Under the cover of night, Yue Pingsheng's killing move was about to arrive in an instant.
The twin blades in his hands flashed like a cold light in the darkness, transforming into the afterimage of a shooting star. Between heaven and earth, there was a murderous intent.
He had been in the martial arts world for many years and had been tricked before. But that was long before he started out, and he had never been so utterly defeated as he was today, which made him extremely angry.
What's more, the other party was actually the Prince of Lin, the very one he wanted to kill?!
It is rumored that Prince Lin is uneducated, weak and a complete fool.
But this young man in front of me doesn't look stupid at all.
The feeling of humiliation of being deceived and the severe pain in his body made Yue Pingsheng extremely angry. The double-edged swords in his hands flashed with a cold light, determined to take his life.
Lin Jiangnian's eyes were alert, his body tense. In the darkness, Yue Pingsheng's fierce murderous aura had already locked onto him.
He underestimated Yue Pingsheng's martial arts skills, or perhaps it could be said that Yue Pingsheng's martial arts skills were too high!
In a head-on confrontation, Lin Jiangnian has almost no chance of winning.
During his time in Beijing, Lin Jiangnian had diligently studied and practiced, making rapid progress in his martial arts skills. However, his training time was still short. Even if he was a genius, it would be impossible for him to compete with a veteran like Yue Pingsheng in such a short period of time.
The gap in strength between the two is too big. If they fight head-on, Lin Jiangnian will definitely die.
Therefore, he chose a sneak attack.
Disguised as tonight's assassin in black, he quietly approached Yue Pingsheng and then took the opportunity to kill him...
The plan went smoothly, and Lin Jiangnian successfully approached Yue Pingsheng. However, Yue Pingsheng was a veteran in the martial arts world, and he sensed something was amiss. His powerful internal energy also prevented Lin Jiangnian's plan of a fatal blow from happening.
After being seriously injured, Yue Pingsheng was furious and wanted to kill Lin Jiangnian.
At this moment, the world was filled with murderous intent. Lin Jiangnian felt his flesh and blood become cold and stiff, and he was almost locked in place.
The gap in strength is too obvious!
The difference in strength between the two was so great that the other party could easily end his life with a single blow.
At this moment, the Xuan Yang Heart Technique in Lin Jiangnian's body played a huge role. As if sensing danger, the Xuan Yang Heart Technique started to operate automatically, surging wildly in his body. The originally frozen and stiff flesh and blood gradually recovered their normal functions, and a majestic and hot breath filled the air.
Lin Jiangnian tapped the ground with his toes and while quickly retreating, he gathered all his internal strength in his palms and slammed them out with one blow.
At the same time, the double blades in Yue Pingsheng's hands were approaching.
The sword fell, and the palm strike that Lin Jiangnian had used with all his strength was easily defeated by Yue Pingsheng's double blades!
The gap in strength makes everything seem meaningless.
"Bang!"
The aura of the double-edged sword just brushed past Lin Jiangnian, who was blown away and almost fell off the roof.
He managed to steady himself, but his body was churning and a sharp pain surged through his heart. Looking down, he saw a bloody mark on his left arm, bleeding profusely.
Lin Jiangnian was filled with fear. The cold blade had almost brushed past him. If it had just been a little bit, his entire arm would have been cut off.
The gap is really too big!
Can't even withstand a single attack?!
Lin Jiangnian smiled bitterly. Although the division of martial arts realms was not absolute, if the realms differed too much, any skills and moves would be meaningless in the face of the absolute strength gap.
Fortunately, Yue Pingsheng had been seriously injured after being ambushed.
Although Lin Jiangnian's sneak attack didn't kill him, it did hit his kidney. With his kidney severely injured, his movements were greatly restricted, and his skills were greatly reduced.
The current attack failed to take Lin Jiangnian's life. His injuries became more serious, his face turned pale, and he felt severe pain in his waist as he attacked. His internal energy seemed to leak out.
Yue Pingsheng's face turned pale as he realized the severity of his injury. He pressed two acupoints on his body again, his breathing slowed down a little, and he looked up at Lin Jiangnian in front of him with murderous intent in his eyes, without any concealment.
"If you leave now and find a place to heal your wounds, you might be able to save your life. If you delay any longer, your martial arts skills will at best decline, and at worst, your life will be in danger!"
Lin Jiangnian knelt on the edge of the eaves, looking up at Yue Pingsheng in front of him. The bright red blood on his waist had dyed his robe red.
Yue Pingsheng's expression changed drastically. He knew that Lin Jiangnian was right. This sneak attack had shaken his foundation, and he had to find a place to heal quickly.
But he was unwilling!
The Prince of Lin was right in front of him, and from that knife strike just now, he also knew all about Lin Jiangnian's background.
I know some martial arts, but not much!
If he were at his peak, the Prince of Lin wouldn't be able to withstand even one of his attacks.
And now, he had just been injured by the strong wind from his own blade, and was also at the end of his strength.
