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

"Mr. Leopard was actually killed by that kid?" Fan Li was shocked.

Ji Shuibao was a master of the Nightmare Palace, who had eliminated countless dissidents for him and even defeated the Black Iron Guards. How could he possibly die at the hands of a mere young punk?

Besides confusion and surprise, there was mostly anger.

Although assassins are considered to have cheap lives, once they die, they are gone and no one will hold them accountable.

But this not only failed to eliminate Lin Ping, but also caused him to lose face.

"Take this ten thousand taels of silver and go find Mr. Hu to take action. We must kill that brat tonight," Fan Li said through gritted teeth, clearly hating Lin Ping to the core.

Before long, the guard appeared in a dark alley in Shuntian Prefecture, facing a cold, gloomy figure.

The guard explained the whole story and then handed over a 10,000-tael silver note.

"Mr. Tiger, you must be careful; that kid is a bit strange," the guard kindly warned.

Tailfire Tiger flicked his fiery red robe and sneered, "Don't compare me to that piece of trash, Water Leopard. He's only at the near-fifth level, while I became a fifth-level expert a year ago. Killing that kid is as easy as crushing an ant."

According to the Lotus Palace's strength classification, a fourth-level master is equivalent to the Black Lotus Realm, and a fifth-level master is equivalent to the Red Lotus Realm. The two are indeed far apart, so it's no wonder that Tailfire Tiger is full of disdain for Winnowing Leopard.

Knowing Wei Huohu's volatile temper, the guard knew that if he continued to talk too much, he might be crippled. So he simply explained in detail where Lin Ping had gone.

At midnight, the bright moon hung high in the sky, and its pure light shone through the window onto Lin Ping's face.

Under the influence of alcohol, he pretended to be fast asleep, snoring loudly.

A scarlet figure streaked through the air, obscuring the moon's radiance.

"They're finally here!" Lin Ping suddenly opened his eyes, locking onto the other person's position and quickly calculating the distance.

Click!

The red figure rampaged wildly, smashing the seemingly sturdy window into pieces.

Not only that, the sharp blade cleaved Lin Ping's bed in two.

"A fifth-level master? I wonder who's stronger, you or the guy next door." Lin Ping nimbly rolled off the bed and escaped the room before his enemy could regain his footing.

"Senior Brother, there's a fight going on next door. Should we go take a look?" Du Yitong gripped the hilt of his sword, feeling a little itchy to go over.

As the youngest of the third-generation disciples of Chiyang Pavilion, this was his first time descending the mountain, and he was full of curiosity about everything, especially fighting with others.

This could be a good opportunity to show off in front of the senior brother.

After ten years of arduous training, it's time for him to show his skills; he possesses the strength of a peak fourth-stage cultivator.

Li Hai sat cross-legged, without saying a word.

He didn't need to stop Du Yitong; as long as he didn't agree, the other party would never dare to act on his own.

Bang!

Lin Ping pushed the door open and quickly locked it from the inside, not forgetting to chuckle at Du Yitong, "Being chased by enemies, I'm borrowing this place to lay low for a while."

As he spoke, he glanced at Li Hai secretly, and felt a little flustered.

"Is this Hongling's senior brother?" Lin Ping thought to himself. "He seems rather composed."

Du Yitong, being young and impetuous, couldn't hold back and immediately drew his longsword, aiming it at Lin Ping's throat.

"Do you know who we are? How dare you disturb Senior Brother's peaceful cultivation!" Du Yitong said angrily.

Click!

Just as Du Yitong was about to attack Lin Ping, the grille door was cleaved in two by Wei Huohu's sword.

"You brat, let's see where you run to." Wei Huohu said coldly, not taking Du Yitong seriously at all.

Lin Ping's intrusion into their room was indeed impolite, but Wei Huohu's direct smashing of the door was undeniably arrogant.

"You dare to show off your sword skills in front of Senior Brother? I bet you don't know who the number one swordsman in the world is!" Du Yitong immediately turned his attention to Wei Huohu.

"So that's why this kid was able to kill Jishui Leopard. Turns out he had accomplices. In that case, I'll kill them all too," Wei Huohu said with a sudden realization.

Killing one is the same as killing three; it's just a matter of swinging the sword a couple more times.

Du Yitong was furious, his nostrils flaring with anger. As a disciple of the Crimson Sun Pavilion, he possessed an innate arrogance. At this moment, he felt insulted by Wei Huohu.

On second thought, he was actually quite pleased, finally finding a reason to take action.

"Scorching sun!"

Du Yitong's aura was soaring, his entire body shining like a shooting star streaking across the night sky.

"Peak level four strength?" Lin Ping thought to himself.

Du Yitong was clearly several years younger than him, but his strength was superior. It has to be said that Chiyang Pavilion is a place where many masters emerge.

Not only Lin Ping was surprised, but Wei Huohu was also horrified.

"Are you from the Crimson Sun Pavilion?"

"How about it? Scared? Too bad, it's too late." Du Yitong sneered, his swordplay becoming even more ferocious.

"Fear? Sorry, I'm excited. The plan to wipe out the Crimson Sun Pavilion will begin with the three of you!"

The murderous aura on Wei Huohu's face continued to rise, and powerful energy was poured into his palm, causing a majestic sword aura to descend from the sky.

Boring!

The sound of the swords clashing was deafening, and Du Yitong's entire arm trembled violently, as if it didn't belong to him.

"How is this possible? He actually managed to catch my sword strike." Du Yitong's face turned pale, his heart trembled, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood mist.

As it turned out, Tailfire Tiger could not only catch his sword moves, but also easily defeat them.

"It seems he has already advanced to the fifth dan level," Lin Ping thought to himself.

Back in the Wu Kingdom, a fourth-stage strength was more than enough to get by, and only a few elders of the Lotus Palace could barely reach the fifth stage.

Lin Ping even felt that his fourth-level strength was more than enough, and he had no intention of practicing swordsmanship diligently.

This idea was shattered tonight. Not to mention a fourth-level master, even a fifth-level master was worthless. His strength was simply not enough.

"Hahaha, the disciples of the Crimson Sun Pavilion are nothing special. Let me, Tailfire Tiger, begin the extermination of the Crimson Sun Pavilion disciples!" Tailfire Tiger laughed loudly, overjoyed.

He can not only complete the tasks assigned by Fan Li, but also kill a few disciples of the Crimson Sun Pavilion. Once this news spreads, he will be a hero of the Nightmare Palace.

"Tail Fire Tiger, ranked sixth in the Azure Dragon Gate of the Nightmare Palace." Li Hai slowly stood up; even with his calm demeanor, he could no longer remain seated.

"That was the previous ranking. After I kill you all, I can squeeze into the top three!" Tailfire Tiger was a little unhappy about the sixth-place ranking.

"You have no chance anymore." Li Hai exuded a fierce aura, and every word he uttered was chilling.

Tailfire Tiger was slightly taken aback, but tried his best to remain calm, determined not to lose in terms of momentum.

"You've spoken so arrogantly, I'll kill you right now!"

Unable to remain calm, Tailfire Tiger frantically launched an attack on Li Hai.

call out!

A flash of cold light disappeared in an instant, but Li Hai remained standing in place, not even moving his sword sheath.

Puff puff……

A spray of blood mist flew from the Fire Tiger's throat, and apart from its resentful eyes, no one knew what had happened.
