Junior sister, keep forbear for a while, I almost become invincible as soon!-Chapter 696 - 695: Ping the Greatest

If people from the Southern Diaspora were here, they would surely say, "Look quickly! Chen Pingping is about to make a move against the Divine Clan."

But in Huangzhou, everyone looked astonished. Who is that guy? Does the Zhang Family have such a young man? Isn't he too bold? What is he trying to do?

The Zhang Family had so many powerful individuals: over fifty at the Great Saint Realm, three to five in the Quasi-Emperor Realm, and even Emperor Weapons for defense, along with all sorts of powerful foundations. Yet, since the Divine Clan invasion began, several hours had passed. Ancient Divine Skills were about to cover the entire region. The high-ranking members of the Zhang Family had not made a move, which clearly indicated their lack of confidence in facing this terrifying slaughter. So? What good would it do for just one young man to step forward?

But Zhang Ziyu was very excited. "Look quickly! That's my second brother, my Ping! He's going to take action!"

If Chen Pingping heard this, he would definitely want to slap him. Shut up!

He was also panicking. Beyond that, he had to contend with the strange voice inside him, afraid that he might be possessed if he wasn't careful.

After pondering for quite a while without understanding, Chen Pingping regained his composure and exhaled deeply. "I must be sick!"

The crowd: "..."

"Awesome! Just awesome! My Ping even dares to say he's sick..." Zhang Ziyu was still very thrilled.

A group of high-ranking Zhang Family members were immediately dumbfounded. At that moment, they began to question their earlier thoughts and judgments. Is Zhang Ziyu really the Sword Immortal's Successor? The renowned ancestor of the Human Clan, the First Swordsman—how could he choose such a disciple? Is something not quite right?

「Atop a mountain.」

Alan wanted to laugh. "Why do I feel like he's being forced to do this?"

Liu Changqing nodded. "Your feeling is correct."

Cang Yun slightly opened his mouth. "Really? This kid is so powerful in combat; doesn't he have any conviction in his stance?"

"His stance is with his little junior sister," Liu Changqing said after thinking for a moment. "But the Divine Clan hasn't touched his little junior sister."

The truth was revealed.

The Divine Clan had come forcefully, intending to unearth the great tomb. But the whole process had nothing to do with Chen Pingping, so he didn't want to make a move. It was just that deep inside him, there was always that one voice. It's too weird.

"I want to make one thing clear: I have no interest in the Sword Immortal Heritage, or the Human Emperor's heritage, or anything inside that great tomb," Chen Pingping said, blinking.

"Ping, me too! Me as well!" Zhang Ziyu cried out from below.

The leadership was somewhat perplexed. You, the Son of the Fate Energy, always hold your head high, looking down on everyone with an air of superiority. Who can compare to you? Now, why are you suddenly speaking in favor of someone of unknown origin?

Zhang Luoshan tugged at his sleeve. "Ziyu, what's going on?"

"Stay cool, Luoshan..." Zhang Ziyu chuckled. "That's my Ping. He came with me to Huangzhou this time for the Lord Human Emperor."

"So?"

"Ping is bluffing the Divine Clan, feigning withdrawal as a lure... uh, no, it should be called a distraction tactic!" he said with certainty. "Ping's cleverness is unmatched. Except for my big brother, no one else compares."

Yes! That's the way it is.

On this trip back to Huangzhou, besides looking for the Emperor of Medicine, my main goal is to make Chen Pingping comfortable. That way, he'll have an even bigger chance to win over Yue Wuxia.

"..."

Heavens! Zhang Luoshan felt like slapping him to death.

A few Elders looked at each other in surprise, but considering the unusual situation, they refrained from commenting. Furthermore, the Zhang Family needed to deal with the slaughter by the Divine Clan. That was the priority.

"Ziyu, have you ever considered that your Ping may not be creating a diversion, but is, in fact, hiding a dagger behind his smile?" an Elder said gravely.

"Where did that come from?" Zhang Ziyu was stunned.

"If he didn't want to confront the Divine Clan, why would he step out? Therefore... he must be using words to distract the Divine Clan's attention to achieve a certain goal."

"That makes sense."

"Do you want to help him?"

"Of course."

"Now there's a chance..." The Elder smiled. "Take the resources the Sword Immortal gave you and charge forward!"

Zhang Ziyu: "???"

"I assume his goal is the Goddess. Think about it: if such a lofty existence as the Goddess is captured, wouldn't that deter the entire Divine Clan?" the Elder said approvingly. "From this, you can see that your Ping is a young man with ideals and ambition!"

Hearing this, Zhang Ziyu was taken aback. Although it felt off, when he thought about it carefully, it wasn't without reason... Chen Pingping has entered the battle. Chen Pingping is beginning to 'hide a dagger behind his smile,' with the primary goal of capturing the Goddess. That's it! He's still single; he's probably taken a fancy to the Goddess!

