Joy of Life: Grandmaster of the Fan Family

Fan Bin was shocked.

With his lightness and strength, he really didn't think that anyone could discover his trace.

Soon, the facts proved this.

Two men in black jumped down from the tree. The moment they came down, the ascetics surrounded them.

"Ninth grade?"

Although the two sides have not yet taken action, those ascetics have already judged the strength of the other side through the performance of the man in black.

"What a coincidence!"

In order to avoid alerting the enemy, Fan Bin deliberately concealed his aura and even closed his mental power.

As a result, Fan Bin could no longer monitor the surroundings like a radar as before. It was also for this reason that Fan Bin regarded the movements of the two men in black as secret sentinels.

He heard someone in the tree.

But Fan Bin thought the person in the tree was a guard hiding in the dark.

When Fan Bin was the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard, he often did this. The guards had to be one in the open and one in the dark. In the open area, there had to be someone patrolling regularly...

Although this approach may not necessarily catch all the assassins.

For example, the powerful Si Gu Jian.

When he came to the Qing Palace, even the sentries arranged by Fan Bin did not find any clues.

But most assassins cannot escape this monitoring system.

The two men in black, even though they were powerful ninth-grade warriors, were able to hide in a place where there were obviously secret sentries.

This made Fan Bin feel surprised.

This also made Fan Bin clearly realize that the people in charge of the First Imperial Palace were no longer his subordinates, but ascetics.

Compared to the Imperial Guards, the ascetics are definitely more powerful.

There is no way around it. Those who can become ascetics not only have extremely high natural talents, but are also willing to endure hardships.

Compared to other people, they are naturally stronger, and not just a little bit stronger.

But there are specialties in the art industry.

Letting these ascetics be responsible for guarding the imperial palace would undoubtedly expose their shortcomings.

Or to put it more bluntly, they are simply not qualified for the job and are just doing it to get by.

"Who is it?"

Thinking of this, Fan Bin looked at the two ninth-rank assassins curiously.

Don’t think that Fan Bin had met so many ninth-grade masters in one breath on Mount Dadong before, even many masters above the ninth rank.

But this does not mean that strong people with ninth-grade strength are cabbages, they can be found everywhere.

Quite the opposite is true…

Looking around the world, there are only so many ninth-grade masters, and their total number is just over three digits.

Many of them are immortal old beings who have lived for many years and have been in seclusion.

If it weren’t for the grand event at Dadongshan, those old guys might never show up in their entire lives.

Moreover, the proportion of these old guys is particularly high.

In addition to them, there are also some people who guard the major families.

For example, the ninth rank officials of the Ye family and the Qin family, except for those who have duties, most of them hide in their own families and will not show up easily.

After throwing these two groups of people out, there are only about 20 to 30 ninth-grade masters who are active in front of everyone.

None of them is an unknown person.

Fan Bin guessed that the person who could specially come to the Qing Palace at this time might be an old acquaintance of his.

That's why he wanted to find out the identities of the two.

After taking a closer look at the two men in black, judging from their size and aura, Fan Bin seemed to be somewhat familiar.

"He is not Si Gu Jian's disciple, but a person from Northern Qi..."

When the two men drew their weapons, Fan Bin became more familiar with the situation.

"This little girl is really busy!"

These two people are not just familiar to him, Fan Bin has a relatively good understanding of them overall.

One of them was Haitang Duoduo, the Saintess of Northern Qi.

This little girl came to the Qing Palace without even saying hello to Fan Bin.

The other one is the little girl’s senior brother, named Lang Tao.

Both of them are super masters above the ninth level.

However, even super masters like them were quickly recognized when they appeared in the palace where ascetics gathered.

"Who am I? It turns out that the Saint Lady of Northern Qi has come to visit."

A tall man among the ascetics who looked a little fat said with a sneer.

It was obvious that the other party had recognized Haitang Duoduo's identity.

"What Northern Qi Saint? I don't even know her."

