Li Changfeng, the King of Assassins, is entrusted by his master to protect a wealthy young lady. However, he is met with rejection, and the two begin a battle of wits. What kind of sparks will fly ...
"Cough cough cough!" The young man in black robes collapsed ten meters away, coughing continuously, a trickle of blood flowing down the corner of his mouth.
“You are no match for me.” Li Changfeng stood with his hands behind his back, not pressing his advantage, displaying the demeanor of a grandmaster.
"I refuse to accept this." The young man in black robes wiped away the blood and stood up unsteadily.
"Shall we continue?"
"certainly!"
The young man in black robes drew his long sword from his back and pointed it directly at Li Changfeng. "I haven't even used my weapon yet, how could I admit defeat?"
"Tonight's operation is very important to me personally; I must take Ye Zihan away."
"You can't stop me!"
"Things aren't just about words. If you have the ability to beat me, can your dissatisfaction change the facts? Can it change your status as the weak one?" Li Changfeng smiled calmly.
"Then let me show you my swordsmanship." The young man in black robes held a longsword and performed a few beautiful sword flourishes in his hand.
Then, with a push of his right foot, he sprinted straight ahead.
Li Changfeng remained unfazed by the fierce attack, his expression as steady as a rock.
The young man in black robes was indeed skilled with his sword; once he began to wield his sword, the sword shadows were endless, dazzling the eye.
The offensive was overwhelming, one after another.
He wielded the longsword with such precision that it was impenetrable and left no opening.
Clearly, the young man in black robes was a cut above the rest in terms of swordsmanship, far superior to Eagle Claw.
At least that's what Li Changfeng thinks.
The two fought from the ground to the tree, from the tree to the treetop, and from the treetop to the lake surface.
Two figures darted back and forth across the lake, occasionally causing explosions that sent water splashing and flying high into the air.
The powerful internal force created a tense atmosphere, with a sense of oppression permeating the air.
Even though Ji Bochang was so far away, he was having difficulty breathing and his palms were sweating.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Two explosions rang out in quick succession, and the two men disappeared from the lake's surface, disappearing into the water.
"Emm... what do you think of him just sitting in the water like that?"
"Even movies aren't this captivating. I haven't had enough yet," Ji Bochang muttered, dissatisfied.
"If I can see it even once in my lifetime, then my life has not been in vain."
"It broadened my horizons and increased my knowledge."
Ji Bochang muttered to himself, "I just don't know if Master can beat him."
"Won't it get cold?"
"Pah, pah, pah! I haven't even learned half of the martial arts yet, how can I say such discouraging things?"
Slap him in the face.
Ji Bochang gave himself two light slaps.
Then I considered whether I should get closer to take a look and find out what was going on.
After hesitating for a long time, Ji Bochang still didn't open the car door. It wasn't that he was afraid, but the two of them were too fierce, and only in the car could he feel a little safe.
What if we get caught up in the chaos if we go out?
With my skinny arms and legs and no martial arts skills whatsoever, I'd probably lose half my life if I sneezed.
For safety's sake, it's best not to take the risk.
Instead of worrying about your master, protect yourself.
Anyway, Master has the upper hand, and he might not lose underwater.
Wait a little longer!
"Boom!" A violent explosion occurred in the lake, splashing up a large area of water.
Immediately afterwards, a person was thrown out and hit the shore with a loud splash, like mud.
A sword fell to the ground beside him.
This person was the young man in the black robe.
Li Changfeng followed closely behind, flying over and landing less than three meters away.
"Cough cough, pfft!" The man in black robes spat out a mouthful of lake water, exhausted, his lips pale, unsurprisingly, he was seriously injured.
He tried to get up, but failed each time.
"And now? Do you submit?" Li Changfeng asked quietly.
"I...I..." The young man in black robes stammered, unable to utter a complete sentence for a long time.
Partly because of his injuries, and partly because he had nothing to say.
He deserved his defeat perfectly.
It should be noted that Li Changfeng has not yet used his trump cards, such as hidden weapons and other weapons.
Among them, weapons are the most prominent, with the Tianyuan Sword remaining untouched.
No one has yet experienced Li Changfeng's swordsmanship. The families that were slaughtered were just bumpkins; they could be killed much faster with a sword.
That's all.
The one who will truly make Li Changfeng draw his sword and fight has yet to appear.
However, the man in black robes was already quite good, having reached the level of a minor grandmaster.
He is one of the best among ancient martial arts practitioners.
He could easily wipe out the powerful families in the provincial capital all by himself.
Unfortunately, he ran into Li Changfeng, who insisted on having a competition.
Li Changfeng looked down at the other person and asked, "Are you ready for how you're going to die?"
"I lost." The man in black robes gave a wry smile, his answer seemingly irrelevant, before raising his head. "Could you give me some time?"
"I will come to face my death in three days."
"Heh, I never let a tiger return to the mountain, to avoid causing trouble later, so you must die today." Li Changfeng left no room for negotiation, his tone resolute.
"I, Nie Wuliang, keep my word and will never go back on my word. If I say three days, then three days will be it." The young man in black robes said firmly.
"I can't die now; there are still unfinished things to do."
"This is a request to you, and it's the first time in my life I've ever asked someone for a favor," Nie Wuliang said sincerely.
"If you're not comfortable with that, I can cut off one of my arms as collateral."
"Trading an arm for a life is a good deal, isn't it?" Li Changfeng joked.
“Explain your reasons for giving you three days.”
“My sister is still in the hospital. She is my only living relative. We have been relying on each other since we were little. I want to go back and see her one last time.”
The word "sister" deeply wounded Li Changfeng's heart.
He also had a younger sister, but she was lost.
It has not been found so far.
"When I go back this time, I will use the money I received to pay for her surgery."
"Three days is enough. Once the surgery is complete and my worries are over, I will come to die."
"What illness does your sister have?" Li Changfeng asked.
"Kidney failure! A kidney donor has been found, but I don't have the money to give my sister a transplant, so I had no choice but to agree to kidnap Ye Zihan."
"Although only a third of the money has been paid, it's enough for my sister's kidney transplant." Nie Wuliang's gaze softened, and there was always a touch of tenderness in his eyes when he talked about his sister.
"Be my dog," Li Changfeng said casually.
"What?" Nie Wuliang was stunned.
"From now on, be my dog, and I'll spare your life and never kill you again."
"Including your sister, I can personally treat her and guarantee that she will live a healthy life."
"You know medicine?"
"Yes, it will be even better than you imagine." Li Changfeng radiated confidence, making people subconsciously believe him.
"Forget it! A real man shouldn't be subservient to others for long. I'm a human being, I won't be someone's dog. I'm sorry to disappoint you." Nie Wuliang refused decisively.
“Then I won’t give you time. You’ll die tonight,” Li Changfeng demanded.
It was clear that Li Changfeng admired him to some extent.
Firstly, it was due to Nie Wuliang's martial arts skills, and secondly, it was because of his straightforward, loyal, and righteous personality.
Third, he was in dire need of a capable lieutenant and a sword that could kill for him.
Nie Wuliang is a good choice.
"And even if your sister's kidney transplant is successful, can you guarantee there won't be any problems afterward? That there won't be any rejection reactions?"
