Madam, please listen to my explanation.

Chapter 24: Only a Second-Rank
The man in black pulled off the black veil covering his face, revealing two rows of yellowish teeth.

"Oh? How do you know? It wasn't me who came here on my own initiative to kill you?"

Spitting out a mouthful of blood foam, Xu Jinhuan said disdainfully:

“Stop flattering yourself.

You don’t have the guts.”

"court death!!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhen Zhiping stepped heavily on the ground and rushed towards Xu Jinhuan like a cannonball!
He was born in Yunliu Town.

Born into a farming family, he has had endless energy since he was young.

It was precisely because of this that Ning Caixie took a fancy to him and accepted him as his disciple.

After years of hard training and with the help of his master, he has already reached the peak of the third-grade Qi Hai realm.

To deal with this powerless pretty boy
One hand is enough!
Zhen Zhiping's right hand formed into a claw, and his black robe fluttered, giving off a fierce and vigorous vigor.

The fingertips cut through the air, making a sharp whistling sound.

As the distance between the two grew closer, his laughter became more and more unbridled.

God knows how long he has been waiting for this moment!
"Watch how I tear your face apart with my own hands, so that Junior Sister A Ke will know what a real man is!"

'Shuh! '

The confident attack missed.

Zhen Zhiping looked at his palm in disbelief.

At that moment, Xu Jinhuan's figure seemed to appear briefly as a shadow, and he dodged his attack in the nick of time.

Is it a coincidence?

"Pooh."

He spat out a mouthful of blood foam.

Xu Jinhuan hooked his finger at the other party provocatively.

"Come again."

"Damn it...you're looking for death!"

"Don't you know any other lines?"

Zhen Zhiping's claws rolled up strong winds and headed straight for Xu Jinhuan's vital points.

Strands of dark yellow energy lingered around the fingertips, condensing without dispersing.

Once one reaches the third rank, one has already mastered the art of martial arts.

There is a world of difference between him and warriors who can only rely on the power of qi and blood!

Zhen Zhiping, who was born with supernatural powers, is the best among the three grades.

Just one touch from this pair of eagle claws that can split mountains and split rocks will either kill or injure you!

That was just a fluke.
Let’s see how long you can hide!

Zhen Zhiping became ruthless and sped up a little more, delivering a vicious Tiger Heart-Rip punch towards Xu Jinhuan's chest.

Xu Jinhuan's body swayed like a leaf in the wind.

No matter how fierce the opponent's attack was, he was always just a hair's breadth away and couldn't even touch a sleeve.

As each of his moves failed, Zhen Zhiping finally realized that something was wrong.

"Hey"

He actually still has the energy to speak?
"We are all from the same school."

"Still hiding things at this time.
Or, didn’t you eat?”

Zhen Zhiping's brain suddenly crashed.

From the moment the two of them confronted each other, he concentrated all his energy and attacked with all his might, not daring to breathe.

This guy actually seems to be fine and still has the energy to chat with me?
boom!
The right claw suddenly stretched out, but Xu Jinhuan dodged it with a casual tilt of his head.

The thick tree behind him was not so lucky and broke in half with a loud bang.

Zhen Zhiping was delighted.

Now let’s see where you can hide!

Just as he was about to press on with his victory, a strong warning suddenly arose in his heart.

He forcibly stopped his attack, jumped back hard, and put a lot of distance between himself and the opponent.

Xu Jinhuan unsheathed the sword at his waist half an inch and said with interest:
"Not bad, quite alert."

Zhen Zhiping's breathing was heavy, rumbling like a bellows.

"Impossible. You are only a second-rank."

Xu Jinhuan put away his playful expression and twisted his wrist. "The first level opens the five orifices, the second level strengthens the muscles and bones, and the third level penetrates the sea of ​​qi."
Speed ​​and power, that's what it is."

He took the initiative to approach the other person step by step, his eyes cold, as if he was looking at a dead person.

sulfuric acid!
There was a flash of silver light, and the long sword was unsheathed.

Xu Jinhuan's steps were like a ghost, and he took the initiative to move towards the other party!

