Making you a son-in-law is not about making you conquer the world.

"careful!"

As several dark figures rapidly approached, the two gang leaders shouted in unison and drew their swords to block Jiang Yunyu.

Although these two gang leaders were meant to protect Lin Ping, Jiang Yunyu is now also in the crowd. It's very likely that the other party received information and decided to kidnap or assassinate him.

Therefore, the two foremen were right to do the right thing; the heir of the city lord's mansion must not be allowed to encounter any danger.

As for Lin Ping, who cares...

Startled by the sudden tension, Lin Ping shuddered violently, involuntarily losing his balance and landing heavily on the cold ground, his eyes filled with helplessness and fear.

Li Mingxuan and the others behind him were even more frightened, their faces pale, like startled rabbits, clinging tightly to Lin Ping's back, not daring to breathe, as if that would give them a little more sense of security.

The night was as dark as ink. Four men in black stood like ghosts, dressed in tight-fitting night clothes with black veils covering their faces, revealing only pairs of eyes that gleamed with a cold light, revealing a murderous intent that could not be underestimated. These four were clearly well-trained and worked in perfect coordination. They could tell at a glance that the two leaders of Lin Ping's group were no ordinary people, so they decided to launch a surprise attack together.

In the night sky, sword lights shimmered like a tapestry, flashing with a dazzling yet dangerous gleam.

Four men in black moved nimbly, their swordplay fierce, each strike aimed at vital points, attempting a swift victory. However, the two gang leaders were no ordinary opponents either. With resolute eyes and their swords in hand, they remained steadfast, defusing each of the men's attacks with unwavering resolve.

The clanging of metal echoed through the night sky, each clash sending up visible ripples of energy.

Just when the two gang leaders thought they had victory in the bag, the four men in black displayed astonishing adaptability and combat wisdom.

They cleverly used the reaction force from the impact of the swords to perform two somersaults in the air, their figures closing in on Lin Ping like ghosts in an instant.

This unexpected turn of events caught everyone off guard, and Lin Ping was so frightened that he closed his eyes, his heart filled with despair.

"Gentlemen, you've mistaken me for someone else..."

Faced with four pairs of cold eyes, Lin Ping broke out in a cold sweat and stammered, "I, Lin Ping, am merely the son-in-law of the City Lord's Mansion..."

It's obvious to anyone with eyes that Lin Ping, this son-in-law, doesn't have much real power in the City Lord's Mansion. Even if they arrest him or kill him, it won't cause any damage to the City Lord's Mansion. The other party's target is most likely Jiang Yunyu.

The four remained silent, a cold smile seemingly appearing on their faces beneath the black veils. They kept fiddling with the swords in their hands, the silvery gleam blinding Lin Ping.

Are these four people out of their minds?

You still don't understand after all this explanation?

Lin Ping composed himself, stood up straight, and shouted sternly, "Young Master, run! I'll hold them off!"

The chubby boy was deeply moved by these words and accepted Lin Ping as his brother-in-law. As the saying goes, true friendship is revealed in times of trouble, and Lin Ping was a true brother who would go to great lengths for you.

On second thought, Jiang Yunyu felt something was off, but he couldn't quite put his finger on why.

Lin Ping felt extremely guilty. He had deliberately tried to tell the men in black who the heir was so they would let him go.

Of course, Lin Ping wasn't the kind of person without principles. The reason he easily exposed Jiang Yunyu's identity was just a temporary measure. Anyway, Jiang Yunyu had the protection of two gang leaders, so he figured the four men in black wouldn't get any benefit from it.

The four men in black looked somewhat astonished, clearly not expecting Lin Ping to betray the young master just to save his own life. However, they didn't stop walking, muttering four words under their breath: "Despicable scoundrel!"

Seeing that the other party was about to make a move, Lin Ping was panicking inside, but he still straightened his chest and said with a cold expression, "You think you can fight me? Only the strongest one is qualified!"

Although Lin Ping's legs were trembling, his body remained straight, and coupled with his powerful voice, he really did look like a master.

His meaning was simple: he wanted the four men in black to fight each other, and only the winner would be qualified to fight him.

The man in black was so angry he was about to curse. "Do you think we're fools?"

However, just as the four hesitated, two gang leaders rushed over reluctantly. To be honest, if Jiang Yunying hadn't given a death order, they wouldn't have been willing to protect such a despicable coward as Lin Ping.

Two gang leaders leaped into the air, their longswords slashing down with a chilling force; a hit would surely kill the target.

The four men in black reacted quickly, pairing up to block their leader's attack, but still staggered back a few steps and almost fell to the ground.

The man in black had decent lightness skills and swordsmanship, but his strength was really nothing to write home about. In a prolonged battle, he would definitely not be a match for the two gang leaders.

Seeing this, Lin Ping finally breathed a sigh of relief and shouted, "I told you you're no match for me! Beat my two gang leaders first!"

Upon hearing this, both gang leaders wanted to sheathe their swords: We don't know this shameless guy, kill him or do whatever you want.

The two squad leaders made up their minds that after tonight, they would definitely apply to Jiang Yunying to return to the army camp. Even losing their squad leader positions was better than protecting this guy.

What followed was a contest of strength and endurance. After more than ten rounds, the men in black gradually ran out of energy, and the two gang leaders gained the upper hand.

"Who are you people? You even dare to arrest the son-in-law of the city lord's mansion, it's simply..."

One of the gang leaders pointed his sword at the man in black and asked.

Upon hearing this, Lin Ping got excited and loudly added, "That's incredibly audacious!"

However, another leader's voice was even louder than Lin Ping's, clearly saying, "It's simply... unbelievable."

Those words... really hurt!

"It's perfectly normal for them to arrest me! How is this so incomprehensible?" Lin Ping muttered to himself, but dared not utter a sound at this critical juncture, lest the two gang leaders really abandon him.

Just as the leader was about to unveil the man in black, a cold light descended from the sky, landing right between the two and forcing the leader back three or four meters.

"Take Lin Ping away, I'll deal with them!"

A man in black descended from the sky and spoke sharply, the murderous intent in his eyes far surpassing that of the previous four.

The two gang leaders naturally refused to comply, and their powerful swords pierced the black-clad man's vital points with each strike.

The man in black remained calm, his feet resting on lotus blossoms, his movements graceful and effortless as he moved amidst the swordplay, even seizing opportunities to counterattack.

After three rounds, both gang leaders were injured, their chests aching and they nearly vomited blood.

At the same time, the other four men in black had their swords pressed against Lin Ping's neck, ready to slit his throat at any moment.

"Great hero, spare my life! Let's talk this out."

Lin Ping was ashen-faced, his body trembled like a leaf, and his heart pounded loudly.

Facing the cold blade, Lin Ping truly felt the breath of death. A sense of powerlessness welled up within him; no matter how many schemes he had or how strong his scientific knowledge, he couldn't save his life.

Just like a scholar encountering a soldier, there's no way to reason with him; the other party might not give him a chance to argue.

Lin Ping felt a chill run down his spine and broke out in a cold sweat. He was filled with resentment!

He hasn't finished his mission yet.

If I die this time, all the previous nine missions will have been for nothing.

All the hope he had painstakingly gained was shattered.

Just as Lin Ping was lost in thought, the man in black knocked him unconscious. The next moment, everything went black before Lin Ping's eyes, and he lost consciousness completely.
