Becoming a god begins with the evolution of acupoint supernatural powers.

Lu Ming's pupils contracted slightly. Behind the glint of swords and the murderous intent in the rosy light was a pair of cold, masked eyes that wanted to kill him.

This was a meticulously planned assassination!

If it were anyone else, they would have moved forward quickly, and with that quick squint as the light shifted from darkness to light, they wouldn't have been able to retreat in time and would have had almost no chance of dodging this deadly strike.

However, Lu Ming was different. The situation in the city was complicated, and there was also the threat of demons. Therefore... he used his momentum to walk, while reserving all his own strength.

At that moment, seeing the blade approaching, he had a thought and withdrew his Divine Speed ​​Power, and his body instantly lost its forward momentum.

He then used the "Soaring Clouds" technique. The characteristic of the "Soaring Clouds" lightness skill is its suddenness and speed.

Lu Ming retreated with all his might, his movements so swift that even the blades couldn't catch up with him.

"How is this possible?" The assassin stared in disbelief at Lu Ming, who was suddenly retreating, watching the blade flash past him without even cutting a hair.

He's a flesh-refining martial artist, after all. Using flesh-refining strength to attack and kill Lu Ming, a skin-refining martial artist, is already using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. With such meticulous planning, how could this be the result?

Wait! His gaze suddenly sharpened.

No, Lu Ming has already broken through! He actually has the aura of the Great Perfection of Skin Refinement!

Damn it, when? A hint of annoyance flashed in the assassin's eyes.

Before he could make his next move, a red figure descended from the sky, unleashing a beam of blue light from its hand.

"Who?" The assassin's pupils contracted slightly as he saw the blue light coming quickly and fiercely. He parried with his knife and retreated.

However, when he struck out with his sword, he missed. The blue light veered slightly and struck again from the side.

The assassin's expression changed drastically. He was now overwhelmed by his technique and could hardly defend himself. He let out a low growl and forcefully parried with his blade, letting out a muffled groan as he realized he had suffered some internal injuries.

With a sharp crack, he finally struck the blue light.

The next moment, the green light used the force of his strike to spin around, and the man in red grabbed the other end and thrust it forward, hitting him right in the heart.

*Pfft!* The assassin coughed up blood, the dark red blood soaking through the black cloth covering his face, dripping from his chin.

At this moment, both the red shadow and the green light stopped in front of him. With the help of the twilight, he finally saw that the green light was a crystal-clear green bamboo, and the red shadow was a beautiful woman dressed in a tight-fitting red outfit.

"The Eighteen Styles of Green Bamboo! You are from the Green Bamboo Gang... Wind, Green, Bamboo!" Despair appeared on the assassin's face.

Feng Qingzhu was only 18 years old this year, and his cultivation level was the same as his, at the Body Refining Realm, yet he killed him in just two moves.

thump!

Feng Qingzhu looked at him indifferently, withdrew the bamboo from her hand, and the assassin's corpse fell to the ground.

In the dark alley, Lu Ming was surprised that someone had actually come to assassinate him. He wondered if there were any other people lying in ambush. Just as he was about to make his escape, he saw Feng Qingzhu descend from the sky and kill the assassin.

He then cupped his hands in a gesture of respect from afar and said:

"Thank you for saving me, Senior Sister Feng. I never expected the city to be in such chaos, with flesh-refining martial artists lying in ambush and robbing people."

He certainly knew Feng Qingzhu; she was one of the 400 disciples of the Martial Arts Division this year.

Her and Liu Feilong's only daughter, Liu Yiyi, had just entered the Martial Arts Department and was already ranked in the top ten in terms of physical cultivation. She had long been qualified to be exempted from the martial arts arena, so she was not seen often.

Even among the children of wealthy families, they are in a class of their own, unlike Shen Jue and the others.

"They're not ordinary robbers, they're from the Weiyuan Escort Agency," Feng Qingzhu said, turning around and glancing at him.

Lu Ming was taken aback. Weiyuan Escort Agency?

