son, don't mess around

‘Click’!
Night falls, under the tree.

Lin Jiangnian raised his head and looked forward. The hunchbacked old man in his sight slowly stood up straight without him knowing when.

As his hunched figure disappeared, a low, explosive gray shadow appeared in his place.

At this moment, everyone's faces became solemn.

The bag that Shen An had been carrying all the time was finally opened silently.

A long, silver sword appeared in his hand.

It is about three or four feet long, the blade is slightly curved, and the blade is extremely smooth, able to reflect people's figures in the dark.

Shen An, holding a knife in his hand, seemed to have transformed his temperament.

At this moment, he was no longer an old man in his twilight years, but seemed to have returned to his prime. His clothes rustled in the cold wind.

The sleeve with the missing hand was blown flat by the wind, making him look extremely lonely.

The hand holding the long knife had the tip of the knife against the ground, rubbing against the stones on the ground, emitting a cold light.

At this moment, there was silence all around.

Duan Tiande's face turned extremely ugly. He knew Shen An, so how could he not know this person's origins?

This person's background is quite ordinary. It is rumored that he came from a small sect in the martial arts world. Later, due to poor management, the small sect finally went bankrupt a few years ago, and the brothers and disciples in the sect dispersed.

Although Shen An came from a small sect, his talent in martial arts was not bad. At the age of forty, he entered the second level.

Over the years, I have been in the second level realm for a long time.

Even though he lost an arm after failing to assassinate Lin Jiangnian a year ago and disappeared for so long, Duan Tiande couldn't guarantee how much strength he still had.

What’s more important is…Shen An is good with swordsmanship!

However, Duan Tiande had never seen him use a knife.

Even when he assassinated Lin Jiangnian a year ago, he was not seen using any weapons.

And tonight, Shen An drew his sword for the first time.

At this moment, Duan Tiande's face was gloomy: "Kill Lin Jiangnian first!"

He is anxious!

All the previous confidence in victory vanished with the sudden appearance of Shen An. Lin Jiangnian must be killed first, otherwise, once his reinforcements arrive, everything will be over.

In an instant, seven or eight assassins who were chasing him from all directions launched another surprise attack on Lin Jiangnian.

At the same time, Yue Qing also moved!

He took a sudden step forward with a spear in his hand, his breath sinking.

"Humph!"

His legs were like two deep footprints on the ground. He used the force to leap up into the air, holding the spear and suddenly thrusting it down, heading straight for Shen An.

Shen An stood there, holding the knife in one hand, and swung the knife at the moment Yue Qing approached. His speed was extremely fast, and in the short breath when Yue Qing approached, he had already exchanged several moves.

The spear in Yue Qing's hand was extremely domineering, and its power of Po Jun was undisguised. He rushed straight in front of Shen An, not giving the other party any chance to breathe.

Kill him while he is old!
The young and vigorous Yue Qing increased his energy and blood to the limit, determined to knock down the old man's knife in front of him.

Shen An's eyes were deep and his aura was also rising.

Holding the knife in one hand, he brought down the sword one after another, blocking the opponent's attack shot after shot.

After a brief confrontation, Yue Qing, who was at the peak of his powers, ranked second in the ranking of martial arts masters.

At the moment, he couldn't get any advantage from the old man.

But as time went on, Shen An began to lose the upper hand. His breathing became disordered, and his sword skills also gradually became chaotic.

He is old after all!

A year ago, the night he assassinated Lin Jiangnian was the peak of his strength!

But it was also on that night that he was defeated by a talented woman.

He lost an arm, his spiritual heart was shattered, and his strength plummeted!
But now, at the age of nearly sixty, his strength is no longer at its peak.

He also met Yue Qing, who was holding the Pojun Spear, ranked second in the list of martial arts masters and was at the peak of his powers. The two clashed and one gained strength while the other lost.

Shen An is old after all!

But even so, he still did not retreat. He raised his sword and leapt to fight against Yue Qing. Under the blade, Yue Qing suddenly realized that Shen An's breath was gradually weakening. He tried to quickly resolve the entanglement, and raised his blood and energy again, and pierced through with the spear in his hand.

Shen An raised his knife and stood in front of Yue Qing, not retreating a single step. All of Yue Qing's fierce moves were blocked by Shen An one by one.

He clearly felt that the opponent's momentum had weakened a lot, but he was unable to break through the opponent's defense, which made Yue Qing feel depressed.

Getting more anxious!
On the other side, when Yue Qing was entangled with Shen An, Duan Tiande immediately ordered the assassin to attack Lin Jiangnian under the tree.

Under the tree, Lin Jiangnian sat there powerlessly, his eyes dazed and he looked like he couldn't move.

