son, don't mess around

The night breeze is blowing.

The hazy moonlight fell on the open space outside the town.

Not long ago, many of the Tianshen Sect's followers gathered here and were almost wiped out, with only one of the three elders left, who fled in panic.

And tonight, this place is destined to be the burial place of the black-robed leader.

At this moment, the night wind rustled the robes of the black-robed leader, and the pair of eyes revealing brilliance under the bronze mask coldly looked at the six black-armored masters around him.

The black armor took on an indescribable strange luster under the moonlight, and the aura emanating from these six people was that of the rare top masters in the world.

This is a real killing machine, the assassin that Lin Hengzhong has secretly nurtured over the years!

What is most frightening is that when these people join forces, they can unleash even greater strength.

"No one in this world can kill me."

The leader's voice was hoarse and low, with a hint of deep coldness.

"Lin Hengzhong couldn't do it back then, so you don't have the qualifications!"

A cold and murderous voice sounded, and the next second, the figure of the black-robed leader disappeared from the spot.

It left a trail of afterimages in the night sky and headed straight for Lin Jiangnian on the roof.

Capture the thief first and capture the king!
The moment the black-robed leader moved, the six black-armored men around him moved almost at the same time and blocked the black-robed leader.

"Anyone who stands in my way will die!"

The leader's eyes were full of coldness, and his aura rose again, and a terrifying aura burst out.

None of the six men in black armor around retreated. Facing the terrifying aura of the black-robed leader, they went straight forward to meet him.

As black-armored warriors, they were the death warriors raised by Prince Lin. In their eyes, there was no such thing as retreating. The first step to becoming a death warrior was to forget about one's own life and death.

Killing the man in front of them is their goal tonight!

The six black-armored warriors were no match for the black-robed leader in front of them in terms of their individual strength. The leader, who was at the level of a half-step grandmaster, had a terrifying internal force.

In this world, there are only a handful of people who can fight and compete with him!

But when these six black-armored warriors joined forces, the power they displayed should not be underestimated. The six of them cooperated tacitly, and the terrifying aura spread between heaven and earth, forcibly dragging the black-robed leader!
The black-robed leader had a gloomy look in his eyes. He had to admit that he had underestimated the black armor in front of him and also underestimated Lin Hengzhong.

Lin Hengzhong has been in charge of Linzhou over the years, and I wonder how many trump cards he has cultivated under his hands!
Killing Lin Hengzhong is far from being as simple as assassination.

The combined strength of these black-armored masters before him caused him considerable trouble.

but……

The black-robed leader's eyes narrowed slightly.

If all ten of them were to come together tonight, they might actually pose a threat to him.

But there are only six people in front of me!
A black robe rustled in the cold night wind, and a majestic figure was revealed under the wide robe.

The aura of this black-robed leader rose again.

This time, he finally got serious!
As the aura on his body grew stronger, even though he didn't move, the dust on the ground around him flew up and swirled around his body.

The eyes of the six black-armored masters around them were more solemn than ever before.

On the roof not far away, Lin Jiangnian saw this scene with his eyes narrowed, staring at the surrounded leader, and was slightly shocked.
Is this the aura of a half-step grandmaster?

A half-step grandmaster already has such strength, what about the grandmaster?

How terrifying is a true grandmaster?
Can one defeat a hundred or a thousand?
Or can you take the lives of people from among the host of thousands of troops, and follow them wherever they want in heaven and on earth? !

Being able to draw six black-armored masters from the prince was already the limit for Lin Jiangnian. But at the moment, these six black-armored masters seemed unable to stop the leader for too long.

As the black-robed leader's aura grew stronger, the six black-armored masters who had surrounded him gradually became unable to cope.

The gap in hard power level is ultimately difficult to bridge!

The leader of the Heavenly God Sect is the most powerful person Lin Jiangnian has ever seen!
Even though the six black-armored masters have tried their best, they can only temporarily stop the opponent and consume the black-robed leader's internal energy, but cannot cause him any harm!

In the dark night, the black-robed leader appeared and disappeared without a trace, and his terrifying aura was rampant. Finally, when the aura of the leader reached an extremely terrifying state, he was so powerful that he broke out of the encirclement of six people.

The six black-armored masters were even scattered by this terrifying aura and were blown several meters away.