Just one more blow and he would be dead!
A scorching flame flickered in Yue Pingsheng's eyes, and he made a secret decision.
Let’s take the life of Prince Lin first!
Kill him, and you will have endless wealth, glory, and status in the underworld!
Thinking of this, the burning fire in Yue Pingsheng's eyes briefly covered the pain in his waist, and he clenched the blade in his hand again.
The two swords shone coldly in the night, as bright as stars, and turned into a meteor and attacked Lin Jiangnian again.
The cold wind raged, almost cutting Lin Jiangnian's cheek. The sharp blade wrapped in the cold wind stung his skin. Lin Jiangnian knelt on the ground, his whole body tense. At the moment when Yue Pingsheng's two knives approached, Lin Jiangnian retreated.
Behind me is the eaves.
Lin Jiangnian's figure fell down instantly, avoiding Yue Pingsheng's fatal knife.
The knife missed again, and Yue Pingsheng stopped at the edge of the eaves and looked down. In that glance, he immediately saw Lin Jiangnian holding the edge of the eaves with one hand, and his whole body was suspended in mid-air.
The moment Yue Pingsheng looked down, Lin Jiangnian also moved. He raised his hand and slapped the edge of the eaves hard. In an instant, the tiles shattered, and the place where Yue Pingsheng was standing fell into the air.
Yue Pingsheng, who had anticipated this, subconsciously wanted to retreat, but just as he had the idea, a hand suddenly grabbed his ankle fiercely, and then, a tremendous force suddenly pulled him down.
Yue Pingsheng was caught off guard and was violently dragged down from the eaves. Even with his immense internal strength, he had never expected Lin Jiangnian to pull off such a move. His feet missed the target, and he fell uncontrollably.
“Go to hell!”
Yue Pingsheng was extremely angry and did not bother to escape. He stabbed Lin Jiangnian's neck with the scimitar in his hand.
Unexpectedly, Lin Jiangnian did not retreat this time but advanced. At the moment Yue Pingsheng attacked, he suddenly got close to Yue Pingsheng, and the scimitar missed and stabbed Lin Jiangnian's back.
"snort!"
With a muffled groan, severe pain came from the back.
Lin Jiangnian was breathing rapidly and twitching in severe pain, but his hands did not stop for a moment. He pinched the wound on Yue Pingsheng's waist where he had been stabbed.
In an instant, a sharp scream was heard.
The bleeding had just stopped at the waist, but with Lin Jiangnian's fierce pinch, blood splattered in the air in an instant. Yue Pingsheng screamed fiercely, his face twisted, and all the strength in his body seemed to be drained away in an instant.
Kill him while he is ill!
Lin Jiangnian's slightly handsome face now had a more fierce look.
Yue Pingsheng, who was already seriously injured, was pinched so hard by Lin Jiangnian that he almost fainted from the pain. The scimitar in his hand fell. The next second, Lin Jiangnian used Yue Pingsheng's strength to retreat suddenly, and rolled over to the ground.
“Ahem…”
Lin Jiangnian fell heavily to the ground, feeling severe pain all over his body, almost fainting from the pain, especially in his back, which was burning with pain.
Even without checking, you can tell that the injury is serious.
However, he didn't have time to think about that and rolled over and got up from the ground.
At this moment, Yue Pingsheng fell to the ground not far away, spitting blood, his pupils dilated, staring at Lin Jiangnian.
His face was pale, his eyes were ferocious, fierce and sharp.
However, his breathing was very weak!
The injury on his waist worsened, and falling from such a high place almost cost him his life.
At this moment, he is almost dying!
Lin Jiangnian picked up the bow that Yue Pingsheng had dropped from the ground.
The scimitar is like a moon, sharp and piercing.
There was still some blood on the scimitar. Lin Jiangnian held the scimitar and slowly walked to Yue Pingsheng.
"You lose!"
Lin Jiangnian stared at him and spoke expressionlessly.
At this moment, Yue Pingsheng stared at Lin Jiangnian with a fierce look in his eyes, and a hint of astonishment.
Not reconciled!
He actually fell flat on his face here tonight!
He actually fell into the hands of Prince Lin?!
It was obvious that Lin Jiangnian in front of him was just an ant, and he could easily take his life!
But he couldn't do it!
He actually failed!
A look of regret emerged in Yue Pingsheng's eyes. When he noticed Lin Jiangnian's cold eyes and the familiar sharp blade, Yue Pingsheng finally realized something.
A look of panic appeared on his face, and he struggled desperately to get up.
But he was seriously injured!
He was injured in the waist. The knife had damaged his kidney, and the severe pinch he received from the sneak attack just now made his injury even worse.
At this moment, the internal energy in his body was dissipating crazily. Yue Pingsheng wanted to gather his internal energy, but he couldn't do it no matter what. The intense pain and convulsions all over his body made him lose the strength to even raise his hands.
Yue Pingsheng's eyes were filled with fear, and panic finally emerged.