Until an assassin approached him, with the sharp blade in his hand about to pierce Lin Jiangnian's heart.

Lin Jiangnian suddenly jumped up.

The assassin suddenly trembled, his eyes widened in disbelief, staring at Lin Jiangnian in front of him.

Under the tree, Lin Jiangnian was still sitting there, but he had grasped the sword in his hand again at some point and pierced his heart accurately.

Even the assassin didn't realize how he did it.

His body stiffened and he fell down with a bang.

Not far away, Duan Tiande's pupils shrank.

Still struggling?!
After dealing with the assassin, Lin Jiangnian finally stopped hiding and stood up slowly with difficulty. His face was pale. At this moment, the other black-clad assassins around him were approaching.

Lin Jiangnian raised his sword and sneered, "It's not that easy to kill me."

The killer in black follows closely.

Lin Jiangnian's hand holding the sword was shaking, but his movements were not slow at all. The moment an assassin approached, he took a step forward, flashed in front of the opponent like a ghost, and cut the assassin's throat with a sword.

Then, he used the assassin's body as a shield to block the other assassin's blade, and stabbed the opponent's heart with his sword.

It’s very fast, quick decision!

In just a few breaths, Lin Jiangnian eliminated all the seven or eight black-clad assassins who attacked him.

After dealing with the last killer, he became unsteady on his feet, staggered back, and returned to the tree again. His breathing became rapid, his face turned pale, and his whole body was shaking.

At this time, Duan Tiande appeared in front of Lin Jiangnian with a sword in hand. His eyes were complicated and gloomy: "I really underestimated you!"

The martial arts talent of the Prince of Lin in front of him, as well as the potential he unleashed when facing life and death, was beyond his imagination.

If I keep this child, I really don’t dare to imagine what the future will be like.

But unfortunately, he has to die here tonight!

No matter how much of a last-ditch struggle you put up, it will all end here.

He had just used the force to buy time, and now after dealing with seven or eight assassins, he was finally at the end of his strength.

Duan Tiande raised his sword and approached.

Lin Jiangnian, leaning against a tree with his eyes narrowed, was gradually losing consciousness, his whole body limp and powerless.

Until Duan Tiande approached with a sword and stabbed!

The world changed suddenly.

Lin Jiangnian, who was originally pale, suddenly jumped up again.

Duan Tiande, who was well prepared, gathered his mind, condensed his internal energy into the sword in his hand, and stabbed forward with a bang.

No matter what cards he has, he must die.

Duan Tiande's eyes were cold and he growled with gritted teeth.

I have pushed all my internal energy to its limit, and I must kill this guy today.

However, Duan Tiande still underestimated the power of Lin Jiangnian's sword when he suddenly jumped up at the brink of death. Lin Jiangnian, who was standing under the tree, fixed his eyes at the moment Duan Tiande approached, and suddenly raised his head, with a gleam of light flashing across his face.

This is the opportunity he has been waiting for!
From the time he fled here until now, he has been waiting for an opportunity!
Waiting for this opportunity to take action!

Lin Jiangnian, who was originally "dying", suddenly burst out with a powerful and terrifying aura, as if it had been suppressed and hidden for a long time, and it burst out.

The sword in his hand swung out several sword energies in an instant, and the sword energy was crisscrossed and filled the sky.

At this moment, murderous intent filled the air.

The terrifying aura condensed on the tip of Lin Jiangnian's sword, and facing Duan Tiande's approach, he stabbed out with the sword!
In an instant!
"Boom!"

A violent explosion sounded, and the roar of the inner force and true energy resounded throughout the world at this moment. In the silent night, the movement was extremely loud.

Even Yue Qing and Shen An, who were anxiously arguing nearby, noticed the movement under the tree at the same time.

Shen An's face changed slightly and he was shocked.

It was at this moment that Yue Qing found the key flaw and thrust his spear straight in.

"boom!"

The spear just brushed past his shoulder. Shen An looked carefully and felt a burning pain in his shoulder, with blood slowly flowing down.

Looking up, Yue Qing had a deep gaze and approached again with a gun in hand.

"Anyone who stands in my way will die!"

Shen An's face turned pale, but he did not retreat at all, and his aura seemed to be even stronger.

……

After the rumbling explosion, the shaky tree also suffered and fell down. Under the tree, Lin Jiangnian was blown away by the powerful internal energy.

"boom!"

He fell heavily to the ground, his face pale, and his internal organs felt as if they had been hit hard.

"puff!"

An uncomfortable feeling pressed on my chest, a fishy and sweet taste came out of my throat, and I spat out a mouthful of blood.

The next second, the world was spinning and I fell down powerlessly.

"Ding!"

