Lin Ping was glad he was a step too slow, otherwise he would have been drained of his yang energy by Jiang Yunying and would not have been able to escape. So he quickly put on his clothes and looked outside through the crack in the door.

Under the moonlight, a man in white walked in the middle, surrounded by several masked men in black robes, who were clearly experts from the Lotus Palace.

Upon closer inspection, Lin Ping was startled to find that the white-robed man in the middle looked exactly like him.

Bang!

The door was kicked open, and Jiang Yunying, who had just finished dressing, stood in front of Lin Ping, coldly asking, "Are you the Thousand-Faced Gentleman?"

The Thousand-Faced Gentleman, as the name suggests, is a person with a thousand faces. In other words, this person is skilled in disguise, which explains why he could impersonate Lin Ping. It is likely that he used this method to deceive the guards.

"I am Mo Youying." The pale-faced man smiled strangely, and a purple longsword appeared in his hand.

"The Ghostly Sword?" Jiang Yunying was shocked and hurriedly pushed Lin Ping into the room, her whole body trembling.

Like the Gouchen Sword, the Youying Sword is one of the eight minor swords of the Lotus Palace, but it ranks above the Gouchen Sword. Legend has it that the owner of the Youying Sword has already advanced to the Red Lotus Realm.

Therefore, the other party is a whole level higher than Jiang Yunying, and their strength is not even on the same level.

"Young lady, you've seen quite a lot, you even recognize my Ghostfire Sword." Mo Youying's voice was icy cold, and the purple light on the Ghostfire Sword became even stronger, even illuminating the surroundings.

Lin Ping realized something was wrong; otherwise, Jiang Yunying wouldn't have been so nervous.

"Fire!" Lin Ping shouted as the enemy entered the encirclement.

At the same time, thousands of arrows came from all directions, swooping down with a resounding thud.

These thousand arrows trapped the six men in a small circle about ten feet square, leaving them no chance to escape.

"A mere trick." Facing the overwhelming barrage of arrows, Mo Youying merely smiled coldly. The purple longsword in her hand moved unpredictably, forming a sword net in mid-air, which was also the safest protective shield.

This sword net had no gaps, so even sharp arrows couldn't get through; some were even sliced ​​in half, changing their direction of movement and nearly injuring Lin Ping.

"The ultimate expression of romance and beauty?" Jiang Yunying murmured to herself, her expression growing even more solemn.

At the pinnacle of each major level, one can unleash the ultimate sword technique, thereby generating power beyond that technique.

Jiang Yunying knew she didn't have that ability; even Feng Wuhua, who had been advancing for ten years, could only look up to her.

Therefore, the rumors are true; Mo Youying has indeed advanced to the Red Lotus Realm.

"Fire again!" Seeing that all the thousands of arrows had landed, yet the enemy had not suffered any damage, Lin Ping was extremely anxious.

He had long suspected that the Lotus Palace would not let him go and would likely choose to launch a night attack, so he ambushed thousands of private soldiers around the area. No matter how strong the enemy was, they could not possibly defeat a thousand men by one.

To be honest, the experts of Lotus Palace could not fight against a thousand men, but they were able to escape unscathed from a thousand-strong army and even take Lin Ping's head.

"Knowing that distinguished guests were coming, you only prepared these few dishes. It's truly disappointing," Mo Youying said, shaking her head, showing no interest whatsoever.

"Master, I'll go kill this brat!" Lin Xiaomei's senior brother volunteered and rushed towards Lin Ping, naturally wanting to steal the credit.

However, Gao Shou, being a pure and innocent woman, was completely incapable of using romantic sword techniques. She was quickly surrounded by arrows, her sword flailing wildly in her hand, and she was in danger of being shot at any moment. She had no chance of killing Lin Ping.

Even if he could break through the arrows, he was no match for Jiang Yunying. It would be better to patiently wait for Feng Wuhua and Mo Youying to make their move.

