I should not have the face to come again. Who could it be? Could it be... She bit her lip, Zhang Hao's face appeared in her mind, and an inexplicable emotion surged in her heart.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer. Lin Wan gripped the hilt of the sword tightly, took a deep breath, and suddenly opened the door.

The person standing outside the door was not the Zhang Hao she had imagined, but a short, mean-looking man. He was dressed in black and almost blended into the night. If it were not for the faint moonlight, Lin Wan would not have been able to detect his presence at all.

"Who are you? What do you want to do?" Lin Wan asked sternly, the sword in her hand pointing directly at the man's throat.

The man chuckled, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth, and looked her up and down with a lustful look in his eyes. "Little lady, don't be nervous, I'm here to give you warmth."

Lin Wan felt disgusted. The man's tone reminded her of the slick bullies in the brothel. She was immediately furious. "You lecher, you're courting death!"

She shook her wrist, and the long sword stabbed at the man's chest like a venomous snake. The man obviously did not expect Lin Wan to attack suddenly, and the sword move was so fierce, so he hurriedly dodged sideways.

"Oh, you are quite hot girl, I like you!" The man cried out strangely, and dodged Lin Wan's attack with a sway of his body. At the same time, a dagger with cold light appeared in his hand, and he slashed towards Lin Wan's face.

Lin Wan was shocked. Although this man's martial arts skills were not high, they were very strange, and each move was aimed at the vital points, which was obviously the style of a desperate criminal. She did not dare to be careless, and quickly stepped back a few steps, swinging her sword to block.

The "clang, dang, dang" sound of weapons colliding seemed particularly harsh in the silent night. The two men fought back and forth for more than ten rounds, but there was still no winner.

"Little girl, it's useless to struggle. Just follow your brother obediently. I promise to make you feel like you are in heaven!" The man teased her while attacking her in an extremely frivolous tone.

Lin Wan's rage grew even stronger, and she wielded the sword even more fiercely, forcing the man to retreat again and again. However, even though the man was at a disadvantage, he never gave up the attack, and there was always a hint of a cold smile in his eyes, as if everything was under his control.

At this moment, the man suddenly made a feint and turned to run. Lin Wan was about to chase him, but suddenly felt a gust of wind coming from behind her. Before she could react, she was hit on the back by a powerful force. She flew out like a kite with a broken string and fell heavily to the ground.

"Puff!" Lin Wan spat out a mouthful of blood, and felt as if her bones were falling apart, with excruciating pain. She struggled to get up, but found that she couldn't move at all.

"Senior Sister!" A familiar voice came. Lin Wan raised her head with difficulty and saw Zhang Hao running towards her with anxiety and worry on his face.

"You...why are you here?" Lin Wan said weakly. The blood at the corner of her mouth made her look even more pitiful.

"I...I..." Zhang Hao was speechless for a moment. He originally wanted to sneak into Lin Wan's room under the cover of night and have an "in-depth communication" with her, but he didn't expect to witness this scene.

"Hey, kid, you came at the right time, so I don't have to catch you again." The man standing next to Lin Wan said with a grin as he looked at Zhang Hao who was running over.

Zhang Hao's mind went blank. What was going on? A hero saving a beautiful girl? Catching an adulterer in bed? This ridiculous plot made him unable to react for a while.

"Who... who are you? Why did you hurt my sister?" Zhang Hao asked stutteringly, secretly looking at the situation in front of him. Lin Wan's clothes were messy, and there was blood on the corner of her mouth, while the wretched man had a playful look on his face. It looked like a standard "beauty in trouble, bully teasing" drama.

"Kid, mind your own business!" The wretched man spat, his face full of disdain, "This girl is the one I like, get out of here if you know what's good for you, otherwise..." He shook the dagger in his hand, the threat was self-evident.

"You're talking nonsense!" Although Zhang Hao was frightened, he still shouted with courage. Are you kidding? After all, he has watched hundreds of episodes of martial arts dramas. How can he be frightened by such a small scene? Besides, although Lin Wan is a cold woman, she has taught him the "Xiaoyao Sword Technique". It is not reasonable for him to stand by and watch.

"Hey, you're quite a guts boy!" The wretched man laughed as if he had heard some joke, "With your tiny body, you want to be a hero and save the damsel in distress? Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself?"

"You..." Zhang Hao was so angry at his words that his face turned red, but he had no way to refute. His body was originally thin and weak, and he had not practiced martial arts for a few days after crossing over. Compared with the burly and wretched man, he was indeed more than one level lower.

"Junior brother, don't worry about me, just go away!" Lin Wan struggled to get up, but it hurt her wound and she gasped in pain.

"Want to leave? Too late!" The wretched man approached with a grin, the dagger in his hand flashing a cold light, "Today, neither of you will leave here alive!"

"What should I do? What should I do?" Zhang Hao was anxious like an ant on a hot pot. Was he really going to die here today? He was unwilling to die in such an unclear way. He had not yet experienced the joy of ancient life, and had not yet... had not yet been with Senior Sister Lin Wan...

Wait, Senior Sister Lin Wan? Zhang Hao suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and remembered what Lin Wan had said when she taught him the "Xiaoyao Sword Technique": "Xiaoyao Sword Technique emphasizes intention rather than form, controls the sword with qi, and overcomes hardness with softness..."

Yes! Xiaoyao Sword Technique! A glimmer of hope ignited in Zhang Hao's eyes. Although his martial arts skills were low, the "Xiaoyao Sword Technique" was extremely exquisite. Maybe he could use the sword technique to defeat the enemy.

Thinking of this, Zhang Hao no longer hesitated. He took a deep breath, got into position, and used the "White Crane Spreads Wings" move to attack the wretched man.

