All the heavens, starting with Little Li Flying Dagger

Chapter 101 Jing Wuming, I'm on top!

A branch of the Money Gang.

The Money Gang is a powerful force in the martial arts world that controls 63 provinces across seven provinces in the south and north. Shangguan Jin Hong claims to be at the pinnacle of power in the martial arts world, but in reality, he does not have a fixed stronghold.

In order to maintain control of his vast power, Shangguan Jin Hong often moved between the various branch headquarters and personally handled all matters.

Those who frequently hold power know that there is no power vacuum.

If you don't do things personally, someone will erode and undermine your power, which is something Shangguan Jin Hong cannot accept.

To some extent, wherever Shangguan Jin Hong is located, that is the headquarters of the Money Gang.

The branch, located near Chang'an, was heavily guarded, with sentries every few steps. Martial arts masters dressed in black moved swiftly and agilely, patrolling in shifts, creating a scene of near-imperial security, much like a palace.
But they weren't actually there to guard the place; they were there for one thing only—to prove Shangguan Jin Hong's status.

Because if someone wanted to assassinate the nominal number two on the Weapon Ranking, who is actually number one, it would be too foolish.

But Wang Gan was different; he had plenty of methods and strength.
He planned to kill everyone who saw him; that would be a perfect assassination, right?

"I've been looking for this for ages!"

Wang Gan stood calmly in front of the villa.

It seems Shangguan Jin Hong is also always ready to deal with him; his hiding place is only a little over a hundred miles away from Chang'an.
The Money Gang was not a secretive organization, and with the help of the Mind Control Technique, Wang Gan easily found Shangguan Jin Hong's trail.

"who!?"

"stop!"

The bearded guard at the door turned cold and drew his sword.

Wang Gan ignored them completely and walked past them as if no one else was there.

The moment Wang Gan passed through the doorway, the guards suddenly fell silent, their expressions gone, their faces frozen at the moment they drew their swords. They collapsed to the ground with a thud!

Bang bang bang!
They didn't even know how they died, let alone how the other side attacked.

"There are assassins!"

"Someone broke in!"

"Quickly, call someone here!"

The guards inside the manor were more skilled in martial arts and more well-trained. Upon seeing the intruder, they immediately drew their swords and surrounded Wang Gan!

Hidden weapons, long swords, short swords, and spears.
Different kinds of weapons swarmed forward, weaving together in the air to create a chilling killing intent.
Those assigned to protect Shangguan Jin Hong were no ordinary fighters; in fact, they could be considered experts. Their combined attack was not to be underestimated by any master in the martial arts world.
Of course, Wang Gan is not included.

Wang Gan merely glanced at them, casually grabbed one of the long swords, and held it in his hand.

Then bang!
Iron filings, like a torrential rain of pear blossoms, exploded from Wang Ganping's ordinary palm!

It continuously scanned the surrounding air, including the people in the air.

Iron filings imbued with terrifying internal force transformed into the world's most terrifying hidden weapons, capable of penetrating even refined iron, let alone the human body.

Bang bang bang!
The enemies around them exploded next; the iron filings did not pierce through their bodies, but instead exploded inside them.

Because Wang Gan was in a bad mood and didn't want to leave the body intact, the iron filings inevitably had more internal energy attached to them.

drizzling
Blood and gore rained down, but Wang Gan remained untouched, simply walking through another door.

Wang Gan stepped across the threshold and found a man holding a meteor hammer leaning against the threshold with a hint of excitement on his face.

"I've wanted to fight you, Impermanent Hand, for a long time."

The man didn't even glance at the dead guards around him; he only stared at the hand that was impermanent.

You might not know me yet...

Click!

[Kill the supporting character 'Meteor Hammer' Xiang Song to gain 300 Fate Points.]

Wang Gan sighed and withdrew his hand that had snapped his neck.

"Okay, now I know."

boom!
Xiang Song's body fell to the ground with a thud, his eyes filled with disbelief.

In the instant before he died, he was still thinking about how Wang Gan had crossed the distance of a courtyard in an instant and snapped his neck.

Apparition?
"I thought you wouldn't be so stupid, Wuchang Shou." A calm voice came from inside the door.

Wang Gan pushed the door open and, sure enough, saw Shangguan Jin Hong's figure.

Inside the gate was a simple, even shabby, courtyard, with nothing but a stone table and documents on it.