The long sword moved as fast as the wind, but it did not carry any imagery, it just swung forward in a plain and simple manner.

Zhen Zhiping raised his arm to block, but the knife suddenly turned in mid-flight, and the heavy side of the blade hit his waist and abdomen hard.

"We grew up together in the mountains. I've seen you practicing all day long."

After a successful strike, Xu Jinhuan didn't give his opponent any chance to breathe. He raised his knife and stabbed again!

"There are several flaws, many truths and falsehoods, I already know them by heart."

The more Zhen Zhiping listened, the more frightened he became. He was not careful and was hit in the face by the other party's knife!

Even though his protective energy was strong, the knife still scratched his skin, leaving a trace of blood on his forehead.

Xu Jinhuan looked at Zhen Zhiping with disheveled hair and snorted coldly:
"A mere second rank. Killing you is enough!"
-
Ning Caixie tore off the cotton cloth from Zhao Ruoxi's mouth and put it into his sleeve calmly.

"Look at my disciple. He really doesn't know what it means to be gentle and considerate to women."

Once again facing the leader of the Hehuan Sect, even though Xu Jinhuan was not by her side, Zhao Ruoxi no longer felt any panic in her heart.

Although the old man opposite her was tall and burly, she naturally felt a sense of contempt:
"Master Ning, right?"

Ning Caixie smiled and nodded.

"Have you burned incense and offered sacrifices to your ancestors recently?"

Ning Caixie was confused by the other party's sudden question and asked with a smile:

"What does your Highness mean by this?"

Zhao Ruoxi's eyes were frosty.

That cold look made Ning Caixie suddenly feel as if she was the prisoner tied to the bamboo pole.

"Perhaps the ancestral graves are filled with smoke. Otherwise, for a country bumpkin like you, meeting me once is already a blessing."

"Stand back a bit. The air you exhale is making me feel dirty."

"Hahahaha-"

Ning Caixie seemed to have heard something extremely funny and was laughing so hard that she fell over.

“Your Highness, what a magnificent demeanor!
"I've been kidnapped and brought to this remote village for quite some time. I'm afraid I don't know how turbulent things have become in the capital."

He put one hand behind his back, his eyes deep, lost in memories:

"In the past, there was a founder of the sect who assisted Emperor Wu in ascending the throne and achieved unparalleled merits, which is how he built up the vast foundation of Qingluan Mountain.

"Ning is not talented! Although I am over fifty years old, I also want to emulate my ancestors and achieve great things!"

At this moment, his chest seemed to be filled with boundless ambition. He did not look like a white-haired old man at all, but rather a sharp blade drawn from its sheath.

"I almost forgot, your brother Jingqian has taken over the reign of Great Yan and changed the reign title to 'Xiangfu'.
Congratulations, Your Highness! Congratulations, Your Highness! "

After saying that, Ning Caixie turned around and looked at the woman tied to the purple bamboo, trying to see expressions of shock, confusion, uneasiness, etc. on her face.

Once again, he was disappointed.
"so what?"

Zhao Ruoxi's face was as calm as a well, even with a hint of joking:
"Even if that sickly man takes over the throne, how many years can he live?"

Recalling Xu Jinhuan's earnest teachings before leaving, she chuckled:
"Mr. Ning, don't you know that our father has more than one heir?"

A hint of murderous intent flashed in Ning Caixie's eyes, but he hid it well.

"Your Highness, please don't worry about these things."

Zhao Ruoxi seemed to have thought of something happy and suddenly laughed out loud.

Facing Ning Caixie's suspicious gaze, she smiled and said:

“Your faction is truly eye-opening.

Earlier, I saw the noble lady in red touching the man surnamed Xu, and they were very intimate. I thought she was his mistress.

I just found out last night, is it your wife?"

boom!
Zhao Ruoxi's eyes blurred and before she could see clearly what happened, she felt a sharp pain in her neck and her breathing became increasingly difficult.

The frosty-haired old man in front of him was like an enraged lion, grabbing his throat tightly.

"What a sharp-tongued girl!"