"Hahaha, just fancy moves!" The wretched man laughed when he saw this. He didn't take Zhang Hao seriously at all and dodged his attack easily.

"Damn it!" Zhang Hao cursed in his heart. Although this wretched man looked clumsy, he was extremely agile and his moves were ruthless. He was obviously a professionally trained killer.

"Go to hell, kid!" The wretched man was furious after missing his attack, so he waved a dagger and stabbed towards Zhang Hao's chest.

Seeing that the dagger was about to pierce Zhang Hao, at the critical moment, he suddenly felt a powerful force surging from his dantian, along the meridians to his arm, and the long sword in his hand seemed to have life, automatically meeting the wretched man's dagger...

"Ding!" With a crisp sound of metal collision, Zhang Hao only felt a huge force coming, which made his palm numb and the sword in his hand almost slip out of his hand.

"What?!" the wretched man exclaimed. He didn't expect that this seemingly weak guy could actually block his full-strength attack.

Zhang Hao didn't expect that he could actually block the opponent's attack, but he didn't have time to think about it. Taking advantage of the moment when the wretched man was stunned, he swung his sword again. This time, his swordsmanship was no longer as clumsy as before, but became smooth and unpredictable, as if it was integrated with the surrounding environment, making it unpredictable.

"This...what kind of swordsmanship is this?" The wretched man obviously felt something was wrong. Although Zhang Hao's swordsmanship looked ordinary, it contained a peculiar charm that made him feel like he had nowhere to hide.

Zhang Hao ignored the wretched man's surprise. He concentrated on performing the "Xiao Yao Sword Technique", one move after another, attacking the wretched man like a storm.

"Damn it! Damn it!" The wretched man was forced to retreat again and again by Zhang Hao. He was shocked and angry. He couldn't understand how this guy, whom he regarded as an ant before, suddenly became so powerful?

At this moment, Zhang Hao seized the wretched man's weakness and stabbed him in the chest with a sword...

“Sizzle—”

The sound of the dagger piercing flesh was particularly harsh in the silent forest.

But the expected scene of blood splattering did not appear. Zhang Hao looked down in disbelief, only to see that the sharp dagger was steadily stopped less than an inch away from his chest.

And holding the dagger was a slender white hand.

Lin Wan had broken free from the restraints without knowing when. Her face was pale, but a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth. She slapped the wretched man on the chest with her backhand.

"puff--"

The wretched man was struck by lightning, spitting out a mouthful of blood, staggering backwards, falling heavily to the ground, unable to get up for a long time.

"Senior sister!" Zhang Hao exclaimed, and hurried to Lin Wan's side, supporting her shaky body, "How are you? Are you injured?"

Lin Wan shook her head, resisting the surging blood in her body, pushed Zhang Hao away, stared coldly at the wretched man on the ground, and said in a cold voice: "Tell me, who sent you here?"

The wretched man struggled to get up, but his injury was agitated and he grimaced in pain, but he remained stubborn and refused to say a word.

"You won't tell me?" Lin Wan's eyes flashed with murderous intent. She held a dagger in her hand and pressed it against the wretched man's throat. "If you don't tell me, I'll make you feel worse than death!"

"Senior Sister, don't!" Zhang Hao saw this and hurriedly tried to stop her. Although he hated this wretched man to the core, he also didn't want to see Lin Wan kill anyone.

Lin Wan glanced at Zhang Hao, a complicated look flashed across her eyes, and she finally retracted the dagger and said coldly: "Tell me, I can spare your life."

Seeing that Lin Wan seemed to really want to kill him, the wretched man panicked. Although he was a desperate criminal, he also cherished his life very much, and begged for mercy quickly, "Lady, please spare me! Lady, please spare me! I'll tell you, I'll tell you!"

"Speak!" Lin Wan said coldly.

"Yes... yes..." The wretched man hesitated, as if he had something to hide.

"Hurry up and tell me!" Zhang Hao urged impatiently.

"Yes...it's the leader of the martial arts world..." The wretched man finally uttered a name.

"What?!" Zhang Hao and Lin Wan were shocked when they heard this. They never thought that this matter would involve the leader of the martial arts world!

"You are lying! Why would the leader of the martial arts world send people to kill us?" Zhang Hao said angrily.

"I... I didn't lie!" the wretched man said quickly, "He gave me some money and asked me to kill you, and he also said... and he also said..."

"What else do you want to say?" Lin Wan pressed.

"You also said...you also said that if I could kill you, you would...give you to me as a reward..." The wretched man lowered his head, not daring to look into Lin Wan's eyes.

"Asshole!" Lin Wan was immediately furious when she heard this. She, the eldest senior sister of the Xiaoyao Sect, was actually humiliated by a despicable villain. This was something her uncle could tolerate but her aunt could not!

"Sister, don't listen to his nonsense. He must be trying to sow discord!" Zhang Hao comforted her hastily, but he was also a little confused. Why did the leader of the martial arts world want to kill them? Was it because of the identity of the sister?

"No, I believe what he said is true." Lin Wan suddenly calmed down, a cold light flashed in her eyes, "The leader of the martial arts world has always wanted to annex our Xiaoyao Sect, and as the successor of the Xiaoyao Sect, I am naturally a thorn in his side. It is reasonable for him to want to kill me."

"But... this is too unbelievable..." Zhang Hao still found it hard to believe. "Why would the leader of the martial arts world take action at this time? And use such despicable means?"

"Because he's afraid." Lin Wan said coldly, "He's afraid that my strength will become stronger and stronger, and eventually threaten his position, so he wants to get rid of me before I grow up!"

"This..." Zhang Hao was suddenly speechless. He didn't know what to say. If what Lin Wan said was true, then their current situation was dangerous.

Who is the leader of the martial arts world? He is a figure that everyone in the martial arts world fears. No one he wants to kill can escape!