Shangguan Jin Hong stood in front of the stone table, with a silent shadow behind him—Jing Wuming.

"Just some of the little tricks you've used yourself have made you lose your mind and dare to face me alone."

Shangguan Jin Hong had a hint of pleasure on her face.
This guy finally understands how he feels.

"Tips and tricks?"

Wang Gan realized that Shangguan Jin Hong was likely unaware of Lin Xian'er's subsequent plans.
After all, given Shangguan Jin Hong's secret identity as a member of the Azure Dragon Society, he would inevitably be more cautious in his attitude towards the imperial family, and might not agree to Lin Xian'er's plan.

"Or is it that defeating an invincible divine blade gave you unnecessary confidence?"

Shangguan Jin Hong continued to undermine Wang Gan's confidence, boasting about the Money Gang's intelligence network.

He was demonstrating, letting Wang Gan know that his every move was under his surveillance.

"You've misunderstood..."

Wang Gan grinned, revealing his gleaming white teeth.

"I just find this kind of 'playing house' in the martial arts world a bit boring now."

"I'm going to flip the table."

The next second, Shangguan Jin Hong's expression changed drastically, because the aura coming from the other side gave him a deadly sense of crisis!
Like a celestial being descending from the heavens, elusive and unpredictable, or like a god or demon descending to suppress everything.

Will die!
This was the ultimate warning from Shangguan Jin Hong's keen intuition!

Before he could even ponder why Wang Gan's martial arts had improved so unusually, Shangguan Jin Hong spoke in an instant.
"Jing Wuming! I'm up there!"

"Um?!"

These unprovoked, ambiguous words even startled Wang Gan for a moment.
Are you really going to ride Jing Wuming to escape for your life?
This is so bizarre!
But in fact, it was not. It was Shangguan Jin Hong's hidden trump card, a combined attack technique used with Jing Wuming!

Suddenly, Shangguan Jin Hong rose into the air, landing on Jing Wuming's shoulder, and the Dragon and Phoenix Rings flew from his hands.

Almost simultaneously, Jing Wuming's right-hand sword, swift as a shooting star, pierced straight into the Dragon and Phoenix Twin Rings!

The longsword pierced straight into the ring, striking the very center. In an instant, the sword energy and the surrounding energy merged into one, becoming indistinguishable.

Wang Gan's eyes widened, his pupils dilating in shock.

No?! Is this your tactic working?!

Did you learn this combined attack technique from Chengdu? That's way too ambiguous!
It's even more ambiguous than what I just said!
Wang Gan strongly suspected that the purpose of this move was to disgust him to death, rather than to kill him.

Shangguan Jin Hong succeeded, and now he really wants to get a pair of eyes that have never seen this move before.

Seeing that Wang Gan had closed his eyes and seemed to have given up resisting, Shangguan Jin Hong looked somewhat smug.

Indeed, this move was invented after he read Wang Gan's book about him and Jing Wuming, sparking a burst of inspiration.
The sword enters the ring, and the ring is outside the sword; the sword and the ring are one, of one mind!
Combining his and Jing Wuming's strongest attacks, the power is increased to an even higher level.

With this move, "Unity of Minds and Body," Shangguan Jin Hong was confident that if he faced Wang Gan again, he could defeat him in one blow!
Even though Wang Gan's martial arts skills are now beyond his imagination, Shangguan Jin Hong believes that this move can pose a sufficient threat to Wang Gan.

Keng!
The invisible golden energy transformed into a golden bell, firmly blocking the longsword and double rings, preventing them from advancing an inch.

"Golden Bell Shield?!"

Shangguan Jin Hong's expression changed.
As the number one martial artist in the world, he naturally understood most of the martial arts techniques available. Shangguan Jin Hong knew that even if one only practiced the Golden Bell Shield and reached the pinnacle of skill, it would be impossible to withstand the combined attack of two top-tier masters with perfect coordination.

There is only one possibility: Wang Gan's internal energy cultivation has transcended the ordinary and reached the level of an immortal or Buddha.

Wang Gan sighed.

He originally intended to catch the attack with his bare hands, in order to uphold Shangguan Jin Hong's reputation as the best in the world.

But after seeing this move, Wang Gan immediately changed his mind. After all, his eyes were already dirty, and he couldn't afford to dirty his hands as well.

After this move, Shangguan Jin Hong landed gracefully, his expression already ashen.

He is not dead yet, but his heart is dead.