The long sword in his hand fell to the ground, Lin Jiangnian could no longer hold on, and his body was shaking.

He tried his best!

This last thrust of the sword completely drained all the internal energy in his body.

This time, it's really impotent!

Given the situation tonight, if I could survive, I would probably be unable to move for ten days or half a month.

Lin Jiangnian fell to the ground and looked forward with difficulty.

At this moment, the smoke was thick and gradually dissipated.

Dead or not?
He should die after this sword strike, right?
If only I wasn’t dead!

I'm afraid he will be the one who dies tonight.

As the smoke clears.

"Cough cough cough..."

A strong cough sounded, and Lin Jiangnian's mood suddenly sank to the bottom.

A disheveled figure gradually appeared in sight.

His clothes were tattered, like a beggar scavenging for rubbish, he was dark all over, and he stood up unsteadily, swaying.

There was another heavy cough, followed by a mouthful of blood.

"puff!"

Duan Tiande was about to fall, but he still managed to hold on.

At this moment, his eyes were filled with horror, fear and dread. He looked down and saw that his tattered clothes were already stained with blood.

injured!
Seriously injured!

He almost died!

He still underestimated Lin Jiangnian!

Fortunately, he didn't die.

Duan Tiande regained his balance after staggering for a while. He slowly raised his head and stared at Lin Jiangnian in front of him. His voice was low and trembling a little: "What kind of move was that sword just now?"

Even though he was clearly dying, the Prince of Lin was still able to wield a sword with such terrifying power!
Why does that sword seem familiar?

what exactly is it?
Lin Jiangnian did not answer his question. When he saw that Duan Tiande did not die from his sword, he knew that he was doomed!

This time he was really dead.

At this moment, Lin Jiangnian finally stopped struggling, fell to the ground, and waited for death.

"Ahem... Fortunately, I'm not dead."

At this moment, Duan Tiande was terrified but also thankful: "It seems that God will not let me die."

"It's God who wants you to die!"

"Prince Lin, prepare to die."

At this moment, no one can stop him.

Shen An over there was unable to take care of himself and was already being held back by Yue Qing, unable to escape.

Duan Tiande raised his sword, shaky, and walked towards Lin Jiangnian again with quick steps.

There were too many surprises tonight!
We must kill this guy quickly. Only after killing him will everything be settled.

Duan Tiande didn't say any more nonsense, nor did he hold back. In an instant, he was in front of Lin Jiangnian, and his sword fell!

The shining silver sword tip pierced towards Lin Jiangnian's heart, quickly, accurately and ruthlessly!

Lin Jiangnian closed his eyes, now he was really waiting to die.

He tried his best!

I was so tired that my consciousness began to fade.

Just die, die with that Princess Xu.

also!

At least he would have a beauty to accompany him after his death, and when he went to the underworld, he would let Princess Xu Wang ride on him like a cow or a horse...

Perhaps it was because he was facing life and death that Lin Jiangnian's eyes and ears became clearer. In the dead of night, he seemed to sense a familiar movement.

It seemed to come from thousands of miles away and arrived in an instant.

From far to near!

The feeling is extremely strong!

"Ding!"

A clear and pleasant sound was heard in the night sky.

Lin Jiangnian found that he was not dead, and the sword that had just been suspended did not stab down.

The numbing feeling all over my body suddenly faded away.

He opened his eyes with difficulty, and saw Duan Tiande's face suddenly changed in front of him. He looked around in panic.

"Who?!" He shouted sharply, and the next second, he raised his sword again and stabbed at Lin Jiangnian. As the sword approached, there was no wind around, and a majestic aura suddenly rushed towards him.

Duan Tiande, who had just approached, was instantly repelled by the terrifying aura.

In the dark night, the trees in the jungle shook wildly, and leaves kept falling down, which were picked up by the strong wind on the ground to form a tornado.

Immediately afterwards, these leaves were swept by the strong wind and suddenly attacked Duan Tiande.

"puff!"

Duan Tiande's eyes showed fear, he raised his sword and slashed, but was blown away by the strong wind again.

"boom!"

He lay on the ground, spitting out blood, and looked up with horror.

“Who, who is it?!”

The strong wind gradually died down and the fallen leaves scattered all over the sky.

In the dark night, a figure in a red dress slowly appeared above the shade of the trees. In the quiet night, the red dress was like blood, so bright that it also added a layer of enchantment to the night!
The red skirt fluttered, reflecting a stunningly beautiful figure. Then, the red skirt slowly descended from the shade of the tree and landed beside Lin Jiangnian.

Seeing this scene in a daze, Lin Jiangnian was so moved that tears almost flowed down his face.

The reinforcements finally arrived!
