Facing my question, the man in black snorted disdainfully, "Don't tell me that I should thank you?"
"That's right, you are biting the hand that feeds you!" I nodded and said with a hint of disdain.
With my current strength, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that I could do whatever I wanted in Nan Yun Province, unless I met a master like Master Ouyang. Of course, Hua Jin masters were still rare.
It seemed that the man in black didn't know that I had brought Leng Yue's exquisite soft armor. He was just trying to figure out what I had done to Leng Yue. Originally, I was at the early stage of Negative Jing. After wearing the exquisite soft armor, I could easily face the man in black who was at the late stage of Negative Jing.
The reason why he had the upper hand was because I wanted to see his trump card. If he had a trump card, then it would be difficult to deal with him.
"Hmph, don't pretend to be a big shot. I will beat you until you look for your teeth on the ground!"
The man in black shouted and rushed towards me again. He was also an assassin, ranked within the top 30 in the world. He could definitely be called a peak existence.
It should be known that the people in the top 30 were the most outstanding elites from various countries. Hua Xia only had a total of five, which was quite a lot. Therefore, the man in black had the right to be arrogant.
He didn't believe that a martial artist at the early stage of Negative Jing would have the confidence to act cool in front of him.
The man in black flipped his hand and a thirty to forty centimeters long snake-shaped short sword appeared. It flashed with a faint cold light.
The first feeling that this thing gave me was that it wasn't an ordinary item. Before I could react, the man in black's figure flashed, leaving a trace of afterimage, and crossed a distance of more than ten meters.
He swung the short sword, and as his qi surged out, it was as if several snake heads had condensed on the short sword. Each and every one of them was spitting out their tongues, looking very scary.
Originally, this guy had the strength of the peak of Negative Jing. With the support of the short sword, he faintly showed the strength of a Hua Jin master!
My God, this is definitely a treasure. No wonder there was a rule in the preliminaries that no weapons were allowed. I was naive enough to think that the so-called weapons were at most big knives and axes. For a warrior with Covert Strength, that kind of thing was useless. Now I understand that there is such a magic weapon!
I immediately fell into a disadvantageous position. This time, I didn't dare to be careless and directly used Bajiquan. Moreover, it was a fusion of Qi-Jin and inner strength.
Wisps of fiery red energy gathered on my fist to resist the might of the short sword.
"Zi zi." The short sword continuously whittled down my destructive power and produced a sound similar to metal colliding with each other.
"Yi, you brat, you actually have inner strength!" When he fought with me before, he was just a bit surprised, but now, he was a bit shocked.
Compared to the large number of Qi-Jin martial artists, there were very few who cultivated inner strength. In their assassin organization, there was one who happened to be one of the top five assassins!
Could it be that this kid is his successor?
Thinking of this possibility, the black-shirted man's forehead started to sweat and he retracted some of his Qi-Jin. "Kid, do you know someone called Chen Muchun!"
"Chen Muchun?"
I was stunned. I had never heard of him. Why did he ask me this? Could it be that he had some concerns? Seeing my hesitation, the black-shirted man let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it wasn't his successor. He had heard a lot about that person's legendary deeds.
Even if there were some conflicts, he couldn't offend his successor!
Fortunately, this kid wasn't his successor, otherwise, he could only give up.
"Since you don't know him, you can die now."
A cold light flashed in the black-shirted man's eyes. Originally, he didn't plan to use his trump card unless it was absolutely necessary. However, after a series of confrontations, he found that he couldn't gain any advantage. The black-shirted man couldn't bear it anymore.
An assassin's greatest taboo was to underestimate the enemy. From the ability that this kid had displayed, he indeed had a way to deal with Leng Yue. She had been depressed the entire morning. Moreover, the news of Leng Yue's failed assassination had spread like wildfire in the assassin world. As Leng Yue's pursuer, he naturally couldn't just sit back and watch.
Even if we didn't come to the orchard, we would still be targeted.
After the black-shirted man increased his Qi-Jin, the snake-shaped dagger seemed to be even stranger. It showed an irresistible force.
This was the power of the weapon itself. Although I could rely on the Exquisite Soft Armor to ignore his cultivation, I couldn't resist the destructive power released by the weapon.
Fortunately, my body was strong. If it was a normal Qi-Jin martial artist, his head would have been separated from his body.
Even though I used the fierce Bajiquan, I still felt a little weak. The fiery red Qi-Jin on my fist was forcefully cut open!
"Hmph, is that all you have?
I only used 50% to 60% of my strength. "The black-shirted man snorted coldly. He couldn't hide the pride on his face.
Although he said that, he had actually used his full strength. Leng Yue had just failed, and he definitely wouldn't allow himself to repeat the same mistake.
Just as the dagger was about to pierce my skin, my arm suddenly glowed with an earthy yellow luster. "Bang, bang."
This was the defensive effect of the fourth circulation of the Yi Jinjing. Previously, during the preliminaries, I had absorbed a lot of terrifying Qi-Jin from a HuaJin Master. The conversion rate was pretty good.
Along with the sound, the snake-shaped dagger bounced off, and the black-shirted man moved a few meters away from me.
His expression was extremely strange. "How is this possible?!"
He was well aware of the destructive power of the snake-shaped dagger. There was once a HuaJin Master who died under the dagger. He also became famous because of this battle.
He used his body to block this fatal dagger?
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it even if he was beaten to death.
However, at the center of my fist, there was still a ghastly wound, and fresh blood flowed out.
When my sister-in-law and Liu Jie saw this scene, they anxiously shouted, "Xiao Feng (Brother)!"
They didn't care about their own safety and ran all the way to him. Their faces were filled with panic.
"Tsk tsk. Two beauties, are you planning to follow me until death?" The black-shirted man squinted his eyes and looked at them. Most of his attention was still on me.
Moreover, I could feel a powerful force spreading from the wound after the dagger broke through my defense, wreaking havoc in my internal organs.
Fortunately, I had double powers and was able to resist it in time. Otherwise, I would have died on the spot.
"I beg you, don't hurt Brother Xiao Feng."
Because she ran too fast, Liu Jie tripped and fell. She simply knelt down in front of him, tears streaming down her face.
