Chapter 660 The Great Destruction of the Lotus Palace
Lin Ping was not surprised that Chu Zhifeng would make such a decision.
He was a smart man who knew how to assess the situation. Since the Lotus Palace was doomed, there was no need to fight to the death. He might even be able to profit from this battle.
"Chu Zhifeng, are you going to betray Lotus Palace?" Mei Jiecao said through gritted teeth, clearly intending to clean house.
"Senior Brother Mei, you're exaggerating. I'm protecting Lotus Palace; you're the ones pushing it to the brink of destruction," Chu Zhifeng replied with a cold laugh, showing no fear of Mei Jiecao's threat.
"Very well, I'd like to see how you're going to explain this to the Palace Master."
Upon hearing the name "Palace Master," Chu Zhifeng trembled slightly, feeling somewhat flustered.
Lin Ping noticed his panic and became more cautious.
"Chu Zhifeng is a master of the Red Lotus Realm, yet he is so afraid of the Lotus Palace Master?" To be honest, Lin Ping was having second thoughts.
"Senior Brother Mei, why waste words with them? Let's kill this brat first!" Tang Jianshan said imperiously.
In his eyes, Lin Ping was a hopeless case, someone who never learned his lesson even after being tricked by him once.
"Disciples of the Enforcement Hall, listen to my command! Follow me to kill Lin Ping!" Mei Jiecao was already filled with murderous intent; after all, he had never witnessed the power of a crossbow combined with a bomb.
Dozens of Lotus Palace disciples hesitated, but in the end they still extended their longswords towards Lin Ping.
At the same time, Tang Jianshan also led a group of disciples from Beidou Peak to launch an attack on Lin Ping.
"You, Tang Jianshan, you really don't learn your lesson!" Lin Ping sneered, while hundreds of crossbowmen behind him aimed at the two of them, but did not stop the ordinary disciples.
"A crossbow? Hmph! A mere trifle!" Mei Jiecao scoffed at the rapidly approaching crossbow.
He is a top expert in the Red Lotus Realm, how could he be afraid of some ordinary weapons?
To demonstrate his strength, he didn't even dodge or evade, nor did he use his longsword to defend himself.
"Star Catcher!"
With a soft shout, Mei Jiecao's hands moved rapidly, leaving only afterimages in the air.
Whoosh whoosh!
The sound of Mei Jiecao's hands drowned out the sound of the crossbow bolts. When he stopped, he was holding a large handful of crossbow bolts in each hand.
"Hahaha, your junk can't beat me," Mei Jiecao laughed arrogantly.
"Senior brother, be careful! Quickly throw away the crossbow bolts!" Tang Jianshan shouted hoarsely.
But he was too late; the bombs strapped to the arrowheads had already ignited.
"Huh? Why is that arrowhead on fire?" Mei Jiecao was full of curiosity; he was certain this was the most beautiful fireworks he had ever seen in his life...
Bang bang bang!
The bombs exploded one after another, and Major Cao's arms were blown off, his face was burned, and he lay on the ground rolling around, practically dead.
The first master of Lotus Palace was completely defeated by Lin Ping. It was a miracle that he survived; he would never be able to lift a sword again.
"Mei Jie Cao, our feud is over. Whether you live or die is entirely up to fate," Lin Ping said calmly.
He didn't have any deep-seated hatred for Mei Jiecao; it was just that their positions were different, and they had to fight to the death.
At the same time, Tang Jianshan was also blown away, and the white bone of one of his legs was exposed, which would have left him disabled.
The two men's miserable state terrified all the disciples of Lotus Palace. They were at most at the Black Lotus Realm, how could they possibly withstand the attack of the crossbow?
"Anyone who takes another step forward, don't blame me for disregarding our camaraderie." Lin Ping's voice was icy cold, startling everyone.
They listened attentively, first looking at Lin Ping, then exchanging glances, unsure of what to do.
"Lin Ping, prepare to die!"
Just then, two more experts rushed over; they were Mo Youying and Feng Wuhua.
These days, they were ordered to integrate the disciples of the Lotus Palace. They thought they could easily kill Lin Ping, but they never expected this outcome.
They had a deep-seated grudge against Lin Ping, to the point of being irreconcilable. Even though they knew they were no match for him, they were determined to fight to the death.
"Knowing you'll die, you still want to kill me?" Lin Ping raised his eyes and muttered to himself, "You do have some guts, so I'll grant your wish."
shhhhhh!
A dense rain of arrows came straight at them, completely blocking their path.
They had nowhere to hide or avoid, and their only option was to use their longswords to defend themselves. However, when the longswords came into contact with the arrowheads, they would often explode violently.
After a volley of arrows, the two men were covered in blood and gore, their bodies riddled with wounds.
Although he is not disabled, he has injured his tendons and ligaments, which has greatly reduced his strength.
"Feng Wuhua, I'll spare your life today because you're my little sister's mentor," Lin Ping said sternly.
He is not a butcher; he will not kill innocent people unless they cross his bottom line.
Mo Youying and Feng Wuhua knew that their defeat was inevitable, so they left themselves to Lin Ping's disposal.
The once invincible Lotus Palace, teeming with masters, is now facing an unprecedented crisis.
Several thousand outer disciples have surrendered, and Chu Zhifeng has led the Feihong Peak disciples to remain neutral. Mei Jiecao and Tang Jianshan have both been crippled, and even Mo Youying and Feng Wuhua have suffered a crushing defeat.
At this point, only Hanyue Peak still had some fighting power.
"You little beast, you have betrayed your master and your sect! I will cleanse the sect of you right now!" Chu Rujun said through gritted teeth.
She grew up in the Lotus Palace and has a deep affection for every plant and tree there.
Although sometimes I don't agree with what Lotus Palace does, I also don't allow Lin Ping to trample on it like this.
"Hmph, there are still some who aren't afraid of death." Pang Xingji sneered, and prepared his crossbows again, waiting for Lin Ping's order.
"Stop! She's my master. I'd like to see who dares to hurt her!" Lin Ping said sternly, standing tall and proud in front of Chu Rujun.
Chu Rujun was prepared to die, but when Lin Ping gave up resistance, her heart trembled slightly.
She was a reasonable person after all. Lin Ping spared her life out of gratitude, but she wanted to use her position to kill him.
Even if she could kill Lin Ping, she would still feel guilty.
"Junior Sister Chu, kill this brat, or Lotus Palace will be destroyed in his hands!" Mei Jiecao shouted hoarsely.
Chu Rujun, who had been hesitant, immediately made up her mind upon hearing this, and thrust the scarlet Vermilion Bird Sword straight into Lin Ping's heart.
"My lord, be careful!" Seeing that the situation was not good, Guo Zhixi desperately stood in front of Lin Ping, showing no fear of the sharp sword moves.
"Get out of the way!" Chu Rujun was shocked, not expecting Guo Zhixi to risk her life for Lin Ping.
Her anger was too great, and she couldn't retract her sword in time, so she pierced Guo Zhixi's chest.
Warm blood spurted from her chest, landing on Lin Ping and Chu Rujun's faces.
"Senior Sister!" Lin Ping shouted hysterically, his strong arms tightly wrapped around her slender waist, tears welling up in his eyes.
Killing her most beloved disciple with her own hands, Chu Rujun felt as if her heart was being torn apart.
"Why? Why help this treacherous little beast who betrayed his master and ancestors?" Chu Rujun asked, shaking her head, still not feeling that she had done anything wrong.
