Chapter 1161: Dark Night Ghost

In order to better hide his figure, Chen Ping had already restrained all his breath as soon as he hid in the bushes. He even slowed down his breathing as much as possible and closed his eyes slightly.

But at this moment, when the night fell completely, Chen Ping slowly opened his eyes, and his bright eyes flashed a cold light in the darkness. He looked coldly at the two secret sentries that Chen Ping had found out before. Chen Ping took a deep breath, feeling the power in his body gradually surge out, and then jumped up from the bushes with extremely slight movements, like a vigorous civet cat, and in the blink of an eye he had already drilled into the nearby woods.

Then he slowly moved towards the nearest sentry post to Chen Ping's location.

In this darkness, ordinary people in the secular world can't see anything at all, but now Chen Ping has a strength far beyond that of ordinary people. Even among the ranks of ancient martial arts practitioners, he is also a top master. Therefore, even in the pitch-dark night, Chen Ping can clearly see everything in front of him.

As expected by Chen Ping, a thick tree appeared in front of Chen Ping a few minutes later.

And on the lush crown of this tree, there is a yellow-level fifth-level peak ancient martial arts practitioner hidden. Such strength can only be regarded as the lowest level in the ancient martial arts practitioner family.

It is precisely for this reason that he is responsible for this kind of late-night sentry work.

As Chen Ping approached all the way, he had been avoiding the field of vision of the two nearby sentries, but Chen Ping was also very clear in his heart that the two sentries were in high places. Even in the dark, with the strength of the two people hidden in the two sentries, they could observe the situation within the entire villa area.

As long as he tilted his head slightly, there would be almost no blind spots in his vision, so even with Chen Ping's current strength, it would be dangerous to completely avoid the sight of these two secret sentries.

However, Chen Ping's emotions at this moment seemed extremely calm, and his eyes seemed extremely cold, without any fluctuations. As for the aura on his body, it had been completely restrained.

Speaking of which, this was still the credit of the War God Hall. At the beginning, the head of the War God Hall, Boss Yue, taught Chen Ping the breath-holding technique. If it weren't for this technique, Chen Ping would never be able to completely hide his aura.

You know, even ordinary people in the secular world have aura, but it is much weaker than that of ancient martial arts practitioners.

For ancient martial arts practitioners with keen senses, any slight movement may arouse the other party's vigilance.

Fortunately, Chen Ping's aura at this moment was completely absent, just like a hard stone, and would not attract anyone's attention at all.

At this moment, Chen Ping had come under the tree, but he did not act immediately. Instead, he shrank his body again and hid in another bush near the tree, quietly observing the surrounding situation.

Chen Ping knew very well that although his breath-retaining technique could restrain all breaths, it could only cover up his own breath. If they fought, the breath of the opponent would definitely fluctuate. Even if he could kill the opponent on the spot, such fluctuations were inevitable, so he had to wait until the person in the other post shifted his attention to other directions before he would choose to attack.

However, in many cases, opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared.

And this kind of preparation is not just waiting for the arrival of opportunities, and the test is not just the reaction speed. The most important thing is the ability to create opportunities.

Just after Chen Ping waited for a few minutes, a subtle sound suddenly came from a hundred meters away.

This sound sounded very strange. It was not like the sound of the wind blowing the grass, but it was like something stepped on a branch and broke it.

If it were an ordinary person in the secular world, it would be impossible to hear such a subtle sound at a distance of 100 meters. However, the people guarding the two checkpoints were all ancient martial arts practitioners at the peak of the fifth level of the yellow level. With their hearing, they could vaguely hear the source of the sound even if they were more than 200 or 300 meters away, let alone a hundred meters away.

So at this moment, the two ancient martial arts practitioners at the peak of the fifth level of the yellow level in the two checkpoints almost simultaneously turned their sights to the bushes where Chen Ping had just hidden for a few hours.

However, at this moment, Chen Ping, who had been hiding under the big tree, flew up like thunder. He just touched the big tree lightly, causing almost no vibration, and he had already jumped onto the branches of the big tree like lightning. The next moment, he appeared behind the ancient martial arts practitioner at the peak of the fifth level of the yellow level hidden in the crown of the big tree.

It has to be said that the gap in strength between Chen Ping and this ancient martial arts practitioner at the peak of the fifth level of the yellow grade was too great. There was a difference of more than ten levels between the two, so after Chen Ping completed this series of actions, the other party did not even notice Chen Ping's arrival.

If it were any other time, perhaps the sound of the wind caused by Chen Ping's quick movement could attract the attention of this ancient martial arts practitioner at the peak of the fifth level of the yellow level. Unfortunately, the attention of this ancient martial arts practitioner at the peak of the fifth level of the yellow level was already focused on the bushes a hundred meters away, and he didn't even notice that there was an extra person behind him.