As he thought about it, Zhang Ziyu suddenly became invigorated. "Worthy of Ping! He wants to use the Goddess to deeply shame the Divine Clan and even repel their entire assault! I get it!"

The Elder who had been brainwashing him was ready to further his argument, never expecting this Son of the Fate Energy to have an epiphany out of nowhere. He actually understood? What did he understand? The Elder was confused. But seeing Zhang Ziyu's excited expression, he became silent. Well, as long as he "understands," that's good enough. Go, great Sword Immortal's Successor! Drag that young man into the mess—oh, my mistake... let him fight for the Human Clan!

Behind them, an Elder whispered, "One hour."

The Zhang Family wasn't inactive; they had been trying to awaken their ancestors who slumbered through the ages. But with the Great Divine Power of the Divine Clan soon to cover the entire sky, time weighed heavily on them. Under the current circumstances, they could only let these young people cause a commotion, divert the Divine Clan's attention, and buy some time.

The aged Clan Leader glanced at the Elder but said nothing.

At that moment, Zhang Wu suddenly spoke, "I want to go into battle! I want to challenge the Goddess!"

He had just received news that Zhang Heng had died in battle. Rage immediately ignited in his heart, his killing intention unconcealed. But a large, calloused hand pressed heavily on his shoulder.

「At this very moment!」

The Sword Immortal's Successor was contemplating how to launch a sneak attack on the Goddess, ideally knocking her unconscious in one strike and then taking her away. Later on, I'll let Chen Pingping duel her on Mount Hua and deeply shame the Divine Clan!

"I have no interest in the Sword Immortal Heritage or the Human Emperor's heritage. I've never thought about touching these things in my life..."

"As everyone knows, I'm just a minor cultivator. The only reason I'm here is because I just woke up and thought a God had descended, so I hurriedly rushed out," said Chen Pingping solemnly.

Quite interesting. Wang Lin'er giggled softly, listening to Chen Pingping's "heartfelt" words, each sentence seemingly sincere. If she hadn't been overpowered by him in the inn just moments ago, she might have actually believed him. So?

She moved lightly, walking towards him. Her body emanated a barely visible Divine Brilliance, and a powerful Divine Might burst forth like molten lava, surging overwhelmingly forward.

"No matter your purpose or background, today you will die," she said indifferently.

There were two reasons to kill him. First, as the exalted Goddess, no one had ever defeated her since her birth. Yet, this man in front of her had ambushed her in the inn. Though it wasn't considered a true combat victory, it was exceptionally humiliating for her. Second, his existence was an unpredictable variable that could ruin the grand strategy laid out by the Divine Clan.

Wang Lin'er extended her delicate hand, about to unleash her Divine Skills. Suddenly, a Sword Dao attack struck from behind her.

It was simple and unadorned, yet heavy, vast, sharp, and terrifying. In an instant, the sword pierced through her body, leaving a large, bloody hole. But strangely, the golden blood that should have flowed out solidified in the next moment.

Everyone was shocked. Who did that? They all looked in the direction from which the Sword Dao strike had come and saw Zhang Ziyu, who had made the move. The fellow wore a sleazy smirk. But his strike shocked everyone; it was the Son of the Fate Energy!

That's right! This guy's cultivation was based on Fate Energy; almost nothing he did ever led to danger.

Zhang Ziyu hurriedly dashed into the sky and struck with his sword again. "Ping, I get it!"

What do you get? What did you "get" again? Chen Pingping was also surprised by the strike. The woman before him, a Saint King, looked tough to deal with, while Zhang Ziyu was only in the Saint Realm. How could his casual sword strike penetrate Wang Lin'er?

"You want her!" Zhang Ziyu exclaimed excitedly. "I'm coming! I'll help you suppress the Goddess!"

Chen Pingping: "..."

"Your 'hiding a dagger behind your smile' tactic is truly brilliant! You successfully caught the Goddess's attention and created an opportunity for me to severely injure her! HA HA HA... I didn't expect people of the Divine Clan to be so foolish!" Zhang Ziyu strode across the sky, his right hand tightly grasping a Sacred Soldier, his left hand holding a black box. He was very confident, extremely confident. It seemed he had remembered again that he was a Son of the Fate Energy.

Zhang Ziyu continued, "Anyone wounded by the Sword Dao of the Sword Immortal Heritage will either die or be gravely injured! Ping, she's about to cough up blood and won't last much longer!"

But before he could finish his sentence, the bloody hole on Wang Lin'er's body began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

She lifted the corners of her mouth, looking at Zhang Ziyu with a smirk.

Zhang Ziyu stiffened and hesitantly opened his mouth. "Ping, I just remembered I have something else to deal with! You go ahead and keep busy!"