Is that Guo Yuan's Weiyuan Escort Agency?

"I don't have any grudges against Weiyuan Escort Agency!" he said, puzzled.

It would make sense if Yin Zheng, the leader of the Red Serpent Gang, sent someone to kill him, since he killed Chu Wufeng of the Red Serpent Gang in the arena battle.

Feng Qingzhu said, "Chief镖头 Guo has been acting a bit erratically lately. Anyway, I've been asked by Junior Sister Li to look after you, so you need to be careful in the future."

After saying that, she turned and left.

Lu Ming suddenly realized that it was Li Youning's friend. He had wondered why a martial arts genius like Feng Qingzhu would suddenly appear to save him for no reason.

By the way, Feng Qingzhu seems to be the daughter of Feng Buping, the leader of the Qingzhu Gang. The Qingzhu Gang is one of the "Second Gangs," one of the "Three Great Gangs," and a top-tier force in the city!

Seeing that Feng Qingzhu was about to leave, he thought to himself that this Senior Sister Feng had a somewhat cold personality. Even though she had saved him, she didn't seem to have much human touch.

"Wait!" Lu Ming pulled a Six Harmonies Saber Technique manual from the assassin's body, called out to Feng Qingzhu, and said:

"Senior sister, don't you want this manual?"

Feng Qingzhu stopped, looked at the way his eyes were shining, and shook her head inwardly.

Finger techniques, light footwork, palm techniques—Lu Ming has already learned so many martial arts, isn't he satisfied yet? Could it be that he also wants to learn swordsmanship?

Without saying a word, she turned and left.

Lu Ming said, "Senior Sister is so generous!"

He carefully put away the manual, secretly delighted.

Knife skills? I might try that when I have time later.

He glanced one last time at the corpse on the ground and thought to himself, "Guo Zhengwei of Weiyuan Escort Agency, I'll remember this grudge!"

Not far away, on the second floor of an abandoned courtyard, a burly man stood by the window—it was none other than Shen Jue!

He saw the assassin fail and Feng Qingzhu appear to save Lu Ming. His pupils contracted sharply, and he was shocked and jealous.

"Even a proud and privileged woman like Feng Qingzhu saved Lu Ming. What gives Lu Ming the right?"

Shen Jue's face was extremely ugly, and he cursed the assassin as a useless piece of trash in his heart.

Even though Feng Qingzhu appeared to save him, the assassins had at least one chance to kill him, yet they failed to kill Lu Ming.

He gritted his teeth slightly, watching Lu Ming look around in place before quickly leaving, turning a corner and disappearing from sight. He felt quite unwilling.

A few days ago, he became convinced that recruiting Lu Ming was not worthwhile. He immediately decided to assassinate Lu Ming!

Otherwise, once Lu Ming grows up, the day he had Wu San and his men try to take Lu Ming to see Wei Jinlin will become his own death knell.

Moreover, if he could kill Lu Ming, it would make up for the mistake of not reporting to the family in time when Lu Ming suddenly appeared during the previous arena battle.

Now that he had failed, he was frustrated and took a deep breath to slowly regain his composure.

Fortunately, members of such a family are capable of using others to do their dirty work, rather than taking matters into their own hands.

Guo Zhengwei of Weiyuan Escort Agency was terrified by the demons that day, and his beloved son was killed by them. His mind was becoming somewhat unstable, and he hated the Li family and everyone in the arena battle that day.

After discovering that Yin Zheng, the leader of the Red Serpent Gang, had no intention of avenging Chu Wufeng, he secretly contacted the Weiyuan Escort Agency to provide information on Lu Ming's whereabouts.

Thus, this assassination attempt took place.

Although he failed, at least he didn't expose himself, so he can plan another day.

Shen Jue muttered to himself, then turned to go downstairs.

Just as the setting sun faded and the stars and moon rose, the dilapidated attic, long neglected and abandoned, was dim and hazy, creaking underfoot.

"Found you." A low, eerie voice suddenly rang out, booming like thunder in the silent environment, sending chills down his spine.