"Useless!" Feng Wuhua shouted coldly, instantly rushing to Gao Shou's side and raising a sword net in mid-air once again.

This blue sword net was clearly not as dense as the purple one, but it could still barely block the arrows, since the private army's firepower was mainly focused on Mo Youying.

"Well done!" With a cold laugh from Lin Ping, a black cloth suddenly fell from the sky above the Phoenix Dance Flower.

"Is it another iron net inside?" Feng Wuhua muttered disdainfully to herself, holding the Gouchen Sword in her hand as she rose into the air, the sharp sword light instantly cutting the black cloth to shreds.

Feng Wuhua looked down on Lin Ping for actually trying to use the same trick twice, especially since he hadn't even succeeded the first time.

However, is there really an iron net hidden inside this black cloth?

Why did it shatter so easily, with Feng Wuhua not even feeling any resistance?

The answer is definitely no. Lin Ping never does anything he's not confident about. If he had known that there were experts like Feng Wuhua in the Lotus Palace, how could he have dared to continue using such a simple trap as the iron net?

The black cloth was filled with lime, and the moment the Phoenix Dance Flower was cut open, the whole world turned white.

"Despicable!" Feng Wuhua screamed, wildly wielding the Gouchen Sword in her hand, yet she still couldn't escape the fate of becoming a white person.

Moreover, due to carelessness and underestimation of her enemy, Feng Wuhua was completely unprepared and got a lot of lime in her eyes.

This thing reacts when it comes into contact with water, producing alkaline substances and releasing heat. If Feng Wuhua hadn't closed her eyes in time, she would probably have gone blind. Even so, she was still rolling around on the ground in pain.

"Master!" Gao Shou panicked. His eyes were also filled with lime. Hearing Feng Wuhua's scream, he immediately lost his composure.

"Fire!" Lin Ping wouldn't miss any opportunity to kill the enemy, and continued to order his private troops to fire arrows.

This time, Feng Wuhua and the expert both closed their eyes and struggled painfully, having no energy left to pay attention to the arrows falling from the sky.

Seeing that a master like Feng Wuhua was about to be shot to death, Jiang Yunying broke out in a cold sweat.

In her view, the experts of Lotus Palace were invincible and could not be killed by a few ordinary soldiers. Now this idea has been overturned. At least her ruthless husband can kill the experts.

"A mirage!" In a moment of desperation, Mo Youying uttered a soft cry, and without moving from her spot, she moved in a blur in front of Feng Wuhua.

"A clone technique?" Lin Ping stared in astonishment at the two Mo Youyings, unable to distinguish the real one from the fake.

Jiang Yunying shook her head and said, "This is a special technique of the Red Lotus Realm. The movement speed is extremely fast, just like a flower in a mirror or the moon in the water."

As expected, the figure that remained stationary was pierced by the arrow but suffered no harm.

"You really are a despicable villain. If I don't kill you today, you will surely become a scourge in the future!" Mo Youying easily blocked the arrows falling from the sky for Feng Wuhua and said coldly to Lin Ping.

"Husband, be careful!" Jiang Yunying stepped forward and blocked a rapidly approaching afterimage in mid-air.

"You mere Black Lotus Realm dare to fight me?" Mo Youying's icy voice was extremely disdainful. The afterimage left beside Feng Wuhua gradually disappeared and finally condensed beside Jiang Yunying.

Did they move three meters in a fraction of a second? Lin Ping's heart skipped a beat as a powerful aura of death swept over him.

Lin Ping was well aware of some of the structures of the human body. The human visual reflex nerve lasts for 0.1 seconds. In other words, a distance moved within 0.1 seconds will cause visual persistence, which will result in this afterimage.

While Lin Ping was pondering, the two people not far away had already exchanged no less than ten blows.

Jiang Yunying spared no effort in every move, yet she was still forced to retreat step by step. Even her most prized sword was broken by the Youying Sword.

