Bai Xiuping showed everyone what it means to be cut and discarded.
"Ahhhh."
Several members of the execution team were already being tossed around by the wind on the cliff. They were all supported by Lu Deming alone. Now that the rope was cut, they fell down without any resistance at all.
"Brothers!"
Ling Zhengzhi turned around and saw that all the fellow apprentices had fainted from fear. It would be great if he also fainted.
However, Ling Zhengzhi reached up, he didn't want to die like this.
There was a "whoosh" sound.
A force grabbed the rope and forcibly pulled several people up. In the clouds above, a purple light suddenly erupted.
Ling Zhengzhi raised his head and looked at the person in front of him in disbelief. It turned out to be the young leader standing in the air, holding the rope with one hand.
Bai Xiuping sneered and said, "The bastard is here."
…
Yuanlai Peak, a cliff halfway up the mountain.
The majestic and steep mountain peaks are surrounded by clouds and mist. You can't see the top of the mountain when you look up, and you can't see the foot of the mountain when you look down.
Ji Xinrong and the others only heard shouting coming from below. He frowned and said, "It's the sound coming from below. That direction is the team leader and the others."
Gong Taihe said hurriedly: "How long are you going to stay here in a daze? We have to go down quickly to rescue them."
The two of them were the top two in the execution team, so they were naturally the ones with the best abilities. What's more, they knew better than anyone else how dangerous the cliff wind was.
Even if the team leader takes the lead, it may not necessarily ensure safety.
Cliff winds would blow at Yuanlai Peak every once in a while, but they didn't expect that the cliff winds would come earlier this time.
Once the cliff wind blows, it will take at least half an hour to subside, and the clouds and fog will move faster with the cliff wind.
Before long, the entire cliff will be shrouded in thick fog, but now the wind on the cliff has blown, and there is simply not enough time for them to climb up. When the cloud and fog completely cover the mountain peak, they will become the same as before. Same as those at Feng.
The next time the execution team comes again, they will be the ones being saluted. In this case, the safest way is to stay where they are.
But in this case, no one on the team leader's side can help them.
After Ji Xinrong hesitated for a moment, he gritted his teeth and said, "Everyone, wait here."
"Are you serious?"
"There is no other way. Now the team leader and the others can only survive on their own."
Gong Taihe grabbed Ji Xinrong's shoulders hard and roared: "What are you bastard talking about? Let them hold on by themselves?"
"If there is only one team leader, of course there is no problem, but behind the team leader there are five team members and the lunatic young leader."
"If this continues, they will really be swallowed up by the clouds. Are you going to watch them become like those brothers before? Are you kidding me?"
Gong Taihe pulled out the dagger, cut the rope with a click, and said, "Even if I am alone, I will go down and save them."
"Brother!"
Although Gong Taihe was said to be alone, he was the one taking the lead. As soon as his rope was cut, Hua Lixiong and Duan Feilian from the same team fell down.
Ji Xinrong stared at the few people, was silent for a moment, gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "The execution team of the Sky Sword Team will carry out the mission from now on. The goal is to keep everyone alive, including the missing team members."
Everyone in the execution team looked at each other and smiled, then took out the daggers from their waists and cut the rope.
Ji Xinrong led the team and shouted: "No one in the execution team should be missing, search thoroughly for me!"
Like an arrow shot out, it breaks through the clouds.
…
The clouds and mist are lingering, and the wind is rustling.
Halfway up the mountain.
Ling Zhengzhi asked: "Young Master, can you see clearly what is above?"
Bai Xiuping rolled his eyes and sneered: "It's hard to say, maybe because I'm a bastard, so my eyes aren't very good and I can't see clearly."
Ling Zhengzhi scratched his head awkwardly and said, "Are you still angry? Didn't I already apologize to you?"
He was indeed a little embarrassed. Just now, the senior brothers didn't have time to react, and he was the one who scolded the young leader.
Unexpectedly, he was saved by the young leader. This time he was really embarrassed.
Bai Xiuping looked towards the top of the mountain and frowned slightly. Logically speaking, they should have almost climbed to the top of the mountain, but they couldn't see the top of the mountain.
