his eyes, a fierce glint flashing within them.

Feng Yuan chuckled coldly, without saying a word.

For a moment, the atmosphere near the reef became tense.

Ma Dao took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, and said coldly, "Li Ping, stop trying to win with your words. Today is your death day."

"Yeah?"

Li Ping smiled, then suddenly pulled out a spirit stone pouch from his pocket and tossed it aside.

The bag landed on the rocks, the opening coming undone, revealing scattered spirit stones inside.

"Look closely, I only have one hundred spirit stones on me." Li Ping shrugged, pointed at the group of people in front of him, and laughed, "If you six split it, it's less than twenty stones each. Ma Dao, you went through all that trouble just for this little bit?"

Upon hearing this, Man Du and Feng Yuan's expressions immediately changed.

"saber!"

"Didn't you say this was a big deal?" Man Du shouted angrily.

Feng Yuan also said in a sinister tone, "Fellow Daoist Ma, this is quite different from what you said before."

Ma Dao cursed inwardly.

He knew Li Ping was good with words, but he didn't expect him to sow discord right from the start.

"Don't listen to his nonsense, gentlemen," Ma Dao quickly explained. "This fellow has definitely hidden his valuables. Let's capture him and interrogate him slowly."

"Hide them?" Li Ping laughed heartily. "Ma Dao, that's a rather pointless question. How many spirit stones could a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator like me possibly have?"

He pointed at Man Du and Feng Yuan, and said loudly, "How much benefit did you promise these two? It's probably more than all my assets, isn't it?"

Man Du and Feng Yuan's expressions grew increasingly grim.

The two exchanged a glance, both seeing the dissatisfaction in each other's eyes.

Seeing this, Ma Dao broke out in a cold sweat and said urgently, "Gentlemen, don't fall for this kid's divisive tactics. Let's take him down first."

"Take me down?" Li Ping said calmly, his hands behind his back. "You're welcome to try."

His confident demeanor made Man Du and Feng Yuan hesitate.

Seeing this, Ma Dao knew that if he delayed any longer, things would definitely change.

He gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "Gentlemen, how about I concede another 50% of the profits we agreed on before?"

Upon hearing this, Man Du and Feng Yuan's eyes flashed with lust.

"One percent," Feng Yuan said calmly.

"you……"

Ma Dao was trembling with anger, but seeing Li Ping's ambiguous, smug look, he ultimately held back.

Let's deal with this kid first.

After a moment's hesitation, he gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, one part done, one part done."

Man Du and Feng Yuan nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this.

"Wouldn't it have been better to do this earlier?"

Mandu grinned, his gaze towards Li Ping filled with murderous intent.

Ma Dao took a deep breath and said coldly, "Make your move."

As soon as the words were spoken, the six figures moved simultaneously.

Ma Dao's three henchmen flanked him from the flank, their talismans gleaming with spiritual light.

Meanwhile, Ma Dao, Man Du, and Feng Yuan each unleashed their magical weapons and charged at them from the front.

Suddenly, the sea surface shimmered with spiritual light, yet was also fraught with deadly intent.

Li Ping, however, simply stood there quietly, without moving.

There was no struggle, no resistance.

Even her eyes slowly closed.

He looked as if he had resigned himself to his fate.

This unusual behavior made the people at the front of the line feel a chill.

One person stopped in their tracks, and the other two also hesitated.

Even the three men with sabers couldn't help but slow down.

For a moment, none of the six dared to step forward.

Li Ping opened his eyes, a sense of foreboding washing over him.

He originally intended to wait until everyone got close before detonating his avatar to give them a big surprise.

But given the current situation, it seems unlikely.

This group of people is being excessively cautious.

As his thoughts raced, Li Ping spoke again, his tone full of sarcasm: "What? Six of you are ganging up on me, and you still don't dare to make a move?"

None of the six answered; they simply stared at Li Ping, scrutinizing him from head to toe.

"Since you don't have any eggs, I'm leaving."

Li Ping shook his head, turned around and left.

His steps were leisurely and unhurried, truly like strolling in a garden.

Ma Dao stared at him with eyes blazing with fury, his heart filled with extreme dissatisfaction.

"What are you all standing there for? Do you really want this kid to get away?"

He shouted loudly and urged them repeatedly.

But neither the three subordinates nor Man Du and Feng Yuan were moved.

Enraged, Ma Dao roared, "What's there to be afraid of in someone at the mid-stage of Qi Refining?"

"Fellow Daoist Ma, since you're in such a hurry, why don't you go first?" Man Du sneered.

Upon hearing this, Ma Dao trembled with rage.

He knew that if he didn't take action now, he would lose all face.

"A bunch of useless trash."

With a curse, Ma Dao flashed away and chased after Li Ping alone.

Man Du and Feng Yuan exchanged a glance, feeling hesitant.

After a moment, Feng Yuan finally couldn't hold back and whispered, "Follow them, don't let Ma Dao take it all by himself."

The two immediately set off, following closely behind.

Li Ping noticed the movement behind him and a smile curled up at the corner of his mouth.

He deliberately sped up, pretending to escape.

Seeing this, the three people behind them no longer had any reservations and were completely relieved.

The three of them suddenly increased their speed and were behind Li Ping in the blink of an eye.

"Trying to run away?"

Ma Dao grinned maliciously and activated his magical weapon to strike first.

Man Du and Feng Yuan were not to be outdone, each employing their own methods.

Three attacks came simultaneously from three directions.

Just as the attack was about to strike, Li Ping suddenly stopped.

He turned around, looked at the three of them, and gave them a meaningful smile.

Boom!

A deafening roar.

A colossal wave erupted on the sea, its blinding white light illuminating the surrounding area as if it were daytime.

The magic power, compressed to its limit, was released in full at this moment, its power far exceeding everyone's expectations.

The defensive measures hastily implemented by the three men with the saber were torn apart instantly, like paper.

The three of them were sent flying backwards like kites with broken strings, spitting out mouthfuls of blood.

Ma Dao was closest to the wound and was the most seriously injured. His clothes were torn to shreds and his chest was covered in blood and gore.

Man Du was a little further away from Feng Yuan, but he was also in a sorry state, his face as pale as paper.

After a long while, the sea returned to darkness.

The sound of surging waves carried away the stench of blood with the sea breeze.

Ma Dao's three men stood frozen in place, staring at the sea that had just been blindingly white, unable to recover for a long time.

died?

He just died like that?

The person who was just chatting and laughing a moment ago has suddenly revealed himself?

The three looked at each other, their eyes filled with shock and confusion.

"This..." one of them swallowed hard, and said with difficulty, "Why would he do this?"

No one could answer.

Another person whispered, "Perhaps knowing they couldn't escape, they decided to take a few down with them?"

Upon hearing this, the three fell even more silent.

His life as a cultivator was filled with danger and bloodshed; he was used to life and death.

Such fierceness is rare.

Especially the man's decisiveness and composure.

This is something that even an enemy should admire.

The three looked into the distance and cautiously approached.

Ma Dao, Man Du, and Feng Yuan were seen floating on the sea, all dressed in tattered clothes and looking utterly disheveled.