Could it be that his father-in-law, who had lived a life of great success, was going to die here tonight?
Died at the hands of such a weak and unknown person? !
He is unwilling to accept this!!
But at the same time, Lin Jiangnian was approaching, and he walked step by step to Yue Pingsheng.
He is very alert!
Even though he was sure that Yue Pingsheng had no strength to resist, Lin Jiangnian still did not relax at all.
In the martial arts world, there are countless stories of weaker opponents defeating stronger ones and masters falling. No one dares to be truly sure of the outcome until the last moment.
Yue Ping's martial arts skills were far superior to Lin Jiangnian's, but didn't he still fail here today?
Lin Jiangnian, holding a scimitar dagger, approached Yue Pingsheng, staring into his terrified eyes and sneering, "What do you mean eleventh on the Jianghu Masters List? It turns out to be nothing more than that!"
"I will take your life!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Jiangnian raised the scimitar in his hand.
At this moment, a strong fear struck his heart, and Yue Pingsheng's pupils shrank sharply. Facing life and death, he burst out with a strong desire to survive and begged for mercy repeatedly.
“No, don’t…Ah!!!”
Accompanied by a sharp scream, the scimitar in Lin Jiangnian's hand stabbed into Yue Pingsheng's heart.
Accurate and thorough!
Yue Pingsheng's pupils dilated, a look of horror on his face. He stared at Lin Jiangnian with wide eyes, filled with resentment, regret, and unwillingness...
He stared at Lin Jiangnian like this until his eyes blurred and he stopped breathing unwillingly.
Dead!
Lin Jiangnian was still worried, so he pulled out his scimitar and stabbed him a few more times. Only after he was sure that Yue Pingsheng had stopped breathing and was completely dead did he breathe a sigh of relief, sit down on the ground, and gasp for breath.
As his spirit relaxed, severe pain came over him all over his body, almost making him faint. Lin Jiangnian took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, poured out the pills inside and swallowed them. As his luck flowed, his face looked a little better.
But even so, the severe pain in his back was still there. Lin Jiangnian tore off a piece of clothing and bandaged the wound on his back lightly.
After doing all this, Lin Jiangnian still sat on the ground, looking at Yue Pingsheng who died with his eyes open not far away, feeling extremely scared.
This Yue Pingsheng is the most powerful master he has faced in the past six months!
Even if it was a surprise attack, it still cost such a terrible price.
Fortunately, Zhiyuan was right. Although Yue Pingsheng's swordsmanship was sharp, his flaws were also obvious...
Thinking of this, Lin Jiangnian breathed a sigh of relief. When he was about to get up, he suddenly realized something and turned his head.
"who?!!"
It was pitch black all around. Lin Jiangnian's gaze suddenly fixed on the darkness not far away. He said in a cold voice, "Come out!"
“Hehehe!”
A sharp, cold laugh was heard in the darkness: "As expected of the Prince of Lin, he is quite capable. No wonder he was able to kill Yue Pingsheng."
The voice was sharp and unpleasant, with a hint of laughter, which made people feel creepy.
At the same time, a 'person' walked out of the darkness not far away!
It was indeed a person, but this 'person' looked extremely thin. Probably less than five feet tall, he looked as thin as a monkey, and shrouded in a black robe, he looked extremely ridiculous.
As the other party appeared, revealing a very shifty face beneath the black robe, it looked very inconsistent. Those narrowed eyes, with a somewhat creepy smile, made people feel very uncomfortable.
"Who are you?"
Lin Jiangnian stared at the man and spoke slowly.
"It doesn't matter who I am. Prince Lin just needs to know that I'm here to kill you!"
The skinny monkey spoke, his face full of cunning, and he looked extremely uncomfortable.
"So, you are the one hiding last?"
Lin Jiangnian felt an aura from the other party that was even stronger than Yue Pingsheng's.
The person in front of him is much more powerful than Yue Pingsheng!
"I guess so."
The skinny monkey's face was full of smiles, but when his eyes fell on Lin Jiangnian, he seemed a little surprised: "Aren't you afraid of me?"
"Why should you be afraid?" Lin Jiangnian asked back.
"You're going to die!"
He sneered: "You should have no power to resist now, right?"
He showed up at this time because he had already understood the situation.
The situation in the inn was still tense. The personal guards of Prince Lin were delayed, and his most powerful personal maid had no time to escape. Even Lin Jiangnian was seriously injured in the attempt to kill Yue Pingsheng.
Now, the turtle is caught in the jar!
The life of Prince Lin belongs to him alone!
But for some reason, he couldn't see any panic on Prince Lin's face, which made him frown slightly.
"You don't think you're the only one who's behind this, do you?"
Lin Jiangnian glanced at him.
The skinny monkey was slightly startled: "What do you mean?"
Lin Jiangnian ignored him, looked up and spoke with a sneer.
"If you don't come out, this prince will die at his hands!"
“…”