The surroundings were completely covered by clouds and fog.
"What should we do now? I heard that no one has ever been able to escape the clouds and mist at Yuan Lai Peak."
Ling Zhengzhi said worriedly.
Bai Xiuping nodded. The clouds and fog here were not ordinary mountain fog, but revealed something strange, as if someone had deliberately made it like this.
But one thing made Bai Xiuping feel even more strange. He turned around and saw that Ling Zhengzhi climbed the mountain on his own feet, with his hands folded across his chest, and without relying on any internal strength.
Ling Zhengzhi just clung to the cliff with his toes, and he could also drag the fainted senior brothers behind him.
When Bai Xiuping saw this scene, he was a little dumbfounded and said, "Are you better at climbing cliffs than you thought? Why did you tie a rope and follow Lu Deming before?"
Bai Xiuping couldn't help but secretly sighed that this guy was a monster.
Even if he didn't use internal strength, he still needed to use his hands and feet to climb on this steep Yuanlai Peak. He really didn't understand how Ling Zhengzhi could do it.
Ling Zhengzhi chuckled, a little embarrassed: "Because I didn't think it was necessary to show it before."
Bai Xiuping didn't ask any further.
This guy's background in Yuanlaifeng alone made him targeted in the execution team. If he showed this special talent again, it would make the people in the execution team even more angry.
"On the contrary, Young Master, why do you want to hide your strength?"
No matter how stupid Ling Zhengzhi is, he still knows that Bai Xiuping is definitely not an ordinary person just based on the powerful pressure he showed just now and his ability to walk in the air.
Even the senior brothers at the top of the execution team couldn't do it even if they wanted to.
Especially after getting along with him for this period of time, no matter how I looked at it, I felt that the young leader had nothing to do with the rumored hot temper and mediocre martial arts.
Not to mention a bad temper, ordinary people may not be able to withstand being targeted and ridiculed by the execution team.
The young leader was stunned and didn't refute anything.
Ling Zhengzhi waved his hand and said, "As long as you show your martial arts publicly, no one will look down on you anymore, let alone ignore you."
In the final analysis, Mingjiao is a place where martial arts is the most respected.
As long as Bai Xiuping, the young leader, shows strong martial arts skills, no matter how ridiculous his behavior is, the complaints will be reduced, at least others will only dare to bury it in their hearts.
"Are you enjoying the feeling of hiding your strength? Watching the weak show their teeth and claws in front of you makes you feel very happy, is that right?"
Bai Xiuping said with black lines on his face: "Am I that kind of pervert?"
After that, he punched Ling Zhengzhi on the head and said: "You don't have to be good at martial arts to do whatever you want. Martial arts can't solve everything."
"Although martial arts can indeed make people surrender in many cases, they just succumb to my fists. They don't really trust me and approve of me, and choose to go with me."
"I don't understand what you're saying at all."
Ling Zhengzhi hugged his little head and said in pain: "Isn't it possible to solve the problem as long as you become strong enough? When a person is strong enough, everyone will naturally trust him."
Bai Xiuping chuckled: "Obviously there were people who told me before that they would not succumb to power."
"That, that's because..."
As he spoke, Bai Xiuping's internal energy flowed. He stood on the cliff and gathered his internal energy in his palms.
"The birth of Mingjiao is to create a world where everyone is equal, rather than relying on fists to reason. The principles of fists are for those who are unwilling to sit down and reason."
"The fist protects the weak, the sword points to the top of the mountain."
"But today's Mingjiao is no longer what it wanted to be when it was first established. Instead, it has become the most unreasonable place in the world."
Obeying is different from guarding.
People will obey just because the person in front of them has greater power and harder fists. As long as someone with greater power and power appears, people will surrender to another person.
And protection is for the people you care about. No matter how strong or weak the enemy is, or how powerful it is, you will fight against it. You would rather sacrifice yourself to gain peace for the world.
What's the fun in punching the weak?
I use my fists as boundaries, freedom as rules, and let everyone in the world feel at ease.
This is the origin of Mingjiao and the belief in Bai Xiuping's heart.
A huge purple-black internal force turned into an almost substantial flame and blasted towards the sky.