Of course Haitang Duoduo would never admit it.

The appearance of an assassin in the Qing Palace is not a big deal in itself.

If the Qing Palace is not attacked by assassins a hundred or eighty times in a year, can it still be called the New Year?

But if Haitang Duoduo comes to assassinate, the meaning is completely different.

The identity of the Saint of Northern Qi can represent Northern Qi to a certain extent. Haitang Duoduo's purpose of coming to the Qing Palace represents the purpose of the entire Northern Qi.

Now the two countries are still confronting each other on the border.

Conflict could break out at any time!

And it's a conflict that's out of control.

If Haitang Duoduo admitted it, the nature of the matter would change completely.

"A real man should take responsibility for his actions!"

"You are right, but it's a pity that I am not a real man."

Haitang Duoduo shrugged.

The two nimble little axes in her hands kept spinning in her palms.

Now that their position has been exposed, what they have to do next is very simple.

leave here!

"Junior sister, you go first. I will stay behind to cover you."

Lang Tao's dark circles seemed to be heavier.

When he said this to Haitang Duoduo, he was determined.

"Okay, senior brother!"

Haitang Duoduo agreed readily and turned around to leave.

"Hey, we are just brothers and sisters. You don't really want me to be a shield for you, do you?"

Lang Tao was so angry that his lips turned white.

"Aren't I just listening to my senior brother?"

Haitang Duoduo scratched the back of her head awkwardly.

She wanted to leave early, but looking at the current situation, she was afraid that she couldn't do it.

The ascetics around them, due to years of hard training, have already reached the point where they remain calm even when faced with a mountain collapsing in front of them.

But when they heard the conversation between Haitang Duoduo and Langtao, a nameless anger rose in their hearts.

The two ninth-rank masters from Northern Qi seemed to have never taken them seriously from the beginning to the end.

Although they have been practicing hard, they have few opportunities to interact with others.

But this does not mean that they have really been able to cut off their seven emotions and six desires.

Just like now, after hearing what the two said, they still felt angry.

"Get them!"

The ascetic in the lead waved directly to his fellow practitioners behind him.

A group of ascetics immediately understood what was going on and rushed forward. They were not interested in fighting alone.

What they have to do is to complete the tasks assigned to them by the temple.

And now their mission is to guard the palace.

No matter who comes, they will capture him, or even kill him.

Several ascetics rushed forward. Originally, Lang Tao didn't take it seriously because the opponent's strength was less than ninth level, only seventh or eighth level.

Even if there are more of them, they are completely incomparable to him.

"Get out of the way!"

Lang Tao threw the sickles in his hands directly. Under the control of the chains, the two flying sickles were like the weapons of the god of death.

Even if a practitioner is strong enough, once hit by this weapon, his fate will definitely not be good.

"puff!"

Soon, Feijian locked onto a target.

After the ascetic was hit, he flew backwards.

"Damn it!"

After seeing this scene, the remaining ascetics not only did not feel any fear, but seemed to be aroused to ferocity.

They rushed forward one after another.

It feels like the wolf peach is going to be eaten alive.

Lang Tao could barely cope with it at the beginning, but when the number of ascetics gathered around him exceeded ten.

Lang Tao's mentality was beginning to become unbearable.

In his eyes, there was really nothing to be afraid of a lone ascetic.

He could play with the opponent just like bullying a child.

However, when the number of these people reaches more than ten, the situation will be completely different.

Even though Lang Tao is a ninth-rank master, it is still quite difficult to deal with him.

"The strength of these guys has reached the seventh or eighth level, and their foundation is very solid. Especially when they work together, their power can be superimposed..."

Lang Tao had a bad feeling.

Faced with so many people present, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to escape.

Just when Lang Tao had this thought, he was very surprised to find that his junior sister, who was originally not as strong as him, was killing everyone.

The powerful ascetic had no power to resist Haitang Duoduo at all.

The two dexterous axes chopped left and right and actually carved out a path.