Immediately afterwards, the black-robed leader rushed towards Lin Jiangnian on the roof like a meteor.

The moment the black-robed leader rushed out, Lin Jiangnian and An Ning on the roof quickly retreated and left the roof.

"Boom!"

The next second, there was a loud bang on the roof, followed by the sound of tiles breaking, and a large hole was knocked out on the roof.

The black-robed leader's ferocious bronze mask became more and more terrifying. He stared at Lin Jiangnian who had retreated to the open space and said, "Tonight, no one can stop us!"

"Master, you better catch up with me first!"

Lin Jiangnian glanced at the black-robed leader on the roof in front of him, then without any hesitation, turned around and ran away, pulling An Ning beside him.

"Run!"

An Ning was originally on high alert, holding his breath and ready to draw his sword at any time, but suddenly he was grabbed by Lin Jiangnian and ran away.

The little girl was stunned, and her body instinctively followed Lin Jiangnian and ran. When she came to her senses, she realized that she had been dragged out of the town by Lin Jiangnian and into the overgrown woods outside the town.

Behind him, the moment Lin Jiangnian ran away, the black-robed leader caught up with him.

The leader was much stronger than the two men, and his Qinggong was even more amazing. It didn't take long for him to catch up with them. But the six black-armored masters who had just been repelled also surrounded him again, blocking the leader's steps.

At this time, the soldiers of Linwang Army inside and outside the inn also arrived one after another, and surrounded the black-robed leader again.

A large number of people gathered outside the town tonight. Their only goal was to keep the black-robed leader.

The black-robed leader who was trapped was not panicked at all. Although there were many people in front of him, they could not pose any threat to him.

The only black-armored masters who might pose a threat were only six, and these six could not stop him.

Tonight, Prince Lin can’t even think of escaping!
……

"Where are we going?!"

On the other side, An Ning, who had been dragged by Lin Jiangnian to run in the grove for a long time, finally came to his senses and couldn't help but ask.

Your Highness, where are you taking her?
"Run away."

"Run, where to?"

Facing An Ning's question, Lin Jiangnian stopped and looked around. They were now in a small forest. The trees in the forest were lush and leafy, blocking out the sun.

"This is it."

Lin Jiang murmured in a young voice.

An Ning had a tense face and was completely confused.

She really wanted to ask what His Highness was going to do tonight. The black-robed leader's martial arts skills were so terrifying that the only person who could stop him was probably her own princess!
But His Highness did not intend to let the princess stop the leader. Instead, he gathered all the guards and masters brought from Linjiang City, trying to use the human wave tactic to delay the opponent?

But, this is obviously unlikely!
The black-robed leader was too powerful. He was at least at the level of a first-grade Grandmaster. With such strength, he was no longer someone who could be easily trapped and killed by sheer numbers!
An Ning had been following Lin Jiangnian and saw it clearly. It was impossible for those guards to trap the other party. Even if the Lin Wang army and the six black-armored masters took action, they could at most delay the other party's pace and buy time for His Highness to escape and retreat.

But His Highness has no intention of retreating!

From the very beginning, An Ning knew that Lin Jiangnian had no intention of leaving here.

Although she was not very smart and sometimes quite absent-minded, from the behavior of His Highness in the past few days, it could be seen that His Highness was deliberately waiting for the leader to appear here.

But now that the leader has appeared, His Highness has inexplicably taken her away.

Why is this?

An Ning really wanted to ask, but in the end she didn't.

Lin Jiangnian seemed to see the doubt in the sword-holding girl's eyes. He narrowed his eyes and said, "He is at least a half-step grandmaster. None of us here tonight, including your princess, can match him."

"There is no chance of winning in a head-on confrontation!"

Hearing this, An Ning suddenly raised her head.

Half-step to Grandmaster realm?

A hint of astonishment flashed across the girl's pretty eyes.

An Ning naturally knew what being a half-step grandmaster meant. Grandmaster?
At present, it is still doubtful whether there are any great masters in the world. Many years ago, there were no great masters in the world.

Half-step Grandmaster is already the top master in the world!
but……

There was a hint of doubt in An Ning's eyes. When she looked at the other party before, he didn't seem to have the strength of a half-step grandmaster...it seemed that he was a little worse?
"I'm afraid there's something wrong with his body. Although he's a half-step grandmaster, he can't exert his full strength."

