At the same time, I suddenly raised my left leg and, with immense force, stomped heavily on the blade of the short knife that the assassin below was thrusting at me.

The enormous recoil force was instantly transmitted back through the weapon.

Instantly, their faces turned deathly pale, and they both let out a muffled groan, their bodies uncontrollably staggering back seven or eight steps before barely managing to regain their balance.

In just one exchange, I forcefully forced them back with a single strike and a kick.

This blow completely shattered the last glimmer of hope they had.

They finally realized that this seemingly young man was actually quite formidable.

Knowing they were no match for the enemy in a direct assault, the two men made a decision the moment they regained their footing—to break out separately.

The assassin on the left, who was leading the group, suddenly fixed his gaze on Li Qing, who was leaning against the SUV.

He knew very well that I had blocked the alley entrance.

The chances of them forcing their way out from my direction are slim.

Li Qing, on the other hand, appeared nonchalant and unguarded, with no strong aura emanating from him.

If they can rush over and take Li Qing hostage, they will have a chance to live today.

Without the slightest hesitation, he exerted force with both legs, and like a hungry wolf cornered in a desperate situation, he charged madly towards Li Qing, leaving a trail of foul odor.

The assassin on the right, however, made a completely different choice.

He glanced at the towering red brick walls on both sides, took a deep breath, and instantly raised his internal energy to its peak.

Then, he stomped his feet against the wall repeatedly, and his body rose up from the ground.

It seems he was trying to climb over the high wall and escape this death trap from above.

Facing the powerful Dan Realm expert who was aggressively attacking him, Li Qing, whose meridians were damaged, didn't even lift his eyelids.

He remained as relaxed and casual as ever, leaning against the somewhat cold car door, a half-burnt cigarette dangling from his lips.

At this moment, he even leisurely took a puff and exhaled an irregular smoke ring.

There was not a trace of panic in Li Qing's eyes, only a mocking look as if he were watching a show.

Because he knew that my knife would be faster than that assassin's.

Just as the leader of the Dan Realm cultivators was less than three meters away from Li Qing, and had even reached out to grab Li Qing's neck, the moment came.

A dark, non-reflective shadow, like a ghost that had traversed space, suddenly appeared before him.

That's my black knife.

At this moment, the black knife, carrying a chilling aura of death, was firmly positioned less than two inches in front of the assassin's throat.

The bloodthirsty aura emanating from the blade made the hairs on his neck stand on end.

If he dares to take another half step forward, the knife will mercilessly slice through his trachea and arteries.

The body of the leader, Dan Jingqianchong, was abruptly halted in mid-air.

Because he forcibly withdrew his strength, his face turned bright red, and a mouthful of blood welled up in his throat, which he then swallowed back down.

I seized the opportunity and suddenly stretched out my left hand, clenching my five fingers into a fist, then turning the fist into a palm in mid-air.

"Bang!"

With a muffled thud, my palm landed firmly on his right chest.

I used almost all my strength in that palm strike.

With a dull thud of bones cracking, the assassin's body froze instantly.

Immediately afterwards, an extremely domineering and malevolent aura surged into his body through my palm like a flood bursting its banks.

The murderous aura, carrying the might of a dragon, instantly tore his originally smoothly circulating internal energy to shreds the moment it invaded his meridians.

"puff--"

The assassin coughed up a mouthful of blood and flew backward at an even greater speed than when he charged at him.

He slammed heavily against a red brick wall more than ten meters away, even creating a shallow dent in the wall.

Then, he slid to the ground like a lump of mud, his body still twitching in pain, clearly having completely lost his fighting ability.

The malevolent energy entered his body, disrupting all his meridians, and he no longer even had the strength to stand up.

Meanwhile, the assassin who was trying to escape from the high place also encountered a desperate interception.

Just as his feet gained leverage from the wall, his body lifted into the air, and he was about to climb to the top of the wall.

The cool sensation between my brows suddenly jolted, and my immense mental power instantly locked onto his location.

The four willow-leaf blades that were suspended in mid-air instantly transformed into four silver lightning bolts under my control.

They intertwined in the air to form an impenetrable net of blades, cutting through the air with sharp, piercing sounds, precisely blocking all the assassin's routes of flight above him.

The blade grazed his scalp and shoulder, leaving behind a few strands of broken hair and drops of blood.

If he doesn't change direction, he'll be turned into a hedgehog by those four lancets in the next second.

With nothing to hold onto in mid-air, he let out a desperate roar and could only forcefully twist his body, abandoning his plan to climb over the wall.

Then, it fell awkwardly from mid-air, landing heavily on the dusty ground with a "bang".

The assassin who had just fallen from the wall landed awkwardly, and before he could even regain his footing, I was already there with my black knife, rushing towards him at lightning speed.

He looked up in terror, about to beg for mercy, when I pulled the bone needle out of my pocket with my left hand.

Immediately afterwards, I flicked my finger.

The bone needle transformed into a black, ghostly light and instantly pierced the Jianjing acupoint on his right shoulder.

Although I did not fully unleash the violent power contained within the bone needle, the malevolent energy attached to it suddenly erupted, directly sealing off the meridians in his right arm.

He screamed in agony as his right arm fell limply to his side.

Immediately afterwards, I twisted my right wrist and held the black knife upside down in my hand.

I didn't use the sharp blade to cut him, but instead aimed the hilt at his abdomen, specifically his dantian area, and stabbed him hard.

"Thump!"

Another muffled sound.

I deliberately controlled the force of this strike, avoiding directly destroying his dantian.

But an equally domineering aura also flowed into his body through the hilt of the sword without any obstruction.

This malevolent energy was like countless tiny ice knives, frantically roaming and wreaking havoc through his meridians.

After taking the blow, the assassin's eyes bulged out and his mouth opened wide, but he couldn't even let out a complete scream.

The immense force sent him sliding backward several meters, where he curled up on the ground in agony, trembling uncontrollably like a boiled shrimp.

Thus, of the two powerful Dan Realm cultivators, one was sent flying by a single palm strike, and the other was sent flying by the hilt of my sword.

Both of them had been infected by malevolent energy, damaging their meridians, and I captured them alive.

From their joint attack to their separate breakout attempts, and finally to their complete subjugation by my full firepower, the entire process was smooth and seamless, without any unnecessary movements.

I slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, drawing back the surging malevolent energy from my body.

At the same time, the four willow-leaf knives that were hovering in mid-air obediently flew back to my lower back under the guidance of my mental power.

I put the black bone needle back into my pocket.

I held the black knife, glanced at the two men lying on the ground, unable to resist, and frowned as I said:

"Why are you running? I told you, you're surrounded."