When did Junior Sister become so strong?
Lang Tao widened his eyes in surprise.

The dark circles under his eyes seemed to be even heavier.

"Brother, let's go..."

Haitang Duoduo fought her way out and was about to leave with Langtao.

Not only Langtao was surprised, Haitang Duoduo herself was also extremely surprised.

The little girl didn't expect that these ascetics, who should be quite powerful, would be so vulnerable?
If Lang Tao hadn't been beaten so badly, the little girl would have suspected that these guys were playing a trick on her.
Now it seems that the strength of these ascetics is not really weak.

But she, Haitang Duoduo, is no longer the same as before.

"There are some benefits to being with Fan Bin."

Haitang Duoduo quickly figured out the reason for this issue.

What is the difference between her situation and that of her senior brother?

That must be Fan Bin.

They both have the same master, and they are both extremely talented.

There is no doubt that the reason why such a gap would eventually arise is because of Haitang Duoduo's other adventure.

Because of Zhan Doudou, Haitang Duoduo not only received guidance from Ku He, but also from the invincible grandmaster Fan Bin.

At that time, Haitang Duoduo felt that she benefited a lot.

However, the girl's strength had already reached the ninth level. Even though she benefited a lot from Fan Bin, her strength could not reach a higher level.

until now.

Haitang Duoduo finally understood what Fan Bin meant by what he had told her.
"Realm does not represent strength!"

Just like her now, although her realm is still at the ninth level, her strength has long been far superior to what it used to be.

The powerful ascetic couldn't even withstand a single attack from Haitang Duoduo.

With Haitang Duoduo's outburst, the two quickly got together and prepared to move on.

"More people are coming..."

"Leave first!"

The two brothers and sisters have had a tacit understanding for many years.

They don't even need to communicate much to understand each other's thoughts.

Just when the two of them made up their minds and wanted to leave.

The ascetics also discovered their intentions.

"We can't let them leave. Call others over..."

Although the two ninth-rank masters are extremely powerful, especially Haitang Duoduo, they are far beyond the reach of ordinary ninth-rank masters.

As soon as the ascetic steps forward, he will be chopped out by Haitang Duoduo's axe.

There was no way to stop her.

But the ascetics still firmly believed that they would be able to successfully stop the two people in front of them.

No matter how explosive these two people are, no matter how famous they are.

Ascetics have their own beliefs.

They work for the temple, and as long as they do something, they must complete it.

Northern Qi suddenly sent two ninth-grade masters. What was their purpose?
If they don't find out clearly, these ascetics would be derelict in their duty.

Haitang Duoduo and Langtao soon discovered this problem.

The number of ascetics was far greater than they had imagined.

Just as they were moving forward, thirty or forty ascetics suddenly appeared in front of them.

Furthermore, the clothes on these ascetics looked even more tattered...

Based on their experience with ascetics.

These ascetics are often stronger.

He is a senior veteran among the ascetics.

The two men had to turn around, but as soon as they turned around, they immediately encountered dozens of them again.

"How many ascetics did the temple send?"

Lang Tao felt that one third of the true energy in his body had been consumed.

But everywhere, there were ascetics.

This makes them see no hope of escaping?
"There is no one in the southwest corner."

Haitang Duoduo was killing people in all directions while observing the situation around her.

She soon noticed that there was one direction where there was no trace of the ascetics from beginning to end.

Now they are almost overwhelmed by these ascetics, and their only chance to escape and ascend to heaven is right here.

"Then let's go over there..."

Lang Tao felt a little uneasy.

But at this stage, the two of them have no choice at all.

Either aim in that direction and escape, or stay where you are and wait to be captured by these ascetics.

What will happen to them once they are captured?
Lang Tao didn't even dare to imagine it.

When they broke out this time and ran all the way to the southwest.

A miracle happened.

The ascetics who were rushing towards him from all directions seemed to have stopped.

"Have the opportunity!"

Now there was only a lonely figure in front of them.
