"I don't understand why they don't just take action directly?"

Yuan Qing turned to look at Lu Yuchen.

"Yuan Qing, aren't you underestimating Li Fan?"

"Entering the Fish and Dragon Ranking in one battle, it has been a long time since such a powerful young martial artist has appeared in the martial arts world."

Lu Yuchen was taking notes on a piece of paper as he spoke.

"The blade is ruthless!" "The fists are heavy!" "Physical training is key to physical strength." "Lightness skill unknown?" "The dissolving energy powder is ineffective!" "Clever?"

"If you're not confident, you should let me test it out. That way, you won't waste your sharp knife and silver needles for nothing!"

"I can't bear to let you test it; it would be such a waste if you died!"

"First of all, if I had the same opportunity as Quick Knife, he might not have survived."

Yuan Qing disagreed with Lu Yuchen's opinion, "Secondly, even if I can't kill him, I can still escape!"

"He is physically strong, ruthless with his knife, and has a heavy punch; he clearly follows the path of overwhelming force with sheer strength."

"For this type of martial artist, lightness skill is bound to be a weakness."

"No one can be good at everything!"

"Forget about that. I'm the leader of this operation. Just follow my orders!"

Lu Yuchen did not elaborate further on this issue.

Persuading others is inherently difficult.

Moreover, persuading a determined female assassin.

Yuan Qing may not believe it, but he must make Li Fan's assumptions strong enough.

Only in this way can we ensure that nothing goes wrong.

But now, he still has one question.

That's why Li Fan wanted to kill the Blood-Clad Thief.

He could have avoided taking action against them.

As long as he kills Quick Knife and Silver Needle.

Those blood-clad thieves naturally couldn't stop him any longer.

Could it be that he is like those chivalrous heroes, cold on the outside but warm on the inside?

If that's the case, is there anything I can do about it?

In addition, we can try poisoning.

If the Dissolving Power Powder doesn't work, then let's try something even harder to detect.

......

In the center of Guangfeng County, there stands a building.

The building has nine floors and a plaque with the three large characters "Blood-Clad Building" engraved on it.

The door was wide open, and soft, seductive music drifted out.

Several Blood-Clad Tower warriors stood at the entrance.

"Brothers, just bear with it a little longer, it'll be our turn to go in in another hour!"

"Xiao Wang, look at you, so spineless. This building belongs to us, we can play anytime, why worry about an hour?"

"Brother Mou, that's true, but my brother's in a hurry!"

"Er Gou, you can be impatient, just don't throw up!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

......

Several people stood outside the building, telling dirty jokes as if no one else was around.

Passersby quickened their pace and left.

At this moment, several constables walked by.

"Pooh!"

As they walked by, the Blood-Clad Tower warriors who had been talking spat phlegm at them.

"you......"

A young constable, enraged, prepared to draw his sword.

But the old constable standing next to him quickly grabbed him and said, "Wang Mian, don't be impulsive!"

"We can't afford to mess with them!"

Upon hearing his words, Wang Mian's eyes dimmed.

This is true!

Although the Blood-Clad Thieves were powerful in the past, they were never this arrogant.

But now, they are different.

Ever since their leader, Dan Hanqing, broke through to the next level, this group of bandits brazenly robbed the county magistrate's restaurant to use as their headquarters.

The county magistrate merely symbolically mentioned that he would give his own restaurant to Dan Hanqing as a congratulatory gift.

Moreover, after Dan Hanqing broke through, the Blood-Clad Thieves also rapidly expanded in size.

Originally, the Blood-Clad Thieves only had one leader, Han Qing, but the second leader, Luo Cheng, were both born with innate abilities.

Now, in addition to Luo Cheng, there are three more Xiantians: Lin Gensheng, Wang Jiu, and Li Fuguo.

Such a force is indeed not something a mere constable like him can afford to offend.

"Kid, don't be so defiant."

The scarred man leading the group glared menacingly and threatened, "Don't loiter around here again, or I'll chop you up with one knife!"