That's why Chen Ping almost effortlessly chopped the back of the neck of this ancient martial arts practitioner at the peak of the fifth level of the yellow level.

Chen Ping's move was completely merciful. Even against such a ancient martial arts practitioner at the peak of the fifth level of the yellow level, Chen Ping had no intention of holding back. With his full strength, this palm almost completely cut off the neck of this ancient martial arts practitioner at the peak of the fifth level of the yellow level.

At the same time, a powerful force poured into the brain of this ancient martial arts practitioner, instantly turning the dead man's brain into a mess.

All this happened so fast that a Huang-level 5th-level ancient martial arts practitioner was killed by Chen Ping in a flash. He had no power to resist and didn't even make a sound.

After killing the Huang-level 5th-level ancient martial arts practitioner on the spot, Chen Ping didn't even have any intention of stopping. He fell from the big branch like lightning and then ran towards another big tree hundreds of meters away.

At this moment, Chen Ping's movements seemed extremely slight, but his speed was not slow at all. However, he didn't walk in a straight line during the process of moving. Instead, he kept moving forward in a zigzag line behind the trees.

And just at the next moment after Chen Ping made his move, the ancient martial arts practitioner at the peak of the fifth level of the yellow level in another checkpoint hundreds of meters away suddenly revealed some doubts in his eyes, turned his head and looked in the direction of the ancient martial arts practitioner who had just died, frowned slightly, and a look of confusion appeared in his eyes.

Because at that moment, he clearly felt that the aura of his companion had completely dissipated, but under normal circumstances, the aura of the ancient martial arts practitioner was simply impossible to be restrained. Although the aura-holding technique looks relatively ordinary, in fact, in the entire ancient martial arts practice world, only the head of the War God Hall, Boss Yue, has such a technique.

However, it is precisely because of the extreme rarity of this technique that this seemingly ordinary thing can play a vital role at certain times.

For example, Chen Ping now, I am afraid that no one can think that Chen Ping can completely restrain his aura, and it is precisely because of this advantage that Chen Ping can make such a plan.

Otherwise, Chen Ping could only launch an attack openly, and in that case, Chen Ping's own combat effectiveness would be greatly reduced, and he would not be able to be the opponent of the ancient martial arts practitioner family in front of him.

It must be said that the two skills that Boss Yue, the master of the God of War, passed on to Chen Ping before his death are likely to play a crucial role in the process of Chen Ping's confrontation with the White Alliance. Although it will not help Chen Ping's actual combat effectiveness, it can allow Chen Ping to walk in the darkness, constantly exerting pressure on the White Alliance and delaying the development of the White Alliance.

As for the ancient martial arts practitioner at the peak of the fifth level of the yellow level at Chen Ping's destination at this moment, he didn't know the existence of such a thing as the breath-retaining technique, so when he felt the aura of another ancient martial arts practitioner at the peak of the fifth level of the yellow level completely disappeared, he felt at a loss and didn't know what happened at all.

However, as a Huang-level 5th-level peak ancient martial arts practitioner, his reaction speed is naturally not comparable to that of ordinary people. After noticing that something was wrong, the eyes of this Huang-level 5th-level peak ancient martial arts practitioner instantly became completely sharp, and his eyes kept scanning the surroundings.

However, just that moment of daze just now has given Chen Ping a crucial opportunity.

Although the two sides were several hundred meters apart, after killing the Huang-level 5th-level peak ancient martial arts practitioner, Chen Ping almost immediately burst out his peak speed. In less than three seconds, he had already arrived in front of the second Huang-level 5th-level peak ancient martial arts practitioner.

At the same time, this Huang-level 5th-level peak ancient martial arts practitioner finally came to his senses at this moment, and subconsciously wanted to raise his voice to warn.

It was a pity that his reaction speed was still half a beat slower. When the figure in front of him flashed, he only saw a fist that was getting bigger and bigger and spreading rapidly in his sight. The next moment, he didn't even have time to make any sound before he fell under Chen Ping's fist.

At this moment, Chen Ping's strength had been completely exploded. With the help of the lightning-like speed just now, the power of this punch was really not to be underestimated. It even smashed the head of this ancient martial arts practitioner at the peak of the fifth level of the yellow level into pieces.

Even Chen Ping was a little uncomfortable with this extremely bloody scene, but Chen Ping's mentality was different from that of ordinary people. After just frowning slightly, he completely returned to normal.

After bending down and gently wiping the blood off his fist, Chen Ping coldly glanced at the headless body lying on the ground. He also snorted coldly and then ignored the two dead Huang-level fifth-level peak ancient martial arts practitioners. _