"I, Jiang Yunying, am quite influential, to have actually alarmed the head of Jiang Zhongtang." Jiang Yunying wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and said with a sneer, never expecting that Mo Youying would personally take action.

Even more unexpectedly, he also had the identity of a man of a thousand faces, which allowed him to easily infiltrate the city's main city.

"No, no, no." Mo Youying shook her head and said, "My target is this kid, not you."

Lin Ping's actions had already reached Mo Youying's ears. He initially thought the rumors were untrue and mostly exaggerated, so he decided to see for himself. When Lin Ping almost killed Feng Wuhua, he finally believed it and became even more determined to kill Lin Ping.

Once Lin Ping dies, the City Lord's Mansion will be nothing more than an empty shell, and it will be defeated sooner or later by the combined forces of the Lotus Palace.

Since the entire Lotus Palace plan included Jiang Yunying, she naturally couldn't be killed. After kicking her away, Mo Youying rushed towards Lin Ping, leaving countless afterimages along the way.

"Husband, run!" Jiang Yunying shouted, clutching her lower abdomen. She had no time to help Lin Ping.

"If I could run, would I have waited until now?" Lin Ping broke out in a cold sweat. He turned the X-ray function of his right eye to the maximum and could barely make out the other person's movement trajectory.

"Master Ping is a former Lee Sin player, his predictive ability is top-notch!" Lin Ping kept encouraging himself, aiming the crossbow bolt in his hand at Mo Youying's front.

Bang!

The crossbow bolt roared out, like a venomous snake flicking its tongue, perfectly predicting Mo Youying's movements.

"How is that possible?" Mo Youying's face darkened, and she spun around in place, but her shoulder was still grazed by the crossbow bolt.

As a Red Lotus, his speed was almost faster than that of a crossbow bolt. If he were to shoot directly at him, it would be impossible to hit him. However, Lin Ping aimed his arrow directly in front of him, perfectly predicting his movement.

"Hmph, don't think your movement technique is so strange. To Master Ping, it's just a snake-like movement. As long as you predict correctly, I can kill you in a minute!" Lin Ping said coldly, and fired another crossbow bolt.

However, movement and positioning are not the same concept, or rather, movement is a combination of ordinary positioning and displacement. After two or three flashes, Mo Youying had already arrived in front of Lin Ping.

"Die!" Lin Ping bent over, and a wooden stake as thick as a bucket shot out from behind him, aimed directly at Mo Youying's chest.

Mo Youying thought Lin Ping had run out of tricks, but unexpectedly, the wooden stake flew more than ten meters away despite her forceful slapping with both hands.

"Kill him!" At the same time, Pang Xingji led hundreds of men out from the corner, each holding a sharp kukri.

"Husband, are you alright?" Jiang Yunying quickly stepped back to Lin Ping's side and asked with concern.

Based on their exchange, she had a rough idea of ​​Mo Youying's strength. Logically speaking, Lin Ping's arrow shouldn't have hit her, which made her very puzzled.

"Despicable scoundrel!" Mo Youying leaned on the ground with her longsword, her whole body feeling like it was falling apart. Not only that, but black marks appeared on the wound on her shoulder, clearly indicating that she had been poisoned.

Lin Ping not only poisoned the arrowheads but also applied a lot of anesthetic, causing Mo Youying's entire arm to quickly lose sensation.

"Thank you for the compliment!" Lin Ping readily accepted the other party's praise.

In their brief encounter, this wasn't the first time Mo Youying had used the term "despicable villain" to describe Lin Ping, fully demonstrating Lin Ping's insidious and ruthless nature, and also proving the anger in Mo Youying's heart.

Facing the encirclement of hundreds of private soldiers, Mo Youying remained calm and even sneered.

"Killing you is enough with one hand!" Mo Youying held her sword in one hand, her figure elusive, easily killing several private soldiers before returning to Lin Ping's presence.