Wang Mian's face turned from red to white, and then he left helplessly.

Just then, a rider came from afar.

"Brother Mou, something terrible has happened!"

"What's the panic? Speak calmly, what's wrong?"

"All the brothers at the checkpoint at the intersection of Guangnan and Guangfeng counties were killed!"

"It is said that the person who made the move was a young swordsman, and he headed towards Tianguang County!"

"Damn it, they've gone too far! Brothers, grab your weapons and follow me!"

"Brother Mou, let me finish. Eyewitnesses also saw that in addition to killing our brothers, he also killed two Xiantian martial artists!"

Upon hearing the man's words, Scarface Mou Ge immediately lowered the knife he had raised.

How did they know he was a Xiantian martial artist?

"The witnesses said they saw a white light, and it was on all three of them!"

Damn it!

He really is a master of innate martial arts.

"Wait a moment, I'll go report it!"

......

News of the scarred man quickly reached the ninth floor of the Blood-Clad Building.

In front of the ninth-floor room, all four innate masters stood outside the room.

"Big brother, something's happened!"

Luo Cheng knocked on the door.

"Come in!"

......

Inside the room, a man with a buzz cut stopped practicing his exercises.

The man stood up, his body steaming with heat.

After the breakthrough, Han Qing did not indulge in sensual pleasures.

He has always adhered to his daily practice.

"Tell me, what happened?"

After Luo Cheng finished relaying the message, Han Qing narrowed his eyes slightly.

Young swordsman.

I came from Guangnan County.

The first name that came to his mind was Li Fan, the leader of the Guangnan County Martial Arts Alliance.

"Second brother, do you think that person is Li Fan?"

"Brother, to be honest, I'm not sure!"

"So far, not many people have seen Li Fan."

Luo Cheng shook his head.

But Han Qing frowned slightly.

If that person were Li Fan, he really wouldn't dare to seek revenge.

After all, even a renowned eighth-rank Sky Soarer like He Yishen had been killed before Li Fan broke through to the next level, so he was even less likely to be a match for Li Fan.

But if we do nothing, then it will be difficult to lead the team in the future.

"Second brother, you set off immediately!"

"Head to the Shahe Gang!"

Tell them that Li Fan is on his way to the county seat!

"Gensheng, you take some men and follow Li Fan!"

Regardless of whether that person is Li Fan or not.

But Han Qing was prepared to treat him as Li Fan.

Go to the county town and inform the Shahe Gang of this news, and see if they are interested in making a move.

Then he'll join in and attack together, regardless of whether Li Fan kills him or not.

If the Shahe Gang doesn't intervene, then he'll tolerate it.

......

The sun is setting in the west, beside the county road.

A tea stall was bustling with activity.

Many caravans stopped around the tea stalls.

The tea stall owners are a middle-aged couple.

The woman brewed tea and prepared snacks.

The man carried a teapot and moved back and forth between a dozen or so tables.

Outside the tea stall was a simple stable.

Bundles of hay were piled up around the stable.

A young man stood by the county road, constantly inviting passing merchants to rest in the tea stall.

"Young master, it's getting late. The nearest post station is over thirty miles away."

"Why don't we have a cup of tea here and rest for the night? That way we'll have someone to look out for us!"

Seeing Li Fan dismount, the young man took the reins and tied the horse back up.

Snap!

In the teahouse, the gavel is used to startle the audience.

An old man picked up his teacup, took a sip to moisten his throat, and then said, "Today, let's talk about the battle when Li Fan, the One-Sword Swordsman, entered the Fish-Dragon Ranking, which ranked forty-eighth!"

"On that day, dark clouds loomed over the city."

"He Yishen, the deputy leader of the Shahe Gang, led more than a hundred elite troops to attack."

"In Guangnan County, more than a dozen martial arts sects have defected."

"More than a thousand warriors fought fiercely on the long street in front of the Zhenwu Division."