Lin Jiangnian saw An Ning's confusion and explained softly.

This is also the reason why Lin Jiangnian dared to be so unscrupulous tonight and even sit at the same table with the leader.

If this leader is a genuine half-step grandmaster, Lin Jiangnian will run as far as he can tonight and will definitely not show up.

"However, it's not that easy to deal with him..."

Lin Jiangnian originally wanted to lure the enemy into a trap in the inn and use a life-threatening approach to detain the leader, but he failed!
However, Lin Jiangnian didn't think he would succeed for sure. It was just an attempt at his first step!

If he succeeds, that would be the best. If not, he still has a backup plan.

"If you want to kill him, you must first hold him back and find a way to wear him out..."

Lin Jiangnian narrowed his eyes. A half-step grandmaster who was in peak condition. Even if this half-step grandmaster was not worthy of the title, he was still an extremely terrifying and difficult existence.

Therefore, before dealing with him, you must first deplete his strength.

The six black-armored masters, the Lin Wang Army, and the Prince's personal army that Lin Jiangnian brought from the Lin Wang Palace this time are an important part of this.

Lin Jiangnian didn't expect that they could kill the leader. Their mission tonight was to delay the leader as much as possible and consume his strength.

But, this also means... the sacrifice will be great!

The gap in strength meant that someone would be sacrificed tonight. As for how many casualties there would be, Lin Jiangnian had no idea.

He had tried his best to avoid too many casualties, relying mainly on the well-trained Linwang Army, which was fully armed and armored, and on long-range attacks to consume the enemy, but casualties were still inevitable.

An Jing, who was standing by, listened quietly, not quite understanding what was said. When she looked up at Lin Jiangnian again, she saw that he was looking in the direction from which he came. His face was slightly gloomy, as if he was worried about something.

It was pitch black in the distance, the grass and leaves were swaying, and everything was quiet. For some reason, seeing this peaceful scene, I felt a little uneasy.

She looked at Lin Jiangnian's profile, as if she wanted to say something. But in the end, she said nothing. She retracted her gaze and lowered her head again.

Her eyes suddenly fell on her hands, and she suddenly realized... when His Highness pulled her here just now, he had not let go of her hand.

An Ning was stunned for a moment, looking a little dazed.

She subconsciously tried to break free, but for some reason her body seemed unable to move. She just stayed there, allowing the world to remain silent.

However, the silence did not last long.

A dark shadow appeared silently in the distance, breaking the silence.

Under the dim moonlight, the figure of the black-robed leader appeared in front of Lin Jiangnian again.

At this moment, he was even more embarrassed than before, his black robe was tattered, and the strong smell of blood filled the air. It was obvious that the aura of this black-robed leader was beginning to become a little chaotic! But the aura on his body was thicker and stronger than before!
The cold and murderous eyes under the bronze mask stared at Lin Jiangnian: "I have said that no one can escape from my grasp!"

"You can't run away tonight!"

The leader was already enraged at this moment!
No one could hurt him tonight, but he felt extremely humiliated and ashamed of being made fun of!

He could easily suppress the so-called Prince of Lin with one hand. However, the other party had deployed so many ants, causing him embarrassing trouble!

"All your struggles are in vain."

At this moment, the black-robed leader's wide black robe was fluttering in the night wind, and the momentum between heaven and earth was overwhelming.

An Ning drew his sword, took a step forward and stood in front of Lin Jiangnian, staring at him with a tenacious gaze, his clear eyes full of vigilance and coldness.

"You are no match for him!"

Lin Jiang sighed, took a step forward and pulled An Ning back.

The girl still refused to listen and was determined to fight the other party.

An Ning had a blank expression on her face. Although she was pulled back by Lin Jiangnian, she still remained alert and ready to take action.

"You are indeed very powerful. You are the strongest of all the opponents and enemies I have ever seen."

Lin Jiangnian looked at him calmly: "However, if you give me another five years, no... three years, I am absolutely confident that I can surpass you."

Under the black robe, the pair of cold eyes stared at him: "You have no chance!"

"Of course, this prince does not need this opportunity."

Lin Jiang shook his head and said, "This prince can't wait that long. This is where you will be buried tonight."

"This prince has prepared a great gift for you!" (End of this chapter)
