Two thousand years ago, a strand of sword light flashed across the nine heavens, tearing through the sky.
The world recovered, and martial arts began to revive.
Two thousand years later...
Inside the room.
The blade gleamed, its sharpness fully revealed.
This immediately caused Lei Yao's expression to change drastically. He subconsciously looked towards the door and saw a line of blood appear on the body of the man in black robes.
A line drawn straight down from the top of the head divides the person in two.
puff……
The next second.
The bloodline expanded instantly, and then the body split apart with a bang, collapsing into a pool of blood.
There was another person outside the door.
Dressed in black, wearing a demon mask, and holding a blood-dripping sword, he resembled a demon crawling out of hell.
This person was none other than Lin Xuan.
After leaving his post, his first stop was Lei Yao's place.
Originally, he only wanted to kill Lei Yao.
Unexpectedly, he stumbled upon Lei Yao's conversation with the sorcerer of the Longevity Cult and witnessed a great show.
So he lay in ambush outside the room, waiting for the moment the sorcerer from the Longevity Cult opened the door.
They immediately launched a sneak attack.
He cleaved it in two with a single stroke.
"Who...who are you...?"
Looking at the black-robed man's corpse, now split in two, Lei Yao felt a chill run through his entire body.
I couldn't help but shiver.
The look in his eyes as he looked at Lin Xuan was filled with fear.
He knew the black-robed man's strength perfectly well.
But now he was cleaved in two by Lin Xuan's blade, which shows just how terrifying Lin Xuan's strength must be.
"The one who will take your life."
Lin Xuan sneered, picked up his knife, stepped over the corpse of the man in black robes, and walked into Lei Yao's study.
His deep, cold voice carried a chilling killing intent.
And that's coupled with his devilish face.
It was as if they had just crawled out of the deepest hell.
The temperature in the room dropped by more than ten degrees without anyone noticing, and the air seemed to freeze.
Lei Yao felt a chill run through his body; gripped by fear, he felt like he was being beaten with a board.
He dared not run away, much less shout.
Because he knew he couldn't escape, and shouting would only enrage Lin Xuan, who would then cleave him in two with a single blow.
The man in black robes couldn't stop him, and he was even less able to stop him.
"Friend, where did I offend you? I... I apologize, I'll compensate you, just tell me what you want..."
Lei Yao said, his voice trembling.
"Heh, I need your head..."
Lin Xuan sneered, not intending to waste any more words with this person. He swung his longsword and slashed horizontally.
Wind and Thunder Blade Technique: Sever the Body!
A flash of light.
Amidst the tremors of wind and thunder, a streak of sword light flashed across the sky.
In the next instant, it sliced through Lei Yao's body as easily as cutting tofu.
Too fast.
Lei Yao didn't even have a chance to react, nor did he feel any pain; a spurt of blood flew out.
The person was cut in half at the waist.
When the upper half of his body hit the ground, Lei Yao was still conscious.
It was only at this point that he felt the pain.
"ah……"
A piercing scream emanated from the study, echoing throughout the entire mansion.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, for slaying a Life Spring Realm martial artist and gaining 2876 points of Luck.]
A system notification sounded in my mind.
At the same time, a surge of powerful blood and soul energy flowed into Lin Xuan's body, and a memory surfaced in his sea of consciousness.
Lin Xuan's lips curled up slightly; another two thousand eight hundred points of luck.
The black-robed man he just killed gave him over 5,000 luck points, bringing his total to over 8,000.
This trip was profitable.
With one step, Lin Xuan was already out of the room, disappearing into the darkness like a ghost.
Vanished without a trace.
The night grew increasingly dark and cold.
In Lei Yao's mansion, everything was in chaos. Everyone stared at the two corpses in the study, their eyes wide with disbelief and their faces filled with resentment.
For a time, everyone felt insecure and panicked.
Meanwhile, Lin Xuan had already silently left Lei Yao's mansion and fled into the night, heading towards his next destination.
Blue Moon Club.
Lin Xuan's next target is Shi Qianhong, the First Army Commander.
It was Lei Yao, whom he colluded with, who intimidated and pressured Su Changfeng, and then personally ordered Qi Tianshou to arrest Su Changfeng.
As the First Army Captain, Shi Qianhong should have been living in the First Army's garrison.
However, according to Ling Zhan's investigation, Shi Qianhong had been staying overnight at the Blue Moon Club during this period.
This guy became infatuated with one of the top courtesans at Blue Moon Club.
For half a month, he did not return to the First Army's garrison.
"A dignified First Army Captain has been staying in the clubhouse for half a month without coming out, and hasn't even returned to his post."
hehe……"
Lin Xuan walked forward in the darkness, unleashing the Wind and Thunder Steps of the Dao Realm to its fullest extent.
It streaked across the night sky like a gust of wind and thunder.
Less than three minutes.
The person has arrived at the Blue Moon Club.
This is one of the top-tier clubs in the entire Shanhaiguan area, operating on a membership system.
The signboard is understated, yet exudes elegance and luxury.
If it weren't for the information provided by Ling Zhan, he really wouldn't have known that this place was actually a leisure club.
There are six guards at the entrance of the clubhouse.
These are just the ones in the open; there are four more hidden in the shadows.
Their strength was not low; they were all at the Blood Exchange Realm.
Inside the clubhouse, there were guards every three steps and sentries every five steps, with experts from the Wheel Sea Realm leading patrols.
The security measures are very thorough.
Unfortunately, it was useless to Lin Xuan.
He was so fast, even exceeding the speed of sound, that he could run right past these guards without them even seeing him.
