Chapter 93: The awakened licker, the collapsed Meng Ping’e

Song Bufan's talent was merely outstanding, far from being considered a Heavenly Prodigy.

Among those from the same period, not to mention the three strongest—Ninth Prince, Su Xinyan, and Sixth Princess—

Meng Ping'e and Zheng Guan, who were second only to them, as well as Wu Wendong and Xiao Hanxing, were also much more outstanding than Song Bufan.

At this moment, he was only able to fight the Third, who was at the Late Stage of the Purple Mansion, with his mid-stage Purple Mansion strength, because he relied on his powerful Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills, and used better weapons.

But he could only manage to fight back and forth with the Third; winning or even killing the Third was simply impossible.

Song Bufan, covered in sweat, cautiously responded to the attacks, but suddenly heard his beloved's cry for help and became distracted.

"Qingqiu, wait a moment, I'll be right there."

"You dare to be distracted at a time like this!" The Third's voice was hoarse, and his face was grim.

He seized the opportunity while Song Bufan was distracted and successfully launched a sneak attack.

Unfortunately, Song Bufan was wearing inner armor with astonishing defense, which blocked most of the damage for him.

The Third's eyes lit up, "I didn't expect him to be such a big fish!"

Powerful inner armor is even rarer and more expensive than weapons.

He clearly understood that his sword strike just now definitely had the power to kill most mid-stage Purple Mansion Cultivators.

Yet, the inner armor on Song Bufan easily blocked it, as if nothing had happened, which indicated that the inner armor he wore was worth a lot. Isn't this a big fish!

Lu Qingqiu was even worse off, being beaten back step by step by the Third, seemingly unable to hold on any longer.

"Song Bufan! You said before that no matter who hurt me, you would protect me with your life! Hurry and save me!"

Lu Qingqiu's tone carried a hint of complaint; she didn't care how difficult things were for Song Bufan at the moment. She only knew that she needed him to save her life, and he hadn't come.

In her heart, Lu Qingqiu was even cursing Song Bufan, calling him a useless good-for-nothing.

Hearing Lu Qingqiu's complaining tone in her cry for help, Song Bufan felt helpless and wronged at the same time.

He was currently in danger; how could he protect her? Couldn't she be a little understanding of his situation?

"Still distracted! You're really seeking death!"

The Third, who was fighting him, attacked even more fiercely, with every move being fatal. If it weren't for the inner armor blocking the attacks, Song Bufan wouldn't have enough lives to die.

But his clothes were relatively ordinary and had been torn to shreds, with only a few strips of cloth hanging on him, making him look extremely disheveled, like a beggar.

Although the inner armor blocked most of the damage for him, some of it still had to be borne by him, and he was already injured at this moment.

"Ah!!"

Lu Qingqiu was struck by the Third's palm, let out a scream, and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Song Bufan's heart ached. Gritting his teeth, he took out two Talismans. One Talisman was immediately activated, turning into thousands of sword blades to block the Third, and the other Talisman flew to Lu Qingqiu's side, handing it to her.

"Qingqiu, this is a Teleportation Talisman, you go first!"

Lu Qingqiu saw Song Bufan take out a precious Teleportation Talisman. After taking it, she not only didn't thank him but instead had a face full of complaint.

"If you had such a means of escape, why didn't you take it out earlier! You had to wait until I was injured before taking it out. I really don't know what to say about you!"

Lu Qingqiu complained, directly activated the Talisman, and her figure instantly disappeared without a moment's delay.

She didn't even ask what Song Bufan would do after she left.

Song Bufan stood frozen in place, dumbfounded.

The reason he didn't take it out at first was that he wanted Lu Qingqiu to try and hold on for a while, while he figured out a way to kill the Third and then come to help her.

This way, they could defeat the Qingshan Three Bandits, and he could finally hold his head high at home.

He didn't expect Lu Qingqiu to be so weak, completely unable to match the Third.

Lu Qingqiu's attitude just now made Song Bufan suddenly realize that the beloved he had pursued for so long might not care about him at all.

To test this idea, Song Bufan, who still held a trace of affection for Lu Qingqiu, took out the Teleportation Talisman.

He wanted to see if Lu Qingqiu had him in her heart.

The result was obvious.

Even the second before she fled, Lu Qingqiu was still complaining about him, without any gratitude or concern.

"Hahaha! It turns out I've been one-sided all along!"

"I'm really too ridiculous!"

Although Song Bufan was laughing, his smile was somewhat tragic and chilling.

Among the True Martial King's many sons, he seemed too ordinary, so he received very little care and love from his family since childhood. He yearned to be noticed and loved.

When Lu Qingqiu first arrived at Great Qi Academy, in order to gain a foothold, she showed strong concern and affection for him after learning his identity, which made him deeply infatuated and unable to extricate himself.

It was only now that he came to his senses.

The Qingshan Three Bandits' Third and Third exchanged glances.

"I didn't expect this kid to have a treasure like a Teleportation Talisman. Kill him quickly, we can't let him escape too!"

The two attacked with strong killing intent, especially the Third, who struck particularly fiercely because the girl he had set his eyes on was sent away by Song Bufan, which made him furious.

Song Bufan was already struggling to fight one-on-one, let alone one against two.

However, he wasn't preparing to fight. He just threw out a black sphere.

"Bang!!"

The black sphere exploded, creating thick smoke that not only obscured vision but also blocked Divine Sense detection. Being in the smoke was like being blind.

Song Bufan used a precious evasion technique from the True Martial King's mansion and fled into the distance.

Teleportation Talismans were extremely rare and valuable, and he only had one, but fortunately, he had other means of escape.

By the time the Third and Third rushed out of the smoke, Song Bufan's figure was completely gone.

"Damn it! They all got away!"

"It's probably for the best that they ran. With a Teleportation Talisman and such a powerful evasion technique, this kid's identity must not be simple."

Cultivators from rogue or ordinary forces, they would kill them if they could, but they were afraid of accidentally killing someone with a noble identity.

At this moment, Meng Ping'e was completely suppressing the Qingshan Three Bandits' leader and could even kill him soon.

Hearing the explosion, he looked back and saw only the Third and Third there; Song Bufan and Lu Qingqiu were gone.

"Where are my teammates??"

Meng Ping'e was furious at this moment.

"Damn it! Song Bufan, that dog, is not only a good-for-nothing but also a coward and a treacherous scoundrel!"

"Before forming the alliance, he said we would advance and retreat together, and now he just leaves!"

Meng Ping'e had been counting on Song Bufan to use his trump cards to help him kill the Third and Third, but he actually ran away.

He did have trump cards, but they were all for preserving his life and escaping.

Meng Ping'e was filled with regret at this moment. He knew that casually pulling in two Late Stage Purple Mansion Realm rogue Cultivators would have been much better than finding Song Bufan and Lu Qingqiu.

He had a great advantage in a one-on-one fight, but a one-on-three fight was a bit tiring.

With Lu Qingqiu and Song Bufan running away one after another, the Qingshan Three Bandits' Third and Third could only turn back to deal with Meng Ping'e with their leader.

Surely this one wouldn't run away too!!
